Takis Theodoropoulos was born in Athens in 1954. He started his career as a journalist and was the first editor-in-chief of the culture magazine »TO TETARTO,« published by Manos Chatzidakis. He worked for the daily newspaper »TA NEA,« writing for the culture pages and reviewing books. Since 1998, he has been the publishing director at Oceanida publishers. He is the author of numerous novels, many of which have been translated into French and other languages.
In the 17 books he has written to date, he often draws on Greek antiquity, especially life in classical Athens. Yet he uses this background to illuminate characters and make connections from a modern perspective. In doing so, he does not shrink away from anachronisms, for example when he describes a dream taken from Xenophon's »Anabasis« as having a »double meaning, as did all dreams before psychoanalysis invented the subconscious« or – the other way round – when Aspasia, seeing Pericles' death, hallucinates the Acropolis as it is today. His works are influenced by a deep knowledge of classical Greek literature, philosophy, and cultural history, from which he builds an arch to modern Greece. Walking with Socrates through Athens (»Die barfüßige Wolke«; tr: The Barefoot Clouds), we arrive in places which, in Theodoropoulos' words, »stretch into the present like scarred-over wounds of the past.« Often presented in little asides, his characterisation of the »Greek disposition« then and now is particularly incisive. His books that are not set in classical Greece are about the conflicts that Greek artists have with themselves, their world and their work, whether they are painters or theatre directors. In prose that draws its vocabulary from the from the deepest wells of the Greek language and, at the same time, purposefully breaks register by adding bits of slang, several recurring motifs appear and can be traced throughout Theodoropoulos' Œuvre. All of his works, even those most strongly influenced by cultural history, such as the monograph of discovery and Venus de Milo's long journey to the Paris Louvre, have been thoroughly researched and laced with an irony that at times rises to the level of Cavafy.
In 1999, his novel »I dynami tou skoteinou theou« (1999; Engl. »The Power of the Dark God,« 2007) won the prize of the Ouranis Foundation of the Academy of Athens. In 2004, the Académie Française awarded the author's complete works in French the Médaille de Vermeil du Rayonnement de la Langue et de la Littérature Françaises. The author lives in Athens.

HE is the way, the truth and the LIFE. HIS name is Salvation. HE is salvation.
God gave us Jesus Christ. Trust in HIM and you will receive HIS Life. Salvation is a gift, not something we have earned. HE died and rose for all men.
Phil is correct....Jesus came to put away sin. So now what must man do to be saved?
Believe on HIM who HE has sent.
Sin wont condemn but unbelief will.
Sin is not imputed because of the Cross.
LIFE is Salvation...there is no other answer.
HE is the way, the truth and the life. HIS name is Salvation.
What is the work we MUST DO?
The question remains, What must mankind DO to be saved?
WHAT MUST MAN DO to be saved?
Mankind needs an answer. Was this question never asked of Jesus? If so, what did HE answer?
God reconciled the world to Himself through Christ, not counting mens sins against them.
Christ died for all, that they might be saved through faith in HIM.
The Gospel brings the news of salvation for all, but will all believe it?
There are many who claim they believe but do not. Its a message for some thats too good to be true.
I believe on HIM who you, GOD have sent.
This is my answer to this blog..
Do good works produce faith? OR does faith produce good works? When you know the answer there will be no confusion.
When we have true faith, good works will always be present in love and obedience.
Believe on HIM and you shall be saved.
We can NEVER decide to be saved, as God has already decided that for us. We can only decide NOT to be saved, by not trusting in the Lamb of GOD.
How do we get saved? We get saved by HIS life. How do we get HIS life? By trusting in the death and resurrection of Christ. Its by grace through faith. HE is the way, the truth and the LIFE.
Salvation means LIFE. There is no other meaning.
When a person is saved, that person has(spiritual) life always.
Christ will give you LIFE.
Christ came to put away sin so men could have life.
Sin does not cause eternal tormenting, it(sin) causes death.
If men want life then men must come to Christ to have life.
Hell means the grave OR death.
We are led by the Spirit, not what we read. Its the meaning that will be revealed that is inspired, not just words.
We must hear the good news, then trust the news as truth.
We then can have life through christ.
As a believer we live and proclaim the Gospel. We never waiver from the truth, that being, HIS death, resurrection and what it all means to those who trust in HIM. He Came to put sin away so those who trust in HIM and HIS work(cross) can have life.
Those who hear then seek will be called. When your called you will run in tears to serve and have life eternal.
What a joy the Christian life is.
If we say we are still sinners, we deny the work of the cross. We deny Christ.
Christ came into the world to (save sinners) OF whom I am chief or first of. He was NOT a chief sinner. Paul was a sinner who got saved. Anyone who thinks Paul meant he is the chief of sinners doesnt understand what Christianity is about. We were all sinners but now have life through Christ.
How can some be so ignorant to say Paul was chief sinner after being made righteous.
Jesus came to put away sin and not imput sin anymore.
There are some here who want to do away with the Cross. Makes me sick.

Autumn Splendor scrapkit by Cinnamon Dreams. You can get this aweseome freebie from her blog.
If you do not have this scrapkit, use one of your own and use my tutorial as a guide.
Font of choice. I used Diana which I can't supply because it is a pay font.
Let's begin! Open up my template and delete the credits layer. Highlight the leaf frame layer and go to selections > select all. Selections > float. Selections > defloat. Open up a paper of choice from your scrapkit. Paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to selections > invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect (CTRL + D) Delete the leaf outline layer.
Now depending on your tube, you may want to fiddle around with the brightness and contrast. The lighter the tube, the lower you want to go with brightness and contrast, the darker the tube, the higher in brightness and contrast you want to go.
Give the tube layer a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 35, blur 6.00 Change the properties of the tube layer to Luminace, and lower the opacity to about 90%. Delete the gray leaf fill layer. Highlight your paper leaf outline and apply xero soft mood with the same settings. Give your leaf paper outline a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 55%, Blur 8.00.
Hide your white background, rectangle outline layer, and rectangle fill layer and merge visible layers.
Highlight your rectangle outline layer. Go to Selections > select all. Selections > float, selections > defloat. Open up another paper of choice and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to selections > invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect (CTRL + D) Delete the black rectangle layer.
Grab your magic wand tool, tolerance set at 50, feather set at 0. Highlight the rectangle fill layer. Click on it, so it has marching ants all around it. Open up another paper of choice, and paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Go to Selections > invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect.
Delete the gray rectangle fill layer. Highlight your paper rectangle frame and give it a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 60, blur 5.00. Merge your, paper rectangle paper layer, photo layer, and paper rectangle fill layer together.
Open up a frame from your scrapkit. Paste as a new layer onto your canvas. Resize so it fits your canvas. Position over the right side of your rectangle. Grab your magic wand tool, tolerance 50, feather 0.00. Select the empty parts of your frame. Go to Selections > modify, expand by 4.00. Open up another paper of choice. Paste onto your canvas as a new layer. Go to Selections > Invert. Hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect (CTRL +D) Drag the paper layer beneath your frame layer.
Remember! Play around with the brightness and contrast if you like until you find something right for your tube!
Delete any parts of your tube that you don't want hanging over your frame.
Highlight your frame layer and give it a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 75%, blur 10.00.
Decorate your frame with leaves, bows or ribbons.
When you are satisfied with your decorating, hide your white background, and merge your visible layers.
Open up a last paper of choice. Highlight your white background. Go to layers > new raster layer. On the new layer, go to Selections > select all. Copy your paper and right click on your canvas and choose > Paste into selection. Deselect.
Apply the mask to the pasted paper layer. Delete the mask, answer yes and merge the group. Go to Adjust > sharpness > sharpness. Apply a drop shadow of H and V 0, Opacity 25%, blur 10.00.
Crop and resize if your like. Add your copyright info, watermark and text.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Telcos refuse to budge on customer service: ACMA
Regulator to take submissions on road
Computerworld Staff (Computerworld)
The Australian Communication and Media Authority's (ACMA) public inquiry into telecommunication customer care has drawn poor responses from the industry, according to ACMA chairman, Chris Chapman.
The organisation recently released public submissions to the communication regulator's "Reconnecting the Customer" inquiry into customer services. Over 120 submissions were received from industry, government, consumer representative groups and individuals, but Chapman said the response from industry fell short of expectations given initially positive signals from executives.
"Too many of the submissions were little more than reiterations of the current self-regulatory framework and cautioned against any regulatory intervention," he said in a statement. "I was surprised the telcos did not come up with more constructive solutions to issues they admit are major problems."
The inquiry will host industry, consumer and youth workshops around Australia over the next two months to focus on customer service issues.
"I look forward to the industry stepping up with positive proposals to remedy the problems," said Chapman.
The consultations are to help inform the ACMA's views on the causes of customer service and complaints-handling problems and possible remedies.

Sleep depriving mice affects clock gene expression, suggesting that these genes partake in sleep homeostasis. The mechanisms linking wakefulness to clock gene expression are, however, not well understood. We propose CIRBP because its rhythmic expression is i) sleep-wake driven and ii) necessary for high-amplitude clock gene expression in vitro. We therefore expect Cirbp knock-out (KO) mice to exhibit attenuated sleep-deprivation (SD) induced changes in clock gene expression, and consequently to differ in their sleep homeostatic regulation. Lack of CIRBP indeed blunted the SD-incurred changes in cortical expression of the clock gene Rev-erbα whereas it amplified the changes in Per2 and Clock. Concerning sleep homeostasis, KO mice accrued only half the extra REM sleep wild-type (WT) littermates obtained during recovery. Unexpectedly, KO mice were more active during lights-off which was accompanied by an acceleration of theta oscillations. Thus, CIRBP adjusts cortical clock gene expression after SD and expedites REM sleep recovery.


Studies of key biblical passages on women's roles in the church fill entire bookshelves, if not libraries. But in Women in the Church, Stanley Grenz and Denise Muir Kjesbo offer the first in-depth theological study of this issue--one of the most bitterly contested issues of our day. Carefully considering the biblical, historical and practical concerns surrounding women and the ordained ministry, this book will enlighten people on all sides of the issue. But Grenz and Kjesbo make no secret of their bold conclusion: 'Historical, biblical and theological considerations converge not only in allowing, but also in insisting, that women serve as full partners with men.' Thorough and irenic, Women in the Church bids to take an intense discussion to a new plane.
Denise Muir Kjesbo is director of children's and family ministry at Bethel University. She has taught at North American Baptist Seminary at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, North American Baptist College in Edmonton, Alberta and Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia. Kjesbo has been involved in children's and family ministry from small church plants to large established churches. She has been a workshop presenter for two curriculum publishing companies, trabeling throughout the United States and Canada to train and equip those serving in children's and family ministry. Kjesbo is the co-author of Women in the Church: A Biblical Theology of Women in Ministry, as well as numerous magazine and journal articles.


Recent research has demonstrated the relevance of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway for maintaining BBB integrity and the loss thereof in brain aging and neurocognitive disorders [10–13]. In the adult brain, astrocytes secrete Shh. Upon secretion, Shh binds and inactivates its receptor Patched-1 (Ptch1), which results in the activation of Smoothened (Smo) and subsequent activation of Gli family transcriptional factors including Gli-1 [10, 14]. While the complete functionality of the Shh signaling pathway is not known, recent studies show that netrin-1 plays an important role in Shh-induced upregulation of TJPs, which are critical for maintaining the selective permeability of the BBB [10, 13, 15, 16].
Despite advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-infected patients continue to suffer from HAND, which have been commonly linked to the breakdown of the BBB [17–19]. Previous studies clearly demonstrate the advantages of using a simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) macaque model to imitate BBB breakdown in the brains of HIV-infected patients [20, 21]. Using this model, we studied changes in Shh signaling and neurovascular supporting cells in the brains of uninfected adult macaques (UI), SIV-infected macaques with no signs of encephalitis (SIVnoE) or with encephalitis (SIVE). A better understanding of the effects of HIV/SIV on the Shh pathway and periendothelial support structures at the glio-vascular interface will help identify potential therapeutic targets to reduce BBB breakdown in HIV-infected patients.
Shh has been noted as a significant factor in damage repair across multiple neurocognitive diseases and disorders including MS and ischemic brain injury, as well as HAND. Shh has been seen in astrocytes in all stages of MS lesions as well as in normal appearing white matter within the MS brain, but high levels of Shh + macrophages tend to be present in demyelinating lesions and less so in remyelinating lesions, which primarily house Shh + axons [10, 29, 30]. A similar increase in Shh is found within areas of ischemic stroke, and an inhibition of Smo has been shown to prevent natural recovery, while eliminating Shh has been shown to reduce the number of regionally produced Olig2+ cells during the post-ischemia recuperation process [11, 31–33]. These studies and many others show the reparative abilities of Shh within the glio-vascular unit, but recent studies have suggested that HIV is capable of disrupting the production of Shh preventing its continued maintenance and repair of the BBB . Despite the presence of Shh in the brain of SIV-infected macaques, the loss of netrin-1 within SIVE lesions suggests that a downstream disruption of the Shh pathway may play a role in BBB breakdown. Evidence suggests that the loss of netrin-1 is likely due to the loss of its host cell, the pericyte, which become hypertrophied in association with HIV/SIV infection of the brain, and is absent in encephalitic lesions.
Pericyte dysfunction is not unique to HIV/SIV infection. Previous studies suggest that pericyte dysfunction may play a key role in diseases like AD, cancer, seizure disorders, and even natural aging. Pericytes have been a key target in AD research due to their ability to traffic amyloid beta deposits in the brain back into the bloodstream for removal by other organs, making their dysfunction likely to result in AD-like brain pathology [34–39]. Recently, high numbers of cells expressing NG2, a commonly used pericyte marker, have been seen within high-grade choroid plexus tumors suggesting a potential role for pericytes in cancer . Pericytes have also been suggested to be involved with the cerebrovascular rearrangement seen in seizure patients . Changes in pericytes during normal aging have been linked to localized hypoxia as well as BBB leakage and an increase in neurotoxicity within the brain . Studies with animal models of traumatic brain injury suggest that pericytes play a key role in the construction and repair of the brain's microvascular structures [43, 44]. Although studies investigating the effects of HIV/SIV on brain pericytes reported an overall decrease in pericyte coverage [45–47], we found that pericytes around many of the vessels in SIVE animals are becoming hypertrophied. This suggests that they may be undergoing functional changes or damage prior to being eliminated upon lesion formation. While no ART-treated animals were investigated in this study, Fig. 8 shows that both pericyte thickness and fibrinogen extravasation are positively correlated with the severity of SIVE suggesting that pericyte hypertrophy may continue to contribute to BBB disruption even in virally suppressed individuals.


I've never been outside Tokyo's metropolitan areas before, so I was thrilled when Evan from PacSet told me he was taking a group to Mt. Nokogiri. Located in Chiba Prefecture, it's the site of the vast Nihon-ji temple area, known for its two large Daibutsu (large Buddha) sculptures. While the temple was founded in 725, other aspects of it, such as the Daibutsu and the Arhat have been created over the years.
The town the mountain is situated in lies across Tokyo Bay from Tokyo proper, so it can be accessed a number of ways, including a ride down to Hamakanaya Station. Or, you can do what we did, which was to take a train to Keikyū Kurihama Station via the Keikyū Kurihama Limited Express train, enjoy a pleasant bus ride down to the port, and hop a ferry across the bay. Fun note for history buffs, Kurihame is the site where Commodore Matthew Perry first set foot in Japan, opening the country to Western trade. The location is commemorated by Perry Park, which also has a monument to the landing, a small museum with historical artifacts, and a model of Perry's ship.
The train ride to Kurihame is beautiful, too, for those interested in seeing life outside the sprawl.
The ferry trip from Kurihame to Kanaya isn't bad, either, and affords beautiful views of the bay. On clear days, you can supposedly see Mt. Fuji, but it was too cloudy when we went.
The inside of the massive ferry. This is the kind of ferry that can take cars on it. It's like a floating hotel lobby, complete with a couple of food shops.
At the ferry landing, visitors can check out The Fish, a complex that has a fish market, groceries, local gifts (including local craft beer(!) and character goods for Chiba's strange peanut-cat mascot, inspired by the crop Chiba is best known for), a baumkuchen bakery, and a restaurant that serves a killer sashimi boat with mind-blowing fresh prawn.
One-way tickets for the ropeway cost 450 yen, while round trip tickets cost 830 yen. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how you get down aside from the ropeway, but I assume there's a road. Once you get to the top, there's a small cafe and gift shop which sells souvenirs (ropeway car-shaped cookie boxes, more peanut cats).
I want to take a quick tangent to point out to cat lovers that there are a few feral cats that roam the cafe area (I discovered later that they'll beg for odango, and probably anything else edible). They are insanely cute. As I was lurking around one of the cafe's observation decks, I overheard a small child deliver the most killer pun I'd ever heard: "Ahh! Nekogiri-yama!" Well played.
To see all of Mt. Nokogiri's sights, especially Nihon-ji temple, be prepared to walk. There is a lot of walking, most of it stairs. However, if you don't want to, or aren't able to, you can stay at the ropeway landing and still get some killer views of Tokyo Bay and Kyonan, Chiba. Again, on clear days, you can see Mt. Fuji.
The Hundred-shaku Kannon (Guanyin or Avalokitasvara, the Goddess of Mercy). 100-shaku converts to roughly 99 feet, which makes this an impressive sight to walk into.
Yakushi Nyorai, the buddha of healing.
Back at the cafe, you can buy odango that are covered in your choice of sauce and roasted over a flame. After climbing a ridiculous amount of stairs, it totally hits the spot. Bonus: cat friends.
While the trip does involve a lot of steps and a lengthy commute, it's absolutely worth it to take a day out of your schedule and make the voyage. We left Tokyo proper around 8:30 AM and made it back by 6:30 PM, so you'll still have plenty of time to grab dinner and see the sights. Plus, the trip involves a long stint on a commuter train, so if you're lucky, you might just make some friends. Our journey back ended on a high note, with one of the kids from a local boys' high school soccer team all too thrilled to chat with us about soccer, Carly Rae Jepsen, Japanese model Rola (whose Sailor Moon video had our train car singing the Sailor Moon theme song), and teach the Canadians in the group the meaning of oppai. And that's part of what makes travel so fun.
You've already seen my Day 5 coverage, the two-part Anime Japan gallery, so the next update will be Day 6, my last full day in Tokyo (sad face).


Nobody's favorite series, but I'm an absolute sucker for B & C-Level teams. Unfortunately, the tail end of the series got sucked up into The Crossing, a uh, truly classic Marvel crossover, but for this map, it's kept to a minimum. There are a few artist rotations throughout, but at least Abnett & Lanning stay on for the whole run.
You could always just start with FW #1, but that last issue of AWC is also written by Abnett & Lanning and does a good job of setting up FW.
The undersized Force Works Ashcan comic poses a bit of a problem, as 1) it's a good 1/4 smaller in size than a regular comic and 2) it's a mix of prequel and teaser for the upcoming series. The story in the ashcan actually takes place during FW #1, but you really can't slip it in there without throwing everything off. I plan on creating a pocket for the ashcan on the inside back cover I can slip it into, but I've seen it simply bound before FW #1.
FW #19->WM #22->FW #20 is one long story beat, so not including WM there would make for pretty choppy reading.
If you choose to include the "Brothers in Arms" backup story arc, you will need to get a hold of two copies of FW #12, as the last page of the main story and of the backup share the same page (due to it being a flip book).
Extras to include: Cover and interview from Marvel Age #132, and the Iron Man & Force Works Collectors Preview, which is actually pretty substantial.
The Scarlet Witch 4 issue mini while not crucial is also by Abnett & Lanning and could slip in the front or back of the book (events take place before AWC 102). You could also include the Scarlet Witch story from MCP 143-144 which isn't by A&L so I'm not including but these would go before the SW mini.
My book will also include the shorts from the back of Iron Man 307-310 and War Machine 8 as this shows Mandarin gathering his rings and leads into the Hands of the Mandarin storyline. These fit after MCP 170 and before Force Works 6. They are only a couple of pages each so they don't take up much room.
If you add the SW mini, you're definitely going to want to split this into 2 volumes. I would have added them if the book got thick enough to do so, but I was trying to keep it to one volume. For a 2-volumer, I would also toss in the Spider-Woman and Hawkeye/USAgent stories from MCPs 159-161 & 166-168.


These aren't the only panheads Billdozer and I oggled at Dave Mann Chopperfest, but they are the ones we managed to shoot between manhugs at the last major event of the 2011 chopper social season. Between now and early January we'll share Brit bikes, knuckleheads, shovelheads and Evo's from DMCF with CC readers. For now, let's get things started with my personal favorite old H-D.
Shooting DMCF is tough for ll the reasons addressed in previous feature comments. The selection was a little thin this year. Tons of pans in the CC photo dump to stare at if that's your passion.
That green pan with the Harmon front end is the buisness.
4-8-12 rulers...I got hit in the head with a pan once...it doesn't show does it?
Yeah the one with the harmon frontend is something special. Is that a rigid frontend on that blue pan or am I missing something?
what type of disc brake setup is on the second one?
"Manhugs" and "chopper social season".
#9 Paul Wheeler's .......old school and awesome!!
This show is definitely on the bucket list. SO many great bikes in one place.

(Courtesy of University Relations)
By Muleskinner Staff
(WARRENSBURG, Mo.) – The a cappella group Tonic Sōl-Fa takes to the Hendricks Hall stage for the University of Central Missouri's Performing Arts Series Holiday Concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29.
As a special added feature for the holiday concert, the Warrensburg High School Chorus will join Tonic Sōl-Fa on stage for a special holiday performance.
Tonic Sōl-Fa has been featured on NBC's "Today" show and in "Newsweek" magazine. The group brings "boy next door" personalities and a "hip mixture of Tony Bennett and Reality Bites" to the stage in each of their performances before sold-out crowds, according to a news release.
A member of the Midwest Music Hall of Fame, Tonic Sōl-Fa offers a mixture of pop hits and country, original works and classic oldies, comedy parodies and cartoons in their varied repertoire. For their UCM holiday performance, the group will lend their unique style and talent to traditional holiday favorites.
Tonic Sōl-Fa began at St. John's University with Mark McGowan, who sings baritone, and lead vocalist Shaun Johnson. Tenor Greg Bannwarth, and bass Jared Dove, joined soon after, completing the quartet.
Along the way, they shared the stage with a number of recognizable performers, including Jay Leno, Jeff Foxworthy and Lonestar. They were recently part of Garrison Keillor's 30th Anniversary celebration of the "A Prairie Home Companion" radio show.
At present, Tonic Sōl-Fa is touring in support of their 10th album, "March of the Kings," a new recording in a catalog of numerous award-winning DVD and CD projects.
Tickets for the Tonic Sōl-Fa Holiday Concert are available through the PAS box office in Administration 100 by calling 660-543-8888, or online at ucmpas.com. The Tonic Sōl-Fa Holiday Concert is sponsored by KMOS-TV.

Metal Monolith #3 Appears in California – Is It Aliens Yet?
Paul Seaburn December 4, 2020
The Year of the Monolith continues with the discovery of another standing metallic triangle on the top of a mountain in California. This follows the appearance and quick disappearances of similar monoliths in Utah and Romania. Is it time to blame aliens? And let's not forget the Germans, who have their own 2020 monolith-palooza with structures in the shape of giant phalluses – anatomically correct, not just long, tall erections. 2020, what did we do to deserve this?
"I was hiking Stadium Park this morning, which I do about once a week, and as I was walking up the trail I was surprised to see something shiny at the top of the hill. When I got to the top, it was a triangular prism and it looked to be about 10-feet tall and it was metal."
Paso Robles resident Ronelle Volk told the Paso Dobles Daily News about her close encounter of the monolith kind on December 2 on the top of a Santa Lucia Mountain range peak in nearby Atascadero in San Luis Obispo county. (Photos here and here.) Another hiker told her the monolith wasn't there the previous day, and Volk and other hikers took numerous pictures and posted them on the Internet, as did reporter Connor Allen of the Atascadero News. The three-sided, 10-foot obelisk appears to be made of stainless steel and 18 inches wide.
No, that's not a monolith. Keep looking.
"I guess this is a thing now. Be prepared to see these everywhere."
Another hiker, Gary Lyons, posted a video of the California monolith and speculated that this is a trending "thing." According to the City of Atascadero, this monolith weighs hundreds of pounds and is not attached to the ground, making it subject to toppling. That would also make it easy to install and remove, although spokespersons for the Atascadero Land Preservation Society which oversees the property at Pine Mountain say they have no information on how it got there.
I'm not saying it's aliens … but could this one finally be aliens? The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFROC) has reports of more than 100 UFO sightings in the past 20 years in San Luis Obispo county of all sizes, shapes, colors and encounters, with 21 in Paso Robles alone. It's probably not an alien monolith – it appears to be manmade — but that's enough to make one wonder. It's also the third mysterious monolith to appear in less than two weeks, so it's worth investigating of this is some sort of marketing or movie promotion stunt, which is more likely than an Internet challenge since these things are so big and heavy. Regardless, we should "Be prepared to see these everywhere."
Meanwhile, in Germany …
Monoliths of a different kind are appearing, disappearing and appearing again on the 1,738-meter (5,702-foot) high Grünten mountain southwest of Munich. It began about five years ago when a 2 meter (6.5 foot), 200 kg (440 pound) wooden phallus mysteriously appeared. It quickly became a beloved local landmark visited by hikers and tourists … when it fell over a few weeks ago, it was quickly re-erected (insert your own erectile disfunction joke here). Unfortunately, last week it was mysteriously chopped down and hauled off. Before police could find the penile pilferer, a new wooden phallus appeared in the same spot – larger and with a couple of added features (use your imagination or view it here).
Metal monoliths. Wooden phalluses. Will these continue or does 2020 have more surprises up its weird sleeves?

Supergirl – Season 5 Episode 4
Oct 28, 2019 | Posted by Craig McKenzie in TV
Supergirl says goodbye to a major character as J'Onn continues to deal with the threat of his brother and Kara learns more about William.
It was announced a while ago that Mehcad Brooks would be leaving the series in order to pursue his own projects that he needs additional time for. It's no secret that the James character was badly sidelined throughout much of the run of the show so it was somewhat inevitable that he might be pushed out of the ensemble eventually. Once the love interest angle was ditched at the beginning of season 2 there seemed to be very little for the character to do that made much sense for him.
James learns an important lesson about privilege
James' exit is about him finding a way to make a difference to the lives of others in a way that differs significantly to how he has chosen to do so before. He and Kelly chose to hide out in Calvintown; the place they were both raised by their aunt when their father died. Why they would choose to hide out in a place so connected to their childhood is anyone's guess as it seems to me to be a profoundly dumb idea but the decision is not about making sense, it's about setting James up to make the decision that marks his departure.
On the surface very little about this plot makes any real sense. James and Kelly arrive in Calvintown to find it consumed by poverty and almost completely in service of a prison in its centre that symbolises corruption and exploitation. For whatever reason their aunt being nowhere to be seen isn't addressed which definitely sticks out as the reason for going back to Calvintown seems to be seeing their aunt. In general the setup doesn't work because it doesn't make sense that neither of them would have any idea of how run down Calvintown had become since they left it. Perhaps if there had been a line of dialogue highlighting they had no idea it had become THIS bad it would have helped but as it sits all of this appears to have come from nowhere.
Much of the episode features James and Kelly exploring the town to see different examples of the economic ruin. This includes squatters sleeping in their aunts house, convenience store robberies and a jaded journalist who has been defeated by the town. More on that last one later. On their travels they befriend a young man named Simon (Jalen Thomas Brooks) who embodies everything this town has become through his desperation leading him to commit petty crimes. It's clear that Simon is a good kid who has been forced to make questionable decisions in order to survive and that James sees a lot of himself in him for reasons that the episode doesn't quite go into. One striking thing is that Simon remains the same throughout the episode; he is caught stealing from a convenience store and is seen pocketing food while Kelly heats up a pizza. This consistency shows that one simple act of kindness from a couple of well intentioned strangers isn't enough to fix the problems he has because they are systemic and can't be solved quite so easily. He also mentions his mother being in jail for no good reason other than cops, judges and lawyers seeking to keep the prison full in an effort to line their pockets.
J'Onn hears exactly what he doesn't want to hear
This brings me to James' conversation with his former mentor, Nelson Stuart (Paul Jarrett) about the state of the town. Nelson is very much a product of his surroundings and is resigned to the limited good that he can do with the resources he has. He makes reference to having to please his advertisers so that they continue to do business with him which will allow him to pay his employees. Basically his hands are tied by a corrupt system and he's faced with having to make do with what he has. It's not that he doesn't want to do more but he lacks the resources James is used to in CatCo and the backup of heroes like Supergirl to help. In this case idealism simply isn't enough and it's something Nelson has had to learn to live with. He takes some comfort in knowing that James made it out of the town and made a name for himself which he sees as a personal success. This conversation is eye opening for James and it clearly informs his decision to leave National City.
When he announces that he's leaving he mentions saving the world from his corner office; this makes for a very compelling statement that shows self awareness on the part of James and the writers to a large extent. There's no denying that James is a good person with a strong desire to do good but he has always kept the problems that he helps deal with at a comfortable arm's length because he was unwilling to consider giving up the comfort and privilege that he enjoys. There's no reason he should consider making that level of sacrifice as he has worked hard to get where he is and has earned what he has. This is especially true considering he came from very humble beginnings and managed to find opportunities for himself. In short James is a remarkable success story that the show never really took advantage of but he comes to realise how far he has come in this episode and now decides that it's time to give something back. He decides to buy the newspaper in Calvintown and use that as a platform to make things better. This is a great example of how privilege can be used to make a measurable difference in the lives of others. James has a lot to give and the desire to give it so that provides hope for the people of Calvintown who can now look to James as a symbol of what they can achieve. It's a fitting exit and makes an inspiring point about heroism and what it takes in order to make a difference. It's somewhat disappointing that James spends so little of his final appearance interacting with the rest of the cast but perhaps that's telling of his overall significance to the show at this point.
The Malefic plot comes to a head in this episode in a few different ways. Last week brought the realisation that J'Onn was responsible for erasing all knowledge of Malefic from the collective Green Martian memory out of a desire to protect his father and himself from a painful truth. As the episode begins J'Onn has internalised this knowledge and has chosen not to confide in those closest to him which means he is being torn apart by the knowledge of what he has done and has no emotional support. His fear is that it will change how they see him and he will end up losing what he holds most dear. Malefic plays on this by incepting Alex and having her say the words he is most afraid of hearing. She calls him a monster and blames him for Kelly being in so much danger. I don't believe that Alex would call J'Onn a monster under any circumstances but that's not really her talking which means that the conversation is lacking in the necessary emotional weight. If Malefic had engineered a scenario whereby Alex learns the truth and she finds it hard to accept so confronts J'Onn it would have been so much better because it would have been Alex in conflict with J'Onn rather than Malefic using her as a puppet. It's easy to see why J'Onn would accept this because this is currently how he sees himself so he lacks the clarity to consider the situation rationally and doesn't have any additional perspectives because he keeps it all to himself.
James says goodbye
As a stark contrast to his conversation with incepted Alex, Kara is much more sympathetic and understanding without excusing what J'Onn did. She doesn't tell him that what he did was ok or necessary but she does tell him that one action doesn't define who he is and that remembering what he did now gives him the chance to make things right as he has the power to make different choices now that he has the benefit of hindsight. Kara's reaction is much more in line with what would be expected given the amount of time that has been spent developing these relationships and gives J'Onn the necessary perspective to move on in some way even if he will forever carry this guilt with him. It's a great message about the importance of accountability and that mistakes don't define who people are. Basically J'Onn has to hold himself accountable for what he has done in order to try to atone for it in whatever way he can.
It seems at this point that Malefic is so consumed by vengeance that he is unable to consider the possibility of forgiving J'Onn so anything said to him by way of apology falls on deaf ears. This means that team Supergirl have to go through with their plan of banishing him to the Phantom Zone because he is too dangerous to be allowed to roam free considering his efforts to destroy J'Onn and those closest to him. Lena exploits her position when helping Brainy to redirect Malefic from the Phantom Zone to her own prison for reasons that are unknown at this point though it probably has a lot to do with suppressing the emotions she considers negative. Perhaps this will help open Malefic up to seeing J'Onn's point of view and allow the brothers to establish a dialogue in future or it could lead to Malefic becoming more dangerous. It's very much up in the air and there's still no hint of why The Monitor brought Malefic into the picture. In general part of the problem with this plot is how it came out of nowhere and how quickly it has been developed. It's difficult to become fully invested in it despite the strength of David Harewood's acting because it's a relationship that has existed for a small number of episodes. If there was a slow burn development over a longer period of time then everything that happens would have greater emotional weight.
Lena's contribution to the episode is minor but there is time to take advantage of the engaging dynamic that was created between her and Brainy who is distraught over the situation with Nia. He's still struggling with how to behave around her because his intense personality has proven too much for her but he doesn't know any other way to act so feels that their relationship is doomed as a result. Lena is there to apply the scientific method to his circular thought process and opens him up to the prospect of asking for help which allows him to be open with Nia and letting her help him work through these teething problems together. It's a good use of the Lena/Brainy dynamic while allowing Lena's duplicitous plot to progress in a small way.
Kara and Nia work together to investigate William and learn that he's not actually married and appears to be involved in clandestine actions that paint him in a very villainous light. They continue to follow the clues using a mixture of their powers, skills and contacts until Kara eventually learns that William has only been pretending to be standoffish in order to maintain his cover and prevent people from wanting to get close to him. In reality he's a nice guy who respects Kara a great deal and holds her writing skills in high regard. He tries to encourage her to stay away from the story he is a part of for her own safety and talks about how he thinks Andrea Rojas is involved in a massive criminal conspiracy. This was a decent enough reveal and adds depth to a character I found to be shallow and irritating before now but some of the dialogue was painful to listen to. Supergirl has been a victim of showing rather than telling when it comes to Kara's skills as a journalist so it's always laughable whenever someone compliments her on it since we haven't actually seen much evidence of her being any good at her job beyond certain accolades that are given to her after the fact. It's possible that William is being developed as a love interest for her which could be good or bad depending what the "real" him turns out to be like in the context of the show. It's highly likely that he's a part of the Leviathan plot as that matches with the idea of a conspiracy but time will tell if this builds to anything interesting.
The truth about William
A strong episode that delivers an appropriate exit for one of the characters while offering a fascinating exploration of what it takes to atone for mistakes. James' exit felt right for the character and provided a compelling message about how privilege can be used to help others. It is best exemplified through James' interaction with his former mentor who talks about doing the best he can with limited resources and highlighting that idealism isn't enough on its own. James talks about saving the world from his corner office which makes for a hugely self aware statement about keeping problems at arm's length and being unwilling to give up the comfort that comes with privilege. It's not a bad thing especially when considering that James has earned everything he has. He has now chosen to use what he has to improve the lives of others. It's a really nuanced portrayal of this idea and feels appropriate for James. The Malefic story comes to a head in various ways after J'Onn keeps what he learned about what he did to himself. He is confronted by the Incepted Alex who says everything he was most afraid of hearing which both works and doesn't because it isn't really what Alex thinks even if J'Onn believes it. If she had learned the truth from Malefic and had a similar conversation with J'Onn it would have been much better but loses weight because it isn't really Alex. Kara's reaction is much more interesting as she doesn't excuse what he did and encourages him to do better in future now that he knows about it. It's a strong statement about accountability and how best to move forward. Malefic is too consumed by vengeance to listen to what J'Onn has to say and see a way to forgive him but perhaps that can come later.
The Lena/Brainy dynamic is used to great effect when Lena appeals to Brainy using the scientific method to consider alternative options when it comes to dealing with Nia. Specifically she encourages him to ask for help to get him out of his circular thinking and opens his mind to a different possibility that fixes the relationship for now. The Lena/Brainy dynamic has always been engaging and this is another great example of it. Kara and Nia's investigation of William allows the character to become more nuanced as a result. It turns out that his confrontational attitude has been an act to prevent people from wanting to get to know him because his current assignment is so dangerous. He doesn't want to see anyone get hurt and warns Kara to stay away from the dangerous path he's pursuing. During this conversation he praises Kara's abilities as a journalist and preaches admiration for the way she does things. It's always amusing whenever Kara's journalism is praised because we still have little to no context for how good she actually is at the job but at least this puts William in a better position to develop as a character rather than a bland antagonist.

Q: Loopback passport login I want to use Loopback passport to login to my app via a third party. However, rather than having anyone successfully authenticating with the third party, I want to be able to only allow those accounts with an email already configured as a user access (i.e. I want to whitelist people from this provider).
Is this possible? Almost all the examples I have seen with Loopback passport and OAuth and similar strategies more generally seem to assume that I am happy to have every Google / Facebook user access my application, whereas that is not my case.

A: The loopback-example-passport repository extends a few base models (User, AccessToken, UserIdentity and UserCredential).
You can create a new file /common/models/user-identity.js, which can listen for when new identities are created. In there try something like this:
module.exports = function(userIdentity) {
  userIdentity.observe('before save', function(context, next) {
    if (context.instance) {
      console.log(context.instance.profile._json);
    }
  }
}

Within context.instance.profile._json, you can observe the details of the newly created user, modify their details or remove it if needed.

A: I have dived into third-party auth few weeks ago and realized that existing documentation and loopback-example-passport is not enough to read in my case. For example, existing loopback-component-passport is unable to work with custom User models.
I think you can perform operation hook on your UserIdentity model and compare email from UserIdentity.profile.emails array and User model emails with find() and filter.

Recently homeowners in Austin TX contacted us to build a unique and stunning pergola which encompasses all the spirit of Texas' unique scenery by overlooking the river in Town Lake. The homeowners knew they wanted a two-sided pergola because when the house was originally purchased they had scaled models assembled depicting the projects they wished to do.
The home has a fantastic view overlooking the river and gets plenty of wind and lots of sunshine. The existing deck is 22 feet off the ground and on a third story, this combined with the steep driveway of the home presented some difficult logistics in constructing the angled pergola which was designed to become part of the 3rd story decks integration. The addition of the pergola will help these homeowners utilize the deck properly and add shade to the upstairs deck as well as the windows of the home.
The challenge for Archadeck of Austin was to get the materials for the pergola up to the 3rd story. We had to haul materials up to the third story using the homes internal winding staircase.
The pergola itself is constructed of beautiful western red cedar which compliments the traditional Mexican clay tile roof. we extended the joists a little further so the pergola would have a cantilever effect. The lathing on the pergola spans about 1.5″ apart as to provide shade within the pergola. The design of this pergola is unique and innovative.
Pergolas have become very popular recently. A simple flip through of any home magazine while in the grocery store checkout line will prove this. Pergolas, although they seem simple, can be very complex to build. If not constructed correctly and with sustainable materials, will wither and decay very quickly. Archadeck of Austin uses top quality materials to construct their pergolas and their designs can be tailor-made to suit your needs. We can space the lathing as such that you can use your pergola to add shade to a sunny spot. we can also add decorative elements to your pergola that you just can't get unless you have a custom builder to construct it.

A bad day at the office? Making redundancies. Discover how Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, one of the world's leading architects, navigated the redundancy process in this new multimedia case study.
In this edition we are pleased to present, Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners (RSHP), a multimedia case study which can be used in both the areas of Human Resources and Organizational Behaviour.
The case describes the story of the redundancy process carried out by the architectural studio, at the beginning of 2009. It focuses on how this important studio, which was well-known for having a closely knit, employee-orientated culture, managed the complicated redundancy process. After understanding the unique corporate culture at RSHP through videos with the company's founder and its directors, students adopt the role of consultants and need to advise the studio on how to carry out this complicated process. They will be asked to address such issues as: How to make the cut, proportionally across all departments or limit them to a particular area? What factors to consider for deciding which employees should be made redundant? And, how to deal with the communication of the process? All of these issues are addressed under the framework of the UK employment law.
A professor's page allows for an in-depth analysis of the students' decisions and encourages greater discussion about the subject in the class session. This page includes a full breakdown of all the students' decisions and their justifications, a timeline of the full procedure and the actions of the company at each stage, and full interview reaction to the process from employees. These interviews pose such questions as: Was the process fair? What was your perception of the morale in the office? And has the company moved on from this experience?
All in all, this case study provides a unique insight into what is probably the most dreaded situation managers have to deal with in the workplace.

I'll pretend it doesn't hurt.
I'll pretend that I don't need to cry, to let the tears take away every last memory. To have them drain all the good times from me so I don't have to remember you.
I'll pretend that I don't care because you're not worth me caring. You're not worth a single tear. You're not even worth the energy to shout my anger at you.
And I'll pretend and keep pretending, when all the while the truth is that I do care.
I don't want to remember how we were. What I thought you were. Now you're just another disappointment on the list. Just another check mark. You're just another reason to never trust anyone again.
And all I want now is to tell you about my disappointment. All I want is some type of explanation. And my friends tell me I'll never get it. Never get that closure. I know they're right because usually I'm the one telling them what they don't want to hear.
So now I have to swallow my own medicine. But damn, it's a lot harder to swallow than I thought.


EA has just released the FIFA 17 ratings featuring the top 20 players in the Premier League. Revealed at number 20 is Liverpool's Coutinho, which means that for the first time Wayne Rooney is getting a downgrade in FIFA 17 and he is going to be rated 85 or lower.
This is going to be a shock to many Manchester United fans looking for official FIFA 17 player ratings. Does Rooney deserve a downgrade from EA since he was 86 in FIFA 16?
His rating hasn't been confirmed, but we have a feeling that he will be rated 85 or even 84 when we finally get image proof. Meanwhile, some of the other confirmed Man Utd FIFA 17 ratings include Rashford with a 76, Martial 82, Pogba 88, De Gea 90 and Ibrahimovic who will be a 90 and the highest player in the Premier League.
We are still waiting for official ratings for the likes of Mkhitaryan, Memphis Depay, Lingard, Smalling and Juan Mata – there has been plenty of leaks showing ratings for these players but none of them official just yet.
We should also point out that the rumors of Mkhitaryan having an 87 rating in FIFA 17 are fake, as he didn't feature on EA's official list here – which means that he is going to be 85 or lower.
We'll bring you the rest of the ratings soon when we have credible information. In the meantime, tell us below if you think the downgrade is justified for Wayne Rooney or not – what rating should he be?
Wayne Rooney should have been rated 86 but that's not the case now.Below 85 should be very unfair.He has started this season well.

Ronnie Jenkins grew up in the village of Clear Creek, a company town on Clearfield Creek just south of Flinton.
He has recently released 2 books. One of them, "The Flynn City Egg Man", is an exciting and well drawn story about teen-agers growing up in Flinton in the 1960's. He has written the following about life then along Clearfield Creek. See more at Ronnie's website.
Seasons In Time on Clearfield Creek
By Ronnie Ray Jenkins
It is known as the Clearfield Creek, with headwaters starting in Asheville, and rolls past places known as Dean, Dysart, Van Ormer, Fallentimber, and a town long gone, called Clear Creek. Fourteen company houses each with four rooms, lacking running water, lined both sides of Route 53, north of Coalport, and was home for seventy-four people in this town. Today, Clear Creek is gone leaving only memories swishing like the breezes through the dried goldenrods standing guard over a town no more. The town is long dead. The creek still lives with great reflection on the minds of those it touched.
In spring, with the melting snow, we watched its muddy waters rise, and the birth of wildflowers along the path leading to the creek. We would be the first to watch the buds of pussy willows, and black willow pop into view to welcome warmth. The tops of elderberries swayed when the water reached the banks of the creek, and we dreamed of when they would ripen.
The announcement of summer came with the umbrellas of mayflowers opening their heads above the sandy loam of the creek's floodplain, and the sweet trill of red-winged blackbirds summoning the children of Clear Creek to their playground.
When fall came, the waters turned cold, and the brown leaves of beech, and oaks twirled lazily past us as if dancing away on the late summer sun's sparkling light.
The creek was a friend, who never told our secrets, whose riffles sang sweet lullabies to us at night. We never thanked it for its entertainment in winters when we could walk across its thick frozen ice, or ice skate upon it.
In the late 1960's and early 70's, the creek was a place of adventure, and learning. It was a Huck Finn's paradise where we spent our days, swimming, building rafts, and watching with wide-eyes as herons hid in branches of oaks, and squirrels chattered out warnings about our trespassing. There was something missing in the old creek though, and it whispered that silence with the lack of rising fish, crayfish, caddis fly larvae, and even the green moss common along most shores in this part of the country.
The creek became the innocent victim of coal mining. The landscape of Clear Creek is dotted with long forgotten coalmines; in some places ventilation shafts still can be found. On both sides of the creek, the ground was gutted after being stripped, and the entrails sought were coal. It left our creek as orange as Nehi soda pop because of acid mine drainage, and we never said, sorry. We watched our friend in the throes of death, and did little to save it.
