An Employee Cannot Be Fired For Refusing to Perform an Illegal Activity in the Workplace
Unfortunately, our firm frequently receives calls from potential clients telling us that they have been fired for refusing to take part in an illegal and unethical activity. Under California and Federal law, it is unlawful for an employer to take adverse action against an employee, whether it be demotion, deduction in pay, or termination, for refusing to participate in a violation of law. If your employer has retaliated against you for refusing to take part in violating the law, contact a whistleblower lawyer immediately.
Zulfer v. Playboy Enterprises Inc.
Here is a classic whistleblower case to come out of the 2014 federal court docket. Plaintiff had been working as an executive in Playboy's accounting department for roughly thirty years. During her employment, the CFO asked plaintiff to accrue over $1 million dollars in executive bonuses on the company ledger. However, she refused to do so without Board approval as it would violate federal law, specifically a law under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Again, the CFO asked the plaintiff to do this, but she refused again. Several months later, Playboy eliminated plaintiff's position. She continued to work for Playboy though in another position, but was eventually terminated soon after her position was eliminated.
Playboy argued that plaintiff's termination was not based on her refusing to take part in what she alleged as a violation of law. Rather, Playboy contended that the decision to terminate plaintiff was based on valid business reasons. The jury was not convinced by defendant's arguments, and unanimously found in favor of the plaintiff. Jury awarded a gross verdict of $6 million to plaintiff finding that Playboy retaliated against the plaintiff for refusing to take part in the violation of Sarbanes Oxley.
Contact a Whistleblower Attorney if You Have Been Retaliated Against
Zulfer v. Playboy is a classic example of what an employer should not if an employee refuses to take part in an illegal activity. What Playboy did here was unlawful. It is illegal for an employer to terminate an employee for refusing to take part in a violation of law. If you feel that your employer has taken adverse action against you, whether it be a deduction in pay, demotion, or termination, for refusing to violate the law, then contact an whistleblower lawyer immediately.

Employment Lawyer For Wrongful Termination
It always amazes us the things employers tell their employees. For example, we always get calls from employees who say their boss told them that they can fire them for any reason at any time because they are an at-will employee. This is not entirely true. In California, an employer can terminate an employee for any reason unless that reason violates public policy. Under California law, the public policy position supersedes over the at-will employment doctrine. You are probably wondering, "What is this public policy thing?" Basically, a wrongful termination in violation of a public policy occurs if an employer terminates an employee due to gender, race, national origin, family or medical leave, political activity, or for reporting unsafe working conditions. This is not an exhaustive list, but just some examples of wrongful termination in violation of public policy.
An Employer Cannot Fire An Employee For Reporting Unsafe Working Conditions
In Webb v. Ramos Oil Company, plaintiff was a truck driver who transported fuel for defendant employer. Plaintiff had been an employee for defendant for thirteen years. One day, while plaintiff was transporting fuel, the area in which he was driving was experiencing severe storm and heavy wind, as well as flooding from heavy rain. During his route, plaintiff's truck would rock back and forth and almost tip over. In addition, plaintiff witnessed other cars strugging on the road, downed power lines, and flying debris. While on route, he called his employer and asked if he could postpone his delivery due to the dangerous driving conditions but his employer refused. When he was finally done with his route, he decided to join some friends for a drink. A few hours a later, he was called back to work, but said no because he had drank a few alcoholic beverages and because it was still way to dangerous to drive a truck transporting fuel. Plaintiff was fired a couple days later. Luckily, Plaintiff retained an employment lawyer.
The Defendant argued that Plaintiff basically made all of this up so he would not have to perform his job duties that day. Clearly, the jury did not buy this defense and awarded Plaintiff over $6 million dollars in economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.
Call A Lawyer If You Have Been Wrongfully Terminated
At the end of the day, this case shows that employers are still being held accountable for breaking the law and violating an employee's rights. People in California are fired everyday, and most of the time, the person has no idea whether what just happened was lawful. If you feel like your termination was wrongful or there was something not quite right about it, thus it cannot hurt to call an employment lawyer. Most employment lawyers do a free consultation, and some will even tell you whether or not they think you have a case. Call an employment lawyer immediately if you feel you have been wrongfully terminated!

Retaliation & Wrongful Termination in the Aerospace Industry
Many employees are retaliated against in the workplace. But not all retaliation or terminations are illegal. This article discussed the case of Green v. Ralee Engineering Company. This case analyzes whether a company may fire an employee who complains about the failure to follow quality inspection protocols. In this case, the company manufactured airplane parts that were critical in keeping the plane safe.
Facts of the Wrongful Termination Case
In the mid 1990's Ralee Engineering Company was sued by a former employee, Richard Green. While employed, Mr. Green was a Quality Assurance Inspector. His duties were to inspect Ralee's manufactured fuselage and wing components for military and civilian aircraft. Ralee supplied those parts to major airline assembly companies such as Boeing and to major war plane assembly companies such as Northrop.
Beginning in 1990, Mr. Green allegedly noticed that Ralee was shipping some airplane parts even though, according to him, they failed the inspections his team performed. On several occasions over the next two years, Mr. Green objected to Ralee's practice to supervisory and management personnel and to the company president. He made all of his complaints internally, and at no time did he complain to outside government sources.
Despite his complaints, Ralee continued to ship allegedly defective parts to Boeing. In an effort to provide proof of the ongoing practice, plaintiff began photocopying the inspection reports, including some reports concerning parts destined for Boeing. In March 1991, Ralee shut down its night shift, citing a downturn in orders for the parts it produced. Ralee then fired Mr. Green along with other night shift employees.
Mr. Green filed a timely wrongful termination lawsuit against defendant. His attorney alleged Ralee terminated him in retaliation for his complaints about its inspection practices. His lawyer also argued that his complaints served a broad public policy favoring aviation safety, entitling him to tort damages even though he was an at-will employee.

Wrongful Termination in Violation of Public Policy – California Law
Getting fired sucks. Despite the agony most people feel after being terminated, chances are the dismissal was completely legal. After all, California is an at-will state. But what if your gut tells you that your firing was illegal? Should you contact an attorney? Keep reading and I'll let you know what constitutes wrongful termination in California.
Most employees in California are classified as "at-will" employees. At-will employment is a legal doctrine where either party can immediately terminate the employment relationship at any time with or without any advance warning, and with no subsequent liability, provided there was no express contract for a definite term. Employers often believe that they can fire an at-will employee at any time for any reason. This is false in California. A company can fire an employee for any reason except for a reason that violates public policy.
What Violates Public Policy?
This public policy position in California overrides the at-will employment principle. Although employment contracts are generally terminable at will (See California Labor Code § 2922), California courts recognize a narrow exception to this rule. An employer's blanket authority to discharge an at-will employee may be limited by statute or by considerations of public policy. Tameny v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (1980) 27 C3d 167. While an at-will employee may be terminated for no reason, or for an arbitrary or irrational reason, there can be no right to terminate for an unlawful reason or a purpose that contravenes fundamental public policy.
But this begs the question, what does "public policy" mean? California courts have been interpreting this ever since the Tameny decision came down. If you believe your boss has fired, discharged, or laid you off for any of the below reasons, contact an employment lawyer as soon as possible:
Gender discrimination – Pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, and other forms of gender discrimination are clear violations of public policy
Unsafe workplace – Firing an employee for protesting unsafe working conditions violates public policy
Political activity – Discharging an employee because of his political activity, particularly political speech, is a violation of fundamental public policy
Race, color, national origin, or ethnic origin discrimination – Terminating an employee because he is black, brown, asian, or some other qualifying characteristic is against public policy
Family or medical leave discrimination – Terminating an employee because he or she took family or medical leave violates public policy
Prompt payment of earned wages – Failing to pay wages promptly is a violation of fundamental public policy
Whistle-blowing – Terminating employees for disclosing an employer's violation of state or federal regulations to a governmental agency violates public policy
Testifying at a hearing – Discharge based on an employee's taking time off (after reasonable notice to the employer) to appear in court as a witness violates public policy
There are many more reasons that qualify as wrongful discharge. Note that there is no "mean" public policy. Nor is there a public policy for jerk bosses, arrogant bosses, or critical bosses. That means than a boss can be mean, rude, and unbearable, but not violate public policy.
So how do you know if your boss' conduct violates one of these public policy principles? Call an experienced lawyer today. If you would like to know whether your boss has wrongfully terminated you, contact an attorney for a free consultation.

Q: Hourly Average of csv data of 15 minutes interval My data in csv files is 15 minutes average and I want to hourly Average. When I used below code, it is showing error. 'how' unrecognised argument.
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("sirifort_with_data.csv",parse_dates=['Time_Stamp'])
data.resample('H', how='mean')

A: Indeed, pandas.resample does not have a keyword argument named how. You only use that function to group your time-series data. After applying the function, you could apply another to apply operations on each sample/group. Since you want to calculate the average of each group, you can use .mean():
data.resample('H').mean()

A: import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("sirifort_with_data.csv")
df['Time_Stamp'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Time_Stamp'])
df = df.set_index('Time_Stamp').resample('H').mean()

After converting the Time_Stamp to pd.to_datetime, it worked fine.
Thanks for the help.

Jean-Paul Marthoz: Commercial interference in the European media
BY JEAN-PAUL MARTHOZ
Commercial pressures on the media? Anti-establishment critics have a ready-made answer: of course, journalists are hostage to the whims of corporate owners, advertisers and sponsors. Of course, they cannot independently cover issues which these powers consider "inconvenient". Actually such suspicion is widely shared: In France, according to the 2017 La Croix barometer on media credibility, 58% of public opinion consider that journalists "are not really able to resist pressures from financial interests".
The issue is not new. In 1944 when he founded the French "newspaper of record", Le Monde, Hubert Beuve-Méry fought to guarantee its independence from political parties but also from what he called "the wall of money". "Freedom of the press belongs to the one who owns one", New Yorker media critic A.J. Liebling famously said. However, "while media academics have long looked at the question of commercial pressure, ownership (…) in shaping coverage", writes Anya Schiffrin in a 2017 CIMA report on "captured media" press freedom groups' focus had been mostly on the governments' responsibilities and on criminal non-state actors.
In June 2016 Reporters Without Boarders made a splash with its report on oligarchs in the media. Proprietors' interventions may have indeed a very negative impact on journalism's proclaimed commitment to report the news without fear or favour. Pressures are particularly acute when the media are owned by conglomerates who dabble in other economic sectors. In France, for instance, a military aircraft manufacturer (Dassault), the luxury industry leader (LVMH), telecoms giants (SFR, Free), a powerful public works and telecoms company (Bouygues) directly own key media companies.
Ownership provides a powerful lever to influence media contents. Cases of direct intervention or of journalists' self-censorship are not exceptional, even if they are often difficult to prove. In France, Vincent Bolloré, owner, among others, of TV channel Canal+, has been regularly accused of using his powers to determine content. It led the French Senate's culture commission to invite him to a hearing in June 2016, but he firmly denied all allegations of censorship.
In other European countries, the landscape is much clearer. In Turkey, during the June 2013 Gezi Park events, major TV stations failed to report police repression live. They chose instead to broadcast animal documentaries, for which they were rewarded with the nickname of "penguin media". In fact, they turned into "proxy censors" for Erdogan's government who had the power to determine their economic fate by rewarding them -or not- with public works contracts or financial favors. The worst of the worst flourishes in some former communist eastern European countries where major media outlets have been snatched by oligarchs allied with political parties or even, allegedly, with criminal organisations.
Big companies may be ruthless. Advertising budgets can be cut when a media covers "inconvenient news". In November 2017, according to satirical weekly Le Canard enchainé, Bernard Arnault, the boss of LVMH (luxury products, owner of Le Parisien and Les Echos), canceled his advertising budget in Le Monde until the end of the year after his name appeared in the Paradise Papers global investigation, which named people who had offshore accounts in tax havens. LVMH denied it was cutting all advertising in the paper, adding that it was currently "reflecting on its advertisement policy in classical media".
The unraveling of the legacy media's business model has increased their vulnerability to outside pressures. Advertising money is shrinking, therefore increasing the temptation to dismantle what was presented as an impassable wall between "church and state". Differences between advertising and the news are also being diluted into ambiguous advertorials, sponsored content and "native advertising".
Such pressures however are not automatic. "Suffering pressures does not mean ceding to them", says Hervé Béroud, director general of leading all-news TV channel BFMTV. Due to the way journalism actually works, the freedom to report, even against the owners' interests, cannot be systematically crushed. In fact, as a former editor in chief of Belgian newspapers and magazines I was confronted with radically different forms of "advice" from my successive owners. While some were very protective of editorial independence others were blunter and ready to compromise with advertisers' "wishes". The existence of journalists' societies, co-owners of the so-called "ethical capital" of the paper, provided some protection, but much was left to individual wrestling between the editor and the proprietor.
At the end, this issue comes down to defining who "owns freedom of information". In 1993 the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe stated that "the owner of the right is the citizen, who also has the related right to demand that the information supplied by journalists be conveyed truthfully, in the case of news, and honestly, in the case of opinions, without outside interference by either the public authorities or the private sector". A far cry from A.J. Liebling's sentence…
Survey: How free is our press?
Are you a working journalist? Do you want to see better protections and freedoms for reporters?
This survey aims to take a snapshot of how financial pressures are affecting news reporting. The openMedia project will use this information to analyse how money shapes what gets reported – and what doesn't – and to advocate for better protections and freedoms for journalists who have important stories to tell.

Web applications , especially those based on interpreted programming languages , are quickly becoming more utilized and more commonplace than traditional client applications. Despite this growth, no open solution has yet fulfilled the need of a risk-reducing development framework that supports test-driven methodologies and tools designed to coordinate the resources responsible for the most effective development of web applications based on interpreted programming languages. This research paper presents a test-driven development framework consisting of openly available components that can be used by development teams writing web applications based on interpreted programming languages based on the methodologies and tools used by traditional software development teams using compiled programming languages.

DJI, which is the well-known brand for producing amazing quality Drones, and Gimbal, has now come up with a Pocket-sized 3 Axis Gimbal, the DJI Osmo Pocket.
It's just been a few days the tiny camera is launched, which has got a 12-megapixel camera with a 1/2.3-inch sensor which is similar to what it is on the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Air, the camera is capable of recording 4K videos at 60fps and can last for around 140 minutes on a single charge.
DJI has already got Gimbals for both mobile phones and DSLRs and it has also got a standalone Gimbal with an inbuilt camera, the DJ Osmo Pocket Gimbal camera is their tiny camera product which is just 4 inches tall and weighs around 116 grams. So, as the name suggests, it can fit into your pocket and you can take it anywhere you want.
The tiny pocket-sized gimbal has also got a 1-inch front-facing LCD screen which also qualifies it to become a vlogging camera, in fact, it has been tested and compared on YouTube with other vlogging cameras as well. Sadly there is no option to add an external microphone which is a crucial thing for vloggers.
Popular YouTuber Casey Neistat has also compared this new pocket-sized Gimbal with GoPro Hero 7 which is also an amazing built product with image stabilization.
However, the image stabilization on DJI Osmo Pocket is much better since it is hardware based optical image stabilization whereas the GoPro Hero 7 has got electronic image stabilization.
As per the comparisons made on YouTube, the optical image stabilization works better than low light where the GoPro Hero 7 performs poorly.
There are many other features the DJI Osmo Pocket such as Face tracking, Motion time-lapse, Smooth panning etc.
The device can also be paired with a smartphone as well so that you can control it using your mobile phone if you want to keep it somewhere and shoot yourself.
This $349 device has got everything which is required to shoot cinematic and smooth videos without actually having to spend thousands of dollars on combustion expensive cameras.
The product is available to purchase on Amazon you will find the link below this post.

DE State Police investigating fatal weekend motorcycle crashes
A pair of weekend motorcycle accidents have left two people dead.
On Friday, October 15, 2021, at approximately 7:26 a.m., a 2002 Jeep Cherokee SUV driven by a 52-year-old Georgetown woman was stopped at the stop sign on northbound Cool Spring Road at Stockley Road. A 2012 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Electro Glide motorcycle, operated by a 52-year-old Lewes area man, was traveling westbound on Stockley Road, approaching the intersection with Cool Spring Road. Westbound Stockley Road at this intersection is a throughway, and traffic is not required to stop. The driver of the Cherokee failed to remain stopped and proceeded through the intersection into the path of the Harley Davidson.
As a result, the motorcycle collided with the Cherokee's passenger side. The motorcycle came to rest within the intersection, and the Cherokee came to a controlled stop north of the intersection. The driver of the Cherokee was transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries, where she was treated and released.
The operator of the Harley Davidson was transported to an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Delaware State Police have identified the motorcyclist who died in the collision as Darin E. Frye, 52, of Lewes, Delaware.
The second fatal collision occurred around 3:21 p.m., Friday October 15, 2021, as a 2005 Honda Accord operated by 32-year-old Dover man was traveling westbound on Forrest Avenue (SR8) preparing to turn left onto Nault Road. A 2007 Suzuki GSX-R motorcycle operated by a 25-year-old Henderson, Maryland man was traveling eastbound on SR8 approaching Nault Road.
The Honda Accord began to make the left turn directly into the path of the motorcycle. In an attempt to avoid a collision, the motorcyclist applied the brakes and laid the motorcycle down on its side before both the rider and the motorcycle struck the right side of the car. The force of the impact caused the Accord to rotate clockwise, coming to a stop in the southbound lane of Nault Road.
The Suzuki motorcycle continued to slide in an easterly direction coming to rest near the double yellow centerline of Forrest Avenue. The 32-year-old driver of the Accord was properly restrained and was uninjured in the collision.
The 25-year-old motorcyclist was transported from the scene by EMS to Bayhealth Kent General where he was pronounced dead.
Delaware State Police have identified the motorcyclist who died as Corey Mayes, 25, of Henderson, Maryland.
Both fatal crashes remain under investigation.

Diane Kruger Goes Undercover in Official Trailer for 'The Operative'
"I just decided… I wasn't going to be afraid." Vertical Entertainment has debuted the official US trailer for the spy thriller The Operative, the latest from Israeli filmmaker Yuval Adler. This premiered at the Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, but hasn't played at any other festivals. In the film, Diane Kruger stars as a woman trained and recruited to work as an undercover spy for Israel's intelligence agency the Mossad. She is sent to work in Tehran, but ends up in a love affair with her target, making everything more complex than it should to be. The cast includes Martin Freeman as her handler, Cas Anvar as her target, along with Rotem Keinan, Yohanan Herson, and Kate Nichols. This seems like it should be a slick spy thriller, alas it's a film without much to say, that meanders most of the time and ends before there's any conclusion.
Here's the official trailer (+ French/US posters) for Yuval Adler's The Operative, direct from YouTube:
The Operative is a taut psychological thriller about a young Western woman (Diane Kruger) recruited by the Mossad to go undercover in Tehran, Iran where she becomes entangled in a complex triangle with her handler (Martin Freeman) and her subject (Cas Anvar). The Operative is written and directed by Israeli filmmaker Yuval Adler, his second feature film after making Bethlehem in 2013 previously, and one other short film. It's adapted from Yiftach R. Atir's book The English Teacher. Produced by Anne Carey, Jonathan Doweck, Viola Fügen, Eitan Mansuri, and Michael Weber. It premiered at the Berlin Film Festival this year. Vertical Ent. will release Adler's The Operative in select US theaters starting August 2nd coming up soon.

Georgian University hosted the public lecture organized by non governmental organization Internet Development Initiative – IDI. Vice President of ICANN Michael Yakushev spoke about the ICANN, its structure, legal framework of global Internet Governance and other interesting topics.
"ICANN is the The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. It is the nonprofit organization which is responsible for coordinating the maintenance and procedures of several databases related to the name spaces of the Internet, ensuring the network's stable and secure operation. We are doing a lot of effort in order to make the global Internet infrastructure, safe, stable and resilient. For us Georgia is an interesting region and we think about launching the engagement centers here. Georgia has a very good, friendly and well educated population which has a big potential for different Internet governance projects. I think that along with IDI we will be able to start up man interesting projects",-said Yakushev.
Among the attendants, were the students of different faculties including the informatics, Business and public administration. "Todays meeting was very interesting and useful. I've heard about the ICANN before , but after the lecture I found out more details. After the lecture we were given the possibility of asking the questions and getting the answers on the topics we were interested in. I hope we will have a chance to attend the meting like that in future as well. I would like to express my gratitude towards the organizers",-said the student of Georgian University.
Must be mentioned that Several months ago IDI, along with the Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (GFSIS) presented a training program titled – Investigating Domain Names and Internet Numbers, to public sector actors who have a role in investigating or mitigating cyber attacks, to 18 participants from multiple Georgia agencies including the Data Exchange Agency, Office of the Personal Data Protection, Prosecutor Office, Ministry of Internal Affairs, National Bank and Georgian National Communications Commission. Training course was held by Dave Piscitello, VP Security and ICT Coordination, ICANN.
Internet Development initiative plans to organize similar seminars in future as well. one of the main idea, is to rise awareness of the society regarding the informational security and the Cyber security.

Yes, we all realize that a huge fire ball in the sky can make things hot when it is focused on your part of the earth. So, our first tip for cooling upstairs rooms involves blocking out the sun's rays.
Particular attention should be paid to keeping out sunlight on the sides of the house that face the sun for extended periods of time.
Is there is enough sunlight coming in your windows to light a room? If so, then there is also enough sunlight to heat that room as well.
Some homes are equipped with shutters fixed to the outsides of the windows that can be closed to block out the sun. Shutters do their job well, but most homes do not have them unfortunately.
The next best thing is thick multi-layered curtains on the inside of the windows. The curtains need to be thick enough to make a room dark in order to keep it cool.
If the sun shines right through your existing curtains, then they are not doing much to keep out the afternoon heat.
Long thick curtains can be hung over your existing light weight curtains to keep out the heat on hot days. You can then efficiently control the temperature of a room by drawing the curtains at the right time of the day.
Long curtains are better because even a small patch of sunlight escaping under the curtain and hitting the floor can heat the inside of the room considerably.
Air conditioners are perhaps the most effective way to keep an upstairs room cool. Central air systems that cool the entire home are particularly effective because they keep heat from downstairs from rising upstairs.
Unfortunately we are not all blessed with central air conditioning and many of us do not want to pay the high cooling bills they create.
Many times, a room air conditioner in an upstairs room that you spend a lot of time in will do a good job.
One of the most important tips for room air conditioners is to purchase one that is the right size for your room. If you get one that is too small to cool your room, it will run constantly during the summer and cost more money while being less effective.
A properly sized window unit air conditioner should keep a room cool without running all the time. Also check to be sure that the air is fairly cold coming out. If it is not, your air conditioner could need to be charged, cleaned or both.
You should check your air conditioner owner's manual to learn how to clean the filters yourself to keep the unit working properly.
If a room is extremely warm when you first turn the air conditioner on, you should open a window for the first several minutes to help the warm air escape the hot room. You should never run the air conditioner for more than about ten minutes with the window open. After ten minutes, you are just wasting energy.
Most of the attention to how well a window is sealed and leak free is paid in the cold months. But, a leaky window will cause your home to become excessively hot in the summer just as it can cause it to become cold in the winter. This is especially true if you are using an air conditioner.
Air conditioned rooms need to be sealed tight. An air conditioner works by expelling warm air from the room. If your windows are not sealed tight, the warm air will come right back in the room.
Even non-air-conditioned homes are affected by leaky windows in the summer. It is important to keep a room sealed tight during the hotter part of the day to keep out the heat.
Also, when the home becomes heated from the sun beating on it all day, it becomes necessary to open windows to allow the heat to escape.
An indoor-outdoor thermometer can be used to determine whether it is hotter inside or outside of the home. The sun also needs to be taken into account when deciding whether to open or close a window.
Sometimes it can be best to keep a window closed and curtains drawn, even if it is slightly cooler outside. This can be the case when the sun is shining on a particular window. It is often best to open windows on one side of a home while leaving the ones on the side with the sun shut.
Another important thing to consider when managing the windows in your home during the summer is cross breezes. A good cross breeze from a window on one side of a room to a window on the other side can keep a room much cooler than if you only have one window open.
Cross breezes need to be considered throughout the house, not just from room to room.
Often the best way to create a good cross breeze in a non-air-conditioned home is to use a large window fan in a downstairs window while keeping the upstairs windows open so that the air is drawn throughout the entire home.
It is important to remember to allow the air to flow through the house when using a window fan. Do not block the air from flowing from room to room by shutting doors. You need to keep most of the room to room doors open when creating a cross breeze through the entire house.
If you practice these techniques this summer, you will figure out a routine that works best for your home. Normally shutting the windows in the late morning and keeping them shut with curtains drawn throughout the hotter part of the day is best.
Then as evening approaches, you can open some windows and create a cross breeze to keep your house cool throughout the night.
The method you use to keep your upstairs rooms cool in the summer will depend on your individual home and climate. If you use these tips, you will be able to quickly figure out a daily routine for your home that helps keep those hot upstairs rooms bearable. You will also save money if you learn to use the right combination of opening and closing both windows and drapes while only running the air conditioning when absolutely necessary.
If you manage your home properly, you will find that you don't need to run the air conditioner all day long in the hot months. Good luck keeping your upstairs rooms cool this summer and keep those energy bills as low as possible with good home economics.

Queen's long time tour manager, and a friend of whole band Gerry Stickells passed away after losing his long struggle with illness.
Stickless, born in Lydd, England in 1942 an he was one of 10 children of the family. His whole music career changed as being a roadie with Jimi Hendrix. In 2000's, doctors found a benign tumor between his brain stem and carotid artery. Unfortunately, he lost his war against that illness yesterday.
Queen co founder and drummer Roger Taylor, shared an heartbreaking photos of Gerry Stickells, and pens an emotional letter about him.
Here is what Taylor wrote on his Instagram page:
"Gerry Stickells, the world's greatest tour manager passed away after a long struggle with illness.
He was more than a tour manager to Queen – he was a father figure, great friend and teacher and an island of calm in the midst of chaos. He had a profound affect on my life, all of it good.
From his early days with Jimi Hendrix through all the years with Queen and Paul McCartney, Gerry was THE MAN!
We will miss him greatly and send love to Sylvia and the family at this difficult time.
With great sadness,
– Roger."

Bubba Watson comes from six shots back to win the Travelers Championship for a third time
Entering the final round of the Travelers Championship, Bubba Watson was a bit of an afterthought, six strokes back of Paul Casey, who appeared like he may cruise to victory. But Watson has been in this position before—literally—when he came from six back for his first PGA Tour victory in this same tournament in 2010.
That's why Sunday at TPC River Highlands felt like deja vu, as Watson once again erased a six-shot deficit with a final-round seven-under 63 to beat Casey, J.B. Holmes, Stewart Cink and Beau Hossler by three shots. It's Watson's third victory this season, and his third at the Travelers, letting him join four-time winner Billy Casper as the only players to win the event three or more times.
"It's absolutely amazing," said Watson, who is now a 12-time tour winner. "I can't really put it into words. [The Travelers] is almost like a second home. The fans here, the sponsor here, everybody treats me so good. To do this in front of this huge crowd, pretty special. Hitting some of those shots, especially the shot on 18 downwind, it was very difficult. Somehow pulling it off, and that's what we all try to do on Sundays, pull off the amazing shot."
The shot to which Watson was referring came at the 72nd hole, where he piped a 365-yard tee shot, leaving him a tricky 77-yard approach into a tough right hole location. Watson wound up pulling off the shot of the tournament, sticking a wedge to tap-in range and making birdie to finish off a back-nine 30.
RELATED: The clubs Bubba Watson used to win the Travelers Championship
"It was funny. We were debating a 2-iron off the tee so that I could have a fuller shot [into the green], because we saw it was straight downwind," he said. "And Teddy [Scott, Watson's caddie], that's what he's telling me. He goes, 'That's the best shot you've ever hit.' And I had a couple texts, Aaron Baddeley texted me and said that's one of the best shots. People don't know how difficult that really is, downwind and trying to get it to stop and check. I sliced it, I did everything I could to get it to stop, and somehow it worked out."
The win makes Watson the first three-time winner on the PGA Tour this season, having won the Genesis Open at Riviera and at the WGC-Dell Match Play.
For Casey, who bogeyed two of his last three holes to shoot a two-over 72, it's the latest near miss for a top-ranked player who has had several chances to win on tour but has just two victories, one of them coming earlier this season at the Valspar Championship. But he continues to put together one of the best seasons of his career, one that has included four top-10s, 10 top 25s and more than $2.7 million in total earnings.
Cink, 45, matched Casey's low round of the week, firing an eight-under 62 to tie for second, giving him his best finish on tour since his victory at the 2009 Open Championship.

New Argentina coach Edgardo Bauza says he wants to 'have a chat' with Lionel Messi about his future in international football.
Messi announced that he is quitting the Argentina national team after they lost in the final of the Copa America against Chile for the second straight year.
It was Messi's fourth defeat in a final with his country, including a 1-0 reverse against Germany in the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil.
Bauza takes over the reins from Gerard Martino, who also resigned after the defeat against Chile, and plans to fly to Barcelona to speak to the five-time world player of the year.
Speaking to Fox Sports, Bauza said: "The idea is that once I have met with the [interim Argentine Football Association president] Armando Perez, I will make a trip to have a chat [with Messi].
"It is not about convincing him of anything, just to chat about football.
"Those of us who were players know how frustrating it is to lose a final. I will let him know my way of working – not just him, but other senior players too.
"There is not much time. If Messi knows anything clearly, it is what he must do on the pitch, and what decisions he should take.
"Between the two of us we could see how he could help the national team, and if he can continue with all this commitment that I have seen from outside."
The 58-year-old Bauza, who was coaching Brazilian side Sao Paulo when he was appointed, will have to qualify the Albiceleste for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.


Look out, vloggers. Cardi B is looking to take a few of you to court for defamation. The famous musician is peeved about two vloggers who were producing reports saying that the musical artist was on drugs while she was pregnant with her daughter, Kulture. Cardi believes the video-makers have "spread lies" and that they are attempting to "tarnish her name." And she's not taking it lightly, it's safe to say. It's unclear how much Cardi B hopes to receive in damages, but it's clear that the "Money" rapper is looking for a big bundle of cash from this upcoming court visit.
Here's what we know about this criminal proceeding. As it was reported by E! News, Cardi B is hitting a pair of vloggers, Latasha Kebe and Starmarie Ebony Jones, with major lawsuits about their controversial comments. Cardi claims they've made "defamatory statements" about the popular New York artist regarding her pregnancy, reporting harmful drug use during that time.
Those are certainly not comments one can make lightly on the world wide web, and it is apparent that Cardi B wants to teach these vloggers what happens when you spread bad press about her character. While Cardi B did not speak out about this issue prior, the popular musician released a long post on Instagram (which has since been deleted), where she called out the vloggers for their accusatory remarks.
I didn't really wanted to entertain this but ya know me and gossipinthecity never got along for years, and we always go back and forth, but what wrong is wrong and I'm glad she put me up on this. This person I'm suing is trying to tarnish my name and spread lies in other people blogs like gossipinthecity. spread all types of disgusting rumors about me and it has gotten worst [sic] ... Stop trying to involve people in your disgusting goal on trying to dirty my name everything you accused me of doing and having will be proven with documents and test in court. By the way my father drives me and I NEVER NEVER had a assistant.
With that deleted post, Card B wasn't afraid to let her frustrations be voiced. Although it's unclear if that will hurt her case, since one typically doesn't want to speak out publicly about these legal matters. That might be the reason why the post was deleted, though obviously it was saved and then reposted elsewhere.
According to the legal documents obtained by E! News, Latasha Kebe has put out "at least 23 videos" about Cardi B in the last 14 months, and it's clear that Cardi B isn't happy about the free press. One of the videos she posted claimed that she was using drugs while she was pregnant, therefore potentially causing intellectual disabilities to the young child. Cardi B believes these comments are bold-faced lies, and she doesn't appreciate what she considers to be slander made against her character. Meanwhile, the rapper is going after Starmarie Ebony Jones for claiming that the Grammy-winning musician has herpes. Cardi B definitely doesn't like that.
These are not the only comments these vloggers made that were considered defamatory against Cardi B, but it is apparent that she has a lot of problems with these video makers. Now, Cardi B wants to get the court involved to dispense what she hopes will be justice. Will that happen? Does she have a proper case? We will have to keep you posted on the details at a later date right here at CinemaBlend.

PKM Duda Polish meat processor on shopping tour
Photo: PKM Duda
Dariusz Formela is CEO of PKM Duda.
fleischwirtschaft.com — POLAND, Warsaw. The Polish meat processor PKM Duda plans to take over two local meat players, Bekpol and Meat-Pac, with a view to growing its exports. The company has filed an application to Poland's competition watchdog UOKiK, whose approval is a prerequisite to finalising the two acquisitions.
Meat-Pac is a poultry meat processor, and Bekpol specialises in wholesaling meat. Both companies are owned by local businesspeople Adam and Barbara Skwarek. PKM Duda aims to acquire 100% of the shares in Bekpol and Meat-Pac. The company said in a statement that the two acquisitions were estimated to be worth a total of €4.33 Mill.
The latest development comes following PKM Duda's announcement earlier this year that the firm was aiming to expand to new export markets, including the US and Malaysia.
The latest announcement follows the release of the group's improved financial resul ts for the first half of 2016. In the first six months of this year, PKM Duda reported revenues of some €160.7 Mill., and an EBITDA of about €5.4 Mill., according to figures from the meat industry player. About 82.3% of the company's revenues were generated by export sales.
However, PKM Duda said it was expecting the country's poultry meat consumption per capita to expand, and Poland's pork meat consumption to decrease in the forthcoming years. It is expected that the consumption of poultry meat could increase to 28.8 kg per person by the end of this year.
Under PKM Duda's market strategy for the period 2015–2019, the meat processor aims to raise its revenues through acquisitions of other meat industry players, as well as the development of it s production and distribution capacities in Poland. Headquartered in the country's capital, Warsaw, the company claims to be the largest player in Poland's red meat slaughtering and packaging industry. The group specialises in processing pork, beef and game meat, and consists of 30 firms located in Poland, Germany and Ukraine. In addition to the domestic market, PKM Duda exports its products to a number of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa.
Earlier this year, the management board of PKM Duda decided that the meat industry player would change its name to Gobarto SA as part of its marketing efforts. Since 2002, PKM Duda has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE).

Q: how to Download file over https python requests I am trying to download a file over https using python requests. I wrote a sample code for this. When i run my code it doesnot download the pdf file given in link. Instead downloads the html code for the login page. I checked the response status code and it is giving 200. To download the file login is necessary. How to download the file?
My code:
import requests
import json

# Original File url = "https://seller.flipkart.com/order_management/manifest.pdf?sellerId=8k5wk7b2qk83iff7"

url = "https://seller.flipkart.com/order_management/manifest.pdf"
uname = "xxx@gmail.com"
pwd = "xxx"
pl1 = {'sellerId':'8k5wk7b2qk83i'}
payload = {uname:pwd}
ses = requests.Session()
res = ses.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload))
resp = ses.get(url, params = pl1)
print resp.status_code
print resp.content

I tried several solutions including Sending a POST request with my login creadentials using requests' session object then downloading file using same session object. but it didn't worked.
EDIT:
It still is returning the html for login page.

A: Have you tried to pass the auth param to the GET? something like this:
resp = requests.get(url, params=pl1, auth=(uname, pwd))

And you can write resp.content to a local file myfile.pdf
fd = open('myfile.pdf', 'wb')
fd.write(resp.content)
fd.close()

The archdeacon did not return to the parsonage till close upon the hour of dinner, and there was therefore no time to discuss matters before that important ceremony. He seemed to be in an especial good humour, and welcomed his father-in-law with a sort of jovial earnestness that was usual with him when things on which was intent were going on as he would have them.
'It's all settled, my dear,' said he to his wife as he washed his hands in his dressing-room, while she, according to her wont, sat listening in the bedroom; 'Arabin has agreed to accept the living. He'll be here next week.' And the archdeacon scrubbed his hands and rubbed his face with a violent alacrity, which showed that Arabin's coming was a great point gained.
'Will he come here to Plumstead?' said the wife.
'He's very queer, isn't he?' asked the wife.
The Reverend Francis Arabin was a fellow of Lazarus, the favoured disciple of the great Dr Gwynne, a high churchman at all points; so high, indeed, that at one period of his career he had all but toppled over into the cesspool of Rome; a poet and also a polemical writer, a great pet in the common rooms at Oxford, an eloquent clergyman, a droll, odd, humorous, energetic, conscientious man, and, as the archdeacon had boasted of him, a thorough gentleman. As he will hereafter be brought more closely to our notice, it is now only necessary to add, that he had just been presented to the vicarage of St Ewold by Dr Grantly, in whose gift as archdeacon the living lay. St Ewold's is a parish lying just without the city of Barchester. The suburbs of the new town, indeed, are partly within its precincts, and the pretty church and parsonage are not much above a mile distant from the city gate.

                    File sel = new File(path + "/" + chosenFile);
                    if (sel.isFile())
                        resFiles.add(sel);
                }
                resFiles.remove(position);
            }
            else if(fileList[position].file.equalsIgnoreCase("select all") & (fileList[position].check == false))
            {
                {
                    for(int i =0;i<fileList.length;i++)
                    {

                        fileList[i].setItemCheck(false);
                    }

                }
            }
            if(fileList[position].icon == R.drawable.directory_icon)
                textView.setCheckMarkDrawable(null);
            else if(fileList[position].icon == R.drawable.directory_up)
                textView.setCheckMarkDrawable(null);
            if(fileList[position].check == true)
                textView.setChecked(true);
            else
                textView.setChecked(false);

            // add margin between image and text (support various screen
            // densities)
            int dp5 = (int) (5 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density + 0.5f);
            textView.setCompoundDrawablePadding(dp5);

            textView.setFocusable(false);

            return view;

        }
    };

I have a class Item, where I created boolean field check:+
public class Item {

    public String file;
    public int icon;
    public boolean check;

    public Item(String file, Integer icon, boolean check) {
        this.file = file;
        this.icon = icon;
        this.check = check;
    }
     public String getItemFile()
     {
         return file;
     }

     public int getItemIcon()
     {
         return icon;
     }
     public boolean getItemCheck()
     {
         return check;
     }

     public void setItemCheck(boolean check)
     {
         this.check = check;
     }

     public void setItemFile(String file)
     {
         this.file = file;
     }
     public void setItemIcon(int icon)
     {
         this.icon = icon;
     }
     public void toggle()
     {
         check = !check;
     }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return file + " "+ icon+ " "+ check;
    }

}
And my listView setOnItemClickListener where I set the check state of the item, which was clicked with the toggle() method of the Item class
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
          public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> myAdapter, View myView, int myItemInt, long mylng)
          {
            //String selectedFromList = (lv.getItemAtPosition(myItemInt).toString());
            myView.setFocusable(false);
            chosenFile = fileList[myItemInt].file;
            File sel = new File(path + "/" + chosenFile);
            Log.i("path",sel.toString());
            if (sel.isDirectory()) {

                firstLvl = false;

                str.add(chosenFile);

                fileList = null;
                path = new File(sel + "");

                loadFileList();
                lv.setAdapter(adapter);

            }
            else if (chosenFile.equalsIgnoreCase("up") && !sel.exists()) {

                // present directory removed from list
                String s = str.remove(str.size() - 1);

                // path modified to exclude present directory
                path = new File(path.toString().substring(0,
                        path.toString().lastIndexOf(s)));
                fileList = null;
                // if there are no more directories in the list, then
                // its the first level

                if (str.isEmpty()) {
                    firstLvl = true;
                }
                loadFileList();
                lv.setAdapter(adapter);
            }
            else
            {

                fileList[myItemInt].toggle();
                if (fileList[myItemInt].check == true)
                    resFiles.add(sel);
                else
                    resFiles.remove(sel);
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                Log.i(fileList[myItemInt].file,Boolean.toString(fileList[myItemInt].check));
            }
    }

});

I want to implement ability to check all the CheckedTextView. I try to do it in my getView() method of the adapter. I can check all the items, but problem is in uncheck. Because when I call fileList[i].setItemCheck(false); at the statement when check state of 'select all' item is false I can't check all the items by clicking. How can I implement this in some better way?

A: I solved it by changing the setOnItemClickListener method. The problem was is that I tried to check all the items in my loadFileList() method, which determines all the checkable state, but I should handle single checking and all checking in different parts of code. Now I do it in else statement of setOnItemClickListener...It looks like this:
            else
            {

                fileList[myItemInt].toggle();
                if(fileList[myItemInt].file.equalsIgnoreCase("select all") & (fileList[myItemInt].check == true))
                {
                    String selectAllFile = fileList[myItemInt].file;
                    File all = new File(path + "/" + selectAllFile);
                     for(int i =0;i<fileList.length;i++)
                        {
                            chosenFile = fileList[i].file;
                            File select = new File(path + "/" + chosenFile);
                             fileList[i].setItemCheck(true);

                             if (select.isFile())
                                 {
                                     resFiles.add(select);
                                     resFiles.remove(all);

                                 }

                         }

                     adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                }

                else if(fileList[myItemInt].file.equalsIgnoreCase("select all") & (fileList[myItemInt].check == false))
                {
                    for(int i =0;i<fileList.length;i++)
                    {

                        fileList[i].setItemCheck(false);

                    }
                     adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                }
                if (fileList[myItemInt].check == true)
                    {
                    resFiles.add(sel);
                     if(fileList[myItemInt].file.equalsIgnoreCase("select all"))
                             {
                                String selectAllFile = fileList[myItemInt].file;
                                File all = new File(path + "/" + selectAllFile);
                                resFiles.remove(all);
                             }
                    }
                else
                resFiles.remove(sel);
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                Log.i(fileList[myItemInt].file,Boolean.toString(fileList[myItemInt].check));
            }
    }

Epic Mickey- First Impressions
by Nicole Etolen | Jan 29, 2011 | Entertainment | 0 comments
About 10 days ago, I won a copy of Disney's Epic Mickey for the Wii from Daddy Digest's blog giveaway. To say I was excited is an understatement. I've wanted this game since I first saw the preview on the big screen before the new Harry Potter movie. I've always been a huge fan of all things Disney, and this game just looked awesome. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get the game to me, but when I opened my mailbox today it was sitting right on top. Yay!! I couldn't wait to get home to play it.
The boy-child and I started playing around 6pm, and didn't stop until 8pm. We'd still be playing if he didn't have a specific night time routine to which we adhere.
I have to admit, I almost threw in the towel during the first ten minutes because I could not figure out where to go, what to do and how to properly double-jump. I have been playing video games for about 25 years, give or take. I'm not a casual gamer, I'm one of the few girls I know that spent 12 hours a day leveling up so I could beat each and every Final Fantasy game that came out since way back when I had a Super Nintendo. I spent countless hours obtaining ingredients for the original Star Ocean because I wanted to master every recipe. When I had my son and sleep became a true necessity, I stopped playing as frequently, until he picked up the controller about two years ago. Then I became all about the Lego games and other stuff he likes. Epic Mickey bridges the gap between what he wants to play and what I really want to play (although I have to admit, I am super excited about the Lego games, especially the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean one). I have, give or take, about 23 years experience over Jake when it comes to games. However, when I was ready to throw the Wii controller across the room in frustration (not an easy task, since it was properly attached to my wrist), Jake put his hand on my shoulder and said "Mommy, let me give it a try/" Then, in one swift "A-A" double-jump, he was across the gap that plagued me for approximately 25 times. Oh the humiliation!
We finally defeated the first part and got our cartoon butt out of the evil castle. Once you get through that, the game becomes a little easier. The controls are clunky, but become easier with time, although the targeting system could be a little more intuitive. It's not easy to get the bulls-eye right on the little enemies. The plot itself isn't exactly unique — it's your basic "get the good guy through a series of pitfalls and obstacles so he can complete his mission and return home" story. But the beloved Mickey character, as well as characters lost in "the vault" over the last several decades make it worth the while.
After pouring over reviews when the game first came out, I found that many people had issues with the camera randomly switching around. However, hitting the "C" button, or the directional buttons on the Wii Remote help significantly. The directional buttons allow you to look all around while standing still, and the "C" button centers the camera on Mickey. Some people also seem to find parts of the game a little scary. Jake is afraid of a great many things, we had to turn off The Black Cauldron less than half an hour into the movie because it scared him (he literally screamed "Turn it off! Turn it off now!, but he didn't even so much as flinch during the potentially scary parts. I think it all depends on the individual child, each parent is going to have to make that judgment call.
So far, we're loving Epic Mickey. Tomorrow is Saturday, so we'll clock some more time on the game and get a better feel. But for my first impression, I'd give it a 7/10, docking points for the clunky controls.

Gottrupel (dänisch: Gottrupelle) ist ein Dorf, das zu großen Teilen zu Handewitt gehört. Ein kleiner Teil am Stadtweg gehört zu Flensburg-Friesischer Berg.

Lage

Das Dorf liegt oberhalb des Handewitter Dorfes Langberg und oberhalb der von Flensburg kommenden Bundesstraße 199, welche die beiden Dörfer trennt. Als Zufahrtsstraße zu Gottrupel dient die zur B 199 parallel verlaufende Lecker Chaussee. Das ursprüngliche Dorf im Westen ist zudem durch die A7 vom östlichen Dorfgebiet getrennt. Im östlichen Teil existieren heute zwei weitere Siedlungskerne, ein Siedlungskern an der "Chaussee-Häuserzeile" mit der erwähnten Lecker Chaussee sowie dem benachbarten Stadtweg sowie dem Siedlungskern auf dem Gottrupelfeld am Ihlseeweg.

Im Norden des kleinen Dorfes liegt die deutsch-dänische Grenze. In Richtung des Ortes Handewitt liegt bei Gottrupel der Scandinavia Park, ein großer Einkaufsmarkt, der direkt im Zufahrtsbereich von Handewitt liegt und zu einem großen Teil auch einreisende Kunden aus Dänemark bedient.

Beim Dorf Gottrupel liegen mehrere kleine Teiche und Seen. Am Dorf fließt im Norden der Meyner Mühlenstrom entlang. Ein weiteres Stück nördlich liegt das Dorf Ellund, das heute ebenfalls zu Handewitt gehört. Das Gebiet ist heute noch dünn besiedelt. Östlich von Gottrupel ist das gesamte Flensburger Gebiet, unterhalb des sogenannten Nonnenbergs, einem Hügelgrab, sogar noch unbebaut. Das Gebiet oberhalb mit dem besagten Berg, ist das nördliche Harrisleer Gelände des Stiftungslandes.

Geschichte

Im 15. Jahrhundert wurde Gottrupel erstmals in Dokumenten erwähnt. Der Siedlungsname Gottrupel beruht auf den Namensbestandteilen: "Gothi" (ein Personenname), "torp" (also Dorf) sowie "elle"(Erle). Gottrupels Ortsname hat somit offenbar die Bedeutung: "Gothis Dorf im Erlengehölz".

Im Jahr 1938 begann der Kiesabbau bei Gottrupel. In den nachfolgenden Jahrzehnten wurden ausgebeutete Kiesgruben anschließend zu Müllhalden. In den letzten Kriegstagen flüchtete ein großer Teil der verbliebenen NS-Größen nicht in eine angebliche Alpenfestung, sondern über die sogenannte Rattenlinie Nord nach Flensburg. Im Flensburger Stadtteil Mürwik entstand der Sonderbereich Mürwik, wo sich die letzte Reichsregierung unter Karl Dönitz aufhielt. Am 11. März 1946 wurde auf einem Hof des Dorfes Gottrupel der unter falschem Namen untergetauchte KZ-Kommandant des KZ Auschwitz Rudolf Höß von den Briten verhaftet und an Polen ausgeliefert, wo er vor Gericht gestellt und schließlich 1947 in Auschwitz hingerichtet wurde. Dessen zurückgelassener Mantel befindet sich heute im Fundus des Flensburger Museums.

In den 1960er Jahren entstand nach dem ursprünglichen Dorf am "Meyner Mühlenstrom" und neben dem Bereich an der "Chaussee-Häuserzeile", der dritte Siedlungskern auf dem Gottrupelfeld. 1963 verkauften Gottrupeler Bauern 100 Hektar der Gemarkung an das Bundesvermögensamt. Harrislee und Flensburg gaben weitere angrenzende Flächen an das Bundesvermögensamt ab. Auf diese Weise entstand ein neues großes Truppenübungsgelände der Briesen-Kaserne in Weiche. 1967 wurde die Schule von Gottrupel nahe der Autobahnbrücke geschlossen. Die Kinder besuchten seitdem die Dörfergemeinschaftsschule im Ort Handewitt.

In den 1990er Jahren wurde die Briesen-Kaserne in Weiche geschlossen. Daraufhin erwarb die Stiftung Naturschutz große Teile des Truppenübungsplatzes und wies das Gebiet als Stiftungsland aus.

2011 wurde nahe der B 199 der Solarpark Gottrupel aufgebaut. Heute sind die Kiesgruben und Müllhalden Gottrupels geschlossen. Die Natur hat sich weite Flächen des Gebietes zurückerobert.

Transcriber's note: As I transcribed this lesson, I noticed this is also where we started in Book 17, Lesson 3, Part 3. But after reviewing the study, I found that although the Scriptures are the same, Les has used a different approach and his commentary is completely different. I think you will find it to be very enjoyable as I did.
We just got back from Indiana and Ohio where we got to meet and share with so many of you, our viewers. It just thrilled our hearts. It was so nice to put a face on a name that before we had just known by letter or telephone. In Ohio we had a chance to speak to a Christian High School, and for about three hours those kids just ate it up. We had hands in the air by the dozens constantly. And it was hard to stop even after three hours. It was exhausting. I was totally beat when I got out of there, but what a thrilling experience to see those kids come alive and search the Scriptures. The headmaster was in my class that night and he said, "You know Les, they didn't stop all day long." He said, "They were still looking up Scriptures all afternoon." The third and fourth grade were taken out after the first hour and they complained all day long because they couldn't stay and participate. When people begin to see what the Scriptures say it inspires them.
I hope as you study with us that a spark will ignite and you'll have that desire to study the Word. If you can prove me wrong from Scripture, that I'm not teaching correctly, then I'll have an open ear. Because everything I teach, I teach from God's Word, under the direction of the Holy Spirit. But I'm so confident that after all these years of teaching, and seeing so many people literally turned around, either by Salvation, or seeing their Christian life become exhilarating, then I know what I teach is the Truth. Now open your Bibles to Acts Chapter 3.
In our last program we were in Acts Chapter 2, and I closed the program with the definition of the word `Church.' Whenever you see the word `Church' in the New Testament it is not always applicable for the Church which is the Body of Christ. Remember the word Church came from the Greek word "ecclesia" which is translated "a called out assembly." Moses with Israel in the desert was a called out assembly. Stephen in Acts Chapter 7 refers to them as a Church in the wilderness. And we know that wasn't the New Testament Church by any stretch of the imagination. And I feel the same way with these Jews in Jerusalem. They have not heard the Gospel of Grace as we know it. They have not comprehended that the death, burial, and Resurrection of their Messiah was now intended to go out to the Gentile world. And so they are still correctly confining it only to the Jew and I'm going to show you in a little bit why they are and why God is having them do just that.
Peter doesn't even mention His death, burial, and Resurrection. For us today this is the epitome of everything that God began to do when He created Adam and Eve. And that was to bring the world to a knowledge of the crucified, buried, and risen Christ. But Peter has never been told that. And why do I say that he doesn't know it yet? Because God has not revealed that. It is still a secret, and will be revealed to the Apostle Paul a little later.
Let's stop and look at some of the references about God's ability to hide things. First to the Book of Deuteronomy. God never told everything all at once, but revealed a little bit at a time all the way through the Bible. And the only way we can study Scripture correctly is with the idea that only periodically does God reveal something that those Old Testament people didn't understand. The same with Peter and John in these early chapters of Acts. They still haven't had an understanding of what God was going to reveal in the death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ. As of yet all they understood was that He was The Messiah; He was The Son of God; He had proved it with His miracles; but it was only for the Nation of Israel. It wasn't that God had overlooked the Gentiles. Not at all. But He was going to use that favored nation to reach out to these pagan, idolatrous Gentiles at the appropriate time.
Not that much had even been revealed to Moses. But as much as had been revealed they were to believe. Now let's go to Luke 18, verse 31. This shocks people the first time they see it. John tells us the same thing. This passage occurs in Northern Israel just shortly before the Passover and the Crucifixion. It's the end of Jesus' three years of earthly ministry.
Who hid this from the disciples? God did. It wasn't time for them to know. This immediately substantiates that they had no idea when He was hanging on that Cross, that three days later He would be alive. I'm always making the point, had they had any understanding that He was going to die, and yes, He would be buried, and yes, on the third day he would be raised from the dead, where would they have been that early Sunday morning? Outside the tomb! But they weren't; they had all given up, and thought it was all over. When Mary Magdalene went to dress the Body with the spices, she was bewildered because the Body was gone. She had no idea that He was alive. God had purposely hidden these things from them, because He is going to reveal them in His own time, and use faith in Jesus' death, burial and Resurrection as the Gospel for the Gentile Church. It would be revealed to the Apostle Paul. Always remember Peter and the eleven preached only what was revealed to them. Paul preached what was revealed to him. This will open the Scriptures to you. Let's look at another occasion in the Gospel of John Chapter 13.
"FOR this cause (in other words everything he had just written in Chapter 2 concerning our Salvation). I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles," That's us as believers today.
Now you can't get it any plainer than that. These things have never been revealed before, because they have been hidden. God has kept it secret and that is His prerogative. I'm doing this to show that when Peter and John go up to the Temple to pray, they had no concept of what we call the Church Age. They were still under the legal system of Judaism. They were still an extension of Christ's earthy ministry, and when we get back to Acts and see the miracles they perform, it's nothing different than that which Christ had been doing for three years. But let's continue with keeping things secret until God is ready to reveal them. Turn to the Book of Colossians Chapter 1, verse 24. Remember Paul is writing to Gentile believers. Colossi is up in Asia Minor.
"Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church." Do you see the difference in language? Here it is the Church which is the Body of Christ. This is the one you and I are acquainted with.
Just as surely as God gave the Law to Israel through Moses, He also gave the Age of Grace to Paul for us the Gentile Body of Christ. The Scripture is so clear on that. God didn't give Israel the Law directly, He gave it through Moses. Moses took it down Mount Sinai and then shared it with the Nation of Israel. Consequently in His earthly ministry when they came and asked Jesus doctrinal questions He didn't answer them, but rather said, "You have Moses." In other words, go back and read it yourself. You have all you need to know because Moses has written it. He has done the same thing for us today in the Church Age with the Apostle Paul. I know once in a while someone will complain that I make more of Paul than I should. No, I don't. I don't make any more of Paul than the Scriptures do, nor any more than they made of Moses. In fact, I maintain that Moses and Paul are the two greatest men other than Christ Himself in all of Scripture.
Let's go back to Acts Chapter 3. And in that light, as I understand the Scriptures, I say that Peter and John did not have any knowledge of the Church which is the Body of Christ. They are still associated with the Judaism that Christ dealt with, and that John the Baptist preached; that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Repent and be baptized by believing Who Jesus was. This is all that Peter and the eleven men here in these early chapters of Acts know.
Appropriate? Absolutely. Because Peter and John are just continuing on with what Christ has been doing for three years. And that was the whole idea in Acts 1:8 when the Holy Spirit came, they were to have power. What kind of power? To do what Jesus had been doing. Remember Jesus told the Twelve that the Holy Spirit would not come until He left. And so the transition of power went from The Lord Jesus to the Holy Spirit. Now in the moment we have left let's look at Acts Chapter 5.
"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel,…" Do you see that?
