Joshua Louis Goldberg (January 6, 1896 – December 24, 1994) was a Belarusian-born American rabbi, who was the first rabbi to be commissioned as a U.S. Navy chaplain in World War II (and only the third to serve in the Navy in its history), the first to reach the rank of Navy Captain (the equivalent of Army Colonel), and the first to retire after a full active-duty career.

He had a highly unusual military background for a U.S. Navy chaplain, having been drafted into the Russian army when he was a teenager, then deserting to make his way to the United States where he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in an infantry unit in Europe during World War I before beginning rabbinical school studies in New York City after the war.

Life and works

Early life
Goldberg was born on January 6, 1896, in Belarus (then part of the Russian Empire), the son of a lumber merchant in Babruysk, and educated in Odessa, Ukraine and Tel Aviv (then part of Palestine).

He was drafted into the Imperial Russian Army when he was 18, serving as a Private until deserting his unit to flee Russia after the collapse of the Russian western front.  He was able to reach the United States in 1916, after an eight-month journey by way of Siberia, Manchuria, Korea, and Japan.

He arrived in Seattle and traveled to New York, where he returned to the military, enlisting to serve with artillery units in the American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War I.  He served in the army 1917–1920, leaving as a sergeant.

Goldberg recounted that when the Army recruiter who enlisted him discovered that he spoke almost no English, he should "keep his mouth shut." Goldberg followed the recruiter's advice, secretly spending "many an hour at night in the latrine at Fort Slocum, hiding with my [Russian-English] dictionary, trying to maintain my goal of mastering 50 new words every day."  Once in France, Goldberg's fluency in French was often put to use through service as an interpreter.  In addition to English and French, Goldberg spoke four other languages: Yiddish, German, Hebrew, and Russian.

After the war, he returned to America to teach Hebrew, then began rabbinical studies at the Jewish Institute of Religion in Manhattan, and was ordained in 1926, accepting the position of rabbi at New York's Astoria Center of Israel in 1926.  While serving at the Astoria Center, he made weekly visits to the Brooklyn Naval Hospital to visit service personnel, and later—at the suggestion of one of the doctors at that hospital—he volunteered for service as a Navy chaplain with the outbreak of World War II.

Later achievements
Goldberg served as president of the Alumni Association for the Jewish Institute of Religion during the 1930s.  He was active in many other organizations and held numerous leadership positions during his career, including: Chaplain of the Department of Hospitals of New York City; Board of Trustees, Queens Public Library; Executive Council, Queens Council of the Boy Scouts of America; Vice President, Queens College Association; Board of Trustees, Jewish Institute of Religion; Board of Governors, Queens Committee for Jewish Social Service; National Secretary, American Jewish Congress; Executive member, Committee of Jewish Delegation in Paris, France; Vice-President, Queens Welfare Committee; and Vice-President, Queens Family Welfare Society. Along with Supreme Court Justice Charles S. Colden, Goldberg "was instrumental in the establishment of Queens College."

Goldberg lectured extensively throughout the United States and authored many articles on Jewish and American life.  In 1950, he was named rabbi emeritus of the Astoria Jewish Center.

In 1952, during a visit to Spain, Goldberg (wearing his U.S. Navy uniform) became the first rabbi in 461 years to preach during Jewish services in Madrid, in an "improvised" synagogue. When the small community expressed its desire for a permanent rabbi, Goldberg's involvement became a factor in the hiring of Rabbi David A. Jessurun Cordozo in 1953.

In 1961, Goldberg and his wife Henrietta returned from a visit to the Soviet Union to begin writing and speaking on the plight of Soviet Jews, including an article written by Goldberg that was published in Look Magazine, where he wrote that anti-semitism was more of a threat to Jews under communism than it had been under the Czars: "Being a Jew under the Czars was only a disability—not a calamity. Within these restrictions, the Jews developed a rich intellectual, cultural, and most importantly, religious life".
Now, however, he continues,The Jews are afraid to go to the synagogues lest their children lose their jobs; afraid to complain, lest they be accused of being counter-revolutionaries; afraid to ask for a visa to join families in Israel lest they be accused of participating in Zionist-capitalistic conspiracies; afraid to communicate with relatives in the United States lest they be dubbed potential spies. They have become a community of whisperers in a kingdom of fear.

In 1962, Goldberg served as tour leader for International Conference of Jewish War Veterans in Israel, leading a New York delegation on a tour of sites in London, Paris, Rome, and Israel.

United States Navy
Upon his commissioning as a U.S. Navy officer on January 8, 1942, Goldberg became the first rabbi accepted as a Navy chaplain in World War II and eventually was promoted to the rank of Navy captain.  He was the first rabbi (Jewish chaplain) to earn this rank, an honor that was especially significant because at that time there were only 18 Navy chaplains holding the rank of captain.  During the war, the Navy sent him to Navy bases around the world as part of a Jewish-Catholic-Protestant chaplain team. "By conducting interfaith services, he made sure American soldiers and sailors had places to worship regardless of their faith." The trip—March 8, 1944 – May 20, 1944—covered more than 28,000 miles, including visits to naval installations in the Caribbean, South America, North Africa, and the United Kingdom, and was led by then U.S. Navy Chief of Chaplains Robert Workman.  Following the trip, Goldberg spoke to stateside groups on the importance of "greater sacrifice" on the part of civilians back home.

In 1944, Goldberg helped develop a "practical field training manual" for theological students being trained to serve as chaplains, and in 1945 the Navy published his 40-page manual, "Ministering to Jews in the Navy," a volume that helped non-Jewish chaplains support the needs of Jewish personnel.  After the establishment of the State of Israel, Goldberg was sent on a visit as a "special representative of the Chief of Naval Operations—"concerning matters of a delicate nature and with important implications in the area of international understanding."

Because the Navy had no Jewish chaplain officially attached to the staff of the Chief of Chaplains, Goldberg—as the senior Jewish chaplain in the Navy—served in an unofficial capacity as the Jewish representative to that staff.

After the conclusion of World War II, Goldberg continued to work with chaplains of other faiths, including participation in two NATO conferences on "building ecumenism among the military clergy."  In 1960, he became the first Jewish chaplain to receive the Legion of Merit.  He had received five battle ribbons for his earlier service with the infantry.

In 1949, Goldberg was assigned as chaplain to the Third Naval District—the first Jewish chaplain to serve as chaplain for a Navy district—responsible for the coordination of all Navy chaplains in New York, Connecticut, and a portion of New Jersey. His naval career had begun as a member of the staff of the Third Naval District Chaplain January 1942 – July 1949, before serving as the District Chaplain July 1949 – January 1960.

Former Navy Chief of Chaplains Ross Trower wrote that Goldberg was "chiefly responsible" for the influential radio program, "The Navy Goes to Church," which "conveyed to millions of people the concern of the Navy for the spiritual welfare of its personnel."

From 1950 to 1954 he served as Special Consultant to the Department of Defense Armed Forces Chaplains Board.

Looking back at his Naval career, Goldberg reflected that:
My life in the Navy has been a saga of deep spiritual satisfaction. The Navy Chaplain Corps motto was "cooperation without compromise", and that's what it was like. Rabbis, Priests, and Ministers went out together, worked together, and spoke on the same platform. Priests and Protestant Ministers helped arrange Passover services throughout the world. It was not a lessening of stature for us to help each other. We lifted each other up, and helped preserve the dignity of each other's religion. We were practicing "ecumenism" long before anyone had heard of the word.

Retirement and death
As Goldberg's retirement approached, one newspaper article included the following words:
If any man served his country beyond the call of duty, if any man served in a position all the hours of every day, knowing no time off and no private life, that man is Chaplain Joshua Goldberg, who once was called the Religious Diplomat of our time. And this can be said of him that every admiral who ever served over Chaplain Goldberg, that every man who was his Boss, is turning out to honor him on his retirement. It is a rare quality that wins for a sky-pilot the friendship and respect of hard-boiled Navy Admirals. "Josh" deserves the love he has gained.

Following his January 1, 1960 retirement from the Navy, Goldberg continued to support military personnel in many ways, including his decision to pay his own expenses in order to travel to Naples for a number of years in a row to lead services for the Jewish High Holy Days for overseas Jewish military personnel.

Goldberg retired to West Palm Beach, where he wrote the weekly column "Wisdom of the heart," in the Palm Beach Post.

On December 24, 1994, Goldberg died in West Palm Beach, Florida and was buried on January 6, 1995, in Arlington National Cemetery.  He was 98.

Education
Goldberg's formal education included:
Herzliya College, Palestine, 1914
University of Odessa, Russia, B.A., 1916
Jewish Institute of Religion, New York City, New York, M.H.L. and rabbinic ordination, 1926
Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, New York City, New York, D.D. (Honorary), 1951

Family
Goldberg married writer and former R.H. Donnelley executive Henrietta C. Davis on August 22, 1948.  Goldberg had two daughters from a previous marriage to Eleanor Rottman - Josephine and Naomi. At the time of Goldberg's death, he and Henrietta had four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Much of Goldberg's family, including his mother and younger sister, died during World War II in the gas chambers of Auschwitz.

He was also a champion level ice skater and trained the Wiener family whilst on vacation in Phoenicia, New York.

Awards and memorials
Goldberg received the Frank Weil Award for "distinguished contributions to the Armed Services" in 1958.

That same year, Goldberg received the Gold Medal of Merit from the Jewish War Veterans of the United States.  General Omar Bradley made the award presentation, with remarks by former Secretary of the Navy Charles Thomas and Roman Catholic Cardinal Francis Spellman.

Among his many other awards was the Four Chaplains Award presented by the Alexander D. Goode lodge of B'nai B'rith in 1956. He also received a special "Medal for International Cooperation" from the French government, assigning him the honorary rank of commander in the French military.  In 1959, the New York Police Department Shomrim Society honored Goldberg with its first annual "Person of the Year" award.

On February 10, 1995, the Captain Joshua L. Goldberg Memorial Chapel was dedicated in his honor at the National Museum of American Jewish Military History in Washington, D.C.

My wife's birthday is in a couple of weeks (May 3). She likes personalized things like home-made cards, crafts, etc. She prefers gifts that you have to spend a little time to make, rather than taking the easy way out and buying her something. So I decided to make her sort of a 3D "E-Card" using jPCT. (She never reads these forums, so it's safe to talk here ) I'm thinking a 3D animation of a guy and a girl who embrace, music in the background, and a message popping up. I've already finished the man character and am almost done with the woman character. I am using photos of my wife and me to texture them. They don't look a lot like us, but it is an acceptable approximation. I'll post my progress here, as well as the finished applet (after her birthday, of course, so she sees it first). Any ideas are welcome, although I may not be able to implement them since I have a pretty tight deadline for this project.
I would do a video 3 studio max instead of doing an e card.
It's good practice, but when you paste photographs on humanoid figures it usually ends up a little creepy. Art is all about abstraction and symbolism. The point is you did it rather than going out and buying a card, though.
I will be creating the animations in max in order to create the keyframes, so I suppose that is always an option if I run out of time.
It's good practice, but when you paste photographs on humanoid figures it usually ends up a little creepy. Art is all about abstraction and symbolism.
I like creepy . Seriously, though, I noticed that before, so I tried to avoid the creepiness when creating these humanoids. The models themselves are very organic, asymetric, low-poly. Then, rather than try to fit the models to the textures, I cut, pasted, resized pieces of different photos to create a low-res UV map, giving them a somewhat abstract quality. The end result do not look like they are trying to be perfect , but still recognizable as representing us.

Worlds in Collision
Most exoplanet discoveries are no longer Big News, since the excellent Paris Observatory exoplanet site now lists nearly a planet for each day of the year. (Currently 360, to be exact.) But the discovery of ex-exoplanets still warrants special mention, and gets it from Sky & Telescope (plus a discussion thread at SFConsim-l, including a link to the original paper). A star with the catchy name HD 172555, a young, Vega-like Class A star 95 light years away in the constellation Pavo, is surrounded by what researchers using the Spitzer Space Telescope expected to be a protoplanetary disk.
Instead it turned out to be just the opposite – a debris ring from the collision of two protoplanetary bodies, estimated to be the size of Mercury and the Moon. The observed IR radiation comes from enough glassy silica dust to form an asteroid over 300 km across, along with about a hundred times that much SiO2 gas that hasn't condensed back into particles yet. Nothing was said about larger pieces of wreckage, which wouldn't be detectable with current instruments. The smashup was pretty recent, too, perhaps less than a thousand years ago, which is why we get to observe wreckage skidding across the freeway lanes, as it were.
A demolition derby phase is in fact an expected stage of planet formation, so all is not lost for HD 172555. Earth probably took a more glancing whack from a Mars-sized object in its early history, which wrote finis for the unlucky intruder in our orbital space, but knocked enough chrome detailing off Earth to coalesce into the Moon.
For your added entertainment value, Sky & Telescope links to this NASA video of what happens when protoplanets go bump in the night.
Related Links: In the early days of this blog I wrote twice about non-wrecked exoplanets.
What to say, what to say...? Hmmmm...
Now that that's out of the way... This is a fairly strong bit of supporting evidence for the Super Sumo Slam hypothesis of lunar formation. .555% of observed star systems show clear evidence of collisions between rocky protoplanetary bodies, although this latest one is too recent and too destructive to be much good to anyone. But the newness of the event is a big part of how the researchers found it. A big cloud of hot grit is comparitively easy to spot. Cooling dust clouds or coalescing 'sandstorms' would probably be harder to identify as collision remnants. And if the impact had happened, say, a billion years ago there probably wouldn't be a fingerprint left to spot. This is support for the Velikovsky Big Smash theory, but we need more.
And, again, wow.
'Wow' is a pretty good summary, I agree! It's one thing to read, in theoretical articles, about the demolition derby phase of planetary systems - another to come across recent, specific evidence of it.
Again, it is like coming on the accident scene so soon afterward that bits and pieces are still skidding across the freeway.
More evidance of the Demolition Durby model of planetary formation! It's always nice to have proof of theories. Still, it would have been cool to have seen it!
Rubberneck! 'Damn, if we'd only come by a bit earlier we coulda seen the wreck!' :-)

My daughter arranged my appointment and for my husband. The first time we both had a cut and blow dry but wow what an experience. For the first time, I was actually listened to. The place was fantastic every little thing taken care of. We both felt really special. We left feeling great. Yesterday we visited The Chapel once more, this time I had a colour as well, so so happy. Superb place very professional and wonderful people. My hair was fabulous.
This place was spectacular from start to finish. The knowledge of the staff and the venue itself are unlike any other salon in the country. The stylists genuinely want to talk to you, I even stayed for another coffee so we could chat further. My haircut was also expertly matched to my face shape and hair texture, and I'm so glad I was advised against a fringe. A must visit for anyone who is tired of rushed and cramped salons.
I've never been happier with my hair! ❤ From the second I walked through the door Kylie's customer service skills were impeccable. It was my first visit to a Chapel salon after hearing such great things and the team and venue in Horsham take hairdressing to a whole new level, an experience I don't think I can do without now.

Improving Farming Boosts Peace Efforts
GLOBAL - Improving food security can help build sustainable peace and even ward off looming conflict, FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva told members of the United Nations Security Council.
"We know that actions to promote food security can help prevent a crisis, mitigate its impacts and promote post-crisis recovery and healing," Graziano da Silva said.
Conflicts are a key driver of protracted crises, where hunger is three times more likely than in the rest of the developing world, while the countries with the highest levels of food insecurity are also those most affected by conflict.
That is borne out in cases ranging from Syria and Yemen to South Sudan and Somalia. He also cited post-conflict Angola and Nicaragua, post-genocide Rwanda and post-independence Timor-Leste as cases where peace and food security were mutually reinforcing.
The opposite can also prove true, leading to a relapse into violence.
Simple measures to boost farming
Failure to boost food security can jeopardise stabilisation processes, a risk currently faced by Yemen and also in Central African Republic, where half the population is now food insecure, Mr Graziano da Silva said.
Food security assistance can be used even during conflicts, he added, noting that FAO's final push to eliminate the livestock disease Rinderpest took place amid war and required an approach allowing animal health workers to gain access to cattle.
Syria is another example. Today, many farmers have fled their lands, but those that have remained are growing almost two-thirds of their pre-crisis wheat output, helped by FAO's distribution of seeds. That's inadequate but "has been critical to prevent even worse displacement and to set the foundations for rebuilding" the country, he said.
Fostering rural development can also facilitate peace building efforts. FAO has agreed to partner with the government of Colombia to fast-track projects enhancing food security and rural development in an effort to consolidate the peace treaty that appears close to being reached there.
International efforts in favour of peace will be more effective if they include measures to boost the resilience of rural households and communities, as it is they and their livelihoods that bear the brunt of the damage in contemporary conflicts.
"Where food security can be a force for stability, we have to look to food and agriculture as pathways to peace and security," he added.
Efforts to support farming and rural livelihoods can be a motivating rationale for bringing people together after conflict, and offer "peace dividends" by contributing to the sustainability of peace, he said.
The UN's duties and role
Today's event was organised by the Government of Angola, which holds the Security Council presidency in March, and the Government of Spain, currently also a member of the Council.
They convened this meeting of the Security Council under the Arria Formula, a working method introduced a quarter of a century ago that has been increasingly used to discuss issues related to peace and development and which also allows Council members to take advantage of expertise and information provided by outsiders.
It was the Food and Agriculture Organization's first-ever participation.
Mr Graziano da Silva pointed out that a core premise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all UN member states last year is that "there can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable development."
He also noted that UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon's "One Humanity: Shared Responsibility" report for the World Humanitarian Summit to held in Istanbul in May calls for "active engagement in conflict prevention" by all international actors including the Security Council.
"As we all know, prevention requires addressing the root causes of conflict, including hunger and food insecurity," Mr Graziano da Silva said.
He announced that FAO is now developing a corporate peacebuilding policy to amplify its contribution to conflict prevention, which entails creating a more efficient and flexible framework for collaboration.
"Implementing such a policy will require stronger engagement with governments and a wide range of peace building, humanitarian and development actors," he said, noting that FAO has a long history of working closely on related matters with partners both outside and within the UN system, including the International Fund for Agricultural Development, the World Food Programme, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

Today, I had the opportunity to explore Hitwise. I have been 'courted' the last year or so to purchase it's services, but have never had the time to actually sit down and test the product. I will admit, the information they provide is valuable, not to mention, very very vast. It was almost overwhelming, all the different ways I could slice and dice the data. Oh, it was good.
The first of course is the price, for small business' I think it's a bit of a stretch to ask for upwards of £12000 a year for the basic package. I guess if I want to play with the big dogs, and get the full package I'll have to find an extra £36000. The second issue I have to consider is if Hitwise only provides search intelligence for 40% of internet searches, is it really worth it?
Do any of you have hitwise accounts and would recommend the service? Or is anyone using an alternate search intelligence company, that maybe isn't as costly?
What's Happening i'm new to this, I stumbled upon this Ive found It absolutely helpful and possesses forced me to be out loads. I'm hoping to contribute & assist other users like its taught me to be. Well done.

Green Line project history and milestones
Green Line LRT Project
Green Line Home
Building the Green Line
Project history & milestones
The Green Line has been planned for Calgary's future since the 1980s. The Green Line was initially planned to be built as bus-only lanes called a transitway. While a transitway would not provide the capacity and reliability of an LRT service, this option would improve service in communities, without the significant initial capital investment required for LRT. The transitway was planned to be extended and converted into an LRT line in the future, as funding became available.
In July 2015, the Government of Canada announced that up to $1.53 billion from the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund would be awarded to the Green Line as an LRT project. This announcement offered the opportunity to explore building the Green Line as an LRT from the beginning, providing all three levels of government could provide matching contributions. By July 2017, all three levels of government announced funding support for Stage 1 of the Green Line LRT totalling $4.903 billion.
2012 North Central LRT Planning Begins
In 2012, The City began planning for, what was then known as, the North Central LRT. A new LRT line that would connect Calgarians from the Northern Hills Communities to downtown. Through this planning it was determined the NCLRT and the Green Line SE would be one continuous line, connecting in the Centre City.
Council approval for bus-only Transitway, with plans to convert to low-floor LRT.
The project became known as the SETWAY. Council approved this plan and directed The City to continue engagement with key stakeholders to finalize station locations and Transit Oriented Development opportunities and to report back with a plan explaining the population and land use data on which the ridership forecasts were prepared.
2013 Council provides funding to build the "Green Line"
Council allocates $52 million/year in tax room from 2015-2024.
These funds are used to create a dedicated transit fund to build the North Central and Southeast Green Line. The southeast leg of this project is re-named to the Green Line Southeast Transitway.
2014 Recommendations for Green Line North
Administration presented recommendations of Green Line North (formerly known as North Central LRT) Route Planning Study Recommendations (TT2014-0916).
Work Plan for Green Line SE approved
The work plan outlined the Green Line Southeast magnitude and complexity, project milestones until construction start, and potential early roadwork projects.
2015 Council Approves Green Line North
This approval set the route down Centre Street North and connected the Green Line SE and North Central LRT as one route.
Federal Government commits $1.5 billion for Green Line LRT
In summer 2015 the Government of Canada committed funding for a Green Line LRT officially converting the project from a bus-based transit system to an LRT.
Green Line SE Engagement
The Green Line team hosted many public engagement opportunities to finalize the southeast route.
2016 Centre City Alignment Approval
In October 2016 the Centre City alignment of an underground tunnel and four stations was approved by Council.
Beltline Alignment Approval
In December 2016, the Beltline alignment of 12 Avenue underground with a station at Centre Street was approved, finalizing a 4 km tunnel to connect the Green Line North and Green Line Southeast.
2017 Green Line long-term vision and Stage 1 approval
City Council approved Green Line LRT long-term vision, including a 46 km route from 160 Avenue N to Seton, 28 station locations, and Transit Orientated Development (TOD) plans. Stage 1 of construction was also approved to extend from 16 Avenue N to 126 Avenue SE, including 14 stations.
Provincial funding announcement
The Government of Alberta pledged up to $1.53 billion over eight years to support Stage 1 construction of the Green Line LRT. The funds will come from the Climate Leadership Plan.
2018 Work continues on the Green Line
The project team continued to refine the design and challenge assumptions made during the preliminary design phase of the project to prepare for the release of contract documents. This work primarily focused on the constructability of the 4 kilometre tunnel.
2019 Funding agreement finalized
On January 30, 2019 the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and The City of Calgary signed a funding agreement for the Green Line LRT. This agreement marked a major milestone for the Green Line project and finalized the joint investment in Calgary of nearly $5 billion by all three levels of government.
In February, the RFQ for a new fleet of low floor LRV's was released in Q1 of 2019.
Council approves splitting Stage 1 into two contracts
In July, Stage 1 of the Green Line has been split into two contracts, 4 Street S.E. to Shepard and 16 Avenue N to 4 Street S.E. to accommodate further review of the downtown and Beltline alignment.
Release Request for Qualifications for Segment 1
In August, the RFQ for construction of segment 1, 4 Street S.E. to Shepard was released. We received information from interested bidders on their qualifications to work on the project.
2020 City approves updated Stage 1 alignment
Updates to the Stage 1 alignment
In June 2020, Council approved an updated alignment to Stage 1.
Release Request for Proposals for segment 1 (Ramsay/Inglewood Station to Shepard Station)
The RFP for segment 1, Ramsay/Inglewood to Shepard stations, was released to a shortlisted group of successful proponents identified through the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process.
Engagement on the Green Line
The Green Line team has worked closely with communities, businesses, developers, and other key stakeholders over the last five years along the route to identify opportunities and understand and mitigate community concerns. The future Green Line LRT will touch numerous communities and areas, each with unique identities, and diverse area planning needs. The public engagement process strives to accommodate and respect the individuality of each community while facilitating meaningful dialogue to gather the necessary design information. In most cases, public input is one of many factors that must be considered by the project team when making decisions. Other factors include cost, community impact, environmental considerations, technical feasibility, etc.
2021 Construction of segment 1 starts - Ramsay/Inglewood Station to Shepard Station

Q: Android how to turn off gps icon after press return back button to home screen ? I have this problem, I using GPS from my app to get latitude and longitude,when I want to return to home Icon GPS always show from top of my Mobile device,how I can turn off it after return to home screen

my code.
public class doctorlocation extends Activity implements LocationListener {
    protected LocationManager locationManager;
    protected LocationListener locationListener;
    protected Context context;
    String lat;
    String provider;
    protected double latitude,longitude;
    protected boolean gps_enabled,network_enabled;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.doctorlocation);
        locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);
    }

        @Override
    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
     //txtLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview1);

    //txtLat.setText("Latitude:" + location.getLatitude() + ", Longitude:" + location.getLongitude());
    String str = "Latitude: "+location.getLatitude()+" \nLongitude: "+location.getLongitude();
    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    latitude=location.getLatitude();

    longitude=location.getLongitude();

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
     Log.d("Latitude","disable");

        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned off ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
     Log.d("Latitude","enable");

    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Gps turned on ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    }

    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
    Log.d("Latitude","status");
    }

      }

A: Use this code on onPause() of that Activity.
 @Override
    protected void onPause() {
    Log.i("onPause", "inside onPause");
    super.onPause();
    locationManager.removeUpdates(myLocationListener);//locationManager.removeUpdates(this) ;
    locationManager = null;
    }

A: Enabling and Disabling the GPS is in the hands of the user. You can show him a Dialog to inform him about disabling the GPS. Keep two buttons on the dialog in that case - one for "Settings" and another one for "ok" or "cancel".
public static void promptForGPS(
        final Activity activity)
    {
        final AlertDialog.Builder builder =
            new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
        final String action = Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS;
        final String message = "Disable GPS....Message here"
            + " Click OK to go to"
            + " location services settings to let you do so.";

        builder.setMessage(message)
            .setPositiveButton("OK",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface d, int id) {
                        activity.startActivity(new Intent(action));
                        d.dismiss();
                    }
            })
            .setNegativeButton("Cancel",
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface d, int id) {
                        d.cancel();
                    }
            });
        builder.create().show();
    }

A: The best I have found is
onResume()
{
     // Request for GPS Location
     //location.requestLocationUpdates()
}

and
onPause()
{
     // Remove location
     // location.removeUpdates()
}

By calls removeUpdates() method it will stop GPS whenever your Activity is not in forground. This way you can stop GPS as well as it will stop draining your battery.

A: You need to tell the LocationManager that you no longer need location updates when your App enters into background, by using
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);

in your onPause() method.
You should also move your call to
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, this);

to onResume(); so that location updates will resume once you re-enter your App.

I got my white Christmas after all! We arrived in Michigan to a fresh blanket of snow that continued to grow as the week went on. If you've been following me along on instagram, you may already be sick of the wintry photos but I can't stop!
Where my parents live, in the southern part of Michigan, they don't usually have this much snow this early in the year, so I am in heaven! We hiked, sledded, and walked along the frozen shore until the sun went down. Not a bad way to spend the last weekend of the year.
2013 has been a wild ride! Here's a round-up of Smitten Studio's top 10 posts this year.
1. The launch of my line A Sunny Afternoon definitely takes the cake as one of the top moments of the year. See the original post here.
2. We finished work on the cabin (well, for now at least) that we slowly renovated ourselves, where the kitchen went from this, to this.
3. Rupert and I spent my birthday in New Zealand where we road tripped around the north island in a vintage Kombi. It was the trip of a lifetime (see part 1 & par 2).
5. My "Stop and Smell the Roses" print was featured in Glamour Magazine. I also spotted it in the home of Anika & Ken Yael Natori in Lonny Magazine, and in Julia Engel's abode.
6. The other top Smitten Studio DIY of the year was this simple Ikea hack.
7. A big change in 2013 was with the selling of our home and the buying and moving into a fixer upper. Glitter Guide sent over a photographer for a Style at Home feature just weeks before we moved out. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to the first place Rupert and I owned together.
8. In the new house we started renovating by refinishing the floors, knocking down a few walls, and painting so that right now at least the living room is livable.
9. We sold out of the first collection of A Sunny Afternoon products much quicker then anticipated so I added new designs, stocked up on some of the favorites, and launched the winter collection with a pancake brunch with friends.
10. And finally, we started on the kitchen in the new house by completely gutting it and putting in new cabinets and countertops.
Happy Friday, and here's to a happy 2014 to you all!
Only one more sleep until Christmas! This year Rupe and I weren't able to have a Christmas party at our house because of all the renovations, but oh how we made up for it by attending a whole lot of them. Of course Smilebooth was present at most of the soirees, which is always a hoot. At this one, my fellow girls in gold and black and I turned it into a dance booth to properly document our accidental coordinating outfits. Clearly Santa Rupe wouldn't be left out.
Images from Smilebooth from the Dart office holiday party.
This weekend I was down for the count with some kind of bug that has been going around Rupe's office. He had it a couple weeks ago and somehow I was able to stave it off until now. I think your body knows when you just can't afford to get sick and the past few weeks were it.
The holiday rush of A Sunny Afternoon orders were amazing to have (thank you guys) and happily kept me up to my ears in saw dust and order fulfillment, and I've been working late nights on the blog all while managing the renovation (we broke ground on the addition! more to come on that.). Finally, this weekend I was ready to slow down and finish my holiday shopping when BAM the sickness knocked me into bed and I don't think I hardly even left it Saturday. Thankfully I'm feeling better today and looking forward to a less hectic couple of weeks.
Top left image at Menotti's (my fave coffee shop) and top right is the beginning of our foundation for the addition.

Well it was this time last year when I first approach April at the Craft House in Saltaire about possibly running some workshops with her. I'd had a number of people come up to me at art fairs asking about oil and cold wax and wanting to find out more about this medium and the techniques I used.
Neither of us had any idea whether people would be that interested as it seemed a bit specialist to me for anyone to want to do. We started off with a couple of dates in the diary and launching the workshops as a one day introduction.
The first workshop was sold out before it was published on the Craft House website and the second followed shortly. Not only did we have experienced artists wanting to sign up but also people who had never really painted before. We also had people willing to travel to Saltaire from other parts of the country!
So out came the diaries and we booked some more dates for later this year, extending the workshop to 2 days so that I could cover a range of techniques. They soon booked up and we were already starting to look at dates for 2019.
It's now October 2018 and we've now launched dates up to end of 2019 and have introduced different levels of workshops, beginners and intermediate so there is a workshop a month now offered.
So what is cold wax?
Designed for participants who have attended the beginners oil and cold wax workshop, or for more experienced artists who are new to oil and cold wax medium.


The cold rolling process is a method of shaping steel rod into cold finished bar or wire. The rod is mechanically worked to its final shape by passing through a series of rolling mills at ambient temperature. Compared to other steel processing methods, cold rolled steel properties typically include a smoother, scale-free, finish; less material loss; tight manufacturing tolerances; a higher degree of customization; and up to 50% more tensile strength.


Apologies for the unannounced posting hiatus. Regular posts will resume next week. Merry (late) Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
Happy New Year to the SBB community!!

When I send out my proposals to each of my clients, I like to provide them with a variety of options.
This gives the client some control and allows them to choose what would work best for their budget.
By providing these options, it can increase the likeliness that the client will go with your services.
For example, the client must have a 2-minute short form documentary to go on their website, and the documentary needs to cover what problems the client faced and how that companies product helped them to solve that problem.
Next, the client should have some 1-minute short form versions of the documentary that they can use on social media.
Finally, the client could have some 10-15 second highlight videos that are more shareable to get the word spread about that product.
By giving them these different options and prices, it gives the client a chance to decide what works best for them, and it also shows them the value of your work.
So now that you have given the client options, how are you going to go about billing them?
So the first things, and this is what you'll do for the majority of your projects, is you'll charge on a per-project basis.
For this, I will charge 50% of the project costs upfront, and 50% on delivery.
The reason I do it like that is to help with cash flow at the start of the project.
You want to charge for everything you do on the project. Charge for your pre-production, your production & post-production. Charge for any marketing stuff you do, make sure you charge for rentals. If you are hiring some other crew, you want to pay their salaries out of that as well.
Also, because you are running a business, you want to be making a profit on this project, so make sure you add some money on top of that to help make a profit.
When I invoice for the final 50%, I will also add on the costs of any expenses such as travel and accommodation. I will keep the receipts to show that client.
The other way that I charge for client projects is through a retainer.
I will only use a retainer if the project has a big scope, and is going to take months and months to complete.
Usually, a retainer will be a fixed term, and this could be anything from 2 to 3 months, to 6 months to a year, or even longer.
When doing retainer work, I will charge the client for x amount of hours per month. This could be 30 hours, 40 hours, 50 hours, it all depends on what the client needs.
Because it is a fixed term contract and I know there is going to be money coming in, to make it a good deal for both the client and myself, I offer them a discount on that service. So if I usually charge £50 per hour of work, I could charge £40 instead to give the client a discount.
Going with a retainer is a win-win for both you and the client. You give them a discount on your services, and you also get the security of knowing that the money is going to be coming in every month for x amount of months.
I always send out the first invoice before I start any work, and that is for 50% of the first month's costs.
Each month after that, I will send the rest of the bill to them at the end of the month. I will also send over andy expenses accrued over the month, such as travel and accommodation. I will provide the client with those receipts.
When doing retainer work, I also like to provide the client with a document that breaks down the amount of time I have spent on each area of the project. That way the client knows exactly where their money is being spent.
So there we go, that's some quick tips on how you can charge your clients for video work. Talking about proposals and giving them multiple options, and then how you go about billing for this project, whether it is a retainer or a per project contract.


22 1If you have to choose between a good reputation and great wealth, choose a good reputation. 2The rich and the poor have this in common: the LORD made them both. 3Sensible people will see trouble coming and avoid it, but an unthinking person will walk right into it and regret it later. 4Obey the LORD, be humble, and you will get riches, honor, and a long life. 5If you love your life, stay away from the traps that catch the wicked along the way. 6 Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life. 7Poor people are slaves of the rich. Borrow money and you are the lender's slave. 8If you plant the seeds of injustice, disaster will spring up, and your oppression of others will end. 9Be generous and share your food with the poor. You will be blessed for it. 10Get rid of a conceited person, and then there will be no more arguments, quarreling, or name-calling. 11If you love purity of heart and graciousness of speech, the king will be your friend. 12The LORD sees to it that truth is kept safe by disproving the words of liars. 13Lazy people stay at home; they say a lion might get them if they go outside. 14Adultery is a trap—it catches those with whom the LORD is angry. 15Children just naturally do silly, careless things, but a good spanking will teach them how to behave. 16If you make gifts to rich people or oppress the poor to get rich, you will become poor yourself. The Thirty Wise Sayings 17Listen, and I will teach you what the wise have said. Study their teachings, 18and you will be glad if you remember them and can quote them. 19I want you to put your trust in the LORD; that is why I am going to tell them to you now. 20I have written down thirty sayings for you. They contain knowledge and good advice, 21and will teach you what the truth really is. Then when you are sent to find it out, you will bring back the right answer. -1- 22Don't take advantage of the poor just because you can; don't take advantage of those who stand helpless in court. 23The LORD will argue their case for them and threaten the life of anyone who threatens theirs. -2- 24Don't make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. 25You might learn their habits and not be able to change. -3- 26Don't promise to be responsible for someone else's debts. 27If you should be unable to pay, they will take away even your bed. -4- 28Never move an old property line that your ancestors established. -5- 29Show me someone who does a good job, and I will show you someone who is better than most and worthy of the company of kings.

As the evidence increasingly reveals that much of the heterosexual HIV transmission in southern and east Africa takes place within marriage or cohabitation, there is growing recognition of the need for culturally sensitive, evidence-based HIV prevention programs that address the needs of couples in long-term relationships. Currently, "positive health, dignity, and prevention" (PHDP) models focus primarily on the individual. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) aims to contribute to the evidence base for couples-centered PHDP programming by evaluating a recently modified version of The Faithful House curriculum, which was tailored to focus on strengthening the relationships of couples living with HIV.

Mayor of London investing £300k in Barking high streets
Published: 5:23 PM March 4, 2015 Updated: 7:06 AM October 14, 2020
Money from the Mayors High Street Fund will be spent on Barking market. - Credit: Archant
Barking Market is set for a major facelift as part of almost £300,000 of investment from the Mayor of London.
New designed market gateways will be financed by Boris Johnson in a bid to draw custom and footfall from Barking station as part of the Mayor's High Street Fund, it was announced yesterday.
A total of £291,250 has been set aside for a suite of projects in Barking, which will see a new layout, curved hanging lighting and new business consultants to work with the market management.
Cash will also be spent on turning the area around the Grade-II former Magistrates Court, in East Street, into a "hub" that will connect with Short Blue Place, home to the Technical Skills Academy, opposite.
Also proposed are weekend events to parade between the three sites showcasing the diverse culture of the area, with a programme of outdoor theatre and cinema.
Barking and Dagenham Council will match-fund the fit out of affordable workspace for eleven creative industries in the creative quarter.
The money was set aside as part of a £9million funding pot for the capital, with more than £285,000 still available in the second round of the High Street Fund for community-led projects.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "The imagination, enterprise and creativity of Londoners has shone through in the array of ideas that were put forward to the High Street Fund.
"London's high streets are no longer about retail alone and I am thrilled to be supporting projects that seek to diversify and unlock opportunities in our most prized urban assets."

You often want to be honest and trustworthy. Many men and women are not willing to completely trust anything they read online. If you have advertisements for merchandise that you do not genuinely believe in, your readers will be capable to tell, and have far more damaging thoughts about what you are writing.
Write-up marketing is a great way to get your website noticed. With the push for valuable content material on the world wide web, sites that provide absolutely nothing to visitors swiftly fail. Create good articles to improve your visibility on search engine outcome pages. The far better the site, the larger the ranking will turn into.
To hold your post-advertising efforts fresh, vary the formats of your articles often. Do not get complacent and stuff new content material into the same formula over and over. Use tip lists, how-to's, anecdotes and other archetypes to add variety to your articles. Not only will vary article formats retain your readers' interest, but also you will uncover them more interesting to produce this way.
Schedule your past postings on your calendar, and stick to them. Regularly updating can be 1 of the most difficult tasks to manage when you create articles. Writing them on your schedule, like you would a perform schedule, can give you the reminders and motivation you require to succeed at offering new articles on a regular basis.
For report advertising and marketing campaigns incorporating a blog, soliciting guest bloggers can boost targeted traffic. By inviting a respected blogger to post to their blogs, savvy article marketers can draw in fresh readers and enhance their overall exposure. Guest blogging works greatest when both the guest and the host have a reputation for delivering helpful, trustworthy articles.
As stated before, report marketing is one of the simplest and fastest approaches for organizations to attract new buyers. Article marketing and advertising utilizes articles written by firms that feature a topic relative to their product. There are a couple of items you must keep in mind when making use of article marketing, and if you bear in mind the suggestions from this post, then you can place post-advertising to excellent use.


The focus in data science is bottom-up from the data, building catalogs. Automation of metadata discovery and refactoring is even more important. Obviously raw data has value. But the structure and the meaning of the data comes from the metadata and are business critical. Welcome to a happy hour in the metadata lab!

I don't remember ever feeling the pure joy that I felt during and after the retreat. On the way to the airport I felt like I was looking at the world like a child does. I was excited and genuinely interested to see the sites. Before I was more robotic like 'okay it's a building what's next.' I'm 55 years old and I think the last time I felt like this, well actually I don't remember! The inner freedom and power I felt will stay with me forever and I'm excited to keep doing the work.
Mada's extraordinary being and her great support, through her book as well as her online courses, the intensives and her retreats are fast super highway ways of working on your spiritual journey of awakening to a life full of magic and awareness.
I came to the retreat for my daughter who was diagnosed with Leukemia. There are many medical professionals who believe that Leukemia is a result of the unresolved emotional issues resulting from a devastating loss. In my daughter's case, her mother passed away. Mada's retreat has freed my daughter from the suppressed cell memories that she should not be happy.
I have been to several retreats and workshops, but nothing comes close to this one. I have been on this path for 3-4 years and I feel that this retreat with Mada has given me more insight and awareness than all else combined.

'Her Eternal Moonlight': 'Sailor Moon' Fans, Stand Up And Be Counted
Steven Savage and Bonnie Walling's study of 'Sailor Moon' fandom documents the way the show transformed a generation of young women, and how they transformed it right back
By Serdar Yegulalp | October 03, 2016 | Share: | No comments
Disclaimer: I am personally acquainted with both authors of this work, and provided feedback on a pre-publication version of the manuscript.
In 1977, when the United States was freshly reeling from Watergate and Vietnam, when it was not only fashionable to sneer but seemed downright mandatory to do so, rock critic Lester Bangs lost his friend Peter Laughner to a drug overdose. To Bangs, the drugs were not the real culprit; they were a symptom of what he saw as "the most intense worship of nihilism and deathtripping in all marketable forms" — a cultural scene that demanded disaffectation, cynicism, disgust, contrarian antiheroics. "It may be time," Bangs wrote, "in spite of all indications to the contrary from the exterior society, to begin thinking in terms of heroes again, of love instead of hate, of energy instead of violence, of strength instead of cruelty, of action instead of reaction."
Here and there, in the likes of everything from Sailor Moon to Steven Universe to Adventure Time, we are seeing a new kind of popular culture come into vogue. How that comes to be for any one fandom, is a process worth documenting, the better to learn how to make it happen again and again. Her Eternal Moonlight, a new study of Sailor Moon fandom — specifically, its female fandom — is an attempt to be part of that process.
Denizens of the Moon Kingdom
Her Eternal Moonlight isn't an attempt to analyze Sailor Moon as such, as there have been any number of works focused on that over the years. Rather, it's a study of the impact of Sailor Moon on its female fans in North America — an attempt to preserve, in the fan's own words, what it was about this show that made it into such a cultural focal point for the women who watched it and made it a part of their lives.
Authors Steven Savage and Bonnie Walling chose to tackle this material as a way to bring a kind of attention to something they felt had a lot of cultural familiarity in certain circles, but not the right kind of analysis. "Despite its massive popularity," they write, "Sailor Moon had become a sort of cultural wallpaper, a background noise you got used to. People were so used to it that it was just kind of there, taken for granted... [T]he Senshi just hadn't generated as much analysis as we felt was warranted." Doubly so given how Sailor Moon left a major dent in mainstream American pop culture that wasn't always visible face-on.
For those who know Sailor Moon only in passing or not at all, the first part of Her Eternal Moonlight runs quickly through the show's basic premise (crybaby teen gains powers, gets friends, falls in love, saves world), its origins as a successful manga, and its roots in the magical-girl phenomenon that had already swept Japan. The real meat of the book, though, is in examining the reactions of a cadre of different female fans to the show — how they first bumped into it, how some at first ignored it but later circled back to it, how some were struck immediately by it. When the show mattered to people, it really mattered; those that noticed it not only paid attention to it but let it into their lives.
A particularly valuable aspect of this kind of fan archaeology is documenting all the oddball ways a cultural product like Sailor Moon came to people's attention. Not everyone saw it when it first debuted, and not everyone saw it on TV, either. One fan first encountered the series in its Italian incarnation, and then picked up on it once it came Stateside via Toonami. This led to a minor complaint on my part: the book is not always clear about the timeframes for its case studies — e.g., whether the people in question were first exposed to Sailor Moon when it originally appeared, or later on. If this sounds like a nitpick, it's only because such chronologies would have helped us better frame how a given fan's relationship to the show could be mapped against its presence in popular cultural generally.
Girls are doing it for themselves — who else will?
Reading the book's case studies of how Sailor Moon had touched its fans left me with the sense that they fit into roughly two categories. First was how it changed them on the inside — how encountering the show and its characters provided its audience with a way to re-evaluate themselves. Second was how it gave those fans a context to encounter each other, and to transform each others' lives as well.
Savage and Walling also take a chapter to talk about how Sailor Moon benefited from being a fandom that came to the attention of the West right around the time of the Internet's ascension. You couldn't have asked for a better way for a property that rarefied (at least, at first) to be preserved and transmitted between its fans. The same goes for the way the Internet promoted the transformative use of Sailor Moon by way of fanfiction.
The obvious conclusion is that a big part of Sailor Moon's enduring value comes from the way its female fans have made it their own. The less obvious conclusion, one Savage and Walling spend a fair amount of time marveling over, is how the opposite is also true: how at least as much of the show's value comes from the way it has made over its fans. Most of us are able to cite stories about how a given fictional character was a role model for someone (ourselves or someone else); the authors point towards women who felt that much freer to be themselves, without apology, after encountering "crybaby" Usagi, or the "bookworm" Ami.
This matters a lot more than it might look at first glance. One of the things Savage and Walling found their subjects citing again and again was how the show provided female audience members with a feeling of being represented — that for the longest time, they didn't feel like there was something that spoke directly and unashamedly to them as girls, let alone women. Then along came a show that did nothing but that — and a show that came from entirely outside the usual cultural circuit, to boot — and it wasn't hard to see how it lionized their attention. Where before, they had to strive to see themselves reflected in something aimed at them; now, they could scarcely help it, and that was a good thing.
The bending and the shaping
One of the dangers of writing about the sociology of fandom is how it leads to one of two writings styles — mindless gushing or cracker-dry academic jargon. The book avoids both of those extremes — it's chatty, but not mindlessly so, and it elects whenever possible to just talk directly about the transformations and empowerments rather than drawing larger or potentially more ponderous conclusions about it.
Within all that, though, lies one potentially valid criticism: Is there anyone in fandom over the age of majority who hasn't by now seen with their own eyes how positive and transformational fandom is? Isn't just putting this stuff on display too easy? I would argue three things: 1) no, there are a great many who haven't yet seen such things with their own eyes, and 2) that said, there are a great many who might only know about it in the sketchiest of ways. And 3), putting the details on the record matters, even if they seem like tiresomely familiar details to those of us who have lived with this scene for years or even decades on end.
If fandom's door is intended to stand open to all comers, by that token there will always be people walking in said door that know nothing of these things firsthand. What's more, there may not always be other people to take them by the hand and educate them. Female fans of all kinds have historically been on the losing end of such things, whether because fandoms were nominally gate-kept by men or because there wasn't a fandom that approached them as women first.
A book is not a substitute for being welcomed into fandom personally, but it can close the gap. Such gap-closing measures matter all the more if the New Popular Culture, if you want to call it that, is meant to value inclusion, life-affirmation, and personal transformation as explicit values rather than just implied ones. Showing how it happened, not just telling, makes a lot of difference. Hence, this book.

A look into the history of the Pike monument in Washington reveals that it was planned, commissioned, and paid for by Scottish Right Freemasons. When a group representing Union soldiers found that its erection in the capital was planned, they protested to Congress, but Congress nevertheless approved of its placement within the city, "after Masons assured them it would depict Pike as a civilian, not a soldier" [ Jacob, Kathryn Allamong (1998). Testament to Union: Civil War Monuments in Washington, D.C. JHU Press: JHU Press. pp. 59–62 ].
Portrait of Albert Pike as a Masonic leader and not as a general in the military. Pike stands holding a book in his proper left hand, his proper right arm extended slightly and his proper left knee bent. He is dressed in a double-breasted vest and long coat. He has a full beard and moustache. The sculpture rests atop a tall base adorned with a bronze sculpture of a female figure representing the Goddess of Masonry. She is dressed in long classical robes and holds up a Masonic banner of the Scottish Rite on a staff with her proper right hand.
Albert Pike was not only a Confederate general, but also a Masonic leader. He was a leader of the Masons for 32 years and authored "Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry." He was also known as a school teacher, poet, newspaper editor and publisher, lawyer, soldier in the Mexican War and a Confederate general. His wide range of interests included the Western adventures, the transcontinental railroad, and Native Americans. This sculpture was authorized by Congress on April 9, 1898 and was erected by the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. According to the Goode publication, he is the only Confederate general honored by the Masons in Washington, D.C. The sculpture was originally located at the same intersection and was moved in 1972 during construction of the subway or the Dept. of Labor building, but was returned after construction. Washington Granite Monumental Company was responsible for the construction of the base.
I am here to represent the Supreme Council, and in its name to present to the government of the United States this statue. It will long stand as a loving tribute from his brethren of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
We may have readily obtained one of many similar citations from Pike's book from dozens of sources, but we shall give Hoffman credit for this one. Pike was an idolater, Freemasonry is idolatry, and politicians worldwide cooperate with it to this very day.
After we attended the demonstrations in support of the Robert E. Lee monument in New Orleans along with our friends from the League of the South this past May, described in our article The Brattle of New Orleans, we sent several Twitter messages to New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu. One of them, dated for May 20th, read: "Hey @MitchLandrieu I challenge you to remove the statue of 33rd degree Mason Albert Pike, or are you just a tool?" But of course I never received a response, and, of course, the memorial to Albert Pike still stands in New Orleans.
This statue erected in memory of Albert Pike, a 33° Mason, can be found in New Orleans, LA at the intersection of Tulane Ave. and S. Jefferson Davis Pkwy.
Erected April 27, 1957 By the Grand Consistory of La, 32° Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry to Commemorate the Session of the Supreme Council, 33° A.A.S.R. Held in New Orleans on April 25, 1857, when Gen. Albert Pike was Coroneted a 33° Mason and Inspector General Honorary.
In spite of the fact that the inscription clearly links Pike to his role in the Civil War, the monument is not being considered for removal by New Orleans politicians. And like the monument to Pike in Washington, it too was obviously erected by Freemasons.
In the spring of 1862, General Earl Van Dorn ordered him [Pike] to bring his 2,500 Indian troops into northwestern Arkansas. Despite his opposition to the move, Pike obeyed, and his Indian force of about 900 men joined Confederate forces in northwest Arkansas. On March 7–8, 1862, they participated in the Battle of Pea Ridge (a.k.a. Elkhorn Tavern), led by Pike. Pike proved a poor leader, and he failed to keep his force engaged with the enemy or in check. Charges circulated widely that the men had stopped their advance to take scalps. After the battle, Pike and his men returned to Indian Territory.
We do not support the removal of any Confederate monument. We esteem even the darkest aspects of our national and ethnic history and culture to be of import, and would wipe none of it from the record or from public view. However if we were compelled to take one Confederate's monuments down, it may be the monuments to Albert Pike, the idolater, Judaizer and Freemason.
In his exoteric history of Freemasonry, Morals and Dogma, Albert Pike claims ''All truly dogmatic religions have issued from the Kabalah and return to it; everything scientific and grand in the religious dreams of all the illuminati, Jacob Boehme, Swedenborg, Saint-Martin, and others, is borrowed from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and their Symbols."
The fact that Albert Pike even has a monument in Washington D.C., and that Pike monuments everywhere seem to be untouchable, is evidence that the political elites have an agenda that is different than the narrative which the media presents to the general public. The media is another vehicle in this agenda, because it ignores the glaring hypocrisy of the politicians. The bonds between Freemasons and government clearly transcend the professed national values. So we would not really be quite surprised if all Confederate monuments are removed everywhere, but the monuments to Pike still stand. We would be more startled if any of the Pike monuments are actually removed, even though that we would love to see.
On an unrelated note, another monument with Jewish connections and about which people have inquired is the Judah P. Benjamin memorial in Belle Chasse. While it is apparently on the southeast edge of New Orleans, and it is considered to be a part of the New Orleans metropolitan area, the town where this monument is located is actually in Plaquemines Parish and under a local government that is outside of the jurisdiction of Mitch Landrieu. The beasts at #TakeEmDownNOLA simply do not have the degree of influence outside of New Orleans that they have within the bounds of the corrupt city and its Tammany-style government. We would love to see the monuments to Judah Benjamin torn down as well, but here it seems that the wily, wandering Jew forestalls his judgment once again.

Q: 380/220 vs 220/380 we just purchased a generator, and we hired a team to hook it up to our office, they recently encountered a problem when they tried to run the generator, it would generate 380V, instead of the 220V needed.
The voltage of our area is 220V (Philippines). I did my own research, and came across some generators with a voltage of 220/380V. So my question is, is 380/220V same as 220/380V? or are there any differences?
Generator(Cummins)/Alternator(Marathon) specs are 375Kva,380/220V,60Hz,1800Rpm, 3 phase,4 lines.
Thank you!

A: It sounds like a problem with how your team have wired up the motor.

Source: http://www.electricalengineeringtoolbox.com/2014/08/electrical-power-in-3-phase-and-1-phase.html
It sounds like they have made a wye connection rather than a delta connection. Because if the motor is a 380/220. Then that means that it should be able to output 380 or 220 volt *. \$\frac{380}{220}\approx\sqrt3\$. And as you can see in the image above to the right, you are getting \$\sqrt3×220V\approx 380V\$
*I am pretty rusty regarding large motors, so correct me if I'm wrong.

The French Settlement Of Vermont: 1609-1929
By Sarah Rooker on December 18, 2013 in Flow of History
by Elise A. Guyette
Imagine it is 1609. The green mountains, rounded by the grinding of a two-mile high glacier, form a backbone between a river valley to the east and a lake valley to the west. Trees, some six feet in diameter and two hundred feet tall, grow in such abundance that in many places sunlight cannot reach the ground. The ancient trails of the Abenaki cut through the forests, past old decaying trees and abundant mushrooms covering the forest floor. Patches of sunlight warm the ground where the original people built villages and cleared land for garden plots, deer grazing and berry bushes. For the first time ever, three Frenchmen canoe up Lake Bitawbagok (later renamed Champlain) with high mountains on each side. Algonquin and Huron people from the north are their guides as they search for a water route to the riches of Asia. The beautiful islands, huge fish, and abundance of vines and maize growing on the shores amaze the Frenchmen. Samuel de Champlain describes it like this in his journal:
"The vines are finer than I have seen anywhere else. Many chestnuts — and I had seen none before — grow only on the lakeshore. Many kinds of fish are in great abundance. . . . I saw a chaosarou, 5 feet long, thigh-thick, its head as big as two fists, a beak two and a half feet long, with a double row of sharp, dangerous teeth. Its body is like a pike's, but its scales are so tough a poignard (spear) cannot pierce them."
This day in 1609 is the beginning of the European story in Vermont.
When French ships first started sailing to North America, some of the passengers and crew freely chose to search for the fabled Northwest Passage (and later, furs) in hopes of becoming rich. They may have had a push from their families who had left much of their wealth to an older brother or they may have been pulled by hopes of grand adventures. Others on the ships may have been forced out of prison and onto ships to provide a strong crew for the voyage. Married women may have freely chosen to accompany their husbands or not. The children had no choice.
Others, such as religious women, or nuns, and Jesuit priests may have freely chosen the Americas as their duty to God. The filles du roi (daughters of the King) were orphaned girls sent to the Americas as servants or wives for the Frenchmen. How much choice did they have? Probably little — they had a bleak future in France. Enslaved Africans forced north from French colonies in the Caribbean had no choice in their migration. Those escaping had the tremendous push of the horrors of slavery and the pull of freedom to help them with their decisions. With conquest and colonization, the native peoples were often pushed out of their homelands and many became refugees with other nations.
At first, however, the encounters were peaceful as each group gradually learned about the other. In the beginning, the French used their old ways to sustain them (as do most immigrants): their way of dressing, the shapes of their buildings, their tools, and especially their Catholic religion. As they built trading posts and garrisons along the Champlain Valley, they also built chapels and brought Jesuit priests with them to try and convert the native peoples.
Cultural diffusion ensued with each new contact. They traded and took from each other what was useful. The French learned about corn and squash, wooden houses (the forests in France were largely destroyed by this time), tobacco, canoes, snowshoes, beavers and the uses of their pelts. The native peoples learned about wool, cotton, guns, and copper pots, which they cut into ornaments. Out of this borrowing back and forth a unique blend of French-Canadian culture formed that eventually flowed into what is now Vermont.
The first fort in Vermont was Forte Ste. Anne in Isle LaMotte. Small French settlements began to grow near the trading posts and forts, modeled after the feudal system in Europe in which the King granted land to seigneurs (noblemen and women). The first successful seigneur in Vermont, Sieur de Hocquart, was granted land at the southern end of Lake Champlain, across from Fort St. Frederic, now Crown Point, N.Y. Named Hocquart (HAH-core), it was the first European settlement in Vermont (c1741). The settlers called themselves habitants (ha-bee-TAHN) — those who live here permanently.
This and other small French settlements in Vermont that grew up around trading posts and garrisons thrived until the Seven Years War. After the final English victory in 1759, the French surrendered Canada, including their portion of Vermont, and all their lands in the Mississippi River Valley. (The French later regained control of Louisiana and sold it to the United States in 1803.) The British now ruled Vermont & Canada, but clues to French settlement survived in place names along the Champlain Valley. Hocquart was named Chimney Point after the chimneys left standing when the habitants burned the village and fled the approaching British soldiers. Other names that survived British conquest were: The Lamoille River (once la mouette, French for gull), Lake Champlain, Mallett's Bay (after Captain Mallette, a French settler) and Isle LaMotte (after the seigneur of that island).
Some French Canadians, who disliked their old enemy, sided with Vermonters during the Revolutionary War to fight against the British and stayed after the war. France sent ships, sailors, and money to the American rebels to help them beat the British. In memory of the French help during the Revolution, Vermont towns bear names such as Montpelier, Orleans, Calais, Vergennes (after the Comte de Vergennes), and St. Johnsbury (after Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur, the French consul general to the United States at the time).
As British immigrants continued to flow into Canada, French-speaking people became a minority in the Province of Quebec. The Patriote Rebellion (1837) against the British, discrimination, worn-out soil, and crop failures caused many French-Canadians to move south into Franklin and Orleans counties to farm. Later, many found work in Vermont's mills. Because of crop failures and unemployment in Quebec after the American Civil War, thousands more came to farm and work in the mills and factories. So many immigrated, they were sometimes pejoratively called the "Chinese of the Eastern States" and alleged to have "le mal des Etats-Unis" [sickness for the United States].
The mill owners offered the newcomers low wages, which they had to accept to get jobs. The wages were so low that almost everyone in the family had to work full time, including children as young as six. When the old immigrants (Irish and Yankees) went on strike for higher wages, many owners went to Quebec to recruit French workers. The owners paid the new immigrants' train fares and brought them into Vermont full of hope for a new life. Of course, what awaited them was anger and discrimination. Bitter friction between the new French Canadian workers and the settled Irish and Yankee workers lasted for decades.
The flow of French Canadians over the border continued until the Great Depression of 1929, when immigration from all over the world came to a standstill. Like all immigrant groups, the French Canadians tended to stay together in their neighborhoods where there was a sense of belonging. They could speak their own language and practice their customs without feeling alienated. In this way, they held on to their culture and prospered. In addition to large French populations in the Champlain Valley, Newport and St. Johnsbury were centers of French culture on the eastern side of the mountains. Today, French Canadian descendants are the major farming group in the state and the largest minority group as a whole in Vermont.
