Q: Cordova google-analytics-plugin causing phonegap iOS build to fail I installed the cordova google-analytics plugin (1) for my phonegap app and it works fine with android but it causes my iOS build to fail (if I remove the plugin then I can run the iOS build successfully again. When I run phonegap build ios I get the following errors:
Undefined symbols for architecture i386:                                                                                [115/15414]

A: Try removing the plugin, building ios and then readding the plugin. Rebuilding ios after that might do the trick.
If that fails, try removing the plugin and the platform and add again to rebuild.
The second option worked for me.

Only Yesterday (1991) – Film Review
Published on January 23, 2020 January 23, 2020 by icthusbookcorner
"Perhaps my fifth-grade self is trying to tell me a new way to fly."
Only Yesterday by Isao Takahata is an animation about Taeko Okajima, a young woman in the 80's trying to get a sense of both herself and the world surrounding her. The film is set during two timelines, the primary one occurring in 1982 when the main character is 27 years old and working in an office in Tokyo.
Taeko is the youngest person in her household, that includes a lifeless father, a very concerned mother, a strangely distant grandmother and two older sisters. Our main character has all kinds of memories of her fifth-grade self, struggles with young love, dealing with puberty, an early love for theatre and other frustrations and joys of being a kid in the late 1960s. But the one memories that struck me the most was one of the family trying their first pineapple and figuring out how to eat it. This shows the film is capable of finding beauty and charm in ordinary experiences.
The characters in Only Yesterday manage to have individuality and autonomy while being part of a whole, which is remarkable. The film is subtle and cleverly structured and the ever-increasing interaction with the surroundings cames of as a form of love for nature.
There is really nothing left for me to say, just go watch it. PLEASE
I gave this film 8.5 out of 10.
Bye! Gotta watch 'em all!

Daniel 6

>
Základný text

> Vysokí úradníci a satrapovia sa usilovali nájsť proti Danielovi dôvod na obžalobu v úradnej záležitosti. Nemohli však nájsť nijaký dôvod ani zlý počin, pretože Daniel bol dôveryhodný a nedopúšťal sa nijakej nedbanlivosti ani zlého konania.  (Dan 6,5)

Keď si Médo-Perzia podriadila Babylon, Dárius Médsky rozpoznal Danielovu múdrosť a prizval ho, aby sa stal súčasťou novej vlády. Skúsený prorok v zrelom veku natoľko vynikal vo svojej službe, že ho nový kráľ poveril vedením celej médsko-perzskej vlády.

Pri čítaní šiestej kapitoly sa dozvedáme, že Daniel musel čeliť tomu, čo by sa právom dalo nazvať ako prvý hriech – závisť. Na konci príbehu môžeme vidieť, že Daniel si nielen verne plnil svoje svetské povinnosti, ale bol verný predovšetkým svojmu Bohu. Jeho vernosť Bohu mala veľký vplyv na jeho konanie a postoje v ostatných oblastiach.

Danielova skúsenosť s prenasledovaním môže slúžiť ako príklad toho, s čím by mal vo svojom živote počítať Boží ľud – a najmä v čase konca. Myšlienkou príbehu nie je uistiť Božích verných, že ich Boh vytrhne a zachráni zo skúšok a z utrpenia. Je však uistením o tom, že v konflikte so zlom dobro napokon zvíťazí a Boh obháji a pomstí svoj ľud.

Total War™: ATTILA – Age of Charlemagne Campaign Pack
Total War™: ATTILA - Age of Charlemagne Campaign Pack
Huge new Campaign, set at the dawn of the Middle Ages.
Enter the Medieval era with Knights, Housecarls and a new illuminated UI art style.
8 Playable factions with all new Units, Tech and Buildings.
New game features with Story-based and Kingdom Events.
The world lays in tatters, exhausted, bleeding, scarred and burnt, the people desperate. But even after the apocalypse there are men willing to give everything to return to light, to knowledge, to civilisation. Whatever the cost, and whatever the means...
It is the age of a chosen few, an age of greatness, when the first true kings built vast kingdoms from the ashes of past empires... it is the Age of Charlemagne.
The year is 768AD and, after the death of his father, Charlemagne is to share the Frankish throne alongside his brother. A situation that ill-befits a man of his vision, and their relationship clouds as he feels the fiery blood of his grandfather, Charles Martel, stir in his veins.
Friends, enemies and opportunity populate a continent tired of conflict, the people eager for peace. Charlemagne finds himself at the head of a new age of education, religion and warfare, and sees all as tools to unite, stabilise… and expand.
The Saxons, the Saracens and the Vikings will all have something to say to a man of such ambition.
It will take guile, charm, intelligence and ruthlessness to succeed above all others.
Charles the Great, King of the Franks, the Father of Europe.
Will you make your mark in his image, or will you become your own king?
A Unique Campaign with New Gameplay Mechanics
Age of Charlemagne is an epic expansion for Total War: ATTILA, set in the Middle Ages on an sprawling new campaign map of Europe.
There have been kings and kingdoms before, but this is a time where truly great men united entire nations, built lasting legacies and defined what it meant to be a king. Can you be counted amongst them?
You'll face a new age, but an exhausted world, weary of conflict and battle. New technologies and new ways of waging war will only get you so far. A good king is a shrewd man, who knows precisely how far his people can be pushed.
Do not mistake a reluctance to go to war as a sign that a nation is unprepared for it. Europe remains a melting pot of conflicting ideologies and long held distrust. While the old Empire is now a fading memory, the threats and consequences of its passing echo, resonating in new dangers and pressures for fledgling nations.
Opportunity presents itself in tying together vast new kingdoms, powerful new states that can be marshalled under a banner of civilisation drawn from ashes. Greatness awaits you, if you have the steel and vision of Charlemagne.
New Campaign Map and UI
The brand new Age of Charlemagne Campaign map is focussed in on Europe from the year 768AD. With 52 conquerable provinces, it provides a detailed and vibrant geopolitical starting position, offering hundreds of hours of potential gameplay.
The User Interface is now resplendent in a style inspired by the art of the Middle Ages. Influences ranging from illuminated manuscripts and early stained glass work will lend colour and atmosphere to your campaign.
Playable Factions
Age of Charlemagne includes a diverse selection of playable factions, each one featuring its own faction traits, unit roster and unique and challenging conditions under which they can be named a 'kingdom' in their own right.
Each will be exclusively revealed in the weeks up to release day on www.twitch.tv/totalwarofficial, stay tuned for details or check back here just before release.
New Units
Age of Charlemagne includes all new units to better reflect the advancing warfare of the period, characterised by more heavily armed and armoured infantry and an increasing prevalence of cavalry of all categories, especially the emergence of knights in the Norman style for the first time.
With over 300 new units, you will have the opportunity to recruit iconic military forces of the period, such as Thegns, Fyrd Axemen, Scola Knights, Berber Jinetes, Gazehounds and the feared Seax-armed Saxon warriors.
War Weariness
The sign of a great true king is in knowing how far your people can be pushed. Wars are significant and dramatic events between kingdoms, and should not be undertaken lightly. The fewer wars you wage the better your people will respond, as frequent and drawn out conflict will rapidly damage morale and your armies' integrity.
A shrewd ruler will seek to bring peace quickly and decisively.
Unique Kingdom and Story Events
Each playable faction has a unique set of challenging 'Kingdom' requirements to meet for the dedicated and shrewd player. Once achieved, you will be able to declare a new Kingdom name for your faction, reflecting or altering history in your wake.
In addition, each faction will receive tailored narrative Story Events, offering you distinct challenges and dilemmas as your Campaign unfolds. Historically-inspired, some choices will lead you further to that faction's original destiny, or you may choose to carve a new path of your own.
New Technologies and Buildings
Age of Charlemagne features many technologies and buildings that reflect the new period; significantly, you'll encounter and leverage those that inspire the emerging ideas of Feudalism and Chivalry as your campaign progresses.
Many buildings also now give bonuses to adjacent provinces as well as their own, allowing for more specialisation within the different geographic areas of your kingdom and chaining combinations of benefits across your lands.
In addition, while conflict will always dog you, victory conditions that reward a less military-focussed approach are achievable; testing your mettle as both a compassionate and cunning ruler.
Agents and Skills
You will find Agents more specialised than before, with Assassins, Spies and Priests (or Imams) focused on a more powerful but specific ability set rather than being more useful in all situations.
Alongside your Generals, Agents also receive all new skill trees with more variation in the branches available to them. This provides greater choices in how you develop and specialise them over time.
Finally, the new Army and Navy Legacies will focus on bonuses that reward distinct playstyles.

All the best 'juke-box musicals' are biographical – Jersey Boys, Sunny Afternoon, Beautiful, Tina – and you can add this to the list, but it's edgier than the others, and has a political dimension too. It also has a towering performance from Arinze Kene as Bob Marley. Though I lived through his active years in London, and liked his music, I wouldn't call myself a fan. After hearing the songs again after so long, though, my appreciation of them, particularly lyrically, has grown significantly.
It tells his story from a troubled childhood, effectively abandoned by both his parents until he was 6, through his first recording in Jamaica, the formation of The Wailers, marriage to Rita, adoption of the Rastafarian religion, his first period in London from 1972-76, attempted assassination back in Jamaica as he becomes involved in politics and his second period in London up to his untimely death in the US at 36. Lee Hall's excellent book makes this into a very lucid story and makes no attempt to bury the flaws, notably his treatment of the women in his life.
Clint Dyer's impeccable direction has bucketloads of energy, with the music propelling Marley's story forward, providing the anchor and emotional drive. Chloe Lamford's wall-of-speakers design, enabling performances on three levels, a supersized version of the one in Sunny Afternoon, is matched by a wall of sound, with the bass vibrating my stalls seat. It's a great ensemble, with Gabrielle Brooks shining as Rita, and Arinze Kene mesmerising as Marley, with vocal and dance skills matching his superb acting. I've loved every one of the four previous performances of his I've seen – One Night in Miami, Girl from the North Country, Misty and Death of a Salesman – but this is very special indeed.
The term juke-box musical is often used as a derogatory one, and the genre is sometimes derided, so I'll call this by a much more accurate term – a musical biography – and it's an extraordinary example of this genre. Final call-out for the programme, just about the only one in the West End worth the money!
Death of England

No other art form could tell this story so well. It would have nowhere near the same impact on screen, big or small, or on the page. Clint Dyer & Roy Williams' one-man monologue takes you hostage at close quarters, and Rafe Spall inhabits his character Michael in a towering performance of energy, passion and playfulness.
Michael is a lovable Londoner. He loves his mum, but worships his dad, who has a flower stall in the market. He's a bit contemptuous of his sister. His best friend Delroy is black. Football is his game and the family team are Leyton Orient – and England, obviously. These are open, warm-hearted people, salt of the earth. We see the best of them. Then they are confronted by a political choice and a resurgent England head for the World Cup and for some patriotism becomes nationalism and racism and we see the worst of them.
Rafe Spall prowls the cross-shaped platforms, with almost every member of the audience in touching distance, making eye contact with virtually all of them. There's no set as such, but the design team cleverly integrate the enclosed space with lighting and sound, with objects left all over the auditorium that Michael uses to illustrate his story. His character engages with us, banters, cheekily. It's funny and charming, until Michael has a meltdown at a funeral when it becomes angry and passionate and incredibly powerful. These people have been used by other more powerful people, which has made some of them ugly.
I've long admired Roy Williams' writing and here, with co-writer Clint Dyer, his ear for natural dialogue shines once more. Dyer directs too, and his visceral staging, and Spall's extraordinary performance, create this testosterone-fuelled world, bringing alive the unseen characters and propelling the personal story and its socio-political parallels. I was enthralled and captivated for 100 minutes.
It was a co-incidence that I had returned to see Mike Bartlett's Albion the night before and I was struck by how much they seemed like companion pieces. Michael and Albion's Audrey couldn't be more different, but they are affected and infected by the same thing. Two state of the nation plays, poles apart but resonating in the same world. Theatre doing what it does best, putting up a mirror to help us see and understand the world in which we live.
Absolutely unmissable.

This August Wilson play, based on a real-life character – the so-called mother of blues – was his first big success in 1984, getting its first London production five years later in the Cottesloe Theatre. It became the first of his 10-play cycle covering the black American experience (each in a different decade of the 20th century) to be staged, though two are set before it. This very welcome revival is in the much bigger Lyttelton next door.
The whole play takes place in a Chicago recording studio in the 1920's. Ma Rainey's a bit of a diva who turns up an hour late for the recording session insisting that her stuttering nephew sings the intro to the title song using a different arrangement, that songs are changed, that her car (damaged en route) is repaired and returned to the studio and that coca cola is fetched from the deli before she starts. The band attempt to rehearse while they are waiting, but horn player Levee's heart isn't in it; he's more concerned with his ambition and his new shoes.
The rest of the play moves between the band room and the studio, with Ma's manager and the record producer regularly leaving the elevated control room, usually to argue with or placate Ma. Her daughter, the delightfully named Dussie Mae, flirts with Levee – well, more than flirts! The band banter and fight, and occasionally relate a real experience of horrific racist abuse and violence which is particularly chilling contained within the lighter tone. You'd expect the play to revolve around its title character, but in fact it's heart is in the band room scenes, with their stories and relationships, which take a dramatic turn at the end.
It's more of a 'slice of life' than a linear plotted play, but it achieves its purpose of taking us to a 20's black American world. It's a touch slow and low-energy in the slightly longer first half, but its still in preview so it may tighten. The Lyttelton is a much less intimate space than the Cottesloe, but Dominic Cooke's production and Ultz design work well, with the long narrow band room rising stage front and the control room like an elevated container, both linked by a metal spiral staircase.
At first I thought the band's actors – an unrecognisable Clint Dyer on trombone, Giles Terera on bass, horn player O-T Fagbenle and Lucian Msamati on piano – were playing live, but I came to the conclusion the music was recorded, which is a great compliment to both their miming and Paul Arditti's sound design. It's a great cast, led by the incomparable Sharon D Clarke, who commands the stage and everyone on it when she is. Fagbenle is a very edgy and passionate Levee and Msamati is superb as Toledo, a role unlike any I've seen him play before.
I have to confess my memories of the 1989 production are feint, but its great to see it again and the audience reception was very positive indeed.
The Royale

I didn't book for this play as I don't like boxing. Fortunately, I realised soon enough that it was about much more than boxing. Inspired by the life of black American boxer Jack Johnson in the early 20th century, it's a gripping, intense drama with five stunning performances in a production that oozes authenticity.
Our fictional boxer Jay is black heavyweight world champion at a time of segregation. He tours the US with his trainer Wynton and white boxing promoter Max, fighting other back boxers, one of which – Fish – becomes his sparring partner. Max sets up the unthinkable – a match with the white world heavyweight champion – though he has to give away virtually all the prize money, whatever the outcome. Jay's big sister Nina turns up and we learn the origin of his motivation and the frightening potential consequences of the battle. Jay could be about to dramatically change society, but he's also putting many lives at risk.
This is played out in a boxing ring (without ropes) without a single blow landed but with an intensity that has you on the edge of your seat throughout. Madani Younis' direction is masterly, with movement that is both elegant and dramatic. James Whiteside's lighting adding much to the atmosphere. Nicholas Pinnock is extraordinary as Jay, physically imposingly with genuine charisma, with Gershwyn Eustache Jnr brilliant as the younger boxer Fish, like a more naive younger version of Jay. Clint Dyer is wonderful as the loyal, supportive trainer and Ewan Stewart is excellent as Max, whose motivation is more ambiguous. We don't see Nina for some time, but she becomes pivotal to the story and Frances Ashman's deeply moving performance is simply superb.
Everything about this evening is crafted to perfection. It's a play that will certainly be in the year's 'Best Of' lists and one you absolutely must catch. Let's hope it can be seen by more people by extension, transfer or filming, but don't wait for that – if there are tickets left, grab them now!

I'm not sure I've ever been so out-of-synch with an audience. This drama is set in Jamaica amongst violent gangs and corrupt coppers. The dialogue is local patois with surtitles on two TV screens in the boxes (which were necessary and helpful but still so fast you didn't catch everything). There were a lot of laughs, but to me nowhere near as many as much of the largely Afro-Caribbean audience found. When it was tragic, sad, cruel, moving, poignant……they laughed. Surreal.
Roy Williams play centres on gang leader Joker, arrested for a murder being investigated by a British policeman of Jamaican origin sent out to help. The local police operates very differently to what he's used to 'at home' with more overt corruption. Joker gets his men to abduct two policemen to trade for his release. The British cop is amazed and horrified when it is clear the local police plan to co-operate to free their men. Further revelations reveal everyone from the most junior officer to the Superintendent is in some way corrupt.
Williams plays have breadth and depth, so in addition to a gripping thriller, we get a cop with a gay son, a culture clash between the Jamaicans and the Brit of Jamaican origin and reflections on colonialism and events post-independence. If you can penetrate the dense patois (and it's often a real struggle) it's rich in narrative and characterisation. There's a lot more going on here than most plays and it's hard to take it all in.
Ultz has designed an authentic police station with Joker present in his second-tier cell throughout proceedings in the station itself. Clint Dyer's staging is fast-paced and very physical with a real sense of danger in the air. The performances are uniformly excellent. For a singer, Goldie makes a great actor. Charles Venn and Ashley Chin are terrific as the younger cops obsessed with the movies and on the make. Trevor Laird (who also doubles up as a petty criminal) and Brian Bovell are excellent as the older, wiser policemen. Against all of this, Derek Elroy has to play fish-out-of-water James and he does so very well.
It took a while for me to get into this, and I felt like a bit of a fish out of water myself, like my namesake character James, but it drew me in and provided gripping drama, something original and something you'd probably only ever see at TRSE. Gone now, but certainly not forgotten.

I know .... I was thinking the same. Really wanted to see how'd they play without Demar and I'm so disappointed. Lowry looks gassed already..... another tough night another tough loss.
He's playing the 2nd most minutes in the league (only LBJ with more).
Hence why LeBron is crying all the time for more help. He knows he'll be physically broken down by the Finals and Lowry is nowhere near the physical specimen or shape that LBJ is in.
We already seen him break down by year end when he was younger and playing less minutes.
Nor will we have homecourt advantage....this is looking like an epic meltdown ahead.

But HELL no. He's a good third/fourth option at best. (Basically what he does when dd is healthy)
Ever since derozan went downs he's supposto to be the guy tht stepped up and showed everybody he needs the ball more.
But he's continually shit the bed. He can't be relied on late to be the go to guy, his effieciency has plummeted, and he's average defensively
He had 18 points on 17 shots wtf. Your a big man, not demar derozan from 2009-2014

We struggle without DeMar because we don't have an offence guys. The way we play narrows our margin for error. That's why you want a stronger system, because that widens the margin for error so you can more easily sustain success when guys are slumping/injured. We're a pretty deep team, and while none of our backups are as good manufacturing tough iso buckets as DeMar, they all bring good things to the table offensively (Carroll being a giant piece of shit is definitely an issue at the moment though). We should be able to beat bad teams without DeMar, or at least perform better than 2-8 over this kind of stretch.
Our offence is run random plays (sometimes basically a weave in the halfcourt) to get someone the ball where they either create in iso or off a high screen. They're pseudo-iso plays where because we don't have guys with the best first step, we need high screens to try and knock the D off balance. And other than the odd play we might run for Ross to get a 3, our shooters mostly stand around stagnant, and we don't run cuts to get guys slashing to the basket because it would get in the way of our driving guards...We haven't seen much change at all over these years.
We play shitty, shitty basketball on both ends, and it's caught up to us in this stretch. We rely on our main guys to keep finding ways to score that are often far too difficult, and Casey has to be the worst defensive "defence-first" coach I've ever seen in all my years watching the NBA.
I'm just ranting, but I don't know how any person could watch Casey coach this team for all these years and see pretty much no progress on either end from a tactical standpoint. Our D only improved significantly last year with Greer. Before anyone points to the first year they made a run, remember that it took Amir playing some of his best basketball to hold that D together, and it was only good for about 2-3 months of that season and was bottom tier the rest of the time.
Anyway...I'm about ready for changes and I'd really like it if Casey was the first change made, but I don't see Masai making such a change mid-season. If we lose in the first round this year, then I'd hope it would finally happen.
Casey's the easiest scapegoat but this team has a small margin of error. Fred Vanvleet was our best player tonight. Take that in folks.
By the same token, DeMar going out is/was also a great opportunity for Casey to show off his coaching skills. Especially for a team considered by many to be one of the deepest in the NBA.

Винтовочный патрон — оружейный патрон, разработанный и предназначенный для использования в длинноствольном стрелковом оружии, главным образом в винтовках и карабинах. Также патроны данного типа широко используются в станковых, ручных и единых пулеметах, в связи с чем их иногда именуют «винтовочно-пулеметными».

История развития
Первые унитарные металлические винтовочные патроны, созданные во второй половине XIX века, снаряжались дымным чёрным порохом. Как правило, они имели унаследованный от гладкоствольных ружей мушкетный калибр 14—16 мм и тупоконечную пулю с цилиндрической гильзой, такими как 14×33 мм R Венцль (Винтовка Венцля), .577 Snider (Снайдер-Энфилд) и 15,24×40 мм R (Винтовка Крнка). Использование таких крупных по современным меркам калибров определялось тем, что первые массовые армейские винтовки из экономических соображений изготавливались путем переделки старых гладкоствольных ружей, имевшихся в большом количестве в армиях того времени. Затем, в 1860-х и в 1870-х годах, европейские армии перешли на патроны несколько меньшего калибра, около 11—12 мм: такие, как 11×59 мм R Gras (Винтовка Гра), .577/450 Martini-Henry (Винтовка Пибоди-Мартини), 10,75×58 мм R (Винтовка Бердана), 11,15×58 мм R (Винтовка Верндля). Использовались они в основном в нарезных однозарядных винтовках, а также в созданных в это время митральезах и первых пулеметах, которые все без исключения использовали стандартные винтовочные патроны. В конце XIX века все европейские армии перешли на винтовочные патроны радикально уменьшенного калибра 6,5—8 мм на более мощном бездымном порохе, снаряжавшихся в магазинные винтовки и пулемёты.

Первые винтовочные пули были безоболочечными и состояли полностью из свинца. Тупоконечные мягкие свинцовые пули того периода, особенно крупных калибров, обладали огромным поражающим действием, поскольку сминались при попадании в цель и наносили очень тяжёлые ранения, фактически являясь экспансивными. Но когда обнаружилось, что такие пули сильно освинцовывают каналы малокалиберных нарезных стволов и срываются со слишком крутых нарезов, их стали производить плакированными — покрытыми оболочкой из более твердого сплава, обычно мельхиора, томпака, латуни, меди или другого материала. Такие оболочечные пули надёжно шли по нарезам и почти не загрязняли ствол, но их останавливающее действие было намного слабее прежних безоболочечных, поскольку они не деформировались при попадании в цель. Кроме того, безоболочечные пули не годились для использования в многозарядных винтовках и тем более пулеметах, поскольку они легко деформировались при подаче, поэтому в современном армейском оружии используются только оболочечные пули. Оболочка пуль большинства современных российских военных патронов состоит из низкоуглеродистой холоднокатаной стали, например, марки 0810, плакированной томпаком.

Позже для обеспечения пробивного действия пули в её состав стали вводить массивный сердечник из мягкой стали, что первоначально было обусловлено необходимостью замены дефицитного и дорогого свинца. В дальнейшем для повышения пробивного действия пуль сердечники стали изготавливать из термоупрочненной стали.

Кроме того, в конце XIX — начале XX веков изменилась форма винтовочных пуль, которая вместо затупленной или закругленной формы стала остроносой. Такая форма является аэродинамически более выгодной и способствует увеличению дальности полета пули, а также делает траекторию её полёта более настильной, облегчая ведение прицельного огня.

Использование

Как правило, мощность винтовочных патронов значительно превышает мощность пистолетных и промежуточных патронов того же калибра. От пистолетных и промежуточных патронов винтовочные отличаются значительно бо́льшей энергией: они способны сохранять убойное действие на всей дальности полёта. Для большинства винтовочных пуль характерна высокая начальная скорость пули, которая обычно находится в пределах 700—1000 м/с, тогда как для пистолетных патронов она обычно находится в пределах 300—500 м/с, для промежуточных — 700—800 м/с.

Практика боевого применения пехотного оружия показала, что чрезмерная мощность винтовочных патронов из-за большой отдачи мешает их использованию в штурмовых винтовках и пистолет-пулемётах, в связи с чем в них используют соответственно промежуточные и пистолетные патроны. В современных армиях винтовочные патроны в настоящее время в основном используются для стрельбы из батальных и снайперских/марксманских винтовок, а также легких и единых пулемётов. Хотя снайперские и марксманские винтовки могут использовать винтовочно-пулемётные патроны того же калибра, как правило, в них применяются специально производимые снайперские патроны, обладающие значительно лучшей кучностью. Для некоторых снайперских винтовок производятся специальные снайперские патроны, отличающиеся баллистикой от стандартных патронов того же калибра.

Как правило, в легких и единых пулеметах используются стандартные винтовочные патроны, что облегчает снабжение войск боеприпасами. Исключением из этого правила является скорострельный авиационный пулемет ШКАС, в котором использовались особые патроны, по массогабаритным характеристикам совпадавшие с винтовочными, но существенно отличавшиеся от них по способу крепления пули, прочности гильзы и другим важным характеристикам.

Вместе с тем существуют и легкие пулеметы, использующие не винтовочные, а промежуточные патроны, например, ручной пулемет ручной пулемёт Калашникова РПК-74 под малоимпульсный патрон 5,45×39 мм.

Вопреки названию не все винтовки и карабины используют полноразмерные винтовочные патроны, существует множество образцов винтовок и карабинов, предназначенных для использования промежуточных и пистолетных патронов.

Современность
В сфере гражданского оружия спортивного и охотничьего назначения существовало и существует большое разнообразие винтовочных патронов.

Что же касается боеприпасов для армейских винтовок и пулеметов, в течение XX века проявилась сильная тенденция к их унификации в рамках двух мировых военно-политических союзов и сотрудничающих с ними стран. Ещё в начале XX века практически каждая страна Европы имела свой эксклюзивный армейский патрон, отличавшийся по калибру или длине от патронов других стран. К настоящему времени почти все они перестали использоваться армиями и теперь выпускаются лишь немногими предприятиями вроде «Hornady», «Први партизан» или «Norma Precision» в качестве спортивных или охотничьих.

На начало XXI века, на вооружении армий мира, за исключением патронов для крупнокалиберных винтовок, в основном находятся четыре винтовочных патрона:
 7,5×55 мм — швейцарский патрон, используется только швейцарскими войсками, в настоящее время постепенно вытесняется 7,62×51 мм НАТО;
 7,5×54 мм — французский патрон, сейчас постепенно вытесняется натовским 7,62×51 мм НАТО;
 7,62×51 мм — стандартный винтовочный боеприпас армий НАТО, обеих Америк, союзников США в Восточной Азии (Япония, Южная Корея и др.) и других стран;
 7,62×54 мм R — советский и российский патрон, распространённый в армиях стран бывшего СССР, части союзников СССР в странах Азии и Африки.

Open letter to Iran calls for an end to oppression of students
The 16 Baha'is initially detained after Iranian authorities raided around 30 homes associated with staff and faculty of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education, in May this year. Most recent information indicates that 11 remain in prison.
NEW YORK, United States — In an open letter to Iran's minister for higher education, the Baha'i International Community is calling for an end to "the unjust and oppressive practices" that bar Baha'is and other young Iranians from university.
Read the letter in English here
Read the letter in Persian here
"This letter affirms every person's duty to acquire knowledge so that they can contribute their talents and skills to the betterment of society," said Bani Dugal, Principal Representative of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations.
"To actively deprive any youth of education is reprehensible and against all legal, religious, moral, and humanitarian standards. No government should deny this fundamental and sacred right to its citizens."
The five-page letter addressed to Kamran Daneshjoo, Iran's Minister of Science, Research and Technology, recounts in particular the history of Iran's systematic, 30-year campaign to deny higher education to young Baha'is and its attempts to outlaw an informal community arrangement – known as the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE) – which makes use of the volunteer services of dismissed professors to teach Baha'i youth.
Press reports in Iran have recently announced that BIHE has been declared illegal.
"How is it that a government would debar a population of young citizens from access to higher education and then, when their families, with the help of one another, make private arrangements that bring them together in their homes to study such subjects as physics and biology, pronounce such activity to be 'illegal' by citing laws that are in fact intended to guide the operation of educational institutions that serve the general public?" asks the open letter.
"Why is the government so ruthless in the face of the earnestness of Baha'i youth to obtain higher education? Are not the professors in your universities calling upon their own students to cultivate the same commitment to learning?"
Official government policy
The letter catalogs various strategies employed by the Iranian authorities over the years to enact an official government policy to exclude Baha'is from institutions of higher learning.
Baha'is sit for the university entrance examination, "only to discover that they have been disqualified on the wholly specious claim that their applications were "incomplete". Universities refuse to enroll many of those who pass the examination. A small number who are able to enroll because their religion is overlooked at the time of registration are later expelled. In some particularly cruel instances, these expulsions have been effected just weeks or days prior to the completion of their courses of study."
"To any careful observer," the letter says, "it is evident that the only reason a few Baha'i youth have been admitted into your universities is that such actions permit your government's officials to deny that you prohibit Baha'is from gaining access to higher education – a claim that is blatantly duplicitous."
A "fresh measure of tribulation"
"And now a fresh measure of tribulation has befallen the Baha'is," the letter continues, "as they are subjected to harsh treatment in interrogations about their involvement with their informal efforts for the education of youth. Individuals who assist with the educational program are threatened with imprisonment. Parents who host classes are notified that their homes will be expropriated if the classes continue. And students are warned against attending their classes and are instructed that they will never obtain a higher education so long as they do not abandon their faith and declare themselves to be Muslims."
Yet, the letter remarks, when representatives of the Iranian government are confronted with these facts in the international arena, they maintain that no one is deprived of education in Iran on religious grounds.
"How regrettable that the representatives of the Islamic Republic repeatedly peddle such obvious falsehoods, further undermining your government's credibility. When will the officials in Iran bring to an end the entrenched practice of saying one thing to Baha'is while offering a range of conflicting reassurances on the global stage?"
Despite being denied higher education and never receiving formal qualifications, many students of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education have excelled to such a degree that universities in other countries have accepted them for post-graduate studies.
"What has evoked the deep admiration of the professors and classmates of those who have gone abroad for such studies," the letter says, "is the determination evinced by these students to return to Iran after the completion of their studies despite the numerous obstacles they face, and their readiness to accept every manner of hardship in their longing to contribute to the advancement of their country..."
"Why is such dedication to the betterment of the country unappreciated in Iran?" the Baha'i International Community asks.
Worldwide condemnation
The latest attack on the Baha'i Institute of Higher Education has prompted a global outcry. The raids three months ago on the homes of BIHE staff and faculty members, and the subsequent imprisonment of a number of them, has been condemned in the parliaments of Brazil, Canada and Chile; censured by high-ranking ministers and parliamentarians in Austria, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States; provoked statements from prominent citizens in India and educators in Australia and the United Kingdom; and prompted campaigns of protest from organizations and individuals, which proliferate through online social networks and around university campuses on all continents.
The letter also recounts instances where many government officials to whom Baha'is appeal for redress – including staff in the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology itself – sympathize with Baha'is while telling them that their hands are tied by orders from their superiors.
"With this letter, we are joining with all those people of goodwill throughout the world who are raising their voices in protest," said Bani Dugal.
"We are saying to the Iranian government that this injustice and oppression must now end."

Senate Republicans Fight to Protect Secret Donors
GOPers vote to keep dark money in the shadows by blocking the DISCLOSE Act.

On Monday evening, Senate Republicans blocked a vote on a bill that would force corporations, unions, and shadowy nonprofits such as Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS to reveal the biggest donors behind their political ads. The vote was 51 to 44.
The goal of the DISCLOSE Act of 2012, introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), is simple: Shine light on the dark money in American elections. The bill requires unions, corporations, and nonprofit organizations to report any campaign-related spending over $10,000 within 24 hours and to name donors who give $10,000 or more for political purposes. The bill also calls for an end to using shell corporations to mask donors' identities, a tactic used by former Bain Capital director Ed Conard, who funneled $1 million through a shell company to the pro-Romney super-PAC Restore Our Future last year.
Cosponsored by 27 Democratic senators and supported by a dozen outside transparency groups, including Public Citizen, Common Cause, and the League of Women Voters, this latest version of DISCLOSE has been scaled back from one Republicans filibustered in 2010 and another Whitehouse introduced this spring. (DISCLOSE stands for Democracy Is Strengthened by Casting Light On Spending in Elections.)
This time around, the bill was crafted to avoid favoring labor unions, a pillar of funding and support for Democrats, by making them subject to the same disclosure requirements as corporations and nonprofits. The bill's authors also worked hard to avoid infringing on constitutionally-protected forms of speech, focusing solely on disclosing donations—a nod to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's majority opinion in Citizens United, which asserted that disclosure "provides shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters."
Before the vote, numerous Senate Democrats took the floor to rail against the increase in undisclosed political giving. "All the DISCLOSE Act would do is shed light on who's giving money," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). "It oughta receive unanimous support." Kerry later added, "What could be more American than allowing the American people to know who's trying to speak to them?"
Pro-disclosure advocacy groups say the flow of undisclosed money in elections harkens back to the days of Watergate, when secret donations funded everything from sabotage campaigns to Nixon's reelection effort. "Today, a new, national campaign finance scandal is unfolding before the American people as massive secret, unlimited contributions return to our elections," said Fred Wertheimer, president of the pro-reform organization Democracy 21, in a statement.
"What could be more American than allowing the American people to know who's trying to speak to them?" asked Sen. John Kerry.
Whitehouse pledged to continue the debate on the DISCLOSE Act through the night and into Tuesday morning. Joining Whitehouse during his "midnight vigil" for DISCLOSE will be Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), and Al Franken (D-Minn.). "We recognize that you don't win every fight in round one, and this is a fight worth continuing," Whitehouse said in a statement Monday morning.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), a longtime foe of campaign finance reform, led the effort to block the vote on the bill. McConnell blasted the bill as a distraction from more pressing economic concerns and claimed it was a way for Democrats to intimidate and silence donors and critics. "The purpose of this legislation is totally clear," McConnell said. "After Citizens United, Democrats realized they couldn't shut up their critics. So they decided to go after the microphone instead by trying to scare off their funders."
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) also slammed the bill as a deliberate effort to intimidate Democrats' political opponents. (The US Chamber of Commerce, which does not disclose its donors, has spent $95,000 on Hatch's behalf this year.) Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who along with Sen. Whitehouse had filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to revisit its Citizens United ruling, joined his Republican colleagues to block the DISCLOSE vote.
McConnell's opposition to the bill's disclosure provisions clashes with his past support for greater disclosure of campaign giving and spending. In 1990, he said he'd introduce legislation requiring political action committees backing multiple candidates to name their donors. In 1997, McConnell wrote in the Lexington Herald-Leader that disclosing campaign donors and spending "should be expedited so voters can judge for themselves what is appropriate." And in 2000, McConnell said on NBC's Meet the Press that "Republicans are in favor of disclosure."
Republicans have taken heat for previously supporting disclosure only to vote against the DISCLOSE Act. Fred Hiatt, the Washington Post's editorial page editor, wrote on June 17 that the GOP's strategy amounted to a bait-and-switch: First, GOPers called for unlimited donations and full disclosure, but they abandoned disclosure once super-PACs and politically active nonprofits became the norm. "Will any Republicans," Hiatt asked, "have the civic courage to remember where they stood a few years back?"

Drew left with his head held high yesterday morning as he waved his excuse to be dismissed early from school for all the kids at the bus stop to see. It's funny how it brought back the memories and the feelings I had when I knew my mother would be retrieving me from school many many a few years ago. I smiled as I watched him skip along the sidewalk, finding myself excited for his excitement.
A couple hours later, the same smiling boy was peering out of the office window anxiously awaiting my arrival. Of course, I was late. Ever since I had the girls, I'm always late ... and I must admit, I don't like that at all. It's all the girls fault. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact I stopped to talk to the neighbor for 10 minutes. I had to. She was outside when I was leaving. It's in the "How To Be A Good Neighbor Handbook!" Hello!
Once Drew was buckled into the car, fidgeting beyond control, unable to control himself because HE WAS SO GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND WOULD PROBABLY GET A SHOT AND I JUST COULDN'T DRIVE FAST ENOUGH TO GET HIM THERE BECAUSE HE WAS SO EXCITED. I know, you don't have to tell me. The kid is mental. He looks forward to going to the doctor, but only because he might get a shot. Is there anything better in this world of ours?
Anyway, we arrived at the doctor and we weren't late. Do you want to know why? Because I dropped the girls off at the sitter. What did I tell you? No girls = On time. Every time. It's true!
Drew found Shrek playing on the waiting room television and I could tell that he was thinking this day just COULDNOTGETANYBETTER. He was glancing around the room and I know he was trying to find a good place to put his bed. When he moved in.
"Hi Doctor. How are you today?" I smiled, as I tried to crawl under my chair, but it wasn't big enough so I attempted to sneak into the cabinet under the sink. Why was it full of urine sample containers? For children. Didn't they know I was coming and would need a place to HIDE?
So, the appointment continued and I was forced to sit in my seat and pretend to be a mature adult. As Drew informed the doctor of everything we've done wrong in the last 7 years we have been his parents, I found I could turn my head to examine the child abuse poster hanging on the back of the door to disguise the deep shade of red my face was turning. Hey, even at the pediatrician's office I can multi-task. I was taking notes as to what NOT to do to Drew when we got home ... so that I wouldn't be reported to DHS for child abuse.
Once Drew said everything he had to say and the doctor and I were discussing where we should go from here ... Drew managed to weigh himself 27 times, ask the doctor to measure how tall he was, open and close the door 18 times, grab all the tongue pressers out of the jar and play the drums with them on the counter, tell the doctor 3 times that the toys and books he supplied for their entertainment were for babies, raise and lower the examination table 8 times before the doctor unplugged it, informed us that we were talking too much and he was missing PE 32 times, lay on the floor 93 times pretending to fall asleep because it was so boring and then laugh hysterically at himself and asked 47 times when he was going to get his shot.
GOOD TIMES. Such a proud moment for Mom.
While all this was taking place, we determined from the assessments and determining the behavior he was displaying in the office was not out of the ordinary, that he was indeed ADHD.
He recommended altering his diet and placing him on meds to get him started. Also to start implementing some of the parenting techniques we've learned with Jake.
I suggested a tranquilizer shot.
I need help. We are attending a surprise birthday party tomorrow evening and I haven't yet purchased a gift.
Well, maybe because I've been sick. Or dealing with an unruly child. Or because I didn't have any room left on my TO DO List to write it down.
Or ... maybe because I don't know what to get him. We don't know him really well. Just well enough to know he has everything.
Ideas? What should I get? I'm budgeting about $50.
Just In Case You Ever Need To Know!
It will only make you feel worse.
I don't know about you all, but as a SAHM, I know that sometimes I just need a break. I love my children and want to be with them ... which is why I choose to stay home with them. However, I am indeed human and need a little time to myself every now and then.
A friend of mine, who lives in my neighborhood and also has a little boy the same exact age as Molly, felt the same way as I did. That is when we decided that we would do a child swap every week.
Every Monday I have her son over for 4 hours. It's every single Monday. Always the same time, for us it's 9:30am to 1:30pm. We've found it to be the perfect time frame for us, because then when we return home, it's nap time, giving us another 2 hours.
Then, she takes my girls every single Friday. Same time. Always. We don't have to call and confirm. We just count on it. It is absolutely wonderful to have a day to look forward to that's MINE every week.
No paying a babysitter. Always able to schedule doctor, dentist, hair appointments, knowing the day and time I'll be able to go without my children tagging along. Lunch dates with my husband, which is always enjoyable. A movie and nap. Whatever I want. It's MY day.
Find a SAHM friend with children around the same age as yours. The kids absolutely LOVE it. And I honestly think the Mom's LOVE IT EVEN MORE!
Works For Me (And My Friend) ... and I hope it works for you too!
For more great ideas head on over to Rocks In My Dryer.
Next time you find your blood pressure rising, write a post and save it until Tuesday and then participate in the fun! And if nothing is bothering you ... then go read about what is ticking off the rest of Bloggityville.

Q: TinyMCE gulp configuration I am building a web application and I want to use TinyMCE. I am using gulp and browserify. I have downloaded TinyMCE through npm and than I have required it in my app.js file and run the gulp command but I got this error Failed to load: root/js/themes/modern/theme.js. I think this is because TinyMCE needs additional files from its folder. My question is how to configurate TinyMCE to search those files in the node_modules/tinymce folder.

A: The answer here depends completely on how you are packaging up files in your Gulp build. I'm still working through the same problem right now, but here's a tip that might help.
In my case, I'm using the main-bower-files plugin to read my Bower config and then return a stream of all the main JS files from all of my dependencies I've installed with Bower. It looks like this:
var mainBowerFiles = require('main-bower-files');

gulp.task('vendor-src', function () {
  return gulp.src(mainBowerFiles('**/*.js')
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(concat('main.min.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
});

Unfortunately, this does not pick up any of the TinyMCE files, which are installed in my bower_components directory, because the 'tinymce' installed through Bower does not come with a package.json file. I think this is because you have the choice between using the regular and jQuery versions of TinyMCE, which are both in the package.
I had to change my Gulp task from above to get it to pick up the TinyMCE source code that I want (the jQuery version). That version looks like this:
var mainBowerFiles = require('main-bower-files');

gulp.task('vendor-src', function () {
  return gulp.src(
    mainBowerFiles('**/*.js', {
      "overrides": {
          "tinymce": {
            "main": ["tinymce.jquery.js", "plugins/**/*.js", "themes/**/*.js"]
          }
       })
    .pipe(uglify())
    .pipe(concat('main.min.js'))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
});

That will include all of the JS files associated with TinyMCE and add them to the "main bower files" list.
This is only a partial solution though because you also have to pick up the TinyMCE CSS and font files. And then if you're build is completely different or you're not using the main-bower-files plugin, this might not help either.

A: I had an open issue with the main-bower-files author who discouraged the use of it together with TinyMCE, probably due to the large number of extra files that must be included (?). See the following issue on Github.
I ended up just copying the tinymce folder to my dist/ through a simple gulp task. I use Bower and different paths probably, but you get the idea
gulp.task('bower-tinymce', function() {

    //Copy resources from tinymce-dist that didn't make it in the bower-files
    return gulp.src('src/main/resources/static/bower_components/tinymce-dist/**/*').pipe(gulp.dest('src/main/resources/static/dist/tinymce'));

});

Hulk Hogan Sex Tape: Wrestler Says Release "Appalling," Was Made at a "Low Point" of His Life
Wrestling icon opens up about the tape, which he says was filmed without his knowledge, and says that the scandal has "devastated" him.
By Josh Grossberg
Hulk Hogan, seen in this file photo, says the release of a sex tape in which he is featured has "totally flipped my new life...upside down."
Hulk Hogan is still grappling with the awful realization that his privacy was invaded.
Appearing on the "Today" show, the pro-wrestling legend and erstwhile "Hogan Knows Best" star talked about the sex tape that has been the source of much mortification to him and his family since it was leaked to the Web last week.
"First off, I had no idea there was a camera in the room. It was at a very, very low point. I'm not making excuses. I'm accountable. I was the guy. I was there. I made the choice," the 59-year-old Hogan told co-hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb when they asked about "the elephant in the room."

But the WWE icon, who was appearing on "Today" to plug his new venture as general manager of TNA Impact Wrestling, was quick to point out that the secretly recorded sexual relations came when his 25-year old union to his first wife, Linda Hogan, had already imploded.
"It was at a really low point in my life when I was in a previous marriage when things were bottomed out completely," said Hogan. "I was with some friends and I made a wrong choice. And now, all of a sudden, it surfaces over six years later, and it's just appalling. It's totally flipped my new life...upside down."
Hulk, real name Terry Bollea, also expressed concern for his two kids, Brooke and Nick, who he said were "fine." However, he noted his new wife, Jennifer McDaniel, is "rattled" to say the least.

"She's not part of this media life or anything, and it's something that's devastated me totally and I've never been on something on this level," he said.
Hogan earlier discussed the situation on "The Howard Stern Show," saying he was "devastated" and seeming to confirm that the woman in the video was Heather Clem, the ex-wife of radio host Bubba the Love Sponge. He also claimed in the conversation to have a "gut instinct" who leaked the tape, but wasn't ready to say who that person was.
Hogan told "Today" that he's going "full-blown" to learn the identity of the leaker. He has also sworn to take appropriate legal action.
2010 was a big year for sex tape scandals


The cornerstone was laid and blessed in August, 1888. The friars moved into the original house two months later and a little more than a year later, on Thanksgiving Day 1889, Archbishop Henry Elder of Cincinnati consecrated the chapel. The building's north wing was to house the novices and the south housed the professed friars.
Father Jerome Kilgenstein, Provincial Minister at the time, obtained furnishings for the chapel from France, Belgium, Bavaria, Holland and the Austrian province of Tyrol, the home of the early friars of the Cincinnati province. Originally the chapel had eight side altars. Over the high altar were two large paintings depicting scenes from the life of St. Anthony. The paintings were covered over when the chapel was redecorated in 1978.
A group of novices, who had been invested with the Franciscan habit at Holy Family Friary in Oldenburg, Indiana, came to Mt. Airy in the first week of 1890. The first investitures at Mt. Airy took place August 15, 1890—on the feast of the Assumption, which became a traditional date for many years.
Nearly a thousand young men formally entered the Order at Mt. Airy between 1890 and 1967, to spend one year laying the foundation for their lives as Franciscans. Not all of these novices ended up professing vows in the order: one purpose of the novitiate is to discern God's call.
Today, the St Anthony Shrine and Friary is home to 11 friars.
Mt. Airy holds a special place in the hearts of friars and friends. Vocation decisions made by novices affected the course of the Cincinnati province. The Shrine remains a place of peace, hope and communion with God and nature. It has been an inspiration and channel of God's grace for over a century. May it be the same for another century and beyond.
The St Anthony Shrine is open for daily prayer, mediation and quiet reflection. Visitors are welcome to attend daily or Sunday Catholic Mass or Tuesday afternoon Novena to St Anthony or Tuesday Novena Mass. There are no scheduled tours.
At the back of the chapel, the shrine features a first-class relic of St. Anthony. The relic is visible at the base of the St. Anthony statue. First-class relics are parts of the body or bones of a saint, while second-class relics are objects that were used by or associated with a saint (or somehow with the Lord). A third-class relic is a piece of cloth or something that has been touched to a first- or second-class relic.
The grounds surrounding the St. Anthony Shrine are a serene and peaceful place for a walk or quiet contemplation. There is a small outdoor shrine with statues of St. Anthony, St. Francis and Our Lady of Guadalupe, all of them surrounded by candles. The field next to the shrine includes an outdoor cross, and there are other Roman Catholic statues throughout the grounds. Visitors to the shrine are welcome to walk the grounds and enjoy their natural beauty.

Holmes vs Reid
Marissa Finger
Marissa Finger, Staff Writer
Some of the greatest mystery writers have kept us all on our toes through every page, movie, or episode. Two of the greatest examples are Sherlock Holmes and Spencer Reid.
Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books. His deduction skills help him solve cases faster than the Scotland Yard–well, at least in the books. The books address told from Doctor John Watson's point of view to further prove how ingenious Holmes really is; however, Sherlock is mostly depicted as being a sociopath and often best when he is on his own.
Doyle's books have been turned into films and television series, such as BBC's Sherlock-Holmes being portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch-or America's version Elementary-having Jonny Lee Miller take over the role of Holmes. These shows make it easier to see Holmes as arrogant, lonely, and a literal know it all.
Criminal Minds holds a lot of characters-they barely reuse an actor-including the special Doctor Spencer Reid, played by Matthew Gray Gubler. Reid shares many of the same attributes as Sherlock Holmes but Reid is more contained than Sherlock. He can often be seen with his team and doesn't highlight that he is literally a genius.
Here's where sources come in. Since it wasn't outright stated in the books, it has been estimated that Sherlock Holmes has an IQ of 190, but Spencer Reid-from actual statements on the show-has an IQ of 187. Reid can read 20,000 words a minute and eidetic memory. When reading the books, I didn't see Holmes as someone who speed reads, but he loves to fill his brain with facts; he also doesn't have an eidetic memory (at least in the books–he throws information aside when he doesn't think he will need it).
Sherlock might have a lot of contacts but he only seems to be interested in his prodigy, Watson, as he trains him to look at all details. Spencer, on the other hand, has opened up to more than one person and deals with people better than Sherlock.
With both characters being fictional and very similar, it is hard to have any winner when the two are pinned against each other at least in the detective department. They both specialize in profiling others to the best of their abilities and have skills in helping to put criminals behind bars, but I have to say that Spencer Reid has won this round and not just because Matthew Gubler is delivering his dialogues.

Madeleine Sophie Barat
The Society of the Sacred Heart was founded in the turmoil of post-Revolutionary France by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. Its history is the story of strong and dedicated women true to the Society's motto: "One Heart and One Soul in the Heart of Jesus."
The daughter of a vintner in the wine country southeast of Paris, Madeleine Sophie Barat was educated beyond the norms of her contemporaries, making her well-suited for leadership of a religious community dedicated to prayer and education. In Paris, on November 21, 1800, at the age of twenty, she and three other young women consecrated themselves to "make known the revelation of God's love." Centered in personal and communal prayer, they set out to give young women a classical education - not common in their day - and to offer religious studies and practical skills. They began to call themselves the Society of the Sacred Heart.
In 1806, Mother Barat (women religious took the name Mother or Sister in addition to their family name), was elected superior general. During her 65-year leadership, the Society of the Sacred Heart grew to include over 3500 members, expanded to the Americas, and broadened its educational mission. Madeleine Sophie Barat was canonized in 1925. Her feast is May 25.
Rose Philippine Duchesne
The missionary, Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, first brought the Society to the Americas – to St. Charles, Missouri – in 1818. The first free school west of the Mississippi was founded in St. Charles in a log cabin by five RSCJ led by Mother Duchesne. Philippine was canonized in 1988. Her feast is November 18.
Today in the United States – Canada Province of the Society of the Sacred Heart, there are twenty-four Sacred Heart schools guiding students in the spirit of Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat.

NHS Induction Recap
This past Wednesday, from 7 to 8 p.m., 51 new members were inducted into East's National Honors Society.
The night started off with a quick address from our principal Ms Fisher, then a speech from the keynote speaker, Superintendent Melissa Baker, who congratulated the new members and stressed the importance passing on positivity by showing a video titled "Don't Give Up, Give Back", a saying of a non profit organization started by Elizabeth Hope for her sister Olivia called "Livy's Hope."
Co-adviser of NHS, Mr. Schmitz, then reminded the soon-to-be inductees that the meaning of NHS extends far beyond "your name on a roster or a cord you wear at graduation." He stressed it is a culmination of the four founding pillars: leadership, character, service, and scholarship.
The new officers were soon after inducted into their positions.
Pictured from right to left: William Ray (Treasurer,) Sophia Bolden (Public Relations,) Natille Kraemer (Secretary,) Zachary Hemker (Recording Secretary,) Abigail Hackbardt (Vice-President,) and Gretchen Ascher (President.)
Lastly, the new members were given a membership pin, and were officially inducted, each holding a lighted candle, and reciting the official NHS pledge.

Ugandan Boy Seeks High Government Office, Starts with Rural Villages
January 11, 2019 | Clean Water Poverty Cycle
Twelve-year-old Farouk Buyinza wants to be the Prime Minister of Uganda when he grows up.
"As a WASH Club member, I speak to families about having a rubbish pit, drying rack, clean bathrooms, and clean jerry cans and households," he said. "When I visited them again for the first time, they had already started putting in place what I had shared with them!"
Farouk is on Busaala Primary School's "WASH Club" and one of two top student leaders.
WASH club members are leaders dedicated to practicing five healthy habits that help prevent the spread of disease and missed school days, and they share these practices with their peers through songs, dramas, and dances.
Farouk is proud of his school's new rainwater harvesting tanks.

Farouk is smaller than his friends, younger than many, but he is a natural leader. His laugh rings out among the rest, and in a subtle way, his decisions guide others.
After school, Farouk speaks to every home in his village and encourages them to practice five hygiene and sanitation practices that save lives around the world.
These "Healthy Habits" in Lifewater's curriculum include:
Practicing Safe Handwashing
Using a drying rack for dishware
Keeping a Clean Home
Storing Water Safely
Using a bathroom with a door and a roof
Preliminary results and qualitative research from the same curriculum taught in households over the last two years are showing that families are not only healthier, but increasingly wealthier as they practice healthy habits and save on medical costs.
In rural, hard-to-reach corners of the globe, the poorest families are experiencing a transformation because of simple health practices like those Farouk is teaching in Uganda.
Safe Water Boosts Education
Farouk and his friends wash their hands at the permanent hand washing station.
Before Lifewater and Busaala Primary School partnered to build handicap-accessible bathrooms, a permanent handwashing station, and a safe well at Farouk's school, students traveled a dangerous road and dodged speeding vehicles to get to a crowded well at a clinic.
Sometimes, they drank from a pond closer by.
"We would return when some classes were underway or finished and that would affect our learning," Farouk said. "We now have a well and water tanks within the school and those problems are a thing of the past."
Before Lifewater donors supported Busaala Primary, Farouk fell ill from drinking contaminated water. He returned to school a week later determined to support WASH (water access, sanitation, and hygiene) initiatives.
Safe water is foundational for every type of development—economic, social, and educational. It frees people from waterborne illnesses that inhibit work, costs communities in health clinic fees, and prevents children from attending school. It is essential to stepping out of poverty.

Farouk's school now has rainwater harvesting tanks and a safe water well on the premises.
Farouk drinks safe water from the school well.
"We can drink this water without worrying about falling sick and missing school unlike before when we went to the spring and ponds," Farouk said. "We are so grateful!"
Because of generous Lifewater donors, every student has a safe place to use the bathroom.
"We have a new bathroom that was given to girls because they have washing places that help them especially during their menstrual periods," he said.
Construction is underway for the boys bathroom.
Safe water makes it possible for girls and boys in extremely poor communities to receive an education and pursue their every dream.
For Farouk, access to safe water means he has an opportunity to finish primary school and go onto secondary, an uncommon accomplishment for children in water-poor villages. It means that if he wants, he can live healthy, work, and go to university to become Uganda's Prime Minister.
Safe water gives children in the margins of society a chance to make their dreams a reality.

Subject United States. Navy
World War, 1939-1945--Philippines.
World War, 1939-1945--Campaigns--Philippines--Luzon.
World War, 1939-1945--New Guinea.
World War, 1939-1945--Amphibious operations.
United States. Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School
Description The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Paul Cary. Cary joined the Navy V-12 program in 1942. On July 1, 1943 they were all placed on active duty and he was sent to the University of Pennsylvania. Late that fall the Navy sent him to Midshipmen's School at Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois. Upon being commissioned an ensign on May 10, 1944, Cary was sent to the Navy Amphibious Training Base, Little Creek, Virginia and assigned to an Landing Ship, Medium (LSM) crew in training. His ship (LSM-217) left the states in September 1944 for the South Pacific. After some minor action, they loaded personnel and equipment from the 6th Division and landed at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. After their initial landing, they retreated off the beach, went alongside transports to load vehicles and transported them to the beach; this went on for three days, often into the night. They continued to operate in the Philippines thereafter on many small operations and convoys between the Philippines and New Guinea. They were under frequent Kamikaze attack. They were in the Philippines at the end of the war. Afterward, they made several trips between the Philippines and Tokyo Bay. Upon leaving Japan, they went to Saipan and then Guam where they loaded Marine vehicles for return to San Diego. They were then sent to New Orleans and finally Lake Charles, Louisiana where the ship was decommissioned in May 1946.
