Recent formulations of the inductive, continual problem of evil require us to consider new responses to the charge that there is something irrational about believing in God, given the type and amount of evil in the world. Furthermore, fresh approaches to the problem of evil offer suggestive ways to enter a new line of inquiry, in regards to both theistic defences against various articulations of the problem of evil and also theodicy. Finally, developments in contemporary theology, especially analytic philosophical theology, likewise require new treatments of the problem of evil.
This volume, on the problem on evil, presents a series of essays that incorporate responses to these developments. The articles fall into three broad sections. The first critiques and examines the analytic, inductive problem of evil on the basis of its modal underpinnings, the discourse of possible worlds, and issues related to hiddenness and vagueness. The second part presents a narrative response to the problem of evil. Its approaches attempt to show the way in which peculiar features of narrative such as dramatic irony, verisimilitude, and distinctions between person-type propositions offer fresh ways to encapsulate our feelings about evil and our response to the theological problems raised by encounters with evil. Such existential concerns are valuable for our thinking about these matters. The third section relates the problem of evil to developments in contemporary analytic theology, such as open theism, idealism and the felix culpa theodicy.
In discussions of Paul's letters, much attention has been devoted to statements that closely identify Christ with Israel's God (i.e., 1 Cor 8:6). However, in Rom 3:30 and Gal 3:20, Paul uses the phrase "God is one" to link Israel's monotheistic confession and the inclusion of the Gentiles in the people of God. Therefore, this study traces the OT and early Jewish backgrounds of the phrase "God is one" and their possible links to Gentile inclusion. Following this, Christopher Bruno examines the two key Pauline texts that link the confession of God as one with the inclusion of the Gentiles. Bruno observes a significant discontinuity between the consistent OT and Jewish interpretations of the phrase and Paul's use of "God is one" in relation to the Gentiles. In the both the OT and early Jewish literature, the phrase functions as a boundary marker of sorts, distinguishing the covenant people and the Gentiles. The key exception to this pattern is Zech 14:9, which anticipates the confession of God as one expanding to the nations. Similarly, in Romans and Galatians, the phrase is not a boundary marker, but rather grounds the unity of Jew and Gentile. The context and arguments in Rom 3:30 and Gal 3:20 lead to the conclusion that Paul's monotheism must now be understood in light of the Christ event; moreover, Zech14:9 may play a significant role in the link between Paul's eschatological monotheism and his argument for the inclusion of the Gentiles in Romans and Galatians.
This book highlights 16 key Bible verses that stand as "turning points" in the biblical storyline—enabling us to see God's incredible plan to redeem his people and glorify his name from Genesis to Revelation. Whether it's exploring the creation of humanity, the establishment of the covenants, or the coming of the Messiah, this book will help Christians see how God's Word tells a single story about his sovereignty, glory, and grace.
Most churches in the United States have fewer than 75 members. Many of these congregations barely have enough money to pay their pastor's salary, let alone launch a movement or host a conference. How can they hope to make an impact beyond their own walls?
In what sense is God one? How can those who worship Jesus Christ, his Father, and the Holy Spirit claim to be monotheists? These questions were answered by the early church, and their answering analogies, models, and language have come down to the church today. However, theology is not stagnant, and the twentieth century has seen several new models of the Trinity emerge. Many of these models have focused on the three persons without adequately considering the consequences for the unity of God. The One God seeks to develop an understanding of the unity of the Triune God by examining the positions put forward by Karl Rahner, Millard Erickson, John Zizioulas, and Wolfhart Pannenberg. After carefully presenting and critically examining each of these positions, this book offers a synthesis: an understanding of the unity of God that is historically informed, theologically adequate, internally coherent, and able to explain Christian monotheism in a new century. By affirming both the singular divine essence of God and the genuine, eternal interdependence of distinct divine persons in God, The One God affirms the personal and the natural levels of ontology, both crucial for understanding God, humanity, and the world.
This work uses sports as a metaphor for humanity itself. Using a biblical structure: creation, fall, and redemption, the editors show how God may have intended us to enjoy sport, how we have corrupted sports, and how we might reattach ourselves to God's original purposes through sport.
A Guide to Evangelism, edited by Dan DeWitt, will equip Christians and churches with the tools they need for more faithful evangelism. With chapters focusing on the role that a church's preaching and polity can play in the task of evangelism, as well as chapters with practical advice for Christians engaging different groups, such as Muslims, skeptics and nominal Christians, this book will help Christians fulfill their role in spreading the gospel so that grace extends to more people to the glory of God.

Thank you so much. I love the urn. My father, who was 97, said the happiest he ever was was when he was in a boat, on a lake, fishing. So when I saw this urn I knew it was perfect for him. And I love the prayer on it. I found other "fishing" urns on other web sites but none of them were a perfect as this one. And none of them made me say, "That's dad".
The NAVY companion urn for my parents arrived this morning. Thank you for your guidance in helping me order this beautiful tribute honoring the burial of one of our WW II veterans and his beautiful wife.

Celiac disease takes center stage on The Doctors, a national syndicated television show.
The gluten-free diet is always taking the spotlight in the mainstream news. Isn't it time that celiac disease, not its treatment, gets the attention?

Russia approached N. Korea for ammunition amid Ukraine war: Pentagon
Politics Economy Sep 7, 2022 04:02; updated Sep 7, 2022 05:03 (JST)
Russia has approached North Korea to request ammunition, a sign of Moscow having "challenges" in its military sustainment capabilities amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday. While declining to speculate on what Russia may need from North Korea and what Pyongyang can offer, Pentagon Press Secretary Pat Ryder told a press conference, "The information that we have is that Russia has specifically asked for ammunition." So far, Iran has also been contacted by Russia with requests for military equipment, Ryder said, adding that the Pentagon is also keeping "a very close ...

Protecting Johnny Football®: Trademark Registration for Collegiate Athletes
Christie Cho, Northwestern University School of Law
While the issue of publicity rights for college athletes has intensified, "Johnny Football" illustrates a different property interest for student athletes, one that is independent from the rights of the NCAA. Trademark protection for symbols, names, and other marks affiliated with student-athletes provides an intriguing solution, especially at a time when the future of amateur college sports is uncertain. Furthermore, the availability of the "intent to use" application makes trademark registration a viable means of protecting intellectual property interests of student-athletes. This Comment uses "Johnny Football" as an example to illustrate this potential game-changer in defining and protecting the rights of student-athletes, regardless of the future of amateurism in collegiate athletics.

The Internet's 1st Serial Killer, AKA The Slave Master
Posted on March 13, 2022 March 14, 2022 by Morbid N' Macabre
John Edward Robinson grew up in a middle class All-American Illinois family; he was born smack dab in the middle of 5 kids, and maintained a close relationship with his 4 siblings. John attended a private Catholic school in which he'd studied to become a priest; by the age of 14 he was an Eagle Scout, and on a trip with the scouts John even met Judy Garland and performed for the Queen of England! It sounds like an idealistic upbringing, but the family had some issues; it has been reported that John's father was a drinker and his mother was a bit domineering. Again, his childhood wasn't perfect but whose is? Still, you'd be hard pressed to find some terrible event which may have flipped a switch.
The scamming, conning, and thieving had always been a part of who the man was, John had been doing it as far back as anyone could remember; he was arrested countless times for fraud, forging documents, embezzlement, theft, you name it. Eventually John began to open different companies and became involved with various shady charitable organization which helped him appear more authentic. Many of the crimes which John got away with for so long would've been impossible had it not been for these companies.
He looks respectable enough, right?
Despite his incessant need to commit white collar crimes, John cared very much what his community though of him; he made sure they loved him. The man taught Sunday School at his local Presbyterian Church, he became a ball coach, a scoutmaster, just whatever he could do to earn brownie points. Then, in order to better con people, John actually nominated himself Man Of The Year! He forged a ton of documents and letters from important people and viola, John won; the Man of The Year award was presented by a well known politician and everything, it seemed to be a pretty big deal.
When John wasn't killing or conning, he was busy with his wife and their 4 children; the family lived in a beautiful neighborhood. John's wife, Nancy Jo, knew her husband had been unfaithful; she'd been aware of one victim, but had been under the impression that her husband was having affairs. When women began turning up missing in the 80's, several of them could easily be linked back to John. The victims were mostly troubled youth, women who John had claimed to have been trying to help; police never had any proof that John had hurt these women, and one by one the cases went cold.
John and his unsuspecting wife.
In January of 1985 Lisa Stasi was just 19 years old living in a battered women's shelter with her 4 month old daughter, Tiffany Lynn. Lisa had been truly thrilled when she was accepted into a youth outreach program for troubled young mothers; this program was to include housing and free childcare, which meant that she could devote her time to earning her GED. It was a dream come true for her, the answer to her prayers.
A man who had referred to himself as John Osborne had picked Lisa up from her in-laws home; later that same evening a panicked Lisa placed a phone call to her mother in law, Betty Stasi, from a hotel room. John Osborne had told the young mother that Betty had accused her of being unfit, and that she was actively trying to have baby Tiffany taken from her care. John had been trying to force Lisa to sign multiple blank sheets of paper. Betty hadn't the slightest idea what on Earth Lisa was talking about, she cared for the mother of her granddaughter and had no intentions of doing her dirty. Within moments a hysterical Lisa exclaimed that "they" were coming back into the room, and the telephone line went dead; Lisa's voice was never heard again after this.
The next morning when Betty called the hotel she was informed that Lisa had already checked out. Letters signed by the young woman were soon mailed to her in-laws home; they claimed that Lisa was faring very well, that she had met a man, and was planning a new life for herself and her baby. To those who knew Lisa, this was unbelievable; though the letters had undoubtedly been signed by the teenager, they hadn't sounded anything like her. A man who identified himself as Father Martin from an outreach program had contacted Lisa's mother in law, and he backed up what the letters said: the young mother had taken off with a man named Bill. When police contacted that outreach program, they denied association with any Father Martin. Police checked to see who had rented the hotel room on the night in which Lisa disappeared, they found it had been John Robinson – not John Osborne, but there was no evidence that any crime had taken place.
There were other cases of missing young women which were similar, and several could be traced back to John Robinson and/or his company. Many of the young women had accepted a job offer as a secretary or had been hired to care for John's elderly father; from there each had dropped off the face of the earth. The only contact they ever had with the world again would be these letters, and the signatures were definitely real. Some of these women were never even reported missing as their families had truly believed that they were somewhere in Europe making big bucks and living a fabulous new life. If the family had suspected something, John would say the woman had ran off with a man – usually this man was named Bill. There was no proof that anything sinister had happened, and it's not illegal for an adult to disappear if that's their prerogative.
As soon as the internet came along, John quickly joined the online BDSM community. This made our killer's life so much simpler; gone were the days of scouring the wanted/personal ads or calling outreach programs and hospitals to find troubled young women – now they were waiting right there on John's computer! He chose the screen name of "Slavemaster" and John would troll for victims. He targeted those who were receiving benefits such as monthly disability, pension, welfare, alimony checks, etcetera; he would promise the girl wealth if she agreed to come work for him as a sex slave while traveling. It really is a wonder how many women were willing to go along with this considering they didn't know him from Adam!
One of John's properties
John would fly his future victim to Kansas, and using an assumed identity, he would use his company charge card to either put the woman up in a hotel room or she'd be taken to one of the multiple apartments which he had rented. John would then convince these women to sign multiple blank stationary papers; he insisted that they wouldn't have time to write these letters while traveling throughout countries such as China so it was just good common sense to do it now. After he had those signatures, John would rape his victim, then he'd usually beat her to death often with a hammer, and place her remains in an 88 gallon hazmat barrel. These barrels were then stored either on a farm or one of John's 2 storage units. Our killer made sure to have access to his victim's monthly checks, which were promptly cashed. This, coupled with the letters sent to the victim's families, proved to investigators that there had been no crime; the women were alive and well, but did not wish to be found.
In 1993 a 49 year old Beverly Bonner became one of John's victims. Beverly had been a prison librarian who John had met and seduced while incarcerated. After he found out that Beverly received $1,000.00 in monthly alimony checks, he murdered her and continued to collect her checks for years.
In 1994 John raped and murdered Sheila Faith and her disabled 15 year old daughter, Debbie Faith. Young Debbie had been born with spina bifida, the girl had been in a wheelchair; John pocketed their monthly checks.
Finally, in 2000, he killed 28 year old Suzette Trouten; this is the one which lead to his downfall. John had targeted Suzette through the online bdsm community; Suzette had excitedly explained to her mama that she was going to work as a nurse's aid for a big time CEO named John Robinson who needed help with his elderly father. Understandably she left out the part where she was going to be a sex slave. But this woman was different from the other victims, she was super duper close to her mama, Carolyn. When mama didn't hear from Suzette, she began to call John Robinson – she pestered him. John gave his usual spiel about how the woman had run off with some man, but Carolyn was having none of it! There was no way in hell that her daughter would've gone more than a day or two without contacting her mama! When the letters came, Carolyn took one glance at them and handed them over to the police. She instinctively knew that something terrible had happened to Suzette, and there was no chance that she was going to quietly go away!
Due to Carolyn's insistence, investigators put John on surveillance; they followed him around town, rented hotel rooms right next to the ones John had rented. Eventually a couple of women came forward to file complaints for battery, sexual assault, and theft; on June 2nd of 2000, police finally had a good reason to arrest John and search his properties.
Some of John's BDSM paraphernalia
In one storage unit in Raymore, Missouri, investigators found some personal items which had belonged to numerous victims: birth certificates, social security cards, credit cards, driver's licenses. There were also pornographic pictures and videos of some of the victims. In another large storage they discovered 3 bodies in barrels; on a secluded ranch in La Cygne, Kansas, they found a couple more. Since some of these victims had not been reported missing, 3 of these women were initially labeled as Jane Doe.
Crime scene photos
Corpses were found inside these barrels
One of the most interesting aspects of this case was finding out what exactly had happened to victim Lisa's infant daughter, Tiffany Lynn. Eventually it came out that Lisa had been targeted because of her baby; John had been contacting charities, hospitals, outreach programs and everyone else he could think of to ask for the names of troubled young mothers. Come to find out, John's older brother and sister in law, Don and Helen Robinson from Hammond, Indiana, were barren! John had lured Lisa to her death, forged birth and adoption certificates from all of the right officials, he had made it look real legit. For all of this, John charged his brother an adoption fee of $5,500.00. The new parents had been told that the baby's mother had committed suicide, leaving the baby girl in need of a loving home; Don and Helen never had any clue that the adoption wasn't legit, and you could consider them victims as well. Tiffany was quickly renamed Heather Robinson, and she was raised as John's niece until the proverbial shit hit the fan more than 15 years later.
John's unsuspecting family with baby Tiffany
Thankfully the home had been a good one; the Robinsons had truly loved Heather, and they'd worked hard to give her a good life. After Heather discovered her true identity, she absolutely refused to leave the Robinson family. Though she did make contact with her biological father, Carl, Heather decided to stay with the parents she had known and loved. The poor girl has really had a horrific time with it all; it's so difficult being a teenager in the first place, imagine going through this! Bless her heart!

In October of 2002 John was tried for the 3 known Kansas murders: 19 year old Lisa Stasi who was killed in 1985, 21 year old Polish immigrant Izabela Lewicka was murdered in 1995, and 28 year old Suzette Trouten who'd lost her life in 2000. John was found guilty in January of the following year and sentenced to death. Missouri then prosecuted him for the several murders he'd committed in their state. This time the serial killer beat the death penalty by pleading guilty; he was sentenced to life.
In her early twenties Heather sued her mother's killer, the man she had referred to as "Uncle", for five billion dollars. Though Heather will likely never see most of that money, it does ensure that John will never profit from his murders; the killer will never receive monetary gain from any books, television and movie deals, artwork, or anything else. Lisa's corpse has yet to be found, and Heather has a desperate need to find her mother, to connect with her in some way.
A screenshot of Heather's Facebook page in which she is searching for her mother. I will add a link to her site at the bottom of this article.
We know that John murdered at least 8 people. Considering the rather lengthy time lapses had between kills, and the fact that Lisa, Paula, and Katherine's remains have yet to be found, you have gotta wonder how many more victims are there? When will another dumping ground be discovered?

Q: Loop in trigger after insert I accidently deleted my trigger (Needed to reset something in my DB). But i don't know how to make my trigger again..
I have a 2 tables.
1:
train_information:

2:
axle:

Now, when a train gets added and inserted in the DB table: train_information. I want a trigger to also update the axle table.
After the trigger worked i want the axle table to look like:

However. If the train_information has 4 axles. i only want to put 3 in the axle table. So i want the loop/trigger to insert 1 less.
So if the train_information table has 20 axles. i want the axle table to show 19 etc.

A: You can have the following trigger as
delimiter //
create trigger train_information_ins after insert on train_information
for each row
begin
 declare x int ;
 if(new.number_of_axies >  0 ) then
   set x = 1 ;
   while x < new.number_of_axies do
     insert into axle (train_id,axle)
     values
     (new.train_id,x);
     set x=x+1;
    end while ;
  end if ;
end;//

delimiter ;

A: Below script will get you going. This script will loop through the number of axles which got inserted.
DELIMITER //

CREATE TRIGGER `train_information_after_insert` AFTER INSERT ON `train_information`
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN

DECLARE noAxles INT;
SET noAxles = NEW.number_of_axles;

myLoop: LOOP
  SET noAxles = noAxles - 1;

  //UPDATE STATEMENT FOR AXLE TABLE HERE

  IF noAxles = 0 THEN
    LEAVE myLoop;
  END IF;

DONALD Trump mocked divorce-hit Amazon boss Jeff Bezos over his affair calling him "Jeff Bozo".
The president also praised the National Enquirer for exposing the fling which has sparked the most expensive divorce battle in history.
"Being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post.
"Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"
The "competitor" Trump was referring to was the National Enquirer — which published a story that exposed damning text messages between Bezos and former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez.
Shortly before the story ran, Bezos announced that he is separating from his wife.
The world's richest man and wife MacKenzie, 48, said their 25-year marriage was over in a joint statement.
Trump has a history with the supermarket tabloid that he praised.
In December, the National Enquirer's parent company admitted to paying a woman who alleged an affair with Trump.
The president did not mention those details in his tweet.
Trump previously mocked Bezos over his $140billion divorce saying "it's going to be a beauty".
It has claimed Bezos whisked Sanchez to five-star hotels and exotic locations in his £50million private jet.
Last night the publication alleged that Bezos sent Sanchez X-rated selfies and texts.


Vertical and horizontal roof braces. This gives the roof considerable added strength.
The strongest shape in construction is a triangle - the additional roof braces make a strong triangular structure giving the marquee frame considerable strength.
We believe all of these features make our 4m commercial marquees the most durable and heavy duty structure of their class in the world.
What size of marquee do I need?
When looking to buy a marquee the first thing to do is decide what size(s) of marquee you need, only then can you decide which range of marquee is most suitable for you.
Measure your garden. If space is limited your guest list may be restricted by the maximum size of marquee able to fit in the space.
If your garden is an awkward size then consider using more than one marquee connected together to cover the space. Multiple marquees can take a little more thought in planning a successful party but please contact us, we're marquee specialists and are here to help.
If you need help in picturing the layout of a marquee then check out our interactive marquee planner and experiment with different layouts.
The following size guide shows the capacity (seated or standing) or each size of marquee. Size guides can vary greatly, this is due to the variety of ways a marquee can be used. For example a 6x12m marquee can seat 70-80 people at round tables but if you allow for buffet tables and/or a dance floor then the capacity is reduced.
Recently came across the most helpful site when looking to buy a commercial marquee, considering it's a commitment deciding to go in the marquee business I decided to 'snoop' around DIY Marquees website to get an idea of the ethos and reliability of the company. DIY marquees has an excellent reputation in the industry, however, I was intent on doing my own research.
The first thing I noticed going on the blog posts is the transparent way in which each post is written thus showing that the owners of the business are open, honest, passionate and willing to go the extra mile to ensure their customers have all the knowledge they need thus making a success of their business.
I came across this special post that I wanted to share as this sheds light on the history of the company.
DIY Marquees is part of C & D King Ltd, a company that has been manufacturing for over 30 years. Originally the manufacturing of clothing was bigger than marquees but over the years the balance has reversed.
Over Xmas I found some photographs from the early years.
This is c 1983 and we think the first marquee built by us. A lot of work for a 3x6m!
This is c 1984. The marquee in the background is likely to have been the 3rd or 4th one we built/sold (a bit different to the thousands we have sold since!).
Circled top left is Mary who had just joined after leaving school. Mary is now head of production and responsible for much of the smooth running of the company. Bottom right is lil' ol me. Also featured are my brother, mother & grandparents. Quite the family company!
So if you are thinking of buying a heavy duty marquee look no further than the experts in heavy duty marquees for sale.
Pop up Marquee are most suitable for those who want a strong shelter that's quick and easy to erect. Ideal for market stalls or anywhere that needs a temporary shelter quick to put up and take down. A pop up marquee will never be as strong as if you buy party tent or marquee.
DIY Marquees pop up marquees are as strong as the folding design will allow but when you buy party tents or marquees you are buying a stronger rigid frame and covers who's main function is to be durable and watertight rather than flexible and shower proof.
Marquee lighting, linings and flooring are all available to purchase separately either at the time of buying your marquee or in the future. If you have bought a DIY Marquee then you can always buy marquee lighting, flooring or linings for it in the future. Indeed spare parts are available for the complete range of DIY Marquees.
DIY Marquees have a large range of commercial marquee for sale, they will give you the best advice in terms of your requirements and what they have on offer. They can advise on lighting, flooring and planning. Their team have many years in the marquee industry and will give you the best advise around.
Contact Spencer the owner of DIY Marquees and he will direct you to the right staff to speak to.

Little Mahantango Creek is a tributary of Mahantango Creek in Schuylkill County and Northumberland County, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately  long and flows through Eldred Township and Upper Mahantongo Township in Schuylkill County and Upper Mahanoy Township in Northumberland County. The watershed of the creek has an area of . The creek has many unnamed tributaries and sub-tributaries; all of them, as well as the main stem, are impaired. The cause of impairment in Little Mahantango Creek is sedimentation/siltation and the probable source of impairment is agriculture.

The main rock formations in the vicinity of Little Mahantango Creek include the Irish Valley Member, the Trimmers Rock Formation, the Duncannon Member, and the Sherman Creek Member. The main soils in the vicinity of the creek include the Leck Kill-Minersville-Calvin soil, the Berks-Weikert-Beddington soil, and the Hazelton-Dekalb-Buchnnan soil. The main land use near it is agricultural land, but forested land and developed land are also present. A number of bridges have been constructed across the creek.

Course
Little Mahantango Creek begins near Line Mountain, in Eldred Township, Schuylkill County. It flows south-southeast for a short distance before turning west-southwest, receiving an unnamed tributary from the right. After several tenths of a mile, the creek turns south for a few tenths of a mile, receiving an unnamed tributary from the right and two unnamed tributaries from the left. It then flows in a generally west-southwesterly direction for a few miles, occasionally flowing west-northwest for short distances, and receiving one unnamed tributary from the right and two from the left before turning northwest. Several tenths of a mile further downstream, the creek turns west-northwest, receiving two more unnamed tributaries  from the right (in the process crossing Pennsylvania Route 125) and entering Upper Mahanoy Township, Northumberland County.

Upon entering Northumberland County, Little Mahantango Creek soon receives an unnamed tributary from the right and turns south, reentering Eldred Township, Schuylkill County. The creek flows southwest for several tenths of a mile and receives an unnamed tributary from the right and another from the left before entering Upper Mahantongo Township, where it turns west-southwest, receiving another unnamed tributary from the right before turning west-northwest. A few tenths of a mile further downstream, the creek turns west-southwest for several tenths of a mile, receiving three unnamed tributaries from the right. It then turns south for a few tenths of a mile before turning west and then west-southwest, receiving two unnamed tributaries from the right. The creek then gradually turns south-southeast, receiving one more unnamed tributary from the right in the process. After several tenths of a mile of flowing south-southeast, it reaches its confluence with Mahantango Creek.

Little Mahantango Creek joins Mahantango Creek  upstream of its mouth.

Hydrology
Reaches of Little Mahantango Creek are designated as an impaired waterbody. The cause of the impairment is sedimentation/siltation and the probable source is agriculture. The entirety of the creek and all of its unnamed tributaries and sub-tributaries are designated as impaired.

In July 1998, the water temperature of Little Mahantango Creek near Pitman was once measured to be , while at Line Mountain, it was measured to be . The instantaneous discharge of the creek was  near Pitman and  at Line Mountain. The specific conductance was 199 micro-siemens per centimeter at  near Pitman and 188 micro-siemens per centimeter at  at Line Mountain. The concentration of nitrogen in nitrate in the creek was  near Pitman and  at Line Mountain.

Geography and geology
The elevation near the mouth of Little Mahantango Creek is  above sea level. The elevation near the creek's source is  above sea level.

The geology surrounding most of the length of Little Mahantango Creek consists of the Irish Valley Member and the Trimmers Rock Formation. However, the Sherman Creek Member is present near parts of the creek's middle and upper reaches, as well as at the mouth. The geology at the headwaters of the creek consists of rock of the Duncannon Member.

The main soil occurring in the vicinity of Little Mahantango Creek is the Leck Kill-Minersville-Calvin soil. However, the Berks-Weikert-Beddington soil occurs near the middle reaches of the creek and the Hazelton-Dekalb-Buchnnan soil occurs near its headwaters.

Watershed
The watershed of Little Mahantango Creek has an area of . The mouth of the creek is in the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Valley View. However, its source is in the quadrangle of Tremont. The creek's mouth is situated near Valley View.

The main land use in the vicinity of Little Mahantango Creek is agricultural land. However, there are some areas of forested land and some small patches of developed land as well.

The designated use for Little Mahantango Creek is aquatic life.

History
Little Mahantango Creek was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1192805.

In 1793, David Klock received a warranty deed for a  tract of land nicknamed "Beauty" on Little Mahantango Creek. Historically, there was a carding or fulling mill on the creek.

A steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying Pennsylvania Route 125 was constructed across Little Mahantango Creek in 1932 and repaired in 1956. This bridge is  long. A steel girder and floorbeam system bridge carrying State Route 4014 was constructed over the creek in 1949 and is  long. In 1963, a steel stringer/multi-beam or girder bridge carrying Tannenbaum Road was constructed over the creek and is  long. A concrete slab bridge carrying Mill Road across the creek was built in 1973 and is  long. A concrete frame bridge carrying T-468 (Hepler Road) over the creek was built in 2009 and is  long.

Venturi maskes provide a specific % concentration of oxygen. They are well suited for patients at risk of type 2 respiratory failure and especially suited to those with COPD. The % of oxygen delivered by a venturi mask can be modified by changing removable 'entrainers'. The required oxygen flow rate for a particular entrainer is stamped onto the entrainer- increasing the oxygen flow rate will not change the % oxygen delivered to the patient.

TMBA624: The Emotional Toll of the Entrepreneurial Journey
Today's episode is all about an emotional journey that was born out of this very podcast, and the unique mental health challenges that entrepreneurs face. Bunty SomRoy took a huge risk back in 2015 when he decided to volunteer at one of our Dynamite Circle events in Bangkok. Since then, he has gone through many stages of the entrepreneurial journey; hustling as a freelancer, taking a job at a startup, and finally running a successful business of his own. It wasn't all wine and roses, though. Bunty encountered some harrowing mental health struggles along the way, and he joins us on the podcast this week to share his very personal story.
TMBA623: It's Never Too Late to Find a Business Partner
When today's guest spoke at our recent event in Mexico City, we were taken by his story because it presented a captivating alternative to the traditional bootstrap business partnerships that we've encountered over the years. Tommy Griffith is the founder of ClickMinded, an online SEO training course, and he has joined us many times over the years to share the story of that business. His story took an unexpected turn when he decided to take on a co-founder after he had already been operating his business for five years.

One of our favorite parts about these events is that we get an up-close-and-personal look as all kinds of exciting trends start to emerge in the community.
TMBA620: The Upside of Running an Agency
Today's podcast is all about a business model that sometimes gets a bad rap on this show: "the agency". We recently bumped into our friend Johnathan Solorzano at MicroConf in Austin, and he had quite a bit to say about the subject. Johnathan is the founder of Solo Media Group, a remote agency of web developers that focuses primarily on Shopify and WooCommerce projects.
TMBA619: Does Your Business Need an "Operating System"?
In last week's podcast, Carrie McKeegan shared how she has been using author Gino Wickman's EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to help her grow and manage her team. This week, we're diving deeper into the topic by speaking with an entrepreneur who has developed their own customized version of the very same system with impressive results.

TMBA612: Mailbag: Avoiding Drama in Your Business
We are once again reaching into the mailbag this week to answer some pressing questions from the Tropical MBA audience.

The term "Digital Nomad" has been beaten to death over the years, but it still means a lot to those of us who have identified with that label. James Clark is certainly one of those people. He's been a full-time nomad since the early 2000s, and we've shared many great memories with him around the world.
TMBA607: The Lonely Path of the Solopreneur
Longtime listeners know that Dan and Ian have been business partners for many years, and sometimes it's hard for us to imagine what it would be like to run a business on our own. So many entrepreneurs do choose this path, though, and the quest of a "Solopreneur" can be a long and arduous one.
TMBA606: Reflections on 10 Years of Running an Online Community
We aren't usually the type for navel-gazing, but this summer marks an important milestone for us. 10 years ago, our desire to "find our tribe" led us to form the Dynamite Circle, a private membership community of location-independent entrepreneurs. Since then, there have been dozens of DC events all over the globe, and it has truly become a life-changing adventure for so many of the people involved in the community over the last decade.
TMBA605: What Makes a Great Remote Employee?
This week's episode was inspired by a question from a listener. Katie recently graduated with her master's degree, and while she appreciated the insight that we've shared in the past about how to get a remote job, she wanted to know more about what it takes to succeed at a remote position once you get it. This got our wheels spinning, and we put together a list of five important factors that can help employees become "A Players" in their remote positions.

Jesse Schoberg is the co-founder and CEO of DropInBlog.com, a Software as a Service platform that helps users add blogs to their websites.
TMBA602: 5 Strategies for Growing an 8-Figure Business
A few weeks ago we said something on this podcast in jest, but one of our more attentive listeners latched onto it. "I find myself some days waking up and saying 'are we going to make it?'" Our good friend John Ainsworth heard this and he reached out to us with a little bit of concern, hoping to find out more.
TMBA601: Creating Meaningful Online Communities
We've learned over the years on this show that being a part of a community of like-minded people is one of the most valuable experiences that you can have as an entrepreneur. This was our core motivation for forming The Dynamite Circle, our own online community of location-independent entrepreneurs, back in 2011. We originally built that community on a platform called Ning, largely because it was the best option on the market at the time, and it served us well for many years.
TMBA600: Why It's So Hard to Replicate Success with Derrick Reimer
This week's episode is full of so many recurring themes that we've seen over the years on this podcast, from the unique struggles that SaaS businesses face, to the decision between bootstrapping and funding, and much more. Derrick Reimer has had a long and storied career as a software entrepreneur, but he is perhaps best known as the technical co-founder of Drip, which he built alongside our good friend and former guest Rob Walling.
TMBA599: The Art of Acquiring Businesses
We've shared a lot of stories on this podcast from entrepreneurs who have started their own businesses, but one strategy we've increasingly seen to accelerate the path to wealth is to purchase a business that already exists and to leverage debt to do so.

He's also an extremely savvy marketer, with tons of important insights into the future of social media and internet marketing.
TMBA597: Five Things We Can't Stop Thinking About in May 2021
This week's podcast is a little bit out of the ordinary. While we have been busier than ever this month over at Dynamite Jobs, we still can't help but find things on the internet to get worked up about. We thought it would be fun to take a look at five specific news items and ideas that have recently come across our desk that we just can't stop thinking about.
TMBA596: What's Really Stopping You From Achieving Wealth?
Welcome back to another episode in our long-running series The Re-Readables, where we revisit some of our favorite business books to find out if they stand the test of time. How to Get Rich was written in 2009 by author and entrepreneur Felix Dennis. Felix was the founder of Maxim magazine, and he aimed to create a book about getting rich from "someone who didn't need to write it". The result is incredibly funny, direct, and thought-provoking.

Hundreds of rare snow leopards illegally killed every year: study | Reuters
Hundreds of snow leopards are killed illegally every year in remote mountains from China to Tajikistan, further endangering the big cats that number only a few thousand in the wild, a report said on Friday.
Prices ranged up to $10,000 for the carcasses, prized for thick light-colored fur with dark spots, according to the study by TRAFFIC, an international network which monitors wildlife trade.
An estimated 221 to 450 snow leopards were killed annually since 2008 despite bans in 12 Asian nations where they live, it said. TRAFFIC said there were many uncertainties because the leopards live in inaccessible regions including the Himalayas.
About half were shot by farmers to protect goats, sheep and other livestock, with many carcasses then sold, it said. Others were targeted by poachers or trapped in snares meant to catch other animals such as deer.
Still, it said there were some successes in protecting the animals. Only one leopard skin was found on sale in the central Chinese city of Linxia in a 2011 survey, against 60 in 2007.
A Red List of endangered species estimates the global population of snow leopards at between 4,080 and 6,590. International trade in snow leopards has been banned since 1975.
Before that, according to TRAFFIC, one 1960s U.S. fur coat advertisement, for instance, said:
Also In Environment
"Untamed … the Snow Leopard, provocatively dangerous. A mankiller. Born free in the wild whiteness of the high Himalayas only to be snared as part of the captivating new fur collection".

Il Blohm & Voss Ha 139 era un idrovolante quadrimotore a lungo raggio prodotto dall'azienda tedesca Blohm & Voss GmbH negli anni trenta e caratterizzato dalla configurazione alare "ad ala di gabbiano rovesciate" (o a "W") ed impennaggio bideriva.

Utilizzato come aereo di linea ed aereo postale dalla DLH sulle rotte transatlantiche tra il 1937 ed il 1939, l'Ha 139 risultava in quel momento uno dei più grandi idrovolanti mai costruiti.

Nel 1935 la DLH contattò la Blohm & Voss richiedendo la pianificazione di un progetto di un idrovolante che avesse la capacità di trasvolare l'oceano Atlantico. I progettisti realizzarono su queste specifiche l'Ha 139, il quale avrebbe potuto trasportare, alla velocità di 250 km/h, 500 kg di merce ad una distanza di 5 000 km.

Il primo esemplare realizzato, indicato secondo le convenzioni di designazione Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) Ha 139 V1 (da versuchsflugzeug, prototipo) e battezzato "Nordmeer" ("Mare del Nord"), venne immatricolato D-AMIE quindi portato in volo per la prima volta nel 1936. Fu in seguito consegnato alla DLH nell'estate del 1937 assieme al secondo esemplare costruito, denominato Ha 139 V2 "Nordwind" (D-AJEY, W.-Nr.182), per essere utilizzati sulla tratta Horta (Azzorre) - New York. Questi grandi idrovolanti, che effettuarono regolarmente servizio da agosto sino a novembre del 1937, erano supportati da apposite navi appoggio, la Friesenland e la Schwabenland. Per il decollo utilizzavano un'apposita rampa di lancio situata sul ponte mentre al ritorno erano issati a bordo per le operazioni di carico e scarico. Dopo l'esperienza nei voli transoceanici, i due esemplari vennero modificati nella parte posteriore con una coda di nuovo disegno e spostando i radiatori situati sotto le ali. Queste modifiche furono deliberate per la costruzione di nuovi modelli, che grazie a queste avrebbero dovuto assumere la denominazione definitiva di Ha 139 B.

Il terzo ed ultimo velivolo, denominato Ha 139 V3 (B) "Nordstern" (D-ASTA, W.-Nr.217) e realizzato alla fine del 1938, era dotato di una maggiore apertura alare (29,50 m) e dell'ultima evoluzione dei motori Junkers Jumo 205 C accreditati di 660 CV. Quest'ultimo continuò il servizio sulla tratta Horta (Azzorre) - New York tra il 21 luglio ed il 19 ottobre 1938 ed in seguito raggiungendo Bathurst (in Gambia) e Natal (in Brasile).

Impiego operativo

Allo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale, gli Ha 139 V1 e V2 sono stati acquisiti dalla Luftwaffe ed utilizzati come aereo da trasporto nelle operazioni per l'occupazione della Norvegia. Il terzo Ha 139 venne ulteriormente rivisto, dotandolo di un impennaggio con nuove derive modificate, un nuovo muso vetrato ed utilizzato come ricognitore marittimo sul Mar Baltico con la denominazione di Ha 139 V3/U1 (o Ha 139 B/217).

Successivamente, immatricolato P5+GH, venne ridesignato Ha 139 MS (MS = Magnetspule, ovvero bobina magnetica) dotato di un dispositivo magnetico per l'individuazione di mine, riconoscibile da un caratteristico anello metallico, detto anello Mausi. Non essendosi rivelati particolarmente adatti ad un uso militare la loro produzione venne presto interrotta a favore del Blohm und Voss Bv 142, un nuovo modello sviluppato sulle esperienze del Ha 139.

Versioni
Ha 139 V1
primo prototipo della versione civile destinato alla Deutsche Luft Hansa (DLH), realizzato nel 1936 e battezzato Nordmeer (W.-Nr.181).
Ha 139 V2
secondo prototipo, realizzato nel 1937 e battezzato Nordwind.
Ha 139 V3/U1
terzo prototipo, lievemente modificato, realizzato nel 1938 e battezzato Nordstern. Riconvertito in aereo da rilevamento e distruzione mine venne successivamente ridesignato Ha 139B/MS ed utilizzato dalla Luftwaffe.

october construction jobs register yet one more increase
New jobs in the construction industry nationally were up by more than 30,000 during the month of October, a record statistic matched by an overall yearly gain since October of 2017 of 315,000 workers.
These are the latest numbers compiled by the Associated General Contractors of America, which also show that the industry's unemployment rate has dropped to 3.6 percent.
Total national construction employment is now at just over 7.3 million—and that's a jump of 4.7 percent since last fall.
One of the hotspots, according to the AGC statistics, is in residential construction, which has seen a 5.3 percent employment growth, for a total of 143,500 new jobs.
Additional increases were posted in heavy and civil engineering construction, with slightly lower growth rate of 5.3 percent, for a total of 187,200 new jobs.
The overall unemployment rate for the construction industry as of last month is now at 3.6 percent, a record low. Last year at this time it stood at 4.5 percent.
Additional information provided by the AGC reveals industry optimism heading into 2019, with between 74 and 79 percent of company respondents nationally saying they expect to hire more qualified workers in the coming year.
And, according to the survey, the larger the company, the more likely it will be hiring.
Some 79 percent of firms netting between $10 and $50 million a year expect to bring on more workers next year; 80 percent of firms making between $50 and $500 million will add workers; while a very large 87 percent of firms in the $500 million range and above have announced plans to increase hiring.


I was busy with a Mother's Day family get together yesterday, so I didn't have much time to obsessively check my stats all day. To be honest, I didn't have the motivation either. Friday's results were so discouraging, I thought, What's the point?
Still, here's the data that I did come up with. I started the day by tweeting and posting on Facebook and had other people tweeting too.
Between 21:52 and 23:59 Saturday night, there were five more downloads.
So how did the KDP free promotion affect my sales? Well, on Sunday–the morning after—my book was ranked 253, 780, and by 7:03 a.m., I had made one sale. I don't know what time the sale went through. My guess is that it was somebody at the tail end of the promotion trying to get it for free but not succeeding. I could be wrong, though.
It will be interesting to see what happens this next week. Will I have the lingering sales boost that other KDP authors experience once their free promotions are over? Or will my book just disappear back into obscurity?
I have one more free day left for my current 90-day enrollment in the KDP Select program. I'm trying to decide now which would be the best day to schedule it. And I think I have a pretty good idea.

Welcome to Kilamba, the city with the most growth potential in Angola, situated only 20 km from capital Luanda. Preparing to welcome 200,000 people within three years, Kilamba has become one of the largest development projects in Africa.
A FORMER Portuguese colony, Angola gained its independence in November 1975, placing the country in a rather interesting socio-economic situation. On one hand, the country witnessed two civil wars since its independence. Lasting over 30 years altogether, these wars strongly influenced Angola's social, economic, and political development. On the other hand, Angola has taken advantage of their large quantities of oil as well as other natural assets to boost their country's development. By 2002, the installation of oil extraction infrastructure enabled the country to dramatically increase its cash flow, making it possible for Angola to invest in urban super-development projects.
Since 2007, the new town of Kilamba began its construction around the capital Luanda. The colossal building project covers an area of 8.8 square kilometers, and will eventually offer 25,000 homes for more than 200,000 inhabitants. In total, 1% of Angola's population will be able to reside in Kilamba. The new city plans to establish 17 schools and 24 daycare centers to provide care and education for children, as well as open 240 stores to drive the local economy. In the first phase, 115 buildings, 3,180 apartments, 48 shops, and 10,000 km of roads were built.
Angola needs this type of development initiative: the majority of the population still lives below the poverty line and under precarious living conditions. Life expectancy is 43 years, the infant mortality rate is 180 per thousand, and the fertility rate is 6.5 children per woman. In order to grow, Angola must channel its human resources. The Kilamba project is the perfect initiative.
Unlike certain parts of the country where electrical load shedding is required, Kilamba lives on its own supply sub-stations. The same goes for water supplies- sub-stations producing drinking water are strategically scattered around the city. Additionally, a catchment station will be constructed to bring in mass amounts of water from the Kwanza River, ensuring the city's daily operations. Drainage is also accounted for with a network of underground galleries as well as a waste-water treatment plant.
Numerous economic actors have taken part in this mammoth project. First we find Imobiliaria Sonangol, a subsidiary of Sonangol, the public enterprise in charge of operations producing oil and natural gas in Angola. Highly enriched by its core business, Sonangol developed numerous subsidiaries in telecommunications, air transport, and seismic equipment. The Imobiliaria Sonangol branch manages large-scale industrial projects, and Sonangol will be in charge of marketing all the homes in the city.
The funds were advanced by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (the first bank in the world in market capitalization), in which a line of credit was granted. China Communications Construction ensures the deployment of telecommunications, and the China Road and Bridge Corporation provides road construction. Behind this project for the Angolan population, we find a line of Chinese suppliers, yet one might wonder: how can this be explained?
Management of the entire project is provided by the Pierson Capital Group, offering expert financial engineering, strategic consulting, and investment in major projects. The Pierson Group also creates a link between Angola and China, thus engaging China in the economic and social situations of Angola. Conducted by Pierre Falcone, an international businessman for several decades, the Pierson Capital group has locations in the United States, Mexico and China. In the '80s Pierre Falcone had already used its presence in China to help AXA get its first license as an insurer in the country. Pierre Falcone was also a consultant to Aerospatiale at that time.
Kilamba, the city of 200,000 inhabitants, is a Sino-Angolan project across the board. With a level social organization, everything is already planned: the collection of waste (and raising awareness), maintaining green space through lighting, as well as equipment maintenance. Taxes will be introduced to the inhabitants of the city along with all the essential administrative components (the electoral register, civil registration office, finance department).
Kilamba is not only a building project, but also a social project, a global project, and a project of progress. Those involved in its construction closely follow its developments as Kilamba continues to be discussed as a model that could potentially be sold to other countries.


Even though English continues to be the only international language forever, the need for English learning will diminish.That is not due to the progress of international politics, but by the advancement of technology.
Many people have studied English so far for communication. Because there is no other way of communication with foreigners, if there is any other way for those studying English, and if it does not take much time and effort, learning English is not necessary.
In this post, let's think about the possibility of machine translation as an alternative to learning English.
When translating Einstein 's biographies in Japanese and publishing them, one chapter is incorrectly published as he forgot to fix it after using machine translation. The first version containing original machine translation came to be sold at high price in secondhand books with premium.
"damn pigs" was translated as "awesome pigs" in Japanese, for example. Looking at it, machine translation is certainly terrible but it may not be that bad as a whole.
Compared to machines translated and translated by the translators, the modified version is definitely much easier to read. However, it can be fully understood by machine translation. 80% is understandable.
In order for Japanese to understand this original text and to be in quantity, they have to study English at elementary school, junior high school, high school, university for over 10 years(it takes longer for Japanese people). On the other hand, if it is machine translation, it can be done with one button.
It would be super much better to read books to educate with that precious time for instance.
Then again let me clarify this, international couple for example, of course I do not think that machine translation will replace this whole thing. We want to, and should, learn language to have a real communication with emotion and stuff, that's beautiful.
Many people say "Machine translation is useless." Such people are usually comparing perfect translation and imperfect translation that machine does.
To compare fairly like this, machine translation beats in terms of efficiency.

This 21-credit minor is designed for any undergraduate student at UMD and complements a variety of majors and career goals. Students will learn about bilingualism and biliteracy while also exploring how sociocultural factors contribute to language development.
The United States has typically been thought of as a monolingual society; however, multilingualism has been on the rise, and the number of U.S. residents who speak a language other than English has more than doubled since the 1990s. In 2017, close to 67 million residents reported speaking another language at home, a trend that is particularly noticeable in America's largest cities where 48.2% of residents reported speaking a language other than English.
The TESOL & Multilingual Education program is a useful, practical addition to many majors. Even though this minor does not lead to licensure, it aims to prepare UMD students for future studies in education and related fields in the human services. The core courses cover topics such as second language acquisition, language analysis, language ideology, equity issues related to assessment practices, teaching methods, and foundations of immersion education and content-based language instruction. For those who do not plan to teach, the program provides an opportunity to deepen cultural competence and intercultural communication skills, which are skills that employers are looking for.

Sunoco net falls on rising crude, refining costs
By Jim Jelter
Published: May 3, 2006 7:49 p.m. ET
JimJelter
Corporate news editor
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil refiner Sunoco Inc. said its first-quarter profit fell 32% from a year ago, clobbered by the soaring price of crude oil and the rising cost of operating and maintaining its plants.
Sunoco SUN, +1.40%, which runs a fleet of refineries on the East Coast and in the Midwest, said net income for the first three months of the year dropped to $79 million, or 59 cents a share, up from $116 million, or 83 cents, a year ago.
Sales for the quarter rose 19%, however, to $8.59 billion from $7.21 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson First Call had been looking for Philadelphia-based Sunoco to hand in earnings of 92 cents a share on $6.39 billion in revenue.
"High beginning-of-the-year refined product inventories and unseasonably warm winter weather in the northeastern United States negatively impacted refining margins while rising crude oil prices squeezed retail gasoline and chemical margins during the quarter," Sunoco Chairman and CEO John Drosdick said in a statement accompanying the report.
Drosdick said Sunoco's refineries ran through the quarter at an average 93% capacity utilization rate while it carried out seasonal maintenance and upgrades ahead of the summer driving season, which starts in late May. That's down from the 97% capacity utilization rate it reported a year ago.
He also warned that the federally-mandated transition to ethanol-based gasoline additives and cleaner-burning diesel fuel "present significant manufacturing and logistical challenges for the industry."
Sunoco has spent about $700 million to meet stricter fuel standards and plans to spend another $2 billion over the next three years to expand its current 900,000 barrel-per-day refining capacity, he added.
Drosdick's comments come amid a public outcry over record-high gasoline prices at the pump, driven by crude oil prices stubbornly stuck above $70 a barrel and a shortage of domestic refining capacity in the face of ever rising demand. See related story
Sunoco shares closed before the report at $82.02, a 1.9% decline for the day. Since the start of the year, Sunoco shares have gained 3.4%, lagging a 16% gain for the sector as benchmarked by the Amex Oil Index $XOI.

Q: GET vs. POST in Session Validation So I just read this article by Jeff Atwood and I wanted to make sure I understand it correctly as to how it applies to my use case. I am trying to validate a session for silent login. For security purposes this should be done with a POST right? Does it matter? I am just passing the sessionID and username from the cookie.

A: When it comes to CSRF (Cross-site request forgery), you can cause a user to take any action on any site which they are logged in to provided that the action requires only a GET. Forcing this to be done over a POST request defeats the approach of embedding an image, script tag, whatever in another page.
Even POST isn't completely secure in this scenario. There are other ways to mount a CSRF attack on a site using POST. Clickjacking/UI-Redressing enables another site to trick a user into submitting a form to a different website.
Basically the best way to validate is to add an automatically generated, hidden form element. You can store this inside your session data (Example: $_SESSION for PHP) so that you only need to generate a token at the start of a session. Of course, an attack could try do something like clickjacking (mentioned above) in combination with a iframe pointing directly to your site and possibly some JS to hide things a little.
For anything important you should re-prompt the user for their password, thereby greatly diminishing the value of any successful CSRF attacks.
