Q: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer won't work in iOS 13 simulator The UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer won't call its action selector when I deploy on the iOS 13 simulator. The same code works for iOS 12 simulator devices and on real iOS 13 hardware.
override func viewDidLoad() {
  super.viewDidLoad()

  let edgePan = UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(screenEdgeSwiped))
    edgePan.edges = .left
    view.addGestureRecognizer(edgePan)
}

@objc func screenEdgeSwiped(_ recognizer: UIScreenEdgePanGestureRecognizer) {
  if recognizer.state == .recognized {
    print("swipe gesture recognized ✔")
  }
}

I've created a small sample project. Swiping in the iOS 12 simulator works. In the iOS 13 simulator the selector method screenEdgeSwiped won't be called.

A: Try enabling Window > Show Device Bezels for the iOS Simulator. I filed a bug with Apple regarding this feature not working as it did previously (FB7253111) but they said this was an intentional change.

Q: Sinatra does not support multiple lines? For the following code, why does only "World" gets printed
get '/' do
 "Hello"
 "World"
end

A: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe in plain ruby, the last line evaluated is what gets returned.

A: Tomas correctly answered your question, but one way to do what I think you're meaning to do (output multiple lines), you could use:
get '/' do
  output =<<EOS
Hello
World
EOS
  output
end

A: This has nothing to do with sinatra itself. It just uses the return value of the block and in ruby the return value is the last evaluated expression, which in your case is "World". This might work for you:
get '/' do
  r = "Hello"
  r += "World"
end

In this case you add as many string values to r as you want and the last expression would return the complete string "HelloWorld".

A: You could use a line break char to separate lines..
get '/' do
"Hello\nWorld"
end

A: Don't confuse your controller with your view.
What you're probably looking for is this:
get '/' do
  haml :hello_world
end

And then in views/hello_world.haml:
Hello
World

A: I agree with Matt.
If you want you can use that method with one file too.
 get '/' do
   erb :hello_world
 end

__END__
@@hello_world
hello
world
I just use puts inside my controller to get some debug printed to STDOUT.

Q: Is this okay to use double proxy-server setup? One on host and one in centainer One nginx server on host machine with renewable ssl certificate (via certbot). And another nginx server inside docker container. First one should redirect all traffic to the second one.
Currently I have one nginx service inside container and I connect certificates that stored on host to that server via volumes. But with this kind of setup I can't renew certificates automatically...

A: You could try to get and renew certificate at container and somehow share it with proxy server(mount any common method dir with certificates).
renew cert at container
reload nginx at container server
reload nginx at proxy server
its not a simple solution - you should monitor always if your proxy server lost mounted directory, but it looks like a solution.

China Joins World Powers in Strong Warning to North Korea
China has joined other world powers in warning North Korea that they will not tolerate any more provocations after the isolated nation's failed rocket launch last week.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said late Monday in Brasilia that the U.N. Security Council members, including China, are agreed there will be "further consequences" in the event of another provocative act by North Korea. Recent satellite photographs show Pyongyang may be preparing for an underground nuclear test Impact crusher spare parts.
China's state-controlled media are also showing signs of frustration with Pyongyang, noting that China took "a clear attitude in condemning" its longtime ally when it backed a U.N. Security Council statement criticizing the rocket launch.
China's Communist Party-controlled Global Times newspaper said Tuesday that Pyongyang should not be misled into thinking it can ignore Beijing's wishes with impunity. The paper said North Korea will "pay the price if it tries to abduct China's North Korea policy."
In its unanimous statement Monday, the Security Council condemned Friday's rocket launch as a "serious violation" of existing U.N. resolutions, and ordered its sanctions committee to tighten measures aimed at preventing North Korea from developing and exporting nuclear and missile technology. The statement said the council will respond accordingly to any further provocations.
Pyongyang had announced the failed launch as an effort to put a weather satellite into orbit, but the United States and other countries condemned it as a covert attempt to test a ballistic missile that could later be used to fire a nuclear warhead. Existing U.N. resolutions bar it from any use of ballistic missile technology.
Japanese media reported Tuesday that Pyongyang has also withdrawn an invitation for International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to visit its facilities in retaliation for the U.S. cancelation of a food aid package.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, who heads the Security Council this month, said in New York Monday that the failed space shot had caused "grave security concerns" across much Crusher spare parts of East Asia.
"The swift and unanimous adoption of this strong presidential statement shows that the international community is united in sending a clear message to North Korea that such provocations are serious and totally unacceptable. Critically, the Security Council made clear there will be consequences for any further North Korean launch or nuclear test," she said. "If North Korea chooses again to defy the international community, then the Council has expressed its determination to take action accordingly."
Hours later in Brasilia, Clinton stressed China's commitment to punishing any further provocations. China has long been North Korea's most reliable ally and is believed to have more influence over its behavior than any other country.
Several analysts have noted that two previous failed North Korean missile launches were shortly followed by underground nuclear tests. South Korean officials last week made available satellite photos of new activity at North Korea's nuclear test site.
However, Global Times quotes the dean of the Center for Korean Peninsula Studies at Tongji University in Shanghai as saying Pyongyang knows the consequences of another nuclear test would be much graver than in the past Genuine spare parts.
"The rocket launch has already cost the state roughly $850 million, enough to buy 2.5 million tons of corn," Cui Zhiying told the paper. "Does it have enough money to carry out another nuclear test? I seriously doubt it."

Papadakis E., Mansouri Seyed S., Huusom Jakob K., Abildskov J., 2018, Analysis and Evaluation of a Heat Integrated Horizontal Distillation System, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 69, 643-648.
We present a model-based approach to analyze a heat integrated horizontal distillation system for separating mixture of light alcohols from second-generation biomass. The objective is to highlight the application of an engineering tool developed based on process system engineering methods. The tool is used to analyze and evaluate the proposed separation system and to provide guidelines with respect to specific design and process variables. The model is used to perform sensitivity analysis studies on important variables such as mass and heat transfer coefficients, interfacial area and to perform simulation studies to investigate the sensitivity system performance to heat transfer area, product purity and recovery. The objective of the sensitivity analysis of the transport coefficients is to show the effect of possible deviations on the performance of the process and to provide detailed knowledge. The analysis has shown that changes in transport coefficients do not affect the performance of the system unless there are significant deviations (>80%). Simulation studies in heat transfer area show that increased heat transfer area leads to process improvements in terms of energy consumption.


''A few years ago I found an interesting titbit which, I believe, clears up any mystery surrounding how he was saved. His photograph appears in the May 4, 1912 issue of the Illustrated London News along with other crewmen who had returned to England. The caption of the photo says that he was in the water for his hand and feet were frost-bitten. It seems clear that Prangnell was picked up by the Carpathia along with all the other survivors, and that he returned to England along with the majority of the crew. The only mystery appears to be, ''Why did he invent the story of being picked up by another ship?''. The photo makes it clear that he didn't remain in hospital in America for a long time after the disaster as he later claimed. We'll probably never know the whole story behind Prangnell's account, unfortunately, but I feel reasonably confident in saying that he was rescued by the Carpathia.

Q: What happened on Dec 31 1969 at 7:00 PM Every time in PHP when I make a variable such as this one:
$date = strtotime($row['date']);
$date = date("M d Y \a\\t g:i A", $date); // Mmm dd YYYY at h:mm PM/AM

and somehow row['date'] happens to be 0, the date Dec 31 1969 at 7:00 PM is displayed on the screen? Google does not tell me much, I was wondering if this date had any significances.

A: Unix timestamps are measured in "time since the Unix Epoch", which is Midnight GMT at the end of Dec. 31 1969 (a.k.a. 00:00 GMT Jan 1 1970). Since you appear to be on Eastern Standard Time, which is GMT-5, you get 7pm Dec. 31st 1969 for a unix timestamp value of 0.

A: The Unix epoch is the time 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970.  This is the reference point for all time stamps.  When you use PHP's date/time functions, you're always working with the number of seconds since the epoch.  Time 0 is the epoch, and you (or your web server) must be on the east coast of the US, which is 5 hours behind UTC time.

A: Let me guess: you live on the east coast of the USA?
PHP, like many other systems uses the Unix epoch to measure time, i.e. a value of 0 represents  January 1, 1970, midnight UTC - which is the same as Dec 31 1969 at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

A: I find it funny that not a single response here attempted to answer your actual question, which was (if I can paraphrase) "What is the significance of the actual date of Unix epoch time"?
I'm not an expert on the subject but basically, as I understand it, the concept of epoch time was invented in 1971.  The programmers chose the arbitrary date of January 1, 1971 GMT to be epoch time.  This was partly due to the fact that older computers couldn't handle large numbers so the date had to be in the recent past.  Afterwards, epoch time was adjusted to be Jan 1, 1970 so as to be a nice, round number.
So basically, nothing "happened" on that date.  It was an arbitrary date chosen based on the original time of the work being done.

A: One format in which date objects are stored is the time in seconds that have elapsed from an arbitrary start time.  Asking for a formatted version of "0" is like asking for that arbitrary start time.  I don't remember why that date was chosen, but I'm sure Wikipedia does.  See the article on Unix time below.

Our reading group has been enjoying stories from our Connect book bin. We found two books about friendship and sibling relationships that we could really relate to as the characters had feelings just like we do: frustration, impatience, jealousy, regret and forgiveness. All such normal feelings as we interact with friends and brothers and sisters.
Matthew and Tilly, written by Rebecca C. Jones and illustrated by Beth Peck explores the feelings of friendship and forgiveness. This is a short but powerful story about best friends that argue, as friends do, but then find it easy to forgive each other when they realize that favourite activities are just not the same without a friend. We discussed the story and wrote responses.
Judy Blume's The Pain and The Great One is a humourous account of a brother and sister told from each perspective. Each thinks the other is loved more by their parents and explains clearly why it is just not fair. The Great One thinks her younger brother is a messy slowpoke who is super annoying – doing things to her like singing and dancing around her when she talks on the phone. The Pain thinks his older sister is a bossy know-it-all who unfairly gets to do things that he can't. like feed the cat just because she knows how to use the can opener. Big issues in his little world!


We've lined a few of the fundamentals of water chemistry within the final two articles, and now we're able to put all of it collectively.
Step one is to begin with chlorine-free water of appropriate high quality for brewing and decreasing the alkalinity if wanted.
After getting an understanding of focusing on an optimum vary for the mash pH and brought steps to make use of non-alkaline water for sparging, the subsequent step is to think about using brewing salts within the water to additional improve the flavour of your beer.
Calcium (in Gypsum and Calcium Chloride): Calcium is the first ion that determines hardness of the water. It helps with reducing the pH throughout mashing, helps with precipitations of proteins within the boil (sizzling break), enhances yeast flocculation, and assists in stopping beerstone. Many lagers are made with very low ranges of calcium, so it's not required however could be useful within the quantities 50-100 ppm.
Magnesium (Epsom Salt or MgSO4): Additionally answerable for offering hardness to the water, it could present a bitter/bitter taste to the beer in quantities of 30 ppm or extra. It has a laxative impact in a lot bigger quantities. Malt offers the entire magnesium required for yeast well being, so it's not required as an addition except including sulfate within the presence of a excessive calcium degree (utilizing epsom salts, or MgSO4).
Sulfate: Sulfate is the ion that's used to intensify hop bitterness by enhancing the dryness of the end. Additions are usually averted in continental lagers or solely utilized in small quantities, typically 30 ppm or much less, and in most ales the perfect quantity is 30-70 ppm. For extremely hopped beers, the specified sulfate degree could also be a lot greater: 150-300 ppm for IPAs or west coast APAs. That can make the end appear extra crisp and dry. If utilizing 150 ppm or greater, the chloride degree must be beneath 50 ppm to keep away from a minerally end to the beer.
Chloride: Chloride accentuates a fullness or "roundness" of taste within the beer, enhancing the malt sweetness. It's typically used within the 40-100 ppm vary in lots of beers, however within the New England IPA model, the chloride is commonly over 100 ppm, as much as 150 ppm.
Sodium (Non-iodized desk salt or NaCl): Sodium rounds out the malt flavors, and can be utilized in modest quantities (beneath 150 ppm). The next focus could make the beer style salty, and having a excessive sodium mixed with a excessive sulfate degree can create a harsh bitterness. It's typically acknowledged that preserving the sodium at 0-60 is a secure guess, and utilizing brewing water sourced from a water softener is to be averted.
Baking Soda (NaHCO3 or sodium bicarbonate): That is used if alkalinity is required to lift mash PH, and likewise offers sodium.
Many people can keep in mind the older man on the bar with a faucet beer in entrance of him utilizing a salt shaker to sprinkle salt in his beer. Trying on the record, we are able to see that the desk salt consists of NaCl- each sodium and chloride. The sodium rounds out the malt taste, and the chloride accentuates the fullness of the malt sweetness. We are able to do the identical factor through these salt additions to the mash and/or preboiled wort.
Including the salts is finished in very small quantities, sometimes grams. Whereas it may be transformed to different measurements (a teaspoon of calcium chloride is shut to five grams), the quantities are typically very small so a scale that weighs to grams and/or tenths of a gram could be very useful. Whereas it's best to only add a teaspoon or a half of a teaspoon of one thing to the mashing water, it's finest to have a look at a brewing spreadsheet exhibiting the additions so you may see the outcomes of including the salts. There are additionally nomographs obtainable and naturally an enterprising brewer can calculate it by hand. The quantities are normally expressed in elements per million (PPM) and the spreadsheets themselves have pointers on how a lot so as to add to keep away from overuse. The salts are sometimes added to the mash, however could be added to the boil kettle in some circumstances. Ensure to by no means add baking soda or different alkalinity to the sparging water. Within the uncommon case the place it's essential to increase the mash pH, add the baking soda to the mash.
When deciding what additions are appropriate for every batch of beer, contemplate what you need to convey out within the beer's taste. Additionally, needless to say "much less is extra" typically applies, till you already know what you want in a sure beer recipe or model. For instance, if you're making an American IPA you could need to use some gypsum (calcium sulfate), because the sulfate will assist to supply a dry end and a crisper mouthfeel to reinforce the hops bittering. Whereas some brewers will go as much as 300 ppm of sulfate in these beer kinds, you could need to begin smaller at first to keep away from perceptions of harshness. Because the simplest way so as to add sulfate to the beer is through gypsum which additionally provides calcium, that is generally executed. The opposite approach so as to add sulfate is through magnesium sulfate (epsom salt), nevertheless it's vital to maintain the magnesium degree beneath about 30 ppm to keep away from a bitter/bitter taste. Some brewers eschew the addition of epsom salts completely, feeling that the gypsum does the job with none challenge.
For a starting profile for one thing like an American pale ale or IPA, a modest addition of gypsum is could give nice outcomes. For instance, utilizing 7 gallons of RO to start the brewday for a 5 gallon batch, including 7 grams of gypsum will present 63 ppm of calcium and 148 ppm of sulfate. Trying on the record above, you may see that it's in a fascinating vary for each calcium and sulfate for a hoppy beer. Utilizing a brewing spreadsheet, you may see that utilizing this quantity of gypsum within the mash can also be seemingly to provide an optimum mash pH as effectively, relying on the grainbill, so this can be a excellent spot to begin. After the brew is completed and style testing, a call could be made for subsequent time. You possibly can even add a contact of gypsum to the glass, to see should you desire the beer with extra sulfate for subsequent time. Beginning with lower than the utmost beneficial typically provides satisfaction to the brewer.
For beers which have a beautiful malt taste, calcium chloride is a typical addition. Trying on the record once more, you may see that calcium chloride will present calcium to the mash in addition to the chloride. Since chloride enhances the fullness or "roundness" of malt taste, and offers a notion of sweetness to the malt, including it to a beer recipe can convey the flavour to the subsequent degree. If you happen to're making an Octoberfest or brown ale, including some calcium chloride can be an amazing transfer. Including Three grams to a 5 gallon batch of brown ale possibly be simply the ticket to creating an excellent beer nice.
For brewing lagers, particularly European model lagers, much less sulfate is fascinating and sometimes it's fully disregarded. It wouldn't be uncommon to brew a German pilsner with none additions to RO water in any respect, so needless to say including brewing salts is just not vital and is a matter of the model of the beer in addition to the brewer's style.
There are a few cautions when including brewing salts to your water changes. Many brewers will consult with the sulfate:chloride ratio as a result of that's been mentioned in older brewing texts. The idea is that preserving a ratio of sulfate to chloride will make a beer extra "hoppy" or extra "malty"- however this isn't so. When discussing a ratio, keep in mind that 80 ppm of sulfate and 40 ppm of chloride is a 2:1 ratio, and based on a brewing water spreadsheet obtainable on-line (EZ Water) the textual content says "could improve bitterness". That's great- however 800 ppm sulfate and 400 ppm of chloride is ALSO a 2:1 ratio- and it additionally says "could improve bitterness". Frequent sense dictates that one beer will probably be far totally different than the opposite, whereas the ratio is precisely the identical. The primary must be simply high-quality, though not with a very dry end, however the second will probably be "minerally" and undrinkable. When you're cooking and add an excessive amount of salt to your spaghetti sauce ,you can't erase that by including extra pepper. When brewing, you can also't "erase" an excessive amount of gypsum by including extra calcium chloride. As an alternative of focusing on a sulfate:chloride ratio, take a look at the precise numbers in ppm and the beneficial limits of every ion, and make the choice primarily based on that.
One other pitfall is to be so consumed with the numbers of the ions is to overlook that the mash pH is crucial side of delving into water chemistry. An acceptable mash pH will present essentially the most profit to your beer, whereas the flavour ions are the "seasonings" in your beer. Beginning with a superb recipe and utilizing good water and focusing on an optimum mash pH will make an excellent beer. Tweaking the recipe by including some gypsum and calcium chloride (as examples) could take that superb beer to very, superb and even glorious beer. To match brewing to cooking once more, including the right quantity of salt and pepper to your spaghetti sauce could make your superb sauce one thing memorable, and including a little bit of rosemary could make it distinctive. So it goes with brewing- beginning with an amazing base and including your brewing salts in the best quantities can take it to the subsequent degree. Including an excessive amount of is extra of a hazard than too little, so concentrate on that in your additions as you begin adjusting your water.

Q: Why do 2 same numbers written in slightly form produce 2 different outcomes in Java I successfully managed to solve a math problem using Java code. However, in doing so, I've also stumbled upon something weird.
In one of my calculations, I had to add 4 numbers: 13, 132, 320, and 201. I declared an int variable sum, and initialized it to 13 + 132 + 320 + 201.
int sum = 13 + 132 + 320 + 201;

When I printed the variable sum out, it returned a value of 666. Which makes sense, since adding those numbers on a calculator returns that value. However, I decided to then set the variable sum equal to something a little different. I decided to set sum equal to 013 + 132 + 320 + 201.
sum = 013 + 132 + 320 + 201;

However, when I printed this value out, I got 664. I decided to add one more zero to the left of 013.
sum = 0013 + 132 + 320 + 201;

And sum returned the same value, 664.
So basically, whenever I add the numbers just like that without any unnecessary zeroes, sum returns the correct value. But when I add those unecessary zeroes, sum returns a slightly different answer. Is there a reason as to why putting zeroes before a number causes a slightly different result?

A: In math only base is not decimal .So to define numbers in base 16(Hexa-decimal),8(Octal),2(Binary) and 10(Decimal) there must be a way.So in java you can define those like below.
Adding the prefix of 0b or 0B you can define binary numbers (base 2)
byte b1 = 0b101;
Adding the prefix of 0 you can define octal numbers(base 8)
int octal = 013;
Adding the prefix of 0x you can define hexa decimal numbers(base 16)
int hexaDecimal =0x13;
You can define decimal numbers without using any prefix
int decimal = 13;

A: Your question is basically this:
// Java interprets this as octal number
int octal = 013;
// Java interprets this as hexadecimal number
int hexa = 0x13
// Java interprets this as decimal number
int decimal = 13


Since meeting Chaia about 10 years ago, I knew something was different about her, something special. She taught me things 10 years ago that I still remember and use to this day; not because it came out of her own wisdom, but because she opened herself up to the Holy Spirit to reveal things to me. After moving back to Indianapolis to work with Chaia again about 4 years ago, I felt safe and loved and I knew I could begin my healing journey again at a deeper level. Chaia has provided a safe place for me to be honest and is honest with me in return. Unlike therapists or counselors, Chaia opens her home as this safe haven where I know I am loved unconditionally. I always feel relief as I step in her front door. Also, unlike most of the therapists and counselors I've worked with over the years, Chaia allows the Holy Spirit to lead our time together and asks God what we should be working on. This leads to more focus and lasting healing. Chaia is attentive and loving. Chaia has led me further in my healing journey and deepened my relationship with Jesus by gently challenging me and my false beliefs. I honestly did not believe that I would live to be in my late 20's, but here I am today at almost 30, more healed and together than I ever have been in my entire life. I owe a big part of this to Chaia and her love and counsel.
Two years ago, I was referred to Aliyah by my Pastors to help me overcome eating disorders, which I have battled for over 20 years. Chaia, the founder of Aliyah, came into my life at just the right time and has been a God-send!
It is true that we can only give from what we have received from God ourselves, whether we realize it was from Him or not. Chaia serves from an honest and humble heart where God has redeemed and changed her life. There, she has given hope to me when I felt utterly hopeless and continues to work with me to develop strategies to overcome.
Chaia, and my work with her at Aliyah, is a partnership. She has been faithful to me, as has God, to build a game plan of success. Aliyah is clearly not a just a job for her, but a calling, in that she breathes hope to the hopeless and life where there is death. God has joined her work because He has done this for her and she has now given her life back to Him. It is beautiful and I am honored to have the opportunity to grow up and learn from her (and Him).
Today, I have more fortitude, desire and willingness to do what's necessary to change than ever before. I believe it is possible and in a sense have set my face like flint. Much of this change, I believe, is because of my work with Aliyah, and how God has met us together as I seek to love and obey Him.
If you or anyone you know and love is battling eating disorders, addictions, trauma, or other mental issues, I would highly recommend Aliyah. Chaia has been a God-send in my life and works diligently to love God and others. With her overcoming, she brings wisdom, strategies and hope for those who want help finding the way out. We are not meant to do this alone.
Thank you Chaia and Aliyah!
God led me to Chaia through a friend over 6 years ago. Having struggled with an eating disorder for half my life, I had been in and out of treatment centers and had seen more therapists, specialist, dietitians, etc. than I can count. I remember seeking out an appointment with Chaia because I kept on having clinicians "give up" on me and refuse to see me anymore, definitely not a good feeling. I felt like God was telling me something would be different with Chaia, and boy was He right! From day one, Chaia accepted me and loved on me, something my heart had longed for so long. She NEVER gave up on me. Even when my own family, and quite frankly,myself had given up… Chaia never did. She refused to give up on me. She saw God's potential for my life. Through many sessions filled with prayer, encouragement, and hard truth (that I needed), Chaia has helped me radically change my life and find the true self that God created me to be.
When I first met Chaia, I was homeless, living in my car, depressed, alone, hurt, and deep into my eating disorder. Now, I am happy to say that I am married to the man of my dreams, closer to God than I've ever been, finishing up grad school to be a therapist (to help others!), and most importantly living IN RECOVERY (no I'm not joking)!!!
I can't even count how many sessions I have spent on Chaia's red couch crying, feeling like there was "no way I could ever possibly recover" and Chaia was my rock throughout it all. Never giving up on me and always encouraging me through her amazing story of recovery and by showing me God's love and pointing me back to God.
I would recommend ANYONE who is willing to take the courageous step towards fighting for freedom and ultimately your life, to go see Chaia and her lovable pooch Mr. Finn! I couldn't be anymore grateful that I did, I firmly believe she is the reason I am still alive today.

Consumers' Association of Penang (CAP) urges the Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-Operatives and Consumerism to conduct checks and take action against wet market traders using inaccurate mechanical weighing scales (with dial indicators on both sides of the machine) to short-weigh consumers.
Our recent survey at all the wet markets in Penang showed that some of the weighing scales have their calibration stickers displayed away from the consumers. In fact the calibration should be seen by consumers so that they are assured of the accuracy of the weighing scale and if it is fit for use in business.
Consumers had little protection in the world marketplace before the 1950s. On March 15, 1962, US President John F. Kennedy put forth the "Consumer Bill of Rights" to help consumers understand their rights and responsibilities. In 1985, eight basic consumer rights were adopted by the United Nations' Assembly, which resulted in consumers having stronger consumer protection policies worldwide. March 15 is now declared as World Consumer Rights Day!
When the consumer is more careful about his spending habits, he saves himself a lot of money as well as time and aggravation. It could also mean not having to go back to the shop, or seeking out the Small Claims Courts or Tribunals to obtain redress.
What are you entitled to in a complaint?
Before you complain, decide first what you are entitled to. Ask yourself whether you just want your money back, a replacement, a repair or even compensation?


Several stories recently have spread misinformation about how Google licenses Android and its services. Here's the real story on how Android licensing works with open source and Linux.
You would think that Android relationship with Linux and open source would be fairly well understood by now. However, recent articles in the tech and general press have created confusion where none ought to exist. Let me see if I can un-muddy the waters.
Let's take a look inside Android, open source and licensing.
The Guardian published a story, which they have since taken down, spreading FUD about Google, Android, Linux, open source, and licensing. The paper later published another article trying to get the Android facts right, but, well, they still don't.
Not long afterwards, Ben Edelman, Harvard Business School professor and consultant to "various companies that compete with Google," analyzed the Google's Mobile Application Distribution Agreement (MADA PDF Link) that was revealed in the 2011 Oracle v. Google lawsuit. When all the MADA provisions are taken together, Edelman argues, they tie Google's apps into a near seamless whole. These provisions detail how Google applications are presented on a licensed device to help Google expand into new markets .
To Edelman, this means that Google suppresses competition and harms consumers.
Really? It sounds like ordinary business practices to me.
For example, let's look at Microsoft and Red Hat. The former is a leading proprietary company, the latter is the top Linux vendor. If I buy a computer or device running Windows or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), I expect it to come with Microsoft or Red Hat-specific services respectively, such as Windows Azure and RHEL OpenStack, for their native cloud services. (Not to mention Minesweeper in Windows' case) This isn't cutthroat competition; it's bundling services and tools the market wants and expects.
It irritates me to see these mistakes about how Android is made, sold, and licensed. So it's high time to spell out the facts. Let's go over the list of Android myths, shall we?
Myth #1. Google Services define Android.
Google Services are very handy. Maps, Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, and Search are all great, but you don't have to use them. Android is a fine mobile operating system in its own right, with its built-in home screen launcher; contacts directory; dialer and phone app; and camera and gallery. You can, if you want to, add your own services to it.
Indeed, that's exactly what has happened in China. There, 270-million Android users use Android, but, thanks in part to China and Google's continuing feud , 70 percent of them don't use Google services.
Part of the confusion about services-and-platform tie-ins is that we're moving from a device-centric computing world to a cloud and services-based one. When people look at a device, they still see it as a standalone thing. That's often no longer the case. Instead, no matter who made it or what runs on it, the hardware is simply the endpoint for a variety of cloud services. That doesn't change the nature of the operating system, but it does change the user experience.
Each device has its preferred service provider: Microsoft for Windows; Apple for iOS; Google for Android; and so on. At the same time, each is usually open to other services, thanks to HTML5 , and other development tools that trump native apps and services.
Myth #2. Android is not open source.
You can take Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code today and make your own version of Android today. If you want to, you can even take a page from CyanogenMod's book and make an Android that works with multiple devices instead of being tied to one vendor's smartphones and tablets.
Contrary to Edelman's claims, you can also build commercially viable operating systems off Android without Google Mobile Service (GMS) apps. Or, at least, you can try to. That's exactly what Mozilla is doing with Firefox OS. And, Canonical's Ubuntu Touch started out using CyanogenMod Android for its foundation. Indeed, it still uses Android during its initial boot up.
Granted, when Google is working on its latest version of Android, it has not always released beta code as early as some would like. Historically, the big hardware manufacturers, such as Samsung, HTC, and ASUS, get an early private look at Android source code. The goal is to enable these top Google hardware partners to create devices that work well with the newest version of Android as soon as it's released.
At times this has caused tension between Google and its smaller partners. This came to a head in 2011 before the release of Android 3.0, Honeycomb. This delay between the release of early Honeycomb, not ready for prime time binaries, and its corresponding source code to the broader community led to bitterness between smaller OEMs and developers and Google. Since then, Google has closed the time gap between early access to major players and general access to all Android OEMs and developers.
You can argue all you like about how open source Android is, or isn't. It's certainly not "free software" by Richard M. Stallman's definition, but it's open enough for all practical purposes.
Myth #3. Google charges licensing fees for Google Mobile Services.
No, they don't. A Google representative said, "Such stories are inaccurate. Google does not charge licensing fees for Google Mobile Services (GMS). We will not be commenting further."
Other sources, from major Android device manufacturers, agreed. One top Android smartphone and tablet vendor told me, "The Guardian story's just wrong."
That's not to say there isn't a fee to create "official" Android devices with GMS. Sources both at Google and Android OEMs confirm that Google charges no fee per se, Google does require devices to be certified; and the factories that do this certification do require a fee.
This certification fee varies from vendor to vendor, device to device, and from one version of Android to another. At the end of the accounting day, it appears to average about 75 cents to a dollar per shipped device. No one, however, would confirm this amount on the record. There is, however, no licensing fee per se.
Myth #4. Android isn't Linux.
Come on, folks! It's always been Linux.
I think this is the source of the recurring misconception: In 2010, a Google engineer put his foot in his mouth and said that Android isn't Linux. There were some technical differences which kept Android out of the main Linux tree for a while, but they were resolved.
Even at the height of the conflict, Android was still based on Linux. By March 2012, Android and Linux were re-merged into a single operating system. I can't imagine that the two will ever fork again, not in any way, shape, or form.
What it all means in sum is that Android is indeed an open-source operating system and that anyone—yes, even you — can use it as the basis for their own devices, applications, and services. As such, it's more open than Apple or Microsoft's mobile operating systems, and it's only significant open-source competitors, are — oh the irony — were actually built on AOSP.
How open is Google's Android?

Objectives To compare performance of the ResistancePlus kit (SpeeDx, Australia) with in-house methods for the detection of Mycoplasma genitalium-specific DNA and mutations associated with resistance to macrolide antimicrobials, directly from clinical specimens.
Methods Assay specificity and sensitivity was analysed using DNA from 46 non-M. genitalium organisms and standard curve analysis, respectively. A panel of archived DNA extracted from 97 M. genitalium-positive clinical specimens, for which the macrolide susceptibility genotype had been previously determined, were tested on the assay and results compared.
Results Final analytical specificity was 100%. Sensitivity was detected to at least 140 genome copies/µL. The assay detected M. genitalium in 92/97 (94.9%, 95% CI 88.4% to 98.3%) previously positive specimens. The genetic macrolide susceptibility assigned was concordant with previous results in 85/92 (92.4%, 95% CI 85.0% to 96.9%) specimens or 85/97 (87.6%, 95% CI: 79.4% to 93.4%) when the false-negative specimens were included. On seven (7/92, 7.6%) occasions, resistant specimens were called susceptible. Further testing resolved discrepancies for all but five (5.2%) specimens.
Conclusions The ResistancePlus assay generally performed well in comparison to methods currently employed at the reference laboratory. It detected a range of different mutations; however, a small number of specimens that were genotyped as macrolide resistant by Sanger sequencing were either not detected by the assay or were genotyped as susceptible. This could impact on treatment outcomes if assay results were used for patient management.
Contributors RP carried out the laboratory work and prepared the first draft of the manuscript for this evaluation. MJC, HF and NW contributed to the analysis of results and subsequent drafts of the manuscript.
Funding This evaluation was funded and commissioned by SpeeDx. Funding was provided by SpeeDx for RP to attend and present this work at ECCMID 2017.

Cushman & Wakefield were instructed by Metro Asset Management to dispose of their freehold interest in the former Makro Cash & Carry store on Gallagher Business Park, Silverstone Drive in Coventry.
The property extended to 105,000 sq ft on a 7 acre site and benefited from a specification including a clear working height of 6.5m, ground and first floor office accommodation, 6 dock and 1 level access loading doors, 40m deep yard and 409 parking spaces.
The property was vacated in May 2009 by Makro after which Cushman & Wakefield immediately commenced an active marketing campaign which included mailing exercises, press and online advertising. Cushman & Wakefield targeted local occupiers to the site as well as national warehouse and distribution occupiers that the property may suit. A variety of interest over the course of the marketing period was shown from various purchasers including car dealers and industrial occupiers.
Through a competitive bidding process a bulky goods furniture retailer (Coles of Bilston) were selected as the preferred bidder. A complex and lengthy legal process then commenced to change the planning consent from its current warehousing use to A1 Bulky Goods and also a detailed negotiation to remove a restrictive covenant from the title was also undertaken. Following grant of planning consent for change of use the deal was completed in May 2012.

Q: Is there a ES6 shortcut way to compare array of elements and object key and remove the non-matching elements? I am trying to find a shortcut or single line of code that can active following:
I have a array selectedFields consisting of elements:
selectedFields = [ "time", "age", "city" ]

I have a object valueProvided consisting of values:
valueProvided = { "time": "2022-10-01", "visa": "onArrival", "age": 30, "city": "paris", "hotel": "Holiday" }

I would like to compare the 2 fields and remove any elements from valueProvided object that are not available in the array. Meaning in this case the elements visa and hotel are not present within selectedFields so I would like to remove it from valueProvided so my final result would look something like this:
result = { "time": "2022-10-01",  "age": 30, "city": "paris" }

I am aware that I can loop over the elements in an array and remove the non-matching key from the object to achieve this, but I am trying to find if there is any shortcut or ES6 way of doing it in a single line or efficiently.
I found a couple of answers but in all cases, they are trying to compare the object with another object or array with another array but not the cross approach to compare an array with the object or vice versa.

A: You can use Object.entries to get the entries from valueProvided, filter them on whether the key is in selectedFields, and then use Object.fromEntries to build the result object:

const selectedFields = ["time", "age", "city"]

const valueProvided = {
  "time": "2022-10-01",
  "visa": "onArrival",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "paris",
  "hotel": "Holiday"
}

const result = Object.fromEntries(
  Object.entries(valueProvided).filter(([k, v]) => selectedFields.includes(k))
)

console.log(result)

As pointed out by @NickParsons in the comments, you can further optimise this (as long as all the keys in selectedFields exist in valueProvided) by creating an object from mapping the keys in selectedFields to the key, value pair from valueProvided:

const selectedFields = ["time", "age", "city"]

const valueProvided = {
  "time": "2022-10-01",
  "visa": "onArrival",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "paris",
  "hotel": "Holiday"
}

const result = Object.fromEntries(
  selectedFields.map(k => [k, valueProvided[k]])
)

console.log(result)

If valueProvided was an array, you'd need to iterate that using map:

const selectedFields = ["time", "age", "city"]

const valueProvided = [{
    "time": "2022-10-01",
    "visa": "onArrival",
    "age": 30,
    "city": "paris",
    "hotel": "Holiday"
  },
  {
    "time": "2022-11-12",
    "visa": "preBooked",
    "age": 45,
    "city": "london",
    "hotel": "Business"
  }
]

const result = valueProvided.map(v => Object.fromEntries(
  Object.entries(v).filter(([k, v]) => selectedFields.includes(k))
  // or
  // selectedFields.map(k => [k, v[k]])
))

console.log(result)

A: This is a way to achieve it, I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a shortcut. Let me know:

selectedFields = [ "time", "age", "city" ]
valueProvided = { "time": "2022-10-01", "visa": "onArrival", "age": 30, "city": "paris", "hotel": "Holiday" }

for (let missing of selectedFields.filter(item => (valueProvided[item] !== undefined))) {
    delete valueProvided[missing];
}

console.log(valueProvided);

Yes, there is a loop involved in order to remove the elements, but the search for missing elements is being done via calling filter().

A: This should work, although it's defenitely not the shortest answer:
selectedFields = [ "time", "age", "city" ];
valueProvided = { "time": "2022-10-01", "visa": "onArrival", "age": 30, "city": "paris", "hotel": "Holiday" }

console.log(valueProvided)

for (const key of Object.keys(valueProvided)) {
    if(! selectedFields.includes(key)){
      delete valueProvided[key]
    }
}
console.log(valueProvided)

A: Another "concealed loop" approach using Array.reduce:

valueProvided = {
  "time": "2022-10-01",
  "visa": "onArrival",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "paris",
  "hotel": "Holiday"
};

selectedFields = ["time", "age", "city"];

function pickProps(fromObject, propNames) {
  return propNames.reduce((acc, propName) => {
    acc[propName] = fromObject[propName];
    return acc
  }, {})
}

console.log(pickProps(valueProvided, selectedFields));

This does not mutate the source object. But like others in case property values are not of primitive types, it would reference them.
Direct mutating / re-assigment without helper function would be:

var valueProvided = {
  "time": "2022-10-01",
  "visa": "onArrival",
  "age": 30,
  "city": "paris",
  "hotel": "Holiday"
};

valueProvided = ["time", "age", "city"].reduce((acc, propName) => {
  acc[propName] = valueProvided[propName];
  return acc
}, {});

console.log(valueProvided);

"Length golfing" comparison with the fromEntries approach:
result = selectedFields.reduce((a,k)=>(a[k]=valueProvided[k],a),{})
result = Object.fromEntries(selectedFields.map(k=>[k,valueProvided[k]]))

It also happens to be a bit faster for this use-case (bench), most probably because it does not create intermediate entries array "map" but starts from "empty" result object and adds properties directly to it during reduce instead.

Movie Stills - View all?
Review by Chad
I was in the mood for some classic horror today, and what better place to look when craving that sort of thing than Amicus Productions? I dug around a bit and came up with Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, a horror anthology flick that was completely new to me and featured a handful of big names. So, hoping to uncover a lost gem that would proceed to blow me away, I pushed play and kicked back for ninety minutes of entertainment. Unfortunately, while the movie was far from horrible, that's not exactly what happened.
It begins with the obligatory wrap-around story, which finds five men boarding a train for destinations unknown. At the last minute, a creepy old man (Peter Cushing) boards with them, and as we soon discover, he has a deck of tarot cards with him. He offers to take a look at everyone's future, and this is where the stories come from: each story is one man's potential future, and his "story" offers him a chance to change the course of his life.
Story number one finds a young man heading out to a remote island to work on the house of a rich old widow, and there, he discovers that things are a little... off. You see, he discovers a two-hundred-year-old ornate coffin in the cellar, and this leads to the caretaker telling him a little story about the house: the original owner lost the rights and swore to return to reclaim what was his. Oh, and this coffin in the cellar is more than likely his. If you think that the title of this segment spoils the ending, you're partially right, but there is a nice twist to it.
I enjoyed this story, but only to an extent. You see, there is a nice ending that wraps things up in a satisfying fashion, the set is appropriately creepy, and the acting is spotless all around... but the overall story is just sort of bland. It's hard to ever get invested in this story until the ending rolls around, and even then, one must stifle a laugh when they see the "werewolf" (a German shepherd). I know that this is an older movie and I didn't expect modern-equivalent effects, but that was just silly. Combined with a weak story and a slightly above average twist, I have to go with a 5/10 for this one.
Creeping Vine
Next up is the tale of a small family who go on vacation, only to return to their home and find a strange vine growing beside the door. The husband attempts to cut it down, but strangely enough, the vine seems to snatch the shears out of his hands and toss it aside. He goes to a scientist, who discovers that this vine may be the next step in plant evolution: something like the Venus fly trap, only, much bigger and much smarter.
Now, this story was just downright odd, but I have to admit that I liked it. It was original, I will certainly give it that, and even though it was a bit goofy, I can't say that it ever lost my attention. Once again, the acting was flawless (a recurring theme with this film), and the effects used to bring the plant to "life" - while not a marvel by any stretch - were pretty good. An enjoyable tale. 7/10.
Here we find an up-and-coming jazz band heading to the West Indies to perform a show, and there, the leading man comes across a voodoo ritual complete with dancing women and fast-paced music. He thinks that the music would be a hit back home with a little updating, and while he is writing down the notes, one of the voodoo practitioners discovers him. He is warned that this music is only for their cult, and that their God is a vengeful God and will strike him down if he performs it publicly. Obviously, our arrogant leading man ignores him, and bad things happen.
This story had all of the potential in the world. From the minute that voodoo man gives the lead that ominous warning, you just know that some bad shit is going to go down, and waiting to see what will happen to him is the strength of the story. It is original, it has tons of potential, and there is a great build-up to the inevitable climax. Then... we see what happens, and we feel a huge wave of disappointment come over us. Of all the things that could have happened, this ending had to be one of the weakest choices. I won't spoil it, but the ending dragged this down to a low 4/10.
Disembodied Hand
Franklyn Marsh's (Christopher Lee) tale is up next, and as we soon discover, Mr. Marsh is a brutal art critic who has no qualms about stepping on people's feelings. He is especially nasty towards one artist (Michael Gough) in particular, and this leads to that artist playing a joke on him and humiliating him in front of his peers. Marsh, a man who is very unwilling to be the laughing stock of the art world, pays the artist back by running him down with his car, causing the artist to lose his right arm. An artist without a right hand is no longer an artist, and thus, the man turns to suicide. Even though he is now dead, his disembodied hand is still very much alive and seeking vengeance.
Although the story found here is far from original, I have to say that this story was one of the best of the bunch. Christopher Lee plays the asshole character to perfection, while Michael Gough is just as good as the dejected artist. The story itself has been done before, true enough, but it works as well here as it has anywhere else, and the effects used to bring this disembodied hand to life were great. You'll see the ironic twist coming a mile away, but it is still a satisfying ending to a great tale. 8/10.
The final story takes a look at the life of Dr. Bob Carroll (Donald Sutherland) and his new wife Nicolle (Jennifer Jayne), two young lovers who have moved to America to begin their lives together. However, strange things start to happen in their small little town: most noticeably, a young boy is brought in to the doctor's office with a loss of blood and two small fang marks on his neck. Bob starts to suspect that his new wife may in fact be a vampire, and the other doctor in town believes that he may be right.
I wouldn't say that they saved the best for last, but I do have to admit that I loved this one. It is a perfect old-school vampire tale, complete with bat-transformations and other such stereotypes, and the twist ending is just downright brilliant. Donald Sutherland is exceptionally good in his role, and the entire affair just gets a huge thumbs up from me. 8/10.
The wrap-around story then reaches its conclusion, and yes, this concept has been done before, but it works out well here for one reason: the set that it takes place in is creepy as all hell, and a certain costume comes into play that just looks amazing. Once again, thumbs up.
Overall, Dr. Terror's House of Horrors is an enjoyable horror anthology flick, especially if you're in the mood for some old-school horror, but it is nothing to go out of your way to find. There is plenty of great acting on display and a couple of great stories, but there is also an abundance of weak or simply average stories that drags the entire thing down. Rounding out the scores, we come up with a 6.4/10, and I'm going to go ahead and round that up to an even 7/10 due to the wrap-around story.

Why Are They Called 'Homofascists'? Here's Why…
fuzzysdad01	Uncategorized	First Amendment: R.I.P., Gaystapo, Gestapo, Himmler, Homofascists, Mozilla, sexual anarchist "LGBT, Town Hall	Leave a comment
This is from Town Hall
The Homofascists are making Himmler and his Gestapo very proud.
In fact these Homofascists' are able to accomplish things the Gestapo only dreamed of doing.
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Many Christians have been warning for years that the radical homosexual activist lobby is made up of Christian-hating fascists who are in rebellion against both God and nature, who are hell-bent on criminalizing Christianity and pushing to the fringes anyone who publicly acknowledges natural human sexuality and the age-old, immutable institution of legitimate marriage as created by God.
Sadly, many people, even many Christians, think that I and others are using hyperbole when we refer to this sexual anarchist "LGBT" movement as "homofascist" or the "Gaystapo." I hope you'll think again. It's time to wake up and smell the impending anti-Christian persecution. It's fully at hand.
BarbWire contributor Laurie Higgins, commenting on the Washington Examinerstory below, summed it up well in an email tonight:
CEO and co-founder of Mozilla (and inventor of JavaScript) Brendan Eich is forced to resign because of his $1,000 donation to Prop 8 six years ago. So, I guess it's semi-official: American citizens who believe marriage is inherently sexually complementary cannot work in America–not even in their own companies. First Amendment: R.I.P.
Reports theWashington Examiner:
Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich resigned under pressure after gay rights activists demanded that he step down or recant his support of traditional marriage laws.
Eich donated $1,000 to support Proposition 8, the California ballot initiative that amended the state's constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman.
"I don't want to talk about my personal beliefs because I kept them out of Mozilla all these 15 years we've been going," Eich toldThe Guardian."I don't believe they're relevant."
That wasn't an option. "CEO Brendan Eich should make an unequivocal statement of support for marriage equality," a Credoaction petition signed by almost 75,000 people said, per The Inquirer. "If he cannot, he should resign. And if he will not, the board should fire him immediately."
When asked if his beliefs about marriage should constitute a firing offense the way racism or sexism does, Eich argued that these religious beliefs — and beliefs popular as of 2008 — should not be used as a basis for dismissal.
"I don't believe that's true, on the basis of what's permissible to support or vote on in 2008," he told CNET. "It's still permissible. Beliefs that are protected, that include political and religious speech, are generally not something that can be held against even a CEO. I understand there are people who disagree with me on this one."
Oh, oh, Mr. Eich, how wrong you are. That's the America we used to live in. That's the America of our founding. Welcome to "Amerika." Homofascism is the order of the day and Christian "intolerance" simply will not be tolerated. That was before we became the godless, wicked nation we are today. A once-great nation that now takes "pride" in calling "evil good and good evil."
And here's the kicker: Mr. Eich's position on so-called "gay marriage" in 2008 is identical to none other than one Barack Hussein Obama's. While running for president that year he said, "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage."
Off with his head! Where are the calls for Obama's resignation? Well, there are none because he got with the homofascist program. In a clear effort to raise funds for re-election, he pulled a 180.
Is anyone surprised?
Continues the Examiner:
On Thursday, Mozilla announced that he had resigned. "Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn't live up to it," executive chairwoman Mitchell Baker wrote. "We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it's because we haven't stayed true to ourselves. We didn't act like you'd expect Mozilla to act. We didn't move fast enough to engage with people once the controversy started. We're sorry. We must do better."
Do you see what's happening? Did you read that? That's fear — deathly fear. Fear of a radical, hateful, intolerant, obnoxious, fascist, evil and power-crazed group of sex-obsessed anarchists who demand that we all affirmatively celebrate their deviant and self-destructive sexual sins.
Christians, buckle up. Your whole world is about to change. The Rainbowshirts are emboldened and they've broken out the long knives. "Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence" – Psalm 73:6.
They smell blood in the water. I've often said that these folks want those who speak Biblical truth about human sexuality and legitimate marriage either 1) dead, 2) imprisoned or, if they can have neither of these, 3) marginalized to the point where they can't even support their families.
Check No. 3 off the list. I guess they're working backwards.
Freedom is hanging on by a thread, America, and it is those who worship the sin of Sodom that are determined to finish it off once and for all.

'Women are proclaiming the Word'
The evidence from Syria
By Joseph Amar | United States
On April 8, the Vatican announced that Pope Francis had appointed a new commission to study the ordination of women to the diaconate. The first commission, established in 2016, had failed to reach a consensus.
While there is evidence of women deacons in the early Church, the commission was unable to determine if they were sacramentally ordained.
Francis established the new commission after bishops at the Synod for the Amazon asked that the matter be revisited in light of the real-life experience of the Church in their part of the world.
The decision to establish the new commission is consistent with a principle Francis first articulated in Evangelii gaudium.
There he expresses his belief that it was not "advisable for the Pope to take the place of local Bishops in the discernment of every issue which arises in their territory."
The experience of the local Church is a theme close to Francis's heart, and he has noted on several occasions that much of the evidence for women deacons comes from Syria.
Like so much else Francis says and does, there is more here than meets the eye.
Christianity entered Syria by different paths.
The path recorded in the New Testament traces the spread of the Gospel through the Greek-speaking synagogues of Syria and Asia Minor, before arriving with triumphant inevitability—"signs and wonders accompanied them"—in Rome. Christianity was on its way to becoming gentile and European.
Meanwhile, the faith was moving along another path that took it due east of Jerusalem, through a chain of Aramaic-speaking synagogues that linked diaspora Jewish communities in Mesopotamia to their ancestral homeland in Palestine.
Over time, the Christianity that made its way along this path would view its progress as a homecoming, a return to Ur of the Chaldees where God first called Abraham.
Aramaic-speaking Christians were reversing Abraham's steps, bringing news of fulfillment to the land where it all began. Here, Christianity remained Semitic and Asian.
Long after Christianity in the West had severed most of its ties to Judaism, Mesopotamian Christians continued to read the Gospel, conduct worship, and live their faith in Aramaic.
Their brightest light was Ephrem, whom later tradition identified as "the Syrian."
Ephrem chronicled the life of his church in a palimpsest of biblical names and events he called madrashê, the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew midrash. Ephrem taught his madrashê to consecrated women, "Daughters of the Covenant," who chanted them as part of the church's worship. Pious images of Ephrem often depict him leading groups of women in song.
But like so many devotionally inspired portrayals, this one reduces a complex figure who challenged boundaries—and encouraged women to do the same—to a meek, compliant choirmaster. But the tradition Ephrem represented remembered him in a very different way.
Ephrem spoke for a community not long departed from the synagogue. For them, as for the first Jewish followers of Jesus, the Gospel was Good News specifically because it offered a way of entering into a covenant relationship with God that bypassed burdensome layers of rabbinic legislation.
For women, who bore the brunt of that legislation, the Gospel was especially Good News. The triumph of Christianity was, overwhelmingly, a triumph for women.
In the kingdom, men and women are equal
Soon after Ephrem's death, a protégé of his, Jacob of Sarug, wrote a tribute celebrating Ephrem's work among the Daughters of the Covenant. The tribute begins simply enough.
Addressing Ephrem, Jacob observes: "Our sisters were encouraged by you to give praise." But in the very next line, Jacob points out that, before Ephrem encouraged the Daughters, "women had not been allowed to speak in church."
Jacob never identifies the source of the prohibition; he didn't have to. Scripture-savvy Syrians knew he was referring to St. Paul or, as recent scholarship suggests, someone writing in Paul's name, who asserted male privilege in such matters:
According to the rule observed in all the assemblies of believers, women should keep silent in such gatherings. They may not speak. Rather, as the law states, submissiveness is indicated for them. If they want to learn something, they should ask their husbands at home. It is a disgrace when a woman speaks in the assembly. (1 Corinthians 14:33–35).
By the middle of the third century, a manual of Church order known as the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (Didascalia Apostolorum) expanded the ruling, establishing it as law. Speaking in the voice of the apostles, the Didascalia argued that if Jesus had intended women to teach, he would have commissioned them to do so along with the apostles:
[I]t is neither appropriate nor necessary that women should be teachers, especially concerning the Name of Christ and the redemption of His passion.
Indeed, you have not been appointed to this, women—especially widows—that you should teach, but rather, that you should pray and entreat the Lord God. For He, the Lord God, Jesus Christ our Teacher, sent us, the Twelve, to instruct the [Jewish] people and the [gentile] nations.
For there were with us women disciples, Mary Magdalene, Mary the daughter of James, and the other Mary, but He did not send them to instruct the people with us. Indeed, if it were appropriate that women should teach, our Teacher himself would have commanded these women to give instruction with us.
It is against this backdrop that Jacob delivers what are among the most explosive words written by a Christian in any place or time:
Look! An entirely new sight—women are proclaiming the word.
What is more, they are called teachers in our gatherings.
[Ephrem's] teaching is the mark of an entirely new age;
For in the kingdom, men and women are equal.
By gathering groups of women together to chant his madrashê, Ephrem challenged not only the authority of St. Paul, who produced most of the New Testament, but also subsequent Church teaching purporting to come from him.
Challenges to official teaching were hardly exceptional in the fourth century. Still, it would be hard to find a more direct provocation than the one Ephrem posed. How had he justified it? Jacob lets Ephrem speak in his own words:
Like your brothers, you were clothed in glory from the midst of the waters...
With your brothers you have shared a single forgiving Body.
And from a single cup of new Life you have been refreshed.
A single salvation is yours and theirs alike.
Baptism, Body, and Blood—the constituent elements of the new covenant—these were all the authorization Ephrem and the Daughters needed. Or were they?
Jacob follows Ephrem's words with a question of his own: "So why," he asks, "have you not yet learned to sing out in a loud voice?" If Ephrem based equality between the sexes on the new covenant in Jesus's blood, why had women not yet realized their rightful place in the Church?
Although enrollment in the covenant of Jesus eliminated impediments to the full participation of women, over time the Church found ways to reinforce the old gender hierarchy.
Between 373, when Ephrem died, and 470, when Jacob wrote his tribute, a sea change swept through the Church, one that would forever alter the landscape of Aramaic-speaking Christianity in Syria.
Western monasticism brought a way of life that was entirely foreign to the Christianity Ephrem championed, a Christianity that knew nothing of communities of celibate men who banded together to live apart from everyday society. An innovation on such a grand scale needed a precedent—or, better yet, a patron—to recommend it. The monks found the authority figure they were looking for in Ephrem.
But there was a problem. Although the life and ministry of Jesus had done away with social and religious distinctions, the monks reverted to a rigidly patriarchal model of the sexes that traced the Fall to Eve, who lured Adam to taste the apple before passing on her seductive proclivities to her female offspring.
If men who renounced sexual congress were plagued with lustful thoughts, so the logic went, the fault lay with the daughters of Eve who stirred their appetites.
Bringing Ephrem into alignment with a way of thinking so utterly contrary to his own required considerable effort. But the monks were up to the task.
They carefully pruned his writings to make them reflect the emerging monastic mindset. It was the beginning of a great purge intended to bring Ephrem into conformity with the edicts of the imperial Church.
Crafting Ephrem into a figure of obedient respectability began with the creation of a biography that, interestingly, included the legend that he had been a deacon as well as a monk.
This the monks reinforced with an archive of texts intended to recreate Ephrem in the image of the ideal monk who snarled at women who crossed his path, and turned a young girl who had the temerity to look him in the eye into a toothless hag.
It was a preposterous corruption of someone who emboldened women with the words: "Uncover your faces; sing out without shame to the One whose birth has given you the freedom to speak."
Ephrem found models of the freedom to speak throughout scripture.
Encouraging a deeper understanding of ministries
But the two examples he returned to time and again were the Syro-Phoenician woman (Matthew 15:21–28) who endured public humiliation from Jesus's apostles who tried to silence her, and the Samaritan woman Jesus spoke with at the well (John 4:4–16).
In each case, it was the apostles, Jesus's male followers, who took exception to the breaking of boundaries. Ephrem explained the Lord's encounter with both women by pointing out: "Messiah Jesus abandoned every human pretense because the truth had come."
The question of women's ordination to the diaconate, like the issue of viri probati, (ordaining married men to the priesthood in the Latin Church), has become deeply polarizing, not least because of politicking within the Vatican by curial cardinals.
Ephrem took the existence of married priests for granted. And for all his encouragement to women to claim their rightful voice, he never advocated for their ordination to the diaconate.
He did something considerably more. He based their role on one Baptism, one Body, and one Blood, not on ordination. It was a vision that did not depend on the clerical institution that was already becoming top-heavy in Ephrem's day, but on gifts freely poured out on all believers, regardless of gender.
By encouraging a deeper understanding of ministries in the early Church, Pope Francis has sought a path through the horns of a dilemma.
In Querida Amazonia he asked that the ways women already serve—including overseeing communities where there is no priest—be officially commissioned by bishops so that women's voices have a substantive impact on the life of the Church.
It is hard not to hear in this an echo of Ephrem's timeless instincts when he encouraged the women of his day: "Untie the chords of silence. Raise your voices. Speak out with the freedom that is yours by Baptism, the Body, and the Blood of the covenant."

Liberty and Government Power
Same-sex weddings, and the right not to perform them
by Jeff Jacoby
http://www.jeffjacoby.com/15542/same-sex-weddings-and-the-right-not-to-perform
ON OCTOBER 7, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Idaho's ban on same-sex marriage. On Oct. 15, county clerks in the state for the first time issued marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
Donald and Evelyn Knapp, both ordained Pentecostal ministers, operate the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Then, five days later came startling news out of the Idaho resort town of Coeur d'Alene: Two Christian ministers, owners of the Hitching Post Wedding Chapel, had reportedly been told by local officials that they were now required to perform same-sex weddings, or risk fines of up to $1,000 and as much as six months in jail if they refused. Under the city's antidiscrimination ordinance, the Hitching Post is considered "a place of public accommodation," and refusing to marry couples on the basis of sexual orientation was no longer a legal option.
So the two ministers, Donald and Evelyn Knapp, filed a lawsuit, seeking to block the city from forcing them to host same-sex ceremonies in violation of their sincere religious beliefs. "The Knapps are in fear that if they exercise their First Amendment rights they will be cited, prosecuted, and sent to jail," their attorney told reporters.
At first blush, the story seemed to confirm the grimmest forebodings of those who have warned that the gay marriage juggernaut will roll right over religious liberty concerns. Was the government really threatening to jail clergy who refused to perform same-sex weddings?
The short answer: No, it hasn't come to that — at least not yet. The Knapps weren't charged with any violation, and since they recently reincorporated the Hitching Post as an explicitly "religious corporation" under Idaho law, it seems doubtful that any prosecutor is seriously gunning for them.
But Coeur d'Alene isn't ruling out the possibility, either. Only if the Hitching Post truly operates on a not-for-profit religious basis, City Attorney Michael Gridley wrote in an Oct. 20 letter, would the Knapps be legally exempted from the antidiscrimination ordinance "like any other church or religious association." Conversely, if their wedding chapel provides services "primarily or substantially for profit and they discriminate in providing those services based on sexual orientation," they could be cited for breaking the law.
Should they be?
Religious convictions haven't sheltered florists, bakers, and other vendors who have declined to provide their services for same-sex ceremonies. The Supreme Court earlier this year let stand the penalty imposed on a New Mexico photographer who turned down a request to shoot a lesbian couple's commitment ceremony. The American Civil Liberties Union argues that wedding chapels, like bakeries and photo studios, are bound by nondiscrimination law, regardless of the owners' moral beliefs. By that argument, it makes no difference that the owner of a company is an ordained minister. An operation like the Hitching Post isn't a ministry, the ACLU would say, it's a business — and the First Amendment can tell the difference.
Compelling ministers to officiate at weddings when it would violate their principles to do so is "just something we don't do in a liberal society," declares Andrew Sullivan, an influential advocate of same-sex marriage.
Yet there is considerably more to the First Amendment than the unique protection it extends to churches. The freedom of expression it enshrines secures the right to speak no less than the right not to speak. Time and again the Supreme Court has confirmed that government may not force Americans to utter words they disbelieve or deny.
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation," Justice Robert Jackson wrote in a landmark 1943 decision that struck down a law compelling students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, "it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."
Whatever one's views on same-sex marriage — or on nondiscrimination statutes generally — it is unfathomable that ministers could be forced by law to pronounce the words of a marriage ceremony against their will. That they are being paid to perform the ceremony doesn't diminish the significance of the words they are saying, or erode their constitutional liberty to choose not to say them.
Supporters of same-sex unions have nothing to gain by forcing anyone, least of all clergy members, to officiate at weddings when it would violate their principles to do so. That is "just something we don't do in a liberal society," insists Andrew Sullivan, a stalwart advocate for gay marriage. Concerns about what "marriage equality" is doing to religious tolerance and dissent run deep; surely the best way to allay those concerns is with respect and goodwill. As same-sex wedlock comes to Idaho, it is in everyone's interest that freedom of speech and conscience not be driven out.

Home of the famous quiche and wines too!
Côtes-de-Meuse (AOVDQS) – in the Meuse Valley, less than a dozen growers farm 35 ha producing 1500 hectolitres.
Côtes-de-Toul (AOC) – in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department/region (number 54) in the area around the town of Toul, near Nancy: 87 ha, 800,000 bottles of red (Pinot Noir), white (Auxerrois), sparkling and 'gris' (literally grey, a lightly coloured rosé).
Moselle (AOVDQS) - the Moselle's vineyards (dep. 57 – capital Metz), in the Seille valley on the vales of Metz and Sierck, come to 48 hectares farmed by 23 growers making 2200 hectolitres.
The glory days of Lorraine's vineyards, expanded by the Dukes of Lorraine and Bishops of Toul, came to an end at the beginning of the 20th Century with the arrival of phylloxera, the First World War, industrialization, competition from the south of France and dramatic rural migration.
With 30,000 ha in 1890, its vineyards were larger than Alsace's.
A slight renaissance has been encouraged since 1980 (Côtes-de-toul got AOC status in 1998).
Partly continental climate with hot summers and spring frosts. Slopes facing north-south capturing the morning sun. Alluvial-clay and lightly chalky soils.
Actually pale rosés, made from speedy pressing of the grapes with very limited contact between skins and juice hence its light colour.
Varieties: up to 20% Pinot Noir and Auxerrois plus up to 80% Gamay.

13 Outtakes from Our Winter Cover Shoot With BTS
Because we know you, like us, could never get enough of RM, SUGA, j-hope, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, and V.
By Esquire Editors
Hong Jang Hyun
While making our Winter 2020/21 cover with BTS, photographer Hong Jang Hyun shot a ton of photos—a ton. More than we had space for in the magazine and in the cover story on Esquire.com. And so because we know you, like us, could never get enough of RM, SUGA, j-hope, Jin, Jimin, Jung Kook, and V, here are 13 photos of BTS you didn't see in the issue.
"There is something about complete world domination that can really cement a friendship," writes Dave Holmes. "What jumps out at me as I connect with the members of BTS is their level of comfort with one another."
Though the new rules of COVID-19 mean they can't come here and promote Be, its first single might not have happened in the first place but for the pandemic. " 'Dynamite' wouldn't be here if there was no COVID-19," says RM. "For this song, we wanted to go easy and simple and positive. Not some, like, deep vibes or shadows. We just wanted to go easy."
Since the start of their careers, BTS have shown a certain confidence in their aesthetic, their performances, and their music videos. It's right there in the name: BTS stands for "Bangtan Sonyeondan," which translates to "Bulletproof Boy Scouts," but as their popularity grew in English-speaking markets, the acronym was retrofitted to mean "Beyond the Scene," which Big Hit has described as "symbolizing youth who don't settle for their current reality and instead open the door and go forward to achieve growth."
"We and our ARMY are always charging each other's batteries," RM says. "When we feel exhausted, when we hear the news all over the world, the tutoring programs, and donations, and every good thing, we feel responsible for all of this."
BTS fans offer a fascinating inversion of stan culture: Rather than bullying rivals like many other ardent online fan bases do, ARMY have put the positive message of the music into action. Their activism goes deep. Through micro-donations, they've regrown rain forests, adopted whales, funded hundreds of hours of dance classes for Rwandan youth, and raised money to feed LGBTQ refugees around the world.
"Dynamite," their first English-language single and their first American number one, is pure, ecstatic pop. Shiny and joyful. What sets them apart from many of their peers, and many of the pop acts who achieved worldwide fame before them, is what came earlier. Beneath the sheen and the beats has always been an unflinching examination of human emotion. Their lyrics seek to challenge the conventions of society—to question and even denounce them. BTS's first single, "No More Dream," unveiled at their debut showcase in June 2013, concerns the intense pressure South Korean schoolchildren face to conform and to succeed.
"I don't think this album will have any songs that criticize social issues. Everybody is going through very trying times right now. So I don't think there will be any songs that will be that aggressive," RM says of their new album, Be.
"I was just going to school," Jin says. "Someone from the company approached me, like, 'Oh, this is my first time seeing anyone that looked like this.' He suggested having a meeting with me."
"Jimin has a particular passion for the stage and really thinks about performance, and in that sense, there are many things to learn from him," J-Hope says. "Despite all the things he has accomplished, he still tries his best and brings something new to the table, and I really want to applaud him for that."
Jung Kook
We asked about dating, broad questions like "Are you?" and "Is there time?" and "Can you?" and the answer to all of them is pretty clear: "No." "The most important thing for us now is to sleep," Jung Kook insists.
"There is this culture where masculinity is defined by certain emotions, characteristics. I'm not fond of these expressions," Suga says. "What does being masculine mean? People's conditions vary day by day. Sometimes you're in a good condition; sometimes you aren't. Based on that, you get an idea of your physical health. And that same thing applies mentally. Some days you're in a good state; sometimes you're not."
"We're outsiders—we can't really express what we feel about the United States," says V. But their actions speak volumes; in the wake of the George Floyd murder and subsequent protests in America, the group made a $1 million donation through Big Hit Entertainment to Black Lives Matter, one that was matched by BTS ARMY.
"Season two is when we officially underwent hard training," J-Hope says. "We started dancing, and that's how I would say our team building started."

51 Langsford Road (MLS #1352569) is a cape single family home located in Kennebunkport, ME. This single family home is 2,635 sqft and on a lot of 15,246 sqft (or 0.35 acres) with 3 bedrooms, 4 baths and is 1 years old. This property was listed on 12/07/2018 and has been priced for sale at $2,395,000.
Nearby zip codes are 04005, 04006 and 04043. This property neighbors other cities such as Arundel, Biddeford and Kennebunk.


An isolated, over-stuffed galaxy wracked by overpopulation and xenophobia. Among small dots of comforting light in the darkness, one shines the brightest.
Is kindness so rare in the galaxy?
Some might say yes. Truth is, no, but it's always under threat. People carve out the best lives that they can, and little sanctuaries exist all over, but when resources and space are as limited as they have come to be in Ingenseria, not everyone can live in a sanctuary.
Some say there's a shining beacon of hope out there that has a way to breach the gap between galaxies, but few on the outside know much about it besides its apparent advancement and glamour.
A glittering, distant world, enshrined in ice.
A city on its surface, afflicted with a thick layer of timeless rime. Such perfection is the ice that even the bodies encased by it are still preserved, over a hundred years later, knelt in reverence at the base of a grandiose church.
Distantly, in the wastes far outside of the city, a spattering of vessels juts from the ice of a crater, blanketed with the thickest ice of all. No one dares to touch them.
"It was almost like it was talking to a resource. A soldier or something, rather than a person.
Maybe it's just because that's how it often feels when talking to automatons. I'm sure a lot of those Vigil people wouldn't like me saying that, but I think there's something strange about the AIs they let run the show.
Still, it was an honor, right? A weird, almost haunting honor, but an honor nonetheless."
"The Grand Council, they called themselves. All of this seemed so illustrious, but I don't think I can really wrap my head around the cultural context of it all. I wasn't a member of the Vigil, you know.
The Overseer, a whirlwind of floating parts and color, stepped down onto the platform with me and shook my hand. Told me that the work of my resistance had done much to help them establish a stable provisional government.
Something about the wording felt... cold, though. I don't know."
"The Argent court... brilliant and blinding. It had the trappings of a place where only kind judgments were passed, such beautiful geometry, though it was dizzying and hard to navigate for someone like me. The colors pulsing through the walls like little holes into a dawn sky... it was beautiful, but alien.
They say it is an honor to hold court with the Overseer. What a strange body, though. All of the Argent looked odd. Hard-light adorning them everywhere, floating parts all over..."
"The Vigil", they call it. It has a longer name, but few know it. At most, one might refer to it as the Last Vigil.
A collective of species, apparently having rummaged something from the spatial detritus of the galaxy deep in the Scar, where, for fear of the spatial anomalies that blight it after a harrowing event long ago, few were willing to tread.
Something that, by their tales, promises to open up a path to new galaxies, and finally put an end to the overpopulation.

Coleman Auto Supply to host customer…
Coleman Auto Supply to host customer appreciation day, grand opening Saturday
Chris, Mike and Tom Coleman, the new owners at Coleman Autio Supply, located at 1130 Royal Gorge Blvd. Carie Canterbury/Daily Record 5-15-19
By Carie Canterbury | canterburyc@canoncitydailyrecord.com | Canon City Daily Record
Chris, Mike and Tom Coleman, are the owners of the family owned and operated Coleman Auto Supply, located at 1130 Royal Gorge Blvd.
An auto supply store has been housed on the southwest corner of 11th Street and Royal Gorge Boulevard for nearly 50 years, and the Coleman family plans to keep that tradition moving forward with their Carquest independent store.
The business is independently owned and locally operated by Tom Coleman, along with his sons, Chris and Mike, who purchased SSR Auto Supply at 1130 Royal Gorge Blvd. in January.
The Colemans invite the community to a customer appreciation day and grand opening from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. There will be hot dogs, race cars, hot rods and giveaways.
The auto shop has been owned and operated by a number of families through the years, and now the Colemans look forward to offering the same products and service to current and new customers.
"We have auto parts, we are a PPG Platinum automotive paint distributor, we build hydraulic hoses and we can turn rotors and resurface flywheels," Chris Coleman said. "We also have body shop supplies, we keep a good stock of those."
The Colemans are a third-generation Canon City family, and "we are the only locally-owned auto supply store in Canon City," Chris Coleman said.
"What sets this place apart, and what we are continuing, is we will source," he said. "Sometimes there are some hard-to-find parts, and we work with more than 60 outside vendors to source those parts. We will go the extra mile to find that part that's hard to find."
"If we can't find it, then it doesn't exist," Mike Coleman said. "We search high and low."
Chris Coleman has been a "car guy" since he was a kid, he said, and Tom and Mike worked with Farmers Insurance 17 years.
"We operate with community interest in mind," Tom Coleman said.
Hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The business phone is 719-275-2309. For more information, visit Coleman Auto Supply's Facebook page.
