In 2011, a movie called "Contagion", which means "contagious disease", was shown at the 86th Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy. The film won the admiration of critics, and when it is shown in cinemas all over the world, scholars paid attention to it and praised its accuracy.
Commercially the movie succeeded at the box office, earning a budget of $ 60 million. But the strange thing is that this movie tells the story of a deadly virus that kills a large group of people within days, and that with the growth of the epidemic that was rapidly spreading, the medical community all over the world is racing to find a cure and control of the panic that is spreading faster than the virus itself.
The movie shows that this deadly virus is a mixture of influenza and another virus called (Nipah), and that it causes encephalitis and respiratory diseases. The interesting thing is that the first woman who was contracted with this virus and died and subsequently infected others has proven to have carried it from "Hong Kong" on her business trip there.
Another important thing is that at the end of the movie, it appears that there is a bat habitat that is being demolished to build a factory, and the bats are still alive, flying to a nearby pig farm, there, a fruit is removed from the mouth of a bat that mixes with the food that the pigs eat. One of these pigs is prepared in a luxury Hong Kong restaurant, where the aforementioned woman shook hands with the chef who is supposed to have been infected with the new virus while cutting the infected pig and the global epidemic begins!
This film is incredibly similar to the outbreak of the Corona virus, which has spread horribly now. China is the source and trying to direct the idea of its spread (in the film and the truth) to the bats that it eats – not long ago – people not only in the city of Wuhan, but bats are eaten in different quantities in some regions within China, Vietnam, Seychelles, Indonesia, Palau and Guam, and in some countries in Africa and Asia and the Pacific, as bats have been eaten in parts of Europe and the Middle East in the past. Because I studied and researched asymmetric wars, and I know quite well that among their weapons are biological weapons, and that in the United States there is nothing called sci-fi movies (Science Fiction) but rather there are films that come up with ideas that are tested or produced in the research laboratories of the US Department of Defense . And I linked – after researching the matter – between what is happening in China and the hidden war that is going on between it and the United States. It may be a correct link or a mistake that will leave the judgment to you.
Before I put forward what I found, I will know what biological weapons are, sometimes known as "bacterial warfare", they are the use of toxins or infectious agents of biological origin (bacteria, viruses, or fungi) to hinder or kill people, animals, or plants as part of the war effort to fail and weaken the target country.
Because it is difficult to control and verify genes that are targeted by biological weapons, it can spread in a way that is difficult to control, and may be destructive on a global scale, as it is banned globally under many treaties.
The history of biological warfare is a long one. It is a weapon whose deployment is simple. It does not need the electrical components, nuclear fusion, or titanium that is used in making missiles, for example. The use of these weapons also holds a certain appeal to terrorists, because they have the potential to cause great harm, and are also somewhat cheap when compared to missiles or other high-tech equipment.
Also, due to the long time it takes to spread and take effect, there is time for the perpetrator to escape without detection, and it is also unpredictable and most importantly, it creates a good market for the antagonists that only the manufacturer has. For example, more than two thousand years ago: Assyrians infected the wells of their enemies with "rye" fungus , which contain chemicals that cause those who drink them confused mental state, hallucinations and in some cases death.
In 1763, the British army attempted to use smallpox as a weapon against the Native Americans in the siege of Fort Pitt, as the British provided blankets from the smallpox hospital as gifts to spread the disease among the local population.
During World War II, the Allies built facilities capable of producing anthrax spores, which are widely found in nature, they are easily manufactured in the laboratory, and live for a long time in the environment.
It can also be launched in powders, sprays, water or food, but fortunately the war is over before it is used. But it appeared in 2001, as anthrax spores were sent through the United States Postal System, infecting 22 people, five of whom died. The guilty party was not arrested. And because biological weapons are so old, they have now been developed dangerously by gene-editing technology called "CRISPR", the technology that has set off alarm bells in the defense community, as this technology allows researchers to modify the genome, thereby modifying the DNA sequence easily to change the function of genes.
A report, published in February 2016, entitled "Assessing Threats Worldwide to the American Intelligence Group", was written by James Clapper, Director of US National Intelligence, in which he placed CRISPR technology on the list of weapons of mass destruction.
The outbreak of this virus in Wuhan, the largest tourist center of China, I think is not a coincidence, it is the largest modern railway intersection linking all major cities in China, and the Chinese New Year celebrations that attract a large number of tourists are held. This genius virus appears to have a long-term planned agenda against China to destroy its economy by describing them as suffering from a serious infectious disease. Media voices have started to rise and shout internationally against China as a demon and icon of death. This has raised concerns about Chinese food products, and will gradually lead to the social , domestic and outside cut of China, and this will shut down transportation in both directions, as we have noticed the airlines already stopping immediately.
This virus has had traumatic effects in the international community against China, as no one wants to welcome it at its doorstep, and there will be serious threats to inflict the Chinese economy in multiple ways, particularly through highly-rated propaganda regarding the travel ban.
There will also be alarming panic by issuing health and safety warnings as insurance companies will stop issuing insurance policies for travelers to China.
There are many foreign articles confirming that this virus is a biological weapon against China, but the most important was what was stated by a former member of the United Nations Committee on Biological Weapons "Igor Nikulin", where he said that the emergence of this virus could be a result of the use of an American biological weapon.
He mentioned the scandal in 2010, when one of the 400 American military biological laboratories deployed around the world was closed in Indonesia because it was conducting secret experiments with the bird flu virus. When the virus emerged from the laboratory and a serious pandemic began, the United States refused to provide information about its work to the Indonesian Ministry of Health. Thus, the virus that was in the movie "Infectious Disease" may have spread to come true!

Well, we passed St. Valentine's Day, and this year I was supremely busy so I couldn't write a blog about love or romance or huggin' and kissin'… and maybe that's a good thing, as this time of year that's all one seems to hear about. So I did a little research; I had an idea that if people really are "inspired" by St. Valentine's Day, there would be a higher number of babies born 9 months from that date than in any other month. The notion made good sense to me.
But there are not. In fact, it seems that in the United States, at least, the greatest number of babies born are in August. Which means that the act of conception would have to have transpired around the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Gosh, that's weird, I thought to myself. Who wants to sleep with anyone on a very, very full stomach? I still think it's weird.
But I would like to move away from the question of love-making and get back to love. For, you see, love and love-making are closely related ideas, but not quite the same. A husband loves his wife, and the two make love; that makes sense. But you can love someone in another way, too. In an interview, Michael Learned, who played the mother in the Walton's, a 1970s TV show, says she loved Ralph Waite, her co-star, but never "ruined" their relationship with one another by taking "that extra step" (to quote Ms. Learned in a recent article about their relationship).[1]
But even the kind of close spiritual bond that they shared is not the love I want to talk about here. Rather, I would like to talk about the best line I heard in a movie that I recently saw. The movie is the story of a young reporter named Lee Strobel, who is now a professor in Houston, Texas. He began his career as a star reporter for the Chicago Tribune. The movie is punchy, hard-hitting stuff, and even entertaining. It's about Strobel and his whole family's strange journey from a life in which reason, reality, and even a touch of gloom dominated their thoughts to a belief in possibilities, excitement and, dare I say, even the prospect of the miraculous.[2] But the reason I tell you this is, as I said, the line in question. At a climactic moment in the film, Strobel, who is investigating all the historical aspects of the crucifixion of Christ, ponders why in the world Christ would die on the cross, and he comes to this conclusion: "So love is the reason."
That was a profound moment for Strobel in the movie and it's a profound moment for the viewer, as well. Love is the reason. You could just put the period there; for everything. Love motivates, love opens up new horizons, love makes us open to new possibilities, and love can even tempt us to believe in miracles. I had dinner on Friday with one of my most beloved old friends—I say old, but he's only 35—we have been friends since he was about 20 (I'm a touch older). He once did not believe in miracles; firmly so. Yet now he does. What happened? Did he see miracles? (Yes he did, but only because he was by then looking for them). For what happened in the meantime was, well, the line from the film: that's what happened. He first saw that love in a great college professor named Carl Vaught. That could have been miracle enough. But he saw the love elsewhere, and now he carries that love with him and conveys it to all he touches. And, if I may say, this young man touches a lot of people, and not just because he has an Oxford PhD; he has touched me with his love that his simultaneously his own and also a gift he received, a gift of the cross.
I close with that thought: love. I hope, even pray, that it may surround you, envelop you, even from time to time embrace you. For that is what love does.

[2] The film is entitled, after a book that Strobel wrote, "The Case for Christ." Despite its rather pedantic sounding title, I warmly recommend the film. The second great line of the film was a paraphrase of C.S. Lewis' statement that if Christianity is wrong, it is of no great consequence; but if it is right, well, "that changes everything" and life is filled with wonder and "impossible" possibilities.

Q: Unable to install Windows 10 Sdk Tools I have Windows 10 build 10532 with Visual Studio 2015 Community edition. Since VS 2015 RTM does not come with Windows 10 tools, I wanted to download and install it. When I run the intallation file Visual Studio block set up and gives an error

Invalid entries passed to /Filterfeatureselectiontree swich.

What should I do?

A: The Windows SDK receives updates separately from Visual Studio releases, so you may have to reinstall/update the Windows SDK.
You can trigger the latest install from within Visual Studio.

*

*First, make sure you have the latest Visual Studio 2015 from http://aka.ms/vs2015ce

*From the File menu, click File|New|Project

*In the "New Project" dialog box, choose the Universal item on the left panel under Templates/Visual C#/Windows/Universal

*On the right panel, note that you will either have some Win10 templates or a single item that suggests that you need to download the Win10 SDK. (You may see both templates and the download suggestion if have an older version of the SDK and there is a newer version available)

*Click on the item to download the new Win10 SDK and click OK.

*This should kick off the download/install process and you may be prompted to close Visual Studio as soon the installer is running.

*When it's all done, go back to File|New|Project and try to create a blank app project.

Hope that helps! :)

Dude Bro Party Massacre III Releases First Brotastic Trailer
Matt Donato May 21, 2015 5:25 pm 2015-05-21T21:29:58-05:00
Dude Bro Party Massacre III is a splatteriffic horror comedy about a bunch of fraternity bros who start getting killed off one by one, featuring a cameo appearance by the Party King himself, Andrew W.K. If that doesn't get you excited, I assume you've spent too many nights burying your head in a mountain of cocaine, killing all your receptive senses.
The guys over at 5 Second Films are attempting to take the horror genre by storm with a comedic slasher spoof about some dudes, tons of cheap beers, and a killer named Motherface. There are no first or second installments of the hinted at franchise, and Dude Bro Party Massacre III is "presented as the only surviving VHS copy of the reviled horror franchise's third, and final, installment." Hopefully, like most good slasher movies, you won't need to see the first two forgotten films in order to enjoy more Delta Bis carnage.
Oh, and trust me, there's PLENTY of carnage. Just take a look for yourself at this EXTREMELY NSFW Red Band clip if you don't believe me. Aside from the gratuitous levels of bro-on-bro bonding, the clip showcases plenty of exploding limbs, gushing blood and all the 80s campiness you could ever want.
But if you're more of a clean-around-the-ears kind of viewer, or if you want to keep all the red gooiness a secret, the 5 Second Films guys have released the first official trailer for Dude Bro Party Massacre III. In addition to party monster Andrew W.K. (who has a bigger presence in the Red Band clip), you'll notice that Patton Oswalt joins the party as well. A deserted lake, shirtless frat guys, fun cameos, and a killer out for blood – this is everything that 80s camp was built on. Plus a pizza monster. And a smoking toy baby? WTF?!
Personally, I'm hoping these YouTube jokesters have what it takes to create a seriously demented comedy throwback, because it's not an easy task. There aren't usually any middle-of-the-road horror comedies. Only "HILARIOUSLY EPIC," or "effortlessly dull." Whatever. I've got my Ray-Bans on and my collar popped – I'm ready to bro down.
Directed by Michael Rousselet, Tomm Jacobsen, and Jon Salmon, Dude Bro Party Massacre III is set to premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 13th. Stay tuned for a future release date!

A longstanding Conservative Party member from Grindleton has been selected as the new Parliamentary candidate for Preston.
Richard Holden (29) was unanimously selected by a meeting of Conservative party members at Fulwood Conservative Club in Preston last week.
The former Grindleton Primary School pupil, who went on to attend the London School of Economics, has most recently been employed by the Conservative Party as Deputy Head of Press.
An active member of the Conservative Party for more than 15 years and an experienced political campaigner, Richard has volunteered his experience abroad in countries including Montenegro, Bosnia, Serbia, Georgia and Moldova, helping new parties in the former dictatorships with their transition to democracy.


A poignant, funny, blazingly original debut novel about sisterhood, the tantalizing dream of America, and the secret histories and hilarious eccentricities of families everywhere.
In the wake of their mother's mysterious death, Linno and Anju are raised in Kerala by their father, Melvin, a reluctant Christian prone to bouts of dyspepsia, and their grandmother, the superstitious and strong-willed Ammachi. When Anju wins a scholarship to a prestigious school in America, she seizes the opportunity, even though it means betraying her sister. In New York, Anju is plunged into the elite world of her Hindu American host family, led by a well-known television personality and her fiendishly ambitious son, a Princeton drop out determined to make a documentary about Anju's life. But when Anju finds herself ensnared by her own lies, she runs away and lands a job as a bikini waxer in a Queens beauty salon.
Meanwhile, back in Kerala, Linno is undergoing a transformation of her own, rejecting the wealthy blind suitor with whom her father had sought to arrange her marriage and using her artistic gifts as a springboard to entrepreneurial success. When Anju goes missing, Linno strikes out farther still, with a scheme to procure a visa so that she can travel to America to search for her vanished sister.
The convergence of their journeys—toward each other, toward America, toward a new understanding of self and country, and toward a heartbreaking mystery long buried in their shared past—brings to life a predicament that is at once modern and timeless: the hunger for independence and the longing for home; the need to preserve the past and the yearning to break away from it. Tania James combines the gifts of an old-fashioned storyteller—engrossing drama, flawless control of plot, beautifully drawn characters, surprises around every turn—with a voice that is fresh and funny and powerfully alive with the dilemmas of modern life. She brings grace, humor, deep feeling, and the command of a born novelist to this marvelous debut.
Tania James was raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and is a graduate of Harvard and Columbia universities. She has published her work in "One Story "and "The New York Times. "She lives in New York City.

Met Opera 2019-20 Season: Der Fliegende Holländer
The great bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel returns to the company for the first time since 2012, in the title role of the cursed sea captain doomed to sail the open ocean for eternity. Valery Gergiev conducts a new production by François Girard, whose visionary 2013 take on Parsifal set the recent Met standard for Wagner stagings. With sweeping sets by John Macfarlane, Girard's new production turns the Met stage into a rich, layered tableau reminiscent of a vast oil painting. The gifted German soprano Anja Kampe, in her Met debut, is the devoted Senta, whose selfless love is what the Dutchman seeks, with bass Franz-Josef Selig as her father, Daland, and tenor Sergey Skorokhodov as her deserted former lover, Erik.

I am a shallow man when it comes to cars. Looks are everything & there's no doubting that the Stinger is a great looking car. KIA have built a bonkers 3.3 V6 version, but for our more humble fleet readers & with petrol on the up, we tested the entry level 2.0 T-GDi petrol version which can be had for just under £32,000.
KIA love to give their customers a lot of standard equipment. Choose a premium German car, or something from JLR or Volvo & everything costs extra. Not so with the Singer. Included are 18″ alloy wheels, tinted glass, LED daytime running lights, a quad exhaust, projection headlights with manual levelling, dual zone climate control, leather upholstery, outer heated rear seats, front air ventilated seats, customisable heads up display, front & rear parking sensors, a rear USB charging point, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto with voice control, 15 speaker Harman-Kardon premium sounds system, it's all included !
It's not slow, either. With 244bhp, the Stinger 2.0 T-GDi will sprint from 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds flat & it will go on to hit 149mph at the top end. It doesn't feel quite as bonkers as some of the German cars it competes with, the power is delivered more smoothly than in the BMW 4 Series coupe for example, but, in a way, the smoother delivery is more user-friendly.
It's also great to drive & one of the main reasons for this that it features a rear-wheel-drive chassis. Couple this with precise steering & an 8-speed auto box that adds a smooth gear change & you will not feel short changed. Choose Sport mode & the head-up display switches from conventional type to italics, a neat touch & even when I found myself on a couple of draining motorway drives, the Eco mode doesn't reduce the fun too much & still makes this entry level Stinger a great motorway cruiser. The Stinger also comes with the option of Sport+, Comfort & Smart modes, all of which we tried, but in all honesty, Eco on the motorway & Sport when you get a chance did us fine.
The sloping roof line would appear to make the Stinger impractical, but it's not. Both front seat passengers get plenty of head & leg room & the two rear seats behind these, are surprisingly generous, with decent leg room on offer. The all-black roof lining makes the cabin feel smaller than it is though. For your odds & ends, Stinger offers two useful front door pockets, two central cup holders a usable glove box & a space to leave your keys in the centre binnacle. The boot isn't bad either with 406 litres on offer & the split folder seat means that if needed ,you can load something longer in there.
The build quality is pretty good. Yes, it's not as good a the interior in a BMW or Audi, but nonetheless, it offers plenty of top quality plastics on the the dash & around the centre console & the attention to detail on the red leather seats for example, is clear to see.
All of the switches & controls look & feel built to last & the 8″ touchscreen shared with other KIA & Hyundai models, is really intuitive & easy to use. Separate climate controls are a bonus too.
Despite the clamour for petrol over diesel, the 2.0 litre engine is not that fleet-friendly, offering CO2's of 191g/km coupled to a combined full economy of 33.6mpg. The fact is, that Kia's 2.2-litre CRDi would be far more economical for high-mileage drivers. I managed a fairly dismal 28.9 mpg driving the Stinger over 300 miles on mixed routes & roads. I'd expect the diesel to offer closer to 50mpg which is sizeably better.
Can it compete with a German car ? Not really, but if you want value for money in a sector where value is a bad word, then the Stinger would make a brilliant choice, especially in diesel form.
A great first effort from KIA. 3.75/5.

High availability and quick response time—Ensures the reliable delivery of time-critical information.
Integrated security—Protects sensitive areas of the network and its data.
Quality of service (QoS)—Network administrators can assign priorities to business-critical traffic for consistent, predictable delivery.
Web-based management and friendly graphical user interfaces (GUIs)—Save network administrators time and ensure management efficiency.
Current network traffic patterns—Ideally, traffic patterns should be baselined for a few weeks to identify which users or groups require higher bandwidth and whether user-generated information flows are one-	to-one (peer-to-peer) or many-to-one (client/server). Putting the right number of users on a switch can balance traffic loads and guarantee higher performance.
Company expansion plans—Switches must be able to handle current and future users. Consider the number of employees to be added (or reduced), new buildings on a campus, new functional groups to be formed, company acquisitions that might bring diversified network infrastructures, and so on.
Business software adoption plans—Bandwidth must be sufficient for the applications to be run. Both current and future media must be considered.
LAN upgrade plans—If the LAN will be upgraded from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet, the switch must be able to support that.
Advanced network technology adoption plans—Bandwidth must be sufficient for any new advanced technologies to be deployed, such as IP telephony to replace PBX systems, storage networking, wireless LANs, network security, and others.
For business-critical and growing networks, a foundation built on intelligent switching offers high performance, availability, scalability, security, and improved manageability for a reasonable cost.

A typo, I'm sure, but Sevastopol, where The Charge of the Light Brigade happened during the Crimean War, is adjacent the Black Sea, not the Dead Sea. Imagine you still had Israel on your mind. We're booked for several days in Israel in late November. We don't know if it will happen, but since it is part of a cruise, it isn't totally up to us. They've already eliminated Egypt from the itinerary.
Yes, you're right I meant the Black Sea. Thanks, will correct it. I hope matters settle down ahead of your cruise. Such an amazing part of the world.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip and are safely home. You were very brave to venture to Israel, and I'm sure that was not an easy decision for your family, but probably a once in a lifetime chance to witness something we usually see from the safety of our tv rooms. I look forward to hearing about the places, events and eats!!
Glad you are all home safe and sound.
OMGosh! I'd be shaking like a leaf. Glad you're home safe and I look forward to more stories about your trip(s).
Judy, I was really worried about you when you visited Israel. I am so glad that you are home and safe.
I'm glad you had a good trip and even gladder (if that's a word) that you're home safe. Peace is sadly underrated these days.
A beautifully written post Judy! It was an emotional read for me. I found myself tearing up a bit as I read it aloud to Nita. I'm looking forward to reading more about your trip and I can't wait to spend time with you in October.
News about MH17 really rattled me … we had just landed in Germany the day before. I can't imagine how incredibly close it felt for you. It seems that when I travel, the list of things I'm grateful for increases dramatically. Your post echoed that sentiment loudly.

Why we should oppose nuclear power via Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
Last Wednesday, Boris Johnson announced £525 million support for new nuclear power. In the coming weeks, he is expected to decide whether to approve a major new nuclear power station at Sizewell in Suffolk. In this guest blog, CND Vice-President Dr Ian Fairlie explains why supporting nuclear power is the wrong decision.
The reality of the matter is that we are in the midst of a technological revolution that encompasses new forms of renewable energy, new ways of managing the Grid, new methods of energy storage, and new ways of energy conservation.
As a result, the cost of the renewables just keeps on falling, while nuclear becomes inexorably more expensive. To give just one example: offshore wind is already getting built at about £40/MWh, while the Hinkley C plant, were it ever completed, would deliver electricity at about £93/MWh.
The Prime Minister often repeats the myth that nuclear will curb carbon emissions. But the carbon footprint from nuclear's fuel chain — including uranium mining, milling, U-235 enrichment, fuel fabrication, irradiation, radioactive waste conditioning, storage, packaging and final disposal — is astronomical. A recent study by Mark Jacobson, professor of civil environmental engineering at Stanford, estimates nuclear's carbon footprint to be 10 to 18 times greater than those from renewable energy technologies.
Boris Johnson would do well to heed the views of the public. 46% of participants in the UK Climate Assembly, a group of British citizens convened by six Parliamentary Select Committees, strongly disagreed that nuclear could play a role in reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050, with a further 18% undecided. Amongst the reasons for their scepticism were "cost, safety, and issues around waste storage and decommissioning."
Johnson recites the common myth that the renewables will be unable to supply all our electricity needs. But over 100 academic studies indicate that this view is out-of-date and incorrect: the renewables can indeed supply all our electricity needs. There is simply no need for nuclear.
Beyond this, nuclear power cannot be separated from the problem of nuclear proliferation, as fissile materials for nuclear weapons originate from civil nuclear reactors and nuclear facilities. Countries like Pakistan, India and Israel obtained their nuclear weapons from civilian reactors.
This is merely one problem, albeit a serious one. Nuclear is also an extremely unsustainable energy source. This is partly due to uranium mining which creates mine and mill tailings resulting in pollution and despoilation problems. And although nuclear power has existed for about 70 years, not a single licensed facility exists to deal with these radioactive wastes which will remain dangerous for millennia. The one such facility currently under construction, in Finland, will costs more than the revenue generated by the nuclear fuel it will store.
Apart from the problems of proliferation and unsustainability, we must never forget the serious nuclear accidents at Windscale (now Sellafield) in 1957, Kyshtym in the former USSR also in 1957, Three Mile Island (US) in 1979, Chernobyl (USSR) in 1986, and Fukushima (Japan) in 2011.

Get to know, which Internet Service Is Right for Your Business?
If you're looking to install the internet service then installing a fiber Internet Providers would be best for your new installation or upgrading. In the US the government is expanding to access more on fiber internet. After reading this, we can say that Fiber Internet Providers are going to bring the big future in digital communication. But before that let's quickly understand what Fiber Internet is?
Fiber internet allows you to access through fiber-optic lines by offering the transmitted services through copper lines. Mainly it uses binary numbering system which is a combination of number 0 and 1. This method of data transmission would work best for fast speed and reliability.
What makes fiber works very fast?
The fastest Internet in Tanzania is entirely depended on how much data the infrastructure can handle. There are using DSL copper wires and another cable internet to transmit the voice directly. Fiber Internet is quite faster than DSL and cable wires. They are better for carrying information over a long distance. It comes with significant advantages if you consider its speed, size and fiber lines.
Generally, we consider fiber cables as the best internet provider as it comes with the bundle of thin and light weighted fiber. It works very impressive for long distance and offers self-installation options.
Reliability: It's good to have backup internet access option available to use and operate with.
Availability: This cable is available widely and can be installed anytime anywhere.
Price: The general price ranges from $25 to $100 per month with depending on the location and area.
How is fiber Internet better and faster than DSL and cable wire?
Fiber optics is the Fastest Internet in Tanzania and carries data over long distance.
They are not affected by radio interference and other electrical fields.
If you want secure and reliable access to the internet in your business, then make a right choice by trying the Fastest Internet in Tanzania.

A Religious Conception of Evil
Duration: 1:14:44 | Added: 01 Feb 2012
Paper delivered at the Moral Evil in Practical Ethics Conference, Oxford 2012.
Many religious people use the term 'evil' to describe or explain actions and worldly events by appeal to a metaphysics involving the supernatural. A person performed a particular action because they were possessed by Satan; an apparent coincidence was no such thing but was the result of an intervention in the world by a demon, etc. It might be thought that because different religions postulate different supernatural ontologies, there would be a diversity of religious conceptions of evil. However, recent research in the cognitive science of religion suggests that there are very strong similarities in the conceptual commitments made by apparently very distinct religions. On the basis of such research I identify a shared religious conception of evil. This turns out to have much in common with the treatment of evil that falls out of Durkheim's classic analysis of the sacred.

You are here: Home / Community / Recreation Centre
The Scotland Island Recreation Centre
The Scotland Island Recreation Centre is the building that was for many years used as the Kindy. Sadly, the Kindy is no longer running, but the building itself holds many precious memories for generations of island children and the hardworking committees that ran it.
The NBC has now made this space available for hire. Booking is easy and islanders receive special rates. Bookings are for the centre as is, but NBC will be making future improvements to the building, so watch this space!
Facilities include:
Additional work on the building will be done over the next year to improve and extend its amenities, but for now the facilities include:
Kitchen with refrigerator, but no stove or dishwasher
Large open-plan space
One adult toilet
Three children's toilets (will be removed)
Wide balcony overlooking Catherine Park on two sides of the building
A storage room for artist/workshop equipment if you plan to run a series of workshops.
Lino floor suitable for workshops
Hiring the Recreation Centre
The fees and conditions for hiring the Recreation Centre are the same for the Community Hall. These conditions can be viewed by clicking on the documents below.

In July 2020, a community meeting was conducted by the Director of SIOCS to canvas the views of people in the community as to possible future uses of the space. This was followed up by a Survey Monkey poll in August. The survey was completed by 177 people, 68% of whom were female, 72% were aged 35-64 and 57% of respondents had children in their household.
The results of the survey were circulated in September 2020, but here is a reminder of the main findings of the survey.
In a letter to the NBC from Gail MacKenzie on 4 September 2020, she reported on the survey's findings:
'Ideas are not mutually exclusive and we envisage a community focused and multi-purpose offering featuring different activities on different days and times of day.
The strongest interest is in the cultural hub with a focus on art. This idea is popular, and may be reminiscent of the old 'Gone Fishing' gallery at the Pasadena, which was managed by islanders (48% felt they were very likely to use a cultural hub incorporating workshops, training, weekend art gallery, cafe, exhibitions, sales). In conjunction with the feedback that the highest interest in services lie in art and pottery classes (over 40% felt very or quite likely to uptake these services), we can see the community would get behind a place of sharing, learning, socialising, buying and selling around art and culture. People are keen on a cafe too, probably as part of this exhibition space.
Next level of interest came the knowledge share and tool library (25% felt they were very likely to use this to recycle and repair, and take DIY classes on typical island tasks). And 24% felt very likely to use a community garden (with workshops, plant exchange and growing space). These are interests specific to life on our island and show a keen interest in ideas to engage in sharing knowledge within the community.
There is also interest in a members' club which could have social evening events.
Other ideas such as a co-op for buying bulk dry goods scored relatively well'.
In April 2020 the Council made the space available for use by the community in line with the ideas put forward in the survey. SIRA was asked to administer the centre in the same way that it administers the Community Hall – i.e. a hall manager/s, booking system and charging of fees, responsibility for cleaning and reporting to Council when maintenance and repairs are needed.

Q: Restore a deleted Commit I was working on a project today, and i committed a month worth of changes,
then I did a major change in the project which broke the whole project.
So I reset to the previous commit using
git reset --hard <commit>

and then
git push origin HEAD --force

after than all my previous changes were gone because I choose the wrong commit to reset to (not sure).
and whenever i write any git command now i get (not a git repository).
and I opened Bit Bucket and both commits are gone.
Is there ANYWAY to restore that commit PLEASE?
The project is a groovy on Grails project.
I'm using intelliJ

A: Your local repository keeps copies of commits for at least 30 days by default.  The repository over on Bitbucket probably does not.
If you have not erased your local repository, look there for the commits.  Use git reflog or git reflog <branchname>.  The reflog for HEAD holds the hash IDs that HEAD represented in the past.  The reflog for the given branch name, such as master, holds the hash IDs that that branch name represented in the past.
If you were on branch xyzzy when you did the git reset --hard <commit>, xyzzy@{1} represents the hash ID that xyzzy held before this git reset --hard, so git reflog xyzzy will show you the commit you want.  You can now git reset --hard <commit> to that hash ID, pushing all the numbers up by one, i.e., what was xyzzy@{1} is now xyzzy@{2} and the wrong commit hash ID you picked last time is now xyzzy@{1}.  Meanwhile xyzzy (aka xyzzy@{0}) is now the hash ID you just picked this time.
You can now git push origin HEAD or git push origin xyzzy to send this hash ID (and the commit(s), if they've lost it/them) to the Git at Bitbucket, and ask them to set their xyzzy to this hash ID.  You will only need --force if this operation loses some commit(s) on their end.

The Trial and the Death of Socrates
By: Plato
Narrated by: Bruce Alexander, Jamie Glover, David Timson
Categories: Literature & Fiction, Ancient, Classical & Medieval Literature
4.3 out of 5 stars 4.3 (304 ratings)
Narrated by: Bruce Alexander,Jamie Glover,David Timson
Narrated by: full cast
The Greek word sumposion means a drinking party (a fact shamefully ignored by the organizers of modern symposia), and the party described in Plato's Symposium is one supposedly given in the year 416 BC by the playwright Agathon to celebrate his victory in the dramatic festival of the Lenaea. He has already given one party, the previous evening; this second party is for a select group of friends, and host and guests alike are feeling a little frail.

The Trial and Death of Socrates
Narrated by: Dick Hill
The Trial and Death of Socrates presents the trial and subsequent execution of Socrates in 399 BCE. Socrates was tried on the basis of two ambiguous charges: corrupting the youth and impiety. "Euthyphro", one of Plato's early dialogues, takes place during the weeks leading up to Socrates' trial. "Apology" is Plato's version of the speech given by Socrates as he defends himself against the charges of being a man "who corrupted the young, refused to worship the gods, and created new deities".

The Socratic Dialogues: Early Period, Volume 1
The Apology, Crito, Charmides, Laches, Lysis, Menexenus, Ion
By: Plato, Benjamin Jowett - translator
Narrated by: David Rintoul, full cast
Here are the Socratic Dialogues presented as Plato designed them to be - living discussions between friends and protagonists, with the personality of Socrates himself coming alive as he deals with a host of subjects, from justice and inspiration to courage, poetry and the gods. Plato's Socratic Dialogues provide a bedrock for classical Western philosophy. For centuries they have been read, studied and discussed via the flat pages of books, but the ideal medium for them is the spoken word.

Here, in this second collection of Socratic Dialogues from Plato's Early Period, read by David Rintoul as Socrates with a full cast, are contrasting six works. Often, as with Gorgias, which opens the recording, Socrates combats the popular subjects of sophistry and rhetoric, in direct conversation with Gorgias (a leading sophist teacher), and with one of his pupils, Callicles.

Plato's Republic
Narrated by: Ray Childs
The Republic poses questions that endure: What is justice? What form of community fosters the best possible life for human beings? What is the nature and destiny of the soul? What form of education provides the best leaders for a good republic? What are the various forms of poetry and the other arts, and which ones should be fostered and which ones should be discouraged? How does knowing differ from believing?

Masters of Greek Thought: Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle
By: Robert C. Bartlett, The Great Courses
Narrated by: Robert C. Bartlett
For more than two millennia, philosophers have grappled with life's most profound and "eternal" questions. It is easy to forget, however, that these questions about fundamental issues like justice, injustice, virtue, vice, or happiness were not always eternal. They once had to be asked for the first time. This was a step that could place the inquirer beyond the boundaries of the law. And the Athenian citizen and philosopher who took that courageous step in the 5th century B.C. was Socrates.

By: Aristotle
Narrated by: James Cameron Stewart
Aristotle's Metaphysics was the first major study of the subject of metaphysics - in other words, an inquiry into 'first philosophy', or 'wisdom'. It differs from Physics which is concerned with the natural world: things which are subject to the laws of nature, things that move and change, are measurable. In Metaphysics, the study falls on 'being qua being' - being insofar as it is being; the causes and principles of being, the causes and principles of substances.
For Academics
By George C. on 01-31-19
Narrated by: Andrew Cullum
The title Politics literally means 'the things concerning the city'. Here, Aristotle considers the important role that politics plays in the life of the community and its contribution to harmonious and virtuous existence. It is divided into eight books and was a cornerstone in political philosophy for centuries despite certain features - including attitudes towards slaves and women - clearly placing its conclusions and advice within the confines of Athenian society of the fourth century BCE.

or The Matter, Form, and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiastical and Civil
By: Thomas Hobbes
Narrated by: James Adams
The leviathan is the vast unity of the State. But how are unity, peace, and security to be attained? Hobbes' answer is sovereignty, but the resurgence of interest today in Leviathan is due less to its answers than its methods: Hobbes sees politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as geometry.

Narrated by: David Rintoul, Hugh Ross, full cast
Here are three important but very different Dialogues from the Middle Period. Symposium, the most well-known in this collection, is concerned with the theme of love. In the house of Agathon, a group of friends - each very different in personality and background - meet to consider and discuss various kinds of love. Each one, Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes (the playwright) and Agathon (a prize-winning tragic poet), presents his particular view in a short discourse.

Solid primer on Aristotle
By Luke Walton on 07-03-15
By: The Great Courses, and others
By: The Great Courses, David Roochnik
Narrated by: Professor David Roochnik Ph.D. Pennsylvania State University
More than 2,000 years later, Plato's Republic remains astonishingly relevant to our everyday lives. It poses one question after another that might well have been drawn from the headlines and debates of our nation's recent history: What sort of person should rule the state? Are all citizens equal before the law? Should everyone have equal access to health care? Plato's greater inquiry, however, was into the question of defining justice itself and the reasons why a person would choose a life aligned with that virtue.

The Twelve Caesars
By: Suetonius
Narrated by: Charlton Griffin
The Twelve Caesars was written based on the information of eyewitnesses and public records. It conveys a very accurate picture of court life in Rome and contains some of the raciest and most salacious material to be found in all of ancient literature. The writing is clear, simple and easy to understand, and the numerous anecdotes of juicy scandal, bitter court intrigue, and murderous brigandage easily hold their own against the most spirited content of today's tabloids.

The Myth of Sisyphus
By: Albert Camus
Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini
One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning.

The Socratic Dialogues: Middle Period, Volume 3
By: Plato, Benjamin Jowlett - translator
Narrated by: David Rintoul
Length: 12 hrs
The Republic is perhaps the single most important, the most studied and the most quoted text of all of Plato's Socratic Dialogues. Through the medium of Socrates, Plato outlines his view and ideas concerning the ideal working of the city-state. Socrates narrates a conversation that took place the previous day with Cephalus, Glaucon, Thrasymachus and others. The dialogue is organised into 10 books and covers a broad range of topics, including the ideal community and the ideal rulers of the community.

Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone
By: Sophocles
Narrated by: David McCallion
Sophocles was born at Colonus, near Athens in about 496 BC and is considered to be one of the premier playwrights of Greek tragedy. His stories may have been filled with strife, but Sophocles himself was prosperous and came from a good family. It is said that he was handsome, wealthy, and a highly respected citizen of Athens. During his life, he wrote over 120 plays and was instrumental in how plays would eventually be performed, including the addition of stage props.

The Enchiridion & Discourses
By: Epictetus
Narrated by: Haward B. Morse
The Enchiridion is the famous manual of ethical advice given in the second century by the Stoic philosopher Epictetus. Born to a Greek slave, Epictetus grew up in the environment of the Roman Empire and, having been released from bonds of slavery, became a stoic in the tradition of its originators, Zeno (third Century BCE) and Seneca (first century CE).
Inspiration from thousands of years ago
By Jose on 07-30-17
The Trial and the Death of Socrates remains a powerful document not least because it gives a first-hand account of the end of one of the greatest figures in history.
In Apology, Socrates defends himself before the Athenian court against charges of corrupting youth. Phaedo is the account by a young man of the actual last words and moments of Socrates.
Tom Griffith presents these with scene-setting introductions to the historical situation in this new translation.

What listeners say about The Trial and the Death of Socrates
Outstanding Performance!
The performance makes the trial come to life!
I have been assigned to read Plato's "Apology" for my Philosophy 101 class, and got this audiobook to make it easier. Definitely recommend!
The way the work is read makes it seem as if you were actually a member of the jury at the time and place of Socrates' trial. They even put some echo in there to make it seem more real- a really neat touch.
A good amount of context is given at the beginning and end of each section, making it much easier to understand what is going on and why is it being executed the way it is.
There are several sections to this audiobook- context information, "The Apology", and other works that go with it including the account of Socrates' actual death.
This work of literature is a classic. Thought provocative, supremely rhetorical, definitely something to reflect and learn from.
Even better than I expected
I enjoyed everything about this audio book. The reader is good about keeping a steady pace as he reads, allowing you to absorb Socrates's words.
The text, in itself is amazing. Even a couple thousand years after his death it is still very insightful and pertinent.
Apology is excellent, the rest isn't for driving.
This recording sounds like its over 20 years old, but the performance is so good that the listener forgets about the sound quality. In my opinion, the Apology part of this recording is actually the most captivating performance of the works of Plato on Audible. However, the dialougues such as Crito are hard to follow if one isn't concentrating, don't try listening to them during your morning drive.
This is a really excellent piece! The audio is perfect, the reader is clear and acts the part of Socrates well. Socrates, for his part, comes off as a tad arrogant, but always insightful, fascinating and moving.
Lazaro C. Ojeda
This was my second probe into Plato, the first being Plato in 90 minutes, and I found it very easy to follow. The narrators are excellent. You won't be disapponted if you appreciate wisdom.
Plato's finest work
Would you listen to The Trial and the Death of Socrates again? Why?
Yes. I have listened to the trial several times. It is and will forever be one of my favorite classical works.
It is the story that made Plato famous... and it may be the only time where truth spilled from the quill of Plato... that cousin of the thrity, that was hell bent on destroying the Athenean Democracy that had thwarted every attempt at forceful overthrow.
Have you listened to any of the narrators's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Was there a moment in the book that particular moved you?
When Socrates suggests his punishment, he knows he is sealing his fate. He does not fear death, and he believes that the impact of his death in this manner will be far greater than the few years of life he has left.
Socrates thought the message would be heard quickly after his demise, but it has been almost 2500 years, and he has yet to be avenged.
Perhaps the trouble in Greece right now will bring about the world Socrates dreamed of... a world ruled by philospher kings, where every person is a king.
Democracy was assassinated by a stream of propaganda. When only the powerful possess the means to spread a message, that message is hostile to the common man. The meek shall inherit the earth. That will happen when we take the message of Socrates to heart. It is also the message of a craftsman from Nazareth.
Excellent rendition
People don't change. His persecutors could live today. I am not sure, however, that we have a Socrates.
R Beauchamp
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes. It is true to the good translations.
Its a classic must read for those who wish to have a proper education.
Did The Trial and the Death of Socrates inspire you to do anything?
It is rather dense. Inspire me to listen along as I read from the text.
The music between sections/chapters is Horrid! It really kills the mood of the reading with its shrill teeth grinding tones. Buy the book but put up with the music. Wish there was a way to skip the music.
Lots to think about
Would you consider the audio edition of The Trial and the Death of Socrates to be better than the print version?
not sure don't have the book
What other book might you compare The Trial and the Death of Socrates to and why?
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
makes it easy for a trucker to get in some books while driving.
It made me think. Puts into better argument about death and life in a different way.
Must get if like to think deep on life.
Stevan
Great Audio Book
This Was a great Audio book. The reader did an excellent job. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Police: Mall of America shooting leaves 2 people injured
Bloomington Police vehicles are parked outside of the Mall of America following a shooting, Friday, Dec. 31, 2021, in Bloomington, Minn. Two people were shot and wounded following an apparent altercation at the Mall of America Friday, sending New Year's Eve shoppers scrambling for safety and placing the Minneapolis mall on temporary lockdown, authorities said. (Alex Kormann/Star Tribune via AP)
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Two people were shot and wounded following an apparent altercation at the Mall of America Friday, sending New Year's Eve shoppers scrambling for safety and placing the Minneapolis mall on temporary lockdown, authorities said.
One man suffered a gunshot wound to the leg during the shooting that happened about 4:30 p.m. on the third floor of the mall and another person was grazed, police said. Shoppers ran for cover and the mall was evacuated until the lockdown ended about 45 minutes later, a mall official said during a news briefing.

Deputy Bloomington Police Chief Kim Clauson said police and mall security arrived within a minute of shooting. The man shot in the leg was taken taken to a hospital for treatment, while a second victim was treated at the scene and released. Both injuries were considered non-life-threatening.
No arrests have been made and the suspect is believed to have fled the mall, police said. Clauson said the shooting did not appear to be random.
"It does appear there was an altercation between two males before the shot was fired," Clauson said.
Alexis Gonzalez, who works at the mall, told the Star Tribune that "when we heard the shot and heard the screams we all got frazzled."
Gonzalez said he saw people running as the mall lockdown alarms began, and people rushed into his store.

Media reports showed New Year's Eve shoppers screaming and running from the mall. Police said the lockdown was lifted by Friday evening and officers were no longer searching for a suspect inside. The mall, which had been scheduled to close at 6 p.m., remained closed.
The Mall of America bans guns on its premises, according to its website. The mall does not utilize metal detectors and shoppers are not searched upon entry. Mall spokesperson Dan Jasper said lockdown drills are performed each month to prepare for shooting scenarios.

Nichole Rawlings of Cumming, Georgia, is now the Gallery Director at Brenau University in Gainesville, Georgia.
Nichole Rawlings Oversees Galleries, Permanent Art Collection
Brenau Staff
Brenau University has appointed Nichole Rawlings as director of galleries and custodian of the permanent art collection. She has been the office manager of the Performing Arts and Art Galleries Support in Brenau's College of Fine Arts and Humanities since 2012. She has always had a love for the arts and is an artist herself. She will assume her new position effective July 1.
"Nichole's academic background in art history, knowledge of Brenau's art collection, and ability to manage multiple projects and competing demands with grace and aplomb make her the right choice as the new gallery director," said Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Nancy Krippel. "Brenau is fortunate to have Nichole already on staff so she can step into the position with an understanding of our systems and requirements."
Rawlings attended Forsyth Central High School in Cumming, Georgia, and was a Brenau University Firespark! camper. During her high school career she studied under the associate dean of fine arts and humanities, Mary Beth Looney, and under former Brenau University Gallery Director Mary Jane Taylor. After high school Rawlings went on to study at Elon University in North Carolina, where she majored in art history and minored in digital art and Italian studies. She interned at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta in the exhibitions department, gaining valuable skills in exhibit planning and implementation. While in college, Rawlings studied abroad in Florence, Italy, for three months and learned about art, the Italian language, and amazing food.
After graduating, Rawlings went on to study at American University in Washington, D.C. She obtained a master's degree in art history with a specialization in the Italian Renaissance. While in D.C. Rawlings was able to intern at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in adult programming. Her combined experience in both exhibitions and programming has served her well in supporting the Brenau University CFAH mission.
After finishing her master's degree, Rawlings moved back to her native Georgia and obtained a job at Brenau University. She has been with Brenau for two years and values every moment and connection made while there.
"I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to serve as Brenau University's Gallery Director," Rawlings said. "In my two years at Brenau University I have witnessed the immense potential of the permanent art collection to impact students, faculty, staff, and the community at large. While our designated gallery locations contain curated shows throughout the year, Brenau's campuses themselves serve as exhibition spaces that make our collection accessible. The breadth and quality of work held in the Brenau University Permanent Collection establishes our university as a strong contributor to the arts culture of Northeast Georgia."

Q: V8 engine is single threaded? Since Node.js is single threaded and it's built over v8 engine of google chrome but the chrome has more then one thread.
Why we call it single threaded ?

A: It's single threaded on the JavaScript side, but there are multiple threads under the hood of v8.

A:
Since Node.js is single threaded

What makes you think so?

but the chrome has more then one thread
Why we call it single threaded ?

There are few misunderstandings here. First of all Chrome is a browser. It's not JavaScript, it can run multiple processes or threads or not. For example Chrome utilizes multiple threads when opening new tabs, spawning new, isolated JavaScript runtime each time.
Similarly Node.js is whole runtime environment, not only JavaScript. And as such it does utilize multiple threads for example for disk I/O.
But JavaScript itself is single-threaded (even though not guaranteed to be) in the sense that you can't access (directly) other threads from JavaScript itself. Yet.

As lovers of the natural world ourselves our aim is to operate in the most ecologically responsible manner possible. We are not a "mass market" operator. We choose to develop our holidays in a way that offers walkers the opportunity to enjoy a destination while leaving footprint on the environment. Our walking holidays are designed to contribute to the local and rural communities and economies that we visit. As most of our holidays are walking-based we aim to keep our operations as environmentally friendly as possible.
Most of the countries where we operate are served by scheduled flights to and from the UK, including many by low-cost airlines.
…or spend every last penny.
We firmly believe that each country has a unique and largely undiscovered natural environment and we aim to identify it for you and combine it with excellent accommodation and cuisine at a competitive cost.
