Wilhelm Busch (27 mars 1897 - 20 juin 1966) est un pasteur allemand, évangéliste dans les mouvements de jeunesse, écrivain et militant de l'Église confessante pendant la période nazie en Allemagne.

Biographie

Jeunesse
Wilhelm Busch est né à Elberfeld le 27 mars 1897, dans le foyer du pasteur Wilhelm Busch et de son épouse, Johanna Busch, née Kullen. Celle-ci était enracinée dans une communauté piétiste située à Hülben, près de Bad Urach, en Souabe. Malgré son éducation dans ce milieu pastoral, le jeune Wilhelm Busch est peu attiré par le religion dans ses premières années. Il poursuit ses études secondaires à Francfort, puis il s'engage dans l'armée allemande comme volontaire en 1915. Il est promu lieutenant d'artillerie à 20 ans. C'est en 1918 sur un champ de bataille à proximité de Verdun, qu'il acquiert une foi personnelle en Christ lorsqu'un de ses camarades meurt brutalement, touché par un éclat d'obus.

Après la guerre, il décide d'étudier la théologie protestante à Tübingen. A l'issue de ses études, il entre pour six mois comme pasteur proposant dans la paroisse luthérienne de Gellershagen près de Bielefeld. Il y rencontre sa future épouse Emilie Müller ("Emmi"), fille d'un directeur d'école et organiste de la paroisse. Ils auront deux fils et quatre filles.

Débuts dans le ministère pastoral
En 1924, Wilhelm Busch devient pasteur à Essen, où il est chargé d'un ministère d'évangélisation, en particulier auprès des ouvriers des mines. En 1929, il prend la responsabilité de l'évangélisation de la jeunesse au centre chrétien pour la jeunesse d'Essen, créé par son prédécesseur, le pasteur Wilhelm Weigle, qui sera appelé plus tard la Maison Weigle (Weigle-Haus) et sera rattachée aux UCJG/YMCA d'Allemagne de l'Ouest. Il mène simultanément des tournées d'évangélisation dans tout le pays et à l'étranger.

Sous le nazisme
À l'époque du national-socialisme, il adopte la position de l'Église confessante allemande, opposante intransigeante du nazisme. Ayant refusé de prêter serment d'allégeance à Hitler et ignoré l'interdiction de prêcher le dimanche, il enseigne l'égalité des races devant Dieu et aide des juifs à fuir à l'étranger. Le 11 février 1934, le club de jeunesse protestant (Evangelische Jugendverein) est dissous et la maison de jeunesse fermée. Malgré les menaces et les pressions, le pasteur Busch refuse de fusionner son œuvre avec la Hitlerjugend (jeunesse hitlérienne) et réussit même à reprendre son travail auprès de la jeunesse sous le nom de "City Mission". La maison elle-même reçoit son nom actuel, la "Weigle-Haus", à ce moment. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la maison est partiellement détruite et elle ne pourra être reconstruite et rouverte que le 23 mai 1954. Le programme pour les jeunes tournait principalement autour des dimanches, conjointement avec les services religieux, du sport, des jeux et même des activités éducatives telles que le "club d'intelligence" (Intelligenz-Club). Pendant la semaine, les groupes de jeunes appartenant à la maison Weigle se rencontraient dans de nombreux quartiers de la ville.

En tant que membre actif de l'opposition aux efforts des nazis pour prendre le contrôle de la vie des églises protestantes allemandes, il proclame ouvertement sa foi et ne tient pas compte des interdictions qui lui sont faites d'enseigner la Bible, ce qui lui vaut plusieurs arrestations et de longues peines de prison. Malgré cela, le pasteur Busch parvient pendant ces années sombres à faire participer deux cent à trois cents jeunes gens à ses leçons sur les Écritures dans des maisons privées, dans des sous-sols ou en plein air. Son fils n'a jamais participé aux activités de la jeunesse hitlérienne pourtant rendues obligatoires par la loi. En 1937, il est arrêté juste après avoir prêché dans l'église Saint-Paul de Darmstadt en raison de l'affluence très forte et du fait que les autorités nazies le trouvent capable de contrer leurs propres aspirations à contrôler les masses. Pour éviter des désordres publics dans l'église bondée, la police le laisse prêcher et l'arrête à l'issue, pour lui signifier son expulsion du territoire de la Hesse. Son refus lui vaut d'être immédiatement incarcéré par Gestapo à la prison de Darmstadt.  Au cours de ma vie, j'ai traversé diverses épreuves difficiles. A cause de ma foi, j'ai été jeté en prison plus d'une fois. Pas parce que j'avais volé des cuillères en argent ou que j'avais commis un autre crime. Sous le Troisième Reich, les nazis n'aimaient pas les pasteurs comme moi qui s'adressaient à la jeunesse, et c'est pourquoi les autorités n'arrêtaient pas de me jeter dans ces endroits assez sinistres.

Ministère après 1945
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il reprend ses activités pastorales auprès de la jeunesse au sein de la Maison Weigle jusqu'à sa retraite officielle en 1962. Cette retraite n'interrompt pas son activité d'évangélisation itinérante. Le slogan « Jésus notre destin » devient l'idée maîtresse de ce ministère qui se poursuivra jusqu'à son décès.

Il affirme ses convictions de chrétien pacifiste. S'opposant à la politique de réarmement de Konrad Adenauer, il soutient le Parti populaire pan-allemand (Gesamtdeutsche Volkspartei - GVP) nouvellement créé par Gustav Heinemann et, plus tard, le Parti social-démocrate d'Allemagne (SPD).

Parmi ses élèves de l'après-guerre, on compte les pasteurs Klaus Bockmühl et  qui a déclaré qu'il avait été fortement impressionné par la « proclamation claire, imagée et audacieuse de l'Évangile »  de Busch.

Décès
Il décède à l'hôpital de Lübeck le 20 juin 1966 alors qu'il revient chez lui après avoir évangélisé à Sassnitz sur l'île de Rügen. Le thème de son dernier sermon, prononcé la veille, était « La vie avec Dieu en vaut-elle la peine ? » ( "Was hat man denn von einem Leben mit Gott ?" ). Il est inhumé quatre jours plus tard. Parmi les nombreux participants à ses funérailles, le futur président de la République fédérale d'Allemagne, Gustav Heinemann, apporte dans son discours le témoignage suivant :Partout où il passait, il suscitait toujours quelque chose. L'essentiel chez lui cependant, c'était qu'il était un ambassadeur crédible de son Seigneur, qui pénétrait toutes les réserves. .

Famille
Wilhelm Busch a épousé Emilie Müller ("Emmi") en 1923. Ils auront deux fils et quatre filles. Le ménage perdra ses deux fils prématurément, l'aîné, Eberhard, décède à 14 mois en janvier 1933, le second, Wihhelm, dans sa vingtième année en 1944 pendant la deuxième Guerre mondiale, sur le front de l'Est où il a été envoyé malgré sa situation médicale d'hémophile. Le même front de l'Est prend également la même année la vie du plus jeune frère du pasteur Busch, Friedrich. Les 4 filles du couple (Hanna, Elisabeth épouse Währisch, Margarete épouse Zöbeley et Renate épouse Lipps), talentueuses, mènent leur vie dans différents domaines. Emmi Busch survit à son mari pendant plus de 20 ans et décède en juillet 1984 à Essen.

Postérité et influence
En 1967, donc après le décès du pasteur Busch, paraît le livre « Jésus notre destinée », (en allemand Jesus unser Schicksal), livre qui a été qualifié de « livre d'évangélisation le plus connu en langue allemande ». Il a été composé à partir d'une compilation de 17 de ses discours radiophoniques. Un thème commun dans ses discours est la centralité de Jésus dans la doctrine chrétienne.  Le titre « Jésus notre destinée » vient du thème principal de la grande campagne d'évangélisation que le pasteur Busch a tenu à Essen en 1938.

Traduit dans au moins 36 langues, l'ouvrage a atteint une distribution mondiale de plus de 2 millions d'exemplaires et poursuit également sa diffusion sous forme électronique via internet. Le pasteur Ulrich Parzani, qui écrit en 2016 à l'occasion du  de la mort de Wilhelm Busch, se dit surpris que des gens lui disent toujours que « la prédication de Busch a été déterminante pour leur conversion à  Jésus-Christ. »

The Ellowynes were in the Community Center meeting about their yearly plan. And the coats were all there...beside me.
So you'll see Birdy in a fluffy yellow coat that she thinks makes her look like...Sesame Street's Big Bird! And she thinks that's a good thing!
And Chantal is in a pretty pink coat with a wide collar. Scout picked a lime green tweed.
And Lula borrowed a tweed duffel just perfect for winter play. Now she doesn't want to give it back!
And look at Evie in a bomber jacket with its leopard trim!
This photo shoot was fun!
But the girls really wanted to continue on to an outing downtown for a nice lunch, or to our surrounding hills with all those cross country ski trails... We'll see.
Birdy loves the yellow coat and wanted lots of photos!
Jiyoon here is wearing a gorgeous embroidered Ellowyne coat!
Pearl, Tink, and Xennia are wearing Wonderful World coats, from eBay last year.
Faith has on one of the warm cardigans from amgirliam, with Pachom's scarf and hat set.
Zoey is wearing a Betsy McCall coat. And the rest are in Ellowyne garb.
Now you can see why these girls wanted to venture farther than our cedar bush diorama here.
We might see some real birds!
Oh, they are all just toooooooo cute in those gorgeous little outfits. Loving Birdie in her Big Bird coat as well. I imagine you'll have to wrestle that away from her!! I love those little boots they're wearing. Well I'll attempt to make some boots for Conner, but I don't know if they'll look as good. In any case, this post was good "research" for me! Bye girls. Conner sends a big kiss to you all!
Well, you must know that your recently-made white feather coat would be a big hit with Conner's friends! I will have to move some of the great photos you have sent so we can share them here on Hiya Dolly! Can't wait to hear the squeals from the girls!
I must say I love these girls in their own coats, but the Ellowyne outerwear is amazing!
We are benefiting from the wardrobes of the different doll "families" being moved into closer proximity! That was a good move! Now, where to put all those displaced magazines!
Ok the girls really do need an outing in those fab coats How would you all like a winter drive to Kane Valley ? Maybe Kate would have us for tea !!!
Hey Mischelle! A drive to Kane Valley? THAT of course would suggest cross country skis and snowshoes! I don't dare even say the words Kane Valley after the spate of creativity here! I would be sent out into the yard to find the girls some flat sticks, and twigs for poles! Okay... a little white lie perhaps. I am not above a little white lie...to dolls. Maybe just "Kate's place for tea". Ya, that could work! Okay then!

Home All The News Premier League winners and losers
Premier League winners and losers
Date published: Thursday 4th April 2019 9:32
Chelsea's young pair
Maurizio Sarri is in 'cannot win' territory, and he should not expect to leave it for some time. If Chelsea's manager now picks Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on a regular basis and sees them thrive, his critics will reason that a grave error was made in not picking them earlier. If the pair are picked and perform poorly, it is because Sarri has eroded their belief. If they are relegated back to the bench now, Chelsea's manager will have a mutiny on his hands.
All Sarri can do is win matches, ignoring the chants against him from the stands and getting on with a job that could still see Chelsea finish in the top four and win the Europa League (they are clear favourites for that competition).
But when you watch Hudson-Odoi's dynamism on one wing creating more space and time for Hazard on the other, watch Giroud and Hazard link up and watch Loftus-Cheek dominate in central midfield and produce such a wonderful strike, it does raise several questions about Sarri's persistence with Gonzalo Higuain, Pedro/Willian and Mateo Kovacic. And none of the answers are pleasant reading for Sarri.
Nuno Espirito Santo
The next cab off the rank for any discerning elite club. There is no suggestion that Nuno is looking to engineer a move (and he clearly has a natural loyalty to this project), but that shouldn't stop the sharks from circling. Wolves are enjoying a sensational season. Nuno is more responsible for that than anyone else. Yes, even Jorge Mendes.
Plenty – *raises hand* – scoffed when Wolves outlined their plans to break into the Premier League's top six, but that ambition now deserves to be taken seriously. Their form against the biggest and best in the division this season has been astonishing. Create a league table of matches between the current top seven, and Wolves sit third behind only Manchester City and Liverpool. Their 1.3 points per game is higher than Arsenal (1.18), Chelsea (1.2), Tottenham (0.91) and Manchester United (0.7).
And still they keep on improving. Wolves took their eye off the ball against Burnley on Saturday, but in the space of three weeks they have beaten Manchester United twice and reached their first FA Cup final in 21 years. If this club is reaching heights none considered possible before Nuno's appointment, they are showing little sign of choking as the stakes get higher.
There's no place like new home. Tottenham may not have sparkled and dazzled during their stadium debut, but Mauricio Pochettino won't give two hoots about that. The new ground is everything anyone wanted and more, and the noise produced by the South Stand something truly extraordinary.
Pochettino has repeatedly stressed that this is a stadium which must host Champions League football, and after a run of one point from a possible 15 Tottenham are back up to third. Three of their next four games are against Manchester City, but Huddersfield, West Ham, Everton and Brighton are the other confirmed guests at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium between now and the season's end. That provides a chance to establish some home dominance and secure their top-four place.
Phil Foden
Finally a first league start. The next step is being selected for a match when City aren't 1/14 to win, but that's beside the point for now. Foden looked every bit at home in midfield. His greatest strength is playing with the composure of a 30-year-old at the age of 18. Now to lead England Under-21s to glory in the European Championship this summer, please.
Manchester City's home dominance
It's all getting a little silly. Since the astonishing home defeat to Crystal Palace in December, Manchester City have won 11 straight home games including fixtures against four of the current top seven. In those 11 games, City have conceded three goals and scored 48 times. A goal difference of over four per game. Christ.
Diogo Jota
A player who has drifted almost entirely under the radar. Jota only turned 22 in December, but has seven goals and four assists in the league this season.
More pertinently, he has benefitted from Nuno's switch in formation and new role as support striker to Raul Jimenez. In 12 games as a striker Jota has contributed nine goals and assists including two winners against Manchester United. He now merits serious consideration for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Watford's ruthless home form
If Javi Gracia had one regret during this excellent Watford season, it would be his side's inability to regularly compete with the best. Their ten fixtures against top-six clubs have produced only three points, earned in a home win over Tottenham in early September.
But the flipside to that negativity is Watford's ruthless home form against the rest. Vicarage Road is hardly the most intimidating atmosphere in the top flight, but it's home sweet home for Watford. They have now taken 23 points from a possible 30 at home to non top-six sides.
Olivier Giroud and Eden Hazard
This column has been touting Giroud to start over Gonzalo Higuain for some time, and on Wednesday got its wish. If Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi starting was the obvious headline news, Giroud starting his first Premier League game since December 30 was another indication that Sarri may be ceding some of his stubbornness.
I wrote earlier this season that Giroud was the most important non-scoring striker, and I stick by that. Since August 2017, and including matches for Arsenal, Chelsea and France, Giroud has started 56 matches. His teams' record in those matches: Won 43, Drew 9, Lost 4. Each performed better with him than without.
Most importantly for Sarri, Giroud enjoys a wonderful relationship with Eden Hazard that Hazard is only too happy to shout about. The pair have started ten games together in all competitions this season, of which Chelsea have won eight and drawn two (away at West Ham and at home to Liverpool). In those nine games, Hazard has scored seven goals. Or, to put it a different way, 59% of Hazard's goals in all competitions this season have come when Giroud has been on the pitch and they have only started nine games together.
Scott McTominay
A mightily disappointing evening for Manchester United, but McTominay will remember it as the night on which he scored his first senior goal. Jose Mourinho might have picked him as a central defender as a loaded message to Manchester United's hierarchy, but with doubts over the future of Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera it's a good time to impress Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Fulham, footballing magpies
It is a decent measure of Fulham's season that Scott Parker was talked up for the manager's job on a permanent basis having lost each of his first four games in charge. Now four straight defeats has become eight, and an admission from Parker that his team lack nous. Add that to a long list.
Fulham have now entered their fourth month without an away point. Even when they establish a foothold in a game, as per their equaliser at Vicarage Road on Tuesday, you can have no faith in their ability not to let it slip out of their grip like a handful of sand. For all Huddersfield Town's misery this season, Fulham spent £100m, are only three points ahead and were relegated three days later. They are the most spectacular Premier League implosion since QPR in 2011/12.
Now the soul-searching must begin. Fulham have alienated many supporters through ludicrously high ticket prices having reasoned that they were in the big boys' club now. They allowed the son of the owner to remain in de facto charge of transfers and watched on as he got distracted by shiny transfer market objects like a footballing magpie. They signed a collection of individuals when they needed to improve a team. Fulham would have done no worse (and likely far better) had they kept the same team as last season and kept the same manager too. That should shame those who opted for the opposite approach, and act as a reminder to those who are promoted this season.
The bottom three, and the gap
As per football writer Richard Jolly, the Premier League's current bottom three have played 31 league games against the current top six this season. Not only have they lost all 31 matches, they have conceded 91 goals at a rate of almost three per game. Anyone can't beat anyone in this league.
The Premier League's bottom three have played 31 league games against the top six this season. They have lost all 31.
P31 W0 D0 L31 F17 A91 Pts0.
— Richard Jolly (@RichJolly) April 3, 2019
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tactical gamble
Jose Mourinho was mocked for picking McTominay in central defence, so it's only fair that Solskjaer gets the same treatment. Ashley Young may be many things; winger, full-back, bird poo eater. But he is categorically not a central defender. And that must be the end of the least successful experiment since the builders of Pisa chose to build their tower on soft soil.
By playing Young on the right side of a back three and instructing Diogo Dalot to attack from right-back, Solskjaer was hoping to replicate England's style in the World Cup when Kyle Walker played the Young role. But Walker is a better defensive full-back than Young, who was consistently caught between his two positions and then collected two yellow cards for his troubles.
In the immediate future, Solskjaer has a full-back problem: Young is now suspended for one game and Luke Shaw for two having reached ten yellow cards. In the bigger picture, Manchester United have now lost three of their last four games and have been pushed back into sixth place. Their next six matches include Barcelona (twice), Manchester City and Chelsea at home and Everton away, and they are now 3/1 in places to finish in the top four. Sh*t, as they say, is about to get real for Ole.
Benjamin Mendy
Players should never be dissuaded from being themselves and having a personality, but there comes a point when you just want to shake Mendy. He's been injured on and off ever since he arrived in Manchester for a fee of more than £40m, for which he bears no guilt. But in his pre-match press conference, Pep Guardiola confirmed that Mendy had been spotted in a nightclub at 3.30am on Saturday morning when he was due to attend training later that day.
Guardiola may have stressed that he was not Mendy's father and couldn't therefore tell him how to live his life, but he is his manager and considers total professionalism as a minimum expectation. Mendy is wasting his chance under the best manager in the world. One day, he might just regret it.
Roy Hodgson's safety-first approach
Uncle Roy has done a fine, fine job in taking Crystal Palace out of trouble, albeit with the best side on paper in the bottom eight. But he must learn to have a little more courage. We saw what Palace can do when they take on a team during the memorable victory at the Etihad in December. That should have been the blueprint for every other game.
Yet on Wednesday, Palace barely attempted to unnerve a side that had the pressure of playing their new stadium for the first time and who had taken one point from their last five league games. Tottenham didn't even have to play that well to brush Palace aside.
He's scored six league goals in 974 minutes this season. By way of comparison, Loftus-Cheek has five in 564 minutes. It isn't easy for a young striker to sit on the bench and then hit the ground at sprinting speed when he is called upon, but that rate just isn't good enough given the service that comes your way in this Manchester City side.

Darwin's theory of evolution was influenced by interpretations of Hindu philosophy, especially reincarnation and human development. Hindus have found support for, or ideas foreshadowing evolutionary ideas, in scriptures, such as the mytheme of Dashavatara, the incarnations of Vishnu starting with a fish.

Reception in India

In India, there were minimal references to Darwinism in the 1800s. While elements of Victorian England opposed the idea of Darwinism, Hindus already had the present notion of common ancestry between humans and animals. While the creation–evolution controversy has seen much debate in US, Middle East and parts of Africa, it is an insignificant issue in India, because of its Hindu-majority population.

Most Indian scientists accept biological evolution and it is taught in Indian universities.

Spiritual evolution

Many Hindu reformers compare the Samkhya philosophy, specifically the term parinama and the concept of evolutes, with Darwinism. David Lagourie Gosling has suggested that Swami Vivekananda based most of his cosmological and biological ideas on Samkhya. Influenced by western thought and esotericism, Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo developed a view on reincarnation in which an involution of the Divine into matter takes place, and the person has to evolve over multiple lives until the Divine gains recognition of its true nature and liberation is attained.

Hindu creationism

Hindu creationism also known as Vedic creationism is a type of religious old earth creationism. According to Hindu creationists all species on earth including humans have "devolved" or come down from a high state of pure consciousness (Brahman). Hindu creationists claim that species of plants and animals are material forms adopted by pure consciousness which live an endless cycle of births and rebirths. Historian of science Ronald Numbers has commented that "Hindu Creationists have insisted on the antiquity of humans, who they believe appeared fully formed as long, perhaps, as trillions of years ago." The views of Hindu creationism are based on the Vedas, which depict an extreme antiquity of the universe and history of the earth.

The emergence of modern Vedic creationism has been linked to Dayananda Saraswati, the founder of Arya Samaj. In his Satyarth Prakash, Saraswati promoted anti-evolutionary views and took a literal reading of the Vedas. He argued that God designed the physical bodies of all species 1.96 billions years ago on earth and on other planets at the beginning of the present cosmic cycle. He stated that God conjoined the bodies with pre-existing souls and that different species were created and distributed to souls in accord to their karma from the previous cosmic cycle. Saraswati in a public lecture condemned Darwinian evolution but misunderstood common descent by questioning why monkeys no longer evolve into men.

Vedic creationism holds a view of the world derived largely from the Bhagavad Gita. It was promoted by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada the founder of ISKCON who referred to Charles Darwin and his followers as "rascals". Vedic creationism was also promoted by ISKCON devotees Michael Cremo and Richard L. Thompson, authors of the 1993 book Forbidden Archeology. They argue that human beings are distinct species that have existed for billions of years. Vedic creationists are known to search for anomalies and reinterpret the fossil record to make it fit with their metaphysical assumptions.

Vanara

The Sanskrit epics of the Hindus mention several exotic creatures including ape-like humanoids. The Ramayana speaks of the Vanaras, an ape-like species (ape-men) with human intelligence, that existed millions of years ago alongside modern humans. Michael Cremo, a Hindu creationist, states:

Dashavatara

The order of the Dashavatara (ten principal avatars of the god Vishnu) is interpreted to convey Darwin's evolution. British geneticist and evolutionary biologist J. B. S. Haldane opined that they are a true sequential depiction of the great unfolding of evolution. According to them, like the evolutionary process itself, the first avatar of God is a fish - Matsya, which depicts aquatic life, then comes the aquatic reptile turtle, Kurma, which depicts creatures moving to land, then a mammal - the boar Varaha, then Narasimha, a man-lion being, which is sometimes taken to mean creatures like Okapi, Archaeopteryx, and others, then comes Vamana, the dwarf hominid. Then Parashurama depicts humans when they were in the caveman stage. And then, Rama depicts the rise of civilization and kingdoms. (Sometimes, when Balarama is taken into account, he is taken to represent the growth of agriculture.) Krishna is taken to symbolize the growth of art and crafts. 9th avatar & Kalki is not yet born. Hinduism mentioned kalki born in kaliyug end period & 9th Avatar coming in half suvarna kaliyug end period.

Q: Is it OK to return HTML from a JSON API? On my current project I am responsible for the implementation of a service which involves the consumption of newly created RESTful APIs, documented as solely supporting JSON.
The client consistently makes requests with the accept header of 'application/json' and content-type of 'application/json'. However some endpoints send a response with a content-type of HTML, even a HTML body. To me this is clearly the wrong approach and can never be justified.
Throughout the project this same practice has been applied across two different vendors and two different services. I found myself having to justify why the services needed to be changed. The vendors stated that the client should cope with this and even my REST library of choice has been questioned (RestEasy) because it doesn't cope with this by default 'out the box'.
This has been a major point of frustration. I can't find many references to back up my argument, I assume this is because the point is moot as it's so obvious.
The question is, am I missing something? am I being pedantic about this? Is it OK to have a JSON API that doesn't have a content-type of application/json in this scenario? References would be appreciated. How do you resolve this situation from a commercial point of view?

A:
The client consistently makes requests with the accept header of 'application/json' and content-type of 'application/json'

Yes, this is the correct thing to do, but doesn't mean the vendor cares. While I totally understand your frustration, because I also think a JSON service should always give a JSON response but there are many examples where that's the not the case.

Throughout the project this same practice has been applied across two different vendors and two different services. I found myself having to justify why the services needed to be changed. The vendors stated that the client should cope with this and even my REST library of choice has been questioned (RestEasy) because it doesn't cope with this by default 'out the box'.

Well, I have to agree with the vendor. It's their service and as long as they document clearly the special cases for using it, then you can't really impose that they change it. It's a disadvantage for them as developers will be slow to adopt their API, and if they listened to what the developers need then they would change it, but sadly there is no rule that they must follow standards.

The question is am I missing something?

Request headers mean nothing unless they are interrupted correctly on the other end. I know that if I develop a web API using PHP, then to hell with the request headers. I can respond with whatever I want. Whereas, a service configured in IIS with C# offers much easier handling of request headers, their type and handling the response type. It has a lot to do with the tools the vendor used to build the API.

I'm I being pedantic about this?

Yes and No. I have developer friends who would be unable to move past this. They would become so fixated by the problem and unable to proceed with other tasks until the API works the way they expect it to work. Now that's being pedantic.
It's a problem because the vendor has created "more work" to complete your tasks. Anyone would be frustrated by that. I know I would be.

Is it OK to have a JSON API that doesn't have a content-type of application/json in this scenario?

Absolutely, but it's not a good practice.
A client can only tell the server what the context-type of a request is. It has no ability to enforce a content-type for the response. The client can only inform the server that it will accept a collection of possible content-types.
Header Field Definitions

The Accept request-header field can be used to specify certain media types which are acceptable for the response. Accept headers can be used to indicate that the request is specifically limited to a small set of desired types, as in the case of a request for an in-line image.

It's possible for a client to request an image of image/jpeg, but the server responses with text/html and a status code of 404 if the image was not found. Servers can also respond incorrectly. There are many Wordpress websites out there that respond with text/html and status code 200 for files not found pages.
Now that is all BAD practice on the part of the server. What I'm trying to tell you is that it's absolutely possible, and happens often. People don't know what they are doing when they configure these things.

References would be appreciated. How do you resolve this situation from a commercial point of view?

I've run into this problem on a few projects. You post JSON data to the server and it gives back either a JSON or HTML response.
It really isn't a big deal to know which type was in the response. If the first character is { or [ you can assume JSON. If it's < you can assume HTML. That's how I've handled it in the past. Sometimes the programmer who wrote the API knows jack all about HTTP headers. Everything comes back as text/html responses. If you are lucky they have Apache configured to default to text/plain which can sometimes help.
These problems exist and will continue to exist far into the future. Server to server communication is by far an unregulated activity. There is no governing body that will kick out a vendor from a union for a server that gives bad HTTP responses.

A: When you are sending an accept header requesting a specific media type, the server should not send back something else, and most certainly not with a 200 OK status code
From Restpatterns.org:

If no Accept header field is present, then it is assumed that the
  client accepts all media types. If an Accept header field is present,
  and if the server cannot send a response which is acceptable according
  to the combined Accept field value, then the server SHOULD send a 406
  (not acceptable) response.

(Emphasis mine)
Restpatterns.org takes this from the actual HTTP standard: Header field definitions - Accept
In short: you are not being pedantic. The services are not following the HTTP standard if they are returning HTML when the accept header specifically tells them to return application/json and nothing else.

A: What do you mean by "RESTful JSON API" - I think the first issue here is that you are mixing up concepts (or possibly someone between you and your technical counterparts at your "suppliers").
A RESTful API (whether you're talking not at all rest really at level 1 or something at level 3 or above c.f. http://martinfowler.com/articles/richardsonMaturityModel.html ) is about the way you interact with the API not about the format of the content sent to or received from. Its not even about protocols or transport mechanisms...
Similarly a JSON API is an API that supports use of JSON as a data format - it may or may not be restful, it may or may not be implemented using HTTP and (and this is the key point) it may  or may not support JSON exclusively.
A good API running over HTTP (its reasonable to assume that in context you're talking about an api exposed over HTTP) should allow you to request content in a variety of formats and those formats can (and possibly should) include HTML as well as JSON and XML. Why? Well it would make learning the API a lot easier, conceptually it provides an instant browser based UX for whatever purpose and so on...
The interesting question then becomes if my API, which supports a variety of content formats, is called without being told what format the client expects then what format should it return...? This tends towards a religious argument - but HTML gives the provider the option of including helpful information (like "remember to set the content accept header").
To answer the question an API, one that's restful and one that supports json should absolutely be able to return HTML if that's the requested content.

In Episode 035 back in October, I talk with Dr. Nirav Shah about the general state of stem cell therapy for stroke survivors. Afterwards, Nirav connected me with the lead researcher on the University of Miami's stem cell research team, Dr. Dileep Yavagal so I could talk to him about his research. That brings us to today's episode.
Dr. Yavagal specializes in vascular neurosurgery. That includes procedures like thrombectomy, where a doctor inserts a catheter into a blood vessel in the groin to go up into the brain a pull out the clot. Mechanical thrombectomy can be done up to 24 hours after stroke symptoms begin, and it can have a tremendous impact on minimizing the damage from an ischemic stroke.
What it doesn't do today is help patients recover from stroke. It means fewer brain cells die, but the dead and damaged ones don't get any help. When we say time is tissue or time is brain, this is why. Every minute that a clot blocks a vessel, more brain dies. To recover functionality today, we rely on neuroplasticity. PT, OT, Speech therapy, home exercises, eStim, SSRIs, acupuncture, and more therapies are all about encouraging the brain to rewire in such a way that we can work around that dead spot in our heads.
That's the question stem cell therapy tries to answer.
Stem cells, as you may recall from my chat with Nirav, are cells that can become other cells. Embryonic stem cell are the ones we here about in the news, but not the ones used in the trials today. These are critical in embryos because those stem cells turn into all the other cells in our bodies -- nerves, muscle, brain, heart, left pinky, etc.
Adults have stem cells, too. The most common source is our bone marrow -- the soft tissue inside our bones where the body actually creates blood. Research is now looking at how we can use the stem cells to drive the growth of fresh neurons in the brain.
There are two major approaches in the research, today. The Stanford study demonstrated the safety of its procedure in a small study, but more work is being done to test the effectiveness. That process focused on chronic stroke survivors -- those several years post stroke. In that study, researches a hole in the skull to inject the patient's own stem cells into the damaged area. Results are preliminary, but promising.
Dr. Yavagal's work at the University of Miami is different in several ways. First, his work is focused on using stem cell therapy within the first day or two of the onset of symptoms. Secondly, his work relies on donor stem cells since the patient's own stem cells are not available in quantity right after the stroke. Third, his procedure involves delivering the cells to the brain through a catheter, similar to that used during thrombectomy or used to repair an aneurysm. His results are also quite prom, and he's preparing the next phase of study to move the science along and develop safe, effective treatments.
The key question we always ask is, "When will this therapy be available?"
The answer is we are not there today, despite the clinics popping up claiming to offer the therapy. However, it appears we are 2-3 years out if things go well, or potentially 4-5 years out if they don't.
In addition to his work with stem cells, Dr. Yavagal is also one of the leaders of the Thrombectomy 2020 program -- an international initiative to reach 202,000 thrombectomies a year by 2020 and to continue doubling after that. There are communities in the US and around the world where this therapy is simple not available, and yet it can be such an extremely powerful way of reducing the disability caused by stroke, saving hundreds of thousands of people from having to deal with the deficits of stroke and saving billions of dollars in healthcare and disability expenses. We'll talk more about Thrombectomy 2020 in a future episode.
Who is Dr. Dileep Yavagal?
Dr. Dileep R. Yavagal, MD, FAHA, FAAN, FSVIN is the Director of Interventional Neurology and Co-Director of Neuroendovascular Surgery at the University of Miami & Jackson Memorial Hospitals and Clinical Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine. He has recently been appointed to lead the Neurological Cell Therapy Platform at the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University.
Dr. Yavagal is an international thought leader in endovascular therapy for ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke as well as a pioneer in the translation of intra-arterial delivery of cell therapy for stroke. He was the national Co-PI of the first US multicenter clinical trial of Intra-arterial delivery of autologous bone marrow stem cells for ischemic stroke: RECOVER Stroke. He was on the on the steering committee of the SWIFT-Prime and MR RESCUE, both landmark randomized clinical trials of endovascular stroke therapy. He co-authored the landmark 2015 AHA Endovascular Stroke Therapy Guidelines as well as the recent groundbreaking DAWN stroke trial in the New England Journal of Medicine. He is the founder and Past-President of the Society for Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN). He has also co-authored the AHA Policy statement on Stroke Systems of Care.
Dr. Yavagal has received several state and federal research grants to study endovascular stem cell therapies for ischemic stroke using small and large animal models of stroke in his research laboratory. He is considered a pioneering researcher the field of intra-arterial delivery of stem cells in stroke therapy.
As we head into the gift giving season, we have to start thinking about how to wrap presents. Wrapping paper is great when you have 2 functional hands or you use some sort of gift-wrapping service. If you have just one functional hand, it can be more challenging. You can find videos on YouTube demonstrating one-handed techniques, but I prefer the simpler way.
Seriously, make it easy on yourself and uses theses fancy mini shopping bags. Add some tissue paper to the bag, put the gift in, the lightly crumble some more tissue paper to put on top. Then you're done. If you're feeling really ambitious, you can tie the handles together with ribbon.

I recently had the task to integrate some enterprise WCF services with a K2 blackpearl process for a company. If you need an introduction on WCF, please read this blog I wrote on how to write a WCF service.
There was not much stuff on the K2 Underground so I figured I write a short blog on how to go it. Thank you to Bob Maggio at K2 for giving some pointers.
There are really two ways you can do this.
Call WCF endpoint through server side event handler in K2.
Use the Dynamic WCF SmartObject Service.
To all a WCF endpoint from a server side code event is pretty simple but there are a few things you should know. First, you may be used to right clicking on references in class library project and selecting the "Add Service Reference". What this does use the Svcutil tool to generate a client service class for you to call. That equivalent is not available in a K2 blackpearl project. You can try to add a reference by going to the K2 blackpearl process properties and then select references. In there you have the ability to add a "web reference" but that is for a Web Service. Even if the WCF service is deployed in IIS, you cannot use that methodology as it will give you errors. Just trying doing in a command line application outside of K2 and you will see what I mean.
Add a class library project.
In the K2 process properties, add a reference to that new project.
Add the client service interface to that project and create a helper class that calls the WCF endpoints. Follow my instructions that I wrote about in this blog.
In the K2 process server side event, add code to call your helper class.
You will need to take the WCF client endpoint configuration (discussed in this blog) and add it to the C:\Program Files\K2 blackpearl\Host Server\Bin\K2HostServer.config.
You will need to restart the K2 service to take effect.
In step five I discuss adding the WCF client endpoint configuration to the K2HostServer.config. This configuration is global to all K2 processes running on that server.
To test you helper class outside of K2, just create a command line project that reference the helper project. Place the client side endpoint configuration in the app.config of that project.
In my solution I elected to not use this even though it is a pretty good approach. Why? We really were not using SmartObjects as part of the overall architecture. First, I really did not want to have to pass through SmartObject layer just to do WCF call. Second, SmartObjects are great for doing visual development inside your K2 blackpearl processes. However in this solution we were already doing lots of server side code events so writing code into the process was not big deal and really quick to do anyways.
If we had decided to use the Dynamic WCF SmartObject Service I really liked to deployment better than the first option we went over. The configuration of the WCF service endpoints would have been in the SmartObject service on each K2 Server rather than having to modify the K2 Service config file and restarting the K2 server when there is a change.
You deploy process version 1.
You create 10 process instances on version 1.
You make a change to the process and the WCF interface and deploy version 2 of the K2 process.
BOOM, process instances on version 1 start bombing because changed the WCF interface.
Remove a WCF service method.
Change the parameters, data or contract of an existing WCF service method.
Drastically change the internals of an existing WCF service method.
There will be a high chance that you will run into this issue. You need to account for this because making changes to WCF services. This is really nothing new; you will run into this issue when calling external databases or web services. If you are practicing good SOA methodologies you will be able to handle service versioning.


The Philippines were declared an American Territory on January 4, 1899, and fortification construction soon began on the islands in the mouth of Manila Bay. Among the sites built were Fort Mills (Corregidor), Fort Frank, and the formidable "concrete battleship" of Fort Drum. The defenses suffered constant Japanese bombardment during World War II, leading to the surrender of American forces. In 1945 the forts were manned by Japanese soldiers determined to hold out to the bitter end. This title details the fortifications of this key strategic location, and considers both their effectiveness and historical importance.
One of America's greatest military defeats occurred on May 6, 1942 when nearly 15,000 American and Filipino troops defending the island fortress of Corregidor at the entrance to Manila Bay in the Philippine Islands surrendered to a Japanese landing force of 1,000 men. The fall of the reputedly invincible Corregidor and its supporting island forts was a low point for the Allies during the war in the Pacific. The words Corregidor and Bataan would enter the language as fighting words, as America sought to make amends for defeat in the Philippines. Revenge would follow only three years later, as the island fortresses were retaken from the Japanese in a bloody campaign.
How and why were these formidable fortifications built and developed? Why did these defenses fall in both 1942 and 1945? This book will endeavor to detail the design and purpose of the American defenses of Corregidor (America's Gibraltar in the East ) and Manila Bay, and explain why the defensive principles failed to prevent the fall of these island forts.
The Philippine archipelago, a collection of over 700 islands located in the Pacific Ocean roughly between the island of Formosa to the north and Indonesia and Dutch New Guinea to the south, was first visited by the Europeans of Ferdinand Magellan's circumnavigating fleet in 1521. The islands were under the control of Spain until the waning years of the 19th century. Following the events of the Spanish American War in 1898, the islands became a territory of the United States of America. The United States established its primary military and administrative headquarters in Manila. The former Spanish naval yard at Cavite City, south of Manila, became a US Naval Station to support the American Asiatic Fleet. The defense of the naval station and the importance of Manila led the US Army to establish military reservations on the islands at the entrance to Manila Bay and to construct seacoast artillery defenses during the period 1904–21.

Manila, the principal city in the Philippines, is located on the eastern side of Manila Bay. Manila Bay is approximately 30 miles in diameter and reaches the South China Sea through a 12-mile entrance on its southwest side. This passage is bounded on the north by the southern tip of the Bataan Peninsula, with its nearby Mount Mariveles that rises to 4,550ft, and on the southeast by the shoreline of Cavite Province, with its Pico de Loro Hills rising to 2,230ft. Strung across the entrance to Manila Bay are five volcanic islands. The largest and most famous of these islands is Corregidor (1,735 acres) rising to 628ft at its highest point, which is also the site of the island's lighthouse (completed in 1853). Corregidor, shaped like a tadpole, is divided into named sections (west to east): Topside, Middleside, Bottomside, Malinta Hill, and the Tail. The Bataan Peninsula is 3.5 miles to the north of Corregidor's lighthouse, while the Cavite shoreline is 8.3 miles south of the lighthouse. Caballo Island (75 acres) which rises to 381ft to the southeast of Corregidor, is 2.5 miles from Corregidor's lighthouse. La Monja Island (less than 1 acre) lies about 3.7 miles due west from Corregidor's lighthouse. Carabao Island (45 acres), with a maximum elevation of 180ft, is located 8.1 miles south of Corregidor's lighthouse, just off the Cavite shoreline. El Fraile Island (less than 1 acre) lies 6.3 miles to the southeast of Corregidor's lighthouse.
As relations between the United States and Spain deteriorated in early 1898, special instructions were sent to Commodore George W. Dewey, the newly appointed commander of the American Asiatic Fleet based in Hong Kong. Dewey's objectives were to seek out and destroy the Spanish fleet in the Philippines, seize a base for further operations of his squadron, and ensure that Spain could not pose a threat to American operations in the Pacific.
War was declared on Spain by the United States on April 26, 1898. As soon as Dewey received the news, he quickly finished his preparations and sailed for the Philippines. Dewey's first concern lay in finding the Spanish fleet – whether it remained in Manila Bay, had moved to Subic Bay (a deep-water bay about 30 miles to the northwest of Manila Bay), or had sailed to another location. After checking Subic Bay and finding it empty, he headed for Manila Bay. Dewey then considered the harbor defenses his fleet might face when entering Manila Bay. He had reports that some seacoast artillery was emplaced on the islands at the entrance to the bay: in fact, the Spanish had 26 guns located at six different positions around the entrance. Of these only eight were modern breech-loading weapons (four located on Corregidor Island, two on El Fraile Island, and two located on Punta Lassi). Dewey also had to consider the possibility of mines blockading the entrance. His resulting plan was bold – he would steam past the artillery defenses in the dark, hoping to minimize any damage to his ships. He dismissed the mines for two reasons: the channel he was using was too deep for mines; and he thought the mines, if present, would likely be out of working order due to lack of proper maintenance.

Q: In RE5 what is the best order to upgrade your weapons? In Resident Evil 5, I am looking for the best weapons to update for the first playthrough  and what should I upgrade in further playthrough.
My goal is to max the game in the most efficient way, because I lost my saves and started from scratch with a friend in coop.

A: Fully upgrading the M92F unlocks the Beretta M93R. Fully upgrading the M29 Magnum unlocks the S&W M500 Magnum. You unlock the Hydra shotgun by fully upgrading the Ithaca M37 shotgun. Fully upgrading the VZ61 allows the player to purchase the Gatling Gun from the store. About S75 rifle already mentioned musefan.
If your goal is max the game then you still have to upgrade all weapons, so the order isn't important. Each weapon have their adventages and disadventages, so hard to say which order would be the best, all is up to your preferences.
I hope it will help someone.

"Belly Dancer" is a song by Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall featuring American musician Pharrell Williams, the latter producing it with Chad Hugo as The Neptunes. Released on March 25, 2003, it was originally the first single from the former's unreleased album, Firestarter Vol. 2: The F-Word Theory.

Background
The song was inspired by Naomi Campbell, who was in the studio while the song was recorded. The single briefly appeared on the Billboard charts, and a music video was shot by Little X on May 7, 2003 in Toronto. However, the video remains unreleased, because Kardinal's label at the time, MCA Records, was absorbed into Geffen Records, leaving the single without promotion.

In an interview, Kardinal stated that he does not like the song, and "it was the first thing I did that wasn't from the heart."

Kyoto offers the best Chinese food in town!
Everyone is so nice and they food is amazing!
Food is always great. I would definitely suggest the Duncan Roll.
Normally I have excellent service. However, I had to wait an additional 20 minutes for my order. Considering I placed the order 20 minutes before the time need I was a little disappointed. However, the food was excellent as always.
Food is great but twice now used the app and food isn't ready to pick up when I get there. It seems they don't start making it until you show up to pick it up.
Very nice people and amazing food!!!!!
I love your food. Not only is it delicious when you get it, it is just as good heated up the next day.
The ad should have pics. But, the good was ready when we got there. There was only 1 fortune cookie for $44 of food.
Always get fantastic food here, very tasty rolls and dumplings. The best Lo Mein. Just terrific food!
This is the second time I have ordered cream sauce and did not get it. I even asked to make sure it had been included and was told it was, but once again... no cream sauce.


Today, I'm answering a short, sweet question sent to me on Twitter, you can find me here: @PetiquetteDog.
But if your dog is displaying an aggressive growl, protecting his food, toys or space, that is a problem. What your dog is saying is "This is mine and I'm the boss, so back off!" This type of behavior can escalate into aggression, so don't ignore it.
First of all, you want to take back the leadership role from your dog. For whatever reason, your dog has decided he's the boss in the relationship. A dog's instinct is to follow the leader or be the leader. If you haven't taken on the leadership role, he will think he needs to "step up." One of the keys to being a leader in the dog world is controlling resources. When you dog growls at you, he is asserting his ownership over resources. This is obviously backwards, he lives in your house, not the other way around. So how can you change this bad dog behavior?
1. Never let the dog onto a couch or other furniture unless it's on your terms. Have your dog perform a sit in order to earn the right to sit on your couch.
2. At meal times, have your dog perform a sit before filling his bowl. The message your dog gets: You own the food and you control who eats and when.
3. During play time, have him perform the sit to earn his favorite toy. Again, the message is that you control the resources.

Cocoa beans are the seeds from Theobroma cacao L. plant, a member of the Sterculiaceae plant family. Cocoa beans are a high-antioxidant food, since they contains a significant amount of polyphenol and flavonoid antioxidants. These beans have been around for more than 3,000 years and were prized amongst the ancient populations such as the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.
To make cocoa butter, cocoa beans are first fermented and then roasted. Now, the cocoa "butter" is separated from the rest of the Cocoa beans, leaving behind solids that are used for other purposes like making cocoa powder which is used for chocolate.
For naturally healing dry & sensitive skins.
The Cocoa butter also help to reduce stretch marks.

New Orleans Mayor Cantrell Addresses Best Approach to Storm Barry: 'We Cannot Pump Our Way Out'
(WWL) - New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell held a news conference Thursday morning to appraise citizens of the city's preparations as Tropical Storm Barry approaches Louisiana. The mayor said New Orleans is under a Tropical Storm Watch.
"There has been a shift eastward, and this means that there would be a possible Category 1 storm at landfall for the City of New Orleans," she explains. "We could see impact as early as Friday morning, with the city at the heart of the storm Saturday, is what we're being told."
The mayor noted that this will be a slow-moving storm, with potentially heavy, consistent rainfall for up to 48 hours.
"We are continuing to monitor levels of the Mississippi River river levels, and the potential of a storm surge in the river to push water levels forward."
She continues, "We did hear about a reduction of about one foot, as it relates to the river, but it still puts us at 19 feet.
The capacity there is 20 feet, but that could shift. "Mayor Cantrell said no voluntary or mandatory evacuation will be ordered by the city. Instead, she urged residents to shelter in place.
"Sheltering in place is our strategy. Citizens are urged to secure property and gather supplies," she warns.
She said the city will eliminate Friday and Saturday garbage pickup throughout the city, so citizens must not put trash cans out at curbside. "It is uncertain what the impact will be, but we will be affected and we need to be prepared...both the city and its residents."
Mayor Cantrell also notes that the city's drainage pumps are working at optimal capacity while still warning of the dangers. "But, we cannot pump our way out of the water levels and the water fall expected to hit the City of New Orleans."


@josieduke Will we have an opportunity to find out the correct answers to the quiz on Tuesday? I made an 80% and I really don't know what I got wrong. The only two I questioned were the ones about true happiness and freedom. Hopefully, I will know more tomorrow. Thanks.
There are several quizzes in this course, so which quiz are you referring to (which module)? Do you remember which questions you missed? I can take a look and see.
And of course, you can take it more than once to see where your mistakes might be.

Price Takes Rolex Kentucky Lead From Jung With Perfect Cross-Country Trip
Lisa Slade / 04/25/2015 - 10:58 AM
One second. It's the difference between Tim Price and Michael Jung at the top of the Rolex Kentucky leaderboard after cross-country. That 1 second over the optimum time is what gave Jung 0.4 time penalties with La Biosthetique Sam FBW, and it's what put him into second just behind his co-leader after dressage, Price on Wesko. Does Jung feel sad about that one second?

Have a safe and happy July 4th and Canada Day, my friends!
I think I must be the first to see this! I'm going to bed now at almost midnight in my part of the world with Van Gogh on my mind. Maybe inspiration will come to me in a dream!
In the meantime a very Happy Fourth of July to my American friends (just think you could all have been British!!) and Happy Canada Day to anyone here from that part of the world.
Happy and SAFE holidays to all - it is Monday morning here. Nice to have my chores done early!
I love this pic!!!! Thank you Tess!
Not exactly a 'tale' but an interesting observation.
It's definitely celebration time in the Americas! In Oz it's a plain old Monday!
Such a fine mess of color. Makes me feel good.
This is a re-post from last October. The sunshine and a rural landscape brings out the boy in me.
Here's my first post for Magpie Tales!Its about my dream of going back to my native land..The beautiful place where I grew up! Hope you guys enjoy this read!
Hi Tess, just posted link thanks!
Memories of childhood days for me.
Have linked a poem written earlier as it seemed so apt. this poem is special as I've attempted the ghazal (Indian poetry) form, with a meter and one line repeated every stanza. Also, the writer's name appears in the last verse.
I've sunflowers proudly framed in my hallway! Good old Vincent - he knew how to paint (and drink!). Happy 4th!
It's weird what a picture can bring out in an over-tired mind! *smile* Happy Fourth of July to those of you on the other side of the pond! Thank you!
Such a fan of Vincent. This was a treat for me!
We've just posted ours. Nothing gets us in the mood for the holiday weekend like a bit of wheat, madness, art and family.
What an amazing picture. I love Van Gogh. How to capture his work in words?
Great image to use !!!
July. Wheat harvest soon to begin. And then the planting of next year's crop of winter wheat.
I felt it deserved a rondeau. Finally got around to it. Bit late. Sorry.
thanks for the inspiration! i'm in!
i love Vincent van Gogh ~ Starry Nights is my favorite painting of all time. thank you for the fabulous prompt!
Tough!! But, fell in love with the image, so tried one too..! Great prompt...good inspiration..
Mixed memories of teenage years for me.
love this painting. i can feel the heat!
Just posted - thanks Tess.
Love Van Gogh, will read lots on the weekend, so very busy this week.
Difficult to follow van Gogh, even in another medium, but I have done my best.
Ever A muse o' mine! Vincent...his spirit is always alive!
If anything can be called inspiration, it is this!
Love the picture, my work, not so much.
I spent the 4th of July in Canada. Here's a souvenir!
I may have been first to see it but am probably last to contribute! Took me less than five minutes and it probably shows!
Thank you Tess - have done.
92 is not working - 93 is!


Adhering to is a write-up on Harrier dog.
In line with the diversity of today's pet dog breeds, scientists think that the dog was created by crossing several related species from your dog family. Among them, Charles Darwin  and the ethologist of Austria, Konrad Lorenz, had been the initiators of the theory of evolution, who figured the ancestors of the domestic doggy had been a wolf and a jackal. Today's founded opinion, supported by the outcomes of genetic analyzes, is definitely that the domestic doggy developed from the small band of wolves, domesticated about 15,000 years ago.
It isn't known exactly how the domesticated puppy was held. It's possible that canines were the people who produced the first step. Namely, if crazy dogs began to be little enough to end up being unsafe, to visit human they could collect waste materials, discarded bones and camps. Thus, people tolerated them because they were cleansing their surroundings probably. It is possible they have started to fascinate, approach them, and then domesticize them as safeguard dogs and companions. It had been only once agriculture had been progressing that the herds could possibly be preserved. Or elsewhere: the dogs adopted a smarter line in the wish to getting anything from prey.
The first remains of a domestic doggie were discovered in Mesolithic sites in various places. It seems that the earliest European breed of dog was quite small and would usually be best in comparison to today's small pet.


An identity was created for Early Childhood Coalitions Alberta to be linked to a previous program (Early Child Development Mapping Project Alberta). I did this by making use of the Alberta Corporate Primary Colour Palette. All the people in the design were coloured to best represent all community and family members by steering away from colours traditionally associated with specific genders. This logo looks professional, diverse, and vibrant.
The one page flyer and conference publication use simple elements and the vibrancy of the colour palette. It's a balance between professionalism and the ability to relate for children and their supporters.

I have utilized for a Loan Modification with my lender but it surely has taken far, FAR longer than I used to be instructed it will take and I still haven't any decisive reply apart from, ''We'll notify you by letter when we attain a call."

The Anderson Home Office Building is open to the general public Monday by Friday, eight:00 AM – 5:00 PM, excluding state and federal holidays. Nevertheless, many mortgage corporations are really arduous to work with and getting them to do a short sale is like pulling enamel.

We select San Fransisco seeing how it was only a pair hours from her grandmother's house the place we needed to drop her (and six bins of old family photos) in time for Christmas Eve and the idea of an enormous city decked out in seasonal gear was obviously appealing.


Have you ever wondered what time a particular image was captured? Google Earth does not show times, only dates. We noticed in the Google Earth Enterprise documentation that 'Acquisition date' only accepts a date and not a time. We assume that Google's equivalent software for Google Earth has the same limitation.
So, we wondered how easy it would be to tell the time based on shadows in the imagery. Google Earth has the option to show the sun, and if you are lucky, you can adjust the time until the sun lines up with a shadow. However, Google Earth does not allow you to look upwards except in the Flight Simulator, so if the sun is too high in the sky you cannot get it in the view.
Also, accurately lining it up is tricky.
Note that the time on the 'time' toolbar appears to be shown in the computer's 'local time'. So the above image was captured at about 1:15 am CAT (UTC +2) which is 11:15 pm UTC or 4:15 pm in California (where the image was captured). (We didn't check that for daylight savings time complications).
We thought it would be fun to write a tool to calculate time based on shadow angle. As a bonus, the shadow length can tell you the height of the object. We found some open source code here that was created for the 'Suncalc.net' website. The code isn't ideal as it converts time to the sun's angle above the horizon and azimuth whereas we need the reverse, so we run it for each minute of the day and find the closest match. To use it, first switch to 'historical imagery' and find an appropriate image and some shadows. Draw a path in Google Earth from the base of an object to the end of its shadow. Use only two points in the path as only the first two points are used by the code. Next, right-click on the path and select 'Snapshot View'. This stores the date from the historical imagery time bar in the path. Make sure you selected the appropriate date on the time bar first. Now save the path, or a collection of such paths, as a KML file. Upload the file below, and it should show a table listing the approximate time the image was taken in UTC and the estimated height of the object. Unfortunately, we do not know of an easy way to convert time to the correct time zone based on latitude and longitude. Using the tool below for the location in California shown above, we got 11:06 pm UTC, and a height of 14 m for the street light.
Ideally, do a number of shadows in the same image for greater accuracy. We found variations of over 10 minutes due to the difficulty of accurately marking the shadow angle.
St George Wharf, London, UK.
Image captured on 2015-10-08 at approximately 11:01 am UTC. The tallest building measured 182 m based on its shadow. Using Google Earth Pro's 3D measuring tool and 3D imagery we got 179 m. According to Wikipedia it is 181 m.
As usual, let us know in the comments if you find any bugs or have ideas for improvements.
My Google Earth became corrupted some way. I deleted it and now I can't install it again.
