Minister and community activist Rev. Kwame John R. Porter, Ph.D. was born on April 2, 1932 in Mineral Springs, Arkansas to Steve Porter and Retha Hendricks-Porter. In 1939, when Porter was eight years old, his family moved to Kansas City, Kansas. He graduated from Douglass Elementary School in Kansas City in 1945, then from Northeast Junior High School in 1948, and subsequently from Sumner High School in 1951. Porter received his Associate Arts degree from Kansas Community College in 1953. After attending Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa for one year, Porter enlisted in the U.S. Army in October 1954, and was stationed at Ft. Bliss in Texas, Ft. Smith in Arkansas, and Ft. Carson in Colorado. In 1955, Porter reported to Ulm, Germany, where he remained until receiving an honorable discharge in August 1957.
In September of 1957, Porter returned to the U.S. and enrolled at Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. He graduated in 1959 with his B.A. degree in Sociology and minors in Religion, Philosophy and Education. Following graduation, Porter was awarded a three-year fellowship grant to explore the Christian ministry at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. In February of 1960, he co-organized the local CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) chapter. Under his leadership, the chapter protested Woolworth stores in support of the Southern Student Sit-In Movement. In 1961, Porter became the first African American elected as President of the Dempster League. In 1962, he received his M.A. degree in Divinity from Garrett Seminary. Following graduation, Porter was appointed as assistant pastor under Rev. Harry Connor at the Normal Park United Methodist Church (UMC) in Englewood, and then as full-time pastor at the Christ UMC in that community.
In August 1962, Porter joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and thousands of non-violent protesters at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's (SCLC) first mass anti-segregation demonstration in Albany, Georgia. Porter was jailed for six days following the event. In August 1963, Porter attended the March on Washington; and, in 1965, he assembled eighty Chicago residents to attend the voting rights march in Selma, Alabama. In the spring of 1964, Dr. King and the SCLC leadership gave Porter permission to launch SCLC's first Chicago chapter. Porter mobilized ten thousand Englewood residents for Dr. King's "Get Out the Vote Rally" on October 29, 1964. Porter's church in Englewood served as one of the rallying points for a series of anti-segregation marches into all-white neighborhoods, when the Chicago Freedom Movement invited Dr. King and his staff to spend summer of 1966 in Chicago.
From 1968 to 1970, Porter taught as Adjunct Professor at Northeastern Illinois University's Center for Inner City Studies. In 1970, he taught an African American History course at George Williams College in Downers Grove, Illinois. From 1971 to 1974, Porter served as Dean of the Chicago Center for Black Religious Studies. He then served as Urban Vice President for Young Life International from 1974 until 1979. He also earned his Ph.D. degree in Interdisciplinary Sociology from Union Graduate School (now Union Institute & University) in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1975.
Porter is the author of six books and has received numerous honors for his commitment to social and racial justice. Porter and his wife, June, reside in Chicago's Hyde Park community and have six children, thirteen grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Porter passed away on April 7, 2019.

New Alliance Franco Director pledges support to artists
Sarjo Camara Singateh The new Executive Director of Alliance Franco Gambia, Mr. Claude Poggiolli was officially introduced to the public at a pressconference held at its office on Kairaba Avenue on Tuesday, 16 December, 2014. Mr. Poggiolli told journalists that the purpose of the briefing is to inform the Gambian public about his arrival and to disclose the plans of his office for 2015. The new director assured the general public that the quality of services being offered by Alliance will continue, adding that identifying activities that will help to face lift the organization's image and diversify the services would be a priority. He also assured their continued support in promoting all artists in the cultural field. In his introductory remark, Dr. Cherno Barry, the acting Chairperson of the Alliance Board, said the new Executive Director will be sending information to the public on the new developments at Alliance. Responding to questions, Dr. Barry revealed that the Alliance recording studio and hall have the lowest rate in terms of recording and bookings for artists. He urged Gambian artists to endeavour to record quality music in order to sell their products well. He said Alliance has the facility to offer quality recordings, adding that they do not discriminate and instead they do treat all artists equally. On the issue of funding, the acting Chairperson of the Alliance Board disclosed that if the musicians come with good project proposals they can benefit from funding. He said the artists who record at their studio or stage shows at their facility know the concessions they offer them. Dr. Barry said the MOUs they have with musicians are all valid, adding that they are not doing any production but provide services and promote artists. A member of the music promoters association suggested that Alliance should be working with associations instead of individuals and should be supporting them in terms of funding. He added that Alliance should also do more media sensitization programmes to inform artist about the quality of their recording facility. Muhammmed Jammeh of Manding Empire encouraged Alliance to continue working closely with the artists and to sign MOUs with them. Responding to some of the questions, Mr. Wole Rendall, the Cultural Officer and Studio Manager at Alliance Franco Gambia, said funding would not be a problem but that the quality of music and sounds that the musicians produce are sometimes not up to standard. He said they have engaged musicians to take part in competitions in the past but they failed. He said musicians should know what type of music they want to produce and where to record their songs. ]]>

Untitled 1989 17X46 cm. Oil on wood.
The West Chester Coffee Blog lives! You may recall that a little over a year ago Russell and Emily announced the start of the West Chester Coffee Blog...and then you never heard mention of it again. This is because shortly after we started visiting coffee shops Emily decided to make a small change in her life. At that time, she had decided to get an associate degree in dental hygiene. We visited schools and planned it all out and were just about to commit to applications and such. Then she came to the realization that she would rather go to art school and study photography. Luckily, her father went to art school and knew she was going to need a crash course in drawing if she wanted to do this. We signed up for a figure drawing session at the local art association and started visiting art programs. The bottom line is that the coffee blog quickly fell off our plate.
A lot has happened in the last year. We are happy to say, in case you didn't know, that Emily is now enrolled in Kutztown University as a freshman in the fine arts program. Also, Emily and Dad went to Europe where we were able to connect with the outer reaches of our coffee inner-selves, and a whole bunch of new coffee places have opened up in and around West Chester.
I won't go over the my relationship with coffee since you can read about in my original post here. In that post, I describe my life before good coffee (LBGC) and life after good coffee (LAGC). What I am looking for is a cup of coffee that can change your life. Going to Croatia this past summer really did help recalibrate exactly what that cup of coffee is. The immediate issue for me is how do I convey what I think a good cup of coffee is to you? I have actually thought about this a lot over the past year. This is what I have come up with.
Cafe macchiato from Cafe Festival, Dubrovnik Croatia, 10 August 2016, 8:34 AM. All is good in the world.
What you see above is a Cafe macchiato from Cafe Festival in Dubrovnik. On a scale from 1 to 10 this cup off coffee was an eleven. Cafe Festival was on a street with a whole bunch of places that served coffee in the 9 to 10 range. This place stood out not just because the coffee was perfect, but because the setting was perfect. A beautiful cafe, on a busy street, with lots of people where you could sit and do nothing but take in humanity for hours at a time. There is simply no words to describe how good this cup of coffee was.
In my post from a year ago, I mentioned how Starbucks would play into this whole thing. If I were to say on a scale of 1 to 10 how does an expresso from Starbucks compare to one from Cafe Festival I'd say it was somewhere in the 6-7 range. It's not so much that Starbucks is bad, it's more that I have a really high standard for what is truly exceptional. That said, what is great about Starbucks is that they are consistent. I have been to many Starbucks across North America. When you order an expresso from any of them, you will consistently get an expresso that is a 6-7. With that information in hand and instead of trying to rate the coffee shops around West Chester on a scale from 1 to 10, I will simply say in very general terms how it compares to Starbucks. My assumption is that most people have been to Starbucks, thus you will be able to gauge what I think it better or worse based you your experience there. Make sense? Great.
Our retooled plan, now that Emily is not here, is to go out every Saturday morning and visit a coffee shop. Rule one is that it has to be walking distance from our house (after we visit all the places that are walking distance we will reevaluate rule one). I (Russell) will get an expresso, Mary will get a drip every time and give you our opinion as best we can comparing apples to apples. William and Paddy will be color commentators for everything else. Every once in a while Emily will come home and head out with us as a guest commentator. She will almost certainly order a fancy dressed up drink that barely qualifies as coffee. We will try to convey the whole experience. We will certainly order some kind of yummy treat (William and Paddy are forcing us to do this), and we will let you know about the general ambiance of the place.
Our next post will start off with a visit to Starbucks. Preview below.
Going back to the concept of LBGC and LAGC. Emily has been raised since a very early age not to compromise when it comes to coffee. She get physically agitated if someone ask her if she wants a cup of coffee from Wawa. She is one of the lucky ones as she has always had pretty good coffee options since birth. However, until our trip to Europe this summer she had never crossed the line into the world of LAGC. I have actually captured this on film. Yikes, can we even say that any more. Let me rephrase. I have several files with a series of 1's and 0's that form an image of Emily's LBGC and LAGC.
Here she is, an eighteen year old girl, terribly jet lagged, hating the world. Before her is her first european cappuccino. Let's see what happens.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen! The results are stunning! LAGC! After the first sip the world is now a happy place. Colors are vibrant, all the sounds in the world are now like a symphony! Everyone is beautiful. Life is good!
Emily took to cafe culture like nobody's business while we were in Croatia. I think it is safe to say the hook as been deeply set and there is no going back. As it should be. Mary and I couldn't be prouder or our little girl.
Ciao for now. Remember...contemplate the cup...be the bean...and for the love of Pete don't put pumpkin spice in your coffee. That is just nasty.

Nintendo To Announce New Smash Character On Monday
Monday's are seen as the worst day of the week by the majority of the world, followed by Tuesday's, then every other day until Friday. Well it looks like Nintendo have something exciting in store to rid you of those weekend blues this coming Monday!
Today, Nintendo announced that they will be revealing a brand new playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U on Monday 14th July 2014. This will be revealed in the form of a 3 minute long video which will be streamed live [think of it as a Super Mini Direct]!
Sakurai had this to say, which also suggests there aren't that many characters left to reveal, over on Miiverse…
Oh, by the way! I'd like to reveal a new challenger. Instead of doing the unveiling on something like a Nintendo Direct, we're going to live-stream the reveal on the official website on Monday, July 14, at 7:00 AM US Pacific Time (4:00 PM European Central Time). Looks like we're nearing the bottom of the stash of new challenger videos that we've made… Like always, we put a lot of effort into it, so I hope you'll enjoy watching it live.
So, who do you think this mystery character will be?

This is a scaled claim. It will pay 1 if the UK meets the 2010 CO2 target of 474 million tonnes of CO2. According to the latest available figures the UK polluted 561 million tonnes in 2006; i.e. 87 million tonnes above target. If pollution in 2010 is above the target the claim will pay the fraction of this gap that has been closed; i.e. (561-X)/87, where is X is pollution in 2010. If pollution in 2010 exceeds 561 million tonnes the payout will be zero. The claim will be judged on the basis of the official figures that are released by DEFRA, the government department in charge of the UKs greenhouse gas accounting according to Kyoto protocol standards. Those figures are usually reported with a two year gap. This claim will not be affected by the UK government changing its target or DEFRA changing its estimate of the 1990 or 2006 pollution levels.

Q: Brushing up on python, why isn't this throwing a ValueError? I'm brushing up on my python. I've been coding in java for a year, but I'm about to take an algorithms class in Python. In preparation, I am duplicating the Lights Out puzzle game as a personal practice. I've written the first logic for the light object, and I've designed it to throw an error when I construct a Light() with a negative 0 value, but it won't throw an exception no matter what I construct the object with.
For example:
light Light(1,1) is valid, but light Light(-1,-1) should throw a ValueError. Where am I going wrong?
# Light.py represents a light object for LightsOut game.
# written by nrsmac

class Light:
    # Light.py represents a light object for LightsOut game.
    # written by nrsmac

    #Constants for Light States
    OFF = 0
    ON  = 1

    #Each light has a positive x and y position, negative 1 by defailt
    x = -1
    y = -1

    currentState = OFF

    #Constructor here
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

        if self.isValidLocation() == False:
            raise ValueError('Invalid Location!')

    def toggle(self): # TODO: Make this change color
        if self.currentState == self.ON:
            self.currentState = self.OFF
        elif self.currentState == self.OFF:
            self.currentState = self.ON

    def printCurrentLightState(self):
        print(self.currentState)

    def getX(self):
        return self.x

    def getY(self):
        return self.y

    def setLightState(self, state):
        self.currentState = state

    def isValidLocation(self):
        if self.x < 0 | self.y < 0:
            return False

Does python always have this many self calls? It's starting to get exhausting from a Java perspective.

A: I think that in your case the usage of | is not correct. You have to use or, like so:
if (self.x < 0) or (self.y < 0):

A: Basic getters/setters like that aren't a thing in Python.
Having to type self over and over again is indeed annoying. However, we also have IDEs and text editors which support autocompletion, so it shouldn't be a massive issue.

This is what I would do to make the code more pythonic:
@dataclass(init=False)
class Light:
    x: int
    y: int
    is_on: bool

    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int, is_on: bool = False) -> None:
        if x < 0 or y < 0:
            raise ValueError(f'Invalid location arguments in Light constructor: {x}, {y}')
        else:
            self.x = x
            self.y = y
            self.is_on = is_on

    def toggle(self) -> None:
        self.is_on = not self.is_on

It's a work in progress, I think it can still be improved.

Lots of rentals are written up as "within walking distance of the beach", but we have noticed that some people seem to have a rather generous definition of what walking distance is. We had some friends stay at a hotel "within walking distance of the beach", and their return walk was approximately 30 minutes uphill. The Double I is really a 2 minute walk from Playa Pelada, the smaller of the 2 beaches in the area, and a 10 minute walk from Playa Guiones, the more popular surf beach. Pelada is known as the prettiest beach in the area; it's gently textured with reefs and coves, the shores are dotted with palm trees, and you sometimes find baby turtles in the sand making their way back to the ocean.
Pelada is the quieter of the two beach towns, and you can walk from the house to most restaurants and shops. Across the (unpaved) road from the house is Pancho's market and surf shop, which has all your grocery needs, as well as a small restaurant with great shrimp tacos. There are a couple other restaurants within a 200 meter walk- the fabulous Refugio del Sol, and La Luna, which is an enjoyable place to drink a glass of wine and watch the sunset.
You can also take a 10 minute walk to Playa Guiones, where you can access the more populated town of Guiones. It is the larger of the two beaches, and forms a large cove between 2 rocky points. Between the two points is 6km of soft sand, away from which rise the low foothills of the jungle. There you will find a variety of restaurants, surf shops, a grocery store, a medical clinic, an Internet cafe, and a book/DVD store. In Guiones you can rent a car, book a surf lesson, get a massage, or catch some live music. None of the roads in the Nosara area are paved, so the pace of life remains low key even in the larger town of Guiones.
If you have decided to rent a car, you can easily access the town of Nosara, which is a traditional Costa Rican town set away from the beach. There you will find the local airport, as well as a large grocery store, hardware stores, and a great traditional restaurant called Ranco Tico. Don't be surprised if you see horses hitched to the hitching post out front. Also in the town of Nosara is La Tropicana, a fun traditional dance club open on the weekends. Also nearby by car is the Boca (Mouth) of the Rio Nosara, which is a 15 minute walk away. There you can try your hand at fishing (or just watch the locals), surf, or enjoy sunset at the fabulous Lagarta Lodge (the best view you will ever have while drinking a margarita).

Q: Send a mail from an external program through Outlook with no security warning? When I send a mail from my external program through Outlook, then I get the security warning.
I've tried bypassing it with secman and redemption, but both these tools doesn't allow the app to be "Any CPU".
I need the app to be Any CPU because it must be x64 on client and x86 in design (since designer doesn't allow inherited forms on x64).
So how would you go around Outlook security?
Should I write some kind of  TCP-listener-Outlook-Addin and then send a TCPIP from client with mail info?
Or how do you solve it?

A: Redemption comes in both 32 and 64 bit flavors.
Your code does not need to know the bitness of your application - the COM system will load the appropriate dll.
The only limitation is that the bitness of your app must match the bitness of the MAPI system/Outlook: http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/faq.htm#ErrorCreatingRedemptionObject

Recently in town to learn more about sustainable development, two leaders from the Arctic Circle warn of the challenges brought on by climate change.
Olav Mathis Eira (far left) of the Saami Council and Chief Gary Harrison of the Arctic Athabaskan Council.
Before the days of electronic detectors, canary birds were brought into coal mines to test the air quality. They acted as an early warning system as they could detect toxic gases quickly. A distressed canary was a clear sign of unsafe conditions.
Today, the indigenous people of the Arctic Circle say they are the canary birds of the world. They are the first to feel the effects of climate change, with the Arctic warming up twice as fast than anywhere else.
In 2009, 3,500 walruses were stranded on Alaska's north-west coast because of reduced ice. Scientists estimate that polar bears are likely to be extinct in 70 years when they lose their breeding and hunting grounds because of melting ice.
"We don't want to die. We want our cultures to flourish, and not be wiped out," said Chief Gary Harrison of the Arctic Athabaskan Council.
Chief Harrison and five others from the Arctic Council Permanent Participant organisations (see side box) were in Singapore recently on a study visit. For five days, they met government agencies and institutions that shared with them Singapore's experience in environmental protection, sustainable development, education and community-building. They also visited the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, an internationally recognised site for migratory birds.
Chief Harrison and Mr Olav Mathis Eira of the Saami Council (representing the Saami indigenous people) were impressed by Singapore's focus on sustainability and planning for the future, they told Challenge. Mr Eira said that the government seems unafraid to impose environmental standards on industries and that private companies are well aware of them. Also, he observed that instead of seeing environmental concerns as barriers, businesses here see them as opportunities.
Chief Harrison, who leads the Chickaloon tribe in Alaska, said the extraction of oil, coal, copper, gas and other resources in his village has led to heavy pollution, threatening animal and plant species. Natural resources are being exploited too quickly, without long-term planning. As a result, the tribe's traditional way of living off the land – foraging and hunting – has been affected.
"We should look seven generations ahead, but they look at the now," he said.
Fearful of further pollution, his people are fighting plans for a new coal mine in Chickaloon. After spending US$1.2 million to rehabilitate their waters that had been badly polluted by previous coal mining activities, salmon is finally breeding well again in their area. But a new coal mine could halt the recovery.
Agreeing, Mr Eira, an ethnic Saami who lives in the northernmost part of Norway, said his people are also feeling the ill effects of climate change and rapid development.
Mr Eira is a reindeer herder who inherited the ancestral occupation from his father. For the Saami people, reindeers are a source of food, clothing and trade.
Mr Eira hopes his three sons will take over his reindeers and continue the Saami culture. But climate change is a big threat.
Warmer temperatures mean there are now rains in the winter. The rain causes traditional winter herding routes over lakes and rivers to become dangerous – the normally frozen ice becomes unstable. Two of his nephews have fallen through ice before.
"Winter is crucial to the reindeers," Mr Eira said. "When it rains in the winter, they can starve." The ice that forms after a rain covers up the reindeers' only source of food during winter – lichens. To cope, Saami herders now feed the reindeers with expensive food pellets.
I don't want to revolt, but I want to change a revolting situation.
Ironically, the Saami people are also affected by climate change mitigation programmes, pointed out Mr Eira. For instance, the Scandinavian countries are now installing giant windmills to generate clean energy. But the windmill farms have encroached on traditional reindeer grazing lands, impacting the reindeers' hunt for food yet again.
The indigenous people know they have to innovate and adapt if they are to survive climate change and rapid development.
For instance, the Athabaskans of Chickaloon Village set up Alaska's only tribally owned full-time school to teach and preserve the Athabaskan culture. Their salmon rehabilitation project, called the Moose Creek Restoration Project, has been recognised for habitat conservation.
Reflecting on his study visit, Mr Eira said he was impressed by Singapore's unique situation of having no natural resources, and yet being able to thrive and "find new ways to be sustainable".
Chief Harrison hoped that more countries, even those that are still resource-rich, would think this way before it is too late.
For that to happen, the world would have to take its canary birds' distress signal more seriously.
"The world is a living thing and we're all co-dependent. You people down here (in the south) are all co-dependent on us up there (in the north)," he said.

Beatport Exclusive: LCY Merges Mythology and Breaks with "Teeth"
April 8, 2021 | Words : Cameron Holbrook
Words: Cameron Holbrook
The SZNS7N label boss shares the third single off their forthcoming six-track EP Pulling Teeth — set to drop on April 22nd.
London-based producer, DJ, and visual artist LCY (FKA L U C Y) is gearing up to release their much-anticipated Pulling Teeth EP on the artist's cutting-edge club music label, SZNS7N.
The conceptual six-track EP is LCY's "first completely non-fiction project and experience with world-building" that's been two years in the making.
Inspired by their intensive research and understanding of Celtic folklore, the record's narrative centers around the artist's personal and dystopian depiction of Ériu — the mythical matron goddess of Ireland. The EP has a whole personifies LCY's interpretation of the ancient goddess's lore, with each track separately grappling with the themes of creation, worship, abuse, trauma, consciousness, and ultimate decay.
"The story follows a post-human, post-human friendly AI landscape where the robots known as 'the organism' build a robot with a human brain (and accidentally a canine mouth) to in part worship and in part experiment on," says LCY about the project. "The story expands throughout the project, and everything down to the tiniest of frequencies has been built with the intention of immersing the listener."
First introducing the character with an accompanying music video for the single "Garden of 10," and further embedding us into Ériu's story with the track "Shhh," LCY's third offering "Teeth" — available now as a Beatport exclusive — is the forthcoming EP's lead track. Kicking things off with a haunting string arrangement, the track eases into a future-industrial breaks territory before launching into an alien-like acid assault. Check it out below.
The far-out world that LCY has built around Pulling Teeth will also come in the form of a seven-image graphic novel that will be revealed chapter by chapter over the coming weeks.
LCY's 'Pulling Teeth' EP is out via SZNS7N on April 22nd. Purchase on Beatport.

Ó Fíodhabhra - Irish Names and Surnames
Rev Patrick Woulfe
Irish Names and Surnames
Ó FÍODHABHRA—I—O Fiorie, O Fuery, O Fury, Fury, Furey, (?) Fleury; 'descendant of Fíodhabhra' (bushy-eyebrows, from fíodh, a wood, and fabhra, an eyebrow); also Ó Fíodhabhair, which see; the name of an old Westmeath family who, not improbably, are a branch of the O'Melaghlens. Two of them were bishops, or abbots, of Clonmacnoise in the latter part of the 12th century; and in the next century, Donat O Fiodhabhra, after filling the see of Clogher for nine years, was translated to the primatial see of Armagh. He died in England in 1237, as he was returning from Rome, "with great honour and spiritual glory from the Pope." Before the end of the 16th century the name had spread into Roscommon, Sligo and Cork. It is now most frequently met with in Co. Galway. In Munster the present form is Ó Fíodhabhair, anglicised Feore.

Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger (also on Kindle) is an American widow's account of her travels in Ireland in 1844–45 on the eve of the Great Famine. Sailing from New York, she set out to determine the condition of the Irish poor and discover why so many were emigrating to her home country. Mrs Nicholson's recollections of her tour among the peasantry are still revealing and gripping today. The author returned to Ireland in 1847–49 to help with famine relief and recorded those experiences in the rather harrowing Annals of the Famine in Ireland (Kindle version here).

Annals of the Famine in Ireland is Asenath Nicholson's sequel to Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger. The undaunted American widow returned to Ireland in the midst of the Great Famine and helped organise relief for the destitute and hungry. Her account is not a history of the famine, but personal eyewitness testimony to the suffering it caused. For that reason, it conveys the reality of the calamity in a much more telling way. The book is also available in Kindle.
The Ocean Plague: or, A Voyage to Quebec in an Irish Emigrant Vessel is based upon the diary of Robert Whyte who, in 1847, crossed the Atlantic from Dublin to Quebec in an Irish emigrant ship. His account of the journey provides invaluable eyewitness testimony to the trauma and tragedy that many emigrants had to face en route to their new lives in Canada and America. The book is also available in Kindle.
The Scotch-Irish in America tells the story of how the hardy breed of men and women, who in America came to be known as the 'Scotch-Irish', was forged in the north of Ireland during the seventeenth century. It relates the circumstances under which the great exodus to the New World began, the trials and tribulations faced by these tough American pioneers and the enduring influence they came to exert on the politics, education and religion of the country.

This hill with its medieval domed structure 20 kilometers north of Jerusalem probably is Bethel, traditional site of Jacob's dream. When Israel split into two nations after Solomon's death, King Jeroboam of the North built a golden calf temple here so Northerners would not go to Jerusalem to worship Yahweh.
For my own spiritual prospects, I take comfort from the fact that divine revelation reached even a scoundrel like Jacob. He had cheated his brother Esau, and now was fleeing for his life to distant Padan Aram. Northbound on the ridge route later called Way of the Patriarchs, Jacob stopped for the night at Luz (which he renamed Bethel or "house of God").
Similar promises came to his forebears Abraham and Isaac, and in all three cases there also was a moral caveat: "In you all nations will be blessed." All nations, even today's Palestinians and neighboring Arab countries. Isaiah echoed the same universal theme in describing God's intent for the eschatological future of Jerusalem: "All nations shall stream to it. . . they shall beat their swords into plowshares" (Isaiah 2).
How could anyone argue historically or biblically that Jerusalem is not the capital of the Jewish people? But how could anyone miss the caveat, the call for justice that pervades the Torah and Prophets? Israel is to conduct itself honorably among the nations, but sometimes treats Palestinians with contempt and coercion today. They too are children of Abraham, and legitimately claim Jerusalem as their capital.
An Indigenous Peoples History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (Beacon, 2015) shows how my own European forebears did not behave honorably with similar competing claims to territorial sovereignty. Anyone who thinks that scalping was something that nasty indigenous people did to European settlers should know that such brutality often was the reverse. The United States government paid a bounty for scalps to encourage the massacre of Indians.
That history gives me, a U.S. American, pause if I critique Israel's conduct in the West Bank or critique Israel's apparent attempt at exclusive control of Jerusalem. But I reject the biblical rationalization and Manifest Destiny arguments that some of my forebears used to run American Indians off their land. I protest today if Israel does the same in the West Bank, and if Palestinians or other nations want to destroy Israel.
I have been blessed by the Jewish people, and gladly travel with groups to Israel. In the words of Paul, "to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah" (Romans 9). My spiritual journey as a Gentile Christian is inextricably linked to theirs, and I am grateful. I support Israel. I also support Palestinians–Christian, Muslim, or secular–whose claims to Jerusalem and stewardship of the land run deep.


I converted two of the Posse to avoid duplicates. I find that for units with large weapons, changing the angle of the weapon is enough to change the profile of the model. Here's the first Gator with his arm closer to his body.
For the second Gator I wanted to try something similar to my earlier Spawning Vessel Acolyte conversion. I cut the arm off and extended the weapon haft, rotating the angle so that the weapon rested on the base. I needed something to go into his other hand but I didn't want to do another weapon. So I went through my bits box and found the leftover Incubi body I had from my last conversion. His face was suitably tortured in appearance, so I cut off the head and pinned it to the Gator's fist. I rotated the arm and resculpted the elbow, then I added hair coming from the fist and over the top. I'm quite happy with how he looks.
I ruined the ear while sawing the head off, so I had to give him a new one. All better! I decided to paint it up in the same colours as my Nyss, as a reminder to their employers that the Gators are not to be trifled with.
And here they are painted up. I wanted to make them look grubbier than my Legion, so I drybrushed and washed the scales and stippled their weapons. I used the same colours as my Legion beasts but in a different way. They should hopefully tie into my army, while still looking separate from it.
They have so many feathers, teeth and other goodies adorning them. I took the opportunity to add a bright, contrasting spot colour to the unit.
I'm quite happy with how their eyes turned out.
I like playing with the Gatormen so much that I eventually got a second set. I'm not sure whether I prefer the new or older sculpts.

Walk to the HITS Radio Remixes
by Leslie Sansone
Anchor Bay, 2013
Review by Beth T. Cholette, Ph.D. on Nov 12th 2013
This latest release from Leslie Sansone, queen of the "Walk at Home" fitness genre, is a bit different. First, it is a three mile walk set to modern radio hits, with the music alternating between vocal and instrumental only. In addition, the DVD cover notes that this walk features HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training, a popular current fitness trend. Unfortunately, Sansone's version of "HIIT" doesn't conform to the usual norms for this style (more on this below).
As always, Sansone instructs live in front of a large class (I counted twelve, although it was difficult because all participants could not fit onscreen at once). The group is in a large studio that has walls decorated with musical notes and bright shades of yellow, orange, and pink.
On the Main Menu of the DVD, there is the choice to play the full Radio Remixes or to play Miles 1-3 individually; also, each of these selections has a "Play with Music Only" option. I have provided additional details below.
WARM-UP (3 minutes)
The warm-up can be accessed by choosing the "Play All" option only. As is typical for her warm-ups, Sansone introduces her four basic steps: the walk (march), side step, kicks, and knees.
MILE 1 (13 minutes)
The first mile starts appropriately with the tune "Get This Party Started" by Pink (the same song is repeated at the beginning of Mile 3). Sansone begins at a fast pace, adding many variations on her usual walk steps, including grapevines, bounces, and shifts. Oddly, however, prior to starting the "HIIT," she actually spends about two minutes slowing down the heart rate by walking at a more relaxed tempo. The "HIIT" sequences themselves last about 20 seconds. They are very repetitive, as they consist of the exact same moves (high jogs, bounces, and twists) set to the exact same song ("Everybody Talks" by Neon Trees).
The second mile is very similar to the first. As with Mile 1, there are about two "HIIT" intervals; preceding each interval, the walking moves are performed at a slower pace. After completing the HIIT segments, however, Sansone again bumps up the speed. This section includes the song "I Like to Move It, Move It" (Will.I.Am).
In some ways, the final mile was the most confusing. Sansone says she is going to "sneak in" some additional HIIT, but rather than perform another 20-second interval, instead, she does a longer, more moderate intensity sequence. For the second half of this mile, the music has a bit of a Latin flavor to it, and by the time the clock hits the 40-minute mark, Sansone states that the cool-down walk has begun.
STRETCH (3 minutes)
For this brief stretch (included only as part of the full walk), Sansone targets the back, shoulders, calves, and hamstrings.
As noted above, the "HIIT" that Sansone includes in this walk is definitely NOT true High Intensity Interval Training, which is generally defined as working at near maximum intensity for a short period--usually about 20 seconds, which Sansone does do here--followed by a brief recovery (a 2:1 rest-to-work ratio is probably the most common). So, anyone purchasing this DVD because it advertises "HIIT" on the cover is likely to be extremely disappointed.
On the other hand, it is undeniable that the background exercisers are having a great deal of fun with this routine. As the workout continues, Sansone more frequently walks among them, obviously enjoying herself. For long-time fans of Sansone's DVDs, Radio Remixes could possibly be a very agreeable change of pace.

;The thin CuO flm is acquired by a quick dip of copper in H2O2 solutions at room temperature. The CuO filmq appears smooth and exhibits superhydrophilic nature. The composition change cannot be verifed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy but can be manifested by the water contact angle. In the ambient condition, the thickness of the oxidized layer and the surface hydrophobicity grow gradually, while the chemical composition of the overall oxidized film remains essentially unchanged. That is, in the vacuum, the growth rate of the hydrophobicity is significantly elevated, revealing deoxidation on the upmost surface. Our results indicate that growing hydrophobicity on the CuO film is spontaneous and the reversible wettability transition can be observed by H2O2 oxidation and vacuum deoxidation.
The wet cleaning process in semiconductor fabrication often involves the immersion of the copper wafer into etching solutions and thereby its surface properties are significantly altered. The wetting behavior of a copper film deposited on silicon wafer is investigated after a short dip in various etching solutions. The etchants include glacial acetic acid and dilute solutions of nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide. A thin oxide layer always remains on the surface of as-received Cu wafers when they are subject to etching treatments. A pure Cu wafer can be obtained by the glacial acetic acid treatment and its water contact angle (CA) is about 45. As the pure Cu wafer is placed in the ambient condition, the oxide thickness grows rapidly to the range of 10 to 20 Å within 3 hours and the CA on the hydrophilic surface also rises. In the vacuum, it is surprising to find that the CA and surface roughness of the pure Cu wafer can grows significantly. These interesting results may be attributed to the rearrangement of surface Cu atoms to reduce the surface free energy.

Q: Tunring an array of probabilities, into a binary array I am trying to convert a NumPy array of probabilities that sum up to 1.0, into a binary array. Essentially, I want to turn the max probability in the array into 1, and the rest into 0s. Of course, I know how to do this using Python, but I was hoping that NumPy or SciPy already come up with a built-in function for making the operation more performant (we are speaking about a matrix containing millions of such arrays).

A: Compare items with the maximum value, and cast to int
>>> a=np.array([0.435,0.24,0.241,0.13,0.56])

>>> np.int8( a == a.max() )

Гильом Гуффье, сеньор де Бонниве и Буаси (; ок.  — ) — французский вельможа и военный из рода Гуфье, особо приближенный к королю Франциску I, адмирал Франции (1515 год), основатель Гавра (1517), командующий французскими армиями в Итальянских кампаниях 1523—1525 годов. Двоюродный брат Анна де Монморанси.

Биография
Гуффье воспитывался вместе с будущим королём и в юном возрасте отличился при осаде Генуи.

Поначалу выполнял конфиденциальные дипломатические поручения короля. В частности, ездил в Англию для подкупа кардинала Уолси. В 1519 году неудачно агитировал за избрание Франциска императором Священной Римской империи. Как фаворит Луизы Савойской он убедил мать короля в необходимости опалы коннетабля Бурбона и фактически добился его изгнания из пределов Франции.

После смерти в 1523 году маршала Лотрека сменил его во главе итальянской армии, но был вытеснен из Италии (потеряв среди прочих и неустрашимого Баярда).

В 1525 году, по сведениям Брантома, именно он ввязал короля в битву при Павии и, предчувствуя катастрофу, бросился в гущу боя, снискав таким образом смерть героя.

Среди его многочисленных пассий Брантом называет графиню де Шатобриан и Маргариту Наваррскую (см. 4-ю новеллу «Гептамерона»).

Were the V6 Turbo-hybrids a mistake?
They were brought in for some specific reasons, but in hindsight, was it the right call?
Duncan L posted in Home Of F1
Now, before you dismiss this article as a V8-fanboy lusting for the return of a good engine soundtrack, hear me out, because my arguments, in this case, are regarding the wellbeing of Formula One as a sport, rather than my opinions. Below is the piece.
******************************************
When Formula One adopted the turbo-hybrid engines in the 2014 season, their intentions were clear: get new manufacturer's into the sport, and bring F1 into the 2010's. There was plenty of outcry when the decision was made, as some fans supported the switch, while unsurprisingly, others did not. However, with the benefit of hindsight, and six years with the turbo-hybrid engines, who was on the right side of that debate?
To answer this we must first look at what the turbo-hybrid power units have achieved relative to the goals that were set for them in 2014. The first of which was getting new engine manufacturers into F1- a goal which they have yet to achieve.
Mclaren-Honda 2016 F1 car
As of 2020, Honda remains the only new manufacturer to enter the sport- something they only did because Mclaren came knocking. Add to this that Honda were already present in the non-hybrid Indycar series, and it's hard to imagine that the V6 hybrids were the reasoning for their return. In fact, the power units -in all their complexity- have driven away smaller brands due to the ludicrous cost of development.
As for the second goal of bringing Formula One into the 2010's, it's hard to argue that this was failed. However, F1's progressive-o-meter still has a low reading, as the sport's 'futuristic' propulsion systems were quickly outdone by series' like Formula E, and even the WEC, who use all-electric powertrains, and four-cylinder hybrids.
I don't hate the V6's. In fact, when I went to the Canadian Grand Prix last year, I was blown away by the sound such mundane-seeming engines could make. However, it'd take an idiot to say that the V8's didn't sound better, and in the case of the turbo-hybrids, I'm going to have to say that the cons outweigh the pros.

The engines are still absolutely epic. But not as epic as the 18000 rpm screamers a few decades back.
Saurabh Thakur
Formula1 has always been my favorite sport. That being said, I've always wondered why F1 and WEC P1 couldnt have the same engine formulas especially when F1 was moving towards hybrids. Keep the aerodynamics completely different but converge on the engines. This would being in more engine manufacturers and also help privateer teams to enter F1 at a relatively low cost.
Gary Valente
Ok I understand F1's intentions but why the hell did they have to MANDATE V6 configuration? Why couldn't we have inline 4 or V8? The diversity would have been very interesting.
Adam Gensamer
The series is based off of a formula that they use to create the cars each team makes. It's likebaking a cake. You use a recipe to create it but they allow some leeway in interpreting the formula until they see a team's interpretation is causing...
Archie Wingate
Yes. It was. Of course the 2000s screaming engine was the best, but what would have been really interesting was to give the teams the choice between V8s and V6s like yesteryears.
Martyn Camper
"As for the second goal of bringing Formula One into the 2010's, it's hard to argue that this was failed." This part is clunky language, that says bringing F1 into the 2010s was a succcess, which is not the case the article indicates it is trying to establish. The conclusion that the case is won on more pros than Cons also was not proved as few pros were mentioned.
Dionysis Nanos
People coming in the comment section after not understanding what they read truly is spectacular. If you had spent more time actually reading the article and not thinking what kind of words you would use in the comments, you would have...

Best Free Sites in Los Angeles
La Plaza - La Plaza de Cultura y Artes
Focusing on the Mexican American experience in Southern California and the greater Los Angeles area, this cultural center celebrates the influence of the culture and its people. La Plaza de Cultura y Artes is located near the site where Los Angeles was founded in 1781 on a sprawling 2.2 acre campus. The center is home to two historic buildings, and a lush public garden. Take a peek at rotating exhibits, partake in an educational program or attend one of their many on-going events.
Avila Adobe
This adobe structure, built by Don Francisco Avila, is considered the oldest existing house in Los Angeles. By modern standards the home is quite small, though at the time it was the largest in the area. Although it has been heavily restored, much of the original structure survives today. It now functions as a museum with the interior having been refurbished to include a four-post bed and other typical furnishings from the era.
Olvera Street
Years ago, one of the summer rituals for L.A. children was a new pair of huaraches from Olvera Street and maybe some Mexican jumping beans. Nowadays those rituals are a year-round treat on this cobblestone street, which is a block-long cornucopia of traditional Mexican clothing, artwork, gifts, leather goods, novelties and restaurants. There is also a Visitors Center where tourists can appreciate the complimentary screening of a film which depicts early life in Los Angeles. Olvera Street was created in the 1930s and comprises the area known as the El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historic Monument, which is the site of the city's beginnings. Free tours are given to the public by the Las Angelinas, a non-profit organization.
Built-in Art Deco style, this observatory was built in the early 1930s and is a highlight among the landmarks in Southern California. See incredible light shows at the Oschin Planetarium, which puts to use the latest technology. Outside the observatory, you'll find sweeping views of the nearby area that are breathtaking during the day and at night as well. Exhibits and planetarium shows will fascinate visitors. Some visitors might recognize the observatory as the site where the climax of Rebel Without a Cause was filmed. On clear nights take advantage of the free public telescopes to see the stars up close.
The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a star-studded attraction that immortalizes deserving performers of every stripe; a constellation of famous personalities laid-out along the sidewalk. The Walk of Fame is very much a tribute to Johnny Grant, the former mayor of Hollywood and a relentless promoter of Tinsel Town. Encompassing a stretch of the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard, near the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, more than 2600 brass-inlaid, terrazzo stars honour some of the most famous personalities of the entertainment industry, including movie stars, radio-show hosts, recording artists, film directors, TV personalities and stage actors. New stars are added frequently, an event that is accompanied with much pomp and show, creating an ever-evolving chronicle of Hollywood's vibrant legacy.
Spread over 4,210 acres (1704 hectares) of the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains, Griffith Park is often referred to as "the Central Park of Los Angeles," although its verdant sprawl surpasses its east-coast counterpart in both size and wild charm. The municipal park is one of North America's largest urban green spaces, splayed across an undulating landscape sheathed in oak and walnut woodlands, coastal sage scrub, landscaped parklands, and deep, luxuriant gorges. There's ample opportunity for outdoor activities like hiking, horseback riding and tennis, alongside popular attractions like the Griffith Observatory, the Los Angeles Zoo, the Greek Theater, and the iconic Hollywood Sign. At the confluence of landscaped greenery and rugged wilderness, Griffith Park in Los Angeles' most treasured recreational venues and scenic escapes.
What started out as a random collection of vintage street lamps turned into an iconic landmark within a decade. Chris Burden is the creative brainchild behind the unique installation that graces the premises of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. It is an assemblage of over 200 street lights dating back to the 1920s that were sources of light to neighborhoods across Southern California. Linearly aligned and refurbished to maintain uniformity, the cast iron beams boast intricate geometric patterns at their base and are topped with solar powered luminary globes.
Runyon Canyon Park
160 acres (65 hectares) of unspoiled nature can be seen at the east point of the Santa Monica mountains at the Runyon Canyon Park. This pet friendly park has two southern entrances and a northern entrance at Mulholland Drive. Go for a hike or head to the play area where your kids can play. Keep your camera ready as celebrities are known to unwind here as well.
Venice Beach Boardwalk
Venice is know for its beach, the glorious stretch of pristine white sands, the warm sunshine and the palm trees making for the perfect postcard. You need not step onto the beach in order to experience the vibrant culture of Venice, just walk along the bustling boardwalk and you will see the local scene unfold before you. Watch the street performers mesmerize spectators with their talents, buy something very unique from any of the shops that line the Boardwalk, or catch the attraction that is the Muscle Beach, where Arnold Schwarzenegger-worshipers pump iron and strive to look as big and muscular as possible.
Santa Monica's most prized possession, this Southern Californian waterfront state park is the closest landmark to the iconic Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. Equipped with modern amenities such as volleyball courts, serene picnic spots and scenic swimming zones, this golden-sand landscape houses something that sets it apart from everything else in the vicinity: Muscle Beach, the mecca for bodybuilding exhibitions and gymnastic presentations. A sunbather's heaven, the beach also seems to be a magnet for themed special events like the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, which transforms the place into a dynamo of energy, music and vivid colors. The Santa Monica Ferris Wheel is by far the state park's most noticeable attraction.

What's more important than teaching any one thing in specific, though, is that the whole concept that biologists can avoid math or computing in their training (be it stats, modeling, simulation, programming, data science/data analysis, or whatever) needs to die. That is over. Dead, done, over.
