We started as a church plant with a vision to see New life in Christ for our whole community. By God's grace, we're seeing the seeds of the gospel growing into new life in our church and community (like the person who said, I've now come to have a relationship with a God I didn't know existed). Now we want to break new ground, as we grow some fledgling ministries and try to keep up with all the gospel opportunities before us.

What are the characteristics of effective teachers?

Violinist Eleanor Bartsch was performing at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin, when she decided to warm up for her performance of Bach's "Concerto for Two Violins" next to two friendly elephants. She was amazed when 44-year-old Kelly and 45-year-old Viola started swaying along to her music. The two proved that even some animals really do have an ear for music!
Those two clearly have impeccable taste. Bach's famous "Concerto for Two Violins" is considered to be one of the best Baroque classical pieces. I suppose it's also the most elephant-friendly music, too!

*JSF 2.2

UPDATE :
After so much research I found the problem.
My project structure is like this  :
 parentProject
 |
 |---childProject

Where   parentProject is an EAR project and childProject is a web project.
When I add JARs,

*

*rewrite-servlet-2.0.12.Final.jar

*rewrite-config-prettyfaces-2.0.12.Final.jar

to childProject/Web-INf/lib, it works fine.
But the requirement is to add jars to parentProject/EarContent/lib , when I am adding jars to this location prettyfaces mapping is not working .
I could not find any solution.

A: You are mixing PrettyFaces and Rewrite in incompatible version. You should use the following dependencies:
rewrite-servlet-2.0.12.Final.jar
rewrite-config-prettyfaces-2.0.12.Final.jar
rewrite-integration-faces-2.0.12.Final.jar

That should work fine. :)

Luke Arnold/Orbit (Licensed)
After gaining a cult following as Long John Silver, he's turning his attention to writing.
Black Sails star Luke Arnold is set to publish a series of urban fantasy novels, we can exclusively announce today.
Known for his role as Long John Silver, Arnold shifted focus to writing after Black Sails ended last year. His debut novel, The Last Smile in Sunder City, is set to be published by Orbit Books. Appealing to fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels and Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series, it's the first in a series of fantasy detective books.
The Last Smile kicks off in the aftermath of a war between humans and magical creatures, which caused magic to vanish from the world. The main character, Fetch Phillips, is a private detective working in Sunder City, trying to find redemption after his own role in the war. A fantasy riff on a classic noir concept. Here's what Arnold had to say about the first book:
"I've been kicking Fetch around the streets of Sunder City for the last few years and I can't wait to bring others along for the ride. The Last Smile mixes up my love of fantasy and film noir with my first-hand knowledge of cheap whiskey and stupid mistakes. I've been a pirate, rock star, cowboy and cop, but I was always waiting to be a writer."
He says the The Last Smile is about "Fetch Phillips finding lost kids, fighting thugs and getting his head kicked in every few hours. But, it's also about moving forward and how hard it is look on the bright side when you're the one that turned out the lights."
Orbit's senior commissioning editor Jenni Hill writes, "I can't wait to share Luke's debut with the world – his protagonist has a voice that simply draws you in and doesn't let go."
Since Black Sails ended in 2017, Luke Arnold has appeared in a number of TV shows including Salvation and the Australian paranormal drama Glitch, and he's currently gearing up to direct an original short film called Gutterpunks. Orbit holds the worldwide publishing rights to the first two books in his Sunder City series, with the potential for more to arrive in future.

We are running SAP LE WM module for warehouse activities. There are certain items stored in the Damaged Storage type. When a new sales order is placed the ATP see the item as available for picking and delivery is created for the item. In reality it is a damaged item and should not be picked.
Does any one know a way to block the storage type (or storage bin) in such a way that the ATP does not check for blocked the storage type (or storage bin)?
blocks can either put at the Bin level or at the Storage type level.
I am also very interestested in this topic, as we have a warehouse location specifically for products returned from customers which have to be reprocessed.
I wonder if by blocking this items they won´t be available to be "consumed" in a given reprocess process order.
Also, I tried changinf the parameters using the OMIR transaction, but the returns location's stocks keeps showing up in the MD04 output. I read that by changing the setting using OMIR the stock would not be counted towars the MRP, but It that's still happening, messing up with my planning.
I would really like to see how I could make an entire warehouse storage type as not available for sale, so I hope someone could shed some light upon us.


Warner Bros. has announced official release dates for three rather different titles that'll hit theaters next year: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's latest collaborative effort, Dark Shadows; a sequel to the surprisingly popular Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D movie, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island; and Rivals, a political comedy that will pit Will Ferrell against Zach Galifianakis.
Production is currently getting underway on Burton's star-studded Dark Shadows, an adaptation of the cult 1960s supernatural TV soap opera that heavily influenced the artistic sensibilities of both the Gothic autuer and his favorite leading man (Depp).
Dark Shadows is slated to hit theaters on May 11th, 2012 - almost three months before Burton's feature-length, stop-motion version of Frankenweenie is scheduled for release. This won't be the first time two Burton pics (one live-action, one animated) have made their way to theaters in the same year; he managed it once before in 2005, when Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was released just a few months before Corpse Bride.
Journey to the Center of the Earth 2 will actually hit theaters before Dark Shadows, on January 27th of next year. While that sequel will be headlined by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and costar the likes of Josh Hutcherson (Peeta in next year's Hunger Games movie), Michael Caine, and High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens, the January release date suggests that Warner Bros. isn't exactly confident about the film's ability to hold its own against other effects-driven adventure titles.
Rivals will round out Warner Bros.' Summer 2012 release slate (which also includes The Dark Knight Rises) and hit theaters next year on August 10th - opening against the likes of G.I. Joe 2. Chances are good, though, that there won't be a lot of overlap between the G.I. Joe sequel and a laughfest that stars two popular (and hairy) comedians as politicians aiming to sabotage the other's efforts to become president.
So, to summarize: Those who are in the mood for a fantastical family-friendly adventure flick ought to take a look at Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (the title's pun is presumably intentional) next year on January 27th.
Tim Burton/Johnny Depp fans can check out Dark Shadows when it hits theaters on May 11th, 2012.
Comedy fans - or those who can never get enough of Will Ferrell and/or Zach Galifianakis - should keep their eyes open next summer for Rivals when it arrives in theaters on August 10th.


Anthony Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has declared that Luis Ortiz is their first choice replacement opponent for June 1 in New York.
Dillian Whyte has also thrown his hat into the ring, a move Hearn '100 per cent' welcomed, although he doubts Whyte will be ready in time.
A stand-in is needed due to the fact original opponent Jarrell Miller failed a drugs test for GW1516 (a metabolic modulator also known as cardarine and endurobol), throwing the bout into serious doubt.
As a result, Joshua's team are now looking for possible alternatives, with Hearn giving a rundown of the top contenders to iFL TV.

Urban Meyer on new Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin.
Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer in 2009. Via SI.com.
What does Ohio State head coachUrban Meyer think about the Alabama hiring Lane Kiffin as its offensive coordinator? Meyer, in his former role as head coach of Florida, was the subject of unfounded accusations of recruiting violations by Kiffin during the latter's one year as head coach of Tennessee.
"I think it's great. I have a lot of respect for Coach Saban. There has been a lot of publicity about Lane Kiffin and I having issues. There's none. We've talked many times since. He's obviously a good football coach, and I wish him well. I think it was a great hire for Alabama."
Kiffin left Tennessee after one season to become head coach of USC. He was fired from that job after going 3-2 in the first five games of the 2013 season.

Having come a long way since it was first created by Hawaiian surfers in the 1940s, Stand Up Paddleboarding, (or SUP for short) is one of the fastest-growing watersports in the world right now!
The sport has exploded in recent years, evolving into several very different variations of the sport.
Looking to learn more about Stand-Up Paddleboarding? Check out all our articles Here
People have been propelling themselves across the water with paddles and poles for thousands of years, records have been found as far back as 3000BC documenting this practice in Asia, the Americas and Europe. However, it wasn't until the 1940s where the current iteration of the sport we see today started to appear.
A lifelong Hawaiian surfer, John "Pops" AhChoy developed age-related knee problems which was making getting up onto his board difficult. Not to be deterred he switched to standing up on his board and paddling out using a canoe oar to catch the waves. His Sons, Bobby and Leroy and their friend, the surfing legend, Duke Kahanamoku were making a living teaching surfing and running guided outrigger canoe tours for tourists. They soon realised that standing up on their boards gave them a much better vantage point to keep an eye on the novice students.
After a car accident that left Bobby unable to paddle prone or kneeling, he took the novelty skill he had been using for his business and it became his exclusive way of catching waves, thus creating the recreational sport of SUP Surfing we know today.
Throughout the rest of the 20th century stand up paddle boarding largely remained a niche in surfing and was practised by only the most diehard fans. It got its first big publicity boost in 2003 during the "Buffalo Big Board" contest and was captured by the surf media and its popularity began to skyrocket.
Since then SUP has developed into a diverse sport with many different branches, such as SUP Yoga, Touring, Racing and more.
Why Is Stand Up Paddleboarding So Popular?
The growth of Stand Up Paddleboarding in the last few years has been nothing short of incredible! And it's now the worlds fastest-growing watersport, with an estimated 20% year on year growth in uptake of the sport. However, this massive explosion of popularity is not difficult to explain.
It's Fun! – Paddle boarding is quite simply an enjoyable activity. Whether you are SUP-ing solo or with a friend, just being outdoors on the water and in the fresh air releases endorphins such as serotonin and dopamine. It's these neurotransmitters that make you feel happy. People literally get hooked on this "runners high" after a session on the board.
It's Incredible Exercise – Just balancing on a SUP engages your core and leg muscles. Going for a paddle is a complete full body work out, including shoulder, back, arm, and core abdominal muscles. Nevermind the boost it gives to your cardiovascular system. There is a reason that Pro paddlers are so shredded!
It's Surprisingly Accessible – You don't need to live on a tropical island to go boarding and don't listen to the social media "Influencers" that say you do. These days people are getting out on lakes, rivers, reservoirs and canals. If there is a body of water, chances are someone has SUP'd it. With advances in manufacturing techniques, good quality inflatable SUPs are available from around $500, so its never been cheaper. Want to know more about the price of SUPs?

Types of Paddleboarding
The sport of SUP surfing hasn't deviated much from its modern roots in Hawaii and still has all the same key ingredients. A longer surfboard, a paddle and some surf!
However, gone are the days of wooden paddles and boards. Modern materials like carbon fibre, nylon and epoxy have made boards and paddles stiffer and stronger than ever.
SUP boards for surfing are slightly smaller than flatwater boards, usually 9 feet or less in length and often narrower in the tail to allow for more responsive turns.
Many all-around boards will surf perfectly well, just with less manoeuvrability in the surf.
Flatwater Paddling – Cruising and Touring
Surfers soon realised that they didn't need to miss a day out on the water just because the sea was flat. Since then flatwater paddling has become the main driving force behind sports popularity explosion. Its easy uptake for beginners and low impact on the body has attracted millions of people from outside of traditional boardsport circles.
These days every well-equipped beach club, lake house and yacht has an all-around board or two available to use.
All-around boards are typically between 9'6 to 11 feet in length and slightly wider then Touring boards. The extra width makes them more stable and ideal for beginners.
Touring SUP boards generally range from 11 to 13 feet in length (depending on the rider's weight) and are narrower with a streamlined bow, making longer distances and higher speeds achievable. Most boards have deck nets that allow plenty of storage for longer expeditions.
Paddleboard Yoga
A recent phenomenon, the exact origin of when and where people first started using paddle boards as a platform for Yoga is unclear. Best only attempted on flat water, practicing poses on a floating board requires more balance and strength than the studio-based equivalent. Fans of SUP Yoga claim that the sounds and smells of the ocean are both soothing and energizing.
Many major board manufacturers are now producing Yoga specific SUPs. They are wider and slightly thinner than all-around boards, making them more stable. Many models also have full length, padded deck pads and removable or soft deck carry handle.
Stand Up Paddleboard Racing
Humans are naturally a competitive species, if it moves, someone will race it. With suitable watery race tracks all over the place, it wasn't long before people were competing against each other to be the best.
SUP racing is a more rigorous, adrenaline-filled sport than other types of flatwater paddling, and is a great way to meet other paddlers.
The most common size for racing boards is 12'6″ followed by the 14′ class. Narrower than most touring boards, racing boards are usually between 30″-26″ with 28″ generally accepted as a good balance between speed and stability. Both solid and inflatable boards are popular, with an advantage of inflatable being that it can be packed into a bag and flown in the hold with you to races.

A: I know this is a month old but since I had the same issue, I'd just like to post my solution.
The console on Android Studio uses your system gradle which might be of an older version. Check it with
gradle --version
If the gradle version is below 2.0 then you have the same problem as me.
You should upgrade your system gradle with
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gradle-ppa

to get the newest gradle installed

A: I overcame the same problem by following this previous answer.
Basically, just go to File/Settings/Build, Execution Deployment/Gradle and then edit the Gradle Home field changing the file path to the newest version like:

Who Killed Teddy Bear (1965)
Posted on February 11, 2016 September 17, 2018 By rantbit
Who Killed Teddy Bear first published by Film4
Synopsis: Actor Sal Mineo baits the censors in this tawdry Freudian thriller from the mid-1960s, midway between a giallo and a slasher.
Review: In 1955, at the tender age of 16, fresh-faced Sal Mineo had just been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as John 'Plato' Crawford in Rebel Without A Cause, and only five years later he would earn himself a second Best Supporting Actor nomination for his part in Exodus (1960).
Such early promise, however, would soon be ground down by the realities of Hollywood. By 1965, Mineo had become typecast as protagonist's juvenile best buddy, and there were also (not entirely unrelated, nor unfounded) rumours circulating that the good-looking sidekick was gay. So while the offer of a leading role in Who Killed Teddy Bear might have seemed the perfect opportunity for the actor at last to take top billing, there seemed little serious chance that his career would be resurrected by a film so fixated on all manner of sexual 'perversions' and closeted behaviours, not to mention on Mineo's bulging, often bared flesh. The homoerotic subtext already implicit in Rebel… is here given free rein.
Indeed, the principal theme of Who Killed Teddy Bear, enshrined in its very title, is the corruption of innocence. Young Norah Dain (Juliet Prowse) has moved to New York City to become a star of the stage, but has ended up disc-jockeying in a seedy night club where her virginal prettiness has attracted the eyes of everyone, including a creepy stalker who has begun pestering her with heavy-breathing phone calls.
It will not be long before we learn that her tormentor is in fact her softly-spoken colleague Lawrence Sherman (Mineo), a messed-up busboy who divides his free time between caring for his childlike sister Edie (Margot Bennett), building his body in the gym and pursuing furtive pornographic thrills. But if at first Lawrence seems no more suspiciously predatory than the club's leering bouncer Carlo (Dan Travanti), its sapphic manageress Marian (Elaine Stritch), or even the obsessive police lieutenant Dave Madden (Jan Murray), that is only because Who Killed Teddy Bear is concerned with the bestial deviancy of which we are all capable.
Preoccupied with voyeurism, masturbation, fetishism, lesbianism, rape, and all manner of psychosexual aberrations, Joseph Cates' Freudian noir proved altogether too lurid for the BBFC in its year of release, and was banned outright from British screens. Resubmitted for the first time over four decades later, it has now been passed uncut with a relatively tame 15 certificate, reflecting the way in which tastes and values have moved on since the 1960s. What the film may lack in explicitness, however, it more than makes up for in its murky morality.
Here the motives of the 'hero' are repeatedly questioned, the 'villain' is portrayed in a remarkably sympathetic light and our own act of viewing is shown to be every bit as double-edged as everyone else's, until finally the dream-like ending has innocence and depravity treading the same mean streets. Sure it is exploitative, but in a far more uncomfortably nuanced way than might be expected from writer Arnold Drake whose screenplays of the previous two years had been 50,000 BC (Before Clothes) and The Flesheaters.
Not that Who Killed Teddy Bear is without its flaws, even for the most committed fans of 1960s sleaze. The wintry scenes of Times Square and 42nd Street might cut it as fascinating slices of social anthropology, but the multiple scenes in which club patrons dance away to cheap pastiches of contemporary rock and roll are simply interminable.
Still, the film's sexual panic captures perfectly the mood between the repressive 1950s and the liberated 1970s – and for those with an interest in cinema history, Who Killed Teddy Bear represents an important missing link between, on the one hand, Peeping Tom (1960), Psycho (1960), and the nascent Italian giallo genre, and on the other hand, Black Christmas (1974), Taxi Driver (1976) and the American slasher genre. Mineo, too, makes for an eerily compelling (and confounding) antihero, way beyond the comfort zone of the Oscars.
In a Nutshell: It may have dated somewhat, but this 1960s New York story of violated innocence remains unsettling, with Mineo riveting as a proto-Travis Bickle.

Die Staatliche Akademie für Design und Kunst Charkiw (, wiss. Transliteration ; englisch: Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, kurz KSADA, ) ist eine Kunsthochschule in der ostukrainischen Stadt Charkiw. Sie ist eine der ältesten Kunsthochschulen in der Ukraine.

Geschichte
Die Gründung der Staatlichen Akademie für Design und Kunst in Charkiw in der heutigen Form erfolgte im Jahr 1921 und war die erste Kunsthochschule der Stadt. Mit dem Ausbruch des Deutsch-Sowjetischen Krieges im Jahr 1941 wurde das Institut ins usbekische Samarkand evakuiert. Nach der Rückkehr der Akademie erfolgte der schrittweise Ausbau, indem weitere Fakultäten und Abteilungen gegründet wurden. Die Zahl der Studierenden belief sich in den 1990er-Jahren bereits auf knapp 1500 Eingeschriebene, darunter Studierende aus dem Ausland.
Bis 2020 war die Akademie dem Bildungsministerium der Ukraine unterstellt. Im Jahr 2020 übertrug das Ministerium für Bildung und Wissenschaft die Einrichtung an das Ministerium für Kultur, Jugend und Sport, was zu Problemen bei der Auszahlung der Gehälter an die Lehrer und Stipendiaten der Akademie führte.

Gliederung
Die Staatliche Akademie für Design und Kunst untergliedert sich in vier Fakultäten und insgesamt 18 Abteilungen.
 Fakultät für bildende Kunst
 Fakultät für Design
 Fakultät für Umweltdesign
 Fakultät für audiovisuelle Kunst und Fernstudium

Absolventen (Auswahl)
 Wiktor Sydorenko
