Continuing their long term partnership, Nike and Medicom Toy will join forces once again this holiday season for the release of an upcoming Nike SB Dunk Low Elite.
Appropriately dubbed as the "BE@RBRICK" iteration, the newest silhouette from the Swoosh and Medicom features a denim upper in black and grey with hits of white on the midsole and Nike branding followed by a grey Nike Zoom outsole to round out the shoe. The sneakers' colorways take cues from a past collaboration between both brands, that was highly successful upon its release.
Nike's partnership with Medicom Toy can be dated back to 2002 when both bands partnered up to release a limited edition Dunk silhouette. In 2005, both parties reconnected for the release of another exclusive Dunk SB that sold out in a matter of minutes upon its release.
The highly anticipated Nike SB Dunk Low Elite "BE@RBRICK" has yet to receive an official release date, but the Swoosh has announced the silhouette will drop during this year's holiday season. Make sure to keep it locked with XXL for more news on this release.

Did you know the 1st apparition of the Blessed Mother was an act of bilocation?
It took place while she was still on earth, prior to her assumption into heaven, in 40 A.D, analyses Larry Peterson for the worldwide catholic network Aleteia.
Only a few years after Jesus' death and resurrection, in the year 40, the very first Marian apparition took place. The Blessed Virgin appeared to one of the apostles, St. James the Great, brother of St. John, in Spain. This apparition is known as Our Lady of the Pillar.
During the very early days of Christianity, James had travelled to the pagan lands of the Roman province of Hispania, today known as Spain. His evangelization efforts encountered great difficulty and it is said that the apostle had fallen into despondency.
One night, James was praying by the banks of the Ebro River near the city that is today known as Zaragoza. Suddenly a great light engulfed him. James knelt, staring into the light, and what he saw was beyond description. In the light was the Virgin Mary, surrounded by thousands of angels.
She told James that he should persevere, assuring him that ultimately his work for Jesus would have great results and many would turn to the Faith. She asked that a church be built on the place where she appeared and left behind a pillar of jasper to mark the spot where she had been. The Virgin Mary also left a small statue of herself holding the infant Jesus in her arms. The statue was sitting atop the jasper pillar.
Since the Blessed Virgin was still alive and living in Jerusalem — this was prior to her assumption into heaven — her appearance is considered an act of bilocation.
James immediately gathered some of his new followers and began work on a chapel on the designated site. The chapel is the first church ever dedicated to Mary and today, after many renovations, is known as the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar. It is located in the exact place Our Lady appeared some 2,000 years ago.
James participated in the dedication of the small church and returned to Jerusalem.
Ironically, he was the first apostle to die for the faith. In the year 44, Herod Agrippa had James beheaded. The disciples of James took his body back to Spain for final burial. The statue and pillar left by Our Lady were taken under the protection of the people of Zaragoza.
The many miracles surrounding the relic can attest to its heavenly origin. In 1936, during the Spanish Civil War, the left-leaning Republicans bombed the shrine, but the bombs that hit the church never exploded. No one is allowed to touch the statue except for the four priests assigned to its care and new-born infants, who can be lifted up to touch the image of their heavenly Mom.
Popes from the earliest times have attested to the authenticity of Our lady's appearance at the shrine. Pope Calixtus III in 1456 encouraged people to make pilgrimages to Our Lady of the Pillar. The miracle of the shrine's foundation was even acknowledged.
The most prominent miracle occurred in the 17th century. A beggar named Miguel Pellicer from the town of Calanda could not work due to having an amputated leg. He was constantly praying at the shrine for the Blessed Mother's help and his leg was restored.
Over the centuries many controversial stories arose concerning the authenticity of this shrine. Pope Innocent III, answering an appeal from Spain, had 12 cardinals investigate all the data available. On August 7, 1723, the Sacred Congregation of Rites affirmed the original. In 1730, Pope Clement XII allowed the feast of Our Lady of Pillar to be celebrated throughout the Spanish empire. Eventually she was declared Patroness of the Hispanic World. Our Lady of the Pillar's feast day is October 12.
One final thought. As a young seminarian, St. Josemaria Escriva, made daily visits to the shrine of Our Lady of the Pillar. He always prayed for guidance and eventually founded Opus Dei. The members honor her feast day each year.
Our Lady of the Pillar, please pray for us.

'We have to keep people safe': Hawkeyes at the heart of University of Iowa's COVID-19 response
Administrators have had practice leading through crises before, and it helped them come together to respond to COVID-19 as a team.
Marissa Payne, Editor-in-Chief
University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld was searching for a guiding star in March to lead the institution through the COVID-19 pandemic amid a horizon filled with uncertainty.
As the number of novel coronavirus cases first began to rise in Iowa, the 21st UI president met with the deans March 11, the Wednesday before spring break. At this meeting, Harreld said, he could see his collegiate leaders wrestling with how to minimize the virus' upheaval on campus operations — the financial toll, the human impact.
"What we're doing is trying to trade off things," he told The Daily Iowan, recalling his struggle to come to terms with the tough decisions that lay ahead of him and his team. "I kind of pounded on the table to make it very clear that we are going to do a lot of damage to a lot of things across the institution, but the one thing we're not going to do damage to are the people.
"We are going to make sure our students are safe, our faculty is safe, and our staff [is] safe. If we need to go into our homes, we are all going to go into our homes. If we're going to have to teach online, then we're going to teach online. And if we have to cancel graduation, we will have a virtual graduation. It's terrible, but we have to keep people safe."
Once I got fixed on the guiding principle in the middle of March, I will say things didn't get easier but they got clearer. I don't think people come here as students or join our institution as faculty or staff or anything else to put themselves in harm's way."
— Bruce Harreld, UI president
As President Emeritus Sandy Boyd often said, it's the people, not the buildings, that make the UI great.
So, Harreld and the UI team set out to keep Hawkeyes at the heart of the university's response to the unprecedented COVID-19 public-health crisis.
"As you're moving through a situation like this, what are we focused on optimizing? What's the one thing we have to make sure we get right?" Harreld said. "… Once I got fixed on the guiding principle in the middle of March, I will say things didn't get easier but they got clearer. I don't think people come here as students or join our institution as faculty or staff or anything else to put themselves in harm's way."
Since the first case of the virus was identified in Wuhan, China, in November, the UI has made sweeping operational changes in a matter of months, sometimes days, to keep the Hawkeye community safe — recalling students from study-abroad programs, shutting down campus buildings, canceling events including commencement, moving students out of residence halls, and switching to entirely virtual instruction.
Though these actions all made for a jarring change from typically vibrant campus operations, this isn't the first time the UI has responded to a crisis. Having most recently faced the 2008 flood, the university has fine-tuned its reaction to emergencies, Senior Vice President for Finance and Operations Rod Lehnertz said. Away from campus in his temporary home workspace, Lehnertz oversees university operations with his seven-pound dog Swift (named after chart-topping musician Taylor Swift) nearby.

UI officials created the Critical Incident Management Team to chart the UI's course to coordinate with constituents across campus to plan and make operational changes amid disasters. The group brings together leaders from key campus units and central administration who are tasked with protecting human life and restoring normal operations amid a crisis.
This includes crises that can't be seen, such as COVID-19.
Sitting in a "pretty confining" closet inside his home that's been converted into a miniature sound studio, Lehnertz said via a Skype video interview that the UI handled COVID-19 effectively out of the gate because of lessons learned from the flood. It was a time to come together as a university to problem-solve — of lacking answers but searching for solutions, he said.
The flood hit the eastern Iowa region, including Iowa City, hard. It took eight years for the UI to cross off each step toward recovery — reviving classroom spaces, rebuilding portions of the IMU, completely reconstructing Hancher Auditorium and a new home for the School of Music in Voxman. But Lehnertz said the university emerged better and more prepared once the recovery efforts wrapped up.
With COVID-19, the UI isn't alone in its experiences the way it was during the flood. It's among many institutions and Hawkeyes are among millions of people across the globe whose lives have been altered because of the pandemic, leaving everyone to wrestle with unknowns while experts race to learn more about the virus.
"… Those kinds of less than predictable crises are ones that, even as we get through this, we can't say, 'And now bring it on. Let's have another one like that, because we will tackle it.' We don't know what it will be," Lehnertz said. "What we do know is we'll be ready as an institution to organize on behalf of the institution and its students, and its faculty, and its staff, and I'd say do so better than other institutions because, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, we're good at it because we've done it."
Watching the world and waiting
Iowans watched the coastal coronavirus activity and waited in the Heartland for it to reach Middle America.
The coronavirus crept toward the Hawkeye State slowly — first spreading from China in November, then beginning the global outbreak as cases were confirmed in Japan, Thailand, and South Korea on Jan. 20. By Jan. 21, the first case in the U.S. was identified in Washington state, and within weeks New York became another U.S. epicenter for the virus' spread.
At that time, Russ Ganim had just transitioned Jan. 1 to his new role as International Programs dean, only three weeks before the UI would send its first message to international students and scholars on Jan. 23 regarding the institution's awareness of COVID-19.

Keeping in touch with students and alumni in the virus' first epicenter in Wuhan, Ganim said he gained an understanding early on of some of the public-health measures taken there to address COVID-19, such as contact-tracing with people who may have come into contact with individuals who have tested positive.
The former director of the Division of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures traveled to China off and on for the last decade, so he said it's not uncommon for visitors to have their temperature taken or to be called aside for special screening. Those initial measures didn't alarm him.
"Some of us who had been through those experiences previously thought, 'OK, well this might be like SARS or H1N1 where this is serious, but we're not at the level of a global pandemic,' " he said. "Well, it turned out that the coronavirus was very serious, and that it spread on a scale that I don't think anyone could have imagined in January."
That month, UI Emergency Management Director Anna Lumpkin said the Critical Incident Management Team began working with UI Health Care's Bioemergency Response Team to gear up on the medical side of the institution, and then with the university's in-house epidemiological experts.
The Critical Incident Management Team was not formally activated until March 2 and first met in-person the next day, but the campus-wide coordinated coronavirus workgroup began meeting several times a week Jan. 27.
"We learn from the other states. We learn from the other institutions. We've learned from everyone that had this first before us," Lumpkin said of the early days of the university's COVID-19 response. "And that's an important component, is reaching out to our partners, understanding lessons learned, what didn't work, and being prepared for when it happened here."
The UI had just begun communicating with the campus community about its understanding of and resources to combat the coronavirus in January. But after the initial outreach, for almost a month, at least outwardly, the university remained mum on its COVID-19 response.
Soon, the situation began to spiral across the globe. Reports emerged from Italy of hospitals that were overflowing with too many COVID-19 patients and too few beds, of newspaper obituary sections packed with more than double the usual amount of tributes to the dead as world leaders struggled to keep up with the coronavirus' rapid spread across borders.
Ganim said that's when it became clear the world would have to grapple with a pandemic.

The UI canceled CIMBA Italy, its popular study-abroad program geared especially toward business students, on Feb. 28 as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Department issued travel advisories warning of the risk of venturing to the country. Then, within a week came the decision to recall students studying abroad in Japan and the state Board of Regents banned international travel for all faculty, staff, and students.
The people on the UI's coronavirus work group transitioned to the Critical Incident Management Team when Lumpkin activated it March 2, less than a week before officials confirmed the first COVID-19 cases in Iowa.

By March 8, when Gov. Kim Reynolds reported three Iowans were infected with the virus, the world had seen nearly 110,000 confirmed cases and just under 3,900 deaths from the disease.
Since then, there's been push and pull between the state and Johnson County officials as the Board of Supervisors has urged Reynolds to issue a shelter-in-place order with more stringent restrictions on movement within the state to keep people at home and ensure social distancing.
Iowa's Republican governor refused to issue one, but maintains she took the steps of such an order by ordering schools, restaurants, and nonessential businesses to close.
As politics played out between the state and its 99 counties, the Hawkeye team remained focused on helping Hawkeyes stay safe and healthy through their collaborative emergency-management structure.
It's this collaboration that's contributed to a successful COVID-19 response so far, said Lumpkin, whose central role involves coordinating with local, state, and federal agencies, including the Iowa Department of Public Health and CDC.
"If the law requires it, then we have to make sure we're in compliance with it… So, you know, I decide to put all politics aside, so we just do what we have to do," she said.
UI team comfortable in crisis mode
The month of March seemed to last for years as UI leaders said they worked around the clock to keep up with the flow of constantly changing information.
No matter the mandate, the Critical Incident Management Team has kept the UI functioning through the onset of the public-health threat and is now composed of different planning teams. These groups work to coordinate health and safety procedures, classroom sizing and scheduling, information-technology support, human-resource policies, facilities maintenance, finance/budget, and research.
Just three days after Reynolds announced Iowa's first cases, all three in Johnson County stemming from travel on an Egyptian cruise, the UI on March 11 canceled study-abroad programs in Spain, France, and Germany, before pulling Hawkeyes out of 26 other countries with a CDC-level 3 travel advisory.
Students and parents were concerned about the risks associated with travel, Ganim said. Those returning from abroad feared becoming infected with COVID-19 by remaining in high-risk countries, and they feared coming back to the U.S., which seemed to grow more unsafe as Americans saw the virus beginning to surge here as well.
"While it was certainly regrettable that the student experiences — many of which can't be replaced — had to be cut short, we felt that the health and security of our students was really the only priority, and that's what guided our decision-making process," Ganim said.
Hawkeyes already at home in Iowa City would soon see a shakeup to their semester as well.

University College Dean Tanya Uden-Holman remembers when it sunk in that COVID-19 would have far-reaching implications for the UI.
She spent her birthday, March 9, meeting with all of the colleges to discuss their plans for moving to online instruction — a day before the regents directed the universities to prepare for the "eventuality" of a switch. Uden-Holman works on the planning group within the Critical Incident Management Team.
"It really hit me," she said. "And as we started working with the colleges on their communications for their faculty, staff, and students, put in some really long days… It almost in some ways seems surreal at times."
On March 11, the UI shared plans to move instruction entirely online for at least two weeks after spring break beginning March 23. University leaders had been quietly preparing for the move to distance learning, with no formal announcement until March 11 and the only visible sign of shifts before then coming from the regents' directive and from a March 4 Tippie College of Business email to students warning them of the possible change to come.
Already strong in its distance-learning offerings coming into the COVID-19 response, the UI integrated its Information Technology Services through a regent-led efficiency review in 2015. The move prepared it to embrace the large-scale move to online education this spring.
Executive Vice Provost and Senior Associate Provost for Faculty Kevin Kregel, who leads the Critical Incident Management Team's planning group, said the UI was well-equipped for the transition thanks in particular to the Office of Teaching, Learning and Technology and the Center for Teaching.
"We have the infrastructure. We have the expertise. These are two offices that have really talented people, so faculty have already been engaged with those processes," he said. "Now, the challenge in mid-March was to be able to serve a much larger clientele over a short period of time."
At the time, Lehnertz said UI officials knew enough to understand they didn't know enough. By taking incremental steps to move online, he said the UI wanted the ability to more easily revert back to face-to-face instruction should COVID-19 "clear up."
As of the May 8 MyUI deadline for students to opt in, 8,404 students have elected pass/nonpass or satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading for 17,093 enrollments.
As cases in Iowa and across the U.S. continue to surge, administrators decided the UI needed to continue offering instruction virtually for the whole semester and, later on, through all five summer class sessions.
The timing coincided with spring break on the week of March 15, as the UI made the final call to send Hawkeyes home from residence halls and to end in-person instruction March 18.
"That meant two things: The campus was primarily empty, and it also meant that it gave us a very valuable week of spring break to convert classes that had not been virtual to a temporary virtual format," Lehnertz said.
The change in instructional methods has come with flexibility in course-grading options. Hawkeyes could already opt to take courses pass/nonpass before the pandemic, but the UI extended the deadline to take advantage of that grading option through MyUI to May 8.
Colleges backed the decision, Uden-Holman said, allowing students to satisfy general-education requirements and prerequisites with courses taken as pass/nonpass. Given the abrupt midsemester campus shutdown and other life disruptions students are facing, she said this option was especially important for students.
"I thought that was a great example of coming together and really doing what was in the best interest of students," she said.
Students and faculty, especially those in more hands-on fields such as lab sciences and the arts, have reported some hiccups with the instructional switch.
Dance students don't have the same space in which to practice freely, music students are struggling with lower sound quality while learning over Zoom, and students studying in lab-based courses aren't able to complete important experiments and projects in a physical environment.

Despite the obstacles, Kregel and Uden-Holman said Hawkeyes rose to the occasion to get creative with the classroom experience.
"The faculty met the challenges and students understood and accepted the limitations that were thrown their way," Kregel said.
Faculty have approached teaching with a "we're-going-to-make-it-work" attitude, Uden-Holman said. Students have followed suit to persist in their education.
"Some of [the students] stayed in Iowa City, others went home. Some of them lost jobs, some of their parents lost jobs," she said. "And so, the fact that they were resilient and continued learning sometimes in difficult situations, I think that they really deserve to be recognized for that as well."
Normally, this time of year brings the campus community together to celebrate the end of another academic year, and especially to send off those finishing their college careers. On sunny May days, soon-to-be alums donning black and gold still flock to the Pentacrest to take photos with their friends and pop open champagne bottles on the Old Capitol steps despite social-distancing guidelines.
Some are clinging to the graduation-season traditions, but thousands of Hawkeyes will fly out of the nest this weekend without walking across the commencement stage. The traditional celebrations will now take place online, though graduates may return to partake in in-person commencement in December or in spring 2021.
While it was a tough call to make, Uden-Holman said, the university's guiding principle — the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff — pushed the UI to make the right decision.
"It was a really difficult decision because commencement is like the culmination of your time with us and it's a time of the year that we all love, being able to see our students and your families and friends come together, so it was a decision that everyone took really seriously," she said. "We just knew that we couldn't safely do it in person — that just was not going to happen."
Hawkeyes look to uncertain future
Tell Harreld where the virus will go next, and the UI will figure out its next steps, the head Hawkeye challenged rhetorically.
That's something even the experts can't do just yet.

For now, Harreld told the DI that his days consist of strange and bizarre meetings facing his computer screen instead of people. He's a leader whom many have praised as team-oriented, now leading without his team physically by his side.
The UI president, now wrapping up his fourth full academic year at the institution's helm, said he thinks of advice from one of his mentors about how great leaders respond to a crisis: They deal with it, and they prepare for the future.
"… New opportunities emerge from a situation like this," he said. "And so I'm trying to — we're trying to — balance both of those at the same time."
Kregel, who still reports to work to his now-empty Jessup Hall office, said this is a once-in-a-century opportunity to change for the better. He pointed to the integration of online-learning opportunities in a hybrid setting as one such possibility to seize upon and thrive in.
Concrete plans for the fall semester are still in the works, but administrators have said university operations will likely emphasize social distancing and offer more distance methods of instruction in case of another surge in COVID-19 cases.
"This is just my perspective, but institutes of higher education generally don't change," Kregel said. "There's a lot of inertia. They don't change unless there's a reason, and we obviously have a reason now."
While UI leaders reckon with an uncertain future, they will be forced to grapple with a projected $76 million in expenses and revenue losses through August and another $70 million for UIHC through April, with only $16.2 million from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act to fill the gap. Harreld said all options are on the table to address the shortfall — salary reductions and hiring freezes among them.
The Oaknoll residents answer the call for face masks. "I think it's been hard mentally on a lot of the residents in those kinds of facilities, and this gave a unique opportunity for a group of them to get together, become a new larger circle of friends at Oaknoll… It's been neat to watch this team that my mom's worked with do this together," said Rod Lehnertz, whose mom is working with friends at Oaknoll to sew face masks. (Photo courtesy of Pat Lehnertz and Rod Lehnertz.)
Tough calls are ahead, but as these leaders have overcome the onset of the pandemic, they said the university community's collaborative nature has emerged clearly.
"It would have been very easy for people to become siloed or to think, 'Oh, this is my turf,' and that just didn't happen," Uden-Holman said.
In his makeshift sound studio and as he roamed around his basement later in the call, Lehnertz reflected on Hawkeyes' collaboration amid crises quietly while his daughter took an online test upstairs.
Lehnertz led campus through the 2008 flood recovery efforts — he knows a few things about rebirth after devastation. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds and UI leaders tread on a path with no clear final destination, Lehnertz said past crises have proven to be opportunities to rebuild what was damaged and make it stronger than it was at the start.
When the UI emerges from COVID-19, the campus will be better for it, he said — as will the Hawks who have helped fellow Hawks in the unforgettable year of 2020.
"… With the stresses we have going on, we also see those moments where people have remembered things they had forgotten about — being generous and being kind and reaching out, even if it has to be virtual," he said. "I think a silver lining in all of this is we may have a society that's ready to remember how to care for one another, more than would have been the case before this, and I'm hoping that those lessons we learn will stick."

Pertsov House
Soymonovsky passage, 1
Pertsov House has an interesting look – it looks as a house described in Russian fairytales - red building with majolica. The history of the house is also fascinating.
Interesting around
It all began, however, with another house. "Casket house" was built on the Prechistenskaya embankment by the painting collector Tsvetkov. Competing with Tretyakov brothers for fame, he even fired his architect, and hired Vasnetsov, when he learnt that Tretyakovs are bulding a mansion on the basis of sketches of Vasnetsov. "Casket house " was smaller than the Tretyakov Gallery, but had a wonderful view of the Moscow River, the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. This view fascinated Petr Pertsov, the railway engineer. Tsvetkov proposed to indicate an even better place, if Pertsov would build a house in the Russian style. He agreed, and with the assistance of Tsvetkov, he bought a piece of land nearby.
Pertsov declared a closed competition for development of a "tenant house in the Russian style". The jury represented the most famous people: Vasnetsov, Surikov, Polenov, Shekhtel. But as result Pertsov himself chose the project of Malyutin, which got only the second place in the competition. Malyutin was an author of the first Russian Matryoshka painting.
The house was built in 11 months - a very short period of time, knowing about the existance of the carved staircases, majolica tiled stoves, stained glass windows, a bedroom with alcoves and smoking rooms in oriental style – for them craftsmen who were discharged from the Nizhny Novgorod province were hired. And as it happens with all tenement houses – there was magnificent decoration of the facade of the building with expensive apartments, but the back part of the house, where the windows of the cheap apartments opened to, was simple and unpretentious.
Pertsov lived in this house for 15 years. He was one of the treasurer of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, he was standing up for the church and in 1922 because of the process of "churchers" was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Pertsov was set free a year later, but was dishoused.
The house was nationalized. Here what his youngest daughter Zinaida Pertsova wrote in her memoir: " ... there was a person living in our house - a famous freak and original - Pozdnyakov. He arranged his apartment, which consisted of four huge rooms, in an extraordinary way. The largest, the one which looked almost as a hall, has been transformed into a bathroom (my brothers visited Pozdnyakov and described his flat to me in details). The floor and the walls were covered with black cloth. In the middle of the room, on a special platform there was a huge black marble bath (its weight was 70 pounds). Orange lights are around. The huge wall mirrors reflect the sitting in the bath person from all sides. Another room has been transformed into a winter garden: parquet was covered with sand and laid with green plants and garden furniture. The living room was lovely - with tiger skins and artistic furniture made of Karelian birch. Here the owner was taking in guests being dressed in the ancient Greek toga and sandals on his bare feet, and on the nail of the thumb there was a shining diamond monogram. A Negro was serving him being dressed in red livery, who was always accompanied by a black pug with a big red bow!
Lev Trotsky fell for this fantastic flat: I do not know if he also borrowed the Greek toga and the sandals from Pozdnyakov!"
Now the building is housing the Administrative Department of the diplomatic service.

Last month we traveled to Israel with our friends John and Kelsie. We spent four wonderful days in Jerusalem. It is the most fascinating city…there's no where else like it in the world! Jerusalem is the site of many important biblical events. Since I am a Christian, it was an amazing experience to see the Bible come alive…especially the Passion of Christ. Jesus was a controversial figure then, as he still is today. In his day, he inspired great devotion as well as great anger. The following photos tell the story of Jesus' last few days before he was crucified.
Things have changed a lot in the last 2000 years!
Jesus celebrated the Passover (the Last Supper) with his disciples in Jerusalem. When it was over, he went with his disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane, located at the foot of the Mount of Olives. Jesus knew what was about to happen, and wanted time to pray.
The Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu is built on the slope of Mt. Zion. For centuries, this location was believed to be the site of the palace of the high priest Caiaphas. If it is indeed the site, this would be where Peter denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed, as prophesied by Jesus. "Gallicantu" means "rooster crows" in Latin.
This is one of two sites that are identified as possible locations for the palace of Caiaphas. Recent excavation on this site uncovered large meeting rooms, which may have been where the Sanhedrin met.
In the photo below you can see the Dome of the Rock, located on the Temple Mount.
Whether or not this is the actual site, the location struck us because from it you can see the Passion of Jesus unfold. In the photo below you can see the walls of Jerusalem, inside which Jesus celebrated the Last Supper (Passover) with his disciples. Jesus then left Jerusalem from one of the gates with his disciples.
To the right of the walls you can see the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives where Jesus went to pray, and where he was arrested. You can barely see the onion-domed church of St. Mary Magdelene, situated in the Garden of Gethsemane.
After his arrest, Jesus was taken to the high priest and the Council for questioning at Caiaphas' house.
Below is a photo of the Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu. It is built over a dungeon, where some believe Jesus was imprisoned after he was beaten and mocked by the Council.
After questioning Jesus, the high priest and the Council became furious with Jesus because he claimed to be the Messiah and quoted an Old Testament prophecy. Someone without biblical knowledge would not have caught the meaning of Jesus' statement. Caiaphas and the Council, however, did not miss Jesus' meaning. Jesus had quoted a prophecy from the book of Daniel, and in doing so, claimed to be God. Claiming equality with God was the height of blasphemy, a sin worthy of death.
Herod's Palace at Jerusalem was built in the the 1st century BC by Herod the Great, King of Judea. It was the second most important building in Jerusalem, after the Temple. Herod's palace is also possibly where the wise men came after Jesus' birth. Nothing remains of the palace today except for the Citadel, which has been destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries.
The praertorium (governor's residence) at the Palace was the official residence of the Roman governers when they came to Jerusalem. So, this is possibly very close to the site of Jesus' trial by Pontius Pilate. Interestingly, after interviewing Jesus, Pontius Pilate wanted to release him.
This is the most fascinating church I have ever seen. It is a strange mix of Byzantine, medieval, and crusader styles.
The first church was founded by Constantine the Great in 335, after he sent his mother, St. Helen, to find the site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial.
The early Christian community of Jerusalem was said to have met together at the tomb of Jesus until 66 AD, when the city was taken by the Romans. Emperor Hadrian filled in the quarry and built a temple to Aphrodite.
Constantine removed the pagan temple. The rock-hewn tomb of Jesus was isolated and the church was built around what was believed to be the excavated hill of the Crucifixtion. According to contemporary Christian historians, the Rock of Golgotha was found during the excavation and building process.
The most convincing piece of evidence that this might be the actual tomb of Jesus is that other first-century tombs are found inside the church. The burial shafts date to the time of Jesus' death.
This site LOOKS much more like the place of the Skull, as described in biblical accounts. This area was part of an ancient stone quarry. According to local oral tradition, the quarry was the site of execution by stoning (think about it…makes sense). So, it is possible that the Romans also used the site for crucifixions.
Crucifixions usually took place next to busy roads, so that many would pass by and be deterred by the fate of the criminals or insurrectionists. It is ironic that now, in modern times, just below this site is a very busy bus station. I took the photo and cut out the bus site because I though it took away from the preciousness of the site…the place where Jesus died for the sins of all humanity. However, in retrospect, I think it's God's way to shout "I love you!!" to all the hundreds of people coming and going on the buses each day. I wonder if they hear Him?
In scripture, the place where Jesus was crucified, and the place where he was buried were very close in proximity…as are Golgotha and the Garden Tomb.
The garden area is really lovely and peaceful. It has been tastefully landscaped to accommodate Christian groups who come to worship and give thanks at this site. We heard a group singing worship songs in another language, and we could recognize the tune without understanding the words. It was beautiful!!
The tomb was excavated in 1867. The exact dating of the tomb is disputed; however, it fits biblical description in that it is cut out of solid rock, and it was sealed by a rolling stone. You can see the channel for the stone behind Andy's legs.
The exact LOCATION of the place of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection isn't as important as WHY he died, and WHO he died for.
The Jews have been persecuted by ignorant Christians throughout the centuries since Jesus' death for being "Christ killers". Their reasoning is ridiculous, because Jesus was Jewish, as were the disciples and the early Christian church. The persecutors of the Jews didn't get it…that Jesus' death wasn't a mistake…it was part of God's plan to reach out to a lost world, to bring people back to a relationship with Him. In fact, Jesus predicted his own death.
The Temple was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. The Western Wall is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the courtyard of the Temple. It is one of the most sacred sites for the Jewish faith. The Jews pray at the Western Wall because it is the side of the Temple Mount which is closest to the location of the Holy of Holies: the inner chamber where the ark of the covenant was kept. Jesus often taught at the Temple, as did his disciples, following Jesus' resurrection.
The controversy over Jesus' claims to be God did not end with his death and resurrection. Peter and John healed a lame man begging for alms at the gate of the temple. This attracted a big crowd, so Peter began to boldly tell the crowd that it was the power of Jesus who healed the man, and how Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah.
Not surprisingly, this annoyed the Jewish leaders, who had Peter and John arrested. The next day they were brought before Caiaphas (a little deja-vu, perhaps?) Peter had the audacity to tell Caiaphas and the leaders that Jesus' was the Christ!
Many who are of other faiths or of no faith have respect for Jesus. Some believe that Jesus was a great teacher, but don't believe he was God. They believe he was a great human being. Some even revere Jesus as a great prophet.
C.S. Lewis argued against the view that Jesus was a great teacher in his book Mere Christianity. He argued that Jesus made astonishing claims about himself, such as having the authority to forgive sins and to be the only way for people to attain salvation.
First, that Jesus' claims were false and he knew it. That would make him a liar…ouch! If he knew his claims were false, then he was purposefully deceiving people. If that is the case, there goes the idea that Jesus was a great teacher.
The second possibility, according to Lewis, is that if Jesus' claims about himself were false, and he didn't know it…then he was a lunatic! These days, if someone claims to be God himself, we lock him or her up in a loony bin!
Everyone decides for themselves what they think about Jesus' claims…liar, lunatic or Lord?
Sunset on the Holy Land!
The end of our first day!
We arrived in Israel with our friends and their family at 3:15am. I think Nate was the only one who got a semi decent night's sleep. So we picked up our rental cars, drove to the home we are staying at, and crashed for several hours.
We woke up, had a late lunch, and headed off to the beach… just a five minute drive away. We were shown the way to this particular beach by the house sitter of the people whose home we are staying in. There was hardly anyone there!
The water was about 75 degrees Farenheit!
This kid LOVES the water!
So does this BIG kid…he's doing the Gangnam style dance out there! Bet you didn't know that Andy can dance on water!
This pooch was thoroughly enjoying the water as well and swam with us the whole time we were there.
Praise God, we are in the Holy Land!
Then we watched the sun go down over the Mediterranean.
It was a lovely secluded beach.
I think I must have touched the camera lense with a wet finger, because there's a red circle on some of the photos, but they are still amazing shots to capture the lovely sunset.
It was a wonderful end to our first day in the Holy Land! Many more great days have followed since then. We've been to the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, as well as three days in Jerusalem. It's amazing to see the city of David, to see where Jesus walked and taught, and to experience the sights and sounds of this fascinating country!


When we elect local government officials, we hope that they will make good long term decisions for the cities and towns that we live in. In an era of continual budget crises, this hope means that the intelligent long term care of municipal assets is not being sacrificed for immediate political gains.
One of the most common types of asset management is often called Run-To-Failure Maintenance or crisis maintenance. It is when assets are allowed to run until they breakdown before any attention is given to them.
The reason that run-to-failure maintenance is so prevalent is that it is easy to do, takes very little thought and is completely devoid of long term maintenance planning. It is the Easy Button for government officials and asset managers.
No one expects an elected official to be an engineer, utility expert or city planner. But elected officials are expected to know how to find solutions to the problems their communities face.
Higher emergency labor costs as assets rarely breakdown at convenient times.
Higher energy cost as poorly maintained equipment use more energy to accomplish the same results.
Increased risk of catastrophic repair, event or disaster as it is usually a minor issue that blossoms into a disaster.
Higher capital budget requirements as assets will need to be replaced more often due to poor maintenance practices.
Higher liability and risk management costs as a result of accident lawsuits claiming negligence in asset care.
Important asset systems such as water systems and stadiums etc. can reach a point where maintenance options are replaced by tear down and complete reconstruction.
The bottom line is there is no upside to waiting for assets to fail.
It is important for true leaders to visualize the long term when managing a city or town. In order to do this, elected officials need to know what are their assets are as well as where they are, the condition they are in and their maintenance history. This can be accomplished with an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system.
A reduction in emergency repairs as assets are scheduled for all work management including preventive maintenance and periodic inspections based upon their maintenance history.
Lower labor costs as manual processes and archaic means of tracking assets are replaced with computerized tools.
Lower energy costs as equipment is maintained better (ex: HVAC).
Reduced likelihood of catastrophic emergencies.
Lower unplanned downtime and closings as most maintenance can be scheduled during off hours.
Lower capital budget requirements thus freeing up resources need for new projects.
A safer city or town.
Landmarks, facilities, parks remain usable for a much longer period of time.
Voters can take pride in their city and effective leadership.
Smarter cities attract better business opportunities.
Waiting for assets to breakdown before reacting is not good asset management, good asset management includes making an EAM system the new Easy Button.


Twenty years ago, back in the autumn of 1997, saw the release of a very special recording: City of Gold. The idea for a project exploring ideas, thoughts and meditations on the subject of heaven was birthed during a late night conversation (in a rather nice hotel bar!) between Phil Baggaley, Adrian Plass and me, following the final concert on the last night of a tour. We talked into the early hours of the morning, discussing the possibility of a project featuring poems, readings and music that would explore the great unknown, yet often discussed subject of heaven and our onward journey after this life is over. Adrian's poems and prose, readings from Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, along with the beautiful songs and instrumental music, all combined together to create a truly original and much loved album. The excellent singing of Mal Pope and Julie Costello, the musical contributions from Mark Edwards, David Fitzgerald and the band, along with Phil and Neil Costello's production, has created a true masterpiece. This recording continues to touch the hearts of countless thousands of people across the world.
To celebrate the anniversary of its release, Little Room Recordings has released a Limited Edition 20th Anniversary version with a ten page full colour lyric booklet including all the lyrics, poems, prose and artwork from the original book release which accompanied the CD. Fittingly, the music is presented on a gold disk to mark the occasion.
Some of the personal reviews on the USA Amazon website are very touching, and it is a privilege to know that our music, poetry and prose means so much to so many people, and comforts them in times of grief and loss. There are five pages of reviews under the www.amazon.com comments section, and it makes very moving reading indeed.
The CD is available from the Little Room Store and can be sent anywhere worldwide.


In 2016 Mason Rudolph came into the season as a dark horse candidate for the Heisman trophy. After a sloppy game against Central Michigan Rudolph's hopes were dashed. The refs became the story of the Oklahoma State season until Bedlam where again Rudolph underperformed playing against the 2016 Big 12 champion. Then to end the season, Rudolph showed us a glimpse of what kind of quarterback he can be in the Alamo Bowl victory against a 10 win PAC-12 team.
So a year later heading into the 2017 season what are Mason Rudolph's Heisman hopes, well much better than last year's chances. Rudolph comes into 2017 with a sophomore running back who rushed for more than 1,000 years in his freshman year in Justice Hill. Rudolph also has the wideouts to truly make him in the running for a 5,000 yard passing year, especially in the pass happy BIG-12.
James Washington returns to the team for his senior year and after he caught 10 touchdowns and caught 71 passes for 1,380 yards, Washington is looking to keep his name in the discussion to be a first round draft pick. The Rudolph to Washington fade route will only be better in the final year of the All-BIG-12 duos collegiate career.
Rudolph also has Jalen McCleskey returning to the team who finished the year with more than 800 yards receiving and Chris Lacy who averaged 15.8 yards receiving on just 31 catches.
Also, this 5-star receiver who played one season at LSU, named Tyron Johnson transferred to OSU to play for Coach Gundy and his well known passing attack. Johnson has sat out a year and has learned from watching the receivers last year and the offense from the coaching staff.
All of this and Rudolph had 4,000 yards passing last year and he has been named to the 2017 Maxwell and Davey O'Brien award watch list.
Rudolph has an elite running back, an offensive line with one new member, a six foot eight transfer from Cal Berkley, three returning receivers from last year, Marcell Ateman who is returning from injury after having over 750 yards receiving in 2015, and a 5-star transfer to work with. Rudolph is already the man around campus but with the Heisman trophy in his hands, everyone will let him cut the line into the bars.


Huddersfield Town Head Coach David Wagner has named his starting line-up for the Club's first ever Premier League match.
Wagner has handed four of Town's summer recruits their competitive debuts for the Terriers' match against Crystal Palace; 3pm kick-off at Selhurst Park.

Karmin releases new "Acapella" song
Sam Tardif
Comments Off on Karmin releases new "Acapella" song
It seems like acapella groups are gaining popularity as fast as vampires and werewolves did after Twilight. Karmin's taken a page from Pitch Perfect and hopped on the "sans-instruments"- band wagon. Like literally ANYTHING else Karmin does… I love it. Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan bring the Karmin-sound were used to, but this time there is minimal use of instruments. The sounds in this track are mostly all human made… from their mouths. Which is impressive in itself, and totally compliments Amy's usual rap/singing style featured in the song. The only thing I dislike about this new release is that Amy is blonde. It's a little aca-awkward. But as per usual I'm obsessed and this track only makes me more excited for their new album to drop this summer. Take a listen this metaphor-packed jam… it won't be a hard pass.
Also I don't apologize for all the Pitch Perfect references 🙂

WCC Presidents Shine In Washington D.C.
Home » April 21 2014 » WCC Presidents Shine In Washington D.C.
Former WCC President Gunder Myran and current WCC President Rose Bellanca both shined brightly as they each accepted prestigious honors at the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC)Annual Convention, held April 5-7 in Washington, DC.
Dr. Myran, who served as WCC President from 1975 to 1998, was nominated for the 2014 AACC Leadership award by the organization's CEO for his "outstanding and continuous accomplishments and professional contributions to the community college field." The AACC specifically noted his work in establishing the Washtenaw Technical Middle College (WTMC) at Washtenaw Community College (WCC), as well as his community engagement and the expansion of partnerships on behalf of the college. Dr. Myran was joined by his children and grandson as he accepted the 2014 AACC Leadership award.
President Bellanca was honored to accept the AACC Emerging Leadership Award on behalf of WCC. The college was among four finalists in the nation nominated for the prestigious award, which highlights WCC's work to support education and leadership development for college employees and the groundbreaking development of its "The Leadership Edge" Leadership Academy.
"It is truly a privilege for WCC to be recognized by the AACC for the Emerging Leadership Award," said Dr. Bellanca. "We have so many great leaders here at the college and I am very proud of the institution's ongoing work to ensure that we support the dedicated faculty, staff and administrators on our campus. An enriched community of educators and leaders is of great benefit to our students, and will help safeguard the long-term strength of WCC."
Dr. Bellanca receives the 2014 American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Excellence in Emerging Leadership finalist award from Dr. Walter Bumphus, president and CEO of the AACC. The award was given at the AACC's 94th annual conference in Washington D.C. on April 7. WCC was nominated for its Leadership Edge Leadership Academy.
Dr. Bellanca noted that the WCC Five Year Strategic Plan includes a strategic priority that focuses on professional development and organizational health, and was the impetus for the development of the program. Academy classes focus on vital areas such as development and enhancing a culture of leadership in the organization through staff innovation, creativity and accountability.
The AACC, which is headquartered in the National Center for Higher Education in Washington, D.C. and has been in service since 1920, represents nearly 1200 two-year, associate degree-granting institutions and more than 13 million students, as well as a growing number of international members in Puerto Rico, Japan, Great Britain, Korea, and the United Arab Emirates. According to the organization, community colleges are the largest and fastest-growing sector of U. S. higher education, enrolling close to half (45 percent) of all U.S. undergraduates.

Dorothy Ashby & Frank Wess: In A Minor Groove
Title: In A Minor Groove
Label: Real Gone Music
Vinyl LP pressing. Dorothy Ashby was probably the greatest-and certainly the most swinging-jazz harpist of all time, re-purposing an instrument best known for ethereal glissandos into a fully versatile voice in combo settings, capable of providing both instrumental embroidery and rhythmic drive. But she was always fighting an uphill battle in terms of garnering critical and commercial success; both her gender and the exoticism of her instrument often prevented her from being taken seriously among the hidebound environs of late '50s and '60s jazz. But it is that very uniqueness of her sound and station in the jazz world that has made her one of the most collectible musicians of her era, as her music has been sampled and celebrated by modern-day hip hop and world music artists (e.g. Jurassic Five, Bonobo) alike. In a Minor Groove is one of two albums she made in 1958 with flautist/saxophonist Frank Wess, and it is a marvel; backed by fellow Detroit native Herman Wright on bass and the great Roy Haynes on drums. For this first-ever domestic black vinyl reissue of In a Minor Groove, we are using the original mono sources-not the rechanneled stereo and jumbled track listing that showed up on Prestige's later repackaging called Dorothy Ashby Plays for Beautiful People. Original album art with Ira Gitler's sleeve notes, too.

We're open today
The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg
Open today from 10h00 — 18h00
Post-Capital: Art and the Economics of the Digital Age
02 Oct 2021 – 16 Jan 2022
Post-Capital brings together works of sculpture, painting, photography, video and performance that address the nature of production, consumption and wealth. Developed within a period of significant change and uncertainty, the exhibition takes as its starting point the inherent paradox within a capitalist system that is both dependent upon and threatened by technological progress.
The exhibition takes its title from a 1993 book, Post-Capitalist Society, which predicted that the impact of information technology on the labour market would be so great that it would ultimately lead to the fall of capitalism by 2020. Published whilst the internet was still in its infancy (Luxembourg, for example, was connected in 1992), it predicted that in the future, knowledge, rather than capital, labour or land ownership, would become the basis for wealth.
Today forms of labour, currency, commodities and the nature of consumption have been dramatically transformed by technologies that continue to evolve. Multinational information technology and e-commerce firms are amongst the highest valued publicly traded companies. Information that is both abundant and infinitely replicable has become a valuable commodity that defies traditional economic principles whereby value is determined by scarcity. Post-Capital presents works by twenty-one artists that variously explore the aesthetics, paradoxes, absurdities and ethical questions posed by post-industrial and perhaps post-capital economies.
A new sculptural installation by Roger Hiorns in the Great Hall features an iconic aircraft encircled by plastic tubing and a system that manifests both terminal stasis and constant flow.
Works by Cao Fei (in the auditorium -1), Simon Denny, Liz Magic Laser and Cameron Rowland (in the galleries on +1) explore the nature of contemporary labour conditions, referring respectively to the phenomenon of the automated logistics centres and warehouses, the gig economy and biometric time clocks. Elsewhere in the first-floor galleries, LED paintings by Ei Arakawa, video installations by Mohamed Bourouissa and Yuri Pattison, and photographs by Shadi Habib Allah feature so-called 'mediums of exchange' from the minting of coins at the Monnaie de Paris to the production of Bitcoin in rural China and the unofficial trade of welfare credit in convenience stores in Miami.
Also on the first floor, other works by the artist collective GCC and Guan Xiao can be seen to respectively address conspicuous consumption or overproduction. Photographs by Josephine Pryde and a specially commissioned mural by Nora Turato consider the evolution of language, communication and selfhood in the smartphone era. Video installations by Martine Syms and Sondra Perry refer to the to the commodification of personal data, raising questions of identity, authenticity and individual sovereignty. Sculptures by Katja Novitskova playfully allude to the emergence of the so-called 'attention economy' in an information-saturated world. A painting by Laura Owens and a series of photographs by Nick Relph conflate digital and analogue media. The former referring to ephemeral print and 20th century advertising and the latter referencing urban gentrification it the 21st century.
Works installed in Mudam's Jardin des Sculptures offer examples of common or collective ownership. Oliver Laric creates copyright-free digital scans of antiquities and other objects from museums all over the world, whilst an installation by Hito Steyerl contrasts the phenomenon of freeports with the ancient notion of common land.
Finally, at an undisclosed location in the museum, the artist Lara Favaretto is hosting a series of 'clandestine talks' on the respective topics of 'surplus', 'power' and 'hacker' that will be livestreamed by Mudam and on her website thinking-head.net.
The exhibition includes a new performance and poster campaign for sites across the city of Luxembourg by Nora Turato. Several works are drawn from Mudam's collection, including GCC's works, which were donated to Mudam in 2015 and 2020 and are presented at the museum for the first time.

Chest pain can range from sharp to dull. It can also spread from the chest to the neck, jaw, and into the arms. There are many different causes of chest pain. The two most life-threatening involve the lungs and the heart. The cause of chest pain may not be serious, but if you are not sure, then it is best to see your physician immediately. While it may not be anything, it is not worth the risk.
Chest pain may feel like a variety of things and can mainly depend on what the cause is. Most of the time, chest pain is not heart related. Symptoms may very often be life-threatening, so seeing your physician is essential. Some common symptoms that may be experienced are: nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness, pain that gets worse with activity, pressure in the chest, trouble swallowing, sour taste in your mouth, or pain that gets worse when coughing or breathing in deeply. You must see your physician immediately if you have unexplained chest pain.
There are many causes of chest pain, and each cause will need medical attention. Chest pain can be lung related. A pulmonary embolism can occur when a blood clot is lodged in the pulmonary artery. Pleurisy occurs when the membrane that covers the lungs is inflamed. When this occurs, chest pain is usually evident when you cough or even when you breathe deeply. Chest pain with a collapsed lung is seen suddenly and will last for hours. Pulmonary hypertension happens when you have high blood pressure in the arteries that take blood to the lungs.
Other causes can be associated with a panic attack, shingles, heart attack, various heart problems, heartburn, swallowing disorders, gallbladder or pancreas problems, and many other muscle and bone problems.
Chest pain does not always mean that you are having a heart attack, however, that is typically the first thing that is tested for. After this, they will likely check for a collapsed lung or a clot in the lungs. Some of the first tests that you will go through are an ECG, which will show if you are having a heart attack. Blood tests may also be ordered to check for proteins in the blood that are typically found in the heart muscle. A chest x-ray will allow for the physicians to see the lungs and the heart. This may show signs of a collapsed lung or pneumonia. A CT scan can show a pulmonary embolism or can help rule out an aortic dissection.
Once this first round of testing is complete, there may be follow up testing that needs to be done. This may include an echocardiogram, which will show the sound waves of the heart. Different types of CT scans may also be done to check heart arteries. A stress test may be done to see how your heart and lungs respond when under stress. An angiogram may help to identify which arteries are being blocked.
Treatment will depend on what the cause of the chest pain is. The most common medications used to treat chest pain include: artery relaxers, aspirin, blood thinners, antidepressants, acid-suppressing medications, or thrombolytic drugs.
There are also many procedures that can happen to treat chest pain. In the situation where someone has a collapsed lung, then can insert a tube into the chest in an effort to inflate the lung again. If an aortic dissection has occurred, then there is an emergency surgery that can happen to repair this. A bypass surgery may help if there is a blocked artery.
You will want to see a physician if any of these symptoms occur without any reason. If you feel that your chest is very tight or even being crushed, then this is an evident sign that something is wrong. You may also feel that this pain is travelling to other body parts, or your blood pressure may drop drastically. In some cases, you will also experience shortness of breath. If you notice that your symptoms get worse after 15 minutes and just feel that something is wrong, then it is time to go to the doctor. This is especially true if you suspect that you are having a heart attack. The physician can then properly diagnose you and get the right treatment going in an effort to avoid serious health problems. While chest pain may be a term that is used very loosely, it should never be ignored. When in doubt, it is best to see your physician to rule out any life-threatening problems that may be occurring.
The best way to prevent chest pain is to look into the causes of chest pain and then see how you can prevent those causes. For example, reflux or GERD is one of the most common causes of chest pain. Some ways to prevent GERD or reflux is to lose weight, avoid foods that cause reflux, eat smaller meals, quit smoking, etc. If your chest pain is caused by blood clots, then ask your physician about implementing an exercise routine. Your physician may also recommend blood thinners. Another cause of chest pain is a collapsed lung, in which you should stop smoking.
No matter the cause of the chest pain, there are multiple things that can be done to help. You must quit smoking immediately. If you have tried to quit in the past, but have been unsuccessful, reach out to your physician and ask for help. Eating properly can also make all the difference. You will want to eat low-fat foods, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise will also help the body. If you are overweight or obese, then you will also need to lose weight. If your chest pain is typically anxiety related, then you will want to find something to do that relaxes you after a stressful day.

By the end of this course, you will have built an understanding of how the Linux kernel interoperates with glibc (and the rest of the binary toolchain). This, in turn, will enlighten your understanding of how various software packages rely on the kernel and glibc to provide interfaces and services, as well as the "why" behind many of the features and idiosyncrasies of the Kernel and glibc.
This is the study guide for the BYOL From Scratch Course.
The slide presentation from the Introduction video.

Q: bcdedit mistake while trying to set up boot to vhd in windows 7. any way to fix this? so yeah i made a mistake in bcdedit when attempting to set up boot to vhd (which i have done 50 times on this box for temporary SP dev env). This time around after I did my routine and restart....nothing after dell splash....so I am guessing I hosed the boot? If I had to guess on what I did this time is after I copied the current entry for the new GUID, I didn't run my /set cmds on the new GUID :(
Is there anyway to correct this or am I just completely done with the original OS? That would be pretty awful, so I am hoping there is some crazy work around to get it back?
windows 7
appreciated as always

A: Boot from the Windows DVD, go to the Repair Options and let Windows fix the issues. You can also use Bootrec to fix the MBR and BCD:
