Sermon at the Evening Service on the Last Sunday after Trinity 2019
We are called to be reconciled to one another.
The Reverend Dr Tony Kyriakides Priest Vicar
Sunday, 27th October 2019 at 6.30 PM
Behind this Abbey Church, outside Parliament and around College Green, ordinary people have been demonstrating and hurling abuse which has overflowed from verbal onslaughts into physical intimidation. While, ostensibly, the cause of this dissension and divide has been laid at the door of Brexit, it is far more complex than this country's future relationship with its European neighbours.
Admittedly, Remainers and Leavers have become deeply entrenched, each furious that what they voted for has not been delivered and each seeking to attribute blame. More worryingly, the 2016 UK referendum challenged the heart of the Westminster model of government by legitimising popular sovereignty as a new democratic norm, straining the relationship between the people and parliament. Parliament has been portrayed as 'the enemy of the people', with the Prime Minister, himself, claiming that 'If parliament were a laptop, then the screen would be showing the pizza wheel of doom. If parliament were a school, Ofsted would be shutting it down. If parliament were a reality TV show the whole lot of us would have been voted out of the jungle by now.'
A few weeks ago, the Archbishop of Canterbury reminded us that there is no single Christian view on Brexit and, in disagreement, 'we must find better language... that helps us remove the bitterness and prioritise each other's dignity and humanity.' Today, on the front page of a national newspaper, the Archbishop speaks once again about the use of language and, in a rare rebuke of a sitting Prime Minister, denounces the use of 'inflammatory' language which runs the risk of pouring 'petrol' on this nation's divisions over Brexit, a nation that is now 'quite broken'.
The Church is all too familiar with the catastrophic and, at times, violent consequences of schism and, frequently, her different factions (East and West, Catholic and Reformed) have failed to be reconciled despite the fact that reconciliation is central to a life underwritten by the gospel. In other words, humankind reconciled with God through the sacrificial life of Christ, the one who takes the place of the 'other' and transforms the wrath of vengeance into the mercy of forgiveness (de Gruchy). This, in turn, we, as followers of Christ, are called to model as peacemakers striving for reconciliation with one another. If you want a manual for reconciliation, look no further than Matthew's gospel where in three of its chapters (five, six and seven) we have the beatitudes as well as reflections on anger, retaliation, love of enemies, making judgements and much more.
Given the political schism of Brexit that has divided families, friends and communities, how might relationships be restored and the integrity of communities re-established?
An iconic story of reconciliation can be found in the book of Genesis between two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Their reconciliation takes place against a backdrop of Jacob's subterfuge and his betrayal of his brother twenty years earlier, when he had stolen Esau's birthright. Esau furious at his brother's deception had made murderous threats against Jacob which forced the hand of their mother, Rebecca. She had been complicit in Jacob's fraudulent behaviour, and now she sent Jacob (clearly her favourite son) to live with her brother Laban where Jacob was received with great warmth.
Fast forward twenty years later and it is a very different story. Jacob has accrued livestock and property and it is this prosperity that strains the relationship with Laban and Laban's sons, and, subsequently, reveals how devious Laban can be. Both in giving his daughters in marriage to Jacob and in transferring livestock to him, Laban shows that he is not to be trusted. Enough is enough and, commanded by God, Jacob sets out for his ancestral home, Canaan, without telling Laban.
This, of course, is not without its own risks for he will have to pass through Edom, territory that belongs to his brother Esau. After their long estrangement I doubt whether Jacob would have relished the prospect of meeting Esau. Having usurped Esau's inheritance and blessing, would Esau carry out his threat to kill Jacob?
'Jacob went on his way, and God's angels met him' (Gen.32:1). What might the angels have said to Jacob? No matter for perhaps it was the encounter itself which motivated Jacob to think long and hard on that relationship with his brother; to acknowledge his scheming, his deception and his manipulation in order to repent of his wrongdoing. It was a metanoia moment, a New Testament word that means much more that repent but rather a transformative change of heart, to face a new direction, to turn towards the light.
For us, this evening, what might we learn from such a reconciliation?
First, that deceit can never be the basis of a healthy relationship. Trickery enabled Jacob to get on in the world. That was how he gained his father's blessing and increased his wealth in dealings with Laban. Yet, Jacob was also the victim of deceit and ended up with a wife he didn't really want or love. Relationships, which are intent on deception and manipulation, can only be harmful and destructive.
Second, that dishonest conduct is not without consequences or, as Paul writes in his letter to the Galatians, 'you reap whatever you sow' (Galatians 6:7). Jacob was deceitful, he married into a deceitful family – perhaps you recall that when Jacob escaped from Laban, his wife, Rachel, stole household objects belonging to her father and refused to confess that she had taken them – and his children proved equally deceitful (for as adults they sold their brother Joseph into slavery and lied to their father about what they had done). Toxic patterns of behaviour tend to be mirrored not only by family members but by others with whom we work most closely. Modelling right behaviour, demonstrating trust, generosity, humility, and openness creates a foundation for building healthy relationships and a strong community.
Third, as Jacob nears home, he has a growing awareness that he cannot control all that happens in the world, despite his best (or worst) efforts. After a restless night in which he wrestles with God, Jacob demonstrates a sincere desire to be reconciled to his brother. Jacob knows he had done wrong and now he knows he has to make it right. He has to take the first step. We may think that time heals all wounds, but it only moves the pain below the surface where it can fester and damage future relationships. No matter how much he might repent of past actions, Jacob may not be accepted and embraced by his brother.
In this situation, though, God has been working in Esau's life. The previously humiliated brother has not become bitter. He has not wasted his life, ruminating about how things might have been different had his brother not deceived their father and made away with his birthright. Instead, Esau has got on with his life, perhaps making peace with God for the mistake of so easily trading his inheritance for a bowl of soup. Whatever, Esau gladly welcomes his brother Jacob, and from this there is the simple lesson that we should avoid bitterness (no matter how richly deserved), offer forgiveness, and seek reconciliation if we want to live in a community of wellbeing.
Like Esau, God has come to us through his Son, Jesus Christ, embracing us, calling us sister and brother, and reminding us that as God has forgiven you and me, we, in our turn, are to forgive those who have hurt us. More than that: just as God has reconciled us to himself, so, too, we are called to be reconciled to one another.

Whether you work for a large, multi-national publicly traded company, a small private company, an academic institution or a government agency, stakeholders are increasingly demanding disclosure of your organization's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance information. From financial markets to customers to local government agencies, the demand for ESG information is broad and rippling through entire global supply chains. The growing interest in ESG information has resulted in a burgeoning group of entities that collect, evaluate and disseminate your ESG data with or without your involvement. Organizations need to prioritize and respond to the myriad of requests, as well as ensure data accuracy and transparency.
This program provided an overview of the growing trends in this field, presented the strategic business case for greater ESG disclosure, and demonstrated how influential stakeholders are using such information.

One of the last of Halo's old guard is finally putting down the sticks, and moving on to a new chapter in his life. Today Tom "Ogre 2" Ryan announced that he is retiring from competitive play. This marks the end of a very long and accomplished gaming career for the 29 year old player that spans a whopping 13 years.
Ogre 2 began his competitive Halo career with who else – Ogre 1 – his twin brother Dan as a member of StK (Shoot to Kill). The team placed first at the Halo50k tournament in Atlanta, GA in August of 2003. From there, the Ogre Twins began to forge their incredible history in competitive Halo, most notably in 2v2 tournaments where the pair consistently dominated the competition.
In 2006, the pair became one half of the legendary Final Boss team with Team 3D teammates Walshy and Saiyan. That lineup won four major tournaments in a row in 2006, and though the other teammates would change, from 2006 through 2008 the team racked up ten first place finishes at major tournaments, meaning they won half of all of the major money tournaments during that two year period. Towards the back half of 2008 the team went into decline, and Ogre 1 opted to leave the team, and retired later that year.
Ogre 2 continued to play, eventually winning 40 championships and managing to win at least one event with six different teams. In March 2014, Ogre 2 announced his first retirement. Ryan made his return for Halo 2: Anniversary, and reformed StK with Heinz, Snakebite, and Royal2.
Most recently, Ogre 2 (also simply known as the GOAT) played under well known organizations like Counter Logic Gaming, Team EnVyUs and Denial.
@TomRyanOGRE2 You were one of the players I looked up to as I began competing. I'm proud to have won an event with you. Good luck, Tom!
. @TomRyanOGRE2 You've left a hell of a legacy behind. I'm happy to have been there from the start. Best of luck on your next adventure.
.@TomRyanOGRE2 You and your bro are what got me interested in esports in the first place. Good luck in whatever you take on next!
@TomRyanOGRE2 btw you were one of the first pros I started playing with in H2 and one of my only inspirations, I appreciate it.
@TomRyanOGRE2 You left a mark in the scene that will never repeated. The true GOAT. Best of luck in whatever you do my man.

India unveils world's tallest statue
India Block | 1 November 2018 Leave a comment
A 182-metre-high monument created by Michael Graves Architecture and Design, which is four times the size of the Statue of Liberty, has been officially inaugurated in Gujarat state, India.
The Statue of Unity is nearly 50 storeys tall, and together with its three-level base measures 240 metres, making it the world's tallest statue. Designed by Indian sculptor Ram V Sutar, the statue was made from scrap metal collected from around the country and is clad in bronze that will patina over time.
The structure, which took four years to build, required a total of 210,000 cubic metres of cement, 25,000 tonnes of steel and 1,700 tonnes of bronze and cost 29.8 billion rupees (£314 million), estimated the Guardian.
Lifts going up to a 153-metre-high viewing platform will be able to transport up to 15,000 tourists a day when the attraction opens on 3 November 2018.
A post shared by Kunj Dødiya (@kunjdodiya) on Oct 19, 2018 at 2:46am PDT
The towering sculpture depicts founding father of the Republic of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Patel, who was born in Gujarat, was a key player in India's struggle for independence and instrumental in uniting it as one nation after the country freed itself from British colonial rule in 1947.
"As you can imagine with a project of this scale and level of complexity, there were several challenges to overcome," James Wisniewski, principal of Michael Graves Architecture & Design and project leader on the Statue of Unity told Dezeen.
"One of the challenges was to create the statue in the walking pose while balancing the programmatic layout and function of the building's core and structure. Luckily, Sardar Patel wore a traditional Indian dhoti of draped fabric, which allowed our team to design the elevator towers in a staggered fashion while giving the proper external appearance," he added.
"However, with sandal-clad feet and exposed ankles, the statue is thinner at the base than at upper levels, the opposite of what is typically done."
A post shared by Scroll.in (@scroll_in) on Oct 31, 2018 at 6:15am PDT
Two reinforced concrete cores containing the lifts form the centre of the statue, with two mass dampeners at chest height to control the sway in high winds and protect the statue during earthquakes.
A steel space frame is attached to this core, from which the 22,000 square metres of individually formed bronze panels creating the sculpture's shape were hung. The sculpture's "skin" weighs over 2,000 tons.
Along with the world's tallest statue, the complex includes an exhibition hall in the base of the statue topped by a memorial garden, a visitor centre and guest lodgings, a pedestrian and road bridge connecting the statue's river island to the mainland, and a 2 mile road to the town of Kevadia.
"Part of the innovations of this project included the dynamic design and installation process which in essence celebrated the unity of India," said Wisniewski.
Scrap iron was collected from around the country, in reference to Patel's nickname of India's "Iron Man". Earth was also collected from all the country's states and districts to form a rammed earth wall backdrop to the flag, and the base, visitor centre and landscaping uses locally quarried stone.

Speaking at the opening on 31 October 2018, Indian prime minister Narendra Modi said the statue was a rebuttal to those "who question the existence of India" and stood as a symbol of the country's "engineering and technical prowess".
As part of the ceremony helicopters dropped flower petals, flotillas of balloons in the tricolour of the Indian flag were launched, and Indian Air Force jets did a flypast trailing coloured orange, green and white smoke.
Protesters are claiming that the local families who were moved to make way for the monument were not compensated for the loss of land, something the Indian government denies, and that community leaders were arrested ahead of the opening.
Today is a day that will be remembered in the history of India.

The Statue of Unity won't hold the title of world's tallest statue for very long. A 212-metre high statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji, India's 17th century warrior king, astride a horse is planned to open in 2020 off the coast of Mumbai.
Originally the Shivaji monument was due to be just 208 metres, but the design was revised to add some extra height on when it transpired that China's Spring Temple Buddha in Henan was getting an extra pedestal added to make it 208 metres, too.
New York City's statue of Liberty, built from copper in 1886, is just 47 metres high and sits on a 46 metre base. In South Dakota a mountain carving process has been underway since 1948 to create a 172-metre sculpture of Lakota warrior chief Crazy Horse.

This year has been a pivotal year for the MetabERN patient community.
We successfully managed to create the Patient Board, which represents 44 patient groups established in 17 European member states across all disease areas covered by MetabERN. Given the vast heterogeneity of the diseases, we are very proud of this result: for the very first time we are bringing all these voices together to develop a common patient vision for MetabERN. We have therefore formed a Patient Steering Committee that will work hand-in-hand with the Medical Steering Committee to ensure that MetabERN is a truly person-centered European Reference Network.
To succeed in our intent, we believe the importance of being transparent, inclusive and participative. For this reason, we have nominated Single Points of Contact for the 9 Work Packages and 8 Subnetworks and are eager to involve anyone else who would like to play an active role. Now that a sound governance structure is in place, we are developing an Action Plan that will be discussed at the next Patient Steering and Executive Committees Meeting on 12 January in Brussels.
We really look forward to having this important moment of exchange and will make sure that we keep everyone informed about the outcomes. If you are interested in learning more about our plans or want to get more involved, please feel free to contact Lut De Baere at lut@boks.be and Anne Hugon at ahugon@wanadoo.fr.

Der Runenstein von Fåberg (N 59, ), steht bei der Fåberg kirke in Fåberg bei Lillehammer im Fylke Innlandet in Norwegen. Der Runenstein ist vermutlich ein Bautastein aus der späten Eisenzeit, der am Ende der Wikingerzeit um 1000 n. Chr. mit Runen versehen wurde. Der fast zylindrische Stein ist etwa drei Meter hoch und zwanzig bis dreißig Zentimeter dick.

Die rechtsläufige Inschrift im jüngeren Futhark zeigt Kurzzweigrunen, wobei die s-Rune in punktierter Variante  mit kreisförmigem Abschluss geritzt wurde. Diese besondere Form der s-Rune erscheint in norwegischen Inschriften des Weiteren in den Inschriften von Klepp I, Vang und Søgne.

 × ruar : raisti : stain : þ(a)n(o) : (a)(f)(t)ir : a(l)(u)i : faþur : sin ·
 "Hróarr reisti stein þenna eptir Ôlvi, fôður sinn."
 "Hróarr errichtet diesen Stein nach Olve, seinem Vater."

Im Jahre 1775 wurden drei Menhire gefunden, wovon einige Jahre später nur dieser übrigblieb. Der zerbrochene Stein wurde zur ursprünglichen Größe zusammengesetzt. Der obere Teil wurde im Jahre 1879 in einem Graben neben der Kirche gefunden. Der mehrfach versetzte Stein stand zeitweise in einem Park der Stadt Lillehammer. 1928 kam er zu seinem ursprünglichen Platz neben dem Friedhof zurück.

Eine Legende berichtet von einem Troll in einem Berg in der Nähe, der den Stein auf die Fåberg-Kirche werfen wollte, sie aber verfehlte. Der Fåbergstein wurde von der obersten Denkmalschutzbehörde Riksantikvaren als Denkmal registriert und unter Schutz gestellt.

Q: Prolog- return index of an element I have been stumped for 3 hours now on this problem, I need to find the index of (A,B,C) where A is the index positions of B in list C (or -1 if not in the list). This is what I have so far,
indexof(A,0,[A|_]).
indexof(A,B,[_|C]):- Y is B-1, indexof(A,Y,C).

it gives the element at the index spot B, which is not what I want.
indexof(A,1,[1]).

should return A=0;A=-1.
I am horrible at Prolog, I've done Java my whole life, so please also provide explanations.

A: You can use the builtin predicate nth1/3 which can be used directly to achieve what you want.
indexof(Index, Item, List):-
  nth1(Index, List, Item).
indexof(-1, _, _).

[edited after OP rephrased question]
The first clause enumerates the index of the item in the list, and the second clause just unifies Index with -1 per OP requirement.

A: Try the following
indexof(A,0,[A|_]).
indexof(_,-1,[]).
indexof(A,D,[_|C]):- indexof(A,B,C), B > -1, D is B+1.
indexof(A,D,[_|C]):- indexof(A,B,C), B = -1, D is B.

You needed to have the base case for [] and the increment logic for -1 as well

Are Psychics Real? You May Be Shocked
Psychics have existed since the dawn of time. They have given people advice supposedly from the spiritual realm and claimed to communicate with trees, animals, and long-deceased people since before written history.
However, with advancements in science and philosophy, skeptics have long asked:
Are Psychics Real?
Egypt, an early civilization, had mediums who consulted the gods of the Nile. The Ancient Egyptian culture entombed pharaohs in pyramids to gain wisdom and advice on ruling their people, and their advancements were no joke.
Archaeologists still find these divine messages today in the interiors of Egypt's massive pyramids, shrines, and tombs.
The Bible, Quran, and Vedas all described people consulting clairvoyants, diviners, and necromancers—sometimes to disastrous consequences, as in Saul's case in 1 Samuel in the Bible.
Psychics have different names in different cultures, but the root of their existence reflects humanity's curiosity about the future.
No matter how powerful you are, there are no assurances in life, and the future is almost always uncertain.
All anyone can do is try to prepare for the future however they can—sometimes, they attempt to change the future by asking the spirits or the stars to turn destiny in their favor.
Are You Looking Ahead?
Even though people visit psychics for all kinds of reasons, getting a consultation is often a proactive or a reactive measure to a critical event in someone's life.
Nobody comes to a psychic for no good reason—just as no one visits a doctor unless they need a checkup or they are not feeling well.
People consult psychics in hopes of turning luck their way—to improve their chances on a first date or the lottery.
Alternately, sometimes they visit these oracles out of fear, such as when planning to fly on a plane for the first time, leaving them scared out of their wits.
Uncertainty can sometimes be an unbearable burden, but thanks to the seeming extrasensory abilities of psychics, clairvoyants, and mediums, people have always believed they had a chance to alleviate it.
People today can still consult psychics about anything and everything—and with the power of the internet now in the 21st century, a psychic is available 24/7 if you feel like talking.
Studying the Psychic Phenomenon
Psychics have always intrigued people.
The practices of communicating with the afterlife, extrasensory perception, and mind-reading have been subjects of study and debate within the scientific community for centuries.
Sigmund Freud, the father of modern psychology, studied psychic abilities and wrote a book about them titled Parapsychology.
He concluded that psychic powers do exist. In his theory, they come from the libido, the part of all humans responsible for the drive to create life and derive pleasure from various activities.
William James, one of America's foremost intellectuals in psychology and philosophy, was one of the most significant scientific heavyweights who studied psychics and mediums.
He was among the first people to venture into hypnosis and the subconscious, but he was perhaps best known for his work with Leonora Piper.
The two conducted séances in Cambridge, and the resulting records would become seminal achievements that skeptics, fellow philosophers, and psychologists would study well into the 21st century.
Hugo Münsterberg
Hugo Münsterberg, one of the pioneers of applied, forensic, and industrial psychology, also took psychic phenomena seriously enough to do a deep dive into their practitioners.
He set out to discredit the charlatans of his time and purified the practice of mediumship in the process.
His academic mentee, William Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, later published comic books that would feature characters with many psychic powers.
At the turn of the century, scientists respected psychics deeply enough to look into their endeavors and sincerely question whether there is an afterlife or if people can indeed be born with extrasensory perception.
Today, we see many people with gifted minds, and the intelligence quotients of these select few still baffle modern psychologists.
With that in mind, is it such a giant leap to propose that some people may be born with advanced levels of perception?
Even though psychic phenomena—along with the concept of faith, true love, and theism—are falling out of favor in the public mind, many celebrities, business people, and scientists still exist who take them seriously.
Daryl Bem, Professor of Psychology Emeritus at Cornell University
in 2010, Cornell University put out a study showing that humans have some psychic powers. "It took eight years and nine experiments with more 1,000 participants, but the results offer evidence that humans have some ability to anticipate the future.", says Daryl Bem, professor of psychology emeritus, who was in charge of the study.
Bem said he conducted the experiments because he believed that existing research strongly implied that precognition is real. "I went in optimistic that I would be able to find it with these experiments," he said. "After I started getting positive results, my undergraduate research team seemed puzzled by my enthusiasm and said, 'But didn't you tell us you thought these would work?'
"I said yes, but when I actually see them work, that's very different."
Why Are Psychics Not Taken As Seriously Today?
Nearly every religion in the world has a deity to which their followers ascribe control over everything.
The Judeo-Christian West is an excellent example because, even though Jews and Christians technically believe in the same God, they credit Him with different levels of control over people.
A majority of Americans say they believe that God controls everything and that He is also responsible for the proliferation of evil, which they say exists so people can live a meaningful existence.
The Role of Religion
What does this have to with psychics, you ask? People visit psychics to influence events they can't control, and they visit mediums to communicate with people who are no longer alive.
Both these practices go directly against the belief systems of mainstream religions, most notably Christianity.
This has caused many devout Christian believers to condemn psychics outright. However, throughout history, some theologians and philosophers have found ways of reconciling psychics and mediums with their religions, even though their voices have often fallen on deaf ears.
Because religion was the predecessor to science in explaining the way the world works, much of the stigma surrounding psychics comes from a combination of religious people and scientists who champion a particular worldview.
This persecution dates back centuries but came to a head in the modern world starting in the 1960s when the New Age movement gained traction.
The ensuing 1970s was when many religious groups began to condemn bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Ramones for suspected connections with the devil and the so-called Illuminati. It's not hard to find contemporary videos on YouTube accusing artists like Ariana Grande, Jay-Z, and Justin Bieber of the same.
Modern People "Believe in Psychics, But …"
Today, there is no clear scientific consensus on the reality of extrasensory perception or the afterlife, and people are still studying these topics daily.
In a 2002 poll, the Gallup Organization discovered that 41% of Americans believed in ESP, 31% in psychic communication and telepathy, and 26% believed in clairvoyance.
These are significant percentages in a country dominated by Christianity, but where atheism and agnosticism are on the rise—and a good sign that taking care of their spiritual well-being is still a priority for many Americans.
Even though a significant percentage of America's population believes in psychics, they are still not taken as seriously as they were in the early 1900s, for three main reasons: Hollywood materialism, persecution from religious groups, and the growing trend of cynicism.
As portrayed in Hollywood films, spirits are always violent and disturbed, most of the time serving as metaphors for economic issues. Concepts like genuine romance, optimism, and strong bonds with friends and family are also becoming obscured in the cynical American psyche.
Should You Consult With A Psychic?
Life is a series of decisions, and those decisions can lead to good or bad outcomes. By and large, you are responsible for where you end up in life, but there are still many factors you can't control.
Where you're born, the college major you choose, your religious upbringing, and your gender will all play significant roles in your life.
Now more than ever, it's essential to gather as much information about the factors influencing your life as you can before making a decision.
Below is a list of psychic abilities you may enjoy learning about before you decide to consult a psychic.

Empaths are emotionally perceptive and can root out the causes of your depression and anxiety in only a few readings.
They won't prescribe you pharmaceuticals, but they might help you get to the chief cause of your emotional problems.
Mediums can talk to the dead and sense your spiritual energy.
If you have a loved one who recently passed away and you want to hear their voice again, you might see a professional medium.
Clairvoyants, Clairaudients, and Clairsentients
Clairvoyants have extrasensory perception through sight, clairaudients through hearing, and clairsentients through feeling.
Some psychics can give you hints about your future from a combination of all three.
Dream Analysts
People have postulated for ages that dreams are the universe's way of communicating with us.
Dream analysts can tell you about your future by decoding messages hidden in your dreams.
Remote viewers can see things and people beyond the bounds of their eyesight. If you've ever wondered what an old friend is up to these days, a remote viewer may be able to give you a status update by "seeing" him or her directly.
These psychics use tarot cards, selected from a deck where they can be arranged in an infinite number of combinations, to help you clarify what you want today, your fears, and what may be going well for you or against you in the future.
Telepaths
Some psychics can relay information to another person using just their minds. It's like the movie Inception but without dreaming.
Tell your psychic what you want to say and who you want to say it to, then he or she may be able to send your message right away.

Clairsentient Meaning, Do You Show Signs of Clairsentience?


Saint Demetrius, Metropolitan of Rostov (in the world Daniel Savvich Tuptalo), was born in December 1651 in the locale of Makarovo, not far from Kiev. He was born into a pious family and grew up a deeply believing Christian. In 1662, soon after his parents resettled to Kiev, Daniel was sent to the Kiev-Mogilyansk college, where the gifts and remarkable abilities of the youth were first discovered. He successfully learned the Greek and Latin languages and the entire series of classical sciences. On July 9,1668 Daniel accepted monastic tonsure with the name Demetrius, in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. Prior to the spring of 1675 he progressed through the monastic obediences at Kiev's Kirillov monastery, where he began his literary and preaching activity.
The Archbishop of Chernigov Lazar (Baranovich) ordained Demetrius as hieromonk on May 23, 1675. For several years Hieromonk Demetrius lived as an ascetic and preached the Word of God at various monasteries and churches in the Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus. It was while he was Igumen of the Maximov monastery,and later the Baturinsk Nikol'sk monastery, in 1684 he was summoned to the Kiev Caves Lavra. The Superior of the Lavra, Archimandrite Barlaam (Yasinsky), knowing the high spiritual disposition of his former disciple, his education, his proclivity for scientific work, and also his undoubted literary talent, entrusted the hieromonk Demetrius with organizing the MENAION, the Lives of the Saints for the whole year.
From this time, all the rest of Saint Demetrius's life was devoted to the fulfilling of this ascetic work, grandiose in its scope. The work demanded an enormous exertion of strength, since it necessitated the gathering and analyzing of a multitude of various sources and to expound them in a fluent language, worthy of the lofty subject of exposition and at the same time accessible to all believers. Divine assistance did not abandon the saint for his twenty year labor.
According to the testimony of Saint Demetrius himself, his soul was filled with impressions of the saints, which strengthened him both in spirit and body, and they encouraged faith in the felicitous completion of his noble task. At this time, the venerable Demetrius was head of several monasteries (in succession).
The works of the ascetic brought him to the attention of Patriarch Adrian. In 1701, by decree of Tsar Peter I, Archimandrite Demetrius was summoned to Moscow, where on March 23 at the Dormition cathedral of the Kremlin he was consecrated as Metropolitan of the Siberian city of Tobolsk. But after a certain while, because of the importance of his scientific work and the frailty of his health, the saint received a new appointment to Rostov-Yaroslavl, and on March 1, 1702 assumed his duties as Metropolitan of Rostov.
Just as before, he continued to be concerned about the strengthening of the unity of the Russian Orthodox Church, weakened by the "Old Believers" schism.
From his inspired works and preachings many generations of Russian theologians drew spiritual strength for creativity and prayer. He remains an example of a saintly, ascetic, non-covetous life for all Orthodox Christians. Upon his death on October 28, 1709, it was discovered that he had few possessions, except for books and manuscripts.
The glorification of Saint Demetrius, Metropolitan of Rostov, took place on April 22, 1757. He is also remembered on September 21, the day of the uncovering of his holy relics.

Name Passenger Car, Lightweight, Budd Full Dome Lounge
Region North America
Category Rail
Type Passenger Car
SubType Streamlined/Lightweight
Variety Budd, Full-Dome Lounge
Manufacturer Budd (Details)
Era Era III: Transition (1939 - 1957)
History: In the post-war period, passenger rail service boomed. In order to increase efficiency, the railroads set to replacing their old wood, steel and concrete heavyweight passenger cars with newer lightweight, streamlined cars. The new cars were made from stainless steel, aluminum and Cor-Ten steel. These cars required less motive power to pull and were cheaper to manufacture. Production was also concentrated in a few manufacturers rather than each railroad making its own. This led to standardization which further reduced costs. The new "lightweight" cars were also given "streamlined" designs to make them more visually appealing. Budd, Pullman Standard and ACF were all well known manufacturers of these cars.
Budd was well known for their corrugated cars (for which they held a patent). When Burlington inaugurated its vista-domed Kansas City and American Royal Zephyrs on the Chicago-Kansas City route, the Santa Fe responded by ordering full-length domes for several trains serving the same route. Although Pullman, which manufactured the Milwaukee Super Domes, proposed to make similar cars for the Santa Fe, the railroad turned instead to Budd to build its "Big Domes."
Other than being fluted stainless steel rather than painted, the Big Domes superficially appear almost identical to Milwaukee's Super Domes, but a close look reveals several differences. Upstairs, rather than arrange all the seats in coach formation, the rear part of the car had 18 lounge seats allowing for parties of three to eight to sit together. With the 57 coach-like seats, the dome had total seating for 75 (as opposed to 68 in the Super Domes)–more than three domes of the Kansas City Zephyr and American Royal Zephyr combined.
Railroad/Company:
The Budd Company was a 20th-century metal fabricator, a major supplier of body components to the automobile industry and a manufacturer of stainless steel passenger rail cars, airframes, missile and space vehicles, various defense products.
Budd was founded in 1912 in Philadelphia by Edward G. Budd, whose fame came from his development of the first all-steel automobile bodies in 1913 and, in the 1930s, his company's invention of the "shotweld" technique for joining pieces of stainless steel without damaging its anti-corrosion properties.
Budd Company became part of Budd Thyssen in 1978 and in 1999 a part of ThyssenKrupp Budd. Body and chassis operations were sold to Martinrea International in 2006. No longer an operating company, Budd filed for bankruptcy in 2014. It currently exists to provide benefits to its retirees.

A Conversation With Steelheart Vocalist Miljenko Matijevic
By Jeff Gaudiosi June 14, 2022 No Comments17 Mins Read
Steelheart was a rising hard rock band in the early 1990s when tragedy struck. Vocalist Miljenko Matijevic rose from that tragedy to continue the band and now has released a very special track called "Trust In Love" as a message of peace to the world. Miljenko recently took some time to talk about this unique new song and the band's career.
Please press the PLAY icon for the MisplacedStraws Conversation with Miljenko Matijevic –
On writing "Trust In Love" based on his time in Korea – Steelheart has been going to Korea, I've been going to Korea, since 1989, and "She's Gone" is still the number one karaoke song in Korea today. It's unbelievable. By the way, thank you, I'm honored. I've lived there for a little while and worked there, I have friends there, and I know that feeling, the energy, and the connection. One day I was watching the news and there was just so much, I just couldn't put together why the country is separated. You got people from Korea, from South Korea with families in North Korea, they don't see each other. Could you imagine being separate and you can't go? It's awful. Anyway, so also watching the news and it's like, "We're gonna bomb this and we're gonna do this", and all these threats, then the human trafficking and the kids trafficking, and I was like, "Oh God". I don't know, so I went by the piano and I just started writing the song and said, "Let me write a song for the unification of people", and immediately "Trust in Love" just came through, "trust in love, trust in peace, I can't live until I know I'm free". It just wrote itself. So I followed basically whatever is guiding me through and I just followed the spirits and I wrote the song in English, of course, then we translated it into Korean. When I finished it in Korean and I was like, "Well, you know, this could be a nice unification for my country too", we went through a horrible separation and I was like, "Well, let me sing it in Croatian", so I translated in Croatian and sang in Croatian. I finished that, I was like, "Wow, the energy is pretty big here, so maybe I should sing it in Italian, it's only across the Channel". I don't know, I felt like I was Pavarotti, it so easily came to me. So when I finished Italian, it was like, "Well, I gotta sing it in the second most biggest language in the world. I gotta sing Spanish", so I sang it in Spanish, then Portuguese. Then I was like, "What other country can I sing in? I know, Chinese", so I did Mandarin, Hindi, and Japanese. I also sang it in Russian. I look forward to releasing that because I think they could really use it, I think they can use it more than anyone, and it escalated into 10. I gotta finish working on the Swedish, I'm working on the German, working on the French, and then most definitely, I wanna do Arabic as well, and I'll keep going. It doesn't matter, I'll keep doing as many languages as possible. It just grew and the song, it just has a soul of its own, it really does. The song wasn't written. how would I say, in a way for me to have this big world hit and I'm the guy and saving the world, that's not what it's about. It's done from the heart, it's done with a peaceful love energy, and it's just guided me through this journey that has just been unbelievable from creating the song during the pandemic, it's been two years in the making, by the way, so everyone knows this is not something that I'm jumping on a bandwagon with love and respect for the horrible things that are happening in Ukraine. I kinda guess I foreseed or something, came to me early here before this all happened, and the way I started as I wanted, I needed to have a big chorus, and I had this chorus plan, I had a choir plan, we were gonna record it, we had kids, we had everything all set up here in Orange County, and it all fell through when the pandemic hit. So I was thinking, "Well, how was it supposed to happen?", \raise my hand and say "Let it happen". I was like, "Oh, here's how we're gonna do it". So I sang the chorus, and I put the lyrics of the chorus on my website, and I put it to my fans on Instagram and Facebook and everything, I said, "Hey, please sing the course and send me in your vocal. We're doing this world peace, beautiful song. don't care how you sound, please just send me your energy and your love". So I got about close to 350 people who sent in their vocal, they're all in the chorus. They're all in there, and some weren't as good as others, but it didn't matter, it was the passion and the way they sang it with love. You could just hear that they're going for it, that's what I wanted. It really reflected on the chorus and really showed the energy and the unification of bringing people together. That's the purpose of the song, is putting people together and raising our vibration to a new level of thinking. So after that, then we did a 40-piece orchestra in Macedonia for the strings, then on to other things as well, video and all of that. 1:11
On if he learned the languages or sang phonetically – No, no. It's gotta be both. I can't sing something, I don't know what I'm talking about, that is just out of the question. I would go through the lyrics with them and so, let's say I did with Liang in China, Beijing. She was in Beijing, so I said, "Hey, okay. So why don't you translate it?" And she translates it. "Okay, now let's talk about it. Tell me what exactly this means, ooh, okay, well, let's change that. Can you say this? Oh yeah, that would sound better. Okay, can we say this, it would sing better?" So it takes time to really put the dots in place. Then once we got that I would have them sing a rough form, even if they wouldn't sing the melody, right, at least they would sing the words correctly. Then I would listen very carefully and I would sing the words phonetically, so to speak. Exactly. And then we would go deep into the details, and that's where it's really important, and it was really important for me. So this message that I'm trying to give about, that's why all these languages. Because I wanted to show respect to each country. If you didn't understand it in English, let me say it to you in your language, that kind of thing. But the nuances that are so important. There's little subtleties in every language, so you don't sound like an American trying to sing Hindi, we don't want that. And I really, really put the time and the energy and the focus to do it to its utmost top level where people cannot tell that it's an American trying to sing a different language. 7:34
On the video – Okay, so the whole video, I had a vision, what I wanted to do, it came scattered in different parts, but what I did know is that I wanted an opening with a dialogue. I was trying to find a perfect place to do that, and then I found the Korean Friendship Bell. So when I started back in the song, I said, "Well, let me go back to the original thought of putting the peninsula together with love". So I said, "Let me bring the heritage in of Korean people, let me bring back their past where they started, where the love was, what they wore back in the day", That's when I found the Bell. So I called the Korean culture here in LA, and we had dinner, and also the director of the Park. I told him, "Hey, I wanna shoot this video at the park there, I'd like to do an opening dialogue with me and the director coming and striking this bell, ring through the world for peace". We did that, and we had this amazing meal, and after the meal, we're all hugging and kissing, we're gonna make this video then they opened their hearts and said, "Whatever you need, whatever you need". I also wanted some dancers, and I picked them out, there's different styles of clothes and different styles of dancing, and these girls did an absolutely phenomenal job. There's one mistake I made. There's so many things on, and I really regret that I didn't film them alone, just with the music, doing that dance. Because everything was so rushed, there was so much going on, the production was huge, it's like every minute is really accounted for, we barely got all the shots we got. So I think maybe that's why it didn't happen, but anyway, and I just have this vision. I also had the vision of the little girl, I wanted a little girl holding a flower, singing the chorus, showing the innocence of what we're doing when we're hurting our younger generation. If we all die tomorrow, a lot of us already have lived quite a bit, but they haven't, so I wanted to show the innocence and it just escalated. I wanted the choir, we had to show the choir, and that's why we brought it all into the Warner Grand Theater and we have everyone there singing, all the people that came together, just the orchestra, the choir, the dancers, all the crew, Bobby. I got Bobby, I connected with Bobby Altman. As soon we met, we were like, "Okay, we're done, get over here and give me a hug". Yes, Robert is also a director, and he's done so many amazing movies and TV shows including film some of his own dad's movies. So it was over 700 people that came together on this video, that's a lot of people to make a video and a song. I don't know what all to say. So it took me, I'm only hanging on to keep going and do what I'm supposed to do. I'm the messenger now. 10:09
On how he delt with Steelheart's success with the debut record – It wasn't sudden steel, Steelheart was painstaking. I'll tell you this, it really was. We were rehearsing for years in Norwalk, Connecticut, and rehearsing and rehearsing. It was like, "Oh my God if I rehearse one more day, I don't know what's gonna happen", and then finally we got signed, and then when we got signed, we made a record, and then when we made a record we sat for nine months. They just shelved it. Didn't do anything with it. Not sure what to do with it, I guess, kind of thing. I don't know what they were thinking. But then in Japan, "She's Gone" exploded. Masa Itoh was a very influential DJ at the time, he played the song once on the radio on his show, and he got over 2500 phone calls, literally insanity. So my manager said, "We're going to Japan to do some press, some stuff". He didn't tell me exactly what was going on, and when we landed, I got off the plane, it was 300-400 people waiting for me. Fans at the airport, it was like, this is crazy, coming from rehearsing into that, it was just like, "Whoa". It was really intense. Anyway, so I did some amazing interviews and we went there, we performed three shows, really big shows in Japan, and when that happened, Universal kind of woke up and it's like, "We better do something. We need to jump on this. This is not good. They're doing really well in a different country, but not in their own country", so they start jumping in a little bit. But it didn't happen until a DJ in Salt Lake City, play the song "I'll Never Let You Go" late night, like midnight hour, late-night hours, and he started getting a lot of calls in for the song. So then they moved it into a morning, and when they moved into the morning and afternoon the song just exploded and it went to number one on that station. When it went to number one on that station, it just spread like wildfire. I'll never forget, we were on tour and we were in a hotel room, I remember all the guys. We were in Florida, I believe. I remember the door being open, it was nice and sunny, and we were watching MTV and we're all on pins and needles, and we're watching what video, and it says, "The number two most requested video, Steelheart "Angel Eyes"." Every artist wants that recognition, and it felt really good. That was a lot of fun. There's a beauty of it when you're an artist and when you're accepted, when people accept your art and respect that, it's really a feeling that I can't explain. 14:57
On the future of the band if not for the accident – We could only speculate, but the one thing I'll be very honest about is that, let me explain…All my life, I've always felt like they need to do something more in music, something, something great. How can I explain this? Here I am on the bus, we're doing the 49 show on a tour, and we're doing this first leg or second leg, we're at the 49 show manager goes, "Hey, you wanna do a show Halloween night, and it'll be 50, we'll take a break at 50 in Denver Arena?" I'm like, "Absolutely let's do it. We'll take a break then, it'll be great". I'm on the bus and I'll never forget it. Everybody just hammered, wasted, burnt. I'm sitting there going, "This is it? Is this the big time? This is it?" I need more. It's gotta be something more to this. Something bigger, better. Just more. I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, so that's when the accident happened. When that accident happened, I don't know how I got up, but I walked off stage. By the way, it hit me in the back of the head, the lighting truss. I fell this way, and I was trying to walk away and it cracked my head open, broke my nose, my cheekbone, jaw, twisted my back, my knee. It was a serious accident. I should not be here now. But anyway, sitting in the back in a fold-out chair in the middle of the backstage, not even in the medical room, and I had a conversation with life, God, whatever we wanna call it. And literally, I saw my whole life like a movie come to me, I'm gonna close my eyes, by the way, close my eyes and became silent. It was really bizarre, can remember it as it was right now. Just film of just all these visuals, past this, where you are, you're an asshole, really quick, like "boom, what do you want to do?" I was like, "What do I wanna do?" Well, you can live your life out normal, forget the music, just live like a normal person or you can keep going, door number two. It wasn't even a thought, I knew I had to keep going and just move forward. I woke up in the ambulance with an oxygen mask on my face. What I mean to say, is I feel like there had to be a change. We were together for so long, we were in the trenches for so long, it was time. I think it was time. I would have not have to have gone through an accident because I've lost years of time. I've lost memory, I've lost a lot. I lost everything during that accident, just so everyone knows. I ended up literally on the floor in the futon, my friend's house in an attic. I'm not on drugs, and I'm not an alcoholic. It was nothing to do with that, it was just life just went (boom), and maybe that was meant to be for me to build the man that I am today, I don't know. But it definitely had a part of building that person. So I guess the answer to your question, I think it was inevitable that we had to have change. I just wish it didn't happen that way. 19:11
On if he wished he had a bigger role in the Rock Star movie – Well, absolutely. I was supposed to be in there. I was supposed to be in the movie with some cameo stuff, but they pulled me out because it became a different energy, a different vibe, and the vibe was that I was not allowed to say a word to the role that I was singing So could you imagine going to the Forum when you have 18,000 people losing their mind, Mark (Wahlberg) singing, and I'm sitting there going, "Oh shit", and no one knows, no one knows, So for years, for years, that's what it is. It's just a movie business, but now everybody (knows). It's all over the internet that it's me singing, and so now it's the cat's out of the bag, so to speak. But yeah, it was a hell of a ride to keep the mouth shut, so to speak. 24:00
On ever playing with the original lineup and any new music – Life works in crazy ways, you just don't know. My heart and ears are always open to anything because you just don't know what lights my brain. Some people say, "This is never gonna happen", and then it happens. I'll just say to that, I'm open. As far as a new record, the 30th (anniversary) album is coming out this year, for sure. I re-recorded "She's Gone" with just piano, vocal, and a 40-piece orchestra. Also, "Mama, Don't You Cry" is also piano, vocal, and a 40-piece orchestra. There's another song called "In Love", which is four cellos, and vocal, and a piano. Then we got "Everybody Loves Eileen", we re-recorded it as a full band rocking. "We All Die Young" has been remixed and remastered and we're gonna re-release that as a single as well. "We All Die Young", when it was out for the movie, for those of you who don't know, that movie was number two at the box office when it came out that first weekend, and "We All Die Young" was going to radio that week as well, and they did a video, they put a ton of promotion behind it, Warner Brothers did a great job. Sure enough, we had 9/11. When that happened, President Bush said, " No songs on radio with the words "die", "blood" or "kill" or anything like that, so immediately, it just destroyed the release of that song and the movie, everything collapsed. The song still became a very popular song. It never got the chance in the sun, so we're gonna re-release it and see if it gets its day in his sun. 25:33

Prior to the release of Oracle 10g, the TNS Listener – by default – was not secured with a password. In the default state, anyone who could access the TNS Listener remotely could issue commands to it, including shutting it down.
The TNS Listener had two security settings: 'OFF,' the default state without a password set, and 'ON' when a password was set.
Starting with 10g, Oracle made the TNS Listener a bit more secure adding a new authentication method, 'Local OS Authentication', and making it the default setting. This setting allows local administration of the TNS Listener by the user who owns the tnslsnr process.
The 'Security ON: Local OS Authentication' and 'Security ON: Password or Local OS Authentication' settings are easy enough to reach with LSNRCTL commands, as the first is the default, and the second by simply setting a password for the listener.
If this line is added to the listener.ora file after a listener password has been set, it will change the security status from 'Security ON: Password or Local OS Authentication' to 'Security ON: Password'.
However, if you add the line before a password has been set, the security status becomes 'Security OFF'.
With security off, the TNS Listener in 10g and later is just as insecure as 9i and earlier versions. While the likelihood of getting into this insecure state unintentionally is decreased since it's no longer the default setting, administrators should still be aware of this possibility.
It is just as important to ensure TNS Listener is secured with a password in 10g and later as it was in previous versions.

IN CINEMAS/ STREAMING NOW
Blu-ray & DVD releases
Alice Through the Looking Glass (PG.)
Directed by James Bobin.
Starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Sasha Baron Cohen and Matt Lucas. 108 mins
The follow up to a film that made over $1 billion at cinemas ought to be widely anticipated but Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland is one of the least liked film ever to break that barrier* – and that was back in 2010 when $1 billion was still considered a lot of money. People have grown tired of the Depp/Burton pairing and that first film was lucky enough to be the first major 3D film to come along after Avatar and was carried along in its wake, even though its 3D was one of those cruddy post production conversions that did so much to dampen enthusiasm for Cameron's great technical leap forward.
So, having got its disappointment in early, I'd say this was an improvement: what was good in the first film (Wasikowska's grown up Alice, Bonham Carter's Red Queen, Matt Lucas as the Tweedles Dum and Dee) is still good and what was annoying then (Depp's Mad Hatter, the need to make Lewis Carroll's character's fit into a standard narrative) is less annoying now.
No sooner is Alice back in Underland than she is being sent off on a mission, a mission unpossible. Instead of Narnia, this time they are rehashing the plot of X-Men Days of Future Past, with Alice going back in time to save the Hatter and his family.
Though Burton has moved on to producing duties, handing over to the director of the recent Muppets movies and Flight of the Concords on TV, the look of the film largely follows that of the original. It is still just another incontinent display of visual effects wizardry but the effects are genuinely impressive, much more than the first one and this time the 3D is effective.
Carroll had no use for redemptive arcs and emotional resolutions but I think he might have had some fun with computers. There are moment's in this that are weirdly lovely and touchingly bizarre, and occasionally you think that these might genuinely reflect Carroll's imagination. Time is a character here, an unreasonable tyrant, (played by Cohen with a Werner Herzog accent) and in his palace there are two places where pocket watches hang from the sky, one of these the ticking clocks of the still living and another the stopped clocks of the deceased. There is an ocean of time that Alice has travel through. The visualisation of the Tweedles is particularly inspired, and the film keeps cutting back to them for reaction shots because they are always so appealing and it can't help but improve a scene.
One scene they fail to make the most of though is the title one. The idea of passing through a mirror is such a magical one but they fritter it away in a blur of special effects.
* The competition though is much more intense than I'd thought with two Pirates sequels, Phantom Menace and the first Hobbit.


Candlesticker, BEARISH ADVANCE BLOCK PATTERN.
3. The next two days are white candlesticks with each closing above the previous day's close and having an opening within the range of the previous day's body.
4. The last two days have long higher shadows.
The first candlestick of a Bearish Advance Block should be a normal or long white candlestick. The following consecutive white candlesticks must open within the range of the previous day's body, and close above the previous day's close. The bodies of the three white candlesticks should get shorter, while the higher shadows get longer.
A strong white candlestick is followed by another white candlestick closing above the previous close. As two consecutive white candlesticks occur, the uptrend seems secure and the bulls are content. The secure uptrend attracts more bulls, and the third day is again a white candlestick that is closing above the previous day's close. With three white candlesticks, it looks as though bulls rule over the market; however there are signs of weaknesses. First, the bodies get shorter and shorter, showing that indecision is increasing. Second, each day opens within the range of the previous day's body. Third, the upper shadows are getting longer. While the second and the third days are closing higher, the distance between closes are getting shorter. This means that the uptrend is losing strength and that buyers must be cautious.
The confirmation level is defined as the midpoint of the last white body. Prices should cross below this level for confirmation.


Ahead of the release of the much-anticipated film about British ski jumper Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards' hapless turn at the 1988 Winter Olympics, screenwriter and co-producer Simon Kelton takes us behind the scenes.
On March 17, 2016, Eddie the Eagle, the eagerly anticipated story of Britain's most famous ski jumper, Michael "Eddie" Edwards, played by Taron Egerton of Kingsman fame, with Hugh Jackman starring as his fictional coach Bronson Peary, will premiere in London in front of an audience of filmmakers, ski industry professionals, devoted family, friends and fans.
Despite being nearly three decades after the event, a large number of people still recall the basic details of Eddie's story. He was a plasterer from Cheltenham, who through a combination of sheer grit, courage bordering on the insane and bulldog-like stubbornness managed to qualify for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. He did it with only three years' training, an astonishing feat given that the average jumper starts as a child.
As media buzz built around Eddie's uniquely awkward jumping style and heart-stopping crashes, made all the more entertaining by endearing interviews with Ron Pickering on Ski Sunday, Eddie started to become a household name. His undershot jaw, extremely poor eyesight, which required bottle-thick glasses that made him look like Mr Magoo, and a wispy caterpillar moustache that gave him the appearance of a middle-aged TV detective rather than a 24-year-old athlete, only added to his notoriety.
Eddie came across as a classic British comedy act, a bumbling but kind and courteous anti-hero like Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther films. He once missed an important competition after oversleeping in a cowshed, famously lost his ski boots and Union Jack underpants on the baggage carousel at Calgary airport, and then followed that up by walking straight into a glass exit door in front of the world's press and legions of excited fans.
Eddie's optimistic and sometimes naïve try-anything attitude felt like an early episode of Jackass. With no financial backing, he was prepared to do anything to fund his ski career. Whether it was dressing up as a chicken to open a tourist office in Devon (they couldn't find an eagle suit) or bolting himself to the roof of a Lotus Esprit and going 119mph to break a speed skiing record, if it would help him ski, Eddie was up for it.
What people are much less aware of, however, is that Eddie was and is an exceptionally good skier. Although he had tried and failed to compete in a number of sports as a youngster, the second he discovered the Gloucester dry ski slope in 1976, aged 13, he never looked back.
Throughout his career, Eddie proved himself a dedicated athlete, prepared to train in sub-zero temperatures, sometimes using blocks of concrete rather than expensive gym equipment, and travelling to World Cup ski jump competitions in his mum's car while doing odd jobs. In 1982 he was unofficially ranked ninth in the world for amateur speed skiing, having clocked 108.6mph, and later, in 1995, set an unofficial world record for stunt ski jumping after launching himself successfully over 10 cars.
Prepared to do anything to represent his country at the Calgary Games, Eddie had moved to Lake Placid in 1985, where he even worked as a nanny to scrape together the funds to compete in races. He came close but narrowly failed to make the British downhill team. It was when he'd reached the point where he could no longer even afford a lift pass that Eddie spotted a ski jump and his life took a sudden and dramatic turn.
Ski jumping had two major advantages – first, it was cheaper and second, there were no other British jumpers. With advice from two local coaches, John Viscome and Chuck Berghorn, along with some of their second-hand equipment, including a pair of boots so big that he needed six pairs of socks to keep them on, Eddie set about learning to jump at a dizzying rate. He completed his first 15m jump in the first hour and a 40m jump the following day. It took him just a month to progress to the 70m jump.
Despite having no money, no support and no formal training, as well as being a muscular 82kg, about 9kg heavier than the next heaviest Olympic jumper, Eddie wasn't always last in competitions. There was a group of jumpers at the bottom of the table he was soon besting – half the Spanish and Bulgarian teams, the Dutch jumper and several Hungarians. By 1987 he'd made it to the World Championships, where he set a new British record of 71.5m, just enough for the British Ski Federation to allow him to qualify for the Calgary Winter Olympics.
Thanks to all the media coverage he'd received, when Eddie finally stepped out on to the top of the 90m jump in Calgary, he was greeted by 100,000 fans chanting his name. His cheery, self-effacing British humour and unstoppable determination had endeared him to the world. That week he was interviewed by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show alongside his childhood hero Burt Reynolds. President Reagan had walked out of a conference on nuclear disarmament to watch him fly. Eddie's outrageous dream and disarming persona had connected with millions of people around the globe and to cap it all he set another British record that day of 73.5m, although this was rather behind the heroes of the sport. Double-gold winning Finn Matti Nykänen recorded 118.5m on his first 90m jump on the same day, and today's world record stands at 251.5m.
In many ways the film of Eddie's life has been as Herculean an effort as his journey from Cheltenham plasterer to Calgary Winter Olympian with countless sacrifices, false horizons and horrendous crashes along the way. It all began with an initial meeting between Eddie and me at his favourite McDonald's in Cheltenham in 2000 and took 15 years to reach the red carpet in London, New York and Los Angeles. That first meeting came about after Rupert Maconick, an independent British film producer in Hollywood who'd secured Eddie's life rights in 1999, hired me as a British ski journalist and aspiring screenwriter to write a screenplay. I also became co-producer.
The development of the movie took years and was often dispiriting, with endless rewrites, pitches, meetings, debates about casting, directors attached, removed, replaced, stars coming on board and dropping off. My dream and that of the film's subsequent screenwriter Sean Macaulay, who took over in 2002, was finally realised in October 2014, when producer Matthew Vaughn and director Dexter Fletcher appeared like white knights to take up the mantle and usher the film into production in a matter of months. The result is a heart-warming British comedy that captures the very best of Eddie's story. Despite many of the facts having to be altered due to practical reasons, when his family watched the film there was not a dry eye in the house.
To celebrate the completion of the movie, Andy Sturt, founder of VIP Ski, invited Eddie, me and Konrad Bartelski – Britain's most successful downhill skier with a World Cup podium to his name – to stay in the Hotel Montjola in St Anton. In 1986, Eddie had written to Konrad to tell him he'd set a British ski jumping record in Stams and needed help. Konrad, who was the Atomic ski rep at the time, gave Eddie some skis and this resulted in an article in the Daily Mail entitled Meet Fast Eddie. He was on his way.
Eddie found himself constantly stopped in St Anton by people wanting autographs, selfies or just to shake his hand and congratulate him on his achievement. That this happens even today is partly because he has remained in the British consciousness through reality TV shows such as Splash, Winter Wipeout, both of which he won, and The Jump, but I like to think it's mainly due to the humble grace with which he achieved his dream and the undying enthusiasm he still has for skiing.
Despite being fiercely competitive, Eddie felt no sense of failure at coming a resounding last at the 1988 Games, because simply representing his country at the Olympics was enough of a victory.
His achievement was recognised during the closing ceremony of the Calgary Games when Frank King, the president of the organising committee, said in his final remarks, "At these Games, some competitors have won gold, some have broken records, and some of you have even soared like an eagle." Enjoy the film.
Eddie the Eagle goes on general release in the UK on April 1.
