Volunteers from the Rotherham Hospice will be on hand at Saturday's Sky Bet League One clash with Charlton Athletic to hold a bucket collection to raise funds for the local charity.
Members representing the local charity will be on hand around the grounds at AESSEAL New York Stadium prior to the match, in an attempt to raise money for the running of the Broom-based hospice.
The club's Community Sports Trust's NCS programme will also be involved in supporting the fundraising by joining the volunteers in collecting at the game.
Previous collections have passed with great success and we are once again proud to be supporting a charity close to the hearts of many in the town.


Buying a property overseas is not that dissimilar to buying a property in the UK. Unless you have the funds to buy outright, you will need to look at securing an Overseas Mortgage. It is important to familiarize yourself with the buying costs and taxation system of the country you are looking to buy in, as these costs can be extremely varied. Most countries in Europe and the United States will offer you an Overseas Mortgage, but the types of mortgages available to you abroad may not be as varied and flexible as the mortgages offered in the UK.
As with a UK mortgage, your Overseas Mortgage application will depend on your income, and the fact that no more than 40% of your earnings are contributing to the paying of any debts (or pre-existing mortgage) you may have. It is important to note that your earnings in the UK (£s) will have to converted to the local currency, so you should be aware of the conversion rates and the risks involved. Many banks in the UK have divisions that are dedicated to Overseas Mortgage matters, and there are also brokers that can help you in that regard.
It is important to be aware of the possible language barrier hindering communication processes, and the possible need to hire a solicitor or lawyer that can help. Another factor to consider when purchasing an Overseas Mortgage is the time and cost of travel that may be incurred during the process. You will need to consider whether getting a mortgage overseas works out a better deal than getting a mortgage from a UK bank, so rates, currency, buying costs and the condition of both markets must be studied carefully.

US President George Bush has promised to turn his focus to settling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein was removed from power.
Mr Bush held out the Northern Ireland peace process, spearheaded by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as a possible model, saying he was "willing to spend the same amount of energy in the Middle East".
"The end of Saddam's regime will ... remove a source of violence and instability in the Middle East," Mr Bush said after his third face-to-face meeting in less than a month with Mr Blair, his main ally in invading Iraq.
At Mr Blair's urging, Mr Bush has promised to publish a so-called "road map" peace plan, which envisions creation of a Palestinian state by 2005, as soon as Palestinian lawmakers confirm a new cabinet under prime minister-designate Mahmoud Abbas, widely known as Abu Mazen.
Saying he was "pleased" with the selection, Mr Bush told reporters after a two-day summit meeting: "I look forward to him (Abbas) finally putting his cabinet in place so we can release the road map."
The Israeli daily Ha'aretz reported that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was undermining Mr Abbas's bid to establish a government committed to reform and the premier-designate was considering pulling out rather than presenting his cabinet on Thursday as expected.
A senior Palestinian minister close to Mr Arafat denied the report. "There are no pressures being exerted on Abu Mazen. Any talk about this is completely unfounded," Saeb Erekat said.
"Abu Mazen is still conducting consultations with Palestinian factions for the cabinet. He will present the cabinet to the Legislative Council (parliament) within the timeline granted to him by the Basic Law."
Europeans have welcomed US professions of commitment to the road map, regarding it as a means to count anger in the Arab world over the US and British invasion of Iraq.
But some analysts and diplomats have said they are sceptical of Mr Bush's commitment to mediating between the Israelis and the Palestinians. They say Mr Bush promised to release the road map as a favour to Mr Blair, who faced stern opposition at home for backing Mr Bush in Iraq.
Emboldened by progress in the war, Mr Bush said both he and Mr Blair were "determined to move toward our vision of broader peace in that region".
"We're committed to implementing the road map toward peace, to bring closer to the day when two states - Israel and Palestine - (live) in peace and stability," Mr Bush said.
"Peace in the Middle East will require overcoming deep divisions of history and religion. Yet we know this is possible; it is happening in Northern Ireland," Mr Bush added, citing Mr Blair's efforts to breathe new life into the British-ruled province's flagging peace process.
"To those who can sometimes say that the process in the Middle East is hopeless, I say we can look at Northern Ireland and take some hope from that," Mr Blair told reporters.
But Israel's new rightist coalition government, which has insisted that diplomacy cannot move forward until Palestinian attacks end, has already signalled its desire for modifications to the road map.
The Palestinians are expected to have fewer reservations about the peace plan than Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Government, some of whose members favour continued Jewish settlement in the West Bank.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell has said Washington intends to promote the peace plan "as it is" without amendments by either side, but insisted it could not be forced on the parties.
Mr Powell's comments appeared aimed at allaying European worries that Washington would give in to Israeli pressure for extensive changes, a process that could take months and probably anger an Arab world already incensed over the war on Iraq.
The road map calls for a series of reciprocal measures, including a halt to Palestinian violence and an end to Jewish settlement activity, to pave the way for a Palestinian state.
It was been in the works for almost a year but has been repeatedly delayed.

Carn Euny Ancient Village
Among the best-preserved ancient villages in South West England, Carn Euny was occupied from the Iron Age until late Roman times. It includes the foundations of stone houses from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD, with walls up to a metre high in places. At the heart of the village is its most intriguing feature – a stone-walled underground passage known as a fogou. This mysterious type of Iron Age monument is found only in the far west of Cornwall.
This archaeological site near Sancreed, on the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom with considerable evidence of both Iron Age and post-Iron Age settlement. Excavations on this site have shown that there was activity at Carn Euny as early as the Neolithic period. There is evidence that shows that the first timber huts there were built about 200 BC, but by the 1st century BC, these had been replaced by stone huts. The remains of these stone huts are still visible today.Carn Euny is best known for the well-preserved state of the large fogou, an underground passageway, which is more than 65 feet long.
The Fogou and Beehive hut
The fogou is thought to be the earliest stage of development of the site and yet still predated by the submerged beehive hut with the courtyard houses growing up around it and it now stretches to 66 feet in length with a domed inner chamber or beehive hut slightly off centre. The original access would have been through a tiny creep passage but now it is open at both ends. Historians are undecided about its exact function of course, with ideas for its use ranging from food storage, to a safe haven from attack to a ritual chamber possibly to commune with the earth goddess.
This fogou runs just below the surface of the ground and is roofed with massive stone slabs. Although the exact purpose of these fogous is still a mystery, possibilities include storage, habitation, or ritual. The site was abandoned late in the Roman period. Location Carn Euny lies in southwest Cornwall in the Penwith District, near the village of Sancreed. The archaeological site can be accessed at any time and the admission is free. Parking can be found in the nearby hamlet of Brane. The site is overlooked by the Iron Age hill fort of Caer Bran. Another similar Romano-British settlement is Chysauster about 10 km to the northeast.

Q: How can I create a column indicating whether row is first occurence of value? I have a data frame with several thousand rows. The data frame is ordered by a column with numerical values. I want to create a column indicating whether the row is the first row containing the specific numerical value. It should only be based on that column.
Data frame A is an example of how my data is organized right now and B is how I would like it to be organized.
A <- data.frame(c(22, 27, 32, 32, 33, 33, 37), c(121, 243, 765, 322, 433, 435, 728))
colnames(A) <- c("V1", "V2")

B <- data.frame(c(22, 27, 32, 32, 33, 33, 37), c(121, 243, 765, 322, 433, 435, 728), c("y", "y", "y", "n", "y", "n", "y"))
colnames(B) <- c("V1", "V2", "V3")

A: You are basically looking for duplicates, i.e.
!duplicated(A$V1)
#[1]  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE FALSE  TRUE

or
ifelse(!duplicated(A$V1), 'y', 'n')
#[1] "y" "y" "y" "n" "y" "n" "y"

We can also avoid ifelse (thanks to @jogo)
c("n", "y")[1 + !duplicated(A$V1)]
#[1] "y" "y" "y" "n" "y" "n" "y"

Fort Lauderdale, Florida is the home of Embraer Aircraft Holding, Inc. It has been headquartered there since 1979. Embraer is well-known as one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world. The headquarters' site features over 109,000 square feet of built facilities which combines aircraft sales and post sales activities, including customer service, tech support, shipping and receiving of spare parts, etc. Embraer was Brazil's largest exporter from 1999 to 2001 and the second largest from 2002 through 2004.
As part of a nationwide expansion for Embraer's business class aircraft, Chase was enlisted to construct three jet service centers, one of which is located at their main campus in Fort Lauderdale. The service center is approximately 57,000 square feet. Similar to the projects in Connecticut and Arizona, this facility includes administrative, shop and hangar spaces to facilitate in the performance of routine fly-in/fly-out maintenance. The building consists of a structural steel frame with a hybrid metal skin system over the frame of the hangar bay, a standing seam roof and textured masonry system make up the balance of the exterior, and at the offices and service facilities. The interior of the facility has a high-end finish look with much attention given to detail and comfort for Embraer clients, guests, and employees.
In addition to the service center, Embraer asked Chase to construct a new spare parts warehouse to increase the efficiency and size of its current operation. This facility is approximately 35,000 square feet, and includes some administrative spaces. It is constructed of concrete tilt panels with a bar joint and metal deck roof framing system. The concrete floor has a light reflective shake-on hardener finish. As a final touch to the campus, Chase completed a site overhaul. This work included reworking all existing parking areas, adding a small guard house, and reworking and adding landscaping.

Kyle Reese is een personage uit de Terminator-franchise. Hij is de protagonist in de eerste film, waarin hij wordt gespeeld door Michael Biehn. Verder komt hij voor in televisieserie, gespeeld door Jonathan Jackson, en komt voor in de vierde film, gespeeld door Anton Yelchin. hij komt ook voor in de vijfde film, gespeeld door Jai Courtney.

 Personage
Kyle Reese (DN38416) is een soldaat uit de toekomst. Hij vecht daarin met het verzet tegen het computernetwerk Skynet, dat de wereld heeft overgenomen. Reese is opgegroeid in de oorlog, en een van de laatste mensen die een overwinning heeft weten te boeken over de machines.

Reese is een ervaren vechter. Hij heeft veel ervaring met het strijden tegen de Terminators van Skynet. De oorlog heeft Reese zowel lichamelijk als mentaal verhard. Zijn lichaam vertoont littekens van veel gevechten.

 Rol in de films
 Voor The Terminator
Reese heeft in een concentratiekamp van Skynet gezeten, waar hij moest werken als Sonderkommando. Hij werd uiteindelijk bevrijd door het verzet, onder leiding van John Connor. Hierna vocht Reese mee in het verzet.

Reese is aanwezig bij de laatste aanval, waarbij Skynet werd overwonnen door het verzet. Hij is echter ook getuige van Skynets laatste wanhoopspoging het verzet te stoppen: door een Terminator terug te sturen in de tijd en Sarah Connor, de moeder van John Connor, te doden voordat John geboren kan worden. Beseffend wat Skynet van plan is, kiest John Reese uit om ook terug te gaan in de tijd en Sarah te beschermen.

 The Terminator
Bij aanvang van de eerste film arriveert Reese in het jaar 1984. Zonder wapens of kennis van hoe de Terminator eruitziet, spoort hij Sarah op en waarschuwt haar voor het gevaar. Hoewel Sarah Reese eerst wantrouwend is, gaat ze noodgedwongen met hem mee wanneer de Terminator opduikt.

Wat Reese niet weet is dat John hem om een speciale reden heeft gekozen voor de missie. Hij is Johns vader. Tijdens de film, terwijl Sarah en Reese vluchten voor de Terminator, worden ze verliefd. De twee delen een intieme nacht, waarbij John wordt verwekt.

Terwijl hij in het verleden is, ziet Reese de wereld van voor de oorlog. De schoonheid hiervan wordt hem te veel, en hij is ervan overtuigd dat hij dit nooit had mogen zien. Sarah overtuigt hem te proberen het verleden te veranderen, en de komst van Skynet te verhinderen. Reese wordt echter gedood door de Terminator. Reese slaagt er nog wel in de Terminator gedeeltelijk op te blazen, waarna Sarah zijn restanten vernietigt met een hydraulische pers.

Reese' lichaam wordt naderhand meegenomen door de politie. Sarah blijft alleen achter. Maar Reese' moed en kracht zetten haar ertoe aan om John te trainen voor zijn toekomstige rol.

 Terminator 2
In een aanvankelijk verwijderde scène uit Terminator 2: Judgement Day beeldt Sarah zich in dat Reese haar op komt zoeken in de inrichting waar ze verblijft. De scène is teruggezet in de "Special Edition" van de dvd.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
In de televisieserie Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles komt Reese een paar keer voor. Tevens blijkt hij in de serie nog een broer te hebben, Derek, die ook een soldaat in het verzet is.

In de aflevering Dungeons & Dragons is te zien hoe Reese en zijn broer elkaar kwijt raken, kort voordat Reese naar het verleden wordt gestuurd voor zijn taak. Reese wordt in de serie tevens gezien als een kind van acht in de aflevering What He Beheld. Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins
Reese als tiener in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, gespeeld door Anton Yelchin.

 Achter de schermen
Oorspronkelijk zou naast Reese nog een tweede soldaat genaamd Sumner worden teruggestuurd in de tijd. Hij zou bij aankomst echter sterven omdat door een fout met de tijdpoort hij in een brandtrap terechtkomt.

Michael Biehn kreeg bijna niet de rol van Reese omdat hij bij de audities met een zuidelijk accent praatte. Dit omdat hij eerder die dag auditie had gedaan voor een rol in de toneelproductie van Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'', waarvoor hij dit accent moest gebruiken. Nadat zijn agent dit had uitgelegd aan de producers, kreeg hij een tweede kans. Ditmaal wel met succes.

As kids we all try to escape to some reality other than our own as sometimes we believe the reality we live in is too mundane or simply too stressful. Pryor to having games and internet and such I read books to escape my reality, that was my solace my peace my escape. It is these rare gems that really allow the magic to shine down. Everyday I see an indy film I realize more and more that the real magic comes from the individuals that are passionate about what they do or at least have knowledge about the subject matter. A film by BaruchFilms.
Wow, a wonderful senior piece by Carolyn Chrisman for her 2011 senior thesis. It is well animated, very cinematic and well thought out. The depth of how it plays together was just so breath taking.
I really see no bad in this animation,I would have to look seriously hard to find a part that annoyed me and if there was everything else seemed to compliment each other.

Sudip Parikh, Ph.D., became the 19th chief executive officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and executive publisher of the Science family of journals in January 2020. Parikh has spent two decades at the nexus of science, policy, and business.
Immediately prior to joining AAAS, Parikh was senior vice president and managing director at DIA Global, a neutral, multidisciplinary organization bringing together regulators, industry, academia, patients, and other stakeholders interested in healthcare product development. He led strategy in the Americas and oversaw DIA programs that catalyzed progress globally toward novel regulatory frameworks for advanced therapies not amenable to existing regulations.
Prior to DIA, Sudip was general manager of the Health and Consumer Solutions business unit and vice president at Battelle, a multibillion-dollar research and development organization. He led a $150 million business unit with over 500 scientific, technical, and computing experts performing basic and applied research, developing medicines and healthcare devices, and creating advanced analytics and artificial intelligence applications to improve human health. Previously, Parikh led Battelle's global AgriFood business unit. Headquartered in London and Geneva, this unit provided environmental fate research and agriculture product development services from laboratories throughout Europe and the United States.
From 2001 to 2009, Parikh served as science advisor and professional staff to the United States Senate Appropriations Committee, where he was responsible for negotiating budgets for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, and other scientific and health agencies. A key legislative liaison to the research and development ecosystem, Parikh was on the frontlines of many science policy issues debated during that time, including embryonic stem cell research, cloning, disease surveillance, bioterrorism, cyber security, and doubling the NIH budget.
An active member of the scientific advocacy community, Parikh serves as a board member and officer for several impactful organizations, including Research!America, Friends of Cancer Research, and ACT for NIH. He has received multiple public service awards, including recognition from the American Association of Immunologists, the National AIDS Alliance, the Coalition for Health Services Research, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Sudip is committed to early STEM education and, as a parent of three energetic young children, he prioritizes volunteering as a mentor for Science Olympiad teams at two elementary schools.
Early in his career, Parikh was a Presidential Management Intern at the NIH. He was awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship while earning his Ph.D. in macromolecular structure and chemistry from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif. There, he used structural biology and biochemistry techniques to probe the mechanisms of DNA repair enzymes bound to DNA. The son of Indian immigrants who worked in the textile and furniture manufacturing plants of North Carolina, Parikh completed undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, first as a journalism major before switching into materials science.

I stopped by the Hublot Boutique in Bal Harbour, Miami, and checked out some unique pieces that are mainly available only at authorized Hublot boutiques. As you remember, last week in Beverly Hills, we got a first look at the King Power Black Mamba that Hublot created for Kobe Bryant. During this visit we got to see the King Power WBC that Hublot created for Lennox Lewis.
This piece is also special, especially for any true boxing fan. This watch is a true collector's piece, the result of Hublot's partnership with the World Boxing Council (WBC) that saw the creation of 12 one-of-a-kind King Power watches. They dedicated the watches to 12 boxers: Lennox Lewis, George Foreman, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Oscar de la Hoya, Jeff Fenech, Larry Holmes, Julio César Chávez, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Durán and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. That means the King Power WBC Lennox Lewis watch is 1 of 1.
These one-off pieces were auctioned off last year, raising US$1,000,000 for the WBC's charities. The King Power WBC Lennox Lewis was purchased at auction last year for $105,000.
Satin-finished 18K King Gold case (48mm diameter) with black ceramic bezel held by 6 black PVD titanium screws, glazed exhibition back held by 6 screws, crystal with WBC logo transfer and Lennox Lewis signature, 18K King Gold crown with black rubber insert and chronograph pushers in black PVD, equipped with HUB4100 automatic chronograph movement (252 components) with 42 hours power reserve and cut out rotor, satin-finished gilt dial, applied gilt baton hour markers baton hands with green luminescent, chronograph hand with Hublot logo, three subsidiary dials for running seconds, 30 minutes and 12 hours. On the 30 mm subsidiary dial, the first 3 mm in red represent a boxing round. Date aperture between 4 and 5, fitted strap in Porosus Hornback green alligator and spare black rubber strap with black stitching, titanium micro-blasted black PVD deployant clasp with decorative gold plate; case, dial and movement signed.

The enamel on your teeth plays a vital role in keeping your teeth healthy. Enamel works as a shield, protecting your teeth from harmful substances. Unfortunately, enamel isn't indestructible. Sugar creates acids in your mouth that will actually cause the enamel on your teeth to deteriorate. In addition to this, eating hard, crunchy things, such as ice, can also wear away at enamel. Now, that you've heard the bad news, here's the good news: there are things that you can do to strengthen the enamel on your teeth! And, if you're looking for a dentist in Encinitas 92024, we can help with that too!
The key to keeping the enamel on your teeth nice and strong Is your diet. Sugars and starches are going to be your main target area. They stick to the enamel on your teeth and can slowly eat it away. They also work to create those acids that we previously mentioned that deteriorate enamel. Be especially wary of juices and soda as they are often culprits in wearing away enamel. In addition to limiting sugary and starchy foods, a healthy diet in general will aid in the remineralization of your enamel.
While diet is crucial in protecting the enamel on your teeth, Encinitas dentists will tell you that being proactive about oral hygiene is important as well. Brush your teeth thoroughly at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. However, it never hurts to brush after meals as well, especially if you have just indulged in something extra sugary. Taking the time to floss will also benefit you greatly. Unfortunately, brushing alone will not get all the little food bits in the tight spaces between your teeth. And, if you really want to be on the ball, use a little mouthwash to flush your mouth of any harmful bacteria.
Looking for a dentist near Encinitas? All it takes is a phone call to get all of the answers that you may have about your oral health. Book your next appointment with us online today!

The beautiful whitewashed complex is surrounded by tropical gardens and sprinkled with trees. The centre of Santa Eulalia is a 20 minute stroll where you'll find plenty in the way of restaurants and bars. And a little bit closer is the tree lined curve of sand that is Cala Pada Beach.
At the centre of the complex you'll find a decent sized swimming pool. It looks the part, set on a raised terrace with a separate splash pool for children. And because there are less than 50 apartments here, it never feels crowded. There is also a children's playground to keep the younger guests entertained.
As for the accommodation you can take your pick from studios or apartments. Whichever one you go for, you'll find an open plan living area complete with a well equipped kitchenette. The décor is simple but smart where whitewashed walls with exposed beams are teamed with pine furniture. In terms of trimmings, you'll find a bar and restaurant here. They're in a great spot by the pool to enjoy a snack or something more substantial.


More and more, the IT and InfoSec leaders we work with are realizing the need to move away from perimeter-centric, hardware-based security models that aren't sufficient to address the trillions of dollars of cybercrimes festering inside virtual data center and cloud environments today. In short, we all know that the bad guys are going to get in, but once they're in, how can you see and stop them before they take control of your critical systems? No firewall can help you there.
Microsegmentation combined with continuous monitoring has emerged as a key strategy for protecting assets inside virtualized data center and cloud environments. Organizations can segment off their most sensitive data, like patient and financial records, by wrapping security controls around each of these workloads. We and others believe application-aware microsegmentation with advanced security analytics is the logical place that efforts will go first for cloud security because it gives organizations the ability to see and stop threats at a deeper level than ever before.
Companies around the world come to us with specific projects that require microsegmentation - from baking security into their modern data center to reducing threat risks for an upcoming audit. And while their need for microsegmentation is real, the various messages in the marketplace make it hard to differentiate between the technical approaches to implementation. Unfortunately, this can mask the fact that many existing offerings are insufficient and costly… and far from the fast and easy IT delivery model that AWS and others are promoting.
Still, according to new research, 55% of organizations are already attempting some kind of microsegmentation and 37% are planning to deploy some version of microsegmentation in the next 6-12 months because they cannot afford to leave themselves open to laterally-moving threats (ESG Group, 2015).
So it's time to make things clear: you may have heard a pitch or two, but not all microsegmentation is created equal. It's important to know your options and differences between approaches before investing your valuable time and security budget. Some tactics require complex network reconfigurations and hundreds of pages of manuals to read in order to get up and running, while others cannot see or deal with application-level threats proactively.
Request your free trial of microsegmentation from vArmour DSS.
It's Simple: You can deploy in minutes, not months. Now, customers need just 30 minutes and 3 easy steps to protect their most critical assets - no more waiting around for security to catch up with your business needs or special certifications before you start; security is right there with every workload you deploy.
It's Integrated: Integration means speed. Built-in security analytics as part of DSS provide one-click threat detection-to-quarantine. DSS can give you application-layer visibility of your entire network in 15 minutes that could take a security analyst hours of tedious investigation through multiple silo'd tools to accomplish.
It's Economical: Cut millions in hardware spend. Gone are the days of expensive hardware on the shelf, of hearing "we can't do that" because that zone of the network is at capacity, or "we'll have to wait till the next hardware refresh." DSS offers you a single, pay-as-you-grow, software-based system for both threat detection and remediation - no specialized hardware or software required.
Our customers around the world are already experiencing the peace of mind that comes from knowing they can move quickly to see and stop threats in their cloud environments on-premises and off, exponentially reducing detection and remediation times while saving lots of money along the way.
Experience our 3 steps to microsegmentation in action with a trial of vArmour DSS for your environment.

Paul knew that the outward man or woman was perishing, day by day, and as he said "was wasting away" but the most important work was being done inwardly by the Spirit of God and this was the renewal that each believer in Christ is undergoing, day by day. God's Spirit works to convict us of sin, He works to make us more like Christ, and our sanctification is a lifelong process and even though we might be falling apart outwardly, what is eternal is what is inside and that's the only thing that counts. We are new creations in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) even though the outward appearance is decaying, so that's why Paul didn't want us to lose heart. Scripture Images
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, ... Christian Wall Art
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. Scripture Images
While many white musicians gravitated toward country, folk, and old-timey music to express their spirituality outside of traditional Christian hymns, Black Gospel music drew heavily upon the traditional spirituals that had been passed down from the days of slavery, picking up its more driving rhythmic emphasis from blues and early jazz. Composer and singer Thomas A. Dorsey crystallized the style in 1932 with his epochal "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," and went on to compose a great many songs that later became standards. When performed in the churches, the music was traditionally sung by a choir, with individual soloists sometimes taking the spotlight; this often happened in a form known as "call and response," in which either the choir or the soloist would repeat and/or answer the lyric which had just been sung by the other, with the soloist improvising embellishments of the melody for greater emphasis. As the music developed, these soloists became more and more virtuosic, performing with wild emotion (and, in the South, physicality) in order to properly express the spiritual ecstasy the music was meant to evoke. The music was quite egalitarian in terms of gender, as both male and female performers -- Brother Joe May, Rev. James Cleveland, Mahalia Jackson, the Clara Ward Singers, etc. -- gained wide renown among both black and white audiences. The small-group format was also prevalent, with major figures including the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, the Soul Stirrers, the Swan Silvertones, and the Dixie Hummingbirds; in general, these groups placed a greater premium on smooth vocal harmonies, although some performances could approach the raucous energy (if not quite the huge sound) of a choir-with-soloist group. As the years progressed, black gospel and black popular music influenced and borrowed from one another, reflecting the gradual change of emphasis toward R&B; black gospel also had an enormous impact on the development of soul music, which directed gospel's spiritual intensity into more secular concerns, and included a great many performers whose musical skills were developed in the church. As a recognizable style unto itself, black gospel music largely ceased to develop around the 1970s; progressing racial attitudes had helped black popular music reach wider audiences (and become more lucrative) than ever before, and tastes had turned towards the earthy hedonism of funk and the highly arranged, sophisticated Philly soul sound. The former wasn't quite appropriate for worship, and it wasn't all that practical to duplicate the latter in church services. However, the traditional black gospel sound survived intact and was eventually augmented by contemporary gospel (an '80s/'90s variation strongly influenced by latter-day urban R&B); plus, singers like Whitney Houston continued to develop within its ranks.

But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

So, who are the best gospel singers? Any list of gospel artists has to include male gospel singers like Kirk Franklin, Marvin Sapp, BeBe Winans, and Fred Hammond, as well as female Christian singers like CeCe Winans, Yalonda Adams and Shirley Caesar. These gospel singers are considered some of the best in the genre and it's with good reason that they're at or near the top of this poll. The best gospel artists are well represented on this list and with good reason. When you think of Christian singers and gospel artists, you should be able to use this list as a great point of reference. Christian Images
And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. ... Christian Images

Every month, we Strategist editors tell you about the best things we've recently bought for ourselves. But what about the things we wish other people would buy for us? It's a ritual for us to share our holiday wish lists, but during the rest of the year we're also having birthdays, housewarming parties, weddings, babies, and more. So now we're spilling about the gifts we'd like for those milestones, as well. First up: senior writer Lauren Levy on the goods she wouldn't mind receiving for her birthday.
I'll start with the most practical thing I want and need: a pair of in-ear earphones. Long story short, I have TMJ and my over-ear headphones are giving me jaw issues, which is a problem because I dislike sticking little things in my ear, and I am not here for AirPods. Plus, I prefer my earpieces in black. The good thing is that I've wanted something from Bang & Olufsen for, like, as long as I can remember, so this is a great opportunity for me to ask for a pair of these BeoPlay in-ear earphones. I'm going with wireless because although I refuse to wear AirPods, I am hopeful about the world of Bluetooth ear gadgets. Spoiler alert: My dad agreed to buy these for me.
Here's a weird one: I want some glass bricks to use as book ends. A friend recently tipped me off that I can get one at Home Depot, so after browsing their site, I think this curved one is maybe the most practical for the purpose.
But I've also been obsessed with colored glass lately, so I think I'd prefer the orangey-amber number instead.
I recently misplaced a pair of small gold hoop earrings, and I'm sad about it. Replacing them with these, which look pretty much the same, would be nice.
I honestly can't believe I've been alive this long and still don't own anything from Eckhaus Latta. I'd take anything at this point, but to get specific, I've had my eye on these Camper boots.
This cozy velour long sleeve tee will also do.
I'm really feeling colorful sandals for summer. When I showed my mom some Maryam Nassir Zadeh options she told me they looked "too typical," but offered to gift me these from a brand called Neous instead. I'll take it.
Oh, and this guy on Instagram is selling an old jailbroken Prada smartphone for $95. He says they still work, and I am strongly considering — maybe even as a gift to myself.


The decision to sell your home – a large financial asset – is a complex one for most families, but when it's time to price your home to sell is where you may really struggle. Comprehensive real estate market data is helpful, and gives general "apples to apples" guidance, but our sneaky brains get all emotional when faced with placing value on our trusty home base. We think our "apple" is special. The exception.
In our minds, it takes years to make a house a home and we equate that attention, time and money with value. Extra value! We may even argue with our trusted, knowledgeable real estate agent and insist we figure this self-determined, extra value into the ultimate list price. We're just so certain of its value. The market may or may not agree.
Know that if you step into "emotional quicksand" when determining your selling price you may get stuck. Really stuck. And it'll cost you both time and money. This is a business transaction involving what is probably your largest financial asset. Step back. Work with an expert to visually and physically package the "asset". Polish that apple! Create real value for your potential buyer.

Out of Austria
Marking the 80th anniversary of the Anschluss (annexation of Austria) on 12th March 1938
14th March – 29th April 2018
On Saturday 12th March 1938, German troops marched into Austria unopposed; Hitler was now in control. Although many Austrians welcomed the Wehrmacht with cheering, Nazi salutes and waving flags, this invasion made the country a dangerous place for thousands of people, particularly Jews. Between 1933 when Hitler began to gain power and 1945 when the era of National Socialism came to an end, approximately 130,000 Jews escaped from Austria, 30,000 of whom found refuge in Great Britain. Within this grand total, a number of artists crossed The Channel to safety and, in remembrance of the 80th anniversary of the Anschluss Österreichs, the Ben Uri Gallery produced an exhibition of over 40 works by a score of these refugees.
The Ben Uri Gallery, established in 1915 by the Russian émigré artist Lazar Berson, is dedicated to celebrating the work and lives of migrant minorities. Originally an art venue for Jewish immigrant craftsmen, the gallery's mission is to be known as "The Art Museum for Everyone" with no ethnic, religious or other barriers.
The gallery was named after Bezalel Ben Uri or Bezalel son of Uri from the tribe of Judah who was an immigrant craftsman in the Bible. He was the master artisan in charge of creating the tabernacle for the spirit of the Lord to dwell as well as building the Ark of the Covenant, a gold-covered wooden chest in which to place the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments.
Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.
– Exodus 31:1-6
As a registered charity and the only specialist art museum in Europe that focuses on the issues of identity and migration through the visual arts, the Ben Uri Gallery takes every opportunity to not only showcase the artworks of migrant minorities but to tell the world their story. Although only a small building, the curators of the exhibition Out of Austria utilised the space to display a variety of different types of art, such as paintings, graphics, sculptures and ceramics. Very few of the Austrian artists are still alive, therefore, the exhibit also served as a museum of the annexation of Austria.
Anschluss was essentially an inevitable event for the idea of grouping all the German-speaking countries together had been a subject of discussion since the ending of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806. The Austrian people were split between wanting to merge with Germany and staying loyal to the Habsburg Monarchy despite its collapse in 1918. After the Nazis came to power in 1933, the government in Austria was targetted with propaganda advocating for an Anschluss to the German Reich, including the constant repetition of the phrase Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer ("One People, One Empire, One Leader").
Gradually, the Austrian government withdrew, allowing Hitler to make his move to create a union between his birth country Austria and Germany, an "all-German Reich". This had been his aim since 1925 when he wrote in his autobiography Mein Kampf, "German-Austria must be restored to the great German Motherland … People of the same blood should be in the same Reich."
Some Austrian-born Jews began seeking refuge as early as 1933, five years before the Anschluss, as a result of Hitler's anti-Semitic legislation. Others fled after the event in an attempt to find a place of safety, passing through various European countries, finally settling in Britain. With no homeland, livelihood or familiar culture, it was a challenge for all refugees to reestablish their lives and careers, including painters, sculptors and so forth. This exhibition not only showed the works of these artists but examined their struggles and experiences as they began to rebuild their lives.
Out of Austria was divided into sections, grouping artworks by theme rather than by artist. Some of the works express the reality of the internment many Jews faced on reaching British shores. Between 1940 and 1941, many refugees were held as "enemy aliens" in camps such as Huyton in Liverpool and the Hutchinson and Onchan camps on the Isle of Man. Despite the circumstances, the artists displayed in this gallery refused to let it stop them from doing what they do best – creating art. With limited resources, artists used whatever they could get their hands on.
Portrait of a Man: Wilhelm Hollitscher, Dachinger, 1940
One of the artists caught up in Churchill's decree to "collar the lot" of Jewish refugees was Hugo Dachinger (1908-95), occasionally known as "Puck" who immigrated to Britain via Denmark in 1938. For the first two years, Dachinger was able to live in relative safety, however, after Churchill's decision in June 1940 to detain "enemy aliens", Dachinger was interred in Huyton Camp for five months, followed by a final two months in Mooragh Camp on the Isle of Man. Despite his incarceration, Dachinger continued to paint, eventually holding an exhibition of the works produced during these months entitled Art Behind Barbed Wire.
Dachinger was an Austrian Jew born in Gmunden, Upper Austria who had spent three years of study at the Leipzig School of Arts and Crafts before moving to Vienna to work as a graphic designer. He also patented a system of moveable type and co-founded the successful but short-lived Transposter Advertising Ltd firm.
Whilst in the British camps, Dachinger completed a bountiful portfolio of work, which included landscapes, scenes of the everyday life within the confines of the eight-metre high barbed wire, posters and coloured portraits. The example of Dachinger's work owned by the Ben Uri gallery was painted during the third month of his internment. Titled Portrait of a Man, it is thought that the elderly sitter was one of the intellectuals, either a writer or an artist named Wilhelm Holitscher, who Dachinger socialised within the camp.
Limited to resources that he could find in the camp, Dachinger used newspaper sheets as his canvas, preferring The Times over others on account of the better quality paper. Unable to purchase paints, Dachinger and other artists had to use whatever equipment they had brought with them or invent their own pigments by melting and combining various ingredients. For example, he made ersatz paint by grounding brick dust or food with the olive oil from sardine tins. On other occasions, Dachinger mixed toothpaste and watercolours, which can be seen in the hair of Portrait of a Man. To produce black charcoal, wood, such as twigs from trees, were burnt to ashes.
Mother and Child, sculpture by Willi Soukop, polyphant stone
Standing Boy by Georg Ehrlich, Bronze
Babies, Georg Ehrlich, Sanguine
One of the themes that was explored in the exhibition Out of Austria was the prevailing mother and child trope that has appeared in artworks throughout history. It is usually associated with Catholicism and the representation of the Virgin Mary with the Christ child, an unusual choice for Jewish artists to depict, however, perhaps these artists who had fled their homeland were drawn to this subject on account of their separation from their families. Amongst the artworks exhibited in this section were sketches, photographs, ceramics and sculptures.
One of the sculptures, lent from a private collection, was fashioned from bronze by the Austrian-born Georg Ehrlich (1887-1966). A year before the Anschluss, Ehrlich and his wife fled from the Austrian capital to the British capital where he remained for the rest of his life, excluding a brief internment in one of the camps. Although he had trained as a graphic designer at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna, Ehrlich had established himself as a sculptor by 1923.
Ehrlich mainly restricted his sculptures to animals and children, however, also produced several war memorials including one for the Garden of Rest at Coventry. It is likely that Ehrlich's sculptures provided the money he and his wife needed in order to live comfortably in their adopted country. Standing Boy, displayed as part of the exhibition, sold for £200 in 1941, the most expensive of any of the works bought at that time.
Another sculptor who found safety on the British Isles was Wilhelm "Willi" Soukop (1907-95), the son of a Moravian shoemaker, who fled from Vienna as early as 1934. Although he was deported and interred in Canada in 1940, he returned to London nine months later establishing himself as a teacher at various art schools. His post-war sculpture Mother and Child (1947), lent to the gallery for this exhibition, was purchased by the University of Chichester in 1952 where it usually sits above the altar in the University Chapel.
Illustrated by Bettina
Written and illustrated by Bettina
Continuing with the theme of mother and child, Bettina (1903-85), the wife of the aforementioned Georg Ehrlich, launched a new career as a children's author and illustrator as a result of fleeing to London in 1938. By 1940, Bettina had penned and illustrated her first book Poo-Tsee, the Water Tortoise, which was followed by a further 20 books during her lifetime. As well as writing her own stories, Bettina worked as an illustrator for other authors including the American writer Virginia Haviland (1911-88).
A copy of Haviland's Favorite Fairy Tales Told in England had been lent to the Ben Uri Gallery specifically for the Out of Austria exhibition, which was displayed in a glass case, opened to a page containing two elegant pen and ink illustrations. Included nearby was an initial study for an illustration that was never got used for the story Molly Whuppie in which the small girl, Molly, steals a giant's purse from under his pillow whilst he sleeps.
Although these books and illustrations were produced after the end of World War Two and have no direct connection to the events of the Anschluss, they go to show the success Bettina achieved as a result of fleeing her home country. Had she remained in Austria, chances are she would have ended up in a Nazi concentration camp and possibly never seen again. By abandoning everything she was familiar with, she and her husband not only survived but created a positive future.
Tower Bridge, Oskar Kokoschka, 1967
Portrait of Rabbi Joseph Trostmann, Ottilie Tolansky, 1962-3
The Old Underground Station, Eric Doitch (né Siegfried Steiner), 1965
The exhibition Out of Austria ended with a selection of post-war artworks produced by Austrian-Jewish refugees. Some of these had returned to Austria or other countries in Europe, whereas, others decided to make Britain their permanent home. Regardless of where they ended up, they continued painting, sculpting and so forth, adopting new methods that evolved as a result of the war. Abstract art emerged as artists began to come to terms with the horrors of war, needing a suitable method of expressing their emotions. Political anxieties were also at the forefront of people's minds but experiences of Nazi Germany made many wary of speaking or visualising their opinions in clear, obvious manners.
The Ben Uri Gallery selected works that were not predominantly war focused, instead emphasising the determination of the Austrian immigrants to persevere with their artistic careers. From fleeing their homes, facing several months in British camps, scavenging for resources, the determination of these artists to carry on when they could so easily have given up is an inspiration to all craftsmen today.
Despite the exhibition being in honour of the memory of the annexation of Austria, it was interesting to view a range of themes and styles rather than visual representations of war. Out of Austria was a personal insight into individual artists – unique human beings – instead of a formal, grave account of the Anschluss, although accurate facts and figures were also given.
It was refreshing to note a large number of female artists amongst the 20 or so featured in the exhibition. Women have generally been written out of the history of art and are only just beginning to receive the recognition they deserve. Anschluss affected both men and women, everyone was equal in this respect.
Out of Austria finished on 29th April, however, the Ben Uri Gallery hosts a number of exhibitions throughout the year that celebrates the lives of various individuals and groups of refugees. Regardless of who the future exhibitions focus on, visitors can expect a well thought out display that truly expresses the personalities and lives of the artists despite events they have been through.
The next exhibition to take place at the Ben Uri Gallery will be Adi Nes: Bible Stories beginning on 22nd May until 10th June 2018.
