Thunder: A Retrospective – part six
Following on from what many thought was a disappointing fifth record in "Giving The Game Away" Thunder shocked the fans by announcing their intention to split up. And they did. Luke recorded a solo record (El Gringo Retro) and eventually teamed up with Danny for the "Moving Swiftly Along" Bowes & Morley record in 2002. By late 2002, the rumours were swirling that something might be happening in Thunder Towers. Continue reading "Thunder: A Retrospective – part six"

A Thundering Good Christmas
It sounds crazy, but Thunder gigs are unlike any other. It's not all about the music – although the well crafted rock songs that they churn out effortlessly are of the highest standard – a Thunder gig is an event; it's a party that 5 mates throw on the stage, and just happen to invite 1900 people to come round for a beer and a boogie.
The Thunder Christmas Party
Nottingham Rock City
The usual Christmas festivities in Thunder Towers resumed this year, with the resurrection of what their T-shirts call a great British tradition. And you know what? On this showing, they may just be right.

Are you part of The Union?
Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of Thunder, Luke Morley's new project, The Union, deserves your attention.
Now, as you may know, in a previous life (ha!) I was/am/forever will be a HUUUUGE fan of Thunder. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and Thunder split up. I have found solace, however, in THE UNION – the new band formed by ex-Thunder guitarist, song writer and all round "top bloke" Luke Morley, and former Winterville main man and Thunder friend Pete Shoulder.
Here's a sample of what they're about:
Their debut release is a three track EP, cheaply priced at just £1.99 – and if that's not persuasion enough, you can download Step Up To The Plate, the first track, free to sample their wares by simply going to their website at: TheUnionOnline.com.
Well worth a few minutes of your time, folks. Go have a listen.

Thunder: A retrospective – part three
Three years passed between the release of Laughing on Judgement Day and this, Thunder's third album. Behind Closed Doors. In those three years, founding bassist Snake Luckhurst left the band to be replaced by Swedish four-stringer Mikael Hóglund.
Behind Closed Doors (1995)
Three years passed between the release of Laughing on Judgement Day and this, Thunder's third album. Behind Closed Doors. In those three years, founding bassist Snake Luckhurst left the band to be replaced by Swedish four-stringer Mikael Hóglund. This would be Mikael's only record with the band, and I was reliably informed by my girlfriend at the time that he was "a hottie" – quite often in fact. Repeatedly, one might say.
Anyway, I digress. Upon release, the record reached #5 in the UK charts, and all 3 singles hit the UK top 40, again with little or no airplay or real media promotion, a trend that would become more and more evident as the years passed. In terms of sound, the record had a harder edge to my ears, and didn't suffer for it. The cover art is again excellent, and a signed framed poster of it can be found hanging in my hallway to this very day!
Enough of the background info, on to the music itself!
The album opens with the HUGE, grungy hook of Moth To The Flame. This is easily the heaviest track that Thunder had come out with to this point, and still stands up strong to this day. With the impact of grunge on the US and world scene, a lot of people took this as perhaps Thunder's attempt to subtly shift styles slightly; I don't see it as anything as blatant as that – it's just a great hook with darker than usual lyrics. With all the problems that Thunder had in between albums, it's hardly surprising the lyrical fare was hardly sweetness and light.
Lightening up slightly was the next track, Fly On The Wall. Taking a sly swipe at the paparazzi and the desire for celebrity gossip, this was perhaps a missed single opportunity. It's got a great strong bassline, big horns, and great vocals as usual from Danny. The backing vocals of Benny, Luke and Harry also shine through on this – the harmonies are slick and polished. All in all, a good solid track, if nothing truly spectacular.
Back to Thunder 101 now with a slow, moody ballad. I'll Be Waiting is another tale of love gone wrong. Opening with a soft hook and expanding with some keyboards, Danny's soulful, almost pained vocals take centre stage, and rightly so. Danny's voice always had power, but this is perhaps the record where the power was controlled and mellowed out into what I regard as the best kept secret in rock music. Honestly, it's not inconceivable to hold Danny Bowes up with the likes of Paul Rodgers and David Coverdale as the UK's finest ever rock voices.
Up next, the second single River of Pain, still a favourite on the live shows, and very much a typical Thunder track. Controlled riffing from Benny and Luke back up a solid rhythm from Harry and new boy Mikael – and what else is left to be said about Danny's vocals? As much as this was a good single and rocks out, there was something just formulaic about this track that still doesn't sit quite right with me. It's by no means bad, but just doesn't stick out like a Higher Ground or Love Walked In does.
Future Train, on the other hand, gets in your brain and refuses to move. From the Eastern flavoured intro, to the chugging riff that really does remind you of a train, this is for me the finest song on this record. Luke's lyrics on this one were overtly political for the first time, complaining about "a leader with an agenda to hide" and being generally pessimistic about the whole political system and the future in general, this was a departure of sorts for the band, and worked very well.
'Til The River Runs Dry remains one of the hardest songs to listen to that Thunder have committed to record. A song about domestic violence and the effect on a young woman, the hugely moving lyrics are backed up with strings and understated playing from the band that allows Danny to carry this song along. If you know anyone that's been in this situation, it really will bring a tear to your eye. A fine reminder of just how powerful music can be at times, and one of Thunder's most under rated moments.
Moving swiftly along, we come to the first single from this record, and one of the best riffs the band have produced. Stand Up hit the charts and heralded the first "comeback" that Thunder made from the wilderness of Record Company Hell. The riff is great, and for once Danny's voice isn't the focal point, allowing Luke's guitar playing to step forward. Another live favourite, even to this day.
Controversial moment approaching? Possibly. Preaching From A Chair was the first time Thunder had – and whisper this gently – swore on record, albeit a mere "I can't stomach bullshit when it's preaching from a chair". Being brutally honest, musically, this track just plods along like a mid paced album filler, but the lyrics – dissecting the music business and the sudden fascination for grunge bands and image over substance – are superb. The final minute or so does provide a great funky double guitar synchronised riff and a huge rock scream from Danny, so it does redeem itself!
The third and last single from the record, Castles In The Sand is a strange beast. On paper, it's just a good old fashioned "love left me, oh woe is me, but I'll live" kind of song, but it's transformed into an almost epic tale by some top notch musicianship. The huge chorus is amazing, and that riff gets in your head and melts your brain at times, yet still shifts back into a nice, quiet, laid back number in time for each verse. Very, very good.
Too Scared To Live is by far the lightest moment on the record. A funky, almost 70s porn guitar riff is the basis, and the band seem right on the money with their take on this one. Telling the tale of a man taken in by all the warnings that modern life seems to give us, it's light hearted, but there are serious undertones to it as well. The sheer unadulterated funkfest that seems to envelope the entire band is infectious, and you can't help but smile all the way through it.
But back to Serious Rock next with Ball and Chain – another song designed to tell you that hell, your life sucks but you can change. It's almost Higher Ground part two, to be honest. A big riff, thumping drums and a pounding bassline all contribute to this song, and another huge harmony filled chorus gives this song such a great swagger, it's an instant foot tapper. Blind Lemon Morely's harmonica also makes a welcome appearance, although no sign yet of Danny's infamous Kazoo skills…
It Happened In This Town closes off the record and it's a heavy, introspective number. Lyrically, extremely dark and seemingly based on child abuse, it's another song that, if you allow yourself to be lost in it, could bring you to tears. This is easily the darkest song that Luke has ever written. Even the guitar and organ break in the middle that allows Danny to really cut loose with some venomous vocals serves to make the whole track even more ominous.
So overall, how did Behind Closed Doors fare? It inevitably suffered from the change in the musical scene since Laughing On Judgement Day, but it still stands tall as a good record. However, it just doesn't have the instant appeal of the first two records, and there are no jaw droopingly good tracks that can compare to Love Walked In or Low Life In High Places.
That's not to say it's a bad record – it's not. But is it Thunder's best? No. Much slicker than the first two records, and a sign of the band growing in stature and confidence. As such, it's highly recommended, but not an essential purchase.
/// EDIT: It's since been pointed out to me that Castles In The Sand also hit the UK singles chart, so that information has been added to the review. ///

Thunder: A retrospective – part two
The second in my own desire to review every Thunder studio album before they finally disband – this covers 1992's "Laughing On Judgement Day"
Laughing on Judgement Day (1992)
Laughing On Judgement Day
So, 2 years on from what is widely regarded as a great debut – Thunder faced the "difficult" second album… that album would turn out to be Laughing on Judgement Day. Released in August of 1992, it stuck to the same formula of Backstreet – with Luke Morley assisting producer Andy Taylor behind the desk being the only real change.
This would prove to be Thunder's most commercially viable record, entering the charts at a staggering #2 on release. And all 4 singles released from it hitting the top 40, with A Better Man providing a top 20 hit. For a lot of Thunder fans, it's one of the most pleasurable albums to listen to and does contain a glut of genuine quality. It is also record that original member Snake Luckhurst would appear on, and without doubt the best cover to any Thunder record until Robert Johnson's Tombstone.
The record opens up in a similar vein to Backstreet Symphony with a mid paced rocker, Does It Feel Like Love? For me this one of Danny's best vocal performances ever and a stunning way to set the tone of the record. The production is stepped up just a notch, cleaner and sharper – perhaps some of the songs lose a little with that? When played live, a lot of the tracks here sounded rawer, more urgent and didn't feel any worse for it.
Following the opener is one of the four singles, Everybody Wants Her – and perhaps Thunder's most obvious commercial moments. Complete with keyboards and horns it's certainly not a bad track, but seems to be set out to sound good on a radio station, rather than sit at home on a Thunder record. Having said that, it's one of the 5 tracks on the record that Luke didn't write himself, with Benny, Danny and Harry all contributing. Decent enough, if not grab-you-by-the-scruff-of-the-neck spectacular.
Which is where the next track comes in… Given a big budget for the video, Low Life In High Places was the lead off single for the album, and is one of those stone cold Thunder classic songs that should have been huge. Dealing with the issue of homelessness, it starts out with an acoustic intro, before kicking in with a HUGE riff, infectious chorus and an equally huge performance from Danny on vocals. This has become a live favourite, and indeed one of the moments when Danny gets to strut his stuff and demonstrate his vocal prowess. Utterly, utterly brilliant.
The title track, Laughing On Judgement Day, is up next. Following Low Life… is a hard task though and it maybe gets lost in the mix a little. While the subject matter of commercialism and working at the expense of your family is a fine one, the song perhaps doesn't really have enough kick to remain in the memory for too long. Harry's drumming is monstrous on this track though, it has to be said.
Empty City is for me, the best track on the record, and right up there with the best work that Thunder have put out over the years. Atmospheric, dark, brooding, sprawling… all of these and more apply to this seven minute monster of a track. Danny's soulful Paul Rodgers-esque vocals hold your attention while the sublime guitar work of Benny and Luke draw you in further.
The riff that explodes in the mid section is big and bold enough to knock down a house, and would make Status Quo cry into their blue denims and trainers. Seriously, this is one of those "How were they never big?" moments that Thunder records and gigs seem to be full of. Worth looking out this record JUST for this track.
Following on from that was never an easy task, but Today The World Stopped Turning just about manages it. While it's not a show stopper, it's not a simple filler either. A nice mid paced moment with a big chorus to ease you back into things. A nice old fashioned pure love song, and no worse for it.
With a hammond organ intro, presumably courtesy of the multi talented Mr. Matthews, Long Way From Home is a slow burning track. Again, Danny's vocals are soulful and passionate, a trend on this record, and no bad thing. The chorus on those is a huge sing-along moment, and it's a shame this was never really played beyond the tour to back this record up.
Make sure your volume is up to hear Harry's comedy intro to Fire To Ice followed by the call to 'Get On With It' and a HUGE riff, one of the best Luke and Ben have ever committed to record and a staple of my Thunder playlists. This song about alcoholism is far from a mid record moment, and could theoretically have been another single. The chorus on this is incredible, and Danny's vocals, again, impeccable.
Another huge riff brings in Feeding The Flame, a simple song about love once lost, but with a typical Thunder twist on it. This record really has some of the best riffs that the band ever produced, small wonder a lotf fans absolutely love it. Not much to really say about this track, it is, while pretty damned good, just… 'there'.
Onto the biggest hit taken from the record, a #18 stormer! A Better Man features 'Blind Lemon' Morley on harmonica as mentioned on stage numerous times by Danny. Ironic, as when performed live, this is often when Danny takes a break and drummer Harry James steps forward with acoustic guitar in hand to take over lead vocals… On record however, this is such a beautiful song, and one of my all time favourites. Simple chords, simple melodies, simple harmonies… not everything has to be technically complicated to provide an amazing song. This is a great, great song and again, should have been a bigger hit than it was.
Following on from that is another one of my personal favourites, another song about love and it's many woes. The Moment Of Truth will never win any prizes for originality – it does have a distinctly Lenny Kravitz feel in places – but hell, it rocks and the lyrics are truly awesome in my mind… Play it loud and screech along to the chorus, peeps… you know you want to!
Yeah, this next one? Flawed To Perfection is the title, and an apt description. It's so bad in places that it's good! "There's a ladder in her stockings that I'd love to climb / I'm hot under the collar for the hundredth time" – not Luke's finest hour! The song is carried by a great riff, and the fact you can sense the guys laughing as they're playing it. It's just a silly, throwaway little song. Nothing more, nothing less.
Like A Satellite was the last single from the record, and seems a logical, solid Record Company choice. It's a big, sweeping 5 minute rock ballad that the radio stations eat up. Granted, it's one of the better examples, with Harry's inspired drumming backing up an understated riff and allowing Danny's soaring vocals to carry this one, along with a glorious twin guitar solo that could have been lifted from the Eagles or Thin Lizzy.
To close the record, Baby I'll Be Gone is a great choice. It's sleazy, dirty, hook gets in your brain and won't get out, and as per the norm for this record, Danny's vocals are spot on. Track for track, I really don't think Danny has ever sounded better on record than over these 14 tracks. A nice easy way to close out the record.
So does it live up to the standards of Backstreet Symphony that every Thunder record is eventually judged against? Yes. It's not as good, but it's not THAT far off it. It's vastly under-rated as a stand alone record in it's own right, as far as I'm concerned. It's got it's down moments, sure, but it more than makes up for those. Not as an essential purchase as Backstreet… but get it anyway!
"Once in a while, I drift in time…
to a place in my memory that it still hurts to find.
I was takin' on the world with a see through smile,
but dyin' on the inside all the while"
— Thunder, A Better Man

Home New Voices The Military, Constitutional Democracy, and Egypt
The Military, Constitutional Democracy, and Egypt
—Ozan Varol, Lewis & Clark Law School
[Editors' Note: In this forum on Egypt and New Perspectives on Constitution-Making, three young scholars of comparative constitutional law – Ozan Varol, Will Partlett, and David Landau – discuss their recent work on constitution-making and democratic transitions, focusing on Egypt. The work offers counter-intuitive predictions about the pace and design of the process, as well as the role of undemocratic actors like the Egyptian military in the transition.]
I am delighted to join David Landau and William Partlett in exploring how recent comparative constitutional law scholarship may inform our understanding of the ongoing transition process in Egypt. Two of my most recent articles analyze the constitutional and political role of the military in transitions from autocracy to democracy: The Democratic Coup d'État, 53 Harvard International Law Journal 291 (2012) and The Military as the Guardian of Constitutional Democracy, 50 Columbia Journal of Transnational Law (forthcoming Summer 2013). In this post, I will summarize the central claims of these articles and briefly explain how they bear upon the constitutional transition in progress in Egypt.
The Democratic Coup d'État examines the typical characteristics and constitutional consequences of a largely neglected phenomenon that I call the "democratic coup d'état." To date, the academic legal literature has analyzed all military coups under an anti-democratic framework. That conventional framework considers military coups to be entirely anti-democratic and assumes that all coups are perpetrated by power-hungry military officers seeking to depose existing regimes in order to rule their nations indefinitely. Under the prevailing view, therefore, all military coups constitute an affront to stability, legitimacy, and democracy.
The Democratic Coup d'État challenges that conventional view and its underlying assumptions. The article argues that, although all military coups have anti-democratic features, some coups are distinctly more democracy-promoting than others because they respond to popular opposition against authoritarian or totalitarian regimes, overthrow those regimes, and facilitate free and fair elections.
Following a democratic coup, the military temporarily governs the nation as part of an interim government until democratic elections take place. The article argues that, throughout the democratic transition process, the military behaves as a self-interested actor and entrenches, or attempts to entrench, its policy preferences into the new constitution drafted during the transition. In democratic coups, therefore, the people and the military seem to strike a Faustian bargain where the military extracts a price in the form of constitutional entrenchment in exchange for deposing a dictatorship and turning power over to the people.
To explain the democratic coup phenomenon and the constitutional entrenchment thesis, The Democratic Coup d'État uses a number of comparative case studies, including the February 2011 coup in Egypt that toppled the autocratic Hosni Mubarak government. The Egyptian military staged a coup in response to a persistent popular uprising against the Mubarak regime and, upon assuming power, announced its intention to transition the nation to a democracy and hold free and fair elections. The presidential and parliamentary elections that followed were viewed as free and fair by most major accounts, and the military surrendered its authorities without protest following President Mohamed Morsi's consolidation of legislative and executive power in August 2012.
Throughout the transition process in Egypt, however, the military behaved as a self-interested actor. To protect its social and economic privileges, the ruling military leaders attempted to entrench their policy preferences into the new constitution by a variety of methods that I discuss in the article. It remains to be seen whether these attempts will bear fruit. The early partial draft of the new Egyptian Constitution recently released for public discussion does not include the chapter on civil-military relations. It will be interesting to see the extent to which the civilian institutions in Egypt will have constitutional oversight over the military, including its economic and social empire.
My forthcoming article, The Military as the Guardian of Constitutional Democracy, picks up from where The Democratic Coup d'État left off and asks whether the military can provide institutional support to an emerging democracy after democratic procedures have been established. The world is littered with failed democratic transitions, and the establishment of a constitutional democracy remains the least likely result of an attempted transition. This article analyzes whether the constitutional savior of these failed democracies may, in some cases, be found where we have not been looking—i.e., outside the traditional institutions in Montesquieu's tripartite system. I challenge the prevailing orthodoxy in constitutional theory that a constitutional or political role for the military in a nascent democracy automatically hinders democratic progress. Rather, I argue that certain militaries (what I call "interdependent militaries") can play, and have played, a democracy-promoting role in the initial phases of a transition from autocracy to constitutional democracy. In brief, the interdependent military is ordinarily composed of citizen-soldiers, responsive to international democratic norms, and focused on external, not internal, threats.
I argue that the interdependent military is capable of providing institutional support to an emerging democracy because its institutional self-interests often align with the conditions that Madison and others have identified as conducive to the genesis of a constitutional democracy: intra-state stability, political pluralism, and national unity. Using comparative case studies, I explore how the interdependent militaries' self-interested actions have counter-intuitively promoted democratic development in fledgling democracies and constrained unilateral exercises of power. To be sure, there are certainly costs associated with enlisting institutional support from the military, and in some cases, those costs will outweigh the benefits. My aim in this article is to explain the neglected benefits the military may provide to a nascent democracy as a by-product of furthering its self-interests and analyze how we can minimize the costs.
Consider, for example, political pluralism. The establishment of competitive political parties, and a political marketplace in which those parties can compete, are the primary factors in determining a state's probability of becoming and remaining a democracy. In a post-authoritarian society, however, political parties are likely to be weak or nonexistent since the authoritarian regime ensures its own survival by stifling political opposition and pluralism. But the military, which is necessary to the survival of most nations, is often left untouched. And in some cases, the military may have an institutional interest in maintaining political opposition in a post-authoritarian nation and preventing the domination of the government by a single politically powerful group. If a political party becomes too powerful, that party can threaten the military's interests, curb the military's powers, or strip the military of its economic and social privileges. In contrast, the military may find more comfort and autonomy in the division of political powers that political competition would produce. Unless the military is assured that the ruling party will protect the military's interests and not renege on that commitment—an uncertain proposition amidst a democratic transition process ordinarily characterized by shifting interests and alliances—political pluralism will be a safer bet for military leaders. In other words, in keeping one powerful party in check to protect its interests, the military may tend to promote the proliferation of others, which has positive effects for democratic development.
For example, although the Egyptian military does not squarely fit within the interdependent mold I describe in the article, its self-interested actions during the transition process have still produced some positive, and likely unintended, results for political pluralism in Egypt. In the immediate aftermath of the 2011 coup that toppled the Hosni Mubarak regime, the Egyptian military's interests were aligned to a large extent with those of the Muslim Brotherhood. From the military's perspective, the Brotherhood promised much-desired stability after a tumultuous revolution and a turbulent transition period. The military and the Brotherhood thus appeared to be in a tacit partnership that would allow the military to maintain order and protect its economic and social privileges. As the democratic transition progressed and the Brotherhood grew to be overly ambitious and opportunistic, the military's interests shifted. Instead of supporting the Brotherhood's political agenda, the military began to oppose it. Concerned with the growing threat to its social and economic interests from the Brotherhood, the military launched a campaign, aided by the judiciary, to ensure that the Constituent Assembly and the parliament were not dominated by the Brotherhood and meaningfully represented opposition interests. The military's protection of its self-interests, therefore, also had the counter-intuitive by-product of promoting, at least to some extent, political pluralism and opposition in Egypt.
Ideally, of course, it would be civilian, not military, leaders that would enable the requisite conditions to establish and sustain a constitutional democracy. In the frequent absence of such civilian institutions, however, it may be necessary to enlist the assistance of non-traditional and second-best actors, such as the interdependent military, as one democracy-promoting actor among many and temporarily preserve, during the initial stages of the democratic-transition process when the process is at its most fragile point, admittedly counter-majoritarian checks and balances on the elected branches to promote democratic progress. In an imperfect transition process, the second best may be the best we can do.

Internet dating and shop-bought beer cheaper than water are just two reasons why more pubs and clubs are closing than opening, a Wigan expert said today.
Tony Callaghan, whose own InnTheBar empire has been enjoying a trend-bucking expansion, was commenting after latest Office for National Statistics figures showed that the number of "nightclubs" in the borough fell from 60 to 45 between 2013 and 2018.
Even though a lot of new pubs are also springing up, a lot of these aren't lasting that long and nationally the figures are going down by between 20 and 30 hostelries a week.
Mr Callaghan said that businesses need to recognise that times are changing.
He added: "It's hard to know what a nightclub constitutes these days because since the 24-hour opening deregulation pubs can stay open just as long as places where people go to dance.
"One thing that has changed though is that nightclubs were once a place where boys and girls went to 'pull' after a night out on the town.
"These days they don't need to leave home because they can all do it on their phone at the press of a button and someone turns up on their doorsteps!
"Then there is the availability of very cheap alcohol in supermarkets. If you can buy beer that's cheaper than water then the tendency becomes to pre-load and only turn up at the clubs late.
"With so many pubs staying open into the early hours, then what we might categorise as traditional nightclubs are less able to charge an entrance fee as they used to, unless they have live acts on, so that affects them too.
Among clubs to have gone in Wigan in recent years are Maxime's, Liquid, Chicago Rock and Walkabout. Mr Callaghan has, in fact, opened more pubs, saying he can only credit this with casing a particular area so that a new outlet has a personal touch with staff the locals can get to know and are aware of the area's heritage.
Across England, the number of clubs has fallen by 16 per cent since 2013.

Q: ..NET core identity login requires two clicks I'm seeing odd behavior with the login/logout routes. I have the front-end set up using React. When the Login button is clicked, it makes an ajax call to a route /login, which then runs the login function below:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Post([FromBody] LoginModel loginModel) {
  if (!ModelState.IsValid) {
    return new BadRequestResult();
  }
  var signInResult = await SignInManager.PasswordSignInAsync(loginModel.Username, loginModel.Password, false, false);
  if (signInResult.Succeeded) {
    var currentUser = await UserManager.GetUserAsync(User);
    if (currentUser == null) {
      return new BadRequestResult();
    }
    var myUserModel = Mapper.Map<MyUser, MyUserModel>(currentUser);
    return new OkObjectResult(myUserModel);
  }
  return new BadRequestResult();
}

The issue is that I have to click the button twice. The first time I click it, this function hits currentUser == null, so it returns a 400. But the second time I click it, it works just fine.
I am trying to login, then return the user object back to the front-end.

The Stump Speech Becomes Secularism's Sermon
Flattery, politics, & the search for power
And yet, there is cause to think that this unbelief has become the very ground of a new positive consensus. It entails the unavoidably moral and religious inclinations that have always belonged to man, but attaches to them the kind of political and sociological expressions that Bottum describes in his book.
What Text will now Define & Describe Ontology?
Being & Act in a Brief Assessment of Vedantic Philosophy
If Western modern philosophy is to be faulted for its own Enlightenment presuppositions—ironically ill-disposed as it became to the Biblical revelation, also—so must the Indian schools face the nature and source of their own most basic assumptions.
Inspiration & Intelligibility
Language, revelation, and its religious misuse: Contrasting the character of biblical and Vedic speech
Revelation is by virtue of the Son and carried out by the Spirit, effecting understanding and a renewed relation between God and men. In scripture, language is made to serve God in a rational and benighted soul and make him a devoted soul. God's words are given to us by the prophets, inscribed with a pen.
The Gift of Samuel
Children, Intimacy & Divine Desire
Hedonists everywhere should be concerned; after all, lust is what it has always been. Even when it is attended by pleasure, lust remains ungratified and ungratifying. This will surprise no one, but it does seem to bother some. Otherwise, there would not be such a rush to exalt lust as love, or to confuse their rewards.

Mental Retardation - Athetosis -Microphthalmia refers to a form of intellectual disability that is characterized mainly by below-average mental ability, involuntary muscle contraction, small eyes, and missing teeth. Like other individuals with intellectual disability, an individual with this condition often has problems with reasoning and solving problems, as well as performing day-to-day tasks. The condition is also often diagnosed during childhood. Doctors diagnose this form of intellectual disability if abnormal muscle behavior and small eyes are observed. Signs like walking and talking late, slow mastering of basic tasks, and having difficulty remembering things may also suggest this condition in children. Treatment is based on a case-by-case basis and depends on the specific needs of the patient. Muscle and eye specialists are consulted to offer treatment for abnormal muscle behavior and problems with the eye. Doctors seek help from various therapists and community services to provide support and care for families affected by intellectual disability.

If you're on a holiday to Buffalo NY, you're probably visiting for the Niagara Falls, but there's much more to do here in this lively city. The number one attraction in Buffalo has to be the world-famous Niagara Falls. Located just on the outskirts of the city, this incredible landmark bridges the gap between America and Canada and makes for an impressive holiday shot! But back in the centre, Buffalo is a city full of architectural treasures and you'll find designs by almost every great modern architect here. One of the most popular of these is the geometric creation of the Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House Complex. Outside, there's plenty to see too and the gorgeous Forest Lawn cemetery is packed with gnarly trees, ornate mausoleums and plenty of famous historic names to spot.
Join a guided tour to see them all. If that's not enough, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens is filled with beautiful flower collections and rare cacti displays. If you're more of an animal lover than a gardener, head to the Buffalo Zoo where you can get up close and personal with gorillas, giraffes, lions, hyenas and rhinoceros amongst other furry friends. In the way of historic landmarks, you've got the Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park and the fascinating Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. Artists will want to check out the Albright-Knox Art Gallery which sits on a picturesque hill overlooking Hoyt Lake.

Retaining walls are used for holding back soil so an area can be excavated. They can be constructed with small spaces using either bored piles or sheet piles being determined by the nature and condition of the soil itself and the site conditions. Contiguous pile walls are an innovative way to build retaining walls.
They are formed by a series of drilled shafts and are used primarily where there are unsuitable ground conditions for sheet piles or nearby property preventing driving piles. Bored pile walls are attractive near buildings, roads and other sensitive structures because of the lack of noise and vibration during the construction.

Q: C# IBM MQ client sending my own messageId I am sending an MQ message and getting a messageID and correlationID back in return as expected, and I can capture the response from specific message that I send using the messageID returned by the MQ server.
I put my application into a load testing tool and I saw that in some cases the messageID returned by the queue manager was the same as a previous message, and in these cases the app failed to read the next message with the same messageID.
I'm not the owner of the queue manager and the response from the admin was "created your own message id".
Can I do that? Does the messageID need to have a specific format?
This is my code :
            message = strInputMsg;
            queueMessage = new MQMessage();
            queueMessage.WriteString(message);
            queueMessage.Format = MQC.MQFMT_STRING;
            queueMessage.Expiry = timeOutExpiry;
            queueMessage.ReplyToQueueName = QueueNameExpiry;
            queuePutMessageOptions = new MQPutMessageOptions();
            queuePutMessageOptions.Options =       MQC.MQRO_COPY_MSG_ID_TO_CORREL_ID;
            queue.Put(queueMessage, queuePutMessageOptions);
            bytReturn = queueMessage.MessageId;

So can I set the MessageID property to my own message ID value before I send the message, like the below?
queueMessage.MessageId = myOwnMessageId

A: Yes, it's possible that the code sets the message ID explicitly but your code appears to not reuse the MQMD structure which is how that normally happens.  It is more likely based on your description and code provided that the load testing tool is replaying the same messages multiple times and preserving the Message ID while doing so.
If MQ is allowed to set the Message ID it guarantees this to be unique within the queue manager for IDs that it generates.  It does not guarantee a GUID across many queue managers but does attempt to ensure no collisions by including 12 characters of the QMgr name in the Message ID.  So although we have no information as to which load testing tool is being used and if it employs message replay, that possibility seems much more likely than that MQ has a bug that duplicates message IDs during execution of the .Net MQMessage() class constructor.
Please see:
MQMessage.NET class which says "Creates an MQMessage object with default message descriptor information..." Of course, the default MQMD causes the QMgr to generate the Message ID.
MQMD - MsgId (MQBYTE24) which explains in a note at the bottom how MsgID is made to be unique and in the body how it can be controlled by the application putting the messages.


The HIEA is working with the NC Department of Health and Human Services and Appriss Health to build a single sign-on to the NC HealthConnex clinical portal utilizing the Appriss interface.
This integration will create an additional pathway for providers to access the state's prescription drug monitoring program, NC CSRS (Controlled Substances Reporting System) and help combat the opioid epidemic in North Carolina. Perthe Strengthen Opioid Misuse Prevention (STOP) Act of 2017, or the STOP Act(NCSL 2017-74), health care providers in North Carolina who prescribe controlled substances must access a patient report from the CSRS to verify a patient's prescription fill history of controlled substances prior to writing prescriptions for targeted controlled substances.
Thisphase 1 integration allows the end user already accessing the longitudinal NC HealthConnex clinical portal to view the CSRS report along with the risk scores without leaving the HIE Portal. This simple process does not require the user to log into another system outside of the HIE portal and is integrated into the portal workflow. When the provider views the report, the system automatically records that into the audit logs, providing support for CSRS use requirements in the STOP Act. The anticipated delivery of this service is Quarter 1 of 2019.
Additional means of delivering CSRS reports and data directly into NC HealthConnex participants' workflows are also being explored for subsequent implementation.The NC HIEA anticipates this work later next year to be especially beneficial for participants that utilize an EHR that cannot support the Appriss API, as well as others who wish to limit the number of new interfaces to external systems.

Forget your customers. Sell to your employees first.
A business and its departments are only as strong as the teams that support them. When a specific function within a team isn't performing at its full capacity, the business as a whole is at a disadvantage. As communication practices evolve, it is critical for business leaders to properly cultivate employee support for change and new initiatives. A well-produced internal communication strategy is capable of identifying gaps in communication while amplifying employee advocacy.
Internal campaigns are part of a strategic, ongoing process that equips all employees with the ability to consistently and systematically communicate with the right stakeholders at each stage of a business's life cycle. A team that is on board for change sets the stage for the business or department to achieve the highest levels of performance.
Although an internal communications network is far from a new idea, enterprise social networks (ESN) are vastly different from their intranet cousins. Mainly, enterprise social networks mimic the look and feel of the networks we've come to use daily, but in doing so encourage a dialogue in which all employee voices are equal to that of the most senior executive. Our focus is dismantling the top-down communication chain. Much like the childhood game of 'telephone', a message sent from one end, through multiple people, are rarely communicated to the last person as they were initially intended to be.

El Ciclo de Jespersen es en lingüística histórica el proceso que describe la evolución de la negación en ciertas lenguas. En varios idiomas como el francés, el inglés antiguo, el galés o el bereber, se ha comprobado cómo la oración negativa pasa de un único adverbio de negación tras el pronombre personal a dos partículas negativas antes y después del verbo, para posteriormente perder el marcador preverbal de la negación y dejar únicamente el adverbio de negación final. El término fue acuñado por el lingüista sueco Östen Dahl en una publicación de 1979 titulada Tipología de la oración negativa, y su nombre es en honor al lingüista danés Otto Jespersen, quien identificó por primera vez este ciclo en la década de 1910 con su obra La negación en inglés y otros idiomas.

Introducción

El lingüista Otto Jespersen comenzó su libro con las siguientes palabras:

Desde entonces, el proceso se ha descrito en muchos idiomas de varias familias diferentes, y es particularmente notable en el francés, el galés y algunos dialectos del árabe (palestino) y del bereber, como el tamazight del Marruecos Central. En determinadas lenguas chámicas habladas en algunas regiones de Camboya, Vietnam y Hainan también se ha apreciado la presencia del ciclo de Jespersen. El italiano y las diversas lenguas regionales italianas también están experimentando una transformación similar.

Ejemplos

El ciclo consta de tres pasos:

 La negación se expresa mediante un elemento colocado antes del verbo. Por ejemplo, en francés antiguo: «Je ne dis» (o «Jeo ne dis»).
 Dos elementos son obligatorios para expresar la negación, uno antes del verbo y otro después: «Je ne dis pas» en francés estándar.
 El primer adverbio se vuelve opcional, o incluso desaparece por completo: «Je dis pas» en francés coloquial.

El inglés también pasó por el ciclo de Jespersen al principio de su historia: por ejemplo, «I didn't see» se expresaría en inglés antiguo como «ic ne geseah»; luego se fortaleció con la palabra «nauȝt» (del inglés antiguo «nawiht», "ninguna cosa") en inglés medio («I ne ysauȝ nauȝt»), para concluir en inglés moderno temprano con «I saw not». El mismo desarrollo ocurrió en los otros idiomas germánicos como el alemán y el neerlandés, que produjeron sus respectivas partículas negativas pospuestas «nicht» y «niet», primero duplicando y finalmente expulsando la partícula negativa original *ne / *ni.

Opinion: Chappelle was just being real
The ones who has issues with Comedian Dave Chappelle after his Netflix special 'the Closer' that premiered on the 5th October 2021. It has caused an outcry and sparked controversy. While watching it… I only saw the same real comedian that I gotten know over all the years. The stories, the tales and the reality he describes seems "legit". So, why this issue now?
Yes, there is always a need to address minorities and their rights. There is a need to viable and be direct about it. Discussions and talks, where people have to in the end, agree to disagree and still be cordial. However, with the comedy special have gotten twisted into something else.
Yes, Chappelle is direct and doesn't spare any of his words. He knows his craft and has a capacity to blow someone's mind. The jokes he had was poignant and blasphemous in the woke crowds of the internet. Nevertheless, these folks cannot take a joke or live in our reality. As they want everything to be "correct" and not without consequences. That's why it's easy to target the stand-up comedian for telling his story.
Not like Chappelle would change legislation or give more power to you. No, he is just addressing the double standards, the way the LGBTQ have vast power, but no checks or balances on it. Yes, they still have grievances, but who doesn't right? They are not alone in society and they have come really far. That's why any sort of Marvel and DC hero is becoming LGBTQ while there is nobody writing stories, which challenges your mind or entertains you for long. Therefore, the group should think about the focus and losing strike to assault Chappelle.
Chappelle even stated that he was tarnished by the group wrongly and been labelled by them. While he never had any real grudges. Heck, he even helped a Trans-Woman to become a better comedian. If he had issues with their "tribe" wouldn't he had shunned her? Not talked and respected her? Well, he did… so the ones going after him. Don't like that someone with a huge platform addresses the matter.
The same proof of hypocrisy is stated in the joke on the situation earlier this year of the rapper DaBaby. Who spoke his mind and tried to damage control it afterwards. He was homophobic and speaking ill of it. Alas, that was more damaging to his career, as Dua Lipa and others distances themselves from him. While nobody had any issues with him… because he killed someone at Wall Mart before his career popped-off. Therefore, you can quickly question the morality and the value of their believes.
This is why Chappelle's Comedy Special is important. Because, it proves the reality. You might not agree with it or accept it. However, if you want things to move forward and understand the questions of our time. There is a need for pieces like these. You cannot have a Political Correct skit or jokes. Nobody will laugh at that and it will be a direct-to-DVD failure of a project. Nobody will watch it or care about it. It is dead on arrival and there was nothing to salvage. Only the pay-checks paid by the producers and the companies involved. The general public will not feel it or even bother.
That's why Chappelle and such needs to speak their mind. They open an conversation. He proves it and explains the matters with fine detail. He takes responsibility, but also humility. Chappelle isn't policing, but reacting to the pushbacks, which isn't fair to him. Since they don't really know him or his kind. They had labelled him before he went up on stage. Why do you think he should bother to be peaceful and ignorant?
Chappelle is now controversial for good. He drops the bag and everyone can see it. The ones who is displeased cannot mange the reality we live in. They cannot manage their expectations or what is really going on. There are things missing and people who feels touched, feels betrayed and questioned by this. However, have they seen any of other pieces? It is not like he haven't used this sort of humour before… and they should have been prepared.
Chappelle is bold. He doesn't pack himself in correctness or badging himself in what is right at the time. Chappelle just spoke his mind and explained a discrepancy in society. However, trying to cancel him is a lost cause. He will just grow stronger. If you have issues with what he said. Try to get legislators to work on legislation and just laws. Make sure the government institutions and everyone else follows these ideals. Not expect a comedian to dance to your tune. That's not happening. Because, if he did? He wouldn't be funny. Period. Peace.

Opinion: If Sen. Graham is gay, then he has lived a life of hypocrisy in Office
"Like maybe I'm having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin, I know it's really gonna upset a lot of gay men — I'm sure hundreds of 'em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge — but I ain't available. I ain't gay. Sorry" – Lindsey Graham (07.07.2010).
The South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has allegedly been outed as gay. That he has ordered male escorts (sex-workers) to his home and gotten them to sign non-disclosure agreements. There is on story on Medium, where one comes out as one of them. His nickname is also "Lady G". Though I don't know if the G is for the G-Spot, Gangsta, Grudge or Groin. There are so many things it could mean but that`s up for the Senator to reveal when he is ready.
However, the allegation isn't new for this man. Greg Hambrick wrote the piece called "Is Lindsey Graham gay?" published on the 12th September 2007 in the Charleston City Paper. Where Greg stated:
" In a post on who's next out of the closet following Craig's arrest, blogger Michael Signorile (www.signorile.com) first points a questioning finger at Graham. "Let's have a real investigation of the rumors about South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who … has been rumored to be gay for years," Signorile says. "Like Larry Craig, Graham has voted antigay — including for the federal marriage amendment — while people in South Carolina and Washington have discussed what some say is an open secret for a long, long time."" (Hambrick, 2007).
Because, if Lindsey is a gay-man, he surely haven't furthered their (LGBT) interests in office. Because he has to work like a Christian-Conservative and hence wouldn't be expecting/acting as gay person would do. That is just a reality, that Graham cannot hide away from.
Maybe, that's why he has done those years in office: In 1998 voted YES to ban adaption for same-sex couples in D.C. In 2006 voted YES in a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage. In 2008, he supported an Constitutional Amendment banning Same-Sex Marriage. He has accepted in 2016 the verdict of Supreme Court not allowing Same-Sex Marriage.
This is just some of it. For me, its fine if he lives life as a gay and also be a proud "Lady G". Lindsey can live his convictions and his conscience. Graham can love whoever he wants and I am not the one to judge that.
However, what is striking is the hypocrisy here. "If " he is indeed Lady G, why would he has made life harder for LGBT or the LGBTQ community in the United States? As he has worked hard and have been directly involved in legislation and policies making life harder for them. Surely, he has done this for his own political gains and to show his stature as a conservative right?
Alas, there is where the problem lays now. As the backlash is coming towards Senator Graham. These speculations have been going on for years. Now articles from escort services are coming out too. This is clearly unleashing a backdrop, where the Senator cannot escape at this point.
So they say "the cat is out of the bag" : Senator Graham cannot just dismiss this as speculations, alleged affairs and such anymore. Especially, when the Medium Article goes viral. That is why his nickname is out and his other persona is viraly known. People like voters and most especially the opposing side will wonder what more dirty laundries his hiding.
Phillip Huang wrote this: "In November of 2013, Lindsey Graham hired me as an escort. We met at the Westmore Hotel in Baltimore. I did not know, of course, that it was Senator Graham (he used the name 'Brad' in his texts) until I opened the door. If I was surprised, I didn't show it. I excused myself and went in the bathroom, where I googled his image, just to be sure. Yep. It's Senator Graham, all right" (Huang – 'Lindsey Graham Hired Me As An Escort', 06.06.2020)
Graham can live with his own conscience and with his own life-style as he pleases. However, his policing and politicking into other people's personal life over the years in office makes it really hard for us not to see the hypocrisy. All his past political bickering against the LGBT community is like his way of playing the "Great Pretender" if this is all true. Peace.

The West is a bit late: Kicking and Screaming about President Magufuli's actions!
I wish there was more worried voices, when the President John Pombe Magufuli censored radio stations. When he used time and efforts to silence journalists and newspapers. I wish there was more voices when he got bloggers and social media personalities to stop and pay higher taxes. I wish there was more worried voices when the opposition and activists was behind bars. These has all happen within a year time. Still, that haven't catched much flack or buzz. Nearly nothing has scratched the surface.
This proves the government and the totalitarian ways of Magufuli and the Chama Cha Mapinduzi. Magufuli (CCM) wants all the love and no criticism. That is just the way that man is, he is certainly not getting a big enough boost at home, so he has to build his confidence at the public office. That seems to be the thing.
You know that this government is going overboard, when big-stars and musicians are getting their songs blocked from being played on the radio. One celebrity was unlucky and got her sex-tape leaked. In other countries that would have been PR Boast and ratings special, but in Tanzania. She got a meeting with the law. Therefore, this state is already unfair. As the person was a victim of a personal files and tapes being leaked. Not that she was starting a personal porn-hub.
That is why I am bit mad today. I have a deja vu'. Had the same feeling when the Anti-Gay Bill was ushered in Uganda a few years back. Instead of looking at the systemic reasons for the default law, the oppression and the acts of impunity against the public from the NRM. The public outcry and from foreign donors was against that one simple bill. Even if the bill is spiteful and morally bankrupt. The ones crying out loud, should enforce their vision to whole society and the whole system built around the President. Instead of looking at one minority, they should wonder and look at all the people looked up for their political activism. However, that train has never arrived and still isn't.
That is why I know today's plea, is a fart in the wind. But let's be clear. The Anti Gay Monitoring Unit of Tanzania isn't a policy. It is a bad idea, but so is everything else I have mentioned. It is only a fresh day or two, since the ACT Wazalendo Chairman Zitto Kabwe was freed from prison. Another political suspect and been detained a lot lately has been Tindu Lissu. So, it is not like there is free space and freedom in the first place.
Even on the 26th April 2018, on the Union Day, as the Opposition planned rallies. The cities and towns was under a military siege. As the President didn't want anyone to be dissidents. However, the rallies didn't happen and was more of ghost-towns. Therefore, the President didn't get any rallies against him, but neither get a noble celebration of the Union of the Republic.
That the EU and USA are reviewing their relationship with Tanzania now is a bit bitter to me. Why didn't it matter, that opposition and MPs got into trouble with the law? Why didn't it matter that the media houses was closed and lost license for while? Why didn't the rights matter, when bloggers and social media personalities lost their freedom and space?
But now the LGBT is in trouble, then your start screaming and shouting. You see how dumb it looks? You didn't even flinch when the same government suspended girls who got pregnant, therefore, all girls are getting twice a year checked by the school. To ensure that they are not. Therefore, teenage girls are in trouble if they are pregnant before their ending schooling.
That is why I have trouble with the scrutiny today. Not that is deserved, as the supposed crackdown on the LGBT community in Tanzania is bad, but you should have seen it coming with all the other measures done by the Magufuli regime and his ways. Where he is acting as the lovely kingpin, who can even tell how woman are supposed to dress. That is why this was coming to you, but you didn't mind the other things he did. But you start bitching when he goes after the LGBT.
You should have cared much sooner, now your late. These reforms was a slow-train coming. It was bound to happen. He gotten away with much bad in the past and now took it to another level. You accepted the others. But didn't review it over the suspensions and closing of media houses. Off arresting MPs and Opposition leaders, you didn't stop him from enforcing strict laws and levying high taxes on publications, social media and such. No, just let him be, without fearing his actions. However, now that he went for a group of this stature. Your reacting!
Sorry, but your late. Time to take actions for all, not just the LGBT. That is if, if you care about the human rights. Because you didn't care, when one fell, but now they fall. You are kicking and screaming. Peace.
