Namaste Modiji, I like vividh bharati most than any other radio or TV channel. But being a working woman I can not spare more time on the all programmes. Recently, in one of the Gujarati News Paper, I read the experience of the sinior citizen on the feeling of the 15th August, 1947 that as there were very few nos. of radio, all the people of city or town were gathered on two or three radio set which were on the hotels. All the people of India were enjoyed that night and each and every moment of radio they have enjoyed most, after that they have never experienced such type of cheers till date. I know that at that time vividh bharati was not in existence. But this is my humble request that can provide these moments on vividh bharati now? Please take this seriously.
Modi ji your are doing wonderful job. I really enjoying our vividh bharati.
it is true that i am head of the channel today... but who knows about tomorrow....? may be i am placed at some other station... or i have to leave this job, so before it happens, i thought i should become one of u people because i love vividhbharati too like all of you.

Former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed serves as a cautionary tale (YDR opinion)
York Daily Record editorial
Former Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed's museum quests always seemed a little bit nutty. OK, more than a little bit. They were full-on wacky.
A National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg?
Why? The city had no direct connection to the Civil War (unlike, oh, let's see... Hanover and York and Wrightsville). Granted, the burning of the Wrightsville bridge was to prevent the Rebs from getting to the state capital, but that's a thin thread. The need for a Civil War museum 30 miles from the real deal of Gettysburg was never clear.
And if that museum was out in left field, Mr. Reed's idea for a Wild West Museum in Harrisburg was way out in the parking lot.
(Speaking of ballfields, many local folks still bitterly resent Mr. Reed's nasty refusal to allow York to intrude on the Senators' market monopoly so we could get a Major League Baseball-affiliated club.)
The Wild West Museum pitch was lunacy — and almost everyone said so when the idea went public.
But that didn't stop Mr. Reed from going on buying binges, purchasing items to fill a monument to his megalomania.
Now state Attorney General Kathleen Kane (herself the subject of a grand jury probe) says Mr. Reed's artifact roundup was more Jesse James than Wyatt Earp. A long list of charges allege he acquired many of the museum items using improper funding sources and kept many items for himself.
It's up to a court of law to determine guilt or innocence in those charges.
But even if he's not criminally culpable, the museum quest episode is a cautionary tale for other politicians about the dangers of unchecked power and political arrogance.
Charging documents and news reports paint a picture of a Reed administration that seemed to operate beyond the bounds of normal checks and balances.
He was the mayor and what he said went. He was Harrisburg government. Heck, he even acted as spokesman for routine TV news crime story stand-ups.
The Stephen Reed story is incomplete at this point, but it looks like one that has the makings of a Greek tragedy: A great man with much promise is brought low by hubris — pride goeth before a fall.
Remember, in some ways, Stephen Reed was a great man. He helped bring the city back from the brink. In the '70s, it looked like Harrisburg was ready to sink into the river of red ink. He fostered development, investment and quality of life.
But he was mayor for 28 looooong years.
By the end, it seems, he couldn't discern fiscal fitness from folly.
A Wild West Museum... Did we mention that?
He left office having come full circle, with the city sinking into the Red Ink River.
It's sad. But it's a tale we've heard many times — even here in York.
The story of another Stephen — Stetler — followed a somewhat similar arc: A seminary student wanders into government, becomes a state representative, does good things for his community, then becomes a legislative leader and is found guilty of orchestrating staffers to campaign on the taxpayers' dime.
And so, elected leaders, remember this cautionary tale.
Term limits are your friend. You should limit your time in public office even if the law doesn't. Term limits can save you from yourself.
Better to have a shorter public career than be an eternal exhibit in the Museum of Political Corruption.
Now, that's a museum that really does belong in our corruption-coated state capital.

Brett Young Signs With The Gary SouthShore RailCats
in All News
By: Megan Castellucci
Palm Springs, Calif. – Brett Young, of the 2019 Southern California Collegiate Baseball League Champion Palm Springs Power, has signed a professional baseball contract this off – season. Young has signed a contract to play for the Gary SouthShore RailCats of the American Association.
Brett Young came to Palm Springs in 2019 as a senior from Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. Delta State University is a Division II school that competes in the Gulf Shore Conference.
While at Delta State, Brett played in 56 games, with 53 of those games being starts in center field. He had seven doubles, 20 RBI, and crossed home plate 35 times. During the 2019 season, Young helped lead the Statesman to a 42 – 14 overall record, gaining them a NCAA South 2 Regional bid. Power and Gary SouthShore RailCats pitcher, Seth Hougesen was a teammate to Brett during his time at Delta State.
Young found himself joining the Statesmen after his time at the University of Nebraska – Kearney, a Division II institution. As a junior, Young appeared in 42 games, batted .356, with 14 doubles, two triples, and 11 home runs. He recorded 39 RBI and scored 53 runs. He earned American Baseball Coaches Association Second – Team – All Central Region Honors as well as was noted Honorable Mention All – Region, by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America. Following the 2018 season, Young was informed his team was being eliminated from the university, due to budget reasons.
Prior to his stint in Nebraska, the Lodi, California native found himself right in his backyard, playing for San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton for two seasons. Young played in 46 games as a sophomore, hitting .306, with 32 runs scored and 13 RBI. He had eight stolen bags on the season with seven doubles. Young found time in the outfield as well as at second base.
Power Manager, Casey Dill came calling during Brett's senior year campaign at Delta State, offering him a place to play for the summer, knowing full well, the 5'10 outfielder had aspirations of continuing his career after college.
In 32 games for the Power, Brett hit .369, with 45 hits, six of those hits being doubles, two triples, and recorded 17 RBI. Young was quick around the base paths notching 28 stolen bases, a team high. His performance in the box as well as in the outfield, led him to being named the 2019 Southern California Collegiate Baseball League's Player of the Year.
There is no denying that Young was a fan favorite at Palm Springs Stadium. "Everywhere that I have been – it's nice to get to know the people around the area. When you make that connection and get to know them, you have that relationship, you build that relationship. They begin to root for you and they feel like they are with you, and that has happened here in Palm Springs," noted Young.
Skipper, Casey Dill reflects on the magical 2019 season and the impact Young had on his roster, " Brett represented everything I wanted in a Power team captain and league MVP. His work ethic and drive are unparallel. He is a true team leader and captain on the most winning team in the Power 17 year history."
During the off – season , Young spent time in Palm Springs with the aspiring youth baseball players of the Coachella Valley. He wound up on the support staff for College of the Desert's baseball team, assisting head coach Sam DiMatteo, who also is one of the Power assistant coaches. He spent many moments contemplating his next adventure in baseball.
After talks with Manager, Casey Dill, Brett made the choice to come to the California Winter League. The California Winter League is designed to help players get better and get signed. The CWL is typically where baseball players go to get signed prior to the start of spring training. Since it's inception, the CWL has seen 700 professional contracts be offered to its players.
The experience Young had while at the California Winter League is preparing him and his off – season program for what the game will look like while in the American Association. "The Winter League has done a great job getting me ready for this. The biggest opportunity has been learning from all of the guys with various amounts of experience. Everyone thinks differently, they are so much more advanced in their thinking process of things. I really am glad I got the opportunity to hangout with some of those guys and pick their brain," said Young.
Within the first week of the California Winter League, Brett received a phone call from the Gary SouthShore RailCats of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball – his dream of being a professional baseball player was happening.
"I am excited to finally fulfill the dream I have been chasing my whole life," says Young as he begins to get emotional. "It's not everyday that you get to do something like that. So I am very humbled by it. I am excited to go in and just do my thing."
Young is joining three Palm Springs Power Alumni in Gary, Indiana. Seth Hougesen, Darin May, and Hayden Schilling all found a home with the RailCats last season after their time in Palm Springs. " It's not everyday that you get four former teammates all on the same team. I am excited to have them there to show me the ropes."
Palm Springs Power Baseball wishes Brett Young nothing but success on his journey with the Gary SouthShore RailCats. Brett will report to Spring Training in Gary, Indiana sometime in April.

Inhaled epinephrine quick and effective for childhood croup
A review from the Cochrane Library validates the use of nebulized epinephrine (NE) to quickly relieve symptoms of moderate to severe croup in children.
Croup, usually caused by viral infection, is characterized by hoarseness of the voice, barky cough, and varying degrees of noisy breathing, the result of swelling of the area of the trachea just below the larynx. Nebulized epinephrine given to children with more severe swelling causes a temporary shrinkage in the swollen area of the trachea to reduce the child's difficulty in breathing and may help to prevent intubation.
Small studies previously have shown that NE relieves croup symptoms in 30 minutes. Researchers from the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, conducted a systematic review of 8 studies involving 225 children treated in a hospital or emergency department to confirm the safety and efficacy of this procedure.
Their review of trials of inhaled epinephrine found that, compared with no medication, NE significantly improved symptoms, including airway obstruction, in children with moderate and severe croup at 30 minutes after treatment. Nebulized epinephrine also was associated with a shorter hospital stay than placebo. The effect of NE was no longer evident at 2 hours, but no rebound effect was observed. No significant differences were found between racemic NE and L-epinephrine or between NE delivered by intermittent positive pressure breathing or nebulization alone.
The researchers concluded, "NE is associated with clinically and statistically significant transient reduction of symptoms of croup 30 minutes post-treatment."

What is the Difference Between a Complete or Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury?
August 25, 2021 Bentley & More LLP
Spinal cord injuries are amongst the most devastating type of injury that can occur. However, not all spinal cord injuries are exactly alike. In fact, there are various levels of spinal cord injuries a person can sustain. Here, we want to discuss the difference between a "complete" and an "incomplete" spinal cord injury. There is a difference between these types of spinal cord injuries, particularly when it comes to the levels of paralysis a person may experience as well as how the injury will affect a victim's day-to-day life.
Levels of Spinal Cord Injuries
The effects of spinal cord injuries will vary greatly depending on the location and severity of the damage to the spinal cord. Truthfully, no two spinal cord injuries are exactly alike. The outcome of a spinal cord injury for the victim will also vary depending on how quickly medical treatment is received and the effectiveness of physical therapy and rehabilitation.
A complete spinal cord injury
A complete spinal cord injury occurs when a person's spine is fully compressed or severed. This type of injury will completely eliminate the brain's ability to send signals below where the injury occurred. A person who experiences a complete spinal cord injury will have no motor function below the site of the injury.
An incomplete spinal cord injury
An incomplete spinal cord injury is any type of injury to the spine in which a person retains feeling or function below the injury site in one or more areas of their body. Even though a person will retain some feeling or function below the site of the injury, the exact effects of the injury will vary widely from person to person. In some cases, the injury may be mild enough to where there is only mild weakness and no other signs an injury has occurred. However, some incomplete spinal cord injuries are so severe that a person will have symptoms similar to a complete spinal cord injury.
The Costs of a Complete or Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
When we examine data available from the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC), we can see that there are significant costs associated with spinal cord injuries. The first year of medical care for a spinal cord injury can range anywhere from $379,000 to more than $1.1 million, depending on the level of injury. Those who retain some level of motor function will typically see fewer first-year medical costs than those who sustain complete spinal cord injuries along their C1 – C4 vertebrae.
However, when we discuss the true costs of a complete or incomplete spinal cord injury, we have to look beyond the first-year medical costs. Each additional year of medical care will range anywhere from $46,000 to more than $200,000. Additionally, those who sustain complete spinal cord injuries will have to adjust to a completely new day-to-day situation. They will typically need around-the-clock care for the remainder of their lives. Additionally, the life expectancy of a person who sustains a complete spinal cord injury is going to be much lower than those who sustain an incomplete spinal cord injury.
Taking into account the variety of symptoms associated with incomplete spinal cord injuries, it may be entirely possible for a person with an incomplete spinal cord injury to live a relatively normal life, at least compared to someone who has sustained a complete spinal cord injury. However, whether one has suffered a complete or incomplete spinal cord injury, it is always advised to speak with an Orange County spinal cord lawyer.

Snow White with the Red Hair – Episode 21: "When I'm With You…"
Nothing like a quiet night in. …Right?
The gang takes refuge from a rainstorm to spend an incognito evening together, but what looks to be another comfy episode turns into a busy blast from the past. A new character arrives with a job offer in hand, and Obi takes center stage to show that, while you may not be able to erase your footprints, you can still choose to take a different path going forward. Prepare your heart for imminent warming.
Obligatory Scenery Porn, Brand New Day Edition.
The first half of this episode asks the question: "Hey, what would it be like if the gang just, like, hung out for a while?" And the answer turned out to be "Wonderful, we should do more of this!" Chillin' Episodes can struggle with pacing, but this one works because (1) the cast is a delight, and (2) it doesn't spend too much time on any one scene, moving us between groupings to keep the conversations and interpersonal dynamics fresh. Snow White also proves itself adept at humor, playing with bathing scenes, rivalries, and misunderstandings in a way that's thoroughly silly without sliding into tired cliches.
There are a lot of nice, little touches here–Zen saying he wants to see his retainers happy (and Obi cheekily undercutting the sentimentality by saying he's now stuck picturing Zen naked whenever he remembers that), the hints that Mitsuhide and Kiki are in something of an unofficial relationship, and that cozy scene of Shirayuki, Zen, and Obi on the balcony–but it all basically circles around the importance of togetherness and community, showing how close our cast has become. The ability to relax around someone and rely on them has always been central to the ShiraZen romance, but it's also integral to other relationships as well. We'll come back to that in the second half of the episode, too.
Mitsuhide and Kiki also call out one of Snow White's core elements: Zen and Shirayuki "don't change"; rather, "things change around them." Not to say they don't have facets to their personalities or react differently depending on the situation–we've seen that they do–but that they were, when we met them, more-or-less fully realized individuals with a strong sense of empathy, a good idea of what they want for themselves, and a willingness to act on that. Their relationship has also always been based on a close, mutual friendship, so even if they shift from "friends" to "partners," that "core" will remain essentially the same.
We tend to think of "good" fiction as being about the protagonist undergoing changes, but that doesn't have to be the case. The trick, though, is to find other ways to initiate growth or movement, which I think was the main goal of this season and why we focused so much on supporting characters and their relationships with our protagonists. I mentioned a while ago that Shirayuki's great strength is her ability to see people as individuals rather than as titles or roles, but that's also very true of Zen, and we've seen that a lot in his relationships with all his "retainers" (who you could just as easily call his friends), Obi in particular.
Which brings us to the second, more action-packed half of our episode: The mercenary mission. Obi's old sometimes-partner Trow asks him to help her track down a runaway rich kid who's been stiffing his hired guards on payment, and Obi agrees, once again leaving behind nothing but a note.
It's a chance to learn more about the unattached, hardened Obi we've seen flashes of previously, and to highlight how much his relationship with Team ShiraZen have changed him. It's also a chance for Obi to get a taste of his old life and see if it's something he still wants. The answer is unsurprising, but Obi likely needed that "one last mission" to be sure of his own choices.
There's an undercurrent here about the trade-off between freedom and responsibility that plays out with the rich runaway (Kido Deena) and Obi. Kido fled his father's "rules" but is living an empty life on the run, too self-centered to even pay the people he relies on for protection. On the other side, Obi tells Trow that he "can't do anything of his own will" anymore, but what he really means is that there are people he doesn't want to disappoint. Obi has lost some of his freedom, yes, but Snow White argues that the emotional connections he's gained are ultimately more fulfilling.
And speaking of those connections, Team ShiraZen come after him, and both Shirayuki and Zen are thoroughly miffed. They'd just told him they could relax around him, so this feels like an insult–we trust you to help us, but you won't trust us to help you? They remind him that they worry about him and that they're here to help him, too. I think Obi needed to hear that, too, before he could truly plant his roots in Clarines (a fitting metaphor, given his reluctance to accept Ryu's seeds in the Part Two premiere).
"LET US LOVE YOU."
I didn't drool over the visuals this week as much as I did last, but they did do some nifty things with lighting to demonstrate the two sides of Obi's life/personality and the commitment he makes this week. The scenes at the inn with Team Zen occur under a soft, safe golden glow, while the scenes with Trow are under murky shadows and moonlight. The light/dark duality really calls attention to itself when Obi steps onto the inn's patio to find Trow just outside of the light–and promptly takes up his own spot halfway between the two.
Interestingly, both Zen and Shirayuki do the same when speaking to Obi, but slip more fully into the light when it's just the two of them. I'm reaching a bit here, I know, but I can't help but see this as a reminder that they've both been through their own share of darkness, as well as a way to highlight their ability to reach out to others despite their difference in positions or circumstances.
It culminates in a less-than-subtle but rather lovely shot of Obi in the gloom of the abandoned mansion with Trow, looking out the doors at his friends bathed in morning light before he gets up and joins them, riding into the dawn and leaving his past life behind for good. I've joked that Obi doesn't know how doorknobs work since he's always coming and going through windows, but it's also good characterization, so to have him both enter the inn and leave the mansion through the doorway with his companions is quietly poignant, suggesting that he no longer feels like an outsider or intruder with them.
I said last week that this season was really about Raj, but it's also been about Obi, so it's great to see them hitting a milestone for his character development as well. I know the manga is still ongoing (and I love these characters enough that I'd happily watch them hang out for many more episodes), but Snow White has a very real chance in the next three episodes to tie up the last major conflict/story thread with Izana and bring this anime to a full, satisfying conclusion. In Ando I trust.
Have I mentioned how much I love the way Snow White incorporates so many different kinds of women into its cast? Oh, I have? Like, constantly? Well okay then.
Shirayuki's reaction to bath time Kiki was pure gold. I love that this show lets its characters have these really nuanced relationships with each other–maybe Obi has feelings for Shirayuki, or Zen, or both; maybe Mitsuhide and Kiki are in an open relationship; maybe Shirayuki is attracted to Kiki–without worrying about needing to slap an explicit label on them.
I, er, may have scribbled "OT3! OT3!" at the bottom of my notes during that Shira/Zen/Obi scene. Possibly. Maybe. ¬_¬
ShiraZen generally act like cool-headed adults, but the way they fluctuate between being openly affectionate and super-shy with each other is a cute little reminder that they're still pretty young and trying to navigate the waters of their first real romance.

Richard van der Haak says:
Nice, quiet episode.
I'm wondering what that comment from Shirayuki means when she says that Trow didn't want her either and then Zen says that she shouldn't worry about that.
Artemis says:
I admit it, seeing Zen and Obi bare-chested in the bath was pretty nice. But man, Zen looked positively weedy and even a little child-like compared to Obi's far more muscular (but still very wiry) physique. Which makes total sense of course given their respective roles, but it was good to see the anime actually paying due attention to that.
eilselle (@spaazaz) says:
I feel like this anime is spoiling me with all the extremely nice relationships and good, fluffy times.
And I'm pretty sure that this is also the point in the story where I first started shipping Obi, Zen, and Shirayuki as an OT3. I have never stopped shipping. It's so good!
Kiki and MItsuhide are two people that I honestly want to spend more time alone without talking about Zen or Shirayuki or their relationship thereof. While yes, since Zen is their liege(and squadmate!), both their lives should revolve around Zen's, and to that extent, Shirayuki's. This is still integral to the greatness of the story, and I still love seeing all of them together. But with what little screentime they have alone is when their personalities shine through.
I believe that the manga(or at least, the scanlations) actually goes as far as stating Trow is bisexual (Trow: "Male or female, it doesn't matter!" Zen: "So she swings both ways, huh"), so that might make Shirayuki's eagerness(excitement?) on not getting hit on a little bit more understandable. Shirayuki's also implied to be a lot less straight here than she is in the manga, and I really like that. Sorry I keep segway-ing into manga territorry!
Silly me! I realized I haven't been talking about Obi! It's just amazing at how far his character has come from 'that one dude that looks like he inserted himself into the story' to pretty much being one third of our amazing main trio. There are a lot of words to describe how I feel whenever Obi describes how attached he is the the gang at this point. But I believe you've written enough good words, because I'm too busy not maintaining solid form to articulate much more.
I am fully on board with the poly route! Zen has shown he isnt unwilling to love men in the past, and when Kiki mentions Obi as a possible match for Mitsuhide, his rwaction shows no sign that the boy aspect mattered. It was pure 'I hadnt even considered that…'
I could seevZen and Shirayuki maryying with Obi asva shared concubine, assuming pluralmarriage is a no go. But this ep cemented my feelings tgat Z/S/O are my OTR in this one. Resolves the tension and triangle nicely, too! Please world, give me this for my upcoming 40th birtday!!!
Yana Anastasova says:
When exactly has Zen been "not unwilling to love men in the past"? When Atri teased him about the two of them getting together, I remember Zen replying with something along the lines of "Sorry, but I don't plan on marrying a guy :P". Not to say that he can't have changed since then, of course. But what made you think he's fallen for guys before? Or are you simply referring to the fact that Zen is a generally very open-minded person? Maybe there's something I'm missing…?

The positions are in for AFL Fantasy in 2018. Here's a snapshot of the names that are the most relevant according to the questions I've been asked on social media and who I think people would want to know about including all draftees. Feel free to ask for more in the comments.
Click here for the AFL.com.au article.
Pick-by-pick in the 2017 draft.
So many on the watchlist already. Cant wait for next year!
Rookies should be plenty to, especially from West Coast.
When DT live is open to select the team? If you know it.
We'll have some stuff on pricing next week. Deck of DT will start January 1. As for DT Live, I think Chad is working on it now!
Any word yet on AFL Fantasy having a keepers league starting from next season yet Warnie in draft?
No official word as yet.
Iam not addicted at all.
FWD line is pretty weak, but value.
Yea my bad, Francis would be on the bench.
I think Mills will be good this year, over the second year blues. Take McVeighs old role.
Yea cool, should still work out the same with the prices.
Nic Newman – how is he a mid only ? Can you post his 2017 heat map please Warnie ?
Looks like Warnie has given up on answering these requests.
Supercoach as well …. nothing from AFL Fantasy yet … not surprised though they wouldn't want us to enjoy ourselves.
As a paying Fantasy Coach member I will be sadly disappointed if some sort of Team Picker is not open before Xmas for those who paid for the subscription model.
I Would not pay $19.95 again if I had to wait until it opens for everyone!
FYI – There is no team picker for AFL Fantasy. There hasn't been for 5 years and no part of the subscription says we get one!
Won't fall for that again.
I used the Fantasy Coach subscription for much more than that, but if that's all you used it for, then maybe you're better to save your dollars.
99th going into the last sunday? So you didnt get 99th did you? But you name dropped 99th going off live ranking..
My team was trash you say James? Yet I outscored you by 64 points in round 23 well played sir! Maybe you should sign up to my Fantasy preseason camp it's only $19.95!
1. With Gibbs gone will we see Cripps improve more than 10ppg?
2. Will Hodge help or Hinder Witherden awesome Fantasy Game?
Shut up about Witherden, yeah? As a Lions supporter I think he could be fantastic in 2018, with a full Pre-Season and Luke Hodge as a mentor. It would take cahones the size of space hoppers to start with him, but he could be a great POD.

Singer and songwriter
Being from West Texas, Jean Prescott grew up horseback, living and loving the western lifestyle. This way of life and her love of music came together over the years and led to the best of both worlds for her. Jean says she's a singer, songwriter and once and only once, a wild bronc rider.
A multiple-award-winning singer/songwriter, Jean's career spans over more than twenty-five years. She is affectionately referred to as "The First Lady of Western Music." The heart of her music is the stories in her songs about those who came before us when the west was wild and untamed as well as life in the west as it is today, sometimes still wild and untamed.
With her songs described as "The Spiritual Essence of the West," Jean Prescott belongs to the land and its people and she upholds the heritage and values of the western lifestyle.
Jean met her husband Gary in 1994 at the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering. She and Gary are honored to be part of the inaugural Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering, carrying on this time-honored tradition with music and song.

Children kenya sharing the gospel of jesus unreached people groups
"Don't you know pastors are poor?" Timothy's girlfriend exclaimed. She could hardly believe what he had just told her.
"I am quitting my job so I can be a full-time missionary in northern Kenya," Timothy gently broke the news. His mind was made up. Mission work was very important to him, even more than getting married. His girlfriend's reaction confirmed that she was not God's choice of a wife for him. It broke his heart, but he knew he had to end their relationship. And he did.
Businessman or missionary?
Timothy gave his life to Christ in 1992 during his second year in high school. He studied at the University of Nairobi, where he earned a degree in business administration and marketing. He wanted to become a successful businessman. While studying at the university he also did a Bible correspondence course and enrolled in a Bible school that offered part-time courses. He was very interested in the gospel and wanted to know more about the Bible and about Jesus.
Even before he graduated from college Timothy landed a job in marketing in Nairobi. He liked his job — it paid well and he had a company car. Sometime in late 1998, though, he heard a voice that caused him several sleepless nights, saying, "Timothy, why don't you do my work? Why don't you serve me?" He shared this with his dad, John Kirema, founder and leader of Cornerstone Evangelistic Ministry, based in Meru. His dad did not try to influence him. He simply told Timothy, "If God is speaking to you, you need to obey." Timothy then gave notice of his resignation to his employer.
Timothy went back to Meru and started his own independent work among the young people in the area. His focus was to bring the youth to Christ. He had a burden for young men who dropped out of school and got involved in drugs. They would pick chewable young twigs of Khat trees grown in the area that act as stimulants and sell them. This very mild drug, also called Miraa, is classified by the World Health Organization as a drug of abuse that can lead to psychological dependence. It is legal in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia but is illegal in other countries.
In the meantime Timothy's dad, who had diabetes, started losing his sight but continued to do the work nonetheless. Moved with compassion, Timothy offered to help him in the ministry. He started going with the missionaries of Cornerstone to the field to preach, carry the equipment, serve at open-air meetings, and distribute tracts to students on the streets. Shortly after his father passed away in March 1999, he took over the leadership of Cornerstone Evangelistic Ministry.
Timothy and Yvonne meet
In spite of repeated encouragement from family and friends for him to find someone and settle down, Timothy was in no hurry. He patiently waited on the Lord.
Four years later, upon the invitation of some friends, he attended a social gathering. These same friends had also invited a woman named Yvonne to the event. They had a deaf child and Yvonne loved that child very much. When these friends introduced Timothy to Yvonne and he heard of her love for deaf children, he was drawn to her. "I am a minister of the gospel," he told her, "and I am looking to marry sometime." They became friends and the friendship blossomed into a serious relationship.
Yvonne, together with her two brothers, was raised in a Christian home. Her father was a teacher and her mother stayed home to care for the kids. Her paternal grandfather was among the first converts of Western missionaries in Kenya. He donated a piece of his farm on which the first Methodist church was built. Her dad, now retired, still serves in the Methodist Church of Kenya as a lay preacher.
She was in college doing a course in office administration when she experienced a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. She declares, "He has been faithful and has truly blessed me in numerous ways!"
An unusual first date
Timothy's idea of a date with Yvonne was quite unconventional. He invited her to come with him on an outing in the mission field. He was not sure if she would accept his invitation. Initially, Yvonne's parents were not so sure either that she should go on the trip. But she asked them to pray about it — it would be her first trip ever to the mission field! Finally they agreed to let her go.
Timothy and Yvonne visited Laisamis town in Marsabit County and the villages of Lerata and Lengusaka in Samburu County. Marsabit is about 192 miles north of Meru and takes about four hours to get to by car. She had never been past Isiolo, 32 miles north of Meru, so it was quite a road trip for her.
"I was in for a culture shock," Yvonne recalls. Having grown up in a town, she had no idea what life was like in the bush. They stopped in Ngaremara in Isiolo County to say hi to Pastor Paul Lokwa, a long-time Cornerstone missionary. That's when she realized how their culture was quite different from hers, not only in the way they dressed but also in their lifestyle and the hardships they had to go through.
"What struck me about Timothy was how passionate he was in reaching for Christ the unreached communities, and the sacrifices he had to make in doing so," she said. "He has a heart so full of love for them. Around that time, the road was not fully paved and there were so many cases of security risks, but these didn't hinder him from doing what he loves to do."
"We visited the Rendille tribe, and I loved how they were passionate about worshipping; some under the trees, walking miles and miles to get to the 'church,' and that really moved me. It was really touching and special to see the kind of people he was reaching out to help — the unreached."
Seeing Yvonne's loving attitude toward these tribal people, Timothy knew in his heart that she was the woman God had for him.
As their relationship and courtship continued, Yvonne was sure that Timothy was the partner she had prayed for — a Christian man not just in name but also in deed, loving, and kind.
"I loved how he had a heart for helping others," she said.
So when Timothy proposed to her, she readily agreed. Timothy formally introduced Yvonne to his mom, and Yvonne in turn introduced him to her parents.
"They loved him," she recounted. Several months later Timothy's family, including his uncles and aunts, came to visit her family. They paid the dowry according to her Meru culture, and some months later her family went to visit his family. Then Timothy's mom and Yvonne's parents gave their blessing for the young couple to set a wedding date.
A cow, a sheep, groceries, and produce
Dowry differs from community to community. The customary dowry in the Meru community consists of five cows (one of which must be a heifer), a drum of honey, a sheep, and a goat. In addition, the groom's family also gives farm produce and grocery items, such as sugar, cooking oil, and salt. These items are given in bulk so the girl's mother can share them with her friends and neighbors.
In the case of Timothy and Yvonne, Timothy's family brought the cash equivalent of a heifer, about $700, a live sheep, and all the grocery items and farm produce. Since Yvonne was marrying into a Christian family, her father saw no need to ask for more as he believed that one could never measure the value of one's daughter with material things. Another thing worth noting is that in their culture the dowry is never a one-time deal! Paying all at once whatever the girl's family asks for as a dowry sends the message that the groom and his family want nothing more to do with the girl's family in the future. It means that one has no desire or interest in having an ongoing relationship with the family of the girl. In order to avoid this, the groom's family or the groom himself should keep visiting the girl's family with something small for her parents so that the ties are not broken.
Marriage of Kenyan missionaries and ministry leaders Timothy and Yvonne Kinyua.
During Timothy and Yvonne's recent visit to the U.S., Bo Barredo, ANM Co-Founder and Global Ambassador, interviewed Yvonne and Timothy at an ANM event. He unexpectedly asked Yvonne, "What do you think Timothy would choose if and when God through His people should provide $20,000 for the ministry? Would he choose to use the money towards the roof of a large unfinished church of one of the ministry's pastors, or would he opt to use it towards a much-needed and better truck he himself could use in traveling to the different churches and outreaches?"
Without any hesitation, Yvonne said, "The roof." When asked to explain her response, she softly continued, "Because I know his heart."
The beginning of a new life together
Yvonne and Timothy exchanged marriage vows in a beautiful wedding ceremony on September 4, 2010, a Saturday. After the wedding they skipped their honeymoon. Instead, the very next day, Sunday, the newlyweds visited a Maasai tribal church in Laikipia and joined them in their worship service, to the excitement and delight of the people. They honored Yvonne by giving her a Maasai name, Nasieku. It means "someone who has come quickly." She certainly had come quickly to be one of them!
Yvonne works as part of the administrative staff of Kaaga School for the Deaf in Meru. She loves this job, which she has held for over 10 years now, because children as young as four years old have the opportunity to develop language at a tender age.
When school is out and on weekends, Yvonne goes with Timothy to the mission field, and together they lovingly bring the light of the gospel to the unreached and partially-reached tribes, among them the Turkana, Samburu, Maasai, Rendille, Borona, Gabra, and Burji tribes, located mostly in the parched, sandy, and rocky places in northern Kenya. Through their ministry many of these unreached communities have heard and received the Good News of the saving love of Jesus Christ.

Private Security Guards For Politicians
Home » Armed Security » Private Security Guards For Politicians
Why Do Politicians Need Security Guards?
Politics have always been a touchy subject, but the political climate in the U.S. has perhaps never been more volatile than it is now.
With bipartisan tensions running high, the security industry is booming in the political sphere. Frequent organized protests flood the streets in Washington, D.C., and mixed crowds become volatile with support and opposition at political rallies. It's a dangerous time to be a politician – even in your own home.
It's critical in these times for our leaders to have professional, highly-trained security services. Not just for protection at events, but also for family protection at home.
Many politicians are actually served by federally organized security agencies. Read on to find out who's protected by whom, and why hiring private security is still a good idea.
Which Politicians are Protected by the Secret Service?
The Secret Service has been tasked with protecting the President since 1901. Their scope of personal protective services now includes a list of high-profile elected leaders, as well as visiting dignitaries.
Persons eligible for protection by Secret Service agents are those of federal interest and significance, including:
The President and Vice President of the United States
The families of the President and Vice President
Individuals in succession to Presidential and Vice Presidential offices
Major Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security
Former Presidents and First Ladies
Visiting foreign Heads of state
U.S. Representatives abroad
Any individual specified for Secret Service protection by Presidential Executive Order
The Secret Service also serve as private investigators of financial crimes, including counterfeiting, forgery, theft and other financial crimes under federal jurisdiction. The general public perceives the Secret Service as elite protection agents. What many may not know is that the organization was created to identify and prevent this type of financial misconduct.
To learn more about the Secret Service, visit the official Department of Homeland Security website.
Which Politicians are Protected by the Capitol Police?
The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) was established to protect members and officers of Congress, as well as their families and visitors. As such, this federal police force is one of the few responsible to the legislative branch, separating them from standard police departments as part of the executive branch of government.
Not all members of Congress have personal security details, though. USCP assigns personal details only to select constitutional officeholders:
The Speaker of the House
Majority and Minority House Leaders
Majority and Minority Senate Leaders
House and Senate Majority and Minority Whips
Capitol police also work to protect and secure events occurring on Capitol grounds, as well as delivering personal protection details to additional personnel when deemed necessary.
To learn more about the USCP, including how to become a USCP Officer, you can visit their website at uscp.gov.
Which Politicians are Protected by State Police?
State Police go by several names, depending on the state. Other names for State Police include Highway Patrol and the Department of Public Safety. In general, State Police operate in the expected functions of a law enforcement agency, with the additional duty to protect the state's Governor and family.
While the responsibilities of State Police differ some by state, the majority of them carry the same responsibilities:
Responding to traffic accidents
Responding to crime
Investigative responsibilities
Providing security detail to the Governor and other dignitaries
Which Politicians Need Security Guards, and Why?
Who Needs Private Security
The short answer: any politician who feels they may be at high risk.
All politicians can choose to hire security officers from a private security firm. This can often be a wise choice, even for those who already have protection from a federal agency, delivering additional peace of mind and an added layer of safety.
While high-profile politicians at the federal level are often protected by the Secret Service, some choose to hire private security companies to supplement Secret Security services. In fact, President Trump has faced scrutiny in recent years for his choice to hire additional personal protection from private security firms.
"More than 40 countries – including the United States, China, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom – have more guards privately hired to protect certain people, places and things than police officers whose duty it is to protect the public."
Private security outnumbers the police for a reason: Citizens – including politicians – need more protection than government agencies are able to provide.
The choice to hire executive protective officers often comes down to personal preference.
Why Hire Private Security Details or Additional Private Security Services
Politicians face a number of daily dangers, from the mundane risks of accidental physical harm and paparazzi to the more dramatic risks such as bomb threats and kidnapping.
The risks involved with being in the public eye are increased with increased public exposure. For politicians, this means election season is fraught with tension and risk.
Protective agents from private security firms are able to fill a number of security functions for those in state and federal offices. These include:
Security risk assessment for events
Crowd control for public events
Personal protection at home and during travel
Security for diplomatic functions and speaking engagements
The extra protection a private security service can provide is well worth the investment. And with the services of off-duty or retired law enforcement personnel, you can trust that you are getting the most professional level of security training available for the value.
Hire Security Services You Can Trust with SMART Security Pros
SMART Security Pros has been providing industry-leading security services in the Washington, D.C. area and beyond for years. Hiring only off-duty and prior police experienced agents, you can trust that a private security detail from SMART Security Pros understands the ins and outs of political security.
Don't slack on security. Protect your family and your life with the best local private security firm. Our services include executive and dignitary protection and armed security guards for political conventions, as well as corporate security training and armed and unarmed security guards for special events and more.

If you are looking for an answer to the question What is Artificial Intelligence? and you only have a minute, then here's the definition the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence offers on its home page: "the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines."
However, if you are fortunate enough to have more than a minute, then please get ready to embark upon an exciting journey exploring AI (but beware, it could last a lifetime) …
Is AI the start of the truly creative human?
#artificialintelligence Jul-11-2019, 12:40:15 GMT
Since the dawn of the first industrial revolution, machines have largely been used to improve efficiency. We've now entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution – an era in which machines will become smart, self-optimizing themselves and the systems in which they operate. It's a shift that's shaping many of the megatrends we've identified that are in turn changing how the world works. Some have seen this as the rise of the robots – a dystopian future of mass unemployment and dehumanization as intelligent machines do away with the need for people. But history suggests that while new technologies may end the need for human involvement in some tasks, it will usually also enable the creation of entirely new jobs – even entirely new industries.

How Wearable AI Will Increase Human Intelligence MarkTechPost
#artificialintelligence Jun-24-2019, 05:04:43 GMT
The world of artificial intelligence is changing, adapting, and developing new technologies every day. Technology advancements that were once thought to be the stuff of science fiction are now commonplace; this sort of rapid technology development will only continue to grow as teams of scientists, technicians, and others working in the artificial intelligence fieldwork on new and exciting projects. The wearable AI market is predicted to rise from USD 35 billion in 2018 to around USD 180 billion by 2025, according to a 2019 Global Market Insights, Inc. report. One of the more exciting and daunting possibilities in the relatively near future is the idea that wearable artificial intelligence may someday change our lives–and our intelligence–forever. Let's take a closer look at the possibilities behind wearable AI and how it will change the world as we know it.

Survey: Here's Why AI May Be the Fastest Paradigm Shift in Tech History
RADIUS guest contributor Gary Grossman currently leads the Edelman AI Center of Excellence. As part of that, he led development of the 2019 Edelman Artificial Intelligence Survey that can be viewed here. Just how important is artificial intelligence (AI)? Microsoft's Chief Envisioning Officer, Dave Coplin, said recently that AI is "the most important technology that anybody on the planet is working on today." A PwC report estimates that global GDP will be 14 percent higher in 2030 as a result of AI--the equivalent of $15.7 trillion, which is more than the current output of China and India combined.

The Rise of AI Art--and What It Means for Human Creativity
Artificially intelligent systems are slowly taking over tasks previously done by humans, and many processes involving repetitive, simple movements have already been fully automated. In the meantime, humans continue to be superior when it comes to abstract and creative tasks. However, it seems like even when it comes to creativity, we're now being challenged by our own creations. In the last few years, we've seen the emergence of hundreds of "AI artists." These complex algorithms are creating unique (and sometimes eerie) works of art.

AI Plus Human Intelligence Is The Future Of Work
We are living in interesting times, where digital assistants schedule meetings, chatbots work alongside humans as teaching assistants, and your suitcase can now become self driving luggage as showcased at CES, 2018. The implications are just starting to be felt in the workplace. In 2017, I wrote about how The Employee Experience is the Future of Work. Now, as we enter 2018, the next journey for HR leaders will be to leverage artificial intelligence combined with human intelligence and create a more personalized employee experience. As we increase our personal usage of chatbots (defined as software which provides an automated, yet personalized, conversation between itself and human users), employees will soon interact with them in the workplace as well.

How AI is radically changing our definition of human creativity
#artificialintelligence May-28-2019, 09:13:27 GMT
Artificial intelligence is spreading through our lives. As it moves from new feeds to productivity tools, the boundary between what is human-made and machine-made is becoming almost invisible, resulting in vast shifts in how we perceive and interact with the world. AI has surprised us with how it can move, see and hear, but also, with what it can create. Once thought of as a solely human trait, creativity is now a debated topic. Or is a thought process constrained by what us humans define it as?

Implementing a modern data-driven digital strategy
Data is known to have been used to drive business performance since Taylor and Ford started measuring and optimising the output of assembly lines in the late 1800s. The importance of the analysis of data to support decision-making, referred to interchangeably as business or data analytics, has grown and continues to grow proportionally to our ability to store and process data. The volume, velocity and variety of data being processed in organisations has increased substantially. By one estimate, 90 per cent of the data that exists today has been produced over the last two years. This paradigm shift requires a fresh outlook.

North Korea calls Biden 'fool of low IQ' over Kim criticism
FOX News May-22-2019, 04:34:45 GMT
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea has labeled Joe Biden a "fool of low IQ" and an "imbecile bereft of elementary quality as a human being" after the Democratic presidential hopeful during a recent speech called North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a tyrant. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency on Wednesday accused Biden of insulting the country's supreme leadership and committing an "intolerable and serious politically-motivated provocation" against the North. Biden during a campaign launch in Philadelphia on Saturday accused President Donald Trump of cozying up to "dictators and tyrants" like Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Abstract: This paper demonstrates emergence of computational creativity in the field of music. Different aspects of creativity such as producer, process, product and press are studied and formulated. Different notions of computational creativity such as novelty, quality and typicality of compositions as products are studied and evaluated. We formulate an algorithmic perception on human creativity and propose a prototype that is capable of demonstrating human-level creativity. We then validate the proposed prototype by applying various creativity benchmarks with the results obtained and compare the proposed prototype with the other existing computational creative systems. I. INTRODUCTION Computational creativity is the modeling or replicating human creativity computationally. Traditionally computational creativity has focused more on creative systems' products or processes, though this focus has widened recently. Research on creativity offers four Ps of creativity (Rhodes, 1961; MacKinnon, 1970; Jordanous, 2016). These four P's are: 1. Person/Producer: a creative agent 2. Process: an activity done by the creative agent 3. Product: the product of the creative process 4. Press/Environment: the overall environment of creativity 110 The proposed methodology addresses all the four P's of creativity unlike most of recent works, which focus on these individually (Saunders, 2012; Gervas & Leon, 2014; Misztal & Indurkhya, 2014; Sosa & Gero, 2015; Besold & Plaza, 2015; Harmon, 2015). Figure 1 gives a simplified view of proposed computational creative system in the context of four P's of creativity.

An Oxford mathematician explains how AI could enhance human creativity
#artificialintelligence Apr-13-2019, 22:16:01 GMT
The game of Go played between a DeepMind computer program and a human champion created an existential crisis of sorts for Marcus du Sautoy, a mathematician and professor at Oxford University. "I've always compared doing mathematics to playing the game of Go," he says, and Go is not supposed to be a game that a computer can easily play because it requires intuition and creativity. So when du Sautoy saw DeepMind's AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol, he thought that there had been a sea change in artificial intelligence that would impact other creative realms. He set out to investigate the role that AI can play in helping us understand creativity, and ended up writing The Creativity Code: Art and Innovation in the Age of AI (Harvard University Press). The Verge spoke to du Sautoy about different types of creativity, AI helping humans become more creative (instead of replacing them), and the creative fields where artificial intelligence struggles most.

Karl Barth responds to the question of universalism directly, though briefly, in his short book The Humanity of God. His response to the question of universalism is brilliant, and perhaps one of the best pictures of how he understood universalism. It's an often debated subject: whether or not Barth was a universalist. 1 I personally would argue that he is not, but here, in Barth's own words, is a beautiful response to the question.
"Does this mean universalism? I wish here to make only three short observations, in which one is to detect no position for or against that which passes among us under this term.
"1. One should not surrender himself in any case to the panic which this word seems to spread abroad, before informing himself exactly concerning its possible sense or non-sense.
"2. One should at least be stimulated by the passage, Colossians 1:19, which admittedly states that God has determined through His Son as His image and as the first-born of the whole Creation to 'reconcile all things to himself,' to consider whether the concept could not perhaps have a good meaning. The same could be said of parallel passages.
We might break down these three points like this. First, Barth argues that we should avoid the gut-reaction common to the term universalism (especially among evangelicals). I take this to mean that Barth wants us not to immediately dismiss the idea as heretical just because that's what we've been told about it. Second, if we take the scriptures seriously we cannot help but at least find ourselves stimulated by the idea of universalism, as there are certainly universalist tendencies in the scriptures. And finally, universalism, at the end of the day, is far more preferable over doom-and-gloom pessimism! That is perhaps the more serious error. But if we're going to error, isn't it better to error on the side of God's loving-kindness? to "understand [God's love] as being still greater than we had seen before", rather than to error on the side of pessimism in which universalism is dogmatically impossible? The possibility of universalism may not be a perfect one, but it is a far better alternative to dogmatic pessimism!
All these three points could, in other words, be summarized by Barth's most famous statement on universalism, "I don't teach it [universalism], but I don't not teach it." Barth said it himself: he takes no position either for or against universalism.
It is this emphasis that I find so compelling, especially since this subject is all too often dealt hastily with cheap and quick yes or no answers. I admire that Barth leaves the question open and unanswered. It's a sign of respect for God, I believe. Ultimately, I think this is the best way to understand Barth's position towards universalism: it is an open, unanswerable question. He cleverly is giving us a non-answer here. I don't think he was afraid of the question, I think Barth genuinely considered it unanswerable, as any attempt to dogmatically answer it is, ultimately, I think, an attempt to play God. Who will know in the end what will take place? Only God can, and will, answer the question of universalism. But we can and should have hope for it, or at least not be so quick to dismiss it as many do today!
It is an open question, one which we can hope for, but never dogmatically assert. The error of dogmatic assertion is on both sides here, as Barth rightly warns us. To dogmatically claim that salvation/redemption is not universal is just as problematic as to dogmatically claiming that it is universal. We can hope for it, but we cannot try and "play God" and thus divine what the outcome will be. Although, as Moltmann pointed out, our hope is a "certain" hope, founded on the cross of Christ. So it is not merely a "wishing for the best," but a definite hope in what God has done in Jesus Christ and will do for all humanity.
What do you think of Barth's answer? Is this a brilliant way to answer the question, or just a nonsense answer? In your reading of Barth, would you say he's a universalist? Leave me a reply in the comments!
A few days ago I wrote my review of Nicholas Ansell's fantastic book on the universalism of Jürgen Moltmann, aptly entitled The Annihilation of Hell (LINK). I also wrote some reflections on how, as I learned from Ansell, Moltmann argued for a "certain" hope, over against a "wishing for the best" or even a dogmatic kind of universalism. I found this book compelling, and it goes to show just how compelling it was for me when even after finishing it I am left thinking again and again about what I learned.
I was looking through my notes on the book, and one quote stood out to me that I wanted to share here. In this, Ansell is answering how Moltmann's kind of universalism might answer the problem of human freedom. It's often said that universalism negates the human response, falling prey to a kind of determinism that turns free humanity into a robotic partner to God's grace. But here Ansell points to Moltmann's alignment with Barth's theology of grace and response, specifically of human freedom in the response to grace, as a way forward past this difficulty. In simple terms, Barth argued that we are free because God makes us free; we are free in God's freedom. And here Ansell expounds this quite beautifully as it relates to Moltmann's kind of universalism. Enjoy!
"Perhaps this dilemma is not insoluble [the universalist dilemma of human freedom/response]. A case for a 'covenantal' universalism can be made, I suggest, if we root the claim that 'all respond to God's grace in God's grace' in the conviction that we are created for Life and for God 'from the beginning'. Responding to God's creational grace is the warp and woof of our authentic nature. Redemption is the reaffirmation, liberation, and restoration of our true nature, rather than being a creatio ex nihilo. Our true nature is a gift/promise that responds to the gift/promise. In the context of grace, our true nature, we might say, 'comes into its own'. This is not autonomy or heteronomy. Our response to the gift/call of Life is our response, our life. This is freedom truly defined. Freedom is not 'doing what we want'. Freedom is not doing 'what God wants' instead of 'what we want'. Freedom is faithfully keeping covenant with the God of Life in the way we choose. A universal salvation that is non-coercive must, in my view, affirm the fact that we are made for God, made for Life, to respond to Life, to initiate Life, to live (and without God there is no life) by being who we are (who we are called to be). In this sense, salvation (including universal salvation) reveals our very nature.
There's a degree to which I think Ansell has taken liberties in thinking beyond Barth, but there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. Although I will say that the one problem I had with the book is how Ansell often referred to Barth as a universalist. I disagree with that claim. Moltmann may be a kind of universalist, but Barth rejected this idea as something we ultimately cannot know. Though it's a heavily debated subject among the so-called "Barthian" community, so we won't hold it against him either.
But regardless, this is an insightful look into the nature of grace and response which Ansell seems to think Moltmann is indebted to Barth for. Do you agree with his assessment of Barth? Do you think this is a helpful understanding of human freedom and God's grace? Leave me a comment and let me know!
I'm currently reading Nicholas Ansell's book on the universalism of Jürgen Moltmann, entitled The Annihilation of Hell: Universal Salvation and the Redemption of Time in the Eschatology of Jürgen Moltmann. (LINK) So far I am enjoying it tremendously, and I have no doubt that I will eventually have more to say about it later, along with a full review of the book once I've finished.
But from the first chapter there was an interesting idea Ansell brings up that I wanted to share here. I have said before that I am not a universalist, though I could rightly be called a "hopeful" one. With Balthasar I believe it is not only permissible but essential that we hope for all humanity, that in the end all will be redeemed. We cannot dogmatically assert this, but we can and should hope for it.
Here we see a distinction between hope as merely "hoping for the best," and hope as certainty grounded upon God's actions and will in Jesus Christ on the cross. While this does not affirm dogmatic universalism, it does refine what we mean by "hopeful" universalism. It is not the hope of what we want, over and against what God wants; it is a hope based on the certainty that this is what God wants for the human race, as revealed in Christ and His cross. God wills redemption, not destruction, salvation, not damnation, restoration, not abandonment.
This certain hope is not the hope of wishful thinking, but hope in the certainty of God Himself, of God's consistency with Himself, and certainty in His work in Jesus Christ. We hope with certainty because, as Peter writes, God wills that none shall perish. (2 Peter 3:9) And furthermore, God has acted with this purpose in mind. Our hope is certain because it is a hope not against God's will and work in Jesus Christ, but with it! Thus it is a certain hope.
I am looking forward to reading more from Ansell and this book. I highly recommend this book if Moltmann's eschatology interests you, especially as it pertains to universal salvation. You can buy the book here.
Holy Saturday, especially in protestant churches, is a deeply under appreciated part of the Easter story. In recent years, though, as I've meditated more on what it means, I've become convinced that Holy Saturday is just as essential to the gospel as Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Let me explain why.
Yes, I believe there is a hell. In the horrors of Auschwitz and in the terrors of Vietnam, people experienced a hell of suffering and a hell of guilt. That is why we talk about the hell of Auschwitz and the hell of Vietnam, meaning a senseless suffering with no way out, an unforgivable guilt and a fathomless abandonment by God and human beings. Is there a hell after death too? I believe there is, for the hell before death is worse than death itself. For many people death was a release from the suffering and fear of that hell.
Do we know anyone who is in hell? Would we tell a mother weeping at her son's grave that her son is in hell because he never found faith while he was alive? We should respond to the first question with an embarrassed silence. And we would not answer 'yes' to the second one either. But I know someone who was in hell: it is Jesus Christ, who the creed says 'descended into hell'.
Hell is overcome by Christ. Whatever else we have to say about hell, it's duration or existence or who goes there—we can say for certain this: hell is overcome. And we only know with certainty of one who has been there: Jesus Christ. This means that even in hell, there is hope. Because even in hell there is Jesus Christ the reconciler of the world, the redeemer of mankind, the friend of sinners.
If we take seriously the scope of Christ's redemption, and the solidarity He has taken up with mankind, it's impossible, in my mind, not to have at least some hope for the redemption of all creation. We cannot claim factually that all will be saved. But we can, and must, have hope for it. And we have hope for it because in Christ we see only this hope, the hope that all will be saved.
"I am and I am not a universalist.
"I am one if you are talking about what God in Christ has done to save the world. The Lamb of God has not taken away the sins of some — of only the good, or the cooperative, or the select few who can manage to get their act together and die as perfect peaches. He has taken away the sins of the world — of every last being in it — and he has dropped them down the black hole of Jesus' death. On the cross, he has shut up forever on the subject of guilt: 'There is therefore now no condemnation. . . .' All human beings, at all times and places, are home free whether they know it or not, feel it or not, believe it or not.

Q: How do I check if a specific exception type has been thrown in Pester 5.4.0? I want to write a test in PowerShell with Pester 5.4.0 to check whether a specific exception type has been thrown inside a script block. It should be fairly easy, but I am somehow not doing it right. Following along the Pester v5 documentation for the Should keyword and this pre-release Pester blogpost about using Should - Throw I wrote the following (very basic) script containing one test:
Import-Module Pester -RequiredVersion 5.4.0

Describe "Testing if a service is registed." {
    It "This service should not be registered in the windows services app." {
        { Get-Service -Name "this service does not exist" } | Should -Throw -ExceptionType ([Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ServiceCommandException])
    }
}

I would expect the test to catch the ServiceCommandException that is thrown when the Get-Service Cmdlet looks for a service that does not exist, and the test to pass. Instead the error is still thrown, Pester tells me that Expected an exception, with type [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ServiceCommandException] to be thrown, but no exception was thrown., and the test fails:

I am probably doing something that's very obvious wrong here, but I looked at it for a while and did some research, and I cannot see what is wrong with my script.

A: the type of error you get from get-service is not a throwing/operation halting error. This means that while there is an error, Powershell will continue to process your script until completed.
to make sure that any command actually halts operation and triggers pesters should -throw, you can add -erroraction stop or the alias -ea stop to the get-service command:
The issue here, however you want to look at it, is that you are testing if a command is throwing an error, and handling it this way. however the command does not throw anything. it returns an error. its not a operation stopping thing that happens (even though you can force it by setting -erroraction).
what you might want to do instead is this:
It "Testing other method" {
    Get-Service -Name "this service does not exist" -ErrorVariable er -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    $er|should -not -HaveCount 0
    $er.Exception|Should -BeOfType ([Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ServiceCommandException])
}

A: Your list object is empty list=new ArrayList();. So the getView() method will not be called. Add some values into that arraylist and try. You need to put values inside the arraylist between these statements.
listView=(ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);

list=new ArrayList<ProfileconnectedObject>();
/* For Example */
list.add(new ProfileconnectedObject());

adapter=new TwiterlistAdapter(Wood_Twiter_Feed_list.this, R.layout.wood_twititem, list);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

Try to Add some object values into the arraylist and check again.

A: If you haven't left anything out, your list is empty. Check the size of the list in getCount(), I'm pretty sure its 0.
