First approvals from flag states imminent for VIKING LifeCraft system
TAGS: people ships legal regulatory safety/security Cruise_Global
Marine safety equipment provider VIKING Life-Saving Equipment is displaying a minature model of its VIKING LifeCraft system at Seatrade Cruise Global.
Mary Bond | Mar 16, 2016
'This is a product that completely changes the lifeboat versus liferaft discussion - at least when it comes to high-capacity evacuation systems,' says VIKING director Niels Fraende.
'The VIKING LifeCraft system enables rapid, mass evacuation with maximum safety for passengers and crew,' he adds.The concept was presented to the International Maritime Organization's Sub-Committee on Ships Systems and Equipment in London last year, with the full support of the Danish Maritime Authority. VIKING Life-Saving Equipment aims to secure the first approvals from flag states this year.
The system consists of two main elements: The LifeCraft survival craft – a self- propelled inflatable vessel with four engines for a high degree of maneuverability and safety; and a stowage and launching unit, either placed on deck or built in, containing up to four LifeCraft crafts with a capacity of 200 persons each - for a total capacity of 800 persons. There is a gangway for stretchers, if needed.
Other innovations displayed on the VIKING stand at Seatrade Cruise Global include a new chute system capable of evacuating the largest number of people to date in 30 seconds. The system is simple to operate and fully operational within two minutes.
VIKING Saatsea, which develops 24/7 onboard training and management systems for STCW certification, is demonstrating the newly released STCW "refresher" packages at VIKING's stand. The system is designed to help shipowners and operators comply with the tougher demands of 2010 STCW Manilla amendments, which will come into full force on January 1, 2017.

Avid successfully defends PTAB patentability ruling before Federal Circuit
Clients Avid Technology Inc.
Jones Day, on behalf of Avid Technology, Inc. ("Avid"), successfully obtained a unanimous panel decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on March 1, 2016, affirming the PTAB's final written decision confirming the patentability of claims of Avid's U.S. Patent No. 5,495,291, directed to video decompression technologies.
Avid, a pioneer in video and audio production technology, has developed and patented solutions for creating and editing digital video, including movies and television programs. Avid had originally sued Harmonic, Inc., in the District of Delaware, accusing Harmonic of infringing several claims of Avid's '291 patent. In response, Harmonic challenged Avid's patent at the PTAB (Case No. IPR2013-00252), alleging the claims of the '291 patent were unpatentable based on a variety of prior art grounds. Avid, represented by Jones Day, was successful in defending the patent from the start, garnering an early ruling at the institution stage of the proceedings that Harmonic's challenges to four of the '291 patent claims were without merit. At the conclusion of the trial, the PTAB's final written decision confirmed that six additional claims (claims 11-16) of the patent were not unpatentable.
On appeal, the Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed the PTAB's rulings in favor of Avid, agreeing with Avid that Harmonic had failed to make a case that the claims of the '291 patent were unpatentable. The Federal Circuit stated: "On this record, we conclude that there is substantial evidence to support the Board's finding that [the prior art] neither teaches nor suggests the [] limitation in claim 11." The PTAB's patentability holding for claims 11-16 was, thus, affirmed.
The cross-office, cross-practice Jones Day team representing Avid included Greg Castanias in Washington, DC, who argued the case in the Federal Circuit on behalf of Avid, Joseph Sauer in Cleveland, and Matt Johnson in Pittsburgh.

Emotions run high in sports. From rants and tirades to hilarious acts of violence against inanimate objects, spectators have seen what happens when tempers flare in the world of competitive sports. So when NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon intentionally crashed into Clint Bowyer Sunday afternoon at Phoenix International Raceway just a couple of laps from the finish, many weren't surprised. But we should have been outraged.
Racing at speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour, NASCAR stock car racers can do more serious damage to their competitors than in most any other sport, except maybe football - just ask running back Marcus Lattimore. And for that reason Gordon being penalized 25 championship points, fined $100,000 and placed on probation for the rest of the season just isn't enough. He should be suspended for his bad behavior – a loss of cool that could have cost others their lives, and not just his intended victim.
Sometimes sports are more than just sports and Gordon's actions – though many would say Bowyer's actions earlier in the season prompted them – are not to be dismissed.
NASCAR said they looked at everything that happened both on and off the track on Sunday before deciding on the penalties and fines. We think officials should have stopped the escalating tensions before they got to the point they did Sunday – regardless of how good they were for the ratings.
A passion for the game is noble but blowups, meltdowns and downright tantrums should be discouraged, not lauded from the sport's governing body or broadcasters needing to fill talk time. The world of professional sports is a high-pressure atmosphere and that can get to even the coolest of stars but they, like us, should learn to vent in constructive ways. Let's take our cues from the likes of stoic tennis player Roger Federer, not basketball coach Bobby Knight whose antics have included throwing a chair across the court while arguing against a call.
Who among us would encourage our children to follow the footsteps of Chicago Bulls bad boy Dennis Rodman who kicked a cameraman after he fell over him during a 1997 game, causing the cameraman to be carried off in a stretcher. Kicking someone out of frustration is something an ill-behaved two-year-old would do and we shouldn't accept the behavior from professional athletes.
Instead of running into his opponent's car, Gordon should have taken tips from Minor league Braves Manager Phil Wellman who, in June 2007, became enraged over a call by the umpire and started running around the field like a mad man, stealing bases and army crawling through the dirt, before finally tiring himself out and leaving the field – with a base tucked under his arm.
If Gordon had finished the race, strolled over to Bowyer's pit area and stole say his helmet, tucking it under his arm and making off with it, that would have shown more guts. And besides that – it's much more entertaining.

The Nation Builders Program empowers the next generation of social, economic, and civic leaders to influence their peers, their government, and their economy as agents of change. Through community-based and academically-based programs we help youth from the elementary to college levels to develop leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. We give them the opportunity to immediately apply what they learn to problems in their communities. This is accomplished through a variety of asset-based and culturally-responsive programs.
Our asset-based approach challenges participants to identify their talents, determine what marketable skills they can develop from those talents, and create a path to becoming the person they want to become.
Our culturally-responsive approach helps participants to understand the history of their culture and how to apply that history to their present struggles and accomplishments. We want them to believe that their rich history is evidence that they are valued members of society who have a rich future.

Sea Dwellers Dive Center Reunion Weekend…and what a weekend!
This past weekend was our "9th Annual Sea Dwellers Reunion Weekend", and we are happy to report it was a success! Every Year for the last 8 we've held this event, which has turned out to be one of our favorite weekends of diving. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure our staff enjoys the event almost as much as our guests seem to! The idea for this originally started when we realized how many wonderful people returned to dive with us year after year. We started putting together a list of these folks and discovered that many had been diving with Sea Dwellers Dive Center for years and some even decades! The list was pretty long, we are happy to say, and we are honored to be the destination of choice for these wonderful divers who choose to spend their dive vacations with us!
So we wanted to offer something special for these divers, many of whom have become like friends & family to us, and Boom…Sea Dwellers Reunion Weekend was born! The event includes of course a lot of scuba diving, but also a lot more: We have a "Special Guest" each year; we've offered activities including treasure hunts, photography contests, reef cleanups, Champagne cruises, night dives, and always a big party (that has become a costume party), including dinner, beverages, and prizes to cap off the weekend! Our "Special Guests" have included a couple world-renowned underwater photographers, an Oceanographer, a NOAA Sanctuary Founder, and this year a NOAA Blue Star Program Rep.
We are happy to say that this year's event was the biggest ever! We had many divers who had been to past Reunions of course, but also had some "new blood"…folks that had been diving with us before but first time for Reunion. Speaking of repeat customers… Melinda Gardner made it again this year and has not missed one. We consider her the "Queen of Sea Dwellers"…and our biggest fan! Thanks Melinda!
Our divers came from Tennessee, California, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Massachusetts, Florida, Michigan and Louisiana to dive key largo with Sea Dwellers this year!
The weather cooperated… the first day started with a little chop but blue skies, light north breeze, good vis, and good diving prevailed! Because many of the participants know each other from diving with Sea Dwellers over the years, the group, as usual, meshed together quickly. Staff and divers all play well together for this Key Largo diving event!
This year we were very happy to welcome our Jet Blue friends, several of which we have certified over the last couple years. They fit in well and contributed greatly to the success of this year's event! (We will be flying Jet Blue on our next trip). BTW It was also great to have the Monroe family back this year afte r missing the last few!
The costume party Saturday night was a big hit as always, (but maybe a little more raucous than usual?) We served fresh steamed Key West Pink shrimp caught locally here in the Keys and everyone seemed to enjoy them. Interestingly, the original Reunion was not a costume party, but since the Reunion usually falls on Halloween it just kind of morphed into one. The theme this year was "When I was 20″…to help celebrate 20 years for Jeff & Rob at Sea Dwellers Dive Center.
We want to thank everyone who helped to make this year's Reunion Weekend one of the best ever! We enjoyed spending this time with you immensely, and if you don't already know this, we could not do it without you, you are the heart and soul of Sea Dwellers Dive Center!


When making style changes to your theme, we recommend that you add CSS override code to the bottom of the main theme.scss.liquid file. This preserves the original source code of the theme when makes troubleshooting much easier as well as updating your theme to a newer version.
From the theme editor (customize theme) click "Theme actions" and then "Edit code" to get to the theme editor.
On the right code area, scroll to the very bottom of the file (it's a very long file), add the code snippet to the very bottom of the file on a new line after all other code. Make a couple blank lines before pasting the code snippet.
Keyboard shortcuts: Mac use Command-DownArrow to reach the bottom of the file quickly or on Windows use the End key.
It's very important to add the code to the bottom of the file rather than modifying the original source code. This will help when you update your theme to a newer version and most importantly preserves the original code in case the code you add does not work or you need to remove it in the future. Always add the code on a new line and do not mix with any other code.
Pro tip: Always make a duplicate of your theme before performing code changes.
Modify the code at your own risk. Groupthought will not provide any warranty or support for code changes. Please work with a developer or Shopify Expert to ensure proper customization. We strongly recommend that you make duplicate of your theme before adding or changing any code in your theme.


HOLYGRAM presents 'A Faction', the second single off their debut album, Modern Cults, which is released on 9th November.
Produced by Maurizio Baggio, who also produced The Soft Moon's Deeper and Criminal albums, this long-play was recorded at Cologne's Amen Studios. The new video for 'A Faction' is produced by WE OWN YOU GmbH and directed by Jan-Peter Horns with animation by Alison Flora.
The press release provides previous little detail about the release, or the artist, beyond a brief summary of his broad interdisciplinary pursuits which include dance, theatre, live electronics improvisations and audiovisual performances and installations. It's quite an expansion on his biography last time I encountered his work, back in 2011, when he simply described himself as a 'sound artist'. That was when he released the ambient-orientated exploration usure.paysage.
Transfert/Futur is a long way from ambient. Heavy on the synths, it's a beaty work that packs some considerable attack amidst the airy pulses and breezy blossoms of effervescence. It contains two tracks, the first of which, 'transfert (299 792 458 m/s)' is the audio element of a touring sound/light installation from 2017. On CD, it's simply sound without the light, and clearly, the interactive and multisensory aspect of the project is nowhere near fully represented. Nevertheless, musically, it works. Over the course of some eighteen minutes, Bernier builds the atmosphere but above all, builds the beats. Scratchy, stuttering, synthetic, exploding in all directions, the rhythms pop and thrum, marching surges halting abruptly to change direction before powering forwards once more embarking on a propellant trajectory. The surround synths glide, pop and bubble, but mostly click and bleep and elongate, morphing and stretching longways, occasionally plunging into expansive, oceanic depths and venturing into eerie subaquatic territories. With so many false starts, false ends, twists, turns and unpredictable stammers, it's anything but linear.
The second composition, 'synthèse (299 792 458 m/s)' has no such obvious context attached, but again is centred around warping synths and woozy bass tones wrapped around bold beats. Over the course of twelve minutes, it swerves from oblique bleeps and minimalist electronic squiggles and arabesques, via slow-building crescendos, to passages approximating straight-ahead dance music that you can actually get down to. As the track progresses, its form gradually dissolves. The soundscape is increasingly rent with bleeps and whispers and tranquillity always gives way to tension after a few uncountable bars. Microbeats and circuit spasms come to dominate the swell of hyperenergetic electrodes in synaptic collapse. Finally, nothing is left but a quivering whistle which slowly decays to nothing.
What does it all mean? Probably precious little. Transfert / Futur is about the journey, and the algorithms, rather than the meaning. It's not a journey that traverses from A to B, but burrows its way into its own unique space.
Ummagma really do have some impressive friends and fans. The Canadian dreampop duo's lush, textured shoegaze has garnered them not only and admirable fanbase and favourable critical reception, but has placed them into direct contact and collaboration with a number of their heroes.
The 'LCD' EP, which follows up their 'Winter Tale' maxi-single with 4AD dream pop pioneer A.R.Kane earlier this year, features four tracks, including the new original title track 'LCD', and reworkings of Ummagma songs two legendary British musical figures in the form of Cocteau Twin Robin Guthrie, and Dean Garcia of Curve and, latterly, SPC ECO.
The lead track is a classic slice of 90s-tinged dreampop with tangents ago-go: a slippery funk-infused groove envelops what sounds like two independent drum tracks which interlace and intertwine, while synths bubble and grind. It all comes together to create something strangely nebulous and at the same time compellingly propulsive despite its lack of obvious form.
Dean Garcia's SPC ECO mix really accentuates the spaciness of the track, stripping it back to a sparse frame around which echoed notes and voices drift. Gloopy beats reverberate around dripping synths and elongated drones to conjure a rich atmosphere. Garcia takes a similar approach to the minimal drift of 'Back to You', which takes a turn for the darker as its resonant bass tones hang in a rarefied air, cloud-like and barely tangible yet present.
What Robin Guthrie brings to 'Lama', which originally featured on their debut album, is a real sense of appreciation of the original, and an accentuation of the nuance. He also provides not only a new arrangement and mix, but additional guitar work, which renders it more of a collaborative piece than a straight remix. There's something magically organic about it, and as Shauna McLarnon's soaring vocal tops off the sonic soufflé perfectly.

Airlines Allowed to Boost Passenger Capacity
EghtesadOnline: Domestic airlines, which were allowed to sell tickets for up to 60% of their total seating capacity when they resumed operations a few months ago, can now increase their booking to capacity, provided they strictly comply with guidelines of the National Coronavirus Headquarters on new measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Ensuring that the aircraft's APU (auxiliary power unit that provides energy for functions other than propulsion) for air conditioning is working constantly, keeping the two rows at the back of the plane vacant for passengers who might need to be quarantined, conducting regular sampling of aircraft cabin air by representatives of Health Ministry, and ensuring the full compliance of passengers with health protocols (wearing masks, disinfecting and social distancing at terminals and airport shuttles) from check-in at the airport to destination are among new measures introduced by the infection prevention committee of transportation fleet of the headquarters, IRNA reported.
As part of the economic relief package worth 80 trillion rials ($340 million) for the transportation sector approved by the government, airlines will receive a total of 20 trillion rials ($85 million) in loans to help them weather the hardship caused by the new coronavirus.
According to Maqsoud Asadi-Samani, secretary of the Association of Iranian Airlines, airlines have been introduced to designated banks and are undergoing the loan approval process.
"Since the beginning of June, airline companies could register at Kara.mcls.gov.ir for coronavirus loans that will be offered at the lending rate of 12%," he was quoted as saying by News.mrud.ir late July.
"Air travel and tourism have been the hardest-hit industries in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic."
Latest data released by Iran Airports Company show international air traffic in Iran is beginning to experience growth after the spread of the new coronavirus caused a significant slump in both passenger and cargo sectors.
The IAC data show the number of international takeoffs and landings, as well as the handling of passengers and cargo, during the fourth month of the current Iranian year (June 21–July 21) registered a 100%, 89% and 100% increase respectively compared with the preceding month.
In case of domestic flights, the takeoffs and landings increased by 2% while the handling of passengers and cargos fell by 2% and 11% respectively compared to the previous month.
The total number of takeoffs and landings during the month under review saw a 3% rise compared with the preceding month.
However, the total number of passengers and the volume of cargos handled during the period witnessed a 2% and 6% decline respectively month-on-month
In the fourth Iranian month, a total of 21,767 takeoffs and landings were registered, which indicate a 28% decline compared with the similar period of last year.
More than 1.94 million passengers and 14,328 tons of cargos were transported during the month, indicating a 45% and 51% YOY drops respectively.
The report shows 21,552 takeoffs and landings were registered by domestic flights from June 21 to July 21, down 23% YOY. Over 1.93 million passengers and 12,960 tons of cargo were transported domestically, indicating a 39% and 44% decrease respectively YOY.
On the international front, 215 takeoffs and landings were registered, showing a 91% decrease YOY. A total of 8,605 passengers and more than 1,367 tons of cargo were transported to and from overseas destinations, indicating a 97% and %78 fall respectively YOY.
Iran Airports Company is an arm of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, which manages 54 airports across the country.

Left Bank Books welcomes Fulbright fellow Julia Phillips, who will sign and discuss her debut novel, Disappearing Earth, with Left Bank bookseller Shane Mullen!
One August afternoon, on the shoreline of the Kamchatka peninsula at the northeastern edge of Russia, two girls—sisters, eight and eleven—go missing. In the ensuing weeks, then months, the police investigation turns up nothing. Echoes of the disappearance reverberate across a tightly woven community, with the fear and loss felt most deeply among its women. Taking us through a year in Kamchatka, Disappearing Earth enters with astonishing emotional acuity the worlds of a cast of richly drawn characters, all connected by the crime: a witness, a neighbor, a detective, a mother. Spellbinding, moving—evoking a fascinating region on the other side of the world—this suspenseful and haunting story announces the debut of a profoundly gifted writer.
This event is free and open to the signing line, but proof of purchase of Disappearing Earth from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line. Click here to pre-order your copy!


It started in Salzburg. Last summer, I traveled to Europe for the first time in my then-47 years. The trip included my very supportive dean, the Study Abroad director, and several friends and colleagues from Eastern Kentucky University, where I have taught for fifteen years. Our reason for the visit was to attend the Salzburg Global Seminar, and we sweated our way through an anomalous heat wave in Austria as American academics spoiled to air conditioning. During our week in Salzburg, we focused on transforming EKU students into global citizens, a goal that had to include more study abroad opportunities. I quickly volunteered.
The 2015 Salzburg Global Seminar was held at the Schloss Leopoldskron.
The fantasy, or how the week ended for me. Cheese? Prosecco? A thousand photos on my phone? Nope. A teaching experience somewhere in Europe for part of Summer 2016. I spun the fantasy into a course description and a title, and Jennifer and Katie in Education Abroad @ EKU held my hand for the rest of the work. Nine scholarship recipients, a renewed passport, an AirBnB reservation, and plane tickets later, I am heading to Florence, Italy, to teach Feminism and Beauty in Florentine Art for the month of June.
First things first: I needed good walking shoes, but not just any shoes. They had to be comfortable with a bendable, thick(ish), but not clunky sole, and they had to be at least minimally attractive. I went to my favorite shoe store, Soft Shoe in Richmond, and tried on four or five pairs, holding out hope for a pretty maroon pair by Jambu. However, the maroon ones felt like they were flopping around on my feet, and the Cobb Hill Pippa Mary Janes won my overall approval. A pair of Naot sandals were on clearance, and I went home with two pairs of hopefully comfortable, durable, supportive shoes for my miles of daily Italian walking.
Another necessity: language. One of my early misconceptions about the trip was that my halting Spanish would easily transfer to Italian, and I wouldn't have to study much at all. Le ultime parole famose (which I had to look up)! I'm slowly learning the basics via the free and fabulous DuoLingo app on my phone, and I sincerely hope I get the chance to say Mangio una mela (I eat an apple) while I'm in Tuscany. At the least, I'll know how to tell servers that I don't eat meat.
This print of Christine De Pizan is special to me not only for the image of a late-Medieval Italian-French woman writing in her study, but most of all because it was a gift from my mentor, Dr. Elizabeth Oakes, in 1993.
No curbing my enthusiasm. Italy has always been my number one destination for as long as I can remember, back to tracing the boot on primary school maps and in college diving completely into the works of Dante, the Brownings, Millay, and even Christine de Pizan. If I had my way, I'd be working only on the Italy course 24/7 instead of filling out administrative forms, compiling necessary data, filing committee reports, and grading papers. That's why I've started this blog in addition to the need to start blogging on a regular basis before I pound the cobblestones of Florence. This blog won't be an Eat, Pray, Love or an Under the Tuscan Sun. It will be my souvenir, my travel narrative, my gratitude.
Teaching Feminism and Beauty in Florentine Art in ITALY?! That sounds incredible. I just followed you–so excited to read all about your adventure!

PASTORAL LETTER
THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH;
READ BEFORE THE GENERAL CONVENTION AT TRINITY CHURCH,
BOSTON, MASS., ON
Wednesday Evening, October 24, 1877.
AUTHORIZED EDITION.
DEAR BRETHREN OF THE CLERGY AND LAITY:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and with all the Israel of God. We, your bishops, assembled in greater numbers than ever before, complying with the request of the House of Deputies, and impressed with a sense of our responsibility to our Lord Christ, set forth and address to you this, our Pastoral Letter.
Our clerical brethren will bear in mind that our address to them flows from hearts full of sympathy and affection, as bearing the same commission under the same Captain of our salvation.
Permit us, then, to remind you; whose representatives we are, with what message we are intrusted, and for what end. Is it not to repeat, as far as we can, to every dweller on this earth, the story of the Cross? We dwell in the midst of those whom we know to be lost sinners; but who amongst listless crowds, or throngs of busy men, feels this truth? Until men realize it, in vain we offer to them the gospel of a divine, compassionate, all-sufficient Saviour. This is the message the apostles bore, and this the secret of their wonderful success. We received it from our Lord and His apostles, through our fathers of three hundred years ago; and we renew the charge to-day, preach "Christ, and him Crucified, the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth."
But you will vainly endeavor to impress upon others a sense of the value of this gospel, unless your own lives are examples of its power. With what face can you exhort others to become new creatures in Christ Jesus, unless the mind which was in Him be also in you? Character is the true source of ministerial influence. Only character renewed by the Holy Ghost, [1/2] and moulded after the image of Christ, can secure for a minister the fullest success. Therefore, we remind you, that on the power of your personal religion and that of your families, as well as on your fidelity in preaching the pure principles of our holy religion, our Church must depend, in great measure, for its success in impressing the obligations of personal holiness.
On this topic of personal holiness, which concerns every member of the church, we address ourselves with all affectionate earnestness to our dear brethren of the laity, not less than to the clergy.
Any true church is a light in a dark place; but our ancestry runs so high that, in this country, we stand like a city set upon a bill, which cannot be hid; and by every claim which we put forth, our responsibility becomes the more manifest to testify what is Scriptural, what is wise, and what is holy.
In the name by which the Church Catholic is commonly known, one august epithet is especially impressive. The Church is "Holy." That term not only marks the divine origin, the sinless headship, and the glorious consummation of this body of our Lord, but it points to a personal obligation laid on every one of its members. Holy, in Him who planted it, loves it, and nourishes it, its holiness is to be manifested in the human lives it consecrates and fashions. The unbelief of our time in the supernatural elements of the Gospel, is largely due to the want of a visible and vital connection between that which comes down from above, and the daily life of men on the earth. Plainly, therefore, it becomes a direct duty of our ministry, to proclaim, with its utmost energy, that the law of holiness in the New Testament, is a law of holiness for men under all conditions, and under all circumstances of life. Many of the religious guides and teachers of the people address themselves too little to the conscience, and aim at other ends, than the formation of character in the principles of Christian righteousness; therefore, the land is daily humiliated by financial crimes, frauds, defalcations, and betrayals in its trusted citizens. Patriotism fails to restrain men from robbing their country, or natural pity from ruining the orphan, the widow, the Indian. Violated contracts, fiduciary perversions, forgery and perjury make up the alarming records of the public press. Nothing will prevent these crimes but a fearless affirmation of the commandments of the Most High, with all their sanctions and penalties. We are to follow the steps and deliver the message of the Great Shepherd, as well as to [2/3] sit at His feet. We are not to rest until a "Holy Church" reaps its fruit in a holy nation, whose God is the Lord, doing the things which the Lord says.
The church of God needs a high standard of morals and a pure practice as urgently as it needs an increased Episcopate or multiplied missionaries. We exhort those of you who preach Christ, to preach right living, and to preach it not in generalities, but in definite particulars. Multitudes in all communities weigh our work, and learn the claims of our system, not from our literature, but from the lives of those whom we baptize and confirm. We are sent to call sinners to repent of specific sins of dishonesty and double dealing, of lying and cheating, of slander and swearing, of lust and idleness, of excesses in eating and drinking and dress, of gambling and rioting, of desecration of the Lord's day; and of the beginnings of all of these iniquities. We are to uncover all their modifications, disguises, and apologies. We are to rebuke selfishness in all its ungodly shapes, impiety in all its practical profanations; and on the other hand we are to instruct in, and encourage by precept and consecrated lives, all the virtues of a godly character; honesty and truthfulness, sincerity and constancy, moderation, sobriety, and purity of life, gentleness, compassion, and charity. Brethren of the laity, we beseech you so distinctly to practise the precepts of our holy religion, that men who see your manners, may be able to gives names to the graces and virtue, which you illustrate. Let your holy living be outspoken, and never justly liable to misinterpretation, nor marred by inconsistencies.
Practical thinkers in these days are looking to the Church for a visible Gospel. They will not shut their ears to the blessed tidings of God's mercy if they see with their eyes, that it is working out holiness in the character of those who possess it.
Closely following on this line of thought is the subject of practical religion.
Religion in action has more force in this world than religion in theory. The life of God, if it be in a church, will manifest its vital activity through the members thereof. If it flows through means of grace, it will flow into persons. It will show its power in the individual, as well as by the organized parish. Living members will not be content with cultivating personal holiness, but will work for Christ by every means which the church sanctions.
[4] We rejoice with you, beloved, that under the impression of these truths our Church has recognized the value of lay agency; and is rapidly systematizing it. Our pulpit fails to reach a large class of the community, but the Gospel can be successfully carried to them, as has been proved by well-tested experience, by lay people, through men's and women's Bible classes, mothers' meetings, church guilds, workingmen's clubs, industrial schools and Parish missions. We particularize these instrumentalities not to exhaust the enumeration, but to emphasize the methods. In the full work of such instrumentalities opportunity is offered to all our lay people, both men and women, and all peculiarities of disposition, and of taste, may find occupation. But we caution you that this field of labor is so nearly allied to the responsible labor of your ministers, that it will be most successfully occupied by those whose religion has become experimental, and whose spiritual character has been tested, developed, and well rounded.
In pressing these duties we exhort you, brethren, to remember your self-consecration. The breadth of your sacramental vows is the measure of your duty.
We are reminded by our Brethren of the house of Clerical and Lay Deputies of this General Convention, who have asked oar counsel in the matter, that on one point cautions may be expedient to guide the enthusiasm of your Christian zeal. We speak plainly, for it has become necessary to warn the men and women in our congregations, against any measures, in the management of ecclesiastical or charitable affairs, which are liable even to the suspicion of moral ambiguity. There are easy opportunities in our parishes for devices which in secular business are barely tolerable, but which in the Church have nothing whatever to excuse their Sordidness or their vulgarity, except that they bring needed money to a worthy cause. It is not necessary to specify these abuses, or to characterize them as they deserve. It is enough that they lie close to the border of forbidden ground. If associations with the gaming table, the lottery, the race-course, the playhouse, are inconsistent with Christian character, how much more when a church thus associates itself for the purpose of advancing the interests of Christ's kingdom!
They put upon the lips of scoffers and apostates the sneer, that the people of God, to compass an inferior end, are as ready as men of the world to postpone duty to expediency, or to sell truth and honor in the markets. It [4/5] becomes you, brethren, to hold our church life and church economy aloof from these unhallowed concessions. We may well walk long with our Master in His path of poverty, and bide our time. We can suffer no real defeat if we cling to the rules of His kingdom. True charity can never be made one thing with self-indulgence, or turned into a thrifty traffic. As soon as we are ready to welcome the principle of sacrifice as the Saviour has revealed it, bringing the due proportion of all we have to His service, these dubious resorts of a half-faithless policy will disappear, and the kingdom will come with power.
It has been our habit on these occasions, to warn you against any danger which seems imminent, especially if it be a lurking danger.
Accordingly we utter our solemn warning against the dangers which now threaten Religion and Society, from want of fidelity to sacred obligations.
First. From want of fidelity to parental obligations in the education of children. Fathers and mothers, charged of God with the duty of training children, are bound to a personal discharge of that duty, using such proper helps as may be furnished by Parish or Sunday Schools, and schools and colleges under our Church's care; nevertheless, the responsibility for principles imbibed, and habits formed by their children, rests on themselves as parents. They have accepted the sacred relationship, they must accept its obligations. Before God they are charged to employ every influence and instruction, to use every proper check, and all authority to fashion their offspring for usefulness in society, and for the highest service of Christ. Much of the corruption in public and social life which startles us, has its root in defective family training. Where instruction in regard to the baptismal covenant is infrequent, or is not given at all, while wealth, with its accompanying influences, is regarded as the chief good in life, the children of the Church cannot be expected to grow up into Christ in all things. When children must quit the family to enter school life, parents should provide against their exposure to flagrant contradictions of the truth which they have received at home, and which has been confirmed to them by this Church.
It is inconsistent to send your children to schools administered in the interests of Rome, or in sympathy with any of its dangerous errors. Your obligation is to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Let no man deceive himself with the thought that no influences will be [5/6] exerted by such schools to withdraw our children from the truth in which they have been nurtured. It would be as dishonest in Romish teachers, who believe that their salvation is imperilled by non-communion with the Church of Rome, not to influence the children committed to them, as it is sinful in you and perilous for them, to submit their susceptible years to such religious impressions. The perversion of your children is a predetermined end of receiving them into Romish schools. Your children will become negative Protestants, if not positive Romanists. Is it worth your while, for the sake of accomplishments in needlework, and painting, and music, and dancing which they offer freely, to invite your children to accept errors which your fathers escaped only at the price of blood? Hold fast, beloved, for your households and yourselves, the Faith once delivered to the Saints, recorded in the Scriptures of truth, and witnessed unto by the creeds of your church. Upon that faith, both we and ours may stand by the grace of God, unmoved as upon a rock.
Second. The danger to religion and society from want of fidelity to the sacredness of marriage. In giving these our counsels to the Church, we feel constrained to advert to a subject which is of painful interest to many persons, and which, from its very nature, we would gladly leave untouched, did our sense of duty permit us to be silent. That subject is the great and growing disregard in our country of the sanctity of marriage. The evil is shown in the levity with which marriage is contracted, in the unscrupulousness with which it is entered upon by men and women to whom it is forbidden, by the laws of the ancient Church of God, by the laws of the Christian Church, and, in some instances, by the laws of nature itself. The same unhappy tendency is shown in the readiness with which divorces are obtained on slight and insufficient grounds; and subsequent unions formed which are called marriages, but which our Lord has pronounced to be adulteries.
The baneful and unchristian state of public opinion which tolerates and frequently even legalizes such acts, is a portentous omen for the future of religion and society in our country. The sanctity of marriage is the moral power which mainly binds together and upholds the duties, the interests, the charities, and the decencies of social life. Without it conjugal love decays, parental love is weakened, the nurture and training of children are neglected or perverted; the purity and peace of the Christian home are exchanged for the corruption, the [6/7] strife, the frequent homicides, the anarchy of heathen society. All human history teaches us that in an age or country where marriage is lightly esteemed, the people become degraded, effeminate, and at the same time fierce, cruel, and lawless. The great nations, the heroic, the free, have been marked by this characteristic, that they honored marriage. And what is of immeasurably more importance, where marriage is disregarded, the souls of men are grievously imperilled and many times lost; for He who is our Judge as well as our Saviour, has distinctly forewarned us that he who marries after divorce obtained upon insufficient grounds, commits adultery, and, living and dying in that state, lives and dies in deadly sin. The Church has already forbidden her ministers to perform such marriages; and if fuller and more efficient legislation on her part be needed, it will no doubt be provided.
Meanwhile, we urge it upon our brethren in the sacred ministry to instruct the families committed to their charge, with renewed care and diligence, in those principles of moral purity which give honor and strength to Christian wedlock. We urge it upon parents to train their children to a clear knowledge of what the law of God requires in the relations of the sexes, as well as in guarded habits in whatever pertains to the manners and intercourse of social life; and we urge it upon all our people to preserve the chastity and constancy of that divine bond between husband and wife, which our Lord has chosen as a living image to represent the mystical union of Himself with His Bride, the Church.
Third. The danger of society, and the stability of the commonwealth, from the unsettled relations between the classes which represent capital and labor. To state the question is to expose the danger. We do not purpose to trace the causes of it. Our duty is to teach the rich and the poor, both the workman and his employer, their several obligations, not only to themselves but to each other. Our aim as a church is to bring these classes into harmony, upon the common plane of a redeemed humanity.
The representatives of capital and labor are brothers, made in the same Divine image, amenable to the same Divine law, charged with different duties, but under the same responsibility, answerable to the same common Father, and bound by the same moral rule of right and wrong.
That social science which attempts to adjust the varying relations of [7/8] men, as to work and wages, rank and condition, but leaves out of view his relations to God, and to his brethren in the family of God, call never give a true philosophy of life, or furnish a remedy for the evil complained of. No legislation can satisfy this need which busies itself solely about restrictive laws or directive enactments touching labor and capital, but takes no cognizance of the Divine command, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
The Church of God presents this remedy. It lies in the practical application of these two truths: "God is no respecter of persons," and "Christ died for all." On that basis men's relations to each other may be satisfactorily readjusted. No reform can regenerate the surface of society that does not first regenerate its inner life. No power can grapple with that inner life but the power of the Holy Ghost. The basis of all reforms that shall meet the necessity of all times and all classes is a renewed life of the individual soul. Consequently the church must meet all the outcropping of evil, not by a new remedy, but by a more thorough application of the one only remedy, the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Personal efforts of pastors coming down from the pulpit into homes, and personal communication of Christian employers with the laboring classes, in practical manifestations of brotherly sympathy, the bridging over of the chasm between capital and labor by Christian brotherliness; such is the remedy. The defence of society is the magnetism of Christ's love in the hearts of Christ's children, attracting and drawing together those elements of human life which are antagonistic, or would otherwise be repelled.
We turn now from topics of social concern to a topic of imminent interest to our beloved Church.
On the subject of our missions, your bishops speak in earnest expostulation.
Whilst many occurrences awaken gratitude and hope, we are pained by the general apathy, which has prevented our Church, during three years past, from meeting opportunities and from facing its difficulties. Financial depression has disturbed the courses, and diminished the sources, of supply. We do not under rate this cause. But we deplore the fact, that neither the faith, nor energy, nor self-sacrifice, nor generous alms of the Church have adequately met the need. In hours of depression, faith should show its power. In emergencies, energy should be increased. When the exigencies of God's church call His missionary [8/9] servants to anxiety and suffering, they call all other members of the Body to self-sacrifice. When the missionary treasury is embarrassed, then God is bidding His people to more generous gifts. But we have not seen these results, beloved! Instead, we have seen that whilst luxuries have been scarcely diminished, your offerings for the Lord's work have sensibly decreased. We notice little change in your habits of easy living or ecclesiastical expense, but a marked change for the worse in your habits of giving for missions. Instead of cutting off extravagances, too many of our dear brethren in Christ have cut of their charities.
We might reprove this spirit of selfishness as the Lord hath given us authority. But rather we will put you in remembrance of what our gracious Lord hath said, that "it is more blessed to give than to receive": and we argue as the apostle did, "Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be made rich." Being therefore now enriched by Him in all things, we pray you, out of your abundance, to supply in all things the necessities of our missionary work.
With different emotions we address those members of our spiritual household, who, out of their abundance, have given liberally to missions, and those who, out of their poverty, have given still richer offerings to Christ. And our hearts have been much moved by the constancy with which the children of our Church have poured gifts into the treasury of the Lord. In the midst of much depression these things comfort our hearts.
But nothing yet done by our Church is commensurate with our duty and our opportunities. A living church is a missionary church. A church which feels the love of Christ must be busy in extending the area of that Divine love. True devotion of soul is thorough devotion of life. A church imbued with the Gospel manifests the power of the Gospel. We remind you, beloved, that the life and teachings of the Saviour were immediately followed by the acts of the apostles; and that the disciples to whom lie said, "Go, preach my Gospel, in all the world," obeyed and went. No Church can defend its apostolic claim which is not a missionary church. Therefore we beseech you to pray for and to encourage a missionary spirit. We entreat our brethren of the clergy to inform their people fully concerning [9/10] the principles, methods, claims, and success of our missionary work. We advise all theological seminaries of our Church to provide a thorough course of study of the history, condition, and obligations of missions. We counsel you all to read and ponder our missionary journal--"The Spirit of Missions." It furnishes information concerning opportunities opening before our Church in every part of the world. It records labors and sacrifices and successes of our fellow-helpers, Bishops and Presbyters, laymen and women, instant in season and out of season, at home and abroad. No intelligent interest or charity for the missionary work can exist, until Christian judgment has been enlightened and affections moved by facts which exhibit spiritual need, and by the motives which lie beneath them.
Your Bishops regard the missionary work as at this time demanding of every member of our Church renewed consecration and concentrated effort. Systematic giving and systematized labor are pressing needs, together with unanimity in both. Parochial systems differ, but no parish is properly organized which has not some defined and established system in these charities.
It is a critical period in the moral history of the world.
At this moment commercial activity has opened avenues for Christianity into every nation. Even the interior of Africa has now been traversed by Christian exploration. Ease of communication and constant intercourse are rapidly dissolving barriers between heathen and christianized peoples.
Heathen nations are curious as to the source of our civilized superiority. At this moment Indians, Chinese, and Africans, by peculiar providences, are brought into immediate relations to our Christianity. They expect to find in our Western and Southern Missionary Districts the same religion which our missionaries carry to their ancestral homes. Domestic missions and church extension become all the more engaging, because of the imminent pressure of foreign missions. Our emigrants should carry, and immigrants should find, the pure Gospel of Christ, within the safeguards of our Communion, in every State and Territory of our country; and this Christianity should meet these heathen inquirers everywhere, and everywhere the same.
This is our opportunity, as a Church, in a nation whose commerce binds it to every people on the earth.
[11] It has pleased Almighty God, in His wise and wonderful providence, to place side by side on this continent two colonies of the most vigorous race of men. Coming to America at periods somewhat distant and under very unlike circumstances, yet they are contiguous to each other, and their territories reach through many degrees of latitude, and stretch from ocean to ocean across the continent. The Churches of the United States and of the Dominion, both deriving their origin through the Church of England, and adopting from her Reformation their government, ministry, and liturgy, form two branches of the same Church of Christ, in North America, which traces its history back to the apostles' times. The last twenty-five years have brought us very near together; never so near as during this session of our General Convention. The delegation from this sister Church, you have received with the honor and warm affection due alike to their mission and their personal character; and we feel that they have left a benediction behind them.
It has pleased the Great Head of the Church to place in the hands of the two branches thereof, the sacred deposit of His word, His sacraments, and His ministry, to be used for the benefit of the millions who are crowding into North America. Well may we exclaim "Who is sufficient for these things?"
By the help of Almighty God, and in the power of His Spirit, we may present the Church in her life, her services, and her teachings, purely, simply, and with effect, in every portion of this continent. In our North and South western States and Territories, and in the Dominion of Canada, every acre of land is now covered by the jurisdiction of a Bishop of the Anglican Communion. Our Episcopal organization affords us great advantages. Every movement is guided by a wise forecast, and experience teaches us that the rough miner, and the bold huntsman of the West, when aroused to a sense of the value of his soul, easily learns, and soon prefers to worship his reconciled Father in the forms of our liturgy.
Up then, brethren! The land is large, and it is a goodly land which the Lord hath blessed. Up! enter in, and possess it.
These triennial assemblings of our College of Bishops, and this closing hour of the session, remind us of that solemn occasion when the Apostles gathered around our blessed Lord, to listen to His last words and hear His last [11/12] command. We have been greatly refreshed by communing with our brethren of the clergy and laity, and taking counsel with them of the things which concern the gospel of the grace of God, and the Church which Christ hath purchased with His most precious blood. But we hear again His command, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." We, your Bishops, and these your Ministers are obedient to that sacred word. We are going from this place north, south, west to the Empire of China, and east even to the shores of Africa, each on his several errand. Every State and Territory of our own country, Japan, China, Greece, Liberia, Haiti, and Mexico, in foreign lands, our Freedmen and our Indians, will witness to the fidelity of our Church to that command. We beseech you, beloved in the Lord, to follow us with your faith and charity, your hope and sympathy, your prayers and alms.
And now, dear Brethren, we commend you to God, and the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance amongst all those who are sanctified through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be all glory, dominion, and power world without end!

Community celebrates Marywood's 104th Opening Liturgy
The Mass of the Holy Spirit. Photo credit: Erin Yeager

For the 104th year in a row, the Marywood community gathered together for the Mass of the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the Opening Liturgy.
Those who attended gathered in the Sette LaVerghetta Center for Performing Arts for the 11 a.m. service on Wednesday. During this time, professors dismissed their students early so all were able to attend. Classes resumed at 1:15 p.m.
Marywood President Sr. Mary Persico, IHM, Ed.D gave her regular welcome to start off the new semester. After the liturgy, Persico said the gathering wasn't a regular mass.
"The Opening Liturgy is a way to ask God to bless our year at school and bless all of our students," Persico said. "With everything going on in the world, it's really great to stand as a community at the beginning of the academic year."
After Persico's welcoming speech, Rev. Joseph P. Elston took over and began the service.
"It's always an honor to be here," Elston said. "No matter the faith of everyone in the room, you can always feel such a great deal of community and university pride."
Associate Professor of English Dr. Erin Sadlack stood next to Persico and Elston on stage. After the mass, Sadlack said that the liturgy is a way to bring Marywood together not only as a school, but as a community.
"Regardless of faith and regardless of politics, [the Opening Liturgy] is a way to come together and to affirm all of our spirits that we are here for one another," Sadlack said.
Afterwards, the Opening Picnic took place in the Calabro Delfino Amphitheatre. There, everyone enjoyed a variety of barbecue foods, drinks and fresh fruit.
"The weather is beautiful and the food is delicious," Persico said. "Spirits are high and everyone is laughing. What could be a better start to the year?"

The 32 meter long passenger vessel Pannenkoekenboot 3 collided with a tanker-barge on the Waal River off Nijmegen, Netherlands. The Pannenkoekenboot 3 was on a river cruise loaded with 50 passengers when it suffered engine failure. The vessel became unmanageable and was headed to collide into a passing tanker-barge loaded with gas. The master of the Pannenkoekenboot 3 reacted quickly and used the vessel's bow thruster to avoid a serious collision . The passenger ship did graze against the tanker-barge, but no reports of injuries on either vessel. Reports state hull damage was minor on both vessels. The tanker-barge was able to proceed on its voyage. The Pannenkoekenboot 3 was later towed to Nijmegen. No pollution was released.

My trip to South Africa kicked off in possibly the most cliche way possible: a full-blown safari weekend at a luxury game reserve in the Pilanesberg National Park. I didn't really know what to expect… I mean, my experience of a safari has been limited to the rather sad English version, whereby a bunch of family cars tootle around a big park in the cold, British weather, with visitors excitedly pointing at listless and lazy animals that have no business being in the UK. This, however, was the real deal. Piling into big ol' land cruisers with an enthusiastic guide, within 5 minutes we'd spotted our first animals. My iPhone wasn't really going to do the whole thing much justice, so thankfully, my photographer partner in crime managed to capture some of the highlights.
Check out more wonderful photos from Charl van Rooy here.

The TIFF Cinematheque series People Have the Power: Resistance in Filipino Cinema begins October 5.
For many, Filipino cinema continues to be defined by the great firebrand director Lino Brocka, whose fierce social dramas such as Insiang and Manila in the Claws of Light scourged the Marcos regime and the no less tyrannical power of the Catholic Church. Championed in the West by such supporters as longtime TIFF programmer David Overbey, Brocka became the first Filipino director whose films travelled widely on the international circuit, and he continues to be a potent influence on the filmmakers who followed him. Both the subjects and the aesthetics of such directors as Joel C. Lamangan, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, and Erik Matti are marked by the combination of melodrama, social realism, and plays on genre conventions that characterized Brocka at his best.
In the late 20th century, Filipino cinema underwent a sea change thanks to the advent of digital video, and it produced a new filmmaker to take on Brocka's mantle: Lav Diaz, whose epic (and epic-length) works have been acclaimed worldwide for their humanism, their fusion of the naturalistic and the allegorical, their aesthetic audacity, and their outrage and indignation at the abuses the director's country has suffered. Along with another member of the digital wave, Adolfo Alix, Jr. — whose most recent film, the remarkable Dark is the Night, tackles Duterte's war on drugs head on — Diaz has honoured the tradition inaugurated by Brocka by making resistance both the motivating spirit and the artistic core of contemporary Filipino filmmaking.

Understanding Legal Issues
Jan 19, 2023 Gambling News
Law is a set of rules that govern social interactions and the activities of individuals, businesses and governments. It includes the legal system and the processes of justice. Legal issues can arise when a person is accused of a crime, plans an event, gets into trouble at work or finds that he or she has a problem with money or housing.
Law is a political discipline that ensures that human rights are protected, orderly social change occurs, and that property and contract rights are preserved. Law can also serve to protect minorities against majority opinion.
Law is created by the government and is often based on the Constitution. Governments enforce laws with the aid of the executive and the judiciary. These laws must be equally applied by all citizens. The United States has a number of federal courts that define the law and interpret the Constitution.
Law varies depending on the jurisdiction. Some common examples of law are criminal law, civil procedure, evidence law and tax law. A nation's law can be divided into three categories, which include federal, state and civil.
Civil law is a legal system that requires fewer judicial decisions. This type of system is often short and is based on the doctrine of precedent, which states that a court's decision is binding on future courts.
Criminal law is a specialized area of law that deals with the prosecution of criminals. In this field, the criminal acts are defined by public law and the crime is investigated by the police. Depending on the jurisdiction, a judge may impose a prison term for breaking the law.
Case law is a collection of judicial decisions. This is different from legislation, which is a written statute. Both are based on the concrete facts of a case, although case law can differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Legal systems vary depending on their historical roots and their aims. For instance, ancient Greek philosophy and Roman law were based on a concept of "natural law", which refers to the unchanging truth of the universe. Various legal systems have been developed since then. Besides Greek and Roman law, legal systems have been developed in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Holland.
Some modern legal systems are based on the concept of "international law". It is a relatively new field that covers aspects of human activity in space, particularly liability issues and property rights.
Other types of legal systems are based on religious principles. Jewish Halakha and Islamic Sharia are examples of such laws. Religions provide a basis for law through interpretation, consensus and reasoning by analogy.
Another type of legal system is the common law. In this system, judges explicitly acknowledge decisions made by the executive branch and thereby acknowledge that law has been established. Common law also implies the doctrine of precedent, whereby a judicial decision is binding on future judicial decisions.
In a country with an authoritarian government, this could mean oppression and discrimination against political opponents. The First Amendment, for example, protects the right to freedom of speech and press.


Update January 22, 2016: The original post has been modified to reflect that the commands install and upgrade were moved from the unstable namespace to the local namespace. Also added is use of the environment variable $REBAR3_ERL_ARGS in the run script which allows the user to specify custom Erlang VM arguments like: REBAR3_ERL_ARGS="+A10" rebar3 shell.
Rebar3 comes with a lot of new and improved features. I'll be publishing posts here to highlight some of these features over the coming weeks.
Rebar is an escript bundle, and this has been very important to its ease of use, mainly because they let Erlang users have a single file acting as an executable, regardless of the underlying Erlang installation, which can even be committed to a project's repository.
However, escripts do have their drawbacks. They are slower to start, rely on the old Erlang io server, making rebar3 shell not act exactly the same as an erl shell, and it can lead to repos storing the escript along with the code but never upgrading it.
So in rebar3 we've introduced the ability to extract the escript archive along with a run script to ~/.cache/rebar3/, plus a command that will fetch and do the same for the latest escript release of rebar3 from s3.
Follow the instructions for adding the rebar3 bin directory to your $PATH, and optionally add it to your shell's configuration, such as ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.
We hope this new method for installing, upgrading and running rebar3 will allow people to be comfortable with not bundling rebar3 in their project's repositories, resolve any compilation speed differences between rebar3 and alternative Erlang build tools and help keep everyone up to date with the latest features and bug fixes.


AN INNOCENT teenager was shot dead at a south London supermarket after being caught up in a drive-by attack.
The 18-year-old was hit in the back by a single bullet after gunmen on mopeds fired at two youths trying to flee into a Costcutter store in Walworth.
The victim was entering the supermarket with his brothers and some friends last night when up to five youths pulled up on the pavement on three mopeds.
Police believe two gunmen opened fire indiscriminately at the two running into the supermarket but hit the teenager instead. He managed to stagger to the back of the shop before collapsing.
Air ambulance paramedics treated him at the scene but he was pronounced dead nearly an hour later.
The teenager is the 22nd to be killed in London this year and the third to be shot.
Detective Superintendent Gary Richardson of the Operation Trident squad, which targets gun crime in the black community, said: "It appears at this stage that the victim has no links to gang activity and that he was an innocent bystander caught up in the line of fire and was not the intended target.
"The victim was walking down Walworth Road with family members. As they entered Costcutters, two black men forced their way into the shop behind them as if they were trying to get away from something. As they did so, shots were fired. Up to five male suspects drove away on three mopeds in the direction of Boyson Road."

Home National Kirby is delighted after England's victory
Kirby is delighted after England's victory
Manuel R. Medina
3:32 pm - June 17, 2019
The Lionesses advanced to the knockout stages after beating Argentina and Scotland in the FIFA Women's World Cup.
The England women's national team continues its successful campaign in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France.
The team started the competition with a 2-1 win over Scotland, and during the weekend they defeated Argentina 1-0.
Now they have qualified to the knockout stages, with one game left in the Group Stage.
"I think it was a really positive performance," Fran Kirby told FIFA after their victory.
"We knew that it was going to be difficult and we knew that they were going to bank up and make it really hard for us."
"We knew we had to stay patient and keep the ball, keep moving it and tire them out," she added.
"The goal was going to come, we were creating chances, and ultimately we knew that one of them would end up in the back of the net."
Quiz: How deep is your knowledge about Kieran Trippier?
Tomás Pavel Ibarra Meda - July 18, 2019
Let's find out how much you know about full-back Kieran Trippier. We will ask you 10 questions about this England player. Have fun and...
She continued saying: "We were just trying to suss them out, we had a chance in the first minute, so that was good and then it's just about trying to work out your opponent, but I felt we were always in control."
"We knew they were going to make it difficult banking up but we just kept moving the ball and then it opened up eventually."
"I'm still learning a lot about it and obviously picking up the ball a bit deeper and trying to create things from a deeper role," Kirby concluded.
ENGLAND = WINNERS

Welcome to Louis de Geer Concert & Congress Hall, beautifully situated in the unique, historical industrial landscape of Norrköping.
The Norrköping Symphony Orchestra is the resident orchestra of the Louis De Geer Concert Hall. The hall is located in the very center of Norrköping right next to the Motala River and in the middle of the unique, historical industrial landscape.
The concert hall is built in an old paper factory originally designed by the creator of Stockholm's Concert House, Ivar Tengbom. In 1994 it was renovated into a first-class concert hall and conference center.
The spacious foyer offers grand views towards the flowing water outside. There is a bistro which is open daily for lunch as well as in connection to all the concerts.
The concert hall itself has 1 300 seats. Since the audience is divided into parquet seating and three balconies, the hall has a very intimate atmosphere with only a very short distance between the orchestra and the audience. The stage also includes an orchestra pit with room for 60 musicians, which opens up possibilities for all sorts of productions.
