Please pray for the salvation of one of my friends named Pushpa. At first she was ready to do ministry in all the churches, but her parents belong to a cult, which preaches that their church is the bride of Jesus and all other churches are harlot. Pray that she will come out of this pit.
Right now there is a situation to make her stay in this cult forever. Please pray that this situation would be broken. And she would become free to attend any church. She has also been taught that there are pure and holy people only inside her church. Please pray that every evil spirit acting against her salvation would be binded in the name of Jesus. Please pray that all the hesitation she has in learning the word of God by herself with the help of Holy Spirit will also be broken.
Please pray that the light of Holy Spirit will shine on her darkness and reveal everything to her.

What is Integrated Circuit: Types, Uses, & Applications of Integrated Circuit?
We have observed in the past that technology has changed continuously and been able to squeeze itself into a smaller sized and concise structure. Let's take a good example of the key computers that have been made were the size of a warehouse of 1000 laptops which we use today. Take into consideration how it has occurred possible? The reply to it is integrated circuits.
The circuits which were made previously were very large and hulking, which consists of circuit components like resistor, transistor, diodes, capacitor, inductor, etc. which are connected alongside copper wires. This factor limited making use of the circuits to big machines. It had been impossible to create small and compact appliances with your big circuits. Moreover, they weren't entirely shockproofed and reliable.
As mentioned, necessity is the mother of most inventions, similarly, the newest technologies each is the consequence of it. There was clearly a requirement to build up circuits of smaller size with additional power and safety to feature them into devices. Then were three American scientists who invented transistors which simplified what to quite a level, nonetheless it was the creation of integrated circuits that changed the face of electronics technology.
Precisely what is Integrated Circuit?
An internal circuit (IC), it sometimes might be referred to as a chip or a microchip is a compilation of transistors which can be positioned on silicon. A circuit is too small in proportions, when it is in comparison to the standard circuits that happen to be made of the independent circuit components, it's about how big is a fingernail. IC can be a semiconductor wafer (otherwise known as a skinny slice of semiconductor, such as crystalline silicon) where thousands or countless tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated.
Modern electronic circuits aren't comprised of individual, means they can't be made up of separated components as once was the case. Instead, many small circuits take hold within a complex bit of silicon and also other materials called an internal circuit(IC), or chip or microchip. The output of integrated circuits commences with a straightforward circular wafer of silicon several inches across.
Firstly designers made drawings of in which each element in each part of the circuit is to go so that the processing would become easy. A picture of each one diagram will then be reduced in size repeatedly to deliver a tiny photolithographic mask.
The silicon wafer is coated having a material known as a photoresist that undergoes a chemical process when confronted with ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light shown from the mask onto the photoresist creates comparable pattern for the wafer as comparable to that mask. Then solvents etch to the areas of the resist which were encountered with the light, leaving one other parts intact. Then another layer of a silicon material doped by incorporating impurities so that it's set into the wafer, and yet another pattern is etched in by a similar technique.
The result of these operations can be a multilayered circuit, with many countless tiny transistors, resistors, and conductors created inside the wafer. The wafer might be broken apart along prestressed lines into many identical square or rectangular chips, that's no more integrated circuits.

Miracles of the Chief-commander of the Bodiless Host, the Archangel Michael, in Roman Times
In the period after the New Testament, there are also accounts of the Archangel Michael's cures and wonders. Therefore, on this day, we call upon him as the protector of our lives, and celebrate his honored feast with the remembrance of some of his marvels.
The Church of the Archangel Michael in Sosthenion
When Emperor Constantine the Great (r. 306-337) was building Constantinople, it came to pass that he constructed a church dedicated to the Archangel Michael in the surrounding suburb, known as Sosthenion. The account of how this church came to be built is curious indeed. In the outlying suburb, there was a statue of a man with wings. The great Constantine marvelled at the work and wondered what it could mean. He asked his nobles, but no one knew to whom it was dedicated. He then besought God, "Reveal to me after whom the statue was fashioned." At night, the Archangel Michael appeared to him and said, "I am the Archangel Michael, the helper of the Christians, even as I have assisted thee in thy victories over thine enemies. For this cause, do thou build a church in my name, and I shall preserve thee from all thine enemies until the end of thy life." When the emperor awoke, he immediately set about fulfilling the command of the archangel. The church he erected was huge, for which he apportioned considerable revenues. On the feast day of the archangel, Christians from the suburbs were assembling at the new church from the outlying areas. One of the faithful had a child who was deaf and dumb from his mother's womb. The father brought the lad into the church and besought the archangel to heal him. After much supplicating, the archangel hearkened to the prayer of that poor father. During the Divine Liturgy, the child was brought before the icon of the Chief-commander Michael. When the deacon was about to say, "Let us attend," followed by the priest, "The Holies for the holy," the child, instead, spoke up and said, "Let us attend." From that hour, he was healed. The father returned every year to commemorate and thank the commander of the bodiless host.
The Deliverance of Constantinople from the Perils of the Avars, Persians, and Arabs
The Avars, mounted warriors, came to capture Constantinople. They used their swords, long lances, and reflex bows that they might gain the advantage. The hierarch at that time gathered the faithful of the city, and they went to the Church of the Chief-commander Michael, where they entreated God to be delivered from captivity to the barbarians. Then, when the Avars were about to enter the city, the Archangel Michael, as a flash of lightning, appeared in their midst. Out of their intense fear, many of the Avars fell prostrate on their faces, while others took to their heels and retreated. That same night, the archangel appeared to the khan of the Avars and said, "Leave quickly with all thy host, otherwise tomorrow thou shalt die and thy soldiers with thee." The khan, terrified, that same night, departed with his entire army and returned to his own place.
At another time, the Persian armies assembled and besieged Constantinople. They encamped outside the walls and prevented food and supplies from being brought into the city. The populace was in danger of dying from starvation. Having their hopes only in God, they also brought to mind the previous miracle performed by the Archangel Michael. The people went to his church and supplicated him that he might work a miracle as before. Then on the day that the Persians decided to enter the city, as they laid their ladders against the walls, the Archangel Michael appeared to the invaders. Once again, he appeared as lightning, throwing the Persians into a panic. In the commotion created by this visitation, the Persians, in their confusion, began fighting with one another, thinking they were battling the citizens of the city. The Constantinopolitans, beholding the confounded Persians, exited the city, slaying as many as they were able.
At another time, by sea, a multitude of Arab Muslims attacked the city, the strongest citadel in the world. This occurred during the reign of Emperor Constantine IV (669-685) grandson of Herakleios. The Arabs had already ravaged the countryside in Asia Minor, dragging off inhabitants to slavery. They already held Cyprus, Rhodes, and Kos. The peninsula of Kyzikos was also seized, which was in the neighborhood of the capital, thus providing the Muslims with a base for attack. News was then heard that part of the Arab fleet had captured Smyrna and other sections. The Arabs tried again and again to take the city. Once more, the faithful flocked to the Church of the Chief-commander Michael, imploring God and His archangel for help. The archangel hearkened to their cries. He pierced and bore through the Arab ships, causing most of the marauders to die of drowning. After a five-year siege, only three ships out of the entire fleet remained, and they turned and sailed back home in 678.
The Preservation of the City of Akolia
On the Black Sea, the city of Akolia was under attack by the Saracens. They tarried long with their forces outside the city. Not being able to take the city, they decided to depart. There was, however, a certain traitor inside the city who informed against the Christians to the Saracen chief, saying, "The Christians have a church dedicated to the Chief-commander Michael. It lies by the citadel wall. It is there that they supplicate God for His help, and for this reason you cannot launch an attack." The Saracens, receiving this piece of intelligence, set about making war machines to breach the citadel wall. After they had prepared their ropes, rolling battering rams, and catapults, they readied one large boulder to thrust against the narrow church. As soon as it was catapulted, the faces of the emir and his officers, who were responsible for flinging that boulder, turned backwards. Those wretched men wasted no time loading down the camels with plenty of incense, lamps, and oil. They also took silver from the bridles of their horses and went together to the Church of the Archangel Michael. They swore among themselves that they would never come again to Akolia for many years, and that the city would come to no harm. After they had sworn this vow, their faces returned to their proper places.
The Archangel Michael at Colossae and Germia
The Archangel Michael is remembered also for the miracle he performed at Chonae, near Colossae in Phrygia. He parched the waters of the river which the infidels released against his holy shrine and Saint Hermippos. The archangel's large basilica in Chonae, decorated with mosaics, was a center of pilgrimage and great trade fairs.
Now also in Germia, a city in western Galatia, below Mount Dindymon, the Archangel Michael wrought numberless cures. In 454, the consuI of Constantinople, one Stoudios, was sick and near death. No physician could offer him a cure or any treatment. At that time, a certain man, named Goulio, who was from Germia, came to the capital. He visited the sick consul and began recounting how many miracles were taking place in Germio at the archangel's healing spring. Even the little fish, with the aid of the Archangel Michael, were effecting cures. As Stoudios listened to the accounts, he believed that God would help him.
In the company of other ill folk, Stoudios traveled to Germia. Straghtway, as he entered that holy spring, he was cured. Not only Stoudios received healing, but also his entire traveling party. One of the members was suffering from glaucoma, and he too received a swift cure for his eyes. Studios, beholding the number of miracles taking place, then resolved to most of his fortune building a great church to the archangel.
The five-aisled basilica of ashlar masonry with much sculptured decoration still survives in Galatia. He endowed the church also with revenues for its maintenance. The consul also built homes for the sick and aged. All the while, sick people kept flocking to the site of the archangel's healing waters. Having come with faith, they were leaving healed, including many blind folk who recovered their sight, and the lame who were enabled to walk.
The Cure of the Monk Markianos and the Physician
At the time of the restoration of the icons, during the reigns of Empress Theodora (842-856) and her son Emperor Michael III (842-867), there was a certain monk, named Markianos, who was living at the Monastery of the Archangel Michael inside Constantinople. Whenever Father Markianos became ill, he did not take refuge in physicians and medicines. His only recourse was to fall before the icon of the Archangel Michael, who always cured him of whatever ailed him. It happened one time that the monk became gravely ill. According to his custom, he hastened to the icon of the Archangel Michael seeking help. This time, however, the archangel wished to test him, and did not render a cure. The relatives and friends of Markianos came and reproved him for not seeking medical treatment, but he would not listen to their counsel. Unbeknownst to Markianos, they contrived among themselves that they would seek out a physician on his behalf. They found one and learned from him the proper course of treatment and received medicines appropriate to Markianos' condition. They were to administer them while Markianos was asleep. They, therefore, took the drugs and hid them in his head cushion, and waited until sleep should overtake him.
That night, instead of Father Markianos finding rest, those waiting to administer the drugs fell asleep. Father Markianos, not being able to sleep, remained wide awake. It then appeared to him that he saw the Archangel Michael exiting the holy sanctuary of the church, being escorted by two beautiftil and wondrous youths. He walked over to Father Markianos, as he lay on his pillow. Seeing the drugs, he said to the monk, "What are these?" The monk answered, "I do not know, 0 archangel." The chief-commander then said to the youths, "Take these medicines and put them under the pillow of the physician who concocted them." Markianos then observed the youths walking out of the church. The archangel then took oil from the oil lamp before his icon. He proceeded to anoint Father Markianos, who was instantly cured. Father Markianos, sensible of the healing, kept giving thanks to God.
At midnight, the priest went to the church that he might chant the Orthros Service. He found Markianos healthy and restored as before. That same morning, the priest was called to the house of the physician, who had become gravely ill during the night. The priest then recounted all that he had heard from Markianos. The physician, therefore, came to understand the cause of his sudden illness. He rose up, being supported by others, and went to the Church of the Archangel Michael. He remained there all day, lying before the icon. By evening, he was cured, but he did not return to his house or profession. He decided to remain at that church and become a monk, bequeathing all he had to that church.
This and many other miracles were wrought by the commander of the bodiless host, Michael.
Through the intercessions of Thine Archangels and all of the Celestial Host, O Christ God, have mercy on us. Amen.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
O Commanders of the Heavenly Host, we the unworthy beseech you, that through your entreaties you will fortify us, guarding us in the shelter of the wings of your ethereal glory, even as we fervently bow before you crying: "Deliver us from all danger, as Commanders of the Powers on high! "
Chief Commanders of God; ministers of divine glory; guides for men and leadership of the Incorporeal; as Chief Commanders of the Incorporeal, plead for our welfare and for great mercy.

Q: Why can't we use this method to achieve extreme speeds? Turn an axle with diameter 1 inch at 1 mile per hour, and an attached wheel with diameter 5 inches will spin at 5 miles per hour.
Why can't we apply this principle on a much bigger scale? Say you put an axle 1 foot in diameter at the peak of a mountain, and attached a cable to it 1 mile long (with another cable for counterweight), and then spun the axle 1000 miles per hour. The cable could have a satellite attached to it set to launch when top speed is reached.
That's already about 5,000,000 miles per hour (1 mile/1 foot =~ 5000, times 1000mph). It would take a lot of energy and very gradual acceleration, but I'm sure it's possible to get a 1-foot axle to spin at 1000 mph. Why doesn't this work in practice?

A: This is done with gear works all the time - from watches to large scale machinery; as the comments have already pointed out, maximum speed is limited by the materials used and the torque available.
The total energy remains unchanged, minus losses, so a complete analysis is required to see what you gain vs what you lose.
This site discusses gear reduction, but illustrates the issues: http://www.teamdavinci.com/understanding_gear_reduction.htm

A: 1 mile long rigid wire! Can you imagine the material which moves rigidly if you move its one end with such length. calculate the young and shear modulus of the material. Consider this with such length and with normal material (Young's/Shear modulus in the possible range) and with your speed it will not move the pipe/wire/rod (with 1 mile length) from other side but produce waves only.

TV star, Victoria Jackson formerly of "Saturday Night Live" flew in from CA to participate in our Nashville rally. Victoria performed at a few of our west coast rallies. The audiences love Victoria's outspoken honesty, humor and funny songs.
Written in response to Obamacare, they particularly enjoyed her latest hilarious song, "I Hope I Don't Get Sick" which Victoria wrote while we were traveling on the Tea Party Express bus.
Through chatting with Victoria on the bus, I learned she is a Christian woman of great character who stands on principles. It is not easy to be a conservative in Hollywood. Acting jobs are not easy to come by. Victoria was asked to audition for a movie role which went against her values. Victoria said, "no". Awesome!
Fox News contributor, Angela McGlowan's powerful speech touting conservative principles fired up the audience at our Tupelo, MS rally. Angela is making history as the first black republican woman to run for congress in Mississippi.

I totally agree with the comments below about the poor service I received regarding the receptionist at this dental practice. I called for an emergency appointment but was advised they could not see me for over 2 months as I was not in pain (I just wondered if the receptionist had a medical qualification to ascertain if this was or was not and emergency). The receptionist however said if I was to go on line I could find another dentist to carry out my emergency procedure. The receptionist also started quoting NHS policy's but could not back this up with facts as a copy was not available except in the training manual (but I was not aloud to view this or obtain a copy). I think this dental practice would get better reviews if the receptionists were trained in basic customer service.
We thank you for your visit to Winnersh Dental Practice and sincerely apologise for the poor service you felt you had received. NHS guidelines influence our practice protocol. Emergency appointments are limited and released on a daily basis. It is of utmost importance that all our patients receive an exceptional service at all times. Your feedback enables us to identify which areas can be improved. Further development plans have implemented to ensure all staff are aware and up to date with practice protocols.


Imagine your have a .NET Core class library fully commented with XMLDoc and you want to publish the documentation for your library on the web. Here is where Aistant service (with a special Aistdoc console utility) comes to help.
The first, obvious step, is a registering a new account on Aistant (if you don't have it yet). Choose "Empty" option when it asks about your new Knowledge Base's default content.
After the registration please open Users page in Aistant Console and set the password for the special service account (YourTeamID-clientapp@aistant.com) which was created automatically for your team. Save the password somewhere. It will be used to setup the credentials to your Aistant account in the configuration file for AistDoc (see below).
Aistdoc utility scans your library assemblies and XML documentation files, generates articles (one article for each class, interface or enum) and uploads them to your knowledge base on Aistant.
NB: Before installing Aistdoc you will need .NET Core SDK (version 2.1 or higher) be installed on your computer. Since we are talking about the publishing of documentation for a .NET library here - we guess you already have one.
Make sure you turned on "XML documentation file" option in all projects for which you plan to publish the documentation.
Build all projects in your library.
Place all assemblies (DLL files) and XML documentation files to one folder.
Applicaiton will create mylib.json config file in the current folder.
The config file has 2 main sections: aistant and source.
The first one contains the credentials to your Aistant account, the ID of the knowledge base and the URL to the section where your documentation will be published. The second one includes the path to your assemblies and XML files with the documenation.
"title": "My Library API reference"
The filter from the example above means that AistDoc takes all assemblies started with MyCompany.MyLibrary and will generate the docs for all classes with any namespace within those files.

IM 021: Walking Through Doors to the Biggest Law Firm in the World | Phil White
Phil White's success goes beyond being a partner at the largest law firm in the world. His inspirational story is one from rags to riches, one about a student athlete, one about an incredible transformation from poor student to making straight A's.
Guest Biography
Phil White, who serves as the global co-leader of Dentons' Transportation and Infrastructure practice, is recognized as one of the world's leading authorities on the construction and engineering sector and particularly in construction disputes. His skill was recognized most recently in 2016 when he was designated "Lawyer of the Year in Construction Litigation" by Best Lawyers. He has been listed in Best Lawyers each year since 2006, and was appointed several times to International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration panels in disputes involving hundreds of millions US dollars.
Phil has tried, mediated and settled cases on behalf of clients around the globe through hundreds of days of hearings in many forums, including the ICC, the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration (KLRCA) and courts in the United States. These matters include many trials of cases to award or judgment, with the total amount in dispute now running well into the billions of US dollars. Phil has handled disputes arising from a broad range of projects, from 30 power plants in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa to petroleum facilities in Equatorial Guinea, to rail in New Jersey, to roads, sewers and utilities in Qatar. His approach to disputes is to put the issues in a pragmatic commercial context, while pressing his client's interests tenaciously.
Phil also maintains a broad international disputes practice outside of the construction and engineering sector. He has handled joint venture, licensing and financing disputes in the same forums in which he is known for his construction work.

Why don't we have a standard certification for the PR industry? Isn't it time we change this?
I don't want to offend, but enough is enough. I want to tackle the elephant in the room, the issue that many of us face but few of us have the bravery to talk openly about. We have far too many people in the communications profession who haven't gotten to where they are on merit or who are unsuited for the role.
You know what I'm talking about, the person who got into the job because his or her father is the best friend of the GM. Or the comms manager who has been appointed because global wants to increase their diversity count (despite all of their customers being male). Or the person who is overseeing comms for a specific industry (let's say, social media), and yet doesn't even use the product. Or the employee who has been shunted into communications because the company can't get rid of them. Or the person who has been employed because of their nationality and there's a quota, despite their lack of experience (or ability).
We have to tackle the issue of quality in the profession. Why, one may ask? Simply because they represent all of us. Their actions shape the views of others. As communicators, we often talk about a place at the table. We won't claim that board or management seat, unless we're qualified and able to add value to the organizations that employ us. And, there's the issue of agencies, which I've talked about before.
Who would hire an accountant who isn't chartered? Or a lawyer that hasn't passed their bar exam? And yet, there are many who work in our industry without a single qualification. We need to change this approach to professional qualifications. There are many to choose from, such as the accredited or the chartered status from the CIPR. And there's the CMP examination from the IABC. There's a host of qualifications out there.
As an industry, we need to change the debate from years of experience to competency and skills. To me, it's no longer good enough for organizations to seek out communications professionals with little to no understanding of our profession. There needs to be a concerted effort by our industry, by communications professionals who care about how we are perceived by others, for us to adopt a minimum certification.
Only by making a case for a professional certification, which will act as a symbol of our dedication to continuous study and development and our adherence to ethics and best practices, will we receive the respect and trust that we crave and need to be taken as serious as the profession needs to become a boardroom position.

A: Well the first thing to consider is that the wp_enqueue_scripts action hook fires before the filters on the page/post content are run.
So I would add a function to the wp action hook and test the content for oembeds there.
add_action( 'wp', 'your_oembed_test_function' );
function your_oembed_test_function(){
    //earliest reliable hook to get $post variable
    global $post;

    //do your tests with $post content

    if( $oembed_exists_results ) wp_enqueue_script( $your_handle );

}

Because WP fires before wp_enqueue_scripts you will be able to choose which scripts/styles you want to show based on which oembeds you find in the content.


Going into District 3 you know they're serious about escaping. The lobby is filled with escape puzzles and other swag you can get for your escape-loving friends. Located in a more industrial neighbourhood, there's lots of open space and high ceilings in the lobby. No seating though, or entertainment, so be prepared for a long stand if their schedule starts to slip. They do offer drinks for sale and lockers to use though so you will be well prepared to enter the room.
Entering the room blindfolded, so we don't know the location of this mysterious mansion, already sets the tone for the room. After the intro and the reveal, we are in an elaborate foyer. There is special attention paid to the details of the set design, making you feel in a larger space than you are with the high ceilings that come with this industrial location. The details of the set really set this room apart. The timer is hidden most of the time, but comes out in a clever way as the room goes on. The lighting changes with the time, which adds to the mood. Different doors will trigger different events, making the room interact with you, instead of the usual other way around. There's even audio components; they've thought of everything.
This room unpacks well, with lots of doors, as one would have in a large house. The story line moves along with each door and the puzzles play into the theme. The puzzles are all thematic and incorporate interesting sensory elements, though this room does use a good number of lock boxes. Included inside each lock box is also a little more information to keep you hooked on the story line, so you aren't lost to your main purpose of the room. There is a ton to do in this room. It is a smaller space though, so large groups are going to feel very congested, but smaller groups will be rushing through to get out in time. The puzzles are mostly linear, so this is good for a medium size group where a couple people can be working on the puzzle and the rest can be exploring the space.
And you can't forget the Easter Egg for that little extra goal and the scoring system that District 3 has developed, which add to the excitement of finishing up your time. Seeing where are you are on their leaderboard is a great way to see how you did against your friends and get a good sense of what it takes to get out.

The Fuji X20 is a powerful digicam that gives complete control to the photographer. Its performance and image quality rival that of an entry-level dSLR as does its price tag. Read more in our Full Conclusion.
The Fujifilm X20 is the successor to the X10 released last year. Fully upgraded with the new X-Trans CMOS II image sensor and redesigned optical view finder, the X20 has increased performance and image quality over the X10. The 4x optical zoom lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.0-2.8 and great body styling have been carried over from before. In fact, if not for the model being listed on the camera, you would not be able to tell them apart just from looking at them.
It is hard to find a compact camera with as much shooting versatility as the X20. Featuring the new SR+ Auto mode, there is no reason to worry if you would like to just point shoot. On the other hand, the camera gives you total control over every aspect of the camera. There are also some special shooting modes, thanks to the camera's outstanding performance capabilities, that allow the camera to go above and beyond what a single frame is capable of. Some of these modes include the Motion Panorama, "Pro" shooting modes and multi-exposure mode. The power of the camera also allows it to record full 1080p HD video at 60fps with stereo sound.
The FujiFilm X20 has a suggested retail price of $599.95 USD. To see the most current pricing online, click our Lowest price button at the top right of this page.

An Irish man, who had got familiar with Islam after travelling to Iran, converted to Islam after studying some Islamic sources and main books.
Desmond Bern is an Irish young man who lived in London. After visiting Iran he got interested in Islam and searched for the main printed sources of the religion to know more. During his visit to the Razavi Holy Shrine, he accepted Shia Islam by stating the declaration of faith.
"I hope to learn more about the religion of Shia Islam," said the young Irish man who has picked the Islamic name of Reza for himself. He said that the attractions of Islam were the main motives of him in this move.
"The Iranian-Islamic art is full of spirit and mesmerizes the viewers," said Mr. Bern, who is an engineer and a construction designer.
An official of the holy shrine of Imam Reza said that in the past years the social networks and communications offered by the Internet have made it easy for many "truth seekers" to get familiar with Islam.
Seyyed Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad, the Director for the non-Iranian pilgrims made the remarks during the ceremony.
"The enemies of Islam made huge efforts to depict Islam as a religion of horror and hate but they failed to achieve this goal," said Mr. Hasheminejad referring to the letter of Iranian Leader Ayatollah Khamenei to the youth of Europe and America.

Q: How to purchase more licences for a Microsoft Subscription via the API I am attempting to automatically add a Power BI Pro Licence to Office account in the domain that i manage and i am getting stuck when i Don't have enough Licences to assign another
I can do the 'Assigning' part using https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{id}/assignLicense which works until there aren't any spare licences, where it returns: "Subscription with SKU {id} does not have any available licenses."
To make this a fully automated process, i need to:

*

*Automatically purchase a new Power BI Licence.

*Assign that Licence to a user.

I cannot identity an API endpoint which allows me to do step 1.

A: Microsoft Graph, nor any other Microsoft API, supports purchasing O365 licenses. That is done through their Microsoft rep (if they have one) or through the Admin Portal directly.


The weeks, days and moments before your family of three becomes a family of four are immensely special. All of a sudden you start to see your firstborn in a new light. She isn't your tiny baby anymore, she's growing and changing and about to become this incredible, nurturing, amazing big sister. You compare her giant diapers to the teeny tiny ones that the new baby will wear, and you think "wow, where has the time gone?" You start to imagine the relationship they will have - your two babies - and your heart is overwhelmed.
And then there's your husband, who you also see in a new light. You see the man that you love as the apple of someone else's eye, you watch the way your daughter looks at him and you know he would never, ever let her down. You think about how the two of you have created this most perfect family, and about how it's about to get even bigger, and your overwhelmed heart overflows.


Patrick O'Neill Explains What Goes Into Arizona Business Insurance RatesThese days, clients are inundated with all forms of insurance commercials promising outrageous discounts, or they get a flyer or a phone call promising more of the same, which rarely ever actually comes to fruition. The truth is that rates all across the board have, for the most part, risen anywhere from six to fifteen percent this year, and after about five to six years of a "soft" market, we are starting to see the market turn "hard".
Arizona business insurance rates are based on many factors, and here are some to help you understand how rates are determined. As everyone who has investments can attest to, government bond rates and mortgage rates have hardly ever been as low as they have been for the past few years. It almost seems like you have to pay the banks to take your money instead of the other way around. In years previous to this, when government rates were in the five to seven percent range, insurance companies were able to park a percentage of their premiums in these bonds to offset the claims they were paying out, which, in turn, helped keep rates low.
Now with government bonds yielding barely one percent, they no longer have that cushion to help with insurance claims. As I always tell my clients, insurance is a shared risk, even if your record is spotless, you share space in the insurance world with those do have claims, and many times those claims are just unfortunate accidents. Let me give you an example. Recently, one of my clients turned in a fairly large-sized claim. Just a few months before that, he was commenting on his renewing insurance costs and how he had never had a claim, and he couldn't understand how his insurance premium increased about five percent over the previous year. As sometimes client do when they receive an increase in premium, they want to maybe lower their limits, alter or delete coverage, or hike up their deductible because they are convinced that they will never use their insurance coverage. After sitting down with him, we reviewed his coverages in detail, the carrier, and the costs, and he agreed to renew for another year, but he was still hoping that maybe next year, he would see some relief. Well, as luck would have it, about 3 months after his renewal, his crew had an accident. They had tightened a cap a little too tight, and over the weekend, it had burst and flooded the bathroom above the kitchen in his client's home. By the time it was discovered, the damage was quite extensive. The final claim was in excess of $90,000. Who can predict what the outcome would have been had he altered his coverage. Needless to say, he was thrilled that he didn't.
Another area that clients tend to overlook is all the natural disasters that have happened over the past few years. Remember the utter destruction that happened to the Jersey Shore and surrounding areas? Insurers are still paying claims in that disaster and the final tally could see anywhere from $5 billion plus being paid out. Also, other recent disasters were the tornadoes in Oklahoma, which hit the same area only weeks apart, and for which claims are still being filed, and, according to a recent article, those claims will easily exceed $3 billion. Now, these are just a few of the natural disasters that have happened across the country during the past couple of years, and there have been many more disasters which resulted in large sums being paid out by the carriers for claims. As I have stated earlier, there are many factors that go into current insurance rates. We have only touched on a few, and some other factors carriers take into consideration include the type of work you perform and risks associated with that work, where you conduct business, years of experience in your field, and your previous insurance history.
We invite you to contact us and discuss your options whether you are looking at reviewing and replacing your current coverage or you are starting a new business. We have many options and coverages to help you design your insurance program.


A lot of working mothers have trouble pumping or expressing as much as their baby is eating during the day. Occasionally this is a problem of truly insufficient supply, but more often the problem can be remedied with more efficient pumping, smart scheduling, avoiding supply busters, talking things over with your childcare provider, and using your freezer stash wisely! Even if your milk supply has decreased over the weeks or months you have been working, it can always be rebuilt. You really can provide as much breastmilk as you want to for your baby!
But first - why do you think you have a supply problem? If it's because your baby is consistently drinking more milk than you can pump - this is the page for you. However, if it's because your doctor is concerned that your baby is not gaining enough weight, you should read the information on the growth curves page first. There may not be a problem.

This quasi-experimental study investigates the impact of prolonged exposure treatment on cognitive changes in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Seventy-seven PTSD patients with mixed traumas went through 8 to 12 sessions of imaginal exposure and exposure in vivo without any cognitive interventions. Reexperiencing symptoms and the most important cognition (i.e., its frequency and credibility) were assessed weekly. Exposure treatment resulted in significant reductions of negative trauma-related cognitions, although these were not paid attention to during treatment. Reductions in cognitions were associated with reductions in PTSD symptoms. Pre to post-treatment reductions in cognitions did not predict PTSD at follow up after controlling for pre to post-treatment reductions in PTSD symptoms. Finally, reductions in the frequency of reexperiences and trauma-related cognitions were preceded by reductions in the distress caused by the reexperiences. The credibility of trauma-related cognitions was the last variable to decline. Distress caused by the reexperiences being the first symptom to decline may mean that reductions of negative trauma-related cognitions are the result of PTSD symptom reductions. This complicated relationship between cognitions and symptom change surely merits further exploration.

Some years later, the emperor himself offered to disprove by the same means a similar accusation brought against him by a certain Reginger, of endeavoring to assassinate his rival, Rodolph of Suabia. And thus the beauty of each species, though in one sense the rarest of all things, because few individuals hit this middle form exactly, yet in another, is the most common, because all the deviations from it resemble it more than they resemble one another. It is true that Dr. Here, again, I think, a better scientific theory bears out the result of one's individual self-examination. If we could really believe, however, of any man, that, was it not from a regard to his family and friends, he would not take that proper care of his health, his life, or his fortune, to which self-preservation alone ought to be sufficient to prompt him, it would undoubtedly be a failing, though one of those amiable failings which render a person rather the object of pity than of contempt or hatred. 15.—Like a passionate and proud man in a constant 161 state of inebriation Observation 8th.—A striking instance of the correspondence 162 between cause and effect Case No. The statistician knows that the way to eliminate chance is to multiply instances. We may then infer that, when some of the reiterated babble-like sounds were produced during states of pleasurable satisfaction, the same (primary) position would be taken up. {113} Our uncertainty concerning our own merit, and our anxiety to think favourably of it, should together naturally enough make us desirous to know the opinion of other people concerning it; to be more than ordinarily elevated when that opinion is favourable, and to be more than ordinarily mortified when it is otherwise: but they should not make us desirous either of obtaining the favourable, or of avoiding the unfavourable opinion, by intrigue and cabal. Stanley Hall remarks that a dog will retract the corners of his mouth and thus go some way towards smiling if tickled over the ribs.[113] Dr. Yet how can he shirk it? It should be loved for its broad minded humanity, for its sympathy with mankind, especially with little children, for its readiness to "rejoice with those that do rejoice and weep with those that weep," for its quick response to the personal and spiritual needs of every reader, and above all for its firm hold on the realities of life and its appreciation of life as something that is lived on the farm, in the city street, in the office, the school and the club, not in the clouds, not cheap letter ghostwriters website for school in fog and mist, not with the improbable or the impossible. {23} In the case of such a sudden transfer, the eastern coast of America being carried round in an opposite direction, might strike against a large body of water with tremendous violence, and a considerable part of the continent might be submerged.

But it is only when the eye for the sparkling of fun in things has been instructed by humorous reflection that the alleviating service of mind-play is fully realised. This control by an ?sthetic principle or standard is more {86} clearly indicated in the use of "comic," a word, by the way, which is used more freely in some European languages than in our own. The fact, noted above, {185} that children only laugh in response to tickling when they are in a pleasurable state of mind seems to confirm the hypothesis that the love of fun, which is at the bottom of tickling and makes it perhaps the earliest clear instance of mirthful play with its element of make-believe, first emerged gradually out of a more general feeling of gladness. And the same thing might occur in laughing at the father topped with the small child's hat; for the laugher, who would in this case more probably be a child, might naturally enough reinstate in imaginative thought the small child's head to which the cap belongs.

Then again, why should he of all other things be always singing "Rosy Ann," and "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled," till one is sick of hearing them? {82} CHAPTER IV. He is impatient or even resentful of rules intended to maintain equality of service. This throwing of a fierce attack, whether political or moral, into the form of an allegory, though it seems to veil the direction of the assault, really gives it more point. To explain them, there is but one sure course, and that is, by a close analysis of the Maya language to get at the relations of ideas in the native mind as expressed in their own phonetic system. You ought, however, to abstain from whatever belongs to me, because by doing otherwise you will provoke the resentment and indignation of mankind. The orbit of the Moon is not precisely in the same Plane with that of the Earth; but makes a very small angle with it. In Bearn the laws of the thirteenth century provide that in cases of debt under forty sous, where there was no testimony on either side, the claimant could substantiate his case by bringing forward one conjurator, while the defendant could rebut it with two.[272] A similar rule obtained in England in all actions arising from contracts and sales;[273] and in the laws of Soest in Westphalia, compiled at the end of the eleventh or the commencement of the twelfth century, an accusation of homicide could be proved by six conjurators swearing with the prosecutor, while if this failed the accused could then clear himself with eleven compurgators.[274] Throughout Germany, in the thirteenth century, we find the principle of accusing conjurators generally received, as is evident from the _juramentum supermortuum_ already referred to, and other provisions of the municipal law.[275] So thoroughly, indeed, was this established that, in some places, in prosecutions for highway robbery, arson, and other crimes, the accuser had a right to require every individual in court, from the judge to the spectator, to help him with an oath or to swear that he knew nothing of the matter, and even the attorney for the defendant was obliged to undergo the ceremony.[276] In Sweden it was likewise in use under the name of _jeff niteed_;[277] and in the compilation of the laws by Andreas, Archbishop of Lunden, in the thirteenth century, there is a curious provision for cases of secret murder by which the accuser could force nine men successively to undergo the hot-iron ordeal, after which, if thus far unsuccessful, he could still force a tenth man to trial on cheap letter ghostwriters website for school producing twelve conjurators to swear to the guilt of the accused—these conjurators, in case of acquittal, being each liable to a fine of three marks to the accused and as much to the church.[278] In Norway and Iceland, in certain cases of imputed crime, the accuser was bound to produce ten companions, of whom eight appeared simply as supporters, while two swore that they had heard the offence spoken of, but that they knew nothing about it of their own knowledge—the amount of weight attached to which asseveration is shown by the fact that the accused required only two conjurators to clear himself.[279] Perhaps the most careful valuation of the oath of a plaintiff is to be found in the Coutumier of Bordeaux, which provides that, in civil cases not exceeding four sols in amount, the claimant should substantiate his case by an oath on the Gospels in the Mayor's Court; when from four to twenty sols were at stake, he was sworn on the altar of St. The King then ordered his judges if possible to find some just way for its prevention, but they apparently could do nothing save procrastinate the matter for years, for in 1641 Lilburn petitioned the Long Parliament, setting forth that he had repeatedly claimed his right of battle and had produced his champion, but was ever put off by the judges finding some error in the record. You see, I put a piece of cork at the bottom, then I wound some fine worsted yarn round it, then I had to bind it round with some packthread, and then sew the case on. of North Walsham, and on the verge of the German Ocean.

One of the most remarkable inundations recorded in history, occurred in the reign of Henry I., which overwhelmed the estates of the Earl Godwin, and formed the bank now called the Goodwin Sands. Originally, however, we approve of another man's judgment, not as something useful, but as right, as accurate, as agreeable to truth and reality: and it is evident we attribute those qualities to it for no other reason but because we find that it agrees with our own. As the despised Greenlanders may teach us, laughter supplies a mode of punishment which combines with effectiveness, economy and humanity, a good deal of enjoyment for the onlookers. A. That is well; the Taensas have neither the slupe tree nor the ebony, but they have the wax tree and the vine: has the land of the wild rice these also? It seems probable that the first successful experiments in crawling, climbing and the rest may give rise to new complexes of muscular and other sensations which come as a joyful surprise. When an event is conditioned entirely by chance we say that it came about by "luck", though the unconsidered causes are there just the same. The treatment of this case Case No. Senan, the founder of the monastery of Inniscattery, at the mouth of the river Shannon, which was supposed to have peculiar virtue in revealing culprits. Indeed, Dr. But the opposition of the _padres_ to this kind of literature, the decay of ancient sympathies, and especially the long war of races, which since 1847 has desolated so much of the peninsula, have destroyed most of them. Besides, there is also in all probability the practical consideration urged by Voltaire's traveller, who being asked 'which he preferred—black mutton or white?' replied, 'Either, provided it was tender.' The greater rankness in the flesh is however accompanied by a corresponding irritability of surface, a tenaciousness, a pruriency, a soreness to attack, and not that fine, round, pampered passiveness to impressions which cuts up into handsome joints and entire pieces without any fidgetty process, and with an obvious view to solid, wholesome nourishment. They do possess in some instances a general physiognomical similarity, and this is all; and this is not worth much, as against the dissimilarities mentioned. Quetzalcoatl refused to make the sacrifices of human beings as required by Huitzilopochtli, and the latter, with Tezcatlipoca, set about the destruction of Tula and its people. The hold which it continued to enjoy on the popular confidence is well illustrated by the oath which, according to the Romancero, was exacted of Alfonso VI. Though we have read or seen represented more than five hundred tragedies, we shall seldom feel so entire an abatement of our sensibility to the objects which they represent to us. Those three systems, that which places virtue in propriety, that which places it in prudence, and that which makes it consist in benevolence, are the principal accounts which have been given of the nature of virtue. There is neither. I have in mind a farmer in the Virginia mountains, dwelling in a lovely region, but among a rural population without the slightest appreciation of the beauties of nature. If any ancient "philosophical" poetry retains its value, a value which we fail to find in modern poetry of the same type, we investigate on the assumption that we shall find some difference to which the mere difference of date is irrelevant. And that I may add weight to my appeal, I close by quoting the words of one of America's most distinguished scientists, Professor William Dwight Whitney, of Yale College, who writes to this effect: "The study of American languages is cheap letter ghostwriters website for school the most fruitful cheap letter ghostwriters website for school and the most important branch of American Arch?ology." WILHELM VON HUMBOLDT'S RESEARCHES IN AMERICAN LANGUAGES.[266] _Contents._—What led Humboldt toward the American tongues—Progress of his studies—Fundamental doctrine of his philosophy of language—His theory of the evolution of languages—Opinion on American languages—His criterion of the relative perfection of languages—Not abundance of forms—Nor verbal richness—American tongues not degenerations—Humboldt's classification of languages—Psychological origin of Incorporation in language—Its shortcomings—In simple sentences—In compound sentences—Absence of true formal elements—The nature of the American verb. The late Mr. It is only the weakest and most superficial of mankind who can be much delighted with that praise which they themselves know to be altogether unmerited. Impossible! There was merely impish playfulness in the act of snatching off her grandmother's spectacles and even her cap, with full accompaniment of laughter, in the twenty-second month when lifted to say good-night. Can any reason, for example, be assigned why the Doric capital should be appropriated to a pillar, whose height is equal to eight diameters; the Ionic volute to one of nine; and the Corinthian foliage to one of ten? This can only be known in the first instance by a consciousness of what passes in our own minds. Kean stamped himself the first night in Shylock; he never did any better. This gives somewhat less than three times the height. Temperance, in short, was, according to the Epicureans, nothing but prudence with regard to pleasure. It may suffice to remind the reader of such characteristic changes as the drawing back and slight lifting of the comers of the mouth, the raising of the upper lip, which partially uncovers the teeth, and the curving of the furrows betwixt the comers of the mouth and the nostrils (the naso-labial furrows) which these movements involve. Thus, even the messenger of bad news is disagreeable to us, and, on the contrary, we feel a sort of gratitude for the man who brings us good tidings. The reading done through the library is trivial and inconsequential. SECOND FUTURE. 12. Success covers from his eyes, not only the great imprudence, but frequently the great injustice of their enterprises; and far from blaming this defective part of their character, he often views it with the most enthusiastic admiration. l. The embryo mind is entirely receptive; any violent psychic disturbance in the mother must react upon the child. The first smiles are a step away from the exceeding gravity of baby-hood towards full hilarity, the last are a step back from this hilarity to the stolid composure of senile infancy. First let us take the age-old universal grievance, the unequal distribution of wealth, which from our present standpoint we may simplify by saying that one man has two dollars where he needs only one and another has no dollars at all–omission in his case where there is duplication in the other. Hear him but reason in divinity, And, all-admiring, with an inward wish You would desire that he were made a prelate. That crime immediately affecting the being of the government itself, the government is naturally more jealous of it than of any other. The French critic observes that M. A trophy of the same kind, composed of the instruments of surgery, of dissecting and amputation-knives, of saws for cutting the bones, of trepanning instruments, &c., would be absurd and shocking. {114} That each of these may of itself thus start the currents of laughter will, I believe, be admitted by those who are familiar with the field of human mirth.

Real estate investment trusts are growing in popularity around the world, as investors seek new ways to access an increasingly institutional market. REITs are listed as private funds which are tax-transparent, so investors are only taxed on their dividends.
This puts them on a level playing field with those who hold real estate directly. The Trusts are required to distribute the majority of taxable net income to shareholders and must adhere to certain restrictions on its operations, organisation and ownership.
The security of an institutional regime, low barriers to entry and more liquidity than direct property investment, offer an attractive option for investors. In Russia for example, REITs are attracting high levels of interest as the property market recovers, following a slump in 2014-2016.
Collective investment including REITs schemes have become more popular in Russia as macroeconomic conditions have improved, says Olesya Dzuba, Head of Research, Russia & CIS, at JLL.
The market has seen rising interest from overseas investors and more equity deals in 2017 after two years of debt restructuring, according to JLL.

I am fortunate to visit Shanghai regularly as part of supporting the China Leaders for Global Operations program, the sister program of MIT LGO. Shanghai is an almost cartoonishly ultramodern megacity, particularly in the Pudong area across the river from the old downtown. Basically rice paddies and a few warehouses in the 80s, Pudong is now home to the world's second-tallest skyscraper and dozens of other buildings that would dwarf everything else in Boston or most places. Check out this amazing timelapse of Pudong from 1987 to 2013 and my photo below of the glowering Shanghai Tower, capped out at 2073 feet and almost ready to be crowned with the Great Eye of Sauron to become fully operational.
The amazing displays of state and personal wealth you see in Shanghai's central business district are all the more striking because they both contrast with traditional images Westerners may have of Communist rule, and are also fully representative of / controlled by the Communist leadership of the country. One evening my colleague and I had dinner in a mall where every last store was a global elite luxury brand. We were seated in the restaurant between a guy wearing Prada and a woman wearing Burberry, while I (ahem) was rockin' a Costco dress shirt…non-iron! Yet even amidst these outward signs of super-luxe, you do still see people on utility trikes collecting scrap metal, and our Chinese colleagues talked about how hard it was to make ends meet living in Shanghai.
Me at a delightful Buddhist restaurant with a vegetarian lunch box. Good thing it is so big b/c I'm bad at sharing.
In looking at these and other contrasts in China, I find a helpful guide to be the work of writer James Fallows (whom I got to meet at MIT in 2012). His basic take is that China today is like 'ol Walt Whitman, contradicting itself and containing multitudes. Yes, there are incredible scenes of people honking the horns of their Bentleys to get a scrap-metal bike to move along, and no, it's not clear how the success of bringing so many millions out of poverty (and a good chunk to Prada-wearing riches) will be reconciled with the continued lack of free expression and arbitrariness of state rule. But for all these reasons, along with its sheer scale in the world economy, China is all the more essential for Westerners to deal with and try to understand. I am lucky this program gives me the chance to try and do that.
Just on this trip we discovered a new area in which these contradictions are evolving. You may have heard about the massive anti-corruption drive launched this year by Xi Jinping, trying to throttle back some of the excesses of Party and state-owned company officials taking advantage of their positions to become super wealthy. The latest wrinkle is that officials are now banned from taking executive MBA programs, some of them partnerships of Chinese and Western universities, on the theory that both the officials and others who sign up for the EMBAs are doing to to create illicit networking opportunities. You can ask, aren't all EMBA programs about networking? But even leaving that aside, what is striking for me is that this edict took effect more or less immediately. One dean quoted in the FT says that all officials enrolled in EMBA programs at his school had already withdrawn, with the execs from state-owned companies likely to follow suit. This is just a teeny microcosm of how the Party is trying to evolve policy and maintain the country's acceptance of their rule, but it shows how academic relationship-building and the slow accumulation of trust and good practice are challenged by working within a system in which the ground rules can change very quickly.

NEW YORK, July 22. /TASS/. The Director of the national security Agency (NSA), head of the cyber command of the U.S. armed forces Admiral Michael Rogers believes that now is not the time for the creation of a Russian-American joint group on cybersecurity, but in the future it is possible. He stated this on Saturday during a speech at a security conference in the American aspen (Colorado).

Sands group on cyber security would not affect the credibility of Putin's Trump
Trump does not believe in the establishment of a cyber threat, spoke with Putin
On the question of how it relates to cooperation between Moscow and Washington in this format, the head of the NSA said, "I'm not one of those who determine the political course . It is better to speak with someone else, we don't do that". "But, if we talk about what my thoughts on this, I would say that now may not be the best time to be doing this," he added.
"But, on the other hand, perhaps this is something that can wait to develop it over time, if we see changes in behavior [of Russia]," said Rogers. His statement was broadcast on the website of the conference in aspen.
As stated on 7 July, the Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia Sergey Lavrov, Russia's President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald trump at its first meeting in Hamburg, has devoted considerable attention to issues of cybersecurity. In combat in particular terrorism, organized crime, hackers will set up a joint bilateral working group, he said.
However, trump later wrote in his microblog on Twitter, that does not believe in the possibility of establishing a bilateral group on cyber security.
