No. 387 - The Ellesmere Union Chapel [Scottsdale] - "I see the old Union Chapel has swarmed again"
At Scottdale's Ellesmere cemetery a bronze plaque marks the site of the town's first church, the Union Chapel built in 1863. The Union Church may seen as the 'mother' church of Scottsdale, out its congregation three churches were established: the Methodists, the Presbyterian and the Gospel church, all of which are still present in the town.
In 1853 surveyor James Scott explored the north-east of Tasmania and in 1859 the first land was selected in 'Scott's New Country'. An early settlement was the hamlet of Ellesmere which was established about a mile from the centre of modern Scottsdale. Over a period of two or three decades the population centre of the area shifted from Ellesmere toward 'Tucker's Corner' which was renamed Scottsdale in 1893. Although Ellesmere is on the northern fringe of Scottsdale, it played a central role in the history of the town's churches.
The story of the Union Chapel began in 1863 when Thomas Cox donated an acre of his farm at Ellesmere on which to erect a chapel. The chapel was built with the cooperation of the entire community. The construction of church and particularly its pews is recounted in A.W. Loone's 'History of North-East Tasmania':
"Then the people almost to a man joined together, and like the prophets of Elisha of old, every man took his beam up to the House of the Lord, and the Union Chapel, the first place of worship, was quickly erected. The building being finished, each settler was allowed to construct his own church pew. Many designs were brought into use, from a thick slab some eight to ten inches wide, with four auger holes bored through, and four legs put into the board. As these boards and legs were of green timber, as the timber began to shrink, and the dry weather set in, some times when these church seats were lifted one or more of these loose legs would drop out. But all the seats were not like these. Some of them were rather nice with backs to them, so that the worshippers could sit in comfort during the service. Three of the neatest and most comfortable seats were Tyson's, Loone's and Heazlewood's …".
Soon after the church was built a Sunday school was established. In "Scottsdale Past and Present", published in the North-Eastern Advertiser, the correspondent 'Longfellow' recalled the Union Chapel's Sunday School in some detail:
"The late William Tyson was appointed superintendent, which position he held for many years. The first Sunday school anniversary picnic was held in Mr Joseph Heazlewood's paddock, fronting the main road… The next two years the school picnics were held in the paddock of the late Thomas Cox junr. … There were a good number of the settlers present, and ever after that the Sunday school treats were always looked upon as one day in the year, at least, when settlers from both ends of the scrub (Jetsonville and Springfield) would meet each other and talk over the happiness and hardship of a pioneer's life. This Sunday school was well conducted, and the behaviour of the children was good. Each child was allowed to learn as many verses of Scripture, hymns, and catechism as they could commit to memory, and for each four verses said correctly they were paid a black ticket, on which was printed a verse of Scripture, and for four of these black tickets the child could procure one red or blue ticket and for so many of these the child could buy a handsome Scripture picture card, or a nice book of some kind, …In those days all the provisions required for these great tea-meetings were freely given by the people, and so the whole of the proceeds of the annual gathering went to the purchase of books and the upkeep of the school. There was but one general store in Scottsdale at the time, …and that was owned by Mr T. D. Heazlewood. It was a general rule for that gentleman to give each year all the tea and sugar required for the annual treat…".
The Union Chapel was used by ministers from the Wesleyan Methodist, Presbyterian and Anglican churches. However, the spirit of cooperation began to wain in mid 1870's with the arrival of William Brown and Charles Perrin, two evangelical preachers, representing the Plymouth Brethren. So effective were their sermons that 120 people were baptised over two Sundays in 'Tucker's Creek'. Subsequently a division in the community resulted in a group breaking away from the Union Chapel in 1876 and establishing a Gospel Hall.
A second schism occurred in 1878 when a group supporting the Wesleyan ministers broke away in 1878 to built a Methodist church and parsonage at Ellesmere. Finally, in 1882, the free Presbyterians left the Union Chapel and opened yet another church at Ellesmere. At this time the locals referred to the Union Chapel as "the hive" and following the final breakaway a local wag remarked: "I see the old Union Chapel has swarmed again".
By 1882 the chapel was used as a public school room. There was an aborted attempt to build a new public school at Ellesmere but this was jettisoned due to public opposition and due to the inevitable fact that the there had been a steady movement of people towards 'Tucker's Corner' which had become the centre of Scottsdale. In 1884 a correspondent writing to the Launceston Examiner remarked:
"The contract for the erection of the school house at Ellesmere was annulled; no new tenders have bean called for, and the old dilapidated Union Church, in daily danger of being blown over with a storm, or even of falling down without one, still has to do duty for a school house… Now, were a school house erected at Tucker's Corner; several children could, and would attend, who are too young to walk all the way to Ellesmere".
The opening of a public school at Scottsdale in 1885 brought a sad end to the Union Chapel and it was eventually sold and moved to nearby Jetsonville to become part of a farmhouse.
In the three decades of its sometimes fractious existence, the Ellesmere Union chapel gave rise to three new church communities. Each of these will be covered in future blog entries.

On September 26, the kids had their Johnny Apple Seed day celebration at school. I am sure that they had fun as the homeroom Moms prepared fun activities for them. They also get some treat bags.
To top all the fun, we went to an apple orchard in Oakdale Pennsylvania called Half Crown Hill. One of the engineers of the company where my husband works owns the orchard and he coordinated this event for a cause. The company's employees and family were the only ones who were there at the orchard that day.
The orchard is not that big but there's plenty of apples to pick. I was amazed of how much fruits each tree has. There were different kinds of apples. Some are not ready for picking yet. The prices of apples varieds depending on what kind it is.
You can either buy the apples that are already picked and displayed at the receiving/reception/store area or you can pick your own. The prices of the apples also varies on how big the bag is.
Picking apples reminds me of the aplle tree that we used to have in our backyard. Over the years, the said apple died and we chopped it off. We have never gone apple picking before in an orchard so this was our first time.
The kids were very picky, they search for the biggest they could find lol. It was a good exercise as we went around the whole orchard trying to find the best apples that we could find.
My son has very good eyes in finding the biggest apples in the orchard. We all had fun picking.
I was just in awe of how much fruits are in each tree, it's amazing.
We will definitely do this again in the coming years. We love eating apple as snack so it's a must have in our kitchen.
I will continue our adventures on the next post. Our fun did not end in apple picking, we did some activities as well. I will also post the apple pie that our 9 year old pastry chef baked for us. Thank you for visiting and for leaving your comments.
What fun, celebrating the apple.
I wish I could have joined you on this shadowy outing!
I remember taking my granddaughters to an orchard on lovely fall day. What is fun is the learning that goes on with such jaunts! I can't believe how big your darlings are getting.
Looks like you and your family had a great time! Love the soft orchard shadows.
Looks like you all had a lot of fun. I love apple orchards! My daughter actually gets to go to one tomorrow with her class. I know she'll have a great time.
Looks like you had a lot of fun. We love picking apples and making what my son calls "Momma's famous applesauce!"
Isn't that amazing, apple picking is just wonderful for family to go and spend time together. the bond and togetherness is what we can always close with our family.
I love going to orchards! Although I have to say that I'm a bit jealous because I don't think I've ever seen trees so plentiful.
One of my favorite things is going to fruit orchards! So nice that you got to spend time there with the family and pick some delicious apples.
I have always wanted to go apple picking or for berries as an adult. I have not been to any type of picking event since I was 4 in Sweden!
Wow! Looks like a great place to visit! I'm wondering when can I go and do apple picking? Hmmm..
It looks like you had a ton of fun! We love apple picking. It is definitely one of our favorite fall activities!

Q: Como simplificar um foreach por uma expressão Linq - Lambda Desempenho não é um problema no meu projeto, eu quero saber uma substituição mais simples e legível pro meu foreach usando Linq e Lambda (se possível).
// 'DiscoVirtual' é uma classe
// 'this.HDs' é um 'List<DiscoVirtual>'
// 'Atual' e 'Novo' são instâncias de 'DiscoVirtual'

foreach (DiscoVirtual d in this.HDs)
{
    if (d == Atual)
    {
        this.HDs.Remove(Atual);
        if (Novo != null) this.HDs.Add(Novo);
    }
}

Além do mas, se Novo for null eu só quero que remova Atual (eu complementei o código).

A: Esse código não pode ser convertido directamente para LINQ porque tem um estilo imperativo e não é funcional.
Por outras palavras, LINQ promote um estilo funcional (sem efeitos secundários, transparência referencial, e com dados imutáveis), e esse código viola todas estas 3 regras ao alterar o estado da lista com Add e Remove.
Para empregar um estilo funcional, devemos, a partir da lista actual de HDs, calcular uma nova lista, deixando a original intacta.
Depois, substituimos a lista HDs pela nova lista.
HDs = HDs.Select(hd => hd == Actual? Novo : hd).ToList();

This guide will show you how to set up an Arduino with a Dragino LoRa shield to transmit sensor data, and a Dragino LoRa-enabled gateway to receive and forward sensor data to an IoTool server using the MQTT protocol.
Knowledge of Arduino IDE, C++, and familiarity with radio signals is recommended. Basic knowledge of OpenWrt and the Linux terminal is also required.
Install the board profile for Dragino boards using the Boards Manager.
Download the RadioHead Arduino library from http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/ and extract it to your Arduino IDE libraries location which is usually located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries on Windows.
Install the SparkFun BME280 library using the Manage Libraries menu.
Download the zip file containing the example code that is attached at the bottom of this article, and extract it to a location of your choice.
Power up your Dragino gateway with the included AC or PoE adapter and wait for the system to boot.
If this is the first time the gateway is being used, you will first have to be able to access the web configuration interface.
Take a look at http://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/UserManual/LG01_LoRa_Gateway_User_Manual.pdf to find the best way you wish to connect the gateway to the Internet. The easiest way to start with is just using an Ethernet cable or setting the gateway to connect to your existing WiFi network.
Install the mosquitto-client package to the OpenWrt side. Make sure to update the package lists first. Alternatively, you can do this via SSH by using the commands opkg update and opkg install mosquitto-client.
Copy over the script that receives data from the Arduino side and sends it as MQTT messages to /root/. Modify its permission so it is allowed to be executed. The easiest way is to connect to the gateway using something like WinSCP, browsing to the specified location, and dragging and dropping the file inside. Then right click the file, select Properties, and tick all checkboxes next to X to set the permissions.
Configure the MQTT settings in the OpenWrt web interface.
When the gateway is connected to the same network it should show up in the Arduino IDE.
Open the lora_gateway sketch and upload it. If you are asked for a password, type in "dragino".
Monitor the output with the Serial Monitor. Alternatively you can connect to the gateway via SSH and monitor the output there by using the command telnet localhost 6571.
Connect your BME280 sensor to the Arduino. In this tutorial, we're going with an I2C connection, so follow this connetion scheme: sensor GND pin to Arduino GND port, sensor 3.3V pin to Arduino 3.3V port, sensor SCL pin to Arduino SCL port, sensor SDA pin to Arduino SDA port.
Open the lora_client_bme280 sketch and upload it. If the sensor doesn't seem to be working, try changing the I2C address to 0x77.
Monitor the output with the Serial Monitor. Alternatively you can connect with any application that can read Serial port output, eg. PuTTY by connecting to the Serial port in use using the specified baud rate.
The data should have been uploaded to IoTool Cloud. Login with the user account you already set up in the OpenWrt configuration, open the <your_account>_sensors_hrf table, sort it by date, and check if the readings are present there.
If the readings are there, open the <your_account>_sensors, find the sensors that your Arduino uses, and input the required data so that the readings can be correctly displayed in the IoTool app. You can find more detailed instructions by clicking the Show structure button.
We will suppose that you have IoTool Cloud already configured in the application settings. If not, follow the guide located at https://iotool.io/support/knowledgebase/connecting-to-iotool-cloud-from-your-device.
Update the IoTool Cloud sensor list in the settings.
Set the number of buttons that you want displayed in the dashboard.
Select the measurements that you want shown for each button. Your sensor readings sent over LoRa are located in the IoTool Cloud Sensors category.
Check your readings in IoTool Dashboard.

For The Rabbits · Five Things We Liked This Week – 06/11/20
5. Danika Smith's Mellow New Single
Describing her sound as, "soul-skewed indie folk", Danika Smith has been something of a fixture on the Melbourne-scene for a few years, both as a solo artist and providing backing for other acts. Danika's debut album, described as, "a cathartic journey of complex emotions as a young woman navigating mental health, sexual trauma and the journey of self-empowerment", will arrive early next year. This week Danika has shared the accompanying video to the latest single from the record, Sweet Mellow D.
Discussing the track, Danika has declared it, "a song of recognition of my personal growth". Sweet Mellow D was written on a day where Danika was feeling particularly blissed-out and content, and armed only with a nylon stringed guitar. The result is an expression of gratitude to music, of how it helped her on her journey and remains a guiding light in her life. The recorded version maintains the easy guitar line, accompanying it with a bassy-pulse, and a hypnotic, Indian-folk influenced twang, as Danika's vocal, reminiscent of early Marika Hackman, picks out some frankly gorgeous melodies. The latest act emerging from the vibrant Antipodean music scene, file Danika alongside Julia Jacklin and Nadia Reid as artists putting their part of the world firmly on the musical map.
Sweet Mellow D is out now via Ditto. Click HERE for more information on Danika Smith.
4. James Yorkston's Second Hand Struggle
Sometimes you just have to make music with people you like, and for Scottish songwriter James Yorkston and Karl-Jonas Winqvist, Swedish music producer, leader and conductor of The Second Hand Orchestra, that seems to have been a very good idea. The result of their blossoming friendship is The Wide, Wide River, their first collaborative album, out in January on Domino Recording Company. This week alongside the announcement of the record, they shared the first single from it, Struggle.
James recalls recording the song, sat in the recording room drinking sweet tea, " I just had to wait for the right moment and jump on board, like when I'm pushing my kids round on a roundabout in the local park". Despite its title, the track takes on a certain triumphant quality, a communal blast of struggle delivered through everyone freely singing along. The raft of voices are accompanied by an equally expansive musical backing, as shuffling drums, percussive strings and prominent chiming guitars create a winning slice of orchestral folk. Already this feels like an exciting next chapter for the prolific James Yorkston and a thrilling introduction to The Second Hand Orchestra, it might just be a pairing that brings out the best of all concerned.
The Wide, Wide River is out January 22nd via Domino Recording Company. Click HERE for more information on James Yorkston & The Second Hand Orchestra.
3. It's A Long And Lonely Road To The Rose Hotel
2019 was a big year for the Atalanta, Georgia dream-pop band, Rose Hotel, with the release of their acclaimed debut album, I Will Only Come When It's a Yes. This week the band have released their new, "cassingle", Drive Alone, backed with Constant, released through the Cold Lunch Recordings label.
Described as a rumination on, "young love fading away in the rearview mirror", Drive Alone is a welcome return for the band, a moment of serenity away from the heaviness of politics and pandemics. Accompanied by rolling bass, shimmering layers of guitars, and the lilting swing of the prominent snare drum, front-woman Jordan Reynolds offers stunning harmonies as she sings, "did you really love me or did you just wanna know how it felt to be inside a woman's body and a woman's mind?" This is a wonderful return, a record that feels at once intimate and universal, a much needed aside to remind us that there's still some beauty and old fashioned heartache left in the world.
Drive Alone / Constant is out now via Cold Lunch Recordings. Click HERE for more information on Rose Hotel.
2. Take A Wander With The Sister Wives
Based out of the musical hotbed of Sheffield, Sister Wives are a bi-lingual quartet, formed back in 2018, consisting of members of Nachthexen, Feature, Zealous Doxy and Toucans. The band released their debut EP, Gweler Ein Gofid, translating from Welsh as See My Grief, back in February, and the record will today receive a physical release via Do It Thissen. Ahead of that, the band this week shone some attention in the direction of the record's opening track, Wandering Along / Rwy'n Crwydro.
Having previously supported the likes of The International Teachers of Pop, Crack Cloud and Porridge Radio, Sister Wives' sound is laced with a certain mystical quality, seeming to flow out from the planet below them before emerging as a cacophonous wave of psych-tinged post-punk. On Wandering Along, wavering synths and airy, shimmers of vocals carry the melody as cacophonous bass and the steady drive of the kick-drum, create an infectious rhythmic ear-worm, existing like the middle ground of Gwenno and The Wharves. While it is very early days for Sister Wives, there's plenty here to suggest they're a band we're going to be hearing an awful lot more from in the years ahead.
Gweler Ein Gofid is out today via Do It Thissen. Click HERE for more information on Sister Wives.
1. Ailsa Tully Takes Us For A Drive
Ailsa Tully · Drive
I've never learned to drive, yet hearing the many songs that touch on the freedom and escapism that it can bring, I sometimes wish I had. Along with Rose Hotel's track above, that's definitely the case with Drive, the new single from Ailsa Tully. The latest signing to Dalliance Recordings, home to the likes of Gia Margaret and Common Holly, Ailsa is a Welsh songwriter, equally influenced by her background in a Church Choir as she is by the worlds of folk and electronica that punctuate her spell-binding music.
Ailsa's first single for Dalliance, Drive was a song inspired by a fertile blend of the mundane and the desire for something different, as she explains the track is, "about searching to free yourself from the mundanity of everyday life. It was inspired by a time when my brain was festering in a boring job. I needed an escape". Like much of Ailsa's music, Drive was written initially on the bass-guitar, serving as an omnipresent point of consistency, the core around which her music takes flight. Here the bass is accompanied by a delightfully meandering lead-guitar line, dextrous percussion and Ailsa's multi-layered, melodically dancing harmonies, her voice bringing to mind the likes of This Is The Kit's Kate Stables or Strawberry Runner's Emi Knight. This is the sound of a songwriter who is marking her place on the landscape, a potent coming together of an array of musical moods and styles to create an atmosphere entirely, and beautifully, Ailsa's own.
Drive is out now via Dalliance Recordings. Click HERE for more information on Ailsa Tully.

Q: Protractor test redirect I've got an Angular application which I want to test. It has login section and I need to know somehow whether it worked fine (it sent login data, opened a socket connection, redirected to the apps depth and a route guard didn't prevent that redirection).
I've tried
import { AppPage } from './app.po';
import { browser, by, element, until } from "protractor";
import urlContains = until.urlContains;

...
it('should log in', () => {
        page.navigateTo();
        page.fillInputs();
        page.logIn();

        browser.waitForAngular();
        browser.wait(() => {
            return urlContains('dashboard');
        }, 2000);
    });

And it succeeds even if I do fill field with incorrect data and the app doesn't do any redirects. How do I achieve this redirect await and then checking the url?
I'm using Angular 6 if it's important.
Yes, I've seen a similar topic with answer that I don't understand.

A: It seems I may have an old version of protractor, I could not find urlContains method the until namespace. I work with ExpectedConditions and it works fine for me.
So using Expected Conditions, you can have a code like:
expect(
  browser.wait(
    protractor.ExpectedConditions.urlContains("dashboard"), 5000
  )
    .catch(() => {return false})
).toBeTruthy(`Url match could not succced`);

I like using a catch so that the script doesn't stop in between whenever an error comes. Also an expect() will mark one test case(useful in reading generated reports).

How the BBC Erased All Trace of Saudi Support for Al Qaeda in Syria
by [email protected] | Oct 28, 2015 | Blog | 0 comments
An interesting example of how the BBC does its best to promote the
foreign policy interests of British capitalism and the current government by
doctoring its news stories. In this case
it is subscribing to the line that the 'moderates' that Saudi Arabia are
supplying are not in fact the Al Qaeda group, al-Nusra. In this case they tripped over their own lies
in their efforts to cover up what the Saudi regime was doing.
Cameron fighting for human rights
Unlike Jon Snow's demolition job on David Cameron regarding US support
for Saudi membership of the UN Human Rights Council, the BBC does its best to
cover up the government's support of this obnoxious regime.
BBC Protects U.K.'s Close Ally Saudi Arabia With Incredibly Dishonest and Biased Editing
– "The Intercept"
– The BBC loves to boast about how "objective" and "neutral" it is. But a
recent article, which it was forced to change, illustrates the lengths to which
the British state-funded
media outlet will go to protect one of the
U.K. government's closest allies, Saudi Arabia, which also happens to be one
of the country's largest arms purchasers (just this morning, the Saudi
ambassador to the U.K. threatened in an
op-ed that any further criticism of the Riyadh regime by Jeremy
Corbyn could jeopardize the multi-layered U.K./Saudi alliance).
How the Chair of the UN Human Rights Council Defends Human Rights
this month, the BBC published an
article describing the increase in weapons and money sent by Saudi
Arabia and other Gulf regimes to anti-Assad fighters in Syria. All of that
"reporting" was based on the claims of what the BBC called "a Saudi
government official," who — because he works for a government closely allied with
the U.K. — was granted anonymity by the BBC and then had his claims mindlessly
and uncritically presented as fact (it is the
rare exception when the BBC reports adversarially on the Saudis). This
anonymous "Saudi official" wasn't whistleblowing or presenting information
contrary to the interests of the regime; to the contrary, he was disseminating
official information the regime wanted publicized. This was the key claim of
the anonymous Saudi official (emphasis added):
The Zionist and Saudi flags
well-placed official, who asked not to be named, said supplies of modern,
high-powered weaponry including guided anti-tank weapons would be increased to
the Arab- and western-backed rebel groups fighting the forces of Syria's
President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian, Iranian and Lebanese allies.
One of the quainter practices of this esteemed member of the UN Human Rights Council
said those groups being supplied did not include either Islamic State (IS)
or al-Nusra Front, both of which are proscribed terrorist organizations.
Instead, he said the weapons would go to three rebel alliances — Jaish
al-Fatah (Army of Conquest), the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the Southern
Front.
the Saudis, says the anonymous official, are only arming groups such as
the "Army of Conquest," but not the al Qaeda affiliate the Nusra Front.
What's the problem with this claim? It's obvious, though the BBC would not be
so impolite as to point it out: The Army of Conquest includes the Nusra
Front as one of its most potent components. This is not even in
remote dispute; the New York Times' elementary
explainer on the Army of Conquest from three weeks ago states:
are its members?
Reagan & Saudi Ambassador
alliance consists of a number of mostly Islamist factions, including the Nusra
Front, al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate; Ahrar al-Sham, another large group; and
more moderate rebel factions that have received covert arms support from the
intelligence services of the United States and its allies.
Israeli & Saudi Spy Chiefs
Telegraph, in an
early October article complaining that Russia was bombing "non-ISIL
rebels," similarly noted that the Army of Conquest (bombed by Russia) "includes
a number of Islamist groups, most powerful among them Ahrar al-Sham and Jabhat
al-Nusra. Jabhat al-Nusra is the local affiliate of al-Qaeda." Even the Voice
of America noted that "Russia's main target has been the Army of
Conquest, an alliance of insurgent groups that includes the al-Nusra Front,
al-Qaida's affiliate in Syria, and the hard-line Islamist group Ahrar al-Sham,
as well as some less extreme Islamist groups."
other words, the claim from the anonymous Saudi official that the BBC
uncritically regurgitated — that the Saudis are only arming the Army of
Conquest but no groups that "include" the Nusra Front — is self-negating. A BBC
reader, Ricardo Vaz, brought this contradiction to the BBC's attention. As he
told The Intercept: "The problem is that the Nusra Front is the
most important faction inside the Army of Conquest. So either the Saudi
official expected the BBC journalist not to know this, or he expects us to
believe they can deliver weapons to factions fighting side by side with an al
Qaeda affiliate and that those weapons will not make their way into Nusra's
hands. In any case, this is very close to an official admission that the Saudis
(along with Qataris and Turkish) are supplying weapons to an al Qaeda
affiliate. This of course is not a secret to anyone who's paying attention."
Charles & Camilla Royally Defending Human Rights
response to Vaz's complaint, the BBC did not tell its readers about this vital
admission. Instead, it simply edited that Saudi admission out of its article.
In doing so, it made the already-misleading article so much worse, as the
BBC went even further out of its way to protect the Saudis. This is
what that passage now states on the current version of
the article on the BBC's site (emphasis added):
said those groups being supplied did not include either Islamic State (IS) or
al-Nusra Front, both of which are proscribed terrorist organizations. Instead,
he said the weapons would go to the Free Syrian Army and other small rebel groups.
Bush & a Saudi Prince
originally, the BBC stated that the "Saudi official" announced that the
regime was arming the Army of Conquest. Once it was brought to
the BBC's attention that the Army of Conquest includes the al Qaeda
affiliate Nusra Front — a direct contradiction of the Saudi
official's other claim that the Saudis are not arming Nusra — the BBC
literally changed the Saudi official's own statement, whitewashed it, to
eliminate his admission that they were arming Army of Conquest. Instead, the
BBC now states that the Saudis are arming "the Free Syrian Army and other
small rebel groups." The BBC simply deleted the key admission that the Saudis
are arming al Qaeda. As Vaz told The Intercept:
is an incredible whitewashing effort! Before they were directly quoting the
Saudi official, and he explicitly referred to "three rebel alliances,"
including "Jaish al-Fatah" [Army of Conquest]. There is no way a journalist was
told "other small rebel groups" and understood what was written before. In
their reply to my complaint they said the mistake was an "editorial oversight,"
which is truly laughable. What we saw was a prestigious western media outlet
surrendering the floor to an anonymous official from the most medieval of
regimes, the official pretty much saying that they were going to supply (more)
weapons to an al Qaeda affiliate, and instead of pointing this out, the BBC
chose to blur the picture and cover the terrorist-arming/funding activities of
the Saudis/Qataris/Turkish.
Kerry & King Salman
personally don't view the presence of al Qaeda "affiliated" fighters as a
convincing argument against supporting Syrian rebels. It's understandable
that people fighting against an oppressive regime — one backed by
powerful foreign factions — will align with anyone willing and capable of
fighting with them. Moreover, the long-standing U.S./U.K. template of branding
anyone they fight and kill as "terrorists" or "al Qaeda" is no more persuasive
or noble when used in Syria by Assad and the Russians, particularly
when used to obscure
civilian casualties. And regarding the anti-Assad forces as monolithically
composed of religious extremists ignores the anti-tyranny sentiment among
ordinary Syrians motivating much of the anti-regime protests, with its
genesis in the Arab Spring.
what this does highlight is just how ludicrous — how beyond parody — the
14-year-old war on terror has become, how little it has to do with its original
ostensible justification. The regime with the
greatest plausible proximity to the
9/11 attack — Saudi
Arabia — is the closest U.S. ally in the region next to Israel. The
country that had absolutely nothing to do with that attack, and which is at
least as threatened as the U.S. by the religious ideology that spurred it —
Iran — is the U.S.'s greatest war-on-terror adversary. Now we have a virtual
admission from the Saudis that they are arming a group that centrally includes al
Qaeda, while the U.S. itself has at least indirectly done
the same (just as was
true in Libya). And we're actually at the point where western media outlets
are vehemently denouncing Russia for bombing al Qaeda elements, which those
outlets are manipulatively referring
to as "non-ISIS groups."
not a stretch to say that the faction that provides the greatest material
support to al Qaeda at this point is the U.S. and its closest allies. That is
true even as al Qaeda continues to be paraded around as the prime need for the
ongoing war.
whatever one's views are on Syria, it's telling indeed to watch the BBC
desperately protect Saudi officials, not only by granting them anonymity to
spout official propaganda, but worse, by using blatant editing games to
whitewash the Saudis' own damaging admissions, ones the BBC
unwittingly published. There are many adjectives one can apply to the BBC's
behavior here: "Objective" and "neutral" are most assuredly not among them.


Church in Progress MCC is a small but growing emerging church in South Auckland, Aotearoa. Rev Emily Worman is the pastoral leader and does so with strong support from her husband Alan.
Please have a read of all the adventures we had in 2015.
As you read through the list of events we have had please say a word of thanks to all the people behind these events. No church can function without support and help of the people and we give thanks that Church in Progress had so many willing people in 2015. We also acknowledge MCC Sydney who is our partnership church.
– Is there still a need/desire from the community for Church in Progress?
– Do we have enough committed people to sustain Church in Progress?
– What vision do we have for the next year?
Please join in the prayer at the bottom of this post.
Emily is on the General Conference 2016 Worship team.
Emerging Church Partnership with MCC Sydney. As well as support for Emily MCC Sydney have also been collecting a portion of their financial tithes for us. However, Church in Progress and MCC Sydney have decided that these fund will be held by MCC Sydney until Church in Progress sets up a trust and bank account.
Emily and Alan are both active members of a local social justice group 'Respect Our Community Campaign' (ROCC). This year Emily and Alan have attended local board meetings, part of the team that is pushing council to provide a new community hub building, presented evidence at liquor licence renewal hearings, attended protests and supported a campaign which is trying to save local sacred green space from development as well as continuing to promote public transport over new roads and motorways being built through our neighbourhood. It is very encouraging that other people who come along to Church in Progress are also involved in many of these social justice activities.
Emily served on the Trust Board of the Mangere Budgeting Service. This organisation provides budgeting advisors and a food bank for the local community. A few of us from Church in Progress also helped with putting together the Christmas food parcels. We also had a collection of toiletries for the food bank at our December monthly service.
Emily is the 'Camp Mother' at the MCC Australasian Women's Retreat. Planning begins via skype in February and the retreat is held in October.
Started on 20th February we had six weeks, on Friday night of "How we drive affects others … Preparing for Easter". Church in Progress provided a space in which people could explore what it means to be on a travelling through life together. We used different scripture each week and discussed ideas on facebook beforehand. Each week also had a theme – Community, Time, Rules and Regulations, Navigation, Being Blessed? and the last week we made palm crosses for the local hospital's chaplaincy team to hand out and we shared what Easter means for us.
Dinner and feedback about how our Lent Preparation series went. We also provided an online survey. Only a few people responded but it was positive. You can see the results here.
Prayer Doodling at Middlemore Hospital. We create a doodling space outside the hospital's spiritual centre. It also provides an easy to access space to pastoral care for those who are unco mfortable with going inside the spiritual centre.
Friday night in August we met up at KFC for "Variety Bucket! Conversations at KFC". We took prayer doodling equipment and we just chatted and drew about what was on our hearts. These prayer doodles became a focus for prayer on facebook in the week that followed. You can see some of our prayers here.
We had a at least two planning meeting in preparation for Emily's Ordination.
We also facilitated a Prayer Doodling session at Middlemore Hospital.
A small group of us marched to show our opposition to the TPPA trade process.
Emily and Alan led the service at Bay Of Islands Uniting Parish on the 6th of September.
We had more planning meetings in preparation for Emily's Ordination.
We facilitated a Prayer Doodling session at Middlemore Hospital.
Emily's Ordination Service was held on the 26th September. What a day! So many people came to support and we had a MASSIVE crew of helpers. Please see blog post about this event here.
MCC Australasian Women's Retreat held in NSW, Australia from the 9th-11th of October. Emily is part of the retreat committee and plans and runs the services during the retreat. This year she also facilitated a session.
Our first official monthly interactive worship service and shared meal was held on the 17th October.
A team was formed to plan our November Monthly Gathering service. Emily provided the scripture and the focus, we all shared ideas on facebook first and then got together to put the service together.
Emily attended the MCC Australasian Network Gathering in Melbourne.
Our November Monthly Gathering and meal was h eld on the 21st November.
Christmas Karaoke! Lots of people came and sang their hearts out! We also gathered items for the local food bank.
We plan to have our monthly interactive worship services throughout 2016 on Saturdays 4-6pm. Each gathering will include a shared meal. Get more details about times on our facebook event page or our main website.
Every month a group with get together to plan as a team for the worship service. This involves talking about activities, prayer focus and up skilling others to lead various parts of the service. If this group gets stronger and want more services throughout the month this will be considered later in the year. We will only increase the number of services when there is a team that is prepared to support these extra services. If you are interested in being involved in this creative experience, please contact us.
It is our hope to get at least 3 women from Church in Progress to attend the MCC Australasian Women's retreat in October 2016. If you are interested, please contact us.
Emily is in real need of an 'Emerging Church Coach' – hopefully this will eventuate in 2016 with support from The MCC Emerging Church Team.
June is the deadline we have set for ourselves to set up a Church Board, trust and bank account. If you are interested in being on the board please contact us.
In July Alan and Emily will attend MCC General Conference in Canada. Alan has had $500 donated in his name to the 'Be a Gem' fund and Emily is been enabled to go through her work on the General Conference Worship Team.
In December the Church Board will meet and decide if Church in Progress will continue into 2017.

Yohji Yamamoto claimed inspiration from French singer Serge Gainsbourg, "an icon of a good-looking French male," as the designer said after the show. And Gainsbourg's signature mix of formal and casual—pinstripe jacket over evening shirt, worn loose, over cropped denims with huge cuffs—was much in evidence.
But another star also made his presence felt. Yamamoto recently designed all the clothes for Elton John's Las Vegas sojourn (on and offstage), and there was an echo of that gig in the shirts with shredded fronts, in the striped robes that would be ideal for backstage relaxing, and in the tracksuit detailing on trousers and tops (Yamamoto has created dozens of tracksuits for the singer). Garment-dyed suits in palest blue, aqua, gray, and beige had the worn, slightly shapeless feel of vintage Yamamoto. Much more striking was a black linen suit topstitched in red, with matching red buttons and buttonholes. It was enough to bring out the inner dandy in any man—let alone in clotheshorses like Serge and Elton.


Alchemical Wanderings arrives in a mysteriously shaded bag and is accompanied by a tube of miscellaneous metals, befitting its title. Gold flecks have been mixed in, perhaps some pyrite and copper. Warning to children: Do Not Eat.
This mysterious air extends to the recording itself, from a South Korean artist who prefers to err on the side of anonymity. Even the tracks lack guideposts: they are referred to as a single piece, and are connected by a very thin thread of vinyl crackle that fades into silence at the end of each movement, only to start again at the beginning of the next. The submerged gongs and bells of the opening section lend the album an ancient air; but after only three minutes, they are joined by modern pings and pongs. A fade into nothingness at 4:30 is followed by the omnipotent crackle as it introduces a new set of tones. This pattern of reset and repeat imitates an experiment in which variables are changed one at a time in hopes of achieving the desired result. For the alchemists, it was turning lead into gold; for Fescal, it seems to be understanding through immersion.
