Q: Parse xml into ObservableCollection using Linq. Data bind to datagrid using wpf c# I'm new to linq, wpf and C#. I've managed to research my way to a functional component. I have attacked data binding successfully but I'm struggling with performance. I'm reading in a static external xml file (i.e. database) and want to display it to users using a wpf datagrid. The additional bit of info is that I'm using a user-controlled wpf combobox to filter how much data from the database is shown in the grid. I'd like to use linq to accomplish this task but I can't seem to get it to perform correctly.

The PopulateGrid call is slow because I create a new ObservableCollection every time the combobox changes value. I'm not use to working with collections and linq so if someone can offer my a more robust alternative I'd appreciate it!

A: You can save yourself some trouble by binding directly to the XML file:
XAML
<Grid>
    <Grid.DataContext>
        <XmlDataProvider Source="DataBase.xml"/>
    </Grid.DataContext>

    <StackPanel>
        <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding XPath=/DBRoot/Mfg}" Name="comboBox" SelectedIndex="0">
            <ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <TextBlock Text="{Binding XPath=@name}"/>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
        </ComboBox>
        <DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding ElementName=comboBox, Path=SelectedItem}" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <DataGrid.Columns>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding XPath=Nominal}" Header="Nominal"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding XPath=Schedule}" Header="Schedule"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding XPath=OD}" Header="OD"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding XPath=Wall_Thickness}" Header="Wall Thickness"/>
                <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding XPath=ID}" Header="ID"/>
            </DataGrid.Columns>
        </DataGrid>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

A: Oh my goodness.   Your problem starts with ObservableCollection<string> MfgNames. String has no intelligence and you are building data from scratch every time.  Use a class.
public class Mfg
{
    public string Name { get; private set; }

    public ObservableCollection <CPipeData> pipes { ....

Then in the detail you just bind
ItemsSounce="{binding ElementName=cbMfg Path=SelectedItem.Pipes}"

Look up Master Detail on MSDN.Microsoft.Com
If several Mfg use the same pipe then you would create a hashset with the relationship and pass the hashset to Mfg and use LINQ the filter from that single hashset.  Override GetHash.

In 2020, the Black & Gold is also set to host fellow Eastern Conference sides the Montreal Impact (May 9) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (May 27) during the month of May. The Crew is set to play three matches at MAPFRE Stadium in June, hosting Chicago Fire FC (June 13), D.C. United (June 20) and Atlanta United (June 27) before playing its inaugural MLS regular-season home match against expansion side Inter Miami CF (July 5).
Crew SC travels to face FC Cincinnati for a nationally televised match before returning to MAPFRE Stadium to host the Colorado Rapids (July 25). A two-match home stand in August follows, during which the Crew faces the New England Revolution (August 15) as well as the second of two regular-season matches FC Cincinnati (August 22). The Black & Gold then close the regular-season home schedule with back-to-back matches against the Houston Dynamo (September 12) and the New York Red Bulls (September 19).

The Phenomenon called Artificial Language
Project Management & Technology Industry Related
"In the Future, will there be a new International Language?"
Imagine a world where the people from each country only spoke their native tongue and the international language. But that international language wasn't a language from any particular country. Yes, imagine with me a future in which the international language didn't belong to or originate from any country in the world – but it was instead a created language. A language that was very easy for everyone to learn. So easy, that everyone could learn to speak it within a 6-month period, or even sooner…
Looking at how things are in the world today – the political problems, wars, disagreements, strife between countries, and etc. – I can't help but think that this very well could be a possibility. In the next few paragraphs, I'm going to give you 2 reasons why I believe that this could one day become a reality and what I think could be a challenge to today's way of communicating.
Reason 1: Constructed/Invented Languages
Yes yes, all of you Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Avatar fans you know from watching shows and movies like these that the characters in them speak their own language. And for those of you who don't know the languages they speak are actual languages, with vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure, just like real-life languages. In other words, the characters in these shows and movies actually speak a real language that doesn't originate from any real country. Hmmm… so you're telling me that people have actually sat down and thought up a vocabulary, sentence structure, and grammar, and created a language? Yes. And each of these languages have enough vocabulary in them that if learned, people could actually communicate with one another through them in the real world.

Reason 2: Auxiliary Languages
If you're familiar with the topic of auxiliary or invented languages – I'm sure you've heard of the language, Esperanto. This language was invented in 1887 by a Polish doctor named L. L. Zamenhof, who wanted to create peace between the 4 different cultural groups that he lived among as a child who were always fighting because of a language barrier problem. So, one day he decided that he would create a language that would be easy enough for all of them to learn and speak therefore eliminating the problems that were occurring and causing division between them. Keep in mind that back then, they obviously didn't have technology and websites like Google Translate that we have today. So things were a bit tougher, to say the least.
Fast-forward to today, over 130 years later, and you will find that throughout many countries in the world, there are people who still speak this invented language – an estimated amount of around 2 million people. It is the oldest auxiliary language to still be around to this day and is considered to be one of the easiest languages to learn.
What will the International Language of the Future be?
Technology is advancing very rapidly these days. And unlike hundreds of years ago, or even 50, it's a whole lot easier for people to learn languages today. But, will this be a necessity in the future?
Will the children of tomorrow keep things the way that they are today? Think back 50 years – would you say that we run things today the same way that we ran it back then? "Well, technology, politics, and people are much more different than they were 50 years ago," you might say. And you're right. Things have changed, drastically. So it only makes sense for this extreme cycle of change to continue on, right? With this in mind, I'd like you to think about a few things:
What will be the language of the future?
Will verbal communication still be a thing or will a new way of communicating be invented?
Will politicians ever speak the same language?

And finally, the last question I want to leave you with and really want you to think about –
"What are the chances that the children of the future would choose a created language as the new International Language?"

12 Wonderful Car Debuts at Salon Prive London 2022
By Heath Rivera On Jun 11, 2022
Twelve special automotive debuts took place on Thursday 21 April as the capital's new automotive event, Salon Privé London, opened its doors at Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Promising to be London's most exclusive automotive party, with plenty to see and do, the three-day celebration featured mouth-watering new machinery, a second-to-none selection of classic cars for sale in the Concours de Vente, and some of the world's most desirable luxury brands alongside the capital's finest dining courtesy of hospitality group JKS Restaurants.
Appearing exclusively at Royal Hospital Chelsea, the roster of vehicles included:
Alfa Romeo 12C Prototipo
Making its public debut 81 years after it was first conceived, the long-lost Alfa Romeo 12C prototype was unveiled alongside a brand-new book telling the fascinating story of the pre-war racer.
Over the course of 272 pages, The Missing Link? pieces together the full story of this historically significant Alfa Romeo and how it connects three of the world's greatest automotive marques – Alfa Romeo, Ferrari and Porsche. Decades after the project was abandoned, the major components of the Alfa Romeo on which they'd collaborated were reunited and the car restored. The new book is the first from Progetto 33 – the publishing house founded by Stefano Martinoli, owner of the 12C Prototipo.
Aston Martin DBX707
Aston Martin Mayfair gave the Aston Martin DBX707, the world's most powerful luxury SUV, its UK event debut. An SUV like no other, it elevates Aston Martin to the pinnacle of the segment with a unique combination of blistering performance, supreme dynamics, unmistakable style and absolute luxury.
Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport
H.R. Owen Bugatti presented the public debut of Bugatti Sur Mesure's first customer project at Salon Privé London. The unique Chiron Pur Sport is inspired by the heroics of racing driver Louis Chiron, and features brand-new exterior paint colours as well as a number of ultra-bespoke interior and exterior styling additions.
Translated as 'tailored', Bugatti's Sur Mesure builds upon the marque's distinguished history of coachbuilding, handcrafted interiors, paint finishes, embroidery and bodywork. It harnesses the collective expertise of its skilled designers and engineers to form a brand-new programme to meet growing customer demand for ultra-customised designs, materials and finishes.
Electric Mustang by Charge Cars
The highly anticipated production-intent version of the Electric Mustang by Charge Cars made its global debut at Salon Privé London, with customers able to order the EV at the event.
A hand-built, zero-emissions design icon, the brand-new Electric Mustang uses cutting-edge technology to redefine the revered 1967 Fastback model. With a new steel bodyshell, complete with the blessing of Ford, and composite body panels to minimise weight, the car's quad-motor configuration provides 536bhp and a 0-62mph time of just 3.9 seconds.
Caton's Austin-Healey 100
The all-new and ultra-exclusive Healey by Caton made its global public debut at Salon Privé London, as the reincarnation of the iconic Austin-Healey 100 sports car arrives at Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Healey by Caton is a unique combination of 21st-century design and engineering with traditional techniques, all of which delivers a driver's car for the modern age. Promising an immersive, intoxicating and emotional automotive experience, the first creation from the all-new luxury British brand Caton brings the Austin-Healey 100 up to date while still protecting the ethos of the 1950s original.
The revolutionary new Ferrari 296 GTB madeits UK static debut at Salon Privé London with H.R. Owen Ferrari. The first of Maranello's road cars with plug-in (PHEV) hybrid architecture, the 296 GTB boasts an internal combustion engine integrated with a single electric motor. With an exceptionally wide V6 design helping contribute to the car's compact dimensions, it's efficient and responsive – and delivers 818bhp, resulting in a 0-62mph time of only 2.9 seconds.
In addition to the 296 GTB, a tailor made Roma was on display, showcasing Ferrari's exclusive programme for customers who want to create an unmistakable, one-of-a-kind vehicle.
Genesis unveiled its first dedicated electric platform-based vehicle at Royal Hospital Chelsea, when the GV60 made its European debut. Building on Genesis' philosophy of setting a new standard in customer service, paired with luxury design, the GV60 delivers the technology of a high-performance electric car in the form of a sleek and athletic coupé crossover utility vehicle.
Following its launch in 2015, Genesis has established itself as a unique alternative within the premium segment. A new model in the burgeoning brand's line-up, the GV60 draws on its 'Athletic Elegance' design language to truly stand apart from its rivals.
Car Range: 320 miles, 292 or 288.
Price: £75k, car on show, fully specced up. Prices start at £47k to £65k.
USPs: interior quality very high. You can plug in any of your home appliances, if you'd want to.
A beautiful and luxury car for sure. If the customer service angle is to be believed, then being a customer should be a wonderful experience. Personally I'm just not convinced that this car is big enough for the modern day family of 5. You certainly couldn't fit more than two adults in the back, maybe three small kids, but not big kids. So in short I believe this is a lovely car, but it's for a small family of 3 to 4 people.
Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations
The new Range Rover SV, the flagship of Land Rover's pinnacle luxury vehicle, made its UK event debut at Salon Privé London, mixing modernity and aesthetic grace to create an exquisite interpretation of the iconic SUV.
With a breath-taking choice of personalisation options across both standard and long-wheelbase models, including a five-seat LWB configuration for the first time, the new Range Rover SV provides customers with a new level of craftsmanship as well as greater functionality. The first vehicle to wear the distinctive ceramic SV roundel, it represents the apex of design and engineering expertise from Land Rover's in-house Special Vehicle Operations team.
Morgan Super 3
The all-new Morgan Super 3 made its UK show debut at Salon Privé London, as the Morgan Motor Company showcases its entire range at Royal Hospital Chelsea. Recently revealed to the press, the Super 3 continues the 113-year legacy of three-wheeled Morgan vehicles yet introduces a new product family with a design language inspired by the Jet Age.
The Super 3 has been designed from the ground up to offer new levels of character, thrill and adventure. Built in Malvern, Worcestershire, like every Morgan since 1909, the Super 3 draws on the skilled men and women that handcraft vehicles in the renowned red brick buildings on Pickersleigh Road.
Prodrive Hunter
The spectacular new Prodrive Hunter made its UK public debut at Royal Hospital Chelsea. The world's first all-terrain hypercar has been developed from the Bahrain Raid Xtreme competition car that was driven by nine-times World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb on the world's toughest motorsport event – the Dakar, on which he finished second overall this year
Developed by British company, Prodrive – which boasts more than 40 years of off-road competition success – the production version of the Hunter is even more extreme than the car driven by Loeb. The 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine has been refined and retuned at Prodrive's Banbury HQ, and its power output has been boosted by 50 percent to more than 600bhp. In order to improve driveability, the competition car's manual sequential gearbox has been replaced by a six-speed paddle shift that can change gear in milliseconds.
Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost the purest Black Badge yet:
Black Badge Ghost debuts dark side of Post Opulent design
6.75-litre V12 engine now delivers increased power (600PS) and torque (900NM)
Drivetrain and chassis re-engineered for more urgent performance
Curated collection debuts striking Turchese Leather and Technical Carbon veneer
Bespoke alloy wheel introduced in Black Badge house style with carbon fibre barrel
Infinity lemniscate symbol continues to codify noir expression of Rolls-Royce
"After considerable internal debate, Rolls-Royce announced that it would create an officially sanctioned response to a new kind of client: a permanent Bespoke treatment to its motor cars named Black Badge. These products, which were launched in 2016, would be darker in aesthetic, more urgent in personality and dramatic in material treatment. "In the five years since Black Badge became publicly available, this bold family of motor cars has come to symbolise the pinnacle of a new type of super-luxury product, setting in motion a shift across the wider luxury industry. Subsequently, nearly all luxury makers create products that seek to capture the Black Badge spirit. "Today, we announce a product that represents a new kind of Black Badge motor car, one that seizes on the minimalist, Post Opulent design treatment that has recast the legend of Ghost but amplifies and subverts it with the application of black. Our most advanced motor car yet has been reengineered to characterise the alter ego of Rolls-Royce: assertive, dynamic and potent.
This is the purest Black Badge motor car in the marque's history. This is Black Badge Ghost."
Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Tushek TS900 Apex
Hailing from Slovenia, the updated Tushek TS900 Apex made its global public debut for orders, as the hypercar manufacturer shows its revolutionary hybrid model.
An advanced evolution of the cars previously seen, and the lightest hybrid hypercar on the market, the Tushek TS900 Apex employs a new and patented electric drive system. Achieving perfect parity, the car possesses a power-to-weight ratio of one metric horsepower to one kilogram of mass (1:1). A landmark achievement, Tushek joins an elite handful of vaunted marques to have achieved such an engineering breakthrough.
So there you have the unveilings from Salon Prive London. I hoped you liked those cars. Another car we saw for the very first time and worth a mention is the Ferrari Daytona SP3 (below). £2m each, they will make 599 and all are sold already. The Daytona SP3 is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 that is shared with the 812 Superfast and marks the first return of Ferrari to naturally aspirated engines for limited edition cars without hybrid electric systems, since the Ferrari Enzo built in 2002.
So there you have it. We hoped that you enjoyed the article, and we hope to see you around and talk all things cars.

Multiphase RANS simulation of turbulent bubbly flows
Colombo, M, Fairweather, M, Lo, S et al. (1 more author) (2016) Multiphase RANS simulation of turbulent bubbly flows. In: International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermal Hydraulics 2015, NURETH 2015. International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Reactor Thermalhydraulics 2015, 30 Aug - 04 Sep 2015, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Chicago, USA. American Nuclear Society , pp. 2644-2657. ISBN 9781510811843
The subject of this paper is the CFD simulation of adiabatic bubbly air-water flows. The aim is to contribute to the ongoing effort to develop more advanced simulation tools and, perhaps even more challenging, support the case for a more confident application of these techniques to reactor safety studies. The focus of this work is mostly multiphase turbulence and our ability to predict it, since it is a major driver in many areas of multiphase flow modelling, in addition to work on population balance approaches for bubble size prediction and boiling at a wall. The models are validated against a large number of pipe flows which were selected as test cases for both their relative simplicity with respect to the more complex flows encountered in practice, and also for the significant number of experimental studies available. Both upward and downward flows are simulated with the STAR-CCM+ code. Starting from an existing formulation, an optimized bubble induced turbulence model is proposed and compared with other models available from the literature. The model is then included in a Reynolds stress multiphase formulation, which is assessed against experiments and the k-s model. In this context, the availability of a validated Reynolds stress multiphase formulation would be a significant step forward for the simulation of more complex flow conditions given the known shortcomings of eddy viscosity-based turbulence models. Finally, the performance of a drag model that accounts for the effect of bubble aspect ratio is evaluated because of its ability to improve velocity predictions near the wall.

Brian Mulroney's eulogy to George H.W. Bush: Video - Macleans.ca
Brian Mulroney's eulogy to George H.W. Bush: Video
Mulroney on his warm relations with the former president: 'The best ships are friendships, and may they always be'
by Maclean's
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney delivered a eulogy at the funeral of former U.S. president George H.W. Bush on Dec. 5 in Washington. These are his full remarks.
You remember where you were the summer you left your teenager years behind and turned 20. Well, I was working as a labourer in my hometown in northern Quebec, trying to make enough money to get back into law school. It was a tough job, but I was safe and secure and had the added benefit of my mother's home cooking every night.
On Sept. 2, 1944, as we have just heard so eloquently from John, 20-year-old Lieutenant George Bush was preparing to attack Japanese war installations in the Pacific. He was part of a courageous generation of young Americans who led the charge against overwhelming odds in the historic and bloody battle for supremacy in the Pacific against the colossal military might of Imperial Japan. That's what George Bush did the summer he turned 20.

Many men of differing talents and skills have served as president, and many more will do so as the decades unfold, bringing new strength and glory to these United States of America. And 50 or 100 years from now, as historians review the accomplishments and the context of all who have served as president, I believe it will be said that in the life of this country, the United States, which is in my judgment the greatest democratic republic that God has ever placed on the face of this Earth, I believe it will be said that no occupant of the Oval Office was more courageous, more principled and more honourable than George Herbert Walker Bush.
George Bush was a man of high accomplishment, but he also had a delightful sense of humour, and was a lot of fun. At his first NATO meeting in Brussels, as the new American president—he sat opposite me actually, that day—George was taking copious notes as the heads of government spoke. We were all limited in time. But you know, it's very flattering to have the president of the United States take notes as you speak. Even someone as modest as me threw in a few more adjectives here and there, to extend the pleasure of the experience.
After President Mitterrand, Prime Minister Thatcher, and Chancellor Kohl had spoken, it was the turn of the prime minister of Iceland who, as President Bush continued to write, went on and on and on and on—ending only when the secretary-general of NATO firmly decreed a coffee break. George put down his pen, walked over to me and said, "Brian, I've just learned the fundamental principle of international affairs." I said, "What's that, George?" He said, "The smaller the country, the longer the speech."

In the second year of the Bush presidency, responding to implacable pressures from the Reagan and Bush administrations, the Soviet Union imploded. This was, in my judgment, the most epochal event, political event, of the 20th century. An ominous situation that could've become extremely menacing to world security was instead deftly challenged by the leadership of President Bush in broad and powerful currents of freedom, providing the Russian people with the opportunity to build an embryonic democracy in a country that had been ruled by czars and tyrants for over a thousand years.
And then, as the Berlin Wall collapsed soon thereafter and calls for freedom cascaded across central and eastern Europe, leaving dictators and dogma in the trash can of history, no challenge—no challenge—assumed greater importance for western solidarity than the unification of Germany within an unswerving NATO. But old fears in western Europe and unrelenting hostility by the military establishment in the Soviet Union—and the Warsaw Pact—rendered this initiative among the most complex and sensitive ever undertaken. One serious misstep and this entire process could have been compromised, perhaps irretrievably. There's obviously no more knowledgeable or competent judge of what really happened at this most vital juncture of the 20th century than Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany. In a speech to a parliamentary commission of the Bundestag, Chancellor Kohl said categorically that this historic initiative of German reunification could never ever have succeeded without the brilliant leadership of President Bush.
Much has been written about the first Gulf War. Simply put, the coalition of 29 disparate nations assembled under the aegis of the United Nations—including, for the first time, many influential Arab countries, and led by the United States—will rank with the most spectacular and successful international initiatives ever undertaken in modern history. Designed to punish an aggressor, defend the cause of freedom and ensure order in a region that had seen too much of the opposite for far too long—this was President Bush's initiative from beginning to end.
President Bush was also responsible for the North American Free Trade Agreement, recently modernized and improved by new administrations, which created the largest and richest free-trade area in the history of the world; while also signing into law the Americans with Disabilities Act, which transformed the lives of millions and millions of Americans forever.

President Bush's decision to go forward with strong environmental legislation, including the Clean Air Act that resulted in the acid rain accord with Canada, is a splendid gift to future generations of Americans and Canadians, to savour in the air they breathe and the water they drink; in the forests they enjoy and the lakes, rivers and streams they cherish.
There's a word for this: it's called leadership. Leadership.
And let me tell you that when George Bush was president of the United States of America, every single head of government in the world knew that they were dealing with a gentleman. A genuine leader. One who was distinguished, resolute and brave.
I don't keep a diary, but occasionally I write private notes after important personal or professional events. One occurred at Walkers Point at Kennebunkport, Maine, on September 2nd, 2001. Mila and I had been spending our traditional Labour Day weekend with George and Barbara, and towards the end, he and I had a long, private conversation. My notes, capture the moment.
I told George how I thought his mood had shifted over the last eight years. From a series of frustrations and moments of despondency in 1993, to the high enthusiasm that I felt at the Houston launch of the Presidential Library, to George W.'s election as governor in November of that year, to the delight following Jeb's election in 1998, followed by their great pride and pleasure with George W.'s election to presidency. And perhaps most importantly, to the serenity we found today in both Barbara and George. They are truly at peace with themselves, joyous in what they and the children have achieved, gratified by the goodness that God has bestowed upon them all, and genuinely content with the thrill and promise of each passing day.
And at that, George, who had tears in his eyes as I spoke, said, "You know Brian, you've got us pegged just right, and the roller coaster of emotions we've experience since 1992. Come with me."
He led me down the porch at Walkers Point to the side of the house that fronts the ocean, and pointed to a small, simple plaque that had been unobtrusively installed just some days earlier. It read: "C.A.V.U."
George said, "Brian, this stands for 'ceiling and visibility unlimited.' When I was a terrified 18-to-19-year-old pilot in the Pacific, those were the words we hoped to hear before takeoff. It meant perfect flying, and that's the way I feel about our life today—C.A.V.U. Everything is perfect. Barbara and I could not have asked for better lives. We are truly happy, and truly at peace."
As I looked over the waters at Walkers Point on that cold September afternoon in Maine, I was reminded of the line, simple and true, that speaks to the real nature of George Bush and his love of his wonderful family and precious surroundings: There are wooden ships, there are sailing ships, there are ships that sail the sea/ But the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
George H. W. Bush

Lenoir-Rhyne University announces 2019-20 Institute for Faith and Learning speaker series
Share to FacebookShare to TwitterShare to Google+Share to LinkedInShare to PinterestShare to EmailPrint this page
The Lenoir-Rhyne University Institute for Faith and Learning will open its 2019-20 speaker series with a presentation by Mary Elise Lowe, Ph.D., Thursday, Oct. 24, at 7 p.m. in Grace Chapel. The event is free and open to the public.
A frequent lecturer and author of numerous articles and books, Lowe's presentation titled, "A Queer Theology of Vocation," will highlight how Martin Luther taught that every individual had a vocation to serve God and neighbor. However, she notes, many models of vocation often exclude LGBTQI persons because of traditional stereotypes about family, work, and identity. Drawing from Lutheran theology, biblical studies, and queer theory, Lowe proposes a more inclusive understanding of vocation that honors the calls and gifts of all persons.
An independent scholar, Lowe is associate professor of religion at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. Her teaching, research, and writing focus on contemporary theologies, LGBTQI theologies, the theology of Martin Luther, and disability theologies. Lowe's most recent essay "The Queer Body-Mind in Martin Luther's Theology: From Subaltern Sodomite to Embodied Imago Dei," is forthcoming in "The Alternative Luther – Lutheran Theology from the Subaltern." She is also the author of "From the Same Spirit: Receiving the Theological Gifts of Transgender Christians" and "Rabbi, who sinned?': Disability Theologies and Sin."
Lowe earned a doctorate from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkley, California, and a Master of Divinity from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. She also lived and studied in the Seattle area, Chicago, the Twin Cities, Holden Village, and the country of Swaziland, where she completed her pastoral internship. When she is not teaching, Lowe enjoys making music with friends, biking, skiing, baking, and camping.
The Lenoir-Rhyne University Institute for Faith and Learning speaker series continues with these dates and speakers as follows:
Richard Beck, Ph.D.
7 p.m., Grace Chapel
A professor and chair of the Department of Psychology at Abilene Christian University, Beck is a sought after speaker and an award-winning blogger and author. His most recent book is "Stranger God: Meeting Jesus in Disguise" and his next book "Trains, Jesus and Murder: The Gospel According to Johnny Cash" is set for release in November 2019. Every Monday evening, Beck leads a Bible class for 50 inmates at the maximum security French Robertson unit and has written and spoken extensively about his experiences working in a prison.
Beck earned a doctorate in experimental psychology from Southern Methodist University. He received both his master's and bachelor's degrees from Abilene Christian University. Beck is married to Jana, who is a high school theater teacher, and they have two sons, Brenden and Aidan. The Becks attend the Highland Church of Christ in Abilene, Texas, where he serves as an elder and adult faith Bible class teacher. Beck also serves and leads at Freedom Fellowship, a mission church plant of Highland that reaches out to the poor and homeless of the city.
Eboo Patel
7 p.m. P.E. Monroe Auditorium
Founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core, a national nonprofit working to make interfaith cooperation a social norm, Patel is the author of "Acts of Faith," "Sacred Ground," "Interfaith Leadership," and "Out of Many Faiths." For more than 15 years, Patel has worked with governments, social sector organizations, and college and university campuses to help realize a future where religion is a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. Named by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's Best Leaders of 2009, Patel served on President Obama's inaugural Faith Council.
Patel holds a doctorate in the sociology of religion from Oxford University, where he studied on a Rhodes scholarship. Currently, Patel spends most of his time on the road, doing what he loves: meeting students, educators, and community leaders to talk about the complex landscape of religious diversity and the power of interfaith cooperation in the 21st century. These details and more about Eboo Patel and Interfaith Youth Core are found at ifyc.org. This event is co-sponsored by the Lenoir-Rhyne University Living Well Center for Vocation and Purpose and Visiting Writers Series, with the Catawba Valley Interfaith Council.

The Lenoir-Rhyne University Institute for Faith and Learning speaker series invites prominent religious figures and authors to share their work and beliefs with audiences at LR and Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. The IFL, in conjunction with the Academy for Faith and Leadership at LTSS, endeavors to provide programming that contributes to and enriches a culture of the intellect that is theologically based. Its programs are directed to Christians of all traditions.


Cannabidol or CBD is derived from medical marijuana, having many medical properties. It is known for its anti-depressant, anti-inflammation, and anti-convulsing properties, but does CBD make you sleepy?
A lot of research has been carried out on CBD to assess its effects on sleep. According to tests and examination on patients of arthritis, it was found out that their sleep patterns improved considerably when they took cannabis-filled medications for their arthritis.
CBD is commonly known for reducing the pain, inflammation, and depression and is prescribed for people suffering from arthritis, joint pain, migraines and other diseases.
CBD is one of the main primary bioactive components of the Cannabis Sativa plant while the other is THC. Although THC is also a component of marijuana, yet it is often associated with giving a feeling of euphoria when ingested.
Unlike THC, CBD does not cause euphoria and is not addictive. That is why it is prescribed by doctors to their patients in case they are suffering from any pain in the body.
One of the most commonly asked questions by the patients using CBD dosages and oils is: does CBD make you sleepy?
The answer lies in the amount of CBD dosage that the person takes. It is true that CBD deals with anxiety and depression by reducing the anxiety, but its effects are different from the effects of THC.
While THC may cause the person to completely get euphoric, CBD does not make the person euphoric. Instead it calms the nerves of the person, reducing anxiety and depression.
CBD is effective for sleep because it is credited with such properties like reducing depression and anxiety, which are helpful in reducing sleep related difficulties and improving the quality of sleep.
Some of the previous studies have been conducted on animals and humans to find out its effects on the sleep patterns. One of the main outcome of these studies was the result that the answer to the question "does CBD make you sleepy?" lies in the amount of dosage administered to the patient.
In the testing of CBD on animals, it was found out that doses of CBD in low range has a stimulating effect on them, meaning that in low doses, CBD makes the rats active and alert.
On the other hand, when this dosage was increased to higher doses (10-40 mg) it caused sleep in the animals. This is interesting as it was found out that the total percentage of sleep increased by a significant amount in the rats when their CBD dosage increased.
In fact, in a 2013 study on the effects of CBD dosage on sleep, it was observed that the rats which were given less dosage of CBD took a longer time falling asleep than the rats who were given high doses.
In the case of humans, similar observations were made. Some of the few studies on a small scale on active human volunteers who reported that larger doses of CBD a day (600 mg) caused them to sleep longer, with few periods of wakefulness in between.
On the other hand, even low doses of CBD (160 mg) caused these humans to fall asleep faster. They reported more time spent in sleeping in comparison to volunteers who complained of an inability to fall asleep.
Through the studies, it was found out that those people who had received CBD dosage slept better and for longer time than the people who were not administered CBD, with few periods of wakefulness. Also CBD dosage was reported to impact dream recall patterns, reducing the effect of "tiredness" the next day.
CBD dosage is effective for sleep as it is known to reduce anxiety and depression: two of the main things that keep people up from sleeping. CBD improves overall sleep patterns and reduce insomnia, targeting sleep difficulties and wakefulness.
According to research, CBD dosage has been effective in treating insomnia in people who previously had difficulties falling asleep.
CBD produces calming effects on the brain of the person using it. This is because CBD reacts with many different receptors in the brain, activating them.
These activated receptors cause changes in the neurotransmitters activity in the brain, which send "calming and soothing" signals to the brain. Through this interactions and activations of neurotransmitters in the brain, the sleep-wake cycles are affected and the person takes less time to fall asleep.
As we have seen, CBD is effective in causing sleep but there is one thing to be kept in mind: CBD dosage in low amounts stimulates activity and alertness in the brain while larger doses causes sleep. The answer to the often-asked question of "does CBD make you sleepy?" therefore, lies in the amount of CBD dosage—in low doses it is stimulating, in high doses it is sedating.

YOUR-VOICE
Breaking down the culture of secrecy
sfitzgerald@couriertimes.com
The editorial board at the Bucks County Courier Times (The Intelligencer's sister paper) had a mostly pleasant conversation Wednesday with members of the Neshaminy School District community, including representatives from the administration, teachers and school board.
They wanted to get together to chat with us about the one-year contract they agreed to recently as a bridge to negotiate a longer-term deal next year. It was good to have a conversation with them about the reasons it made sense to have a short-term deal. They needed to build some trust among themselves and have some victories that worked in a framework that didn't raise taxes. The history of contentious negotiations in recent years made this step a logical one, as old wounds heal.
Everyone seemed happy with the deal, even if neither side got everything it wanted. They were smart enough to compromise on things they could, and wise enough to realize that holding up everything over a long-term compensation package they were just too far apart on didn't make sense.
I really appreciated their reaching out to us, and I think they are making a good-faith effort to communicate and be transparent with the community, including the newspaper.
The issue is that the group is mesmerized by the culture of secrecy that overrides dissemination of public information in Pennsylvania. The Right To Know Law enacted in 2009 was supposed to help bring Pennsylvania into a new age of transparency, and on some level it has helped. That was a really low bar to cross, though.
But the law has more holes than Swiss cheese, and public officials have all kinds of ways to keep citizens in the dark as long as possible, and often just wear them out to where they give up going after what they want.
The Neshaminy negotiations and contract settlement are simply a microcosm of that culture of secrecy. When we grilled the group about being far more public during the negotiation process, collectively the group seemed incredulous that we would expect that.
They talked about how other government bodies do the same thing and keep things close to the vest during the negotiating process, and that it would be easier to hold open negotiations if there were a state mandate for open negotiations.
Obviously, I'm in favor of that, but I also know the reality of that happening anytime soon is remote.
What public bodies don't seem to understand is that they are negotiating with our money, taxpayers' money. We have a stake in it — a big stake in it, both on the school and municipal level.
While it would be nice, our editorial board wasn't necessarily asking to sit in the room while negotiations take place. But we did challenge Neshaminy for not being more communicative with post-meeting updates for the public about where things stood and what issues were on the table.
All the public heard during negotiations is that they were ongoing. Then all of the sudden, it seemed, the deal was done, and a surprising one-year deal at that. Once we heard the explanation it made more sense, but it's hard to understand why the public couldn't be in the loop on that.
Nothing in state law prevents officials from opening up the process. And yes, I've heard over and over again that negotiations such as these never would happen in the private sector. That doesn't matter. This isn't the private sector. It's the public sector. With public money. With far too many incidents of corruption, backroom deals, nepotism and inflated costs that taint even the best-intentioned deals made, like this one. And before anyone reads anything into this, there is no way I'm suggesting anything shady about this deal.
Sure, the state Legislature could mandate open negotiations. And open agendas for public meetings. And a host of other transparency measures that could take the state out of the Dark Ages and shine light on how taxpayer money is spent.
The best way for this to happen is for leaders to recognize that being transparent is good politics, and that the public demands to know how the millions they pour into their communities are being spent. Don't wait for the state Legislature to do the dirty work. It's OK to let us know what's going on. We can take it.

NFL Op-Ed: More Diversity in Sports Medicine Can Improve Athletes' Health
As the National Football League begins another exciting season, players are once again relying on their club medical staffs to provide medical care and advice to stay healthy throughout the season.
A recent op-ed post from Dr. Lisa Barkley, associate dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Charles R. Drew University, and Dr. Timothy McAdams, head team physician for the San Francisco 49ers dove into the topic of increased diversity in the sports medicine field can improve athletes' overall health.
Below is an excerpt from the op-ed piece, as it appeared on NFL.com.
There is an ongoing lack of racial/ethnic diversity among sports medicine physicians, and the medical profession in the United States in general. In a 2021 study, 84.5 percent of physicians across American professional sports teams identified as white, while 8.4 percent identified as Asian, 5.8 percent identified as Black and 1.3 percent identified as Hispanic/Latino. Data from the American Association of Medical Colleges in 2021 shows that Black students comprise only 11.3 percent of the total medical school population in the U.S. and Hispanic/Latino students comprise 12.7 percent. These figures that have changed very little over the last 40 years.
We believe that improving diversity among professional team physicians has the potential to positively impact patient outcomes and patient experience. That is why the NFL, the National Football League Physicians Society (NFLPS) and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS) are working together to create a pipeline to expose diverse medical students to the field of sports medicine. This NFL season, 14 students from the nation's four HBCU medical schools will be embedded within NFL club medical staffs as the inaugural class of the NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiative.
The goal of this program is to expose medical students from HBCU medical schools to sports medicine mentors through clinical rotations with NFL teams. This experience will provide these students with the opportunity to work directly with team doctors and athletic trainers, observe and participate in the care of NFL players and forge lasting professional relationships with leaders in the field of sports medicine. By the end of the rotation, students will understand the basic elements of all facets of care provided to the professional athletes and will have a network of mentors that last far beyond their one-month clinical rotations. We believe this pipeline approach addresses a key root problem – the lack of access to sports medicine professional mentors – and can be replicated by other sports leagues, and in medical settings more broadly.

The NFL, its clubs, PFATS, the NFLPS and the four HBCU medical schools are all collaborating to bridge the diversity gap in sports medicine – not only because it's the right thing to do, but because ensuring that NFL medical staffs reflect the diversity we see in the league's player population can change lives for both the players and the medical professionals. We view this as an opportunity to lead, and make a real, direct impact on patient care among professional athletes, and the medical community more broadly.
The NFL Diversity in Sports Medicine Pipeline Initiative isn't a one-time, one-year program, but an ongoing, sustained commitment and therefore will have lasting effects. As the inaugural class of students arrives at NFL clubs, we are thrilled to see this program come to life and look forward to the bright future ahead for the program, for player care, and for sports medicine well beyond the NFL.

Any cat owner would know how hard and nearly impossible it is to get a cat to do anything you want. They are not easily trained pets unlike most dogs and due to this reason, you have to play your part in allowing your pet to be in a safe and sound place within your home. In the past while many cat owners simply neglected the safety and the well-being of their pets because there were no precautions they could take, this has luckily changed in the current age. There are many things you can do in order to create a safer spot at home for your cat to roam around without leaving your home! While cages are deemed cruel and mostly inhumane, enclosures are one of the best options you can try out because they really have no negative side to it at all. They can be installed easily with professional help and will allow your cats to experience a lot of benefits the minute they see it!
Cats were not initially meant to be domestic pets as they are predators and are supposed to live a wild life and even though this has slowly changed, most cats still need to be in touch with their wild side with nature. This is not something you can create from inside your home but with something like cat runs Sydney, you will find that it serves as a perfect natural habitat which will always be the closest thing to the real wild!
It is the perfect way to promote some kitty playtime!
As said earlier, you cannot get your cat to do something it does not want to do on its own and this is why it is sometimes hard to get your pets to play and enjoy their time the right way. With the perfect pet enclosures in your yard, built especially for your pet cats, you will find that it allows your cats to enjoy play time with their own free will! This is also going to allow them to stay happy with the life they have with you.
Cats cannot obviously bring themselves to stay in just one position as they always have to be on the move. This is not something they can afford to do inside a home or even within your garden but once you are able to install an enclosure or a run for them, it provides the best place for your cats to run around and rest anytime they want to.
Pets are lovable animals which normally take part in households to make their masters content in every form. They go through a lot on a daily basis and are usually showered with much love. So they are not ill-treated in any manner. Sometimes the pet owners need to go away on work or personal matters and may need to give their animals to another person's care. Pet boarding Ryde is all about this where the animals are given separate cages in order to stay until their owners come to pick them up.These places are usually very generous when it comes to treating these creatures like their own. All the cages are kept clean and maintained up to standard. All these are checked prior to keeping a pet under the care of such places.
luxury dog boarding Sydney goes a few steps further by giving all what is necessary to man's best friend. He is given the freedom he has in his own house while protecting him all the same. His safety comes first and foremost and there is nothing more important than that.You could give your lovable dogs away in such a manner when you have no other option left to do. It is of course natural that you have to take care of your life first in order to treat your four legged friend in a good way. So there is no need to feel guilty as there are many places you could trust on this regard.
Many people do come across these kind of situation and don't shy away from this method of protecting the animals they love so d early. This gives them a familiar feeling while not taking away their safety or freedom in any manner. It is absolutely necessary in the society today because of the busy lifestyle of each and every one. There may not be enough time to attend to every little detail and you may need some extra help in the form of these type of services. This is the sole reason for the existence of such services and you can trust on them entirely to take care of your lovable pet in the most adequate manner. It will not feel your absence in any way because it is treated that well. It will fee just like home in its comfortable cage or kennel, depending on the type of animal. Luxury treatment would be given in every form to make sure that it does not feel isolated or ignored at all either.
If you have a toddler at home, you must have realized how difficult it is to take care of them even if you have some extra help. In addition to the usual feeding and taking care of them, there is a lot more that you have to do in terms of ensuring their safety and wellbeing. If you are new to this whole thing you should not worry about anything as you are not alone regarding this issue. There are many options that you can use and ensure that you do what is best for your toddler. Read through this entire article and make sure that you have all your options in place. Here they are.
One of the best things you can do is to get a play pen made. A play pen is a square area in which you can put a mattress in so that you do not have to worry about your child crawling all over the place and getting injured. If you are really worried you can even have an https://www.derwenttraders.com.au/spider-insect-traps/raidar-pest-repeller-with-night-light around the play pen so that no strange creatures can come near your child. This way you do not have to worry much about the safety of your toddler. Ensure that you get this done soon.
Another option you have is to hire a nanny. If it is physically impossible for you to watch your child all the time if you have house work to do and especially if you are a working mother or father as well. Therefore, one of the options you have is to ensure that you hire a nanny for this purpose. You can instruct the nanny on things such as insect repellers and other things that the nanny may need to use in order to keep your toddler in a safe environment with no harm.
One other option you can use is to block all the unsafe places at home. For an instance, if you have open spaces like balcony's you might want to ensure that doors leading to these kinds of places are locked in a way that a toddler or a young child will not be able to open. This way you can be guaranteed of their safety.
The next option you have is to install CCTV camera's in the house. If you do this then you can keep an eye on your toddler even if you are not near the toddler at all times. Therefore, ensure that you get these CCTV cameras from a trusted source and company and get it connected to your phone as well. This way you will be assured of safety.
If you have a loving canine friend at your home or if you are planning to get one sometime soon, you will definitely pay attention to all the things that you need to do in order to make sure that they are comfortable, healthy and happy but will you also do equal work to find out the things that you should never do? Some of these mistakes can even cost your furry friend their health, safety and their life. When you open up your home to a canine, you become their world and they will be directly affected either negatively or positively by your actions. That is why you need to remember to never do these mistakes with your canine, ever.
A badly behaved and unruly puppy is not happy. If they were they would be listening to you and not causing so much trouble. Always adopt from a small age if possible and even if that is not the case, give them the right training from the start. It is very easy to get a Labrador for sale but if you do not give him or her the training that they need so that the boundaries they need are set, you will not have a friend who has a good temper and behavior. Instead, you will spend your time feeling like you ended up with the worst puppy in the world even when it is not their fault. Yelling, screaming, hitting and locking up your canine will damage the relationship between the both of you and make them scared of you. What you are looking for is right training with treats for positive behavior and punishment that is acceptable for their negative behavior.
It could be any breed that you have from west highland terrier puppies to bull mastiffs, you still have to feed them the right food so they can grow and be healthy while also avoiding unnecessary digestive system issues. Many food items that are completely fine for humans like grapes, onions, raisins, chocolates and macademia nuts are really unsuitable for canines and will make them ill. Also overfeeding your pet even with the right food items will cause them to become obese and eventually fall really ill. You should only feed them in the right amounts with the right type of food that is made for them and always keep an eye out for their weight.
You may think it is alright to leave your canine chained up outside during the onset of winter because it is not snowing yet and you still need that protection. Or you may think that they will be alright inside your heated up vehicle while you rush to the grocery store. They are not. Always only leave them in the right conditions and do not put their lives at risk.

Q: TypeError: responder.scrollResponderScrollTo is not a function In my React native expo project am facing issues with the IOS simulator and real IOS device. Actually am using React native: "0.65.1", and I tried 64.0, and 65.2 but no use.
The Error is
TypeError: responder.scrollResponderScrollTo is not a function. (In 'responder.scrollResponderScrollTo({
        x: x,
        y: y,
        animated: animated
      })', 'responder.scrollResponderScrollTo' is undefined)

after spending a few hrs I found out that this issue will come based on 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view' this npm but I haven't used it in my project. So how can we fix this issue

A: This is an open GitHub issue for react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view.
Suppose that you are using react-native 0.65.2, then you can fix this issue by updating react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view version 0.9.5.

A: Update the following code in the /node_modules/@codler/react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view/lib/KeyboardAwareHOC.js file line number 244.
scrollToPosition = (x: number, y: number, animated: boolean = true) => {
  const responder = this.getScrollResponder()
  if (!responder) {
    return
  }
  if (responder.scrollResponderScrollTo) {
    // React Native < 0.65
    responder.scrollResponderScrollTo({ x, y, animated })
  } else if (responder.scrollTo) {
    // React Native >= 0.65
    responder.scrollTo({ x, y, animated })
  }
  // responder && responder.scrollResponderScrollTo({ x, y, animated })
}

scrollToEnd = (animated?: boolean = true) => {
  const responder = this.getScrollResponder()
  if (!responder) {
    return
  }
  if (responder.scrollResponderScrollTo) {
    // React Native < 0.65
    responder.scrollResponderScrollTo({ x, y, animated })
  } else if (responder.scrollTo) {
    // React Native >= 0.65
    responder.scrollTo({ x, y, animated })
  }
  // responder && responder.scrollResponderScrollToEnd({ animated })
}
