Google launches Android 10, with Pixel phones first in line
By David Nield
Google launches Android 10, wi...
Android 10 has officially arrived
A dark theme is one of the major new features in Android 10
Android 10 also has the ability to put live captions over your videos
A week before we're expecting to see the new iPhones and iOS 13 officially launched by Apple, Google has pushed out the first complete, stable release of Android 10 (previously known as Android Q). Pixel phones are going to be first in line for the new mobile OS.
In a blog post, Google VP of Engineering Dave Burke outlined a few of the new features rolling out in Android 10 (we got a teaser of some of these back in May). There's a new system-wide dark mode, for instance, privacy settings have been tidied up a little, and apps can now be told to only access your location while they're running (just like on iOS).
Android 10 is more reliant on gestures, by default (how this is actually implemented will depend on the model and manufacturer of your Android phone). Swiping takes you forwards and backwards in apps, and brings up a list of recent apps, tasks that were previously handled by dedicated buttons.
One of the more impressive features on offer is Live Caption: Android 10 will attempt to leverage the power of Google's AI processing to bring up captions for videos on screen, in real time – just in case you can't turn the volume up (or have trouble hearing). The feature will even be available on your own videos, Google says, and even when you're offline.
Various existing features have been tweaked, too. The smart reply options that appear next to incoming messages now recognize Google Maps links and YouTube URLs, for example, and can take you to the relevant app, while any notification can be set to work silently (so it won't make your phone ring or buzz, and won't appear on your lock screen).
The OS also introduces official support for foldable phones and 5G connections, reflecting two of the innovations that have dominated the smartphone market in 2019. The Digital Wellbeing app has been added to as well, and now lets you set timers on websites you don't want to distract you for too long.
As usual there are a host of smaller improvements and modifications too, from a sound amplifier that makes audio clearer through headphones, to an automatic alert that warns you if moisture is detected in the USB port. Like iOS though, Android is such a mature operating system now that major innovations are becoming few and far between.
The big question is: when are you going to get it? As usual, Pixel phones are first in line, stretching all the way back to the original 2013 Pixel. Everyone else will have to wait for news from their device manufacturer – Nokia, OnePlus and LG were some of the phone makers involved in the Android Q beta program, so their devices might be seeing Android 10 sooner rather than later.

Victor Richard Lundula or Lundula Okoko Ta Mongo was a Congolese politician and soldier who served as the first Commander-in-Chief of the Armée Nationale Congolaise.

He was a civilian who had been a medical orderly in the Force Publique during the Burma campaign and was a tribal cousin of first Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. On 8 April 1953 he was promoted to second class senior nurse.

Lundula was promoted in one leap from sergeant-major to major general on the formation of the ANC. After the severe riots that followed (the beginning of the Congo Crisis), Lundula sought to intervene in several incidents, personally rescued some Europeans from harm and averted trouble wherever possible. In September 1960, when President Kasavubu deposed Lumumba as prime minister, Lundula was jailed for two months. At the end of November 1960 he was released and escaped to Stanleyville in the Eastern Province, and became Antoine Gizenga's military chief. In January 1962, Lundula imprisoned Gizenga in Stanleyville.

He died in the early 1980s.

The King of Marvin Gardens, The Shining, and Twin Falls
Bob Rafelson's The King Of Marvin Gardens (1972) is a bit of a bizarre film that sees Jack Nicholson and Scatman Crothers sharing the screen, as they do in The Shining (1980).
Indeed, Benjamin Sherman "Scatman" Crothers appeared in only four films with Jack Nicholson: The King of Marvin Gardens (1972), The Fortune (1975), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), and The Shining (1980). He was born, intriguingly, exactly 70 years to the day before The Shining was released, on May 23, 1910. Crothers is a JFK Resonator, as well. He died at the age of 76, exactly 23 years to the day, on November 22, 1986, after John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Also starring in The King of Marvin Gardens are Bruce Dern, Ellen Burstyn, and Julie Anne Robinson (pictured below). (For the plot of the movie, see here.)
Julia Anne Robinson was born on March 4, 1951 in Twin Falls, Idaho, USA. Besides playing Jessica in The King of Marvin Gardens (1972), the only other films she appeared in was A Fan's Notes (1972), as Bunny Sue, and a short film, Getting Straight (1970), uncredited.
After Marvin Gardens, Robinson was cast in a community play in Eugene, Oregon. While there, Robinson skipped a cast party and went home early. She died on April 13, 1975 in her motel room, from a fire.
Great confusion, in the sync-world, has arisen due to Robinson's birthplace being Twin Falls, Idaho, with a notion she might be part of the "Twin Peaks" realm of mystical thinking. In one biographical article, her birth was misgiven as "Twin Falls, Iowa."
In another article, which says Julia Anne Robinson died from falling asleep while she was smoking, her brother commented that, no, it was from an electrical mishap, instead.
In general, while the other stars went on to fame, the tragedy of The King of Marvin Gardens is the film is basically the end of the line for Robinson.

Major £13m rail upgrade to affect services from Nottingham
Passengers are urged to plan ahead
Joseph LockerDigital News Correspondent
An East Midlands train at Nottingham station
Rail services between Nottingham and Matlock will be disrupted during a £13million project to improve the railway in Derbyshire.
Ambergate junction, where the Matlock Line leaves the Midlands Main Line, will be moved 365 metres to the south in a bid to allow trains to travel through the area at higher speeds.
Network Rail, which will be conducting the work, will also be carrying out improvements to the signalling system and will install a new safety walkway for engineers to use when working on the tracks.
No trains will be able to run on the line between Matlock and Derby between Sunday February 10 and Saturday February 16.
Consequently, East Midlands Trains services will only operate between Nottingham and Derby, with replacement bus services taking passengers from Derby to Matlock.

Put your car knowledge to the test
East Midlands Trains services between Sheffield, Derby and London will also be affected, with no direct service from Sheffield and Chesterfield to Derby.
However, customers will be able to travel using CrossCountry trains.
CrossCountry services from Sheffield to Derby will stop at Chesterfield, and as the trains will need to follow a diversionary route, journey times will be increased by up to 30 minutes.
The work comes as the second phase to the project, and follows on from the £200million Derby resignalling project which improved the station at Derby and overall Midland Main Line.
Network Rail, East Midlands Trains and CrossCountry are urging passengers to plan ahead.
Jake Kelly, managing director for East Midlands Trains said: "The major work to renew Ambergate Junction will result in some changes to our services between Sheffield, Derby and London as well as services between Derby and Matlock.
"Although this means minor disruption for passengers at this time, the long term benefits will help to improve punctuality and reliability for passengers in the East Midlands."

Rob McIntosh, route managing director for Network Rail, said: "This work is a vital part of the Midland Main Line upgrade and will allow trains to travel at higher speeds through this area.
"This is the second phase of the project, having carried out a vast amount during the hugely successful Derby resignalling upgrade. However, the extent of the work means it needs to be done in two phases.
"We appreciate that changes to train services does cause disruption. We have worked closely with train operating colleagues to keep passengers moving and we thank them for their patience during this time.
"This work will mean we can continue to provide a railway which meets the needs of the communities and economies which our railway services and bring a more robust timetable for passengers in the years to come."

From Vision to Reality: The Transformation Begins!
Spring 2018 is just around the corner—and construction is about to begin on Phase One of our multiphase Campus Master Plan, which will transform our Wilmette Campus with a new state-of-the-art aquatic center, a gathering space inspired by the St. Ignatius Piazza in Rome and more.
As our spring groundbreaking approaches, we'd like to introduce you to the world-class architectural design and construction firms that will be helping us realize our bold vision of a vibrant Jesuit faith and education center for the 21st century.
After a rigorous review and selection process, we have joined forces with CannonDesign—an integrated global design firm with a dynamic team of architects, engineers and industry experts—and Valenti Builders, an award-winning construction management firm with a commitment to the values that are at the heart of our Jesuit mission.
"This is an exciting moment for the Loyola community as we begin to take the large-scale capital enhancements included in Phase One of our Campus Master Plan from concept to reality," notes Building and Grounds Committee Chair Peter J. Broccolo '74, who previously guided the development of Loyola's multiphase Campus Master Plan as chair of the Campus Master Planning Committee.
"CannonDesign understands how important good design is to the human experience—and to our school community," says Broccolo. "Their team of architects, designers, planners and engineers has been working since Fall 2017 to connect the school's mission and long-term vision to the designs for our new pool and piazza. Meanwhile, representatives from Valenti Builders are bringing their considerable expertise in preconstruction consulting and construction management to the table as they work with CannonDesign on project pricing, logistics and scheduling. We have great confidence in this team as we move into the final phases of preparation for the construction of the pool, piazza and other Phase One capital enhancements. But our work is far from done as we continue to seek support for these enhancements, as well as Phase Two enhancements such as a new theater for the performing arts."
CannonDesign—with a 100-year history of bold thinking and daring design that has earned the firm a coveted position on Fast Company's list of the world's top 10 most innovative architecture firms—is the perfect partner to bring our bold vision to life.
"Our top priority is to capture the spirit of Loyola Academy as we move through the design process for the new pool and piazza," says CannonDesign Vice President of Architecture Thomas M. Clune Jr., AIA. "Our overarching goals are to meet the needs of Loyola's students, athletes, families and the larger community while serving as careful stewards of the school's resources and creating innovative designs that reflect Loyola's distinctive Jesuit mission."
Mies van der Rohe once famously noted that "God is in the details"—a reference to the almost spiritual devotion to detail that is required to create architecture of lasting value. This philosophy—which is very much in keeping with our Jesuit philosophy of doing more and becoming more for the greater glory of God—is driving the CannonDesign team as it puts the finishing touches on designs for our new aquatic center and piazza.
"Plans currently in design for the aquatic center include an eight-lane 'Stretch 25,' multi-use pool with a separate diving well and two one-meter springboards, which will allow simultaneous swimming and diving practices and faster transitions between swimming and diving events during competitive meets," reports CannonDesign Chicago Design Principal Robert Benson, the lead designer for our Phase One capital enhancements. "This will be a 'fast pool,' with wide lanes and flush-to-the-deck gutters. A moveable bulkhead will enable Loyola to host water polo games and championship swim meets in faster, all-deep water and allow swimmers to warm up and cool down in the diving area before and after their events. Wide deck areas around the pool will make competitive events more efficient and comfortable for participants and officials. The pool will also accommodate numerous recreation and instructional programs."
Our new pool will be housed in a bright and airy two-story natatorium with advanced mechanical systems designed to ensure optimal indoor air quality, a suite of locker rooms with separate team and physical education locker areas, a coaches' office, a wet classroom adjacent to the pool area and a 294-seat spectator gallery with retractable bleachers that will enable Loyola swimming and diving coaches and physical education teachers to repurpose the gallery level as a dry classroom between swimming and diving meets.
As this $12.4 million pool and natatorium project makes the transition from vision to reality, we will also be completing our$1 million piazza project, expanding our on-campus parking, rerouting our drop-off and pickup lanes to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on side streets, installing new stormwater detention systems, updating our directional signage and beautifying our campus with landscape borders and buffers.
Valenti Builders' Senior Superintendent Daniel A. Nowak '83 has been on site at Loyola Academy since December 1, 2017, familiarizing himself with school operations and traffic-flow patterns.
"Dan Nowak has been working on what we call 'campus continuity,' which entails a thorough review of the way that Loyola staff and students currently use the campus," explains Valenti Builders President Daniel J. Valenti '01. "This will enable us to ensure that the campus will continue to function normally once construction begins. We have been working with Loyola Academy day in and day out as we finalize a construction logistics and phasing plan that puts safety first and minimizes the impact of construction on school and student activities, parking and traffic flow."
According to Valenti Project Manager Jack Scapin '98, the first signs of construction will be visible in late May as the school year draws to a close.
"We plan to complete the general site work—which includes the reconfiguration of the school's drop-off and pickup lanes to ease traffic congestion, new asphalt parking lots with additional spaces, new stormwater detention systems and new campus lighting and landscaping—before students return to campus in August 2018 for the start of the academic year," he notes. "Construction on the pool and piazza will commence in June 2018, with an anticipated completion date of August 2019."
"Our goal is to serve the Loyola community by delivering state-of-the-art facilities while driving schedule, quality and value," says Valenti. "We're really in a unique position. The majority of our key team members walked the halls of Loyola as students. It's not very often that a project team has the opportunity to serve an institution that has served us and our families so well. This is a personal, special project for our team and our firm."
Watch for more news about our Spring 2018 groundbreaking and Phase One construction progress—as well as fundraising for our planned theater for the performing arts and other Phase Two capital enhancements—in the weeks and months to come.

Are Big Dogs Smarter Than Small Dogs?
09/20/2018 by Cuteness Team
September 20th, 2018 by Cuteness Team
Dogs as a species are incredibly diverse in size. There are tiny dog breeds, gigantic dog breeds, and everything in between. A dog's size affects its health, and usually plays a part in determining a dog's lifespan. But some people have wondered if the effects of size go deeper than that: Can a dog's size predict its intelligence?
Types of dog intelligence
How do we measure intelligence in dogs? It's a difficult question. In his book The Intelligence of Dogs, psychology professor Stanley Coren breaks it into three categories:
Instinctive Intelligence: a dog's ability to perform the tasks it was bred for (herding, retrieving, guarding).
Adaptive Intelligence: a dog's ability to solve problems on its own.
Working and Obedience Intelligence: a dog's ability to learn from human's and perform on command. (Coren notes that this type of intelligence is the type most people seem interested in, and the type of intelligence that dog obedience trials measure.)
Coren sent a series of questionnaires to the American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club obedience trial judges, asking them to rank dog breeds by performance.
Based on the 199 complete sets of responses he received, Coren created a chart.
credit: Stanley Coren via Psychology Today
The chart shows medium to large dogs ranking as the most intelligent, with intelligence dropping off in both very small and very large dogs.
Can size really predict intelligence?
To be clear, The Intelligence of Dogs is not regarded as immutable truth. In Coren's own words, the book "received a lot of media attention and scientific commentary, both pro and con" when it was first published. But, assuming he is onto something, what could account for the relationship between size and intelligence in dogs?
In his article for Psychology Today, Coren brings up Theodosius Dobzhansky, a behavior geneticist and evolutionary biologist. Dobzhansky says that evolution favors the middle of a population. In other words, individual animals at the extremes are never as well-adapted as the animals with "average" characteristics.
We also have to take into account that humans tend to treat small dogs differently than they treat large dogs. It's entirely possible that the way we treat our dogs has a bearing on the types of intelligence Coren tested for. For example, we have a tendency to forgive behaviors in small dogs that we reprimand in large dogs, such as jumping or barking. This phenomenon even has a name: small dog syndrome. A dog's experiences with its owners could affect how the dog performs in such a test, especially in the area of "working and obedience intelligence."
Does brain size affect a dog's intelligence?
It's tempting to theorize that brain size plays a part in a dog's intelligence. Much fuss has been made about whether brain size — both overall, and relative to body size — is an accurate predictor of intelligence. Humans, historically, have wanted to believe that a large brain relative to body size equates to a more intelligent species. Why? Because that would mean we, as a species, are geniuses. However, it's simply not true: brain size has very little to do with intelligence.
Alexandra Horowitz, author of the book Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know, points out that the brain of a wolf-sized dog is roughly 30 percent smaller than the brain of its ancestor, the gray wolf. Does that mean that the domesticated dog of today is less smart than its ancestor? Horowitz doesn't think so: "When the mere gaze from the dewy eyes of a member of this species causes you to get up from the couch, repair to the refrigerator and retrieve a hunk of cheese for your charge—well, you tell me who is smarter."
So, what was their conclusion?
Professor Coren's research suggests that medium to large sized dogs are the most "intelligent," based on the three intelligence categories he used in the study. However, those categories are limited, and his research was based on questionnaires from obedience trial judges, who are human and thus subject to biases. Additionally, many factors in a dog's life, both genetic and environmental, could contribute to its intelligence. We don't have nearly enough evidence to definitively say that size affects intelligence one way or the other.

Sousaphone, guitar and washboard, enhanced by tin cans and hotel desk bell?
It's not your usual musical lineup.
But in some respects, The Tin Men is a classic trio. The guitar functions as a midrange instrument producing melody and rhythm; the washboard provides percussion; and sousaphone, a portable version of the tuba, supplies the bottom end.
"Yeah, just like Cream," said "Washboard" Chaz Leary, referring to the 1960s power trio with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.
"It's just a little different from what people are used to," added singer-guitarist Alex McMurray. "We don't let that stop us. We do whatever music strikes our fancy.
For The Tin Men's fourth album, "On the Shady Side," the guys fancied local standards they perform every Wednesday night at d.b.a on Frenchmen Street.
The Tin Men recorded and pressed "On the Shady Side" in time to sell the album in Switzerland in June.
Because staging an album-release party in New Orleans during the slow summer months isn't good marketing, The Tin Men waited till this month to do it.
Rather miraculously, The Tin Men has existed with the same membership since 2002. Before they were Tin Men, McMurray and sousaphonist Matt Perrine were members of Royal Fingerbowl. The since-disbanded Fingerbowl, a vehicle for McMurray's songs, drew national attention in the 1990s.
Near the end of Fingerbowl's run, Leary began sitting in with Royal Fingerbowl at the band's weekly gig at The Matador. And then Leary and Perrine began separately sitting in with McMurray during his weekly solo residency at The Circle Bar. One night, Leary and Perrine simultaneously sat with McMurray.
Leary, who moved to New Orleans in 2000 from Kansas City, Missouri, previously worked with a tuba during his many years in Boulder, Colorado.
While The Tin Men carry on at d.b.a. and other gigs, Leary continues leading his Washboard Chaz Blues Trio and performing with another resident d.b.a. band, Palmetto Bug Stompers; McMurray pursues his solo work and a busy schedule of backing local singers; and Perrine, who also plays upright bass, performs with Bonerama and many other artists and groups.

Ive got a reactive rescue terrier cross who shares my apartment and life. Had him for 5 years now, and he's always loved napping anywhere. He likes to be close to people and has never been crate trained.
Recently he's started chilling out under my bed, and now he has started sleeping under there instead of his bed (or at the foot of my bed) – at what point should I worry about this behaviour (if at all) – or potentially start turning this into crate training?

Freedom For Porn-Addicted Women – Part 2
Art vs. Porn
5 Unexpected Ways Christians Sexually Objectify Women
Is Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner Now a Woman?
Published August 19, 2018 | By PastorDavidMCAG
[Do not begin Part Two of this article without having read Part One (click here). That first section covers several reasons a woman might develop a porn problem and how her personal identity can be misshapen by the addiction.]
Opening the Door to Your True Identity
It's basic physiology that an orgasmic response is functional in the male and female bodies of many animals. But the animal bodies of humans have an amazingly elevated status in creation. We surpass all other creatures, including angels, because we embody the image of the Creator. While a sex drive and the capacity for sexual enjoyment are parts of our total selves, our personally integrated self-image finds fulfillment only in reflecting the One whose image we bear. In that divine reflection alone can we realize our true value and true identity as individuals and as a race. The modern church isn't silent about the porn epidemic. But it fails both society and its many porn-addicted members by ignoring the human body's crucial role in imaging God. That neglect is behind the many religious attempts to fight porn with woman-unfriendly solutions based on body shame. Yet the Bible's first and foremost adjectives used for describing God's image are not theological or psychological terms but physical ones: "male and female." Because Christians—when it comes to women's bodies—have generally avoided the practical implications of this divine revelation, I believe God let prophetic voices outside the church have the floor. It may shame us to say so, but those who unconsciously use His principles to denounce pornography are most often feminists.
Feminist lecturers are notorious for being the loudest and most outspoken in lambasting our culture for demeaning and exploiting women by reducing them to female body parts. They urge women to rebel against this sexualization—to toss the script that has them playing the role of society's sex toys. When feminists exhort women to see themselves wholistically—finding their self-worth in the valuable persons they truly are, not in cultural or religious patterns that treat them as sexual objects—they are unconsciously preaching God's truth. Why do women who hear and heed this part of the feminist message find freedom? Because the truth sets people free. Humanity's "final frontier" isn't to explore the cosmos but to discover who we really are. From childhood to old age, the search for personal identity is life's grandest quest. Only in a personal relationship with "I AM" Exod 3:14), who created us as His image-bearers, can the question "Who am I?" be fully answered. New birth in Christ, who is "the express image of [God's] person," (Heb 1:3) begins the resolution of our cosmic identity crisis. But growth in Christ means learning to have His "mind" (Phil 2:5) toward others, who also bear God's image. If we are putting others—like porn-models—ahead of ourselves (Phil 2:3), we won't be profiting from their degradation but praying for their deliverance. Practicing Christ's attitude of self-denial brings a market-crash to pornography, because the economy of porn is totally driven by self-interest.
Closing the Door on a False Identity
A false self-image translates into a false lifestyle. Eve took forbidden fruit because it seemed edible, pretty, and prestigious (Gen 3:6). It promised a world of physical, visual and personal satisfaction. But in warning us about gaining "the whole world" and losing our souls, Jesus said, "Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it," (Mat 16:25). By living in surrender to "the mind of Christ," we lose only our false selves, which have been either squeezed or stretched to fit worldly patterns. In union with Jesus alone we find our true selves, our full humanity.
The porn-addicted woman's freedom comes by living out her true identity in God, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Our human self-understanding comes from being created in the imago Dei. Male and female porn addiction, and the porno-prudery that fuels it, will persist until we mentally abandon the sexually objectified view of the human body taught by our upbringing. God's evaluation of our naked embodiment—as His "very good" divine image and sacred temple—must reign supreme in our minds and hearts. A divine perspective on human anatomy and sexuality also calls us to a Creator-honoring view of masturbation. Because almost all porn addiction includes a collateral addiction to self stimulation, porn-addicted men and women hoping to find freedom need to evaluate this controversial issue cautiously but realistically. In closing the door on a false identity, the true self in Christ must dismiss the idea that retaining an obsession is essential for emotional survival. But many cycle through transient hope and recurring guilt from a unilateral condemnation of masturbation that isn't found in Scripture. I believe that a more realistic understanding of the body's sexual physiology may facilitate closure with this obsessive habit. One danger described by Jesus is mental "adultery" (Mat 5:28). To "look lustfully" is an activity of the imagination. In an imitative way, masturbation spurred by lustfully visualized or fantasized human images implies this mental sin of adultery. Objectifying the imago Dei, even if only imaginatively, is not part of our Christian identity but a latent habit typical of the false self. Shut the door on it. But open a door on realism. In Christ, we remain physiological beings. God's created the mechanics of orgasmic function to include periodic discharges of the sex drive for our sense of well-being. This psycho-physical urge is often met by nocturnal orgasms. But when marital union is absent or orgasmic dreams fail, is it right to wallow in legalistic guilt for manually addressing this God-designed need? As "male and female" in God's image, we must live out our physiology whether or not our genitals serve their procreative and conjugal purposes. Accepting our sexual identities means thanking God for the dynamics of orgasmic function. When a physiological build-up peaks, why call its manual release a "glitch" or a "sin," when we should be praising God for our "fearfully and wonderfully made" bodies? But when someone claims to need masturbation daily or imagines its release must be assisted with pornographic images or lustful fantasies, it's clear the deceitful false self is still in control.
Conclusion: a New Way of Seeing
Men can quit their pornographic game of solitaire by ceasing to treat the female body as a self-gratifying sexual commodity. Women who gamble at the same table can find freedom by no longer treating their bodies as slot machines for pleasure-coins minted by the porn industry. There's no jackpot of authentic self-esteem won with porn's "play-money." Women must stop selling themselves short of their true value as sexually embodied persons. Also, they must strongly resist those voices that sexually objectify their femininity, even if they resound from otherwise respected and honored pulpits. In a complete change of mind (metanoia, the Biblical word for repentance), a porn-addicted woman must learn to see and treat her body as a "temple" of the Holy Spirit, "fearfully and wonderfully made" in the image of her Almighty Creator. Her sexuality and its powerful drives are part of that holy temple and image. In that divine identity alone lies her freedom from porn addiction. This closing poem conveys my strong feelings about the nature of our gender-distinctive bodies as God's sacred territory. It is perhaps my most impassioned rebuke to society and religion for objectifying women, whose bodies were meant to reflect their Maker.
She is woman . . . and much abused: Her lovely womb and breasts and buttocks were infused With sordid meaning, twisted thought, By vain imagination packaged, sold, and bought. A wayward culture holds her chain, And even sermons preach the sex-obsessed refrain That turns her body parts and skin Into ignition points for carnal lust and sin. Yet in her flesh, along with man, She bears the image of the Maker's master plan For a Self-portrait, so designed That in their bodies they declare His holy mind. God's leadership and strength is shown In shoulder breadth and muscle, for which men are known. But women's wombs, that swell for birth, Reflect God's own heart pregnant with creation's worth. And in their breasts, where babies feed, We see the nurture from God's bosom humans need. These signs laid bare in wholesome light Should launch our souls to praise God's glory at the sight. She is woman. . . . Lord, set her free To be the temple You intended her to be. And let Your church repent her rape, By calling lewd the beauty of her shape. Since in her flesh You wish to dwell, Lord, damn these lies that make her form a path to hell. David L. Hatton, 12/31/2009 (from Poems Between Birth and Resurrection© 2013) Just as this poem expresses my heart's true prayer, I pray this article reveals the truth that can set you free. Your freedom must begin with Jesus—the Truth Who is a Person and Who makes us God's children by new birth. That freedom continues as Christ's view of the body and of human sexuality affirms the sacred, gender-distinctive embodiment of both yourself and others. Believing, adopting and applying His view of reality will close your account with pornography's fantasy world. God's grace through the Holy Spirit is ever-present to support your decision to embrace His truth, and the pastoral team at MCAG are here to assist in whatever way we can.
Pornography was never simply a male problem. It's always affected women by misrepresenting them as sex objects for men's enjoyment. It often robs them of intimacy with husbands whose porn addiction has stifled marital affection. But female sex drives are just as susceptible to misdirection as those of men. In our sex-obsessed culture, women increasingly fall prey to porn's allurement. Rather than rehearse the latest statistics about female addiction to porn, I want to offer in Part One of this article some insights on its causes. In Part Two I will explain the hope for its cure. While My Chains Are Gone was created for male readers, it's very woman-friendly, helping both men and women gain a godly perspective on body acceptance. A review of its core articles might help with grasping this one, especially my own two contributions, because
"The Pornographic View of the Body" is a foundational for "Pornography Addiction." Porn's sexual self-gratification comes at the cost of objectifying other human beings. Without this objectification of persons, pornography loses its fundamental tool for sustaining the sexual fantasy that supports a viewer's self-gratifying thrill.
Depersonalized, Then Commercialized
In good mental health, all aspects of a person are integrated. God's plan of salvation and sanctification targets our "whole spirit and soul and body" (1 Thes 5:23). When bare bodies are objectified, it isolates them from the people who live in them. Also, disassociating gender-distinctive body parts from their owner fails to treat them as true components of personal identity. It reduces men and women to something less than their full humanity. Such a reduction is the essential groundwork for pornography's success. While God created us "male and female" for the purpose of reproduction (Gen 1:27-28a), He also designed our reproductive anatomy to offer mutual pleasure during sexual intercourse. God blessed us with this orgasmic gift to enhance relational communion between spouses. But this physiological capacity works before marriage and beyond reproductive purposes. This means coitus can be immorally misused outside the marital bond and the orgasmic function immorally abused through pornographic fantasies. Just as objectification isolates the body from the person, so pleasurable sexual activity can become disassociated from divine intentions. This rift—between sexual thrill-seeking and God's plan for wedded love—commercializes sexuality, turning it into a form of promiscuous pleasure-shopping. Porn is profitable only because sex sells. Objectified sexual thrill is its currency.
The Way In . . . But Why Stay In?
Because secrecy surrounds involvement in pornography, some porn-addicted women believe they are alone or in a shameful minority: "Only bad girls, like me, get into such a 'filthy' habit." Others may assume their stories are identical to those of all others who get hooked on pornography. But just as men get drawn into porn in a variety of ways, so do women. My research leads me to believe that most women who presently struggle with porn will resonate with at least one or more of the following scenarios.
Some girls started out merely trying to satisfy natural, childhood curiosity. When families and churches failed to provide safe, wholesome avenues for familiarity with nonsexual human nudity, these girls checked out the Web. There, the porn industry filled this educational void from its own twisted agenda. With the ongoing help of pornography, a legitimate fascination with God's magnificent artistry in the human body gradually morphed into fantasizing forbidden activities on the devil's playground. Nothing in creation surpasses the grace and glory revealed in the embodiment of God's image. But pornography uses the awesomely handcrafted beauty in the naked human body as a hook, distorting its glory-filled reflection, perverting its sacred display, and effectively blocking godly thoughts about it. Once captured by porn's false image of our gender-distinctive anatomy, girls raised in prudish and legalistic environments may see no hope of escape. The shame of their sinful habits—especially when erroneously labeled as "only a male problem"—walls off any hope for help from church leaders whose unreal assumptions merely fan the flames of their shame.[1] Sometimes it was youthful self-exploration that led adventurous girls from pleasant sensations of self-stimulation into compulsive habits associated with porn. God's marital reason for creating the pleasure of orgasms is not canceled by their misuse. Whether they come from coitus or from masturbation, their divine design includes an elevated brain-chemical "high" that begs repeating:
Orgasm releases a dopamine-oxytocin high that has been compared to a heroin hit, and many regular users of internet porn report experiencing an almost trance-like effect that not only makes them feel oblivious to the world, but also gives them a sense of power that they don't have in real life. "The PC becomes an erogenous zone. The more you keep trying to put porn out of your mind, the more it keeps popping back in. The brain then learns that porn is the only way to cope with anxiety. . . ." [2]
While both men and women may use pornographic images as fantasy-support for masturbation, most men can manually induce a climax without visual stimulus. Some women seek an imaginative narration beyond the visual in order to supplement their stimulation. One woman privately confided to me:
". . . it's generally very important to have some kind of story or text – just pictures don't usually do anything for me, at least. And that makes it nigh impossible to masturbate without fantasizing or using porn to provide that mental component. . . . So while men may be able to orgasm just from the physical act of masturbation, I think women in general will find that far more difficult, and that greatly limits our ability to relieve our sex drives."
When a repetitive neuro-chemical reward is coupled with a woman's heightened need for the fantasy inherent in porn, she may feel helpless in trying to break free from her addiction. Another sad scenario is where a girl's first experience with nudity was that of having her own body sexually assaulted. Childhood's defenseless submission to such degrading abuse can cause her to grow up feeling "dirty," worthless, never again "normal." But if she finds her past sexual trauma visually glamorized in pornography, the discovery might distort her memory by reinterpreting reality: "See! My experiences were typical, expected, even desirable." This can make their porn habit a temporary "feel-good" salve to soothe the hurt of old wounds that become repressed while growing deeper. Or worse, that same girl might have falsely identified with her abuse: "Just like these girls in the videos, I gravitate toward this crap! I'm one of them!" Past sexual trauma, present sexual sin, or even the continuation of watching porn itself—while realizing its wrongness—can perpetuate her sense of defilement. She may hide this falsely adopted self-identity beneath the personal facade of "a normal girl." Yet this carefully constructed social mask may actually be more her than her unhealed self is willing or able to believe. A woman might have been misled to feel religious shame for even having a strong sex drive—a trait mistakenly preached as only characterizing men. Sadly, this religious error may push her toward involvement with porn as a dysfunctional way to confirm her guilt-ridden self-concept: "It's my curse . . . I'm so messed up, it can't be fixed!" Because of such self-deprecating thoughts, porn usage may serve as an indirect form of self-punishment, which a girl imagines she deserves for what she feel is her "oversexed" disposition. This shame factor might also be connected to a fear of intimacy. Imaginary individuals are less threatening than real persons. A sex object comes without the personal expectations of a living subject. Fantasy-lust and cyber-sex require none of the demanding work of a real relationship, like the one sealed in a for-better-or-worse marriage vow between two strong personal wills. The porn addict is seemingly on her own, in control. No need to fear conflict, failed performance, lack of acceptance, venereal diseases, unintended pregnancies, and all the other messy risks that self-sex is able to avoid. But porn's promise is a lie: the sexual autonomy it offers is a ploy that eventually puts porn in the driver's seat. I've also known women whose first exposure to porn was through boyfriends who had them watch sex-ploitation videos to see how other girls performed the popular perversions. Emotionally duped into thinking, "This is how to win and keep his affection," they began emulating the persona of submissive girls portrayed by porn stars. The unconscious result of this repetitive role-playing was to adopt the mindset of the script. The role itself took over, giving her a new self-image. She became the star of a distorted drama played out on a stage of sexual props with porn as the director.
Your Investment in Female Depreciation
It's obvious to all porn-addicted women, as well as to everyone else, that these pornographic portrayals are grossly demeaning to females. The girls involved are being virtually raped, often violently. So, what's the kickback? Where's the remuneration? There must be a takeaway. Otherwise, why did so many women devour the erotic "bondage" novel 50 Shades of Grey, turning it into a bestseller and making its movie-version a 500-million-dollar blockbuster? Beyond investing in the porn-drama for orgasmic excitement, a woman can find in porn's objectified sexual thrill a kind of mental cash-flow. Even if she knows her body isn't the "eye candy" showcased by porn-models, her equipment still works in the pleasure-market. The more she buys stock in pornography's monopoly game, the more she gains imaginary sexual leverage, a mental form of sexual clout, validated by its orgasmic payoff. Because porn advertises her value in a consumer-relationship with men, tapping into that evaluation becomes an emotional "fix," a shot of self-confidence, a reassurance of power in porn's fictional economy. But her rewards are as fictitious as the treasures won in a role-playing computer game. Contemplate carefully the full impact of this repeating cycle. The porn addict transfers a young model's deposit of lost personal dignity into her own account as a stimulating sexual dividend. For this transaction to work without realistically falling apart, the porn model must never be seen as a real person with normal desires and emotions. She must remain an object, a tool, a trade-commodity. Banish the thought that she might be a troubled teen, a high school drop-out, or a single mom selling her body like a prostitute to make ends meet. The addict's mind must stay self-absorbed, focused on self-gratification, until the episode plays out to its literal climax. And the mental block must continue even after the session ends, or guilt from the porn addict's lack of compassion will only add to the pain of emotional emptiness left by pornography's aftermath. For women caught up in this depressing game, porn has already determined their net worth in terms of their body parts. They watch men seemingly control the commerce, but they get to treat their own bodies as the sought-after merchandise. Although they must watch nameless girls become objects for sexual consumption, they can make a short-term profit from this arrangement by temporarily joining it, imagining themselves a part of the show. But participation in that fantasy—either to release tension by an orgasmic high or to replenish an emotionally diminished sexual ego—has a long-term downside: the porn-addicted woman spends her true self-worth on imaginary relational assets which are totally worthless in real life.

Nikolaus Schmidt-Küntzel (* 20. Januar 1606 in Rothenacker; † 26. Juni 1671) war ein deutscher Landwirt. Er wurde der gelehrte Bauer genannt, weil er sich selbst 15 Sprachen beibrachte, eine erstaunliche Allgemeinbildung hatte und neben seiner landwirtschaftlichen Tätigkeit Kalender veröffentlichte.

Leben und Wirken

Kindheit und Jugendzeit
Nikolaus Schmidt-Küntzel war Sohn des Bauern Johann Martin Schmidt und seiner Gattin Katharina, geb. Kändler. Er wuchs auf in Rothenacker an der Dorfstraße, die nach Mißlareuth führt, in einem Bauernhof mit einem Fachwerkhaus. Der Hof war mit Wirtschaftsgebäuden umgeben. Das Dorf Rothenacker war damals auch schon ein Grenzdorf zu Sachsen. Die Bauernfamilie Schmidt soll begütert gewesen sein. Den Beinamen Künzel erhielt der Sohn vom Großvater. Trotz geordneter familiärer bäuerlicher Verhältnisse wuchs der Junge bis zum 16. Lebensjahr ohne Schulbildung auf. Er war eben ein Landjunge in einem Dorf ohne Schule, besonders Hütejunge, wie es damals oft üblich war. Er lernte weder lesen noch schreiben, obwohl sein Onkel Kändler Schreiber war. Als er 16 Jahre alt war, stellte der Vater einen jungen Knecht ein, der lesen und schreiben konnte.

Der Autodidakt
Vom ABC-Buch des genannten Jungknechts lernte er das Lesen und Schreiben sehr schnell, weil er eine gute Auffassungsgabe besaß. Er lernte die lateinische Hand- und Druckschrift und auch die Sprache, weil sie in der Kirche als Amtssprache genutzt wurde. Auch der Onkel Kändler stand ihm nun zur Seite. Der Schullehrer aus Mißlareuth schenkte Nikolaus einen Katechismus in deutscher, lateinischer, griechischer und hebräischer Sprache. Das war nun für den genialen Kopf der Grund, auch Griechisch und Hebräisch zu lernen. Das führte so weit, dass er im Laufe der Zeit 15 Sprachen beherrschte.

Es sind die weiteren Sprachen:
 Chaldäisch
 Syrisch
 Arabisch
 Äthiopisch
 Abessinisch
 Indisch
 Armenisch
 Ägyptisch
 Persisch
 Türkisch

Schmidt besorgte sich im Laufe der Zeit auf Messen in Hof und Leipzig sowie im Buchhandel, bei Lehrern und Pastoren entsprechende Literatur zur Vertiefung des erlernten Wissens. Der vogtländische Adlige Christoph von Waldenroth unterstützte ihn und ließ ihn in seine Bibliothek. Er ging auch in öffentliche königliche Bibliotheken nach Dresden und in die fürstliche nach Schleiz.

Überliefert sind auch seine außergewöhnlichen Kenntnisse in Geografie, Musik, "Arzney-Kunde", "Wetter-Kunde", "Stern-Kunde" und in der für einen damaligen Kalendermacher selbstverständlichen Astrologie.

Ergebnis seines Wissens und Könnens
Deutsche Gelehrte und Fürsten wurden auf Schmidt aufmerksam. Der Herzog von Sachsen-Weimar wollte den 27 Jahre alten Könner einstellen. 1645 sollte er vom Kurfürsten Johann Georg I. nach Dresden berufen werden. 1653 veröffentlichte er den Schmidt-Küntzel'schen Schreibkalender, der bis in das 18. Jahrhundert gedruckt wurde. Mit den Erlösen des Kalenders konnte er seine Bauernwirtschaft wieder stabilisieren.

Privatleben
Im Jahre 1637 starb sein Vater. Er ehelichte Elisabeth Schmidt aus Rothenacker und übernahm die väterliche Wirtschaft. Seine Frau gebar neun Kinder, davon fünf Söhne. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg wurde 1643 sein Hof geplündert und die stattliche Bibliothek verbrannt. Nach 1661 erkrankte er und war zehn Jahre bettlägerig.

Rezeption
 In der DDR hat eine LPG seinen Namen getragen. Heute trägt die Güterverwaltung Nikolaus Schmidt AG, Tanna – Standort Rothenacker diesen Namen.
 Schmidt-Küntzels Wohnhaus ist heute ein Museum.

The week from the 13th to the 19th March 2017 the Italian NGO Vicolocorto hosted in Pesaro participants of "First ADR Kit" on the Seminar on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Youth Work. This project was born thanks to the cooperation of five countries, Poland, Estonia, Italy, Norway and United Kingdom, and it aims at designing new methods and professional tools to promote mediation and dispute resolution techniques into youth education all around Europe.
The first phase of the project that took place in Worcester (UK) was mostly theoretical, whereas this second phase in Pesaro was meant to implement everything participants had previously learned. The atmosphere was positive, energetic and creative from the first moment. Participants met again 6 months after the first meeting and the activities and the Italian sun contributed to their well-being throughout the process.
From the beginning it was clear that they all wanted to challenge themselves and try to concretely create new tools to use, in order to give back what they had learned. We can say that their enthusiasm was contagious. From the beginning every country had its chance to express their opinions and share ideas. Everyone shared with the plenary the good practices they had already started to put into practice in their associations, and it was clear that they all thought this wasn't enough, they still needed a lot of hard-work and a pretty full week in order to create something innovative and valuable.
You could feel their brains working, their commitment and their desire to create to inspire others.
Day by day the participants were getting more and more tired because of their devotion to the project, but also more and more satisfied of their creative process. The aim of this second phase of the project was primarily the designing of 10 educational workshops on the topics covered by ADR. Participants from each country had to create 2 workshops and all the workshops had to be tested and evaluated by the whole group. The days dedicated to the workshop planning were really intense because every country was focused on its task.
The best part of the week was indeed the delivery of the workshops. Participants managed to create something inspiring that could be applied in several different contexts, and applied to different target groups. The feedback that were given was really constructive and helped to improve the methods and tools that were used. In this part of the project, cooperation was particularly crucial, every and each one has something to give and share with the others. The workshops were all very different, some used role-play, some used games, some were delivered on the beach, some others required costumes. What they all had in common was the detailed study of one or more peculiar and important aspect of conflict resolution.
Beside the workshops, the seminar also aimed at realizing and testing simulation and educational games that could be applied in the context of ADR. Everyone was really surprised by how useful games can be – they are engaging, flexible and fun to play with. Of course, there's a lot of work behind its designing, that's why the group started first with a brainstorm regarding what they already knew about games and about their purposes. Then participants continued to work on ideas to create new ones or to adjust the already existing ones.
The Norwegian group had the opportunity to run a session to show practically how simulation games can be used in the context of conflict resolution. The one they introduced was called "Mission Z: one last chance" and they had designed it in a previous project. Everyone engaged curiously and participated. That was a good way to show how to design a simulation game and how it could work in different contexts.
This was for sure a very intense week, that brought to the conclusion of the second phase of the project. If we had to resume the whole seminar with three words, that would be for sure inspiration, cooperation and creativity.

behind the story: Ken Zhu
ojpy / July 15, 2012
(This is part of the series on behind-the-scenes while covering celebrities.)
Yes, there is life after F4.
It's been more than a decade when four unknown guys took Asia by storm and our pop culture was never the same again. Before Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Zhu and Van Ness Wu, pop culture was still more domestic than across borders. But Meteor Garden changed that, catchy cheeky theme song, bad hair and fashion aside.
At the height of their popularity, I dreamed of going to Taipei with my friends and wished I could interview the guys. There is this oft-told story among my friends on how three of us "gate-crashed" the airport coverage so we could just see Jerry and Vic when they went to Manila once.
A confession: I'm a journalist who often covers politics and economy, but truth be told, I enjoy entertainment coverage more.
Last year, that wish came true. Ken became the second F4 I'd interview (Jerry was first and Van Ness on the same day I did the Ken interview).
The story appeared on AsiaNews and The China Post on May 11.
The journey to that interview was initially smooth but when Ken's manager started imposing conditions–that are par for the course–I started to have a really bad feeling about this considering that Ken does not really have a pleasant image to start with. Even his fans would admit that he's snooty and I have read enough stories of him telling the paparazzi off.
What stuck to my mind was how his management was very particular with how he looks. This was not really a surprise because all managers I have encountered are like that and it's their job to make sure their talents look their best in photos that will eventually be published or videos that will be aired. But what turned me off somehow was when the manager said if I want Ken on video, I have to pay for his make-up. Like… what?! How do I exactly justify that expense to my office: "Make-up for Ken Zhu". I don't even have a make-up allowance but then, I'm not an artist.
The day of the interview came. The venue has been changed a few times the previous day until it was settled to be at the salon of a hairstylist he has been working with since Meteor Garden days. It was in a residential/commercial building off Sun Yat Sen.
He was having his hair done so I had to wait in the foyer for a while. When I finally came face-to-face with him, I was surprised that he was tall. He looked slimmer than recent photos I have seen of him, and definitely much much better than those photos his management sent me for use in the story.
I have moved my questions to my iPad but for some reasons, I couldn't open the file. Good thing it was easy to reconstruct everything in my head because truth be told, what do we want to know from Ken? It would have to be his emotional struggle post-F4 and his views on life. I dared not ask him about his personal life–rumors that he was dating his latest co-star–because I did not want to be kicked out of the room, and Ken seemed to be the type who won't hesitate to do that.
We sat side by side which was not really a comfortable position because as an interviewer, I want to look at my subject's face. The better to gauge his mood and reaction to my questions. And I prefer looking at them in the eye and vice versa. The better too to see if they are evading the question or giving me crap. But Ken was a very articulate subject. I didn't even have to ask follow-up questions because he has answered them before I could. He was also candid especially about his psychological condition and the struggles he had in recent years. They're not really new because he has spoken about them before but I wanted to hear for myself. When he said he must be the happiest among the F4, I couldn't help wondering if that was true. Maybe he has a more peaceful life, but maybe not. He's still in the entertainment industry. Even if he's no longer at his peak with everyone wanting a piece of him, there are still paps who would be interested in what he does, hoping they'd catch him doing something worth a scandalous headline. How can that be peaceful? As for happiness, maybe he is. We never know for sure. But it's just a contradiction when he says he's happy and say he tries to do a lot of things so his life won't be empty.
If for anything though, Ken has proven that yes, there is life after F4.

One thought on "behind the story: Ken Zhu"
Cris M. says:
We can not be happy all the time. There will always be instances when we feel empty. it is a good thing that he is willing to try to do other things. Sometimes good things come out when you do new things. Besides, like he said, these comes as a therapy.
I like his point of view on his career now. He might not be big anymore but He will always be around. This way he has more time to enjoy the fruits of his hard labor in the past. I just hope he'll find the ideal girl for him to marry soon. After all, he is not getting any younger.

Edwards declares weather emergency
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) " Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has issued a statewide emergency declaration in the wake of damage caused by severe weather that hit the state on Wednesday.
The governor's office, in a statement Friday, said the same line of storms will continue through Saturday, possibly dropping 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) of rain across the state.
National Weather Service survey teams say one tornado was confirmed near Marshall, Texas on Wednesday while three others were confirmed near the DeSoto Parish towns of Stonewall and Keachi in Louisiana.
No one was injured by the twisters which were each rated as an EF-1 (weak) on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which the weather service uses to classify tornadoes.


Some people think the latest technology for home entertainment such as sophisticated TVs, high-speed internet connections and tablets are having a negative impact on people's lives, especially young people.
Like many other technological tools, modern home entertainment devices have both positive and negative aspects. However, overall, this has far more advantages than demerits and if not overused, technologies like the high-speed internet and smart TV can be great learning tools for the people, especially young.
To begin with, powerful internet connection, smart TV, gaming console etc. all have entertaining as well as educational values. If not misused, young generation can learn from these sophisticated and advanced devices. The merits or demerits of these devices lie on the parental guidance and the way they are utilised. For instance, if a child watches TV programmes all day long, it would negatively affect his eyes, health and academic performance. However, if a teenager watches educational videos and programmes on YouTube and channels like the NetGeo or Discovery, he would definitely learn many new things.
Another key point to remember, people need entertainment in order to lead a stress-free and happy life. The lack of entertainment facility often attributes towards the moral degradation and this is quite alarming. Hence, people must have ways to spend some quality times on their own. Modern tools like computers, tabloid PCs and smart TVs fill the gap and allow busy people find ways to enjoy their leisure time. Considering this, I would like to suggest that latest technology for the personal and family entertainment is rather a blessing.
To conclude, the home entertainment technology itself does not have the ability to bring detrimental outcomes for people. Rather how we use them defines how useful or harmful those devices are and that is why we should be more sensible to use those technologies even if they are meant to entertain or educate us.
