The first International March of Sexual and Gender Diversity was celebrated in the border cities of Villazón, Bolivia and La Quiaca, Argentina. Indigenous communities were front and center at an event demanding basic human rights.
"We were all dark skinned marching and that was the most beautiful thing, breaking the borders with indigenous queerness," activist Alexis Méndez told Agencia Presentes.
Rosalinda Ancasi, the first openly trans woman from La Quiaca and co-organizer of the event, said the aim of the weekend march on the border was to "help us achieve greater visibility and our demands gain strength. We seek to position ourselves as people who deserve to have more respect and affection from society."
🇲🇽 One In 20 Mexicans Identifies As LGBTQ+
For the first time in history, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) of Mexico conducted a National Survey on Sexual and Gender Diversity. This data presented offers official statistics to guide the Mexican government to design and generate public policies to achieve a more egalitarian and inclusive society, Presentesreports.
The survey shines a light on some worrying numbers: 518,311 LGBTQ+ people were forced to go through a form of "conversion therapy". Additionally, 1 in 5 trans people have been assaulted and forced to leave their homes. One out of every 20 people over the age of 15 identifies as LGBTI+ in the country. This means 5.1% of the country's total population, or about 5 million people.
🇨🇴 Colombia Allows LGBTQ+ People To Donate Blood
The Constitutional Court of Colombia ruled that rejecting a blood donor for being homosexual, bisexual or trans is discriminatory, reports Sentiido media.
This decision comes after a Colombian gay couple took legal action when they were rejected as blood donors, despite being in a monogamous relationship, using condoms and having presented negative tests for HIV.
The Constitutional Court said LGBTQ+ people in Colombia can finally approach the country's blood banks to donate blood without fear of being discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
🇺🇸 Disney's Baymax! Series Features A Trans Man Character
Disney released a new series, Baymax!, a spin-off from its 2014 adventure-comedy movie Big Hero 6. The series is currently streaming on Disney+ and has already sparked controversy on social media.
The third episode features is a scene in which a transgender man buys tampons and pads. Some conservative viewers felt uncomfortable, saying such content was not suitable for children. The appearance of a transgender character is in line with Disney's desire to be more inclusive by showing more LGBTQ+ characters and menstrual cycles. Recently, Lightyear, another Disney movie, was censored in several countries due to its portrayal of same-sex relationships.
🇺🇸 Anti-LGBTQ+ Laws Take Effect In Five More U.S. States
Florida Fovernor Ron DeSantis's Parental Rights in Education Act, also known as the "Don't Say Gay" law went into effect last week in the southern U.S. state. The law bans any talk of gender identity and sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade, and also prohibits such discussions all the way through high school.
According to NBC, DeSantis has suggested this is only the beginning, saying in an interview with Fox News back in April that "things like woke gender ideology have no place in the schools, period."
Meanwhile, following Florida's lead, five other states passed laws on the same day impacting LGBTQ+ rights. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed a bill preventing transgender students from using facilities like restrooms and locker rooms that match their gender identity. In Indiana, South Dakota, Utah and Tennessee, a law now prohibits transgender women and girls in high school from competing on sports teams consistent with their gender identity.
🇺🇸 Flight Attendant Makes Passenger Announcement To Propose To Her Pilot Partner
Flight attendant Veronica Rojas made a very special passenger announcement on an Alaska Airline flight from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Passengers heard the usual sign, but instead of providing safety recommendations, Rojas proceeded to tell them how she had met her partner, the plane's pilot Alejandra Moncayo, on the same flight two years earlier.
She then specifically addressed her girlfriend in Spanish, asking, "My goddess. With you, I'll go to the skies. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?" before offering her an engagement ring. Moncayo said yes to the cheers of the passengers, who were all offered free tickets for a future flight by Alaska Airlines.
🇬🇧 Lancashire Town Rallies In Support Of Bullied Gay Couple
The community of New Longton, Lancashire has rallied around a local gay couple who were targeted with hate mail. The couple, Nathan Jones and Daniel Cooper, who run the local village post office, received an anonymous letter demanding they take down the Pride flag they had hung on the building. The letter claimed the village was a "Christian" area visited by children and that the flag was "revolting".
A community member write an online post about the letter and soon garnered a flood of support for the couple, with residents staging a rally outside the post office. Chris Wilson, an organizer of the rally, said "I'm not a political person, I'm not a religious person, but I am a person who cares. I am a proud gay man [who] will stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone regardless of sexuality, gender, race or religion to show that love wins, love will always win."
🇺🇦 A Drag Queen Making Coffins For Bucha: Another Sad And Bizarre War Story
Ozerov built coffins, some of which were destined for Bucha
Novoe Vremya
Artur Ozerov from Kyiv is one of hundreds of thousands of volunteers helping the Ukrainian army and civilians during the war. Still, he's got his own approach. The Ukrainian news outlet Novoe Vremya featured a profile of Ozerov, a Ukrainian civil servant, owner of an apiary near Kyiv, and a drag queen artist.
"When the full-scale war started, my first thought was: I won't go anywhere, I'll stay home. I have a big house — lots of bees and animals," recalls Ozerov, whose drag name is Aura. "But if God forbid, something happens — a rocket hits, or something catches fire, who will put it out?"
About ten days after the full-scale invasion, Ozerov and his colleagues were called on by the army to help. Since he was good with wood and making frames and beehives for his apiary, it fell to Ozerov to begin making coffins.
He soon realized that some of them were destined for Bucha, the suburb of Kyiv where an untold number of civilians were massacred in alleged Russian war crimes. "When we produced the coffins and the number passed 100, I couldn't realize how many people died there… You chop-chop-chop-chop these coffins, and they tell you they need more and more. It was emotionally hard," Ozerov told Novoe Vremya.
🇱🇧 Lebanon Prohibits Events Promoting LGBTQ+ Rights
Lebanon's Interior Ministry has called for a ban on events "promoting sexual perversion," claiming such gatherings violate customs, traditions and "principles of religion." The decision specifically targets LGBTQ+ activists, who have since reported having been questioned by security forces. A peaceful march to protest against the ban was canceled due to death threats amid an avalanche of homophobic attacks on social media.
Human Rights Watch and other associations that are part of the Coalition to Defend Freedom of Expression in Lebanon have condemned the ban as "discriminatory and unlawful" as it violates LGBTQ+ people's constitutional rights to equality, free expression and free assembly. The queer community was already badly affected by the 2020 Beirut port explosion, which destroyed many gay-friendly venues and prompted a population exodus.
🇳🇬 Nigeria Sentences Three To Death By Stoning For Homosexuality
Three men, including a 70-year-old, have been arrested by the Hisbah religious police of northern Nigerian state Bauchi on charges of engaging in homosexuality. The three men all confessed and were subsequently condemned to be stoned to death by an Islamic sharia court. They were not represented by lawyers and have 30 days to appeal the sentence.
The court decision must be approved by the state governor to take effect, but homosexuality is generally outlawed in Nigeria. People entering same-sex relationships face jail time according to the country's law, but the constitution remains neutral on religion. Yahaya Aminu Sharif, a 22-year-old singer who was sentenced to death for blasphemy in 2020 by another sharia court, has asked the Appeals Court to rule whether the sharia penal code is constitutional.
🇬🇧 UK Campaign To End Detention Of LGBTQ+ Asylum Seekers
UK-based organization Rainbow Migration, which advocates for members of the LGBTQ+ community seeking asylum, launched a campaign called No Pride in Detention. The campaign aims to end the detention of LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in the country, a detention that serves "no purpose other than to isolate and traumatize them."
The government had already recognized in 2016 that transgender people are more at risk of being harassed or sexually and mentally abused but nothing has been said on LGBTQ+ people. The "No Pride In Detention" campaign calls for a 28-day time limit for all asylum seekers' detentions.

Last weekend, over 1.5 million people flocked to London for Pride celebrations, making it the most attended Pride in British history. This year's celebrations also marked the 50th anniversary of London's first Pride march. Labour member of Parliament Emily Thornberry took to Twitter: "50 years ago, to be at a demonstration like this was to take your life into your own hands. And actually, it was a protest, and it was also about just being proud of yourself, being confident, and looking the world in the eye and going 'yeah, I'm different, so what?'"

Morocco Has Become The World Cup Flag Bearer For A Nation: Palestine
The World Cup in Qatar has been political on many fronts. Right now, with the event in an Arab country for the first time and Morocco as the first Arab team to make the quarterfinals, the Palestinian question is now very much on the agenda.

Paolo Valenti
When Morocco beat powerhouse Spain at Qatar's Al Rayyan stadium on Tuesday, it was a small bit of soccer history: the first time Morocco had qualified for the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
But the victory traveled well beyond the field, and beyond Morocco. Joy and celebration erupted across the Middle East and North Africa, where people of different nationalities gathered to celebrate that Morocco was also the first ever Arab team to ever qualify for the quarterfinals.
And those who were at the stadium or watching the post-game celebrations on the field will have noticed a peculiar detail: waving in the hands of the victorious players was not the Moroccan flag, but the Palestinian one.
Hassan Ored, a writer and historian, told the Beirut-based pan-Arab news outlet Daraj, that the tournament has revealed itself as a driver of regional identity, where the Palestinian cause is expressed through sport: "What is remarkable, given the organization of the World Cup in Qatar, is the predominance of the Arab dimension," he said. "It was evident through the raising of Palestinian flags by the fans and players, in an expression that their victories are not only for Morocco; Rather, it is for the Arab world."
It was not the first time that its black, red, white, and green colors appeared during this World Cup. The week before, a Tunisia supporter carrying a Palestinian flag had run onto the pitch during the match between the North-African team and France.
Aside from these sensational incidents, displays of support for Palestine have been constant since the beginning of this tournament – and not only from Arab fans. Last week, a video of an England supporter went viral; he had the St George's cross drawn on his face and a Palestinian flag in his hand shouting "Free Palestine" in Arabic during a TV interview outside the stadium.
The same motto was echoed in another popular video where an Uruguayan fan is was asked by a reporter why she is wearing a keffiyeh, the traditional black-and-white checkered scarf — a symbol of the Palestinian cause. Not everyone approved. On social media, several users have denounced the Qatari organizers' double standards for allowing pro-Palestine displays while discouraging pro-LGBTQ+ symbols and Iranian anti-regime protests.
What are Qatar's relations with Israel?
It is not surprising that Qatar is proving to be a welcoming environment for pro-Palestine supporters. While many Arab countries have normalized relations with Israel – most recently, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco – and recent reports suggest that even Saudi Arabia is on the same track, the Qatari leadership keeps repeating that it will not do so until the Palestinian issue is resolved on the basis of the two-State solution envisaged by the Oslo accords of 1993-1995.
This was not always the case: in 1996, Qatar became the first Gulf State to establish commercial and diplomatic relations with Israel and to open an Israeli trade office on its soil. The office was shut down only four years later and the relations between the two countries became much more tense since the Gaza war of 2008-2009.
Today, Doha is among the most vocal in denouncing the abuses committed by the Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, including through Qatar-owned news network Al-Jazeera. Just a few days ago, the government-funded channelannounced the submission of a formal request to the International Criminal Court to investigate on the death of its Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, killed last May while covering an Israeli raid in the village of Jenin, West Bank.

Amplifying rifts
A sign of Qatar's approach was seen some weeks before the beginning of the World Cup, when the organizers loudlyannounced the opening of the first direct flights between Doha and Tel-Aviv to bring both Israeli and Palestinian supporters to the stadiums. On that occasion, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said: "Football has the power to bring people together. It transcends all boundaries, crosses all borders."
Well, not all of them. The last three weeks of the tournament have shown how the sport can also bring out and amplify existing rifts and barriers. Two in particular have emerged strongly.
The first, not so surprising, is the one between Israel and Arab countries. Supporters interrupt Israeli journalists outside the stadiums or refuse to speak with them.
This brings us to the second and certainly more surprising rift – at least for those looking from the outside: the one between Arab countries' leadership and public sentiment.
A recent poll by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, cited in a Middle East Eyearticle by Feras Abu Helal, shows that around 80% of the people interviewed in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia had a negative view of the Abraham Accords that prompted a normalization of diplomatic between Israel and respectively the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.

In this tweet, Lebanese fans refuse to be interviewed by an Israeli journalist. The Israeli journalist speaks to them in Lebanese Arabic dialect saying "I am from Israel, my brothers;" the Lebanese football supporters walk away, saying "There is no Israel, there is only Palestine" "Why did you come here?" "How did you get here?" "There is no Israel" and shouting "Palestine" a few times. The journalist responds: "Israel exists, my friends".
Pan-Arab sentiment, Israeli doubts
This leadership vs. people divide also applies to intra-Arab relations. As Yasmeen Sehran wrote, the celebrations for the victory of Morocco over Spain showed that the pan-Arab sentiment is still alive among people in North Africa and the Middle East, despite the strong and frequent tensions among the governments of their respective countries.
The perfect example was offered by the Algerian people celebrating their "Moroccan brothers"' success, despite the decade-long dispute over Western Sahara which led to the interruption of diplomatic ties in August 2021.
No less telling was the point of view of Michal Aharoni, an Israeli journalist quoted in al Jazeera, who described what she called a state of "Palestinian supremacy" during the World Cup. In a message sent to the Israeli community, Aharoni wrote, "Here we are discovering that there is a vibrant Palestinian people, and to realize that, the Israeli media had to fly to Qatar to remember this fact."

This Happened—December 9: The First Intifada Ignites


I have been an athlete for as long as I can remember but a year ago I was not content about my fitness level. I was at my heaviest that I had ever been and while I still played rugby I was missing something, so I decided to join NOVA Strength and Conditioning as a way to improve my fitness for rugby during off season. It was just what I needed; NOVA Strength and Conditioning gave me that extra push and helped me to realize that I had so much more potential. The coaches were (and are) patient, supportive and have guided me with their knowledge in a variety of areas from nutrition, to form, and even life in general to help me achieve my fitness goals and to push me to exceed beyond what I thought was my limit and out of my comfort zone. There was a time where I thought my heaviest back squat would stay at 80 pounds but with the support and guidance of the NOVA Strength and Conditioning community (coaches and members) I have surpassed that limit with a PR of 165 pounds. Never did I think that I would be in the triple digits on a back squat (!) and that is not my stopping point. I will continue to set new goals and climb my way up the ladder to achieve them while embracing the transformation that comes along with it. To this date I have dropped a total of 50 pounds, my energy level has increased and I have built up my strength and endurance which has been a HUGE asset to my rugby performance.
But it wasn't a walk in the park.
It took a lot of hard work and determination to get to my current state. Yes, there were times when I didn't want to work out or days where I just could not move the weight that I wanted to but I kept going. My advice to you (the reader)- whatever your goals are for improving your fitness don't give up. Real talk- it's going to be a lot of hard work but keeping going. There will be days where you may not complete a workout at your best time or perform a PR but I promise you will get stronger, faster and fitter if you keep going. Transformation won't happen overnight but if you put in the work, time will work its magic. As for what's next with me…. well I plan on taking one day at a time and pushing myself to be the best version of me that I can be at that current moment. It's going to be hard work and there are going to be challenges to overcome and goals to achieve but I will not give up. I will keep going and so should you!

Driver trying to pass vehicle has head-on collision in Worcester
On Behalf of The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C. | Feb 22, 2018 | Car Accidents
While most drivers will adhere to the rules of the road and operate their vehicles safely, there will always be a certain number of drivers who operate their vehicles aggressively, negligently and recklessly. For whatever reason, they will try to make unsafe passes, drive beyond the speed limit, use their handheld devices while driving and exhibit many other behaviors that place themselves and others at risk. Often, this will lead to a car accident. After there has been a crash with a driver who was performing dangerous actions, there still must be an accident investigation to accrue evidence. For the victims, having legal help to investigate with their interests in mind is essential.
A three-vehicle crash at shortly before 8 p.m. sent two people to the hospital with serious injuries. According to the investigation, a 54-year-old man was driving a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. He attempted to pass a 2004 GMC pickup.
When he first tried to pass on the right of the pickup, he clipped the bumper. Unable to pass, the vehicles kept driving until the Toyota again tried to pass, this time on the left side. As he did, he went into traffic coming in the opposite direction.
As it entered the opposite lanes, the Tacoma had a head-on collision with a 2014 Toyota Scion. The driver of the Tacoma was critically injured and taken to the hospital.
Firefighters were forced to extricate the 27-year-old male driver of the Scion from the vehicle. He suffered serious injuries and was also hospitalized. The 32-year-old driver of the GMC gave law enforcement a detailed statement as to what occurred. Citations had not been issued in the immediate aftermath of the incident, but the case is still being investigated.
A key to any legal filing after a car accident is the evidence. When there is an incident where a driver is behaving in a reckless manner and trying to make unsafe passes and it leads to a crash, this can be a crucial part of seeking compensation in a lawsuit. Because the injuries to the driver of the Scion are considered serious, it could lead to lost time at work, long-term medical treatment, permanent damage and the need to have help for the rest of his life. As he recovers, he must protect himself by discussing a potential legal filing with an attorney experienced in helping clients recover damages after a car crash.

Donna Ecks, a teacher from Doherty High School, shares what taking classes from EconLitCO has meant to her and her students.
After attending this first class, taught by Dr. John Brock, I was hooked. How could I have missed out on such a cool and exciting subject? I had finally found my niche. With each subsequent class I took, my knowledge and ability to share economics in a fun and exciting way grew exponentially. In essence, I had become a part of the multiplier effect that ELC creates in Colorado. Teach one teacher content and methodology and that teacher will spread the seeds of economics and financial literacy to more teachers and thus, more students. Over a career one teacher will potentially impact thousands of students. I myself have reached 4, 000 students to date and shared the benefits of ELC with many of my colleagues. The exceptional quality of the ELC staff, professors, and teachers, and the strong belief in a teacher's ability to teach once taught the concepts and methodology, make ELC the only organization in Colorado providing what is truly needed to have an exceptional impact on student learning and their lives.


Hlw.. Please have a look to my profile.. Message me if you need any other example..i have a lot pending in my gallery..I'm new to this site but trust me.. I won't disappoint you..
hello sir , i am interested with your job . i don't have any problem with money . i just want to do this job for reputation.


Everybody does New Years Resolutions, and I'm also aware that they are typically done in January. So I'm starting my resolution by the time most people have given up on theirs. But I really want to shoot for this one, and I think you'll all be excited to hear about it too.
My 2014 writing resolution is to finish two novels this year.
My average time actually writing a novel is between three and four months, though usually spread out over a longer period. I managed to finish this last book, book four in my The Word and the Sword series, in just about three and a half months exactly, and in that same timeframe. And I also had a bunch of gaps, so I'm betting I could have had it done in two-and-a-half if I'd really pushed at it.
My goal is to try to hit 1,000 words a day for three months on each book (making about 90,000 words total) with a month in between to outline and plan. We'll see how it goes, and if it goes really well, I might even get a start on a third novel before the year's end.
Regardless, my hope is to be able to shorten the gap between the releases in The Word and the Sword series. That means less waiting for the next one, and less heartbreak over the inevitable cliffhangers.

Q: Writing a file to the virtual server, ASP.NET
Possible Duplicate:
Write to CSV file and export it?

This is probably a silly question and I have searched on Google but I'm not able to find a definitive answer - how do you write a CSV file to the webserver and export it in C# ASP.net? I know how to generate it but I would like to save it to www.mysite.com/my.csv and then export it.

A: You don't need to save the CSV file to disk especially if it is dynamically generated. You could directly write it to the response stream so that the user can download it:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Clear();
    Response.ContentType = "text/csv";
    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=foo.csv");
    Response.Write("val1,val2,val3");
}

You could also write an http handler:
public class CsvHandler : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
    {
        context.Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=foo.csv");
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/csv";
        context.Response.Write("val1,val2,val3");
    }

    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get { return true; }
    }
}

which you would call like this: http://mysite.com/csvhandler.ashx

State Bans Popular AR-15 Accessory, Police Shocked After Only 4 People Comply
February 21, 2018 Gun Control, U.S.
Massachusetts became the first state to ban bump-stocks for firearms, and after three weeks with the new law in effect, police are apparently shocked that only a few citizens have come forward to voluntarily give up their newly illegal devices.
By: Rachel Blevins
This article first appeared at FreeThoughtProject
Bump stocks, which replace a rifle's standard stock and allow the gun to mimic an automatic weapon, came under fire in October after police claimed that the suspected gunman in the Las Vegas shooting, Stephen Paddock, had 12 rifles with bump stocks in his hotel room.
While it is not clear whether the bump stocks were used, or how they contributed to the carnage that resulted from the shooting, they became the focus of the mainstream media's wrath, and Massachusetts jumped into action. Now, residents who violate the new law could spend anywhere from 18 months to life in prison.
The ban took place in the state on Feb. 1, and the new regulations gave residents the option to turn their bump stocks over to law enforcement with no repercussions—but so far, police departments in Springfield, West Springfield, Holyoke, Agawam, Granby and Ludlow have received zero bump stocks.
The Chicopee Police Department has received four bump stocks, and Officer Mike Wilk told22News that he was actually shocked by the low response. "Four is surprising. I figured we would get a few more, but at least we got four," Wilk said.
There is no incentive for residents to turn in their bump stocks, other than a pat on the back and the peace of mind that they no longer own something the state has deemed illegal. Wilk said he believes that "there are people that could transfer them out of state. If they had a second residence they could have brought them there."
Essex Police Chief Peter Silva told CBS Boston that the one man in his city who voluntarily turned his bump stock in expressed his frustration at the fact that he paid more than $250 for the device and he was now being forced to turn it over to the police with nothing in return.
"He was a little frustrated because of the fact that he'd paid a little over $250 on this piece here, and there was no redeeming value for him on the other side to recover that money,"Silva said.
While there is no clear proof that bump stocks were responsible for the nearly 60 deaths that resulted from the Las Vegas shooting, John Rosenthal, founder of a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that advocated for the ban, told the Huffington Post that he believes bump stocks should be outlawed because, "We saw in Las Vegas the carnage, which far exceeded the carnage of any other mass shooting in U.S. history, and it made it very clear to me that there's no purpose whatsoever for a bump stock, other than killing a lot of people very quickly."
Rosenthal also told CBS Baltimore, "There's no question in my mind that people won't turn them in" if the ban became law, and clearly that was not the result.
The city of Denver, Colorado, has introduced a similar ban, which makes bump stocks illegal to sell, carry, store or possess within city limits. While residents also have the option to turn over their devices to law enforcement without repercussions, violators could be fined up to $999 and face up to 180 days in jail.
One of the main points that do not appear to have been thoroughly addressed in this debate is what happens to the bump stocks after they are turned over to police. Not only does the former owner receive no compensation, but the local police department now has a new weapon to add to its increasingly militarized arsenal. And as The Free Thought Project has reported, police in the United States have killed 450 percent more Americans than the last four decades of mass shootings—combined.

Out Behind The Barn: John Boden & Chad Lutzke (Kendall Review)
20th November 2018 Gavin Kendall Reviews Books 1
Out Behind The Barn: John Boden & Chad Lutzke
Reviewed by D.K. Hundt
Chad Lutzke has written for Famous Monsters of Filmland, Rue Morgue, Cemetery Dance, and Scream magazine. He's had a few dozen stories published, and some of his books include: Of Foster Homes & Flies, Wallflower, Stirring the Sheets, Skullface Boy, and the novella featured in this review, Out Behind the Barn, co-written with John Boden. Baker by day, Boden spends his off-time writing, working on Shock Totem, or watching M*A*S*H re-runs. His work has appeared in Borderlands 6, Shock Totem, Splatterpunk, Lamplight, Blight Digest, the John Skipp edited Psychos and others. His other books include Dominoes, Jedi Summer with the Magnetic Kid, and Detritus in Love.
A novella I won't soon forget, Out Behind The Barn is about an older woman named Maggie, or Miss Maggie as her two young boys, Davey and Ronny, call her. It's summertime on the farm, hot days spent doing chores, climbing trees, and nights filled with the works of 'Poe, Bradbury, and the occasional Brothers Grimm tale were the customary' bedtime stories. Life on the farm is most definitely different and special to the boys and Miss Maggie, and to reveal any more would be spoiling the plot entirely. I can tell you that Out Behind The Barn is the first book I've read by Lutzke and Boden, the title and cover art fits the narrative perfectly and is what sparked my interest in reading this well-crafted heartwarming and heartbreaking story by two authors told in one seamless voice. I have nothing but praise for this book; the authors created characters that I found myself genuinely caring for, and even at one point, feeling empathy for the antagonist. As you read this novella, you will note the themes of family, love, loss, and experience, as I did, a nagging curiosity as to what exactly goes on Out Behind The Barn.
If my review or the synopsis of Out Behind The Barn sparked your interest, then, by all means, take a bite and delve into the creative minds of the authors – you may be surprised by what you find lurking within.
The boys crept to the window and watched as Miss Maggie carried the long bundle into the barn, the weight of it stooping her aging back. Rafter lights spilled from the barn doors, and Davey saw an arm fall from the canvas-wrapped parcel. He smiled.
You can buy Out Behind The Barn from Amazon UK & Amazon US

I plan to sink my teeth into this one. My friends have different feelings about it and that makes me so curious.


How Athletes Can Prevent Knees Injuries?
If you want to succeed in any kind of competitive sports, it is important that you have an excellent energy level. Sports nutrition is a factor that any competitive and professional athlete should be aware of. The product that you use should be genuine and useful. It should come in neat package, taste good and look good. You need to have genuine sporting nourishment, with beneficial added ingredients. One type of product that athletes often consume is isotonic sports drinks. Just like other drinks, they are intended to provide our body with enough fluids. They should be able to replace salt and other kinds of minerals, or electrolytes. We lose these minerals during exercises. The term isotonic is used for fluids with salt and sugar levels that are equal to blood plasma. In order to encourage consumption, isotonic sports drinks often contain sugar and artificial flavoring. Some products are designed to be low in sugar, so they may contain aspartame and other types of artificial sweeteners.
Some of the sports drinks contain high level of caffeine, which is something that we shouldn't have regularly at high levels. Fortunately, there are alternatives that we can get to replace the sports drinks. One of the best solutions is natural coconut water. This is a good solution for people in equatorial areas where coconut trees are common. Coconut should be quite affordable in these areas. Natural coconut water is a wonderful natural isotonic drink, which is much cheaper than any isotonic sport drink. Coconut water is rich in potassium, sodium and other minerals. In fact, coconut water can be used in emergency situations for intravenous infusion as replacement for blood plasma. Another option is to choose rehydration salt or dioralyte. It can be mixed with water easily. Rehydration salt is also cheap and easy to carry. Compared to isotonic sports drinks, water mixed with dioralyte shouldn't contain any dangerous chemical.
We may also save some money by choosing squash or juice, added with little amount of sea salt. It should be quite easy to make a replacement from fresh juice. You can make fresh juice from mango, pineapple, banana and other tropical fruits; which are commonly rich in minerals. This is suitable for people who live in tropical areas. Your body will benefit significantly if you get fruit juice after performing intense and prolonged physical exercises. Again, because you lose a lot of minerals through sweat; you should still add some sea salt to the fruit juice. It is important to be aware that table salt is less appropriate, because it often contains only sodium and not other minerals like potassium. By adding some sea salt, the fruit juice may also taste better, but you still shouldn't use sea salt too much. High quality sea salt can be obtained in various health shops and pharmacies. After using these alternatives, you can be sure that you are able to save some money. Depending on your body weight and level of physical activities, you have different amounts of electrolytes that need to be replaced. It is important to ensure that your body stays balanced.

Robredo seeks evidence in DoJ sedition complaint
August 8, 2019 | 8:47 pm
VICE-PRESIDENT MARIA LEONOR G. ROBREDO
VICE-PRESIDENT MARIA Leonor G. Robredo has asked government prosecutors to order the police to give her copies all the evidence in the sedition complaint against her and 35 other people.
In a motion filed by her lawyer Marlon J. Manuel, the opposition leader accused the police, which initiated the case, of violating her rights by withholding evidence.
"It is reckless to conceal evidence under the guise of later on presenting the same during trial on the merits, assuming such evidence even exists," she said in her filing at the Department of Justice.
"It is flagrant violation of a basic right to proceed with a prosecution on the convenient excuse of later on presenting evidence during 'trial on merits' in the vain hope that some credible evidence might later turn up," she added.
Ms. Robredo also asked the Justice department to defer the filing of her counter-affidavit pending receipt of the police's so-called evidence.
Police last month filed a complaint of inciting to sedition, cyberlibel, libel, estafa, harboring a criminal and obstruction of justice against Ms. Robredo and other people whom it accused of circulating a video linking President Rodrigo R. Duterte and his family to illegal drugs.
Also sued was Peter Joemel Advincula, the self-confessed drug dealer who was featured in the videos.
Mr. Advincula had sought legal assistance in filing charges against members of the drug syndicate he formerly belonged to. Later that month, he surrendered to police over estafa charges, and tagged the Liberal Party as behind the propaganda.
The Liberal Party has accused the government of political harassment and persecution, saying the complaint is based on lies.
In her motion, Ms. Robredo noted that the police complaint only included the sworn statement of Mr. Advincula, and that other statements would be presented later.
"The presentation of evidence can't be done in installments," Mr. Manuel told reporters yesterday.
Human Rights Watch earlier said authorities should drop the "preposterous complaint" against opposition politicians, religious leaders and human rights advocates. It said the case was a "transparent attempt to harass and silence critics of President Rodrigo R. Duterte's bloody drug war."
"Threatening criminal charges against the vice-president, outspoken bishops and rights lawyers suggests that Duterte's egregious human rights record is catching up with him," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
A conviction for incitement to sedition carries a maximum penalty of six years in jail.
Justice Secretary Menardo I. Guevarra said the case would be resolved with "utmost fairness." The preliminary investigation has been set for Aug. 9.
Ms. Robredo's camp earlier said the complaint was likely started to form a basis for her eventual impeachment.
Her spokesman Barry Gutierrez said the case had a political motivation and "impeachment is really the endgame here." — Vann Marlo M. Villegas

Story telling and editing is our specialty. It's what we're best at and enjoy the most.


Everyone knows that training the mind is the key to success in the material world or in the spiritual world. But, everyone also knows that the training of the mind is not a joke, especially as one is climbing the ladders of the success. Some persons have an extremely evolved mind from childhood, such as Swami Vivekananda, Adi Shankara, Violinist Yehudi Menuhin, etc. So, naturally, they succeed to enormous heights leaving others spellbound. Everyone shall like to be like them.
Many a times, people read the biographies of such great ones and derive inspiration. Also, their elders always encourage them pointing such great persons. They even attend some lessons, lectures or practices with such great ones or the followers of such great ones. However, they find that they themselves are not reaching such heights and they are left with awe or with praising the great ones. You will find that the great ones are celebrated all over the world, but not too many great ones are produced amongst such praising crowds. Why?
Because, while it does help to derive inspiration from the illumined ones, the real success starts with training one's own mind. This training can be done only by the individual who wants to succeed. For such a person who wants to derive success by training the mind, some tips may be found by studying others. Several tips are noticed, and certain only ones are applicable to each individual. So, there is no common formula.
First of all, one should know what the problem with one's own mind is. For example, some persons like to help others and spend all their energy in helping others, leaving no time/energy for their own practice or study. Some others like one subject so much that they neglect some other one/s that are mandatory to some extent, thus coming to a blockage at one point. Some ignore financial side as their mind repels the money, but does not repel the things that can be bought with the money. And, so on.
Once one gets to know one's own situation, they must accept it and not deny it. After that they should make a plan to exactly address that situation, and not other situation as taught by some great ones. For example, if a person has mental problems, Asanas do NOT help much, though they may help a little bit. Whereas if a person has flexibility problem, Vipassana meditation does not help at all. One must directly address one's own problem.
Thirdly, one shall find that their mind resists the solution to their own problem. Because, that resistance in a way or in some proportion had led to their problem. So, they should accept that resistance and not expect mental victory in a short period. They should make a doable plan to train their mind to overcome that resistance. And, execute that plan regularly. If the plan is doable, but slightly challenging, they will find that they are able to overcome such a resistance and are climbing the ladder of success.
This way, they will soon learn to overcome greater resistance and shall reach the heights optimally. They should keep themselves happy with whatever success they get so as to avoid creating negativity, but at the same time they should not be complacent.
Thanks for reading this blog, which keeps me going.


Want to have clearer, younger looking skin without using skin products?
For years I struggled with my own skin problems and discovered how important healthy eating (along with safe and gentle detoxification) helped my skin heal and start to glow.
Right now, I'm going to show you how to get glowing skin by changing a few things in your diet and lifestyle. You'll see results even if you're suffering from skin problems like acne.
But first, you might be asking yourself, "How does the food I eat help my skin?" Here's how it works: Most often we get skin problems when we have too many toxins in our body. In order to get clear skin, you must focus on eliminating your toxins. And how do you eliminate toxins? By making a few changes to your diet and lifestyle. Keep in mind, however, that some foods are great at fighting toxins and other foods just add more toxins to our body.
1. Berries: Full of antioxidants that promote healthy, glowing skin and reduce stress on the body.
2. Tomatoes: Rich in Vitamins A and C, nutrients and antioxidants.
3. Lemons: Help balance your body's acidity and clears your skin.
4. Watercress: This spicy, leafy green is rich in Vitamin C, iron, calcium and sulfur that supports liver and skin health.
5. Fennel: Supports digestion and intestinal health.
6. Beets: High in glutathione for detoxification and liver support.
7. Avocado: This smooth, silky fruit is rich in Vitamin E and amazing for skin health. It also makes a nourishing food face mask.
8. Burdock: Supports the liver and has strong anti-bacterial/anti-fungal properties that helps digestive and skin health.
9. Sweet Potato: Contains beta-carotene for intestinal, skin and menstrual cycle health.
10. Pumpkin Seeds: High in Vitamin E, zinc and omega fatty acids.
1. Dairy: Just say no! Try almond or hemp milk instead.
2. Fried Food: No surprise here. Fried food will clog your pores.
3. Gluten: Cut gluten out of your diet for 2 weeks. You'll see a difference.
1. Drink water: Drink 2 – 3 liters of water everyday. Staying hydrated helps your body flush out skin-damaging toxins.
2. Sleep: It's called "beauty rest" for a reason. Go to sleep before midnight for 7-8 hours.
3. Relieve stress: When you're stressed out, your body releases "stress toxins." These toxins can trigger illness and skin breakouts. Relax with deep breathing, walking or reading.
So now you know about the foods and habits that can dramatically improve your skin. The next step is putting these changes into action. You will start to notice improvements in your skin after a few days. But keep this in mind: when you get your clear & glowing skin, continue with your healthy skin diet and habits. That's the best way to make sure your skin stays healthy and beautiful.
After years of trial I found a program like The 3-Day Glowing Skin Diet to work very well for myself and my clients. It's a free download that gives you easy recipes, grocery shopping lists and tips for better skin health. It will help you get a jumpstart on your new glowing skin diet and lifestyle.
For those of you who have already completed the 3-Day Glowing Skin Diet, or are just looking to maximize your results, I recommend the 14 Day Liver Reset which is an awesome program we put together to reduce the toxic load on the liver and refuel your body with foods that promote healthy, glowing skin. Plus you get the ongoing support of our live, private Facebook community!

Surf Life Saving in Tasmania is a volunteer based not-for-profit community service association and is the key agency for beach safety in Tas. Through a new exciting merger, SLST supports the Tasmanian Police with inland, inshore and offshore search and rescue services state wide.
Surf Life Saving Tas provides an essential educational and emergency rescue service to all users of Tasmanian beaches and plays a fundamental role in building healthy communities.
Our movement is a part of the history, fabric and future of this country. It represents the lifestyle, values and beliefs of the Australian culture. It protects life, it saves life, it promotes life.
We create a safe environment in and around our beaches, through patrols on, in and above the shore and through education and training programs.
Surf Life Saving is the largest volunteer movement of its kind in Australia. We are a not-for-profit movement that exists only through community donations, fundraising and corporate sponsorship.
Our activities address many community and Government policies such as safer communities, obesity, physical activity, youth development, training and education, and family.


Whose life could we save together this winter?
If you see someone living outside, let them know you care and encourage them to seek shelter at a local Mission. Call GRPD (or your local police department) to help with transportation 616-456-3400.
When it's below freezing outside, it's not the time to make assumptions about how someone ended up homeless. It's time to make sure no one dies on the streets. Show love, compassion and empathy. See your neighbor, brother or sister in them.
There are nine different Heartside Warming Centers to make sure everyone has a place to stay warm this winter. Mel Trotter also has nurses on staff to care for people who are severely intoxicated.
Giving money to someone standing on a street corner is kind. It will not help end their poverty. Investing in organizations that walk alongside people to address their barriers to gaining sustainable housing and employment is the best way to ensure someone is helped.
Turn your passion into action. Mentor someone who is struggling with homelessness, host a bible study or a pillow and blanket drive with your church or business. Whatever your talents are, they can be used to help end homelessness.
The vision of Mel Trotter Ministries is to end homelessness in West Michigan, one life at a time, through the power of Christ.


Great and thriving dating relationships are built on safety, which provides the best possible environment for emotional intimacy to develop. Since emotional intimacy takes people to some of the most vulnerable places a relationship can go, the risks are great. To have a foundation of safety built into your relationship makes opening up significantly easier.
In order to create a safe and healthy dating relationship, both individuals must be committed to protecting themselves as well as their partner.
The bottom line: Healthy dating entails both rights and responsibilities.

Q: Updating input html field from within an Angular 2 test I would like to change the value of an input field from within an Angular 2 unit test.
<input type="text" class="form-control" [(ngModel)]="abc.value" />

I can't just change the ngModel because abc object is private:
 private abc: Abc = new Abc();

In Angular 2 testing, can I simulate the user typing into the input field so that the ngModel will be updated with what the user has typed from within a unit test?
I can grab the DebugElement and the nativeElement of the input field without a problem. (Just setting a the value property on the nativeElement of the input field doesn't seem to work as it doesn't update the ngModel with what I've set for the value).
Maybe inputDebugEl.triggerEventHandler can be called, but I'm not sure what arguments to give it so it will simulate the user having typed a particular string of input.

A: I also had trouble getting jonrsharpe's answer to work with Angular 2.4. I found that the calls to fixture.detectChanges() and fixture.whenStable() caused the form component to reset. It seems that some initialization function is still pending when the test starts. I solved this by adding extra calls to these methods before each test. Here is a snippet of my code:
beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
        // ...etc...
    });
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(LoginComponent);
    comp = fixture.componentInstance;
    usernameBox = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('input[name="username"]'));
    passwordBox = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('input[type="password"]'));
    loginButton = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('.btn-primary'));
    formElement = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('form'));
});

beforeEach(async(() => {
    // The magic sauce!!
    // Because this is in an async wrapper it will automatically wait
    // for the call to whenStable() to complete
    fixture.detectChanges();
    fixture.whenStable();
}));

function sendInput(inputElement: any, text: string) {
    inputElement.value = text;
    inputElement.dispatchEvent(new Event('input'));
    fixture.detectChanges();
    return fixture.whenStable();
}

it('should log in correctly', async(() => {

    sendInput(usernameBox.nativeElement, 'User1')
    .then(() => {
        return sendInput(passwordBox.nativeElement, 'Password1')
    }).then(() => {
        formElement.triggerEventHandler('submit', null);
        fixture.detectChanges();

        let spinner = fixture.debugElement.query(By.css('img'));
        expect(Helper.isHidden(spinner)).toBeFalsy('Spinner should be visible');

        // ...etc...
    });
}));

A: You're right that you can't just set the input, you also need to dispatch the 'input' event. Here is a function I wrote earlier this evening to input text:
function sendInput(text: string) {
  inputElement.value = text;
  inputElement.dispatchEvent(new Event('input'));
  fixture.detectChanges();
  return fixture.whenStable();
}

Here fixture is the ComponentFixture and inputElement is the relevant HTTPInputElement from the fixture's nativeElement. This returns a promise, so you'll probably have to resolve it sendInput('whatever').then(...).
In context: https://github.com/textbook/known-for-web/blob/52c8aec4c2699c2f146a33c07786e1e32891c8b6/src/app/actor/actor.component.spec.ts#L134

Update:
We had some issues getting this to work in Angular 2.1, it didn't like creating a new Event(...), so instead we did:
import { dispatchEvent } from '@angular/platform-browser/testing/browser-util';

...

function sendInput(text: string) {
  inputElement.value = text;
  dispatchEvent(fixture.nativeElement, 'input');
  fixture.detectChanges();
  return fixture.whenStable();
}

A: The accepted solution didn't quite work for me in Angular 2.4.  The value I had set was not appearing in the (test) UI, even after detectChanges() was called.
The way I got it to work was to set up my test as follows:
describe('TemplateComponent', function () {
  let comp: TemplateComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<TemplateComponent>;

  beforeEach(async(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      imports: [ FormsModule ],
      declarations: [ TemplateComponent ]
    })
    .compileComponents();
  }));

  beforeEach(() => {
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(TemplateComponent);
    comp = fixture.componentInstance;
  });

  it('should allow us to set a bound input field', fakeAsync(() => {
    setInputValue('#test2', 'Tommy');

    expect(comp.personName).toEqual('Tommy');
  }));

What a gem. Close to everything. Historic building, warm and inviting. Was given a room with a four poster bed, with windows overlooking the cathedral. Helpful friendly staff who knew the area well. Just a very pleasant stay.
Great room above the pub in an awesome central location within walking distance to many of the York sites and across the street from the Minster. The room was old, as expected, but the bed was very comfortable and the shower was good as well. The food in the restaurant downstairs was delicious British pub food, and my wife loved the steak pie. Overall a great inn above a great pub in a great location. We would definitely stay there again.
Location is perfect. If you are a light sleeper the Friday and Thursday crowd out side might keep you awake. I'd just recommend going downstairs to the pub and join them for one more pint.
I stayed at the Guy Fawkes Inn for one night along with five friends. We had just finished the Coast 2 Coast walk across England and we were sightseeing in York for the Saturday and Sunday before returning to the States. The staff were very helpful, the rooms were full of character and the food was good. Two of my friends with rooms near the courtyard were disturbed by noise but I slept sound. The Inn is in a great position. You can view York Minster from the bar. Great place, I would stay here again.
The location was great for access to the city and train, however, it was very noisy! Our room was over the bar courtyard and people were partying late into the night. Also WIFI barely worked!!!

Ye olde Meting-House of Meadford.
by Moses W. Mann, West Medford.
[Continued from Vol. II, No. 2.]
THE seats in the pews were hinged, and turned up on edge as the people stood during the long prayer. This concluded, they were turned down again, and the result was like a fusillade of musketry all over the house.
Mr. Porter's pastorate was all too short, as he died after serving the church and town nine years, and was succeeded by the Rev. Ebenezer Turell in 1724.
He, like his predecessor, took unto himself a wife soon after coming to Medford. Still more room was needed for the accommodation of the people, and after much discussion the town built a new and much larger meeting-house just beyond the brook, and on August 21, 1727, worshipped in the subject of our sketch for the last time. The selectmen were directed to sell it, for the best advantage for the town. I find no report of their doings in the matter on the record; but upon the treasurer's book under date of January 4, 1729, is this item, 'To Cash Recd of Benj. Willis for ye Old Meeting-house Omitted getting down before.
' The receipts are entered on the right hand pages of the book, and the page being one of the earliest used, the right, or outer edge, is so frayed and worn that the amount paid by Mr. Willis is missing. An interesting matter in this connection is the date January 4, 729. As the town directed the selectmen on September 29, 1729, to sell it and Mr. Willis paid for it on January 4, it was in the eleventh month of the year, which then began with the first of March, instead of January. Another incident is that the entry is not in regular order, but is explained by the written note, 'Omitted setting down before.'
Such are the facts gleaned from the ancient records of the town, their time-worn and discolored pages now carefully preserved between silk tissue.
In a careful reading of them, often requiring patient [p. 63] study, and diligent comparison of the quaint expression, and almost phonetic spelling, the writer felt as one becoming introduced to the men and people of the Medford of long ago. So long ago was it, that it is well to take a look beyond the strip of land bordering the river, 'and extending back a mile in all places,' that comprised the Medford of those days, making the thirty-one years ye olde meeting-house was used. A. D. 1693, William and Mary had been for five years the reigning sovereigns and the town meetings were called 'in their majesties names.' The witchcraft delusion at Salem had just run its length and subsided without thrusting its baleful presence and influence into Medford.
Beyond the sea in old England, John Bunyan, the immortal dreamer, and Richard Baxter, the voluminous writer, had but just passed away. The 'Pilgrim's Progress' of the one, and 'Saint's Rest' of the other were beginning to reach these shores.
John Dryden, the poet and translator of 'Virgil,' and John Locke, the mental philosopher of that age, were just completing their life work, while the great architect, Sir Christopher Wren, was in his prime.
But four years had passed since Sir Edmund Andros had been sent home to England, and one Medford man is credited with saying, 'If Andros comes to Medford we'll treat him not with shad and alewives but with swordfish.'
Possibly if this ancient Medfordite could now return, he would find a different taste prevailing in the matter of a fish diet; and Parson Porter would find that potatoes (unknown in Medford when he came as minister) afforded more palatable and nourishing food if the roots were cooked, instead of balls that grew upon the vines. Andros' successor wasn't much more heartily welcomed, though the people were loyal to the king who had granted the new charter.
Less than nine years before, the general court in answer to the people's inquiry, had declared 'that Meadford hath [p. 64] been and is a peculiar.' Doubtful of their right, or perhaps too modest, no deputy had been sent till four years before the enterprise of building the meeting-house was inaugurated. With it as a central rallying point, the sixty year old town was waking to new life, for in the autumn of that year, it adopted 'Town orders and bylaws.' Of the houses that were standing in the Medford of 1696, we can be positively certain of but two that remain today—the Major Jonathan Wade house, and the Capt. Peter Tufts house, commonly called the Cradock House,—'if this be treason' (or heresy)'make the most of it.' There is a possibility that the old house recently removed a little from the corner of High Street and Hastings Lane (and now many times repaired and twice enlarged, and so taking a new lease of life), may have been the home of Dea. and Ensign John Bradshaw. All others that were contemporary with the old meetinghouse in its early years have yielded to the tooth of time, and possibly none that were built during its thirty-two years now remain. A few monarchs of the forest there are, and yet very few whose roots had then taken a firm grasp in Medford soil. The primeval forest has gone and danger threatens the newer growth. If we take the map of Medford, and trace a series of circles in quarter miles, from the site of the meeting-house, we shall find that the first passes through the site of the First Parish Church, where the third meeting-house was built, the Brooks and the Cummings Schools; the second, or halfmile, through the city farm, Hall road, Medford square, Cradock school, and West Medford R. R. station.
The three-quarter mile radius reaches the Brooks Farm building, the site of the Wheeler mill just above Menotomy river, the end of Woburn street at Playstead road, the old mill site on Whitmore brook and also the one on Meeting-house brook, Gravelly brook at Forest street, the Everett school and the Royall House.
One mile is just beyond Wear bridge, the farther corner of Oak Grove, Bear meadow, Earl avenue and Fulton [p. 65] street at the Fellsway, Park street, Mystic park and Tufts College. One and a quarter miles would reach the old Powder House in Somerville, and one and a half the so-called Cradock House. With the latter exception, the spot selected for its building was central then.
'Ye olde meeting-house of Meadford,' occupies a peculiar place in the history of the peculiar town, in the fact that the town, by taxation, supported public worship within its walls for seventeen years before the gathering of a church. For almost the average length of a human life it served its purpose, convening the sovereign people in their civil capacity in the town meeting, and the exercise of religious freedom of worship.
No matter how acrimonious the debates may have been, or what the difference of opinion was on the town's business affairs, the Sabbath worship was observed. If this could be before the church was organized, how much more must the meeting-house have stood for afterward.
And when the time came to leave it for the new and larger, we may well think that in the hearts of some, especially of the older people, arose the remembrance of former days. It has come to be a custom to inveigh against the Puritans, and to consider them as cold and austere. We do well to remember the circumstances under which they came to these shores; the persecutions they endured and finally fled from; to remember that they established the civil and religious liberty we enjoy and not to allow the present time to degenerate into civil and religious license.
I find no record of theological differences in the old meeting-house. The Quaker or Baptist may have been there, but that time was long before the Universalist, Unitarian, or Methodist-Episcopal. The churches of England and of Rome, the ancient Medfordites would have none of. This is evident in the fact that, in the acts of worship and observation of times, everything was diametrically opposite. Even the Holy Scriptures were unread in the meeting-house, and not until 1755 was [p. 66] there a Bible upon the pulpit. No lights gleamed or candles flickered from its windows on Sunday night, for the Sabbath began at sunset on Saturday. One Medford man is credited with having 'a poor opinion of religion got by candle light.'
The records say of a town meeting, 'Adjourned to meet at Stephen Willis' on December 6 at about sunsetting.'
From twelve to fifteen shillings a year paid for the care of the house, and sometimes the deacon was the caretaker.
The duties were sweeping, shutting the casements (possibly there were shutters on the windows, as glass was expensive), and removing the snow from before the doors. Since that day, thirty houses for public worship have been erected within the limits of Medford, and eighteen are now in use as such. Two of the thirty (the second and third built by the town while there was but the one church), were demolished when outgrown.
Three have been destroyed by fire; one is now beyond the limits of Medford, owing to change of boundary, while one has been moved into its borders. Five have become devoted to business and residential use, leaving eighteen in present service, with one homeless society about to rebuild. One is the college church. Therefore, to eighteen organized bodies has increased the gathering at John Bradshaw's house on that winter day one hundred and ninety-five years ago.
Could Rev. Mr. Woodbridge ride from Charlestown to Medford on horseback, as of yore, he would not have to alight and open the gate across the road near Marble brook ere he could proceed.
Mr. Aaron Warner would find his old parish somewhat changed on doctrinal points, but ready to welcome him, and possibly he might not be pleased with the chiming bells and liturgical service across the 'country road,' as he would call High street. Parson Turell would look in vain for his old home, only demolished in recent years. [p. 67] Perchance he might wonder if this was really Meadford. But we may do well, if we of this year of grace, 1906, serve our day and generation, in church and state, in religious and civil duty, as did the men and women who in 1696 built and worshipped in 'Ye olde first meting-house of Meadford.'

Q: Swashbuckle configuration error I'm trying to add Swashbuckle into my ASP.NET MVC WebAPI project. I've started with an empty MVC project template in Visual Studio 2013. Later I added the required files/packages etc. But somehow I can't manage to integrate Swashbuckle into it. Everytime I run this code, gives the following error in SwashConfig.cs.

    }
}

Something is very much wrong. Please help.
I'm using:

A: I think where your going wrong could be that you have commented out this line of code on the SwaggerConfig :-
[assembly: PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(SwaggerConfig), "Register")]

You have then decided to run this line of code after the RoutesConfig has registered all of the routes,
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(config => SwaggerConfig.Register(config));
You should try removing the line above, and try allowing SwaggerConfig to run on PreApplicationStartup as per default behaviour.
The error message, to me.. (Ive only used swagger with Web API) suggests that your trying to add the routes for swagger to0 late in the pipeline.
Good Luck.

What is Translator Software?
Translator software is used to convert a program written in high-level language and assembly language to a form that the computer can understand. Translator software converts a program written in assembly language, and high-level language to a machine-level language program (Figure 6.13). The translated program is called the object code. There are three different kind of translator software:
Assembler,
Compiler, and
Assembler converts a program written in assembly language to machine language. Compiler and interpreter convert a program written in high-level language to machine language. Let's now discuss, briefly, the different kinds of translator software.
Difference Between a Compiler and An Interpreter:
Compiler and Interpreter are used to convert a program written in high-level language to machine language; however, they work differently. The key differences between a compiler and an interpreter are as follows:
Interpreter looks at a source code line-by-line. Compiler looks at the entire source code.
Interpreter converts a line into machine executable form, executes the line, and proceeds with the next line. Compiler converts the entire source code into object-code and creates the object code. The object code is then executed by the user.
For a given source code, once it is compiled, the object code is created. This object code can be executed multiple number of times by the user. However, interpreter executes line-by-line, so executing the program using an interpreter means that during each execution, the source code is first interpreted and then executed.
During execution of an object code, the compiler is not required. However, for interpretation, both interpreter and the source code is required during execution (because source code is interpreted during execution).
Since interpreter interprets line-by-line, the interpreted code runs slower than the compiled code.

Macedonian News
Republic of Macedonia daily news and political analysis from various sources, brought to you by VMacedonia.com the Macedonian portal.
Macedonia: New Name for Thessaloniki Airport
Reports say there will be another round of talks on the Macedonia 'name' row in August, while Skopje has urged Greece to rename Thessaloniki's airport as a sign of good will.
Macedonian media cite an interview that Matthew Nimetz gave for the Greek Net TV in which he calls on Greece and Macedonia to focus on resolving the name issue which has stalled Macedonia's NATO accession.
Nimetz said that both sides so far have been constructive over many of his suggestions but noted that there is still much to be done to reach a solution that would satisfy both sides.
Meanwhile Macedonian daily Dnevnik cites unnamed Macedonian and Greek diplomats as saying that during the latest round of name talks in early July, Skopje asked Athens to bring back the old name to the Thessaloniki airport as a sign of good will.
Since 1992, a year after Macedonia declared its independence from the former Yugoslavia, the airport was renamed from "Micra" to "Macedonia."
The sources explain that Skopje's latest attempt to open side issues in the name talks is a reaction to a similar tendency by Athens. Greece strongly opposed the renaming of Skopje's international airport from "Petrovec" to "Alexander the Great" in early 2007 and is still arguing that it represents a provocation.
"This is an attempt to motivate Greece to focus on the name issue which is the subject of the United Nations sponsored talks," Macedonian government source says.
Relations between the two countries significantly worsened in April when Greece blocked Macedonia's invitation to join NATO arguing that the country should change its name first.
Athens argues the name Macedonia implies Skopje's territorial claims over Greece's own northern province of the same name.
The UN sponsored talks have been ongoing for 15 years.
Labels: Greece, Macedonia, Name Dispute
Why is Greece so afraid on the issue of Northern Greece [Macedonia} from the Republic of Macedonia? Greeces army consists of 240000 as opose to the Macedonias army of less then 8000? Greeces reason is not that Macedonia will overpower Greeces army,but Greece is afraid of recognition of its Macedonian minority.Those are the only reasons Greece does not recognize the Republic of Macedonia and used the Veto in Bucharest and threatening same for EU.Greece must learn to live in peace with its neigbours,Macedonia will not attack Greece.
Etymology (Greek word)
There are a number of theories regarding the etymology of the name "Macedonia". According to ancient Greek mythology, Makednos was a grandson of Deucalion and son to Aeolus(Hesiod) or a grandson of Hellen (Hellanicus). He gave his name to the tribes of the Macedonians, a group of tribes that occupied and settled parts of what is nowadays considered western, southern and central Macedonia and founded the kingdoms of Macedon.
Homer uses the adjective makednós, translated as "tall", to describe a poplar tree and which the grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria records as a Doric word meaning "large" or "heavenly". It has been suggested that both the Macedonians (Makedónes) and their Makednoí tribal ancestors were regarded as tall people, hence their name
According to Herodotus, the Makednoí were a Hellenic tribe that occupied and settled the country that they named Macedonia. Those Macedonians that still chose to migrate south and later invaded Peloponnesus were renamed to Dorians one of the principal ancient Greek tribes.
