Looking back at the last three matches between Australia and England
It's one of the oldest rivalries in sport and while there have already been a few digs in the lead up to kickoff of their Test series, today we look back at the last three matches between England and Australia, as well as look forward to the first Test of the series.
England have actually won two out of the three last matches against the Wallabies but crucially Australia won the most recent clash, sending England out of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Both sides have been in exceptional form since their new coaches took over.
Australia have looked like a different side under Michael Cheika and performed excellently, reaching the World Cup final. Equally England have won all six games under Eddie Jones, including a Grand Slam, but a return to Australia will be England's biggest test yet.
Here is a quick look back at England and Australia's last three clashes.
England 20 – 13 Australia Autumn International 2013, Twickenham
England scored two opportunistic tries to win the match at Twickenham. Chris Robshaw finished calmly after a charge down and then Owen Farrell made a sniping run through the Australian defence for England's second try.
This saw England overturn a seven-point deficit after Matt Toomua scored for Australia by running over the top of Billy Twelvetrees. A close match in which England's pack gave them the edge.
Two tries from Ben Morgan secured England a hard fought victory. Once again Foley was on the scoresheet for Australia alongside Will Skelton.
Brad Barritt put in a heroic performance in defence putting his body on the line in some big collisions, while George Ford scored 16 points to help England to overpower Australia and earn a much needed victory after defeats to New Zealand and South Africa earlier in the month.
England 13 – 33 Australia 2015 Rugby World Cup, Twickenham
This is a game that England fans will not want to be reminded of. A masterclass from Bernard Foley knocked England out of the World Cup at the group stage. The Wallabies dominated the first half with two tries from Foley. An Anthony Watson try briefly put England back in the game before the Australians pulled away.
A Matt Giteau try ended England's humiliation and rounded off a dominant performance. The gulf in class between Foley, Giteau, Beale and the England play makers was painstakingly evident. This is a match that the England players will undoubtedly want revenge for.
1st Test Prediction
Australia 21 – 16 England 11 June 2016, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Summer Tour
Australia are just going to edge the first Test by two tries to one. The individual ability of the backs including the likes of Israel Folau, Tevita Kuridrani and Foley gives Australia a slight advantage.
The quality of Michael Hooper and David Pocock is going to make it difficult for England to get quick ball consistently. England do not have a settled midfield line up and the backrow that won the Six Nations is not suited to the pace of the game that England will face on Saturday.
That being said, you can expect England to challenge the Wallabies physically with a powerful pack and they will most likely win at least one game in the series.
Australia: 15. Israel Folau; 14. Dane Haylett-Petty, 13. Tevita Kuridrani, 12. Samu Kerevi, 11. Rob Horne, 10. Bernard Foley, 9. Nick Phipps, 1. Scott Sio, 2. Stephen Moore (c), 3. Greg Holmes, 4. Rory Arnold, 5. Rob Simmons, 6. Scott Fardy, 7. Michael Hooper, 8. David Pocock.
Replacements: 16. Tatafu Polota-Nau, 17. James Slipper, 18. Sekope Kepu, 19. James Horwill, 20. Dean Mumm, 21. Sean McMahon, 22. Nick Frisby, 23. Christian Lealiifano
England: 15. Mike Brown; 14. Anthony Watson, 13. Jonathan Joseph, 12. Luther Burrell, 11. Marland Yarde; 10. Owen Farrell, 9. Ben Youngs, 1. Mako Vunipola, 2. Dylan Hartley (c), 3. Dan Cole, 4. Maro Itoje, 5. George Kruis, 6. Chris Robshaw, 7. James Haskell, 8. Billy Vunipola.
Replacements: 16. Luke Cowan-Dickie, 17. Matt Mullan, 18. Paul Hill, 19. Joe Launchbury, 20. Courtney Lawes, 21. Danny Care, 22. George Ford, 23. Jack Nowell

Johnny Cash - American V: A Hundred Highways - American / Lost Highway
The poignancy and brilliance of the fifth and final installment of Johnny Cash's American series is a lasting testimony to the genius of an American icon. As reported in Rolling Stone magazine, the story goes that the day after his wife June Carter Cash died on May 15th, 2003, Johnny Cash called Rick Rubin - his producer and said to him: "I have to get to work. If you don't have something for me to do every day, I'm going to die." Unfortunately, his life ended too soon.
In the four months between June's death and his own, Cash recorded 30 songs. Nearly blind and confined to a wheelchair and his baritone weakened and fragile you can hear Cash's sadness and resignation in every one of his utterances, phrases and guitar strums. There is death all over this album, yet it is optimistic and bittersweet. Throughout he grieves for his wife that he loved so dearly and knowing that his time has come their is reflection and a spirituality that could only come in the time of his life as he faces his own death.
Originally intended as a gospel album the concept of American 5 soon came to include covers of songs by Bruce Springsteen ("Further On Up The Road"), Hank Williams ("On The Evening Train"), Ian Tyson's classic "Four Strong Winds", and the most powerful song on the record, a cover of Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind." As with his previous American releases, Cash is supported by a stellar group of musicians including Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell and guitarists Smokey Hormel (of Beck's band), Randy Scruggs, Pat McLaughlin, and Jonny Polonsky.
American 5 is stark, bold, sad and fitting farewell from The Man In Black.

US Starts Training Turkish Troops for Joint Syria Patrols

Turkey will soon conduct joint patrols with U.S. forces in the strategic northern Syrian town of Manbij, once a stronghold of the Islamic State group, a top Turkish official said on Friday, Sept. 21, 2018.

The Associated Press | By Lolita C. Baldor
PARIS — The U.S. has now begun training Turkish troops, marking the final step before the two countries begin conducting joint patrols likely later this month around the strategic northern Syrian city of Manbij, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Monday.
Mattis said that initial instruction for Turkey's military trainers started, and will soon be followed by U.S. training of the broader Turkish force that will conduct the patrols. The forces are being trained in Turkey.
The training had been delayed a bit while equipment was brought in and the two countries worked out the details of how military tactics and operations would be conducted.
Ibrahim Kalin, Turkey's presidential spokesman, said last week that the patrols would "begin very soon." Mattis would not commit to a timeline, but acknowledged progress in the training steps needed for the patrols to start.
The Manbij patrols are part of a "road map" that Ankara and Washington agreed on in June to defuse tensions amid Turkish demands for the withdrawal of a U.S.-backed Kurdish militia that freed the town of Manbij from the Islamic State group in 2016.
"We have every reason to think the joint patrols will be coming on time when the training syllabus is complete," Mattis told reporters traveling with him en route to Paris. "We just got to an agreement last week."
Mattis said the Turkish military has "been very helpful, very professional on setting the rules of engagement and the training up, and we're on the ground there now."
The U.S. and the Turks have been conducting independent patrols along the border there. Creating joint patrols is seen as a way to tamp down potential violence between the various groups in the area.
Manbij has been a major sticking point in the strained relations between the U.S. and Turkey. Ankara considers the U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Units, or YPG, a terror group that is linked to a Kurdish insurgency within Turkey.
Kalin said continued U.S. support for the Kurdish forces remains "a serious concern."
In July, the Manbij Military Council, which administers the town, said the YPG units once stationed there had completed their withdrawal. Turkey's Foreign Ministry called reports of the alleged withdrawal "exaggerated" and said they didn't "reflect the truth."
Mattis is expected to meet with senior French leaders on Tuesday then head to Brussels for a meeting later this week of allied defense ministers.

Uncertainty is the only certainty according to Restaurants Canada's Foodservice Facts report
TORONTO – What does the next normal look like for Canada's restaurant industry? The 2020 Foodservice Facts Report released by Restaurants Canada sheds some light on this question.
"The greatest challenge our industry will face is the uncertainty that this crisis will have on restaurant businesses and how long the effects will last," says Chris Elliott, Senior Economist at Restaurants Canada. "The foodservice industry will change from what we've known and continue to pivot and adapt its business model to survive."
In 2019, foodservice generated over $93 billion in sales and was on track to surpass $100 billion in sales in 2021. Due to the pandemic, however, the restaurant industry could now lose between $21.7 billion and $44.8 billion in annual sales this year, according to Restaurants Canada.
"The range in the forecast reflects tremendous uncertainty as to the industry heads into fall and winter," says Elliott. "Restaurants are likely to see further erosion in sales in the coming months with patio season-ending and possible consumer trepidation about indoor dining. A second wave of confirmed COVID-19 cases would potentially lead to sharply lower sales."
While all of this will lead to further permanent restaurant closures, trends we saw pre-COVID were accelerated and may present opportunities to restaurants who have the ability to pivot their business as we move forward in the new normal.
Findings from the Foodservice Facts Report offer insights and results from these trends:
At the height of the crisis in April 2020, on-premise orders accounted for a mere 4% of sales compared to more than 50% in 2019.
'Ghost Kitchens' present an opportunity for brands to operate with no storefront and focus entirely on delivery through mobile and online platforms
60% of customers surveyed show interest in ordering delivery from a ghost kitchen.
Nearly one in five restaurants have diversified and will continue to sell meal kits going forward.
More than half of restaurants offering contactless payment options and contactless pick-up/curbside pick-up.
"The strength of Canada's restaurant industry is its creativity and sheer determination. While restaurant sales will one day return to pre-COVID-19 levels, the industry will be vastly different from before," says Elliott. "In the coming years, we will see the acceleration of many trends, such as the rise in ghost kitchens, alcohol delivery and the adoption of technology as restaurants focus on raising productivity."
As the foodservice industry looks to navigate these long-lasting changes, Restaurants Canada's 30+ research reports specifically tailored for restaurant operators and suppliers provide the insights and data needed to make the best decisions for your foodservice business while on the road to recovery.

Restaurants Canada is a national, not-for-profit association advancing the potential of Canada's diverse and dynamic foodservice industry through member programs, research, advocacy, resources and events. Before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada's foodservice sector was a $93 billion industry, directly employing 1.2 million people, providing Canada's number one source of first jobs and serving 22 million customers across the country every day.

Q: efficient algorithm for comparing two lists I'm building a similarity matrix of a list of items.
The naive approach is to iterate the list twice, but this needlessly will compare A:B and B:A when they're the same.
for A in items:
   for B in items:
      if A==B: continue
      sim[A][B] = calc_sim(A, B)

is there a simple way to only calculate half of the values?
I could put a skip in there like
if sim[B][A]: continue # already calculated in other direction

But still the iteration is happening.
Effectively I just want to iterate through the top or bottom half of the grid:

There are some similar Qs, but nothing with a canonical answer.
This seems like a basic CS algo question!

A: You could use itertools.combinations.
import itertools

for a, b in itertools.combinations(items, 2):
    sim[a][b] = sim[b][a] = calc_sim(a, b)

A: Assuming calc_sim(A, B) == calc_sim(B, A), you could try this:
for A in range(0, len(items)):
   for B in range(A, len(items)): # Replace with A+1 if you don't want the case A == B
      # Remember A and B are indexes, so change code accordingly
      result = calc_sim(items[A], items[B])
      sim[A][B] = result # Copy result to both A,B and B,A as they are equal
      sim[B][A] = result

However actually both algorithms are O(n) n2

A: If you need just a general algorithm to reduce number iterations, you can limit the range of the inner loop
for i, A in enumerate(items):
   for B in items[:i]:
      sim[A][B] = calc_sim(A, B)

But if you are looking for Python-specific optimization, it would be much better to use numpy vectorization. For example, if calc_sim(a, b) computes squared difference between a and b, then it can be vectorized the following way:
import numpy as np

list = [1, 2, 3]
array = np.array(list)
sim = np.square(array[:,np.newaxis] - array)

[[0 1 4]
 [1 0 1]
 [4 1 0]]

Army to Form Command to Streamline Modernization
Photo by: AUSA News
The Army plans to create a command aimed at streamlining Army modernization, top officials announced today.
The new command, the name and locale of which have not been disclosed, was announced by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley and Acting Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy during the Association of the U.S. Army's Annual Meeting and Exposition. The three-day event opened today at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Noting that the Army's competitive edge has eroded in an increasingly dangerous world, officials said the new command will help the Army get up to speed faster.
"The Army is in need of serious modernization," McCarthy said. Old platforms that have been upgraded for the past 40 years cannot withstand many more upgrades, he said. The Army needs new equipment, quickly.
"Our peer competitors are doing it faster than us," he said. "If you don't adapt in a changing environment, you die."
If the Army needs to be modernized, so too, does the process, both leaders said. The Army needs to transform the acquisition and modernization process, which is cumbersome and unwieldy. "We have to shift gears a little bit, because future readiness matters," Milley said. "We are restructuring the corporation."
Rather than continue the current system that is more bureaucratic than practical, the Army wants to put the modernization process under one tent, so to speak.
The details have not fully been worked out, but the scope of the new command will extend "from idea to delivery," McCarthy said.
Priorities include the following key areas:
A long-range precision fires capability to restore Army dominance in range, munitions and target acquisition.
A next-generation combat vehicle.
Vertical lift platforms in manned, unmanned and optionally manned variants.
An Army network that can be used even in areas where the electromagnetic spectrum is denied or degraded.
Air and missile defense capabilities.
Soldier lethality.
The new command will draw from within existing force structure, officials said, and is not expected to create civilian job losses or movements.
The Army plans to stand up the new organization by the summer of 2018, Milley said. As such, the Army has assigned Lt. Gen. Ed Cardon to lead a task force that will study and plan the new organization.
Cardon has begun the 120-day planning process.
The Army announced the project now, Cardon told AUSA, because the annual meeting is a good forum for presenting the plan. Much is riding on the new command, officials said.
"Unless we do this we will be increasingly losing ground against potential adversaries," Milley said.
"Our soldiers deserve the gold standard," McCarthy said, adding that he intends to give it to them.

The diagnosis of HB is established by assaying F9 activity, rather than by genetic testing. Given that F9 is a vitamin K-dependent protein, all patients with mild to moderate reductions in F9 activity should be evaluated to exclude vitamin K deficiency. Reduced F9 activity in at-risk females typically confirms HB carrier status. However, normal F9 activity does not exclude the possibility of being a carrier. In this circumstance, molecular genetic testing would be the only option for diagnosis of HB.
Knowledge of F9 genotype does not alter clinical management of HB patients; however, it may predict the risk of developing F9 inhibitors and anaphylaxis in response to F9 concentrate therapy.12 Although knowledge of the proband's genotype is important for carrier testing of at-risk female family members, the size of the F9 gene renders it more amenable to analysis for the specific F9 mutation causing HB.
For a discussion applicable to molecular genetic carrier testing for HB, see the Clinical Utility of Testing section on HA.


Our separating and divorcing clients who are unable comfortably and reliably to coordinate with their former partners can often benefit from tools that can reduce their stress in dealing with their former or soon-to-be former partners and co-parents. Many different online and software programs exist to facilitate or enhance separated parents' abilities to arrange their children's schedules with each parent, but many of us have had very little first hand experiences with any of them. To help family law attorneys, and related professionals such as parenting coaches and child development specialists in the mental health and therapy fields, to make more informed suggestions to our clients and patients, this article assembles an extensive list of these programs and software, though others may also exist, in order to invite further investigation by or for professionals who represent or counsel individual clients (or patients, as the case may be), or even by the clients themselves, depending on their needs and comfort levels using such programs and software.

Rogers accumulates historical details-contextual information-from which he extrapolates the satirists' meanings and intentions. By doing so, he illuminates the works. Rogers points out what "has passed unobserved" (12), corrects the "misreading of a literary joke" (48), explicates and deciphers "neglected allusions" (55) and "embedded cultural allusions" (59), and fills in what has been "missed" (19, 63, 78) or has languished "unexplained" (281).

It covers some of the best known works of eighteenth-century British literature, including The Rape of the Lock, The Dunciad, and The Beggar's Opera.
The Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot is a satire in poetic form written by Alexander Pope and addressed to his friend John Arbuthnot, a physician. It was first published in 1735 and composed in 1734, when Pope learned that Arbuthnot was dying. Pope described it as a memorial of their friendship. It has been called Pope's "most directly autobiographical work", in which he defends his practice in the genre of satire and attacks those who had been his opponents and rivals throughout his career.

Documenting Eighteenth Century Satire provides a historicized view of Augustan satire, through detailed readings of individual works. It aims to show how these satires can be documented in various ways to reveal richer meanings. The book ranges across different modes of satire, in poetry, prose and drama. It covers some of the best known works of eighteenth-century British literature, including The Rape of the Lock, The Dunciad, and The Beggar s Opera. In addition it deals with less familiar but important texts, including Gay s Trivia, Pope s Epistle to Miss Blount, and Swift s poem on Sid Hamet, as well as works of great literary merit which have been unduly neglected, including Pope s Duke upon Duke and Swift s The Bubble. One essay offers the first full interpretation and edition of a poem that surfaced in the 1970s, still virtually unknown, written by Pope and/or Gay. Another describes a previously unsuspected hoax by the Scriblerians on the quest for the longitude, while one more finds an unsuspected, but close, link between poems by Pope and Pushkin. Sources are drawn from numerous unpublished documents (wills, private letters, inventories, estate deeds, marriage contracts and private correspondence). Extensive use is made of contemporary newspapers, magazines and pamphlets. Most of these have not been quarried heavily (if at all) before. Some essays are completely new while others have been extensively revised for this book.

We will continue to closely coordinate our positions regarding major security policy issues in the run-up-to the upcoming debate of the December European Council on the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy, during the expected follow-up debate on EU strategic outlook and in preparation of the next year's NATO Summit.
We highly appreciate the dialogue between the V4 and partner countries also on defence related issues, which we commit to take forward.We strongly believe that regional initiatives and projects offer an effective way to mitigate capability shortfalls efficiently and to avoid overlaps. Therefore, we will seek to further improve practical cooperation among our armed forces and defence industries.
We, the Prime Ministers of the Visegrad countries, task our defence ministers to report back to us at the end of the Hungarian presidency about the progress achieved in these areas.

Q: Featherlight gallery change previous and next arrows style I'm using featherlight gallery to display a bunch of images in a lightbox. Everything works amazingly, I would just like to change the style of the arrows.
Reading the docs, I see that I can easily change the icon of the arrows with any character, but i don't understand how to change other style elements.
For example, I would like to make the arrows black instead of white and fix them, not just make them appear on hover.
So far I have an ugly solution where I use js to change the style attributes, like so
document.getElementsByClassName("featherlight-next")[0].getElementsByTagName("span")[0].style.color="black";

I'm a begginer with js, jquery, html and css, but I guess there must be a more elegant and practical solution.
I cannot change featherlight css since I'm loading it on the go from here:
cdn.rawgit.com/noelboss/featherlight/1.7.13/release/featherlight.gallery.min.js

people and heritage
About the Photograph:
In the words of our photographer, "I once travelled in Myanmar. I felt the inner peace when observing faithful people meditating and praying at temples and stupas. Their interrelation with that religious heritage reminds me that if we control our material demand and pursue mental fulfillment, sustainable development may come true. Best wishes for Burmese!"
Sanchuan is a master student of Sustainable Development, with 10 years experience as an urban planner in China, currently looking for an after graduation job this September in the reuse of #CulturalHeritage and #SustainableTourism.
In the words of our photographer: "New technologies are impacting the world of historical preservation and heritage research. Today, learning to apply different tools and documentation techniques to assist heritage survey and research is also an important part of heritage professional education. This photo is taken from the IPW3 (integrated project work) in RLICC (Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation) when the student is doing an in-situ survey by using 3D scanner and total station."
Peng Ieng Lei is from Macao. Graduated in Heritage Management from IFTM, she is currently a master's student of Conservation of Monuments and Sites at KU Leuven, RLICC. She was also Deputy Managing Director at澳門文遺研創協會 Macao Cultural Heritage Reinventing Studies Association. Moreover, she had a half-year internship at the University of Evora - HERCULES Laboratory.
Those experiences allowed her to be adaptive as well as sensitive to the connection between sociology, sustainability and cultural heritage conservation and management.
About the Drawing:
In the words of our drawer: "Historic cities and urban heritage are an invaluable resource for sustainable development. They provide opportunities for economic and social development while enhancing the sense of identity and belonging of the residents. For my submission, I chose to draw the creative reuse project of De Hallen, Amsterdam. In this project, Bureau van Stigt has transformed a former transportation warehouse into a multi-purpose community space which contains a library, eatery, shops, cinema and workshops. The pragmatic architecture of the tram shelter and the remains of its former use provide the space with a unique character that leads to memorable experiences."
Carlota Marijuán Rodríguez (@carlotamarijuan) is an architecture graduate from Spain and member of ESACH. She studied a Bachelor of Architectural Design at the University of Queensland @uniofqld (Australia) and a Masters in Architectural Design and History at the Politecnico di Milano @polimi (Italy). She is passionate about increasing civic engagement in cultural heritage and developing community-led planning in historic contexts.
museum and art
In the words of the author: "The power of museums to enhance the image of culture in the young. Pinacoteca di Brera is a clear example of the union of art and education, being not only a museum but also the location of the Academy of Fine Arts."
Sara Celin (@saracelin), recently graduated from the University of Bergamo (Italy) with a master's degree in Planning and Management of Tourism Systems, now works as web editor for two tourism websites: Visit Italy and Visit Venice. Cultural heritage has always been her greatest passion. One day she dreams of working in a cultural institution, such as UNESCO.
Travel "handmade drawing" in Colmenar de Oreja, a village within the tourist programme "11 Villas de la Comunidad de Madrid", which promotes Sustainable Cultural Tourism of proximity and highlights the cultural heritage, landscapes, gastronomy and tradition of the region.
Héctor is passionate about Architecture and Cultural Heritage, international and multicultural experiences. He considers languages, personal knowledge and contacts as essential tools for his daily life and his work at H2020 research projects, PhD activities and International Committees collaborations.
communicating culture
In the words of our photographer:
"It was the year 2019, on a cold January afternoon, walking by the river Siene in Paris with a friend. As we passed from under the bridge, right there before me, I saw for the first time, the magnificent site of the Notre Dame. It gave me this estatic feeling, so much that I took off my warm jacket and danced. Many of the times I am unable to express the beauty of the place in words. At heritage sites, I sense the energy rising from the ground and hits my veins like electricity, so I dance! Dance photography in heritage sites is a way of rebranding heritage. It combines the beauty of the human body, the energy of movement, and the passion of the subject. I finished dancing to the song of its bell tolls in my head and smiled. I felt complete. The next day, Paris saw its first snow cover, for the first time in years.
Little did I know that, in a few months time, that place will experience horror as the Notre Dame will burn down in flames. I watched it too, with the rest of the world. I paused, helpless. How lucky I was to experience that moment in time with a monument in all its glory. This picture is one for the books."
Rachel Bonnici is from Malta.
She's passionate about heritage, dance, and the sea! Currently Master Student of World Heritage Studies at @btucs.
World Heritage Challenges & Opportunities
About the Art:
"When we speak of " #WorldHeritage ", endangered cultures, both tangible and intangible, and natural species should be focused on as largely as the other heritages for its vulnerability towards modernization, conflicts, and the course of time. This visual collage art illustrates different segments of culture, nature, and people around the world that requires appreciation and appropriate action to protect their core values, culture, and environment to unite with other heritages of the world simultaneously."
Mahlaqa Fahami (@mahlaqafahami) is an architect and heritage enthusiast graduated from Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology in 2018, and currently pursuing a master's degree on World Heritage Studies at @btucs. Her research interest prevails in the field of community architecture, heritage and migration.
Creating visual arts digitally is one of her personal interests as she believes art has the power to reach more audiences in the current digital world.

Where Archaeology Meets The Bible: Middle Babylonian Period [1000 – 625 BCE]
June 8, 2016 November 18, 2015 by admin
This is now the 4th installment of "Where Archaeology Meets The Bible". The previous installments can be found below in chronological order.
#1 Kassite Period [1600-1160 BCE].
#2 Middle Babylonian Period [1000 – 625 BCE].
Below I will be examining a number of texts from the Akkadian and Babylonian time of domination in the Ancient Near East (ANE). As I noted in previous posts, almost all of my data was pulled from Context Of Scripture, a 3 volume set containing archaeological data from the ANE. I would also like to note that many of these same findings can be found online at biblical archaeology sites like http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/
http://ancientworldonline.blogspot.com
http://krc.orient.ox.ac.uk/ociana/index.php
As I did in the previous post, here is a timeline of the events being examined. We start today on the top portion of this timeline right before the Assyrian Destruction in 721 and we will go into the meat of the Assyrian destruction by Sargon II and Sennacherib, ending on Nebuchadnezzar. We will also so that now southern Israel is being attacked as well as the north. Hezekiah is defeated in Jerusalem.
Inscriptions in and on Sargon's palace tell of the defeat of Hezekiah
During the reign of the Assyrian king, Sargon II, Judah is being besieged in the 14th year of Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:13). The military record of Sargon II in Israel is found on clay tablets in Sargon's palace in Khorsabad. These retell the story plus some extra information.
In this account 27,290 more people are exiled and 50 chariots taken.
[The inhabitants of Sa]merina, who agreed [and plotted] with a king [hostile to] me, not to do service and not to bring tribute [to Ashshur] and who did battle, I fought against them with the power of the great gods, my lords. I counted as spoil 27,280 people, together with their chariots, and gods, in which they trusted. I formed a unit with 200 of [their] chariots for my royal force. I settled the rest of them in the midst of Assyria. I repopulated Samerina more than before. I brought into it people from countries conquered by my hands. I appointed my eunuch as governor over them. And I counted them as Assyrians.
(COS 2.118E, pg. 296-297)
With the power and might of Ashur, my lord, I overwhelmed the district of Hezekiah of Judah…Azekah, his stronghold, which is located between my land and the land of Judah…I besieged by means of beaten earth ramps, by great battering rams brought near its walls, and with the attack of foot soldiers […] They had seen the…of my cavalry and they had heard the roar of the mighty troops of the god Ashur, and their hearts became afraid. I captured this stronghold, I carried off its spoil, I destroyed, I devastated, I burned with fire. I approached Ekron, a royal city of the Philistines, which Hezekiah had captured and strengthened for himself….His skillful battle warriors he caused to enter into it.
(COS 2, 2.119D, pg. 304)
The exiles were taught skills and an even heavier tribute was placed on the people remaining in the land. After Samaria, Sargon II continued into Egypt. Egypt had previously conspired with Hosea of Israel (2 Kings 17:3-5), and he defeated them in battle. This time Sargon tells of his abolishing of Azuri the king of Ashdod (in connection with Isaiah 20:1 from previous paragraph), who plotted against him. This defeat of Egypt is significant because Isaiah prophesied in that year that Egypt would fall to Sargon, king of Assyria (Isaiah 20:1-6).
In the year that the supreme commander, sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it— 2at that time the Lord spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, "Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet." And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.
3Then the Lord said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, 4so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives and Cushite exiles, young and old, with buttocks bared—to Egypt's shame. 5Those who trusted in Cush and boasted in Egypt will be dismayed and put to shame. 6In that day the people who live on this coast will say, 'See what has happened to those we relied on, those we fled to for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria! How then can we escape?' " (Isaiah 20:1-6 NIV)
Sennacherib tells of the final siege and capture of Jerusalem
The next big turn of events was the ascension of Sennacherib to the throne of Assyria (704-681BC). Sennacherib went against Hezekiah in battle at the Philistine strong-hold. As stated by 2 Kings 18:7-8, before the death of Hoshea, Hezekiah of Judah rebelled against the king of Assyria, and took over the Philistine territory as his own defense point.
Sennacherib records in a letter to his god Ashur that he destroyed the royal city of the Philistines, which Hezekiah had taken for himself. He describes the city as be surrounded by great towers that are most difficult, which is in agreement with the biblical account; having watchtowers and being very fortified (2 Kings 18:8).
In a later account of Sennacherib, he claims to have besieged 46 of Hezekiah's fortified cities, and the towns which he surrounded were without number. Hezekiah is described as being locked up in Jerusalem like a bird in a cage. Hezekiah was not utterly destroyed in this account because Sennacherib had to leave and go back to Nineveh. However, he captured some of Hezekiah's cities and forced a heavy tribute upon then. Additionally, he states that Hezekiah was so overwhelmed by his power that after he left to go back to Nineveh, Hezekiah sent messengers and tribute to him there. (Like similar Assyrian accounts, it was the "splendor of his lordship" that overwhelmed him.) The tribute that was sent back was so rich it even included some of the palace women.
As for Hezekiah the Judahite, 19who did not submit to my yoke: forty-six of his strong, walled cities, as well as 20the small towns in their area, 21which were without number, by levelling with battering-rams 22and by bringing up seige-engines, and by attacking and storming on foot, 23by mines, tunnels, and breeches, I besieged and took them. 24200,150 people, great and small, male and female, 25horses, mules, asses, camels, 26cattle and sheep without number, I brought away from them 27and counted as spoil. (Hezekiah) himself, like a caged bird 28I shut up in Jerusalem, his royal city. 29I threw up earthworks against him— 30the one coming out of the city-gate, I turned back to his misery. 31His cities, which I had despoiled, I cut off from his land, and 32to Mitinti, king of Ashdod, 33Padi, king of Ekron, and Silli-bêl, 34king of Gaza, I gave (them). And thus I diminished his land. 35I added to the former tribute, 36and I lad upon him the surrender of their land and imposts—gifts for my majesty. 37As for Hezekiah, 38the terrifying splendor of my majesty overcame him, and 39the Arabs and his mercenary troops which he had brought in to strengthen 40Jerusalem, his royal city, 41deserted him. (Sennacherib Prism, Column #3)
The account of Sennacherib invading Jerusalem told in the biblical texts of 2 Kings 18:13-37, says that Sennacherib came up against the fortified cities of Judah. Then Hezekiah repented before the king of Assyria and required of himself any tribute that the king imposed on him. Portions for the tribute were taken from the house of the Lord, such as silver, and gold from the doors. This seems to confirm the severe nature of the tribute spoken of by Sennacherib.
In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah's reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them. 14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria at Lachish: "I have done wrong. Withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand of me." The king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. 15 So Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the temple of the Lord and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
16 At this time Hezekiah king of Judah stripped off the gold with which he had covered the doors and doorposts of the temple of the Lord, and gave it to the king of Assyria. (2 Kings 18:13-37 NIV)
While Sennacherib was in Assyria he sent a letter back to Hezekiah declaring that his demise was inevitable and his God cannot save him (2 Kings 18:28-32). Isaiah the prophet comes to console him and encourage Hezekiah to trust in the Lord, and he takes head to the advice. Hezekiah goes into prayer before the Lord and the Lord speaks to him through Isaiah in 19:20 saying, "because you prayed to me about Sennacherib, I have heard you." Hezekiah is promised to be avenged and later in 19:37, when Sennacherib is killed in his own home, in Nineveh.
The biblical account does not mention why he returned to Assyria, but inscriptions from Sennacherib's annals of that time period tell of Sennacherib's trouble with and destruction of Babylon. The dating of the events from these annals texts are believed to be from the year 689BC, just two years before Manasseh succeeded Hezekiah on the throne. Described as his second campaign against Babylon.
"I marched quickly against Babylon which I was set upon conquering. Like the onset of a storm I swept, (and) like a fog I enveloped it. I laid siege to that city; with mines and siege machines. I personally took it." (COS 2, 2.119E, pg. 276)
This turn of events sheds light on the events of 2 Kings 20:1-21, where the king of Babylon tried to befriend Hezekiah. Berodach-baladan, son of Merodach-baladan was the king of Babylon at the time of Sennacherib. His father, Merodach-baladan, was king of Babylon during the reign of Sennacherib and was attacked in Sennacherib's first and second (last) siege on Babylon. Thus, it is likely that Berodach-baladan, took over Babylon after the final siege of Sennacherib. When Merodach-baladan's death occurred is uncertain. In the account of the final siege he was taken alive, and comically, that in his fear of Sennacherib, that he defecated in his chariot. Nevertheless, his son was in charge of the remains of Babylon before the death of Hezekiah, and he sent him a letter and a gift when we found out that he was sick (2 Kings 20:12). Hezekiah welcomes this relationship and shows him all the treasures of the temple, which provokes Isaiah to prophesy what is about to become of Judah in the next 100 years when the Babylonians will overrun them and take all they have to Babylon (2 Kings 20:17).

Where Can I Donate an Old Computer?
Q: I just bought a fancy new iMac, but my old PC from '96 still works, and I can't bear to throw it out. Where can I donate?
A: Plenty of organizations can put your old computer to good use. For 2000 and younger models in good to mint condition, try Art Start (800-224-0990; art-start.org), which offers art-education programs to low-income and homeless youths. "Many of the kids we work with go to school and need more access to technology," says development director Erin O'Toole. For laptops and desktops, printers, scanners, and CD-rom drives in good shape, call the Brotherhood/Sister Sol (212-283-7044; brotherhood-sistersol.org), whose after-school technology center in Harlem serves low-income black and Latino teenagers. "We don't have a cutoff year," says co-director Jason Warwin, "and we're not against picking up from your home." If you're thinking globally, Non-Profit Computing (212-759-2368) distributes computers to needy organizations from Brooklyn to Madagascar. "We're stocking up the learning centers of around 40 refugee camps in Africa right now," says director John L. German. Just remember: The truly charitable don't pocket the expensive parts of their computers before donating them.

Vape-Related Lung Illness and Deaths
by Loren DeVito, PhD
Written by Loren DeVito, PhD
Understanding vitamin E acetate
This week, you've likely run across numerous headlines about vaping and e-cigarettes linked to recent lung illness and deaths across the US. The alarming nature of this news likely put you on pause, and you might be looking at that vape pen with critical eyes.
So, let's discuss what's happened and how you can protect your health.
What Is Vape-Related Lung Disease?
It's certainly not news that use of vape pens and e-cigarettes has increased exponentially over the past few years. Reasons for this trend include ease of use, discretion (especially for cannabis users), and mitigating health risks associated with traditional smoking methods. However, vaping poses its own types of risks.
Studies have shown that e-cigarettes can contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. [1] The potential harm from these chemicals varies and appears dependent upon device power and aerosol particle size. [1,2] A study published in August, however, found that even nicotine-free e-cigarettes can cause short-term changes in blood flow and oxygenation rates. [3]
For these reasons and more, the FDA recently sent a warning to JUUL, a company that manufactures and markets e-cigarettes, for their health claims. Younger people, who are increasingly using e-cigarettes, are especially vulnerable to the addictive properties and potential harms of these products.
And this summer, cases of vape-related lung disease and associated deaths began emerging. In fact, a study published in early September in The New England Journal of Medicine described 53 cases of lung illness; the vast majority of patients had used vape products with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) within 90 days prior to experiencing symptoms. [4]
What Is Vitamin E Acetate?
After analyzing the devices associated with some of these cases, New York health officials identified vitamin E acetate, an additive used in some cannabis vape cartridges, as the likely cause of the lung illness and associated deaths.
Vitamin E acetate, or tocopheryl acetate, is a form of oil that is commonly used in cosmetics. When inhaled, like other lipids, the oil can stick to the lungs, gumming up essential tissue. This prevents the body from receiving enough oxygen, which leads to pneumonia-like symptoms. [4,5] These symptoms can be serious and can lead to death.
Vitamin E acetate is found in many "illicit" vape cartridges, meaning that they were not purchased from legal medical or recreational dispensaries. These are the cartridges implicated in the recent illnesses and deaths.
This additive is used because it is cheap and easy to come by—but is NOT safe for inhalation. Therefore, the CDC has issued a warning to consumers advising them not to use any vape pens or cartridges purchased from the illicit market.
What Can You Do To Protect Your Health?
This issue has brought to light the importance of standardized testing and regulation across markets—something that is currently lacking and poses danger to consumers. Even products sold in medical or recreational dispensaries may not undergo comprehensive, rigorous testing.
Government authorities in many states are now taking steps to ensure that manufacturers of vape pens and cartridges do not use vitamin E acetate and other potentially harmful additives and chemicals.
If you are concerned about your health, you are certainly not alone. As described, there are many reasons why people may choose to vape cannabis; however, another important consideration is dose control. For patients using cannabis to control symptoms like acute pain, quick onset can provide needed relief. So, what should you do?
There are many different ways to consume cannabis, such as smoking/vaporizing flower, or using oils, tinctures, edibles, and other formulations. While this story will likely continue to evolve, for now, consider guidance from authorities on staying away from illicit vape pens and cartridges. And check products purchased in legal dispensaries to make sure they do not contain vitamin E acetate.

The Big Challenge, a citywide competition in Sheffield, aims to educate and introduce young people to the business world;
The Big Challenge, a citywide competition in Sheffield, aims to educate and introduce young people to the business world; small teams work independently to set up their own businesses and sell their products, with guidance and support from their business mentor at school. The competition culminates with a presentation that takes place in front of a panel of judges, where the winning business and individual awards are announced. This year a group of Y9 Tapton students won the prize of 'Best KS3 Business' with their brand Kwirki. Libby Bull, Natasha Meek, Lily Smith and Jess Sylvester each won £100 in Meadowhall vouchers and an all-expenses paid trip to Rome. Rebekah Cohen reports ...
They have been working hard since July creating handmade, cute jewellery and cushions inspired by the Japanese style of Kawaii, meaning 'cute and lovable'. To help them kick-start their business, teams have the option of taking a £25 loan which has to be paid back with interest. However Kwirki chose not to do this as they didn't want the added complication it entailed. Therefore they all contributed an equal amount of money to the business, to fund their products and marketing, aiming to pay back the costs as soon as possible. They sold their items at school, taking advantage of events such as open evenings and also applied to sell at markets. In order to achieve success with their brand, they each took on a role so that every aspect of their business could be developed. Jess was in charge of finance, Natasha was responsible for managing the website, Libby focussed on marketing and Lily helped manufacture the products. It was this strong work ethic, message and handmade concept, as well as the originality of their design and the fact that the whole business was suitably branded and imaginative, which the team think appealed to the judges about Kwirki.
Kwirki will enjoy their well deserved trip to Rome in June, which includes accommodation in a business hotel. There will be a planned itinerary enabling them to see all the beautiful sights of Rome and a visit to the headquarters of DLA Piper, the multinational law firm who sponsor The Big Challenge. None of the girls have been to Rome before, so this amazing opportunity will be both memorable and exciting for everyone.
Another Tapton business that achieved success in The Big Challenge was S10 Gifts, run single-handedly by fellow Y9 student Heather Wilde. She won the 'Shining Star' award which also meant a prize of £100 in Meadowhall vouchers. After breaking away from a very large team, she kept going on her own, working to produce handmade bath bombs, felt figures and bunting. It was this perseverance and her exceptional performance in managing her entire business by herself which won her the award.
The members of Kwirki and S10 Gifts would definitely recommend The Big Challenge to any students thinking of entering the competition next year. They all believe that taking part has provided them with important skills which will be extremely valuable for whatever they may do in the future and that the experience was incredibly worthwhile. "You've got to set yourself a challenge," they said. It also seems that the key to success is having a strong team who can work together by contributing different skills and ideas and perseverance, as proved by all the winners this year.

Consequence's Under the Tracks on Vans' Channel 66 Goes Skate Punk on New Episode
Ride into Chicago's skate music scene with host NNAMDÏ and guests Pete Wilson and Cafe Racer
Pete Wilson and Cafe Racer
April 5, 2021 | 11:15am ET
Consequence's bi-weekly livestream program Under the Tracks rides back to Vans' Channel 66 on April 5th. This week, Host NNAMDÏ welcomes guests Pete Wilson of Pete Willson & The Rooks and Cafe Racer to carve out the history of Chicago's skate music scene.
Each artist will put together a unique 45-minute DJ set that drops in on the punk, hardcore, and garage sounds that have soundtracked The Second City's skate culture throughout the decades.
A visual artist in addition to being the vocalist and guitarist for The Rooks, Pete Willson brings the sublime sensibilities of recent videos like "Look at the Skull in My Face" to his group's experimental rock sounds. Together with his fellow bandmates drummer Corin and bassist Kevo, his group's focus on the weird and overlooked aligns well with the skating subculture.
Comprising Michael Santana, Adam Schubert, Andrew Harper, Rob McWilliams, and Elise Poirier, Chicago's Cafe Racer blend psychedelic stoner metal, shoegaze, and post-punk for a sound that resonates with harmony. The five-pieces latest release, Shadow Talk, dropped last May and quickly sold out on vinyl.
NNAMDÏ will spend time spinning tracks and chatting tricks with Willson and Cafe Racer when Under the Tracks broadcasts live from House of Vans Chicago on Channel 66 this Monday, April 5th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CT. Tune in here, and keep an eye out for upcoming installments of Under the Tracks from Consequence.

At the mass for the conclusion of the Synod on the Family, the Pope warned faithful against two temptations: one is "the 'spirituality of illusion': we can walk through the deserts of humanity without seeing what is really there; instead, we see what we want to see. We are capable of developing views of the world, but we do not accept what the Lord places before our eyes. A faith that does not know how to root itself in the life of people remains arid"; the other is "we are able to walk with the People of God, but everyone must respect our rhythm and every problem is a bother".
In St. Peter's Basilica, Francis started off by saying that all "three Readings for this Sunday show us God's compassion, his fatherhood, definitively revealed in Jesus".
The Pope then warned faithful about "some temptations for those who follow Jesus. The Gospel shows at least two of them." Both of them are linked to certain attitudes witnessed during the General Assembly of the Ordinary Synod of Bishops on the Family.
