In a small village north of China's Guangdong province, Siugi spent her childhood exploring the mountains. As she grew up, she discovered a passion for English. She excelled in it and even majored in it in college. Excitedly, she left her simple life in the village to work in Guangzhou, the big city.
Guangzhou's industrial hustle and bustle also piqued the interest of John, a young man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, keen for an adventure. The adventure turned lonely, and when John met Siugi, he nearly wept with relief, grateful to have found a friend.
Their friendship bloomed into a sweet romance. As their relationship became more serious, John tried to share his faith with Siugi. "I thought he just wanted to pass on his Western culture," she says.
Even though their religious beliefs were not aligning, John and Siugi remained wrapped up in romantic bliss. After dating for a year, John flew her to Milwaukee to visit his family. While they were in Milwaukee, John thoughtfully brought Siugi to a Chinese church. She felt incredibly welcomed and loved, as the family environment of church was a far cry from visits to the temple where no one cared to get to know her. As Siugi left the service, the Chinese pastor introduced himself to her and gave her a Chinese book about Christianity. Siugi thanked him and promptly buried it in her suitcase.
But they could not fully let each other go. They reunited, and Siugi decided to give Christianity a chance. John gave her a Chinese-English Bible that his father had handed him before he moved to China.
Siugi thought it was a daunting text, so John also encouraged her to pray.
After some convincing, Siugi settled into bed and prayed to God for three consecutive nights. Wherever You are, God, I really want to get to know You. So if You really want me in Your life, just show me and give me a miracle to let me know You are there.
On the third night, Siugi had a vivid dream where she stood in her college classroom and noticed a tiny window of light. A hand reached down from the window and gave her a small note that said, "I'm God." Startled, Siugi wondered at the dream's meaning, but eventually she dismissed it.
The gospel still did not make much sense to her, so in desperation, she reached out online to a Chinese Christian man she had met once for help. His encouragement gave her hope: "Just hang in there. God will prepare for you to know Him deeper." He then connected her with a Chinese Christian girl who lived in Guangzhou.
The next Sunday, Siugi met the girl for church, and her new friend's warm welcome made Siugi feel like family. She was floored by how people at church came together as one united body and treated one another with kindness. For the first time, she felt a sense of a direction. Buoyed by this community of believers who understood her as one of their own, she attended church more regularly without John. She even rummaged through her suitcase for the book the Milwaukee pastor had given her. Slowly, Christianity started to make sense.
One Sunday at church, Siugi stood up for worship just like it was any other week. "I still remember the song. It's the song we always sing at The Austin Stone," Siugi says. When she starts humming "How Marvelous," her eyes well up.
There she stood, tears pouring down her face. In that intimate moment with the Lord, she accepted Christ as her Savior. This powerful experience imprinted on her heart, and even now, she weeps whenever she tells the story.
For a while, Siugi felt guilty that her interest in Christianity partly existed because of her love for John. But during that worship experience, she knew that she sincerely wanted to accept Christ. She realized that salvation did not come from John; it came from Christ. He was her foundation and the One who would root her, even if her world spun into chaos. She saw that her purpose is to live for Him.
Siugi's new faith in Christ did not immediately smooth a path forward for marriage to John. While they spent time in America so Siugi could experience more of John's home country, he struggled to prioritize their relationship over his new job.
So when they had to return to China, the Lord surrounded her with His peace and gave her wisdom for what to do. Siugi was ready to marry John, but John was not ready to marry Siugi. She was prepared to go back to China jobless and single, trusting in God's leading.
With quiet peace, she let him go. "Thank you for the two years of happiness that you have brought me," she told John, "but now I'm in God's hands." Even as they parted ways at the airport in China, Siugi knew with conviction that she could lean on God and His faithfulness.
Over time, John's heart and priorities changed. He asked Siugi to marry him, and she agreed. After they were married, Siugi and John settled in Austin, Texas. Siugi loves the community at The Austin Stone Community Church and feels extremely blessed to have grown so much, especially with the freedom to worship and delve into Scripture. Now she longs to tell her people that true satisfaction and joy comes from Jesus.
With this truth, Siugi trusts that her identity lies in Christ and that He will go before her in her future. Whether it is to stay in the States and share her story online with friends and family back in China or to actually go back to her homeland to spread the gospel, Siugi is committing herself to the Lord's plan.


Having received your support during the Orbea GF Vitoria-Gasteiz and hearing your suggestions, we at Orbea want to continue to share with you our passion for cycling with a new cycling tourism event. This time, it will take place on the roads and mountain passes of the historic territory of Bizkaia. It's an event that will combine emblematic locations with demanding passes that are unknown to many. The race covers a single distance and represents a real athletic challenge, probably that last great challenge of the season.
The route of the Orbea Klasika Bilbao-Bizkaia is not one for someone just getting started in the world of cycling tourism; quite the opposite, it's an event for advanced cycling tourists. For those who have survived a thousand battles, those who defy the law of balance and gravity.
The Orbea Klasika Bilbao-Bizkaia covers 128 km and 2,800 meters of positive elevation change. The very nature of the mountain passes, which cover a distance of nearly 5 kilometers, with slopes greater than 20% in some places, makes it advisable to use special gears.
The route of the Orbea Klasika Bilbao-Bizkaia takes us through a large number of towns. Its fantastic natural landscapes, including the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve, and the numerous points of interest are worthy of special mention, from both a historic and a tourism perspective.
As already mentioned, we at Orbea are offering you a new challenge. A 128-km race with 2800 meters of positive elevation change that takes you through some of the most beautiful locations in the Historic Territory of Bizkaia.
The starting and finish lines for this race will be on Mt. Artxanda. Traffic will be regulated, but not cut off along the route, and so participants in the Klasika Orbea Bilbao-Bizkaia will not have priority except as permitted by current traffic laws and regulations. It will therefore be necessary to obey all traffic laws in order to avoid possible sanctions from both the traffic authorities and the organization itself.
Remember that irresponsible actions not only jeopardize your own personal safety, they also endanger others and the future of sports competitions.
The Klasika Orbea Bilbao-Bizkaia offers you a great challenge worthy of true cycling fans. The route design is based on the very characteristics of these klasikas that have given us so many great moments. It's a medium-fondo event, but an incredibly intense one. An event in which the true protagonists, the participants, must save energy for the last thirty kilometers that will require them to squeeze out every last ounce of strength to reach the finish line.
Remember that if at this stage of the season, you haven't reached your maximum level, one thing that will save you will be the right choice of gears. Nobody but you knows what you can give. But remember, a 30 or even a 32 cog will get us out of a lot of tough situations and will enable us to enjoy the post-race pasta party with our companions.
With the "K" for Klasika and Kalidad Orbea.
After the race, there's no doubt that we'll proudly wear our Orca jersey that we worked so hard for. It's the jersey that shows we're true klasik enthusiasts. This garment will mark you as an expert cyclist. The "K" insignia stands for Klasika, but also for Kalidad; Orbea Quality.
At Orbea, we always work zealously so that everyone who participates in our events enjoys the best possible conditions. We provide a well-equipped health care unit, vehicles with medical assistance, auxiliary vehicles, support motorcycles, signalers and great refreshments. It's a way of showing our appreciation for the trust you have placed in us when taking part in Orbea-sponsored events. We want you to enjoy them as much as we enjoy working for you.
It's a race without any classifications, but with personal marks and times intended for anyone who particularly loves the sport of cycling and enjoys life on a bicycle.
Jersey for the men's and women's winner of each of the timed mountain passes.
Jersey for the men's and women's winner of the overall mountain competition.
Trophy for the most veteran participant (regardless of gender).
Trophy for the club with the most participants.
Both the men's and the women's winner of the overall KOBB mountain competition will receive a jersey recognizing them as the winners.
Trophies will be awarded to the top three riders in the Mountain G.P. classification.

Das Interview habe ich via E-Mail mit Cyrus geführt. Eine deutschsprachige, etwas kürzere Fassung erscheint auf fudder.de.
Cyrus Farivar: I think most (non tech-savvy) people are either unaware or don't care. I think the prevailing attitude is: "I have nothing to hide, so what's the big deal?" This makes me sad, as I don't think most people realize what the implications of this are, and how this is such a huge departure from what's been done/has been possible in the past. That being said, Congress recently aggressively questioned Department of Justice officials this past week, so maybe at least they can change the government's behavior.

Jews and Jesus
A provocative exploration of pride and providence
Post Date: March 26, 2005 - Issue Date: March 26, 2005
Passover and Easter are upon us, and so is a book with a fascinating title and audacious subtitle: David Klinghoffer's Why the Jews Rejected Jesus: The Turning Point in Western History (Doubleday, 2005).
On the title's crucial theological point: Mr. Klinghoffer, an orthodox Jew, rightly takes to task the "well-meaning Christian" seeking to improve Jewish-Christian relations by saying that Jesus' teaching was very close to that of the rabbis of the time. He also jumps past "New Perspective on Paul" theologians who do not find "substantial points of disagreement between Jesus and His contemporaries."
Both groups err, Mr. Klinghoffer notes, by not taking into full account the doctrine of the "oral Torah" that was sweeping through Judaism 2,000 years ago: "What Jesus rejected was the oral Torah that explains the written Torah. Essential to rabbinic Judaism, this concept of an oral Torah recognizes the Pentateuch as a cryptic document, a coded text. It posits that the Bible's first five books were revealed to Moses along with a key to unlock the code." That key was purportedly passed on orally throughout the generations.
Christians today learn that the New Testament explains certain previously mysterious Old Testament passages; proponents of the "oral Torah" (written down as the Talmud) claimed the same for their teaching. Jesus said, in essence, sola scriptura, the Bible alone: He allowed His followers to pluck grain on the Sabbath, which was perfectly fine according to the Bible but wrong according to the code. The code said that Jews should not wash their faces on fast days, but Jesus taught the opposite.
As Mr. Klinghoffer notes, "For Jesus, oral Torah was a man-made accretion without transcendent authority. He tells a group of Pharisees, 'So for the sake of your tradition, you have made void the word of God.' . . . This explains why he felt it was appropriate to teach solely on his own authority, rather than by citing previous sages." Some Christians today believe they have figured out the secret code of Revelation or other books of the Bible. Some Jews 2,000 years ago felt the same way, but Jesus flatly told them that there was no code: Just read and pray to put into practice what God's Word itself declares.
I wouldn't expect Mr. Klinghoffer to agree with Christian understandings of the Old Testament showing the need for grace and teaching about Christ's sacrifice-to-come, but his insights are still useful. For example, "The oral Torah values sociability and thus calls upon the individual to pray in company with a minimum of ten men (a minyan, or quorum). Jesus advised his followers, 'when you pray,' to pray by yourself, 'in secret.'" The New Testament, of course, also stresses the value of community worship, but Mr. Klinghoffer is right to see that Christianity does emphasize the role of the individual and not just the importance of the group.
Mr. Klinghoffer thus explains well "why the Jews rejected Jesus." But what about his subtitle, "the turning point in Western history"? He argues that "had the Jews embraced Jesus," believers would have stayed within Judaism and continued to practice "circumcision, Sabbath, kashrut (eating only Kosher food), family purity (abstaining from sex with one's wife during and for a week after menstruation), and so on . . . the Jesus movement might have remained a Jewish sect. . . . Christianity would not have spread wildly across the Roman Empire and later across Europe, as it did."
Mr. Klinghoffer continues his speculation: "No Christian Europe, and no Western civilization as we know it. Quite conceivably, Islam would have arisen more or less as it did. . . . Even with Christianity as the European faith, Islam nearly did penetrate and spread across the continent. . . . Had Christianity died as a failed Jewish sect in the year 70, Europe today might very well be Muslim. . . . If you value the great achievements of Western civilization and of American society, thank the Jews for their decision to cleave to their ancestral religion instead of embracing the rival teachings of Jesus and his followers."
Well, not exactly. Think of how much better in life and death a belief in Christ is for all people, including Jews. But God's providence does work out in surprising ways.

divine purpose in Nature, which went on developing from the fourth century to the nineteenth—from St. Basil to St. Isidore of Seville, from Isidore to Vincent de Beauvais, and from Vincent to Archdeacon Paley and the Bridgewater Treatises.
Like all else in the middle ages this sacred science was developed purely by theological methods. Neglecting the wonders which the dissection of the commonest animals would have afforded them, these naturalists attempted to throw light into Nature by ingenious use of scriptural texts, by research among the lives of the saints, and by the plentiful application of metaphysics. Hence even such strong men as St. Isidore of Seville treasured up accounts of the unicorn and dragons mentioned in the Scriptures and of the phoenix and basilisk in profane writings. Hence such contributions to knowledge as that the basilisk kills serpents by his breath and men by his glance, that the lion when pursued effaces his tracks with the end of his tail, that the pelican nourishes her young with her own blood, that serpents lay aside their venom before drinking, that the salamander quenches fire, that the hyena can talk with shepherds, that certain birds are born of the fruit of a certain tree when it happens to fall into the water, with other masses of science equally valuable.
As to the method of bringing science to bear on Scripture, the Physiologus gives an example in illustrating the passage in the book of Job which speaks of the old lion perishing for lack of prey. Out of the attempt to explain an unusual Hebrew word in the text there came a curious development of error, until we find fully evolved an account of the ant-lion, which, it gives us to understand, was the lion mentioned by Job, and it says: "As to the ant-lion, his father hath the shape of a lion, his mother that of an ant; the father liveth upon flesh and the mother upon herbs; these bring forth the ant-lion, a compound of both and in part like to either; for his fore part is like that of a lion and his hind part like that of an ant. Being thus composed, he is neither able to eat flesh like his father nor herbs like his mother, and so he perisheth."
The same sort of science flourished in the Bestiaries, which were used everywhere and especially in the pulpits for the edification of the faithful. In all of these, as in that compiled early in the thirteenth century by an ecclesiastic, William of Normandy, we have this lesson, borrowed from the Physiologus: "The lioness giveth birth to cubs which remain three days without life. Then cometh the lion, breatheth upon them, and bringeth them to life. . . . Thus it is that Jesus Christ during three days was deprived of life, but God the Father raised him gloriously."

Bruichladdich Octomore 9.1
(0.75l, 59.1%)
8.6/10 (14 votes)
Where there's Octomore, there's smoke.
The Bruichladdich (brook-ladie) distillery's history goes back to the 1880s when the Harvey brothers decided to make Whisky. It went through its renaissance in 2000 when a group of Whisky lovers revived it and got an esteemed Master Distiller Jim McEwan on board. Now, they produce 1.5 million liters of Scotch every year and each bottle is its own story. The people who make Bruichladdich Whisky are tough, stubborn and hard-working like their ancestors, but they are also nonconformist and believing in authenticity, they take risks and push the boundaries all the time. Now, the Spirit magicians of the Western Isles conjured something very special.
Octomore is a special line of superb peated Whiskies and the lads of Bruichladdich manages to trap the elusive smoke from the antediluvian subterranean world and use it to make an immensely elegant and subtle Scotch when you'd expect something aggressive and violent. At its 156 PPM, Octomore 09.1 is one of the most peated Whiskies and it's unlike anything you've tasted before. It's bold and breathtaking, aged for five years ex-American Whiskey casks, and limited to only 42 thousand bottles. It has a sleek and mature character that will treat you like a gentleman. Octomore's second name is Dialogos and a glass of this beauty will surely start a conversation.

Member Reviews and Ratings of Bruichladdich Octomore 9.1
Melynda, Mar 6, 2019
Very savory and meaty. A real smoke bomb that you can smell across the room. Not overwhelmingly dry, but has a great acidity that leaves you able to enjoy more.
Andrew, Mar 4, 2019
Holy shit...if you like drinking a campfire, this is it.
Charlie, Feb 21, 2019
Smoke is through the roof, with a strong peatiness
Justin, Jan 19, 2019
After drinking this some more, I've come to appreciate it more. It's still a bit overpowering, but that's what you get with cask strength scotch. This is a great follow up drink if you been drinking other smokey scotch. Have a nice Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Ardbeg, or Caol Ila before drinking this to get your palette headed in the right direction.
Is it good? Yeah, it's good if you like smokey scotch, but it's a bit of one-trick pony and it's hard to justify the steep price. If you want over-the-top phenol to the max, this is for you. If you want something more subtle and complex in the same wheelhouse, check out the Laphroaig, Ardbeg, Caol Ila, or the Lagavulin. If you want something smokey and over the top, but much more affordable, try a blend like Peat Monster, Smokehead, or Smokey Joe.

After leaving Davis, Herbie put together a new band called The Headhunters and, in 1973, recorded 'Head Hunters.' With its crossover hit single "Chameleon," it became the first jazz album to go platinum. By mid-decade, Herbie was playing for stadium-sized crowds all over the world and had no fewer than four albums in the pop charts at once. In total, Herbie had 11 albums in the pop charts during the 1970s.
His '70s output inspired and provided samples for generations of hip-hop and dance music artists. Herbie also stayed close to his love of acoustic jazz in the '70s, recording and performing with VSOP (reuniting him with his Miles Davis colleagues), and in duet settings with Chick Corea and Oscar Peterson.
In 2010 Hancock released the critically-acclaimed CD, 'Herbie Hancock's The Imagine Project,' winner of two 20ll Grammy Awards for Best Pop Collaboration and Best Improvised Jazz Solo. Utilizing the universal language of music to express its central themes of peace and global responsibility, the 'Imagine' project was recorded around the world and features a stellar group of musicians including Jeff Beck, Seal,Pink, Dave Matthews, The Chieftains, Lionel Loueke, Oumou Sangare, Konono #l, Anoushka Shankar, Chaka Khan, Marcus Miller, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Tinariwen, and Ceu.
Herbie Hancock also maintains a thriving career outside the performing stage and recording studio. Recently named by the Los Angeles Philharmonic as Creative Chair For Jazz, he currently also serves as Institute Chairman of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, the foremost international organization devoted to the development of jazz performance and education worldwide. Hancock is also a founder of The International Committee of Artists for Peace, and was awarded the much esteemed "Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres" by French Prime Minister Francois Fillon.
In July of 2011 Hancock was designated a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador by UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova. Recognizing Herbie Hancock's "dedication to the promotion of peace through dialogue, culture and the arts," the Director-General has asked the celebrated jazz musician "to contribute to UNESCO's efforts to promote mutual understanding among cultures, with a particular emphasis on fostering the emergence of new and creative ideas amongst youth, to find solutions to global problems, as well as ensuring equal access to the diversity of artistic expressions." UNESCO's Goodwill Ambassadors are an outstanding group of celebrity advocates who have generously accepted to use their talent and status to help focus the world's attention on the objectives and aims of UNESCO's work in its fields of competence: education, culture, science and communication/information.
In December of 2013, Hancock was the recipient of a prestigious Kennedy Center Honor, and in 2014 he was was named the 2014 Norton Professor Of Poetry at Harvard University, recently completing his lectures series, "The Ethics Of Jazz," as part of the Charles Eliot Norton Lecture Series for a period of six weeks. His memoirs, Herbie Hancock: Possibilities, will be published by Viking in the Fall.

The idea behind using a cold compress on the belly while exercising comes from scientific reviews of the impact of cold on weight loss, such as a 2011 study published in the "Obesity Reviews" journal, from Dr. Fiona Johnson of University College London, that suggests that dropping body temperature can trigger weight loss. Additional research also suggests that cooler external temperatures during exercise help drop extra pounds. But the reason that cold temperatures during exercise is linked to weight loss is simple: Cold temperatures cause bodily reactions, such as shivering.
According to Dr. Johnson's study, cooler external temperatures cause you to burn more calories because your body has to use more energy to keep warm. This increased energy use can be in the form of shivering, which provides a pretty good workout. Just feeling cold while you're working out won't cause weight loss. Cold weather doesn't increase caloric expenditure until you start shivering because that is the point where your body needs to work harder to maintain thermoregulation.
Hormonal actions and actions like shivering are the primary reason for energy expenditure during low temperatures. According to the American Council on Exercise, you can burn about 400 calories per hour when shivering, but the actual amount of calories burned depends on the temperature and how long you're exposed. So while it's true that colder temperatures can spur on weight loss -- if you stand outside in freezing temperatures and shiver for about 15 minutes, you may burn some more calories -- it might not be enough to be worth it.
A cold compress applied to your belly or shoulders while exercising may stimulate minimal additional weight loss, based on this concept. When you're exercising in a climate controlled environment, your body wil work to warm itself up to regulate against the cold compress, but the effect is small. If you're looking for anything to burn off calories after a binge weekend, then putting on a cold compress and working out may help.
Lasting weight loss comes from a combination of healthy eating and an active lifestyle. If you find yourself inside on a cold day, use the opportunity to take a run outside to encourage a little extra weight loss. While you may be running and exercising instead of standing and shivering, the higher level of consistent cold temperatures encourages your body to keep re-warming itself, which increases the calories you burn.

Furious Azhar, backed by teammates, lashes out at Kambli
New Delhi : Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin rubbished claims by his ex-teammate Vinod Kambli that the 1996 World Cup semi-final against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens could have been fixed. Azharuddin was backed by his former teammates Sanjay Manjrekar, Nayan Mongia and Venkatpathy Raju and the then team manager Ajit Wadekar who all said that the decision to chase was a collective cricketing decision.
Azharuddin, now a Congress MP from Moradabad, said Kambli was making false allegations.
"In the team meeting it was decided that we would bowl if we win the toss. In the last match (group stage) against Sri Lanka we lost despite scoring 271 at the Ferozeshah Kotla. So we decided to do something different at Eden Gardens and the decision was taken unanimously at the team meeting. May be when he was sitting in the meeting, he must have been sleeping," said Azharuddin, who was given a life-ban by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after being found involved in the 2000 match-fixing case.
"I think Kambli is just talking rubbish and making these statements… he has showed his class. He has betrayed the team," he added.
Asked whether the semi-final match was discussed when the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) interrogated him on the match-fixing case, Azharuddin said: "My case is still pending in the High Court and I don't wish to comment on the case. When my name is cleared everybody will come to know the truth… I am not affected by the allegations."
Azharuddin also said that he doesn't regret his decision to bowl first in the semi-final despite winning the toss.
"I don't have any regrets and why should I? It was a collective responsibility and the team took the blame for the loss. It is a game of match, you win some you lose some," said Azharuddin.
Azharuddin also said that Kambli was wrong to say that he was made a scapegoat after the match.
"Kambli was never made a scapegoat. He was dropped from the team purely on the basis of his form. In fact he should be thankful to me for the cricket that he has played. He has always maintained that I was the best captain he has played under and now his statement is very annoying. On several tours he could have sent back home due to his misdeeds. He was not disciplined and that spoiled him," he said.
"It would be unfair to say that Kambli never got his chance. He was included in the team in 1998 but injured his ankle that finished his career. I think if he had taken his cricket seriously he wouldn't be in this position now," the former captain added.
Kambli told a TV channel that he was stunned with India's decision to bowl first. Kambli was viewing his comments on former International Cricket Council (ICC) anti-corruption unit chief Paul Condon's claim that many teams were monitored for fixing in the late 1990s.
"I was stunned by India's decision to field. I'll never forget the match because my career ended after it. I was stunned by the decision to field," Kambli told a TV channel.
Kambli also claimed that then team manager Ajit Wadekar, also a former India captain, was aware of everything.
"Something was definitely amiss. However, I was not given a chance to speak and was dropped soon after. Our team manager at that time, Wadekar, was aware of everything," he said.
Wadekar, however, rubbished Kambli's claims and said the game was clean.
"I did not even think there was anything suspicious in that loss. It was purely because we misread the wicket and were slightly overconfident after beating Pakistan in the quarterfinal.
"Why did he wake up suddenly after 15 years? During my four-and-half year stint (with the national team), I used to frequently have dinner with Vinod. Had he told me about his suspicions then, I would have requested the board to probe the matter," he said.
Manjerekar, now a a cricketer-turned-commentator, said the decision to bowl was an honest cricketing decision.
"In the 1996 World Cup semi final – the decision to field first may have turned out to be a wrong decision but it was an honest cricketing decision," Manjrekar tweeted.
Raju, a former selector, said that Kambli was stirring up an unnecessary controversy.
"I don't think the match was fixed. The claims made by Kambli are false. The decision to bowl was a collective decision," he said.
Mongia also concurred with Raju and said such controversies were bad for Indian cricket.
"I agree with what Mr. Wadekar said. There was nothing suspicious about the loss," he said.

Day 11: Notes from the Road | If This, Then What?
So I'm on the train from Xian to Shanghai, and my buddy and I found ourselves sharing a tiny room in a so-called "soft sleeper" – a misnomer, to be sure – with three generations of Chinese women. Mom, her mom, and the youngest. They seem nice enough, but it's still pretty awkward. The ride is roughly 14 hours, and I doubt I'll sleep more now than on the previous stretch. Not to mention the fact that it's scorching hot, with the mercury steadily climbing upwards. All in all, this is the longest haul on the trip, and the one I dread the most. By the end of the last ride, we all had serious cabin fever. This is the sort of environment that always leads to massacres in b-movies. The ladies seem as weirded out as us, so it'll certainly be an interesting 14 hours. See you on the flipside.

The performance art of Republicans slamming Trump
President Trump insisted this week that his meeting with the Republican Senate caucus was a "lovefest," but there was plenty of evidence to the contrary if you asked some members of his party.
Senator John McCain ostensibly took a dig at the commander-in-chief last Sunday, alleging that those "at the highest-income level found a doctor that would say they have a bone spur" to avoid the Vietnam draft. On Tuesday morning, Senator Bob Corker found himself in another Twitter feud with the leader of his party, invoking a memorable "#AlerttheDaycareStaff" hashtag. And later that same afternoon, Senator Jeff Flake announced his intention not to run for reelection in 2018 by way of a fiery speech against the president from the Senate floor.
Beltway pundits reacted predictably: Senators McCain and Corker were said to be "slamming" the White House, and commentators lauded Senator Flake's speech as "historic," "brave," and many other gratuitously celebratory adjectives. And to be fair, these actions are novel because they are rare.
Most Republican elected officials have stood by their man; Speaker of the House Paul Ryan could teach a masterclass in making excuses, projecting good intentions, and providing endless variations of "I'm not going to comment on that tweet." Only the abovementioned senators (with one or two additions) have truly criticized the president in public, with most in the party preferring off-the-record handwringing. Compared to the devoted partisanship and sniveling cowardice of the vast majority of the GOP's elected representatives, any denouncement seems meaningful.
But is there really a functional difference between silent complicity and boisterous evisceration? Senator McCain may be a rare exception, but for Senators Flake and Corker, it's not clear that their anti-Trumpism is anything but performative.
Senator Flake's speech was inspiring, for sure. But what does he really lose by bowing out of his tough reelection race in 2018, other than the risk of being beaten by a Trumpian challenger in the primary or a Democrat in the general? Moreover, how was the senator's speech all that different from his anti-Trump book, Conscience of a Conservative - aside from the fact, of course, that a speech on the Senate floor doesn't rake in profit while sitting atop the New York Times bestseller list?
Likewise, it should matter that Senator Corker, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has warned that the nation is "separated from chaos" by only a few in the cabinet. But again, aside from also opting out of a raucous reelection fight, what does the senator do to constrain or challenge the man whose "stability" and "competence" he has questioned? Nothing - in fact, he's hard at work crafting legislation alongside Senator Tom Cotton that will follow the president's direction to upend the diplomatic agreement preventing an Iranian nuclear weapon.
This disconnect between rhetoric and action is what frustrates Democrats and others on the left: if these 'rebel' Republicans truly believe that President Trump is bad, why not do something to oppose his agenda? We scour their voting records and grouse that they still follow the party line more than 90 percent of the time, as though conservatives who dislike the president's odious behavior will simply stop holding their long-held views to spite him.
Senator McCain seems to be at least a partial exception; he faced personal attacks from candidate Trump, and later followed the lead of his fellow Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins to block an attempt to take healthcare away from millions of Americans. The contrast between these few Republicans who have genuinely bucked President Trump's agenda versus the many who acquiesce to his policies and politics and the few who criticize him to their own benefit poses a question for the left: How can an opposition party incentivize or even reward defections from the majority - and when is it appropriate to do so?
But the problems are even bigger on the right, not least among them the cowardice that underlies performative anti-Trumpism of the Flake-Corker variety. Every Republican who is unwilling to ever seriously oppose President Trump - and who chooses to give up power along the way - is making the party less theirs and more his. They must ask themselves where, exactly, is the nobility in retreat when there are still so many fights to be had.
It's not an enviable position to be in. But American politics is often a zero-sum game - and at the end of the day, if you aren't actually part of the opposition, then you're probably part of the "lovefest."

Message to All Targeted Individuals
Message to all T.I.s --- you are being targeted because you are listed as being "citizens of the United States" --- and so, are fair game as guinea pigs, the equivalent of fish in a barrel with no legal protections, no rights, and no hope of gaining an ear in Congress.
It's Congress that "sold you" as human chattel to serve as test subjects. Don't be ridiculous and expect Congress, which is making money hand-over-fist from this "Test Program", to cancel it just because you are being made ill and miserable.
And don't expect the mindless wonders in charge of the Territorial U.S. Military to give you any breaks. So far as they are concerned, you are all "Enemy Combatants" in a theater of occupation.
Now that you understand your position, change it.
Declare your political status as an American and reclaim your birthright. Join your State Assembly and flex your muscle in your proper standing and capacity. Inform the United Nations Secretary General that you are "non-domestic" with respect to the United States (Inc.) and you are being harmed as a result of their various warfare testing programs.
That should be sufficient to get the ball rolling. Then send a copy of the United States Secretary of State. And to your State Secretary of State.
Take action as an American and as an Employer of these dumb brutes, instead of signing a Petition and pleading with them, oh, please, please, Mr. Bad Man, don't hurt me anymore! I am just a hapless American being mistaken as an Enemy Combatant by my own Armed Forces while at home in my own country, and being used as a "domestic target" when I am not naturally in their jurisdiction at all and not subject to their government and not "domestic" with respect to them at all.
Got the idea of what is actually going on now? Know why the rats smirk at you and pretend not to know what they are doing? Get the hammer on THEM and stop begging for mercy from pirates. Get on your feet and start moving. If you want to live in peace and not as buzzard bait ---- do what I am telling you to do.

The Actual Act of 1871 Being Referenced
Most people that you hear talking about "the" Act of 1871 are talking about the Municipal Corporation Act creating a Municipal Corporation for the District of Columbia.
We have pointed out that the real mischief related to that Act was the Corporations Act of 1870, which claimed the right to create corporations while acting in our names--- which is, to quote a Brit friend of mine, "Really rather like my Gardener assuming my identity and fathering a lot of children in my name, with someone other than my wife."
The end results in both cases are illegitimate. Literally.
But this merely rear-ends the actual singularly traitorous "Act of 1871" which, again, deals with the subject of corporations---- and let's headline this with bold letters so that everyone gets off the Old Saw about the Municipal Corporation Act of 1871 and instead has a full nose of the treason committed by the Rump 41st Congress as of the Second of February of 1871, Chapters 62-65, in which the Congress declared itself to be the "successor" of all United States corporations and the property of all said corporations.
These treasonous individuals claimed to own all United States corporations as successors --- quite possibly the greatest theft and Breach of Trust in world history, carried out by the members of the Territorial Congress while wearing their "second hat" as a foreign Municipal oligarchy.
Let's get this straight -- the members of any "Congress" convened in its Territorial or Municipal capacity never had any authority to make such a claim, not in 1871, not in 1971, and not today. There is absolutely no shred of valid interest involved here, no contract, no equitable consideration, no vested authority, and certainly no consent.
It's a criminal offense and an act of treason and fraud that has waited in the wings for over a hundred years to be discovered and objected to. Our corporations, like our ability to create corporations and our ability to issue patents, does not devolve to "the" Municipal United States, a foreign entity operating in our names simply because they made such an outrageous claim while acting in breach of trust and under conditions of fraud and semantic deceit.
All corporations created under our names and issued charters "in our names" are ours by definition, and we do claim them back from the Municipal Government of Washington, District of Columbia, and from the various Territorial State of State and Municipal STATE OF STATE Governments that have continued the abuses endemic to the Corporations Act of 1870 and the "Ownership Acts" of 1871.
We have been here, present and accounted for, the entire time --- yet left uninformed and uneducated by our employees, have been preyed upon by them and their foreign Principals in Breach of Trust.
We declare that we are the lawful and rightful heirs and beneficiaries of all United States Corporations created by our Federal Republic, their heirs, operators, trustees, and assigns, without exception, and the only lawful saving grace for the Municipal Government now is to release their presumed "custodial interest" in all our assets, intellectual properties, and prerogatives, including the administration of our Corporations, our Patent and Trademark Office, our Copyright Office, and our Postal Offices.
Let it be made perfectly clear to every banker and jurist on this planet -- what occurred as a result of these actions undertaken by the members of the Municipal Congress in 1871 was a gigantic criminal fraud and Breach of Trust amounting to usurpation against the lawful government of this country and treason against our constitutional agreements--- and all accomplished via means of fraud against their Employers.
In the case of the Territorial Congress, possession by pirates does not change ownership, and in the case of the Municipal Congress, fraud vitiates everything --- including their claims to own all United States Corporations.
This is all that anyone ever needs to know as a Summation of the applicable Law in both cases -- in Admiralty and under Roman Civil Law--- both. The members of Congress must relinquish these claims and release our property both private and public to the administration of our lawful American governments-- that is, our unincorporated Federation of States doing business as The United States of America and our States of the Union until such time as we complete the restoration of our Confederation and our Federal Republic.
PS. Please note that we have already addressed this topic once; all such "United States Corporations" have a one-year grace period ending in mid-February of 2022 to re-charter as American corporations and accept their limitations under Public Law.

WILL YOU HOLD AMY'S HAND?
Hold Amy's Hand was formed in January 2015 to raise money for much-loved journalist Amy Watts' life-saving bowel cancer surgery. After a ten day international fundraising marathon, supported by celebs like Simon Cowell, Gary Linekar, Matt Goss, Barbara Windsor and publisher Richard Desmond, we reached our target of 100K.
Sadly Amy passed away on March 5th 2015, too weak for the surgery. In her memory, Hold Amy's Hand continues to fundraise in support of Bowel Cancer UK, as a partner to their Never Too Young campaign. We also raise awareness of bowel cancer in young people.

A new Senate bill aims to change how agencies consider small businesses when awarding federal contracts.
Agencies would be required to start setting aside part of their multiple-award contracts for small companies and reserve portions of multiple-award contracts for subcategories of small business. Agencies would have to hold back for small companies one or more contracts for multiple full-and-open competitions, according to the new Small Business Contracting Revitalization Act, which was introduced today.
The legislation also deals with consolidated or bundled contracts, which are often too large for a small business to compete for. However, those contracts many times could be split into several smaller individual contracts. Under the bill, agencies must post online a list of their bundled contracts and the rationale for why they are bundled.
Furthermore, agencies would have to post their anti-bundling policies online, and the bill would require officials to decide whether those polices actually give small businesses enough of a chance to become prime contractors and subcontractors.
The bill would also close many loopholes that give large companies an unfair advantage, and it would add protections for small firms and subcontractors.
An underlying reason for the bill is aiding small business in today's economy, said Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), chairwoman of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee.
"Government contracts are perhaps one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways the government can help to immediately increase sales for America's entrepreneurs, giving them the tools they need to keep our economy strong and create jobs," said Landrieu, who introduced the bill with Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), the committee's ranking member.
Both Landrieu and Snowe say small-business contracts represent job growth.
"Yet the ability of these companies to earn federal contracts is frequently stunted by the egregious and repeated failure of federal agencies to meet their statutory 23 percent small-business 'goaling' requirements," Snowe said.
Agencies have an annual goal of awarding 23 percent of their contracting dollars to small companies. In 2008 — the latest data available — the government as a whole missed the 23 percent mark, according to the Small Business Administration.
Small businesses are the backbone of our nation's economy. Statistically, small businesses create a vast majority of net new jobs. That said, economists like Laura Tyson and even Robert Reich have agreed that the best way to stimulate America's middle class economy is to infuse it with federal infrastructure dollars. The concept that that a dollar invested with small business will do more for job creation than a dollar invested with a large business is not a new concept, and it is fact.
I would sure like this Congresswomen to explain her statement "By increasing contracts to small businesses by just 1 percent, we can create more than 100,000 new jobs—and today, we need those jobs more than ever." How doesgiving a contract that requires for example 100 man-years of work to a small business rather than giving the same 100 man-years of work to a large business create one extra job?

Q: Need help converting verilog to vhdl please can anyone help me convert the following Verilog to vhdl. Thank you.
//Module to inject errors into Hamming Code
 module InjectError(input [7:0] Din,
input [4:0] Pin,
output [7:0] Dout,
output [4:0] Pout,
input [12:0] Ein);
 assign {Dout, Pout} = {Din, Pin} ^ Ein;
 endmodule

A: The use of array aggregates is standard version compliance dependent in VHDL, and if you intend synthesis is dependent on version support in your synthesis tools.
Also a VHDL entity and architecture pair corresponds to a Verilog module;
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity InjectError is
    port (
        Din:        in  std_logic_vector  (7 downto 0);
        Dout:       out std_logic_vector  (7 downto 0);
        Pin:        in  std_logic_vector  (4 downto 0);
        Pout:       out std_logic_vector  (4 downto 0);
        Ein:        in  std_logic_vector (12 downto 0)
    );
end entity;
architecture foo of InjectError is
begin
-- always works:
    Dout <= Din xor Ein(12 downto 5);
    Pout <= Pin xor Ein(4 downto 0);
end architecture;

In place of the two concurrent signal assignment statements shown in the architecture body using an aggregate signal assignment in IEEE Std 1076-1993 (this always works, too):
( Dout(7),Dout(6),Dout(5),Dout(4),Dout(3),Dout(2),Dout(1),Dout(0),
  Pout(4),Pout(3),Pout(2),Pout(1),Pout(0) ) <=
          ( Din(7),Din(6),Din(5),Din(4),Din(3),Din(2),Din(1),Din(0),
          Pin(4),Pin(3),Pin(2),Pin(1),Pin(0) ) xor Ein;

wherein the the aggregate element size must match the element size on the right hand side, and this also obeys the rules (and works everywhere):
( Dout(7),Dout(6),Dout(5),Dout(4),Dout(3),Dout(2),Dout(1),Dout(0),
  Pout(4),Pout(3),Pout(2),Pout(1),Pout(0) ) <= (Din & Pin) xor Ein;

The target of an assignment basic operation must be named so a concatenation on the left hand side of the signal assignment won't work.
IEEE Std 1076-2008 added paragraph 2 in 9.3.3.3 Array aggregates:

For an element association with a choice that is a discrete range and an expression of the element type of the aggregate, the value of the expression is the element at each index value in the range.

Which allows slices or aggregate elements that have non-matching index ranges (Dout and Pout, Din and Pin):
(Dout, Pout) <= (Din, Pin) xor Ein;

And looks much more Verilog-ish, but again is synthesis tool VHDL version support dependent.
The port type std_logic_vector was selected to take advantage of general mixed language support in simulation and synthesis, where the mapping between std_ulogic and wire is well accepted.

A: LIBRARY IEEE;
USE IEEE.std_logic_1164.ALL;
USE IEEE.numeric_std.ALL;

ENTITY error_injector IS

Draw the basic outline of the grow, the head, neck and shoulders.
Also mark on where the eyes nose, mouth and hair will go.
Start shading in wavy flowing hair, darkening some parts more than others.
Draw the bottom part of the hair, adding in plaits and curly parts.
Also add stripes to the t-short, make the stripes on the arm bend halfway through.
Draw on the eyebrows, nose and lips.
Shade in the eyes, remembering to leave a white chunk out of the pupil for the light.
Add any last changes, like rounding off the chin or any additional shading you want to do..
No offense, but I think that looks more like a cartoon. I'm not trying to hurt any feelings, I am just commenting my thoughts on it!
Sorry about all the spelling mistakes but I don't know how to edit after publishing!!!
