How Bad Are Bananas?
The Carbon Footprint of Everything
Von Mike Berners-Lee
In How Bad are Bananas? (2010), author Mike Berner-Lee provides readers with an A-to-Z guide of how they can start living a more environmentally conscious life and reduce their own carbon footprint. You may think you're familiar with climate change and carbon footprints, but do you really know the everyday activities that contribute to the current environmental crisis? From grocery shopping to washing your clothes, you'll learn how to be more efficient and less wasteful.
Anyone curious about their own carbon footprint
Environmentalists in the fight against global warming
Consumers who want to make more informed purchases
Mike Berners-Lee is a professor at Lancaster University and the founding director of Small World Consulting, a company that specializes in measuring the carbon footprint of services and products worldwide. He is also the author of The Burning Question: We Can't Burn Half the World's Oil, Coal and Gas. So How Do We Quit? (2013) and a frequent contributor to the Guardian.

A carbon footprint takes into consideration many harmful gases, and the average size varies around the world.
These days, you don't have to be an environmental scientist to have heard the term carbon footprint. It gets used a lot in discussions about global warming or climate change and refers to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) that gets released during certain processes, whether by a corporation or just one person.
However, carbon dioxide is but one of many gases that contribute to global warming and a carbon footprint. Such harmful emissions are known as greenhouse gases and some of them are far more damaging than CO₂. Methane (CH₄), for example, is twenty-five times as harmful as CO₂, and nitrous oxide (N₂O) is three hundred times worse. And then there are refrigerant gases, which are used in cooling systems and can be several thousand times more potent than CO₂.
In the United Kingdom, CO₂ accounts for 86 percent of its greenhouse gas output, while methane accounts for 7 percent, nitrous oxide 6 percent and refrigerant gases 1 percent.
Since we know how potent all these other gases are in relation to CO₂, a carbon footprint provides an accurate reading on all the major harmful emissions being released. This conversion method is known as carbon dioxide equivalent, or CO₂e.
The average size of a carbon footprint varies from country to country, but it tends to be bigger in the developed world. In Malawi, for example, the average carbon footprint of a person is around 0.1 metric tons of CO₂e per year. The average person in the United Kingdom, however, measures up at around 15 metric tons per year, while the average North American comes in at around 28, and Australians at 30 metric tons. As for the planet as a whole, in 2007 we produced around 49 billion metric tons of CO₂e.
Being British, the author hopes to help the United Kingdom reduce harmful emissions by a significant yet reasonable amount. Berners-Lee has laid the groundwork for such a reduction through what he calls the 10-tonne lifestyle, which would result in the average person going from 15 to 10 metric tons per year – a one-third reduction of each person's carbon footprint.
In the blinks that follow, we'll take a closer look at the steps you can take to adopt this lifestyle.
Text messages and emails are low impact, but these small things can add up quickly.
In some ways, plastic is better than paper for the environment.
Different ways of traveling have different carbon footprints, with flying being the worst.
Local produce and meat from nonruminant animals have lower carbon footprints.
Your favorite beverages may have bigger carbon footprints than you imagine.
You can clean up in more environmentally conscious ways.
Harmful gases can come from nature, but human-made emissions are much more numerous.
Eating in a more environmentally conscious way can greatly reduce your carbon footprint.

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC said its sales fell nearly 68 percent in June, its biggest slump in more than two years.
HTC's smartphones, once very popular, have lost their edge over the emergence of rivals such as Apple, Samsung Electronics, and more recently Xiaomi.
The Taiwanese company said its June sales fell to T$2.2 billion ($72 million), from T$6.9 billion a year ago and T$2.45 billion in May.
HTC has recently released new flagship phones but obviously the sales have been lower than expected. And the company's middle-end and entry-level models feature neither new specs nor high performance-price ratio.
Last week, HTC said it plans to slash nearly a quarter of its global workforce - or 1,500 jobs - through layoffs at its factory in Taiwan.
HTC has also sold its Pixel team to Google for $1.1 billion. More recently, the company combined its virtual reality and mobile divisions in an effort to refocus and sold its Vive team to Valve.

Kevin Sorbo Talks About The New 'Left Behind: Rise Of The Antichrist' Movie
By Sarah Mae Saliong Dec 07, 2021 10:01 AM EST
(Photo : Twitter)
Kevin Sorbo, the director and star of the new film, "Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist," and his co-star, Greg Perrow, recently shared why they made the movie and what people can expect from the next chapter in this beloved saga.
"I've known about the 'Left Behind' books forever," Sorbo told Faithwire."There was no way that anything else was going to get in the way of me wanting to be a part of this."
Asked as to what prompted him to take on the part and direct the film, Sorbo said that he has known the book for a long time and is acquainted with Dallas Jenkins, the author's son and director of "The Chosen" film series.
People who work on the movie are reportedly filming in Canada right now.
As for being the director, he said that directing the movie is an added bonus, but he's truly grateful for the chance to play Rayford Steele (who was previously portrayed by Nicolas Cage), and at a time when the culture is so uncertain.
"I love movies like this. I love movies that have hope, redemption, laughter, and love, and things that we need more than ever in this world - in this crazy, divisive world we live in," Sorbo added. "And we're hoping a movie like this will be a positive impact on people around the world."
Perrow, on the other hand, was asked what, in his opinion, is the most compelling aspect of the "Left Behind" film. He plays fearless reporter Buck Williams, who, according to Faithwire was first portrayed by Kirk Cameron and then Chad Michael Murray.
He expressed his delight at being able to be a part of a business that served as an inspiration to his own family when he was growing up.
Ultimately, he hopes that the film will inspire viewers to dig further into the Bible, particularly when it comes to end-times prophesies.
"[I hope] it reaches more people than any faith-based movie has ever reached before in this history of mankind," he stated.
In the course of the production, Perrow claimed he found himself begging and pleading with the Lord, saying, "Lord, let this role speak to people."
Sorbo also provided some hints as to what spectators may anticipate from the movie, stating that the film would be "grittier" and that it may speak more profoundly to current themes than previous installments.
"I think it's a grittier feel to it. The world's a whole different place right now. ...," he said. "It feels like the rapture's just down the road right now. The Sodom and Gomorrah we're living in right now and it's unbelievable with the anger and the hatred and all this divisiveness that is out there."
Sorbo pointed out that, despite all of the "hatred and anger," there are still some bright spots to be found in our world.
"There's always a chance to go down a different road you know. I'm a big fan of the road less traveled by," he said.
Because of COVID constraints, including limitations governments placed on churched, "Left Behind" may be a fantastic tool for re-evangelizing individuals, especially those who have never been to church before.
"This is a movie that we could use to harvest," said Sorbo. "We're called the harvest right? And so this is a the perfect tool out there to get people to be involved because it's easy."

Describing the difficulties to anyone who doesn't work inside of an actual "networking" company why the notions of traffic steering, services insertion and chaining across multiple physical boxes and/or combinations of physical and virtual service instantiations is freaking difficult.
Service Chaining: chaining (serialized or parallelized) and insertion of services with other services.
I didn't get into the nuances of these capabilities with things like state, flow to service mapping tables, replication across flow/state tables in "clustered" processing points, etc., but I spoke to some of them in the "Four Horsemen of the Virtualization Security Apocalypse" presentation. See Pwnie #1 – War | Episode 7: Revenge Of the UTM Clones.
Now, with that out of the way and these terms simply defined, I suppose the "networking is simple" people are right.
I mean, all you have to do is agree on a common set of protocols, a consistent tagging format, flow and/or packet metadata, disposition mechanisms, flow redirection mechanisms beyond next hop unicast, tunneling, support for protocols other than unicast, state machine handling across disparate service chains, performance/availability/QoS telemetry across network domains and diameters, disparate control and data planes, session termination versus pass-through deltas, and then incidental stuff like MAC and routing table updates with convergence latencies across distributed entities, etc.
…and support for legacy while we're at it.
It ain't nuthin' but a peanut, right?
Oh, this just must be an issue with underlay (physical) networks, right?
Overlays have this handled, right?
All these new APIs and control planes are secure by default, too, right?
However, allow me to suggest that networking companies have experience, footprint, capabilities and relationships and are quite motivated to add value, increase feature velocity, reduce complexity in deployment and operation, and add more efficiency to their solutions.

Cambridge Greek Testament
Cambridge Greek Testament for Schools and Colleges
1. Ἡ φιλαδελφία. "Your brotherly affection." Not only was "brotherly love" a new and hitherto almost undreamed of virtue but it was peculiarly necessary among the members of a bitterly-persecuted sect. Hence all the Apostles lay constant stress upon it (Romans 12:10; 1 Thessalonians 4:9; 1 Peter 1:22; 1 John 3:14-18, &c.). It was a special form of the more universal "Love" (Ἀγάπη), and our Lord had said that by it the world should recognise that Christians were His disciples (John 13:35). How entirely this prophecy was fulfilled we see alike from the fervid descriptions of Tertullian, from the mocking admissions of Lucian in his curious and interesting tract "on the death of Peregrinus" (§ 16), and from the remark of the Emperor Julian (Ep. 49), that their "kindness towards strangers" had been a chief means of propagating their "atheism." But brotherly-love in the limits of a narrow community is often imperilled by the self-satisfaction of egotistic and dogmatic orthodoxy, shewing itself in party rivalries. This may have been the case among these Hebrews as among the Corinthians; and the neglect by some of the gatherings for Christian worship (Hebrews 10:25) may have tended to deepen the sense of disunion. The disunion however was only incipient, for the writer has already borne testimony to the kindness which prevailed among them (Hebrews 6:10, Hebrews 10:32-33).
Verses 1-9
1–9. CONCLUDING EXHORTATIONS TO LOVE [1]; HOSPITALITY [2]; KINDNESS TO PRISONERS AND THE SUFFERING [3]; PURITY OF LIFE [4]; CONTENTMENT [5]; TRUSTFULNESS [6]; SUBMISSION TO PASTORAL AUTHORITY (7, 8); STEADFASTNESS AND SPIRITUALITY [9]
We may notice that the style of the writer in this chapter offers more analogies to that of St Paul than in the rest of the Epistle (comp. Romans 12:1-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 15:33 with 1–6, 9, 20); the reason being that these exhortations are mostly of a general character, and probably formed a characteristic feature in all the Christian correspondence of this epoch. They are almost of the nature of theological loci communes.
CH. 13. Concluding Exhortations to Love [1]; Hospitality [2]; Kindness to Prisoners and the Suffering [3]; Purity of Life [4]; Contentment [5]; Trustfulness [6]; Submission to Pastoral Authority (7, 8); Steadfastness and Spirituality [9]; The Altar, the Sacrifice, and the Sacrifices of the Christian (10–16); The Duty of Obedience to Spiritual Authority [17]. Concluding Notices and Benedictions (18–25)
2. φιλοξενίας. The hospitality of Christians (what Julian calls ἡ περὶ ξένους φιλανθρωπία) was naturally exercised chiefly towards the brethren. The absence of places of public entertainment except in the larger towns, and the constant interchange of letters and messages between Christian communities—a happy practice which also prevailed among the Jewish Synagogues—made "hospitality" a very necessary and blessed practice. St Peter tells Christians to be hospitable to one another ungrudgingly, and unmurmuringly, though it must sometimes have been burdensome (1 Peter 4:9; comp. Romans 12:13; Titus 1:8; 1 Timothy 3:2). We find similar exhortations in the Talmud (Berachoth, f. 63. 2; Shabbath, f. 27.1). The "Teaching of the Twelve Apostles" shews that hospitality to wandering teachers was an ordinary duty.
ἀγγέλους. Abraham (Genesis 18:2-22. Lot (Genesis 19:1-2). Manoah (Judges 13:2-14). Gideon (Judges 6:11-20). Our Lord taught that we may even entertain Him—the King of Angels—unawares. "I was a stranger, and ye took Me in" (Matthew 25:35-40). There is an allusion to this "entertaining of angels" in Philo, De Abrahamo (Opp. II. 17). The classic verb rendered "unawares" (ἔλαθον) is not found elsewhere in the N. T. in this sense, and forms a happy paronomasia with "forget not." The verb is used adverbially, "unconsciously."
3. τῶν δεσμίων. Comp. Colossians 4:18.
ὡς συνδεδεμένοι. Lit., "as having been bound with them." In the perfectness of sympathy their bonds are your bonds (1 Corinthians 12:26), for you and they alike are Christ's slaves (1 Corinthians 7:22) and Christ's captives (2 Corinthians 2:14 in the Greek). This seems to be the meaning rather than that the Hebrew Christians too have had their own personal experience of imprisonment for the faith. Lucian's tract (referred to in the previous note) dwells on the effusive kindness of Christians to their brethren who were imprisoned as confessors.
ἐν σώματι. And therefore as being yourselves liable to similar maltreatment. "In the body" does not mean "in the body of the Church," but "human beings, born to suffer." You must therefore "weep with them that weep" (Romans 12:15). The expressions of the verse (κακουχουμένων, ὡς καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐν σώματι) read like a reminiscence of Philo (De Spec. Legg. § 30) who says ὡς ἐν τοῖς ἑτέρων σώμασιν αὐτοὶ κακούμενοι, "as being yourselves also afflicted in the bodies of others"; but if so the reminiscence is only verbal, and the application more simple. Incidentally the verse shews how much the Christians of that day were called upon to endure.
4. τίμιος ὁ γάμος κ.τ.λ. Probably this is an exhortation, "Let marriage be held honourable among all," or rather "in all respects." Scripture never gives even the most incidental sanction to the exaltation of celibacy as a superior virtue, or to the disparagement of marriage as an inferior state. Celibacy and marriage stand on an exactly equal level of honour according as God has called us to the one or the other state. The mediaeval glorification of Monachism sprang partly from a religion of exaggerated gloom and terror, and partly from a complete misunderstanding of the sense applied by Jewish writers to the word "Virgins." Nothing can be clearer than the teaching on this subject alike of the Old (Genesis 2:18; Genesis 2:24) and of the New Covenant (Matthew 19:4-6; John 2:1-2; 1 Corinthians 7:2). There is no "forbidding to marry" (1 Timothy 4:1-3) among Evangelists and Apostles. They shared the deep conviction which their nation had founded on Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18-24 and which our Lord had sanctioned (Matthew 19:4-6). The warning in this verse is against unchastity. If it be aimed against a tendency to disparage the married state it would shew that the writer is addressing some Hebrews who had adopted in this matter the prejudices of the Essenes (1 Timothy 4:3). In any case the truth remains "Honourable is marriage in all"; it is only lawless passions which are "passions of dishonour" (Romans 1:26).
ἐν πᾶσιν. This may mean "in all things" as in Hebrews 13:18; or "among all," which would however be normally expressed by παρὰ πᾶσιν. In the A.V. ἐστὶν is supplied, in the R.V. ἔστω.
ἀμίαντος. "And let the bed be undefiled" by adultery. A warning to Antinomians (such for instance as the Nicolaitans, Revelation 2:6; Revelation 2:15) who made light of unchastity (Acts 15:20; 1 Thessalonians 4:6).
πόρνους. Christianity introduced a wholly new conception regarding the sin of fornication (Galatians 5:19; Galatians 5:21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5-6; Revelation 22:15) which, especially in the depraved decadence of Heathenism under the Empire, was hardly regarded as any sin at all. Hence the necessity for constantly raising a warning voice against it (1 Thessalonians 4:6, &c.).
κρινεῖ. The more because they often escape altogether the judgement of man (1 Samuel 2:25; 2 Samuel 3:39).
5. ὁ τρόπος. Lit., "Let your turn of mind be unavaricious." In the A.V. it is "Let your conversation be without covetousness"; but the word here used is not the one generally rendered by "conversation" in the N.T. (ἀναστροφὴ as in Hebrews 13:7, "general walk," Galatians 1:13; Ephesians 2:3), or "citizenship" (πολίτευμα, as in Philippians 1:27; Philippians 3:20), but "turn of mind" (τρόπος).
ἀφιλάργυρος. Not merely without covetousness (πλεονεξία) but "without love of money." It is remarkable that "covetousness" and "uncleanness" are constantly placed in juxtaposition in the N.T. (1 Corinthians 5:10; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Ephesians 5:3; Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5).
ἀρκούμενος. The form of the sentence "Let your turn of mind be without love of money, being content" is the same as ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος, ἀποστυγοῦντες in Romans 12:9. The few marked similarities between this writer and St Paul only force the radical dissimilarity between their styles into greater prominence; and as the writer had almost certainly read the Epistle to the Romans a striking syntactical peculiarity like this may well have lingered in his memory.
αὐτὸς γὰρ εἴρηκεν. "Himself hath said." The "Himself" of course refers to God, and the phrase of citation is common in the Rabbis (הוא אמר). "He" and "I" are, as Delitzsch says, used by the Rabbis as mystical names of God.
Οὐ μή σε ἀνῶ κ.τ.λ. These words are found (in the third person) in Deuteronomy 31:6; Deuteronomy 31:8; 1 Chronicles 28:20, and similar promises, in the first person, in Genesis 28:15; Joshua 1:5; Isaiah 41:17. The very emphatic form of the citation (first with a double then with a triple negation), "I will in no wise fail, neither will I ever in any wise forsake thee," does not occur either in the Hebrew or the LXX., but it is found in the very same words in Philo (De Confus. Ling. § 32), and since we have had occasion to notice again and again the thorough familiarity of the writer with Philo's works, it is probable that he derived it from Philo, unless it existed in some proverbial or liturgical form among the Jews. The triple negative οὐδ' οὐ μὴ is found in Matthew 24:21.
6. θαρροῦντας. "We boldly say," not as in A.V. "we may boldly say."
Κύριος. Psalms 118:6.
οὐ φοβηθήσομαι. "I will not fear. What shall man do unto me?" The rendering of the A.V. "I will not fear what man shall do unto me" is ungrammatical, as is that of the Vulg., "Non timebo quid faciat mihi homo."
7. τῶν ἡγουμένων … οἵτινες. "Your leaders, who spoke to you"; for, as the next clause shews, these spiritual leaders were dead. At this time the ecclesiastical organisation was still unfixed. The vague term "leaders" (found also in Acts 15:22), like the phrase "those set over you" (προϊστάμενοι, 1 Thessalonians 5:12) means "bishops" and "presbyters," the two terms being, in the Apostolic age, practically identical. In later ecclesiastical Greek this word (ἡγούμενοι) was used for "abbots."
ὧν ἀναθεωροῦντες κ.τ.λ. In the emphatic order of the original, "and earnestly contemplating the issue of their conversation, imitate their faith."
τὴν ἔκβασιν. Not the ordinary word for "end" (τέλος) but the very unusual word ἔκβασιν, "outcome." This word in the N.T. is found only in 1 Corinthians 10:13, where it is rendered "escape." In Wisdom of Solomon 2:17 we find, "Let us see if his words be true, and let us see what shall happen at his end" (ἐν ἐκβάσει). It here seems to mean death, but not necessarily a death by martyrdom. It merely means "imitate them, by being faithful unto death." The words ἔξοδος "departure" (Luke 9:31; 2 Peter 1:15) and ἄφιξις (Acts 20:29) are similar euphemisms for death.
8. Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς … ὁ αὐτός. "Jesus Christ is the same" (comp. Hebrews 1:12). The A. V. by its omission of the copula seems to connect this with τὴν ἔκβασιν as if Jesus Christ were the "end of their conversation," which it is scarcely necessary to say is impossible. The collocation "Jesus Christ" is in this Epistle only found elsewhere in Hebrews 13:21 and Hebrews 10:10. He commonly says "Jesus" in the true reading (Hebrews 2:9, Hebrews 3:1, Hebrews 6:20, &c.) or "Christ" (Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 3:14, Hebrews 5:5, &c.). He also has "the Lord" (Hebrews 2:3), "our Lord" (Hebrews 7:14), and "our Lord Jesus" (Hebrews 13:20). "Christ Jesus," which is so common in St Paul, only occurs as a very dubious various reading in Hebrews 3:1.
ἐχθὲς κ.τ.λ. See Hebrews 7:24. The order of the Greek is "yesterday and to-day the same, and to the ages." See Hebrews 1:12; Malachi 3:6; James 1:17. The unchangeableness of Christ is a reason for not being swept about by winds of strange teaching.
9. διδαχαῖς κ.τ.λ. Lit., "With teachings various and strange be ye not swept away." From the allusion to various kinds of food which immediately follows we infer that these "teachings" were not like the incipient Gnostic speculations against which St Paul and St John had to raise a warning voice (Ephesians 4:14; Colossians 2:8; 1 John 4:1), but the minutiae of the Jewish Halachah with its endless refinements upon, and inferences from, the letter of the Law; possibly doctrines akin to those of the Essenes. This is the sort of teaching of which the Talmud is full, and most of it has no real connexion with true Mosaism.
καλόν. "A beautiful or excellent thing."
χάριτι. By the favour or mercy of God as a pledge of our real security.
οὐ βρώμασιν. Not by minute and pedantic distinctions between various kinds of clean and unclean food (Hebrews 9:10). The word βρώματα, "kinds of food," was never applied to sacrifices. On the urgency of the question of "meats" to the early Christians see my Life of St Paul, I. 264.
οὐκ ὠφελήθησαν. These outward rules were of no real advantage to the Jews under the Law. As Christianity extended, the Rabbis gave a more and more hostile elaboration and significance to the Halachoth, which decided about the degrees of uncleanness in different kinds of food, as though salvation itself depended on the scrupulosities and micrologies of Rabbinism. The reader will find some illustrations of these remarks in my Life of St Paul, I. 264. The importance of these or analogous questions to the early Jewish Christians may be estimated by the allusions of St Paul (Romans 14; Colossians 2:16-23; 1 Timothy 4:3, &c.). No doubt these warnings were necessary because the Jewish Christians were liable to the taunt, "You are breaking the law of Moses; you are living Gentile-fashion (ἐθνικῶς) not Jewish-wise (Ἰουδαϊκῶς); you neglect the Kashar (rules which regulate the slaughter of clean and unclean animals, which the Jews scrupulously observe to this day); you feed with those who are polluted by habitually eating swine's flesh." These were appeals to "the eternal Pharisaism of the human heart," and the intensity of Jewish feeling respecting them would have been renewed by the conversions to Christianity. The writer therefore reminds the Hebrews that these distinctions involve no real advantage (Hebrews 7:18-19).
10. ἕχομεν θυσιαστήριον. These seven verses form a little episode of argument in the midst of moral exhortations. They revert once more to the main subject of the Epistle—the contrast between the two dispensations. The connecting link in the thought of the writer is to be found in the Jewish boasts to which he has just referred in the word "meats." Besides trying to alarm the Christians by denunciations founded on their indifference to the Levitical Law and the oral traditions based upon it, the Jews would doubtless taunt them with their inability henceforth to share in eating the sacrifices (1 Corinthians 9:13), since they were all under the Cherem—the ban of Jewish excommunication. The writer meets the taunt by pointing out (in an allusive manner) that of the most solemn sacrifices in the whole Jewish year—and of those offered on the Day of Atonement—not even the priests, not even the High-priest himself, could partake (Leviticus 6:12; Leviticus 6:23; Leviticus 6:30; Leviticus 16:27). But of our Sacrifice, which is Christ, and from (ἐξ) our Altar, which is the Cross—on which, as on an altar, our Lord was offered—we may eat. The "Altar" is here understood of the Cross, not only by Bleek and De Wette, but even by St Thomas Aquinas and Estius; but the mere figure implied by the "altar" is so subordinate to that of our participation in spiritual privileges that if it be regarded as an objection that the Cross was looked on by Jews as "the accursed tree," we may adopt the alternative view suggested by Thomas Aquinas—that the Altar means Christ Himself. To eat from it will then be "to partake of the fruit of Christ's Passion." So too Cyril says, "He is Himself the Altar." We therefore have loftier privileges than they who "serve the tabernacle." The other incidental expressions will be illustrated as we proceed; but, meanwhile, we may observe that the word "Altar" is altogether secondary and (so to speak) "out of the Figure." There is no reference whatever to the material "table of the Lord," and only a very indirect reference (if any) to the Lord's Supper. Nothing can prove more strikingly and conclusively the writer's total freedom from any conceptions resembling those of the "sacrifice of the mass" than the fact that here he speaks of our sacrifices as being "the bullocks of our lips." The Christian priest is only a presbyter, not a sacrificing priest. He is only a sacrificing priest in exactly the same sense as every Christian is metaphorically so called, because alike presbyter and people offer "spiritual sacrifices," which are alone acceptable to God through Jesus Christ (1 Peter 2:5). The main point is "we too have one great sacrifice," and we (unlike the Jews, as regards their chief sacrifice, Leviticus 4:12; Leviticus 6:30; Leviticus 16:27) may perpetually partake of it, and live by it (John 6:51-56). We live not on anything material, which profiteth nothing, but on the words of Christ, which are spirit and truth; and we feed on Him—a symbol of the close communion whereby we are one with Him—only in a heavenly and spiritual manner.
ἐξ οὖ. Lit., "from which." It is one of the numerous forms of constr. praegnans, implying "to take from the altar and eat."
οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν. Because they utterly reject Him whose flesh is meat indeed and whose blood is drink indeed (John 6:54-55). Forbidden to eat of the type (see Hebrews 13:11) they could not of course, in any sense, partake of the antitype which they rejected.
τῇ σκηνῇ λατρεύοντες. See Hebrews 8:5. It is remarkable that not even here, though the participle is in the present tense, does he use the word "Temple" or "Shrine" any more than he does throughout the whole Epistle. There may, as Bengel says, be a slight irony in the phrase "who serve the Tabernacle," rather than "in the Tabernacle."
Verses 10-16
10–16. THE ONE SACRIFICE OF THE CHRISTIAN, AND THE SACRIFICES WHICH HE MUST OFFER
11. ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς. Of the sin-offerings the Priests could not, as in the case of other offerings, eat the entire flesh, or the breast and shoulder, or all except the fat (Numbers 6:20; Leviticus 6:26, &c.). The word for "burn" (saraph) means "entirely to get rid of," and is not the word used for burning upon the altar. The rule that these sin-offerings should be burned, not eaten, was stringent (Leviticus 6:30; Leviticus 16:27).
12. διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος. Lit., "through," or "by means of His own blood." The thought is the same as that of Titus 2:14, "Who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people." This sanctification or purifying consecration of His people by the blood of His own voluntary sacrifice corresponds to the sprinkling of the atoning blood on the propitiatory by the High-priest. For "the people," see Hebrews 2:17.
ἔξω τῆς πύλης. Hebrews 9:26; Matthew 27:32; John 19:17-18.
13. ἐξερχώμεθα. Let us go forth out of the city and camp of Judaism (Revelation 11:8) to the true and eternal Tabernacle (Exodus 33:7-8) where He now is (Hebrews 12:2). Some have imagined that the writer conveys a hint to the Christians in Jerusalem that it is time for them to leave the guilty city and retire to Pella; but, as we have seen, it is by no means probable that the letter was addressed to Jerusalem.
τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ. The reproach which Christ bore and still bears. "If ye be reproached," says St Peter, "for the name of Christ, happy are ye" (comp. Hebrews 11:26). As He was excommunicated and insulted and made to bear His Cross of shame, so will you be, and you must follow Him out of the doomed city (Matthew 24:2). It must be remembered that the Cross, an object of execration and disgust even to Gentiles, was viewed by the Jews with religious horror, since they regarded every crucified person as "accursed of God" (Deuteronomy 21:22-23; Galatians 3:13; see my Life of St Paul, II. 17, 148). Christians shared this reproach to the fullest extent. The most polished heathen writers, men like Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, spoke of their faith as an "execrable," "deadly," and "malefic" superstition; Lucian alluded to Christ as "the impaled sophist"; and to many Greeks and Romans no language of scorn seemed too intense, no calumny too infamous, to describe them and their mode of worship. The Jews spoke of them as "Nazarenes," "Epicureans," "heretics," "followers of the hung," and especially "apostates," "traitors," and "renegades." The notion that there is any allusion to the ceremonial uncleanness of those who burnt the bodies of the offerings of the Day of Atonement "outside the camp" is far-fetched.
14. τὴν μέλλουσαν. "The city which is to be" (Hebrews 11:10; Hebrews 11:16). Our earthly city here may be destroyed, and we may be driven from it, or leave it of our own accord; this is nothing,—for our real citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20).
15. θυσίαν αἰνέσεως. A thanksgiving (Jeremiah 17:26; Leviticus 7:12), not in the form of an offering, but something which shall "please the Lord better than a bullock which hath horns and hoofs" (Psalms 69:31).
διαπαντός. Even the Rabbis held that the sacrifice of praise would outlast animal sacrifices and would never cease.
καρπὸν χειλέων ὁμολογούντων τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ. "The fruit of lips which confess to His name." The phrase "the fruit of the lips" is borrowed by the LXX. from Isaiah 57:19. In Hosea 14:2 we have "so will we render the calves of our lips," literally, "our lips as bullocks," i.e. "as thank-offerings." Dr Kay notices that (besides the perhaps accidental resemblance between פרי perî, "fruit," and פרים parîm, "calves") κάρπωμα and similar words were used of burnt-offerings.
ὁμολογούντων τῷ. Like the Hebrew הוֹרָה לְ.
16. κοινωνίας. To share your goods with others (Romans 15:26). It is rendered "distribution" in 2 Corinthians 9:13.
τοιαύταις γὰρ θυσίαις. The verse is meant to remind them that sacrifices of well-doing and the free sharing of their goods are even more necessary than verbal gratitude unaccompanied by sincerity of action (Isaiah 29:13; Ezekiel 33:31).
17. τοῖς ἡγουμένοις. See Hebrews 13:7. The repetition of the injunction perhaps indicates a tendency to self-assertion and spurious independence among them. "Bishops" in the modern sense did not as yet exist, but in the importance here attached to due subordination to ecclesiastical authority we see the gradual growth of episcopal powers. See 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13; 1 Timothy 5:17.
ἀγρυπνοῦσιν. Lit., "are sleepless."
λόγον. See Acts 20:26; Acts 20:28.
μετὰ χαρᾶς. See 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20.
στενάζοντες. Lit., "groaning."
ἀλυσιτελές. A litotes—i.e. a mild expression purposely used that the reader may correct it by a stronger one—for "disadvantageous."
18. Προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν. A frequent and natural request in Christian correspondence (1 Thessalonians 5:25; 2 Thessalonians 3:1; Romans 15:30; Ephesians 6:18; Colossians 4:3). The "us" probably means "me and those with me," shewing that the name of the writer was well known to those addressed.
πειθόμεθα. "We are persuaded."
καλὴν συνείδησιν. The writer, being one of the Paulinists, whose freedom was so bitterly misinterpreted, finds it as necessary as St Paul had done, to add this profession of conscientious sincerity (Acts 23:1; Acts 24:16; 1 Corinthians 4:4; 2 Corinthians 1:12). These resemblances to St Paul's method of concluding his letters are only of a general character, and we have reason to suppose that to a certain extent the beginnings and endings of Christian letters had assumed a recognised form.
ἐν πᾶσιν. "Among all men."
θέλοντες. I.e. "desiring," "determining."
18–25. CONCLUDING NOTICES AND BENEDICTIONS
19. ἵνα τάχιον ἀποκατασταθῶ ὑμῖν. So St Paul in Philemon 1:22. We are unable to conjecture the circumstances which for the present prevented the writer from visiting them. It is clear from the word "restored" that he must once have lived among them.
20. θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης. The phrase is frequent in St Paul (1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 3:16; Romans 15:33; Romans 16:20; Philippians 4:9).
ὁ ἀναγαγών. Among many allusions to the Ascension and Glorification of Christ this is the only direct allusion in the Epistle to His Resurrection (but comp. Hebrews 6:2, Hebrews 11:35). The verb ἀνήγαγεν may be "raised again" rather than "brought up," though there may be a reminiscence of "the shepherd" (Moses) who "brought up" his people from the sea in Isaiah 63:11.
ἐν αἵματι κ.τ.λ. "By virtue of (lit. "in") the blood of an eternal covenant." The expression finds its full explanation in Hebrews 9:15-18. Others connect it with "the Great Shepherd." He became the Great Shepherd by means of His blood. So in Acts 20:28 we have "to shepherd the Church of God, which He purchased for Himself by means of His own blood." A similar phrase occurs in Zechariah 9:11, "By (or "because of") the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit."
21. καταρτίσαι. Τελειόω, the verb so often used to express "perfecting," is here replaced by another verb—"may He fit" or "stablish" or "equip you."
ποιῆσαι … ποιῶν. There is a play on the words "to do His will, doing in you." There is a similar play on words in Philippians 2:13.
ᾦ ἡ δόξα κ.τ.λ. Lit., "to whom be the glory (which is His of right) unto the ages of the ages." The same formula occurs in Galatians 1:5; 2 Timothy 4:18. The doxology may be addressed to Christ as in 2 Peter 3:18.
22. ἀνέχεσθε. "Bear with the word of my exhortation." Comp. Acts 13:15. This is a courteous apology for the tone of severity and authority which he has assumed.
καὶ γάρ. "For indeed," as in Hebrews 12:29.
διὰ βραχέων. "In paucis." "Briefly," considering the breadth and dignity of the subject, which has left him no room for lengthened apologies, and for anything but a direct and compressed appeal. Or the force of the words may be "bear with my exhortation, for I have not troubled you at any great length" (comp. δι' ὀλίγων, 1 Peter 5:12). Could more meaning have been compressed into a letter which could be read aloud in less than an hour, but which was to have a very deep influence on many centuries?
ἐπέστειλα. This is the epistolary aorist, and is therefore equivalent to our perfect "I have written you a letter." This is the only place in the N. T. (except Acts 15:20; Acts 21:25) where ἐπιστέλλω has this sense. Usually it means "I enjoin."
23. γινώσκετε. Either "ye are aware"; or "know ye," i.e. let me inform you.
ἀπολελυμένον. The word probably means (as in Acts 3:13; Acts 4:21) "has been set free from prison." It is intrinsically likely that Timothy at once obeyed the earnest and repeated entreaty of St Paul, shortly before his martyrdom, to come to him at Rome (2 Timothy 4:9; 2 Timothy 4:21), and that, arriving before the Neronian persecution had spent its last force, he had been thrown into prison. His comparative youth, and the unoffending gentleness of his character, together with the absence of any definite charge against him, may have led to his liberation. All this however is nothing more than reasonable conjecture. The word ἀπολελυμένον may mean no more than official, or even ordinary, "sending forth" on some mission or otherwise, as in Acts 13:3; Acts 15:30; Acts 19:41; Acts 23:22.
τάχιον. Lit., "if he come sooner," i.e. earlier than I now expect (comp. κάλλιον, Acts 25:10; βέλτιον, 2 Timothy 1:18). This again is an allusion to circumstances unknown to us. Böhme said "non est comparativa stricte intellegenda," but it always refers to some special fact. Comp. John 13:27.
24. ἀσπάσασθε. This salutation to all their spiritual leaders implies the condition of Churches, which was normal at that period—namely, little communities, sometimes composed separately of Jews and Gentiles, who in default of one large central building, met for worship in each other's houses.
οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας. This merely means "the Italians in the place from which I write," just as "they of Asia" means Asiatic Jews (Acts 21:27. Comp. Acts 17:13, Hebrews 6:9, &c.). The phrase therefore gives no clue whatever to the place from which, or the persons to whom, the Epistle was written. It merely shews that some Christians from Italy—perhaps Christians who had fled from Italy during the Neronian persecution—formed a part of the writer's community; but it suggests a not unnatural inference that it was written to some Italian community from some other town out of Italy. Had he been writing from Italy he would perhaps have been more likely to write "those in Italy" (comp. 1 Peter 5:13), and some have explained the phrase as a constr. praegnans for οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰταλίᾳ ἀσπ. ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰταλίας. But this is quite needless, and as Winer says (p. 784) "a critical argument as to the place where the Epistle was written should never have been founded on these words."
25. Ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν. This is one of the shorter forms of final conclusion found in Colossians 4:18; 1 Timothy 6:21; 2 Timothy 4:22; Titus 3:15.
The superscription "Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy" is wholly without authority, though found in K and some versions. It contradicts the obvious inference suggested by Hebrews 13:23-24. We have no clue to the bearer of the Epistle, or the local community for which it was primarily intended, or the effect which it produced. But it would scarcely be possible to suppose that such a composition did not have a powerful influence in checking all tendency to retrograde into Judaism from the deeper and far more inestimable blessings of the New Covenant. The Manuscripts א and C have only "To the Hebrews." A has "It was written to the Hebrews from Rome."

The story of the Vietnamese Boat People in Hamilton is one that began in the late 1970s during the 'Boat People Crisis'. This led to the mass exodus and acceptance of thousands of refugees into Canada. The story of the refugees in Hamilton is about their journey from a home and their journey to a find home. There is a lack of knowledge in the current literature that explores the experience of refugees that emphasizes the nature of embeddedness, belonging, and identity through time in place. Previous studies on the refugee experience have primarily focused on the initial effect of displacement, relocation, and/or settlement. The purpose of this study is to contextualize the history and experience of the local Vietnamese refugees in Hamilton in order to understand their sense of belonging in Canada. Moreover, the objective of this research is to employ 'sense of place' as a theoretical lens in order to understand the meaning of home and self through time from the experience and perspectives of a refugee. Placing the study in Hamilton is critical because Hamilton has been identified as a significant city for 'secondary' settlement of refugees and immigrants alike. The approach taken for this study employed both case study and the philosophical hermeneutic sub-approach in order to frame the research question and apply a method of analyzing and interpreting data. The research findings allude to the significance and imperativeness of using multiple perspectives in order to understand a multi-faceted lived experience in comprehending the meanings of home and identity for the Vietnamese Boat People in Hamilton.

Hi I ended up with 2 eye of the rounds today. Was wondering if anyone had any recomendations on cooking them on the egg.
i agree with max on the pit beef..
As previously stated, slice VERY thin. Horseradish cheddar cheese is great on sammies.
Agreed, it needs to be sliced very thin. When sliced thin, the flavor is great.
I love JH pecan rub but I prefer a more "pepper" vs sweet on the eye of round.
Looks like I need to make one.
Yes, as I said I love JH pecan, just not on this hunk of muscle.
I'll sometimes pull at 100 internal and toss in the freezer for an hour then thru the slicer and finish in CI pan with onions and mushrooms or peppers for great Philly cheese steaks.

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES TAKES POSSESSION OF MUNICIPAL CREDIT UNION AND NAMES NCUA AS CONSERVATOR
Acting Financial Services Superintendent Linda A. Lacewell today announced the Department of Financial Services (DFS) has taken possession of Municipal Credit Union (MCU) because of unsafe and unsound conditions and has appointed the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as conservator.
Member accounts at MCU are protected by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, which is administered by the NCUA. The Share Insurance Fund insures individual accounts up to $250,000; a member's interest in all joint accounts combined is insured up to $250,000. The NCUA Share Insurance Fund also separately protects IRA and KEOGH retirement accounts up to $250,000. The Fund has the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States.
"DFS is taking possession of MCU and appointing the NCUA as conservator in order to continue the close joint DFS/NCUA monitoring of the credit union's condition, operations, and controls, to ensure that member funds are protected and that member services continue without interruption," Acting Superintendent Lacewell said.
In 2017 DFS had uncovered deficiencies in board oversight that had facilitated the multi-million-dollar embezzlement by the former CEO, Kam Wong. Wong was charged by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney with embezzlement and banned from the credit union industry by the NCUA in May 2018. He pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $10 million from MCU in November 2018.
The Department removed MCU's Supervisory Committee in May 2018, and its board of directors in June 2018 due to severe deficiencies in their oversight of the over-all management of the affairs of the credit union and designated an on-premises Administrator to oversee the general management of the credit union. Based on ongoing supervision by DFS and NCUA, DFS made the decision today to appoint NCUA as conservator and terminate the Administrator's engagement.
While continuing normal member services, NCUA will work to resolve issues affecting the credit union's operations. Members can continue to conduct normal financial transactions, deposit, access funds, make loan payments, and use shares. MCU is a New York State-chartered credit union.

Q: Oracle - How to obtain information on index fields etc How can I list indexes columns readily defined in Oracle?
And how do I use those indexes in a select statement? Something like:
SELECT x, y, z FROM a WITH INDEX(x)...

A: This query also shows the column expression for function based indexes, if any:
SELECT
 i.table_owner,
 i.table_name,
 i.index_name,
 i.uniqueness,
 c.column_name,
 f.column_expression
FROM      all_indexes i
LEFT JOIN all_ind_columns c
 ON   i.index_name      = c.index_name
 AND  i.owner           = c.index_owner
LEFT JOIN all_ind_expressions f
 ON   c.index_owner     = f.index_owner
 AND  c.index_name      = f.index_name
 AND  c.table_owner     = f.table_owner
 AND  c.table_name      = f.table_name
 AND  c.column_position = f.column_position
WHERE i.table_owner LIKE UPPER('%someuserpattern%')
 AND  i.table_name  LIKE UPPER('%sometablepattern%')
ORDER BY i.table_owner, i.table_name, i.index_name, c.column_position

A:
How can I list indexes columns readily defined in Oracle

SELECT *
FROM all_ind_columns
WHERE table_name = 'YOUR_TABLE'

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_1064.htm#i1577532

How do I use those indexes in a select statement

You don't have to do anything. If the index will speed up the query, Oracle will use it automatically.

A: If you want to force the use of a particular index you would add a hint to your query:
select /*+ index(tble_name indx_name) */
col1, col2
from tble_name

That will force the use of the index called indx_name.

A: SELECT table_name AS TABELA,
  index_name      AS INDICE,
  column_position AS POSICAO,
  column_name     AS COLUNA
FROM dba_ind_columns
WHERE (TABLE_OWNER LIKE upper('%&proprietario.%'))
AND (table_name LIKE upper('%&tabela.%'))
ORDER BY TABELA,
  INDICE,
  POSICAO,
  COLUNA;

A: As a HorseWithNoName, wrote, you can use all_ind_columns.
Anyway, I would recommend to use Oracle SQL developer : it is a free tool. You can get all index information's in a GUI.
You can zoom on a particular index whith :
SELECT * FROM all_ind_columns
WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_NAME'
and index_name = 'INDEX_NAME'
order by Column_position

I do disagree with "You don't have to do anything.."
Too often, i see requests written as :
WHERE Trim(LastName) ='SMITH'
WHERE LastName like '%SMITH%'
WHERE trunc(CreationDate) = date'2016-09-23'

Even if columns LastName and CreationDate are indexed, Oracle will NOT be able to use them.
Do write
WHERE LastName like 'SMITH%'
WHERE CreationDate between date'2016-09-23' and date'2016-09-24'

A: this was helpful for me to show all indexes, replace  with your details:
SELECT * FROM all_ind_columns
WHERE TABLE_NAME IN
(SELECT DISTINCT TABLE_NAME from all_indexes where owner = '<INDEX_OWNER>')
order by TABLE_NAME;

A: Script which displays table, index and comma separated list of index columns
set pagesize 50000
set linesize 32000
col table_name format a30
col index_name format a30
col primary_key_name format a30
col uniqueness format a10
col columns format a200

select ui.table_name,
       ui.index_name,
       uc.constraint_name as primary_key_name,
       ui.uniqueness,
       listagg(aic.column_name, ', ') within group (order by aic.column_position) as columns
from user_indexes ui
inner join all_ind_columns aic on aic.index_name = ui.index_name
left outer join user_constraints uc on uc.index_name = ui.index_name and uc.constraint_type = 'P'
group by ui.table_name, ui.index_name, ui.uniqueness, uc.constraint_name
order by table_name;

TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME                     PRIMARY_KEY_NAME               UNIQUENESS COLUMNS

10 reels
Before David Garrick, the famous eighteenth century English actor, is to make a guest appearance at the Comédie Française , the French actors hear rumours that he has said he will teach them the art of realistic acting. Determined to teach him a lesson, they take over a roadside inn. When Garrick arrives at the Adam & Eve Inn, however, he instantly recognizes the staff and guests of the inn as actors by their conventional gestures, and decides to play along to see what will happen. During dinner, an attractive young woman arrives at the inn and when the innkeeper tries to send her away because the inn is full, Garrick, thinking this is all part of the joke, offers to give up his room and bunk with Tubby, his servant. While the actors continue to stage duels and mad scenes designed to frighten Garrick, he flirts outrageously with the woman, Germaine. She, however, is not one of the actors, but a runaway countess and she is swept off her feet by his attentions. Finally, Garrick turns one of their tricks against the actors, and after they realize that he knows what they are doing, he attacks their stilted acting styles. He is especially harsh with Germaine. Impressed, the actors insist that he come to Paris after all. Once in Paris, he looks for Germaine, and finds out for the first time that she is not one of the troupe. Upset because he thought real life was bad acting, Garrick refuses to perform until he finds her. Happily, Germaine is in the audience and smiles her forgiveness from the boxes. Garrick then goes on to present a brilliant performance of Don Juan .

Great Garrick, The -- (Movie Clip) The Rest Is Slience Following a brief prologue, director James Whale recreates the climax of "Hamlet" at London's Theatre Royal, 1750, title character David Garrick (Brian Aherne) as the Danish prince, opening The Great Garrick, 1937.
Great Garrick, The -- (Movie Clip) Flame Of Fame English thespian David Garrick (Brian Aherne), with manservant Tubby (Edward Everett Horton), at a French inn, more than nervous about his upcoming appearance with the Comedie Francaise in Paris, in James Whale's The Great Garrick, 1937.
Great Garrick, The -- (Movie Clip) My Man Will Be Delighted English star Garrick (Brian Aherne) and Tubby (Edward Everett Horton) pretend not to know the inn is staffed by ill-willed French actors, Melville Cooper the fake innkeeper, Milton Owen picks a swordfight, Countess Germaine (Olivia de Havilland) arrives unexpected, in The Great Garrick, 1937.
Great Garrick, The - (Original Trailer) Director James Whale (The Bride Of Frankenstein) brings his quirky view to this portrait of 18th Century Britain's most famous actor.
The Great Garrick (1937) is a fictional comedy set around a real person, the 18th-century British actor David Garrick, widely considered one of the greatest of all time. After performing a show at London's Drury Lane Theater, Garrick (Brian Aherne) announces that he has accepted an invitation to appear on the Paris stage for a guest season. He boastfully adds that maybe he will teach the French something about acting. The French theater company gets wind of these comments and, feeling insulted, decides to play a prank to teach Garrick himself a lesson. Arriving in France, he stays at an inn which unbeknownst to him has been completely taken over by the French actors. They stage a "play" all around Garrick, attempting to frighten and embarrass him. Garrick eventually figures out the ploy but decides to play along, and that's when the acting fireworks really begin. Olivia de Havilland arrives as an actual guest of the hotel, but Garrick thinks she's simply another actor and berates her. Ultimately he realizes his mistake, but she has left for Paris and Garrick must try and win her back while playing Don Juan on the Paris stage.
The charming story and overall tone of this movie convey the magic of theater, and beautiful costumes and sets go a long way toward this end. Variety's review lauded the picture, singling out Anton Grot's art direction as some of the best "which the screen has yet shown." But the critic was not so gung-ho on the movie's commercial prospects. "The Great Garrick is a film worth the exacting effort which unquestionably was required in its making. Artistically, first class; commercially, a question mark." Sure enough, the picture flopped, much to Jack Warner's annoyance.
The Great Garrick was directed by James Whale, on loan-out from Universal, and produced by Mervyn LeRoy - or as the credit reads, "personally supervised by Mervyn LeRoy." It was LeRoy's fourth independent production at Warner Brothers. The screenplay was by the Hungarian Ernest Vajda, who had written such film gems as The Love Parade (1929) and The Smiling Lieutenant (1931). In a nod to the theatrical nature of the story, his screen credit reads "a play for the screen."
As Garrick, Brian Aherne gives a bravura performance in a role which was written specifically for him. Vajda had originally proposed writing The Great Garrick as a stage play for Aherne, but an amusing chain of events led to a screenplay instead. Aherne recounted in his memoirs that after Vajda pitched him the story in his Beverly Hills living room (acting out all the roles with gusto), Aherne "agreed at once to take the play, and [Vajda] rushed home in great excitement to put it down on paper. Unfortunately, on the way he stopped in at a cocktail party where, after a couple of drinks, he had a fine time retelling the story, with embellishments no doubt, to Mervyn LeRoy. Without hesitation, Mervyn offered to buy it for a movie, and without thinking, Vajda accepted.
"Time went by and he failed to deliver a script to either of us. Mervyn pressed him until finally he produced an outline which bore little relationship to the story we had all enjoyed. It seemed he had forgotten it! We all had to remind him of pieces of his own dialogue. I lost my play, and while Mervyn did manage to make a picture for Warner Brothers, the story was never as good as it had been at the first telling... The picture was to flop at the box office - so badly, in fact, that Jack Warner [said] he never wanted to see me on the lot again. He did, however, in the following year" (when Aherne co-starred in Juarez, 1939).
Of his co-star Olivia de Havilland, Aherne wrote that she was "young and entrancing" and that he threw a party on the set for her twenty-first birthday. "I little thought that I would one day marry her younger sister, Joan Fontaine." Aherne doesn't mention that he actually dated de Havilland briefly before moving on to Joan, whom he married just two years later.
This was 17-year-old Lana Turner's third film appearance. She plays one of the French actors disguised as a barmaid and has three lines of dialogue - and quite a bit of giggling. Mervyn LeRoy took her under his wing and soon brought her along to MGM, where he supervised her burgeoning career. The Great Garrick also marked the screen debut of Albert Dekker (here credited as Albert Van Dekker), soon to become a respected character actor.

The play opened in London, England, UK on 18 May 1937.
Henry O'Neill is listed in studio records for the role "Sir Joshua Reynolds". Although the character is mentioned, he is not seen in the movie.
Variety gives the running time at the film's preview in Hollywood as 82 min. Brian Ahern later married Olivia De Havilland's sister Joan Fontaine. This was Albert van Dekker's film debut. He later changed his name to Albert Dekker. According to modern sources, the film did poor business despite favorable reviews.

Kids are impressionable, especially when motorcycles are involved. That magical combination of sound, smell and danger has a way of imprinting itself on young minds. But Kyle Harvey didn't just dream of bikes as a child—he practically grew up with them.
Kyle's trade is tool and die making, but his passion is building bikes. His father, Garth Harvey, got Kyle and his brother into bikes at a young age; as soon as they could start their old man's vintage motorcycles, they were riding them. Living in Edenvale in South Africa's Gauteng province, the boys also had direct access to the local Classic Motorcycle Club.
The folks at the CMC made quite an impression on young Kyle—and taught him everything he knows about vintage bikes. After helping numerous friends work on their bikes, he went on to open his own shop, named simply 'The Workshop.' Kyle has been building and restoring classic motorcycles for over a decade now.
This cheeky bobber is his latest build, and it's immensely fascinating. The engine's from a Triumph TR6 Trophy, the frame is from a Matchless, and the quirky handmade details on it are endless.

The V12 engine holds a special place in the heart of many automotive and motorsports fans. For some, it's the sound of Formula 1 through the years, especially during the 1990s. For others, it's engines like the 6.1 L BMW S70/2 from the McLaren F1 or the 3.9L Lamborghini V12 that powered all their cars from the Miura through to the Diablo. No matter where it lies in your heart, it is the "proper" configuration for many: 6 cylinders per bank, put into a V, and firing in an odd sequence to give it that special roar under power.
Yet, as concerns over fuel efficiency, qualms about environmental impact, and high-powered turbocharged V8 or V6 engines are the norm now, the V12 is slowly, but surely, being put to rest. In fact, the only place that V12s are still hanging on by the last threads of their engine mounting bolts are in supercars, hypercars, and a few ultra-luxury cars. Even then, many exotic brands have announced that their next cars will either be V10s or turbo V8s and V6s.
Since it appears that the swan song of the V12 is reaching a crescendo, we thought it only appropriate to celebrate the few remaining cars out there that carry them. It may be the last time we see some of these brands, many of which are known for their V12s.
The Amazing Last V12 Production Versions from the Big Brands

The writing is on the wall for the prancing horse, as the new Ferrari 296 GTB is showing the direction that Maranello is headed. Yet, unless you were invited to snag one of the limited-edition Monza SP1 or SP2 cars, there is still one car you can buy from the legendary marque that has all 12 cylinders fully intact.
The 6.5L F140 GA V12. Image Via: Wikimedia Commons.
The 6.5L F140 GA 65-degree V12 in the front of the 812 is the last road-going version of the V12 that debuted in the Ferrari Enzo. Producing a monstrous 789 HP and 530 lbs-ft of torque, it is no slouch either, as when the 812 Superfast debuted, it was the most powerful naturally aspirated production car engine ever made.
It has the typical low-rev Ferrari roar that rises into a howl as the car revs up to nearly 9,000 RPM, and will catapult the 3,845 (1,744 kg) car to 60 MPH in 2.9 seconds. As far as a curtain call is concerned, that's a great way to bow out and focus on hybrids and turbocharged engines.
Mercedes-Maybach S680 4MATIC

Mercedes-Benz used to be at the very top of the V12 pecking order when it came to luxury performance cars. Such classics as the S 65 AMG from the mid-2000s and the 500 TE AMG W123 Touring from the very end of the 1970s came with big V12s that sound astounding, but the biggest and baddest of the Mercedes V12s left on in a production car is the M279 E60 LA that hauled the S65 AMGs of 2014.

In our continuing quest to source motorcycle gear that combines safety and style, we bring you our thoughts on Shoei's new ECE 22.06-approved NXR2 helmet. Plus a stealthy riding parka from Akin Moto, and the perfect pair of urban riding gloves from Rev'It!.
Shoei NXR2 helmet It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Shoei's helmets. Every Shoei I've owned has fit and felt right from the first wear, with no major deviations in their sizing or shape from model to model. So when I was looking for a do-it-all street helmet to replace my well-used Shoei RYD, the new NXR2 was a no-brainer… and it hasn't disappointed.
I loved the RYD for its combination of neutral styling, comfort and ventilation. The NXR2 basically feels like a premium version of the RYD; it has the same clean aesthetic, but ramps up the performance. And it's one of the few helmets that meet with Europe's new, and more stringent, ECE 22.06 standard.

Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel recently announced that he will retire from Formula 1 after the season ends. Vettel made the announcement through his newly created Instagram account, which is actually his first social media account.
The world champion made his debut In the 2007 United States Grand Prix with BMW Sauber. From 2010 to 2013, the distinguished German driver won all four of his championships with Red Bull. With 53 victories, he is also on the third place on the all-time list of Grand Prix winners.
Unfortunately, his stint with Ferrari did not help him win any additional championship title. His year and a half with Aston Martin only got him one podium finish and his contract will expire by the end of 2022.
Before the Hungarian Grand Prix, Vettel announced his retirement plans with the 2022 season as his 15th and final season with Formula 1.
Vettel shared, "I have had the privilege of working with many fantastic people in Formula 1 over the past 15 years – there are far too many to mention and thank," said Vettel. "Over the past two years I have been an Aston Martin driver – and although our results have not been as good as we had hoped, it is very clear to me that everything is being put together that a team needs to race at the very highest level for years to come.
"I have really enjoyed working with such a great bunch of people. Everyone – Lawrence [Stroll], Lance [Stroll], Martin [Whitmarsh], Mike [Krack], the senior managers, the engineers, the mechanics and the rest of the team – is ambitious, capable, expert, committed and friendly, and I wish them all well.
"I hope that the work I did last year and am continuing to do this year will be helpful in the development of a team that will win in the future, and I will work as hard as I can between now and the end of the year with that goal in mind, giving as always my best in the last 10 races.
"The decision to retire has been a difficult one for me to take, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about it; at the end of the year I want to take some more time to reflect on what I will focus on next; it is very clear to me that, being a father, I want to spend more time with my family.
"But today is not about saying goodbye. Rather, it is about saying thank you – to everyone – not least to the fans, without whose passionate support Formula 1 could not exist."
Lawrence Stroll, owner of Aston Martin, added, "I want to thank Sebastian from the bottom of my heart for the great work that he has done for Aston Martin over the past year and a half. We made it clear to him that we wanted him to continue with us next year, but in the end he has done what he feels is right for himself and his family, and of course we respect that.
"He has driven some fantastic races for us, and, behind the scenes, his experience and expertise with our engineers have been extremely valuable. He is one of the all-time greats of Formula 1, and it has been a privilege to have been able to work with him.
"He will continue to race for us up to and including the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which will be his 300th Grand Prix entry. We will give him a fabulous send-off."
Mike Krack, Team Principal stated, "Sebastian is a superb driver – fast, intelligent and strategic – and of course we are going to miss those qualities. However, we have all learned from him, and the knowledge that we have gained from working with him will continue to benefit our team long after his departure.
"Aston Martin is a great project, with unlimited potential, and the groundwork that Sebastian has done last year, and is still doing this year, is crucial. When we become fully competitive – and we will – one of the architects of that future success will be Sebastian, and we will always be grateful to him for that."
289 Grand Prix starts. 53 wins. 122 podiums. 57 pole positions. Four #F1 World Championships.

Bell Is Producing Limited Edition Replicates Of Steve McQueen's Helmet, Starting with the 1964 ISDT


(Yicai Global) April 15 -- The Bulk House has been fighting the anti-plastic fight in China for just over a year, promoting zero-waste and a minimalist lifestyle, as well as selling a range of carefully sourced own-brand products, including reusable bags, biodegradable toothbrushes, and metal straws.
Englishman Joe Harvey and his Chinese partner Carrie Yu started the Beijing-based company by opening a store in 2018. The couple came up with the idea when Yu realized that she had too much "stuff," as she puts it. She had seen a video featuring Bea Johnson, a now prominent anti-waste activist, about "the idea of peeling back our waste, and living with what we have," Yu says. Overall, it means reducing waste to the minimum.
"We were both environmentally conscious," Harvey says, "We thought about turning the lights off but realized that, even with these kind of efforts, the state of the environment is so bad that we have to do a lot more."
The Bulk House is promoting a lifestyle that encourages consumers to shop locally, use organic cotton, remove packaging, and buy less.
China's recent ban on plastic trash from the US could leave more than 100 million tonnes 'homeless.' And with Coca-Cola disclosing that it creates three million tonnes of plastic packaging a year and rare whales found dead with dozens of plastic bags in their throats, humankind could benefit from Yu and Harvey's type of crusade.
"Think about how you can reuse items such as bags and straws, so you don't just live a disposable lifestyle of plastic," says Harvey, "We always ask for our products to be shipped without plastic packaging where possible."
"I realized that I was travelling to get groceries," he says. "So why not shop locally at the place nearest to my house?" This saves time and is a great way to reduce fuel consumption that damages the planet.
"We demanded that each and every item be sent completely unpackaged when sent to us," Harvey says. "For example, if we didn't request the metal straws being packed without plastic, we would have more waste. We want this to happen at the source, not just personally. It didn't cost us more, but just took more time to remind the producers that we didn't want packaging."
"Even though we are a business, we value people buying less overall," he added. "People should buy smart, rather than buying more stuff they don't need. We should care more than want." Buying less always helps, and is a great stepping-stone to better environmental mindfulness.
This all might sound difficult, but it is a step-by-step process that Harvey and Yu were ready to embrace to reduce the mountain of pollution being produced each day — a reason why The Bulk House is so innovative. Harvey and Yu realized the way forward was to go further.
Both partners, with backgrounds in technology and trade respectively, realized that their efforts could be better spent creating products to help people reduce their waste. As an example, they followed the philosophy of 'zero waste' bloggers and took a jar, the size of a regular coffee at most commercial outlets, to see if they could fit all their non-recyclable waste into just one 'jar' for a year.
They managed to use only two jars in three months for two people. "We lived perfectly well. We requested companies not to use plastic bags when possible if something was delivered, and it worked," Yu says.
After leaving their jobs to pursue their passion, the couple opened The Bulk House store in Beijing in 2018, aiming to help everyone to reduce their day-to-day disposable consumption. "We kept the jar as a symbol of all our disposable waste. From plastic straws to bags, we used it as a marker to develop our shop so people realize they can make a difference every single day," says Harvey. The store has now moved fully online, but still includes their range of products such as reusable tote bags and metal straws, which make day-to-day living more environmentally friendly.
The message is clear. "The waste in our jar was a way to grab people's attention," Harvey says. This spawned the products that they have sold.
"From the straws, this moved to mesh bags and muslin bags, so people could get their food in bulk without using plastic," he says. Through its bold experiment, The Bulk House is pushing forward future-thinking, and starting a, albeit miniscule, way of living without waste in the modern world. Every gesture, however small, counts.
