Gérald Auffret Van der Kemp, né le  à Charenton-le-Pont, mort le  à Neuilly-sur-Seine, inhumé à Giverny dans l'Eure, est un conservateur de musée français.

De  à , il assure la conservation en chef du château de Versailles et des Trianons où il mène des campagnes de restauration et de restitution très remarquées. Dans son action, il bénéficie en particulier du soutien appuyé du président de la République française, le général de Gaulle, et de son ministre de la Culture, André Malraux.

Pour trouver les fonds nécessaires à la réalisation de ses projets, Gérald Van der Kemp, personnalité de la vie mondaine parisienne, sollicite ses relations dans la haute société internationale et reçoit le concours de nombreux mécènes et milliardaires américains.

En , après sa retraite, il conduit la restauration de la maison et des jardins de Claude Monet à Giverny à la demande de l'Institut de France dont il est membre.

Biographie

1912 - 1953 : les débuts

Issu d'une famille originaire des Pays-Bas où, selon ses dires, « coule du sang breton, hollandais, anglais et aussi, en grande quantité, américain », Gérald van der Kemp naît le  dans la proche banlieue parisienne, à Charenton-le-Pont. Il grandit dans une folie nantaise, appelée la gentilhommière de la Meslerie, et poursuit ses études secondaires au lycée Georges Clemenceau de Nantes.

La crise de  ruinant ses parents, il part à Paris seul, à dix-sept ans, et tente de survivre en exécutant des caricatures pour les journaux et en préparant l'entrée à l'École des Beaux-Arts. Deux années plus tard, en , il se résout à changer d'orientation et s'engage dans la Légion étrangère. Il est affecté au  régiment étranger et envoyé au Maroc.

À son retour de la Légion, Gérald van der Kemp s'inscrit à l'Institut d'art et d'archéologie  et suit les cours de l'École du Louvre. Selon Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, son successeur à l'Académie des Beaux-arts, il obtient ses diplômes d'archéologie et de l'École du Louvre en .

La même année, il est engagé par Henri Verne, directeur des musées nationaux, et devient chargé de mission au département des Dessins et Gravures du Musée du Louvre. Il est chargé de dresser l'inventaire et le catalogue de la collection Rothschild.

Mobilisé au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Gérald van der Kemp est versé dans une unité de télégraphie. Fait prisonnier en Normandie, il s'évade le  et se retrouve au château de Valençay où a été évacuée en dépôt, aux fins de préservation, une partie des trésors des musées nationaux, la statuaire, dont il a la charge. Cette évacuation a été commencée dès 1939 par Jacques Jaujard, sous-directeur des Musées nationaux (puis directeur de  à ), vers des édifices assez vastes et éloignés des villes pour abriter les collections. Le château de Valençay, propriété du duc de Talleyrand, sert donc de dépôt à la statuaire : la Vénus de Milo, la Victoire de Samothrace, le Gladiateur Borghèse, ainsi qu'à une partie des collections des musées Guimet, Cognacq-Jay et Nissim-de-Camondo.

En , il est muté au château de Montal, ou il a la charge des tableaux, autre trésor des musées nationaux, placés là en dépôt. C'est à Montal que Gérald van der Kemp a pu admirer « chaque soir La Joconde au pied de son lit sur un chevalet ». Effectivement, ce chef-d'œuvre est transféré le , sous la surveillance de René Huyghe, à Louvigny (Calvados). Après une halte au château de Chambord le , elle séjourne tout l'été dans une propriété privée, l'abbaye de Loc-Dieu, à Villefranche-de-Rouergue dans l'Aveyron. Le , elle est entreposée dans les réserves du musée Ingres-Bourdelle de Montauban. L'avancée allemande en zone libre amène ensuite à l'abriter au château de Montal (Lot) où elle demeure jusqu'à la fin de la guerre.

En , « en remerciement des services rendus pendant la guerre » explique-t-il à un chroniqueur, Jacques Jaujard le nomme conservateur adjoint au château de Versailles où il seconde le conservateur en chef Charles Mauricheau-Beaupré à partir d'.

Le , Charles Mauricheau-Beaupré se tue dans un accident de voiture à Moncton, dans la province du Nouveau-Brunswick (Canada). Sur les instances pressantes de Daniel Wildenstein  le ministre de l'Éducation Nationale André Marie, et le secrétaire d'État aux Beaux-Arts, André Cornu, nomment Gérald van der Kemp conservateur en chef « faisant fonction » du musée de Versailles le . Il sera titularisé à ce poste de conservateur en chef en .

1953 - 1980 : Versailles

Le passage de Gérald van der Kemp à la conservation en chef de Versailles  marque un tournant majeur dans la communication et la restauration du domaine (ce que soulignent les nombreuses nécrologies parues dans le monde après sa mort). Pour certains pays de langue anglaise, il est « le sauveur de Versailles »<ref name="Scotsman"> Obituaries, van der Kemp: 'saviour of Versailles''', The Scotsman, 16 janvier 2002.</ref>.

À son entrée en fonction, balayant d'une phrase les travaux de ses prédécesseurs, Gérald van der Kemp déclare avoir trouvé le palais « dégoûtant, vide, mort » et décidé qu'il « redevienne vivant, beau à regarder, ce qu'il était du temps des rois ».

Dans ce but, il orchestre en premier lieu des actions de communication autour de Versailles. En particulier, en 1955, il organise l'exposition Marie-Antoinette avec le concours de la baronne Élie de Rothschild. Celle-ci obtient le prêt, par différents collectionneurs internationaux, de quantité de meubles, peintures et objets versaillais dispersés à la Révolution, ce qui permet de les montrer « à leur emplacement d'origine ». La présentation fait sensation en montrant comment Versailles pourrait être, au moins partiellement, remeublé.

 Les appuis
 Mécènes
Gérald van der Kemp possède également un savoir-faire en relations publiques. Roger Peyrefitte, qui le présente comme « un personnage important de la maçonnerie », souligne parallèlement qu'il a « su jouer de ses relations mondaines plus qu'aucun autre responsable de musée ». Servi par une vaste érudition, van der Kemp sait mettre en valeur des mots clés : « La France possède quatre grandes locomotives qui continuent à fasciner les gens : Versailles, madame de Pompadour, Marie-Antoinette, et Napoléon. Sur ces noms-là, on peut toujours trouver de l'argent » explique-t-il. Sur cette base, il mobilise le réseau de grands amateurs qu'il s'est constitué depuis sa rencontre avec Daniel Wildenstein à l'École du Louvre, amateurs bientôt suivis par les grandes fortunes internationales.

Il est appuyé, dès sa prise de fonction, par une publicité inattendue : du  au , Sacha Guitry tourne au château Si Versailles m'était conté… (dont une partie des droits est offerte à la conservation), film dont le succès international provoque un engouement pour Versailles et « lance une mode qui ne se démodera pas ».

Parmi les premiers grands donateurs enregistrés dans les années cinquante peuvent être cités, entre autres, Douglas Dillon, la famille Rockefeller, la famille David-Weill, Mary Lasker, Barbara Hutton, Arturo López Willshaw, Paul-Louis Weiller. Selon les cas, il s'agit de dons d'objets, meubles, tableaux, ou d'appuis financiers considérables.

Dans sa recherche de fonds, Gérald van der Kemp bénéficie bientôt du soutien supplémentaire de sa seconde épouse, l'Américaine Florence Russell Bennett Harris (rencontrée en , épousée en ). Celle-ci, fille d'amiral, dont la famille a fait fortune dans le café et la construction d'autoroutes, ouvre son réseau social personnel à son mari et fonde ultérieurement la Versailles Foundation (), association destinée à sensibiliser et réunir les riches donateurs américains.

 Pouvoirs publics
L'intérêt des pouvoirs publics pour Versailles ne peut être attribué à la seule détermination de Gérald van der Kemp. Dès , bien avant sa nomination à la conservation en chef, le secrétaire d'État aux Beaux-Arts André Cornu a lancé une campagne efficace de trois ans, Sauvegarde de Versailles. L'arrivée du général de Gaulle au pouvoir  donne une accélération majeure au mouvement. Lois et décrets se succèdent en faveur de ce monument emblématique : décret Malraux du , décret Debré du  prescrivant le retour à Versailles de tous les éléments de mobilier répartis dans les administrations et collections publiques, loi du  créant des périmètres spéciaux et, enfin, loi de programme du  dotant Versailles et Trianon (auxquels s'ajoute Fontainebleau) de  de francs .

Pour les historiens de l'époque, la portée idéologique de ces décisions est indéniable : le pouvoir gaullien, en pleine période de ce que l'on appelle la « politique de grandeur », donne à Versailles un rôle de représentation fort.

Gérald van der Kemp le comprend et sert ce propos avec d'autant plus d'efficacité qu'il correspond à son souhait. Jusqu'à son départ en , de Gaulle lui manifeste sa bienveillance, louant son « sens artistique. son goût et son ingéniosité ». Ingéniosité qui se manifeste ainsi avec éclat lors de la restauration du Grand Trianon (-), effectuée à la demande personnelle du chef de l'État pour héberger les hôtes de la République : dans la restitution  Empire arrêtée pour les lieux, Gérald van der Kemp fait installer trente-deux salles de bains et trois cent cinquante téléphones.

La sollicitude élyséenne s'étend d'ailleurs à madame Van der Kemp, dont son mari assure que « le général de Gaulle l'aimait beaucoup ».

 Les actions

S'il est parfois surnommé « le sauveur de Versailles », Gérald van der Kemp a été, de son temps, une personnalité discutée. Certaines de ses interventions firent l'objet, à l'époque, d'articles de presse virulents, notamment dans l'Humanité.

Après la restauration du Grand Trianon (), par exemple, son goût pour la décoration et le travail de tapissier est diversement évoqué : les analyses vont de ce que Jean-Marie Pérouse de Montclos appelle ironiquement le « velours frappé van der Kemp » à une critique en règle de ce « festival de coloris du Grand Trianon nouvelle manière ».

Un sommet est atteint après la restitution de la Chambre de la Reine, quand le quotidien Le Monde, sous la plume d'André Fermigier, assure qu'« on est véritablement au bord de la conjonctivite devant l'or des passementeries, des sièges, des boiseries, des objets décoratifs ». Le même article s'interroge sur les moulages en plastique des torchères placées dans la Galerie des Glaces : « C'est vraiment bien laid ». L'opinion est relayée par L'Express en  : « On y a aligné des torchères en plastique et des lustres en cristal de Bohême dignes du faubourg Saint-Antoine, fabriqués en série et en Louis XV ».

L'action de Gérald van der Kemp s'inscrit cependant dans une continuité. Dès , son prédécesseur Pierre de Nolhac rêve de redorer Versailles  et prévoit le retour des meubles royaux dispersés à la Révolution (à compter de , Pierre Verlet mène de minutieuses recherches d'identification pour situer ces meubles disparus).

De même, la restitution de la chambre de la Reine, généralement attribuée au seul van der Kemp, est préparée bien avant son arrivée à Versailles : le tissage du « grand broché aux plumes de paon » ou « grand broché à la Reine » de la pièce, identifié au début des années quarante par Pierre Verlet  et Charles Mauricheau-Beaupré, commence en 1946.

D'autre part, pour mener à bien son action, Gérald van der Kemp n'est pas seul. Il est entouré d'une équipe de partenaires et collaborateurs de haut niveau : architectes en chef tels Marc Saltet (nommé de  à ) et Jean-Louis Humbaire (-), ou conservateurs parmi lesquels Pierre Lemoine, son successeur, et Jean Coural, organisateur de la plupart des grandes expositions de Versailles des années soixante.

Parmi ses multiples réalisations :
 Réouverture de l'Opéra royal ().
Commencée en  par André Japy, architecte en chef du palais, et poursuivie par son successeur Marc Saltet, cette réhabilitation est consacrée par un gala d'inauguration, le , en présence de la reine Élisabeth II.
 Restitution du Grand Trianon ().
Cette opération de grande envergure, menée dans des délais très courts (-), touche , totalisant  de boiseries et  de parquets. Marc Saltet dirige les travaux du bâti cependant que Gérald Van der Kemp orchestre la reconstitution du décor mural et mobilier.
 Restitution de la cour de Marbre (-).
Cette réalisation s'étale sur près de quinze ans. La remise en état des membrons et pots à feu, entre  et , est suivie du rétablissement du niveau d'origine et la reconstitution du dallage.
 Réouverture du Petit Trianon.
Les premiers résultats de la restauration sont inaugurés le  (seule la salle à manger est ouverte). Ils sont le résultat d'un travail de fond réalisé par tranches depuis  : mise hors d'eau, consolidation de l'escalier (), dépose, décapage des boiseries, etc.
 Récupération du site de la Grande Écurie (années ).
Occupé par les archives départementales, les Bâtiments de France, le ministère de la Défense, la Bibliothèque nationale et l'école des Beaux-arts, ce site est réclamé énergiquement par Van der Kemp. Il obtient gain de cause en partie. Après son départ, la direction de Versailles récupérera la Grande Ecurie dans son entier.
 Travaux d'urgence dans les jardins (années ).
Les campagnes menées au château et au musée ne permettent pas de mener une action d'ampleur sur les jardins. Il est néanmoins procédé à la remise en état des fontaines et à la mise en étanchéité des bassins (sauf celui de Neptune).
 Remise en état et ouverture de l'appartement de madame de Maintenon ().
Tendues de damas vert et rouge galonné d'or, ces quatre pièces abritent désormais les petits portraits de la collection Gaignères, les portraits de femmes que Louis XIV avait réunis dans son célèbre « cabinet des beautés » et les gouaches de Cotelle et Werner pour le Grand Dauphin.
 Restitution de la chambre de la Reine ().
Préparé dès  par Charles Mauricheau-Beaupré, prédécesseur de Gérald Van der Kemp, ce morceau de bravoure aboutit grâce au mécénat résolument suscité par ce dernier. Cette pièce spectaculaire est inaugurée en .
 Transfert du galerie des Carrosses ().
Cette collection installée auparavant étroitement à Trianon est déplacée sur le site plus vaste de la Grande Écurie, désormais récupéré. Le musée n'ouvrira au public qu'en .
 Réformes des services de la conservation et création d'ateliers d'art.
Parallèlement à ses activités les plus visibles, Gérald Van der Kemp mène une action en profondeur sur l'administration, réorganisant les services de la conservation et créant des ateliers de tapisserie, dorure et restauration, inexistants avant son arrivée.
 Retour à Versailles des meubles, peintures et objets des collections royales.

Poursuite d'une œuvre entamée par ses prédécesseurs, le retour des meubles et objets royaux prend une ampleur particulière à l'époque de « VDK ». La première pièce historique majeure à revenir au palais sous son égide est le bureau du Roi (1957).

 Galerie des Glaces. Début des travaux en , inauguration en .
 Chambre du Roi. La loi-programme sur les musées () a permis de consacrer pour l'ensemble de la restauration du décor fixe un montant de cinq millions de francs.  de francs ont été consacrés à la restauration complète des boiseries ainsi qu'à la reconstitution de la balustrade de l'alcôve. La restauration du mobilier est due pour partie à des dons privés français et étrangers qui ont permis le retissage du brocart or et argent.

 La vie mondaine

 1980 - 2001 : Giverny

« Il est gigantesque. Il a le teint rose et clair des gens qui savent que la vie vaut la peine d'être vécue. Il a le regard malicieux, un sourire qui quitte rarement ses lèvres bien dessinées. Il a de belles mains blanches, soignées, dont il se sert pour ponctuer une conversation d'érudit. Il ne tourne jamais la tête mais le corps tout entier avec une sorte de majesté tranquille. »
José Luis de Vilallonga, Gold Gotha, Seuil-le Livre de Poche, , .

Amazon's Washington critics set to pounce on MGM deal
Diane Bartz
May 26, 2021 • Last Updated May 26, 2021 • 3 minute read
WASHINGTON — Amazon's move to buy the MGM movie and TV studio will provide fuel for the Seattle company's critics in the nation's capitol who complain it is already too big and powerful, but experts said the deal poses few classic antitrust concerns.
A little more than an hour after the deal was announced, Republican Senator Josh Hawley blasted Amazon.com as a "monopoly platform" on Twitter, adding, "This sale should not go through," and that the company shouldn't be allowed to buy anything.
And Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, who chairs the Senate's antitrust panel, called for "a thorough investigation to ensure that this deal won't risk harming competition."
The announcement also comes just one day after Washington, DC's attorney general filed a lawsuit against Amazon.com, alleging the online retailer broke antitrust law with unfair pricing strategies.
The $8.45 billion merger would combine the world's biggest online retailer with a film and TV studio that has a storied past but has struggled to keep up with rivals including Disney.
MGM, which owns the James Bond franchise and made "The Handmaid's Tale," also made classic films like the "Rocky" series and "Princess Bride." But look at the top ten grossing films of 2018 and 2019 and MGM is absent, according to boxofficemojo. As is Amazon.
Amazon's Prime Video, which is bundled with subscriptions to Amazon's service that promises quick deliveries of purchases, also faces well-financed rivals including Netflix Inc, Walt Disney Co's Disney+, HBO Max and Apple Inc's Apple TV+. The companies are increasing investments in international markets, aiming to capture the pandemic-led expansion of binge-watching shows online.
Given the state of competition in the two markets, antitrust agencies which police mergers for anticompetitive behavior would likely struggle to convince a court that the deal will mean higher prices or less innovation.
"It seems like the market shares aren't big enough to attract the attention of today's antitrust enforcers," said Chris Sagers, a professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law with a focus on antitrust, who noted that because of its size, "people will be concerned because it's Amazon."
Amazon declined to comment on this story but in an October 2020 blog post noted that "large companies are not dominant by definition, and the presumption that success can only be the result of anti-competitive behavior is simply wrong."
Amazon has come under criticism for buying competitors, like online shoe seller Zappos in 2009 and Diapers.com in 2010, and that criticism is likely to continue.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, when she was running for president, explicitly called for federal regulators to undo "anti-competitive mergers," including Amazon's purchases of Whole Foods and Zappos.
"Amazon is prioritizing monopolizing content for the streaming service while completely failing to address the real concerns of workers, small businesses, and regulators," said Alex Harman, a competition policy advocate for Public Citizen.
Antitrust experts have been studying Amazon's purchase of the Whole Foods supermarket chain in 2017 for clues about how the MGM deal might be handled. That merger was quickly approved by U.S. competition regulators even though Amazon was at that time much criticized for allegedly using its market power to dominate different retail sectors.
"For political reasons, they might spend more time with this acquisition than they did with Whole Foods but for practical reasons it might end up the same," said Andre Barlow, antitrust expert with Doyle, Barlow and Mazard.

The shoot was such a good way to get to know them, and it really clicked right away! Not only do we share cultural backgrounds but also love for travel ( gino proposed in italy... hello!) and family.

Q: How to use a specific groovy version in a particular stage within a declarative pipeline? On my windows machine,
groovy -version
Groovy Version: 3.0.8 JVM: 16.0.1 Vendor: Oracle Corporation OS: Windows 10

I have two groovy installations as well through Global Tool Configuration with names-
Groovy 3.0.5
Groovy 3.0.6

I intend to execute a groovy code within a declarative pipeline.
The Jenkins installation which I have, was shipped with groovy-all-2.4.12 which doesn't ships with groovy.xml.XmlSlurper
The below is the piece of code
pipeline {
    agent any

    tools {
        nodejs 'NodeJS'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Hello') {
            steps {
                echo 'Hello World'
            }
        }

        stage('Initial-Checks') {
            steps {

                bat "npm -v"
                bat "groovy -v"  // gives the one installed on windows(i.e. 3.0.8)
        }}

        stage('Policy-Code Analysis') {
            steps {
                 script {
                    def text = '''
                        <list>
                            <technology>
                                <name>Jenkins, Groovy</name>
                            </technology>
                        </list>
                    '''

                    def list = new XmlSlurper().parseText(text)

                    assert list instanceof groovy.xml.slurpersupport.GPathResult
                    println list.technology.name
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Running this, results in
unable to resolve class groovy.xml.XmlSlurper
   def list = new groovy.xml.XmlSlurper().parseText(text)

How can i use the groovy version 3.0.6 for the code wrapped within script { ... } and not the version which Jenkins is using?
Also, the below doesn't works with tooling
pipeline {
        agent any

        stages {
            stage ("first") {
                tools {
                   groovy "Groovy 3.0.5"
                }
                steps {
                    bat 'groovy -version'  // gives 3.0.8 and not 3.0.5
                }
            }
            stage("second"){
                tools {
                   groovy "Groovy 3.0.6"
                }
                steps{
                    bat 'groovy -version'  // gives 3.0.8 and not 3.0.6
                }
            }
       }
}

A: First options is to use different agents in separate stages, which has different groovy versions installed (docker images for example).
pipeline {
  agent none
  stages {
    stage {
      agent { label 'some_label' }
      steps {
        bat 'groovy -version'
      }
    stage("second"){
      agent { label 'another_label' }
      steps{
        bat 'groovy -version'
      }
    }
  }
}

There is a workaround to use groovy tool.
pipeline {
  agent any
  environment {
    GROOVY_HOME = tool name: '3.0.4', type: 'hudson.plugins.groovy.GroovyInstallation'
  }
  stages {
    stage ('run helloworld.groovy') {
      steps {
        sh '''
          echo 'println "Hello World!"' > helloworld.groovy
          ${GROOVY_HOME}/bin/groovy helloworld.groovy
        '''
      }
    }
  }
}

She can first be encountered reading outside one of the Cantons, when she is spoken to she will say "(?)" Needs verifying that she appears in city before her quests. Vaguely remember she does.
"My wife decides to run out and chase some damned looters in the middle of a disaster! Who does that sort of thing? You'd think Lord Vivec's Overseer would have a clearer head!"
The Overseer? I need to find her for Lord Vivec!
"She ran into the unfinished cantons. She's been beating herself up over the fact that they're behind schedule, but she won't do anyone any good if she gets herself killed!
My wife's tough as nails, but she's no warrior."
I'll find the Overseer and make sure she's all right.
"If you can, please bring my wife back to me safely. I'd like us to be together when Baar Dau crashes down around us.
Five years of happy marriage and this is how it all ends? I wish Lord Vivec would just do something!"
"A vacation! I don't think Shiralas has taken time off since we got married!
I hear Seyda Neen is beautiful this time of year. Maybe we can take a cruise up the coast..."
"Hey, you're the Champion of Vivec! I remember you! Did Drooler find you and bring you out here? He's such a good boy!"
Your wife sent me to find you. She was worried when you were gone so long.
"Shiralas sent you? She worries too much, but that's why I love her.
We did get a little turned around. And then that creature started sniffing around. Now that you're here, I think we can make a break for it. Drooler can lead me back to Shiralas."
She will then speak to her pet, saying "Come on, Drooler. Let's go find Shiralas." before heading off.
"Shiralas has been much more attentive since we got back. I think she even missed Drooler, if you can believe that.
I may have to get lost more often. I do so love the way she dotes upon me. Anyway, thanks again."

Q: Changing provided services based on user preferences in OSX? I would like to be able to change the OSX services that my application provides based on the current user's preferences (like adding more, changing the name,...). This basically means modifying the Info.plist (NSService key), but I don't think it is a good practice when an application modifies its own Info.plist while running, right? (At least based on few searches here). Is there any other option how to get this functionality?
I guess it should always be an external entity who does modify the Info.plist? So far I can only think about providing a system preference bundle which will do the modification in the actual app? Do you have any ideas?
Thank you

A: One way would be to install a service in ~/Library/Services that provides the services, and edit that application's Info.plist from your main application.
Of course, that should be an explicit action, so the user (hopefully) knows to delete the service if they delete your application. And you should document that procedure on your product's support web page, just in case they don't.

A: Here's a small twist to the previous recommendations, create a separate app that handles the service and bundle it within your Resources.  When you want to enable the service, instead of copying the file over to ~/Library/Services, create a symbolic link within the ~/Library/Services folder that points to the app you bundled in your Resources.
This way if the user deletes your application, all that will be left behind is a symbolic link pointing to an invalid location. Does less arm than actually leaving the app behind and will have the added benefit that the service will no longer be available (since the info.plist will have been removed when the user deleted your app).

Quest Diagnostics' mobile app compromised in breach of 34,000 records
A serious data breach at Quest Diagnostics that led to hackers accessing 34,000 people's health records was the faut of an unsecured mobile app, the company said in a statement. The company's MyQuest app, which is available for Apple and Android devices as well as the web, was the source of the breach.
"On November 26, 2016 an unauthorized third party accessed the MyQuest by Care360 internet application and obtained Protected Health Information (PHI) of approximately 34,000 individuals," the company said in a statement. "The accessed data included name, date of birth, lab results, and in some instances, telephone numbers. The information did not include Social Security numbers, credit card information, insurance or other financial information. There is no indication that individuals' information has been misused in any way."
Affected customers have been notified, the company said, and they are taking further steps to investigate the breach and prevent future breaches.
"When Quest Diagnostics discovered the intrusion, it immediately addressed the vulnerability," the company continued. "Quest is taking steps to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, and is working with a leading cybersecurity firm to assist in investigating and further evaluating the company's systems. The investigation is ongoing and the unauthorized intrusion has been reported to law enforcement."
The New Jersey lab testing company has been offering MyQuest, originally known as Gazelle, since 2010. At the time it made news for choosing to go mobile-first, making lab results available in an app before they made them available online. The app allows patients to schedule lab appointments, receive lab results, and also incorporates data from wearable sensors and offers medication adherence features.
Data breaches like this one are becoming increasingly common in healthcare, but the fact that a mobile app was the source of this one demonstrates the privacy and security concerns that come with mobile health.

La lex Voconia va ser una antiga llei romana que pretenia evitar la concentració de riquesa en una família per acumulació de les riqueses d'altres famílies que s'extingien o mitjançant disposicions testamentàries. La va presentar el tribú de la plebs Quint Voconi Saxa, quan eren cònsols Gneu Servili Cepió i Quint Marci Filip, l'any 169 aC.

La llei prohibia que el que estigués inscrit al cens després de la censura d'Aulus Postumi Albí i Quint Fulvi Flac, no podria instituir hereva a una dona o verge vestal (però les vestals sí que podien nomenar hereva a una dona, com a única excepció), ni deixar-li més de 25.000 asos, i la inhabilitava per ser hereva abintestat excepte dels parents més propers; tampoc es podia fer a una persona un llegat superior a la que restava per l'hereu. Limitava també l'herència màxima que podien rebre les dones.

La llei es va poder eludir pels que aconseguien evitar la seva inscripció en el cens o deixant l'herència en fideïcomís, i no va estar gaires anys en vigor. Algunes de les seves disposicions van ser després recollides per la lex Julia et Papia Poppaea.

Not all travel days run like clockwork. This is something we've learned after 7 years of wandering around the world. And even though we were aware that mishaps can happen (and will), we weren't prepared for our disastrous travel day from Barbados to Puerto Rico.
We arrived at the airport nice and early (we're notoriously early for everything), and prepared to check-in to our LIAT flight.
We were those people at the check-in counter. The lineup was filled with anxious travellers waiting to get their boarding passes and drop off their heavy bags. We were holding up the line while rummaging around our packs, pulling out charging cords, books, laptops and trying to make the little neon sign on the scale read: 15 pounds.
Once the weight issue was sorted, we were told that we owed $800 for our flight tickets – which apparently we hadn't paid for.
We had our online Visa statement proving that we had paid, and we also had e-tickets, so this made no sense whatsoever.
We were then told that we actually didn't have a seat on the plane, and that there were no flights to Puerto Rico for 2 days, possibly 3.
This wouldn't work for us, as our flights were already booked to Istanbul from Puerto Rico.
Never had we ever experienced anything quite like this. When the extremely rude and uninterested LIAT agent didn't want to help us, or explain anything to us, we contacted Expedia (who we booked through).
Expedia confirmed that yes, we had paid for the tickets and yes we were on the flight.
The Expedia representative actually contacted LIAT directly and sorted it all out for us!
After about 30 minutes, the supervisor appeared from the back room, made a few taps on the computer, and printed off our boarding passes – without saying anything, mind you. The only reason we knew what was going on was because we still had Expedia on the Skype call.
When we arrived at the gate, we were told the flight was delayed 2 hours.
At this point, we didn't care, we were going to be leaving Barbados that night and we were just glad to be on the plane!
When we touched down in San Juan, Puerto Rico at midnight, we were eager to pick up our car that we had rented for 3 days, drive to our beachfront guesthouse and promptly pass out.
Unfortunately, no sleeping would be had until 2:30am.
We're finally in the air!
The shuttle to pick us up and take us to the rental agency nearby was to arrive in "10 minutes after we land". After waiting 30 minutes, we called a second time. "Yes, sir, he will be there in 10 minutes". We waited, and waited.
Nick ended up calling the company about 6 times from other people's phones, until finally, they stopped answering our calls.
Our data on our SIM card from Barbados had run out after the second call to the rental agency.
After waiting for 2 hours at the airport, we decided to just take a taxi to our guesthouse, which defeated the purpose of having a rental car, as the cost of 1 day in the car is similar to a taxi.
We were also hesitant to leave because we thought we would be charged a cancellation fee for the car.
We were booked in to stay at the Numero 1 Guesthouse, and luckily, we had no issues with that portion of our travel day. We were greeted by the welcoming night staff and were shown to our room. Thankfully, our colourful accommodation was cooled in anticipation of our arrival – Puerto Rico was much more humid than Barbados!
We were both exhausted, frustrated and in all honesty, bummed out. This was the start of our exciting 5 month trip, but so far, the first leg of the adventure had been a mess.
The following morning, we were able to think more clearly.
We contacted Expedia again and explained our car rental situation. We definitely should have booked with a reputable rental company like Alamo, rather than the random one we were having to deal with.
Just like the day before, Expedia dealt with the issue and made sure our credit card was not charged any thing at all.
Once that was finalized, we were free to get on with our time on the island.
We made our way downstairs for our complementary breakfast and were in awe of the view. Because we had arrived so late, we weren't able to see the setting of the guesthouse, but in the light of day, it was before us in all of its glory!
A gorgeous, long stretch of golden sand was literally right outside the guesthouse doors. In fact, we ate our breakfast on tables propped up on the beach, with the sand between our toes.
We were up early enough to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the beach before the crowds arrived, which was exactly what we needed.
Our time in Puerto Rico was short, but very sweet. We weren't sure exactly what to expect from this American-Caribbean Island, but our impressions during our quick trip there were all very positive.
The diverse atoll offers sand dunes, rainforest, beaches, salt flats and mountains. Had we more time, we would have explored further.
The food is a delightful blend of African and Spanish influences, and we enjoyed flavourful meals at the local restaurants. Mofongo was our favourite dish, and the fresh seafood meals on the beach were delicious as well.
The old colonial town of San Juan is a must-see. The glossy blue cobblestone streets were very unique and the El Morro Fort dominating the entrance to the San Juan Harbour is definitely worth a visit.
We wandered around for hours gazing up at the little balconies attached to colourful buildings and enjoyed the liveliness of the town.
The blue cobblestone streets were so cool!
Even though we weren't actually able to hike at the El Yunque Rainforest as planned, from what we've heard, and from the views we had on the drive up there (and from the drone!), this is a magical area.
If you're interested in waterfalls and hiking, this is the place to go – although be warned, it can be very busy in the high season.
We're excited to be returning to this island again in June. This is a place that we feel deserves more time. The latin music and culture mixed with the slow rhythm of the Caribbean was an intoxicating blend that made us wish we didn't have to leave so soon.
Travel is always a bit of a gamble. Some days, everything runs smoothly and easily, while others, you wish you could just head back to bed and have a do-over. For us, sometimes it seems as though when it rains, it pours.
But no matter how disastrous a travel day may be, and no matter how many hiccups arise along the way, we always try to remember to be patient, keep our cool and figure out a solution to the problem. It's all part of the life of a traveller.
When we arrive in a place as beautiful as Puerto Rico, we are reminded of just how lucky we are to be able to experience these places. Travel has its ups and downs, but that what makes it such a fun adventure.
Have you ever been to Puerto Rico? We're heading back there in 5 months and we've already had so many great recommendations from readers so please, leave a comment and tell us what we should see and do when we return!
Also, Don't Miss Our Quick Puerto Rico Video!
Whew! What a hard start to a great trip. Good tips though about booking car rental with a reputable company. I was happy too to hear that Expedia gave you good service. It's not the usual comment!
Ya, we were super impressed with the service! We wouldn't have been on the plane if it weren't for them 🙂 Thanks for the comment.
HAHAHA! The latin's "10 minutes" can be 10 hours or 10 days and it's really annoying they can't be honest about their ETA! I mean, we wouldn't be angry if they said 5 days, right? At least we'll plan our travels well instead of waiting for them for hours. Nonetheless, this is a very interesting trip and I hope you guys had a blast!
i likes your blog and i regularly follow your post, every time you give us useful information that help us lot, thanks for sharing your views.
Looks fantastic the beaches are an amazing color.
Thank so much for the comment 🙂 It was quite the journey, that's for sure. Luckily, the stay in Puerto Rico was amazing!
Awww sounds like it was a bit of a crap start, haha! The hotel view is amazing, and I remember mofongo! Yummy. Your video quality is incredible. Which camera and steady cam are you using?
The views were amazing for sure! We have a drone, a GoPro Hero 3+ and for that we have a Feiyu Tech gimbal stabilizer.
Wow! Clearly, the stars were not aligned for you on that day! But you are so right. Snafus are part of travel and as aggravating as it can be in the moment, you have to roll with it and sometimes take matters into your own hands. Also, bit sure what Visa you used, but Signature Visas often come with some protections and recourse for travelers if, for example, Expedia wasn't there to help you out. Glad everything worked out, though!
I've never been to Puerto Rico , but it's now on my radar! I'll most certainly stay at Numero 1 Guesthouse, that view from the deck is incredible. Based on your little time there, I can see why you're looking forward to returning; beautiful beaches, scenic hiking, and good food (that ahi tuna looked like it was cooked to perfection)! Also, great video!
Thanks Heather! We highly recommend Numero 1 for sure 🙂 Lovely little place and an unbeatable location. We can't wait to do the hiking when we return!
I'm glad that your impressions of Puerto Rico were positive despite the hellish experience it took to get there! Kudos to expedia for sorting out the flight situation and making sure you were on it. That's really wonderful customer service on their part.
I'm glad you enjoyed Puerto Rico, and thankyou for reminding us that travel is about the good AND the bad days. Patience and a positive attitude is key.
Yea, it seems you had a difficult start for this trip, but at least you were rewarded at the end. You could have spent a little more time there, Puerto Rico is really beautiful. I've been in San Juan many years ago, but I still remember its gorgeous beaches and rain forrest.
Seemed very tough of getting at the start, but you people managed .
Sometimes such kinda off journey ends with a quite happy and surprising moments that we can never expect it off.
Thanks for the comment 🙂 Travel definitely has its ups and downs!
Hubby and I say this phrase any time we are traveling to the Caribbean….." Stay calm, heading into the island time zone! Have fun in Istanbul- you are visiting my favorite places !!!
We've yet to travel to Puerto Rico but would love to – it looks absolutely amazing and the food looks delicious! Travel days are hard enough as it is without added stress and setbacks but it's good it all got sorted out – will definitely be keeping Expedia's helpful role in mind when we make our future bookings – and having a hotel and view like that to wake up to is a great way to wash away the stress and frustration from the day before!
Having been an airline employee, I have to commend you… on several points: early check in (saves the day when there is a problem), calling Expedia for help (they are a great advocate), and most importantly, keeping your cool throughout. When we head out of country, we often use Autoeurope.com for our cars. Usually very good rates, but more importantly, they have been a great advocate for us when problems arise. Happy travels!
It's nice to hear how well Expedia worked for you. I use it whenever I can. Now I have another reason to do so.
What a bummer of a travel day! I don't know who you used for car rental, but rented a Jeep for 3 days from Payless and had a great experience. It was only $50 for 3 days 🙂 If you are looking for somewhere in the heart of Old San Juan we really liked Posada San Francisco hostel (private room).
And Vieques is a must when you return! It's such a fun, laid back island with spectacular beaches.

Phonological regularity, perceptual biases, and the role of phonotactics in speech error analysis
John Alderete, Paul Tupper
DOI: 10.1002/wcs.1466
Speech errors involving manipulations of sounds tend to be phonologically regular in the sense that they obey the phonotactic rules of well‐formed words. We review the empirical evidence for phonological regularity in prior research, including both categorical assessments of words and regularity at the granular level involving specific segments and contexts. Since the reporting of regularity is affected by human perceptual biases, we also document this regularity in a new data set of 2,228 sublexical errors that was collected using methods that are demonstrably less prone to bias. These facts validate the claim that sound errors are overwhelmingly regular, but the new evidence suggests speech errors admit more phonologically ill‐formed words than previously thought. Detailed facts of the phonological structure of errors, including this revised standard, are then related to model assumptions in contemporary theories of phonological encoding.

We're two full weeks into the college football season and new faces are starting to emerge all over the country. The Big Ten's quarterbacks are one area where new faces are emerging, and emerging big time, especially on our list of highest adjusted completion percentage.
About them being newcomers, take, for instance, three of the top five performers below are in either their first year at their respective universities or their first year on a college campus.
Blough entered the 2018 season with the highest adjusted completion percentage among returning quarterbacks and that has carried over into this season. On the year, he's fielded eight incomplete passes – four of which were dropped and another was thrown as he was being hit.
It's a one-game sample size and while we're still unsure about whether he'll play this weekend or not, Martinez sure did his best to keep Nebraska in the game against Colorado. He completed 15-of-20 passes and saw one pass dropped and another batted at the line.
The much-talked-about Michigan quarterback has completed 32-of-47 passes this season, his debut campaign in Ann Arbor after transferring from Ole Miss. Three of his passes have been dropped by receivers while an additional pass has been thrown away, one batted at the line and he's uncorked two passes as he was being hit, each of which not counting towards his adjusted completion percentage.
Ramsey is the first quarterback (and only one of two) in the Big Ten to not have a single pass dropped by his receivers this season. He's completed 36-of-48 passes while recording two throwaways and another pass batted at the line of scrimmage.
Haskins is the other conference quarterback without any dropped passes this season as he's completed 42-of-53 passes. He remains the only conference quarterback at this time to not have a single throwaway, drop, batted pass, spiked ball or a pass that was thrown as he was being hit, meaning his basic completion percentage is also his adjusted completion percentage.
Lewerke finds himself planted here at No. 6, having thrown the most pass attempts among conference quarterbacks this season. His 78.6 percent adjusted completion percentage comes on the heels of five dropped balls, another pass was thrown away and one was batted at the line.
Thorson has been an accurate quarterback all four years in college, improving his adjusted completion percentage every year to a career-high 72.1 percent last season. He's on pace to break that career-high as he's completed 39-of-65 attempts with six dropped passes and another three throwaways to his name this season.
The Penn State signal-caller has been subjected to the second-worst drop luck in the conference, behind Blough. McSorley has had 12.5 percent of his pass attempts dropped by his intended targets (eight total) while he's also thrown away a league-high five passes this season.
Hornibrook, currently the conference's highest-graded passer, isn't quite the poster boy for completion percentage this season. When you break it down by adjusted completion percentage, however, the numbers look a bit better. Of his 18 incomplete passes this season, Hornibrook hasn't been charged with seven of them, having three dropped, one throwaway and another three spiked passes not count towards him.
The son of NFL great Trent Green, TJ has seen spot duty for the Wildcats this season but by virtue of his 29 pass attempts, makes the cut off here. He's connected on just 16-of-29 passes yet has been subjected to three dropped balls and had another throwaway.


Regardless of the politics around ZRX CoinBase listing, ADA could possible bottom up despite yesterday's losses. Overly, we maintain a bullish stand now that there has been a strong correction from 2017 highs with bears threatening to dip below ADA's all-time-lows at 6 cents.
As I type this, ZRX, an ERC-20 token of The Ox protocol is live at CoinBase. Well, the results are obvious and have been the source of anger, postulation and criticism moments after CoinBase availed ZRX for their US customers. While some of these criticisms may be valid and perhaps even be the basis of a wider investigation many should realize that the $8 billion US exchange does list coins at their own discretion. We can even argue that CoinBase is just like any other for profit exchange. It's only that it happens to be popular, hack free and has the trust of the community.
While ZRX is the first ERC-20 token and one of the five coins/tokens CoinBase was exploring, the fact that Cardano and three other coins were left out made no sense for many. Though Cardano doesn't meet some of the platform's digital framework because of its centralization—IOHK does all the mining and has no working prototype, Charles Hoskinson and the team behind Cardano are working overtime to make this project a reality.
Milestones have been hit and Project Shelly is set for Q1 2019. Unless there is project acceleration, we don't expect Cardano to be fully operational in months. However, it's no secret that once it launches it will definitely clip some market share from Ethereum and EOS.
Technically, Cardano (ADA) is in consolidation and safe the occasional pumps and resistance around the 10 cents to 12 cents region, our previous Cardano price analysis is valid. This is so because not only are prices ranging inside week ending Sep 23 high lows but Oct 15 bulls could affirm the presence of buyers who have so far been successful in rejecting lower lows.
If anything, risk-averse traders should hold a neutral stand only taking longs once there are strong gains above 12 cents. Thereafter, they can begin packing on dips with first targets at 20 cents. Conversely, any break below 6 cents—the new ADA all-time-low open doors for new lows. When that happens, we recommend selling on all pullbacks with stops at around 10 cents. Thereafter we can let the trade run.
ADA is down roughly five percent in the last day but still trading below the minor resistance trend line. Obviously, it is a liquidating line preventing gains above 9.5 cents.
Because of this, it's likely that our last Cardano trade plan could materialize today or over the week. However, that is subject to gains above 9.5 cents. What traders need to see are strong thrusts triggering buyers in line with Oct 15 trend definition. Remember, gains above 12 cents automatically means ADA is bottoming up and bulls are in charge.


Brompton Library Graphic Novel Reading Group – Assemble!
On Thursday 3rd July Brompton Library hosted its first ever Graphic Novels reading group. We were discussing the frankly crazy yet genius fantasy graphic novel Saga (Volume 1) by Brian K Vaughan. The heat of the day was tempered by the special occasion refreshments and good company, some of whom we knew, along with some surprise visitors from elsewhere who shared our enthusiasm for the art form.
It was easy for the flow of conversation to get started as we laughed about the very adult themes in the book and the funny content, as well as a collective admiration for the artwork and storytelling within, along with our own personal stories of discovering the joys of graphic novels.
In the end it was all good fun and the feeling of something more regular and established was begun, with us looking forward to the next event – which is today, Thursday 6th August.
If you're interested please come along! Don't be shy. We will be discussing Chew by John Layman.
This was a bumper week for Brompton's toddlers! As Katie (our Rhyme Time queen) had been laid low with a chest infection, on Monday we drafted in a support act in the shape of Daniel from Chelsea who gave us an "unplugged" Electric Babyland session backed up by Ashraf on tambourine and David on tablas – a new experience for both of them – and the kids (and the adults) loved it.
On Wednesday Monkey Music, well known in the borough, were kind enough to give us a free session and they took the children on a musical journey ending up under the sea. With their vast array of props and instruments for shaking, rattling and rolling on their tummies, again the kids had a very different and hugely enjoyable time.
On Thursday we were back to our own in-house Baby Rhyme Time with Elisabeth leading the singing. After two sessions of songs and movements that had been different and new the children enjoyed the familiarity of their old favourites.
And now back to our regularly scheduled Rhyme Time!
Adult library users sometimes ask why we do events for toddlers that are so noisy and disturb the peace, but we all know that this type of stimulation is enormously beneficial to their brain function at such a formative age. They may also associate libraries with places where nice things happen. Long may it last!
We were very happy to host Faith and Mary from Healthier Life 4 You last week for a feelgood session of African Dance. We knew we were in for a good time as feedback from other sessions at North Kensington and Kensington Central libraries had been very positive.
Faith and Mary deliver a gentle workout – you'd hardly know you're exercising as you can't help moving to the rhythm of the African music. The audience was on the young side and were a bit unsure to start with, but by the end – and with the help of their parents and carers – they were showing me their moves on the way out!
Highly recommended and we hope to see them again soon.
Free Comic Book Day in Kensington & Chelsea Libraries!
Celebrate and discover the amazing world of comics on Free Comic Book Day!
Taking place annually on the first Saturday in May, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialist shops around the world give away comic books – and this year, for this first time, we are very pleased to have some free comics from Forbidden Planet to give away at some of our libraries.
Participating libraries will have a poster advertising they are taking part. It's first come, first served, so if you are an avid comic fan, visit one of the participating libraries – Brompton, Kensington Central or North Kensington Library – on Saturday 2 May to pick up your special free copy.
Free Comic Book Day 2015: DC Comics Divergence available at Brompton, Kensington Central and North Kensington libraries.
A first look at upcoming storylines, featuring three 8-page previews for the June releases of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman, as well as Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok's launch of the "Darkseid War" within Justice League featuring the biggest villains in the DCU – Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor, and Gene Luen Yang's DC Comics debut with celebrated artist John Romita, Jr on Superman.
If you've suggestions for future stock, we'd love to hear your views – contact Customer Services Assistant David Bushell at Brompton Library. and Happy Free Comic Book Day!
Katie Collis, Brompton Library, writes: Here at Brompton Library we thought it would be fitting to celebrate the life of Sir Terry Pratchett, whose books were loved by millions of people all over the world.
I asked the staff at Brompton which books they particularly liked and, not surprisingly, I had very different responses.
Christian: "As a kid I loved comedy shows on TV, everything from Fry and Laurie to Red Dwarf and The Detectives but when it came to reading, I was only interested in dark horror books by Stephen King and James Herbert or science fiction comics. Terry Pratchett changed all of that for me.

Queens Personal Injury Attorneys| Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman, P.C.
The Lipsig Law Firm was founded in 1989 by Harry H. Lipsig, a highly-regarded personal injury attorney who was well-known throughout New York City and the five boroughs. Often referred to as "The King of Torts", Attorney Lipsig was described by the New York times as an attorney who "talked juries out of millions" New York Magazine called him "the toughest, most successful personal injury specialist in the country." During his prolific legal career, Attorney Lipsig secured hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients, setting new legal standards and expanding local law. Attorney Lipsig dedicated a large portion of his life to advocating for accident victims and obtaining proper compensation for their injuries. That legacy is the foundation of the firm's work today.
Personal injury law protects those who have sustained injury in an accident that was caused by someone else's negligence. Proving legal negligence is at the core of every personal injury lawsuit. But demonstrating that another person's reckless, irresponsible behavior caused or contributed to your accident is not always easy or straightforward. The opposing party will refute your claim and, in many cases, argue that you are at least somewhat responsible for the accident. Our Queens personal injury attorneys are familiar with this tactic, so we thoroughly and strategically prepare for this, successfully securing favorable outcomes for our clients.
Heavy equipment accidents, including forklift accidents, scaffolding accidents, ladder accidents, etc.
If you have been in an accident and your injury was partly or fully caused by another individual, you may have the basis for a personal injury claim.
Every state has time limits for filing lawsuits and other civil actions, known as the "statute of limitations". New York's statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is three years from the date the injury occurred. This is a strict deadline; if you fail to bring a lawsuit before the three-year deadline, the opposing party can file a motion to dismiss the case. If the judge dismisses your case, you have lost your opportunity to recover any compensation for the injuries you sustained.
The compassionate legal team at Lipsig, Shapey, Manus & Moverman, P.C., are dedicated to protecting the rights of personal injury victims and families, working tirelessly on your behalf to recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries. We work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing until we successfully win your case. Before you accept a meager settlement, or nothing at all, contact our office. Our accident attorneys are staunch legal advocates who are available to meet with you at no charge to discuss your case, answer your questions, and address your concerns. All consultations are completely confidential. Call our office at 212-285-3300 or contact us online to schedule an appointment. We work with clients throughout the five New York City boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, Queens, Staten Island, The Bronx - and surrounding areas.

Thank you for visiting our web-site! We are delighted that you have taken a moment "to stop in." Though I do not know what prompted you to visit us, I recognize that we are both fellow human beings who are traveling along life's pathway-a pathway that began at birth and that will some day end in death. During that brief journey of ours, we are all in pursuit of happiness. Our constitution even states that every citizen of this country has the inalienable right to pursue happiness.
We believe that the Bible, the Word of the living God, shows us the only pathway in which such happiness may be found. This is expressed beautifully in the words of Psalm 146:5: "Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; whose hope is in the Lord his God."
Every human being yearns for happiness. Most of us begin each year by wishing each other a happy new year. But reality quickly sets in, and the very happiness we seek so often eludes us.
Why is this so? Happiness is that state of mind which results from our perception of the happenings in our lives. Consequently, our state of being happy or unhappy is frequently contingent upon what does or does not happen. Hence our lives are so often a roller-coaster ride between mountain peaks of happiness and valleys of unhappiness. This is particularly true when our happiness revolves around possessions and pleasure-the two things that so many pursue with abandon.
The happiness spoken of in Psalm 146, however, does not depend on what happens! Rather, it is rooted in the knowledge that the God of Jacob is my Helper, and that this God is my God. When a person knows that God is his God, he can deal with unpleasant and painful circumstances. One can then even be happy when there is every reason to be unhappy.
Dear friend, are you acquainted with this happiness? Do you know the God of Jacob, the God of sinners--the God who is very gracious and pardons iniquity? It is this God of Jacob who so loved a world of fallen sinners that He gave His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, that whosoever would believe on Him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
By believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, the God of Jacob can also be your God. Only through this precious Savior can you have a personal relationship with God, for only by believing on Jesus Christ can your sins be forgiven and can you be reconciled with God. And to know that is the real essence of true happiness!
Dear friend, you were created to find your happiness in God. Therefore, as a guilty, needy sinner, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. And then, and only then, shall you be happy. If you are in pursuit of such happiness, I encourage you to explore our web-site, and to worship with us on the Lord's Day.
