Pokemon Go and the Mainstream Acceptance of Nerd Culture
July 10, 2016 Nerd Culture Pokemon Pokemon Go
Though I'm getting to the age where some of my elementary school memories are (thankfully) starting to fade, one of them sticks out as clear as day. It just took the release of Pokemon Go to fully appreciate it.
In the sixth grade, I made it to my school's finals of the spelling bee. The top three finishers would move on to our county spelling bee, then if they did well enough, they could eventually move onto the regional, state, and national spelling bee. Sixth grade was the last year you could participate in the spelling bee in my school, so the fact that I made it to the finals was a bit exciting. I was determined to win the school spelling bee — just as I had the geography bee a few months earlier — and qualify for the next round.
As the spelling bee was about to start, our principal was giving introductions and explaining the rules of the contest. While reading through the normal list of rules that we heard in each of our classrooms, he paused to insert an additional rule of his own.
"Just so everyone's aware, I'm pleased to announce that none of the words in today's spelling bee will be Pokemon names."
A cheer went up from the crowd of mostly sixth graders that were watching us compete. While many of the students on stage with me clapped loudly, I sat there with a bewildered look on my face. I knew there wasn't going to be any Pokemon names in the spelling bee…but why call that out? Why was that really necessary?
On more than one occasion in elementary and middle school, I was bullied. I was a straight A student who was the shortest kid in my grade (guy or girl) up until the eighth grade. I wore hand me down clothes that didn't fit right or looked like they were out of the 70s and 80s — generally because they were. I shared a house with my own family/stepfamily, as well as another family whose three kids were routinely getting suspended from school. I looked for a way out to escape my day-to-day reality.
From a very young age, that way out became video games. By the time 1998 rolled around, I, like many other kids my age, had gotten caught up in the Pokemon hype wave. I got a green Game Boy Pocket for Christmas the year prior with Monopoly[1] and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball as a gift. While those games were fun, the allure of a world filled with magical creatures caught my imagination.
My dad ended up getting me Pokemon Blue in early 1999 and I played the game until the cartridge broke. My end game team was almost always the same — Blastoise, Hypno, Dewgong, Fearow, Victreebel, and Jynx — but I loved playing through it no matter what. The Pokemon games really did bring me that escape I was looking for from my childhood.
Back on the spelling bee stage, I recall being flustered and upset that the principal had taken the time to specifically call out the game that I loved playing in an effort to get a cheap cheer. There was no need to do that. I realize that now and I realized it as a kid. Being the first person in the alphabet in the finals, I received the first word, ceiling, and immediately misspelled it. I was eliminated, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get home and play the game that the majority of kids felt the need to cheer against.
Fast forward to 2016, when the augmented reality game, Pokemon Go released. I downloaded the game within minutes of its US release last week, leading to my wife and I running around outside our apartment complex trying to catch our starters. I was surprised the next two days at work to see just how many people were playing Pokemon Go. People who rarely ever played video games had picked up the game and started playing just because it was the cool, hip thing to do.
It was a strange moment for me to see. 18 years earlier, a room full of my peers had cheered that Pokemon would be no where near a spelling bee. Now, there are strangers who would otherwise have nothing in common coming together to play a later, more technologically advanced, version of that same game.
As my wife and I were walking through the park on Saturday trying to catch Pokemon, a kid — probably about sixth grade or so — and his mom were walking their dogs. The kid saw us playing Pokemon and began talking to his mom.
Kid: Why are so many adults playing Pokemon?
Mom: It's the cool thing to do right now. I'm glad you're mature enough to not need video games to have fun.
Ignoring for a moment that the mom obviously doesn't understand the purpose to video games[2], with her comment I began to realize that the very thing that some kids mocked when I was younger had become cool. I'm betting some of those same kids who laughed in the auditorium at the spelling bee were playing Pokemon Go this weekend.
Why wouldn't they? It's the cool thing to do. We want nothing more than to be accepted in life. It just happens to be the time where nerd culture has become an accepted part of life. In fact it's becoming so much that way that you'd be hard pressed to find a component of nerd culture that hasn't been somewhat integrated into mainstream American culture.
I'd like to think this is a sign that we're continuing to progress as a society to a point where everyone, regardless of their likes, beliefs, sexuality, religion, or whatever, is accepted the same way. It's likely not. I know that. But in the interim — until that moment where I'm disproven in my belief — I'm going to continue walking towards lure modules and interacting with strangers, and bonding over sharing our Pokemon adventures.
So, I'm not into Pokemon. Didn't care as a kid, don't care now. But I've noticed the same thing regarding general nerdiness. What bugs me about the prominence of nerd culture though is that there's also this tendency to call nerdy things non-nerdy now. Like, I love to read and watch Dr Who and I know I'm a nerd. I wear the term proudly. But my mom still acts like I'm berating myself when I say that and tells me "No, it's great that you like to read! It's not nerdy." Um, yes it is great and yes it is also nerdy. I still like John Green's definition of nerdy, which is that it revolves around how much you like things (rather than specific things you like). With "nerd" coming up in today's culture so much it feels too hipster- like people are being nerdy ironically instead of actually because they love it (ie you doing the Pokemon things versus the kids who didn't play it the first go round).
Also, that mom sounds terrible. I admit I don't like video games either, but my husband loves them and I've come to realize that it holds meaning for him. Yes, it can be annoying when he completely zones out but everyone has a hobby (playing Xbox all day is no more immature than marathoning the Kardashians).
I think for me I noticed this phenomenon more because how much of an escape Pokemon was for me as a child. The only other things that I was into as a kid that much — pro wrestling and running — weren't exactly considered nerdy for me to feel some level of backlash toward. While I don't think that Pokemon is the first time in nerd culture something like this has happened, I do think it's the most pronounced time.
And yes, that mom was a terrible person.

How to cure cough? Home remedies for cough?
Gargling can remove irritants in the throat and thins the mucus. If you feel soreness in your throat, then gargle your throat with some warm saltwater. This will helps to drain excess fluid from inflamed areas in the throat.
Avoid cold drinks and drink warm water which will helps you in soothing the inflammation in the throat. People love warm soup rather than just hot water. So have drinks at your wish but remember, it should be healthy and warm.
Vaporubs give fast relief to cough and it is found that even children, above 2 years, sleeps better after applying vaporubs. The ingredients of this magic rub are menthol, camphor and eucalyptus and this is named as a magic rub because the exact reason for how this work remains as a mystery.

There is a chance for the mucus to drip back from the nose into the throat, which results in severe cough. This situation is worse at night when the body posture is conducive for such dripping. Sleeping with the head at an elevated position helps to reduce such drainage. It is found that in many people, this helped to reduce coughing at night and improves sleep.
There are many ways in which we can use turmeric as a solution to the cough.Here are some: Drinking hot milk with turmeric is a traditional remedy for cough, which is shown to even have antibacterial effects.

Mix in honey and lemon juice to a glass of warm water. drink this thrice a day for relief from cough.
Boil one cup of water by adding fine pieces of ginger into it. Keep the liquid boiling till the volume reduces to half the original quantity. Strain the liquid and add one teaspoon of honey and drink when warm to give a soothing effect against cough.

Crush about 5 cloves of peeled garlic and sauté in a teaspoon of ghee and consume it warmly for relief from cough and cold.
Boil a few corns of pepper with water for about 20 minutes. Mix it with a little cumin and jaggery. Drink the solution. Keep a small bit of jaggery in the middle of a quarter part of an onion and chew on this for expelling sputum. Now you will feel relieved from cough and congestion because sputum build up can lead to a feeling of congestion in the chest and the entire respiratory tract.
Grapes are good for your lung. They are natural expectorant and takes off the phlegm from your lung. Prepare a juice from these fruits and add honey to it. Drink this juice before going to bed or when you are disturbed with coughing.
The apple cider vinegar is good for any type of cough. Take 2 tablespoon of this vinegar and mix it with 10 ounces of water. Drink this solution for relief from cough. You can warm the solution and add a teaspoon of honey to get faster results. Drink it for few times in a day and see the way it takes care of your cough.
Mix aloe juice and honey and drink it for getting relief during cough and cold. You can drink the aloe juice without adding honey. Make sure the juice is warm for right effect.

You can crush the peppercorn and add some salt granules with it. Throw in a few seeds of cumin. Crush the whole mixture and take this for relief from cough. This is for adults as it is dry and not fit for children.
Take a few basil or tulsi leaves and wash them Crush the leaves and take the juice out. Mix this juice with honey and warm it in a spoon. Give it to any children for a few times in a day and see the change in condition. They get relief from cough faster with this homemade remedy.

Acxiom releases MarketEdge-X
Today marked the formal launch of Acxiom's marketing database solution, MarketEdge-X. MarketEdge-X is meant to offer midsize businesses customer data insight and provide the information, segmentation and analysis a company needs for customer acquisition, retention and expansion.
"[MarketEdge-X] is an integrated multichannel marketing platform and it consists of marketing tools for analytics, campaign management, e-mail marketing, and reporting," says Steve Merritt, client executive unit leader of MarketEdge-X.
Acxiom has been modifying MarketEdge-X since it was made available to a small segment of companies last year under the name Acxiom Customer Information Center-X. One of the eight companies to use the initial version of the database solution is midsize life insurance agency Savings Bank Life Insurance of Massachusetts (SBLI), and so far, results and feedback have been positive.
"We have built with Acxiom a database with all of our existing customers, 8 million prospect names and responders," says VP/director of marketing for SBLI, Rose Cahill. "[MarketEdge-X] now gives me the opportunity to slice and dice and do really deep segmentation of our customer files. We've never had that capability before."
Cahill noted that staying in touch with a large customer base has been a challenge for SBLI in the past. "We actually did very little with our current customers because it wasn't easy for us to access the data and we really didn't know much about them," he said.

Ed Martin Named President of the Broadcast Television Journalists Association
Press Release of the Week
Los Angeles-- The Broadcast Television Journalists Association (BTJA) announced today the appointment of Ed Martin as its new President. Martin succeeds Joey Berlin, who has served as President since the organization was founded a decade ago. Martin was selected by the BTJA Executive Committee.


PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa never promised the nation that cash shortages will end in his first 100 days in office after Operation Restore Legacy, Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi told Parliament yesterday.
Ziyambi had been asked by Glen View North MP, Fani Munengami (MDC-T) to explain why Zimbabweans were still sleeping in bank queues, yet the new government had promised to deliver changes within 100 days in office after removing President Robert Mugabe from office.
"The President even promised that we will see him at bank queues, but we are yet to see him queuing and receiving his coins, and 100 days has since elapsed without him solving the cash crisis," he said.
He said Mnangagwa only promised that there will be a new culture of implementation of government projects and accountability.
Ziyambi then told MPs that the issue will best be referred to Finance minister Patrick Chinamasa.
But opposition MPs refused to let go of the issue with Munengami, saying the new dispensation had now clocked around 300 days without delivering on their promises.
"We have RTGS money and United States dollars in circulation and there are $500 million US notes and about $1,5 billion money exchanged through RTGS. We have several projects to be initiated that are going to come into the country and when foreign currency starts flowing there will be a balance between cash and RTGS money," Ziyambi said.
MPs were not impressed and said Chinamasa should attend Parliament to respond to the issue of failure to resolve the cash shortages.
Norton MP, Temba Mliswa (independent) said if the government was clueless about solving the cash crisis, they must let the nation know.
"Chinamasa has not been in this House for two months, yet the issue of cash shortages is critical. If the government cannot solve the cash crisis, then they have failed," he said.
Mliswa then directed his questions to Health minister David Parirenyatwa, asking him to explain if the Zanu-PF government had built 2 000 clinics, as was espoused in their 2013 elections party manifesto.
Parirenyatwa promised to give a breakdown of the clinics built.
But MDC-T legislator, Ruth Labode said in the breakdown, Parirenyatwa should refrain from including those clinics that were built during the colonial era.
Meanwhile, MPs yesterday began to put pressure over payment of their outstanding allowances, as their parliamentary terms are nearing to an end.

Verdict of Medical Misadventure in Mayo Man's Death
The jury at the inquest into the death of an 82-year-old man at Mayo General Hospital has returned a verdict of medical misadventure.
Darby King sustained minor injuries in a traffic collision on 24 April 2014 but his condition deteriorated in the days that followed and he died in hospital on 27 April. The inquest into his death earlier heard that an "unacceptable delay" in administering blood-clotting medication seriously compromised his chances of survival. Consultant neurosurgeon Donald A Campbell was giving evidence after he was instructed by Mr King's family to compile a report on the treatment provided to him. Mr King had a history of Transient Ischaemic Attacks (TIAs or mini-stokes) and was on blood-thinning medication at the time of the crash. The inquest has heard that Mr King appeared to have had a stroke prior to the traffic collision that led to his admission to hospital. He initially presented with minor cuts to his face but a CT scan showed evidence of haemorrhaging around his brain.
Castlebar Coroner's Court has heard that neurosurgeons in Beaumont Hospital provided advice to doctors in Mayo to administer Vitamin K to counter the effect of blood thinning medication. They subsequently advised that an anti-clotting drug, Octaplex, be provided. The inquest heard this was not administered for a number of hours after the recommendation was given. Mr Campbell said there was no excuse for not following set guidelines which were in place in hospitals across Ireland and Britain for the timely management of patients presenting with symptoms like those of Mr King.
He said if anti-coagulants been administered sooner, the prospect of Mr King being alive would have been significantly enhanced. Dr Campbell said Octaplex was a very effective drug but it had not been provided until more than ten hours after Mr King was brought to hospital. The jury was shown images from the two CT scans carried out on Mr King. These show how the haemorrhaging increased substantially. Mr Campbell said this demonstrated that doctors at Mayo General Hospital "had missed the boat".
Earlier, a consultant neurosurgeon at Beaumont Hospital, Darach Crimmins, said that given the increase in the bleeding revealed by the second CT scan on Mr King, it was very unlikely he would have ever made a full recovery. He said there was a very high mortality rate for patients with bleeds of this nature. A number of nurses at Mayo General Hospital earlier outlined serious staffing issues at the emergency department. In depositions at the inquest in Castlebar today, several staff described how they have had patient safety concerns because of a shortage of nurses.
The inquest into the death of Mr King heard how "grave concerns" were expressed in correspondence with hospital management about the ability to maintain safety with depleted staffing levels on the week he was admitted to hospital last year. It also heard claims from Mr King's daughter that he was not treated with care or dignity during his time in the emergency department. The court heard how Clinical Nursing Manager Jennifer Quinn sent emails on 22 and 24 April outlining the impact sick leave and maternity leave had on the provision of care in the emergency department. Her colleague, Geraldine Flannery, told the inquest the emergency department was extremely busy on the day Mr King was admitted, with over 100 patients being seen.
She said the staff-to-patient ratio was not satisfactory for that number of cases. Mr King was driving an Opel Vectra that veered into a stationary Isuzu Trooper at Belcarra in Co Mayo, both vehicles were damaged and Mr King sustained a small laceration to his forehead and cuts to his face. An ambulance was called to bring him to Mayo General Hospital. Emergency department staff nurse Maureen Barrett told the inquest Mr King did not appear to be confused when she spoke to him. He denied loss of consciousness and said he had no neck or back pain. He told Ms Barrett he had been blinded by the sun in the moments prior to the collision and that this is what had caused him to crash. Mr King said he had no chest pain or dizziness prior to the incident. He was transferred to the Medical Assessment Unit but his condition deteriorated and subsequently was sent for a CT scan of his brain. After Mr King's condition worsened, a CT scan was carried out, which showed a number of areas of haemorrhage around the brain. No fractures were identified.
The inquest heard that Mr King was on blood thinning medication and the view of experts at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin had been sought about his treatment when the scan was completed.
His daughter, Caroline Murnane, told the inquest that she was worried that her father was agitated and restless in the hours after his admission to the emergency department, adding he was complaining of bad headaches and "seemed very unwell". Ms Murnane sought pain relief for her father a number of times. She told the Coroner's Court that he was frightened and in a vulnerable state. She said she felt he was not treated with care, respect or dignity during his time in the ED. She also questioned whether the correct steps had been taken in her father's case management, given that he was on warfarin therapy. Speaking afterwards, Ms Murnane said she felt the jury had given her father a voice. She said it was vitally important to the family that this had happened because they felt his voice had not been heard during his time in hospital.

Man survives unprotected tumble over Niagara Falls
Published Wednesday, March 11, 2009 8:46PM EDT
A man has survived after going over Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls, Ont., one of only a handful of people ever to survive such an experience, says the chief of the Niagara Parks Police.
Chief Douglas Kane told ctvtoronto.ca on Wednesday that he thinks this is only the third time this has happened, with the last incident coming almost six years ago.
Fatalities are much more common, he said.
The drama began at 2:11 p.m. when a witness saw a man, believed to be in his mid-30s, crawl over a wall and enter the rapids of the Niagara River. He went over the world-famous Horseshoe Falls, about a 56-metre drop, and ended up in the river below.
"I was on the very edge of the Canadian side ... and he was right next to shore, like a metre away from it, and he just went overboard. He wasn't resisting it at all," said eyewitness Konstantine Shatalov, who added the whole sequence of events didn't seem real to him.
When the man emerged below the falls, the force of the current had pulled off his clothes.
Oshawa resident Phillip Richmond, who was returning from a trip to Florida, took some photos and passed them along to CTV Toronto.
"He was swimming and he kept swimming away from shore, so it looked like he was either being a daredevil or there was some other problem," he said.
Rescue teams involving several Niagara emergency agencies went to attempt to extract the man, "but he swam away further into the river," Kane said.
"He was floating in a cyclic kind of rotation," which meant he went downstream, but then circled around and stayed out of rescue range, Chief Lee Smith of the Niagara Falls Fire Department told reporters. "But he didn't appear to want our help."
Smith added this observation: "We're amazed he stayed up as long as he did."
A private helicopter used the air washing down from its main rotor to push the man closer to shore. A Niagara Falls firefighter, tethered to shore and wearing a dry suit, went into the river and extracted the man, Kane said.
The individual was apparently feeling the effects of hypothermia after being immersed in the river's cold waters for almost 45 minutes. He was semi-conscious when rescuers pulled him from the river about 300 metres down from the falls, he said.
Paramedics took the man to Greater Niagara Hospital for treatment, he said.
The man also suffered a head injury.
Kane said officers will attempt to identify and interview the man once he's been treated and recovers from his experience.

2018 sees a continuation of last year's trend – millennials setting their sights on African travel. Over the years, there has been a shift in the age demographic of travellers coming to Southern Africa – an incentivised travel destination. According to David Frost – CEO of the Southern Africa Tourism Services Association, younger generations are becoming an increasingly large market for the tourism industry with 46% of international arrivals to South Africa in 2017 between the ages of 18 and 35.
Apart from the search for 'authentic experiences', adventure activities, good weather and local hospitality – millennials are taking a break from the latest technology, moving away from typical 'tourist' destinations and choosing instead to venture in to unknown territories; deeper in to the wilderness.
That being said, more establishments are catering for and accommodating tech-savvy millennials. Wi-Fi remains a priority for lodges catering to this market. Millennial travellers are interested in following and being connected to the cities and lodges they will be visiting both during and after their trip. Another incentive for millennial travellers is how 'Instagrammable' the holiday is. Youth see the world through pixels and filters. Having every breath-taking experience littering the feeds of envious friends and family, Africa – filtered or not – makes for a picturesque experience.
*There is a huge gap in the industry for youth safaris. For a long time, African safaris have been recognised as a luxury experience, out of reach to the young traveller. More young hearts and minds are seeking out a night under the expansive starlit sky while wildlife roam nearby – close enough for you to hear them.
*More than half of our "foodies" are millennials – becoming increasingly conscious of what they put into their bodies, and where it comes from. Mozambique is the place to be for an experience that will satisfy taste buds, with fresh "farm-to-fork" cuisine brought to you from local markets and roadside stalls. Tuck into Tiger prawns, fresh fish and steaming hot Portuguese rolls with stunning views.
*Experience is everything and young travellers want complete cultural immersion. South Africa has a wonderful mix of boutique hotels and apartment rentals in its inner-city districts. Here travellers can unpack everything from street art to street food. A little beyond the city, cuisine and culture remain equally important in the winelands. Wine-tasting tours have become increasingly popular among the millennial travellers as well as an interest in "Instagrammable" agro-tourism in the countryside.
*We do not realise the extent of community work and international volunteers in South Africa, with almost half of the youth travellers coming here partaking in some sort of community initiative or volunteer work.
*Education is also another incentive for youth trips with guests showing interest in astronomy, ecology and interactive dynamics. There will always be a dichotomy between luxury travel, conservation issues and cultural diversity.
*Older travellers have confirmed that they are more likely to choose accommodation that is eco-friendly. Millennial travellers have caught on to this trend of sustainable travel, where a conscious effort is made to avoid contributing to the decline of natural environments (Link to top five eco-lodges post).
*Youth are choosing to spend their money on experiences rather than material things. Africa, especially Southern Africa, offers experiences that are culturally rich and forcing them to step out of their comfort zones to embrace authentic destinations culturally-relevant sightseeing and diverse cuisines. It is found that millennials are constantly trying to integrate themselves into as many aspects of local life hoping to become a more culturally enriched human.
* Wanting to take everything in; cramming as many places and activities in to their experience as possible, Africa is a millennials travel-sanctuary – offering them opportunities to see a variety of different sights.
*One of the biggest trends in millennial travel is the desire to visit off-the-beaten-track locations. They no longer want to sit back and relax on their vacation or visit typically popular attractions that have become overcrowded and 'over-touristic'.
*For your next millennial adventure trip, head to Zimbabwe. The natural wonder of Victoria Falls will be sure to activate their adventure-seeking nature. The country offers active adventures and unique experiences, which is exactly what the millennial traveller is looking for.
Millennial travel creates memories and invites individuals to reach further in to their own life, changing mind-sets forever. Experience tastes, sights, smells and ambience of authentic African luxury with Iconic Africa. Find out more here.

Box Office India: Bajrangi Bhaijaan 4th Wednesday Collections
Anu Chanchal
Even in its fourth week, Salman Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan manages to rake in some money with ease. The film earned Rs. 1.05 crore on Monday, Rs. 1 crore on Tuesday and approximately Rs. 1 crore (actual figures awaited) on Wednesday. Collectively, the film has made around Rs. 313.05 at the domestic box office.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is Salman Khan's first film ever to enter the coveted 300 crore club! Also, before this, only Aamir Khan's PK managed the wonderful feat.
The highest grosser of the year, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is doing tremendous business in the international markets also. Salman's onscreen magic, Kabir's directorial skills and Harshaali Malhotra's charming ways have brought the film this far!
Kareena Kapoor Khan shares a great chemistry with Salman in the flick; the two certainly brighten up the silver screen with their radiant togetherness. At the same time, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, an actor of immense potential, too has added wonders to the screenplay with his commendable presence. He looks convincing as a reporter with a heart of gold.
About Me: For me, movies are magical and should be watched just for fun. Having said that, I can be a film critic on some days. I write for passion and profession (cool, no?). I secretly wish a movie be made on my fictional bestseller book that I'm yet to write (okay, no more a secret). Shopping and partying are always on my mind. And yes, I'm a hands-on mom, and one thing I'm a little more passionate about is babysitting my son. Any one can contact me at [email protected]

Bible > Commentaries > Ezekiel 1:27
◄ Ezekiel 1:27 ►
And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(27) As the colour of amber.—See on the same expression Ezekiel 1:4. Literally, as an eye of bright metal. The rest of the verse is simply an attempt, by various repetitions, to convey an idea of the exceeding brightness and glory of the vision, yet also with the notions of purity and holiness, of power and activity always associated with fire. (Comp. Exodus 24:17; Daniel 7:9; Revelation 1:14-15; Revelation 4:5.)
1:26-28 The eternal Son, the second Person in the Trinity, who afterwards took the human nature, is here denoted. The first thing observed was a throne. It is a throne of glory, a throne of grace, a throne of triumph, a throne of government, a throne of judgment. It is good news to men, that the throne above the firmament is filled with One who appears, even there, in the likeness of a man. The throne is surrounded with a rainbow, the well-known emblem of the covenant, representing God's mercy and covenanted love to his people. The fire of God's wrath was breaking out against Jerusalem, but bounds should be set to it; he would look upon the bow, and remember the covenant. All the prophet saw was only to prepare him for what he was to hear. When he fell on his face, he heard the voice of One that spake. God delights to teach the humble. Let sinners, then, humble themselves before him. And let believers think upon his glory, that they may be gradually changed into his image by the Spirit of the Lord.
Sapphire - Clear heavenly blue.
The appearance of a man - Deeply significant is the form of this manifestation. Here is no angel conveying God's message to man, but the glory of the Lord Himself. We recognize in this vision the prophetic annunciation of the Holy Incarnation. We are told little of the extent to which the human form was made evident to the prophet. For the vision was rather to the mind than to the bodily eye, and even inspired language was inadequate to convey to the hearer the glory which eye hath not seen or ear heard, and which only by special revelation it hath entered into the heart of man to conceive.
27. colour of amber—"the glitter of chasmal" [Fairbairn]. See on [1017]Eze 1:4; rather, "polished brass" [Henderson]. Messiah is described here as in Da 10:5, 6; Re 1:14, 15.
I saw as the colour of amber: see Ezekiel 1:4, and what is said there to this phrase. In this colour does Christ now appear against the rebellious Jews; he that would have been a Saviour to them, clot, bed with the garments of salvation, now puts on the garments of vengeance, and is clad with that zeal which is best, but not fully, expressed by such metaphors.
As the appearance of fire round about within it; of most intense degree; as that fire which is shut up in oven or furnace, so this was the appearance of a fire which had a house to it round about (as the Hebrew). The just indignation of Christ, and his glorious majesty, are hereby set forth to us also, which appear within the amber.
From the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire; as was his upward part, so the lower parts also, they appeared as fire. Provoked to wrath, and proceeding to judge, he comes in flames of fire taking vengeance, 2 Thessalonians 1:8.
And it had brightness round about: see Ezekiel 1:4, where the phrase is explained. Majesty, justice, and unstained holiness shine round about Christ, though he comes in greatest wrath against enemies.
And I saw as the colour of amber,.... That is, the man upon the throne looked like the colour of amber; of which See Gill on Ezekiel 1:4;
as the appearance of fire round about within it; which may denote the deity of Christ, or Christ as God, who is a consuming fire to his enemies; a fire enlightening and warming to his people; as a wall of fire protecting them; and as a pillar of fire guiding and directing them, as he did the Israelites in the wilderness; and who has such light and glory in him, as is incomprehensible to us; and therefore this fire appeared round about within, the colour of amber, and under his human nature, through which it broke forth:
from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire; it reached upwards and downwards, as well as all around him:
and it had brightness round about; the fire; which shone through the human nature, and was upon it, in virtue of its union to the Son of God; and through the Gospel, in which, as in a glass, the glory of the Lord is seen; and which will be brighter and brighter in the latter day; which may be signified by the appearance of his loins downward.
And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire {n} around within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness on all sides.
(n) By which was signified a terrible judgment toward the earth.
27. the colour of amber] the glance (lit. eye). See Ezekiel 1:4.
fire round about within it] This is the natural sense, but "round about" and "within it" seem to contradict one another. The rendering "fire that is enclosed round about," and therefore brighter by contrast with what surrounds it (Hitz.), expresses a thought more ingenious than probable, and assumes an unlikely construction. The clause is wanting in LXX.
it had brightness round about] Rather: and a brightness round about him, viz. him who sat on the throne (Ezekiel 1:28).
Verse 27. - As the colour of amber. The "amber" (see note on ver. 4) represents the purity and glory of the Divine nature - the truth that "God is light" in his eternal essence. The "fire" which, here as ever, represents the wrath of God against evil, is round about within it, i.e. is less absolutely identified with the Divine will, of which it is yet an almost constant manifestation. It is, in the language of the older logicians, an inseparable accident rather than part of its essential nature.
The four wheels beside the cherubim. - Ezekiel 1:15. And I saw the creatures, and, lo, there was a wheel upon the earth beside the creatures, towards their four fronts. Ezekiel 1:16. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the chrysolite; and all four had one kind of figure: and their appearance and their work was as if one wheel were within the other. Ezekiel 1:17. Towards their four sides they went when they moved: they turned not as they went. Ezekiel 1:18. And their felloes, they were high and terrible; and their felloes were full of eyes round about in all the four. Ezekiel 1:19. And when the creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them; and when the creatures raised themselves up from the earth, the wheels also raised themselves. Ezekiel 1:20. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went in the direction in which the spirit was to go; and the wheels raised themselves beside them: for the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels. Ezekiel 1:21. When the former moved, the latter moved also; when the former stood, the latter stood; and when the former raised themselves from the ground, the wheels raised themselves beside them: for the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels. - The words, "and I saw the creatures," prepare the way for the transition to the new object which presented itself in these creatures to the eye of the seer. By the side of these creatures upon the ground he sees a wheel, and that at the four fronts, or front faces of the creatures. The singular suffix in לארבּעת פּניו can neither be referred, with Rosenmller, to the chariot, which is not mentioned at all, nor, with Hitzig, to the preposition אצל, nor, with Hvernick, Maurer, and Kliefoth, to אופן, and so be understood as if every wheel looked towards four sides, because a second wheel was inserted in it at right angles. This meaning is not to be found in the words. The suffix refers ad sensum to חיּות (Ewald), or, to express it more correctly, to the figure of the cherubim with its four faces turned to the front, conceived as a unity - as one creature (החיּה, Ezekiel 1:22). Accordingly, we have so to represent the matter, that by the side of the four cherubim, namely, beside his front face, a wheel was to be seen upon the earth. Ezekiel then saw four wheels, one on each front of a cherub, and therefore immediately speaks in Ezekiel 1:16 of wheels (in the plural). In this verse מראה is adspectus, and מעשׂה "work;" i.e., both statements employing the term "construction," although in the first hemistich only the appearance, in the second only the construction, of the wheels is described. תּרשׁישׁ is a chrysolite of the ancients, the topaz of the moderns, - a stone having the lustre of gold. The construction of the wheels was as if one wheel were within a wheel, i.e., as if in the wheel a second were inserted at right angles, so that without being turned it could go towards all the four sides. גּבּיהן, in Ezekiel 1:18, stands absolutely. "As regards their felloes," they possessed height and terribleness-the latter because they were full of eyes all round. Hitzig arbitrarily understands גּבהּ of the upper sides; and יראה, after the Arabic, of the under side, or that which lies towards the back. The movement of the wheels completely followed the movement of the creatures (Ezekiel 1:19-21), because the spirit of the creature was in the wheels. החיּה, in Ezekiel 1:20 and Ezekiel 1:21, is not the "principle of life" (Hvernick), but the cherubic creatures conceived as a unity, as in Ezekiel 1:22, where the meaning is undoubted. The sense is: the wheels were, in their motion and rest, completely bound by the movements and rest of the creatures, because the spirit which ruled in them was also in the wheels, and regulated their going, standing, and rising upwards. By the רוּח the wheels are bound in one with the cherub-figures, but not by means of a chariot, to or upon which the cherubim were attached.

Check Out The Insides of 4949 Swiss at Mother's Day Home Tour
There appears to be some construction going on at 4949 Swiss Avenue, but the historic home remains boarded up.
Lee Hancock wrote an excellent long-form dissection of Mary Ellen Bendtsen's home, 4949 Swiss Avenue, after Mark McCay and Justin Burgess were willed the house under suspicious circumstances. While there have been some reports of construction going on at the "Grand Dame" of Swiss Avenue, the front is boarded up and the carriage house is still crumbling.
But it won't be that way for long, says Cameron Kinvig, who purchased 4949 Swiss and plans to restore the mansion that was once home to W.W. Caruth. In fact, all three floors of 4949 Swiss will be open to onlookers during this year's Swiss Avenue Mother's Day Home Tour on May 12 and 13.
"Many of the wall paintings from the ballroom (from Mattie Caruth's debutante ball) were able to be saved and will be shown in their original (pre-restoration) condition in the ballroom," Kinvig said via e-mail. "Docents will be on hand to discuss plans for the home's renovation, and will be able to share some of the fun tidbits I've discovered since purchasing the home."
After touring Swiss Avenue, if you want to watch the drama surrounding 4949 Swiss play out on the small screen, flip to the Discovery Channel's "Investigation Discovery" on May 12 when they re-air the special about the case.

I just wanted to give you all an update on the status of the higher current kits we are producing. We had hoped to have them ready by the end of the year, but some of the production steps have proven to take longer to prepare than we expected. The spring contacts and threaded terminals, which will use copper alloys, are going to be silver brazed and nickel coated, but these additional steps have added to the complexity for production on our end, meaning it's taking us just a bit longer to finalize production.
We are getting closer though, and the prototypes have been very promising so far. Early testing shows we are already into the double digits for amps per cell, but we won't have a final amp rating on the new caps for a few more weeks. We're continuing our testing and pushing the caps higher and higher to see how much current they can handle.
There will also be some new improvements in the physical cap design as well. A similar but redesigned shape is proving to allow much higher tolerances meaning cleaner and crisper edges, smoother interlocking, less struggling to align the dovetails and stronger caps that can stand up to a huge amount of abuse. We're also upgrading the polymer as well to makes the caps even stronger than ever!
We appreciate you all hanging in there – I know a lot of you are excited about the higher power kits we'll be debuting (based on the daily emails we're getting from enthusiastic battery builders). I'll be back here soon with some pictures and a more concrete release date for the new kits.
Happy Thanksgiving! Time to save $$$ on battery-building supplies!
Today is the day, V2.0 kits are finally available for pre-order!
Fantastic. I was contemplating buying a spot welder. I think I will wait. Your already into double digits so it looks like it is going well!!
Awesome work! Glad to see this kit coming along so well. I've been looking forward to a high current solution for a 72V pack I'm building. Any way we could possibly begin pre-orders for these high current kits?
That's good news! Hopefully the U.S. pre-orders are coming soon! The Vruzend kits are the final ingredients in my new e-trike build!
Last update was mid-March on the V2 High Current kits. Any updates?

"I wanted to congratulate you all on a particularly excellent culminating performance of Expression Sessions. I was in awe watching the interplay between our kids and their audience. What a wonderful growth experience for them! I was so pleased with the quality of the workshops and the deep connections you all made with the kids. The site was lucky to have Expression Sessions facilitate the year-long workshops with the kids that you did — we sincerely thank you for your fine work."
"Zoe came to our company and led an afternoon workshop with our team of 15. She guided us through a series of exercises that helped us get comfortable moving and feeling grounded, and related our ability to move with our ability to do great work. After her workshop, I could tell that the members of our team felt significantly closer to one another. it was awesome."
"Libby, Jen, Zoe, you have all been so amazing this year! The way you work with our students is truly a marvel to see and it all came together at the beautifully orchestrated event this past Friday!"


1. — should communicate clearly about hopes for what will happen during the volunteer's time. Messages that need to be reinforced, skills that are currently front-burner–Grandees need to be aware of these things.
2. — must stay in the classroom during the Grandee's time. This is not free time for the teacher, but additional instructional time.
3. — needs to be available to handle any discipline situations and also answer student questions that the Grandee might have difficulty handling.
4. — should ask the Grandee how he/she would like to be addressed. Mr., Mrs., or a special nickname?
5. — may wish to appoint two students to act as host and hostess to acquaint the Grandee with your classroom and school.
6. — can help children make name tags that they can wear during Grandee visits. This will help the volunteer learn and remember the children's names. (Use large lettering).
7. — might invite the volunteer to go on class trips, attend school programs, and occasionally ask the volunteer to stay for lunch in the cafeteria.
8. — will want to contact the volunteer coordinator when the Grandee misses the class time. Find out if there is anything the children can do for them. Children love to make cards for their Grandees; get well, birthday, special holidays, etc. Grandees cherish the cards!
9. –will do well to have a prearranged signal, so the Grandee will be reminded that the children need to get back to their studies. Grandees volunteers are often tempted to stay past their designated time!
10. — should help the children show appreciation for their Grandee. A gracious thank you from the children at the end of the visit will warm the heart of a Grandee.

Q: How to obtain the identity of an entity after calling SaveChanges() when the entity is mapped to stored procedures We are using Entity Framework 4.0 and we have an entity that is mapped to stored procedures provided by our DBA. The Insert, Update, and Delete functions in the mapping details all have their own stored procedures.
When using entities that are mapped to tables I am able to add a new entity, call dataContext.SaveChanges(); and then the new entity I instantiated automatically has its ID property populated with the value from the identity column in the database.
How can this be accomplished when the entity is mapped to stored procedures? Does the INSERT stored procedure have to do something special and/or do I have to do something special on dataContext.SaveChanges();?
Example
Traditional way
var newCustomer = new Customer
{
    Name = "Fred",
    Age = 24
};

// newCustomer.Id is null

dataContext.Customers.Add(newCustomer);
dataContext.SaveChanges()

// newCustomer.Id is what database identity column was set to.

Mapped to stored procedures.
var newCustomer = new Customer
{
    Name = "Fred",
    Age = 24
};

// newCustomer.Id is null

dataContext.Customers.Add(newCustomer);
dataContext.SaveChanges()

// newCustomer.Id is null

A: If you are using Identity column in database make sure that your stored procedure contains:
SELECT Scope_Identity() AS Id

after calling INSERT
Also make sure that PK in your entity mode is correctly configured with StoreGeneratedPattern set to Identity (should be automatically if you used Update from database)

A: I believe your DB needs to use @@identity or insert with a NewID() and return the Identity/NewID value back to you via the stored procedure.  You technically could select from the database for the record you inserted, but that is a very questionable way to do it as; you don't know if the records was inserted (unless the SP failed at .Net), you may not know if duplicated records exists, or even if the data was changed after the insert but before the select.  When in doubt I always highly recommend talking to your DBA about the best approach to your specific needs based your DBAs design.
Updates:
If he returns you the PK value, you should be able to do a standard select from the table to populate the entity like from e in context.entities where e.pkcolumn = spkeyreturned select e.
If he returns you ALL the data back, and can guarantee the data won't change, you might be able to create a new entity, populate it will all the data and use the Attach method.  I personally wouldn't do that, but it is an option.  Attaching and Detaching Object in Entity Framework.

Role of the PAO/Senior Join Media Relations
98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108
CONSUMER MAGAZINES Consumer magazines appeal to various special interests of the public. Technology, business, sports, hobbies, theater, gossip and humor are among the major subjects reported. These provide an opportunity to tell a story in greater detail or from a particular point of view. Stories need not be as timely as in a news magazine. INTERNAL OR PROMOTIONAL PUBLICATIONS Internal or promotional publications reach the internal and external audiences of companies, agencies, professions or vocations. They are also called trade journals and house organs. Public Affairs Communica- tor is an example of a trade journal. BOOKS Many PAOs and senior journalists are asked to assist authors of books dealing with military subjects. More than 30,000 books are published in this country annually. Because of the continuing importance of the Navy and the armed services as a whole to our society, authors of virtually all classes of books (nonfiction, adult, juvenile, general, text and pictorial) rely on the public affairs office for help in gathering material. You may assist book authors by making available unclassified research or background materials. Contact CHINFO when an author's request involves more than locally available materials. MEDIA ACTIONS Learning Objective: Identify the various types of media actions that lead to distorted messages. Pure media consumers do not have a difficult time understanding the news media. However, when a media consumer is faced with actually using news media channels, that person must have a more detailed awareness of how the media operates. The following is a list of the general news media "sins" that lead to distorted messages: 1. Short deadlines. Reporters are always under tight deadlines, which means you must be prepared to react, on short notice, if it is in the best interest of the command. 2. Time or space limitations. Print, radio and television have very small spaces (such as a paragraph) and short periods (such as a minute, 30 seconds) to tell your story. 3. Inexperienced reporters. Most reporters do not know the difference between a rear admiral and a chief petty officer. Military reporters relate to the word Tomahawk as an American Indian weapon, not a U.S. Navy cruise missile. Translate military terminology into civilian terms, if possible. Educating the reporter before an interview helps. 4. Nonattributed news. Be careful when using sources without clearly identifing them, such as "a naval officer said. . . ." Establish interview ground rules before the interview and how you will respond to unknown sources or critics. Ground rules will be discussed later in this chapter. 5. Editor negligence. Information suspected of being wrong or misleading is not always checked out by senior editors. The PAO should always challenge data or facts that he believes to be wrong and go directly to the reporter's boss if necessary. 6. Competition. Too often, a sloppy job is done by news reporters because of news media competing to get the news first. However, competition can be positive. For example, editors and news directors know that if reporters are abusive to sources, access will eventually become more difficult and the competition will have an edge. 7. Prize journalism. Some reporters are looking for the big story of waste, fraud and abuse to win professional acclaim and praise. 8. Mob journalism. In a crisis, many news reporters arrive on-scene and demand access to crisis events and interviews. You must be cool and stay in control if this situation occurs. 9. Pack (trend) journalism. Once a single exclusive story hits the wire services, a whole pack of stories on the same subject appears. For instance, if the Navy experiences a series of aircraft accidents over a short period, the media pack will focus its stories on naval aviation safety and training. 10. Checkbook journalism. News media "buy" a story or source. For example, a television station may pay air fare, meals and lodging to bring a family (next of kin) to the crisis. 11. Hitchhiker journalism. Areporter, who thinks something important has or is about to happen (at a base or ship), stations himself outside the gate and picks up 4-5

I use beanstalk with internal network load balancer.
Then I use api gatway and vpc link integration to redirect any api calls to my beanstalk. so this way no one can directly call my beanstalk. Here is my api gtw set up:

And here is my vpc link set up:

Now when I execute api gateway I get:

But when I use a network load balancer but a public facing one everything works. However this does not make sense. The whole point of using vpc link is to be able to talk to internal facing load balancer. Am I making any mistake? Any help is appreciated.

A: The requests are actually making it to your backend, as indicated by the Apache Tomcat 404 response. You need to make sure Tomcat is configured to serve up the path API Gateway is requesting.

Planes: Fire & Rescue – brilliant anime, one of the best of its genre This anime, which I free even refuse to compare with the other ones is the masterpiece created by my favorite director. It's really hard to distinguish the good from the good. Best of all, you need to find out what makes this important. Writing, directing, cinematography and taking into account the effect of taking into account.
The soundtrack of these anime is simple, decieving, full of mischief in its own right. There is not a single thing wrong with that anime. It sets the 10/10 standard for every other animes in existence for me. The amount of details and little aspects of the anime that you can find years and years later is absolutely amazing.
This director is great. With Planes: Fire & Rescue online he seems to be setting himself some kind of a test – how far over the top can he go? I uploaded this anime to KissAnime, so everyone can now see it for free online.

Monilia polystroma est une espèce de champignons ascomycètes de la famille des Sclerotiniaceae, originaire d'Extrême-Orient.
Ce champignon est l'agent responsable d'une forme de maladie cryptogamique, la moniliose asiatique.

Cette espèce  a d'abord été identifiée, en tant qu'espèce distincte, en 2002 à partir d'isolats japonais précédemment rattachés à Monilinia fructigena. Elle a par la suite été signalée en Hongrie et en Chine.

Injured Baby Squirrels Streaming Into Peninsula Care Center
Filed Under:Peninsula Humane Society, Squirrels
BURLINGAME (CBS SF) — Officials with the Peninsula Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said they've received an influx of baby squirrels arriving into their wildlife care center this week.
The number of squirrels — near 100 — are reported to be the victims of tree trimming. When someone tending to the tree doesn't notice it, the squirrels fall out of their nests and lose their home. Other times, the squirrels fall out of their nest or have been captured by cats, according to the PHS/SPCA.
(Peninsula Humane Society)
"At this point, we are caring for almost 100 baby squirrels in our Wildlife Care Center," organization spokeswoman Buffy Martin Tarbox said in a statement.
The breed of squirrels is the Eastern gray squirrels, which have litters twice per year. They sometimes have injuries when they arrive in the center, most commonly broken teeth and head trauma. They generally need two to three months of recovery time before they can be released back to the wild.
"Caring for baby squirrels is time-intensive and the smallest of our squirrel patients need to be hand-fed," Tarbox said. "We feed them by hand a special, mother's milk replacement formula using a syringe until they are ready to self-feed on seed and nuts."
The organization encourages residents to hold off on trimming trees until the late fall to help prevent disrupting squirrel nests.
Anyone who finds an abandoned baby squirrel can bring it to the center at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame.

Q: JS how to capture logic for field validation based on characters typed then deleted I have a form field where feedback is provided to the user filling it out. For example, a length requirement of iMinLength or more characters.
In the beginning of the user typing, I don't want to trigger an error message because they are probably still typing.
How can I only show a length validation message if they have typed the required 6 chars and then deleted some so that the length is now less than 6 chars?
Here is a mock-up of the logic I have, it does everything I need except the part I mentioned above.
How can I adjust it to behave as indicated above? I basically want this part to execute during typing (e.g. input is firing) when user had typed 6 or more chars first, then went to less than 6.
$('#sNewPasswordResult').html('Password must be at least 6 characters');
Here is the full chunk so far:
$(document).on('input blur', '#sSignUpPassword', function (e) {

if ($('#sSignUpPassword').val().length > iMinLength) {

    $('#sNewPasswordResult').html("Password: ");
    $('#sSignUpPassword').css("border", "1px solid green");
}
else {
    if (e.type == 'focusout') { //only for leaving the form field

        $('#sNewPasswordResult').html('Password must be at least 6 characters');
        $('#sSignUpPassword').css("border", "1px solid red");
    }

};
});

A: I solved your problem by creating a flag to control if the user reaches the minimum characters, then I show the error if the user delete chars until the minimum, like this:
  $("#passwd").keyup(function() {
    var $passwd = $(this);

    if ($passwd.val().length >= 6) {
      $passwd.data("reach-typing", true);
    }
  });
  $("#passwd").blur(function() {
    var $passwd = $(this);

    if ($passwd.val().length < 6 && $passwd.data("reach-typing") === true) {
      $("#errorLength").show();
    } else {
      $("#errorLength").hide();
    }
  });

Erwin Krickhahn is disappointed at the Supreme Court ruling. Krickhahn -- who also has ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)-- wants the legal right, like Sue Rodriguez, to plan his death. The court decision on Rodriguez's case means that Krickhahn must now plan his suicide earlier than later. Because, Krickhahn tells CBC Television, he needs to do it before ALS physically robs him of the capability. But others such as Jean Legace disagree with Krickhahn and Rodriguez. Legace, also an ALS patient, says he still enjoys life and has no intention of ending it prematurely.
• The stance taken by the Coalition of Provincial Organizations of the Handicapped (COPOH) best exemplified the complex issues surrounding euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide. The national umbrella organization which represents 162 groups, intervened against Rodriguez in the Supreme Court of Canada. But the group actually ended up supporting Rodriguez because it agreed that the law violated her rights by discriminating against disabled people.
• On Nov. 2, 1993 Erwin Krickhahn made headlines when he invited the media to watch him commit suicide. But when reporters refused to attend, partly because it wasn't clear whether they would be breaking the law, Krickhahn vetoed his plan. He then cut off all contact with the media. He later died of natural causes on Feb. 8, 1994 in Toronto. He was 51.
• The complex and divisive debate over the right to die was highlighted by the 5-4 Supreme Court of Canada decision. Medical ethicist and lawyer Dr. Margaret Somerville told Michael Enright on CBC's As It Happens that this narrow split reflected society's ambiguity on the issue.
• The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops along with Evangelical Fellowship of Canada intervened against Rodriguez on two grounds. The first was religious, that God, not Rodriguez, owned her life. The second was that granting the right to die could lead the elderly, handicapped and chronically ill to feel that they had a duty to die.


Wrinkle Injections consist of a small amount of Botulinum toxin injected right into the muscles that are responsible for creating wrinkles or undesirable facial muscle effects. This treatment is quick and results usually last for three to six months. The toxin temporarily inactivates the muscles that produce wrinkles, thereby causing lines to disappear or diminish dramatically. It usually takes a few days after the injection to notice the wrinkle smoothing effect.
Some of the common areas treated include crow's feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and forehead wrinkles. The toxin can also be injected to weaken the muscles responsible for a "gummy smile", which can improve this appearance dramatically. Injections into muscles that lower the eyebrow or corners of the mouth can produce a form of temporary brow lift or lip lift.
After the first treatment, you may return for follow-up injections. Some doctors report that after several treatments, the effect appears to last longer, often up to several months.
