The Chastity v. Sophistication division: Wisdom v. Elitist Celebritwittery.
'Naïve' Chastity Vs Sophistication of the Elite. Lechery, promiscuity, perversion are Sophisticated; chastity equates to Naïveté. See?
What was so horrible about the Victorian era?
We need to look more closely, perhaps more consciously, at the Chastity Vs Sophistication dichotomy, and the cultural message that we are subliminally subjected to every day of our lives. You can't really get away from it, unless perhaps you move into a monastery or a convent, or become some kind of hermit.
Contemporary big-screen, small-screen and live entertainment, music, talk radio, broadcast and print media, the internet, formative education, advanced education, contemporary literature, advertising, even the "news"; all and more, treat illicit sex, so long as "discreet" and within certain new contemporary norms, as the activity of sophisticates, and the practice of chastity as the impractical naiveté of backward dolts and simpletons. Even in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, elitist celebritwits state flatly that chastity doesn't work and that the practice of chastity is impossible. Among the elite, the chastity vs sophistication question is no longer even a question; it has been answered.
In fact, in the collective contemporary subconscious, chastity vs sophistication has morphed into another scientistic theory in the tradition of Darwinism, Freudianism and Marxism, all of which insist that we "know", in our modern sophistication, that they are all true. The simple fact that not one single shred of real scientific evidence supports any of these theories, and despite the fact that all existing real scientific evidence opposes them matters not at all, because all of these theories enjoy heavy scientistic consensus among all of TTRSTF4 who are universally recognized as the subject-matter experts by the elite class of celebritwittery and their adoring retinues of celebritards.
Celebritwittery represents the so-called intelligentsia who are most responsible for the ideas being discussed in public forums, editorials and popular essays, the topics of talk shows and so forth. They put forth, publish and guide public discourse on trends in thinking. The intellectuals of a society are the ones who deal professionally in ideas and who put them forth, with a certain spin, for public digestion.
I submit that contemporary American intellectualism is dominated by celebritwittery.
Today, consensus trumps the scientific method. There is and can be no application of critical thinking here.
The Chastity Vs Sophistication question has been elevated, in the public consciousness, into yet another scientistic theory enjoying universal uncritical acceptance. Those who preach chastity are written off as nerds, religious nuts and general dummies and traditionalists still lost in the pre-scientism dark ages of thought. Those who enjoy random copulation are seen to be more sophisticated. The more randomly and the more perverse their sexual activities, the more sophisticated they are seen to be.
At its basic root, the theory of chastity vs sophistication can be best illustrated by a simple examination of its treatment of the scientistic theory of the human Population Problem and its step-child scientistic theory justifying Artificial Contraception.
Modern day celebritwits will stand before the cameras with their bare faces hanging out and solemnly declare that China and India have a population problem, but England and Italy do not; and that Bangladesh has a population problem, but Hong Kong does not, in open, public, absolute defiance of simple mathematics. And they get away with it, because celebritwittery knows best, and celebritwittery is driving the social discourse bus.
Another scientistic motive for people to practice artificial contraception involves the silly notion that we are running out of "our precious resources" due to overpopulation, and that people produce more pollution and man-induced global warming, etc., etc., etc. And yet, as you can see in the Eco-Nazi Movement page,
throughout human history, proven reserves of everything, including oil, always increase and never decrease over time
world food production vastly increases over time
there exists no scientific evidence that any global climate change is man-induced
there exists no scientific evidence that man can alter global climate in any significant way.
Nevertheless, we are to believe that our own scientistically deduced population problem is dooming us to oblivion unless we practice artificial contraception and elect more celebritwits to high office.
Chastity vs sophistication theory, which enjoys major consensus among most of TTRSTF4 , recommends two courses of action:
Do not reproduce.
Do not practice chastity.
Now, I'm no intellectual, but it would seem to me that those two things are pretty close to being mutually exclusive. And yet, chastity vs sophistication theory tells us that doing those two things is the sophisticated way to behave. And, believing in the chastity vs sophistication theory has become an important mark of sophistication. Chastity vs sophistication theory is now an atheist/secularist religious dogma.
Chastity vs sophistication in education.
National Education Association (NEA) induced and State mandated sex education in the government-run school system has morphed into sexual perversion how-to classes. Students are taught the mechanics of safe fornication, protected sodomy and responsible promiscuity. As a direct result, rates of teen and pre-teen pregnancy, venereal disease and even abortion have rocketed to incredible rates.
Celebritwittery never said a word; in fact, celebrttwittery supports giving condoms to other people's children, and teaching them about the acceptability of sexual experimentation, the overall goodness of homosexuality and other forms of illicit sex and so forth, and even sneaking them around to abortion clinics without parental notification. Chastity vs sophistication theory sees all this in a positive, sophisticated light.
When some pro-chastity groups try to include chastity information into the curriculum, nationally syndicated talk show hosts like Neal Boortz go ballistic over it, because, as all sophisticated celebrtitwits know, chastity doesn't work, and neither does chastity education. Talk show celebritwits are not smart enough to figure out how so-called sex education doesn't work either, or, worse, that it does the exact opposite of what it was planned and intended to do.
The celebrtwits of the world are either too dumb to oppose state mandated sex education in state-run schools, or they are, in truth, evil in their intent, know full well what sex education is doing to our youth, and they support it.
Boortz and others apply chastity vs sophistication theory in the same manner in which they strongly support the legal establishment and enforcement of atheist/secularist dogma over America's foundational and enduring Judeo-Christian guiding ethos. They get all exercised over any attempt to include any part of that ethos, such as the Ten Commandments, into education, as a feigned violation of a Constitutional principle which in fact does not exist. But they are not smart enough to figure out how the imposition of pure secularism upon the education system is forcing us, by law, to gradually become disciples of the state religion of atheism/secularism, and to oppose, at least publicly if not totally, our own traditional family religions.
They do their part to squeeze us and mold us into the thought patterns and morality of history's giants of atheism and secularism: Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler and Mao Tse Tung. That is the moral guiding ethos our elite class of celebritwittery seeks to promote, as it openly opposes all open public expressions and free exercises of Judeo-Christianity, in direct opposition to the First Amendment of our Constitution.
Chastity vs sophistication in entertainment.
Current situational comedies, or sit-coms, continually portray sexual purity and chastity as unexpected, abnormal, backward and unsophisticated. Un-chastity and impurity, however, are treated as expected, normal, forward and sophisticated. Parents worried about junior's hidden activities are relieved to discover his great secret involves his stash of Playboys rather than a stash of dope. The celebritwit nod always, always goes to the great Masturbation Industry, and to the super-sophisticated scientistic discoveries of the likes of Freud, Jung and Kinsey. After all, everybody does it, including even ex-President Clinton. Jacking off is sophisticated, see?
The worst thing about entertainment today is that it appears to be driven by sexual impurity and simple, unmitigated un-chastity. Celebritwits editorialize on how parents, in those fewer and fewer houses in which there are any legitimate parents, should be constantly monitoring and restricting TV and internet access of their legitimate and/or illegitimate children, to "protect" them from "adult" content. (Definition: Adult entertainment is entertainment who's main object is sexual impurity and un-chastity, and is therefore sophisticated.) But you can be watching the news and suddenly be subjected to an ad for some male sexual enhancement product, or the latest offering on the Playboy channel. You simply cannot get away from it, unless you put on EWTN and then just leave it there, and throw away the remote.
Chastity vs sophistication in commentary.
Elitist celebritwits love and promote open, active homosexuality as if it might somehow save the world from some feigned calamity. The interesting thing about that is how all other forms of un-chastity are seen to be sophisticated only so long as they are discreet, meaning done in a hidden and secretive way. But homosexual perversion, to be sophisticated, must be out there, hanging out in the open. Homosexuals who "Out" themselves are applauded and lauded as heroic, and as leaders, and are always given every opportunity to put themselves on public display, and are always editorially treated in the most positive manner imaginable. The Homo-Nazi Movement page and the HIV=AIDS=DEATH Hoax page go into the details of how elitist celebritwittery is steadily prodding America toward legally becoming the new Sodom.
At the same time, adultery and fornication are seen as highly sophisticated activities (mostly) when done discreetly, meaning, done while the participants publicly pretend to be chaste. Only the homosexual variety of un-chastity is encouraged to be highly public about itself. Go figure.
Yet whenever non-homosexual un-chastity somehow becomes public knowledge, as in all the many, many Clinton cases, involving such things as forcible rape, gross sexual imposition, sexual harassment, various sex acts in the Oval Office and so forth, the typical celebritwit response is a wry smile, tongue-in-cheek offered naughty-naughty little quips, attacks on the victims and/or story breakers, and a changing of the subject to more important matters. (So long as the offender is a celebricrat.) After all, these were all events involving consenting – well, usually consenting adults – well, mostly adults – and if the various "participants" had any sense at all they would have consented and been happy to do so. It's sophisticated.
The elite are so under the spell of the chastity vs sophistication scientistic theory that they look at Billary and see a highly sophisticated world leader, who went about the business of bombing Iraq for its weapons of mass destruction while trying hard to homsexualize and de-fund our military, all activities they supported. I look at the same pig and all I see is an adulterous lech, a twisted pervert, and an out-of-control slobbering jerk-off. I guess I'm just not sophisticated.
Chastity vs sophistication in social discourse.
In any conversation anywhere, the chaste person is likely to be offended in direct conversation, by indirect conversation between others, or even by overheard conversation. The typical example:
What?!! Pregnant AGAIN? Haven't you two learned about birth control yet? You need to become more responsible and learn to do better planning.
Using artificial contraception reduces the human sex act to a mere act of achieving sexual gratification, pure and simple. It is no different than masturbation. It reduces the sex partner to a mere object, a sexual playground, of use solely in the achievement of sexual gratification for its own sake. It is precisely the same thing as Onan spilling his seed on the ground. Yet today the chastity vs sophistication theory is so solidly socially embedded that not using contraception is most commonly seen as irresponsible, to the Earth, to the environment, to the larger culture, and even to the family unit.
In the chastity vs sophistication theory we are reaping the rewards of hijacked feminism morphed into the Femi-Nazi Movement and promoting legal enforcement of sexual equality in all areas of social life, including even areas in which women and men are quite obviously not equal. Equal job opportunity led to women doing many jobs traditionally done by men, and that's not all bad. Equal pay for equal work led to women getting the same pay for the same work done by men, and that's not all bad.
But these advances led to a general lowering of worker output, which led to a general across-the-board lowering of free market pay rates for all these jobs, which was indeed all bad. It eventually hit a point where one man's job, on average, could no longer sustain a family. The "average" family became a two-worker household, out of absolute necessity. This didn't happen solely because women are not as productive as men, except in those jobs where strength is a factor. The primary problem was and is attendance. Women simply miss more work days than men, always. It is an indisputable fact that women get pregnant more often than men. As it has always been, so it will always be.
But men today don't make nearly as much, in constant dollars, as they did before women became such a massive proportion of the entire work force. Nobody does. That's the problem. Big labor bosses got rich by gradually raising labor costs so much that they began pricing American workers out of the free market. In a similar manner, misguided feminism made wonderful gains for women, on paper, while lowering all pay across the board, and while making working in America most profitable for single people, and for people with few or no children. It thus became a self-fulfilling prophesy. Once upon a time, one working man, like Abe Lincoln's father, could do well by his quite large family relying only his own labor. But just as soon as the typical wife left home and went to work, the typical male worker could no longer do that. The whole job market has been unnaturally changed for the worse.
Chastity vs sophistication theory feeds this negative trend by encouraging contraception, at least, and by discouraging marriage. Today, you can't even discuss such things as temporarily living celibate, or even life-long celibacy, with any disciple of chastity vs sophistication theory. Celibacy is impossible is the immediate cry from those who never learned and never practiced any form of self control. Living celibate is even given as the reason for the sex scandals involving the Catholic priesthood.
The same celebritwits who promote the chastity vs sophistication myth will never recognize the simple fact that there have been and are higher rates of child sexual abuse among government school coaches and government school teachers, or that there are and have been similar rates among non-Catholic clergy and "youth ministers", none of whom are celibate. Devoid of any semblance of self discipline and self control, they emotionally convulse at the mere though of a celibate lifestyle. Remember, these are the same guys who promote open homosexuality.
The celebritwits join the scientistic twits on the subject of the chastity vs sophistication theory. The entire SLIMC1 is on-board here. Turn on the Discovery channel to see all the nature crockumentaries showing how celebritwittery joins all of TTRSTF4 in definite scientistic consensus on how we increasingly harmful humans are destroying the increasingly sacred World.
Watch the old PBS Cosmos series with TV scientifical-type-feller Carl Sagan to witness the absolute certainty, certainty, with which modern scientism concludes that God does not exist, and that man is, basically, a cancer on an otherwise beautiful cosmos. This scientistic certainty is not based on any empiricism or application of any scientific method, but solely and exclusively on scientistic consensus regarding various scientistic dogmatic "truths." Today, scientistic consensus equates to scientific fact.
Today you will see commercials involving "couples" in which one partner has genital herpes and the other is not yet infected, and they want to keep it that way, but they still want to continue fornicating. So, it involves all the latest scientistic methods for them to continue screwing as safely as possible, with the help of a somewhat or a potentially and only partially effective drug for that purpose. You might see another commercial involving a pre-teen girl playing with a skate board and wearing a baseball cap backwards. She's giving "information" on how she and others can continue sexual promiscuity while lessening the possibility of getting HPV, with a drug touted to be able to do that, sometimes, with limited effectiveness. This shows how scientism is working for us, and for a brighter future.
This is sophisticated? Excuse me? The chastity vs sophistication theory is so ingrained into modern culture that few people are even shocked by any such TV advertisements. Chastity vs sophistication has been falsely portrayed to the public by dumb asses masquerading as super-sophisticates. It's a great lie; you can tell how great a lie it is by it's effectiveness. Compare chastity vs sophistication with any of the other scientistic lies, hoaxes and myths you will find in this site, and the comparison will show a comparable effectiveness. Everybody knows it to be true.
Everybody knows that chastity is dumb and un-chastity is sophisticated, just like everybody knows that HIV=AIDS=DEATH, just like everybody knows that Darwinism is true, just like everybody knows that man-induced global warming has doomed us all, just like everybody knows that we have a human population problem, just like everybody knows that we are running out of oil, just like everybody knows that it is Christianity that causes the most wars, and on, and on, and on. Chastity vs sophistication is so successful it doesn't have to be preached any more; it's just accepted, like Darwinism.
The chastity vs sophistication theory has reached Nirvana; the highest point achievable by any scientistic hoax. This is due to an overwhelming consensus, among all of TTRSTF4 , the entire SLIMC1 , and our elite class of celebritwittery. Chastity vs sophistication has become another important tool of use in moving us all from our existing national Judeo-Christian guiding ethos, to the guiding ethos of BMDFP10 and Clintons.
Question any part of chastity vs sophistication dogma and the response is likely to be " STNSEACPB8 that chastity vs sophistication theory is in any doubt." Or, " SNRTACBT7 that chastity is somehow sophisticated, and that sexual impurity is not." Social Darwinism tells us that cultures evolve, and thus that, GESGOEAEOT2 , chastity vs sophistication evolved as part of our culture. Although it might have had a significant PEWAG3 boost from the sixties sexual revolution geological moment.
Celebritwittery denounces Victorianism as hypocritical, because, as anyone who watches the History channel knows, there were real live fornicators and adulterers operating under cover during the Victorian era. They just swept it under the rug, and treated offenses that became public as scandals. Modern chastity vs sophistication theory application prefers to treat these publicized events as normal, rather than scandalous, so long as the perpetrators are celebritwits or celebricrats. It's the sophisticated thing to do.
Queen Victoria and her era were infinitely more sophisticated than today's celebritwits, in an era where vice was recognized as vice, virtue was recognized as virtue, and few pretended that anything was other than what it actually was. Certain behaviors belonged in the gutter, and that's where you found them. Today, you can go to the sophisticates to find the same filth; but it is no longer recognized as filth. The gutter has now been raised to the level of the celebritwit class. Chastity vs sophistication theory says that un-chastity is not only normal, but sophisticated behavior. In actual fact nothing has changed at all.
The celebritwits actually promote the actual causative behaviors of all sorts of medical, social and psychological maladies, while scientism works feverishly to alleviate or minimize all of the clearly natural consequences of those very causative behaviors.
Now, ain't that just plumb flat out sophisticated?

From: Joshua
Can not sex be both for pleasure and for procreation?
Joshua:
Here's what I said about it in the Masturbation Industry page:
"In Western thought, sex is the means to an end; in secular thought, sex is an end, and the secular man will use any means to get to that end. In the received wisdom of Western civilization, throughout it's two thousand year history, the primary physical purpose for sex is procreation, and the primary social and spiritual purpose for sex is the foundation of the family. It is therefore reserved for the married state, in which sex has another purpose, that being, bonding of man and wife, the formation of the social "glue" that binds parents more strongly to each other to form the solid foundation of the family unit.
In the received wisdom of secularism, the physical and social purpose for sex is—well, sex. It's just "natural". As we shall see, again, on another topic, secular naturalists may be seen working feverishly to defeat nature; although sex is seen as purely natural, naturalists see a need to artificially defeat all natural consequences of sex, and to control it. Just like economies, and just like societies, and just like "our" environment; secularists are, by nature, control freaks. They have to have a plan for everything, and the plan is usually of the grandiose, social variety, affecting everybody, affecting every thing."

Returning America to the revolutionary High Ideals of the Founding Fathers, and to the formalized Ideology of Liberty that the Framers set down in the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land.
Almost all the rest of this site talks about our problems; these pages talk about how to fix them. Marxist anti-Americanism has advanced so far in even our politics and our own government that we now have to consider super-radical changes just to save the Constitution itself.
The Required Radical American Re-Revolution. Or, Re-Constitution. It took 100+ years to radicalize Constitutional America. It will take a radical re-revolution to bring it back to sanity.
Fixing it all, or, losing it all: the only options left for America. Fixing it all is our only option. If we don't fix it all, we will surely lose it all.
Going whole-Hog on American Constitutional Restoration. It's all or nothing, now. If we don't go whole-hog on Constitutional Restoration, the USA is history.
Constitutional America requires American re evangelization. We cannot revive Constitutionalism without an American re evangelization.
Deep Reconciliation means repentance, confession, absolution and conversion. A Serious, Deep Reconciliation is required of this whole nation, one man at a time.
At this moment in time, most Constitutionalists would love to kill the IRS. How do you Kill the IRS? Fast-track and pass the Fair Tax. Very simple; nothing to it.
Our argument supporting the Fair Tax as a sensible and practical Tax Revolution. Fair Tax presents the possibility of a real, popular, voter-supported, tax payer supported, grass-roots supported Revolution in America, and a radical change for the better.
Fasttrack Fairtax: Stop income tax until repeal of Amendment XVI. Fasttrack Fairtax: Legislate to not collect income tax and pass FairTax.
Argument to Repeal Amendment XVI, the Income Tax Amendment. Repeal Amendment XVI and the very idea of progressively taxing income.
Argument for Repeal of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The Federal Reserve Act did not prevent the Great Depression, so why does The FED still exist?
Argument to Repeal Amendment XVII and the Politicizing of the Senate. We need to repeal Amendment XVII and restore our Senate to its original status.
It isn't just Obamacare; we need to kill controlled Health Care. Kill Controlled Health Care to get government and insurance out of the medical transaction.
We need to shut down the dept of education. Shut down the dept of education and cut $77B from the budget.
Argument against Public Education, which is, in fact, Government Indoctrination. Public Education equals State Indoctrination, pure and simple. Education is beyond the scope of government and not what our government is constituted to do.
Are our federal bureaucracies all malignant outgrowths of Marxism? Any extra-Constitutional government agency is likely to be a malignant outgrowth of Marxism.
My Proposed Constitutional Amendment to neutralize the enemy within. A proposed Constitutional Amendment to get anti-Constitutionalists out of power and authority.
The process of becoming a Godless Nation is the sure path to National Insanity. The Godless Nation: Can a totally secularized people even know right from wrong?
Regarding The President We Need, The President We Deserve, and God's Judgment. I can describe the President we need; what we have now is the President we deserve.
Compromise with Evil begins the ultimate death spiral. Compromise on any Vital Principle leads to death, for individual souls and for cultures.
Why is this American Christian nation not called a Christian nation? This American Christian nation is oddly referred to as something other than a Christian nation. Why?
Chastity Vs. The Modern World: Signs of a Culture in Decline. Looking more closely at what is REALLY at the heart of American political debate today.
The Chastity Vs Sophistication division: Wisdom Vs Elitist Celebritwittery. 'Naïve' Chastity Vs Sophistication of the Elite. Lechery, promiscuity, perversion are Sophisticated; chastity equates to naiveté. See?
Of Lies and Liars: All the devil's lies, and all the devil's liars cannot make a new truth. He can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but he can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Constitutionalism: Sovereign Citizenship and Limited Representative Government. The philosophy that government derives authority from citizens and is permanently limited is called Constitutionalism.
A minority tail furiously wags a majority dog unto death. In bending over backwards to mollify and molly-codle minorities, the majority forgets it is the majority.
The Christ-centered life, the godless life, and the inevitable ungodly life. When any Godly nation moves into godlessness, the inevitable end is an ungodly nation.
American survival requires bold, take it to the enemy leadership. What we need is radical, revolutionary take it to the enemy leadership just for national survival itself.
Undoing the damage and righting the wrongs, wherever possible. Undoing the damage must follow national survival (assuming national survival.)
American Foreign Policy: what it was, what it is, what it should be. Obamunists and Marxocrats turned American foreign policy into an absolute travesty.
Fix the VA by switching all Government Coverage to VA Coverage. Restricting Congress, the Presidency and the Court to Existing Military Coverage should fix the VA pretty quick.
Fix Military Pay by tieing it to Congressional Pay and Raises. Tying Presidential, Congressional, Judicial and Military to One Pay Scale should Fix Military Pay.
Regarding off-duty military concealed-carry of firearms. With Moslem potential Jihadists in our own military ranks, all American military should be armed at all times.
Sheriffs and Veterans and Citizens; Oh My! County Sheriffs and Veterans should together form volunteer Minute-Man like County Militia units of the free citizenry.
Patience. Be not afraid. A Glorious Sunrise is coming. The Son rose on a Sunday, following a Friday Crucifixion. Our Sunrise will come after much suffering; it will come with our reawakening to Truth.

MR. GREICO FROM KILLAH HILLS...
SOURCE: GETONDOWN.COM
Remember the Killah Hills 10304 Skit from this album? Remember the dude that RZA was making the drug deal with? Ever wonder who that was? I know I always did. Our friends at GETONDOWN were able to track him down and get the story behind the skit as well as what it was like to witness the recording of this timeless classic.
When S.H. Fernando Jr., better known as "Skiz," entered Sterling Sound Studios in Manhattan in 1995, he arrived not just as a journalist. Granted, his credentials as a writer were strong: Skiz was already a regular contributor to The Source and Vibe, while his first book "The New Beats: Exploring the Music, Culture & Attitudes of Hip-Hop," published in 1994, helped solidify his reputation as a forward-thinking voice in contemporary rap.
But on that day, he was also a fan getting a chance to hang out with one of his favorite artists. And while sitting in on the chaotic mastering sessions for GZA's Liquid Swords, he would become part of one of hip-hop's all time greatest albums—not as himself, but as the mysterious "Mr. Greico" on "Killah Hills 10304." In this exclusive interview, Skiz talks with Get On Down about the making of Liquid Swords, his role on the album, and why you should never cross RZA in a drug deal, real or fake.

The KINGSTAR Soft Motion platform supports multiple industry-leading EtherCAT Masters to guarantee that devices from different manufacturers can work together seamlessly. The centralized controller architecture provided by an EtherCAT Master ensures all of the benefits of EtherCAT technology, like real-time operations, short cycle times, and maximum performance for minimal expense.
One of our EtherCAT Master partners, Koenig, recently compared the performance of their KPA EtherCAT Master on five different real-time operating systems (RTOS), including IntervalZero RTX64, the foundation of the KINGSTAR platform. The results are compelling.
Koenig found that RTX64 has measurably less jitter and faster response time in both a simple and complex EtherCAT configuration than the competition.
Koenig performed the comparison on an Intel Core i7-3770 CPU core with 8GB of RAM and an Intel Gigabit CT desktop adapter NIC. They compared IntervalZero RTX64 with Xenomai, INtime, QNX, and WindRiver VxWorks, although their KPA EtherCAT Master also supports IntervalZero RTX, Linux RT Preemt, QNX, and Windows.
You can see that in this 3rd party benchmark, RTX64 demonstrated far less jitter, significantly faster slave response time, equal master cycle time, and comparable CPU load. This makes IntervalZero RTX64, and therefore the KINGSTAR Soft Motion Platform, an excellent choice for any organization using an EtherCAT Master like Koenig's KPA stack.

On Goodreads I was asked:
Were you worried about making the MC Jorg so very young? He commits all these atrocities so why make him 13? Do you find it takes away from the credibility - the 'believabiltiy' if you will, of the plot? Or was it done in order for a younger audience to be able to relate to him?
& I replied:
Mark Lawrence I wasn't worried, no.
Jorg was inspired by Alex from the 1962 classic A Clockwork Orange who is similarly youthful and prone to violence.
In the Broken Empire his age serves various important ends.
The themes in the trilogy include those revolving around
(i) the nature vs nurture issue,
(ii) the ambiguities in responsibility and purpose that arise from the protagonist's age, and
(iii) the disparity between what Jorg tells the reader about his motives and responsibility and what the reader actually deduces
(iv) the changes wrought in us through experience as opposed to those wrought by simply growing.
I rely on my readers having the imagination to cope with the idea that along with ghosts, dream-witches, and magical mutants, there might be some (or at least one) people who at 14 (as Jorg is for 90% of the first book) might act in many regards as older than their age.
A few readers appear to think protagonists are plucked at random from the population and are overwhelmingly likely to be 'average'. This strikes me as odd. If I write a book about a lottery winner, Olympic champion, or mind-reader will readers cry out that it's hardly believable that this random guy has won the lottery / is better at running fast than 99.999999999% of other young men his age / can read minds...
The books weren't written for a young audience.
But how far are we being asked to stretch our imaginations here? Is a 14 year old who acts in many ways like someone of 20+ as extraordinary as a talking dragon? A flying unicorn? Or merely as extraordinary as a ghost or a mind-reader? Or even just as large a mental leap as an orc or a secondary world. Or just a rarity we might encounter in our own world?
In Prince of Thorns at age 14 Jorg is described as six foot tall, strong with it.
This is Robert Bobroczky - he was 7'4" at the age of 13. Jorg was nowhere near that tall.
This is Jake Scehllenschlager at 14. He could dead-lift 300 pounds. Jorg was nowhere near that well-muscled.
This is Jacob Barnett. He taught himself calculus, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in a week. At 12 he was working towards a PhD in quantum physics. Jorg was nowhere near this clever.
Here's Marjorie Gestring who at age 13 won an Olympic gold medal for diving. Jorg doesn't win any fights against grown men one on one in Prince of Thorns. And he's not going for an Olympic sword fighting medal against all comers from the entire planet - just facing people he meets in a small patch of France.
Everyone knows about Alexander the Great's exploits at a young age, but he's not unique, just rare.
In 1500 at the age of 13 Ismail won his first major battle against Shirvan, the country that was responsible for the death of his family. In 1501, at the age of 14, he captured Tabriz and ruled the whole of northwestern Iran, declaring himself Shah of Iran the next year. Jorg's conquests in his 14th year were very small in comparison.
And a boy of 14 with lieutenants to back him up leading a bandit gang? Johnny and Luther Htoo were the infamous chain-smoking twins who led a large rebel gang in Burmah at age 12.
So ... yes, people who freak out over Jorg's age and put the book down because they know some 14 year old boys who aren't like that ... I don't get them.
Basta Con La Droga 19 March 2016 at 10:45
Picture me pumping my fist in the air and going "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Kathi 22 March 2016 at 05:34
Excellent post! I second the fist-pumping. Thank you for the examples of rarity.
SimonEllberger 30 March 2016 at 09:07
Great article. I'd add that Jorg isn't even as rare as someone who writes fiction as well as Mark Lawrence does.
Roxanne Kosarek 9 April 2016 at 11:01
At 14, I had 7 younger brothers and sisters, one of who was handicapped. I babysat them, fed them, clothed them, put them to bed, tutored them, read to them, played and fought with them...everything but paid the bills... I'll vouch for Jorg
Its not rare,
just feared
Excellent Post

We are one step closer to wireless charging from a distance – no pad needed
Wireless charging from a distance isn't coming this year, but it took a big step today.
Wireless charging is an awesome feature for any smartphone to have. However, for it to work, you still need to put the phone on some sort of pad or dock to initiate a charge.
In the future, this might not be necessary (via CNET). Today, a company called Ossia earned FCC approval for its technology which allows for wireless charging over radio waves from up to one meter away. That means you could simply stand near a wireless charger and your phone would get some more juice.
Ossia's wireless charging device is called Cota and it uses the same 2.4GHz radio frequency used by your Wi-Fi router. Instead of beaming around data, though, it beams around power.
Samsung vs Huawei reverse wireless charging test
Now, don't get too excited — it's not like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 is going to come with this capability. The FCC approval only applies to industrial situations, not for in-home use. Also, the technology as it currently stands only allows for one watt of power — hardly comparable to something like the Warp Charge 30 for the OnePlus 7 Pro, which delivers 30 watts of power through a cable.
Even most wireless charging pads offer between 5 and 10 watts of power, so this is more of trickle power than anything else.
Still, one watt of juice from one meter away could allow for a battery-powered device to always stay charged without a cable. Something simple, such as a smart speaker, could theoretically have a battery that wouldn't need replacing for years and also not need to be plugged into a wall.
Ossia hopes to have its products available to specific industries by 2020.

How Many RPMs Can A Rotary Engine Turn?
One of the rotary engine's most appealing aspects - especially for performance gearheads - is its capability to reach very high revolutions per minute (RPM). So how fast can a rotary engine turn? Luckily, we've done plenty of digging and have the answer below!
Straight out of the factory, some automotive rotary engines can rev up to 9,000 RPM. However, aftermarket modifications can remove the RPM limiter, allowing specific rotary engines to turn between 10,000 to 11,000 RPM.
Non-automotive rotary engines, on the other hand, have reached approximately 30,000 RPM.
Would you like to know more about the rotary engine's unique features and RPM capability? Read on because we've also included some interesting information about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of powerplant. With that said, let's dive right into this post!
What Is The Max RPM For A Rotary Engine?
Compared to piston-cylinder engines, rotary engines are pretty rare. Nevertheless, rotary engines still have a cult-like following among many automotive performance and racing enthusiasts.
This reverence in the automotive community continues a decade after the discontinuation of the last rotary-powered production car in 2012, the Mazda RX-8.
The rotary engine - known as the Wankel engine by its German inventor, Felix Wankel - was initially designed to have minimal vibrations compared to piston-cylinder engines.
Due to the absence of reciprocating masses (pistons), however, rotary engines also gained one particular characteristic - a high revolutions-per-minute (RPM) capacity.
So how high do rotary engines rev?
To set a baseline for our discussion, most modern gasoline-powered piston-cylinder engines reach their factory-set redline at 6,000 RPM. Diesel-powered cars, in turn, usually hit their redline at 3,500-4,500 RPM.
Rotary-engine performance cars like the Mazda RX-7 and RX-8 have factory-configured redlines ranging from 7,000 to 9,000 RPM. By tuning and rev limiter removal, some of these cars' owners rev their engines beyond 10,000 RPM.
How High Can You Rev An RX8?
The Mazda RX-7, produced from 1978 to 2002, has a stock redline between 7,000 and 8,000 RPM, depending on the year model and trim.
On the other hand, the Mazda RX-8, produced from 2003 to 2012, had a 9,000 RPM redline for manual transmission (M/T) and 7,500 RPM for automatic transmission (A/T) models.
The lower redline for the A/T models is due to the mechanical limitations of the torque converter, not the engine itself.
Many rotary engine enthusiasts, however, have made aftermarket modifications to churn out higher RPMs and power output without blowing their engines up.
These include changing to lightweight rotors, flywheel balancing, and many other expensive alterations.
With these modifications, some RX-7s and RX-8s can reach 10,000 to 11,000 RPM.
Wankel Engine RPM
Although the rotary engine's most popular application has to be in Mazda's sports cars, Wankel's invention has other niche applications.
Here are some of the other ways Wankel's engines are used:
Speedboats
Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs)
Model Engines
Some enthusiasts have tried running model rotary engines up to approximately 30,000 RPM in a controlled workshop or laboratory setting.
Watch the video below to see how one of these high RPM tests was done:
How Does A Rotary Engine Work?
In 1924, a 22-year-old German engineer named Felix Wankel started his laboratory research and development of an internal combustion engine.
This engine did not use reciprocating masses such as pistons to produce power. Instead, he wanted the engine to complete a four-stroke combustion cycle using a rotating mass.
After three decades of work, Wankel completed his first rotary engine design in 1954, which was tested in 1957. From then on, this rotary engine was also called the Wankel engine.
In contrast to conventional engines of that time, the Wankel engine used a triangular rotor instead of pistons.
The intake, compression, power/expansion, and exhaust strokes occur in the space between the engine housing and this rotor (affectionately called a "Dorito" by some rotary engine experts).
As the rotor rotates, it imparts its rotational force to an eccentric shaft (in place of the traditional crankshaft), thereby providing power through the transmission and, eventually, the vehicle's wheels.
What Are The Main Components In A Rotary Engine?
A Wankel rotary engine has three main parts, making it much simpler in design compared to a piston-cylinder engine.
Eccentric crankshaft
The rotor has three convex sides (hence the "Dorito" shape) with hollowed-out pockets on each of the three side faces for increased displacement.
At the center of the rotor is an inward-facing gear that meshes with the eccentric shaft's outer-facing gears.
The rotor rotates eccentrically while keeping its three apex points in contact with the housing's inner face using apex seals.
This constant contact ensures that the system's combustion strokes, which all happen on each of the rotor's three sides, are isolated.
As the name suggests, the housing contains the rotor and accepts all the inputs needed for the internal combustion process. The housing has air intake ports, exhaust ports, and provisions for spark or glow plugs and fuel injectors.
The eccentric shaft transfers the Wankel engine's produced energy to the transmission, axles, and, eventually, the wheels.
Whereas the conventional crankshaft converts the pistons' up-and-down movement into rotational movement, the eccentric shaft relays the engine's rotation into shaft rotation.
What Are The Strokes Of A Rotary Engine?
As mentioned earlier, the Rotary engine is a four-stroke engine, just like most piston-cylinder cars on the road today. Each of the three concave sides of the rotor goes through all four combustion strokes.
Each time one side of the rotor completes a combustion cycle, the eccentric shaft rotates once. Thus, when one rotor apex makes a complete rotation inside the housing, the eccentric shaft would have rotated three times.
Check out this video for a more detailed and visual explanation of how a rotary engine works:
Rotary Engine Advantages And Disadvantages
Compared to conventional piston-cylinder engines, Wankel engines have plenty of advantages that stem from their simple design.
However, rotary engines also fall short in some aspects compared to piston engines, which we see in almost every modern internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle today.
Rotary Engine Advantages
Here are the advantages of the rotary engine over the piston-cylinder engine:
Simple design - fewer moving parts typically lead to higher reliability. The rotary engine does not need camshafts, connecting rods, or over 40 other moving parts that you usually find in a piston-cylinder engine.
Smooth engine operation - due to the absence of the pistons' up-and-down reciprocating masses, Wankel engines run more smoothly. For the same reason, rotary engines can rev very high compared to most piston-cylinder engines.
Higher power-to-weight ratio - due to the simplicity of the design, rotary engines are pretty light. Moreover, a rotary engine typically produces more power than a piston-cylinder engine with the same displacement. For example, the legendary Mazda 13B-REW turbocharged rotary engine gave the 1999-2002 RX-7 a whopping 280 h.p. using only 1.3 liters of engine displacement.
More linear power delivery - Unlike a piston's power stroke that lasts for only one of its four movements per cycle, a rotor's power delivery lasts longer due to its rotational movement. This longer delivery results in a much smoother power output throughout the RPM range.
Compact size - due to the simple design and high power-to-weight ratio, the rotary engine is more compact than piston-cylinder engines with the same power output. This compactness makes the vehicle lighter and allows for easier packaging and shipment.
Disadvantages Of Rotary Engines
Here are the drawbacks of rotary engines to conventional piston-cylinder engines.
Poor fuel economy - rotary engines typically run rich in terms of the fuel-to-air mixture. Moreover, Wankel engines have lower compression ratios compared to piston-cylinder engines. This combination leads to more unburned fuel coming out of the exhaust and often to a lot of backfiring.
High emissions - Due to the exhaust's unburned fuel and engine oil, rotary engines are less environment-friendly than modern piston-cylinder engines.
Rotor seals - combustion only happens in one section of the rotary engine's housing, thus leading to temperature differences within the engine. As the rotor rotates, its apex seals undergo constant contraction and expansion, which leads to poor sealing and inefficient power production.
High oil consumption - rotary engines inject engine oil directly into the housing to lubricate and maintain the apex seals. This oil gets burned and expelled through the exhaust port in the process, thus leading to more frequent oil top-ups.
What Cars Have Had A Rotary Engine?
Apart from the Mazda RX7 and RX8, some of the car's rotary engines have powered.
Skoda 1000 MB (concept only)
Wankel Spider
Curtiss-Wright Mustang
Mazda Cosmo
Citroen M35
Mercedes-Benz C111-V1
Chevrolet Corvette XP-897GT
Mazda Rotary Pickup (REPU)
Mazda 787B
Although rotary engine vehicles have been around since the 1960s, one can't help wondering why they aren't as commonplace as piston engines today. After all, the Mazda rotary engine cars have proven the engine's mettle, even in prestigious races like the 1991 Le Mans.
Well, the main culprit is the rotary engine's high emissions. The 2012 Mazda RX-8, for example, couldn't meet EURO 5 emissions regulations anymore.
Nevertheless, in January 2023, Mazda officially brought back the rotary engine in the new MX-30 R-EV. However, the rotary engine in this crossover electric SUV is only meant to extend the vehicle's driving range by charging the traction battery.
To Finish
Rotary engines can reach higher RPMs in automotive applications than most piston-cylinder engines. For example, a modified Mazda RX7 or RX8 can reach 10,000 to 11,000 RPM in real-world settings.
Some enthusiasts have achieved up to 30,000 RPM from small model rotary engines in controlled laboratory or workbench experiments.
Thank you very much for reading. We hope we were able to help you understand more about the RPM limit of rotary engines.

Q: Iterating Values in Angular 9 from LocalStorage I have a problem displaying a nested value from Localstorage in Angular. The problem is on the second *ngFor. The first *ngFor display well. The second ngFor has an error of "TypeError: Cannot read property 'toUpperCase' of undefined"? I don't know why the is toUppercase since i didn't use uppercase here

HTML
<mat-list-item role="listitem" *ngFor="let bookmark of bookmarks">
     {{ extractNameFromJson(bookmark[1]).id }}

                   {{ }}

 </mat-list-item>

TS
 getAllBookmarks() {
   this.bookmarks = Object.entries(localStorage);
   console.log(this.bookmarks);
 }

 extractNameFromJson(obj) {
    obj = JSON.parse(obj);
    return obj;
  }

A: You need to get the value of each bookMark as a variable in *ngFor first. You cannot have a function call while extracting a variable from a loop using ngFor. One way can be to have a pipe which does this filtering for you while looping, or another way could be to use ng-container to loop and only show lis if your condtion passes.
<ng-container *ngFor="let eachBookMark of bookmark">
    <ng-container *ngIf="extractNameFromJson(eachBookMark[1]) as data">
        <ng-container *ngIf="data.cuesData">

                {{data | json}}

        </ng-container>
    </ng-container>
</ng-container>

EDIT:
if you want to change the bookmarks array in your ts, maybe you can do this:
this.bookmarks = this.bookmarks.map(([first, second]) => {
    return [first, JSON.parse(second)];
});

Now, if you have done this, then your HTML can be simply:
<mat-list-item role="listitem" *ngFor="let eachBookMark of bookmarks">

        <ng-container *ngIf="eachBookMark[1].cuesData as cuesData">

                {{ eachCue.description }}

        </ng-container>

</mat-list-item>

EDIT2:
this.filteredBookmarks = this.bookmarks.reduce((acc, [first, second]) => {
    const parsedOb = JSON.parse(second);
    if (parsedOb.cuesData) {
        acc.push([first, parsedOb]);
    }
    return acc;
}, []);

<mat-list-item role="listitem" *ngFor="let eachBookMark of filteredBookmarks">

                {{ eachCue.description }}

</mat-list-item>

All the above filtering, (map/reduce) would happen at the place where you are populating bookmarks.

A: Update as requested
TS:
 getAllBookmarks() {
   this.bookmarks = this.extractNameFromJson(Object.entries(localStorage));
   console.log(this.bookmarks);
 }

 extractNameFromJson(obj) {
   obj = JSON.parse(obj);
   return obj;
 }

HTML:
<mat-list-item role="listitem" *ngFor="let bookmark of bookmarks">
  {{ bookmark[1].id }}

      {{ cue.description }}

</mat-list-item>

Original Answer
The second *ngFor syntax is incorrect
Inferred from what you have posted, this is what you need.
Update: added function extractNameFromJson

         {{ cue.description }}

Assumed you need to show description from the screenshot, you can show startTime or endTime as well.
Hope it helps!

The standard deviation of sample data is given by replacing the denominator (N) by (N-1). The reason for doing this is that, it gives a better estimation of standard deviation. Practically, for value of N greater than 30, there is not much difference and we can use the above formula.

Plaka Neighbourhood Guide
The most famous Athenian neighbourhood of Plaka is definitely a top attraction for visitors. Its picturesque streets, historic landmarks and lively shops make it a must-see. Just be prepared for the crowds.
The Neighbourhood of the Gods
Hugging the base of the Acropolis, the area extends from Filomousson Square, roughly at the intersection of Kidathinaion and Adrianou streets, down to Monastiraki. The best way to see Plaka is to simply wander its lanes, chasing glimpses of the Acropolis between the neoclassical buildings, Byzantine churches, cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops. The prime sights are, of course, the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum. But do give yourself time to visit smaller gems that highlight less familiar aspects of Greek culture, like the Museum of Greek Folk Art, the Folk Instruments Museum and the fine private art and antiquities collections at the Frissiras and Kanellopoulos Museums.
Every corner of this neighbourhood is Instagram-worthy.
Anafiotika
Squeezing between Anafiotika's white-washed dwellings is like exploring a Cycladic village. Indeed, this old quarter was founded by workmen from the island of Anafi. The attraction was double: familiar terrain and cheap land, as the area had been inhabited by refugees and slaves since antiquity. Anafiotika's boundaries are loosely marked by two churches: the 17th-century Agios Georgios tou Vrahou (St George of the Rock) on the south and Agios Simeon on the north. Cats seem to perch everywhere, lace-trimmed curtains ripple in the breeze, the smell of fresh laundry fills the air, and pocket-sized yards are crowded with clay and tin planters brimming with flowers and herbs. Follow the road as it narrows into a path; you'll see a makeshift sign directing you towards the Acropolis via Theorias, a stone-paved walk around the Acropolis. Double back towards Agios Georgios for a view extending towards Lycabettus ill that brings the city's landmarks to almost eye level.
Agios Nikolaos Ragavas
Centuries of being battered by rain and wind has exposed the outer walls of Agios Nikolaos Ragavas and the columns of the ancient temple on which the 9th-century church is built. Standing at the corner of Prytaneiou Street and the Epiharmou steps, this small basilica makes an interesting juxtaposition with the sliver of the Acropolis visible behind it. Agios Nikolaos' worn exterior does not match the rich interior of what was once the private church of a Byzantine emperor's family. Curiously, the church bell hangs inside. Known as the 'bell of the Resurrection', it's only rung ceremoniously on March 25, Greek Independence Day. The Ottomans had stripped Orthodox churches of their bells, but this one had remained hidden, so Agios Nikolaos was the only church that could toll at independence.
Agios Nikolaos Ragavas dates back to the 9th century.
The Monument of Lysicrates is right on a popular café-covered square.
Monument of Lysicrates
The Monument of Lysicrates sits amid an excavated square on the edge of Plaka, almost perpendicular to Hadrian's Arch and directly below the Acropolis cliff. The square's shaded cafés are a popular meeting point and offer just enough quiet for some inspired journalling, much like Lord Byron who penned part of Childe Harolde here. The monument tends more towards the odd-looking than the comely: a podium topped by a solid tower with embedded Corinthian columns. In ancient times, the street was packed with many similar monuments erected by wealthy sponsors of the drama festivals at the nearby Theatre of Dionysus as a symbol of their patronage. If the design looks familiar, it probably is: it has been replicated in gardens in the UK, US, and elsewhere. Plaka natives refer to the site as the 'lantern of Dimosthenes', as the orator is said to have prepared his speeches here.
The Pikionis Pathway
When Callicrates and Ictinus designed the Acropolis, they probably didn't set out to create perfection. Yet this is the standard that Dimitris Pikionis had to match when he was tasked with laying the path from Dionysiou Areopagitou to the Acropolis gate. Completed in 1958, the access road ingeniously applied modern technology to recreate an ancient craft, even using chisels and picks to give the shimmering stone carpet an aged look. Pikionis instructed the masons to choose stones of different shapes, sizes, and colour and also did not allow the ground to be levelled so that the builders would have to adapt their work to the terrain. As a result, few visitors to the Acropolis today realise that the road is not ancient but was laid just a few decades ago.
This road isn't as old as it looks.
Every house in Plaka is a masterpiece.
You won't be able to stop yourself from snapping photos in Anafiotika.

Benizelos Mansion
If, like most people, you imagine Athens as a city of columned promenades and temples, the Benizelos Mansion will take you by surprise. The oldest house in Athens presents a completely different picture of its architectural traditions long before the grand neoclassical design of the modern state's capital. The austere stone façade, with its multiple yet small double windows more closely resembles mountain style than anything classically-inspired. But the beautifully restored 16th-century residence is typical of the Byzantine and post-Byzantine style preserved in the city's churches, right down to the arched portico around the inner courtyard. High-ceilinged rooms open to the courtyard, preserving the impenetrable exterior—a typical element of Byzantine architecture's introverted, protective design. Medieval residences were functional too, so look for the storerooms and an olive or grape press in the rear.

How to pay for reparations in California? How about taxing the rich?
Pearson to slash jobs, warns on profit
Published: Jan. 21, 2016 at 8:15 a.m. ET
Simon Zekaria
LONDON-- Pearson PLC on Thursday said it is launching fresh cost-savings worth half a billion dollars and plans to ax 10% of its workforce world-wide after cutting its earnings guidance.
The London-based company, which makes most of its revenue from educational services in the U.S., announced it is cutting 4,000 jobs and said it had underestimated the impact of trading pressures across its key markets.
The educational products specialist plans to simplify its structure by merging businesses and focus on fewer, bigger opportunities.
Pearson has raised $2.5 billion from disposals over the last three years, including its flagship publishing asset, the Financial Times newspaper, to fund its growth across global education, which includes textbooks in Western markets, digital learning programs and English-language schools.
In August last year, Pearson sold its 50% non-controlling stake in the publisher of the Economist magazine for $731 million. The disposal followed its sale of the FT Group, which includes the Financial Times newspaper, to Nikkei Inc. of Japan for $1.32 billion.
But Pearson Thursday said rapid growth in employment and increasing regulation in the U.S. has resulted in higher-education enrollments falling approximately 10% to about 19 million in 2015 from a peak of around 21 million in 2010.
It also said certain enrollments in the U.K. have fallen and purchases of textbooks in South Africa had dropped significantly.
"In combination, these factors have reduced Pearson's operating profit by approximately GBP230 million from its peak. We overestimated how quickly those markets would return to sustainable levels of revenues and profits from their peak," the company said.
It also warned that profit would be lower next year as it absorbs the costs of its reorganization, which are forecast to hit GBP320 million ($451 million) in 2016.
However the company said this restructuring will yield savings of approximately GBP350 million, including approximately GBP250 million this year, and Chief Executive John Fallon said Pearson has "solid grounds" to expect a boost in the medium term.
Pearson expects to report adjusted operating profit of GBP720 million for 2015 and believes this figure will reach GBP800 million in 2018, based on a recovery of its business in the U.K. and U.S.
"We are moving quickly to implement this restructuring and are planning to complete the majority of it by the half-year, and all of it by the end of the year," Pearson said in a statement.
"Our competitive performance during the last three years has been strong, but the cyclical and policy related challenges in our biggest markets have been more pronounced and persisted for longer than anticipated," said Mr. Fallon.
"We are today announcing decisive plans to further integrate the business and reduce the cost base, rationalize our product development and focus on fewer, bigger opportunities."
Pearson's shares jumped 15% as investors reacted favorably to the company's update, with analysts saying the measures taken reflect the group's outlook.
"We are broadly encouraged that Pearson has decided to redouble its efforts to meet external and internal challenges," said Shore Capital's Roddy Davidson.
Pearson has booked hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings in recent years to counter a slowdown in mature educational markets and boost its push into emerging economies, such as Brazil and China, where there is greater demand for learning services.
It intends to propose an unchanged final dividend of 34 pence a share, giving a total dividend for 2015 of 52 pence a share, up 2% year-over-year on 2014.
News Corp, which owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, competes with Pearson's book publishing, business-news and education divisions.

Whether out of the pulpit or in, your appearance matters—The work in which we are engaged is a responsible and exalted work. Those who minister in Word and doctrine should themselves be patterns of good works. They should be examples in holiness, cleanliness, and order. The appearance of the servant of God, out of the pulpit and in, should be that of a living preacher. He can accomplish far more by his godly example than by merely preaching in the desk, while his influence out of the desk is not worthy of imitation. Those who labor in this cause are bearing to the world the most elevated truth that was ever committed to mortals.—Testimonies for the Church 1:446.
Your clothes preach to your people—Carefulness in dress is an important item. There has been a lack here with ministers who believe present truth. The dress of some has been even untidy. Not only has there been a lack of taste and order in arranging the dress in a becoming manner upon the person, and in having the color suitable and becoming for a minister of Christ, but the apparel of some has been even slovenly. Some ministers wear a vest of a light color, while their pants are dark, or a dark vest and light pants, with no taste or orderly arrangement of the dress upon the person when they come before the people. These things are preaching to the people. The minister gives them an example of order, and sets before them the propriety of neatness and taste in their apparel, or he gives them lessons in slackness and lack of taste which they will be in danger of following.—Testimonies for the Church 2:610.
Ministers negligent of their apparel wound those of refined sensibilities—A minister who is negligent in his apparel often wounds those of good taste and refined sensibilities. Those who are faulty in this respect should correct their errors and be more circumspect. The loss of some souls at last will be traced to the untidiness of the minister. The first appearance affected the people unfavorably because they could not in any way link his appearance with the truths he presented. His dress was against him; and the impression given was that the people whom he represented were a careless set who cared nothing about their dress, and his hearers did not want anything to do with such a class of people.—Selected Messages 3:251.
Inappropriate dress can destroy your influence—Some who minister in sacred things so arrange their dress upon their persons that, to some extent at least, it destroys the influence of their labor. There is an apparent lack of taste in color and neatness of fit. What is the impression given by such a manner of dress? It is that the work in which they are engaged is considered no more sacred or elevated than common labor, as plowing in the field. The minister by his example brings down sacred things upon a level with common things. The influence of such preachers is not pleasing to God.—Selected Messages 3:251.
Neglecting the body is not the humility that savors of heaven—But this voluntary humility, this will-worship and neglecting of the body, is not the humility that savors of heaven. That humility will be particular to have the person and actions and apparel of all who preach the holy truth of God, right and perfectly proper, so that every item connected with us will recommend our holy religion. The very dress will be a recommendation of the truth to unbelievers. It will be a sermon in itself.—Selected Messages 3:251.
Cultivate courtesy and a quiet dignity—The minister must remember that favorable or unfavorable impressions are made upon his hearers by his deportment in the pulpit, his attitude, his manner of speaking, his dress. He should cultivate courtesy and refinement of manner, and should carry himself with a quiet dignity becoming to his high calling. Solemnity and a certain godly authority mingled with meekness, should characterize his demeanor. Coarseness and rudeness are not to be tolerated in the common walks of life, much less should they be permitted in the work of the ministry. The minister's attitude should be in harmony with the holy truths he proclaims. His words should be in every respect earnest and well chosen.—Gospel Workers, 172.
On this page I will give important information about the Ministerial Department.

Association of Free Radicals and the Tissue Renin-Angiotensin System: Prospective Effects of Rhodiola, a Genus of Chinese Herb, on Hypoxia- Induced Pancreatic Injury
The renin-angiotensin system has long been recognized as crucial factor in the regulation of the systemic blood pressure and renal electrolyte homeostasis. Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of a local reninangiotensin system in a variety of organs. A recent study of the pancreatic renin-angiotensin system showed that chronic hypoxia significantly increased the mRNA expression for angiotensinogen II receptor subtypes AT1b and AT2. The activation of the reninangiotensin system may play an important role in cellular pathophysiological processes. Angiotensin II enhances the formation of reactive oxygen species via the activation of xanthine oxidase or NAD(P)H oxidase. The reactive oxygen species can cause oxidative damage in the pancreas and other tissues either directly or indirectly via the formation of other radicals such as reactive nitrogen species. Rhodiola therapy may protect hypoxia-induced pancreatic injury in two ways. It prevents hypoxia-induced biological changes by increasing intracellular oxygen diffusion and efficiency of oxygen utilization. Alternatively, it reduces hypoxia-induced oxidative damage by its antioxidant activities. Additional experimental data are required to fully elucidate the mode of action of this herbal drug.

I had cancers on my shoulder and back for years. I just kept piling on more layers of ever-bigger bandages to sop up the blood. They hurt constantly as they spread. I couldn't find comfortable positions to sleep in, couldn't use a seat belt, or wear heavy clothes in winter.
So I made my peace and prepared for departure.
Then I got a gal pal. Girlfriends won't let you get away with that stuff. I finally followed through on many lapsed promises to her by going to a clinic. First time I'd been to a doctor in maybe ten years. He expressed concern. Said I could either spend megabucks I didn't have for surgery, or hundreds on some expensive cream that might not work. I didn't consider myself worthy of either. What was my life really worth? What was I contributing to anyone else's?
I drove home thinking that maybe – just maybe – not for myself, but for my family and lady friend, who seemed to see some lingering potential in me, I might dig up the money for that cream.
I climbed the steps from the woods still lost in uncertainty. The matter was decided for me when I found a tube of the stuff in my medicine cabinet. I live alone. I have no idea where it had come from.
But the story did not turn all Glory of God and Magic of Merlin in an instant, perhaps because I was still gray with doubt, or maybe because I had major lessons to learn yet. I tried the cream for weeks, but it only dug deeper, wider, more painful holes.
So I stopped using it. I really didn't care anyway. I'd feel just as at home on the next plane of existence. But my new lady friend in England (it was a Facebook relationship; we hadn't actually met yet) wasn't having any of that. She had an idea. Since I sent healing to others all over the world, she suggested, why not zap some through myself while I was at it?
She had to keep nagging me. That whole physician heal thyself thing seemed vain, foreign, unacceptable. But every once in a while I did give it a shot.
I headed off to Europe, expecting to live only another year or two.
At our favorite sites, we felt the sacredness, the power, the spirit of the land itself. Christians built churches there centuries ago on spots pagans had already venerated. You can feel the Nature spirit, and the Christ love, empowering and clarifying each other. – In Holy Cross Abbey, outside Tipperary, I stood between relics of The True Cross. Wearing my bag of talismans, I lifted my arms, feeling immense power flooding in from on High. – At the top of the Castle of Edinburgh, St. Margaret's tiny private chapel opened its sacred aura for all. I felt to be in one of the earth's radiating centers of love, enfolding all and everywhere in compassion. I felt intensely blessed and profoundly at peace. – We felt early Christian passions mingling with ancient Nature faiths in Rosslyn Chapel, where relics may have been hidden.
In the crumbling shells of centers for worship I felt the surging, sometimes joyous, sometimes agonized and desperate faith of churchgoers from ancient centuries, and of masons who had built those holy sites. An ancient place of worship is much more than tombs and history. It is passion left in the stones by masons as they chipped it together. – It's babies lost in fields by poor farmers and grieving parents who couldn't make it in for services. – It is need, it's fulfillment, and it's an unquenchable quest. – It is unknowable mysteries; and a deep silent knowing. A building is only sacred to the degree that it taps into something that could never be contained within its structure.
I felt connected to so many special centers. Like a spider weaves its web with many links, and as he moves around he feels vibrations from every point. As with karma, every ripple feeds every other. I carried these spirits within me; just as part of me lived within them.
I was losing my sense of physical presence. Lynden and I were sick for months and I stayed home. The winter broke records and I stayed inside. I got a devastating earache and deafness in Italy, and could hardly have felt more isolated.
As I healed from this, though, it was like I was building a new body. It was like I was buzzing.
We spent six months touring ancient monasteries and spooky sites. Besides pieces of the cross we saw one of the thorns, bones of apostles, the robe and belt of St. Francis; touched a column Jesus may have leaned against while preaching. We spent hours holding and reading the miraculously materialized letters of the theosophical mahatmas. I set the talismans bag down on one of the bound books of these letters, on the baptismal font in Rosslyn Chapel, and the tomb of King Arthur in Glastonbury. Some sites throbbed with power. I felt every part of me coming alive, shining, re-forming itself.
I'm back in the states now, but I am not the person, nor is this the body that left here.
Where the cancer had been there are now only tiny white spaces, and even the freckles are gone.
It's as though someone or something has erased them.
I was deaf off and on as a kid and have always been somewhat crippled by the residue of that. I let others do the talking while I skulk off into silence. My humor comes from trying to psychologically survive a childhood with no friends of any kind; from making a total hash of trying to figure out what people around me were saying.
But since that months-long earache, my hearing, my mental processes and capacity, and my eyesight have all been improving.
I walk around wondering what that sound is. I stop and it stops. I walk and there it is again.
It turns out I can now here and be distracted by my pant legs rubbing against each other; the clink and scrape of the buckle as I lean in against a counter. I puzzle out a sound I have never heard before and it turns out to be various layers and rhythms within my own breathing.
Inside, with all doors and windows shut. I hear something running loudly along the deck and look out, expecting to see some large mammal, but it is only a tiny bird. I can identify different flying birds by the sounds their wings make against the air.
I can see hummingbirds sitting quietly in trees 50 yards away and know their gender. I can smell things I never could.
Just as I am besieged by offers to sign up for Medicare, which maybe I could take as a time of sliding away toward the end, I am pain free, all my senses are growing sharper, and I am churning out deeper wisdom and more powerful books than ever before.
