5. Liturgical Theology
Faith - not only as the ecclesiastical ideology and one's fidelity to the Saviour Christ but as a teaching also - is a fundamental and inviolable prerequisite of ecclesiastical worship. It is the motivating power of the worshiping faithful, expressed by external acts and moves that comprise its ritual. Worship materializes faith and renders it a group event, while it simultaneously preserves and augments it, thus helping one to delve deeper into it.
Orthodox worship is Trinity-centred in its topics and its structure. Its strength and its hope spring from the Triadic God. The Church liturgically offers up "glory to the Father, and the Son, and to the Holy Spirit".
The Eucharist "anaphora" (referral) is addressed to God the Father. The Son is also the recipient of the offered sacrifice, given that He is "of the same essence" and co-enthroned with the Father, and He is the central axis of that sacrifice as well. He is "the offerer and the offered and the recipient" during the Divine Eucharist. Ecclesiastical worship is the continuation of Christ's redemptive work, and it incorporates the Mystery of Divine Providence. Christ is the "ecclesiast" ("churchifier") Who gathers us unto His Body and the faithful are the "churchified" who participate in His worship and are recipients of His glory. Those who receive Holy Communion "worthily" (II Corinthians 3:16) prove to be a temple of Christ, and the mystery of Faith is officiated inside their hearts.
But ecclesiastical worship is just as equally Spirit-centred, because the Holy Spirit is also present during worship, the way that the luminous mist was present when it "overshadowed" the Disciples and the entire Mount during the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5). Orthodoxy's true worship is the Holy Spirit's prayer-rousing energy inside the heart of the faithful, as is the case with the Saints, who are the true worshipers of God because they are participants of the celestial worship. The entireness of worship is the work of the Holy Spirit, Who "holds together the entire establishment of the Church". The prayer, "Thou Heavenly King, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth…" is the one that inducts us into every Service.
In divine worship, a "communion with the Holy Spirit" takes place. Everything is governed by the sanctifying power of the Paraclete. At the peak moment of the Sacrament, we beseech the Holy Spirit to "come upon us" (the officiators) and upon the "holy gifts" (the bread and the wine), as well as upon "all of the people", and to perform the "spiritual sacrifice", by transforming the offered gifts into the Body and Blood of Christ and uniting all the participants into one body.
The Church's worship stands out for its "traditionality". This is the most dynamic carrier of ecclesiastical tradition. "Tradition" in the Church is the perpetuation of the Christian mode of existence; it is life in the Holy Spirit, which can lead to the Church's true purpose: Man's theosis and the sanctification of Creation. The truly faithful person will persist in those elements that comprise the genuine ecclesiastical stance. That is what Faith is basically all about: for one to remain faithful and unswerving towards the will of God and the Tradition of the Saints. The criterion for the genuineness of ecclesiastical worship is its degree of "traditionality". This also contributes towards the unity of local churches, both contemporaneously and across Time.
The liturgical texts provide the liturgical theology, which constitutes a pristine expression of the ecclesiastical dogma. That is why worship becomes "a school for piety" that teaches the faith, with the support of the media of art, and especially iconography - that "most eloquent book" of the Church, as Saint John the Damascene had said. Orthodox worship throughout the ages has shaped the mentality of the faithful, as one can see from certain church-loving personalities such as the heroic General Makriyannis or the pious author Alexandros Papadiamantis. A person's association with worship is an indicator of his ecclesiastical demeanour.
It therefore stands to reason that one can speak of an Orthodox and a non-Orthodox worship, because the Orthodox element underlying worship is not composed of faceless structures; it is the faith that is being materialized by these structures. Ever since ancient times, one's confession of faith was linked directly to worship. Worship remains the sermon of truth throughout the ages, as personified by the Saints and the "remembrance" of the redemptive events found in the Old and the New Testaments. However, beyond being the sermon of faith, ecclesiastical worship also contributes towards its own defence, by fending off heretical fallacies. It is already a known fact that ecclesiastical theology is usually formulated as a response to heretical provocations. This is evidenced by the feast-days and the special church services dedicated to Holy Fathers and Ecumenical Synods. Vespers and Matins provide us with the theology of every single feast-day, in lieu of a theological arsenal for the faithful. The observant faithful becomes, for all intents and purposes, a theologian of the Church.

Q: '&' character in Criteria API We want to formulate hibernate criteria query where we can escape & character.We are using Oracle database.
In oracle ampersand is the special character.For example ,
if Company is a db table and it has a column named company_name .There is every possibility that a company name can have &, like 'a&b Inc'.
A hibernate criteria like this is not working.
 Criterion criterion = Restrictions.eq("company_name", "a&b Inc").ignoreCase();
return cr.add(criterion);

When I execute this , although there are company name column values that matched "a&b Inc" it not returning  any value.
I tried to look other answers in stack overflow , but didn't help me much.Please help me understand in how do this.
I referred to this
Using hibernate criteria, is there a way to escape special characters?
But didn't really understand on how to use it.Any example would be really helpful.

I hope all is well in the midst of this epic winter break! Here is a Friday email even if it isn't Friday.
Mostly I want to touch base as we start the semester. We have, as we always do, lots on tap for this spring semester.
On January 21, the Monday before classes begin, you can observe MLK day with the Fort Collins and CSU community at the annual MLK March from Old Town Square to the Lory Student Center. If you plan to March and would like to volunteer to hand out ACT postcards and stickers as marchers assemble (approximately 10-11 a.m.), please email Carol. She's looking for a handful more volunteers.
Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday February 3-5 Cara Finnegan and Kevin Barge will be here as our external, self-study reviewers. I think most of you who are involved have received emails from Eliza detailing when you are scheduled for a meeting with them. Check with her if you have questions.
February 7 ACT is hosting a screening of TransMilitary at The Lyric. This screening will help kickoff our build up to the 4th annual festival (see dates below) and is our first "ACT Year Round" event.
February 13 is the Gravlee lecture with Daena J. Goldsmith. She is likely to arrive on the 12th and there will be lots of chances to interact with her on the 13th so keep that day free.
End of the month many of us (about 20, if my count is correct) will be in Seattle for WSCA. March sees a bunch of us head back to Seattle for SCMS.
In fact, March is fully of great stuff. March 5 is the ACT Human Rights Film Festival kick-off at Odell's. And then the first two weekends of April are the festival itself. Opening night is April 5 and we will have films all weekend through the 7th. Closing weekend is Friday April 12 and Saturday April 13. In between, encore screenings from the first weekend happen at The Lyric.
Wow. Just looking at those dates and what they mean for us, reminds me what a rich and vibrant community we have created.
All faculty need to send their evaluation materials to Eliza by Friday, the 18th. Here is a link to our SharePoint faculty resources folder. NTT faculty, please use the form in the NTT folder in Faculty Resources folder to complete your annual activities reports. You will also find a document that comes from the department's Policy and Procedures Manual detailing required documentation.
TTT faculty please run an Annual Activities Report from FSAS. You will note that your downloaded document is in the same format at the Annual Activities report form. Edit it in word, then send that report plus supporting materials to Eliza. Even though the form may have hyperlinks to the materials you have uploaded, it will work better for us if you send us those documents. Clear as mud?
We will hold our annual end-of-year celebration at Café Vino on Friday, May 10 the last day of classes. Family—however you define that—is invited, food and drink is provided. Wee hoo!
I have attached the faculty meeting agenda and some supporting documents to this email. The most important thing is the discussion on NTT appointments, rank, and changes in governance. As I note in that document, we are required to address the changes to the Faculty and Academic Professionals Manual on section E. These changes include new ranks, new appointment types that impact all faculty. I have drawn on the excellent work of an ad hoc committee for the proposed changes. The committee was made up of the current NTT representatives (Heather and Elizabeth S), the Executive Committee (Katie G and Hye Seung Chung), and an additional Senior Teaching Appointment faculty Kristen Slattery. The changes proposed here are important and will offer our NTT faculty greater professionalization, access to additional compensation upon promotion, while also asking more of the NTT faculty in service and administration. All around, these changes recognize the central role NTT faculty play in the department's, college's, and university's success.
I really do hope you all had the breaks you wanted and deserved. We worked hard to get through fall semester. We have amazing opportunities in front of us.
As for me, I had a wonderful break. Elizabeth and I had good meals together on the official holiday days. I spent time petting Panda and baking bread. And I pretended I was a faculty member rather than chair, devoting days on end to writing. Man that felt good! And I took the time to go to Denver and experience some wonderful art including seeing and hearing my boyhood hero Itzhak Perlman perform the Beethoven violin concerto with the Colorado Symphony. Wow! And then over this coming weekend, Elizabeth and I will be in San Diego for a brief, pre-semester break.


There's a wealth of information on this website, but if you also like to sit down with a good book, have a go at these.
Several great reads are available from the speaker at our opening Zeppelin event in October 2017 – Ian Castle. This is his latest, published in April 2018, available from all good booksellers and Amazon.
Another speaker in October was Stephen Bourne, a local historian and prolific author. For our Zeppelin commemorations, he was specifically dealing with the role of Black servicemen and families during the First World War, which he covers in his book Black Poppies – also on Amazon.
Still the definitive history of Burgess Park, well illustrated with photos, and full of memories collected from people who lived in the area which became Burgess Park. Written by Tim Charlesworth, it was published in 2000, so it doesn't cover the most recent regeneration.
Avaliable from Amazon at a mere £5, with all proceeds going to the Friends of Burgess Park!
Find out the story of the man behind the 70+ buildings he was involved with funding, with illustrations of most, if not all of them. Available from the publishers and in many other outlets.
A fascinating look at the (now frequently underground) rivers and waterways of London. The book covers the Earls Sluice, wich runs among the northern boundary of the Park, under Albany Road, and also, of course, the Grand Surrey Canal. Available from Amazon (so the author gets a well-deserved commission) for £7.49.


The beginning of the wet season in Mozambique has brought catastrophic flooding in several areas of the country. There are over 170,000 displaced people, 250,000 impacted, and 91 dead.
GiveSamaritan's Purse is responding to the disaster by providing clean water, plastic sheeting for emergency shelter, blankets, jerry cans, and soap for people who were forced to leave their homes.
We are trucking clean water to seven water distribution points to provide tens of thousands of liters of safe drinking water each day. Our team is also giving hygiene education to nearly 35,000 people and has built 11 hand-washing stations and more than 100 latrines.
One group of approximately 57,000 people has become an official camp called Chiaquelane. Samaritan's Purse is providing 75,000 liters of water per day and additional latrines each day to the people in this camp.
A second group of about 8,000 people have gathered around eight schools. A third group in Guija was originally only accessible by boat or air, but roads have become passable again with the water receding. There have been 112 reported cases of diarrhea in this camp, and cholera and malaria are a concern.
However, sickness is becoming more widespread. There have been 507 cases of diarrhea and 205 cases of malaria reported in the official displacement camp in southern Mozambique, creating a need for medical assistance. Currently there is one doctor serving 53,000 people in the main camp.
Conditions are likely to worsen as the peak of the rainy and cyclone seasons approaches between mid-February and late March. River levels continue to be high across the region and are rising rapidly.
The south and center of the country have been placed on red alert after facing the heaviest rainfalls since overwhelming floods killed around 800 people in 2000. Fresh rains have spread to Zambezia, which is in northern Mozambique. The number of displaced people in that province has risen from 10,000 on Feb. 1 to 48,000 on Feb. 4.
Waters continues to rise and rain is still pouring down in the area. Staff members in Samaritan's Purse Zambezia office are assessing the situation.
Please pray for displaced people who don't have basic necessities and our staff members, who had to be evacuated from our base in the area, as they try to meet the needs of the suffering.

Q: Why am I getting errors populating fields working with Sequelize? I'm working with Sequelize on an Apollo-Server backend. So far it's been straightforward, but I'm now experiencing a bit of an issue refactoring my code. Specifically, I'm having trouble populating certain fields.
Looking at the code snippets I included, both the first and second versions of the comment query work as expected. However, the third and fourth result in Error: missing FROM-clause entry for table \"votes->votedBy\" and Error: Include unexpected. Element has to be either a Model, an Association or an object. errors respectively.
I have to populate the User field multiple times (addedBy, commentedBy, votedBy). The same goes for Vote, so rather then having to repeatedly type out all their logic, I decided to store them in the respective variables, as seen below. What I've noticed is if I use only one instance of the stored fields variables (commentVersionTwo) it works. Any additional use of the fields variables (commentVersionThree and commentVersionFour) and it breaks. What am I missing here?
User and Vote Fields
import models from '../models';

const { Profile, User, Vote } = models;

export const userFields = {
  model: User,
  include: {
    model: Profile,
    as: 'profile',
  },
};

export const voteFields = {
  model: Vote,
  as: 'votes',
  include: {
    as: 'votedBy',
    ...userFields,
  },
};

Comment Query
import { userFields, voteFields } from '../populate-fields';

export default {
  Query: {
    commentVersionOne: (
      parent,

        include: [
          {

            model: User,
            include: {
              model: Profile,
              as: 'profile',
            }
          },
          {
            model: Vote,
            as: 'votes',
            include: {
              as: 'votedBy',
              model: User,
              include: {

        });
    },

    // Error: Include unexpected. Element has to be either a Model, an Association or an object.
    commentVersionFour: (
      parent,
      { commentId },
      { models: { Comment } }
    ) => {
      return Comment.findByPk(commentId, {
        include: [
          {
            as: 'commentedBy',
            ...userFields
          },
          {...voteFields}
        ],
      })
        .then((foundComment) => foundComment.get({ plain: true }))
        .catch((error) => {
          throw new Error(error.message);
        });
    },
  }
}

A: Managed to get it to work. So, rather than use plain objects storing the respective fields, I used functions which return said (fields) objects.

Marlboro senior captain Cathy Chude considers herself a shy, quiet person when she isn�t running track. Unfortunately for her opponents, when Chude gets on the track, she suddenly transforms into a confident, competitive and outspoken leader.
Chude�s top events are the 55 hurdles and shot put. She ran a personal-best 8.91 in the 55 hurdles at the Boston Holiday Challenge at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center last month � a school record � and has the fastest the time in Central Mass. events this season at 9.0 seconds, according to Marlboro�s fifth-year coach Mark Vital. Chude also runs on the 800 relay team and is one of the area�s top pentathletes.
At last year�s District E Championships, Chude finished second in the hurdles and fourth in the shot put.
Earlier in her career Chude struggled in the shot put, but Vital is hoping she can crack the top 10 at the class meet.
Vital is also impressed by Chude�s leadership qualities.
When asked what her strengths are, Chude, the two-time Mid-Wach B champion in the hurdles and shot put, didn�t hesitate to say speed.
If Nashoba Regional first-year coach Andrew LeBlanc is feeling any pressure after taking over for longtime coach Don Gribbons, you would never know it from the Chieftains� 4-0 record.
It�s just Nashoba�s third year of indoor track, but the talented defending Class C champions are looking primed for a repeat performance.
�I know I have big shoes to fill,� LeBlanc said of Gribbons, who guided the cross-country and track programs for 35 years, and along with girls� coach Ley Ricker, started the indoor track program.
The Chieftains are led by senior captains Connor Megee and Joe Doyle.
Millbury�s Tim Mazeika was looking at the some old pictures recently showing a small, skinny kid, who was barely 5 feet tall and maybe weighed a little more than 80 pounds.
That once scrawny seventh-grader is now a strong 5-foot-10, 128-pound track dynamo, and one of the best middle- and long-distance runners in Central Mass. Mazeika, and his friendly rivalry with Grafton�s Will Faden, have been the talk of the Southern Worcester County League over the past few years.
Mazeika hasn�t run the 2 mile much � he concentrates on the 1,000 � but enjoys competing against Faden, the T&G Cross-Country Runner of the Year.
On Thursday, the two finally squared off as Faden defeated Mazeika in the 1,000. Mazeika admitted he was a little tired after winning the 2 mile.
Mazeika is also the Woolies� best indoor high jumper.
Millbury (6-0) has been on a roll lately. The Woolies are the defending SWCL indoor track champions, they captured the SWCL cross-country championship last fall and will be defending league SWCL champions in spring track. Mazeika and his buddy and classmate Andrew Piscitelli have been the main cogs through it all. Piscitelli owns the school indoor and outdoor record in the shot put and the outdoor record in the discus.
Apologies to former Hopedale cross country and track standout Thompson Ogilvie for spelling his name incorrectly in last week�s column... On tap at Reggie Lewis is the Coaches Invitational today, while the Coaches Elite Meet is scheduled for tomorrow.

33. December 07, IDG News Service — StopBadware names MP3 site worst of the bad applications. Two consumer protection groups are asking the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate FastMP3Search.com.ar, a Website that distributes software that can be used to search for digital music on the Web. The FastMP3Search plugin disables the Windows Firewall, installs adware and Trojan horse programs, and generally hobbles the user's PC, said John Palfrey, the Harvard Law School professor who is StopBadware.org's co−director. The software is also virtually impossible to remove once installed, he added.

34. December 07, Associated Press — Three convicted in Microsoft software scam. Three people accused of scamming Microsoft Corp. by buying sharply discounted software intended for educational institutions and reselling it to nonacademic customers were convicted on conspiracy and fraud charges. Federal prosecutors Wednesday, December 6, said the trio illegally bought and resold more than $29 million worth of Microsoft software between 1997 and 2001. They allegedly formed front companies and bought existing corporations to take advantage of a program offering reduced prices on software if it's resold to academic institutions. Microsoft said it lost more than $60 million as a result of the scam. Two of the three defendants were also convicted on money laundering charges for using the proceeds to buy property under the name of their son and wiring more than $300,000 to Pakistan.

"Cathy was wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, we had a tight budget so was only able to hire her services for day of coordination and some consultation hours. She was great, we had a DIY wedding at The Farm at Pond Lily (in a barn) so there were a lot of miscellaneous details that require tremendous attention to detail and good execution. And our wedding was executed beautifully, we were so impressed with her abilities to execute and help plan our DIY wedding. She was very on top of things and was such a good sounding board for DIY ideas and suggestions. She can also be hired to help create some DIY projects as well. I was so happy that we went with her as on the day of my wedding, I had NOTHING to worry about besides enjoying myself, drinking and dancing the night away with my husband. And this is all thanks to her organizational skills and her tips weeks prior to the wedding. She had many touch base meetings with me to make sure that she understood my vision. She's very professional and extremely responsive and can be easily reached via email or phone. She's just overall an awesome person! Loved working with her!"

Great Films
By writer | April 14, 2020
Drama is a sort of literature A drama may be within the form of a novel , television present , movie , play or dance Though drama is a Greek word meaning " action ", most dramas focus more on the relationships between people than on the actions. In this sequel to the 2003 unique (additionally on the record), the Mumbai underworld don (Sanjay Dutt) starts to dwell by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi to impress a radio jockey (Vidya Balan) he's smitten with. Some felt it dumbed down Gandhism. Co-written and directed by Rajkumar Hirani, who stands accused in the #MeToo movement.
There will be no second collection of this show, it is standalone, so why not brace your self and see when you can fathom it. Curiously, it is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, who additionally labored on extremely acclaimed drama True Detective, and directs upcoming Bond film No Time to Die.
Loved Parasite? Then it is time to take a look at director Bong Joon-ho's much less-celebrated but no-less-bananas Netflix movie from 2017. It is about an evil corporation run by Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton), which is attempting to mass produce genetically engineered super pigs" for food, and one specific pig whose younger proprietor (South Korean actress Ahn Seo-hyun) will stop at nothing to maintain him out of harm's way. If nothing else, come for Jake Gyllenhaal's very dedicated performance as a deranged zoologist.
Teaming up with De Niro, Pacino and Joe Pesci, Martin Scorsese prompt The Irishman may be the cinematic occasion of the decade. There is definitely tons to love on this generations-spanning tale of hitman Frank Sheeran (De Niro) and his relationship with union boss Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino) and his own daughter (Anna Paquin). True, the movie isn't fairly a classic on the level of Goodfellas. The de-growing older expertise employed to turn the solid into thirtysomething gangsters feels rubbery and unconvincing. And the 209-minute operating time left many viewers suffering numb bum. But it surely's nonetheless Scorsese doing mobsters and unmistakably the work of a director reaching for a big inventive statement.
La Jetée is still the quick film that greatest embodies what brief film can do better than function-length movies: it tells a complex story in a condensed approach that leaves much to our creativeness, uses a visual model that you would by no means uphold over function size (no less than not without getting boring) however which is completely employed here, and at 28 minutes it's precisely the suitable size.

← A Inventive Whole Class, Whole School Method BA Drama And Movie Research (2020 Entry) →


Polytron last night released a brief video clip of platformer Fez running on PlayStation Vita.
The Canadian developer wrote on Twitter, "Oh hey, what do we have here?" Linked to the message was a Vine clip showing what the game looks like on Sony's portable.
The video does not show much action, but in-game sound can be heard.
During Gamescom in August, Sony announced that Fez would be released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PS Vita. A release date has not been announced. Blit Software is handling the port.
The original Fez was released on the Xbox 360 in 2012, after five years of development, and saw a PC release in 2013. It has since sold over 200,000 copies on Xbox 360 alone. Fish's journey to release the game was chronicled in Indie Game: The Movie.
Fez II was announced in May. However, Fish canceled the game in July and said he was quitting the industry altogether. His level of involvement in Polytron is not currently known.

Human Rights in Somalia Still Suffer
FILE - Members of the parliament, relatives carry the body of legislator Mohamed Mohamud Hayd who was shot dead in Mogadishu.
Civilians in Somalia continued to suffer from conflict-related abuses, including killings and the diversion or confiscation of humanitarian assistance by armed groups, primarily al-Shabaab.
Each year, the U.S. State Department sends Congress reports prepared by our diplomats assessing respect for human rights around the world. They evaluate how governments show respect for human dignity and individual freedoms, and they help shape our nation's foreign policies. The reports also signal to human rights defenders and activists under siege that we recognize their struggle and stand with them.
For far too many people, 2014 was defined by suffering and abuse perpetrated by terrorist groups like ISIL, Boko Haram and al-Shabaab that exploit religious discourse and divisions to advance their destructive ideologies. Meanwhile, governments in China, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere continued to stifle a free press and the development of civil society by jailing journalists, bloggers and others.
As in the previous years, the state of human rights in Somalia remains a particular U.S. concern. Civilians there continued to suffer from conflict-related abuses, including killings and the diversion or confiscation of humanitarian assistance by armed groups, primarily al-Shabaab. According to the U.N., 1,133,000 Somalis have been displaced internally and more than a million others have fled to other nations.
Clan militias and al-Shabaab continued to commit grave abuses throughout the country, including extrajudicial killings, disappearances, cruel and unusual punishment, rape, restrictions on civil liberties and freedom of movement, and conscription and use of child soldiers. Some African Union peacekeeping troops also were found to have committed sexual abuse and exploitation, including rape.
Violence and discrimination against women and girls, including rape and female genital mutilation or cutting, was widespread. Other major abuses included harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention; trafficking in persons; abuse of and discrimination against minority clans; restrictions on workers' rights; forced labor and child labor.
There is no self-importance or arrogance in preparing this and other reports. We in the United States have seen our own share of racial discord and unrest recently, so we approach this with great self-awareness. But we also understand that with regard for human rights, every country, including our own, has room to improve.
We're committed to advancing universal rights, building partnerships that will move us forward, helping every man, woman and child live up to their potential. And in cases like Somalia, we are also committed to speaking out for those unable to do so for themselves.

Unity Will Defeat Terrorism in East Africa

Q: Auto Login on debug ASP.Net Core 2.1 I am trying to auto login for debugging purposes on an ASP.net core 2.1 application I've built.
Getting the Error :

HttpContext must not be null.

The code below sits in the Startup.cs file
    // This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, IServiceProvider ServiceProvider)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        }
        else
        {
            app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
            app.UseHsts();
        }

        app.UseHttpsRedirection();
        app.UseStaticFiles();

        app.UseMvc(routes =>
        {
            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "default",
                template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        });

        app.UseCookiePolicy();

        CreateRoles(ServiceProvider).Wait();

        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            DeveloperLogin(ServiceProvider).Wait();
        }
    }

    private async Task DeveloperLogin(IServiceProvider serviceProvider){

        var UserManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<UserManager<User>>();
        var signInManager = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<SignInManager<User>>();

        var _user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync("test@gmail.com");

        await signInManager.SignInAsync(_user, isPersistent: false);

    }

This is an extension of sorts on another question I asked a while back about Windows Authentication on a Mac. Because of the nature of the application I had added Core Identity for role management even though the application still only uses Windows Auth.
Since I migrated to a Macbook for development I'm trying to autologin on build for debugging using the already existing Identity since there is no Windows Auth which is where the DeveloperLogin function fits in but I get the error mentioned above.
StackTrace:
    System.AggregateException: "One or more errors occurred. (HttpContext must not be null.)"
---> System.Exception {System.InvalidOperationException}: "HttpContext must not be null."
    at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.SignInManager`1.get_Context()
    at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.SignInManager`1.SignInAsync(TUser user, AuthenticationProperties authenticationProperties, String authenticationMethod)
    at myApp.Startup.DeveloperLogin(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) in /Users/user/Documents/Repositories/myApp/myApp/Startup.cs:135

A: For HttpContext, it only exists during http request pipeline. There is no HttpContext in Configure method, you need to refer the code during middleware.
For using Identity, you need to use app.UseAuthentication();.
Follow steps below with sigin with Identity.

*

*Configure request pipeline.
    app.UseAuthentication();
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.Use(async (context, next) =>
        {
            var user = context.User.Identity.Name;
            DeveloperLogin(context).Wait();
            await next.Invoke();
        });
    }

    app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
    });

Note: you need to call app.UseAuthentication();, the order is import.

*DeveloperLogin
    private async Task DeveloperLogin(HttpContext httpContext)
{

    var UserManager = httpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<UserManager<IdentityUser>>();
    var signInManager = httpContext.RequestServices.GetRequiredService<SignInManager<IdentityUser>>();

    var _user = await UserManager.FindByNameAsync("Tom");

    await signInManager.SignInAsync(_user, isPersistent: false);

This Pinot gris is an elegant expression of this versatile varietal. Intensely aromatic powdery floral notes give way to a palate of Asian pear, Meyer lemon and rose petal. Balanced and crisp, this wine is a great match for many dishes from chicken paella or moules-frites to pork roast. Grapes were hand-picked and brought directly to the winery in 1/2 ton totes in perfect condition. They were whole cluster pressed and placed into temperature controlled stainless steel fermenters, where they were slowly cold-fermented at 45°F for maximum varietal character. 15% of the Pinot gris was fermented in neutral barrels at 55°F to enhance mouthfeel and aged on the lees for four months before bottling.

Resources: Teaching Performed Ethnography
Performed Ethnographies about Pursuing Equity in Schooling
Tara's work with performed ethnography began in the late 1990s with an ethnographic play she wrote from my ethnographic research project on multilingualism and schooling called Hong Kong, Canada (2001). Three years later, she wrote a second ethnographic play script, Snakes and Ladders, from an ethnographic research project on homophobia and schooling. In 2010 and 2012 Tara wrote Harriet's House and Ana's Shadow, two plays about the lives of a transnationally adoptive LGBTQ family. Finally, in 2019 Tara, Jenny Salisbury and Pam Baer wrote Out at School a multimedia verbatim theatre piece about the experiences of LGBTQ families at school.
Here are some of the writing Tara, Jenny and Pam have done around using their performed ethnographies and verbatim theatre script with educators.
Hong Kong, Canada (2001)
Originally written in 2001 and published in 2003, Hong Kong, Canada is based on findings from a four-year critical ethnographic case study (1996-2000) of a Canadian high school that had recently enrolled a large number of immigrant students from Hong Kong. The play tells the story of Joshua, Wendy, and Sam, the editor, assistant editor and advertising manager of the student newspaper as they struggle with the fallout of having published a controversial issue of the school paper.
The script is published in Tara's book Teaching and Learning in a Multilingual School: Choices, Risks and Dilemmas which is available from Lawrence Erlbaum/Routledge/Taylor&Francis.
An academic article about Tara's use of Hong Kong, Canada can be found here.
Snakes and Ladders (2004/2010)
Snakes and Ladders presents findings from an 18-month critical ethnographic research study (2001-2003) on anti-homophobia education in the Canadian city of Toronto. The play tells a story of what happens when high school teachers and students in a fictional high school attempt to put on a Pride Day at their school. Coalitions are built, homophobia is resisted and reproduced, and teachers and students learn that they can't take their human rights for granted. Originally written in 2004, the script has been updated and edited for publication in the International Journal of Curriculum and Pedagogy in 2010.
The script can be found here.
An academic article about Tara's use of Snakes and Ladders can be found here.
Harriet's House (2010) and Ana's Shadow (2012)
In 2014 Tara wrote an academic article about teaching with Harriet's House and Ana's Shadow, two plays about the lives of a transnationally adoptive same-sex family, entitled "Learning from Other People's Families" in Teaching Education Journal, 25(1): 65-81.
Here is the abstract:
While the call for teacher education students to learn about their students' family and community lives remains urgent and compelling, educating teachers about the Other is tricky business. In this article I discuss the use of two performed ethnographies, Harriet's House and Ana's Shadow, to provide opportunities for teachers to learn about Other people's families in ways that work against presenting a singular, dominant narrative of the Other's experiences and positioning Other students as experts. Although the outcomes from educating teachers about Other people's families are unpredictable and do not always disrupt the prior, potentially harmful, knowledges teachers bring with them to teaching, I argue, along with Kevin Kumashiro, that ongoing labour to stop the repetition of harmful knowledges is important anti-oppressive educational work.
The article can be found here.
The script for Harriet's House can be found here.

Out at School
The first version of Out at School has been published in Tara's (2019) book Teaching Gender and Sexuality at School: Letters to Teachers. New York, NY: Taylor and Francis.


Hyatt Regency Newport has an idyllic setting.
The hotel is situated on Goat Island and surrounded by Narragansett Bay, offering the seclusion of a private island, just minutes from downtown Newport.
My partner Jennifer and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend getaway this summer and fell in love with all the hotel has to offer.
It's funny how you can feels worlds away by crossing a single bridge.
The weather couldn't have been any more perfect. Sunny, high 70's, cool breeze.
The lobby has a sleek, modern ambiance and an extremely attentive staff.
We were instantly greeted upon arrival and experienced a quick, effortless check-in process.
I was impressed by the views from the lobby and the expansive bar and sitting areas, not to mention the gorgeous fireplace which I am sure is one of the hotel's most popular features come winter!
We booked a Captain Quarters King Room for the evening. The room felt extremely spacious at 429 square feet and provided breathtaking views through oversized windows of the Newport Bridge, Narragansett Bay and the boats docked in the marina.
The bed features ultra-plush pillows, soft sheets and a thick down blanket.
There is a spacious bath with granite coutertop and Portico bath amenities.
There is also a large work desk with both wired and Wi-Fi high-speed Internet access, duel phone lines, speakerphone, voicemail, video on demand.
You will also find a Hyatt stero with iPod docking station.
Check-In Time: 4:00 p.m. Check-Out Time: 11:00 a.m.
Before checking out what the rest of the resort had to offer we headed to dinner at the hotel's onsite, outside restaurant – Pineapple's on the Bay.
Although we already felt like we were on vacation, we felt like we were TRULY on vacation the second we were seated at this outside oasis.
Between the views, the sunset, the tiki torches, the music, the cool breeze — I felt like I had died and gone to heaven!
Hyatt Regency Newport has outdone themselves with Pineapples on the Bay.
This newly renovated seasonal restaurant is not to be missed. You will enjoy delicious food and unobstructed views of Narragansett Bay and unparalleled sunsets outlined by the iconic Newport Bridge.
Pineapple's on the Bay serves the freshest seafood, grown locally, salads, sandwiches, soups and regional specialties.
Some night there is even live entertainment!
You can enjoy time by their outdoor fire pit, where kids can make S'mores and a Canon salute right as the sun sets!
For dinner we started with their chips & salsa with a side of guacamole which was extremely fresh.
Jen washed down the chips & salsa with a tasty Sangria which was super fresh and yummy!
Jennifer enjoyed a 1.5 lb lobster for her main entree!
I their Five33 Torpeo sandwich served with shaved beef tenderloin, sauteed mushrooms and jack cheese on a grilled torpedo roll.
Both of the entrees were cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!
For dessert we shared the New England Strawberry Shortcake (sweet biscuit, chantilly cream and fresh strawberries).
It was the perfect ending to the perfect meal!
On the way back to our room we noticed the hotel was showing a movie on their lawn (kid friendly showing of the Disney movie 'Cars').
People were laying out on blankets, relaxing and enjoying the perfect summer evening.
We were offered free popcorn and were asked if we wanted to order drinks!
The staff is really on top of their game!

GAY & LESBIAN FACTOR: We found Hyatt Regency to be extremely welcoming and accommodating. The managers I worked with to set up the review were very helpful and excited to be spotlighted on Gay Travel Information. We met up with another gay couple enjoying their time at the hotel from Baltimore. The two men explained how they have been visiting Newport for many years each summer and always stay at Hyatt Regency Newport. With that said, Newport in general is very gay friendly. A popular restaurant is Tucker's Bistro (150 Broadway – http://www.tuckersbistro.com). The decor alone is worth a visit to this very gay friendly restaurant. It is highly recommended, and not only by Tucker (who use to own a gay bar). Hyatt's onsite restaurant, The Windward, is also not to be missed and would make a great choice for date night! Click here for more info: http://newport.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels-newport/entertainment/dining_detail.jsp?itemDesc=fboutlet&itemId=1003102. I am without a doubt "OUTING" Hyatt Regency Newport as LGBT friendly and worthy of our business.
Everything about Hyatt Regency Newport is first class. The ambiance. Service. Amenities. Views. Location.


This simple 9-step process will ensure that any new habit you decide will help you become more successful can quickly become your default way of behaving.
This is the process for creating a powerful NLP anchor. Your anchor will enable you to access strong feelings or behaviours that you experienced in the past. You will then be able to recreate them at any time you need them as a resource to enable you to achieve a desired outcome in the present.
Dig into your memory to find a time when you were in that state.
Remember vividly what you saw, heard and felt when you were in that situation. Then make the everything you saw, felt and heard more vivid, more colourful, larger, louder to intensify the state.
Be absolutely certain that it is you who is experiencing the state.
Now anchor the state: i) choose some action to be your anchor, i.e. crossing your fingers or scratching your cheek. ii) Now close your eyes and recreate the state you wish to anchor as vividly as possible. When it looks, feels and sound as strong as you can make it, fire your anchor. Hold for 5 seconds then open your eyes and relax.
Release yourself from the state by a physical action, i.e. shaking your arms by your sides, talking about a different subject or walking around.
Test your anchor by crossing your fingers or scratching your cheek or using whatever anchor you chose. If you experience the desired state all is well, you can now use the anchor as often as you wish for the rest of your life. But do use it at least once a week to make sure that it is in good working order. If firing your anchor does not recreate the desired state go back to step 5 and repeat the exercise.
From now on you will be able to experience the desired state at any time you wish simply by using your anchor.
My next Create The Life You Want workshop is entitled "Discover What You Love Doing" it will take you through the first step to using your natural talents and abilities to become the person you can become. It is on Sunday 15th October.


SEATTLE — The Seattle City Council voted unanimously to adopt Seattle's Climate Action Plan on Monday.
The Climate Action Plan is recommended action to be taken to meet the city's goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
The plan is the result of a three-year collaborative effort between the city and community to create a blueprint for a prosperous and climate-friendly city.
"With this bold plan to reduce our carbon emissions now in place, we must now get to work on implementing the actions called for in the plan," said City Councilman Mike O'Brien.
"In the Energy & Environment Committee, we will begin exploring how to make energy use more visible to consumers and developing the tools we need to improve Seattle's home and building energy performance," said O'Brien.
The Climate Action Plan includes specific short- and long-term actions Seattle needs to meet its ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.
It focuses on on three sectors where the city of Seattle can have the greatest influence in reducing carbon emissions: transportation and land use, building energy and solid waste.
The plan also includes a section outlining how Seattle should prepare for the impacts of climate disruption it expects to occur, as well as a section on actions that individuals can take to reduce emissions through purchasing decisions.
"Climate Change" the all-encompassing un-provable scare tactic of the left, in order to fall for it, you would have to believe that Obama is trustworthy open and transparent, and that windmills don't kill millions of birds each year either.
They didn't even mention wind turbines…..
Whats wrong with improving building preformance and taking better care of solid waste?
"It focuses on on three sectors where the city of Seattle can have the greatest influence in reducing carbon emissions: transportation and land use, building energy and solid waste."
Seattle is Americas "SUCKER City"…. filled with posers and idiots.
It's refreshing to see those who LOVE oil and HATE the environment keeping their side of the bargain. Their innovative ideas, extensive knowledge of the facts and unbridled enthusiasm are a true joy to Seattle, and the world really, the more so the more dead it becomes.

Dota 2 news from China
DK manager Farseer response to rOtk situation, more change to come – with rOtk response
Update: rOtk has responded:
"I won't say much else, but thank you for your understanding. You can talk about rules, and emotion and personal relations, I can't accept any of this. If it were you, how would you respond? Oh, also, ACE is supposed to be for the good of the clubs, and the players. What about the previous agreement that any decisions would be made with players as well? No matter how you cut it, I'm a player representative as selected by the clubs and players themselves, so next time there's something like this, remember to call me. We began amicably together, let's end this pleasantly. Farewell, friend."
Source: http://t.qq.com/p/t/225376063977812
After rOtk posted, then deleted an emotional response to his leaving of DK, DK's manager Farseer posts his own response… xB is rOtk below. This is quite insightful, into many facets of the Chinese scene and ACE, and also confirms that DK is not done making changes.
Regarding what has happened today, let me make an explanation here. First, what xB has described is largely true, but contains some of his own emotions within. The reasoning for his response and the way he responded, I'm sure we can all understand. Here I want to do my best to objectively explain everything to everyone, and at the same time, I hope xB can see it.
When ACE was first formed, a major goal was to resolve the very serious problems at the time of clubs poaching players from each other, clubs suddenly disbanding, and clubs freely firing players. The clubs came to a set of agreements between each other, for players to transfer between clubs, the clubs involved must agree via discussion. Privately contacting players (AKA tapping up players, in football/soccer terminology) was forbidden. If a club decides a player is no longer needed, the club must still continue to pay the player according to their contract. If a club suddenly disbands or lacks the ability to pay salaries, then the player is entitled to continue being paid from the deposits that the clubs paid to ACE in the beginning, all the way until the player finds a new team. In here, there is content that relates to what happened to xB.
The decision to replace xB was made by the club, but the decision does not equal a voiding of the contract. Upon learning the news, xB's emotions were affected. In my communications with him, we mainly addressed a few main points. First, the club respects his opinion, and allows him to reach out to other clubs in order to find his next home. Once he has confirmed a new club, then DK will handle the transfer details, fees, etc. Secondly, if xB does not find another club suitable, then DK will continue to pay him his salary according to his contract terms, till the contract ends. After hearing these things, what xB had to say was, "If the club wants to replace me, I have nothing to say, but if the club wants to use me to make money, then that is too naive." This was the last I heard from xB, and afterwards, I saw what he had posted online.
Here, I want to tell xB why the club does not directly void your contract with the club. During this break, practically every club will face realignment and change, so what has happened to xB, will be happening at other clubs as well, it cannot be avoided. "We can, due to our personal relationships, allow xB to just go free, but other clubs may not allow their players to leave in the same manner, and ultimately if we did this, then it can make things difficult for other teams, as well as tread on a grey area with regards to regulations." Whether you believe it or not, these were the words spoken by the boss earlier, and thus our hope is to play things by the rules. As for how we address your transfer with other clubs, perhaps it will be down to the fee, or some other conditions — these are all up to the clubs to determine. I can understand the unwillingness to accept that you still need to earn money for the club even after the club has decided they don't need you, but this kind of transfer system is one that the clubs agreed upon collectively. Regardless of what kind of agreement the two clubs might make, these kinds of things don't relate to players' rights. Put simply, xB cannot lose out in this type of transfer, and we have already allowed xB to select his next club for himself, so where is this talk of the club taking advantage of players coming from? According to your logic, then it should be one club taking advantage of another, so if that is true, then why would the clubs agree to such a thing? Could the clubs truly need these comparatively small sums of money to stay afloat?
People online are now flaming the club, saying we're shady, that we're threatening to let players rot on the bench. In these past few years, which club has actually done such a thing in maliciously hanging a player out to dry without letting them play, can someone please tell me? IG and ch, their situation was ch no longer wishing to play competitively and so he faded out, iG continued paying him to the end of his contract, on this point, many other clubs that have since contacted ch can all confirm. People online are also saying that players should add a condition into their contracts, one that guarantees them a certain amount of games to compete in, otherwise the contract is null and void. I want to ask, in what sport exists such a contract? NBA? Football/soccer? Every sport has those players that barely get to play at all, those substitute players. Do you really think that clubs have eaten too much shit, and think it would be fun to spend a bunch of money paying people to sit around and not compete? Should it be that we just allow players to have this condition, and so when a player no longer wants to play with a team, they just miss a few matches and thus their contract is void? What kind of contract allows you to just up and leave before the contract is over? Or is it that you've all had no experience with contracts?
I can't really speak much more now. I don't want to, for the sake of affection, emotion, and relations, end this with emotions. As rumors have guessed, DK's changes are not over yet. Right now there isn't a clear end in sight that we can share with everyone, but I can say that the so-called 'dream team' rumored doesn't have much to do with our reality.
I don't know whether this road we're taking is right or wrong, but the cost DK will be paying is truly enormous. No matter what, you guys are our brothers. You once were, you will still remain so. Let us meet again on the battlefield.

The lighthouse at PINEY POINT, Maryland, was the first one built on the Potomac River. Its builder was John Donahoo, who contracted with the still fledling Lighthouse Establishment, to construct many of the early lights in the Chesapeake region.
Constructed of rubble stone, it was built in 1836. It is relativley short compared to many, only 28 feet tall, but its light only had to be seen for ten miles or so by ships navigating the Potomac. Like most early lights, built before the advent of the Fresnel lens, its light was produced by a chandelier arrangement of several oil lamps. A fifth order Fresnel replaced the earlier lamps in 1855. The photo at the top of the page shows the present view from inside the lantern. The lens shown, although similar in design and function, replaced the clasic Fresnel lens many years ago.
The keeper's house adjacent to the light tower was originally a single-story building, but it was enlarged several times over the lighthouse's active days. No longer an official aid to navigation, Piney Point is now part of a park owned by St. Mary's County.
The lower photo above shows the second structure that was for many years adjacent to the light tower. Originally constructed to house the large bell that served as a fog signal, as technology changed an air compressor was installed inside. The long "trumpet" that was activated by the compressed air is seen on the side of this second tower.


Umbrella sales should be brisk in Costa Rica this rainy season, especially in the Central Valley and the central and north Pacific regions. Skies are expected to dump more than average rainfall on those areas, according to Juan Carlos Fallas, director of the National Meteorological Institute. Meanwhile, the Caribbean region and the Northern Zone can expect less rain than they received last year. Fallas said the changes are due to the transition from the El Niño to the La Niña weather phenomenon. Rains should begin in the southern Pacific zone in the last days of this month, then in the central Pacific region between April 21 and 25. The Central Valley can expect rains to begin the second week of May, and rains should start in the northern Pacific region in mid-May.
Nicaraguan immigration authorities have prohibited Roberto Micheletti, former de facto president of Honduras, from entering Nicaragua and warned that he would be arrested if he attempts to enter the country, according to statements from Micheletti. He had been invited to Nicaragua by the opposition Liberal Constitutional Party to receive the political organization's highest honors at an event this Sunday. Micheletti, whose de facto government was considered criminal by Nicaragua's Sandinista authorities, said he respects Nicaragua's right to ban him from entry and he doesn't plan to visit. Honduras' exiled former president Manuel Zelaya, meanwhile, was appointed the head of a new political council in Venezuela's Petrocaribe energy consortium.
Sugar production worldwide isn't expected to be sweet this year, and some in the industry say prices in the next few months could go as high as $600 per metric ton. While production is down in many sugar-producing parts of the world, Central America is expected to export un poco (a little) more unrefined sugar in the 2009-10 cycle as compared to the 2008-09 season.
As many as 36 Latin Americans earned a slot on Forbes magazine's annual list of billionaires, and one of them, Mexican telecom magnate Carlos Slim, even took the gold. Seventy-year-old Slim squeezed past Bill Gates and Warren Buffet on the list. The net worth of Slim and his family: $53.5 billion, according to the magazine's 2010 list of billionaires worldwide.

Chevrolet Silverado Gets Intimately Acquainted With The Kerb While Leaving Car Meet
This Silverado driver will now be looking at a hefty bill after ripping a rear wheel off on a kerb while flamboyantly leaving a car meet
Drifting fail from IdiotsInCars
Remember when barely a week would go by without an embarrassing Ford Mustang car meet fail making waves on social media and clocking hundreds of thousands of views? It rarely seems to happen these days, perhaps because most of the owners likely to try a powerslidey exit are all too aware of the 'curse' and don't fancy being the next smashy viral sensation.
Owners of other vehicles are clearly happy to engage in perilous car meet shenanigans, however. Only a few weeks ago we saw a Mercedes C63 AMG driver destroy one corner of his car while doing donuts on a less than ideal surface, while here, we can enjoy the sight of a Chevrolet Silverado slapping a back wheel into the kerb during an ill-advised drift attempt.
This being a pick-up truck with nowt in the back, the rear axle swings around with very little provocation, and it's perhaps this that caught the driver by surprise. The Silverado came incredibly close to hitting a spectator, who was forced to leap out of the way.
That wasn't the only stroke of luck - the pick-up came to rest neatly on top of its detached wheel, saving the bodywork from serious damage. There'll still be a hefty repair bill, however, since the hub was ripped off along with the wheel. If you look carefully, you can see one end of the driveshaft spinning around uselessly.
There's a complete absence of background information to go along with the video, which was posted on that goldmine of bad motoring decisions, the Idiots In Cars sub-Reddit. We get the feeling the guy has previous, though - a bystander can be heard saying something along the lines of "not once, it's the second time…it's the same side."
Whether or not it's his first showboating fail, hopefully this particular occurrence taught him to lay off the throttle next time. Or perhaps just stay home.

Front page Politics The face left the anti-Russian book
The face left the anti-Russian book
Author: EDITORIAL OFFICE THE MOSCOW POST, 2022-03-14 08:03:38
Open statement of the Editorial office The Moscow Post
The anti-Russian policy and just censorship of the western IT corporations on social networks reduces mutual trust, causes outflow of users and forces them to pass to alternative platforms.
Dear readers of The Moscow Post, for many years we conveyed information to you, using all possible communication channels for your and our convenience and efficiency. An important part of our work were social networks which allow to address the reader directly, to do it in online the mode. Including, it concerns also the The Moscow Post platform in Facebook.
However recently because of aggressive anti-Russian orientation of actions of administration of the platform it became impossible to work at it. And on March 11 the General prokutarura of the Russian Federation demanded to recognize the American company Meta Platforms Inc. (belong to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) as the extremist organization and demanded to ban her activity in the territory of the country.
The reason is more than serious: the day before Meta withdrew the ban on appeals to violence against military of Russia in Facebook and Instagram. Similar illegal and even immoral in relation to Russia and the Russian military personnel the act was connected with the fact that since February 24 our country performs the special military operation on protection of the republics of Donbass.
Thus, the solution of structure and the related social networks "gives the green light" to appeals to punishment on ethnic and national sign. In fact, approves extermination of our military. Meta calls this solution temporary, without explaining on what basis it in general was entered. It is clean discrimination. Including personalized.
It is expected that administrators of the above-mentioned social networks won't delete appeals to violence and death wishes to Russians. What further - will announcements of "hunting" for our fellow citizens, their tourists, officials, businessmen begin to post in these social networks?
Won't be exaggeration to tell that the solution of Meta falls also under laws on complicity to terrorism. It is no wonder that almost immediate reaction of the Prosecutor General's Office followed
The owner of corporation Mark Zuckerberg and the officials involved in this decision would have to bear responsibility for him. But hardly the authorities in Washington will go to it, Zuckerberg's actions work for the information war declared on Russia by the countries of the West...
Permission not to delete appeals to violence over our citizens belongs to the territory of Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia and also to the states of Transcaucasia. Writes Lenta.ru about it.
To however poison us there will be no Lord good - many countries, including such large as China, India, Mexico, Turkey, many countries of Asia-Pacific and Latin America didn't support unprecedented economic sanctions against Russia. As don't support also information war concerning our state. And not only his institutes, army, government. But also all Russian in general - up to the ban on participation of cats from Russia in the international exhibitions.
Present case with approval of violence against Russians unprecedented. Will solve court, however the probability of support of a public prosecutor's initiative is high. That is in the nearest future the Meta company can be recognized as extremist in Russia.
Also the State Office of Public Prosecutor demanded from the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR) to initiate proceedings in Meta relation "in connection with existence of signs of the crimes provided by Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Terrorism promotion") and the point "a" of Part 2 of Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation ("Arousing hatred and hostility with threat of use of violence")".
Access to social network Facebook was blocked on the territory of Russia still on March 4 in reply discrimination of the Russian media and information resources. And since March 14 in the territory of Russia the access and to Instargam will be blocked.
But we will be frank - discrimination of users from Russia in the same Facebook was much earlier. This social network by right is considered odious even in the West - its founder and the key beneficiary of Meta Mark Zuckerberg Americans a nursery of censorship and the tool of political U.S. authorities.
Similar practicians who, by the way, occur not only concerning citizens and institutions of the Russian Federation but also other objectionable states conducting independent policy already led "Meta" to enormous outflow of users, fall of profit and and trust around the world.
In connection with the above, and especially after confirming the facts of Meta's resolution of harassment, threats and insults against Rossi citizens, without waiting for a court decision on the lawsuit of the Prosecutor General's Office, The Moscow Post removes all pages related to the publication on the social network Facebook.
The Moscow Post continues to be present on social networks such as Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, our channel on Yandex.Zen and the publication's account on Youtube. As before, there you will have access to our latest news and materials, as well as the ability to feedback the editors.
And the owners and curators of Meta Corporation want to wish sanity - in the historical future, such discriminatory actions and approval of violence inevitably turn against those who do this.

The Foreign Ministry recalled that hostilities are being conducted away from the nuclear power plant


You'll need to add your own 18650 battery, and be careful about polarity while installing it, since putting it in the wrong direction would destroy the charging chip. Some sellers also stuff "Raspberry Pi" keyword in the product title, and they often do this for search engine optimization (SEO), but at least some people have shown it to work with a Raspberry Pi board too. It's unclear whether it can act as a basic UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) without status. Has anybody tried?
re: UPS use, it looks like this board is a TP4056 and a boost converter, both directly connected to a battery, so it would work, kind of, for a low-power load. If that is the case, I'd recommend against it for two reasons: first, the TP4056 has a 1.2A absolute maximum battery output current at battery voltage, which would be shared between the battery and the loads, so don't expect to draw 1A through the shield continuously, let alone 4A. Second, the heat put off by a linear charger such as the TP4056 is significant and, being placed directly under the battery, would surely reduce battery life and possibly damage it by charging when hot.
Also, it's pretty silly using a battery to feed a device using linear voltage regulators, a design choice all too common on the famous boards.
If you need a power-path controller, better to get a power-path controller. TI's bq24195 is efficient, highly integrated, relatively easy to design-in, provides status and control via I2C, runs cool, and isn't too expensive.
Wow that's pretty cool! I have built countless battery-to-5V adapters using a wide range of DC-DC converters myself. Some of them are unable to power an Attiny85 which doesn't consume enough to keep them running. Others fried some devices because they don't react fast enough to current variations. Others are not able to power an ARM SBC. And others fry from time to time. Each time I have to pick the iron to fix something.
This one looks very very interesting, especially for the form factor and the fact that it provides a 3V output, instead of seeing 5V turned into 3V+losses via an LDO on board. I do have some doubts about the claimed 4A output under 5V (written on the board) since most DC-DC chips have a 4A max MOSFET, thus it's more likely 4A under 4.2V but let's try and see. Given that the 3V output is announced at 1A, it's possible that they included an LDO connected to the 5V output.
I'm ordering one to test it. What would be nice for small boards would be a similar one, smaller, using 14500 batteries. These ones are small and cheap and often more than enough to power any small board.
So this is about the same as a powerbank you buy at the MediaMarkt, without the 18650 battery, and with a 3V output?
I too would like to see a smaller one for 14500 batteries.
This specific "18650 Battery Shield" is obviously designed only for low-powered microprocessor based development boards such as Arduino and ESP8266/ESP32. It is not meant for development boards which require more power, like Raspberry Pi, ODROID, and similar derivatives like Banana Pi, Orange Pi, etc..
Oh great ! I've ordered a couple to test them.
I've changed the battery on my Thinkpad which didn't charge anymore. Out of 6 cells, 5 of them are perfectly working and only one was dead.
Is it 3V or 3.3V output?
I've not tested it yet personally, as I made the order yesterday on Ali.
But I think it won't be 3.3V. Do expect 3V – 3.1V, not more.
In my opinion v3 module does not differ in output voltages, but rather in battery protection functions.
That could be a cheap solution for "always-on" (I mean : can survive short term power outages), or portable PI Zero projects.
So I'll test piCorePlayer (on Pi Zero W) + PAM8403 5V amp on batteries, embedded in a portable speaker. I miss a portable squeezebox client for my multiroom audio solution to be complete.
– the 5V output is 5.0V, but the chip employed (FP6298) uses resistors to match a 0.6V reference and supports up to 12V output, so those wishing to modify it to output 5.2V to improve stability of micro-USB powered boards could easily do it by adding one resistor on top of an existing one.
– the so-called 2A output (or 4A as written on the board) is overrated. I managed to get around 1.6A out of it to power my bike's light, but simply adding a USB power meter in the middle was enough to make it cut-off, indicating I was extremely close to the limit (I just happen to know that this light drains 1.6A from 5.0V based on measurements using regular 5V batteries). I haven't checked how this cut-off is implemented, I suspect they've put a MOSFET in series with the DC-DC chip, I'll have to check, maybe with a solder drop it can be disabled.
– the power switch only cuts USB, there's no way to disable 3/5V output when not used.
– the charging circuit is indeed a TP4056.
As a conclusion I'd say that the only benefit I'm seeing here for hacking compared to a regular power bank is the availability of a 3V output. The fact that it's not insulated and you cannot power it off means you can't let it lie on your desk in the middle of other stuff, at the risk of causing a short-circuit, so for most use cases I tend to find it less convenient than a regular USB power bank. It could be nice for hacking on ESP8266 that want 3V though.


I am looking for a large floppy green dinosaur-like plush with light yellow scales down his back and a light yellow tummy. It is probably about 30 inches long. I don't know the brand sadly, but it was sold at Giant Eagle stores for Valentine's Day, 2011. Hence why I can't find it now, even though it wasn't very Valentiney at all – just a large adorable plushie, but a seasonal plush I guess.
I also emailed Giant Eagle customer service to see if I could still get one, but the only help they gave me was that the company that distributed it was Far East Brokers, and I was told they don't sell to the public.
My family is going through a lot of rough things right now, and for some reason this particular plush reminds me of a simpler time, and I regret not buying it when I had the chance.

Henry Drawing Machine Two goes to London Posted: 11 October 2021
September 23, 2021: The London Science Museum collected Henry's Drawing Machine Two and a donated artwork, from Elaine's residence in Manchester.
For the first time in over 60 years, Elaine's family no longer possess one of their father's beloved drawing machines.
The machine, which has remained inoperable since its return from the American leg of Cybernetic Serendipity (1968), now forms part of the Museum's permanent collection.

Elaine and Sean O'Hanrahan were able to interact with the public as they leafed through more than 50 original Henry pictures in display folders.
The response was overwhelmingly positive.
