Q: Clicking radio button doesn't show other div I'm new to bootstrap and angularjs and I'm trying to create something rather simple, but as it seems there's some kind of problem I can't see.
I want to show a div if the value of the radio equals true and hide it if the value of the radio is false. This is the code I have so far - I looked into examples in the internet, they all seem to do the same like I do.
I haven't defined any controllers so far, just this html file (JSFiddle):
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">

        <form>

                ...

            ...

                    Wunschpartner

                            <input type="radio" name="preferredDealer" value="false" ng-model="preferredDealer" data-ng-value="false" checked> Nein

                            <input type="radio" name="preferredDealer" value="true" ng-model="preferredDealer" data-ng-value="true"> Ja

            Test: {{hasOne}}

                    Name
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Garage Max Muster">

                    PLZ
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="1234">

                    Ort
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Musterhausen">

        </form>

Interesting enough, if I replace the radios with a text field having ng-model="preferredDealer" and type true into it, it'll display the div - as soon as I change it to something other than true, it'll hide.
What am I missing here?

A: This is a known bug in Bootstrap 3:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/4516
using data-toggle prevents the model to be updated.

    <form>

The 2009 Yamaha R1 is like no in-line-four cylinder sportsbike ever produced. It's simply sensational.
The Yamaha R1's ultra-short-stroke engine has a cross-plane crankshaft, with its crank pins set at 90° and has irregular firing intervals, which is technology lifted directly from Valentino Rossi's factory YZR-M1.
MCN road tester Adam Child gives us a sneak preview of what we can expect from the new-for-2009 Yamaha R1.

I don't have time to read. Because of that I listen to audio books on the go, and it's really great. During the last ear I've consumed a dozen of novels (yes, non technical books), can you believe this? I did it while walking, driving or riding. Listening to the books is great.
I also listen to audio podcasts,lectures, and radio programs available as audio files or as a stream.
But what to do with video presentations from youtube? There is some great content there that I would not want to miss. On the earlier stages of my evolution I was using the Firefox plugin called dwhelper, which can save (most of) youtube videos in the files in mp4 format. Then I'd copy it to my iPhone to play using the VLC application.
When I walk or drive I can't watch the iPhone screen. I listen. You'll be surprised, but most of the presentation slides are pretty much useless for the audience. You can listen to the audio and visualise what the speaker refers to. With presenters like Steve Jobs it was easy – there were no program listings on his slides. It's not difficult with most of other speakers too – they read from Powerpoint slides anyway.
Then copy this URL to a converter service that can extract the MP3 out of it. So far I've been using free service at http://www.vidtomp3.com. In some cases it works very fast, in some cases it's slow, but it does the job. Copy the mp3 to your audio player and consume the info on the go. This is all it takes.
P.S. If you of better ways to consume info, please share.
P.S.S. If you believe that we already have too much of the information to consume, do not follow my advices. Consult with your therapist.

Here's a mp3 to one of the best books I have ever read/heard. Yes it's a plug, but none-the-less a riveting listen and worthy of your consideration.
Do follow the same option of saving in mp3 format the videos for offline listening. It is a nice way to catch up with ever increasing amounts of data and knowledge when free and do not want to look at a screen. We could use this mechanism while waiting in a queue or simply lying in the bed with the smart phone at our disposal. At times voice is all you need to follow the content and this helps a great time saver and makes you feel updated on things. Do have personal agenda like listen to a video or podcast on a regular basis but do not get to do that always. It is relaxing as well as you feel someone is taking you through the details instead of putting your brain to work.

The liberation of Palestine will liberate Israel, too
Today marks the United Nations Global Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israel's occupation of Palestinian land continues to defy international law. New and expanding settlements effectively choke the possibility of a two-state solution.
Divisions between Israel and Palestine have been exacerbated by US foreign policy that has appeared to disavow Palestinian claims for justice. That a new administration is about to be inaugurated in the US is a glimmer of hope.
Processes underway at the International Criminal Court to hold both Israel and certain Palestinian factions accountable for violence is another hopeful sign in a year that the truth of human inter-dependency has risen abundantly to the fore.
The time for words of condemnation has long passed. If global bodies and governments cannot act effectively to end the impasse, civil society must step into the breach – as it did when the non-violent tools of sanctions and divestment from South Africa were invoked to hold the apartheid government accountable.
The people of Israel and Palestine cannot be mere interested observers; they must drive the agenda to achieve a peaceful and sustainable solution for themselves and each other.
As Archbishop Tutu wrote in Haaretz, in 2014, when politicians and diplomats fail to come up with answers, responsibility for brokering a sustainable solution rests with civil society, business, the religious community – "and the people of Israel and Palestine, themselves".
The Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation reiterates the Archbishop's call on Israeli citizens for courageousness; to support the pursuit of freedom for the people of Palestine from humiliation and persecution.
Ultimately, the Archbishop wrote, "the liberation of Palestine will liberate Israel, too".
"It is a cause that the people of Israel should support."

Q: Avplayer is not playing with swift 3 (Xcode 8) please help me log is shown playing but no sound is heard
let url = URL(string: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/kargopolov/BlueCafe.mp3")
         let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(url: url! as URL)
        let player=AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItem)
        player.volume=1.0

        player.play()

        if (player.rate != 0 && player.error == nil) {
            print("playing")
        }
        else
        {
            print("error",player.error)
        }

A: You need a to assign the player to a variable that doesn't go out of scope, eg
class ViewControllerA: UIViewController {

    var avPlayer: AVPlayer!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Do any additional setup after loading the view
    }

    override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        let videoURL = NSURL(string: "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4")
        avPlayer = AVPlayer(url: videoURL! as URL)
        let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: avPlayer)
        playerLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 3.0 / 4.0)
        self.view.layer.addSublayer(playerLayer)
        avPlayer.play()
    }
}

A: Declare Player Variable before
 var playerT : AVPlayer!

Now you able to play song from url
let url = URL(string: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/kargopolov/BlueCafe.mp3")

                playerT = AVPlayer(url: url!)
                playerT.volume = 1.0
                playerT.play()

                if playerT.rate != 0 && playerT.error == nil{
                    print("Playing")
                }else{
                    print("Error Playing")

Feds expect pay equity legislation to pass quickly
Canada's federal government is introducing pay equity legislation that will require federal employers -- in the private and public sector -- pay women the same amount as their male counterparts for the same job.
Canada's Parliament building
Pay equity legislation introduced by the federal government is "long overdue," said MP Terry Sheehan.
Sheehan, who was a participant on the pay equity task force which provided recommendations to create a proactive regime to deal with pay equity issues within the federal public and private sectors, said he expects the newly introduced legislation will pass quickly.
Called an Act to Establish a Proactive Pay Equity Regime within the Federal Public and Private Sectors (Pay Equity Act), Sheehan said the legislation will ensure more women are fairly compensated for their work.
"We need to make sure that employers provide the same wages for the same work," he said.
Elisabeth Ballermann, secretary treasurer of the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) said in a press release the proposed legislation "a good first step. Unfortunately, many women are still going to have to wait years before they see some justice in their wages."
NUPGE is one of Canada's largest labour organizations with over 390,000 members.
Data collected shows that some women only receive between 67 cents and 88 cents for the same work as their male counterparts, despite having the same education and years of service in the job. Indigenous women may earn even less, he said.
The legislation, if passed as expected, will see the creation of a commissioner who will lead the education process for federal employers, create a process of appeal and monitor and audit equity in the federal workplace.
Employers with more than 10 employees will have up to three years to come up with a pay equity plan.
"This is long overdue. It's necessary and I am proud to be part of it," Sheehan said.
He couldn't say why such legislation was never implemented in the past.
"I'm just pleased that we are correcting a situation that has been wrong for a very long time," he said.
Sheehan said he's heard several stories during the hearings about women who have taken their pay equity issues to courts and the lengthy process resulted in them being 'robbed' of equal pay as they retired and passed away before decisions were ever rendered.
"There were some who never enjoyed their due pay and those stories were very touching," Sheehan said.
He believes many older working women are more affected because they feared reprisal if they raised the issue with their superiors.
The same issues and stories were heard across all fields of employment for women, he said.
Under a proactive pay equity regime, employers will need to examine their compensation practices and ensure that women and men working in federally regulated workplaces, including the federal private sector, the federal public service, Parliamentary workplaces and Ministers' offices, receive equal pay for work of equal value.
There are currently 362,700 women in the federal private sector, accounting for 39 per cent of the workforce.
Data collected from Sheehan's office also shows that in 2015, 93 per cent of women in the private sector worked in companies with 100 or more employees. During that same year, the banking industry, the telecommunications and broadcasting industry and the postal services and pipelines industry jointly employed 75 per cent of women in the federal private sector.
Women are highly represented in clerical/administrative jobs, marketing, sales and services. Other predominantly female jobs include bank tellers, financial sale representatives and accounting clerks, but not all may be undervalued, Sheehan's office reports.
Pay equity in the federal public service will result in increasing women's earnings by $92 billion, the data indicates.
The implementation of the legislation is expected, by 2026, to contribute $150 billion to the Canadian economy.


All Zooka attacks | Boom Beach. All about the Game!
← What quantity of "ice" statues is optimal? Poll.
As the saying is every man to his own taste! And I think we can say the same about players in our favorite Game Boom Beach! For example, someone likes to attack with Scorchers and Tanks sweeping away all enemy buildings… Someone prefers to attack only the Headquarters using Warriors. In any case if the chosen strategy gives the result it's right strategy! And the rest isn't important!
I've always liked to watch all Zooka attacks! Maybe it's because I don't know how to do it. Every time when I try I make some mistakes (for instance throw Smoke Screens not in time or consume all Gunboats energy before Zookas reach the Headquarters etc). In a word it's not mine tactic! 🙂 But there are players that use this all Zooka tactic perfectly in Boom Beach and they can destroy almost every base with only with Zookas! Don't know why but these players somehow remind me of jewelers.
P.S. This video belongs to Youtube user IMPERA CATALISS. Here is link to his channel.

Merci beaucoup!!!!! Pour ta coopération!
Thank for the effort to translate in french!! I apperciate very much.
Great job, IMPERRA… You are very good in "smooka"!

G and I went to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizza feast at the Alamo Drafthouse last night. I expected it to be a family affair, with an audience full of kids and their long-suffering parents. But, much to my surprise, it turned out that the audience was mostly 20-somethings and G may have been the youngest person there.
We had a fine time. It was an appreciative audience and the pizza flowed freely. I had one pizza and G consumed two! The movie was what you'd expect from a Ninja Turtle movie and the crowd seemed to enjoy it quite thoroughly.
And I walked away quite enlightened as to the current fan-base for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies.
I heard the sequel is Paunchy, Pale, Post-adolescent Ninja Turtles.

The "designated exceptions" approach in the European Union and elsewhere becomes obsolete when faced with the needs of digital science to scrutinize and analyze all relevant research results pertinent to any scientific inquiry. Even the fair use exception rooted in U.S. law, while more agile on a case by case approach, is challenged by the scientific communities' need to reproduce and analyze all available material relevant to any given research project and by the ability of automated knowledge discovery tools to do just that. A more promising model for reform is the "some rights reserved" concept of private ordering that has recently afforded scholars and scientists alternative standard deals that better serve both their private interests and those of the public at large. This article explores the possibility of legislatively encouraging authors and artists in general to consider a more nuanced set of standard legal options than the one size fits all model inherited from the eighteenth century.

Jamey and Dave met around fifteen years ago at a blues jam, clicked immediately, and became the core of the group which has seen many good players come and go in that time. Bill signed on about a decade ago, and the trio have matured into a tight performing unit.
Musically, they are first rate, combining the raw edge of traditional electric blues with a distinctly jazzy quality due to the training and backgrounds of each of the members - which gives their music a uniquely PBK signature sound. Their sets feature a mix of beloved standards, modern covers, originals and obscure relics that only a music historian would recognize. True to their music-first ethos, the group has never sought fame or fortune, and indeed has never even recorded an album together.
Like so many other blues artists before them, you need to go hear them live if you want to hear them at all. You can find them performing for their loyal fans every Sunday at their home base, Jamey's House of Music, where they are the house band. The Sunday Blues Brunch is a Philly institution and features local, national and international blues artists who jam with PBK at the club.
While Philadelphia has long been known for "The Philly Sound" with numerous world beating soul and R&B groups, it is quickly establishing itself as a new nexus for top jazz and blues artists and a supporting community. The Philly Blues Kings is honored to take its place alongside these new giants, and contribute "The PBK Sound" to the blues!
Keyboardist/7 string guitarist and vocalist David "Bluesman" Reiter is a consumate multi-instrumentalist and has been backing national acts for many years, including Sydney Ellis, Frankie Lee, Sista Monica Parker, Chris Cain, Larry Garner, Kenny Neal, and a very young Shemekia Copeland (at the original Warmdaddy's). He also backed many local blues and jazz greats including Jeannie Brooks, Zan Gardner, Ron Kraemer, Greg Underwood, Frankie Alston, and our own Georgie Bonds.
Dave was a regular sideman at east coast festivals for several years, including the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland Maine, the Pocono BF, the Hudson River Park BF in Manhattan, Blues & Microbrews in Wilmington, and the annual BF in Monkton MD.
Dave contributes a notably jazzy feel to the blues, which gives PBK a sound all its own. Indeed, he is one of the finest jazz musicians in Philadelphia. While humble in nature, he is a true renaissance man with a wide ranging mastery of many fields, and can easily give Wikipedia a run for its money with an exhaustive knowledge of blues and jazz.
Since completing a Masters of Music in Percussion Performance, drummer Bill Marconi has pursued a wide range of teaching and performing experiences including: The Jimmy Bruno Trio, The L.A.Jazz Workshop Big Band, Trio Nova, The Magic Casino Orchestra (Zurich) and various orchestras and opera companies. Bill has also performed with The Bamboo Jazz Quartet, fusing jazz rhythms and Indian ragas, The Mighty Little Big Band & City Line Swing. He recently has performed with Jazz Volcano. He is currently on the teaching faculty at the Settlement School.
Bill has studied drumset with Jeff Hamilton, Greg Bissonette and Armand Santarelli among others. He has studied with world percussionists Tony Vacca, Randy Crafton and Ustad Mohammed Lutfi.
Bill also has extensive classical experience having been Principle Percussionist and Timpanist for 7 years with The Philharmonic of Southern New Jersey. He has also done stints with The Haddonfield Symphony, Bridgeton Symphony And the Whitewater Opera Company. He can be heard on the 2002 Trio Nova release "Parallel Lines", and Adam Berenson's 2002 release, " Stand In The Corner And Breathe." and the Bamboo Jazz Quartet cd,"Breath" Bill can also be heard on 2 duo recordings with Adam Berenson , "A Way Out"(2009) & A Codex of Silent Voices"(2010). A trio album wad released in 2010, "Jnana", featuring Adam Berenson on Piano, Scott Burnam on bass and Bill on Percussion.
Bill provides a steady and rhythmically complex drive to the blues.
Bassist Jamey Reilly was trained on accordian, piano and guitar at a young age, and has held down the low end since 1965 when he joined the pop group, "The Abstract Design." He has been an avowed blues lover since 1970 when he did a stint with legendary bluesman John Lee Hooker, and tried to coax Son House out of retirement. It was a reunion performance at Boston's Fenway Theatre that Jamey pulled together, with Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield that cemented his life long addiction to the blues.
Jamey has done gigging around the east coast and has backed some well known national blues names. His playing can be found on a number of CDs by various artists. He spent several decades in numerous roles in the professional audio engineering and live music industry. He pursued a degree in Physical Therapy after two separate accidents with a car and a power saw left his right hand partially paralyzed.
After spending many years on the road and living in various parts of the country, he finally set down roots in Philadelphia and joined the vibrant Philly music scene. Jamey opened the popular Jamey's House of Music, Livehouse, restaurant and bar in Lansdowne PA where PBK is the house band, hosting the Sunday Blues Brunch and Jam.
Jamey enjoys an old-school pocket-playing style (no bass solos please), and provides a solid bottom to the music on his extra long scale fretless 5 string bass. He fell in love with the low end while growing up listening to the great bass players of the '50's on his parents hi-fi, and spent a life-time seeking the holy grail of flawless bass reproduction during his many years in pro-audio. His current self-designed and built (8 foot tall!) bass rig is the apotheosis of his efforts and can be heard/felt and marveled at at his club.

On September 27, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it filed charges against an international securities dealer and its Austria-based CEO for allegedly violating the federal securities laws in connection with security-based swaps funded with bitcoins.
According to the SEC's complaint, 1pool Ltd., a/k/a 1Broker, registered in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and its CEO, Patrick Brunner ("Brunner"), solicited investors from the United States and around the world to buy and sell security-based swaps. Investors could open accounts by simply providing an email address and a user name – no additional information was required – and could only fund their account using bitcoins.
The SEC alleged that a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acting in an undercover capacity, successfully purchased several security-based swaps on 1Broker's platform from the U.S. despite not meeting the discretionary investment thresholds required by the federal securities laws. The SEC also alleged that Brunner and 1Broker failed to transact its security-based swaps on a registered national exchange, and failed to properly register as a security-based swaps dealer.
The SEC's complaint, filed in United States District Court for the District of Columbia, seeks permanent injunctions, disgorgement plus interest, and penalties. In a parallel action, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced charges against 1pool Ltd. arising from similar conduct.

Best First Cars For New Drivers
Here's a list of the best first cars that a new driver should consider. Check out our picks to find something fun, affordable and practical for your first set of wheels!
Congratulations! You're 16 and are now licensed to drive a car. In addition to this terrifying realization you've got a few thousand dollars saved up from selling lemonade during the summer to spend on a set of wheels that will hopefully carry you to freedom, but what is the best option for a first car? It depends on what you're after in a first car. Do you need to commute? Go camping? Haul friends around? Look cool? Go fast? The possibilities are endless, and best of all you can finally do whatever you want.
As a new driver, you're going to want a few staples in the first car you buy: reliability, decent performance, cheap insurance, the ability to easily find parts, something you don't mind crashing, and the ability to fix it when something goes wrong. Here are a few choices we recommend for your first car.
For the commuter: Honda Civic
Tried and true, Honda Civics are everywhere, which means parts are plentiful and cheap. You can find a 2009 (or older) Civic for $5,000 or less. The base model uses a 1.8-liter inline-four gasoline powered engine with VTEC producing 140-horsepower, gets more than 30 mpg and seats your friends. It can have two or four doors, but if you want more function you'll want four. Since it is one of the most popular and common cars on the road, it is also less expensive to insure, making it more affordable for a first time car buyer.
For the Active First Time Driver: Ford F-150
Again, we have here a tried and true machine. Early to mid 2000's Ford F-150s drive for ages. They are quite powerful and can haul almost 10,000 pounds. It is perfect for taking your friends to the lake, with your parents' speed boat hitched to the bed. The only problems facing the F-150 are the poor rollover safety ratings, and the fact that it's a Ford and that means there might be some uncommon problem at some point. So make sure you find one that's in good shape with up to date maintenance records.
If looks really matter: The Mitsubishi Eclipse
Say what you want about the Eclipse or, if you like, the Eagle Talon, but they are cars that look cool (so cool that they had to put it in GTA 4). They're sporty, curvy, only have two doors, come as convertibles and get decent mileage. The worst thing to happen to a 1998 Eclipse was its throttle cable and fuel pump recalls, which to be fair are legitimate fears but since you'd be buying it used those recalls should be fixed already. They're relatively quick, making use of the 2.0-liter inline-four gasoline powered engine made famous by the Lancer Evolution engine. If you do decide on an Eclipse, try to avoid the turbo GSX or GST versions to avoid potential performance issues in the future.
For new drivers who want performance: the Mazda MX-5 Miata
Mazda's Miata is a sports car perfectly balanced for performance. It's got two seats, is tiny and has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution which makes bending it around corners that much easier. The Miata's handling is something to behold with the car's light curb weight, and while the car doesn't have a ton of horsepower for a sports car it can be properly quick in the right hands. Like anything else on this list, it's reliable and can go for a long time. It's also cheap, simple and easy to fix, an all around great first car for the new driver who wants a fun sports car. The problem with the Miata is that it does not look cool, at least not for the years where you can find deals for $5,000 or less. As long as you don't care about what you can't see from behind the wheel, the Miata is a solid and fun choice for a first car.
A Smart and Practical Option: Honda Odyssey
Yes - it's been said that if you want to get a date, do not drive a minivan. However, there's something to be said about a car that's big, reliable, cheap, and has infinite cargo space. Picture you driving your friends in a Honda Odyssey, mobbing around town at night, and for the weekend you put the back rows of seats down to fit your sport bike on your way to the local race track. Not only is that cool, but it's definitely a choice that a mom could appreciate in a first car. They're cheap family vehicles so they're cheap to insure, are dead reliable and about as practical as you can get.

Dental veneers are a great way of transforming your smile with just one treatment, which is why they are so popular on TV makeover programmes.
They are very thin porcelain veneers which are specially adhered to the front of your teeth. Because they cover the whole front surface, they can hide many imperfections, from discoloured, chipped or cracked teeth through to mis-aligned ones.
We carry out dental veneers at our practice in Gloucester. For more information call 01452 310730 or make an enquiry.
You can read more about veneers on the British Dental Health Foundation's website.

Political Polarization's Geographic Roots Run Deep
The divide between urban and rural voters is growing everywhere: from New York City to farm towns.
| by Ian Chipman
The political divide between rural and urban voters is wide and getting wider. | Reuters/Jim Young
Red state, blue state. Conservative, progressive. Small government, big government. Among all the familiar fault lines in American politics, says Jonathan Rodden, Stanford professor of political science, the one with the deepest implications is the stark, growing divide between rural and urban voters.
"We're at a moment of extreme geographic sectionalism," Rodden told a group of students as part of the Moving Forward After Political Confrontation series at Stanford Graduate School of Business, spearheaded by Saumitra Jha, a professor of political economy. "The question about political polarization in the United States, the question about where we are, what's happening in the United States after this last election, is all about geography."
Rodden says his research on geographic polarization shows a striking correlation between population density and voting behavior that grows stronger with each passing election. In short, he says, Democrats are becoming an exclusively urban party.
"Whether it has to do with income, or whether it has to do with race, or whether it has to do with economic decline, it is the case that there is a very pronounced spatial organization of the electorate of the United States," Rodden says.
"As you go from the center of cities out through the suburbs and into rural areas, you traverse in a linear fashion from Democratic to Republican places."
He also says that this correlation between population density and Democratic voting persists no matter the size of the municipality. "It's true of the states, it's true of the counties, and, most important, it's true at the level of precincts," Rodden says.
The correlation between population density and Democratic voting persists no matter the size of the municipality.
It's not just that a densely populated state like New York tends to vote Democratic, or that densely populated counties do. Even small towns are far more Democratic than their surrounding rural areas. And tightly packed suburbs vote more Democratic than suburbs with more widely spaced homes do. And the trend has accelerated across the country in recent years.
Rodden says that this battle pitting a set of urban interests against a set of rural interests didn't happen overnight and isn't unique to American politics. However, the severity of the problem is. This, he argues, largely stems from the fact that American politics is dominated by only two parties and features a geographic system of representation. As long as this geographic polarization continues and Democrats remain an urban party, he says, they will continue to be dramatically underrepresented in legislative bodies.
Creatively drawn districts that benefit Republican majorities aren't the main culprits, Rodden says. Rather, the simple fact that districts are drawn at all disadvantages Democrats.
"When you draw winner-take-all districts, it ends up overrepresenting Republicans," Rodden says. "This is something that we often blame on gerrymandering, but it's only strengthened and furthered by gerrymandering. We end up with a lot of bias against Democrats purely because of this spatial arrangement of politics."
Rodden says the election of Donald Trump as president is just one manifestation of the divide between urban and rural voters. "This is going to be a new fault line in politics in lots of places,'' he says. "European politics is increasingly going to be a battle between urban, young intellectuals, greens, people who support the European Union — and a rural coalition that wants to pull out of the European Union." The question becomes what can be done about it?
In the United States, it would be possible to draw more competitive districts. But that would require a redistricting process that prioritized parity, Rodden says. "We certainly don't have anything like that."
Beyond that, the polarization of urban and rural interests could be diminished in a system with more parties, or one that doesn't rely on geographic representation. "Proportional representation can have the impact of reducing this geographic cleavage that emerges so naturally in a place like the United States," Rodden says.
"There is nothing about population density that automatically generates this kind of cleavage. There are lots of places that have cities and suburbs and rural areas — and suburbanization is not just an American phenomenon," he says. "But single-member-district, majoritarian systems that produce two parties that hate each other — that's the worst of all worlds."

I had been wanting to try Jamaican cuisine for a while and a jerk spice was the first thing on my to try list. A jerk spice is spicy marinade for meats that primarily consists of allspice and scotch bonnet peppers. I found a bunch of recipes out there, since the spice is a mix of a variety of spices. So I played with a few and came up with this one. Unfortunately I couldn't find a scotch bonnet pepper so I used jalapeno pepper instead, you could also use a habinero. The result was spicy but I think I will be adding more hot peppers to give it a little more kick.
Of course what better use for the marinade then to make a jerk chicken recipe. I marinated the chicken thighs in the jerk marinade overnight and roasted it in the oven, now that it is Summer time I will be trying this recipe out again on the charcoal grill. The combination of flavors in the jerk spice mix was just a flavor explosion and was not overpowering. It was spicy and not too hot, of course I wanted it a little more hot.
Marinate the chicken in the jerk marinade for a day turning a few times.
Bake in a preheated 400F oven for 40-50 minutes turning once in the middle.


This SNP is associated with a change in the protein encoded by the HEXA gene, which leads to a false positive blood test for Tay-Sachs Disease. In other words, the blood test from an individual with an i4000442(A) allele will indicate the person is a carrier for Tay Sachs disease, even though this SNP is not actually one that leads to the disease. Note however that the person may still carry (on their other chromosome 15) a "true" Tay Sachs causing allele.

Matthew 25:31–46, The nations will be gathered.
Matthew 25:31–46 describes Yeshua's judgment of the sheep and goat nations. Some see this event as occurring at the beginning of the Millennium. Others see it as a process culminating at the end of the Millennium with the release of Satan from his bottomless pit prison after which he will tempt the nations to rebel against King Yeshua. The last scenario seems unlikely, since those who follow Satan's rebellion will receive immediate judgment upon arriving at Jerusalem to confront Yeshua. They will be devoured by fire out of heaven (Rev 20:9). No mention is made in this passage of a judgment between the sheep and goat nations, there is only swift judgment upon Gog and Magog.
It seems likely, therefore, that one of first orders of Yeshua's official business upon his return to the earth will be to judge between the sheep and goats. Here he will separate the wicked from the righteous who have survived the wrath of Elohim at the end of the age just prior to Yeshua's second coming. This is like a mop-up operation after a great war. Those who have shown kindness to the saints will be allowed into the kingdom of Elohim during the Millennium, while those who didn't will be cast into the lake of fire. This appears to be an initial purging of the spiritual wheat from the chaff at the beginning of Yeshua's millennial reign. Those who are left of the nations (Zech 14:16) are presumably those who didn't take the mark of the beast and hence won't be destroyed with those who did (Rev 19:20). They showed their faith by their actions, and King Yeshua's grace will be extended to them and he will give them an opportunity to receive eternal life. Perhaps these are those who are implied in Revelation 16:2 who refuse to take the mark of the beast and worship him during the wrath of Elohim period.
Some Bible teachers view the judgment of the nations not as a one-time event that occurs at the beginning of Yeshua's millennial re.g. but as an on-going process during his reign. This could be the case, since Yeshua may give the nations time to accept his rule and learn the truth of the gospel little-by-little.
Whether those of the goat nations will be cast immediately into the lake of fire isn't clear. The lake of fire is mentioned in Revelation 20 at the end of the Millennium and in conjunction with the white throne judgment. Perhaps Yeshua will allow the goats to remain on the earth, and they will be those rebels he will be forced to rule over with his rod of iron, and who will refuse to come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem annually (Zech 14:16–21). Perhaps they're the ones who will eventually be deceived into rebelling against Yeshua at the end of the Millennium when the devil is released from the pit (Rev 20:7–10).
Matthew 24:29, 31, Immediately after the tribulation…gather the elect. Perhaps no other verse in the Bible disproves the pre-trib rapture theory better than this one.
Here Yeshua clearly states that the gathering of the saints to meet Yeshua as he is coming in the clouds occurs not only after the tribulation, but after the great tribulation (v. 21).
The tribulation and great tribulation are separate events from the wrath of Elohim, which John describes as being part of the seven trumpet and seven bowl judgments (Rev 6:17; 11:18; 15:1; 16:1).
Matthew 23:13–33, The Eight Woes. There is a one-to-one correlation between the eight benediction of the beatitudes of Matthew 5:3–12 and the eight maledictions or woes Yeshua pronounces on the hypocritical religious leaders of his day in Matthew 23:13–33.
The kingdom of heaven is opened to the poor, humble or contrite in spirit (Matt 5:3), while the door to kingdom of heaven is shut by and to the prideful and exclusive religious hypocrites (Matt 23:13).
Those who mourn will be comforted (Matt 5:4), while greedy and pretentious religious hypocrites bring grief and sorrow to those they rule over (Matt 23:14).
The meek will inherit the earth (Matt 5:5) versus religious zealots who compass the earth to expand their own kingdoms to make new converts, all of whom are shut out of the kingdom of Elohim and will inherit hell (Matt 23:15).
Those who hunger and thirst for true righteousness will be filled (Matt 5:6) versus those who pursue a false, man-made religious system that involves twisting YHVH's word for their own carnal purposes (Matt 23:16–22).
The merciful will obtain mercy (Matt 5:7), while the religious hypocrites major in spiritually minor things and overlook mercy and the weightier matters of the Torah (Matt 23:23–24).
The pure in heart will see (the heart of) Elohim (Matt 23:8), while hypocritical religionists put on an outward or superficial show of "purity," but in reality, they overlook and neglect the inward purity of the heart. This equates to Torahlessness, which is equivalent to spiritual blindness and misses the heart of Elohim (Matt 23:25–26).
The peacemakers will be called the sons of Elohim (Matt 5:9) versus Torahless religious hypocrites whose actions cause strife, confusion leading to spiritual uncleanness and death, which is the opposite of peace or shalom,which is physical and spiritual well-being in all areas of life (Matt 23:27–28).
Those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake will inherit the kingdom of Elohim (Matt 5:10–12) versus religious hypocrites, while claiming to be followers of Elohim, are themselves the persecutors of YHVH's righteous saints (Matt 23:29–33).
What does hosanna in the highest mean?
Matthew 21:9, Hosannah in the highest. The simple Hebrew phrase hoshana rabbah has more depth and spiritual significance than first meets the eye. Let's explore it.
The phrase hoshana rabbah, in part, derives from Psalm 118:25, a psalm which is called the Great Hallel (Heb. meaning "praise"), and was the climax of a series of psalms that the priests would proclaim or sing from the temple in Jerusalem on various feast days including the Feast of Tabernacles.
Psalm 118 is a prophetic psalm, which speaks of the coming Messiah who was the hope of the Israelite people. The words of this psalm prophetically points to Yeshua the Messiah in every way. That's why the crowds proclaimed "hoshana in the highest, " at Yeshua's entry into Jerusalem, for upon him, they had pinned their highest hopes of a Messianic figure who would deliverer them from their oppressors (in this case, the Romans).
The actual Hebrew words in Psalm 118:25 are ana YHVH hoshiah na, which can be translated as "I beg you YHVH save now," (Green's Interlinear), "Save now, I pray, O YHVH" (KJV), or "O [YHVH], please save us!" (The ArtScroll Stone Edition Tanach).
The phrase "Hosanna in the highest" was an added exclamation of the people, and is not a direct quote from the Tanakh. In Hebrew it would be hoshiana rabbah or hoshanna rabbah, which, according to Jewish understanding, is the name of the seventh or last day of the fall biblical Feast of Tabernacles (or Sukkot).
It was on this "last great day" of the Feast that the joyous water pouring ceremony occurred, and when the Jews prayed to receive rain from heaven to water their crops including the latter (spring) rains and the former (fall) rains. In the arid region of the land of Israel, rain was received as a gift and a favorable blessing from heaven, since it meant that the crops would flourish and famine would be averted.
Similarly, it was on Hoshana Rabbah ("the last day of the feast," John 7:37–39) that Yeshua encouraged his followers to come to him as the spiritual River of Life. This would result in the dry ground of their spiritual lives being quenched, and in their becoming a river of life like him resulting in abundant spiritual fruits of salvation of lost souls coming to Yeshua (i.e. the regathering of the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Matt 10:6; 15:24).
This phrase hoshana rabbah can also mean, "save us O great one," since the Hebrew word rabbah can mean "great one." The term rabbi (the title for a Jewish Bible teacher) originates from this word. Rabbi literally means, "my great one," which is why Yeshua forbad his disciples (and us) from taking this word as an ecclesiastical title for themselves, or from calling someone else by that title (Matt 23:8). This is a title that should be reserved only for Yeshua himself (Matt 23:10)!

It takes a village to start a business
Running a business can feel like a never-ending uphill climb, and will make you seriously consider your life choices. Don't give up though! After reaching the ripe age of five, we've compiled some of our top advice for navigating those early years so you and your business thrive.
Good Beans wouldn't be where we are without business support early on. After spying an advert for an incubator The Trampery were launching, we cobbled together an application and delivered it after the deadline had passed. Thankfully they gave it a read and offered us a place at their new workspace in Poplar Docks. For one year we were able to nurture Good Apples as we were known then, and have access to advice, desk space and the chance to meet similar young businesses.
A couple of years later we landed a similar incubator at Allia, providing us the next step on our business journey. Having free office space was brilliant, however, the most valuable result of these programmes was the people we met, and if there's one piece of advice when starting up, it's to meet as many people as you can (and keep their details on file).
We took this advice when Good Beans relocated to the West Country last year. A drink with an old business contact of Ella's led to a big list of names and organisations to check out. We went along to a Good Business Club event to meet some local start-ups, and got part time desks at FutureLeap, Bristol. We also got in touch with organisations that worked in a similar field to introduce ourselves and ask if they wanted to meet, virtually or over coffee. Although it felt a bit awkward at first, everyone was more than happy to chat, probably because at some point they have been in the same situation. Sometimes, we would share our deck to gather their feedback, but mostly it helped us feel more at home and confident talking about ourselves.
There's also a business side to these meetings, as the more people that know you and what you do, the more chance they pass on your details to a potential client. You never know what that meeting can lead to, so be open to everything.
Consider co-working
Anyone who has started a business knows that it can be all consuming at times. Since the pandemic, working from home is becoming the norm, which has its benefits (hello no commute) and drawbacks. Working from home restricts the people you can meet, which are not only valuable for your business but for your sanity too.
Co-working spaces offer a great way to get out of the house and change your scenery. Often there will be business courses and networking opportunities on offer, and flexible options mean it shouldn't break the bank to try one out.
Business advice minefield
Businesses are often started by one or two founders, and until you can employ more people, you have to wear many hats. If you want to survive, you'll have to be the graphic designer, accountant and customer service all in one. Working like this is almost impossible to maintain, and one of the reasons why 60% of all small businesses fail within the first three years. Business support is out there, and can help you fill skills gaps when you're starting up. It's a murky world though, full of scammers trying to sell you false promises of instant business success (for a fee).
If you think you need some advice, most areas have a local business hub funded by the local authority that offers free business advice and courses. Organisations like Cool Ventures that operate in South Gloucestershire, who provide training and support on all sorts of topics. Good Beans recently delivered a webinar for them on essential online marketing tools which was totally free for the attendees, and gives founders one more hat they can wear.
Just make sure to avoid online business 'influencers' and anyone offering get rich quick solutions – it's not true and all they want is your money.
Social enterprise incubators
If you're starting a business with a social or environmental purpose a social enterprise incubator might be a good choice for you. These programmes usually last a year and give you access to support, funding and contacts in one, and will continue to be your cheerleader after you graduate. Some of the biggest names in the world of social enterprise such as Football Beyond Borders, Fat Macy's and Birdsong all went through incubators, putting you in good company.
The School of Social Entrepreneurs is a great place to start and their site (and newsletter) is full of advice and opportunities. Have an idea and need a little help? Get in touch with SSEN (Sheffield), Hatch Enterprise (UK wide), Beyond Business (East London) and Grace Network (Gloucestershire).
We'll be running the Essential Online Marketing Tools webinar again on the 5th October.
If you're in need of marketing support, don't forget you can book a free consultation with us.

Water storage changes considered for Cowichan weir
Cowichan residents are meeting with government officials today in an effort to come up with a plan to improve flows in the Cowichan River.
Judith Lavoie Mar 8, 2013 10:15 PM
Low water levels beneath the Catalyst Paper-operated weir at Cowichan Lake left chinook salmon unable to swim to spawning grounds in 2012.DARREN STONE
The aim is to avert a crisis like the one that occurred last year, when low water levels left chinook salmon stuck in the estuary — where they were easy dinner for hungry sea lions — and unable to swim to spawning grounds.
In fall, the river almost ran dry and salmon had to be trucked upstream.
Local frustrations grew as the provincial government insisted on sticking to strict rules governing the amount of water held back by a weir at the junction of Cowichan Lake and the Cowichan River, where the water licence is held by Catalyst Paper. Because of those rules, water spilled over the weir, instead of being stored, until August.
The man trying to find a balance at today's meeting is Bryan Symonds, deputy comptroller of water rights for the Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry.
"I will be the person who makes the decision," he said.
"Last year there was some concern about the flows in the Cowichan River and the impact that was having on chinook, so we're taking a look at changing the way it's operated."
Two options are being considered, Symonds said.
The first would see Cowichan Lake water levels held at 20 centimetres above the current June and July levels, at the top of the weir, until July 9, when water releases would start.
The second option would be to leave the storage levels as they are and delay the lake drawdown until the end of July.
"The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has a desire to see additional storage, but there may be those who have a different opinion," Symonds said.
Some lakefront property owners are concerned about loss of beachfront if lake levels rise.
Written comments on the proposed changes will be accepted until April 5 and a decision is likely in early May.
The process will allow people to give their opinions, said Symonds, who said he does not currently have a preference.
However, the province is not prepared to take out a water storage licence, a bone of contention last year.
Cowichan Valley Regional District and other groups say water flow is a conservation issue and should be the responsibility of the province.
"The province has been very clear we are not looking at taking out a licence. We don't typically do that," Symonds said.
Catalyst has said it is not willing to take out another storage licence, and no applications have yet been received from other groups, Symonds said.
Rodger Hunter, Cowichan Watershed Board co-ordinator, said the permanent solution is raising the weir — and that, he said, should be a government responsibility.
"It's a public benefit. We're talking about a very important salmon run," he said. "It's clear that, wherever we can get some headwater storage, that's important."
The meeting will start at 10 a.m. at Lake Cowichan Centennial Hall, 311 South Shore Rd. For more information, go to env.gov.bc.ca/wsd/cowichan.html.

Powell stresses the need for policy independence from the Fed while fighting inflation

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Tuesday stressed the need for the central bank to be free from political influence as it tackles persistently high inflation.
In a speech to Sweden's Riksbank, Powell noted that stabilizing prices requires making tough decisions that can be politically unpopular.
"Price stability is the foundation of a healthy economy and provides the public with immeasurable benefits over time. But restoring price stability when inflation is high may require measures that are not popular in the short term, as we raise interest rates to slow the economy. the president said in prepared remarks.
"The lack of direct political control over our decisions allows us to take these necessary steps without considering short-term political factors," he added.
Powell's remarks came during a forum to discuss central bank independence and were to be followed by a question-and-answer session.
The speech contained no direct clues about the policy future of a Fed that raised interest rates seven times in 2022, for a total of 4.25 percentage points, and indicated that other increases are likely underway this year.
While criticism of Fed actions by elected leaders is often done in calmer tones, Fed Powell faced vocal opposition from both sides of the political aisle.
Former President Donald Trump has ripped the central bank as it raised rates during his administration, while progressive leaders such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have criticized the current round of hikes. Chairman Joe Biden has largely resisted comments on the Fed's actions while noting that the central bank's primary responsibility is to fight inflation.
Powell has repeatedly stressed that political factors did not weigh on his actions.
In another part of Tuesday's speech, he responded to calls from some lawmakers for the Fed to use its regulatory powers to fight climate change. Powell noted that the Fed should "stick to our knitting and not stray to seek perceived social benefits that are not closely tied to our statutory goals and authorities."
While the Fed has asked major banks to review their financial preparedness for major weather-related events such as hurricanes and floods, Powell said that's all there is to it.
"Decisions about policies to directly address climate change should be made by the elected branches of government and thus reflect the will of the public as expressed through elections," he said. "But without explicit legislation from Congress, it would be inappropriate for us to use our monetary policy or our surveillance tools to promote a greener economy or to achieve other climate-related goals. We are not and will not be a 'climate maker'."
The Fed will, however, launch a pilot program this year that calls on the country's six largest banks to participate in a "scenario analysis" aimed at testing the stability of institutions in the event of major weather events.
The exercise will take place outside of the so-called stress tests the Fed uses to test how banks would fare in hypothetical economic downturns. Participating institutions are Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo.

Seven Local Public, Private Schools Win State Safety Grants
By Joe Zlomek November 17, 2020
HARRISBURG PA – More than $233,000 was awarded Monday (Nov. 16, 2020), in 10 separate grants to seven different local public school districts and private (non-public) schools, as part of a total $9 million intended to keep schools safe and distributed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Winning funding in the competitive program were the Pottsgrove, Spring-Ford Area, Perkiomen Valley, Upper Perkiomen, and Owen J. Roberts districts; as well as privately operated Pope John Paul II High School in Royersford and St. Aloysius School in Lower Pottsgrove. Three recipients – Pottsgrove, Spring-Ford, and St. Aloysius – won twice with grant proposals in separate categories.
The department's "2020-2021 Safe Schools Targeted Grants" were presented to schools "to prevent and reduce violent incidents, to purchase safety and security-related equipment, and to provide for the training and compensation of school resource and police officers."
Receiving safety equipment grants were Pottsgrove, $24,744; Spring-Ford, $24,354; Perkiomen Valley, $24,996; Upper Perkiomen, $24,998; and Owen J. Roberts, $21,960; and Pope John Paul II, and St. Aloysius, $25,000 each. The maximum amount available for equipment grants was $25,000.
Receiving safety program grants were Pottsgrove, $20,000; and St. Aloysius, $2,393. The maximum was $20,000.
Receiving a school police officer grant was Spring-Ford, $40,000, which also was the maximum.
No local police departments received a school resource officer grant, for which the maximum was $60,000.
"Although the learning environment has shifted for students, educators, and families, the importance of maintaining safe school communities has not changed," acting Education Secretary Noe Ortega said. The programs provide schools "with resources to create, support, and enhance programs that address the current needs of school communities."
Both 146th Legislative District Rep. Joe Ciresi, and 147th District Rep. Marcy Toepel, both of whom represent constituencies among the grant winners, offered their congratulations to the schools and thanks to the state.
The education department's program is separate from School Safety and Security Grants administered by the state Commission on Crime and Delinquency, presented in February and which also had local recipients.

Summary of the Gospel of Matthew
This summary of the Gospel of Matthew provides information about the title, author(s), date of writing, chronology, theme, theology, outline, a brief overview, and the chapters of the Gospel of Matthew.
Although the first Gospel is anonymous, the early church fathers were unanimous in holding that Matthew, one of the 12 apostles, was its author. However, the results of modern critical studies -- in particular those that stress Matthew's alleged dependence on Mark for a substantial part of his Gospel -- have caused some Biblical scholars to abandon Matthean authorship. Why, they ask, would Matthew, an eyewitness to the events of our Lord's life, depend so heavily on Mark's account? The best answer seems to be that he agreed with it and wanted to show that the apostolic testimony to Christ was not divided.
Matthew, whose name means "gift of the Lord," was a tax collector who left his work to follow Jesus (9:9-13). In Mark and Luke he is called by his other name, Levi.
Date and Place of Writing
Some have argued on the basis of its Jewish characteristics that Matthew's Gospel was written in the early church period, possibly the early part of a.d. 50, when the church was largely Jewish and the gospel was preached to Jews only (Ac 11:19). However, those who have concluded that both Matthew and Luke drew extensively from Mark's Gospel date it later -- after the Gospel of Mark had been in circulation for a period of time. See essay and chart, p. 1943. Accordingly, some feel that Matthew would have been written in the late 50s or in the 60s. Others, who assume that Mark was written between 65 and 70, place Matthew in the 70s or even later. However, there is insufficient evidence to be dogmatic about either view.
The Jewish nature of Matthew's Gospel may suggest that it was written in the Holy Land, though many think it may have originated in Syrian Antioch.
Since his Gospel was written in Greek, Matthew's readers were obviously Greek-speaking. They also seem to have been Jews. Many elements point to Jewish readership: Matthew's concern with fulfillment of the OT (he has more quotations from and allusions to the OT than any other NT author); his tracing of Jesus' descent from Abraham (1:1-17); his lack of explanation of Jewish customs (especially in contrast to Mark); his use of Jewish terminology (e.g., "kingdom of heaven," where "heaven" reveals the Jewish reverential reluctance to use the name of God; see note on 3:2); his emphasis on Jesus' role as "Son of David" (1:1; 9:27; 12:23; 15:22; 20:30-31; 21:9,15; 22:41-45). This does not mean, however, that Matthew restricts his Gospel to Jews. He records the coming of the Magi (non-Jews) to worship the infant Jesus (2:1-12), as well as Jesus' statement that the "field is the world" (13:38). He also gives a full statement of the Great Commission (28:18-20). These passages show that, although Matthew's Gospel is Jewish, it has a universal outlook.
Matthew's main purpose is to prove to his Jewish readers that Jesus is their Messiah. He does this primarily by showing how Jesus in his life and ministry fulfilled the OT Scriptures. Although all the Gospel writers quote the OT, Matthew includes nine proof texts unique to his Gospel (1:22-23; 2:15; 2:17-18; 2:23; 4:14-16; 8:17; 12:17-21; 13:35; 27:9-10) to drive home his basic theme: Jesus is the fulfillment of the OT predictions of the Messiah. Matthew even finds the history of God's people in the OT recapitulated in some aspects of Jesus' life (see, e.g., his quotation of Hos 11:1 in 2:15). To accomplish his purpose Matthew also emphasizes Jesus' Davidic lineage (see Recipients, p. 1945).
The way the material is arranged reveals an artistic touch. The whole Gospel is woven around five great discourses: (1) chs. 5-7; (2) ch. 10; (3) ch. 13; (4) ch. 18; (5) chs.24-25. That this is deliberate is clear from the refrain that concludes each discourse: "When Jesus had finished saying these things," or similar words (7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1). The narrative sections, in each case, appropriately lead up to the discourses. The Gospel has a fitting prologue (chs. 1-2) and a challenging epilogue (28:16-20).
The fivefold division may suggest that Matthew has modeled his book on the structure of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT). He may also be presenting the gospel as a new Torah and Jesus as a new and greater Moses.
