A once grand, century-old house at 5631 SE Belmont is being meticulously restored by a tour de force with the skill and determination to save historically significant architecture from the wrecking ball.
She and Day have worked together on several local projects. The Belmont house is Murphy's eleventh restoration. With luck born of positive thinking and a loyal construction crew, Murphy is rescuing Portland one house at a time.
Since then she and her team have hit the ground running, roughing in updated wiring and plumbing, preserving original wall tapestries and turn-of-the-last-century tubs, tuck-pointing foot thick rock walls, and straightening the original columns on the wrap around porch wherever possible.
Every item is being salvaged. Materials that need to be replaced such as outdoor banisters on the upper balcony will be repurposed as new balustrades are milled to meet code. Some days twenty or more workers are on the project.
At each step, Murphy undertakes careful forensics to ensure work reflects authenticity. "I love going to work," she says as the house reveals secrets like writings from 1909 beneath peeling bedroom wallpaper. Despite construction and boarded up windows, the house is a solid "treasure," according to a local architect who says Murphy is doing everything right to maintain the home's integrity.
Murphy, who names all the houses she restores, calls this one Walter, perhaps because of rumored ties to Walt Disney's Portland family.
"Walter never disappoints," she says pointing out 115-year-old arts and crafts fruit-sculptures that still adorn a mantel; dining room pocket doors with oak on one side and mahogany on the other; leaded glass in perfect condition; earth-toned tapestry beneath box beams; hand-carved newel posts. The original parquet floors and elaborate woodwork is largely untouched by vandals.
Rescuing old houses requires recouping expenses. The City is not making it easy, according to Day who says in Portland's "rush to create density," it ignores preservation.
Specific uses may depend on the City's convoluted permitting process, but one option is adaptive re-use as a traditional bed 'n breakfast and event venue.
As work progresses, streams of neighbors and curiosity-seekers visit daily.
She's heard from a family that has some of the home's monogrammed silver. Even police stopped by with encouragement because the abandoned house had become such a problem. Despite distractions, she says Walter handles it well. "It's strange to go from dark years to constant activity," she writes on her #saving walter account.

If her timelines and positivity prevail, holiday lights will sparkle again on the grand house this December.

The winter months are nearly here and now is a great time to make sure that your HVAC system is ready to help you stay warm and toasty on the coldest days of the year. By scheduling heating repair and furnace service before winter gets into full gear, you will have confidence knowing that your HVAC system is in peak condition for all of your heating needs. A company offering furnace repair in Nashville can help you perform a thorough tune-up for your HVAC system this winter. Here is a look at some of the essentials of creating a winter checklist for your HVAC system.
When you are preparing your HVAC system for the winter season, it is important to make sure that your furnace is working properly and that you're not in need of furnace repair. You may want to check your furnace to make sure that the pilot light is on and functioning. In addition, you should also be sure to schedule a professional service appointment for your heating equipment. Your technician can clean, lubricate, and repair the many parts of your furnace.
With cooler temperatures around the corner, it is also a great idea to set your programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats are designed to keep your home at a comfortable temperature at all times of the day. By setting your thermostat to turn your HVAC system off when you are away from the house, you can help conserve energy and save on your heating bills.
Along with maintaining your interior HVAC components and scheduling furnace repair, it is also a great idea to perform a quick inspection of the exterior of your home. For example, you can prevent damage to your air conditioning system by making sure that your condenser unit is clean and covered. In addition, it is a good idea to clear any snow, leaves, or other types of debris away from your furnace intakes. These steps will ensure that your HVAC system runs great all winter long.
While you may be familiar with the dangers of visible mold in your basement or on the walls of your home, you may be surprised to learn that mold can also be a lingering danger in your HVAC system. When mold is allowed to grow in your air ducts, the air quality of your home could be seriously compromised. Mold in your air ducts can cause a variety of health issues in you or your loved ones, including respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and skin conditions. To make sure that your family is protected from mold in your HVAC system, it is a good idea to schedule air duct cleaning . Air duct cleaning in Nashville is among the most effective methods that you can use to remove mold and other toxins from the air that you breathe. A company offering furnace maintenance near you can provide you with more information about the benefits of scheduling air duct cleaning today.
When your furnace repair appointments become more and more frequent, it may be time for you to consider a new furnace installation for your home. By installing a new furnace and HVAC system, you can ensure that your home remains warm and comfortable without the need for furnace repair, even when winter weather arrives. A company offering furnace repair in Nashville will be able to help you choose the right heating system for your needs. One of the important decisions that you will need to make when shopping for a new furnace is whether you would prefer an oil or gas unit. Here are some essential tips for choosing between an oil or gas furnace for your home.
As you are deciding between an oil or gas furnace, it is important to consider the AFUE ratings of each potential unit. AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, and this rating system will tell you more about the efficiency of your model. A brand new oil furnace will typically offer an AFUE of about 90 percent, whereas a gas furnace may have an AFUE of as high as 98 percent.
Along with considering the AFUE ratings of your future furnace, you will also need to evaluate the fuel sources that are used by each type of system. An oil furnace will run on oil, which can be more costly to refill. By contrast, natural gas furnaces are relatively inexpensive to operate. If your home is already connected to a natural gas line, a gas furnace may be the right choice for your home.
Ultimately, your choice of furnace will come down to your cooling needs as a homeowner. Since oil heat is very strong and powerful, oil furnaces are great choices for homes that tend to be very cool during the winter months. By contrast, if you are seeking a furnace that is budget-friendly and easy to maintain, a gas furnace may be the best choice for you.
Furnace repair is an essential part of maintaining your HVAC system . If you are gearing your HVAC system up for the winter season, it is a great idea to schedule furnace repair in Nashville. When you schedule furnace repair, your HVAC technician will perform several procedures that will ensure that your electric furnace is operating safely and efficiently. After removing the faceplate to your furnace, your HVAC repair technician can inspect all of the wires for signs of damage or improper grounding. In the event that a problem is detected, your technician can repair the issue before it becomes serious. To take a look at how to repair an electric furnace, watch this video from eHow.
When you are shopping for heating systems for your home, you will have many different models that are available to you. For an eco-friendly alternative to a conventional furnace installation, you may want to ask your furnace repair company about the possibility of installing a gas boiler in your home. When you include a new boiler in your HVAC system in Nashville , you will be able to heat your home for many seasons to come. With the help of a furnace installation professional, you will be able to get the best efficiency and performance from your new boiler. Here is a look at what you need to know about gas boilers for your upcoming installation.
A gas boiler will offer terrific efficiency for your home. Like a conventional furnace, a gas boiler's efficiency is rated using the AFUE scale. A new gas boiler may boast an AFUE of up to 80 percent or more. If boiler service has helped you notice that your current boiler system is not operating as efficiently as it used to, you may want to consider upgrading to a new model with a higher AFUE.
In recent years, gas boiler technology has evolved to include many energy efficient advancements that will help you conserve energy as you heat your home. For example, new gas boilers may include electronic spark ignitions, which allow the pilot light to create heat on demand. Other features, such as vent dampers, help to dramatically increase the efficiency of boiler systems.
To eliminate the hassles that can be associated with installing a brand new furnace, you can also opt to retrofit your existing boiler for greater efficiency. A boiler service professional can perform several simple procedures that will help to improve the efficiency of your current boiler unit. For example, a modulating aquastat can be used to adjust the temperature settings of a hot water boiler for greater efficiency. Your HVAC service technician will have more information about some great strategies for boosting the efficiency of your heater this winter.
What Is the Role of a Furnace Filter?
Are you concerned about the air quality in your home? One of the simplest steps you can take to keep your air clean is to change your furnace filter regularly. Your furnace filter will prevent dust, dirt, and debris from entering your ductwork and eliminate the need for costly furnace repair down the line. Additionally, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning can help you perform furnace maintenance near Nashville and keep your furnace operating properly at all times!
Changing out your old furnace filter for a new one is extremely easy. Once you notice dust, dirt, and debris beginning to build up on the filter, simply remove it and replace it with a fresh filter. If you don't do this, small dust particles may begin to find their way through the filter and pollute your home. Your HVAC system will also not run as efficiently as it should, and furnace repair will soon become a necessity. Call on One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning for furnace service and we will complete any other maintenance that you might need!
When the temperature begins to drop outside in the fall and winter, your heating costs will likely go up as you consume more energy inside your home. You may also need to invest in heating repair to make sure your home stays warm. Before you start using your HVAC system in Nashville, there are a few things you should do to save energy and money. Follow these simple steps to keep heating costs down over the next few months.
The sun might not always feel warm when it's cold outside, but it can make a big difference when it comes to the warmth you feel inside of your home. By allowing sunlight to stream into your windows, you can provide natural heat and raise the temperature.
When you are at home, you should keep your thermostat at a comfortable level. However, when you are out or asleep, you don't need to keep your heating system running at all times. You will essentially be heating your home for no reason and wasting energy. Setting your thermostat back 10 to 15 degrees during these times can reduce your energy costs by around 10 percent every year. A programmable thermostat can also help keep costs down.
A drafty window can allow cold air to enter your home and drop the temperature significantly. It can also cause your heating system to run continuously. By simply covering a drafty window with a clear plastic sheet or drapery that prevents air from entering your home, you can make a big difference in how your home feels.
Before the winter season sets in, you should have heating repair done to fix any problems that may exist with your system. You should replace furnace filters as necessary to make sure it is running efficiently at all times and maintain your entire HVAC system to save as much energy as possible.

Forum / Remote Desktop Manager - Feature Request
Support for two factor authentication (2FA) in integration with Pleasant Password Server
neilamoran
I am using Pleasant Password Server and have enabled 2FA/OTP for my login - however, when I then use RDM to connect to the Pleasant API, it returns an error as below:
(&quotA two-factor one-time password is required" in case you can't see the image)
Since you already seem to be correctly reading the header response, as far as I can tell from their API documentation, would it be too much to implement this feature so that it could be used securely with the password source?
Long time fan of RDM, and Pleasant has been really great since we started using it, but I would really like to put them together!
Hubert Mireault
Thanks for the feedback. We'll be taking a look at this. If the API allows us to integrate the two factor it shouldn't be too difficult to add.
Have you any news on this?
On this URL, they show the process of 2FA with an API.
https://info.pleasantsolutions.com/Documentation/Pleasant_Password_Server/M._Programmatic_Access/J._Password_Server_REST_API_Documentation/OAuth_Two-Factor_Support
We try at the moment the enterprise edition. This was the only option that don't work.
The feature is not yet integrated in Remote Desktop Manager but it is still on our todo list. Unfortunately I cannot provide you with an estimate on when this will be available. Since we just released RDM 13 recently, we're focusing on fixing issues rather than adding new features. We're hoping to be able to work on this soon.
And thank you for the link, it will be useful for when we integrate the feature!
We have 10 Enterprise License of the Remote Desktop Manager.
On your site:
https://help.remotedesktopmanager.com/index.html?credentials_pleasantpasswordserver.htm
you confirm, that Pleasant Password Server is supported.
But now, it don't work with 2FA.
Can you please fix the problem? I don't think it is a feature. For us, it is a bug, that this is not working.
David Hervieux
Bug or feature for us it's the same. We have to implement it in RDM. It's on our todo list for sure. I will change the priority.
I wanted to let you know we're in the process of setting up a server internally so we can work on the feature.
Hi Devolutions Staff
Just like OP, our company is awaiting the implementation of said feature. Do you have any update on the timeline of its implementation? I'd appreciate your feedback.
This is still in our todo list. We've been busy fixing bugs for the release of RDM 13.6 so bigger features like these have been pushed back a little.
We'll bump up the priority, we're hoping we can start working on this soon. We have to change how the Pleasant Password integration works so it's not as simple as changing the login procedure.
Good news, this should be available in RDM 13.6.0.0 which released today. Could you try it and give us some feedback?
msolenthaler
The 2-FA for Pleasent Password Server works perfectly fine (13.6.6.0), thank you
I have also configured Pleasant to request 2FA. It works well with KeePass for Pleasant, which is asking for new code after a defined time of x hours.
With RDM, it asks me for Authenticator Code each time I open a new Server Connection. I assume this is because RDM is connecting to Pleasant Server and closes the connection right afterwards. I would welcome if it would open the Connection on first Server and closes when Closing RDM, like KeePass for Pleasnt does.
Do you expires same behaviour or is it a configuration thing?
For us this kills the acceptance of 2FA. Because we are using RDManager daily to connect to multiple Servers, which we are maintaining.
Thank you for the feedback. I think it should be possible to change this behavior, we'll take a look and see what we can do.
pgienger
I'd like to throw a 'me too' on the 2FA request. I am running a trial with the newest beta for our team, and while setting up a credential entry and a subsequent connection item I was prompted for my code on select creds, save connection, edit connection, view props on connection, and at least a couple other actions. Once it was created I was prompted, as expected given all the other times, when I tried to use the connection.
Meanwhile I don't have to use the 2FA key on my web browser for another 35 days or so.
We've been focusing on preparing for the release of RDM 14 so we didn't have time to work on this yet. We'll bump up the priority to hopefully release this change in one of the patches after RDM 14 is out.
We've improved the 2FA prompt to remember the last used user. We are currently restricted to 1 remembered user so if you use multiple users you'll be prompt every time you switch user. This will be available in the next patch.

New automated hematology analyzers have led to the availability of novel hematological parameters, including the immature platelet fraction (IPF) and the immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF), both of potential interest in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In this study, researchers found that factors associated with high IRF among patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia were low hemoglobin, high reticulocyte count, and a diagnosis of polycythemia vera. Among patients with myelofibrosis, the associated factors were peripheral blasts and elevated reticulocytes.

Dr. Fauci on Track to Collect Largest Government Retirement Package in U.S. History
"Fauci is currently the highest-paid employee in the federal government, bringing in $434,321 in 2020 which is more than the president"
Posted by Mike LaChance Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 04:00pm 30 Comments
Few people influencing U.S. government policy right now are more divisive than Dr. Anthony Fauci. If you're a host on MSNBC, you might own a Fauci action figure or prayer candle. If you're a freedom-loving American who is exhausted by COVID policies, you would be happy never to see Fauci again.
One thing is sure. No matter how you feel about Fauci, he will retire a very wealthy man.
Fauci is set to collect a record amount when he retires.
Andrew Mark Miller reports at FOX News:
Fauci on track to collect largest federal retirement in U.S. history: report
Dr. Anthony Fauci said recently that he does not plan on retiring soon but if were to step down as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the 81-year-old would reportedly be eligible for the largest federal retirement package in American history.
According to Forbes auditors at OpenTheBooks.com, Fauci's 55 years of service in the federal government qualifies him for an annual retirement package of more than $350,000 which would increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Fauci is currently the highest-paid employee in the federal government, bringing in $434,321 in 2020 which is more than the president, the highest-ranking commanders in the military, and the roughly 4.3 million employees in the federal government.
Tori Richards of the Washington Examiner outlines Fauci's compensation history:
His eye-popping retirement will be the largest in U.S. history. Open the Books calculated his retirement earnings at 80% of his highest three-year average plus cost of living increases.
In contrast, 1 in 4 people in the United States have no retirement savings, and those who do are not saving enough. The median retirement balance for people ages 55 to 64 is $120,000, which would yield just $1,000 a month during retirement years, Yahoo News reported.
But Fauci's finances have been on a steep upward climb for years. Between 2004 and 2007, the Bush administration awarded him a 68% increase to his $200,000 yearly salary to "compensate him for the level of responsibility," according to an Open the Books investigation.
Between 2018 and 2020, he earned $1.252 million. For the second year in a row, he has out-earned the president, four-star generals, and any other category within the federal sector. Fauci has 55 years of service and could have retired long ago.
People have thoughts about this:
Dr. Fauci will get a $350,000 per year retirement pension.
Meanwhile, the Americans laid off due to his vaccine mandates will get $0.
— Lance Gooden (@Lancegooden) December 29, 2021
Fauci retirement estimate is $350k/yr.
Guess where part of that money comes from—American tax payers.
Accountability will come with an America First Congress.
Remember what happened to Andy McCabe's retirement benefits in Congress?
Fauci will beg for that kind of mercy.

I think I'm on board with Stephen L. Miller on this:

First, though, he would have to retire.
Maybe we should all write letters reminding him that he can't take it with him.
Lucifer Morningstar in reply to henrybowman. | December 31, 2021 at 9:57 am
And then end up in prison cells right next to the Jan 6th protesters for threatening a federal government official after Saint Fauci turns those letters over to the democrat's private police force the DOJ/FBI for "investigation" and possible prosecution.
amwick | December 30, 2021 at 4:24 pm
He is in his 80s now.. .How long will he be collecting?. Besides, all the money in the world will not make him a decent person..
thetaqjr in reply to amwick. | December 30, 2021 at 9:05 pm
Funding for dozens of little Faucis, generational? I don't know how long descendants can't claim pursuant to his death.
First thing you know, he'll have more assets … well, I bet he's already run Bernie to ground.
Sniff.

With all his success, would the retirement package be 50 caliber or larger ordinance. D.C. has got to find some ways to cut the budget.
hrlsswndr | December 30, 2021 at 4:46 pm
I think 50 to life would be an acceptable retirement package. I'm ok with solitary, but I think the abuse he'd get from the other inmates until he dies in pain would be more appropriate.
rduke007 in reply to hrlsswndr. | December 30, 2021 at 4:54 pm

On another note does anyone know a good source for many guillotines? 🙂
Andy | December 30, 2021 at 5:35 pm
To borrow a line from Ann Coulter regarding those who murder abortion doctors….I personally would never do anything to hurt this man, but I feel it's presumptuous to impose my views on others.
How this man is not in jail, let alone still working in his current capacity is truly something.

"Ghoul"?
"[C]rimes against humanity"?
That's insanity!
Say that at the dinner table, and they'll be muttering about how Paw-Paw is past it.
Disagree with the man if you must, recognizing that you lack his credentials and experience, FWIW.
I'm just not seeing a place for this kind of vehement, hateful rhetoric in any sane world.
Maybe that's the point — maybe you should post long excerpts from the "Turner Diaries"!

I've never seen contempt like this in the comments at LI which is not your typical internet commentary. Not even for Cuomo who in fact is responsible for thousands of deaths. It is not underserved. Fauci is one of the main drivers of the madness for the past 2 years- even more so than Biden who is an inept retard on a good day. Any words are too kind for this inept career parasite. He's right out of an Ayn Rand novel… or the Ayn Rand novels were based on all the characters in history who were just like Fauci.
Trumps biggest failure was not firing Fauci and everyone like him.
TX-rifraph | December 30, 2021 at 5:43 pm
As large as his retirement package is, he sold his soul for too little. Perhaps he will hear the never ending cries of the puppies, children, and mourning parents after his evil journey on the earth ends. Matthew 5:6 ought to terrify Fauci but it obviously does not.
Skip | December 30, 2021 at 7:16 pm
For the thousands, possibly hundreds of that he has caused to die needlessly his reward will not be on this earth.
nordic_prince | December 30, 2021 at 7:26 pm
The most that he should get is three hots and a cot – assuming he's not put to death as a mass murderer.

three hots and a cot and a (booster) shot

Why is Dr Fauci biting his tongue? Has somebody up there already commented?
Tail of the devil returning to its lair?
The real cure for Covid is hidden in tongue juices and severely crossed eyes?
I can do that.
TheFineReport.com | December 30, 2021 at 10:34 pm
The United States government has degenerated into a large organized crime syndicate. The FBI had degenerated into its goon squad. The military is being corrupted into it as well.
This traitor Fauci is just one operative.
JFK's murder was the first coup in American hisory. The 'election' of Biden was the second.
allenb611 | December 31, 2021 at 12:52 am
Please retire. Please!

He cannot as he must remain in control until he is safe. He only trusts Fauci.

Pasadena Peabody | December 31, 2021 at 11:19 am
If he was paid according to what he is worth he would be the lowest paid employee in government.
CommoChief | December 31, 2021 at 11:32 am
Maybe we should use this as an opportunity to create a mandatory retirement age for Federal employees. Set the mandatory age at whatever full Social security retirement age is for that cohort. This might be useful as a backdoor term limit in that a member of the HoR or Senate isn't required to participate in the federal retirement system; they must opt into it. Since they themselves would be choosing to participate it's not directly depriving their constituents or the individual of future service directly but rather only as a secondary consequence of their choice. Judicial branch pensions are run separately from standard fed pensions used by executive and legislative branch so they would be unaffected. At least as I understand them.
JGO_KY | December 31, 2021 at 2:32 pm
I would bet that his retirement payout will pale when compared with his stock portfolio beginning with his questionable drug recommendations concerning AIDS back in the '80's.
lawgrad | December 31, 2021 at 9:46 pm
The fact is that there are many exceptions to the GS scale of civil service pay. For decades, the Federal Government (particularly the VA) has been authorized to pay medicals doctors more, in order to offer competitive salaries. Otherwise, very few doctors would work for the federal government. There are other federal agencies, such as the Synthetic Fuels Corporation, that had statutory exemptions from the GS scale. There are also pay advantages to the intelligence community.
This makes sense. In most colleges, the President is not the highest paid employee. It is usually the football coach or some cardiac surgeon working in the Medical School. Why should the President of the US be the highest paid employee in the Federal Government?
Of course, many university employees, many federal employees and Dr. Fauci are not motivated by salary to work for the federal govvrnment. I don't begrudge any of them what thay do earn.
sestamibi | January 1, 2022 at 4:13 am
While $350K might be obscene, the silver lining is that he's 81 and won't be collecting it for all that long.

Q: Кнопка button текст на кнопке Как на кнопке button изменить стиль  текста ( к примеру подчеркнуть , сделать жирным), через MainActivity?

A: У кнопки есть свойство android:textStyle="bold" для жирного текста , так же там и другие есть
Если через код , то button.setTypeface(null, Typeface.BOLD);
Насчет прдчеркиваний уже сложнее ..  Как то так
 SpannableString text = new SpannableString("Button");
 text.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, text.length(), Spanned.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
 button.setText(text);

Таким способом можно стилизовать текст в широких пределах (в том числе только части надписи):подчеркивания,зачеркивания,наклон,разый цвет для разных участков и тп. Подробности по ссылке выше.

The lineage acquired the name "Drukpa" in the twelfth century when, assuming the human form, Avalokiteshvara - the Great Lord of Universal Compassion - manifested in Tibet as the outstanding disciple of Mahasiddha Lingchen Repa. This sublime being was called Drogon Tsangpa Gyare, the meaning being: Drogon - the Protector of Beings; Tsang - born in the land of Tsang; Gya - from the noble clan of Chinese (Gya) origin; Re - a cotton-clad yogi.
"Druk" in Tibetan means "Dragon" and it also refers to the sound of thunder. In 1206, exactly 800 years ago, Tsangpa Gyare Yeshe Dorje saw nine dragons flew up into the sky from the ground of Namdruk, and he named his lineage "Drukpa" or "lineage of the Dragons" after this auspicious event. In this way, Tsangpa Gyare became the founder of the lineage and was known as the First Gyalwang Drukpa.
Tsangpa Gyare's great great grandfather was one of the two strong Chinese men who were selected to pull the royal chariot that carried the precious statue of Jowo Shakyamuni to Tibet when Chinese Princess Wencheng of the T'ang Dynasty married the famous Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo (617-650).
In the early part of his life, Tsangpa Gyare was called 'Gyaton' which literally means 'Chinese teacher'.
In his life, Tsangpa Gyare unveiled many treasures of holy teachings and objects in Southern Tibet, and he also discovered Tsari, a very famous, holy and powerful place in Tibet. Because of his spiritual attainments, Tsangpa Gyare became popular as Druk Thamchey Khyenpa, the Omniscient Dragon, and reverentially called 'Je Drukpa' (Lord Dragon master).
Tsangpa Gyare was a famous teacher whose teachings were sometimes attended by as many as 50,000 people at any one time. It was recorded that he had 88,000 eminent followers, of whom 28,000 were enlightened yogis. His order became famous for the purity, simplicity and asceticism of its adherents and the profundity of its spiritual teachings. He wrote a renowned commentary on the Tantra of Chakrasamvara and taught widely.
When Tsangpa Gyare passed away in 1211, on the cremation day, a rainbow canopy appeared and showers of flowers fell. Many could hear celestial music and smell a beautiful aroma in the atmosphere. When his body was cremated, his heart, tongue and eyes remained intact. His skull bore the images of Arya Avalokiteshvara, Manjushri and Vajrapani; the twenty-one joints of his backbone turned into twenty-one mini statues of Avalokiteshvara. Many of these relics are still available in various Drukpa monasteries for reverence and these are proofs of Tsangpa Gyare's spiritual attainments.
The Kingdom of Bhutan, considered as one of the few remaining Buddhist kingdoms in this world and a pure land in the Himalayas, also takes the name of "Druk" or "Druk Yul", meaning "the Land of the Thunder Dragons" and its people are also known as "Drukpa". This is because in the 17th century, one of Tsangpa Gyare's fourth incarnations, Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal (1594-1651), united the warring regions in Bhutan and became the political and religious leader there. During his reign he was responsible for the construction of many fortress palaces and monasteries as well as devising many of Bhutan's customs, traditions and ceremonies. This forged a unique cultural identity distinct from Tibet.

"Do not despair: one of the thieves was saved.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.
It makes me think of Jesus crucified between two thieves and surrounded by wild and crazy mob.
From now on, when you hear that song, you will think of this story from Luke 23 because Inception.
Just as many people are confused about the singer of that song, many people are confused about the savior in this story.
Throughout Luke's Gospel, Jesus has been portrayed as the Savior of the world who welcomes sinners, shows them mercy, forgives them, and grants them new life.
Let's see if he is willing and able to do this for an extreme case, for a man in dire straits, suspended between heaven and hell.
The man was an ordinary, common, Jewish man. Like all male Jews he was circumcised according to the Law of God. As he grew up he became aware of the Law of God and the religious customs of his people. Things like that were in the drinking water, part and parcel of the Jewish social structure. That's akin to our growing up in the Bible Belt, or "the Jesus-haunted South" as Flanner O'Connor put it.
He was probably exposed to the preaching and teaching of John the Baptist at some point in his life. Almost everyone knew about John, the eccentric prophet.
It is possible that he was baptized by John the Baptist. The Gospel writers record that "Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, and they were baptized by him at the river Jordan, confessing their sins." So there is a chance that this robber was baptized in the Jordan.
If so, it might have been sorta like Delmar's baptism in O Brother Where Art Thou? Remember how the preacher washed his sins away — even that Piggly Wiggly he knocked over in Yazoo.
All things considered, he might have seen a miracle performed or heard a sermon delivered by Jesus. After all, he was aware that Jesus had something to do with a kingdom!
More than likely, the robber came from a poor family. Maybe he grew up in the projects. Maybe he suffered from father-hunger. Maybe he just fell in with the wrong crowd. Whatever the case, we know he became a lawbreaker — a dangerous criminal who stole by using violence and force.
No one knows how long his life of crime lasted. Months, years, weeks. But we do know that he was caught, tried, and convicted. Whatever his specific actions, they were capital crimes, and he was sentenced to death for them.
Unfortunately, we meet him at the very end of his life.
By the time we catch up with him he has reached the end of death row. In fact, we meet him just a few hours before his death by execution.
He wasted his life stealing, destroying, terrorizing. He had been playing with fire for many years, and when you play with fire eventually you get burned.
Do the Crime; Do the Time. And all that jazz.
Near the city of Jerusalem, just outside the gates at a place called "The Skull," this ordinary, common, Jewish man was crucified along with two other men. One was a criminal (perhaps a partner in crime) but the other was different.
Some called him a political revolutionary. An enemy of the State.
They said he claimed to be the King of the Jews.
He was the one on the cross in the middle. The one the Jewish leaders, Roman soldiers, and the crowd all took turns insulting and mocking.
Even the other thief chimed. Adding insult to injury, he shamelessly mocked and scoffed Jesus without mercy. Like the others, he piled it on thick and heavy.
One blasphemous word after another.
They say "misery loves company" but perhaps he just wanted the crowds to look away from him. Maybe he wanted someone to sympathize with him for a brief moment. Maybe he was afraid that if he did not join in with the crowds they would turn and heap insults on him.
Meanwhile, the first robber we met found himself suspended on a cross somewhere between life and death.
As a Jewish man living in Roman occupied Judea he knew the process of crucifixion. The joint dislocating strain, the short gasps for breath, the delirium, the elements—weather, insects, glaring sun, cold wind—unquenchable thirst. Sweat burned eyes. In the end, broken shin bones, gasping for breath, intense pain, then death.
This could go on for hours — even days. Either way, it would end the same way. He would lose consciousness and fade to black.
He was literally supended between heaven and hell.
In that moment, he took inventory of his own life, and the consequences of his own sins, and the punishments that awaited him in the afterlife.
Barring a last minute miracle, he would suffer death and pass into Hades (Greek), into Sheol (Hebrew), the realm of darkness and death.
Unlike the other robber, he knew how this was going end.
An instant after death he would meet the true and living God and face judgment and be sentenced to Hell.
He felt it in his bones. He feared it in his soul.
While the other robber shouted a barrage of insults; then, a cynical prayer: Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!
The gravity of the situation weighed on the first robber.
Realizing that he was guilty of sin and deserving of punishment, and feeling that he was just a few breaths away from an even worse torment — seeing that he had been playing with fire even in the jaws of death, he turned and rebuked the other criminal.
Don't you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?!
Truly, we are condemned justly…but this man has done nothing wrong.
Deep inside him something changed: his pride melted, his heart broke, his spirit yielded.
Then he did the unthinkable, the unexpected.
In an act of devil-may-care reckless self-abandonment, he made a last ditch, here-goes-nuttin, death-bed confession from the heart.
He confessed that he was a guilty sinner — his punishment was right, good, and fair — the due reward for his deeds.
He confessed that Jesus an innocent saint — this man has done nothing wrong.
Then, in a final act of desperation, the robber asked the impossible. Hope against hope, he offered up a heart-felt prayer that was heard at the cross, around the world, and in heaven at the throne of grace.
What would Jesus do for a sinful, lawbreaking, hardened criminal?
What would Jesus do for the man who also spent the last two or three hours insulting, cursing, and mocking him?
What would Jesus do for a frantic, desperate sinner, praying for mercy on his way to death and hell?
Jesus would do the impossible.
With these words, Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, liberty to the captive, recovery of life for the dead, freedom for the oppressed.
The dying thief found favor in the eyes of the Lord!
For what is not possible with men is possible with God. Nothing is impossible with God.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jesus took upon himself all the robber's sins and all the punishments he deserved.
There was no hatred, animosity, or wrath in Jesus' eyes. Just tender mercy and undying love.
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun's light failed …46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!" And having said this he breathed his last.
I wonder what the robber thought — and how he felt — when Jesus died. I wonder if he doubted Jesus' promise even a little.
Did his death mean he would not come in his kingdom? Did it mean he would come in his kingdom after death? Did it mean his kingdom was a myth?
The robber would find out soon enough.
As evening fell a soldier appeared, standing before him, grasping a short hard-wood club.
After a brief pause, he swings hard. Twice.
It won't be long now. A few more tears, a few last groans and gasps, a final fade to black.
Jesus snatched the robber from the flames and saved him by mercy. That day, he appeared before the gates of Paradise, smelling like smoke, and singed around the edges.
By the power of God's grace and mercy, he walked into the kingdom of Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior and King.
And Jesus welcomed him home.
We often say there is power in prayer, or the prayer of a righteous man availeth much. But here we see that the Heart-felt Prayer of a Penitent Sinner is powerful and effective. Why? Only because the object of the prayer! Such prayer is powerful nd effective only because the faithful Heart of the Savior who hears the prayer is so mighty to save.
Ask for salvation, and it will be given.
Seek forgiveness, and you will find.
Knock on heaven's door, and it will be opened.
Jesus heard the thief, remembered his prayer, and granted his request. He will do the same for you if you ask him by faith.
The old gospel says Jesus receives sinners who believe him!
He welcomes them by grace through faith into his kingdom.
Jesus saved the thief on the cross by grace through faith in Christ alone. This is not an exception to the rule — it is the rule!
The dying thief was saved the same way any sinner — including you — is saved.
This story is good news for everyone — especially those who know they are suspended between heaven and hell.
Do not despair: one of the thieves was saved.
Do not presume: one of the thieves was damned.
If you think you are too far gone, out of reach, and cannot be saved, remember the way Jesus showed mercy to the thief on the cross.
If you think you are safe and secure as you are — and that you have have no need of Christ, remember the way Jesus let one thief perish in his sins.
The one who was damned prayed, Not thy will, but mine. The one who was saved prayed, Not my will, but Thine.
What will your prayer be?


NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The use of high temperature to fragment genomic DNA prior to digital PCR analysis has been shown to induce mutations that are detected as false-positive results for some rare alleles, according to newly published research.
Digital PCR demands fragmentation of DNA in order to ensure uniform droplet formation. The methods used to accomplish this include restriction digestion, microwaving irradiation, biopolymer-based shredding, acoustic shearing, and treatment with high heat.

Today, the Post will say goodbye to more than two dozen journalists, victims of the latest round of cutbacks demanded by a company looking to squeeze every bit of profit out of its properties. Alden, through its subsidiary Digital First Media, is one of the biggest owners of newspapers in the country, and it has pursued a similar strategy involving drastic cuts at places like the San Jose Mercury-News, the Orange County Register, and the Boston Herald.
The threat that Alden's strategy presents to journalism and civic life in America should be obvious. A skeleton staff covering a city of 700,000 means less accountability, fewer checks on power, and a diminished marketplace for ideas. As Baquet said on CNN's Reliable Sources, "This is a major city, Denver. This is a newsroom that now is on the verge of having fewer than 100 journalists. That is unbelievable. That means things won't be covered, school boards aren't being covered. This is a crisis in American journalism." The paper's rebellion garnered coverage on Sunday's cable shows as well as a front-page article in The New York Times. Whether it made an impact on Alden's thinking or the Post's future remains to be seen.
Below, more on the Post, its owners, and a crisis in journalism.
Tracking Alden's moves: Freelance journalist Julie Reynolds has spent the past two years producing stories about Alden and Digital First Media, amplifying the voices of DFM journalists. Last month, she spoke with CJR's Corey Hutchins about the impact of the company's cutbacks.
BuzzFeed's Ben Smith looks back at his time as a young journalist in Belarus in the days before September 11. "I was 24, and as a true child of the 1990s, complacent about the direction of history in a way that made me a particularly bad reporter," he writes. It's a piece well worth your time.
The Washington Post's Loveday Morris reports on the death of Yaser Murtaja, a Palestinian journalist who died Saturday after being shot while covering protests in Gaza. Five other journalists, all of whom were wearing items identifying them as press, were wounded during the protests, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate. Murtaja's death raises "further questions over Israel's insistence that its use of snipers on the crowds at the border is carefully targeted," Morris writes.
The New York Times's Kevin Roose, Cecilia Kang, and Sheera Frenkel preview Mark Zuckerberg's testimony before lawmakers this week. The Facebook chief heads to the Hill tomorrow for two days of hearings, and is attempting to transform the company's image "from a defiant, secretive behemoth into a contrite paragon of openness," they write.
CJR's Alexandria Neason spoke with Les Zaitz, formerly of The Oregonian, about his reporting in the 1980s on Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and thousands of his devotees living on a ranch in rural Oregon. The cult is featured in the recent Netflix documentary Wild, Wild Country.

Insight Series | Victoria Whitby
In the lead up to International Women's Day (March 8th) we will be interviewing inspirational women about their journey in the business world. We want to recognise and share the achievements of these women; share their stories with others and encouraging other organisations to #BalanceforBetter in their businesses.
Our second interviewee is Victoria Whitby | Global Head of Finance, Group IT | Lendlease
Please tell us a little about your current mandate
As the Global Head of Finance for Technology, my mandate includes oversight of the financial responsibilities, financial strategy, reporting, processes and funding models required for the Technology business of Lendlease. It's a great role that combines technical capabilities across the Finance and Technology functions and relationship management with the Global businesses.
What has been the biggest challenge you've faced?
The biggest challenge I have faced would be navigating and understanding the nuances of a large organisation with a global footprint, and managing expectations of multiple stakeholders and their agendas.
What advice would you give to women looking to forge a career in your industry?
In the Tech industry I'd say my advice would be; to be well informed on the industry as things move quickly. In the finance industry, my advice would be to understand your customer's business as this will always help to foster a good relationship when it comes to understanding the finer points of financial impacts.
Who has been your biggest influence professionally?
My biggest influences have been a couple of Managers and Mentors over the years, whose experience, advice and support I have found invaluable, particularly with regard to self-awareness for professional development.
What do you believe is the biggest challenge facing gender equality in the workplace?
An interesting question. I think the most obvious one is remuneration, but generally speaking I think both Technology and Construction suffer from gender inequality due to the nature of the industry, although given the latest stats on graduate recruitment I can see this changing rapidly. There's a huge amount of opportunity in these areas to close the gap.
What do you believe women uniquely bring to the table in senior positions?
I think in general, women have more empathy in leadership roles; not to be confused with weakness or inaction, simply a way of talking to people in such a way as to understand the root cause of the problem and deal with it without any form of confrontation.
What does International Women's Day mean to you?International Women's day to me is acknowledgement of the contribution that women make – both in history, and today – to the success of business and family life.
Thank you for your time in answering our questions, Victoria.

Insights People Equality The big picture


The forthcoming Paramount Network is pleased to announce that Oscar®-winning actor Kevin Costner will be starring in the title role of John Dutton in the scripted series event "Yellowstone." The program goes into production this fall and will debut in summer 2018.
Costner is world-renowned for his roles on the silver screen. From his portrayal of Eliot Ness in the "Untouchables," Crash Davis in "Bull Durham," Ray Kinsella in "Field of Dreams," and Jim Garrison in "JFK," Costner is a versatile talent with a commanding presence onscreen. Most notably, his role as Devil Anse Hatfield in "Hatfields and McCoys" garnered him an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award.
In "Yellowstone," Costner will portray John Dutton, the man who controls the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. The property is under constant attack by its neighbors - land developers, an Indian reservation, and America's first National Park. The series will explore a violent world outside of the glare of media scrutiny and focus on the delicate dynamic between politics, money, and the fight for the environment. "Yellowstone" will truly capture the best and worst aspects of the American experience.

Q: MVC 2; How to copy a Html.EditorFor field in JQuery I am trying to get used to the syntax in JQuery when using MVC 2.
I want to copy a phone number from 1 field to another. However the syntax of the line below is wrong;
$("#contractAdministratorContact_Phone").val($("#contactClientContact_Phone").val());
The above fields are defined as
<%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.clientContact.Phone)%>
<%: Html.EditorFor(model => model.contractAdministratorContact.Phone)%>

When I look at the page source, the Ids are contractAdministratorContact_Phone and contactClientContact_Phone
My script I locate at the bottom of my page;
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#chkCopyContact").click(function () {
            if ($("#chkCopyContact").is(":checked")) {
                alert("in!");
                $("#contractAdministratorContact_Phone").val($("#contactClientContact_Phone").val());
            }
            alert("done!");
        })
    });
</script>

So what should my JQuery set statement be instead?

A: Try like this:
$("#contractAdministratorContact_Phone").val($("#clientContact_Phone").val());

Notice that the first textbox id should be clientContact_Phone and not contactClientContact_Phone as in your example (Assuming the Html helper code is correct). Also make sure that the :checked condition evaluates to true so that this code is executed.

Knocks & Taps
The S.P.I.R.I.T. kids guide to ghosts and other strange things
STORIES!
Who are the S.P.I.R.I.T. kids?
About Dan Cappello
Ghost Hunting Rules!
Ten-year-olds Matt Romero, Maya Gupta, and twins Hans and Agnes Smit, have one thing in common — their parents hunt ghosts for a team called S.P.I.R.I.T.
It's not a hobby most kids' parents have. In fact, you might think it's pretty embarrassing (Matt Romero would agree). But it only took the investigation of the haunted Wally Waterston Elementary School to get all four kids to see differently. That strange autumn night inside the old school showed Matt, Maya, Hans, and Agnes that though their parents may be obsessed with investigating paranormal mysteries, it's the four of them who have all the skills to solve them.
Knocks & Taps was created to share some of the weird, strange, and creepy stories of the S.P.I.R.I.T. kids. Each week, new stories related to their experiences will appear here to help you learn about ghosts and all things paranormal. If you enjoy these short stories, then be on the look-out for a future S.P.I.R.I.T. kids book series that will be filled with the teams most terrifying tales.
