I just read again this long thread and it confirms me that it is very difficult to predict the future of blockchains. These last weeks counterparty transactions were very low, and reasonably quick. I personally made more than 30 transactions, now always with the lowest fee of 1 satoshi/byte. It simply works fine. The mood Bitcoin/Counterparty is good. Other major blockchains are a little more under pressure. Honestly, I think that we did not manage too wrongly with our priorities and resource allocation. But the main message of my post is that everything can change quickly, and having a mid-term approach seems good.
Yes scaling and high capacity of blockchains are one the improvements a lot of people have a focus, and especially for games which design put a lot of game mechanics on the blockchain (+aspect of the transaction fees). EOS is one of the promising blockchains for that. Such talks were common for us, starting by request from the community to move to Ethereum. We have new products in the pipeline for this blockchain: the game à table ! and our multichains wallet Casa Tookan. We follow these blockchain initiatives and their promises, e.g. the Loom sidechain usage in gaming as complementary to Ethereum. But we will act with decision to embrace or switch to a new blockchain more with proven usage at large scale by real products (e.g. other games). Any important game running on EOS will naturally be part of our technology screening of blockchain for gaming and collectibles.
Hello What are the possible changes? 1) Counterparty no more on BitCoin a. by Counterparty itself : some initiative discussed, but not really started, a clear consensus is not reached b. other people do forks: initiatives started on Mona, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash - we follow it c. we EDS do our own Counterparty fork on another blockchain : better to group other service/company/organisation together for 1) b. 2) out of Counterparty on another blockchain a. Which one is the good one? Half a year ago we started already this discussion, a lot were asking for Ethereum ERC-20 (we started analysis), today it would be more questionable, & and in 6 months? b. it requires several steps before implementation, analysis started, big project with long migration period (estimated 6 months to on-board all SoG cards & BCY holders, proof of wallet ownership), points to consider: blockchain (reliability, transaction tine & cost, API, etc.), SoG cards, other game's & collection's tokens playable in SoG, BCY, wallets (mobile & web, cold, burn), trading exchange, etc. Today we are with 1) a. but no quick improvement solution seems to emerge soon I consider that we have not enough visibility to engage in selection & implementation of 2), but we further follow it. Short-term, the recommended path to engage in is 1) b. We estimate to have more info & feedback for end of January 2018.
In general Steem is focused on content and media related services. Their SMT (Smart Media Token) has a USP differentiation for "incentivizing content creation and curation, … and for a voting system", not really needed for the creation of digital assets linked to blockchain token. Anyway their intention to be an alternative to Ethereum ERC-20, and other aspects, like low transaction fee make it worth to follow. Additionally we can consider that these possibilities of content, curation, voting, with token reward for contribution would be more suited for our potential "Project Nova" with the community participating to the creation of game's content or features to be rated and monetized. Thanks for the reference.
And the fraudulent link is sent by the slack bot of counterparty slack (deactivated user @ alex).
The problem is on the side of the Google Play Store. But I cannot find explanation of the Error code: 0. Do you have the same error with another app, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=inc.indiesquare.orbbook (if you have to test an app download, I prefer that it wil be this one ;-) ) If not sorry for very standard advice: phone off/on, delete some apps or file to ensure you have enough memory space.
Hello Thanks for the ideas and discussion. Yes rewarding the players from their leaderboard ranking is something we started. The orientation is more for blockchain cards directly and other in-game elements (e.g. in-game cards, gold). We take care to avoid potential barriers for the player to receive the reward. For that, in-game elements are very good as they are available when you login in the game. The blockchain card requests that a counterparty (XCP) wallet is linked to the SoG player account. This is something additional that a player can do now in our site spellsofgenesis.com, but planned within the SoG app in the next release. Distribution of BCY is another option but more complicated, adding the buying process. Good to review this option later, after the analysis of the 1st leaderboard reward distribution, and after more players have linked their counterparty (XCP) wallet. So we plan to see how the initial reward distributions work, then we can better define the next ones. For buying gems with BCY, it is not possible as you must use the official app payment system of apple. Buying outside is anyway subject to apple analysis. For the understanding of gold/crystals/gems as in-game elements we prefer to keep buying one of these (gems) with in-game payment, separated for blockchain cards tradeable outside of the game with BCY. Naturally we follow the evolution of app/play store rule concerning payment & blockchain elements (especially crypto-currencies), to adapt when suited.
hello @wachtwoord We tried to reproduce your case and did not succeed. But we found another bug that we believe could be related: "Raid Cards Distribution with Double Display in Team". The card won by Raid are displayed incorrectly 2 times in the deck (Team). But if you leave the "Team" area, or do an action (e.g. fuse, or in my screenshots example here: crystalize), then there is a refresh and the card is no more displayed 2 times, but only once. Can you remember if it was something similar in your case?
For the 1st point, we adapted the cards sales, there is no more new cards every week. We made sales with previous cards and no sales this week. For the 2 other points (Counterparty CIP 9 & 11, 2nd blockchain technology) started high-level scenario & alternatives, but we will further follow main crypto evolution till 1st week of August. In between the mempool has improved and transaction during week-end are sometime acceptable. Additionally, we are working on the integration (linking Counterparty/XCP wallet) within the SoG of the BoO app (Book of Orbs). This should help a part of our audience to start with wallet, blockchain, SoG cards.

This post will show how you can set up Third Party Updates in SCCM Current Branch 1806 using a catalog from Patch My PC. This is a fresh lab with no certificates or GPO's configured. We will let SCCM create the Trusted Publisher certificate and take care of it on the clients by configuring the SCCM client settings, and also use the client settings to allow signed updates from an intranet location.
The below set up has the SUP installed on the same server as my Primary Site. My SUP is configured for HTTP mode. SSL must be enabled on the SUP if it is remote. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/sum/deploy-use/third-party-software-updates for further details.
First thing is to enable third party updates, and then let SCCM manage the certificate.
If you open up certlm.msc you can also see the WSUS Publishers Self-signed certificate in the WSUS store.
You can also see this certificate in the Trusted Publishers store as well.
Once the sync has completed, you can see there is now information about the certificate in the third party updates tab of the software update point properties.
Next we will configure third party updates in the client settings. Open up the client settings and select the software updates section, then enable third party updates. This will add a local policy to the clients to allow signed updates from an intranet location, and also install the code signing certificate into the trusted publishers store. There is no need for a GPO to do this.
If you open gpedit.msc on a machine that has received the new policy, and go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update, you will see the "Allow signed updates from an intranet Microsoft update service location" is now enabled.
If you doa gpresult /computer you can also see the local policy has set this as well.
You can also see that the code signing certificate has been installed.
Now we need to add our third party update catalogs. You will see in the SCCM console you can right click on Third Party Software Update Catalogs and add a new catalog. In my example I will be adding some Patch My PC catalogs and then syncing them.
Click on View Certificate and then click OK.
Once you have viewed the certificate you can click Next.
Once the updates have been subscribed to, the catalog will then download. You need to do a sync to import the metadata from the WSUS database into the SCCM database.
Once the sync has finished, go back into your SUP properties, click products, and add the product.
Another SUP sync needs to be done for the metadata to appear.
After the updates have been published and downloaded, we need to do another sync.
You can see that the icon has changed from the blue metadata, to green, We can now deploy our third party updates to a collection as normal.
On my test client, you can see that it needed some Adobe Acrobat Reader, Google Chrome, and an Oracle Java update.
The updates have installed correctly. We know that the trusted publisher certificate and the allow signed updates from the intranet settings worked successfully.

"I'm free." She breathes jumping to her feet. "I'm free!" Her icy hands grab my wrists.
I yank my hands free. "What? What are you talking about? Is there someone else here?" The back of my neck prickles, but I can't tear my eyes from Jessy's face.
"No!" Jessy flings herself back towards the window slamming her fists against it.
Warm breath tickles my neck. My limbs freeze. Out of the corner of my eye I see a dark shape advance on Jessy. She claws at the shards in her eye sockets and I wish I could look away. The bloody shards clatter to the ground.
The figure whirls around to face me and I bolt. The steps bow beneath my feet. I hear the thing panting behind me. As I hit the main level I almost stumble in relief. Crisp autumn air filters through the open front door chasing away the awful smells. This will be one hell of a Halloween story.
Then the colors fade around me. The floor lurches to the right. My face smacks against the floorboards, and I watch as the barren trees bend in the breeze until darkness swallows it all.

A centre-right Christian party for New Zealand?
On Saturday National Party Member of Parliament Alfred Ngaro launched a scathing attack on the use of abortion in New Zealand. Mr Ngaro shared on his Facebook page a comment about abortion being "an unholy holocaust in this nation".
Mr Ngaro's attack on abortion came as he discussed with National Party leader Simon Bridges, the possibility of a right-leaning Christian party for New Zealand.
New Zealand has had a bit of a chequered history with right-leaning Christian parties. United Future entered Parliament as a centre-right leaning group which was the result of Future New Zealand (formed 1994) becoming United New Zealand (1995). When they took 8 seats at the 2002 General Election, United Future almost immediately ran into trouble with one Member of Parliament being forced to resign before even being sworn in because that Member was not a New Zealand citizen. It went on to support the fifth Labour Government of Prime Minister Helen Clark. In 2005 it was reduced to three Members of Parliament, during which time it shifted to the political centre, having shorn itself of its strongly Christian M.P.'s and then to just the Leader, Peter Dunne in 2008. He supported the fifth National-led Government until retiring in 2017 and United Future dissolved the following year.
Around the same time as United New Zealand came into existence, so did Christian Democrat Party (1995) which merged with the older Christian Heritage Party (1989) to become the Christian Coalition. This disintegrated with the Christian Democrats joining United N.Z. after two years as a revived Future N.Z. Christian Heritage went their own way and ran into public disgrace and ultimately disbanded after it was found that the Leader Graham Capill was a paedophile who had violated numerous young girls.
Further fringe parties continued to form outside of Parliament from 2003 to 2007 (Destiny New Zealand, The Kiwi Party and The Family Party). The parties were made up of disgruntled United Future members who had lost their seats in the 2005 General Election and the remnants of older failed parties. They all stood on socially conservative grounds with opposition to same sex marriage, abortion, promoting strong family policies and a hard line on justice. By 2012 all of them had disbanded or had merged with the Conservative Party of New Zealand under the now disgraced Colin Craig. The Conservative Party was the largest party outside of Parliament in the 2017 General Election.
Out of all of this, only Peter Dunne, who retired from politics in 2017 came out with a respectable record. Mr Dunne left Labour in the early 1990's to help establish an independent party, and eventually became the Leader of United/Future (and United Future)New Zealand through its various forms including an 8 week period in 2013 where it was deregistered for lack of members. Mr Dunne held the Ministerial warrants of Inland Revenue and Associate Health until his retirement.
It is against this backdrop we now watch to see if Mr Ngaro will proceed to form a party. Coming so soon after the Christchurch terrorist attack, one might well wonder whether it is an appropriate time to be launching a Christian Party. But Mr Bridges would not be drawn on that, saying he simply told Mr Ngaro to contact with him when things have progressed.
Whilst Mr Bridges might be trying to cultivate support among Christians in New Zealand who may feel burnt by the huge support for the Muslim community, he needs to be careful. His support for President Donald Trump of the United States at a time when Mr Trump is aggressively pursuing policies that are biased against Muslims and openly endorsing the Christian right is at risk of directly clashing with post-Christchurch terrorist attack sentiment.

How to flatten the curve of coronavirus, a mathematician explains
Written by Andrew Black, Lecturer in Applied Mathematics, University of Adelaide
People travelling into Australia will now have to self-isolate for 14 days – one of a range of measures announced at the weekend by Prime Minister Scott Morrison, with the aim of slowing the spread of the coronavirus and easing the stress on hospital beds.
This general concept of slowing the virus's spread has been termed "flattening the curve" by epidemiologists – experts who study how often diseases occur in different populations, and why. The term has become widespread on social media as the public is encouraged to practise "social distancing".
But how does social distancing help to flatten the curve? We can explain by referring to what mathematicians call "exponential growth".
In the early stages of an epidemic, when most people are susceptible to infection, mathematicians can model a disease's spread from person to person as essentially a random "branching process".
This diagram shows the number of cases, over time, in a branching process with exponential growth. Author Provided.
If one infected person infects two others on average, the number of infected people doubles each generation. This compounding is known as exponential growth.
Of course, an infected person is not definitely going to infect others. There are many factors affecting the likelihood of infection. In a pandemic, the growth rate depends on the average number of people one person can infect, and the time it takes for those people to become infectious themselves.
Read more: Coronavirus and COVID-19: your questions answered by virus experts
Research suggests the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is growing exponentially worldwide with the number doubling about every six days
Exponential growth models closely match reality when starting with a small number of infected individuals in a large population, such as when the virus first emerged in Wuhan, or when it arrived in Italy or Iran.
But it's not a good model once a large number of people have been infected. This is because the chance of an infected person contacting a susceptible person declines, simply because there are fewer susceptible people around, and a growing fraction of people have recovered and developed some level of immunity.
Eventually, the chances of an infected person contacting a susceptible person becomes low enough that the rate of infection decreases, leading to fewer cases and eventually, the end of the viral spread.
Health authorities around the world have been unable to completely prevent COVID-19's spread. If cases double every six days, then hospitals, and intensive care units (ICUs) in particular, will be quickly overwhelmed, leaving patients without the necessary care.
But the growth rate can be slowed by reducing the average number of cases that a single case gives rise to.
In doing so, the same number of people will probably be infected, and the epidemic will last longer, but the number of severe cases will be spread out. This means that if you plot a graph of the number of cases over time, the rising and falling curve is longer but its peak is lower. By "flattening the curve" in this way, ICUs will be less likely to run out of capacity.
Flattening the curve is another way of saying slowing the spread. The epidemic is lengthened, but we reduce the number of severe cases, causing less burden on public health systems. The Conversation/CC BY ND
As there is currently no vaccine or specific drug for COVID-19, the only ways we can reduce transmission is through good hygiene, isolating suspected cases, and by social distancing measures such as cancelling large events and closing schools.
Avoid "super-spreaders"
Of course, the situation is not quite as straightforward as a simple branching process. Some people interact more than others, and might come into contact with many different groups.
Read more: There's no evidence the new coronavirus spreads through the air – but it's still possible
Mathematicians model these connections as a social network, such as the one below. Infected people are red nodes, and susceptible people are blue. The large node in the middle of the diagram is a super-spreader, a person who connects with many others, and thus has more potential to spread the disease.
This graph shows how an epidemic might spread across a network over time. Blue dots are susceptible individuals, while red dots are infected people. Two dots are connected by a line if they are in contact with each other, and the more contacts a person has, the bigger their dot is on the network. Author provided
Interventions help remove nodes and break connections.
In the diagram above, the large, highly connected central node would be the best one to remove to break connections. This is why it's a good idea to avoid large public gatherings during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Mathematical simulations of social distancing have shown how breaking the network apart helps flatten the curve of infection.
How maths is helping
How much social distancing is required to flatten the curve enough to stop hospitals being overwhelmed? Is it enough to quarantine people who have been in contact with confirmed cases? Do we need widespread closure of events, schools and workplaces?
Answers to these questions require mathematical modelling.
We are still in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and there is great uncertainty about the characteristics of this virus. To accurately forecast COVID-19's growth, the underlying dynamics of transmission need to be determined.
These are driven by factors including:
How many people on average does an individual infect? (the "reproduction number" which, according to the World Health Organisation, is currently between 1.4–2.5 people)
How long until the onset of symptoms? (the "incubation period", which is estimated to be 5.1 days)
What proportion of transmission occurs prior to the onset of symptoms, if any?
As such data is collected and integrated into models over the coming months, we will be better placed to offer accurate predictions about the course of COVID-19.
Until then, it's better to err on the side of caution and take swift action to slow transmission, rather than risk a spike in cases, and put strain on our health system.

The first time River enters L-Space, she's working late on her dissertation in her university library.
It's 4am and she can hear voices where there should be none, so she does what any self-respecting student does when faced with that situation. She grabs a large book that can double as a weapon and an alibi and sets off to investigate.
What she finds, is an unlikely world that is both completely flat and where magic is real. The particular part of it that she finds herself in, is additionally under attack by some marauding creatures with a surfeit of heads and tentacles. Oddly the wizards, whose library she's found herself in, are almost more upset about a woman appearing in their midst than they are about the creatures. Fortunately the Librarian – who is inexplicably an Orangutang – is a good deal more practical and trades her a sword for her oversized book and joins her on a quick and devastating campaign against the invaders while the rest of wizards are busy arguing. River doesn't know much about Demon Dimensions, but when it comes to saving planets from aggressive alien invasions, she's uniquely qualified.
The wizards blame quantum and one of the attending Watch officers hails from the Ramtops and argues that it's circle time, but they agree on one point. If she sticks around much longer she'll get stuck, so reluctantly she retraces her steps and finds herself back in the library of the university she actually attends, with a burning desire to learn Orangutang. The Librarian had clearly been the only sane mind amongst them.
When she returns to the library the next day, there's no sign of the stacks she'd wandered - or indication of any portals to other places - to be found. She even tries staying up all night at the same table, ears pricked for any weird sounds or carrying voices, in case it's a regular temporal effect. All to no avail. Most other students would have just shaken their heads and presumed they'd been dreaming, but River is not most other students. She lives with a far scarier piece of knowledge: the universe is weirder than we know.
On the plus side the extra-credit paper she wrote on her research into L-Space won her a small but lucrative prize from the quantum mechanics department, which went a long way to funding her next archaeological field trip.
The last time River Song enters L-Space it is entirely on purpose. She's running for her life through a library so large, so comprehensive, that it is known simply as 'The Library'. She's been in some dangerous and deadly spots over her long life (lives, she supposes), has run through thousands of mazes and even a few libraries that she suspected of actively trying to kill her.
Behind River, the lights start to go out and she breaks into a run.
There's a knack to getting into L-Space and its different for each and every visitor, River's pretty certain that she and the Doctor are the only people in this universe that can do it at a run. There's a turn and a twist and then suddenly she's somewhere else. She's still in the stacks but they're different stacks, she pauses only long enough to catch her breath and establish her bearings before she's off again. She's had a lifetime to learn to trust the Doctor implicitly and totally – and also to learn exactly when not to trust him – but there's only one person she's met in the entire multiverse who could banish an infestation of Vashta Nerada from an entire universe. He owes her, he'll be listening, so she calls his name.
"OOOOOK!!!!!" The echoes are strange here but they give her a bearing and with a grim smile she heads in a new direction.
The librarian pads carefully through his stacks, it wasn't her shout that woke him – he's learned to sleep through students screaming, having learned long ago that by the time a wizarding student screams for help its already too late to help them – but rather the distressed and disquieted rustling of the books. They are restless tonight, fearful, as though they can sense that something bad is happening out there.
He walks through the stacks, searching for the source of their disquiet, running long gentle fingers over their spines, reassuring them as he passes. He has taken care of them for a long time, fought off many invaders and attackers in that time, so most of them quiet, assured that he is awake and on the case. Still, there is an underlying edge of tension among the stacks.
He turns a corner to find a young-looking woman walking towards him and remembers with some regret that often the worst threats come wearing the face of a friend.
River starts towards him but he raises a hand.
She stops as instructed and turns to look behind her. He can't see her expression, but he does see the resigned fall of her shoulders when she sees what he does. She has two shadows.
Most wizards aren't afraid of the dark, it's part of being a wizard, knowing that you're the scariest thing you're likely to meet in the dark. The Librarian isn't afraid of the dark either, he respects the dark, walks through it with care, carefully researches every last thing that might be lurking in the dark and learns how to fight it.
The creatures that had arrived preying on River's shadow were among the few species he was still scared of, and it was small comfort that he was fairly certain that he was one of the few creatures the Vashta Nerada feared in return.
Some wizards will tell you about the importance of wands and staff, dribbly candles, occult chanting and amulets, but when push comes to shove, none of those are necessary when you need to save your own skin. The Librarian flexed his fingers, said Ook in a way that was both very quiet and controlled, and at the same time so forceful it had strange echoes, causing small vivid red sparks to shoot out of his fingers. It didn't look like much but River's second shadow glowed fizzing red, convulsed and disappeared. He'll need to do a full and thorough sweep of the Library before morning to make sure no more of their kin have sneaked through, but for now there are more important things to attend to. The Librarian grins widely and opens his arms, and in turn River bounces forward to share a hug with her old friend.
She doesn't ask for his help and he doesn't remind her about the rules he cannot break, but they both hear the unspoken exchange nonetheless.
Time is relative. Time when travelling via L-Space is even more relative than normal, but River can't escape the feeling that she's somewhat against the clock here. If she had her own way she'd be running at full tilt, but this is the Librarian's territory so his rules go. So they walk steadily out beyond the stacks we know into the unknown, she'd be hopelessly lost within five minutes but he moves with a confidence that suggests he knows exactly where he's going. She has feeling of ceilings getting higher, of shelves becoming more ornate. River's quite certain she's never been here before but it feels strangely familiar, but then given how much her memory has been interfered with over the years she keeps an open mind.
They stop in front of the biography section. The Librarian climbs high above her to retrieve a certain book. On the cover there is a symbol that the Librarian recognises even though he cannot read a word of this world's writing system. It is the name of one of the few creatures that the Librarian still fears. Who would never forgive him if he knew that the Librarian had lied to him about being able to access this particular library. The wrath of a deadly enemy is nothing to that of a friend who feels betrayed. He hands the book over to River and hopes that he's correct in thinking she'll keep his secret once she figures it out.
"Hello sweetie," River says sadly, paging through it. The Librarian pats her apologetically on the head.
"Ook." It's time to go, River needs to get back before its too late for the book to do any good.
Above them the stars are going out.
He accompanies her back to her own Library. It's something of legend among the Librarians of Time and Space in its own right, and given what he now knows about the place this will likely be his only chance. This infestation cannot be banished; this is where it belongs. River doesn't understand that, but she will soon he's sure.
"Oook, Oook," says River, gratitude and regret warring in her voice.
"Ook, Oook," responds the Librarian regretfully as he watches her slot the book into a shelf where the Vashta Nerada will find it easier. He can't interfere with the nature of causality, but he can give it small nudge when no-one's looking.
Real names exchanged they part for the last time.
There's a turn and a twist and then suddenly she's somewhere else. She's still in the stacks but they're different stacks. . .
This is actually... a great crossover idea. *charmed* River and the Librarian are totally bros! And I wish there were legit Doctor Who footage of River crying for the Librarian.


Here are some research projects to which the jEPlus team has made contributions.
The increased usage of ICT, together with growing energy costs and the need to reduce greenhouse gases emissions call for energy-efficient technologies that decrease the overall energy consumption of ICT. So far, efforts in eco-efficiency have mainly targeted hardware and data center technologies. Less attention has been given to software eco-efficiency. Although it has a direct impact on system's energy consumption; software usually controls how computing equipment is utilized. Covering the full service life cycle, from application design, development, deployment and operation, as ASCETiC ambitions to do, is crucial to determine and optimize the energy usage of the complete system, considering software and hardware as an interrelated mechanisms.
jEPlus tools will make use of the ASCETiC platform and provide an energy efficient simulation back-end for GreenPrefab, one of the project partners. The GreenPrefab system will help architects and designers selecting energy efficient and low carbon solutions for prefabricated buildings.
Following on from the success of our last Design Optimisation Competition the jEPlus team and DesignBuilder Software joined force again to announce a new round of the competition. The DOC2014 offers the opportunity to use the latest DesignBuilder Optimisation tools and the jEPlus' remote simulation capability to solve a challenging building design problem.
The purpose of the competition is to promote awareness of a new breed of optimisation tools which can help with decision making at any stage of the design process. These tools provide powerful techniques for identifying optimal designs that meet potentially conflicting design requirements such as minimising environmental impact while also minimising development costs and at the same time satisfying constraints such as providing minimum levels of occupant comfort.
Participants will get advance access to the DesignBuilder Optimisation software, which will help give them the best possible chance of winning the competition. Optimisation requires many hundreds of simulations to be carried out to perform an accurate analysis. In DesignBuilder these simulations can be run in parallel on your local machine, on a network server or for the fastest results over the internet on the De Montfort University high performance supercomputer through the JESS service.
DesignBuilder Software Ltd. (DBS), De Montfort University (DMU) and Zero Energy Design Ltd. (ZED) have teamed up in the research and development of innovative building performance simulation software that can be used to assist design decision making in all stages of the life cycle of low impact buildings. The most significant innovations include: (1) the concept of "one tool, multiple user interface" to meet the demands of different target audiences; (2) the first commercial software with robust algorithmic optimisation capability suitable for selecting practical cost-effective energy-saving measures; and (3) a new on-line service-based business model that will help build a user community and provide easy access to design guidance and facilities.
The primary output of the project will be a low impact building design/decision tool capable of identifying a range of optimal design configurations. The tool will be accessible and useful for a number of industry user groups from architects through property owners to occupants. The new software will be based on DBS's existing industry-leading product, DesignBuilder v3. The expertise of the academic partner (DMU) in cutting-edge optimisation technologies and knowledge of existing UK building stock, plus ZED's expertise in delivering low impact building design will be integrated in the new tool. In addition to the new user interfaces and the optimisation engine, a library of components and templates, cost and carbon emission models, as well as a prototype of the on-line service platform, will be developed.
Improving the environmental performance of buildings is a major challenge for architects. At the design phase, architects need to take on board a number of often conflicting factors, ranging from building energy performance, optimisation of indoor daylight and the active and passive collection of solar energy for visual, acoustic and thermal comfort, as well as reducing the embodied energy of buildings. As a pilot in VENUS-C, the Royal Danish Academy is developing an eco-efficiency analysis cloud-based service, a complete building energy simulation programme enabling architects, civil engineers and researchers to model the use of energy and water in buildings. EnergyPlus is a new service that is complementary to VENUS-C services for 3D rendering visualisation and the structural analysis of building. These services now form part of an innovation cluster through the HUB-E initiative led by Collaboratorio.
The project 'Community Resilience to Extreme Weather' (CREW) was established to gain a better understanding of the effects of future climate change on extreme weather events, and to develop a set of tools for improving local-community resilience. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding brought together scientists from a range of engineering, social and physical sciences from 14 UK Universities to determine likely future extreme weather events and to seek to develop a set of useful web-based mapping and information tools to capture and explain the latest state-of-the-art extreme weather event.
CREW focussed on understanding the probability of current and future extreme weather events and their likely socio-economic impacts. It was seen that initiatives, such as the Stern Review, provided high-level socio-economic impacts but did not provide the sub-regional or local estimates pertinent at the community and individual scale. Therefore, the CREW consortium sought to investigate these impacts at the local level (on householders, SMEs and local policy/decision makers). The research also investigated the opportunities and limitations for local communities' adaptive capacity. CREW, used five South East London boroughs as case studies, and considered the decision making processes across communities including impediments and drivers of change. A web-based portal was designed and implemented to provide a facility for presenting probable extreme weather events for a range of scenarios, and for presenting and evaluating coping mechanisms.
The Marie-Curie Research Training Network (RTN) CITYNET aims to develop tools to improve the energy management of large scale urban projects. The common scope of the network research activities is to establish an innovative internet based on-line tool for planning, managing and operating urban quarters with low energy consumption and high renewable energy fraction in order to reduce up to 30% of CO2 emissions.
A major research focus of the network is the analysis, optimization, standardization and benchmarking of existing and planned buildings and energy efficient power plants (demand and supply side) of three urban planning sites and the implementation of the results into an intelligent energy management system. This system will provide online monitoring, simulation and visualization using Geographical Information System (GIS) software as the front end.
CITYNET consists of eight university research groups from six different European member countries and Turkey as an associated candidate-country and additionally involves seven commercial enterprises as well as community authorities as hosts for visits. The research will be carried out in civil, mechanical and environmental engineering as well as architecture, building physics, social science, computer science and economy.

Hello to all my loyal NUG readers and hydro friends in San Diego. It has now been 1 year of "Growing with Mel the Bumbling Gardner" and I have to tell you, I've had a blast with this project and feel very lucky to have been able to sample so many great but very different "turn-key" growing chambers (The Spinner, Phototron, and Quick Grow Q-9). I wonder how many other gardeners in the world got a chance like this…Thank you NUG!
If you remember last month's NUG, I had just cut and trimmed "Row 1" of a 50-day grow using Heavy 16 nutrients…Really only 50 days from 7-inch clone to finished bud. You should also understand that I am not trying to grow a record harvest. What I am trying to do is find a way to plant, grow, and harvest each and every month all year long. What I am looking for is a gravy train of meds that never stops. Isn't that what we are all looking for? – I'm just saying.
Now that my "Row 1" harvest was all cut and trimmed, it was time to dry things out. Question; How do you "dry" your crop? I'll bet many of you will answer, "I hang it up to dry." Some of you will say, "I put it in the toaster oven because I can't wait. It just takes too long for it to hang dry; it just takes too much time." Now go on, I know you've used that little oven. Don't try to fool old Mel, I've been there and done that myself. If you remember last month, I let you know I had found another box with my pro-model Q-9 from Quick Grow. I have to tell you, the guys at Quick Grow really had the grower in mind when they put this package together because they send a very complete growing unit; remember, all you have to do is add water, nutrients, and the crop you like and the Q-9 will do the rest.
I was surprised at first when I opened that box. What I found inside was a "Flower & Herb Dryer." What I thought was just a big box turned out to be a well thought-out air-dryer. No one tried to reinvent the wheel; they just put all the best parts together to make a very handy accessory tool that you will use after every harvest. Quick Grow's Herb Dryer is the perfect addition to your list of must have tools. Drying time is decreased (2-6 days is normal depending on your drying room air temp) while the air flow is handled by a 3" ball bearing fan. The matching coco carbon filter air system gently moves fresh air through the box while effectively killing all odors and growing smells. The dryer bin has 2 removable mesh shelves that will hold ample amounts of flowers and herbs. All you have to do is plug it in, lay your crop on one of the mesh shelves, snap the lid down, and away you go to dry herb town. I gave it the old "smell" test: I let it run in a closed garage all day, brought the wife in and asked her what she thought about the new herb dryer. She said, "It looks great, but does it work?" All I had to do was pop off the lid…Yea, it really works.
So here I am, just about where I wanted to be. I think I've found a way to clone, veg, and flower all at the same time while still enjoying a great harvest every 30 days or so. For those of you who haven't read along last year, I think a quick review might help. First up, The Spinner…If what you are looking for is a system that eats new clones for every grow, and you want that 12 plant at a time kind of harvest, then the Spinner is hard to beat. With its 600W bulb and never-ending spinning approach to growing, it's a real performer. With a footprint less than 45 inches, this circle-shaped chamber is easy on the eye until you open the doors and let the full force of the Spinner hit you in the face.
If what you are looking for is smaller, less expensive, and easy on the pocketbook to run each month, then the Phototron just might be for you. After selling over 150 thousand units worldwide in the last 20 years, you know it is a product that works. If growing 3 plants at a time (3 feet tall) will make you happy, or if space is a problem, then a Phototron should be the perfect unit to fill your needs. You will be amazed at how much you can produce with this veteran grow chamber. I bought my first Phototron in the mid '80s; ya I'm that old. You get a 3-plant harvest of very close spaced buds every 90 days. Everyone can grow good herbs in a Phototron. So, did I save the best for last? I can't really say one system is any better than the other. Each one has its place and will do a great job. But for the way I wanted to grow, the Quick Grow Q-9 rang all my bells. The Q-9 greenhouse with its "Dual Chamber" growing system was my answer to that harvest every month, all year long lifestyle I was looking for.


We may soon be able, with good accuracy, to tell a healthy 60 year old whether or not he or she will have Alzheimer's Disease - and, perhaps, how soon the symptoms will appear. Join our panel of clinicians, lawyers, and health care workers in a discussion about the sciences that may allow us to predict the onset of alzheimer's disease, and its implications for the health care system, patients, families, and society.
The talk is sponsored by the Stanford Interdisciplinary Group in Neuroscience and Society, the same group that put on the previously blogged panel on Neuroscience in the Courtroom.
The talk begins with Hank Greely opening with a soliloqy regarding the prediction of disease. He notes that disease prediction is nothing new for the human race, and that Alzheimer's Disease (AD) holds a certain resonance, attacking our minds (a scary prospect for most people) as well as being remarkably common. He previews tonights discussion by stating that our ability to predict AD is increasing due to scientific advances. Tonights panel will cover those advances, as well as the effect on patients of this new ability, and both the legal and social implications of an ability to predict AD.
Dr. Michael Greicius; Novel Diagnostic and Predictive Tests for Alzheimer's Disease.
Currently, the clinical criteria for probable AD includes: dementia (change in cognition), deficits in two or more cognitive area (visual spatial, memory, etc), progressive decline in memory and other realms (such as executive function), no disturbance of consciousness, onset age 40-90 (mostly 65 and up), and no other explanation. Using these clinical criteria, sensitivity is fairly good , however specificity is rather poor - the distinction being that there are many false positives, but few false negatives. In speciality clinics, diagnosis is accurate 85-90% of the time, which leaves plenty of room for uncertainty. Indeed, the differential diagnosis is rather broad, including mild cognitive impairment, dementia with Lewy bodies, mass lesion, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, depression, and others. Teasing these different possibilites apart can be tricky. For example, take mild cognitive impairment, which can be thought of as a middle ground between normal aging and AD. So a patient with MCI would have memory troubles, but would be able to overcome them. Conversion from MCI to AD is thought to be approximately 12%, and it would be beneficial to have the capability to predict which patients would convert.
Revising AD criteria is ongoing, mostly involving adding biological markers. These markers are preferably diagnostic, predictive, dynamic (tracking the course of the disease, useful as a measure of treatment efficacy), and a gold standard, that it could act as a surrogate for the condition (aka becomes something to treat itself).
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE): polymorphisms, some of which confer risk for AD. It is a susceptibility gene, and is therefore not useful as a general screening tool. However, it may be predictive for how patients will respond to treatment.
Plaques and Tangles: Beta-Amyloid and Tau. These two proteins are positive markers of AD, that are used in post-mordem confirmation of an AD diagnosis. A group from Pittsburg, Klunk et al, developed a radioactive tracer that can be used to selectively image amyloid plaques in patients. Some limitations are that healthy controls can be positive for the tracer (as high as 51% positivity in health older controls). In addition, amyloid imaging is not dynamic, with signal peaking early in the condition, and not necessarily getting worse during disease progression. In terms of prediction, amyloid imaging is strongly predictive of which MCI patients will convert to AD.
Spinal fluid markers: Tau is increased and Beta-amyloid is decreased within the spinal fluid of patients - this pattern is predictive in MCI to AD conversion, as well as being sensitive and specific for AD. In addition, a recent study (Fagan et al, Arch Neurol 2007) showed that spinal levels of tau/beta-amyloid can predict the conversion from healthy aging to mild dementia.
Predictive use of biological markers: amyloid imaging is used in selecting people for clinical trials, will soon be used in clinical settings. More ethically dubious is the use of predictive screens for healthy control (this will be covered later in the discussion). Greicius concludes by stating that all the clinical advances are paving the way toward development and early initiation of a definitive AD treatment.
Frank Longo, who is discussing the impact of predictive ability on patients.
Longo comments that the ability to predict onset of neurodegenerative diseases is currently available, in the case of Huntington's disease (HD). In the case of HD, genetic testing can confirm with 100% accuracy whether a patient will develop HD during the course of their lifetime. So HD can serve as a model for the ability to apply AD prediction within a clinical setting. Longo describes the protocol for HD genetic testing, saying that it includes genetic counseling, speaking with a trained neurologist, and finally DNA testing, with predetermined follow-up testing. Given a definite protocol, Longo describes his experience with patients, and with the process of giving news. He describes that process that people given a positive prediction for a neurodegenerative disease go through several stages, including resignation, relief because they at least know what the future is bringing, but also highly individualized stress. He describes some of the effects on family and significant others, who are also affected by a positive predictive diagnosis. Longo describes studies on stress in patients given good and bad news regarding their Huntington's diagnosis, saying that generally, data show a general reduction in stress. Longo says that this reduction in stress holds true for positive diagnoses of abnormal BRCA1/2 genes. Longo concludes by stating that the ability to predict AD must be considered in the context of the effect it will have on patients, and patient-family dynamics.
And next is Michael Gilfix.
He will speak as a practicing attorney, who will discuss his experience working with patients and planning of their legal affairs. He notes that the first reaction many patients have is planning for long term medical costs. Proactivity is important, as is applying for government benefits. There appears to be many legal ways to protect personal assets, as well as protocols for transferring legal responsibilities. Gilfix counsels the importance of taking proactive steps while they are still proactive - the sooner a legal plan is in place the better, appears to be his message. He concludes that the advent of predictive testing would allow much more sophisticated planning.
And lastly, Hank Greely takes the podium.
He will discuss the wider societal implications of AD. He starts by noting the differences between HD and AD, primarily the rates of incidence (very low in HD and common in AD) and the distinction between having a risk and knowing for sure (AD or HD, respectively). Now he speaks regarding the topic of regulation of predictive testing. Who will administer the test, who will decide whether any particular test works, who will regulate how the healthcare system will use this predictive information. As he has commented in other discussions, discrimination against those with positive predictive tests will assuredly be an issue. For example, spinal fluid tests are not protected against discriminate as predictive genetic tests are. And even so, employment discrimination against those with positive genetic tests is illegal, which does not mean that it will not happen (see racial and gender discrimination). Furthermore, genetic tests cannot be discriminated against in the realm of health insurance, but not long-term care insurance. In terms of predictive tests that denote "high risk", there are no specific protections against discrimination. He concludes that our society is really unready to handle the consequences of predictive tests for a variety of neurodegenerative conditions.
Question one, directed to Greicius, regards the cost of the biomarkers for AD, and why he did not recommend more cost-effective tests (such as hippocampal volume)?
Greicius respondes that many of the more cost-effective tests are, in his opinion (and in the opinion of the American Academy of Neurologists), not as accurate as the more expensive diagnostic tests mentioned during his presentation, and cannot be used as a predictive assay for AD.
Question two, mentions the use of calcium channel blockers in an AD mouse model, and asks whether any members of the panel can discuss the study.
Longo responds, saying the calcium channel blockers is just one of many, many drugs that have been shown to be effective in mouse models of AD. Should we use these medications (which are often used in humans to treat other conditions) on the basis of mouse models alone? He notes that no medications identified in mouse models have been shown to be ineffectual in humans, in addition carrying significant side effects.
Question three, what is the youngest age at which tangles/plaques have been identified?
Answer: Perhaps late 40s, early 50s. Patients with Down's Syndrome will have AD by the time they are in their 30's, and will therefore have tangles/plaques at that age. A neuropathologist in the audience points out that although neuropathology is considered the gold standard, there is still a good deal of variation between people in terms of the amount of pathological markers and cognitive deficits. This is probably due to individual differences in susceptibility to the cellular dysfunction and its translation into cognitive phenotype.
Question four: The audience member is concerned about the possibility that not having the test will end up being frowned upon. He asks whether people have thought about mandating privacy regarding results? Greely notes that in terms of genetic testing, employers/insurance companies are not allowed to take into account genetic testing no matter what their status is - and that something similar would probably be required in terms of predictive tests. However he notes that in terms of AD, employers might not care so much, given that people will probably develop AD long after they are no longer working at the company in question.
Question five: How much do these test help us improve accuracy over the current clinical diagnostic tools?
Answer: It ups your likelihood for a correct diagnosis in atypical presentations.
The questions continue as more a discussion, with speakers going too quickly for this typist to capture in any detail. Therefore, I'm ending my coverage, encouraging readers to discuss the panel discussion in the comments.

DOJ indicts two Chinese nationals for APT10 group cyberattacks
The Department of Justice indicted two alleged members of the Chinese state-sponsored hacking group APT10, which hacked managed service providers to steal data from enterprises.
The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday indicted two Chinese nationals accused of cyberattacks around the world in association with the Chinese state-sponsored hacking group known as APT10.
The two individuals, Zhu Hua and Zhang Shilong, were indicted on several charges in connection with cyberattacks and intellectual property (IP) theft, including conspiracy to commit computer intrusions, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) said APT10 began attacks in 2006, targeting "more than 45 technology companies in at least a dozen U.S. states and U.S. government agencies." Then, in 2014, the group began targeting managed service providers (MSPs) in 12 countries, rather than attacking organizations directly.
"The APT10 Group targeted MSPs in order to leverage the MSPs' networks to gain unauthorized access to the computers and computer networks of the MSPs' clients and to steal, among other data, intellectual property and confidential business data on a global scale," the DOJ wrote in its announcement. "For example, through the MSP theft campaign, the APT10 Group obtained unauthorized access to the computers of an MSP that had offices in the Southern District of New York and compromised the data of that MSP and certain of its clients involved in banking and finance, telecommunications and consumer electronics, medical equipment, packaging, manufacturing, consulting, healthcare, biotechnology, automotive, oil and gas exploration, and mining."
During a press conference announcing the indictments, FBI Director Christopher Wray called out the Chinese government for its extensive hacking campaigns against U.S. companies and government agencies.
"No country poses a broader, more severe long-term threat to our nation's economy and cyber infrastructure than China," Wray said.
In August, cybersecurity vendor CrowdStrike published a report on APT10, also known as Stone Panda, that named Shilong as a suspected member of the group and provided information connecting APT10 to China's Ministry of State Security.
"It is unprecedented and encouraging to see the U.S. government, joined by so many international allies, taking a decisive stance against Chinese state-sponsored economic espionage," CrowdStrike co-founder and CTO Dmitri Alperovitch wrote in a statement. "For the past year, CrowdStrike has been reporting on the increase of activity we've seen from Chinese state-affiliated cyber threat actors, aimed at stealing trade secrets from nearly every sector of the economy, including biotech, defense, mining, pharmaceutical, professional services, transportation, and more.
"Today's announcement of indictments against Ministry of State Security (MSS), whom we deem now to be the most active Chinese cyber threat actor, is another step in a campaign that has been waged to indicate to China that its blatant theft of IP is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. While this action alone will not likely solve the issue and companies in U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan will continue to be targeted by MSS for industrial espionage, it is an important element in raising the cost and isolating them internationally."
Christiaan Beek, lead scientist and senior principal engineer at McAfee, based in Santa Clara, Calif., said, "Attacking the MSP means that, as an organization, it is out of your sight and control. Secondly, targeting the MSP means also more insight into multiple organizations at the same time instead of setting up separate campaigns for potential victims."
Terry Ray, CTO of Imperva, based in Redwood Shores, Calif., said the APT10 group attacks should be a case that enterprises learn from.
"This scenario of targeting MSPs, rather than organizations directly, is yet another example of the trickle-down effect -- attacking one target to gain access to something they wouldn't normally expect," Ray said. "In this case, the trickle-down is the use of one service to gain access to another. This is exactly why security teams need to take that step back away from their own company's concerns and look at how a breach of their systems could impact their customers, employees, partners and other."
Jake Olcott, vice president at Boston-based BitSight, said MSP compromises have "become a global phenomenon."
"Most organizations blindly trust that their service providers are protecting their data. Trust is not a strategy that works in the 21st century," Olcott said. "Organizations everywhere are at risk due to the rise in outsourcing and contracting. These incidents represent the No. 1 cyber-risk to organizations today, and also threaten global commerce."
As part of the campaign beginning in 2006, the DOJ said the two Chinese hackers and APT10 "stole hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive data" from technology companies, including NASA, and stole sensitive data like Social Security numbers and dates of birth for more than 100,000 Navy personnel.
Carl Wright, chief commercial officer of AttackIQ, based in San Diego, praised the indictment of the APT10 group members, because "the blatant theft of IP and other sensitive data is unacceptable."
"Despite these indictments, prosecutions are unlikely, given that the hackers are Chinese residents and extraditions are a rarity," Wright said. "These charges will restrict the international travels of those named in the filing and will send a warning to those who have not been named, potentially deterring motivation for future attacks against the United States."
Jonathan Bensen, interim CISO and director of product management at Balbix, based in San Jose, Calif., noted that the APT10 indictment "has effectively scrubbed the bilateral agreement between the United States and China in 2015 that called for a truce against hostile cyberattacks and espionage."

Next month, female veterans of World War II will be given a well-deserved honor in Minnesota: a recognition that they did their part. Virginia Allen of Minneapolis would like to see volunteers officially recognized as veterans, too.
The word volunteer doesn't begin to convey her service, which took her from helping the most seriously injured fliers at a Florida hospital to rallying morale in Burma as "G.I. Jill," the antidote to the anti-American messages of Tokyo Rose.
Allen, now 89, had graduated from William and Mary and had hoped to move to France, but the war had other ideas and she volunteered at a hospital in Florida.
Virginia worked as a civilian employee for Army Intelligence, which gave her more information about what was going on than many of her contemporaries. And when a young soldier to whom she was engaged was killed in a plane crash in Africa, she decided she wouldn't get involved with anybody until after the war. Still, she had a sense of wanting to do more. She headed overseas.
She and her best friend joined the Red Cross, got on a special train and headed to New York and, she presumed, France. "When we woke up, we saw cornfields. We were heading west. After training at a California Marine base, she and her best friend boarded a ship, the destination of which was secret. They ended up in Calcutta. "I had seen the bashed-up GIs, thank God, because I don't know if I would've been able to make it through all that happened in India," she said.
"You don't have time to think of your morale, you're too busy to think about their morale. That's the thing that saved us. If they were down we had to dream up something. We even had a program called 'manners.' These guys requested that over and over again. We did it as an experiment," she said.
"Did you listen to her?" I asked.
"We were coming from two different places. And she lied and I didn't," she said.
She wants to be sure the volunteers in the war aren't forgotten, too.


My style is natural, and I love letting moments flow and trying to create an environment of trust and fun with everyone. I like to capture moments with closeness and naturalness, trying to transmit and reflect the joy, emotion and happiness of that unforgettable day!
I love fresh and natural lifestyle photography, that always has personality! I would define myself as a Basque documentary/event photographer, or as a journalist for people and their stories. I love photography and surfing on the Basque Country coast!
A visit to Bilbao, the capital of Spain's Basque Country, is marked by the city's decidedly modern downtown skyline, particularly the famous Frank Gehry–designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. A buzzing culinary scene showcases local Basque cuisine. Go just beyond the city centre to find plenty of green beauty and one of Spain's most beautiful coastlines.
The memories you make will stay with you forever. Capture beautiful photographs in the most iconic spots with our local photographers. Choose from our favourite routes, including: Mercado de la Ribera; Paseo del Arenal; The Nervión riverside; Muelle de Marzana; or your own custom route.


I received a text, which contain a message purported to be from Elder Bednar. At first I thought "Good for my friend who attended the Conference and heard Elder Bednar speak, after years away from Church, my friend is participating again". I googled what the friend sent.
A letter from S&I Administrators Council to all All Personnel (US Only)* describes the statements as "distorted and inaccurate"; which, in my opinion, does not mean absolute fabrications and outright lies, that is, like the Apocrypha there is some truth to be found.
8 ) He [Elder Bednar] prophesied that if Mitt Romney is elected the Presidential Candidate, the things of God will be made to look foolish in the media, specifically the temple He said, those that are not strong in the faith, may be shaken by the opposition that will arise in the near future. He said, the heat is being turned on and we need to be prepared.
[Mission Presidents wife Sister Romney] expressed how when Elder Bednar came, they had a meeting with him afterwards. Elder Bednar expressed how the biggest concern of the Prophet and Quorum of the Twelve is that the members aren't converted. She mentioned a little about the political news with Mitt Romney, how Elder Bednar mentioned that in these future times, "All Hell is going to break loose". That Satan in these latter days is going to release "his wrath" and that if these members aren't converted, we will fall. It made me think of how many of us are REALLY converted into the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Two persons, with no apparent reason to fabricate allege that Elder Bednar expressed concerns for the Church Membership should Mitt Romney get the Republican nomination for POTUS candidate.
*I view this email/letter with a grain of salt, first, it is not signed by anyone; second, if the letter is authentic it is addressed specifically and solely to the US personnel and not the general membership of the Church; third, the email/letter only refers to the statements as "distorted an inaccurate".
If it weren't this candidacy it would be another public event. I don't see Romney being the catalyst as much as the latest excuse for the forces of evil.
He should be at liberty to live his life and freely practice his faith up to and including the Presidency.
There are no doubt large portions of the church who lack in testimony, but I would highly doubt the FP and the 12 would have such little confidence in the general membership of the church.
Also, I believe that this far the light it has brought on the church has been largely positive.
I agree with you. There's nothing that'll be different about the presentation ofthe LDS Church and membership in them which hasn't already been presented. And I do not think that Mitt Romney's the centerpoint for the downfall of the Church. It'll move on as usual regardless of Romney. I have seen very good things though regarding how the LDS Church is presented since the nomination proces began (with two Mormons running) and since Romney's effectively cinlched the nomination. Particularly positive is the LDS Church's emphasis on being good to others. What surprised me is how deeply Mitt Romney's a true man of service to others. I never would have known this had the media not produced a list of his services in the past as an LDS bishop.
So there will be some real attempts to discredit Romney through his faith, particularly since a good number of people from both sides are speaking in positive terms regarding Bain and other equity firms. If and when this happens, whether it be in regard to Romney... or just generally... members' faith will be tested I'm sure... what are the scriptures about there being a "sifting" in the last days.
I don't want to turn this wholly into politics, but I read this morning about how the attacks on Romney for his role at Bain Capital were not getting much traction. Obama continues to slip (albeit slowly) in polls, and I wondered "what else will they come up with against Romney between now and November?". The more I thought about it, the less I liked the answer. If Obama is comfortably ahead in the fall, things may not get too bad. But if Obama trails and nothing else has stuck to the walls, we may very well see direct and sustained attacks on the church, not by Obama directly, but by his surrogates.
Since that seems to be the scenario that is shaping up, get ready for a wild ride. I suspect that we will hear things about our religion that will make most of us scratch our heads.
That's been my conclusion for a few months.
As for Romney stepping down to spare the Saints who aren't converted, to be blunt, if they arent prepared to handle whats coming, something else is going to challenge their faith and the result is going to be the same. I dont relish what's coming, but I dont think Romney should change tactics for that reason. The last days are coming. Things are going to get stirred up soon anyway. Did anyone honestly think this period of ease and safety would last indefinitely? The Lord was giving us time to prepare ourselves and so that everyone can learn his duty. It's time for the Priesthood to step up as prophecied.
The pressures of the last days are inevitable. The wild fruit has to be cut out and cast into the fire at some point, it might as well start now. Perhaps there will come a day when mormons will protest against the 1st presidency much as Catholics are protesting now against the Pope. Just imagine a time when a group of members, including bishops and stake presidents hold up placards and subsequently get excommunicated. We have not seen opposition. We have seen amateurs fighting with the sword of ignorance. It won't always be so easy.
You have been warned in the past about making purely political posts in these threads. We allow some leeway due to a Mormon candidate but we are not turning MDD into a political debate.
26 First among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasp...hemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord.
28 But purify your hearts before me; and then go ye into all the world, and preach my gospel unto every creature who has not received it;"
The scriptures say that in the last days even the very elect will be deceived. We also know that in the last days, Satan will rage in the hearts of men. We should not be surprised if the election gets really ugly, we should expect it. But that's no reason to give up--we're Saints! We should expect persecution--it's part of the last days as well and fear of persecution of the church or it's people should not sway Romney from running.
Or, more succinctly, the words of the theatrical Theoden of Rohan after hearing the size of the army coming to attack: "Let them come."
After repelling a massive attack at Wake Island, the Marines sent a message to HQ: "Send us more Japs."
Add to that that we haven't seen any real persecution yet and I doubt Romney will cause any and I don't think we have much to worry about. When they start burning houses again I'll get excited. Until then it's mostly just words.
Things can happen quite quickly. Review the situation just 2 years before the Berlin wall came down. A couple of years before the Bosnian conflict atrosities happened,neighbors of different faiths were attending each others weddings etc.
We need to be prepared for the possibility that, just a few weeks prior to the election, a prominent individual will leave the church because of its social policies regarding blacks and its "homophobia".
"I have had increasing difficulty reconciling my membership in this church with my personal commitment to fairness and equality to all people. I can no longer remain indifferent to those policies."
The scriptures say that in the last days even the very elect will be deceived.
Matthew 24: 24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." The Joseph Smith translation keeps that caveat. Which is why I think the very elect will be able to see through the deceptions.
I note the sentence above in quotation marks... may I ask who the quote is from? Is that a real quote?
I believe it's a hypothetical statement from another prominent member in the US political sphere. At least that's how I see it.
I think Harry Reid supports SS marriage, does he not? Also abortion rights, even though he is, personally, pro-life. And, he is a member in good standing?
Sen. Reid said he'd vote for a SSM initiative in his own state. That seems like pretty limited support to me. And the Church really doesn't tell us how to vote, nor comment on how we personally interpret and apply the scriptures to legislation.

Poch demands more of Lucas Moura
28th August 2018 odds24	0 Comments Bet on football, bet on Lucas Moura, bet on spurs, Lucas Moura, thfc
Lucas Moura stars as Spurs comfortably beat Man Utd at Old Trafford 3-0 in the premier league.
Spurs signed the 26-year-old Brazilian from Paris St-Germain for £25million in January, since when he has only started four Premier League matches for Pochettino's team.
He was in the starting line-up for the victories at Newcastle United and at home to Fulham though and made it three in a row at Manchester United on Monday.
Moura, who scored in the 3-1 victory against the Cottagers at Wembley, scored another two against Man Utd in what was a very impressive and comfortable win for Spurs who won 3-0 on the night at Old Trafford. Before this victory, Spurs had won only one of 12 league games against the so-called 'big six' since beating Manchester City in February 2016.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said after the match: "It is a massive victory for us and I am very proud of the performance. "It is difficult to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. They were better in the first half but we dominated from then on, and the clean sheet was a bonus.
Before the match Pochettino remarked that "He still needs to prove [himself]," of Moura.
"He did well in pre-season but remember eight months ago when he arrived I told you, 'Careful, calm, relax – if he helps in the first few months then perfect, if not then he needs to adapt to a different reality, different club, different everything'.
"It is difficult for a player to arrive in January and show you quality. The team works and you find your place, you believe and you expect to play straight away and then you need to wait and that is so complicated.
"But what is most important is to have the possibility to show me that they deserve to play. I am happy that he scored because I am sure he will have more confidence in the future."
Spurs are now joint top having collected maximum points from the opening three premier league games.
Spurs, who have failed to win their last four matches at Old Trafford under Pochettino, are 4/9 to finish in the top four this season, while United are available at 7/4.
