Sainz: Winning Dakar "has to be the goal" in first year with Audi
Sergio Lillo
Oct 4, 2021, 9:25 AM
Carlos Sainz says he has to target victory in the 2022 Dakar Rally after joining forces with Audi, but is aware of the "gigantic challenge" the German manufacturer faces with a complex electric powertrain.
Two-time World Rally champion Sainz and his former X-raid Mini teammate Stephane Peterhansel will spearhead Audi's return to cross-country rallying in the Saudi Arabia-based marathon next year, joining former DTM star Mattias Ekstrom in a three-car line-up.
The Ingolstadt-based manufacturer is entering the Dakar with the radical RS Q e-tron, taking advantage of new rules that will allow it to challenge for outright victories with an electric-powered car.
However, the nature of the powertrain has added an extra degree of challenge and head of Audi Sport Andreas Roos admitted last month that a lot of work remains to be done following a two-week test in the Moroccan desert.
Sainz nonetheless says merely finishing the rally next January "won't be enough for me" and is gunning for a fourth Dakar victory following his previous successes with Volkswagen, Peugeot and Mini.
"The Mini project also had an expiry date, at my age I needed a project that was enticing enough to know that you are going to put all your energy and motivation into it, and this adventure has all the ingredients for that," the Spanish driver said in an event organised by Audi Spain attended by Motorsport.com.
"Our aspirations now are to try to win the Dakar in the first year with this car. Are we a bit crazy? Maybe yes, but we are ambitious and that has to be the goal.
"Maybe in three months' time it will change and we'll have to back off, but I know that the objective of just finishing won't be enough for me after all these years."
Carlos Sainz, Audi Sport

The Audi RS Q e-tron features an electric motor derived from the manufacturer's now-defunct programme in Formula E, while the car also houses a four-cylinder DTM-derived turbo engine to ensure the batteries can be recharged for the long marathon stages.
Audi had previously described the RS Q e-tron as the most complex car it has ever built, surpassing its all-conquering R18 LMP1 car that won the Le Mans 24 Hours three years on trot.
Sainz said he was impressed by Audi's radical new Dakar challenge having extensively tested it in Morocco, hailing the car's instant torque delivery and engine braking capabilities.
"The first sensation when you get into this car is that it runs as you accelerate; you don't have to release the clutch, or put it in gear, or change at the right revs as I did in the Dakar and rally cars until now. Here, you accelerate and you're off to the front," explained the 59-year-old, who will again have Lucas Cruz as his co-driver.
"For example, I had never worked with engine braking before and it's super effective on this car, it's spectacular. The torque and the power is immediate.
"Passing dunes is much easier, you don't think about the gears, you don't take your hands off the wheel, you think about where you're going to pass, concentrated, without having to think about what gear you have to engage, whether or not you'll be able to climb.
"Perhaps the fun of this whole challenge is to work on things that I hadn't worked on before. It's a continuous learning process to know how the car works, and the improvements you can make.
"For example, the engine braking, which I always had a disc brake feeling, and now the pedal travel has a software part that brakes the front and rear engine depending on the configuration before using the brake calipers. It's all software management based on the settings you put on it.
"It's really impressive on a technological level the amount of parameters you can play with, also with the virtual differential; when you accelerate or brake you have a percentage of locking of that differential. It's complex, difficult, but exciting.
"For me it's something new that I'm learning, it's never too late and I've jumped on this train, which is very new. When I compare all the cars I have driven with this, you can imagine that the evolution is brutal."

While Sainz has set high ambitions for Audi's first foray in Dakar, the Spaniard is under no illusion about the scale of challenge the German manufacturer faces with its new prototype.
"This is a new project and a project like this for the Dakar, the first year is very complicated, there are always days missing, tests and so on," he said.
"When you get to Morocco, where everything comes to light, there is always a lack of time, and on top of that you have to multiply it by two-three times, because this is a gigantic challenge, with a unique technology in the Dakar, which makes it even more complicated."
Audi had originally planned to contest the Morocco Rally on October 8-13 to prepare for the Dakar Rally, but it later chose to shelve those plans in favour of more testing.
It has the option of taking part in the Ha'il International Rally on December 6-11, but it will depend on how the second round of tests in Morocco pan out, as well as the logistics involved in shipping cars and equipment to Saudi Arabia in less than a month's time for Dakar in January.

Using Physijs which uses ammo.js.
I am attempting to simply place a sphere on top of a box, the box is moving back and forth and I want the sphere to move with it while also being able to move on top of it.
I am already handling moving the object with setLinearVelocity but even with max friction the sphere doesn't "stick" to the box. I've tried increasing sphere velocity based on box speed but it doesn't seem to work.
Hope my question is clear, and please let me know if you need code samples but it will be difficult to provide a good sample since my code is all modular and split up.
Set the moving cube with weight of 1 and then setLinearFactor to x,0,x and setLinearRotation to 0,0,0. This allowed me to use setLinearVelocity as expected and then increase the velocity of my sphere on top of the cube accordingly.

1. Every 60 seconds, one router (the querier) on each network segment sends a query to the all-hosts address (224.0.0.1) to see if there is at least one host still interested in receiving the multicast group.
2. In version 2, when a host decides to leave a group it has joined it sends a Leave Group message to the all-routers address (224.0.0.2). All routers on the local segment take note, and the querier router responds with a group-specific query message (sent to the group address), asking if others are still interested in receiving that group. Interested hosts must reply with a membership report, or the querier assumes there is no need to continue forwarding the group on that segment.
3. IGMPv3 adds support for multicast source filtering.
4. A router running IGMP can coexist with routers running older versions. To do this, the router must degrade itself to the highest common IGMP version in each multicast group.
5. CGMP is a protocol that runs between switches and routers. When routers receive IGMP messages, they pass the MAC of the requestor and the multicast group requested on to the switch. The switch then cross-references the requestor with its MAC table and enables the multicast group for a port.
6. IGMP snooping enables the switch to recognize IGMP and act on it as the IGMP packets cross the switch. This allows the switch to understand the requested multicast group and the port of the requestor.
7. All routers start as queriers and transition to non-queriers if they hear another querier with a higher IP address.
9. IGMPv3 (RFC 3376) adds support for multicast source filtering and is backward compatible with v2 and v1.

What with the makeup sponge having a big moment, thanks to big promo acts by the Kardashians and other influencers, the makeup brush seems to have lost a bit of its shine. But to our greatest joy it is still in the race when it comes to obtaining a flawless complexion. For a subtle result with transparency effects, you can most definitely count on it. Even if it does tend to be expensive let's be honest (or definitely more expensive than a simple sponge).
Lancôme "Essential Makeup Artist" five brush gift set, at Debenhams.
We know all about the confusion when you're shopping for the perfect brush amongst the dozens of names and shapes available. We also know the feeling of staring at your new purchase and wondering what on earth you're supposed to do with it – most use you made of brushes was in primary school art classes. Fear not, here is our little guide to makeup brushes, the different shapes and the right steps to ensure a lovely complexion. Whatever the situation, there is always an adapted brush and solution.
Opt for a "cat's tongue" brush, with a flat and curved shape. Because of the creamy texture of foundation, go for synthetic bristles – animal hair tends to absorb the foundation rather than transfer it to the skin. To cover a whole face, synthetic is a must as if glides on skin better.
Go straight for the iconic Japanese brush: the kabuki. Prefer it in natural fibres, better adapted to powders, for a natural and diffuse application. Apply the brush directly on the pigments in order to cover it in powder, before twirling it around. As the blush will be spread equally on the brush, so will it be on your cheekbones. The result? Natural and impeccable.
A small flat brush, in "cat's tongue" shape, will wonderfully cover up those short nights. You can even apply a bit of product on the bridge of your nose to disguise any redness or imperfections.
A tapered brush with long natural fibres will be your best ally to sculpt your cheeks in a graphic manner. For a simpler yet still effective healthy glow effect, opt for a large round brush such as a kabuki.
As brushes can be a bit expensive, make the effort (it only takes 5 minutes) to keep them in good shape. This means good upkeeping. Ideally (for the brave ones among you) you would need to clean your brushes every day. With a gentle shampoo, emulsify the fibres with a circular notion in the palm of your hand. There are specialised products, but they tend to be aggressive and damaging on the fibre. Dry flat in open air. This way bacteria won't accumulate and your brush will be good as new every day! For the lazier ones, try at least to shampoo your brushes once a week.

Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977), by Stephen Jay Gould
Ontogeny and Phylogeny is a book published in 1977, in which the author Stephen J. Gould, who worked in the US, tells a history of the theory of recapitulation. A theory of recapitulation aims to explain the relationship between the embryonic development of an organism (ontogeny) and the evolution of that organism's species (phylogeny). Although there are several variations of recapitulationist theories, most claim that during embryonic development an organism repeats the adult stages of organisms from those species in it's evolutionary history.
The Sex Education of Children: A Book for Parents (1931), by Mary Ware Dennett

The Biological Bulletin
From 1886 to 1889 Charles Otis Whitman was director of the Allis Lake Laboratory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The lab was established by Edward Phelps Allis, Jr. to provide a place for biological research separate from a university setting and a place where an independent scholar like Allis himself could work. Allis had hired Whitman as an instructor to establish the lab, direct it, and lead a research program there. The lab lasted for eight years, attracted several researchers, and the papers that came out of the lab included a focus on embryology.

In 2005, the organization Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice, or ACRJ, published "A New Vision for Advancing Our Movement for Reproductive Health, Reproductive Rights, and Reproductive Justice," hereafter "A New Vision," in which the authors explain how reproductive justice is hindered by societal oppressions against women of color. ACRJ, known as Forward Together since 2012, was a founding member of SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, a collective of organizations founded by people of color that work to advance the reproductive justice movement.

Buds on Our Meyer Lemon Tree
"Everything you can imagine is real." ~Pablo Picasso
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, Mother Nature is in labor once again. All winter long she's been hibernating, gestating powerful new forms in her underground womb. Atoms and molecules have been moving around in the dark, separating and connecting, ebbing and flowing, and now she's giving us front row seats, as she does each spring, from which to view Act IV of her Birth/Growth/Death/Rebirth passion play.
Signs of her new life are sprouting everywhere, even here in Central Florida where most of our vegetation stays green throughout winter. On this morning's walk I photographed tightly folded buds that will be transformed into lemons this summer, brilliant red bottlebrush blossoms still laden with unopened buds, and fresh unfurling leaves of crape myrtle trees that spent the winter naked as skeletons.
Blossoming Bottlebrush
Where does all this new life come from? Well, that's the Big Question isn't it? The Mystery that's always confounded us, that we have yet to solve. Humanity has always reflected on it. When our ancestors sank deep into reverie, opening their minds and suspending their judgment, images entered their awareness as they observed the creations and forces of nature. Some images were borrowed from nature; others came from depths we still cannot fathom. Hungry for understanding, our forebears interacted imaginatively with their images, examined them from all angles, anthropomorphised them, embellished their attributes, furnished them with motives, and imagined nefarious plots until they'd created stories that satisfied their spirits and souls.
They told their stories, each culture in its own way, to the people around them, with images and themes that would captivate and instruct. Like the 5,000 year-old story of Sumeria's Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, who descends to the Great Below to visit her sister, Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld. Inanna…who is hung on a meat hook to rot while Ereshkigal suffers birth pangs. Inanna…who, with the help of loyal friends instructed to wait for her, is resurrected with the water of life three days later and returns to the Great Above.
Skeletal Crape Myrtles Sprouting Tiny New Leaves
Or the story of Egypt's king Osiris, first told around 4,400 years ago. Osiris…who is murdered by his brother and becomes God of the Underworld, the dead, and the afterlife. Osiris…whose wife, Queen Isis, restores his body and conceives a son from it. Osiris…who in dying and being symbolically "reborn" in his son Horus, is worshiped as God of transition, resurrection, and regeneration. Osiris…a merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife and the granter of all new life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile. Osiris, the "Lord of love" with whom the kings of Egypt were associated at death; then, "as Osiris rose from the dead they would, in union with him, inherit eternal life through a process of imitative magic." (Wikipedia)
Or Greece's Persephone who, according to the 3,500 year-old story, is kidnapped and raped by Hades, God-King of the Underworld. Persephone…beautiful daughter of Demeter, Goddess of Fertility who, in her mourning, allows vegetation to die and people to starve until Zeus allows Persephone to return. Persephone…who, according to the Eleusynian Mysteries, brings the green new shoots of vegetation with her so the cycle of life can begin anew.
And Israel's Jesus, son of a virgin who is married to a carpenter. Jesus…whose story from about 2,000 years ago tells us that he grows up to challenge the prevailing religious authorities with his gospel of love and social justice. Jesus…who heals the sick, raises the dead, makes disciples of women and fishermen and forgives prostitutes their sins. Jesus…who is killed by the Roman authorities who have invaded and conquered his land. Jesus…who is hung on a cross, buried in a cave, and reborn after three days.
"My whole endeavor has been to show that myth is something very real because it connects us with the instinctive bases of our existence." Carl Jung, Letters, Vol. 11, Page 468.
The universal story about the sacred Mystery of Life is told in myths. Each of us participates in this story, physically and mentally. Like Mother Nature, we too go through cycles. Like her we go into labor during winters when our souls have grown weary and cold. But beneath the surface, in the underground womb of our unconscious, our life energy continues to ebb and flow, separate and reconnect in new images of insights, possibilities and potential. And if, when they emerge in dreams and fantasies, we will see our images and use them imaginatively, our story can rebirth us into a new spring of hope, meaning, and resurrection.

Tags: Birth/Death/Rebirth cycle, consciousness, Easter, Joseph Campbell, Jungian psychology, miracles, myth, nature, religion, religious belief, soul, spiritual meaning, the miracle of life, The myth of Inanna, the unconscious self
One of the oldest recorded myths comes from Sumeria and tells the story of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth. After a period of growing, assuming her authority, working to bless the world with the gifts of civilization, courting, marrying, birthing and mothering, Inanna descends to the underworld to visit her sister Ereshkigal, its Queen. On the way down she is stripped one by one of all her earthly possessions: symbols of her beauty, success, femininity and the power she has worked so hard to attain. At the bottom she is met by Ereshkigal who has her hung naked on a meat hook. And there she hangs. But on the third day, with the help of her loyal priestess, Ninshubur, and Enki, the God of Culture, she's rescued and returns to life in the world above.
This is an allegory of a universal truth. Like all great myths, which are stories about our relationships with the gods, it does not have to be factually true on the outside but is always true on the inside, the domain of the soul. The truth is, whether or not we all agree on the meaning, names or details, this story is relevant to every soul.
Physically, it's about the seasonal Death/Rebirth cycles of vegetation and fertility. Psychologically, Joseph Campbell saw it as a metaphor for the soul's empowerment and evolving consciousness via the descent into the unconscious, the experience of powerlessness, and the realization of our strength through facing our disowned shadow qualities. Spiritually, it's about the universal longing for salvation and redemption through divine revelation and intervention.
To the ego it sometimes feels crucial that we get the facts right, possess the "correct" interpretation — especially the religious one — and reject the "wrong" one. But to the soul, these details are beside the point. To your soul and mine, this story is a celebration of the sacred miracle of life, and all three interpretations are equally true.
Every soul is grateful for the sun which brings warmth and light to our days so plants can grow and we can learn and improve and do the hard work that brings meaning and comfort to our lives. We're all glad when each productive day is followed by a cooler, softer, moonlit night when we can rest, enjoy our loved ones, rejuvenate our bodies and spirits.
Our souls appreciate the exquisite balance of seasons whose alternating cycles likewise bring times of arising, thriving, descending, and dying. And every soul celebrates when the ego dies to its ignorance and meanness and awakens to its nobility in a miraculous new season of enlightened forgiveness, gratitude and compassion.
Above all, our souls know our ego selves did not make any of this happen. Something far greater, some Sacred Mystery over which we have no control, some benevolent, boundless, timeless Otherness set the processes of life in motion and keeps them working. And when we set apart times like this to stop and think about it, we remember that we are blessed beyond measure to participate in this miracle.
In this season of rebirth and renewal I send my blessings to all celebrators everywhere of the miracle of life.

Mark 9:35 explains very simply how we can impress God.
The 12 apostles had been arguing among themselves as to who was the greatest, but Jesus told them they had it backwards.
Let's show great faith today.
Let's display the faith-based desire to be the servant of everyone else.
Even if some of them don't appreciate it.
And how we're to be.
I know God loves me.
I know Christ died for me.
And I know the Holy Spirit guides me and strengthens me and that He is the intercessory agent when God's power heals me or His Word convicts me.
So I should never have moments of less than complete faith, right?
I want to say that I never wonder why God hasn't solved this problem in my life or why God hasn't yet empowered me to overcome that obstacle.
I'm more faithful than I used to be, but nowhere near the 100 percent I need to be.
When struggles come, my default position should be that God already has in mind how He will bless me if I respond in the pattern of faithfulness.
God has good in mind for me when Satan is given liberty to do bad to me.
It's the story of Job. It's the promise of Romans 8:28. And it's the promise of eternal life in heaven for those who embrace the biblical promise that a perfect eternity awaits those who faithfully endure an imperfect earth until they die.
This being the case, I need to acknowledge my inadequacies of faith/strength/wisdom when I encounter challenges that I don't understand, particularly those that lure me toward thinking God doesn't care about my situation.
I believe, yes. But I need God's help in order to believe more.
Many people think that the undeniable progression of our society away from biblical morality is no big deal.
So what if people want to behave in a way that the Bible defines as sinful?
After all, nobody is getting hurt, right?
Nobody also gets hurt in the car when the driver is racing along a curvy road while none of the passengers are wearing seatbelts and no accident has happened yet.
Sadly, it is this attitude that too often leads to more white crosses on the side of the road.
The history of Old Testament Israel undeniably shows this pattern of speeding down the curvy road as the Hebrews cast off the restraints of God's Word and invariably found themselves in serious, tragic problems.
For untold millions of Americans now, the widespread ignoring of biblical teaching about sin appears to be comparable to the driver enjoying life without speed limits as the carful of friends revel in the excitement of fast-lane living.
You see what's happening to God's definition of family in the minds and hearts of the general public.
A news article today reported that the majority of Americans no longer hold to the view that marriage is only to be between a man and a woman.
Perhaps that doesn't trouble you.
What matters is does it trouble God.
The need for prayer on behalf of our nation is desperate.
Not just for a national repentance of any beliefs/behaviors conflicting with God's Word, but also for strength to hold up under the approaching tide of hassles that Christians will likely be facing as they hold to their own values regarding God's design for the family and for godly living.
What used to be rejected by most is now is accepted by most.
As Christians, we can't act surprised in the days ahead when the pressure upon us becomes oppressively strong to reject biblical values and embrace societal values.
It's a pattern of history. Check out the last verse of the Book of Judges.
We just need to prepare ourselves to remain faithful and humble and prayerful and kind through whatever we encounter.
How we respond will speak volumes to God.
Let's make the choices that humbly honor the Word, honor God, promote biblical families and protect us from being ashamed at the time we most want to avoid it — before God's throne.
This gift from the pen of King Solomon gives new meaning to the idea of the rich getting richer or to the axiom that you have to have money to make money.
The reason wise people are wise is that they know that the fountain of truth — and life success — doesn't originate from within them.
Instead, they've had their Copernican revolution — they know that they are not the "sun" of the informational solar system and that the world doesn't revolve around them.
Daily, we're to assess if we're opening our minds and hearts to the wisdom of scripture and to the sound practices for everyday living demonstrated by others.
I want to be more successful in ministry, in family life, in all my decision-making. I won't be, however, if I rely only on my own knowledge.
Trust me, I speak from experience.
Seek instruction. Hunger for it.
It's the wise thing to do.
I just finished a sermon series at church called One Month to Live. The "big idea" of the series is for believers to live each day committed passionately toward serving the Lord and serving the people in our lives as if there were no tomorrow.
When time is really short, our priority list tends to become much more clear and targeted.
The final message focused on leaving a legacy without regrets.
That's something we all want, I'm sure. We want to be remembered for the things we've done well, things we've done that helped others toward better lives.
We don't want a legacy stained by bad things.
Of course, we're not perfect. We've made mistakes. But my sense is that people don't cling to our mistakes if they weren't malicious or weren't because of stubborn refusal to change.
It's those decisions that were intentional choices to put self first that tend to stain legacies.
If we're known as people who tried to do the right thing as a pattern for living, we'll have good legacies.
People — particularly our loved ones and friends — will have good memories of us.
Today's devotional reading in the One-Year Bible contained a passage that prompted this Morning Devotion.
Like me, you almost certainly have happy memories of godly people who have passed into eternity. Those memories are not only comforting for your residual sense of loss, but they're also instructive in making your own good choices regarding family life, work life, church life or health life.
And like me, you almost certainly have memories of people who engaged in wickedness, whose passing was met with little sorrow on your part.
Sadly, too many people die with the same lack of concern shown by peers that was shown to evil King Jehoram in the Old Testament. When he died, the Bible said nobody regretted it.
Let's pour our hearts and hands into serving others in godly ways and to conducting ourselves in a godly manner. This is what will leave a legacy that pleases and guides those whom we love and leave behind.
And please don't wait to start manifesting godliness in every aspect of your life.
You see, none of us knows how many days we have left.
An auto accident or a stroke or a heart attack could happen at any time and we're done.
Nobody wants a "coulda, woulda, shoulda" legacy.
Let's live like Jesus now and bless our loved ones with a quality legacy forever.
I can count on one hand the number of times yearly that I get enough sleep to feel rested when I awake.
This has been the pattern for my life — eyes wanting more sleep.
But this is a lifestyle choice, a choice to be productive doing this or that at the cost of having rested eyes.
I am not alone in this pattern. Many of you reading these words take the same view of sleep.
When I got out of bed this morning at 5:11 a.m., I immediately started preparing Lori's breakfast and after taking that to her, I prepared her lunch.
She's under a tight schedule to get ready in the morning in order to beat the traffic rush and still get to her job by 7:15 or so — 45 miles away from our house.
It's right for me to help her rather than staying in bed and letting her figure out her own breakfast and lunch.
When she pulls out of the garage, I shift toward other tasks such as my devotional time and then writing the Morning Devotion.
After that, I take care of personal correspondence and personal business that's needed and then my workday starts at the church office.
Wow, nearly four hours of tasks each morning before I get to work….
Some of you have even busier mornings, so I consider myself blessed to not have to get up even earlier.
"Go, go, go" is how I'm wired. It's not just about getting things done but, even more importantly, it's about being a good steward of opportunities to make a difference.
Of course, we all need some sleep. Let's just make sure to never let the desire for more sleep get in the way of doing what we should.
Here's the Bible's view on how believers shouldn't allow the desire for sleep to determine their choices.
Let's be wise. If getting out of bed a bit earlier or going to bed a bit later — or both — will help you to serve more people with deeds of kindness, notes of appreciation, acts of service or prayers of intercession, then such things should be harvested through our faith in God.
As long as people around us have needs — including the need for salvation — we're in an endless summer and settling for less sleep is an act of faith that can bear much fruit.
You know, Jesus never got a lot of sleep and — because He was exhausted — He even fell asleep on a boat in a raging storm.
Why was He so sleepy? You know…. He was always up very early praying.
What a great example for us!
If I'm breathing, sooner or later I'll want to be eating.
It's the way of the flesh.
It's not just eating food that we need until we die.
You see, our appetite is not only for food but also for sin.
Too many times when tempted, we act as if we've forgotten where the "No!" word is in our vocabularly.
We've told ourselves before that we were NOT going to repeat a particular sin and, for a time, we kept our word.
But that dreaded "Oops!" moment returns when we realize we've again dropped our guard and bitten the forbidden fruit of whatever.
Everybody has their stumbling blocks. You have yours and I have mine.
Not just for us but for God, too, who wants better for us.
This is why it's vital that we keep a well-worn path to the throne of God, not just for worship but also to plea for forgiveness.
We all sin. We all need grace. And we all will until we die.
That means the spiritual discipline of repentance and rededication is to be a daily pattern for living rather than a random choice when we determine if we've messed up enough to feel unworthy.
Let's follow the principle taught in Leviticus 6:13 where the Israelite priests were told by God to NEVER let the fire go out on the bronze altar of sacrifice. You see, God told the priests that guilt offerings are to be placed on that fire. And since with millions of Israelities being present, there was always guilt in the camp that needed forgiveness.
Because God's desire is for restoration of the soul, the fire had to keep burning in order to complete the guilt offering sacrifices ordained by God.
If the priests chose to let the fire die, it would be because they stopped believing that sins were occurring or they stopped believing that sins needed forgiveness.
The day eventually came when priests did neglect the altar fire and Israel suffered terribly.
We don't have bronze altars at churches now, but our need for forgiveness is just as real today.
Let's remember that our going to God to gain forgiveness for our sins should be even more important to us than is going to the fridge to gain food for our stomachs.
Let's never let the hunger for forgiveness fade.
For unlike food that can sustain us until we die, forgiveness can carry us through this life into the next.


Alright, alright. We know. Entourage absolutely earned its pans. It is shallow, simple-minded and trashy. But now that's its available for online rental, let us offer a few encouraging words. Beneath the ample silliness, the main characters are consistently, yes, virtuous. Collectively, they always have each other's back; and never forget who they are. Individually, they are, each in their own way, kinda admirable. Vince has a mature understanding of the power and peril of fame. Eric generally tries to do the right thing, and fought for the love of his life. Turtle is inventive, entrepreneurial and honest. Drama is, however oddly, entirely committed to his craft. Even Ari puts his money where his mouth is, and sticks to his principles.
When you're in the mood for a Big Dumb Movie, this should be a contender. For sure, you've spent six bucks on stupider stuff than this.

Q: 3 models connected in rails find over the 3 We have 3 models model1, model2, model3. This 3 are connect with
class Model1 < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :model2s
end
class Model2 < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :model1s
  has_many :model3s
end
class Model3 < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :model2s
end

In the table of Model1 exists id.
In the table of Model2 exists id and model1_id.
In the table of Model3 exists id and model2_id.
Now i want to get Data from the table1 and table2 out of Model3Controller.
This works fine.
class Model3Controller < ApplicationController
  def create
    @model2controller = Model2.find(params[:model3controller][:model2_id])
    @model1controller = ?
  end
end

How do we get data from the associated dataset from the table1 of the model1controller? Did we have to add the model1_id into the table3, or can we call it on an other way. Like this pseudocode
@model1controller = Model1.find(
params[:model3controller][:model2_id]params[:model2controller][:model1_id])

A: I might be missing something, but it looks like you should only do the following:
model1 = Model3.find_by_id(params[:model3_id]).model2.model1

Edit. The above code works just like the following lines:
model3 = Model3.find_by_id(params[:model3_id]) # instantiate a model3

model2 = model3.model2 # from mode3 grab a model2
                       # this is possible due to the fact that model3 is associated with model2 via the belongs_to relation

model1 = model2.model1 # model2 "belongs_to" model1, i.e. we can grab model1 by asking model2: "whom do belong to?" just like in the previous example

Please note that accessing methods on instance is done calling in lowercase, i.e.
object.method # => something is returned

In your example you make mistake, calling Model3.find_by_id(params[:id]).Model2 (notice the capital letter in Model2, which is wrong)
Also, check if params[:id] are actually being passed to the controller action. Otherwise, if it's absent, Model3.find_by_id(params[:id]) will return nil and thus a mentioned error will be raised.

Naval officers turned their efforts to give the boring playground at the Northern Counties School for the Deaf a Ground Force-style makeover.
After working all week they have created a stunning new garden to stimulate the senses.
The Plymouth-based officers have worked alongside pupils to create raised beds full of herbs and other edible plants.
Local suppliers have donated gravel, paving and benches to make different textured areas so children who are blind and deaf can enjoy the different textures of their new play area.
Teacher Amanda Ross said: "It is superb. They have totally transformed the area and children will be able to enjoy it for many years to come. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped out.
"We had drawn up plans for a sensory area several years ago but we didn't have the funds or manpower to make it happen then the Navy rang us and asked if they could do anything to help. We jumped at the offer.
"Some children will look after the plants as part of their life skills class and others can't wait to spend their break times here."
The school spent £2,000 on materials for the garden but teachers estimate it would have cost them £20,000 to create the garden if they had paid full price for the materials and paid for labour.
They were given discounts and help with labour from Marshalls building supplies and Fossway Building.
The naval officers work as aircraft technicians and have travelled all over the world as peace keepers and served in the Gulf War.
Mark Weatherall, 35, said: "One of the team visited Newcastle in 2003 and wanted to come back and attempt to pay back some of the hospitality shown. We contacted the local careers office who put us in touch with Northern Counties School.
"Many of us enjoy Ground Force on TV - particularly Charlie Dimmock - the team always make it look so easy. Over the last week we have enjoyed working on the sensory garden but think we will be sticking to our day jobs.
"Seeing the happiness and the excitement from the children makes all the hard work even more worthwhile. We hope to return to the school and forge a permanent link with them."
Other officers who helped out were Mark Veitch, 32, Paul Lees, 39, Lee Norton, 33, Mick Maloney, 41, and Dave McLeod, 42.
A year ago Northern Counties was threatened with closure but a Chronicle-backed campaign helped the school join up with the Percy Hedley Foundation, safeguarding its future.
Earlier this year Government inspectors rated the school "very effective" with "very good quality education".


Well, we're probably not going to reach the freezing mark today, but at least we can begin to thaw a little! I'm ready for some warmer air. Here's an interesting fact we heard on the news last night. Yesterday, it was WARMER on Pikes Peak (elev. 14,110 ft) than it was in Colorado Springs. Isn't that odd? The meteorologist called it temperature inversion, but I couldn't even begin to explain it to you!
The kids have a 2 hour delayed start this morning at school...which means no preschool for Abbey, and therefore no break for me! I was supposed to work in the library at their elementary school, but I wouldn't be much help with a three-year-old in tow, so I guess I'm off the hook.
We STILL don't have our Christmas tree up. In our fifteen years of marriage, I don't believe I've ever made it this far into December without our Christmas tree. Right now though, I'm at the mercy of UPS. I hope it comes today! We did do a little decorating yesterday while the kids were home, but the tree really makes it feel like Christmas. I also haven't done ANY shopping. I'm hoping Abbey has school next week because I really need that time to make a dent in my list. It will all get done, it will all get done, it will all get done. I keep repeating that to myself over and over...because it will all get done!


Rapport's odd openings continue as he chose a delayed version of the Larsen Attack with 1.b3, opting to play it instead after 1.Nf3 c5. This proved to be a bad idea as Nakamura quickly seized the initiative. He made an enterprising sacrifice with 15...Nxe3!? which would have completely tied White's position down if taken. However Rapport didn't accept the gift, but ended up with a completely lost position instead.
A tense struggle was on the board as Black's awkward pieces were held together by a powerful passed pawn on c3. It is unclear which side was better until Caruana horribly blundered with his 32nd move. It is not so clear exactly what Caruana missed, but he is known to make these kinds of mistakes once in a while, costing him very precious points.
Gelfand's pair of bishops compensated for his weakened pawn structure, but I have the feeling once the light squared bishops came off the board White had a slightly more pleasant position. Van Wely quickly went for the counterattack on the kingside pounding on Black's weak h5 pawn, unfortunately for him it was not weak enough to take and his major pieces ended up tangled on the kingside without play. A further disregard for king safety ended up with the Dutch's king mated on h4.
not much to say here. draw.
So's Berlin proves to be solid again and Harikrishna was not even close to breaking through at any moment.
An incredible result that not only clinched the win for Aronian a round in advance, but takes him to a lofty 2833 Elo on the live ratings, with space for a bit of history. In effect, if Aronian wins his game tomorrow against Van Wely, he will finish with 9.0/11 and 82% score which would surpass Carlsen's record of 81% when he won with 10.5/13.
Jobava's normal opening did not net him anything this time, but through some clever knight maneuvers he obtained a big advantage. Reinderman sacrificed an exchange which Jobava strangely did not take - this resulted in a position in which White's knight on c4 was quite powerful. His problem was that Reinderman was allowed to open the kingside, and once this happened White's knight went from being useful to useless as he could not defend his own king.
Wojtaszek was in the worse side of an opposite colored bishop endgame but never had any real losing chances. Muzychuk won a very double edged game against Brunello when the Italian missed a pretty tactic that simply cost him the game.
Timman had serious winning chances agianst Van Delft, and arguably even in the final position he could have pressed on for a win, but a draw was sufficient for the Dutch legend and it gives Saric the pass to the Master's tournament next year.
Goudriaan's strange version of the Najdorf paid off as Troff was unable to find a productive plan while his opponent simply marched up the board on the kingside which ended up mating Black.
Duda and Zhao Xue's game started out wild and crazy with a pawn sacrifice followed by a counter pawn sacrifice, but it fizzled out to a drawn opposite colored bishop endgame with some rooks.
