Bates Motel's Ehrin And Highmore
Executive Producer Kerry Ehrin and Freddie Highmore, Noman Bates himself talk season 3 of Bates Motel.
Freddie, how do you get into character because it doesn't seem like you're – you have – you have far to go to get there.
Freddie Highmore: It doesn't seem like I do or it does?
Well, it seems pretty natural.
Freddie Highmore: Well, I mean…
I guess it's all that practice. I don't consider myself to be very similar to Norman. I think in – I mean the American actor did obviously one thing and I just try and stay as much as possible sort of on set in Vancouver and off stage as well. And then the rest of it is a character I guess now that's having done two seasons before this one, you're more aware of and you can easily slip into.
And this season was more changing him and making him a bit more mature with the self-awareness that he gained at the end of the second season and so perhaps trickier than giving a look or finding out who Norman was in this third season, it was more about discovering in what ways he would change and grow up.
Kerry, do you have anything to add? How you're creating this character?
Kerry Ehrin: It's definitely an evolution where Carlton and I began with the character in the first season. It's a very different person at this point – and a lot of that has to do with self-awareness and also the natural development of teenagers to start seeing their parents as real people as opposed to gods or goddesses in their universe.I think there's a bit of that in it as well. And also this season very much playing with the game of control between him and Norma and the power struggle which is really delicious.
Now Norman is such an iconic character and horror. And of course Anthony Perkins did such a legendary performance in the role. Now that you've been doing the show and the role for three years, how much influence does the original Perkins' performance have on your performance and how much are you trying to just sort of completely make it your own?
Freddie Highmore: I guess potentially now they are less comparisons that are made to it because people see the Norman on Bates Motel as being his own entity opposed to necessarily precursor to Anthony Perkins' version. But at the same time I've re-watched Psycho before every season and in some ways tried implementing what Anthony Perkins brought to the role especially as the show continues because I've always seen that the end of Bates Motel not necessarily as the end of Psycho.But the end of Norman is a lot closer to Anthony Perkins' version than the boy that we saw at the start. But certainly we, I don't think any of us feel tied constrainingly to Psycho or to any performance that came before.
Now the house and the motel are also iconic horror images. I know that it's a new version of it built up in Canada but does working around that atmosphere add to the sort of creepy feeling both as an actor and as a writer.
Freddie Highmore: Yes it does. I think the first time I stepped on the set, it kind of has this weight already behind it when you look up and you see a very similar version of the house and the motel to the one that was in the original. And then over time it seems to become in view with your own memories and events that took place n Bates Motel. Like from the set, for example, leading up, there's still the blood stain or whatever they used to pretend to be blood from Deputy Shelby's death in last season.So there are little reminders to us all of how far he's come.
Kerry Ehrin: There's definitely a texture to that set that is emotional and you feel it when you're there. It's very cool.
Now that Norman knows about Norman's blackouts, do you think that he's going to ever let him back out on her own, on his own or is she sort of try and keep more and more control of him even though she's already been overprotective towards him to start?
Kerry Ehrin: Yes, it's sort of like any mother. If your child had something wrong with him, especially something you couldn't control, your instinct would be to literally tie them to your ankle. I mean you would want to be in as close proximity to them at all times as you possibly could be.And then you add to that all the dark undercurrents and suspicions and that a terrifying ordeal for Norma. And yes, her instinct is to keep him as close as possible.
Tony Tellado: Hi guys. It's a pleasure to talk to you. It's a, love this version of Bates Motel and the whole Norman Bates mythology here.
Kerry Ehrin: Thank you.
Freddie Highmore: Thank you.
Tony Tellado: I wanted to ask you, there's a couple new characters coming into the show this season and no spoilers but, you know, especially actor's like Tracy's going to be joining for the season. How are they going to kind of stir things up a little bit because the show seems to be really about relationships and it really starts with Norman, his mom and kind of works its way up from there.
Kerry Ehrin: Well one of the really interesting things in structuring this show that Carlton and I have faced since day 1 is weaving together two worlds that don't necessarily, you wouldn't think go together. And the, you know, part of that is these dark secrets that exist in White Pine Bay and are told through various peculiar characters that emerge from the society? And this year we have, we have some amazing actors, Ryan Hurst plays such a cool character who's this kind of bent mountain man who, he does such a brilliant performance.You don't quite know, he feels threatening but at the same time he seems incredibly, you (die) at certain times and then Dylan does not know what to make of him but he definitely brings some mystery and trouble with him.
And then another really wonderful character is played by Kevin Rahm and this is a very prominent head of a very exclusive, elite hunting club. Very old school high buy-in and he's just such a great antagonist. He's a really fun character.
He is a, he's a bad buy that really likes himself, that enjoys his life and his senses and his body and dresses great. And Kevin Rahm just is so amusing in this role and so great.
And then it also takes a darker turn because he's also someone from, who grew up with Alex Romero and the storyline reveals a lot about their own history growing up together but also Alex Romero's history and he's this great stoic character who we know nothing about. So we get to peel back some layers and look inside, which is really fascinating.
Freddie Highmore: We need to say though, you called him Alex Romero because I don't think any of us have really referred to him as that on set. Nestor's like, he's like Sheriff Romero or we just call him the Sheriff especially in the fifth episode of the season (that Nestor) directed for the first time.
Kerry Ehrin: Yes.
Freddie Highmore: I mean it's absolutely…
Kerry Ehrin: Amazing.
Freddie Highmore: …amazing. And so, you know, it certainly amuse us just to see him in his sheriff's outfit, directing away. He was very much the Sherriff/director.And then the other relationship I think to tease in this season is the one between Norman and his fictional version of his mother that he conjures up this persons moments and entices him and repels him various times into or from doing things.
And that's a really interesting dynamic, the way that Norman not only, I guess Norman starts to struggle with knowing whether he is talking and whether he's interacting with this fictional version of his mother or the reality.
Tony Tellado: And speaking of Norman, because we really didn't know his mother. She was already dead in the movie. You guys really I think, and I want your opinion on this, have kind of a wider latitude as far as both of those characters.Because you've got Norman so young, we don't know much about him at that age and you don't know about his mother. So you might be boxed in in some ways but you also have a lot of freedom in a lot of ways, if you both can comment.
Freddie Highmore: Yes, Carlton and I from the very beginning wanted to tell a story about Norman's mom that was different than what you hear in the movie because what you hear in the movie is from Norman when he's completely gone crazy.So, you know, people carry many different versions of their parents inside of them from different memories and different times and, you know, that when you went through with them. And we definitely wanted to broaden out the scope of who this woman was and then, you know, the same thing with Norman.
He's really in many ways such an endearing person and the concept that someone who had a good heart was trapped in this situation and in this body and in this circumstance was so compelling and, you know, just gave, it opens up so much storytelling that we were always excited about and continue to be excited about.
Tony Tellado: And Freddie, you have a little bit of room too to kind of mold him and kind of do your own version of him a little bit.
Kerry Ehrin: A lot of room.
Freddie Highmore: Yes, of course. Yes. And I think also the contemporary setting has given us a certain freedom too in sort of reimaging this odd duo.
Tony Tellado: Well I'll tell you, it's a lot of fun to kind of watch this deconstruction. I hate to say it about somebody else but they're fictional so it's – and it's Norman.
Kerry Ehrin: That's good. Thank you. I'm glad. Thanks.

Q: Append a React component in another on button click I have a big component <User> and a small one <Task> and want to give a big component a button and on click on it append the component <Task> to the <User>
User.jsx

  <Task />
  <button onClick={`Function here to append a new Task component`}>
    New Task
  </button>

Task.jsx

  This is New task

A: You could do something like the following.

const User = () => {
  return
User

}

class App extends React.Component {

  state = {
    users: []
  }

  addUser = () => {
    this.setState({
      users: [...this.state.users, <User />]
    })
  }

  render() {
    return (

        <button onClick={this.addUser}>Add User</button>
        {this.state.users}

    );
  }
}

const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<App />, rootElement);

There is a code sandbox here.

A: You should let React render everything, and your job is only to tell React what to render and, in your case, how many times. For that, a counter can be used to track how many dynamically-added should be "injected" inside the <Example> component.
A mindshift is needed here, since in your example you are coming from a place where you think that the click handler itself should modify the DOM, and in React that is an antipattern.
Instead, you should work with state, and that means the click handler should update the state of the host component and that will trigger a re-render (this is how React works) and in the next render cycle, your added component will be rendered as many times as the counter value, because that counter change is what triggered the re-rendering.
In React, the props & state are the way to trigger re-render and any DOM modification should be done by changing the internal component's state, or by sending different props, from the parent component.

In the below example I do not use Classes, but use Hooks instead, because I've stopped using class altogether once hooks were released, because I think it's cleaner:

const {useState, Fragment} = React

// The added element component
const AddedElement = () =>
<input placeholder='text box' />

// The parent component
const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0) // Name it however you wish

  return <Fragment>
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    { [...Array(count)].map((_, i) => <AddedElement key={i} />) }
  </Fragment>
}

// Render
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById("react"))

If you are interested in how to repeatedly render the same component, I've written an answer about this in this question: How can I render repeating React elements?

A:

const Task = (props) => {
  return (

{props.value}

  )
}

class TaskForm extends React.Component {
  state = {
    value : ''
  };

  handleChange = (e) => {
    const { value } = e.target;
    this.setState(_ => ({
      value
    }));
  }

  handleAdd = (e) => {
    const { value } = this.state;
    if (value === '') { return; }
    this.props.onNewTask(value);
    this.setState(_ => ({
      value : ''
    }))
  }

  render () {
    const { value } = this.state;
    return (

        <input
          value={value}
          onChange={this.handleChange}
        />
        <button onClick={this.handleAdd}>Add</button>

    )
  }
}

class User extends React.Component {
  state = {
    tasks : []
  }

  handleNewTask = (task) => {
    this.setState(state => ({
      ...state,
      tasks : [
        ...state.tasks,
        task
      ]
    }))
  }

  renderTasks () {
    const tasks = this.state.tasks.map(t => (
            <Task key={t} value={t} />
    ));
    return (

        {tasks}

    )
  }

  render () {
    return (

        <TaskForm onNewTask={this.handleNewTask}/>
        {this.renderTasks()}

    )
  }
}

ReactDOM.render(<User/>, document.querySelector('#app'));
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="utf-8">

A teen wakes up in a different body every day in our review of this romance.
A teen romance with a twist, Every Day tells the story of Rhiannon (Rice), who is surprised to spend a lovely, meaningful and fun day with her usually thoughtless boyfriend Justin (Smith). It turns out that for that one perfect day, Justin wasn't actually entirely Justin – his mind was inhabited by 'A', a spirit (for want of a better description) who wakes up every morning in a different body and spends the day living in it before moving onto the next person at midnight. So Justin goes back to being his regular, chain-smoking, monosyllabic self, but A wants to carry on being around Rhiannon.
While A has no control who – male or female – he/she is going to inhabit next, it's always someone near to the previous body and of a similar age, so A becomes a new student who befriends Rhiannon at school, a geeky kid she meets at a party, a home-schooled boy and another who meets her in a diner and explains it all to her. Of course, he/she has fallen for Rhiannon, but there's complications ahead – not least the fact that A never knows where, or who he/she will be next.
Based on the Young Adult bestseller by David Levithan, this is a sweet and quirky love story with shades of Groundhog Day and Big that subtly touches on identity, personality, and love being more than skin deep. Cynics may note that A – body-swapping aside – is perhaps too perfect, kind, sensitive, sweet and totally devoted, but each actor that inhabits the character brings something new that makes it all plausible.
The direction is a bit plodding in places, but a warm, lovely performance from Rice more than makes up for any minor flaws in the script and plot. A star in the making, her central role – especially as she realises she's fallen for A – is worth the admission price alone.
The movie is aimed at older children but this is mainly due to some mild bad language rather than sexual situations etc.
Parents should note that one character A inhabits does consider suicide, and has a book of drawings featuring various methods they have considered.

After six spectacular seasons, Downton Abbey is drawing to a close.
I have been inconsolable at the thought of watching the last episode on March 6. Luckily, Strollers is offering a remedy. After the March 6th matinee of Misalliance, Strollers will host a High Tea event at The Bartell, complete with finger sandwiches, scones, and high society!
Watch a 1910 English comedy brimming with proposals, action, and strong female characters, followed by High Tea and a talk-back with the cast and crew. Afterwards, you'll be fit to go home and watch the last episode, cheered by great theatre and a warm cuppa.


Blog WHERE IS THE CONFESSIONAL MOVEMENT MOVING?
WHERE IS THE CONFESSIONAL MOVEMENT MOVING?
Answer. "The confessional movement" in the above question refers to that movement which recently emerged within the Missouri Synod, and against it, but which meanwhile has scattered beyond the Synod (though significant remnants still remain there) and by now has largely lost its confessional target, momentum and cohesion as a unitary force. Its offshoot body, the AELC, particularly in its readiness to die denominationally for the cause of greater Lutheran unity, and Christ Seminary—Seminex, once the cruciform paradigm of the movement's confession, are today the confessional movement' s two most visible survivors.
Still, the spirit of that confessional movement as well as its doughty confessors might just be re-emerging here and there in their far-flung diaspora, scattered throughout a thousand localities within another, much larger grass roots movement. This new Christian movement, however, is insistently local and regional and, at those levels, is trans-synodical and even trans-denominational — trans-denominational and only sometimes anti-denominational. I am thinking of those mushrooming clusters all across the land among local Christian folk, lay and clergy, from different synods and denominations, who are finding, negatively, that they share a common disillusionment with their respective denominations' "bureaucracies." Their grievance is not against denominations as such, as confessional fellowships and consciences for the tradition, but rather with their denominations' managerial authority structures upon which congregations and clergy had become excessively dependent.
Without necessarily separating from their denominations but at least neutralizing their influence locally, these hometown Christians are now searching together — and this is their affirmative — for less bureaucratic and more evangelical ways of resuming their own churchly responsibility locally and regionally but, all the moreso, pan-Lutheranly and pan-Christianly. Interference (if any) from denominational headquarters is less and less intimidating to the locals, and in many cases the headquarters staffs, now much reduced in staff and power, are adapting to new models of servanthood.
This anti-bureaucratic, grassroots ecumenism seems to be attracting, in their localities, not only AELC moderates but also LCMS moderates, and both of these with one another (despite the break between their parent bodies) as well with other Lutherans and other Christians in their area.
This dispersed, decentralized ecumenism might well be the next movement which those Lutherans who are experienced confessors can now help to shape into a confessional movement by giving it the right words – of the Word. But for them to do that sort of on-site confessional verbalizing, which can be a lonely task, they themselves now more than ever shall need the encouragement not of transcendent bureaucracies but of a worldwide Lutheran confessional presence. This comprehensive confessional presence does not first need to be created. It is already in being, or at least in becoming, in thousands of local Lutheran cooperative ventures. What these local ventures do need, though, is to be put in touch with one another, yet not by some cookie-cutter organization from above. That could easily exclude many Lutherans just because of their present synodical labels — by now a fading priority also for themselves — who are already confessionally and ecumenically active and even in the forefront in their own localities. No, this broad Lutheran "network of care" ought to be as inclusive as there are Lutherans who de facto are of the same confessional will and community.
The preceding paragraphs are really only a summary of a larger position which needs spelling out. It raises at least four sub-questions. Let me ask those four questions and then, also briefly, try to summarize their answers. Finally, I would like to return to one of the sub-questions (#2) and elaborate its answer at somewhat greater length —God granting us time.
Sub-question 1. What is a confessional movement anyway, this one or any other one?
Answer. A confessional movement arises within and against a situation of churchly oppression where the oppressor is not merely other persons, not "flesh and blood but principalities and powers," some superior secular authority, usually the secular authority of the church itself. What is being oppressed is not only other Christians but the very Gospel of Christ. The Gospel is being oppressed by being augmented, reinforced — "safeguarded" — with additional conditions and expectations which Christ never imposed, thus reducing His Gospel to a tool for enslavement, and augmented with substitute saviors for relieving us of our heaviest responsibilities, thus minimizing the need of the Cross. In face of such ruining of the Gospel, really the Gospel-and-Sacraments, Christians must take a stand together and publicly, defying if need be their own ecclesiastical authorities so as to expose that authority as a fake, and must invoke instead only that other, strange and vulnerable authority, Christ's one Gospel-and- Sacraments, whose only clout is its own inherent winsomeness and by whose confession alone Christians stand or fall in The Last Analysis. (See Matthew 10:32, 33; Galatians 2-5; AC VII; Apol. XXVIII, 20; FC 10).
Sub-question 2. The thing which church people are objecting to in their church leadership — perhaps the only thing, even at the denominational level — is that this leadership has become, as they say, "bureaucratic," "secular." But how is that (if it is at all) an oppressing of the Gospel?
Answer. The question really is a request to re-word the present anti-bureaucratic protest as a protest rather against unevangelical church authority, thus dignifying and churching the protest as confessional.
By using such put-down epithets as "secular" or "bureaucratic," church people need not mean that secular authority — that law-like pressure by which God pushes along this world's history, this old age (saeculum) – is necessarily bad, even in the church. What they might mean though, is that in actual practice the church has come to rely upon its secular authority — its administrative bureaus and staffs, its managerial efficiency, its programming expertise, its control over people's careers and reputations, its purse strings, its "elitism of the informed" — more than it relies upon the authority of the Gospel. But it is only by this latter authority, Christ's one Gospel-and-Sacraments, that God achieves his peculiarly New "efficiency": gracing sinners, putting to death and making alive, churching the world. Once this Gospel-and- Sacraments is made to depend for its efficiency or for its authority or for its very survival upon the church's managerial authority, then the Gospel has become instead a thing to be enforced, coercive, and therefore no longer the Gospel at all. And once church people's responsibility to God is shifted to other go-betweens than Christ, then His Cross, if it remains at all, degenerates to a cheap way out.
Then it is time to sound the confessional No, putting the anti-bureaucratic protest into the words of the Word, so that the truly evangelical point of its grievance is conveyed unambiguously in public speech and action.
Sub-question 3. If to be a confessional movement means not only to protest, to say the Christian No, but also to say Yes, then where amidst the current outcry against bureaucratic legalism in high places is there at the same time a grassroots reaffirming of the Gospel's Yes?
Answer. One promising place to look for that evangelical affirmative is in the efforts which church people are now mounting at local and regional levels, but together across synodical and even denominational lines, taking a second look at those tasks which they had abdicated to the church's professionals and now assuming new first-hand responsibility for those tasks themselves.
Whether they can actually succeed — these "amateur" Christians — in shouldering such heretofore complex, expensive, technical responsibilities themselves without the ecclesiastical bureaus to relieve them does pose a monumental problem. (Already one church bureaucrat has said cynically, "Lots of luck!") For surely somebody will have to bear that yoke for them – Somebody – before they in turn can bear His. Still, wherever that does succeed in happening – in local and regional cooperatives, pan-Lutheran, pan-Christian — there such back-breaking, cross-bearing courage of Christ would indeed sound the confessional Yes.
To nourish that local courage from place, to place and to provide it too with the right Word, also among the Lutherans in those places, the old, now de-bureaucratized denominations and synods could find a new vocation for themselves in networking and partnering these local Lutheran communities with one another — a global, confessionally inclusive communicatio et consolation fratrum et sororum.
Sub-question 4. How can we know whether the church people who are engaged in this new anti-bureaucratic, grass roots ecumenism do in fact qualify as a genuinely confessional movement?
Answer. There is one way to find out: Ask them. True, by putting words into their mouths, we do run the risk of merely dignifying with high-sounding Christian rhetoric some mass movement which in fact is anything but Christian. That is a risk, for Christian theology to serve merely as an ideologue, a legitimator, giving sinners hallowed reasons for doing what they want to do anyway.
On the other hand, if church people do rise to the challenge of our confessional question, they may indeed exclaim: "So that's what we've been doing: confessing! Here all we had given ourselves credit for was bitching." In other words, our new encouraging Word may become a self-fulfilling description. That way, even though it may be we who put the Word in their mouths, it will be they and not merely the ecclesiastical leadership who are then free to take responsibility for their own response.
That, after all, is what it means to be a confessional movement: everyone in the movement shares responsibility, before the world and before God, for the confession which is there being made, and no one may preempt that confessional responsibility for others. That much freedom for every Christian the Gospel insures.
Of the four sub-questions, above, we have time to elaborate only one of them. The neediest perhaps is Number 2, in which we emphasized that the current anti-bureaucratic protest, if it is going to be churched into a confessional movement, will need to be radically re-Worded as an evangelical protest primarily against one abuse, a "secularist" diminishing of the authority of the Gospel, as if the Gospel-and-Sacraments were not really "enough" (satis). Let's say more about that.
A.) What no one, I suppose, would dispute is that there is today in virtually every church body what one Christian Century writer calls "an up-with-the-grass-roots-and-down-with-centralized- bureaucracies mood." In that same magazine's current series, "The Churches: Where From Here," the one negative phenomenon which every major denomination so far has reported with almost scary unanimity is, as one of the reporters tells it, the grass roots "de-structure" of the denominations' bureaucratic structures. Witness also the Roman Catholic drive against "papalism", the Anglican bishops being scolded at the Lambeth Conference for having become "super-executives", the upset presidential election in the LCA in quest of a president who would be a "pastor", etc., etc.
There is a danger, at least the danger of a missed opportunity, if confessional movement Lutherans, fail to see how much this anti-bureaucratic phenomenon in other church bodies is part of the same phenomenon which they themselves have been coming through. They ought to recognize this not for reasons of Schadenfreude but in order to appreciate how vast a movement it actually is in which they have already begun to acquire some experience.
B.) And I suppose no one would dispute, either, that this churchly reaction against churchly bureaucracy directly reflects the same populist reaction, the faddish drive toward localism which is sweeping society as a whole. That is one more illustration of how secular power is exercised also in the church, not only in its bureaucratic forms but also, by reaction, in its populist forms. In principle there is nothing wrong with that, at least nothing disastrously wrong.
C.) What almost no one, I suppose, would dispute is that this anti-bureaucracy is frequently, also in the churches, downright vindictive, a selfish alibi for provincial locals to shirk their larger, global duties, and sometimes an irrational repudiation of all legitimate authority — a perfect patsy for a new and worse kind of authoritarianism.
The previous sentence, incidentally, comes close to describing what happened in the recent take- over of the LC–MS. Some of us, who also by the way were synodical bureaucrats, were the victims of a populist outrage, and not altogether undeservedly. Ironically, though, we were ousted to make room for still other bureaucrats, seven times more authoritarian than the first. But they were the ones who had gotten to "the people" before we did. Even so, the populist newcomers were still operating out of the mistaken ambition, the wrong-headed assumption that synodical bureaus is where the church's real power is "at." They could scarcely have foreseen what surely they will be learning soon: as churchly ardor, even among conservative congregations and districts, cools toward the organizational centre, those centralists will be left holding the bag. All those electric typewriters!
D.) What few will dispute, though a few may, is that the anti-bureaucratic uprising inside and outside the church does have a point, a very telling ethical point. And that is, the bureaucratizing of human organizations, indispensable as that is to human welfare in our time, does nevertheless discourage people from sharing in decisions which affect them vitally, decisions for which they still bear the consequences. The anti-bureaucratic protest, insofar as it is ethically justified, is a protest against being treated like children by experts who know what is best for us (as they probably do) and who will not trust us to make the right decisions (as well we may not). Bureaucracy abridges the profoundest human right of all, the right to be held responsible. So people who are willing to face responsibility, or at least hope they are, do right to object. But the ethical rightness of the protest is not enough to make it confessional.
E.) What only a few would dispute, though almost no one admits it either, is that bureaucracy is fostered not only by bureaucrats but by "the people" themselves, who until recently seemed only too relieved to "let staff do it" on the convenient assumption that basic Christian responsibility really can be delegated, especially if by doing so those responsibilities are discharged more professionally or more economically. If anti-bureaucrats are going to make their protest confessional, then, no matter how grass-rootsy they are, they will have to begin with a confession of their own pro-bureaucratic guilt, their own radical aversion to responsibility.
F.) However, what many would undoubtedly dispute but what I nevertheless am constrained to propose is this: in, with and under the current grass roots protest against church bureaucracy there is an intuitively Christian, even Christ-like indignation.
Although these indignant Christians may often state their objections crudely, although they may be animated as much by pent-up frustration and sheer meanness as by zeal for the Lord's house, although the most spirited of their complaints can be demonized by demagogues into the ruination of the Church rather than its reform, still the godly probability persists: they are somehow offended by a whole system of authority and decision-making which by its very thrust and organization (not so much by its well-intentioned practitioners) is sub-ethical, yes, but also far worse than that, sub-evangelical, a diminishing of Christ and of his unique authority.
To credit such Christian motives to these folks in congregations and pastorates, especially when they themselves may not insist we should, may seem naive. The need obviously for naivete but simply for giving these Christian people the benefit of Christian doubt. That may be hard to do, coming as it does in our case from their very victims. Yet being freed to extend them that benefit is precisely one of the advantages of your and my new liberation.
G.) When something which seems so doctrinally neutral as bureaucratic management changes, as it seems to have done in recent church history, from being the Gospel's servant to being the Gospel's partner to being the Gospel's rival to be the Gospel's undoing, just when in that subtle shift does the reversal occur? It occurs when that bureaucratic management becomes, in one word, a "necessity". That is the word which is employed by the Formula of Concord (Article X) as the signal for "a time for confessing." When some current church practice, even though it might otherwise be unobjectionable or even constructive, assumes that much importance– assumes the importance, namely, of being "necessary", the time has come to dissent and if necessary to disobey.
H.) But "necessary" for what? Why, necessary for "salvation". Still, not even the most secularist church bureaucrats would ever claim that for even the most prized features of their management programs — say, their cost-benefit analysis or their "management by objectives" — namely, that such practices are necessary for church's people's "salvation". Similarly, I doubt that the Judaizers in Galatia ever said in so many words that, besides faith in Christ, also circumcision was necessary for salvation.
But the confessors in Formula of Concord-10 were not confining their vigilance to what ecclesiastical authorities merely say or do not say but rather to what they do. If what they require in practice is the operational equivalent of saying, "Cooperation with our brand of authority is 'necessary for righteousness', necessary for your being truly acceptable in this church, or else"; and if the or-else is that objectors and critics are dismissed or penalized or snubbed, then regardless of the authorities' reassuring rhetoric the practice in question has been "forcibly imposed on the church as necessary and as though its omission were wrong and sinful." Then "the door has been opened to idolatry, and ultimately the commandments of human beings will be put…not only on a par with God's commandments but even above them." (FC X, 12-15). And what the confessors here mean by "God's commandments" is the Gospel-and-Sacraments which God initiated through Jesus.
I.) But the real hazard to the Gospel in elevating something like bureaucratic authority to a salvational "necessity" is not just that it then competes in importance with something which God himself "commands". No, what is most damaging is that this new necessity so displaces Christ Himself, who finally is our only responsibility-bearer, that he then becomes necessary only relatively –and then, really, no longer necessary at all. If instead of the Mediator Jesus there is now a different responsibility-bearer which intervenes in the form of those church bureaus which discharge all the really significant work in God's mission in our stead, pro nobis, so that we may now have the comfort of knowing it is all being done far more expertly than ever we could and that all that is left for us amateurs to do is to support and implement the programs which those distant toilers have labored to make easy for us, easier by far no doubt than losing our lives for Christ's sake and the gospel's –a role which also seems to have been reserved to the professionals — then when that happens a whole soteriological, mediatorial system has moved in to usurp that glory which the Father has jealously reserved to His Son. Then it is high time for everyone, from top to bottom, to call a halt.
denominational management. To put the best — i.e., the evangelical – construction on their protest we are construing it as an at least latent protest for the sake of the gospel. Still, latent their protest dare not remain, else it hardly qualifies as a confession, which by definition entails clear public and forthright witness.
K.) I hardly need to remind you and you hardly need to remind me, given our recent experience in the movement, how atrociously difficult it can be to make our public witness clear, so clear that at least our friends and fellow-confessors (let alone our opponents) can hear the point of protest in our confessing.
That difficulty was brought painfully home to me in a letter I received yesterday, a sharply critical letter, filled as the writer himself admitted, with "harsh judgment," accusations of "duplicity" and questions about my unfitness ever to have been identified with the Exile or to be allowed to teach at Seminex. To that sort of letter you and I may be tempted to retort, "Shades of 801." Not so. What I want to underscore is that, even though the letter was not sent to me personally but to one of my superiors, it was nevertheless written by a friend, a fellow -pastor of mine in the AELC whose personal stand I deeply share and love — as I had cockily assumed my own public record (if anyone's had) had made crystal clear. The point of this example is that I had sorely underestimated how hard it is to make a .confessional witness which is consistently clear and unambiguous. So what was needed, obviously, was to take stock and begin again.
What was it that had triggered the brother's vehement complaint against me? A recent article in Missouri In Perspective promised that, at this assembly this afternoon, I would "challenge moderates to avoid the temptation to withdraw completely from the fellowship of the LC–MS." The fact is, that line was not a direct quotation from me, nor did it actually claim to be. Furthermore, the line was not something I would say if asked, nor will I be saying that this afternoon. Never mind the fact that the letter writer did not bother to check the source. That is not the issue. The issue, which now worsens, is that the folks who edit Perspective — and they, for sure, are my friends — must have had difficulty themselves in understanding what folks like me really stand for. Soon the grim realization comes home: my witness has been misleading. And if mine has been, who have had so many chances, how must it be with those thousands who get almost no chance? If these things be done in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
L.) Stick with the example a bit longer. What it also illustrates is that confessional ambiguity is rooted not only in the inability of some of us to make ourselves clear but in the reality situation itself, in the facts of the matter. For instance, the letter writing brother evidently does want moderates "to withdraw completely from the fellowship of the LC–MS." I, too, want that if what that means is that moderates, including Missouri Synod moderates, ought to refuse to submit to that Synod's authority, seeing how utterly it has invalidated itself through a systematic, institutionalized legalism — not just legalism as a regretted now-and-then aberration but as an ongoing and publicly defended policy. If that is what is meant by "withdrawing from the fellowship of the LC—MS" — refusing churchly obedience to Synod's unchurchly authority — why then, yes, of course. But on that much it is relatively easy to be clear.
On the other hand, this same discredited synodical authority recently ordered some of us out of the Synod's ministries (as though they really were the Synod's in the first place) and signaled that expulsion by removing our names from the Synod's clergy roster. Some of us have let it be known that, though we do of course serve also and enthusiastically in the AELC — as if that were the issue — and although on that ruse we have allegedly had our calls to Missouri Synod people terminated, the truth is, we are not leaving. We are not leaving those Missouri Synod people, not those who still honor their solemn calls to us. (Otherwise I, for instance, would have to desist from teaching my first-year seminarians, the large majority of whom are still from Missouri congregations.) Anyway, to have responded to our expulsions instead by accepting them could be construed, I suppose, as acquiescence in a synodical authority which otherwise we insist is spiritually defunct. And by continuing to minister to Missourians, especially those in my classroom and office, I am acting out (even though I seldom think about that anymore) how hollow the threats of that defunct synodical authority actually are. So in this respect I must refuse to withdraw [not from "the fellowship of the Missouri Synod" (whatever that means anymore)] but at least from the fellowship of Missouri Synod moderates, co-confessors. And I am sure that the letter writing pastor, knowing him for the Christian he is, does much the same.
M.) After this long excursus on how fraught with ambiguity is the confessional situation, what is the moral? Is it self-pity ("Lord knows how we suffer")? Is it resignation in face of the hopelessness of the communication task? Isn't it rather that folks like us who have been getting such first-rate training in making our confessions clear, often to be sure by trial and error, ought to have an advantage as now we move with the confessional Platzregen into a new and larger and even more unfamiliar scene? But the bigger advantage is that, as we try and err, we have the advance assurance — as my letter writing brother concluded — of mutual forgiveness. That covers a multitude of ambiguities.


The annual research residency from Artquest in partnership with the Horniman Museum and Gardens is now open for applications. The 2017 residency is focused on the museum's music collection.
This is an incredible opportunity for a London-based artist, working in any medium, with at least 5 years' experience working outside of education, to develop their practice responding to the collections and work of the Horniman Museum and Gardens.

Q: Git commits to show live on website So I have a bitbucket repository I push my code to. How can I hook up my repository and have it so that anything that gets committed shows on my site?

A: In this link https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Manage+Bitbucket+hooks you can find a documentation on how to add a hook. Add a POST hook to call a url on your server. This url should point to a script (PHP for example) to git pull, check this blog post http://jondavidjohn.com/git-pull-from-a-php-script-not-so-simple.


As I discussed a few days ago, I'm always open to a better offer when it comes to tools. Yesterday, Dan Croak write a massive post describing how to set up OS X for Ruby on Rails development. In the post he points to dot files shared on GitHub by Joe Ferris, and mentions that the shell they use is zsh (an alternative to bash that's based on ksh).
I started wondering about the allure of zsh — I've used bash for a long time, and when I started using it, it was the most powerful shell around. I figured that if people were leaving bash for zsh, there must be some compelling reason, and I decided to do some research.
If you're looking for the zsh argument, Fried CPU outlines the advantages. Item number 4 on his list, "Share history across sessions" was enough to convince me to give it a shot.
We tell ourselves that we live in a rational, scientific society, but Unix configuration files clearly indicate that's not the case. Various snippets are passed around like bits of ancient lore, with most people who use them having no idea why they do what they do. Count me among the ignorant and possibly superstitious. (See also: sync; sync; halt.) You can find my current zshrc here, but don't ask me how it works, yet.
The coolest trick I've seen zsh pull so far involves svn add. zsh is smart enough to include only files that have not yet been added in the tab completion list when you hit tab after svn add. So if you have a directory of 10 files and only one of them is new, zsh is smart enough to choose that file when you hit tab. I love little bits of brilliance like that.
Playing with zsh is the best geeky distraction I've found in some time. I'd urge you to check it out.


Hi Epifan! I'm unable to read/log "knock correction" for A8DK100Y - 07EDM wrx.
I've tuned a few of this ecus with the same issue. Please help to correct this problem. Thanks.
It works fine on my car. Need to have the laptop plugged in when selecting what to log. Then save it out.
DBW ECU have no parameter "Knock correction", parameter is named "Learned Ignition Timing". This is SSM option, not program. You can rename it in logdefs.xml if you want to "Knock correction 2"
OK noted. Fyi over here similar earlier model 06EDM wrx (A8DH200Y) which is also DBW I'm able to read/log as KC. Anyways I'll try this out. Thanks!


What is beverage quality assurance?
Beverage quality assurance involves testing of nutrients presence in water and auditing the production process, among other activities. A beverage is usually composed of more than 85% of water and the remaining non-water components include ingredients like sugar, flavouring, sweeteners, colouring etc. Quality control in beverage processing is crucial to detect water contamination which can arise through not just the internal water piping systems but also through the environmental pollution that may have contaminated water source.
Why is beverage testing important?
Various factors, such as temperature, presence of nutrients in water which may lead to growth of microorganisms such as E. coli. and salmonella in the beverages, presence of pollutants in the water and food ingredients like the use of certain additives and preservatives, can affect the taste and drinking quality of the beverages. Therefore, stringent testing approach for water and the ingredients are the first steps towards beverage quality control. Moreover, beverages are subject to scrutiny by the global regulatory agencies. Application of quality control techniques through testing, inspection and auditing can help beverage manufacturing units comply with regulations as well as improve the acceptability of their product amongst the consumers.
TÜV SÜD offers internationally recognised testing services for beverages. Our global presence and state of-the-art laboratories help you to rapidly achieve traceability and quality assurance across your entire supply chain. Our specialist knowledge of regulations and testing expertise means that we ensure your products comply with international and national requirements, including Chinese, Japanese, US FDA and EU standards.

I've just got back from my sister's house – lots of lovely food, all the family there. It was really nice to see everyone together. My nieces, (8, and 1) and nephew, (5), were as boisterous as usual, but very funny – the youngest one, Laila, has learned to 'high five' which she now insists on doing every time she sees me, after carefully handing me her excavated mince pie – (eat the mince, leave the pastry).
But I digress. I actually wanted to rave about a cookery book I received from my youngest sister and her boyfriend – it's fabulous, (although I think I say that about all the books I read). It's a collection of the recipes from a small chain of very well reviewed fast food restaurants, Leon, which I am ashamed to say I'd never heard of, but both my sisters assure me that the food is wonderful. The book I have is actually book 2, and I now have book one on my Amazon wishlist.
As well as the recipes there are a couple of pages dedicated to lists of store cupboard essentials, plus party menus, drinks and, most importantly, the ethos of Leon, which is to provide high quality fast food that is as fast to prepare as it is to cook, and nutritional to boot. I am so looking forward to starting on this book, as well as 'Italia' and 'Kitchen Diaries'.
This is a beautiful book, and exactly how a cookery book should be written. It's not just a collection of recipes and photographs of the results, but a whole story of where the chef grew up and who influenced him. It documents the food he ate as a child and discovered as he grew up, anecdotes of his family and adventures he's been on, and how he became successful.
The photographs also help to tell the stories – it's genuinely a pleasure to read and the recipes are fabulous,divided into seven sections: Antipasti; Zuppa; Risotto; Pasta; Pesce; Carne; Dolci.
None of them are impossibly difficult, and the ones I have tried have produced meals that I could eat over and over again. If I could reproduce one of the photos here I would – my all time favourite is a photograph of pieces of focaccia classica on a wooden board – simple but beautiful and will, like all the others, encourage you to make it just so that you can taste how beautiful it looks!
If you are in the mood for buying a new cookery book, or asking for one for a present, I highly recommend this – you won't regret it.


If a project scores well in at least three of the above criteria, it's a winner. When it scores well in all four, it has the potential to be a blockbuster. That potential blockbuster is Solve.Care.
Solve.Care has developed a revolutionary platform that will significantly improve care outcomes by reducing healthcare administrative costs. The platform will also go a long way toward eliminating a lot of the problems commonly seen within healthcare administration such as duplication, waste, abuse, and fraud. I firmly expect Solve.Care to generate cost savings by facilitating peer-to-peer transactions that grant authority to stakeholders while empowering payers regarding cost control and oversight.
SOLVE token completed its token sale last year in May. The company sold 350,000,000 tokens and still has 650,000,000 in its treasury. The great news is that the token has been recently listed on both Bittrex and KuCoin, two of the largest and most trustworthy exchanges in the world. Given the recent incidents, especially the Cryptopia hack, being on a trustworthy exchange is of paramount importance.
I won't spend a great deal of time focusing on this as this is probably the least important of the four criteria mentioned earlier but Solve.Care is doing quite well on this front. The company's Reddit page has over 1,300 subscribers while the Twitter handle is even more impressive with over 11,000 followers.
In addition to social media, the company appears to be generating a strong following in mainstream media. In 2018, Solve.Care had over 5,000 media mentions, including articles in FinTech Times, Forbes, and a video interview with CNBC Arabia.
With so many projects in the crypto space, spreading awareness is imperative to success. Solve.Care is definitely doing what's needed on this particular front.
With the complexity of today's healthcare system, it is imperative for businesses to come up with new innovative ways to reduce the strain and burden faced by many of the market's participants. Solve.Care is a win for everyone involved.
The platform puts individuals in control of their healthcare in an easy and efficient way. Individuals can easily set appointments, share records, price shop, generate discounts, manage prescriptions, understand specific care information, make payments, and maximize benefits. This is especially true with the launch of Care.Wallet for Family.
Care.Wallet for Family is a healthcare application that allows the user to connect to one or more Care Administration Networks (CAN) to manage their healthcare benefits and manage their health conditions. New releases of Care.Wallet will automatically download Care.Cards for tasks such as managing prescriptions, verifying benefits, making appointments, managing disease conditions and simplifying the administrative and care coordination process.
In addition to individuals and families, Solve.Care is likely to gain mass adoption among physicians as well. The platform strives to reduce the administrative burden, deliver better quality of care and provide for more face to face time between doctor and patient. Because of Solve.Care, doctors will be able to show their availability, double check patients' medical coverage (including deductibles), have better access to highly accurate records, write prescriptions and coordinate with specialists and labs. If it's one thing that doctors absolutely hate, it's wasting time on paperwork and dealing with insurance companies. Solve.Care completely eliminates the need for that.
The company took the adoption possibility one step forward with the launch of Care.Wallet for Physician. This solution displays provider quality data and distributes financial rewards. Arizona Care Network will use these rewards to align providers with the mission of improving populating health at a lower total cost of care. Care.Wallet for Physician is the first solution in history utilizing blockchain technology and digital currency (i.e. value-based payments) in the U.S. healthcare industry. The value-based payments occur with the healthcare digital currency called Care.Coin.
With many cryptocurrency projects failing to live up to expectations, it's nice to finally see one go above and beyond what many thought possible.
Starting a new business, especially one attempting to disrupt an industry as powerful as the U.S. healthcare system, requires strategic partnerships. In February 2018, Solve.Care inked a huge partnership with one of the largest accountable care organizations in the United States. This is a huge, strategic partnership for Solve.Care because ACN has a network of more than 5,500 doctors covering more than 250,000 clients. Between this partnership, Care.Wallet for Family and Care.Wallet for Physician, Solve.Care has continued to demonstrate its ability to develop blockchain-based healthcare solutions. It is quickly becoming a major player in the U.S. healthcare market.
A company's leadership is an often-overlooked area when evaluating cryptocurrency projects but it's one that is essential. Without the guidance and strategic vision from capable executives, a company often flounders about without a true identity. Fortunately, Solve.Care is being run by someone with incredible experience in the field, Pradeep Goel.
Pradeep has 26 years of experience working in a variety of areas including technology, human services, healthcare, and finance. He has been able to hone his leadership and managerial skills by holding various titles such as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Information Officer, and Chief Technology Officer. Pradeep previously built 4 healthcare IT companies. Because of that wealth of knowledge and leadership acquired over time, Pradeep will be able to guide Solve.Care through all the challenges that start-up businesses face.
Cryptocurrency has been extremely challenging over the past year. Without a clear direction of where things are headed, token owners will need to be more careful than ever. Instead of chasing a quick buck, token owners need to carefully look at a project's underlying business, goals, and leadership. After looking at Solve.Care, I firmly believe in its potential to be a long-term winner!

The tears are fresh and the hurt continues to stab at my heart. I need to change my thoughts to the gifts that I have been given. My grandson's birthday. I remember the two hour drive to Statesville, not yet a grandmother. At that point, not sure if I wanted to be one. Then this beautiful baby was born. I never would have thought a red headed boy could be so beautiful! Thank you Lord for my grandson. I pray I will always appreciate this amazing gift.
Speaking of gifts. They come in all shapes and sizes but the most special ones are the people God has given us. They come in the shape of grandchildren, children, husbands, sisters and brothers. And then there are the friends, the chosen gifts. We can take them for granted if we are not careful. These friendships need to be nurtured like flowers in a garden. If we are not careful, weeds can grow up all around our relationships and the distractions of this life can choke out the blossoms of a friendship. On the other hand being together creating memories and finding reasons for laughter will surely cause the flower to open wide and display all of its wonderful glory. Through the highs but particularly the lows of this life can loosen our souls and create the rich soil needed for my garden of friends. So as difficult as this time is, I do believe God is creating a beautiful arrangement that will withstand this present storm and ones to follow.

In the 2017 Global Report on Internal Displacement, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) set out to better understand the relationship between internal displacement and cross-border movements. As part of the resulting Invisible Majority thematic series, the forthcoming report, based on over three hundred interviews in Iraq, Jordan, and Sweden, examines drivers of displacement and onward movement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) within and across borders, provides better understanding of priorities and preconditions for voluntary return, and examines obstacles to durable solutions for returning refugees and IDPs in Iraq.
IDMC warmly invites you to attend the launch of this new study on 1 November 2018 at the International Conference Centre in Geneva. After a presentation of IDMC's findings, a panel of experts will respond to a series of questions drawn from the study's key findings and recommendations, encouraging further contributions from the floor.

Itinerary: Bulgaria
Wreath-Laying Ceremony
Nevski Square
President Clinton and President Stoyanov will participate in a brief wreath-laying ceremony at the Memorial Flame. The traditional location for formal arrival ceremonies, this site commemorates Bulgaria's Unknown Soldier from World War I. It is a simple memorial, with a plaque and an eternal flame. A military honor guard is usually present.
Photo Opportunity and Bilateral Meeting with President Petar Stoyanov of Bulgaria
President Clinton and President Stoyanov will be joined by Bulgaria's Ambassador to the United States, Philip Dimitrov, and Vladimir Filipov, Secretary to the President on Foreign Policy Issues.
The Presidency is located directly across the street from the Council of Ministers, and is part of the same complex of communist-era buildings that is sometimes referred to as the "Largo." It is built in the Stalinist, neo-classical style and is attached to the Sheraton Hotel. Long-time communist dictator Tudor Zhivkov had his office here. The first democratically elected president, Zhelyu Zhelev and his successors have all continued to utilize this office. President Stoyanov had the communist stars, hammers, and sickles chiseled off the facade. Ceremonial guards at the entrance wear white tunics trimmed in red in memory of the uniform worn by Bulgarian freedom fighters in the 1876-78 war of liberation from the Ottoman Empire.
Photo Opportunity and Bilateral Meeting with Prime Minister Ivan Kostov
Council of Ministers Building
The President and Prime Minister Kostov will be joined by Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Bozhkov, Minister of Finance Muravei Radev, and Minister of Trade and Tourism Valentin Vassilev.
The Council of Ministers building is part of a complex of communist-era government buildings in the center of Sofia. Constructed between 1953 and 1957, this central area of cold, Stalinist-era cement block architecture consists of the north-facing wing of the Sheraton Hotel, the Presidency, the former Communist Party headquarters, the Council of Ministers, and TsUM -- the Central Department Store which is currently under renovation. After a fire in August 1990 (sections blackened by smoke on the white stone exterior are still clearly visible), the Party abandoned the building. Its most distinctive feature, a giant red star perched on an 18-meter-high mast, was removed. For a short time, the building was used as a cultural center. The luxurious 1,250 seat-congress hall, formerly reserved for party conferences and meetings of the Central Committee, beautifully decorated with oak, was converted to a movie theater; the sumptuous lobby, with its 32 multicolored marble columns and mosaics, functioned as an impromptu bazaar. From 1996 to 1998, it was closed to the public. Recently reopened as St. Sofia Hall, it has found a new role more befitting its elegance hosting classical concerts and special events.
Roundtable Discussion with Bulgarian Youth
Meeting with Leader of Parliament Yordan Sokolov
National Assembly Building
The President will meet with Yordan Sokolov, the Chairman of the National Assembly. The National Assembly is located south of Alexander Nevski Square on National Parliament Square. The building was constructed by a Bulgarian architect in 1884, five years after Bulgaria won its independence. The slogan Obedienenieto Pravi Silata ("Unity in Strength") is written on the main facade. In 1997, angry crowds protesting the Socialist government damaged the building. In the face of these protests, the government resigned and new elections were held. The United Democratic Forces (UDF) won those elections. Since 1989, the National Assembly building has been home to the first democratically elected national legislature in Bulgaria since before WorldWarII.
The National Assembly is situated on the "yellow brick road," which stretches across the heart of Sofia. A gift from Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria in 1907 to his cousin, Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg, these pale yellow bricks make up one of Sofia's most distinctive landmarks and lend an attractive, regal quality to the city's center.
On the square just opposite Parliament is a monument to the "Tsar-Liberator," Russian Tsar Alexander II, so called because he defeated the Ottoman Turks in 1879, leading to the re-emergence of an independent Bulgarian state for the first time in 500 years. Designed by the Italian sculptor Arnoldo Zocchi and erected in 1905, the 14-meter high statue depicts the tsar riding on horseback and grasping a declaration in his right hand. Just below the statue is a sculptural group depicting the goddess of victory -- sword and shield in hand -- leading the Russian troops and Bulgarian volunteers on one side and the warm welcome of the Bulgarian people for their liberators on the other. On three sides of the pedestal base are smaller base reliefs portraying the battle of Stara Zagora, the signing of the San Stefano peace treaty, and a scene from the first National Assembly.
Speech to the People of Bulgaria
The President will deliver his speech to the people of Bulgaria in the square adjacent to the Nevski Church. Completed in 1912 in honor of the Russian casualties of the 1877-78 war of liberation from Ottoman rule, the Alexander Nevski Memorial Church is one of the finest pieces of architecture in the Balkans. Craftsmen and artists from six countries worked on the five-aisle church for 30 years. They created renowned masterpieces of icons, frescos, murals, and chandeliers. The interior is adorned with Italian marble, Egyptian alabaster, Brazilian onyx, gold, and mosaics embodying the spirit of the finest Eastern Orthodox traditions.
The church was named for military commander and Russian prince, Alexander Nevski, who defeated Swedish and German expansion into Russia in 1236 and 1240, respectively. He was made a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church in 1547.
Kempinski Hotel
President Stoyanov will be hosting a State Dinner in President Clinton's honor at the Hotel Kempinski, a modern hotel built in the 1980's in downtown Sofia. Prime Minister Kostov, the Speaker of Parliament, government ministers, members of Parliament and prominent business people are expected to attend.
SOFIA, BULGARIA and SKOPJE, MACEDONIA and U.S. SECTOR, KOSOVO
Embassy Event
The President will have an opportunity to meet Embassy staff and thank them for their support. The Embassy personnel currently consists of officers representing State, USAID, Commerce, Defense, Agriculture, and the Peace Corps.
Following the embassy event, the President will depart Sofia en route Skopje, and then on to the U.S. Sector, Kosovo.
Meeting with President of Macedonia
Skopje Airport
The present Skopje International Airport was built in the mid-1960s following the devastating earthquake of 1963. After independence was declared in 1991, implementation of policies aimed at development of amarket economy and privatization led to the establishment of twoprivate Macedonian airlines and the beginning of direct flights of private carriers among the capitals in the region. Nonetheless, the daily number of take-offs and landings from Skopje was in the low two digits.
During the NATO airstrikes against Serbia in the Kosovo crisis between March 26 and June 10, however, Skopje airport became an international hub, with several dozen flights departing and arriving daily, including 747s. At first, most flights brought in supplies for refugee relief, while other NATO aircraft brought in military equipment for later use in Kosovo when hostilities ceased. In addition, the airport became the point of departure for many of the 100,000 refugees who traveled by air to third-country destinations, including the United States.
The movement of the first of more than 40,000 KFOR troops into Kosovo began immediately after the cessation of hostilities against Serbia on June 11. On that day, more than 100 flights arrived and departed from Skopje airport, a record number that will not be matched in the foreseeable future. The airport remains busy, however, as the vast bulk of military supplies for KFOR either moves by train from Thessaloniki in Greece or arrives by air in Skopje.
Following events at the U.S. Sector and Camp Bondsteel, the President will depart for Aviano Air Force Base, and then on to Washington, D.C. He will arrive in Washington early on the morning of Wednesday, November 24.

Q: Repairing deleted Bootcamp partition I accidentally deleted a Bootcamp partition on my 2019 MacBook Pro running Big Sur.

I used the following apps on an external Big Sur boot:

*

*Data Rescue: scanned the blocks and found nothings

*EaseUS: found no data

*Stellar: found nothing

However now when I reboot my MacBook the Windows boot option appears. It didn't before and I get this screen below. Did one of these apps bring the Windows boot option back up? Any thoughts on saving the files and even the Windows itself? The control strip doesn't allow me to choose an option. The strip is just blank. Hitting fn does nothing.

As a side note, is it worth it to use Parallels with these apps to access the files on this Windows partition? I can seem to get Parallels even find the Bootcamp partition yet.


Julia, my nine-year-old daughter, was asked by a gentleman from the music industry whether she could play the piano before a dinner crowd of five hundred.
After that casual exchange, a chain of events took place very quickly: an audition followed by numerous practice sessions, then rehearsals and finally, the big day itself.
The occasion was the "Save A Life with Music'' charity concert in aid of the National Kidney Foundation on June 10 at the Crystal Crown Hotel in Petaling Jaya.
Altogether, some 20 "Play By Ear'' students from Music Talentech Services took part in the concert. Interestingly, Julia was one of the youngest among the participants whose age ranged from six to 45 years old.
All played a significant role in helping to raise about RM20,000 for the foundation.
When I talked to the participants, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they have something in common with Julia; they can also play a song on the piano just by listening to it.
Some, like students Wai Khai Juinn, 12, and Teh Vee Vien, nine, are self-declared "drop-outs'' from conventional piano courses.
Others like physician Dr Toh Foh Fook, 45, and information technology professional Siew Chin Kok, 38, are adult beginners with no previous piano training prior to their participation in the "Play By Ear'' course conducted by Music Talentech.
On the other hand, Julia has being attending a conventional piano course for the past two and a half years. Her participation in the "Play By Ear'' course, and eventually the concert, is the result of a recent chance meeting with Raymond Peter, a music consultant with Music Talentech.
"Your daughter has the natural ability to play by ear,'' he declared enthusiastically after hearing Julia play My Heart Will Go On, the theme song of the movieTitanic, before she saw the notes of the song.
"Can you play other songs?'' he asked Julia.
"I can!'' Julia said confidently.
Raymond's response took me by surprise. He was simply exhilarated, and I was bemused. The fact is being Julia's mother, I am so "used'' to her tinkering on the piano and picking out tunes at random that I don't pay attention to it anymore.
When asked when she started to play songs on the piano, I was flabbergasted. She had been hammering on the piano keys since a toddler.
In our home, the piano cover is almost never closed. Besides, I never minded the occasional marks left by little sticky fingers on the piano keys. Perhaps, this encouraged my daughter to treat the enormous musical instrument as her toy.
To Raymond's question, Julia brightly remarked that she could already play songs before she started any formal piano lessons.
During the charity concert, Julia played Aqua's Barbie Girl as her main piece based on the fact that she likes the Barbie Doll.
I can declare that she has never seen the music notes nor the lyrics of this song. Hearing it on the CD player for the first time, she immediately picked up a few bars of the song and added in the chords for harmony.
To prepare for the concert, she listened more carefully to the song and improvised on it by playing different parts of it on different octaves. It was the same with Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting.
Talking to other participants and some of their parents, I began to gain some insight into this play by ear phenomenon.
Some people have the ability to find the tune on the piano and reproduce it after listening to it. Others seem to do it after a concentrated and prolonged period of studying.
This ability, however, can be enhanced through proper guidance to improve the musicianship and pianistic facility of the individual.
Information technology professional Siew knew he could play by ear since a child, but he had never got around to doing something about it until he enrolled as a student with Music Talentech a year ago.
In less than a year with the "Play By Ear'' course, he was confident enough to render his favourite song at the charity dinner.
He said that even though he is an adult beginner at the piano course, he still feels immensely happy because he has found a means of emotional self-expression as well as aesthetic fulfilment. "It is very self-satisfying,'' he said.
If you happen to see them together at the studio having a jam session on three pianos simultaneously, you may be able to understand how a mother's heart can swell like a sail caught in a billowing wind.
Music Talentech is having a Play By Ear/Casio Exhibition at Subang Parade from June 23 to July 2. Julia will play her songs on June 25 (Sunday) from 4-8pm.
