Pandemics and Inequality: From the Black Death to the Spanish Flu (and Beyond)
Hervé Joly, JVI Director
Guido Alfani, Professor of Economic History, Department of Social and Political Sciences, Bocconi University
Philipp Heimberger, Economist, the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies
Recent research by Guido Alfani—who is a professor of economic history at Bocconi University—has explored the distributive consequences of major historical epidemics. In his open lecture, Prof. Alfani explored how the current crisis triggered by COVID-19 prompts us to look at the past for insights about how pandemics can affect inequalities in income, wealth, and health.
Alfani highlighted that the fourteenth-century Black Death, which is usually believed to have led to a significant reduction in economic inequality, often attracts a lot of attention. However, the picture becomes much more complex if other epidemics are considered. The lecture covered the worst epidemics of the past, from the great plagues of medieval and early modern times to the cholera waves of the nineteenth century and the Spanish Flu of the twentieth century. It showed how the distributive outcomes of lethal epidemics do not only depend upon mortality rates, but are mediated by a range of factors, chief among them the institutional framework in place at the onset of each crisis. Alfani also explored how past epidemics affected poverty, arguing that highly lethal epidemics could reduce poverty prevalence through two different mechanisms: redistribution towards the poor, or extermination of the poor. If treated carefully, the history of epidemics and pandemics has much to offer towards a better understanding of the current crisis.
In the discussion, Prof. Alfani shared his views on how the COVID-19 crisis may affect poverty and inequality, arguing the current crisis is much more similar to the Spanish flu in the 20th century than to the Black Death of the 14th century. He covered topics such as the role of globalization in moderating the distributional effects of the pandemic, the importance of vaccination and the special difficulties for governments in developing countries when it comes to mitigating the increase in poverty due to the crisis.

Just a few years ago, organic food in Singapore used to be unheard of and had an infamous reputation for being indifferent from traditional foods.
However, ever since the major epidemics that had happened in the world including Sars and the avian flu, people are starting to look for alternative health food to supplement their diets because they believe it can boost their immunity system.
Hence, organic food is now making inroads rapidly in Singapore and has even extended its reach to heartland areas. It used to be only large super markets have an organic food corner but nowadays, even the small supermarkets in the suburbs stock a wide range of both locally grown Singapore organic food and imported organic foodstuffs too.
Although the prices of organic food has not come down much throughout the years compared to some of the other more common food supplies, it still does not deter most people from trying an organic product or two. These people, although they make up a small group in compared to the general population, they are very loyal to the organic brands that they consume. In fact, the total revenue from these group of people can support the 50 organic food stores in Singapore. An approximate spending figure on the organic food market in Singapore is around $6 million to $10 million dollars annually.
The market of organic food in Singapore are both accepted widely by both the young and the old in Singapore. A survey found out that the younger crowd consisting of professionals, managers, entrepreneurs and young business people consume organic food regularly. They usually buy large quantities of oat and organic brown rice to supplement their typical asian diet of rice. Some of the organic food stores in Singapore are finding it hard to keep their organic food in stock even, because the demand for such organic food is high. Many of these people perceived receiving health benefits and an improved immune system from drinking organic fruit juice and eating organic foodstuffs.
Traditionally, organic food in Singapore are imported from Australia, New Zealand and the United States, with the U.S being the major exporter and bringing in the bulk of organic food into Singapore. However, due to the increasing demand for a wider range of organic products, neighbouring countries like Thailand and Malaysia have commited themselves to be future sources of organic products which are coming in to Singapore.
With the recent government master plan of attracting more foreign talents into Singapore, more and more foreign talents are forming a sizeable expatriate community here. These large expatriate communities made up mostly of Western and Japanese professionals and their families also purchase organic products on a regular basis.
Singapore is becoming one the most important markets for organic food. However, as a whole, the market for organic food in Singapore is still growing but its set to increase dramatically in the coming few years.

Home / Shopping / How Much Speed Is Enough When Hunting With a Crossbow?
Hunting With a Crossbow: One of the most common issues that people get into when trying to find crossbows is that they think that the ones that produce the fastest shots are better. Others will look for the best possible arrows that can move even faster. But the problem here is that not every shot that is faster will be better.
A significant concern to note about the speed with a crossbow entails the launching process. The extra force needed to get an arrow to move faster will only cause the target you are going after to be started. The added noise that comes from the crossbow will cause the target to notice the threat in an area.
Therefore, an arrow that is slower will not produce as much noise as a faster one. The lack of force for getting the arrow to move that quickly will not be much of a problem.
Speed can make it harder for you to keep control over a bow. The main problem comes from how a crossbow that produces a faster speed often weighs more than what you can afford to work with. The added weight can be a burden to your attempt to complete a shot. This comes from the extra weight bogging down the bow and keeping the shot from being aligned well.
Having something with a slightly lighter weight might be easier to manage. You would have more control over the shot because you're not trying to reposition yourself or struggle to keep a good hold on a crossbow. While the speed of the arrow might be a little lower at this point, you are still getting a decent shot moving to your liking.
The best thing to do about speed is to be comfortable with closer shots. People often think about speed from a crossbow based on long distances. But crossbow hunting is all about mid-range distances. It is not as though a crossbow is going to travel real far based on how well you shoot.
The right idea for shooting is to think about the speed of the arrow at 30 to 40 yards. This is around the distance that you'll be hunting things at. You should not go too far ahead of yourself when it comes to the shooting speed or else you'll think far too much about speeds that are much faster and better suited for further distances. When trying for something too far, you are only going to produce sounds that would make it easier for your target to notice what you are doing, thus making it harder for you to get a proper shot off.
The most important part of hunting with a crossbow, as Ten Point Crossbows refers, entails how well the arrow enters the target. Even the fastest shot will not do well if the shot does not make it through the target all the way. A clean shot is needed to ensure the target will be taken down accordingly. This includes the arrow going straight into the target at the proper angle to where it can pierce through its outside hide and into its vital organs. The general positioning of the arrow is also important to note based on where on the target's body it reaches.
There are no particular rules out there as to how fast your crossbow shot should be going. You should still look at how well the shot is produced based on the type of crossbow material you have and the kind of target you are going after. Just because a target is larger in size does not mean you need something that goes very fast. Of course, anything that might be too small would certainly be hurt by a faster and more powerful shot. You need to at least think carefully about the shot versus the target, but you should not take in anything that is too fast to where the arrow would obliterate the target and make it useless.
You should not assume that a faster arrow or more powerful crossbow is going to be better for windy conditions. The problem here is that you're not necessarily going to get a better shot off even when the conditions are windy. The wind is not going to be much of an influence when it comes to your shot, so be aware of where you are pulling off your shot if you want to make something work for you.
There is one point about using a crossbow that you should notice. The people at Ten Point Crossbows do suggest that you avoid giving up the kinetic energy that you need for making the most out of your shots. You have to ensure that you have enough kinetic energy for ensuring that your shot moves forward the right way. Getting the kinetic energy needed for a shot is important so you can get the force out for your shot regardless of how fast the arrow is.
Besides, the ability of the arrow to accelerate may be more important than the speed of the arrow itself. The kinetic energy that you produce here should be important to note when you're aiming to make the most out of your shot. You can use that kinetic energy to keep the shot active and to be more proficient in attempting to pierce through its target the right way. The effort should provide enough force to move through even the toughest animals that you might struggle to get through.
You must be aware of how well you're going to handle your crossbow hunting activities. It will not be hard to keep a shot going if you have a good enough speed, but it is essential to notice what you're getting out of your shot. You need to keep yourself from having a shot that is far too fast, or else you might not do well with your shot or even startle your target.

CHAPPO
CHAPPO's third studio album, DO IT, was born of tragedy. On the heels of touring behind their second LP, the dense concept LP Future Former Self, singer Alex Chappo, guitarist David Feddock, and keyboardist Chris Olson all returned home. Their holiday was short-lived, however, as a series of tumultuous events occurred in succession: the band parted ways with longtime drummer Zac Colwell, a record was begun and abandoned, Chappo's best friend committed suicide, and Freddock and his wife lost their young son, Winter. The remaining three members of the band scattered in the wake of this period, and the future seemed bleak. "We were acutely aware that at any moment the whole thing could unravel or fall apart," says Chappo now. Yet ultimately, the band began playing again, taking solace and processing the events through their music. "Almost immediately after losing our son I had a moment of clarity," Freddock explains. "More than ever, all the life and love that was missing needed to come out through the songs we were working on."
The resultant album, DO IT, is a lithe, spangled tumble of a record that strikes at the wild heart of things by paring their sound down to its most primal and joyful components. From the smoldering "White Noise," to the bouncing and funky catharsis anthem "Cry On Me," to the kaleidoscopic, synth-tinged world of "Live My Life," DO IT manages to transmogrify all the less-than-great parts of being a human being into a throbbing, galactic party. The departure of their drummer, who also produced their first two albums, led the band to John Vanderslice, who invited them to record at his analog Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco. The process forced them to make quick decisions, melding nicely with their stripped-down approach. Vanderslice encouraged them to approach the songs they'd written with a sense of spontaneity. "On the last two records, we were were obsessed with listening to each take," says Chappo, "We'd finish a take and would expect to be able to listen back and see if we nailed it. But John wouldn't let us. He'd say 'Either you got it or you think you can do better and we burn that take. You don't get to listen back and psychoanalyze everything to death.'" In the end, the creation of DO IT was an exercise in letting go. The members of CHAPPO, in the midst of personal tragedies and tumult, surrendered control in order to create their most fun, joyful work. Maybe, as the making of DO IT suggests, the way out of sorrow is surrender.
"Do It is filled with upbeat anthems of perseverance and honors the pursuit of passion. While the band's first two albums, Moonwater and Future Former Self, exuded a carefree buoyancy, their latest adds a contemplative spirit." -AllMusic
"To present a track as buoyant, and life affirming as "Cry on Me," in the face of tragedy is an incredible feat that CHAPPO has tackled with tremendous grace. The warm/relaxed yet pristine style from producer John Vanderslice shines through." -KCRW

"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" brings comedic twists to IU Southeast Theater Department's 2019-2020 season
IUS theater department's latest performance of the season is a comedic play written by Christopher Durang
Sydney Randall, News Editor
IU Southeast Theater Department's production of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" brought comedy, Chekhov references and great characterization to the stage when performances began running in the Ogle Center on Friday, Feb. 21.
The production was directed by Ashley Wallace, the visiting assistant professor of theater performance at IU Southeast.
"Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" featured a small cast of only six actors and actresses, three of which made their acting debut on the Robinson Stage in the Ogle Center with this production.
The cast included Jesylyn Batman as Sonia, Hamilton Craig as Spike, Charles Lauffer as Vanya, Carmen Miller as Masha, Avery Wilson as Nina and Esther Yebei as Cassandra.
The play was written by Christopher Durang, who mentioned in an author's note included in the playbill that although three of the character's names were references to names from Anton Chekhov's plays and there are multiple references to Chekhov throughout the play, "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is written in a way that people who did not know Chekhov could enjoy it.
The cast of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" may have been small, but some of the characters seemed larger than life onstage thanks to excellent characterization.
Miller, a senior theatre and Spanish double major at IU Southeast who played the character of Masha in the production, perfectly captured the essence, class and attitude of the successful movie star of the family.
Whether she was having a crisis about her life being over, yelling at her young and handsome boyfriend Spike, or stirring up drama over a costume party, Miller brought a flair to the production that was well-received by the audience.
Yebei, a freshman majoring in psychology at IU Southeast who played the character of Cassandra in the production, amazed audiences with her over-the-top and eccentric portrayal of the clairvoyant cleaning lady.
Whenever Cassandra would enter a scene practicing voodoo, yelling about the cursed future, or even just performing her usual cleaning duties, Yebei's characterization of Cassandra would bring life and movement to scenes that may have otherwise been very one-dimensional.
Set Design and Costume Design
The set design for "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" included an impressive farmhouse set that had multiple rooms and a functioning staircase. All of the scenes took place in the morning room, which was situated at the front of the stage.
Compared to previous productions at IU Southeast that had more minimalistic set designs, the more intricate set design for "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" was a nice and refreshing change of pace.
The costume design for the show was mostly casual with the exception of Miller's character Masha, who wore elegant and fashionable outfits for the duration of the show, and Yebei's character Cassandra, who wore eccentric and vibrant outfits for the duration of the show.
Another exception to the casual costume designs were the Evil Queen, Prince Charming, Doc, Snow White and Dopey costumes for the costume party that Batman, Craig, Lauffer, Miller and Wilson respectively wore for a few scenes.
One criticism about "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" was the pacing of the show itself. The scenes were very long and there were only a few blackouts in both the first and second acts. Each of the actors did a wonderful job, but the length of the scenes could be a little off-putting in certain circumstances.
A scene in particular that had a pacing issue was near the end of the show in the second act. Lauffer's character Vanya has a monologue that serves an important purpose but seems to go on for a bit too long.
While Lauffer performed the monologue well, the length of the scene was distracting especially since it was so close to the end of the show.
Another criticism is that the chemistry between some of the characters could have been improved upon. Some of the relationships, like the one between Masha and Spike, had great chemistry onstage.
However, the relationship between the three siblings (Masha, Vanya and Sonia) could have been stronger in some instances.
Overall, IU Southeast Theater Department's production of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" is one that both IUS students and community members should attend.
Performances of "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" run at the Ogle Center through Feb. 21-23 and Feb. 28-March 1.

China Responds 'Positively' to Indonesian Request on Human Trafficking
by : Web desk
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said Thursday she had demanded during a working visit to China that Beijing ensure Indonesian sailors are safe on China-flagged fishing vessels, after more than a dozen died aboard such boats in less than a year.
At a virtual press conference from Sanya city in Hainan province, on day two of a three-day working visit to China, Retno also said she had stressed to her Chinese counterpart that respect for international law in the South China Sea was necessary for strong ties between Beijing and Southeast Asian nations.
"I conveyed again our concern about the cases that have befallen Indonesian crew members who work on Chinese fishing vessels," Retno said. "I emphasized that this issue is no longer an issue between the private sector, but that the government must be involved to ensure that these humanitarian violations do not occur in the future."
During talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, Retno said she also asked him for legal assistance in presenting witnesses as part of a transparent investigation into human trafficking aboard a China-flagged fishing boat, the Long Xin 629.
"And this request was responded to positively by the Chinese state councilor and foreign minister," Retno said, referring to Wang by his different titles.
In April, Indonesian officials reported the deaths of four Indonesians who had served as crew on the Long Xin 629. It was the first publicized case of Indonesian nationals who had died aboard Chinese boats under working conditions said to be harsh and strenuous, according to labor activists and officials.
Soon after, Retno announced that Jakarta and Beijing were launching a joint investigation into allegations of abuse against Indonesian sailors.
Since April, more reports have surfaced about deaths among Indonesian crew members aboard China-flagged ships, with some of their bodies abandoned at sea. In all, at least 16 Indonesians have died while working on Chinese boats, amid allegations of abuse. It was not immediately clear why Retno asked for assistance with human trafficking aboard only one vessel.
In her latest talks with the Chinese foreign minister, Retno said, she expressed concern about escalating tensions in the contested South China Sea, while urging Beijing to abide by international laws.
"China is one of ASEAN's important partners," Retno said, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. "[This] partnership will continue to be strong as long as the partnership is always carried out with respect to international law, including on the issue of the South China Sea."
China, Taiwan, and four ASEAN states – the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei – have overlapping territorial claims in the strategic sea region, where Beijing has been expanding its military presence.
Indonesia is not among the countries with official claims to the sea, but in 2016 and late 2019 tensions rose between Jakarta and Beijing over the presence of Chinese fishing boats swarming in South China Sea waters near Indonesia's Natuna Islands.
During talks with Wang Yi late last month, Retno urged China to abide by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
China claims it has "historic rights" to most of the sea, but in a landmark case in 2016, an international court of arbitration ruled against China and in favor of the Philippines in finding that Beijing's claims demarcated by a so-called nine-dash line were not supported under UNCLOS.
As a signatory of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation, a treaty set up by ASEAN that aims to establish a code of conduct in the sea region, China is obligated to try to resolve disputes related to the waterway, Indonesia's foreign minister said.
Vietnamese protest
In recent weeks and months, tensions have risen in the South China Sea amid naval maneuvers and exercises conducted by China and the United States, with officials from the rival superpowers also engaging in heated rhetoric lately.
On Thursday, Vietnam signaled its displeasure with China over Beijing's reported deployment of a group of H-6J bombers to the South China Sea in late July.
The warplanes were sent there to participate in anti-ship drills, according to China's Ministry of Defense and Chinese state media. At least one bomber landed on Woody Island, China's largest military base in the Paracel Islands, which are a chain of rocks and reefs disputed between China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
"The fact that relevant sides sent weapons and bombers … not only violates Vietnam's sovereignty but also jeopardizes the situation in the area," Vietnamese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang told a press briefing.
"We call for parties to responsibly contribute to the maintenance of peace, stability and security in the East Sea," she said, using the Vietnamese name for the South China Sea.
China's militarization of its bases in the sea region, however, is set to continue.
Satellite imagery showed three fighter jets at Woody Island on Aug. 13. What appear to be two Shaanxi Y-9 military transport aircraft landed on Woody Island on Aug. 17, along with a surveillance plane.
Another surveillance plane and military transport aircraft is visible at Fiery Cross Reef, one of China's biggest military bases in the Spratly chain of features in the South China Sea, on Aug. 16.

The district of Nalbari has deep roots in culture and education. It boasts of one of the first schools established by the British-the Gordon School. The town of Nalbari now bustling with a population of 7,71,639 as per 2011 Census is expanding at an alarming rate. Urbanization has meant that the town of Nalbari is having an ingress of population from the villages. The market places and residential areas need proper sewerage treatment plants, proper water treatment plants and a planned market place.
Nalbari District Administration is in the process of establishing a robust drainage and sanitation system. It is making efforts place signposts to clearly identify important locations. The district administration of Nalbari has through people's participation ensured the town to become an ivory town. All the shop keepers have voluntarily adopted a single color for their exteriors giving the market places a neat look.
The district administration has requested the shopkeepers to number their shops and has encouraged all of them to purchase individual dustbins. These dustbins are also marked like the shops and are kept in front of the shops for collection by the municipal authorities. The identification of the dumping sites and the exercise of solid waste management is underway.


I have been following the translation of the Bible into the Jamaican language, often called Patwa or Patois. The translation has stirred a controversy that is not typical. New translations of the Bible are often criticized for "faults" in the translation. But that is not what is happening with Patwa. Instead, the critics are unhappy that there is a translation in the language at all. They think that Patwa is not a real language, or not a language worthy of a translation, or they think that people should read the Bible in English instead of Patwa.
But since the reformation, objections in principle to translating the Bible have been rare in the West. But they are surfacing again in Jamaica. Those making the objections probably are mostly unaware that they are saying many of the same things that were said against translation into English before and during the reformation.
Some of the objections are just silly. When the Jesus Film in Patwa was released, a number of people objected that Jesus never spoke Patwa. Of course, those same people have no such objection to the Jesus Film in English. But many sincerely feel that a translation in Patwa is offensive. They cannot imagine any good reason for putting holy, divinely-inspired words into a simple and sometimes reviled language like Patwa.
Some people whom I have met go even further and feel that a modern translation is not only unnecessary but even offensive. They cannot bear to see the time-honoured words altered; it seems to them irreverent.
His response to their concerns is relevant to the discussion in Jamaica today.
The only kind of sanctity which Scripture can lose (or, at least, New Testament scripture) … is an accidental kind which it never had for its writers or its earliest readers. The New Testament in the original Greek is not a work of literary art: it is not written in a solemn, ecclesiastical language, it is written in the sort fo Greek which was spoken over the eastern Mediterranean after Greek had become an international language and therefore lost its real beauty and subtlety. … It is a sort of 'basis' Greek; a language without roots in the soil, a utilitarian, commercial and administrative language.
Does this shock us? It ought not to, except as the Incarnation itself ought to shock us. The same divine humility which decreed that God should become a baby at a peasant-woman's breast, and later an arrested field-preacher in the hands of the Roman police, decreed also that He should be preaching in a vulgar, prosaic and unliterary language. If you can stomach the one, you can stomach the other.
We sometimes run into this same objection in Africa. Christians in African countries were English is the official language and who are used to the time-honored phrases of the King James Version, can find the translation in their language too commonplace, lacking solemnity. The same happens in French-speaking countries with the revered Louis Segond translation. As Lewis points out, the supposed "solemnity" is an invention, something that did not exist in the original New Testament, but something that we have added. The expectation that God speaking will be in a more solemn and holy language than ordinary is aided and abetted when we use an older translation. The archaic language sounds flowery and solemn leading some readers to associate that style with Scripture. We forget that God came down in very, very ordinary form and that we should expect his Word to be the same.
So, in order to see translations widely used, we sometimes have to address the concerns of those who find them too commonplace, especially if they are in positions of authority. It's not a part of being in Bible translation that I expected. I'm following the developments in Jamaica to see how proponents of the translation answer the critics. I might borrow some of their arguments. On the other hand, it looks like maybe the positive impact of the translation in peoples' lives will be more powerful than any logic.
In 1800, of all the languages in the world, only 68 had a translation of the Bible. Today, the number of languages with the whole Bible stands at 670 and another 1521 have the New Testament. A total of 3321 have some or all of the Bible in print. You can find all these facts at http://www.wycliffe.net/statistics.
Most of these translations were done by Western missionaries; making the last two hundred years the era of missionary Bible translation. The missionary approach has been very successful both in terms of the number of translations and in terms of the spread of Christian faith. It will certainly go down as a glorious era in the annals of missions.
But the missionary era is fast coming to an end. While new translations are still starting at a good clip, fewer and fewer of them are started, organized or lead by missionaries. Local people and churches are doing those things. This shift is anything but a sign of failure. In fact, it is the exact opposite – a sign of success. In Ghana where I work, Ghanaians who themselves received the Bible in their languages during the era of missionary translation are now undertaking translation in the languages of Ghana not yet so endowed. This turn of events is healthy – to be expected where God is working.
Missionaries did things in a certain way – one that suited their preferences and those of their organizations. Ghanaians are keeping some of those ways, but in other cases they are mixing things up. I expected they will change more things over the next decades. With others around the world and under God's guidance, they are inventing the next era of Bible translation.
About two centuries ago, German church leaders, business people and others seized an opportunity. They sent missionaries to evangelize and translate the Bible into the languages of the Gold Coast, now called Ghana. Some came with their coffins in tow and a number died while carrying out their work. Some lost children. But they bent German economic-industrial and theological prowess to the task. They trained select Gold Coast citizens in the world's best seminaries of the day – German seminaries – under the best theologians of the day – again German. They did language development, translation, literacy education and evangelism in the languages of the Gold Coast using some of the best linguistics training of the day from German universities. They created dictionaries and grammars of Ghanaian languages which are still highly regarded, even definitive. They produced world-class Bible translations in the languages of the southern half of Ghana. As the translations were completed, they were forced to leave because of World War I. At that point, their evangelistic efforts had only yielded modest fruit as the Gold Coast was then less than 5% Christian.
During the first half of the twentieth century, Christianity expanded rapidly, but only where there were translations. Where they existed, mother tongue translations enabled Christianity to penetrate all classes of society. Men with minimal education but who read the Bible in their mother tongues became church leaders, pastors, and evangelists. With their mother tongue Bibles they grew the church in a relatively hostile environment. Some of those churches now have millions of members and thousands, even tens of thousands, of congregations. Schools founded by the missionaries trained the people who went on to militate for and then gain Ghana's independence and lead its businesses and industries.
Meanwhile, the transformation did not take place in areas where there was no translation. Ghana was decisively transformed where German missionaries translated the Bible, and left untouched elsewhere. Let us remember that their efforts were initiated, organized and financed by German churches and that those churches were being empowered by their members who were both creating and benefiting from 19th century Germany's emergence as a world theological, industrial and economic power. When church members stand behind missions, amazing things happen.
Today (May 3) is World Press Freedom Day. This year marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. According to World Magazine editor Marvin Olasky, modern journalism has roots in the man whose started the Reformation – Martin Luther. In 1517 he posted a list of 95 thoughts (called 95 theses) on various church practices of his day on the door of the church at Wittenburg, starting the Reformation.
Within months, Luther's document had been picked up by the newly invented printing industry and spread throughout Europe. I turned out that Luther wrote vivid prose and he turned out many short articles on the key religious and political issues of his day. He also translated the Bible into German.
The second idea is that ordinary people using their everyday language can understand and make their own decisions about the issues that affect them. This was also radical as many in Luther's day expected people to just do what political and religious authorities told them.
In our days in the Western world, these two ideas are so basic that we don't often think about them. But in some places they are still radical. I have met Protestant pastors and even the occasional missionary who didn't like the translation in the heart language (the people's mother tongue) because they felt it undermined their authority. The thing is, they are right; it does indeed undermine their authority.
When people read and study God's Word, they start questioning what they have been taught. Yale history professor Lamin Sanneh has documented cases of Christians in Africa reading the Bible in their languages and then adopting different understandings than those held by their missionaries.
That changes in peoples' heart and thinking was critically important.
Heart change cannot not be accomplished by applying authority.
That God will act powerfully through his Word in the people's language.
The spectacular growth of Christianity in Ghana where the Bible has been translated into the languages of the people is one of the testaments to freeing the Word Luther-style. We are working to freeing it for the peoples in Ghana who have not yet been accorded the opportunity to it judge for themselves.
Last week, this blog was about how Bible translations done in Ghana in the late 1800s contributed to dramatic church growth in the first half of the 1900s. I also noted that after a first wave of translations carried out by German Presbyterian missionaries, there were no translations started in other Ghanaian languages for 50 years. The churches that grew on the basis of those translations, who used them widely and enthusiastically did not take up the task of translating the Bible for their fellow Ghanaians who still did not have the Bible in their languages.
This situation is not unusual. The Bible was translated into the Ge'ez language (also called Ethiopic) of Ethiopia sometime in the 5th, 6th, and 7th centuries. It was one of the first translations of the Bible coming just after Jerome did his translation, the Vulgate, into Latin.
It was also followed by a time when no more translations were done, but the stoppage in Africa lasted over 1000 years! Having been blessed with a translation in their own language, Ethiopian Christians did not start other translations. Exactly the opposite! Even when the Ge'ez language died out sometime before the year 1300, the church and Christians in Ethiopia continued to use and revere the Ge'ez translation that no one understood except a few academics. Not only did they fail to translate the Bible into the Amharic language which became the most widely spoken language in Ethiopia, they insisted that the incomprehensible Ge'ez translation was the only real Word of God.
History shows that it is the usual pattern that people who receive a translation of the Bible from missionaries and use it enthusiastically, do not then decide to translate the Bible for others. In fact, they might insist that others use the Bible in their language, even when that translation becomes archaic or the language even disappears. In this sense, translating the Bible is often a dead-end task. Oh, it bears fruit in terms of faith and the growth of the church where that language is spoken. In that way it is anything but a dead-end.
But translating is most often a dead-end in terms of prompting the beneficiaries to do a translation for a language next door or in the next country. There are probably many American Christians who are deeply blessed by the Bible in English but who have not thought about making sure those who speak other languages have the same blessing.
Our role in Ghana is to work with Ghanaians to show the churches here the dead-end sign they have erected without thinking about it so that the Holy Spirit might prompt them to take it down and build a continuation of the road missionaries started by translating the Bible into the Ghanaian languages that still don't have it, and then continue beyond Ghana's borders.
It was in the late 1800s and early 1900s that missionaries working with local people completed the first translations of the Bible into the languages of southern and central Ghana. At the time, less than five percent of Ghanaians were Christians. The German Presbyterian missionaries saw their churches grow slowly but steadily.
Then two things happened no one expected.
The first was World War I. At the time, Ghana was then The Gold Coast and it was a British colony. As you can imagine, Germans were not welcome when Britain entered WWI, not even missionaries. The authorities expelled the German missionaries. The church they had started had to stand on its own. It did, and it grew, using the Scriptures and liturgy in local languages.
The second unexpected event was the arrival of Pentecostalism. A layman named Peter Newman Anim left a church founded by missionaries, encountered some pentecostal theology coming out of Portland, Oregon and founded the Christ Apostolic Church. Those who ministered with him were uneducated farmers, laborers, fishermen and even hunters. So they didn't know English. The Bibles in Ghanaian languages became their only source of faith and truth. They worshiped, read, taught and evangelized in those languages. In the first half of the 20th century, Pentecostalism reached deeply into the uneducated who were most Ghanaians at the time. They learned to read in church, their songs were full of Scripture and they took the Bible as the Word of God. The results were astounding. Over the first five decades of the 20th century, the percentage of Ghanaians professing Christian faith grew from a paltry 5% to at least 50% (it stands at 60% today). But only where the Bible had been translated. Elsewhere, other religions made headway.
It was quite a combination: the Scriptures in the mother tongue and a church that took both the mother tongue and the Scriptures seriously. They had no doubts whatsoever that God speaks through his Word. Nor did they wonder if their language was up to the task of conveying Bible truth.
Some of my colleagues recently went to visit the head of the church Anim founded. On hearing that they are involved in translation into Ghanaian languages, he spontaneously launched into a historic and theological rationale for the use of the heart language (including the translation of the Bible) to create vibrant churches. He should know; his church has grown to have several million members and although it has many educated members, the backbone is still preaching, singing, worship and reading the Bible in the heart language.
The translation of the Bible in Ghana stopped after the German missionaries left. No new translations were started for 50 years. In the 1960s, a new wave of Bible translation, this one initiated by Wycliffe Bible Translators, started in the north. By the 1970s New Testaments were being dedicated here and there in the North. More recently, and 100 years after it happened in the south, a number of whole Bibles have been dedicated. Just as happened in the south 100 years ago, churches based on the Scriptures in the heart languages of the people are taking hold. But, there was a short stoppage again from 1990 through 2010. We are working to have the third wave of translation in Ghana be the last and be the one designed, implemented and resourced by churches and Christians in Ghana.
In May last year, a country lifted a ban on the Bible which had been in place since 1969. When I learned about it, I laughed. I was thinking about the futility of banning the Bible. There has been a long history of banning the Bible and all attempts have failed. In one case hundreds of years ago, William Warham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, tried to ban Tyndale's translation into English as well as other books.
Did you know that China now prints more Bibles than any other country? The Bible is now available in Russia and other parts of the former Soviet Union. In fact, Russians are translating the Bible into the languages of Ghana.
It is silly to ban the Bible. For one thing, the ban never sticks. Oh, it might stick for a few decades, but history shows that a ban on the Bible is not sustainable government policy.
Because I have spent most of my adult life in Africa, people in the US sometimes ask me how I see my country. One of my observations: Christians don't laugh enough at the actions of government, officials and politicians while wringing their hands too much.
We need to imitate God more by having a good belly laugh at some stuff that usually has us in consternation.
There are still plenty of places in the world where the Bible cannot be freely distributed, studied or translated. Join me in a laugh of faith in the hope that will change.
This week is Banned Books Week which is an annual celebration of the freedom to read, first celebrated in 1982. I don't like everything that everyone celebrates during banned books week, but I would like to celebrate a particular case.
Do you know what country mounted a military operation, including deploying its navy to prevent a book from being imported into the country? And do you know what book that might be?
Given the subject of this blog, you have probably guessed that the banned book was the Bible.
It now seems quite extraordinary, but the whole country was put on alert. In order to prevent the word of God in English landing in the land of the English, naval ships patrolled the coastal waters, boats were stopped and searched, men were arrested and a great many Bibles were intercepted. The action taken was indistinguishable from being on a war footing and to Henry VIII and Wolsey it was just that. Latin was the only word of God allowed by the state and now the state came out in full armed force to defend its most loyal ally, the Church.
In many traditional societies, religious language has tended to be confined to a small elite of professionals.
If God spare my life, I will see to it that the boy who drives the plowshare knows more of the scripture than you, Sir!
The Christian approach to translatability strikes at the heart of such gnostic tendencies, first by contending that the greatest and most profound religious truths are compatible with everyday language, and second, by targeting ordinary men and women as worthy bearers of the religious message.
Today, few Christians subscribe openly to the idea that we should blindly follow religious experts. But sometimes our actions are not fully aligned with the idea every person can know the truth when they have the Word of God to consult and the Holy Spirit to guide them. I have seen missionaries and churches willing to put resources into propagating their doctrines but not into giving people the Word in their language. That approach is closer to Wolsey's than it is to Tyndale's. I have full confidence that making God's Word widely accessible is good for Christian faith, the church, families and all of society. Research into the impact of Bibles in Ghanaian languages confirms this.
During banned books week, let's celebrate Tyndale. Let's also check the practices of our churches and missionary endeavors to make sure that they do not subtly elevate something else to the place where it eclipses the Bible.
Those of you following this blog will have notice that I have a fascination with the reformers. A lot of that is because of my ministry – helping African churches engage in Bible translation. So I wanted to know what provoked the spate of translation of the Bible surrounding the reformation, thinking that might help me with my goals. I believe that it does.
Today (May 26) in 1564, John Calvin died. He did not translate the Bible but he was a solid supporter of those who did. One of Calvin's most lasting legacies is his systematic theology, which he entitled Institutes. In fact, it is still for sale today in several languages. As did many theologians of his day, Calvin wrote his theology in Latin. That was, after all, the language of the clergy and other theologians. It was, however, not accessible to the people. So, when Calvin revised his Institutes, he wrote them in his mother tongue – French. At the time, that was very unusual. But it is easy to see Calvin's logic. He wanted to get theology out of academia and into the street. The best theology is not written by the pens of academics, it is the simple but profound beliefs written on the hearts of ordinary people when the Spirit makes the Scriptures real to them.
Other reformers did the same – writing at least some of their academic and popular works in their mother tongues. They turned away from the recognition they might have received from the world of clergy and theologians; turning their focus toward ordinary people. This turn toward ordinary people as "worthy bearers of the message" (Lamin Sanneh's words) and as a force in change, informed not just their translation efforts, but many other things they did.
Today I have the same confidence – that ordinary Africans, even those with little education, can be a force for change in their families, villages, cities and countries through knowledge of the Word of God in their languages. This confidence is not theoretical. In the places in Ghana where the Bible has been translated, ordinary people are changing things. Sometimes educated Ghanaians are surprised to see the degree of change initiated by those with much less education but who have become conversant with the Bible in their languages.
Every year, Armenian Christians celebrate Mesrop Mashtots who passed away on this day (February 17) in the year 440. He was an Armenian theologian, linguist and hymnologist, best known inventing the Armenian alphabet in 405 AD.
He was born to a noble family and had a classical education, but left his privileged position to preach the Gospel in Armenia. He had great difficulty establishing people in faith because Syriac was the only language used in church services and few Armenians understood it. Mesrop wanted to minister in Armenian, the language of the people. There was a problem; the Armenian language did not have an alphabet. It has never been written.
Mesrop enlisted the support of the King for this endeavor to create an alphabet for Armenian. As soon as he finished the alphabet others translated the Bible into Armenian using the new alphabet. He then started schools in Armenian to drive learning down to everyone.
The very first sentence written in the new Armenian alphabet was the first verse of the Book of Proverbs: "To know wisdom and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding." Even today, Armenians consider Mesrop's creation of the Armenian alphabet one of the most important events in their history. Not only did it enable the translation of the Bible, it also caused an explosion of writing in Armenian. Literature abounded.
Such was the religious, social and cultural impact that there is hardly a town in Armenia which does not have a street named after Mesrop.
It is odd to think about Europeans as illiterate peasants speaking languages without writing – people needing to climb the tall hill of learning another language to get education or have access to the Bible. But it was really like that. In that context, which is the same as that or most bibleless peoples today, Mesrop did not see developing an alphabet as an academic exercise. Rather he saw it as fundamental to anchoring Armenians in the faith and to having an informed society. It is this same motivation that even today keeps people developing alphabets for unwritten languages, organizing literacy and translating the Bible.
Driving information, and the ability to store and process information, down to the grassroots is not a paternalistic endeavor where the missionary seeks to "civilize" local people. Rather, it is a way to give people the tools that enable them to make their own decisions and promote the changes they want. It is a missionary method that believes that the through the Bible the Holy Spirit will guide new converts to make the right choices. It is quite different from an approach where the Christians at the top expect people at the grassroots to learn the language of those at the top to get access to the Bible. Or one where the VIPs tell people at the grassroots what they should believe and do.
This table shows the codes for using the Armenian alphabet on computers. In a few short clicks I put the Armenian keyboard on my computer and typed this: աբգդէֆքհիճկլմնոպխրստըվւցեզ. Mesrop would be pleased.

Lost London
Government grants 'right to transfer' to Cressingham Gardens but rejects Earls Court estates' bid
11th July 2019 14th July 2019
Housing minister Kit Malthouse might be challenged over his decisions
The government's housing minister has given a boost to one campaign by a London residents' organisation for their estate to be transferred out of their local council's ownership and delivered a blow to another in long-awaited decisions made in the past two days.
Lambeth Council has been told to facilitate a proposal submitted to it by a group from the Cressingham Gardens estate, despite its argument that the proposed transfer of homes to a private, resident-led housing organisation would have a "significant detrimental effect on the regeneration of the area".
However, Hammersmith & Fulham (H&F) will not have to co-operate with the similar company set up by those opposed to the demolition of the adjoining West Kensington and Gibbs Green estates, which currently fall within the wider Earls Court redevelopment area.
Informing Lambeth that "the stock transfer process should continue", housing minister Kit Malthouse wrote that, although there had been "continuous engagement" with Cressingham residents, the council had made "no evidenced concrete progress" with its plans to redevelop the site – plans the residents' group has long opposed.
He said that the resident group's "people's plan" for the future management of the estate is likely to have a "positive impact" on the area it covers and that, as the estate accounts for only 1% of Lambeth's housing stock, its loss would have little adverse effect on the council's ability to maintain services for the rest of its housing or significantly reduce its income from rents.
However, a spokesperson for Lambeth said the council remains "committed to rebuilding Cressingham Gardens to provide better homes for existing residents and more homes for people on the council house waiting list". The council added: "This announcement was based on information submitted in 2016 and we will need time to consider the implications". It also noted that the ministry found that its own regeneration plans too would have a positive impact locally.
In 2017, Sadiq Khan awarded Lambeth £55 million to help fund new affordable homes in the borough, including on the Cressingham Gardens site.
The minister had been asked by both H&F and by West Ken Gibbs Green Community Homes Ltd (WKGGCH) to make a decision about the stock transfer of the two estates in the West London borough. The council said it had grounds for rejecting a stock transfer proposal, submitted in August 2015, prompting WKGGCH to ask the secretary of state to determine if this view was valid. H&F then made its own approach to the ministry, asking it to decide if a transfer of the estates' housing stock would "have a significant detrimental effect on the provision of housing services…or the regeneration of the area".
Malthouse, a former London Assembly Member for the borough, said he accepted H&F's position, saying "there is sufficient ground to conclude that the Earls Court regeneration scheme is making concrete progress".
However, a spokesperson for WKGGCH has called Malthouse's decision "arbitrary", accused him of addressing a different point from the one the council raised, and claimed it is "directly contradicted" by the relevant regulations. He also mocked the characterisation of the state of the wider Earls Court regeneration scheme as "impossible to reconcile with the facts".
The main section of Earls Court scheme is widely considered stalled, with no new housing built on a site cleared of the Earls Court exhibition centre buildings in 2015. Principal developer Capital and Counties (Capco), which in 2014 formed a joint venture with landowner Transport for London (TfL) to build housing on the site, has instead been seeking a buyer for its interests, to the mounting frustration of TfL and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
The two estates are currently subject to a conditional land sale agreement between the Labour-run council – signed under a previous, Conservative, administration – and the council has been seeking their release back to its control. Mayor Khan has said that any new masterplan for the area drawn up with a different developer would not meet with his approval unless the estates are returned to the council.

Here is a quiz for upcoming Banking exams like IBPS Clerk V. This quiz contains important questions which match the pattern of IBPS PO and IBPS Clerk, so make sure you attempt today's English IBPS PO and Clerk Quiz to check your preparation level.
English Quiz 9
Que. 1
The following question consists of a single sentence with one blank only. You are given six words as answer choices and from the six choices you have to pick up two correct answers, either of which will make the sentence meaningfully complete.
When my uncle drinks too much, he becomes very ————— and will fight anyone.
(A) Quiet
(B) Polite
(C) Overemotional
(D) Truculent
(E) Cantankerous
(F) Poetic
(B) and (C)
(C) and (F)
(A) and (E)
(A) and (D)
(D) and (E)
As the sentence speaks about fighting, it gives a sense that after drinking that person becomes irritable. 'Quiet', 'polite' and 'poetic' are positive words and are misfits in this context.
'Truculent' means quick to argue or pick a fight. 'Cantankerous' means bad tempered and argumentative.

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (5). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.
He has been (1)/ an orphan ever since(2)/ his parents died(3)/ to the car accident.(4)/No error. (5)
The phrase 'to the car accident' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'in the car accident'. The wrong preposition is used in the sentence. 'To' is used to express motion in the direction of a particular location, and the parents were not consciously moving to the location to be in a car accident.
Which of the following phrases (1), (2), (3), (4) given below in the statement should replace the phrase printed in bold in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and 'No Correction is required', mark (5) as the answer.
The weather today is worst than yesterday's, but not as bad as that of day before yesterday.
worst then
worse than
bad than
more bad than
The word used in the sentence is 'bad' in the comparative form, which is 'worse' and in this context should be used as 'worse than' because the weather is being compared to yesterday's weather. All the other options do not fit in the context.
The police cars chased the robbers on the street.
chased the robbers by
chased the robbers among
chased the robbers in
chased the robbers down
'Chase down' is an idiom which means 'to track someone down and seize someone or something'. All the other options are not phrasal verbs and do not fit in the context in any way, thus, are ruled out.
The author's reasons ————- his argument that the new foreign policy would not be very successful.
(A) Buttressed
(B) Opined
(C) Humoured
(D) Fortified
(E) Discussed
(F) Focussed
'Buttressed' and 'fortified' are synonyms. It means to strengthen. These words complete the sentence in the most appropriate manner. The other words do not make much sense.
The star's ———– speech at his mentor's funeral was so insincere that most of the guests rolled their eyes.
(A) Judgemental
(B) Mawkish
(D) Believable
(E) Genuine
(F) Profound
The 'rolling of eyes' is used to indicate the frustration or annoyance with the stupidity of a person or thing. It is used to convey disapproval. 'Believable', 'profound' and 'genuine' are synonymous and such a speech cannot be 'insincere'.
'Mawkish' and 'overemotional', on the other hand refer to the quality of being sentimental in a false or exaggerated manner. Hence, here these two words complete the sentence most appropriately.
The book was interesting then the movie.
'As' and 'like' are adverbs used in comparison. They can fit in the given sentence but will change the whole meaning of the sentence. 'Than' is the right word for this case as 'then' is not grammatically correct.
Some feminists complain about ————- between men and women in the workplace.
(A) Segregation
(B) Formality
(C) Cordiality
(D) Disintegration
(E) Discrimination
(F) Amiability
The sentence talks about 'feminists' i.e. people who believe in equality between men and women, complaining about something. Thus: formality, cordiality (friendly attitude), amiability are irrelevant. 'Disintegration' which refers to falling apart in pieces is also not appropriate here.
'Segregation' and 'discrimination' which mean 'differentiating between' complete the sentence in the most suitable manner.
He was told to look up at the word in the dictionary.
The sentence talks about finding a word in the dictionary. 'Look up to' means having a great deal of respect for someone. This clearly does not fit in the context. 'Looking at' does not apply as the word is being searched and not already found. 'Look down' has a totally different meaning so it is ruled out. 'Look up' means seeking something which is completely correct in this case. Thus, 'look up' is the answer.
Que. 10
George bought cupcakes that were more good than any he had eaten.
Since the comparative degree of 'good' is 'better', it is the right option without considering any other option because they are grammatically incorrect, according to the given word.

A glorious new production of 'The Judas Kiss' runs through mid-June at the Brooklyn Academy of Music

When David Hare's play The Judas Kiss— about the tragedy of gay icon Oscar Wilde and his passionate love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas (a.k.a. "Bosie") that landed him in prison, destroyed his health, shredded his reputation as England's greatest living playwright and hastened his early death at age 46—first opened on Broadway in 1998, it was massacred by the critics, and so was its miscast star, Liam Neeson. But now the play has ripened with age, and in a glorious new production imported from England and starring Rupert Everett, it is one of the season's triumphs. It's at the atmospheric Harvey Theatre at the Brooklyn Academy of Music through June 12. Don't miss it.
The play is divided into two separate periods in Wilde's turbulent life. The first half is set in London's Cadogan Hotel after the collapse of Wilde's ill-advised libel suit against the vindictive Marquess of Queensberry (Bosie's crazy father) for publicly calling him a pervert and a sodomite. The case tanked when the defendant's attorneys rounded up a group of rent boys who agreed to denounce Wilde as a sexual playmate for a proper sum. The case was dropped, but the damage was done. The court convicted Wilde on charges of gross indecency and, to his horror, sentenced him to prison. While Bosie (played with proper degrees of sexual insinuation, annoying snobbery and aristocratic hypocrisy by Charlie Rowe) taunts him for "surrendering to the jaws of defeat," Wilde's loyal friend and ex-lover Robbie Ross (an excellent Cal MacAninch) packs his bags, cashes a check for him and hires a cab to whisk him off to the station to catch the last train for the ferry to France. Historians and dramaturges have puzzled for years over Wilde's refusal to save himself from ruin, and David Hare says he's been plagued by both the wit and torture of one of the world's most popular and accomplished playwrights since he was 10 years old. The reason for Wilde's self-destruction, he concurs in this play, was sacrificial love. And there was another paradoxical character flaw that is wonderfully dramatized in The Judas Kiss—despite the brilliance and analytical mind on display in comedies of manners like The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windermere's Fan, Oscar Wilde was also a childlike romantic, immune to the crass vulgarities of the average man that often led him down paths of self-destruction. With the London police marching toward the Cadogan to snap on the handcuffs, Wilde ignored the pleas of his friends to escape in haste, ordering instead a lavish meal of lobster and Dauphinois potatoes smothered in sauce and perusing the reading material Robbie had packed for his journey into safe exile in France. ("Dickens? Egad!") "I shall not run down the hole they have dug for me," he says arrogantly, convinced that his inevitable date with disaster is a figment of some fictional character's insolent imagination. Imperious to the end.
In Act Two the action moves to a shabby hotel near Naples after Wilde has served two punishing years in prison at hard labor. Sick, broken and penniless, he spends his last franc to reunite with the irascible Bosie against the advice of his friends and family, including Wilde's disgraced wife Constance, who threatens to divorce him unless he rejects Bosie once and for all. Instead of offering sympathy or moral support, Bosie pouts, whines about how he is as much a victim as Wilde and romps naked with a luxuriously nude Italian fisherman he has picked up in the village. As a final straw, Bosie announces that his mother has paid him a handsome sum to leave Wilde forever and, for a penultimate insult, infers that his homosexuality was perhaps always a deception. Betrayed to the end, his legacy diminished, Wilde still manages to deliver one final kiss to his obnoxious, beloved Bosie, providing the play with the Biblical reference in its title. Amazing, isn't it, how time changes everything? Oscar Wilde now has a cult following, his films and plays never age (how many times have you seen The Picture of Dorian Gray?) and he's constantly being revived on some stage somewhere. The Cadogan Hotel in London, where he was arrested, is now a tourist attraction, and the once-shabby hotel in Paris where he died is now a boutique charmer called, simply, L'Hotel. It is booked months in advance. When I stayed there, in the tiny suite where he lived that has been preserved just the way he left it, Ava Gardner was in the bar sipping cognac.
The Judas Kiss is a sensitive character study of a brilliant but damaged artist, directed astutely by Australia's Neil Armfield, acted by a superb cast and grounded with swells of special compassion by Rupert Everett, in the most human and deeply moving performance of his career. At 57, he is no longer the lithe, youthful and glamorous matinee-idol of his early films, but he has matured and thickened into the kind of spellbinding theatrical centerpiece who can control an audience's emotions even when he is seated, sated and exhausted. For whole stretches at a time in The Judas Kiss, you feel like you are spending quality time with Oscar Wilde himself. Liam Neeson was all wrong physically in the original Broadway production, but Mr. Everett is almost as perfect as Stephen Fry was in the film Wilde—close to the man once described as a "big, soft walrus."

I have audiobooks ripped from cd. I have made a mp3 file for each disk.
I am sure that these audiobooks played on some older sandisk player, which does not live any more.
On two newer ones e.g. SanDisc Clip Sport, the length is not recognized.
E.g. for a file for which Windows correctly displays 1:01 h and which Windows Media Player also displays 1:01 length and plays the full length Clipsport only displays about 3:30 min. It continues to play after this point but if you interrupt playback, there is no way to go back to the point of interruption, you have to start anew.
Make sure the mp3 file is ripped with a constant bit rate. Variable bit rate files can cause problems for some players with less powerful processors. Also although it might seem counter intuitive re-ripping the mp3 file through a different programme can sometimes sort out problems. If it's for Audiobooks this double processing shouldn't be a problem with quality.

* New PM says Sri Lanka parliament will be reconvened on the 5th
Thu, Nov 1, 2018, 11:30 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 01, Colombo: Sri Lanka's newly appointed Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa says it has been decided to reconvene the prorogued parliament on the 5th of this month.
Prime Minister Rajapaksa has said that President Maithripala Sirisena had informed him of the decision.
The President has come under increasing pressure from the civil societies and legislators as well as the international community to reconvene the parliament. The President without consulting the Speaker prorogued the parliament on October 27 until November 16.


Thorpe Park is probably the second most famous amusement park in England, after Alton Towers. My work's social team did a trip there today. I've never been on a rollercoaster, so I was quite excited about this.
I started with a ride called Tidal Wave, where you sit in a boat and it climbs several stories high and then zooms down a ramp into a pool, spraying out a huge plume of water. It was perishingly cold today, and I wore light clothing. I hoped that the water would spray out from the boat, leaving the occupant relatively dry, but I put on my pink poncho just in case. I was promptly mocked by the ride attendant.
You can't really see it here, but the boat has just come down on the left of the shot. The wave is going over the roof of the shed on the right. It turns out that you get absolutely soaked on the boat. There was water sloshing around in my shoes and my jeans were drenched too. That was a genius move, first thing on a cold day.
I then went to a ride called Stealth. It's a rollercoaster, and it's quite short so I thought it wouldn't be too bad. Then I got to the start, and there was a woman doubled over, doing a series of power chunders. That's a clue about the ride, for the observant. The observant should also look where they're stepping.
Stealth starts flat and rockets from 0 to 80 mph in 2.3 seconds.
It then climbs straight up and drops straight down, all very fast. It occurred to me, just after take-off, that I wanted to get off that ride more than I've ever wanted anything in my life.
Next, I headed to Colossus, which is probably the most famous ride at the park. It is allegedly the first 10-twist rollercoaster in the world.
Colossus was more fun than Stealth, which was just terrifying.
The queue was about 1.5 hours. I had a special ticket that skips me to the front of the queue, but after Stealth, the idea of spending 90 minutes not riding seemed like a good option.
While queueing, one of the nearby kids mocked me for wearing a pink poncho. Damn kids.
I then did a ride called Zodiac. It starts with a bunch of cages in a circle that spin until the cetripetal force is pulling the cages straight out, and then the whole things rises on a hydraulic arm so you end up spinning vertically instead of horizontally.
If you look closely, you can see all the vomit gathering in a pulsating sphere at the centre of rotation, like the birth of a carroty star. You do NOT want to be in the bottom cage when this ride stops.
I also did a few of the minor rides: Flying Fish, Loggers Leap, Depth Charge, and the surprisingly violent teacup ride. How is it that I got more tonged around in the teacup ride than in something called Depth Charge?
I skipped a couple of the major rides because my weak neck was getting pretty sore at this point.
So that was a pretty good day out, and all things considered I look forward to never going back.
Thanks for the comment. I was hoping to visit Spain this year for a bike tour, but now I think it'll have to wait until next year. There's so much to see in Europe!


Energy Networks Australia and the Australian Energy Market Operator are seeking to engage the public in consultation on how to best integrate solar and energy storage into electricity networks.
The Open Energy Networks Consultation Paper proposes options for improving the electricity system to ensure household solar and storage work in harmony and deliver the most value for all customers.
Energy Networks Australia CEO Andrew Dillon said the consultation built on the work of the joint CSIRO-Energy Networks Australia Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap, released in 2017.
"The huge uptake of rooftop solar systems and the increasing growth of both household batteries and electric vehicles poses great opportunity but also significant technical challenges for the distribution and transmission of electricity," he said.
"This is changing how our energy system has been designed to work for more than a century – from a centralised one-way flow of electricity to consumer, to a decentralised system where many households feed power back into the grid.
"Until now, our distribution networks have done a remarkable job as a sponge, soaking up all this solar generation and managing the growing two-way flows.
Mr Dillon said effective management or 'optimisation' of a decentralised energy system would not only support its safe and reliable integration into the grid, but also unlock the true value of customer investment in these resources.
"If no action is taken, it will be bad news for everyone, especially consumers," Mr Dillon said.
"Electricity quality may degrade, with volatile voltage reducing the lifespan of appliances, investment in solar or batteries may take longer to repay as customers are constrained in the amount of electricity they can put back into the grid, or they may not even be allowed to connect a new rooftop system if their local area is saturated.
Mr Dillon said there were significant financial benefits to be gained from optimising solar and storage resources.
"The Roadmap identified that getting this optimisation right could avoid some $14 billion worth of investment and ultimately lower household electricity bills by more than $400 a year," he said.

«Один лягушачий вечер» () — американский короткометражный мультфильм 1955 года из серии Merrie Melodies. Режиссёр — Чак Джонс. Мультфильм, частично вдохновлённый фильмом 1944 года «Однажды» с Кэри Грантом в главной роли, повествующем о танцующей гусенице в коробке, знаменует дебют персонажа Мичигана Джей Фрога. В «Одном лягушачьем вечере» использовано множество популярных песен, а также оперная ария Фигаро из оперы «Севильский цирюльник». Премьера состоялась 31 декабря 1955 года.

Сюжет
В середине 1950-х усатый строитель находит коробку внутри краеугольного камня. Внутри находится документ, датированный 16 апреля 1892 года. Также внутри оказывается поющий и танцующий лягушонок с маленьким цилиндром и тросточкой. Внезапно он исполняет незнакомцу музыкальный номер. Строителю приходит идея заработать, привлекая зрителей необычным певцом. Однако, лягушонок поёт только тогда, когда находится с ним наедине, в компании других людей он только квакает. Строитель пытается показать его начальнику агентства талантов, а затем, взяв театр в аренду, устраивает представление. Все попытки оканчиваются его полным провалом. Обедневшему строителю пришлось жить на скамейке в парке, а лягушонок по-прежнему поёт лишь для него. Его пение слышит полицейский и предъявляет строителю обвинение в нарушении общественного порядка. Тот пытается доказать, что пел лягушонок, но оказывается задержан и отправлен в психиатрическую клинику вместе со своей поющей амфибией. Позже, выйдя из клиники, бездомный и вконец отчаявшийся строитель кладёт лягушонка в коробку и, бросив его туда же, где когда-то его нашёл, бежит прочь. Затем действие переносится в 2056 год, проходит 101 год с момента выхода мультфильма. Рабочий XXI века, с помощью футуристического лазера сносит старое здание и, найдя лягушку в коробке, так же, как и свой несчастный предшественник, уносит её с целью разбогатеть.

В популярной культуре
 Мичиган Джей Фрог несколько раз появлялся в мультсериале «Приключения мультяшек» и в одном эпизоде «Озорных анимашек»; у него было камео в фильмах «Кто подставил Кролика Роджера» (несмотря на то, что действие фильма происходит за 8 лет до выхода мультфильма на экраны, в 1947 году).

Список песен
 «Hello! Ma Baby» (1899)
 «The Michigan Rag» (написан специально для мультфильма)
 «Come Back to Éireann» (1866)
 «I'm Just Wild About Harry» (1921)
 «Throw Him Down, McCloskey» (1890)
 «The Michigan Rag», реприза
 «Won't You Come Over To My House» (1906)
 Ария Фигаро (1816)
 «Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone» (1930)
 «Hello! Ma Baby», реприза

Интересные факты
 Изначально у лягушки не было имени, но после выхода мультфильма Чак Джонс стал называть его Мичиган Фрог. Сам Чак Джонс утверждал, что дал персонажу такое имя в 1970-х. Во время интервью с писателем Джеем Коксом, Джонс решил сделать «Джей» вторым именем Фрога, в честь Кокса.
