Movie Celebrates Chess Teaching
November 20, 2019 Clubs, FilmStefan Löffler
What do the actors Kevin Kline, Samuel Jackson, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Larry David have in common? All of them have played chess teachers on the big screen. This impressive cast is now joined by Gérard Dépardieu who excels in the French production Fahim. The movie has beenreleased in the German speaking area and Belgium will come to a few more countries in 2020. It has not found a UK distributor in spite of parallels with the recent story of Shreyas Royal, whose outstanding chess talent secured his family a permit to stay in the UK. Thanks to a grant from Chess in Schools and Communities and the production company Waiting for Cinéma, we have secured two special screenings during the London Chess Conference at a cinema hall, which is less than five minutes away.
Everybody who makes a living as a chess teacher or coach should see Fahim. It tells the true story of a boy who escapes from Bangladesh with his father, partly because of the politically active father fearing persecution, partly for the talented kid to find a grandmaster to train him. They arrive in France, and while the procedures for asylum are going down the drain, the boy connects with a local chess club. A grandmaster they don´t find there, but they find Sylvain, a slightly misanthropic chess fanatic who trains a few local kids and immediately recognizes the enormous talent that just walked through his door.
Trailer in French with English subtitles
Sylvain is based on the junior coach Xavier Parmentier who did not live to see Dépardieu as himself, as he died from a brain tumour in 2016. The real Fahim Mohammad represented France in international youth competitions and is now a university student. It is not the fault of the movie makers that some online synopses claim that Fahim became world junior champion. Chess is represented correctly except for the excusable laying down of the king as resignation instead of the usual handshake. The world of junior chess is depicted amiably, and the French Federation is getting an image boost. The well-written movie, based on the book Le Roi Clandestin (2014), has humorous moments as well as the right dose of suspense. Our conference night this year will be a movie night. Join in!

"While Chess Brightens up Life, Women Brighten up Chess"
October 10, 2019 Clubs, History, WomenStefan Löffler
The lower pick-up-rate of chess by women and the male dominance in competitions have been a matter of discussion since ages. Many commentators treat the topic with galantry as has Savielly Tartakower in the above quote. It is taken from an impressive collection of statements, arguments and clippings that were excerpted by Edward Winter, the eminent chess historian, and span from the 19th century to the present day.
Apart from the male dominance among the commentators one can also observe that the disregard of chess by women is rationalized. Places and social circles where chess is played are not welcoming for women. On the other hand "Lasker´s Chess Magazine" warns in 1906 that the creation "of ladies' chess clubs is a means of perpetuating mediocrity among its members."
It has often been asserted that women lack the recklessness and ambition required to succeed on the board. Hermann von Gottschall, the Deutsche Schachzeitung´s editor, argued in 1893 that the typical female tendency for intrigues should empower their play. In the same light hearted fashion he went on to claim that their preference for light chatter should not at all hinder women, because in the usual café or club game talking takes precedence over the actual moves.
Von Gottschall wrote for a nearly exclusively male audience, as did so many after him. More recently, explaining the male dominance in chess has become a minefield, and that can also be established from Winter´s collection (which also contains the above photo from a book on the German Chess Congress 1905 showing an actress performing Caissa in the opera "The Royal Middy", which features a notorious checkmating trick).
With only Competitive Chess We Remain Weak
December 21, 2018 Chess and Society, Chess in Schools, Clubs, Community, Competition, Inclusion, Social projects, Strategy, VideoStefan Löffler
France is the must-watch-country for all chess federations. Bachar Kouatly has devised an exciting turnaround of the French Chess Federation (FFE) to "a broad direction, a transversal direction, not only a narrow focus on competitive chess. Without it, the federation doesn't exist, but with only competitive chess we remain weak."
Chess is now helping to improve social cohesion and inclusion, explained Kouatly in his remarkable presentation: "We are a tool in the public policy in France." The prime example is an agreement with the Ministry of Justice´s Department for Youth Protection. Adolescents at the brink of prison can now learn and play chess. The Ministry is paying the chess teachers and club membership fees.
When Kouatly was elected as Federation President two years ago, Jean-Michel Blanquer was one of his election team. Blanquer has since become Minister of Education and is opening doors for chess in France. The Federation has signed agreements with the national associations of sport in primary schools (USEP), sport in secondary schools (UNSS) and with French schools outside of France (AEFE).
An important meeting with the latter prevented Johanna Basti from coming to the London Conference. She negotiated the contracts with the national institutions on behalf of the Federation and is a member of the new Education Commission of the European Chess Union. Blanquer and Basti believe in the social potential of chess but are not rooted in competitive chess. In the past, the French Federation had been run by school teachers who, perhaps paradoxically, were oriented to competition rather than education. Their commitment to the conventional implementation of chess left no room to develop chess more widely within society.
Bachar Kouatly, who was the first Grandmaster in France and is a successful technology entrepreneur, appealed to chess federations everywhere to bring in more people from the outside: "If you are able to bring other people with fresh blood and fresh ideas who will put you out, it means you succeeded!"
National Mind Sports Centre
December 2, 2016 Chess and Society, Clubs, GamesJohn Foley
Plans are afoot to establish a National Mind Sports Centre where chess and Go and other strategy board games can be played. The project is a joint venture between the English Chess Federation and the British Go Association. It has long been desired to find a place to play league games and competitions and to hold gaming events. Teaching and training would be part of the mix to encourage the next generation into the boardgame realm.
The latest initiative arose from Go player T Mark Hall who left a substantial legacy for the establishment of a centre in London. He fondly remembered the place where he played go as a youngster and wanted others to revive the concept. We are all familiar with the problem of finding a space for community activities. Pubs and church halls serve the purpose but are not ideal.
The original National Chess Centre was in the John Lewis department store in Oxford Street. John Spedan Lewis was a devotee of the game. Unfortunately the Centre was bombed during WW2. After the war, a number of coffee houses, such as the Prompt Corner in Hampstead, open from 10-midnight, kept the spirit alive. It was popular with intellectuals such as George Orwell and European emigrés but eventually all these unique places disappeared.
A recent trend is the rise of board game cafés in which patrons pay a board fee and are expected to buy some drinks and maybe a meal. These are popular with young adults who are to be found socialising in fashionable places like DraughtsLondon in Shoreditch.
Casual Chess Cafe London
Chess and Go have traditionally been played in relative silence, certainly at the higher levels. This factor has made it more difficult to find suitable venues and to attract people to clubs. Bridge, being an inherently social game, does not suffer the same problem. The Casual Chess Club which is held daily in the BFI bar off Tottenham Court Road shows that playing chess in a bar with chatter and music in the background are not always incompatible. There is scope for more than one type of playing area within a venue.
The latest plan is to concentrate all the activities related to mind sports into one place and to combine flexible game playing spaces with in a cafe and a merchandising outlet. The revenues generated from the commercial activities will help to defray the cost of the game activities. Fundamental to this plan is the acquisition of a property which will cost at least £3 million. There are many issues to be resolved regarding funding options, corporate structure and charitable status.
Amanda Ross, who runs the Casual Chess Cafe, has been commissioned to conduct a feasibility study on the National Mind Sports Centre. She will outline her current thinking in a presentation at the London Chess Conference on Monday 12th December 2pm – 4pm. This session is open to all and does not require registration at the conference. Please come along if you would like to share your ideas and enthusiasm about how to achieve this laudable objective.
Pub chess – recapturing a tradition
October 9, 2015 Clubs, CommunityJohn Foley
The most common place to play chess in England is in a pub. This is not because pub regulars decide to take up the noble game. It is because most clubs hold their league matches in a pub. Typically they will occupy a dingy room upstairs, the landlord glad of a little extra custom. The clubs usually have little choice as to where to play.
We should of course welcome chess in pubs. The informality of the surroundings promotes social interaction. Other members of the public can observe chess being played expertly with clocks. Many people approach the boards to watch and often enquire about getting involved. Pubs bring chess out into the wider community.
A drunken knight
The Kings Head pub in Bayswater, west London lent its name to a famous chess club. The aptly titled Drunken Knights club plays in the Plough near the British Museum. My local club in Kingston-upon-Thames plays at the Druids Head pub in the historic market square. We are not alone in our quest. A board games club meets there as does the local Philosophy discussion society. Pubs are the new community centres. They need us because they are losing custom to drink-at-home, pay-TV lifestyles.
Clubs are moving to pubs not just from choice but because there has been a shift in community infrastructure. The places where clubs once met are rapidly disappearing or have become unaffordable. The other traditional places where clubs met were in church halls, community centres and in workers or veterans clubs. All of these are under threat of closing. The unstoppable economic force is the increasing rent. The population density in London must be amongst the highest in the world and this is driving up the price of space.
There was a time when there were places where members of the public could congregate for convenience or social reasons – promenades, bandstands, station concourses etc. These have virtually all been privatised. Public space owners and councils have leased the space to commercial enterprises. If you sit down anywhere you are expected to buy at least a drink.
Church halls are disappearing along with the churches as the nation becomes more secular and mall shopping has replaced Sunday worship. Working Mens clubs are disappearing as industrial activity dwindles in the 24/7 service economy. Veterans clubs disappear as the memories of war fade. We are instead seeing a boom in new building developments – luxury apartments being the investors' favourite.
Society is always changing and chess must adapt. Gone are the days when a typical chess club might have a hundred members meeting several times a week in a well-furnished community club. Membership of clubs has reduced to a quarter of the level 25 years ago. The lower level of membership cannot sustain rental payments any longer. Clubs are moving to pubs because the publican is hoping that the players will buy some beer.
Julian Way and Olga playing as a pair.
This exposes the risk of pub chess: the publican may eventually find that chess players are so engrossed in their chess that they do not buy as many pints as a regular customer. Also some players may feel that alcohol may impair their cognitive processes. The net result is that the economic justification for accepting the chess club is disproved with unfortunate consequences.
There is a depressingly familiar pattern: another event provides more profit for the pub especially around Christmas and New Year. A wedding or birthday event could take priority at any point during the year. Or the landlord comes along and announces an increase of the rent at short notice. Hence there is a phenomenon of pub-hopping as clubs move from one disaffected publican to a fresh one and the process goes through a repeat cycle.
But let's not dwell on the possible downsides. Traditionally pubs are places to relax and spend leisure time of which playing games was a regular element. The factor which makes chess expensive is that chess players like silence. It is the demand for a private room without noise which creates our problems. Hence the answer to our problem is that we need to revert to the social approach to games playing. There must be more tolerance of noise. Players play for fun rather than for glory. Casual games are proving very popular. At Kingston we alternate serious chess nights with casual chess nights. The Casual Chess club meets every day in the British Film Institute café just off Tottenham Court Road and people of all levels turn up to play.
The first law in England which mentioned pubs was in 1495. Its purposes was to restrict the popular games which were distracting men from their duty of practising archery. In England, people have always enjoyed beer and games in the pub and this tradition is going to make a comeback.
Bringing Refugees into Play
September 29, 2015 Clubs, Community, Counselling, RefugeesStefan Löffler
By the end of the year, more than a million refugees who are seeking asylum will have been registered in EU countries. Projects in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have deployed chess as one of the elements assisting the rehabilitation and integration of refugees. One of the features of chess is that it is an international language in itself. People from different coutries can begin to communicate across the board.
One of Germany´s biggest refugee reception centres is located in Munich in the Bayernkaserne. The Münchener Schachstiftung (Munich Chess Foundation) started the initiative in 2011 and then raised support from other foundations. Chess tutors are employed to supervise chess events each Friday where instruction is given to beginners and intermediate players. In another project, a special school for unaccompanied young refugees, Schlau-Schule, ran four classes were run during the last school year. Several of the students had learned the game at the chess meetings in the Bayernkaserne Project supervisor Dijana Dengler of the Münchner Schachstiftung is moved by the memory of how Afghan youngsters started to invite everyone interested to late night chess sessions.
Mustafa is one of the students of the Schlau-Schule for refugees in Munich – and he loves chess a lot.

During the first weeks after they have registered their application, many refugees have little to do. When Niels van der Mark learned about refugee boredom in November 2014, he decided to give chess a try. Together with club mates from Schaakvereniging Doetinchem he started to pay regular visits to the reception centre in the Dutch town near the German border. "We were surprised how many Syrians know chess and play it quite well."
Those who show an interest are also invited to the chess club. Offering tournaments makes little sense, as the refugees are usually just staying for a few weeks. Van der Mark encourages them to join one of the free chess sites on the internet in order to stay in contact with others who keep playing. He has also make some connections with chess clubs in the refugee's new place so that they receive a welcome. Chess can provides a ready-made social network.
Van der Mark is unaware of other Dutch chess clubs that have followed the example of Doetinchem, "because we didn´t make a noise about this", but the local media found out about the project and loved it. Here you can see a TV report (in Dutch)..
Only men and boys joined the chess sessions. As Van der Mark noted "They kept saying that women don´t have a place in war, and they pointed out that what we call queen is in Arabic a vezir – a minister". Some of the Syrian children would move the pieces in a different way. They play a variant called "damen" (a word which means "draughts" in several European languages).
In Sweden, instilling an interest in chess fever has been found to improve the mood of formerly depressed and isolated youth. Ake Drott, a therapist and social worker specialises in unaccompanied young refugees at Steget Verdare (One Step Further), a non-for-profit organisation in Mölndal near Gothenburg. Two years ago he started using chess and has been passing on his lifelong enthusiasm for the game to the young people he is assisting. "Chess works tremendously well: they feel better, they get better at school, they get along better with others. Everything!" says Drott.
Last year Ake and his team leader, Pontus Teiler, participated in a graduate seminar on chess teaching at the University of Malmö. They documented and analyzed their experience which now comes as a basis for a presentation at our conference. Drott, Dengler and Van der Mark will all share their experience in our workshop Chess for Refugees and encourage others to establish projects elsewhere.

The U.S. Federal Reserve Should Be Declared a Currency Manipulator
By Julie Borowski
In the two presidential debates that focused heavily on the economy, there was not a single mention of the Federal Reserve. This is clearly worrisome since the U.S. central bank has a huge impact on the economy. With the Federal Reserve largely to blame for the recent financial meltdown and the rapidly declining value of the U.S. dollar, this is an important economic issue that the presidential candidates should be addressing.
However, Mitt Romney seems to focus more on China's currency than the U.S. dollar. During last Tuesday's presidential debate, he pledged to declare China a "currency manipulator."
On Day 1, I will label China a currency manipulator, which will allow me as president to be able to put in place, if necessary, tariffs where I believe that they are taking unfair advantage of our manufacturers.
The extent of the yuan's misalignment is unclear but the value of Chinese currency has not significantly affected the U.S. economy. Simply put, foreign trade is not to blame for our economic woes.
Retaliation aimed at the value of Chinese currency will likely create more problems than it solves. Mitt Romney's proposed tariffs on Chinese goods will hurt consumers and could trigger an unnecessary trade war. Taxes are tariffs that will ultimately get passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for goods. The last thing we need is policies that would hurt struggling families trying to make ends meet during these tough economic times.
With China being one of the United States' largest trading partners, a trade war would do immense damage to the U.S. economy. If China retaliates by buying goods from elsewhere, American exporters will be hurt in the process.
And don't forget that China holds nearly $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasury debt.
"The party that loses the most in a trade war is the one that has a big deficit. We have a big dependency on China," said Axel Merk, president of Merk Mutual Funds, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based money manager specializing in currency investments.
Romney would be wise to focus more on the value of the U.S. dollar. It's more than a little hypocritical to say that China needs to be punished for keeping the value of the yuan artificially low when the Federal Reserve is devaluing the dollar through numerous quantitative easing programs. As my colleague Dean Clancy writes on his Twitter page:
The dollar has lost over 95 percent of its purchasing power since the Fed was created in 1913. It's time to take a hard look in the mirror and realize that U.S. Federal Reserve needs to stop devaluing the dollar before it's too late.

The Fed must be audited. I retired from a Federal Government Agency in March 2011, and I saw so much waste that it was beyond belief. They say "don't fix what isn't broken," well in the Federal Government they fix everything broken or not.
Dorothy Whalen
Anyone in this country knows there is a tremendous problem with banking, interest, loans and manipulation, still we are in control, and will take care of 'that' very important problem when the Man who knows about profit and loss, interest for our people not foreign countries, takes over. That is just one of Gov. Romneys qualities, and he will have all of us back on track, economically, as a respected power and as a country who has always had a heart for the down trodden! After the past four years, and we still are surviving, just proves how strong this country was, in 2008! Full speed ahead, R & R!

Hear! Hear! - Time to fully expose the Creature from Jekyll Island and return to sovereign control of America's financial and monetary policies!
That is the way in which George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln directed us (and Andrew Jackson, to boot).
That is the path back to responsible popular sovereignty, the very reason for the United States of America and its national sovereignty.

So, why doesn't this site support Gary E. Johnson since he is for auditing the FED. Romney is financially backed by the banks who are the FED!

Senator Rand Paul Threatens to Delay Fed Confirmations Until Audit the Fed Gets a Vote
A no-brainer issue that should unite practically everyone is auditing the Federal Reserve. Some may find it hard to believe that the central bank of the United States has never been fully audited. The public and even Congress is left in the dark about what goes on behind closed doors at the Fed. This severe lack of transparency is troubling since the central bank has so much power over the economy and our lives.
No Vote on Janet Yellen Until Audit the Fed Gets a Vote
"http:\/\/www.freedomworks.org\/content\/no-vote-janet-yellen-until-audit-fed-gets-vote?social=facebook_share"
As pretty much everyone expected, President Obama's nomination for Federal Reserve chairman is a big-government Keynesian. Many left-wing pundits are applauding the nomination of Janet Yellen, the current Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. She has held many prominent jobs within the Federal Reserve and politics.

"There is no entity in the world that controls our lives more than the Federal Reserve System" - Harry Reid, 1995. While Harry Reid admits the unchecked power of the Federal Reserve, he has failed to act to provide oversight of the central bank. Despite the concentrated power of the Federal Reserve, it has little accountability from Congress or any branch of government.
Marketplace Fairness Act and the Grey Market
"http:\/\/www.freedomworks.org\/content\/marketplace-fairness-act-and-grey-market?social=facebook_share"
BY Mikael Sandstrom
The Marketplace Fairness Act would subject retailers to sales tax audits from 50 different states and tax laws of nearly 10,000 local tax authorities. Proponents of this bill claim that this levels the playing field between internet merchants, such as Ebay or Amazon with brick and mortar retailers like Walmart or Best Buy. Critics point out that it only boosts the tax bill for America's consumers and allows state governments to tax businesses not within their jurisdiction.
Republican Senators that Have NOT Cosponsored Audit the Fed
"http:\/\/www.freedomworks.org\/content\/republican-senators-have-not-cosponsored-audit-fed?social=facebook_share"
Senator Rand Paul has reintroduced legislation to audit the Federal Reserve in the Senate. The bill, S. 209, currently has 24 cosponsors. This legislation is important because the people deserve to know who the Federal Reserve is bailing out behind closed doors.

The debt ceiling debate reached a new level of absurdity when some pundits began tossing around the idea of a $1 trillion coin.

Am using Spring boot to test the rest sample.

A: Does it work with this URL instead ?
http://localhost:8181/cxf/rest

If you just use address="/rest" as your address then you will probably get the default Jetty port 8181 and default CXF servlet path /cxf as the base URL.
If you specifically want to use the URL you have given then try this instead:
address="http://0.0.0.0:8080/rest"

When you have designated an estate gift to Hannibal-LaGrange University, we would like to recognize you during your lifetime. That is why the Hannibal-LaGrange University Steeple Society was created. This special society includes individuals who have made the decision to include HLGU in their estate planning.
Once you have included HLGU in your will, simply complete the form and return it to the HLGU Institutional Advancement Office. If you so desire, a representative will contact you regarding your gift.
Individuals choosing to leave a gift to HLGU will become members of an elite group that will leave a legacy by their continued faithfulness to this institution and our beliefs. Members of the Steeple Society make it possible to bless more students with the opportunity of higher education and an even greater blessing of knowing more about our Saviour.
The bell, prominently displayed on our campus, is a piece of history dating back to the founding of the institution. It was transported to LaGrange, MO prior to the Civil War up the Mississippi on a steamboat. The original function of the bell was to open and dismiss class. Today, the bell is used to celebrate the wedding engagement of students here on campus by being turned up-side down. Because this bell has been an important part of our campus for so many years, we believe it is only fitting to hold it up as a symbol of the legacy that has already been left to us by so many faithful supporters and a reminder of the commitment our devoted Steeple Society has made to our future.

Temple Bright advises on investment company sale
Bristol firm Temple Bright acted for the shareholders of a property investment company on their £8.7m sale to a London-based consortium. The deal was led by partners Tim Summers (corporate) and Justyn McIlhinney (property). City firm Goodman Derrick acted for the buyers.
Nicholas Fox, leading the shareholder team, commented: "I have worked with Tim and Justyn for many years and Temple Bright were the natural choice to advise on this substantial and complex deal. My fellow shareholders and I have been delighted with the quality of their advice, which was always efficient and focused on getting the deal done. They offered us a fixed fee and ensured that the process kept moving at all times. The end result has been fantastic for us and we would not hesitate to use them again."
Justyn McIlhinney commented: "We were pleased to have the opportunity to act in this transaction which involved prime commercial properties in London's West End. The corporate structure of the sale threw up some interesting angles and it was great to see the deal completing satisfactorily for both parties."
Tim Summers added: "This was an exciting job for Temple Bright, concluding just before the end of our first year. It involved a complex structure and a number of challenging issues. This is an excellent example of the kind of work for which Temple Bright's business model has been created. By using senior lawyers on all aspects of the deal and relying on technology, we have been able to offer our clients the service they were seeking: commercially focused advice given exclusively by experts, with greater certainty on fees."

Q: My php script sometime write blank data I have a simple script, just count how many click on a link, when the link clicked, a php script read "counter.txt" file for link ID/URL/Label/Count then plus 1 on count, write to "counter.txt", then redirect.
counter.txt :
Label 1|1|http://google.com|1
Label 2|2|http://google.us|1
Label 3|3|http://google.uk|1

link.php :
<?php

//gets the content from "counter.txt"
$filecontent = file_get_contents('counter.txt');

//separates the contents of counter.txt by "\n" (spaces)
$filelines = explode("\n", $filecontent);

$url_array = null;

$new_file_content = "";

//for each $filelines variable, assign it as $fileline and execute code
foreach ($filelines AS $fileline)
{
//separates the contents of $fileline by "|"
    $filelines_exploded = explode("|", $fileline);

    //assigns counter.txt label to a variable
    $label       = $filelines_exploded[0];
    //assigns counter.txt id's to a variable
    $click_id    = $filelines_exploded[1];
    //assigns counter.txt url's to a variable
    $click_url   = $filelines_exploded[2];
    //assigns counter.txt click count to a variable
    $click_count = $filelines_exploded[3];

    if ($_REQUEST["id"] == $click_id)
    {
        //$url_array contains all of the variables in an array
        $url_array = $filelines_exploded;
        //string to rebuild the counter.txt file
        $new_file_content .= $label . "|" . $click_id . "|" . $click_url . "|" . ((int) $click_count + 1);
    }
    else

    {
        $new_file_content .= $fileline;
    }
    //adds a line break when rebuilding the counter.txt
    $new_file_content .= "\n";
}
//file_put_contents to rewrite the file
file_put_contents('counter.txt', trim($new_file_content));
//redirects to the link gathered from the counter.txt file
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header('Location: ' . $url_array[2]);
exit;
?>

Script working but sometime, counter.txt become blank, lost all data, i don't know why, please take a look what wrong with my code.
Thanks/

A: This can happen during a race condition where two visitors click your link at very near the same time, causing the 2nd instance to read your file just as the 1st instance has cleared it out before writing. This results in instance 2 writing a blank file.
For starters, you can make this somewhat less of a problem by using the flag FILE_APPEND in your file_put_contents, such that you're only appending the new click to the end of the file, instead of rewriting entirely.
Next, you could try using PHP's function flock() to try and obtain a write-lock on the file in question. If your script obtains and obeys the flock() file lock, you can prevent the race condition from occurring at the cost of all your threads blocking until they can get their turn at the file.
In my opinion, though ... if you have to start worrying about race conditions like this, you might be ready to move this system over to your database, where you won't have to worry about writing new click rows simultaneously, or worrying about recalculating sumstats simultaneously, and even if you do - it's very easy to lock tables in most database engines (where as sometimes flock() seems to be unreliable in certain configurations).

28 January 2009 - Salt Lake City
(This commentary is one in a series of brief summaries written in 2005 for the 200-year commemoration of Joseph Smith's birth. Drawing from Joseph Smith's writings and teachings, these summaries, though far from comprehensive, provide a brief overview of Joseph Smith's ideas and beliefs relating to theological, religious and social topics.)
Community life is by definition a life of cooperation and responsibility. Private life and public life, without the disciplines of community interest, necessarily gravitate toward competition and exploitation.
Wendell Berry [1]
Throughout earth's history, humans have always organized themselves into communities of one kind or another. Joseph Smith understood that communities not only provide essential protection from danger, access to vital resources, and opportunities to develop human potential but also help define the core values and central identity of their respective members.
Creating an ideal earthly society was, for Joseph Smith, "the most important temporal object in view" [2] of the Latter-day Saints during his eventful 14-year ministry. "That same sociality," he said, "which exists among us here [in mortality] will exist among us there [in the afterlife], only it will be coupled with eternal glory." [3]
Although his lofty social ideals were not fully realized during his lifetime, community building was one of the central enterprises of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its first century.
From 1830 to 1930, Latter-day Saints founded more than 700 separate settlements. Adapted for their own application was the term "Zion," which originally referred to the ancient City of Holiness, founded by the Old Testament patriarch Enoch, whose residents "were of one heart and mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them.
The Church had two overriding objectives for establishing Zion on earth: to create a setting in which the divine potential of mankind could be realized, and to prepare the earth and its inhabitants for the second coming of Jesus Christ and the millennial kingdom of God.
Supporting these spiritual objectives was an array of social programs designed to inspire residents to replace the individualistic, materialistic, competitive and commodifying tendencies of secular society with cooperation, humanitarian service, mutual respect, the wise use of resources and other social values central to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In the 1830s, the Church was headquartered in Kirtland, Ohio, numbering only a few thousand members. Though the Church was struggling to survive organizationally, demographically and financially, Joseph Smith nonetheless instituted a program called "the bishop's storehouse" that enabled the Church to redistribute material resources donated by generous Latter-day Saints to those in greater need. This was the small but auspicious beginning of the Church's worldwide humanitarian and welfare enterprises.
At the same time, he instituted an adult education program — one of the nation's first. Church leaders and members received instruction in a variety of subjects that helped them with their daily lives, family duties and Church responsibilities. From this initial school, held in a 10-by-12-foot room in the Newel K. Whitney store, grew the Church's vast program of educating its members in religious, professional and practical subjects.
In addition, Latter-day Saint congregations from the beginning have implemented a concept of worship that includes not only formal Sabbath day services but also community service, recreational and social activities, personal and family study and physical education. Thus the whole soul, of itself and in relation to others, becomes the object of lifelong improvement.
Latter-day Saints believe that any society established on these principles of community life will result in happiness, unity, prosperity and peace.

REALTIME DATA VISUALIZATION
Client / commissioned by: V2_
Pulse is a live-visualization of recent emotional expressions, written on private weblogs hosted at wordpress.com. Weblog entries are compared to a list of emotions, which refers to Robert Plutchik's seminal book Psychoevolutionary Theory of Emotion published in 1980. Plutchik describes eight basic human emotions in his book: joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation. He developed a diagram in which these eight emotions, together with their weakened and amplified counterparts, form a three dimensional cone, consisting of 24 areas. The cone is the basic form of pulse, which can enlarge in the 24 directions of the different emotions. Each time an emotion tag, or a synonym of it, is found in a recent blog entry, the shape-shifting object transforms itself in such a way that the new volume represents a piece of the overall current emotional condition of surfers on the Internet.

Beautiful voice and extraordinary piano playing combined with a stunning appearance
Karsu is a multi-talent born in Amsterdam (1990). The Dutch musician with Turkish roots is not only a singer and piano-player, but also a composer, arranger and lyricist. At the age of 7 she gets her own piano and immediately starts taking lessons. It doesn't take long before she masters classical pieces of Chopin, Mozart and Bach, which she plays in addition to traditional Turkish songs and modern jazz songs.
In 2012 Karsu released her debutalbum 'Confession'. After this release Karsu had a theatre tour in Holland, Belgium, Germany and Turkey and played many concerts worldwide. 'Confession', is a delight for those who like jazzy/poppy sounds. Like on her first live recording CD 'Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ' Karsu mixes jazz, blues, funk and ethnic influences.
Concertgebouw Amsterdam, opening Holland Festival (2015), North Sea Jazz Festival (2010 & 2013), Istanbul & Akbank Jazz Festival and Carnegie Hall New York, are on her concert lists. In 2012 a documentary about her live was broadcasted at the IDFA, 'Karsu, I hide a secret', which still can be seen at many countries.

Thumbnail

      A reduced size image.

Basics

Importing the Thumbnail component:

{
`// Import with local scoped class names (via CSS Modules)
import { Thumbnail } from 'react-foundation-components/lib/thumbnail';

or

// Import with global scoped class names
import { Thumbnail } from 'react-foundation-components/lib/global/thumbnail';`
}

      Thumbnail behaves similar to an img tag.

{
`<Thumbnail

Sevier Co. slammed over homophobic rant: 'We got a queer running for president'
Tameka Brodie
Servier Commissioner Warren Hurst has come under fire after inflammatory remarks that he made at a recent meeting, where he appeared to make derogatory remarks about a gay presidential candidate.
Hurst reportedly took the floor on Oct. 21 to speak about the commission's pending vote on becoming a gun sanctuary city.
"It's time we wake up people, it's time, it's past time," Hurst said.
"We got a queer running for president if that ain't about as ugly as you can get," he said. "Look what we got running for president in the Democratic party. We can go over here to Hoss's jail [Sevier County Sheriff] and get better people out of there than those running for democratic, to be President of the United States."
Many assumed that his remarks were about openly gay Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg. Hurst's comments were met with laughter in the room before he launched into an atypical, white privilege rant.
"I'm not prejudiced, but by golly, a white male in this country has very few rights, and they're getting took more every day," Hurst said. "You'll hear 'em stand on the stage and say, 'Oh, I'm for the poor and the black.' You never heard one of them say 'I believe white people have rights, too.'"
Hurst's statements were later decried on Twitter by his peers. They claimed that his comments "do not reflect the opinion or position of Sevier county administration," according to the Sevier County Twitter account. The city of Sevierville, the county's seat, wrote that its administration rejects "bigotry and prejudice toward any and all persons."

Bryant central air conditioning units are made up of 2 distinct tools connected by tubes and pipes. The condenser is outdoors and is the huge system with the fan and grille on the top. The heater part is within and distributes the cold air through ductwork. Both pieces need power. If your Bryant a/c malfunctions, you can attempt several things before calling us, your local Palmer Heights Bryant dealer or service professional.
If you have these symptoms then your Air Conditioner might have the same issue as this one. And require a new capacitor. Fan not spinning. You can hear an electrical hum. You hear random buzz noise. Leaking or a bulging capacitor. If you ever poke around an AC unit, always power off at the breaker and outdoors switch box!
Your local Palmer Heights heating and cooling dealer will get to your home at the scheduled time of your visit. If the contractor will be late, he or she will call you beforehand to let you know or reschedule. When your dealer gets to your house, he or she will likely want to inspect your existing system to understand the distinct details and situation of your Palmer Heights house. In doing so, your dealer may ask for access to all areas of your house, from spaces to crawl spaces, attics, and so on.
Your Palmer Heights Bryant contractor might ask you numerous concerns about your existing system. You might wish to prepare in advance for these questions. You will also likely be asked concerns about your household's unique heating, cooling and air quality goals and requirements. When the conference has actually ended, if a follow-up conference is required for additional discussions or service, you can expect your dealer to get back in touch with you right away.
Heating and air conditioning equipment is created to last a minimum of 15 to 20 years. If your system is older than this, you might want to have its condition assessed. Changing HVAC equipment is a major expenditure, modern-day systems operate much more efficiently than the older units they change.
A/C specialists specialize in developing and installing the systems of a couple of manufacturers, so no one shop is going to carry every major brand name. Before you worry about the devices, it makes sense to find professionals in your location that are experienced and service oriented.
How much does it cost to change a capacitor in an air conditioner? The expense of changing an air conditioner capacitor may vary depending on the brand name and the features.
Central air-conditioning alone will cost in between $3,000 and $5,500 for a 2,200 square foot home. A main heating furnace expenses in between $2,500 and $8,500.
What does it cost? does it cost to service a HVAC? Palmer Heights A/C specialists generally charge $50-$70 per hour. A single upkeep see takes 1 to 2 hours. Flat charges for maintenance service gos to begin around $70-$100.
How much is the expense of freon? If a coil has to be changed or there is a leak the expense of filling up the refrigerant could be $250 to $750.
Just how much does it cost to recharge an Air Conditioning? The average expense for an AC Recharge is between $200 and $276. Labor costs are approximated in between $123 and $156 while parts are priced between $77 and $120.
Central air conditions will need some professional upkeep, however there are lots of minor problems that you can easily fix yourself. If your central a/c system isn't really working effectively, try to find the problem you're experiencing on this chart and see if it's a diy task.
Typical issues include: condenser does not run, unequal cooling, inadequate cooling, unit does not cool, condenser unit switches on and off repeatedly. Make certain to call us, your regional Palmer Heights Bryant repair business to handle any of these issues. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as cleaning up coils, or cleaning and changing filters. All other operations should be performed by skilled service workers. When working on heating equipment, observe safety measures in literature, on tags, and on labels attached to or shipped with the system, and other security precautions that may apply.
