There were two brothers who had terrorized their small town for decades. They were notoriously unfaithful to their wives, abusive to their children, and habitually dishonest in business dealings. Then the youngest brother died unexpectedly.
"But I'm afraid he was far from that," the minister countered.
So the wealthy brother pulled out his checkbook. "Reverend, I'm prepared to give $100,000 to your church. All I'm asking is that you publicly state that my brother was a saint." A tough choice for a pragmatic Pastor!
The Catholic Church had created this idea that some people, saints, were so good and so righteous that they had accumulated more holy points than they really needed to get into heaven. Those excess bonus points — called the Treasury of Merit – were then available for common sinners to draw from to reduce the amount of punishment, or penance, they were required to endure after forgiveness for a sin had been offered by a priest; and/or to lessen the time they might have to spend being purified in Purgatory after they died.
Ordinarily, the sinner would be required to engage in some proscribed prayers, alms, fasting, or some meritorious action in order to acquire the benefits of such an indulgence. By the late 15th century, however, various church leaders (Cardinals, Bishops, Priest) began increasingly abusing the distribution of these indulgences for their own gain.
Documents were created, which were called indulgences, and sold to the poor sinner, at a premium price, which would then guarantee – for himself or a family member – a reduced sentence in Purgatory and (depending on the amount of money paid) perhaps even prime real estate in heaven. And although the official stance of the Vatican at the time was to denounce such abuses, according to some (perhaps cynical) reports the Vatican sent a sales force out to peddle those indulgences and made so much money that they were able to underwrite the building of St. Peter's Cathedral with the proceeds.
Martin Luther had a problem with all that. A big problem.
It was a simple, but at the time, revolutionary idea: "the Christian faith is more about living in gratitude for the gift of God's love in Christ than it is about trying to please God by obeying rules, defending beliefs, practicing rituals, accumulating righteousness, or especially by buying indulgences" (J. Buchanan, Oct. 28, 2001).
According to Martin Luther, the Pope could not confer remittance of sins save only as a representative of God's own mercy toward us all. By the same token, Luther suggested, the devil can turn the heart of any man into a tool for his own evil devises.
Today, pretty much everybody agrees – Protestants and Catholics alike – with Martin Luther's theology of grace: Salvation is God's gracious gift to all of humanity in Jesus Christ, the great and the common alike. You can't earn it. Only gratefully accept it.
And, while the chair of the Stewardship Committee might not mind if I did make a connection between Purgatory and meeting one's annual pledge, indulgences are now a thing of the distant past.
And now, although it took some time, that great old hymn that will be sending us out as disciples empowered at end our worship this morning, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God," (written by Martin Luther) is being sung in Catholic churches, too.
So then, what of the saints?
If they aren't a repository of various merit for the ordinary sinner to draw from to insure his or her salvation, what are we to make of saints?
Even the classic Saints of the Catholic Church were a sort of mixture of the good, the not-so-good, and the – sometimes – very weird.
Take St. Leufredus (c. 738) who apparently had quite a temper; struck bald a woman who made fun of his own baldness, struck toothless a thief who badmouthed him, and struck infertile the fields of a farmer who made the mistake of plowing on Sunday.
And then there was St. Brigid (c. 450 – 525), who was downright loony; hung her wet laundry on sunbeams, once taught a fox to dance, and changed her dirty bath water into beer so that visiting clerics would have something to drink. But at least she bathed!
St. Jerome, it's reported, never took another bath again after his baptism. After all, he had now been bathed in the blood of the lamb. (As I recall my sister had a similar reaction after she shook the hand of singer Davy Jones of the Monkeys).
"No great saint lived without errors," said Martin Luther.
More recently, Mother Teresa, who was canonized into sainthood on September 4, was known to be, at times, rather self-righteous, inflexible, judgmental, prickly, and difficult to love or even get very close to. She had a life-long struggle with doubts, waning faith, and severe depression.
By the time of her death, Mother Teresa's organization had 610 missions in 123 countries, which included hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis; providing soups kitchens, counseling for children and families, countless orphanages and schools.
Mother Teresa was beatified by the Vatican in late 2003, but it still took another 13 years (and the confirmation of a miracle to her intercession) to be recognized as a saint in the eyes of the Church.
But, in the eyes of the millions of people she reached out to, whose lives she changed, Teresa was saint already (long known affectionately as "The Saint of the Gutter"). But she was a saint, not because of some singular supernatural act, but because of her everyday divine acts of compassion.
The measure of one's greatness is contained, not in supernatural abilities, but within one's relationship to and dependence upon God's overarching grace.
Jesus understood well that the only difference between a sinner and a saint was the experience of God's life-changing grace.
Wee Zacchaeus was a peculiar little man. `Short of stature,' Scripture tells us. But he was also diminutive in spirit; short on compassion for others. Had very little respect or social standing. He was roundly despised by his fellow Jews for colluding with Rome and taking advantage of them as chief tax collector. The one thing Zacchaeus had was money. Lots of money.
At some point in his life, however, Zacchaeus apparently discovered, or decided, that that wasn't enough in life. He was looking for something more.
He had heard about this man Jesus who was coming through town; heard about his ability to heal lepers, give sight to the blind, cast out demons. He wanted to see this man for himself, but he was having trouble making his way to the front of the crowd.
Tired of looking at the backs and the bottoms of tunics, wee Zacchaeus forfeits all pride and in near desperation dashes ahead of Jesus and his entourage. Like a school boy, he climbs up a sycamore tree; just in the hope of catching a mere glimpse of Jesus through the branches.
What a shock it must been for this little outcast when the Son of God stops, calls him by name, and invites himself over to the tax collector's house for dinner. While the good church folk grumble about Jesus' overture, Zacchaeus reacts with unbridled joy.
When Diane was a little girl of five years old her mother, Nancy, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. As MS gradually robbed Nancy of her vitality, mobility, and ability to care for her child, Diane's childhood was also being stolen as she increasingly become her mother's caregiver and charged with the household chores.
It was that same time that a saint was consecrated in Diane's young life. The Monger's next door neighbor, Belva Nail, became Diane's saving grace. With three small children of her own, Belva took Diane under her wing as well. She included Diane in family outings to the park, the swimming pool, the hamburger place. Taught Diane how to swim; gave Diane her first bike and taught her how to ride it. As the MS progressed, Belva also took it upon herself to help with Nancy's caretaking, give moral support to Diane's father.
Belva became, for all intense purposes, Diane's surrogate mother; she never made a big deal out of it. She just did it. They both preserved and cherished that relationship until Belva died of Alzheimer's on June 6, 2004.
Saints are those who have intimately, irrevocably tied their lives into the One who gives life abundant and life eternal.
"What sets them apart from us ordinary folk," William Sloane Coffin wrote, "is the literal way they take the central imperatives of the Gospel. Does Jesus command us to feed the hungry? The saints feed the hungry. Does Jesus command us to clothe the naked? The saints clothe the naked. Does Jesus command us to see all we have and give to the poor, to go forth and preach to all nations, to turn the other cheek, to return good for evil, to love God and our neighbors as ourselves? The saints do all these things, because saints believe these commandments mean exactly what they say…Saints are lovestruck, God-intoxicated people…" And that's precisely why they [stir our hearts] so; because they show us what a sinner can become.
I'm sure you've known that kind of saint in your life. They may still be around. Or they may have moved on to join that `church eternal', to become one of the `vast cloud of witnesses'; those who have `fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.' These are those people who have profoundly influenced, shaped, and molded you. People who encouraged you, pushed you, to become more than you ever thought you could be. People who gave you hope, unconditional love, understanding, forgiveness and grace just when you needed it the most; who, perhaps, made significant sacrifices in their own life so that your life could be just a little bit better. People who inspired you through their example of integrity, compassion, courage and faithfulness. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, neighbors, teachers, pastors, Scout leaders, mentors – who, in the course of the ordinary struggles of daily living, did extraordinary things for others. These are the people whom, we can say, measured up well as disciples living in the image of their Lord Jesus Christ.


Day 5 of Lakme Fashion Week was definitely a star-studded event. It started with Vikram Phadnis, who showcased his collection of lengha cholis, sarees and anarkalis.
Although not quite out of the ordinary when taken individually, the pieces were a real treat to the eyes when shown as a collection. It had a striking color palette that was deep and bright. Walking the ramp for Vikram Phandis were Bollywood's hottest sweethearts, Bipasa Basu and Dia Mirza, all dolled up in Desi style.
The items shown on the runway were also practical, which I liked. I guess many Indian designers have begun to realize that in order to survive in this industry, they need to make clothes that appeal and sell to the masses.

If a cruise along the coast of Norway is on your bucket list, there's no better line to sail with than Hurtigruten. Norwegian to the core, it started out as a line that carried people and freight between various ports in Norway, but it has since evolved into a type of cruising hybrid that an increasing number of Americans find downright intriguing.
Although it's one of just four vessels in the Hurtigruten fleet to be built after the turn of the 21st century, Finnmarken is still a working ship, carrying cruisers, cargo, mail, cars, daytripping backpackers and other passengers who might only be onboard for a couple of days (or hours) as they travel between ports along Norway's coast -- both northbound and southbound. There are constant comings and goings, with several port calls taking place in the dead of night, sometimes for as little as 15 minutes until something (or someone) is brought onboard or offloaded.
You won't find a spa to pamper you, a kids club to keep your children occupied or enough entertainment options to make your head spin. (In fact, there are no entertainment options at all.) But a sailing on Finnmarken will leave you feeling like you've explored a fair portion of Norway in elegant surroundings, at a reasonable price, without exhausting yourself. (After all, what's the point of needing a vacation after your vacation?) Food onboard is excellent -- even if the offerings are limited and somewhat repetitive -- and the line's new Coastal Kitchen menu provides a great way to get a taste of fresh, local fare.
You'll pay a hefty sum for a cruise on Finnmarken, and you'll receive fewer onboard bells and whistles for the price. But, overall, the cost is nothing compared to what you'd pay for a land-based stay in Norway, which is one of the priciest countries to visit. If it's a peek at breathtaking scenery you're after, you'll get it in spades, along with exciting cuisine, elegant accommodations and a friendly environment where nearly everyone speaks English.
The passenger mix is an international one, with the largest contingent hailing from Germany, followed by Scandinavia, the Netherlands, the U.K., America, France and Japan. The overall makeup varies by season, however. Because of the cost of cruising with Hurtigruten, passengers are generally affluent, and they fall within the 50-and-older age bracket. We also saw several multigenerational family groups onboard; we found that generally, they were English-speakers with Norwegian roots.
The dress code is casual. There are no sea days on Finnmarken's itinerary, which means much time is spent ashore. Because the weather in Norway can be fickle, even from port to port on the same day, it's best to dress in comfortable layers that make it easy to adjust to varying temperatures and conditions. During the day, that means jeans or other outdoor-appropriate pants or shorts with basic shirts layered under sweatshirts and some sort of outerwear (fleece, windbreaker, etc.). It's also helpful to pack an umbrella or poncho in case of rain, and bring at least one pair of sturdy shoes for exploring in port or going on shore excursions.
All gratuities are included in the cruise fare. You're allowed to tip specific crewmembers at your discretion, but it's neither expected nor encouraged.
Currency on Finnmarken is the Norwegian Kroner (NOK); dollars can be changed into kroner at the reception desk on Deck 3. Purchases onboard can be made with cash or by setting up an onboard expense account backed by cash or a credit card (similar to those used by other cruise lines).

Q: Fazer validação por js com for each
Nesta tela preciso fazer uma validação para que em cada registro, quando o registro tiver permissão, no caso dele estiver marcado me trazer o registro com ele marcado toda vez que editar(marcar ou desmarcar o checkbox).
No caso a melhor forma que achei é usando o foreach no javascript e tenho que validar os casos seguindo exemplo abaixo.
Para cada funcionalidade, ou seja (manter material, solicitar material, enviar relatorios e requisitar material) fazer uma validação para cada ação no caso (visualizar tela, pesquisar, cadastrar, editar, ativar/inativar e solicitar estorno) no caso ficando 24 validações. Estou correta?
Queria um exemplo de como poderia fazer isso da melhor forma possivel.
Já procurei mas não achei algo especifico para resolver o meu problema.
Estou fazendo um projeto em C# em MVC.
Sendo que cada permissao é um identificador diferente e tambem depende de cada perfil escolhido.

A: Bom, como não tem código começado, vou sugerir um.
Validações normalmente são anotadas em Model. Podem ser por atributos ou implementando IValidatableObject. Um exemplo de validação por atributos seria:
public class Perfil
{
    [Key]
    public int PerfilId { get; set; }

    [Required] // Required é um atributo que obriga o usuário
               // a preencher o campo em tela.
    public String Nome { get; set; }
}

Aqui tem mais exemplos de validação por atributos.
Já IValidatableObject te obriga a implementar um método chamado Validate:
    public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
    {
        // Coloque aqui sua lógica para validação.
        // Cada problema de validação deve devolver um objeto do tipo
        // ValidationResult.
    }

Aqui explico melhor como usar.
Feito isso, na View basta adicionar a referência ao jQuery Validation que sua GridView já está pronta para usar validação.

Narrative essay is an essay that revolves around a single motif, or a central point. This personal essay revolves around an my English writing and my handwriting.
My academic life could not have been as it is without adequate English skills, especially in writing. Today I am not only a good learner, but also a great writer. The achievements came to my academic life after a difficult struggle in learning the language, affected by a poor handwriting experience during my first years of studying. Like many other learning problems, complications in my writing were devastating to my education and my self-esteem. I never liked it when other children posed negative comments regarding to my handwriting, backwardness in class work, and poor performance. Most people thought that I had troubles in English, but that was not the case. I simply did not have the ability to put my ideas across through writing. My parents had high expectations on me that, as I progressed through school, I would increasingly have the ability to express what I knew about various subjects through writing. "My teachers have no expectations on me, and they take me as a failure," I thought occasionally. To make my wrongs right, I had to take a different course in writing.
The comforting aspect of my education is that I was good at reading and interpreting content. All the content I had developed in my mind needed to be expressed. I understood that the only way I could prove my intelligence is through writing. Writing was a basic skill, and I had to figure out why teachers insisted on improving personal handwriting. My handwriting was poor and hardly fluent. I mainly failed exams because the teachers could not figure out the ideas presented in my writing. Discovering my failure as a weakness was the first step. I had to accept that I was poor in writing, and all other children had the right to scorn me. This was my turning point.
I decided to work the problem out individually and systematically, since nobody seemed to care about my problem. My parents were only worried, but they were too busy to help. During my homework, I concentrated on the fluency of my writing more than the speed. The two aspects were problems to my writing techniques, and I had to handle them separately. Often, I would try to copy letters as they appeared in typed texts, mostly English writings. This practice consumed much of my time, which I also counted as a loss to my academics. I mainly practiced this during my homework, but occasionally during exams. Instead of revising whatever we had studied in class, I would practice good handwriting. Before I knew it, I had developed to become the best student in terms of handwriting in my class. I hardly noticed that my language had improved significantly as well. My practice involved intensive reading beyond class work, which contributed to the sharpening of my speaking writing skills, specifically in the English language.
The only problem was the speed and class performance in general. I had employed most of my efforts developing my writing such that even during the exams, I would hardly complete my tests trying to make my work smart. Lack of speed was another weakness that needed to be addressed. As I advanced in education, I gained the ideology that writing was a combination of many aspects of language that needed to be interrelated. A good writer needs to be a creative thinker with good analytical skills. I had constructed the basis of ensuring that teachers understood my content in both exams and assignments. I had gradually emerged as the best learner in my class. The other students started liking me with most of them taking me for a role model.
I had to concentrate on something unique that had developed as I struggled to improve my handwriting and other writing skills. My writing skills developed due to my struggle to have a smart handwriting. As I read many different texts, I could figure out different writing ideas and styles that make a good written content. Throughout high school, I was the best writer in the school. I received numerous awards in writing contexts at different levels. I came to understand that anybody could emerge to be strong by concentrating on his or her weakness. This can happen in process of discovering the weakness, accepting it, identifying ways of handling it, and working towards perfecting the weakness. That was how I emerged to become a great writer.

UIC took part in the 7th Eurasia Rail in Istanbul back to eNews Finland: Consultants chosen to study feasibility of Helsinki-Tallinn tunnel
France: SNCF confirms its order of 15 TGVs from Alstom
The SNCF Mobilités Board of Directors met this Thursday, 23 February and was able to approve the order of 15 double-decker Océane TGVs. This order is in addition to an order of 40 Océane TGVs currently being delivered by the same manufacturer. These 15 new trains will be put into service in 2019 and 2020 on the Paris-Bordeaux route.
TGV Océane will now have a fleet of state-of-the art trains with the highest possible capacity (556 seats).
These 15 TGVs will replace older trains, some of which are more than 35 years old. This will allow SNCF to save €150 million, which was set aside for the renovation of 24 existing trains.
The 15 trains will be equipped with a new automatic speed control system, in line with the very latest European standards (ERTMS) currently being developed by ANSALDO on behalf of ALSTOM. This system will naturally have to be approved by the French Railway Safety Authority (EPSF). This is a standard procedure for all new technological innovations.
The first six trains will be delivered in 2019, and the following nine in 2020. As of this time, the old trains will be removed from the TGV Atlantic fleet.

Why EVERYONE has a right to vote
It seems like the most innocuous act.
You walk up to a table, sometimes present an I.D., possibly wait in line for a minute or two, proceed to a booth, pull the curtain closed, view the choices, then cast your ballot. You voted. One of the truly great privileges of a democratic society, and one that far too many still refrain from engaging in.
But it was not always so, especially if you were a woman. Last week, we celebrated the 95th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The amendment, which passed Congress in 1919, was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920. This amendment, so short, is worth repeating here:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
The language is short, direct and perfect, but not without enormous obstacles to bringing it to fruition. Read any history of the suffrage movement in our country for women to gain the right to vote and you will see a record of zeal, idealism, suffering and legislative acumen and stamina by females who fought bravely to gain their right to vote. It began as far back as President Andrew Jackson's administration when, "In 1838, Kentucky authorized women to vote in school elections, and its reforms were later copied by other states. Kansas in 1887 gave women unlimited rights to vote in municipal elections." That culminated in victory 80 years later, according to the Constitutional Center.
In giving thought or thanks for one's right to vote, this is a particularly auspicious time as the electoral process heats up. It is an unthinkable notion that I, as a husband or father, could envision that my wife or daughter (when she is 18) could be prohibited from voting based on their gender. We should forever be thankful to the suffragists and their supporters.
Yet, while I laud the efforts of these brave women, I lament the lack of interest and participation when I examine modern voting statistics. We see that in most elections, across gender lines, more than half of people who are eligible to vote do not. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's Reported Rates of Voting in Congressional Elections: 1978 to 2014, only 48.9 percent of the eligible voters in 1978 cast a ballot, compared with 41.9 percent in 2014. (It is fair to note that voter turnout is generally less in nonpresidential election years). That said, the decline is dismal.
When judged by race, in 2014, White, non-Hispanic votes represented 45.8 percent; Black, non-Hispanic 40.6 percent; followed by Hispanic vote at 27.0 percent.
In 2014, examining the voting trend by gender, 43 percent of women voted, followed by 40.8 percent of men.
It's important to remember that all these percentages reflect registered voters, which raises the alarm that millions of people in our country are potential, unregistered voters.
With the struggle that women and minority groups in particular paid to gain their rightful place in American politics, the obvious remains: Why don't more people vote?
For most, admittedly not all, registering is fairly easy. In New Jersey, when you obtain a driver's license, you can register. Also, it is not difficult to obtain an absentee ballot beforehand, if necessary. Yet even among registered voters, more than half fail to express this direct support of participatory democracy.
I suspect that some potential voters who do not cast ballots feel their vote just does not matter because it does not have an impact. That is a misguided perception. There is an old adage that "bad politicians are elected by good people who choose not to vote". The act of voting is not only an expression of your opinion but demonstrative evidence of your participation and belief in the legislative process. Votes matter, and in the end, they are the glue that hold our democracy together.
It is no accident that whenever we view a country that is struggling to become a true democracy — one in practice, not just in name — a free and unfettered right to vote leads almost all other demands. Those who do not have a vote or one that is unfair understand.
I urge you to vote in every election, large and small. We are all familiar with the refrain, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Voting, my dear friends, contributes to all of these. The women who fought for their right to vote understood this. We should too. That's my take, what's yours?

I realized that my TV viewing time has drastically reduced these last four years or so. I've not kept track but I suspect that my average viewing time has come down to a couple of hours a week and that, mostly on weekends. Though I was never a big TV viewer in any case, this change in habit has been subtle but noticeable.
I used to watch News channels quite a bit especially back in 2008-09 when the 2G scam hit the headlines in a big way and redefined the manner of reporting on mega scams, but now it's come down drastically since I find all the shouting and slanging matches quite tiresome and increasingly boring. I hardly watch any live cricket matches these days due to paucity of time and also the fact that I'm at work on weekdays and otherwise busy on weekends with personal work. I've stopped watching TV serials/soaps too - for reasons too numerous to quote here, but covered in another article. It's another matter that the quality of TV programming has drastically reduced these days, with drab, uncreative reality shows taking prime time slots. I never developed any taste or interest for reality shows and I am glad I didn't bother to. I find that I no longer have the patience to watch movies on TV, since the ad breaks become increasingly annoying and disturbing the flow of the movie. Rarely on weekends I view a movie or two on Hotstar, on the mobile. I watch Cricket highlights only when India is involved, but my overall interest in cricket has come down quite a lot these days.
My next target is to cut down time spent on social media (not that I post much, but I sometimes inadvertently end up browsing a heck of a lot on my Facebook phone app, viewing baby and cat videos, memes and other random funnies, sometimes for hours on end). It is simply mind-numbingly unproductive; a waste of time. Luckily I have BSNL as my service provider, which means that the data speeds are abysmal for watching videos (and I have a limited data plan anyway) and so I watch videos only when at home with the WiFi connection. Just to avoid spending too much time on social media, I don't plan to get a 4G connection with high internet speeds on my phone.
I suspect that these days, social media addiction has replaced TV addiction for a lot of people, and not much has really changed in terms of the actual passive content consumption. I'm hoping to break even my relatively limited addiction to social media and slowly phase it out completely.

Q: Is it possible to have a script search a web page for a price I have just started to learn java script (like last week so I am a noob) and I was just wondering is it possible to have a script search a web page for a certain number or lower and if it finds the number or lower then notify me in a certain way also refresh the page every minute?

A: You may want to look into building extensions for your browser. Chrome for example supports creating extensions with javascript: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted

After Casey Anthony Verdict, State Lawmaker Drafts "Caylee's Law"
Casey Anthony may walk away with little punishment stemming from the strange death of her daughter Caylee after yesterday's stunning verdict, but the case may still have legal repercussions in Florida. State Representative Bill Hager, a Republican from Boca Raton, has announced that he will file a bill dubbed "Caylee's Law" during next year's legislative session. The law would make it a felony for parents or legal guardians not to call police when a child goes missing.
"Placing a law on the books requiring parents and guardians to report missing children who are in significant danger in a timely manner will ensure that parents are held accountable for their actions. It will also assure that we put justice on the side of those among us who are most vulnerable. And finally, it will put an end to the kind of irresponsible and outrageous behavior we observed with Caylee's mother."
Casey Anthony had never reported Caylee missing. Caylee's grandmother first reported that the child was missing 31 days after she had last seen her.
Police agree that in cases of missing children, the immediate hours after the disappearance are the most critical, but police can't do anything if they don't actually know the child is missing.

The Delve war for all intents and purposes has almost ground to a complete halt. Imperium cleanup crews claim towers and only 4 of the 14 conquerable constellations are left before the Imperium can claim complete control over the region. Indeed, the Imperium has also branched out and claimed two systems in the neighbouring region of Querious taking advantage of the collapse of The Querious Fight Club (aka The QFC) to gain a foothold in a second region.
Fighting has been sporadic at best and most have been small in scale averaging out at 1.5bn ISK destroyed and not exceeding more than 3bn ISK in losses. The only notable fight was a battle dubbed as the Mexican Standoff of 8WA. An Imperium capital fleet held station in the 1DQ1-A system against a Test Alliance Please Ignore [TEST] Macherial fleet supported by an Northern Coalition [NC] Cerberus fleet on the other side of the system gate in 8WA-Z6. But it appears the fight was never meant to be. While exact numbers are unknown (as no d-scan exists of the engagement,) what is clear that the Imperium outnumbered TEST and NC together and it appears neither side was willing to jump into the other and commit to the fight. After a long stand off both sides stood down and returned home with only some TEST sabres and a couple of NC caracals having been lost.
While the fight itself was not particularly noteworthy, the drama that followed it was as it appear TEST FC Progodlegend warped his fleet command Loki into the Imperium fleet alone which was caught on this video along with claims that Progodlegend ordered the TEST fleet to safelog before attempting to make his way home. This event spawned four Reddit threads on the topic as the Imperium was keen to capitalise on the propaganda victory.
After last weeks huge gains the Imperium has again slowed its acquisition of systems in despite of the lack of any resistance gaining an additional 9 systems, as highlighted in the sovereignty map below in black circles. but curiously losing R5-MM8 to a 33 man alliance who appear to be regularly harassing Imperium sovereignty holdings in the O5K-Y6 constellation.
I took some time to speak to League of Unaligned Master Pilots [LUMPY] Military Director Atlan Dallocort on his opinion of the conflict to which he replied.
The Goons choose a simple but yet smart strategy. They staged in D-W7FO and only attack systems in their jump-range. Their subcap fleets aren't that much of a problem but they end pretty much every fight with a drop of supercaps before the real fight even starts. When thers is no super fleet commander they just don't take the fight at all and just create a new timer 2 days later. This advancement is pretty hard to counter successfully.
Delve Core are more focused on the south and have been working Period Basis and Querious. With the fall of the Querious Fight Club there is now a power vacuum in the region, the SW Alliances are trying to fill that. The GSF can't move their caps fast enough to disturb the fighting there so there are some good fights happen in that region.
I asked Atlan on his thoughts on the effectiveness of TEST in the area.
Its hard to judge the situation with TEST. Their deployment is seen as critical by some people and I can understand that. But giving goons 'good' content means their fleets won't get smaller and that means they will not be easier to fight. At the moment they mainly hotdrop, reinforce low ADM systems. They aggravate the normal linemember and that isn't bad. Real fights are rare because also TEST can't do much with 200 Machariels against the Imperium supercapital fleet which includes tracking titans and their doomsdays supported by a sizeable subcap fleet.
Just how much blog site web traffic will influence to my blog if I transform my blog name with different domain?
I'm impressed, I have to say. Really not often do I encounter a weblog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've got hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very glad that I stumbled throughout this in my search for something referring to this.

Today, more and more people are seeing the benefits of working from home. In 2017, remote work was the fourth most popular job search term used by people looking for jobs. This is no surprise: Working from home reduces stress, increases family time, saves money on gas and other costs, and eliminates hours of commuting time each week.
We have an entirely remote model, with more than 100 team members working from home. Since many of us still struggle with the challenges on an ongoing basis, we decided to survey our team members to identify their biggest challenges - and their top tips for overcoming them.
Don't work from your kitchen table. Even if you don't have a home office, Rony, one of our team leads, suggests you should "have your own 'office space' to ensure that you can work properly and without distractions." Invest in a comfortable chair and any other ergonomic tools you need. And keep your work space clean and organized, says Martin, one of our team members, so it feels like an actual work space and not just another cluttered counter.
At home, there are so many things to do other than work - you could be doing the dishes, watching your favorite TV show, playing with your kids or taking a nap instead of actually focusing on the job at hand.
So schedule regular breaks, to give your brain a break and allow your mind to wander. If you need to, set an alarm, and stop working when the alarm goes off, no matter how "in the zone" you are. According to one recent study, workers should have a 17-minute break for every 52 consecutive minutes of work. If that's not possible, it's ok, but breaks are critical for your mental health and productivity. Take a walk around the block or, if the weather's bad, do two minutes of jumping jacks in your living room (hey, no one's watching). Call your mom, or a friend who also works from home. Read a good novel. Just make sure your brain has time to relax and recharge.
Family can be distracting as well. Make sure to set guidelines on when it's acceptable to disturb you. If you don't have childcare, prepare snacks ahead of time so your kids won't have to constantly ask you for a sandwich. Chel, another team lead, tells her kids that working remotely still involves doing actual work, and gives them tips on how they can make things a little less stressful for her when she's working.
In the office, the kitchen or the water cooler provides a good excuse to take a break and gather with co-workers. When you work from home, you need to create your own water cooler. Don't let distance keep you from connecting with co-workers.
If your company isn't already on Skype or Slack, tell them to get with the program. Our team members are constantly engaging on Skype, our primary communication tool. We have a chat group for the whole company and others for specific teams or affinity groups. Team members always say "hi" when they get in and let co-workers know when they're going on break.
And don't be afraid to start virtual clubs or affinity groups. One of our senior engagement managers, Frank, founded the Gamers Group for gaming experts, fans, and players within the company.
The biggest challenge of working from home is feeling like the work day never ends. So set two routines – one to wrap up at work, and one to help you feel like you're home. Hannah, our COO, likes to set her priorities and her schedule for the following day, so she doesn't have to spend family time thinking about her to-do list. Jon, our CEO, admits that he likes to have a drink to wind down. Our director of talent, Judy, will completely log off from Skype and go to the nail salon.
Working from home isn't easy – but it doesn't have to be a medical emergency. You can make it work if you get your space right, build breaks and socialization into your day, and set boundaries between work and home. And top it all off with a manicure … or a glass of whiskey. We won't tell.

Flying On A 787 Soon? Install Your Own Stained Glass Window
One cunning entrepreneur has come up with a way to pimp your aircraft during your next flight. Available in a range of sizes, the Magical Super Store is selling stained glass window inserts designed to adhere to aircraft windows.
Fancy a stained glass window on your next Boeing 787 flight? That's no longer a problem (787 not shown). Photo: Magical Super Store
We've covered some strange stories on Simple Flying over the past couple of years. In fact, between the tutu-wearing dogs which delayed a flight, to the runaway golf cart, I thought we'd covered it all. However, despite all of the negative news stories currently circulating, the folks at Magical Super Store have found another odd story for us to report.
Aviation stained glass windows
You may be used to seeing a stained glass window at a church, or perhaps even in an old castle, but have you ever seen one at 36,000 feet? In case you haven't yet but have a sudden desire to make your next flight more colorful, View From The Wing has spotted the solution for you!
There is an online shop now selling stained glass films that you can stick over the window next time you're traveling. According to the store selling them, these stained glass inserts would allow you to "Enjoy a dazzling stained glass window while you read a book, nap, or pray on your flight." What's more, they go on to claim that they "Can be used as a protective film against germs on plane windows."
The film is designed to stick on the window without leaving residue. Photo: Magical Super Store
Different sizes
The company making these stained glass inserts understand that a one size fits all approach will not work when it comes to aircraft windows. As a result, they offer a range of different aircraft window sizes, with varying prices. However, it seems like the creators are Boeing fans, as only two Airbus variants are available. The full list of sizes on offer includes:
Airbus A330 – $25 (Out of stock at the time of writing)
Airbus A350 – $30
Boeing 707-767 – $35
Boeing 777X – $45
Boeing 787 – $50
However, If you're a frequent flyer who regularly switches aircraft, there's also a package for you. For the reduced price of $100, the store is selling a three-pack including the Airbus A330 insert, the Boeing 707-767 insert, and the Boeing 787 insert. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this special pack was out of stock.
A variety of different window sizes are available. Photo: Getty Images
Are these window covers allowed?
With the recent news that United Airlines would ask passengers to open their window blinds for take-off and landing, we couldn't help but wonder if such inserts would be permitted. While they would partially block the view out of the window, they could be removed as easily as opening a window blind on request.
Many trip reporters have been known to stick their cameras onto the window while reviewing flights too. However, other passengers could potentially complain about the obstructed view. We previously mulled over who really controls the window.
Window shades are even available for the Boeing 777X. Photo: Jay Singh – Simple Flying
Simple Flying reached out to America's six biggest airlines for comment on their policy regarding attaching things to windows. At the time of writing, Delta Air Lines declined to comment. Southwest had acknowledged the request but are yet to reply. Meanwhile, JetBlue, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Alaska Airlines are yet to acknowledge. This article will be updated as appropriate if replies are received.
Would you buy a stained glass window insert? Do you think airlines would allow them, or tell customers to take them down? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

eneration Z, or those born in the 1990s to early 2000s, make up 25 percent of the U.S. population, making them a larger cohort than the Baby Boom or Millennial generations. And statistically, GenZ is predicted to be the most conservative generation in recent memory. And if that news isn't good enough, the American Institute of CPAs, or AICPA, has given us another reason to hope for the future.
In a survey released this month, AICPA found that the number of Americans delaying higher education due to financial concerns has dropped but that college admissions have also gone down. "With overall college enrollments down and the average cost of college tuition continuing to creep up, these results suggest that Americans may be questioning the idea that going to college is the best financial decision for everyone." And I couldn't be happier. The fire-breathing dragons of progressive academia are brainwashing our young.
The oldest Millennials turn 37 this year and are well into adulthood. In fact, they first entered adulthood before today's youngest adults were born. So I think it is safe to say that it was Millennials, not GenZ, who have sold their financial soul (and their future) to the god of higher learning, with the average student graduating with $39,400 in student loan debt.
Pew Research Center uses 1996 as the last birth year for Millennials, meaning anyone born between 1981 and 1996 (ages 22 to 37 in 2018) is considered to be a Millennial, although there isn't one clear year in which Millennials end and GenZ begins. I think Pews definition is an accurate one, particularly when you examine that it isn't GenZ getting excited over 90s nostalgia. All of this to say that it is GenZ that is taking a look at the high cost of education and instead of selling out their financial future, they're opting to just get on with life.
Unfortunately, Millennials were told from cradle to high school graduation, that the ticket to financial success and freedom was to get a university degree. And during the booming 80s, this was certainly true, as it became the exclusive employment club of the 90s and beyond. But today, it is widely recognized that the quality of education a university student receives in 2018 in comparison to that in the 1980s is poor and not worth the paper it is printed on—or the cost.
Still, a degree is considered a necessary bridge to becoming a part of the working elite. It's a pay to play scheme for a step on the bottom rung of the elite ladder. Here's why. When Millennials, many of them as old as 37, are the ones in charge of hiring and still have student debt chained to their ankle like a lead ball, they aren't going to hire you into their club unless you, too, have paid your dues. It's just human nature.
GenZ is akin to the 1960s generation in that they don't aspire to be "the man," rather they want to be their own person. Having grown up in a materialistic society in the death throes of a long and painful recession, broken families and a broken nation, GenZ is taking a hard look around them and deciding they don't even want to play the same game as previous generations.
According to an article in Medium, integrated thinking and adaptability are skills that will be in high demand for the complex working environment of the future, which means GenZ will need to become experts in several areas. There is no better way to achieve skills than to continually be engaged in self-propelled learning or even through contract employment, where methodologies can be soaked up like sponges as young adults move from industry to industry. With the availability of online webinars and career podcasts, GenZ will be the first generation that can step outside of the prescribed box of what makes an employee valuable. No college required.
It has been well documented that the one thing all elites have in common is that they marry relatively young and stay married. While Millennials have been emotionally scarred due to the annihilation of the nuclear family, GenZ sees the wisdom of nuclear families and the stability it brings in a chaotic and uncertain world.
More than 77 percent of Generation Z say they want to marry and many of them are opting for debt-free weddings where the commitment is more important than an expensive gala affair.
Generation Z has had its eyes open from the very beginning. They've never known a world that isn't connected to the internet or never experienced a world without terrorism, school shootings and global conflict, even though many of them have no memory of 9-11. They are pragmatic and individualistic and, although they were born into a post-church secular society, almost all profess to believe in God. So although they might not marry for religious reasons, 77 percent of 13 to 35 year olds say they want to get married.
Stable families free from debt make for a stable society, both in economic terms and in social capital, so it may be unfair, but a lot of weight is on the shoulders of this young generation to turn things around and correct what has gone wrong over the last several generations. Here's to hoping they succeed.

Apple HomePod's 'Welcome Home' spot from director Spike Jonze and TBWA\Media Arts Lab is sure to be a Cannes Lions favorite.
Tens of thousands of marketing campaigns are submitted each year to the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Only 10 percent will make it to the shortlist, per festival organizers, and a mere 3 percent will win a Lion.
So one might think that predicting any winners, much less those likely to claim top honors, would be an impossible mission. But agency Leo Burnett has been issuing such predictions for 31 years now—and last year's forecast was spot on: All 25 of its picks came away with a Lion. And this year, the agency is sitting out the awards circuit as part of parent company Publicis' one-year trophy hiatus, making it a truly neutral oracle of the Riviera.
Showered with Lions in 2017, Spike Jonze's frenetic ad for Kenzo starring Margaret Qualley was a sensory-overloading masterpiece. But this year, he created something even more wondrous in "Welcome Home," a four-minute spot for the Apple HomePod following dancer FKA twigs through a metamorphosis that reshapes both her mood and the very world around her.

Meta ads referencing other ads are nothing new, but Saatchi N.Y. flawlessly executed the extreme version of this approach with its 2018 Super Bowl campaign. Perfectly cast with Stranger Things' David Harbour, the effort won a Black Pencil at D&AD and stands to claim more hardware at Cannes (with client P&G picking up the entry fees during parent Publicis' fallow year).
What do you say when you're a chicken chain that's run out of chicken at hundreds of locations? KFC U.K. and agency Mother London found the perfect response to that exact PR disaster with "FCK," a minimalist and unforgettable ad headline that conveyed humility and regret, along with a good bit of classic British cheek.
If an island nation's children asked you to not damage their homeland's lush environment, wouldn't you say yes? That's the simple premise behind an otherwise massively ambitious campaign called "The Palau Pledge," which requires all tourists to sign an environmental-stewardship pledge, stamped right into their passports. The bold work included permanently changing its immigration policy and creating a video about the pledge, which all visitors must view during inbound flights to Palau.
On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was on his way to give a speech at the Dallas Trade Mart when he was assassinated. In March, British news outlet The Times and agency Rothco recreated the speech Kennedy never gave, using AI to build the audio based on his prepared statement and an analysis of 831 recordings.
Ikea has built a wealth of advertising ideas around its catalog, but this campaign actually made the entire periodical obsolete. World-champion memory expert Yanjaa Wintersoul memorized the catalog's every last detail, then fielded questions from dubious agency reps and, eventually, the public via a live chat to prove her skills.
For non-Londoners, this three-minute spot may feel impenetrable at first, jumping pell-mell from one slang-slinging athlete to another, each one-upping the last with descriptions of how hard it is to pursue his or her passion. But the Megaforce-directed ad is one you'll quickly want to watch again and again in hopes of finding and deciphering all the details you missed on the first viewing.
"To fight the problem, first we need to face it." That's the premise behind this campaign, which intricately carved faces of opioid overdose victims onto 22,000 pills to represent the number of fatal overdoses in 2017. One pill was carved every 24 minutes—or the average time between each overdose in America.
In one of the boldest pieces of U.S. advertising in 2017, P&G illustrated the emotional heartbreaking conversations many black parents have had with their children across several generations, trying to help them understand the inexplicable: Why the world will treat them unfairly simply because of their skin color.
Amid a rise in nationalism across many countries, German grocer Edeka and its agency made a powerful point about the real, easily overlooked benefits of global commerce. The supermarket removed all foreign goods from its Hamburg location, creating "The Most German Supermarket"—which also turned out to be nearly empty.
Many campaigns get described as "ambitious," but most seemingly risky marketing stunts don't have much risk of failing. With Breaking2, Nike's push to help a runner complete a marathon in under two hours, the brand faced the very likelihood of not reaching its goal. And sure enough, the daunting barrier remains in tact, despite all the brand's best efforts alongside agency partners like Wieden + Kennedy and Dirty Robber. But the innovations developed along the way could still change running forever—and might someday help reach the now-seemingly-obtainable 1:59.
The roads are filled with a bunch of clowns, and your safety depends on avoiding them. That's both the figurative and literal message in Audi's visual ballet of narrowly avoided accidents via buffoonish drivers. Although BBH parent company Publicis has prohibited entries in Cannes this year, Audi UK is reportedly footing the tab to cover the entry fee.
Is a Super Bowl ad still a Super Bowl ad if only one person gets to watch it? That's the existential riddle at the heart of "Exclusive the Rainbow," a sly stunt from DDB Chicago that created (and heavily promoted) a Super Bowl ad that would be viewed by only one random person: Marcos Menendez. Skittles promoted the effort wtih teasers starring David Schwimmer, and while we still haven't seen it, you can at least hear Menendez's description of the spot.
Had your fill of sarcasm, skepticism and snark in ads? Then you might be in the mood for this lovely little moment created by agency VCCP. It's refreshingly simple, beautifully crafted and leaves you feeling the way a good bar of chocolate should.
What is this wizardry? Snaptivity, an app and AI platform backed by R/GA's IoT Venture Studio UK, uses a combination of robotic cameras and nearly instant visual analysis to take pictures of the most exciting moments during a sports match. Stadiums integrate the cameras, and the app lets you enter your seat number, then receive selfie-like photos of your reactions to the most dramatic bits of each game.
When Stephen King's It became 2017's biggest Halloween hit, Burger King cashed in brilliantly with "Scary Clown Night," which offered free Whoppers to anyone who came into a location on Halloween dressed as a clown. A not-so-subtle dig at rival mascot Ronald McDonald, the stunt was the brainchild of Francisco "Pancho" Cassis, executive creative director at LOLA MullenLowe in Madrid. (Cassis was recently honored in Adweek's Creative 100 for this and other innovative marketing ideas.) From concept to execution, the global stunt was pulled off in mere weeks, with most of the minimalist planning taking place via a WhatsApp chat between Cassis and his client, Burger King Global CMO Fernando Machado.
Sometimes a serious problem calls for a ridiculous solution. Confronting the global epidemic of plastic waste crowding our oceans, a London-based creative team lobbied the United Nations to create a new country called "Trash Isles," which had its own currency (in denominations such as 50 Debris), passports, stamps and flag. Al Gore became the first "official" citizen, and entertainment site LADBible claimed the nation as its own.
If you've got an adorable dog and a smartphone, there's roughly a 100 percent chance that you'll occasionally want to take a selfie with your canine friend. But, as anyone who's tried such a photo knows that dogs couldn't care less about a lens and will typically look at just about anything else rather than stare wide-eyed into the camera for that perfect shot. Pedigree and New Zealand agency Colenso BBDO solved that (first-world) problem with a brilliantly simple creation: SelfieSTIX, an attachment that lets you mount a treat on top of your phone and get your dogs' eyes looking in the right direction. Hey, it's not solving a global crisis, but sometimes you have to celebrate the little victories.

An Phat Bioplastics chooses to go green
An Phat Bioplastics, a subsidiary of An Phat Holdings, expressed its ambition to become a pioneer in manufacturing biodegradable plastic bags and accompany the government on the "green" consumption campaign.
The biodegradable plastics manufacturing line at the An Phat Bioplastics factory
Go "green" to become the leading trend
As of now, An Phat Bioplastics is still the largest nylon manufacturer in Southeast Asia and 100 per cent of its products are exported to numerouscountries on the world, with polyethylene (PE) products being the main source of its revenue. However, at the recent annual shareholders' meeting organised in mid-April, the leader of the company affirmed that they will refocus on manufacturing biodegradable plastic bags which are environmentally friendly.
Pham Anh Duong, chairman of An Phat Bioplastics cum chairman of An Phat Holdings, said, "Green consumption will be a popular trend in the world and in Vietnam. Our change is to catch up with this trend to ensure the sustainable development of our company and the community."
Numerous countries have issued bans on nylon and single-use plastics products.
In Vietnam, in early April, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc asked authorities and people's committee in cities and provinces to build solutions to stimulate both manufacturers and customers to turn towards environmentally friendly plastics.
Besides, on April 25, the prime minister also flagged plastic garbage as an urgent problem, impacting the ecosystem and the environment every hour and challenging the sustainable development of countries. Thus, the PM called on enterprises and the people to join hands to deal with plastic waste and use environmentally friendly products instead.
AnEco bags are widely used in supermarkets
According to Duong, although customers generally understand the benefits of using environmentally friendly products, however, An Phat Bioplastics' work is cut out for it to change customer behaviour. Besides, there are concerns whether An Phat Bioplastics will be able to maintain its growth momentum after giving up its main PE products to manufacture green packaging. However, the company has been preparing for this change for years now.
Solutions from An Phat Bioplastics
Since 2013, An Phat Bioplastics has been investing heavily into R&D to create truly safe plastic products which ensure "microbiological" elements are 100 per cent decomposed when they are buried.
Previously, the company sponsored a number of organisations in Vietnam to study these products, but eventually, the company leadership decided to directly manufacture these products. In 2015, the company launched biodegradable bags under the AnEco brand to export abroad.
An Phat is the first production unit in Vietnam to receive TUV Vincotte OK HOME COMPOST standard for its fully biodegradable bags and is the only Vietnamese company to be recognised as an official member of the European Bioplastic Association. The OK HOME COMPOST standard is one of the highest and most stringent standards, certifying that these products will decompose completely in the home environment when they are buried in the garden or in the normal environment without the need of industrial conditions.
In 2018, AnEco biodegradable bags were launched in Vietnamese markets and are present in almost all supermarkets, including Vinmart, Lotte, Aeon, and Big C. The AnEco brand currently offers numerous products, such as straws, paper cups, and spoons, and the company will continue to research more products.
AnEco received a warm welcome from customers
When the company formulates the development plan for these products, the board of directors always considers three factors, namely trendiness (whether the product segment is being watched by customers), profit, and market share. The company saw that manufacturing environmentally friendly bags will create sustainable growth and more benefit for the company compared to general packaging.
An Phat Bioplastics plans to invest in the construction of an environmentally friendly bag manufacturing factory in the US and expects to bring it into operation in the first quarter of 2020 and will distribute the first products in North America.
To date, there are approximately 10 companies manufacturing biodegradable plastic bags, the four largest ones of whom are located in France, Germany, Italy, and China, thus An Phat Bioplastics has found a segment with massive development potential.

Franklin Leslie kills Billy "The Kid" Claiborne
On this day, the gunslinger Franklin "Buckskin" Leslie shoots the Billy "The Kid" Claiborne dead in the streets of Tombstone, Arizona.
The town of Tombstone is best known today as the site of the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral. In the 1880s, however, Tombstone was home to many gunmen who never achieved the enduring fame of Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday. Franklin "Buckskin" Leslie was one of the most notorious of these largely forgotten outlaws.
There are few surviving details about Leslie's early life. At different times, he claimed to have been born in both Texas and Kentucky, to have studied medicine in Europe, and to have been an army scout in the war against the Apache Indians. No evidence has ever emerged to support or conclusively deny these claims. The first historical evidence of Leslie's life emerges in 1877, when he became a scout in Arizona. A few years later, Leslie was attracted to the moneymaking opportunities of the booming mining town of Tombstone, where he opened the Cosmopolitan Hotel in 1880. That same year he killed a man named Mike Killeen during a quarrel over Killeen's wife, and he married the woman shortly thereafter.
Leslie's reputation as a cold-blooded killer brought him trouble after his drinking companion and fellow gunman John Ringo was found dead in July 1882. Some Tombstone citizens, including a young friend of Ringo's named Billy "The Kid" Claiborne, were convinced that Leslie had murdered Ringo, though they could not prove it. Probably seeking vengeance and the notoriety that would come from shooting a famous gunslinger, Claiborne unwisely decided to publicly challenge Leslie, who shot him dead.
The remainder of Leslie's life was equally violent and senseless. After divorcing Killeen in 1887, he took up with a Tombstone prostitute, whom he murdered several years later during a drunken rage. Even by the loose standards of frontier law in Tombstone, the murder of an unarmed woman was unacceptable, and Leslie served nearly 10 years in prison before he was paroled in 1896. After his release, he married again and worked a variety of odd jobs around the West. He reportedly made a small fortune in the gold fields of the Klondike region before he disappeared forever from the historical record.

Die Grotenburg ist ein  hoher Berg im Südosten des Teutoburger Waldes, in Detmold-Hiddesen, Kreis Lippe, Nordrhein-Westfalen (Deutschland). Bekannt ist die Grotenburg insbesondere durch das Hermannsdenkmal.

Der Berg wird gelegentlich auch Teutberg oder kurz Teut genannt. Es ist jedoch umstritten, ob diese Bezeichnung historisch zutreffend ist. Laut Moritz Friedrich Essellen geht die Bezeichnung auf Christian Gottlieb Clostermeier zurück.

Geografie
Der bewaldete Berg befindet sich im Lippischen Wald, einem südöstlichen Teil des Teutoburger Waldes, rund 1,5 km (Luftlinie) südlich des Detmolder Ortsteilkerns Hiddesen. Eine Besonderheit ist, dass sich der Berg nördlich des Hauptkammes des Teutoburger Waldes befindet und somit, auch dank seiner Höhe, recht markant wirkt.

An den Hängen der Grotenburg – insbesondere am Osthang – befinden sich viele Quellen, die einige kleine Bäche speisen. Während am Südhang nur der 6,7 km lange Heidenbach und der Silberbach, der der Berlebecke zufließt, entspringen, befinden sich am Osthang gleich mehrere Quellen. Hier entspringt der Rautenbergbach, der ein 2,1 km langer, linker Nebenfluss der Berlebecke ist. Außerdem entspringen hier auch seine Nebenbäche: Der 0,6 km lange Schmandbach, der 0,9 km lange Grasfroschbach, der 0,4 km lange Krötenbach und der 0,5 km lange Teichmolchbach.

Ringwallanlagen
Auf dem Gipfel des Berges finden sich Reste einer Ringwallanlage, direkt unterhalb des heutigen Parkplatzes gelegen und zu besichtigen. Diese Wälle waren Teil einer Wallburg aus der späten vorrömischen Eisenzeit. Diese wird als Großer Hünenring bezeichnet. Der Begriff Grotenburg selbst bedeutet große Burg und bezieht sich direkt auf die Wallanlagen.

An der Auffahrtstraße zum Denkmalsgelände des Berggipfels befindet sich der Kleine Hünenring, eine mittelalterliche Wallanlage.

Hermannsdenkmal
1838–1875 wurde innerhalb des größeren der beiden Ringwälle das Hermannsdenkmal errichtet. Zu seinem Bau wurden auch Steine des Walles verwendet, der dadurch stark beschädigt wurde und heute nur noch teilweise erhalten ist.

Verkehr
Es existieren diverse Wege auf den Gipfel der Grotenburg, von denen die meisten Wanderern, Radfahrern und dem Forstverkehr vorbehalten sind. Dazu zählt insbesondere auf der Luftlinie vom Ortskern Detmolds zum Hermannsdenkmal der "Hermannsweg", der am östlichen Fuße Hiddesens beginnt (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem namensgleichen Hermannsweg). Diese Wege sind größtenteils verdichtet und eignen sich somit auch nach Regenfällen für die Überfahrt oder den Aufstieg. Mit Kraftfahrzeugen, gerade mit touristischem Interesse, gelangt man auf dem Weg zum Hermannsdenkmal über die "Hindenburgstraße", einer gut ausgebaute zweistreifige Fahrbahn vom  Detmolder Stadtteil Hiddesen zum kostenpflichtigen Parkplatz "Am Hermannsdenkmal" einige Meter unterhalb der Statue. Für die Abfahrt existiert neben dieser Straße mit der "Denkmalstraße" eine weitere ausgebaute Straße nach Detmold-Schling/-Heiligenkirchen, die direkt vor dem Parkplatz abzweigt. Im obersten Abschnitt ist die Straße als Einbahnstraße abwärts ausgeführt; es existiert am unteren Beginn der Einbahnstraße ein kostenfreier Wanderparkplatz.
Die Abfahrt in Richtung Schling ist zu Beginn recht steil mit einem Gefälle von 20 %. Diese Route ist bei Radfahrern beliebt.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Nahe dem Teutberg befinden sich folgende Sehenswürdigkeiten und geografischen Ziele:

 Donoper Teich
 Externsteine
 Fürstenallee
 Lippische Velmerstot
 Preußische Velmerstot
 Ruine Falkenburg
