Protest for Al-Jazeera flops in Philly but makes the news regardless
Special to WorldTribune.com
Based on an article by Cliff Kincaid for Accuracy in Media
U.S. media organizations covered an Occupy demonstration this week on behalf of the Arab propaganda channel Al-Jazeera despite the fact that only two dozen protesters took part.
Fresh from their attempts to disrupt last week's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, members of the "Occupy" movement showed up in Philadelphia, at the headquarters of Comcast Corp., to demand that the company put the Arab propaganda channel Al-Jazeera on all of its cable systems nationwide.
The pathetic turnout was deemed newsworthy by such news organizations as the Associated Press and Reuters.
The Occupy movement's protest of Comcast Corp. in Philadelphia seemed to draw more media and onlookers than protesters.
Pamela Geller, editor and publisher of the Atlas Shrugs blog, told AIM the channel should not only be discouraged but officially blocked from U.S. media markets because of its links to terrorist groups such as Al Qaida. "Terror TV Al-Jazeera should be designated a terrorist organization just like [Hizbullah's channel] Al-Manar. Al-Manar is designated a terrorist organization," she said.
Geller, who also serves as president of Stop Islamization of Nations (SION), added, "Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al-Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al-Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous Al Qaida videos featuring Bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn."
The Philadelphia demonstration was organized by the little-known Rethink Press, a group that boasts a "partnership" relationship with the George Soros-funded Free Press. Al-Jazeera officials openly encouraged the protests through the popular website Meetup.
Meredith Larson, one of the founders of Rethink Press, is listed on the Facebook page for the "First National Call In Day to Demand Al Jazeera English." Her own personal Facebook page identifies her interests as including Barack Obama, the Democratic Party, the Free Gaza Movement, Noam Chomsky, National Public Radio, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Al-Jazeera English.
The "Campaign for Al Jazeera English's DC Networking Event," now on YouTube, featured Mike Haack of Rethink Press describing how the campaign for Al-Jazeera was being conducted through the "Meetup" web site.
The event was held at Busboys and Poets in Washington D.C., a left-wing bookstore, restaurant, and gathering place, and co-sponsored by the Human Rights Action Center, Institute for Policy Studies, and the Media and Democracy Coalition. People were invited to talk about "why they love Al-Jazeera English."
Haack's bio says he "likes Al Jazeera English because of its superb coverage of economic inequalities in the United States." His Facebook page lists his interests as including Occupy Your Workplace, Noam Chomsky, Institute for Policy Studies, U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, Students for Sensible Drug Policy, and the International Solidarity Movement.
Florida broadcaster Jerry Kenney, a critic of the channel's efforts to get carriage in the U.S. media market, commented that: "It is obvious that these occupiers are clueless that Al Jazeera English is owned and operated by a one percenter, a petrodollar billionaire dictator who forbids freedom of the press in his own country and who could buy Comcast with his pocket change. Why aren't they protesting for free speech in Qatar or at the Qatar embassy?"
Kenney went on, "The owner of Al Jazeera English is so repressive and paranoid of free speech that he has routinely imprisoned bloggers and even a World Cup film crew. But I guess if 30 tax-supported public television station program managers, mostly in academia, who currently carry Al-Jazeera English for free, think that a dictator's point of view is just what Americans are crying out for, well, how can we blame another group of useful idiots for thinking the same?"
He is referring to the tax-supported public television stations airing foreign propaganda channels such as Al-Jazeera English and Russia Today (RT).

Q: Is the salutation remover working properly? I was wondering whether the automagically salutation remover (already) working properly or not? It seems like a very convenient piece of code, but I still notice a lot of salutations (which should be caught by the code as far as I understand).
Some recent examples with salutations:

*

*File exchange API

*PHP Syntax needed

*No response for my WCF web service
and there are many more.

A: We generally only remove salutations when they are on a line by themselves. These 3 all begin like

Hi I foo bar baz...
Hello guys I foo bar baz..
Hi my question foo bar baz..

It's much riskier to remove a salutation without being able to use EOL as a definitive end marker, so we don't try...

Wolfenstein: Youngblood | Game Review
HomeAll PostsReviewsGamesWolfenstein: Youngblood | Game Review
Games, Reviews August 15, 2019 788Views 0Likes 0Comments
This review is an unedited version of the review written by Zombie Dredd and published in the Tech Magazine: Issue 74 October 2019.
Wolfenstein is a franchise name that has a rich history alongside DOOM. While DOOM focused on demons and mass slaughter, Wolfenstein always imagined an alternative world where the Nazis had won and mass slaughter could be calmed with some stealthy stabbing.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is a spin-off from the main series. This time, the twin daughters of Wolfenstein protagonist – B.J. Blazkowicz – are the characters on a mission. Based around 20 years after their dad saved America from Nazi control, Jess and Soph Blazkowicz are off to Europe for their gap year.
OK, that's not entirely true. Their dad has gone missing in (still) Nazi-occupied Europe and his girls decide stealing a helicopter and powered armour suits are the order of the day. Along with killing Nazis, a number of new series features make an appearance that – like the 80s slang – is pretty hit or miss.
Firstly, the game is fully co-operative. Or not, if you want to play solo with an AI partner. You can play as either of the two sisters, with the choice really being cosmetic. Both have the same abilities available to them at the start due to the suits. Through the course of a (slightly) open-world mission structure, abilities and weapons can be upgraded in an RPG-lite manner.
The co-op structure never feels like a necessity however. There are matching lever sequences and the revive-from-downed benefits. The extra gun in a battle is great too, but as you level up, so do your enemies and they never feel overly challenging. Until the boss battles at least. Then you will be happy for a co-op partner – even if it's just to share virtual hugs when the checkpoint is much further back than you expected at death.
Of course, stealth is always an option, given the armour suit comes packed with a cloaking device. An option at least when the level design allows. Otherwise, it all ends in gunfire (again), which is admittedly quite satisfying when you get the right weapon for your needs.
Graphically, the game is… fine… with some odd character animation glitches. The characters themselves are generally bland and nothing like the interesting characters of previous titles. The game does offer plenty to do, with around 15 hours of gameplay. There are side missions available alongside the main story, but ultimately, you came to Europe for one thing – kill Nazis. And that's what you most definitely can expect to spend the majority of your time doing. If that sounds appealing to you, then Wolfenstein: Youngblood should do the job until the franchise returns to its roots.
Wolfenstein: Youngblood is an experiment in the iconic Wolfenstein franchise. However, as with most experiments, it is one that doesn't quite arrive fully realised. Whether the co-op infused first-person shooter will see a sequel to allow the experiment to be developed further is open for debate, but it's first outing is not about to be remembered as a crucial entry into the franchise.

The Sunday Night double QB treat will be worth it
tking@nashuatelegraph.com
Great QBs squared.
You've heard or read that story line the entire week, as we are treated to a matchup at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night between two of the NFL's top three quarterbacks, Tom Brady and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.
But really, you should savor this. Gillette was robbed of this matchup back in 2010 as Rodgers was hurt, and four years ago they played in Green Bay and the Packers came out on top.
Of course, everyone wants to know who the experts think is better. Who cares?
"Yeah, well, I've never played against Tom Brady," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said abruptly when asked who was better. "So I'm glad he's our quarterback. He's a great quarterback.
"He's won a lot of games for us and hopefully he'll win a lot more and we've won a lot of games because of him, but I'e never played against Tom Brady so it's a different context. I'd say playing against Aaron Rodgers is very, very difficult."
The thing is, the Pack has done a worse job of surrounding Rodgers with what he needs (including a formidable defense) than the Patriots have with Brady. Green Bay just shipped out two familiar names in Ty Montgomery and Ha-Ha Clinton Dix.
We'll see if there's any impact. Meanwhile, we're rolling like the Rams after a 6-1 week:
PATRIOTS 31, PACKERS 28
Stephen Gostkowsk, the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, gets a quick start on November with a field goal as time runs out for the second straight time on a Sunday Night Football showdown. The Patriot offense will operate much more efficiently at home (away from the road craziness in Buffalo) and the Packers' defense will wilt.
RAVENS 24, STEELERS 23
Another good matchup, this time the Ravens take advantage of home field as this rivalry continues to see-saw. Too bad it isn't being played at the end of the season, right? Heck, but then maybe Le'Veon Bell will actually be playing.
TEXANS 24, BRONCOS 17
Demaryius Thomas hauls in a Deshaun Watson pass in the final seconds to snap a 17-all tie as Bronco fans boo their hero, John Elway, he just can't make the right moves to recapture that Super Bowl magic. Are the Texans this good to recover from an 0-3 start? We'll see.
SAINTS 34, RAMS 30
Other than Pats-Packers, the matchup of the week. Now the Rams got more formidable with their deadline deal, acquiring pass rusher Dante Fowler. But they're due for a loss, and the Drew Brees Who Dats are back to being nearly unbeatable at home.
REDSKINS 27, FALCONS 23
Who would've thought Washington, with Alex Smith at quarterback, would be the most of the NFC Least? But it's starting to look that way. It's also starting to look like Atlanta is very far away from the Super Bowl team of a couple of years ago.
CHARGERS 17, SEAHAWKS 13
Yes, it's the L.A. Chargers winning a road game in a place where you're not supposed to be able to win, Seattle. But this Seahawks team, despite being 4-3 going in, is in the midst of a rebuild on the fly. Chargers will be a playoff team, not wasting Philip Rivers' final years.
TITANS 24, COWBOYS 17
Decisions like Titans coach Mike Vrabel made in London can kill a season. Here's a chance to reverse all that. Just when you think the Cowboys are ready to take off,they take a step back, and this Monday Nighter will be one.
LAST WEEK: 6-1
SEASON: 33-21-2

Q: How do I add a deleted file to the index to be committed? I have recently moved a project from SVN to git, and my colleague only just recently deleted all of the old .svn directories.  I attempted to use git pull --rebase in order to have his changes (which were numerous) be added before my own changes.  There was a conflict, and I was able to use git add -A to remove the vast majority of issues.  However, there remains the following:
Unmerged paths:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#   (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark resolution)
#
#   both deleted:       th/protected/modules/rights/views/authItem/.svn/text-base/_childForm.php.svn-base

If we've both deleted it, how am I supposed to use git add/rm to add the change to the index?
In short, how does one go about adding a deleted file to the index to be committed?
EDIT:
I have tried to use git rm <filename> on the file, but it does not work it provides the following message:
fatal: pathspec 'th/protected/modules/rights/views/authItem/.svn/text-base/_childForm.php.svn-base' did not match any files

EDIT:
Would it be worthwhile to make a dummy file of the same name that I can add to the index?  I don't know what might happen, though, so I am unwilling to do this without a little bit of advice.

A: Try doing git rm --cached th/protected/modules/rights/views/authItem/.svn/text-base/_childForm.php.svn-base to remove the file only from the index, not from the working tree.
Reference: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rm.html

A: You have a merge conflict. Try git mergetool or
git add th/protected/modules/rights/views/authItem/.svn/text-base/_childForm.php.svn-base

Wyrlynth is said to be a carnal creature. It is easy to believe when you look at the make up of the Anjasta, a nomadic tribe that frequents the wastes around Zan Zan Turina. While largely Orcs, there are also The Blooded. From a distance, The Blooded would easily be mistaken for humans. When one gets closer, however, it is apparent that they are much more.
Wyrlynth is lady and protector of Zan Zan Turina. In her draconic form, The Eternal Wyrm is snake like, without wings or appendages. Two massive horns protrude from her head. The elder Drake, having complete control over her size, can grow to such a magnitude that she dwarfs all other dragons of the world. Yet, at her smallest, she is the size of a tiny snake. Her size at any given moment is not her most impressive feature, however.
This history of Dezeldenia is one of cruelty, disease, and death.
The Kashkuli, first and foremost, have given up all the material possessions and comforts of the world. They roam the streets of Varrek, subsisting on that which they can scavenge and beg for. They reason that any material possessions or participation in greater society robs them of valuable time they could put toward enlightenment and the pursuit of what they see as "Ishtalla," or "Perfect magic," loosely translated. They believe what the world perceived as Insanity in Qua Jon was but Genius too far removed from the layperson to understand. They seek to follow in his path.
Only men are allowed to become Kashkuli. The order holds itself to absurd standards in that regard.

"The Dark Knight", "Shrek", "Grease", "A Clockwork Orange" are among Film Registry inductees.
December 29, 2020 Published by ADMIN
(Photograph credit: Warner Bros.)
The National Film Registry (NFR) is the United States National Film Preservation Board's (NFPB) selection of films that are believed to be deserving of preservation.
The NFPB, established by the National Film Preservation Act of 1988, was reauthorized by acts of Congress in 1992, 1996, 2005, and again in October 2008. This year film such as "The Dark Knight," "Shrek," "Grease," "The Blues Brothers,"
"Lillies of the Field," "The Hurt Locker," "A Clockwork Orange," "The Joy Luck Club" and "The Man With the Golden Arm" are all added there. It's the second time a superhero movie after "Superman" (1979) gets noticed.
Christopher Nolan, director of "The Dark Knight" said he's honored and said it's a success of not only his but also everybody who worked on Batman mythology to this day. "The Joy Luck Club" was an important film for Asian-American culture, and the producer Janet Young shared her happiness for it.
Kathyrn Bigelow was also humbled and thrilled for the inclusion. John Landis previously got a place for Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Animal House" but his third inclusion came with "The Blues Brothers" and he said it's all because of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi,
their chemistry and love for blues music and African-American artists. Speaking of African-Americans, Sidney Poitier also said: "'Lilies of the Field' stirs up such great remembrances in our family, from the littlest Poitiers watching a young and agile 'Papa' to the oldest – Papa Sidney himself!"
It's no surprise that "Shrek" is here given how huge it was. Then, of course, another Kubrik film "A Clockwork Orange". Meanwhile, the "Grease" director also reacted to the news. "The cast and crew of 'Grease' have remained close for the past 40 years," said "Grease" director Randal Kleiser.
"We are all honored to be included in this year's national registry selection. Personally, I've spent the last year composing all my script notations, storyboards, and photographs." As Filmiere.com, it's always a joy to see films are protected and appreciated on a much higher level.

In this series of articles, we are looking at the nature and value of work. The Christian view of work comes from the Bible. Surprisingly the idea of work appears very early in the Bible. In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam work to do. He was to care for the garden and to name the animals. And Genesis specifically says that God put Adam in the garden for the purpose of this work. Chapter 2, verse 15 says that God put Adam in the Garden to "work the garden and take care of it." This could not be much plainer and appears in the second chapter in the Bible.
There is no indication that this work was particularly difficult in the Garden and this is significant. Before the fall, that is, before Adam sinned, work was not a chore, but a wonderful endeavor in which Adam sensed God's presence and pleasure.
But it was not just Adam who worked in the Garden. What is much more important is that God worked. What was God's work? It was the work of creation. God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God said, "Let the waters swarm with living creatures," and it was so. The Bible does not give the indication that creation was hard for God. That is an amazing but very important part of how Genesis, chapters 1 and 2 are written. The work of creation did not exhaust God. It did not give him a headache. Or frustrate him. In fact God's power is such that he simply said the word, he spoke, and what did not exist came into existence. This is not to say that creation is not complex and sophisticated. It is, in the extreme. But that creation is the result of God's command, is in the Bible, simply a statement of the immense power and greatness of God.
The term work is specifically used to describe God's acts of creation. At the end of creation, it says that God rested from all his labors on the seventh day. He rested from all the "work" he had done. This is found in Genesis, chapter 2, verse 2. Theologians generally do not consider that this day of rest was primarily for God's sake as if he was exhausted after making everything. Rather it was primarily to set a pattern for humans that they should not work all the time. Six days you may work but then take a day off from work for rest, for family, and for worship.
What then is the purpose of the Sabbath? Jesus would say, in Mark 2:27, that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath for man. The Sabbath is a gift from God. It means that we do not have to work all the time. We should take some time for rest and refreshing. Family and worship are important priorities, as well as work.
This week be sure your life has balance in relation to work. Do not work so hard that other important priorities suffer. One day, each week is to be set aside to renew our mind, energy, family, and faith. On the other hand, be sure to work honestly and diligently. Do your best at whatever is your work. Doing so reflects God's nature and honors God who gave us this gift.
American is a land flowing with milk and honey. It is estimated that the United States has $45 trillion in natural resources. It has over 13% of the world's coal. It has huge resources of timber. It has sizeable deposits of natural gas, oil, gold, and copper. America has vast farmlands, plentiful water resources, a pleasant climate, and safe harbors. In addition, the United States has high worker productivity and a strong industrial base.
The United States has geographical advantages. It is not bordered by enemies, such as the nation of Israel is. While the issue of immigration is an important one, Mexico is not an enemy state. Those who cross the border illegally do so primarily for economic advantage, not warfare. The border between the United States and Canada is the longest demilitarized border in the world. That the United States borders both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans gives it access to shipping lanes. The oceans also serve as a natural defense. It's access to both oceans gives it the opportunity to control them both militarily. The United States is physically and literally the economic center of the world.
The United States is the largest economy in the world. It's Gross Domestic Product is about 20 trillion dollars. Second is the European Union at 17 trillion. China's GDP is 12 trillion. Canada's is 1.6 trillion. Mexico's is 1.1 trillion. The United States has the world's most influential financial market, the New York Stock Exchange being the largest in terms of market capitalization. The U.S. has the largest consumer market in the world, with household consumption expenditure being five times larger than Japan.
Median household income in the United States is about $60,000 per year. Russia is twice as large as the United States and has twice the potential natural resources, but its median income is under $10,000 per year. Brazil's is $8,800. China's is $8,200. Cuba's is $6,500. India's is $1,600. Afghanistan's is $600.
What is the secret to America's prosperity? It is, in part, a land flowing with natural resources. It is also a capitalist and democratic system that allows economic freedom. This freedom creates the incentive and ability for people to use their God-given talents to create, innovate, and produce. The Protestant work ethic reminds us that work is a good gift from God and that we are put here on earth to be productive. In addition, Christianity has given us a moral framework that has created an honest, compassionate culture that seeks to do good in our nation and in the world.
We should remember the words of the psalm. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." For all these things our greatest strength is our faith in God. It is ultimately God's blessing that we need more than anything else. With it we will be strong. Without it even this great nation will fall into decay. Let us therefore always remember to pray for our nation, so that we will be godly, good, and pleasing in God's sight.
John Calvin said that the resurrection is the "chief article of our faith." He meant that it was the cornerstone of our belief, the centerpiece of our proclamation, and the ultimate hope around which we gather. Since John Calvin is the father of Reformed theology, every Presbyterian ought to have read something from John Calvin. There is no better place to turn than his words about the resurrection, in his Institutes of the Christian Religion.
"Next comes the resurrection from the dead. Without this what we have said so far would be incomplete. For since only weakness appears in the cross, death, and burial of Christ, faith must leap over all these things to attain its full strength. We have in his death the complete fulfillment of salvation, for through it we are reconciled to God, his righteous judgment is satisfied, the curse is removed, and the penalty paid in full. Nevertheless, we are said to 'have been born anew to a living hope' not through his death but 'through his resurrection.' For as he, in rising again, came forth victor over death, so the victory of our faith over death lies in his resurrection alone. Paul's words better express its nature: 'He was put to death for our sins, and raised for our justification.' This is as if he had said: 'Sin was taken away by his death; righteousness was revived and restored by his resurrection.' For how could he by dying have freed us from death if he had himself succumbed to death? How could he have acquired victory for us if he had failed in the struggle? Therefore, we divide the substance of our salvation between Christ's death and resurrection as follows: through his death, sin was wiped out and death extinguished; through his resurrection, righteousness was restored and life raised up, so that-thanks to his resurrection-his death manifested its power and efficacy in us. Wherefore, Paul states that 'Christ was declared the Son of God . . . in the resurrection itself,' because then at last he displayed his heavenly power, which is both the clear mirror of his divinity and the firm support of our faith."
"Further, as we explained above that the mortification of our flesh depends upon participation in his cross, so we must understand that we obtain a corresponding benefit from his resurrection. The apostle says: 'We were engrafted in the likeness of his death, so that sharing in his resurrection we might walk in newness of life.' Hence, in another passage, from the fact that we have died with Christ he derives proof that we must mortify our members that are upon the earth. So he also infers from our rising up with Christ that we must seek those things above, not those on the earth. By these words we are not only invited through the example of the risen Christ to strive after newness of life; but we are taught that we are reborn into righteousness through his power."
In this Easter season, may the cross and resurrection will you with forgiveness, hope, and new life.
There is often some character flaw in people in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament. Abraham and Isaac lied. Jacob was deceitful. Moses got angry and misused his position. Jephthah was foolish. Samson made bad relationship choices. David was lustful. Solomon's faith wavered. And so on.
There are a few people in the Old Testament who do not have a character flaw, at least as revealed in scripture. One of those is Joseph in the book of Genesis. It has been remarked that Joseph's life parallels the life of Christ in a number of ways. In this sense he serves as a "type" of Christ, a symbol that foreshadowed Christ.
Think about the similarities. Like Christ, both were the beloved of their father. Joseph was a shepherd, Christ the Good Shepherd. Both were foretold to be rulers. The brothers of both were jealous of them. Joseph was sent to his brothers, Jesus to God's people. When he was in danger, Reuben wanted to rescue Joseph but could not; Pilate wanted to release Jesus, but did not. Both were betrayed by those close to them and sold for a price. Both went to Egypt. Both were falsely accused, Joseph by Potiphar's wife, Jesus while on trial before the Sanhedrin. Each was condemned with two others – Joseph with the Butler and Baker, Jesus with the two thieves. Of those condemned with them one lived and the other died. Joseph's brothers did not recognize Jesus; neither did the Jewish people recognize Jesus. Both Joseph and Jesus were raised to power. All knees bowed to Joseph; all knees will bow to Jesus. The evil others intended was meant for good by God. Joseph and Jesus forgave those who meant them harm. Both Joseph and Jesus saved their people. Joseph does not have his sins mentioned in the Bible; Jesus was truly sinless.
It is interesting that Joseph's story conforms so closely to the life of Christ. He is the reminder that our lives too, in whatever imperfect ways, are also to conform to Christ's. How are we doing in conforming our attitudes, thoughts, and actions to Christ?
What do you think about? What preoccupies your mind? What is the first thing you think about when you wake up in morning? What is the last thing you think about before you fall asleep? What do you spend time worrying about?
Down through the centuries people have wrestled with how to keep their minds focused on God. John Calvin said that one ought to pray: when one arose; before work; before and after each meal; and before bed. 17th century monk Brother Lawrence tried to "practice the presence of God" by keeping himself conscious of God even in the most menial activities. Various religious orders recite the complete book of Psalms each week in order to bring the prayer book of the church into their minds. The Apostle Paul said that he tried to "take every thought captive to obey Christ" (II Corinthians 10:5).
One classic way to bring God's peace to our minds is to go to sleep with a prayer or verse of scripture in our minds. There is always something to pray about. If nothing else we all need to say, "Thank you." To end our conscious day with prayer to God is a ancient practice used by the saints through the centuries.
The Bible also gives us many resources for meditation. One easy method is to find a verse of scripture to hold in our mind as we go to sleep. The best verses are short promises that bring us comfort. If we wake up in the middle of the night, we can continue our meditation on the verse until we fall back to sleep.
One can flip through the psalms and find many good verses to use in meditation. For example: "As a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God" (42:1). Or, "The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge" (46:7). Or, "Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth" (54:2). Or, "Give thanks to the Lord for he is good" (107:1).
If we want peace of mind, we should seek to fill our mind with God's words and our prayers.
The apostle Paul was an interesting person. He was a member of the strictest Jewish group, the Pharisees. He marked himself as an "up and comer," in their ranks by his aggressive stance toward Christians. But when he found himself confronted by the living Christ, he channeled that energy into his ministry toward the Gentiles. When we think of Paul, we usually think of his success at starting new churches and the writings from his hand in the New Testament. We think of his sacrificial devotional to the work God gave him to do.
In Galatians we find an interesting and little noticed aspect of Paul's focus. He was especially interested in helping the poor.
Christians often make one of two mistakes. We think that true Christianity is all about salvation of the heart and we ignore social needs. Or we focus on the social needs of others to the neglect of personal faith in Jesus Christ. But the Bible commends balance and we see it in the life of Paul. Though his heart was fueled by a passion to start new churches and proclaim the gospel, he also felt real compassion for the poor.
Why should we help the poor? Because every person is a child of God. Every person has been created by God and is loved by God. Even people who have made bad choices are loved by God. And some who are poor, especially the young, suffer from the cycle of generational poverty that is not their fault. Just as the commandment that we should not kill, is a recognition of our common humanity, so it is with the instruction to reach out to the poor. God does not allow us to turn away from those in need, for they are like us, creatures made in God's image and loved by him.
As Paul was, so we should be eager to help the poor. To reach out to those in need is not the whole gospel, but it is a part of it. It is a part of the gospel and the life of faith that we cannot neglect.

No-input mixer. Mixer Feedback model B K is a sound set for Native Instruments Kontakt 5. Designed by Taichi Furudate, these patches are based on audio captured from a no-input mixer, an instrument contrived by connecting the output of an audio mixer with its input to incite feedback. The third in a series of four titles, each centered on a different mixer, this release features a contemporary, mass market model by a German manufacturer.
As a member of a duo, Shimettainu, whose instrumentation consists solely of no-input mixers (even signal processors are not used in their performances), Taichi Furudate's prowess in the art of mixer feedback is extreme. Repurposing audio mixers as oscillators and tweaking onboard settings, he induces gradational shifts between timbres such as squealing, serrated noise akin to low pitched sawtooth waves, and many others, ranging from euphonic to discordant, sonorous to shrill. More radical forms of interaction with his sounds involve methods such as tampering with cables and on/off switches.
The timbres generated by the mixer used in Mixer Feedback model B K can be described as "like a cheap digital synthesizer", according to Taichi Furudate. Due to its inexpensiveness and replaceability, this model is the most violently handled mixer in his collection (it has been thrown during performances), and bares damages to its electronics, resulting in a highly "customized" device. Driven by his preference for physical interaction and "rough and chaotic" behaviors of no-input mixers, this model is often configured with a piezoelectric microphone and a small speaker to form the feedback loop. In this configuration, the angle, position, and pressure of the two components serve as parameters in which to acoustically shape the feedback signal, by introducing precariousness and imperfection.
The sound design executed in Kontakt 5 transposes mixer feedback to the realm of synthesis. The sampler's formidable tapestry of DSP tools were savvily exploited to contort the captured audio to synthesizer paradigms (tuned patches based on seamlessly looped tones and drum kit presets) and into noise instruments, yielding patches ranging from stunningly simple to stupendously intricate. As a universal feature within the sound set, MIDI cc#1 was programmed to trigger vivid timbral transformations.
CERTAIN PATCHES MAY EXHIBIT TUNING INSTABILITY OUTSIDE OF C1-B4, DUE TO ALIASING.
THIS SOUND SET WAS DEVELOPED ON AND CURRENTLY TESTED ONLY WITH KONTAKT 5.0.2 (REQUIRED) ON MAC SNOW LEOPARD. IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH KONTAKT 5 PLAYER, THE FREE SAMPLE PLAYER. THE .NKI FILE FORMAT USED IN THIS PRODUCT IS OF THE MONOLITH VARIANT AND THE LISTED PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS ACCOUNT FOR AUDIO FILES CONTAINED IN MULTIPLE PATCHES, AND THEREFORE THE ACTUAL DOWNLOAD WILL BE OF A LARGER FILE SIZE.

Located in midst of Arabian Sea, a short distance from the Mumbai shores, Elephanta caves are age-old caves dating back to 5th-7th centuries.
Elephanta Caves are very popular amongst both local and foreign tourists. Accessible by an hour long ferry ride, which offers nice views of Mumbai's skyline, Elephanta Caves are well-located on an island with about 7 km circumference.
The island was earlier known as Gharapuri and was renamed to Elephanta by the Portuguese after the giant structure of an elephant they came across when they landed here. Today the structure stands in Jijamata Garden in Mumbai.
History of the caves is not very clear though the architecture indicates that those were formed during the Chalukas and the Rashtrakutas dynasties. Since then the area was ruled by various dynasties, Portuguese and Marathas from whom it went under the rule of the British.
And though no documents have been found to specify anything, it seems that Elephanta caves were meant for something important when they were created.
Elephanta caves are grouped into two groups, one containing 5 Hindu caves and another containing two Buddhist caves.
The Hindu caves are apparently built by Hindu sect Shaivas, devotees of Lord Shiva as the caves are primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva.
The main entry to the caves is from the north side which leads one to a huge hall with a number of pillars. Here stands the Maheshamurti, an 18ft tall three-headed idol of Lord Shiva.
The front or the centre head presents a detached, meditative and other-worldly Shiva in his 'tatpurusha' aspect. The left head symbolises the 'aghora' form that is the turbulent and fearsome and the tight one presents him as 'vamadeva', that is pleasing and lovable. Maheshmurti is the main attraction of Elephanta Caves.
Closeby, there are many other sculptures representing Shiva in various forms like Nataraja where he is performing a divine dance, Gangadhara where he is bearing the Ganges, descending from heaven to earth, in his locks, Ardhanarishvara where masculine and feminine energies are merged into one depicting the unanimity of the opposites.
Elephanta caves seem to have suffered a lot at the hands of Portuguese who evidently practiced target shooting here. And then the visitors were not so considerate either causing immense damage.
Elephanta caves were declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987 and are currently maintained by Archaeological Survey of India.
Every year in the month of February, a dance festival is organised here by MTDC.


History: "Shadow Brokers" hacked the NSA in April 2016, and leaked the American cyber weapon ETERNALBLUE for the Microsoft Windows system. WannaCry's developers used ETERNALBLUE as the basis of their ransomware (not confirmed by experts), which gains access to a Windows computer, through a Windows vulnerability which was patched by MS on 3/14/17.
It is passed by email, and infects after the email attachment is opened.
One enterprising British fellow got a look at it and found the hard coded "kill switch" and by purchasing the domain the worm turned to, effectively stopped its spread.
Now there's a variant version of the first worm together with which, the computers (large networks and small) in 94 countries or so have been attacked, including hospital systems, FedEx, Telefonica, etc.
So, what should you do? First, patch your system with MS's latest update through Windows update. To protect yourself, make sure Microsoft patch MS17-010 is applied to your PC.That will protect you against version one. Next, MAKE A DISK BACKUP, which you should have been doing all along. Update any anti-ransomware app you have. However, to the best of my knowledge, there's no specific update for version 2 just yet. At least not for the Malwarebytes app which I have.
I would avoid any email with an attachment. Yeah, it's a pita, but seriously, what else can you do?
My thanks to Fuzzy Logic for his initial warning about the second variant Forums post.
The decryptor is only going to work if you haven't killed the ransomware process (should be wnry.exe or or wcry.exe) in Task Manager.

Issue #198 :: The "NASA is the new black" Edition :: 11:28:2018
NASA is the new black…
It's not just your imagination, NASA t-shirts really are everywhere now. Not only are these shirts popping up at your favorite retail stores, a new wave of NASA themed collaborations are appearing all over the fashion world. But why?
An easy answer is nostalgia. Both of the NASA logos (the classic red "worm" and the newer "meatball") have a wonderfully retro look that translates well to a t-shirt design, but it's also possible that there's an economic incentive at play too. As a government organization, NASA does not require licensing process or licensing fee to be paid for the usage of its logos.
My personal theory is that this current boom was sparked by the popularity of a pair of astronaut-themed shoes designed by the artist Tom Sachs. In 2012, Sachs and Nike teamed up to release the "Mars Yard" sneakers, which were inspired by the quirky "Space Program" installations that Sachs was making at the time. These shoes became instant classics and are covered by sneakerheads around the globe, sometimes selling to collectors for over $2,000. After the popularity of these shoes, more and more street brands started dabbling with NASA themed logos and designs.
So these shoes were just slightly ahead of the trend or the current wave of NASA inspired fashion was the result of an artist who was known for making spaceships out of plywood and glue. You decide!

RBA cuts rates to record 0.5pc
Matthew CranstonUnited States correspondent
Mar 3, 2020 – 2.30pm
The Reserve Bank of Australia has cut the official cash rate by 0.25 percentage points to a record low of 0.5 per cent.
The cut - the fourth in less than 12 months - follows turmoil in financial markets over the past week driven by fears about the impact of the global coronavirus outbreak.
"The board took this decision to support the economy as it responds to the global coronavirus outbreak."
"The coronavirus outbreak overseas is having a significant effect on the Australian economy at present, particularly in the education and travel sectors."
The central bank is the first major central bank beyond the China to ease in response to the coronavirus outbreak. It had already forecast the virus would wipe 0.2 of a per centage point off Australia's economic growth in the first quarter, but now says it thinks that hit to the economy will be more substantial.
"The uncertainty that it is creating is also likely to affect domestic spending. As a result, GDP growth in the March quarter is likely to be noticeably weaker than earlier expected."
The decision to cut leaves the central bank just one 0.25 percentage point cut away from what RBA governor Philip Lowe has said would be the point it would consider quantitative easing.
"The board is prepared to ease monetary policy further to support the Australian economy."
The board did acknowledge the rapid growth in property prices and borrowing.
"There are further signs of a pick-up in established housing markets, with prices rising in most markets, in some cases quite strongly."
The Reserve Bank's decision statement acknowledged the falling Australian dollar and the likelihood of further interest rate cuts in the United States.
"The Australian dollar has also depreciated further recently and is at its lowest level for many years. In most economies, including the United States, there is an expectation of further monetary stimulus over coming months."
While the Australian dollar had slipped earlier during the Prime Minister's discussion of coronavirus, it made up some ground following the Reserve Bank's announcement.
The central bank acknowledged the federal government's plan to increase fiscal stimulus in response to the virus outbreak hit to the economy.
"The Australian government has also indicated that it will assist areas of the economy most affected by the coronavirus."
Banks should 'do the right thing'
Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said both his government and the RBA were aligned on meeting the economic challenge.
"We had a hook up yesterday, the Treasurer and I and the finance minister, along with the Treasury Secretary, with the government Reserve Bank and the deputy governor. We are highly aligned, highly aligned in our understanding of what the challenges here."
Mr Morrison also told banks to "do the right thing by Australians " and pass the RBA rate cut.
He invoked Qantas' special flights to evacuate Australians from virus hotspots in China to heap pressure on the banks.
"This is the same callout, on behalf of all Australians," Mr Morrison told reporters.
"If the Reserve Bank moves today ... I would expect they would do the right thing by those Australians ... just like Qantas did their bit, and that they would follow through," Mr Morrison said.
Banks cut immediately
Westpac Banking Corp immediately moved to pass the full 25 basis point official rate cut through to mortgage borrowers, putting pressure on the other major banks to do the same.
CBA, NAB and ANZ soon followed reducing the variable rate for home loan customers by the full 0.25 percentage points.
Westpac's standard variable rate is now 4.58 per cent.
The prime minister noted that of the 75 basis points reduction in official rates since the last election, 70 basis points have been passed through to consumers.
"So while not all of those rate cuts were passed on by the banks, and you know my view on that, I applaud Australian consumers are taking matters into their own hands and making sure that they get a better deal," Mr Morrison said.
"There is no doubt that if the bank were to take a decision today on cash rates that the government would absolutely expect the four big banks to come to the table and to do their bit in supporting Australians as we go through the impact of the coronavirus," he said.
On Monday night, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development said the coronavirus would slash 0.5 percentage points off Australia's economic growth this year.
Economists at three of the big four banks - National Australia Bank, Westpac and ANZ - had expected a rate cut. The Commonwealth Bank had predicted the central bank would hold.
Aside from the crashing stockmarkets, Westpac pointed to the plunge in China's producers and manufacturers index to 35.7 in February from 50 in January.
This was below the previous record low of 38.8 in November 2008, during the global financial crisis.
The hit to exports
The RBA has been watching the export relationship with China, which accounts for 38 per cent of Australia's total exports. Exports account for about 22 per cent of Australia's GDP.
The RBA cut the official interest rate three times last year in part to keep the Australian dollar from appreciating, helping to drive exports and boost the economy.
The cuts were also directed at powering the housing market, boosting job growth and wages and returning inflation back to its target range of between 2 to 3 per cent.
The bank has repeatedly said it would ease further if there was not enough progress made in achieving its targets.
"[The Bank] remains prepared to ease monetary policy further if needed to support sustainable growth in the economy, full employment and the achievement of the inflation target over time," the board said in its last statement.
A new property bubble?
But the bank has been wary of fuelling another housing bubble with cheap money.
The bank warned in February, after its last rate decision, that record low interest rates might become "too much of a good thing", increasing concerns over asset price bubbles.
House prices have been growing sharply, with Sydney up 10.9 per cent in the last 12 months and other capitals not far behind. Credit growth has also been rising steadily.
Canstar noted that in the past the Reserve Bank had been cautious about cutting rates in response to stockmarket falls, but that the speed of the coronavirus turmoil had changed that.
"During the GFC the RBA waited until the ASX 200 had fallen 24 per cent from its peak before moving the cash rate down from 7.25 percent to 7 per cent," Canstar's finance expert Steve Mickenbecker said.
"Today, from the 20th February peak, the market was off 11 per cent. Admittedly it was all in an 11-day rush, perhaps all the more reason that the RBA should be comfortable about waiting another month to consider cutting the cash rate."

Xbox One outsold PlayStation 4 last month, according to analyst estimate (update)
Jeff Grubb@jeffgrubb	 October 13, 2014 2:30 PM
Gamers showed up to get this $400 Madden Xbox One bundle along with a free copy of Destiny in early September.

Update: See official sales results for September from the NPD. PS4 ended up outselling Xbox One.
Give gamers a good deal, and they might show up to buy your new console. That's what Microsoft is learning.
The Xbox One sold better than the PlayStation 4 in September, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter. He is estimating that Microsoft sold 325,000 new Xbox Ones at U.S. retailers last month while Sony sold 250,000 PS4s. This is notable because Sony's system has sold better than Microsoft's in nearly every month since each gaming device launched in November. September is also when Activision launched its blockbuster sci-fi shooter Destiny, which Sony helped market as a PS4 game even though it is also available on Xbox One and the older systems. Both corporations are locked in a battle in the console-gaming sector, which is worth billions of dollars in the U.S. alone.
"We expect Xbox One sales to exceed those of the PS4 for only the second month since launch," Pachter said in a note to investors.
These Wedbush numbers are just a prediction, and we should learn if they are accurate this Thursday when industry-tracking firm The NPD Group reveals its sales data for the month of September.
If they do hold out, it's pretty clear how Xbox One bested the PS4 despite Sony's momentum and Destiny: Microsoft made an appeal to gamers' wallets.
"From Sept. 7 through [Sept.] 13, Microsoft offered a free game with the purchase of a new Xbox One at participating retailers," said Pachter.
That is the same week that Destiny launched, and it also closely coincided with the debut of a $400 Xbox One bundle that comes with the football sim Madden NFL 15. So during that week, savvy gamers could get a new Xbox One and two highly anticipated games for $400. Meanwhile, to get the PS4 bundled with Destiny, the same customer would need to spend $450.
"I kind of think that free Destiny [on Xbox One] was better than [paying] for Destiny on PS4," Pacther told GamesBeat. He also noted the appeal of the Madden bundle. "That's pretty compelling."
