I have eggs as part of my diet daily and eating egg scramble or omelette will become boring after a few days. So i try to make something different once in a while. You can check my recipes in my paleo recipes page(click for the page) Pizza is one dish I miss a lot, but when I tried the low carb versions using cauliflower base and fat dough base, I didn't like both of them. So I didn't even try it after the trials. Those two has cheese as part of the recipe. So with the cheese in the crust and the topping, the pizza tends to become really heavy.
After I started using coconut flour in recipes, I decided to give pizza a try using coconut flour. When I made it for my lunch one day, I loved it so much as it was not very heavy as the fat dough crust and cauliflower crust. If you love the usual pizzas, don't expect the same in this recipe. This is a low carb version and is a delicious substitute for pizzas but never compare them. If you are on low carb for too long and if you miss pizzas, then do try this version. You will be really satisfied. I have made it thrice ever since I started making this and even Sruti loves it. She has it for her dinner and I add some extra cheese for her.
The best part of this recipe is that it is made on stove to. So if you don't have an oven, then no worries at all. And if you have the sauce and cheese ready, the pizza takes hardly 10 minutes to cook. Check out my chunky pizza sauce I posted yesterday. Use it or use a smooth pizza sauce. I have done a simple cheese topped pizza, but you can add as many topping as you wish. Make it vegetarian using vegetables or go for cooked shredded meat. Everything would work fine in the recipe.
Whisk together coconut flour, eggs, salt, seasoning and pepper powder.
Heat a tawa and add some ghee.
Add the egg mix and cook on low flame until the bottom is done.
Gently flip the bread, apply sauce on top.
Cover and cook on low flame until the cheese melts.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it hot out of stove.

Q: get only one part of my let in an array I need some help with my app.
so,
I have this code
let let1 = Autosteiger(name: "Name1", addres: "Straat 1", coordinates: "coordinaten 1")
let let2 = Autosteiger(name: "Name 2", addres: "Straat 2", coordinates: "Coordinated 2")

and I want only the name as a String in my array
PS
"Autosteiger" is a swift file a mode, I am not sure how to call it.
code "Autosteiger" (It's a different file!)
import UIKit

class Autosteiger {
    var name: String
    var addres: String
    let coordinates: String
    var image: UIImage

init(name: String, addres: String, coordinates: String) {
    self.name = name
    self.addres = addres
    self.coordinates = coordinates

    image = UIImage(named: self.name)!
    }
}

I hope someone can help me.

A: I am supposing you have an array of your Autosteiger model.
let let1 = Autosteiger(name: "Name1", addres: "Straat 1", coordinates: "coordinaten 1")
let let2 = Autosteiger(name: "Name 2", addres: "Straat 2", coordinates: "Coordinated 2")

let modalArray = [let1, let2]

And you want an array with the name properties of all models. So you can it like this:
let nameArray = modalArray.map { $0.name }

Hope this will help.

A 'Heart'-felt Thank You to the Medical Team that Saved Her Life!
It was a special moment when cardiac patient Eileen Horning returned to thank life saving Drs. Ramesh Brahmbhatt and David McConoughey.
A special moment of gratitude took place at University Hospitals St. John Medical Center Monday afternoon when cardiac patient Eileen Horning visited the hospital to say thank you for saving her life in January.
Eileen's visit was sparked by a letter she sent recently asking hospital officials how she could best acknowledge the care she received.
"I wanted to speak with someone regarding how it would be possible for me to thank both the attending Emergency Room Doctor, David McConoughey and Cardiologist, Dr. Ramesh Brahmbhatt for saving my life early morning of January 31," wrote Eileen to the hospital's Chief Medical Officer Atul Hulyalkar, MD.
"Both Doctors were outstanding in determining a diagnosis of Tamponade (fluid around the heart) and treating me in the Cath lab, relieving the pressure and eliminating a fatal condition. My heart was being crushed by the amount of fluid that had developed around my heart," reported Eileen.
"I am not aware how often after a patient leaves the emergency room that an attending physician ever knows what the final outcome is with their patient they treated." UH St. John Medical Center cardiac patient Eileen Horning changed all that Monday with a surprise visit to the UH St. John ED. Pictured are (from left) Dr. Brahmbhatt, Dr. McConoughey, Dave Horning, Dr. Narichania, Penny Evans, Lois Barner (mother of patient and former volunteer at UH St. John), Eileen Horning and Dr. Hulyalkar.
A surprise meeting was set up Monday in the ED where Drs. McConoughey and Brahmbhatt were reunited with their former patient.
Stephen Evans, MD, President UH St. John Medical Staff, presents Drs. Brahmbhatt and McConoughey with the hospitals VIP (Very Important Physician) Award.
"It was a blessing to be able to help you," said Dr. McConoughey. "It was all teamwork," added Dr. Brahmbhatt as they exchanged embraces with the grateful patient.
Both physicians were presented with VIP awards by Stephen Evans, MD, President, UH St. John Medical Staff. "This award is something that is long overdue to our physicians," he said. "We call it the VIP award because that is what you are, Very Important Physicians."
The sentiments of both doctors were echoed by Dr. Hulyalkar, who once again credited the excellence of care to the entire UH St. John and University Hospitals continuum of treatment, including the cath lab team and ED nurses.
"If it were not for the immediate action of both Dr. McConoughey and Dr. Brahmbhatt and their staff in the early morning of January 31, I know that I would not have gotten to UH Cleveland," reports Eileen.
It was there that Dr. Judith Mackall repaired the heart condition which led to her cardiac tamponade – pressure on the heart that occurs when blood or fluid builds up in the space between the heart muscle and the outer covering sac of the heart – with a corrected pacemaker placement.
Associate Chief Medical Officer Dilip Narichania, MD, Chief Medical Officer Atul Hulyalkar, MD, David McConoughey, DO, Eileen Horning, Ramesh Brahmbhatt, MD, and Stephen Evans, MD.
"I am not aware how often after a patient leaves the emergency room that an attending physician ever knows what the final outcome is with their patient they treated," said Eileen.
"But I would appreciate the chance to let both Doctors know how grateful I am to have had a third chance at life in such a short period of time.
"If there is a recognition program at St John Medical Center, I would like to recommend both these Doctors. My stars were aligned on January 31 and I am so blessed these two doctors treated me," said Eileen.

Фа́мке Бёмер Я́нссен (; род. , Амстелвен, Нидерланды) — нидерландская и американская актриса, фотомодель, кинорежиссёр, сценарист и продюсер. Наиболее известна в роли Ксении Онатопп в фильме «Золотой глаз» и Джин Грей в серии фильмов о Людях Икс — «Люди Икс», «Люди Икс 2», «Люди Икс: Последняя битва», «Росомаха: Бессмертный» и «Люди Икс: Дни минувшего будущего».

Биография
Родилась 5 ноября 1965 года в Амстелвене (Нидерланды).

В начале своей модельной карьеры переехала в США, где работала на Дом моды Ива Сен-Лорана, одновременно обучаясь актёрскому искусству в Колумбийском университете. Первые её появления на экране были связаны с телевидением: была приглашённой актрисой на сериалах «Звёздный путь: следующее поколение» и «Мелроуз-Плейс». После нескольких оставшихся незамеченными ролей на большом экране появилась в роли противницы Джеймса Бонда в фильме «Золотой глаз». Роль одержимой насилием русской убийцы Ксении Онатопп, а также всемирный успех картины Мартина Кэмпбелла принесли актрисе первую громкую известность.

После участия во франшизе об Агенте 007 снялась в нескольких голливудских фильмах, прошедших в прокате с переменным успехом: «Подъём с глубины», «Факультет» (режиссёр Роберт Родригес), «Не говори ни слова» (Фамке играла в нём с Майклом Дугласом), «Дом ночных призраков», «Игра в прятки» (с Робертом Де Ниро) и других. Кроме того, актриса сыграла небольшую роль в богатом на звёздное присутствие фильме Вуди Аллена «Знаменитость». : Фамке сыграла во всех трёх фильмах мутанта Джин Грей (в третьей, заключительной серии — под именем Тёмный Феникс). Её героиня обладает уникальными телекинетическими и телепатическими способностями, погибает во второй серии, однако воскресает в тёмном обличье в заключительной части трилогии.

На телевидении сыграла роль Авы Мур — соблазнительного персонального тренера, искусно манипулирующего сыном одного из главных героев во втором сезоне сериала о пластических хирургах «Части тела». 4 декабря 2005 года за эту роль Янссен удостоилась ежегодной премии журнала Hollywood Life.

В 2006 году снялась в третьем фильме о мутантах «Люди Икс: Последняя битва», а также в военной драме The Four Saints и комедии The Treatment. Кроме того, участвовала в звёздном составе комедии The Ten, рассказывающей десять историй, основанных на десяти христианских заповедях (премьера фильма состоялась в 2007 году).

В 2011 году состоялся дебют в качестве режиссёра в фильме-драме «Плохая мамочка», в котором сыграли такие звёзды, как Милла Йовович, Билл Пуллман и Марсия Кросс.
В этом фильме она также выступила автором сценария и продюсером.

Abstract: First paragraph: There is a substantial amount of "strong language" in education. By "strong language," I mean to refer to language that depicts education as something that is,or has the potential to be, secure and effective - for example, where the aim is to establish a strong and secure connection between educational "inputs" and educational "outcomes." This is, for example, the language of educational effectiveness: the language of effective schools, effective teaching, strong leadership, and teacherproof curricula. It is also the language that can be found in the ambition to turn education into an evidence-based profession that is based upon definite knowledge about "what works."


Science is fun, interesting, captivating, active and inspiring!
At Key Stage 3 we aim to challenge, enthuse and inspire our pupils to study Science at GCSE, AS/A2 level and beyond.
In Year8 and 9 Science is taught in 5 periods per week as a combined course. In Year 10 pupils are taught the three sciences separately by subject specialists. Each subject is timetabled for 2 periods per week. Our courses embrace the Northern Ireland Revised curriculum in helping pupils to develop their Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities. Pupils cover a broad base of topics including Cells, Kinetic Theory, Energy, Reproduction, Classification, Diet and Digestion, Electricity, Magnetism, Respiration and Acids. Each year, Think Differently provide engaging interactive workshops on Forces and Chemical Reactions for Year 8 and 9 pupils. One highlight in Year 8 is the Annual Science Egg Race when pupils design and build contraptions from junk to solve a specific problem.
Year 10 Chemistry gives an introduction to many of the topics met at GCSE.

Richard Corben's BLOODSTAR
Filed under: Uncategorized — 4 Comments
Cover of the '79 Ariel Books edition of BLOODSTAR
I find the fantastic work of Richard Corben endlessly inspiring. Tonight I dug out my cherished copy of BLOODSTAR and treated myself to a re-read. This classic tale of post-apocalypse sword and sorcery is a great example of why Corben is a legend.
BLOODSTAR is an adaptation of my favorite Robert E. Howard story, "Valley of the Worm," but it is so much more than that. One of the first true graphic novels ever published, it originally saw print in 1976 and was reprinted in 1979 (I have the '79 edition from Ariel Books). Rather than doing a straight adaptation of Howard's "Worm," Corben and his collaborator John Jakes crafted a longer, more detailed story and wove Howard's tale into their own creation.
Whereas Howard's tale is set in the primordial age of humankind, BLOODSTAR tells that same story as the "Act 3" of a drama that occurs in the distant future, after mankind has been driven back into the stone age by a cosmic catastrophe. This is actually quite fitting, however, as Howard intended his original story of Niord the Worm-Slayer as an archetypal monster-slaying legend that was played out again and again through history. So it makes a kind of weird sense that the story would play out in the far future as well.
Howard's barbarian character Niord is renamed Bloodstar, and he's given a much richer history in this tale of tribal warfare, jealousy, vengeance, and primal love. What Corben and Jakes added to Howard's concept was a depth of character for the admittedly savage tribesmen who inhabit the tale.
The story of Bloodstar's heroic self-sacrifice to avenge his slaughtered tribe is told in the form of a flashback by his old friend Grom. Grom is telling the story to Bloodstar the Second, the son of the original hero. Grom reveals how his tribe and Bloodstar's tribe went from war to peace, and how Bloodstar spared his life and became his friend.
Grom's narrative carries through the blossoming romance between Bloodstar and Helva, the chieftain's daughter who is ordained by tribal custom to wed Bloodstar's friend Loknar when he takes on the duties of chieftan. As in any good romance, true love cannot be denied, and the passion between Bloodstar and Helva bursts forth and results in Bloodstar's banishment from the tribe. Helva, Grom, and Bloodstar form a singular family unit in the wilderness and enjoy a peaceful existence and the birth of a son.
When Bloodstar and his family attempt to return to the tribe of Aesir they discover a terrible slaughter. At the same time Helva is abducted and the trail leads to the cursed valley where Grom's people believe a demon called the King of Northern Abyss dwells.
Without giving away the plot, which is far more intricate than you might expect from a sword and sorcery book inspired by 30s pulp and retooled in the mid-70s, let me say that the final confrontation with the hideous, Lovecraftian monstrosity of the cursed valley is the stuff of legend. It is in this confrontation that the adaptation cleaves most closely to Howard's classic tale.
BLOODSTAR has never been reprinted as far as I know, but you can still find copies on eBay and from various comics retailers. If you're a Corben fan, it's a must-own. If you're a Robert E. Howard fan, likewise. And if you haven't yet discovered the genius of Richard Corben, there is no better place to start than BLOODSTAR.
Now, it's time to re-read my way through Corben's other masterpiece, the DEN series.
Al Harron
I'll have to agree to disagree on the idea that Bloodstar is superior to "The Valley of the Worm" – that it's more complex & detailed doesn't necessarily mean it's better – but I will agree it's a very fine book all the same.
John R. Fultz
Hey, Al,
I didn't mean to imply that BLOODSTAR is "superior" to Howard's story — but rather that BLOODSTAR is more than a straightforward adaptation of the tale–it uses "Valley of the Worm" as a seed, if you will, about which grows a more complex tale. I personally feel that the very best adaptation of "Valley of the Worm" was done by Roy Thomas (w), Gil Kane (p), and Ernie Chan (i) in issue #3 of Marvel's SUPERNATURAL THRILLERS comic from 1973. That adaptation is definitely a straightforward take on the tale, i.e. it follows Howard's tale almost to the letter. However, no adaptation is a substitute for the original tale–and "Valley of the Worm" is probably my favorite Howard tale of them all.
Marc Mortinson
Have to agree with you there. If I had to pick a single REH story and single comic based on any REH's works. They are the two. Kane has always been my favorite Conan/REH comic artist. Marvel's Conan the Barbarian #17, "Gods of Bal-Sagoth" was the first Conan comic I ever bought back in the summer of 72′ when I was 13, an in the next few months got all the back issues. having to pay a whopping $24.00 for a 'fine' copy of #1. I had been a ERB Tarzan and his other creations, comic and a little later book reader since I was 6. Having read most everything of his, I was looking for something new. An there it was, the worlds of REH. Any ways, Kane was a guest artist for that issue and #18. Which he would do off and on. His adaption of 'Hour of the Dragon' should also not be missed.
Right on! Kane is legend.

Nick Green comments on Guy Opperman's remarks to the ABI 'Retirement interventions and innovation' conference about Pensions Dashboard.
Nick Green, Head of Standards at Criterion, commented "The DWP Feasibility Report that will set out the framework for quickly establishing a live, working Dashboard capability must also consider the longer term appetite from savers and retirees for this information."

Last week the kids and I went blueberry picking along with their cousins. After spending forty-five minutes picking berries as if it were an Olympic sport, we left the farm with honey sticks and large bags of blueberries.
With visiting family staying with us this week, Abigail wanted to surprise them with a homemade blueberry pie. Selfishly though, I convinced her into making a blueberry crisp instead. I don't know why but I've always preferred berry crisps over pie. Perhaps it's the top layer of crunchy oat topping which complements the sweetened cooked fruit underneath. Truthfully though, at the time we were discussing which one to make, my strong preference for crisp and my lack of enthusiasm for pie, was the only justification I needed to sway Abbi.
The end result was AMAZING. Please make this crisp. Soon. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For anyone who has been following my health saga, I'll talk about it more later this week. Things are improving, thank goodness. But for right now, I will leave you with this recipe for homemade blueberry crisp. Enjoy!
PS: The recipe for homemade vanilla ice cream is coming tomorrow. No eggs needed and only a few ingredients required!
A simple and delicious summer dessert.
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar and flour.
Add the blueberries and lemon juice and gently toss with the sugar. Transfer the blueberries to the prepared baking dish.
In a food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, and butter and pulse the ingredients until it resembles coarse meal. If you don't have a food processor, work the mixture with your fingers by rubbing the ingredients between your thumb, fingers.
Place the mixture in a large sealable plastic bag. Add the oats, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix all the ingredients by sealing the bag and shaking it for a few seconds.
Evenly sprinkle the mixture over the berries.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is slightly brown. Serve the crisp hot or cold with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
there's a mistake in the recipe. if you are mixing the sugar and flour in a bowl but then just tossing the blueberries with the sugar how is that possible if you have already mixed the flour and sugar?
Hello I made this Crisp last weekend with my granddaughter and my family loved it! Can I use the same base recipe with peaches? If so How many pounds and do I need to peel peaches? Please let me know of any adjustments. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Glad you liked it Ruth!
I decided this would be much easier than a Blueberry Pie, Not only was this easier, It was Delicious! also a desert you'd be proud to serve for company! Thanks for making my life a little easier!
Ohh yum, looks fab but it what I would call a Crumble over here in the UK. Just stopping by to say hi from #ONEMums.
Oh my god that looks amazing. That looks like the kind of pudding I'd make, then tell everyone it burnt in the oven so I got to eat it all to myself.
Just gorgeous! I think blueberry crisp is by far the most beautiful of the "crisps"!
I made this last night and OMG! Soooo delicious!!! A must for any blueberry lover… but several other fruits would work well too! anxious to try peaches or apples!
ohh the colour of blueberries.. love it.. wish we got them easily in india!! waiting for the eggless vanilla ice cream recipe!!
Wow!!! That looks and sounds stunning. Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe.
Mmmmm I want this right now!!
I have a TON of blackberries right now, I'll try it with them!
This looks so awesome! I haven't made a blueberry crisp before, but now I simply MUST!
i want this right now!!! i'm so excited to try this as we planted blueberry bushes in our backyard this summer that are producing!!


This must have been a near perfect day for any gardener – a morning spent in the garden under autumn sunshine, listening to a talk by Bob Brown in the afternoon and then buying one of his plants, a plant new to me.
Bob is a most entertaining speaker, full of information, humour and original thoughts and ideas. It was when we got our plant home I first noticed the wording on the bag that held our buddleja. At the top it said "I've found It! and below that "Bob Brown's Nursery" and a nice clear map. If you have ever tries to find his Cotswold Cottage Flowers (www.cgf.net) you will understand the need for the map and the meaning of the comment.
Buddleja "Morning Mist" is a cross between Buddleja crispa and Buddleja loricata. Although these parents are not hardy the cross is reputed to be a good hardy little shrub. It grows into a neat metre high dome with silver foliage which is white on the underside, white soft furry stems and silver flowers with mustard centres. And it is scented with the aroma of honey! And it flowers most months of the year! A perfect plant?
Mustard yellow centres add a sparkle of colour to the beautifully scented flowers. Turn the silver leaves over and the undersides are pure white and covered in gentle white fur.
So, there it is, Buddleja "Morning Mist". could it be the perfect garden plant. We look forward to finding out.

Wagner creates culture of competition at Boyle County
Published 12:41 pm Monday, July 2, 2018
By Matt Overing
When Brent Wagner took the head track and field coaching role at Boyle County, he called his friend Randy Newberry at LaRue County.
"I told him 'I'm going to learn all the rules and regulations, know every detail about every event, that way I'll know everything about all the events,'" Wagner said. "He said, 'great, that's the dumbest thing you can possibly do.' He said that doesn't mean anything. He said, 'how do you get faster in track and field? You go get faster kids.' He said, 'all your focus needs to be on getting athletes.' I said, 'well that makes sense.'"
And that's exactly what Wagner has done.
Wagner has made track and field a powerhouse program at Boyle County: The Rebels have won three straight state championships on the girls side and won their first-ever on the boys side in 2018.
The Rebels will unquestionably be one of the top teams in the state next year, too.
Wagner said winning the Bill Vaught Memorial Coach of the Year award was a huge honor — because the award isn't just about winning.
"It's extremely cool," Wagner said. "Just for the simple fact that it shows that what we've been doing is working. It means a lot that we're making a big impact on kids and the impact that we have is more than just gold medals and running their best, it's an actual impact that we have. We have a moment, a memory that we can impact on someone else's life. That's a big deal, that's huge. We're more than performances, running laps."
When Wagner read what his assistant coaches said in the weekend edition of the Advocate-Messenger, he had one beef with something Seth Tamme said.
"I don't not eat on purpose, I just forget to eat," Wagner laughed. "They ask what I ate today and I really don't know. I don't call it obsessed, I would call it extremely focused."
Tamme joked that Wagner "doesn't eat or sleep," and it's not far from the truth. Wagner's always thinking about how he can make his program better.
"My focus has been building an atmosphere that kids want to be a part of and make it exciting," Wagner said. "I did the whole social media thing in my first year and I got my first follower and said, 'OK. I'm ready.' But I envisioned all this stuff beforehand, now it's just a matter of getting it to where I wanted it to be. I had to act like it was four, five years down the road. You build it with a big vision and do everything you can to get there."
It might've been Wagner who created the atmosphere, but he said it takes his stellar staff of assistants to complete the mission.
"They do so much more of the ins and outs, day to day in their event," Wagner said. "It's competitive with the athletes and the coaching staff, when they do well I give them credit. They take individual pride in their specific points. Every assistant coach I've had, I've looked at them and said, 'OK, this meet is going to come down to you.'"
Wagner's in constant contact with each of his coaches and always has their back. He's all about learning and improving — for himself, his coaches and his team.
"At the end of the day, no coach has won anything without good assistants," he said. "I've been very, very blessed to have these people come into the program and take that pride in wanting to get better. I have total faith and trust in them, I don't have to micromanage everything they do. I'm all about learning lessons, so if they think they need to do a drill or make a drill up, go do it. If they believe in it, I believe in it. I know we're getting better every day. It's awesome, the fact that they have that personal pride in getting their athletes to where they need to be."

Connacht Step Up Preparations For Toulouse Rematch
The Connacht squad trained in Galway yesterday afternoon as the province stepped up their preparations for Saturday evening's Heineken Cup round 4 encounter with Toulouse at the Sportsground (kick-off 6pm).
There were a few sore bodies arising from last Sunday's 16-14 win in Toulouse but most players returned to the session on Tuesday.
A medical examination early in the week confirmed that veteran lock Michael Swift fractured his eye socket during last weekend's game. Connacht's most-capped player (254 caps) has unfortunately been ruled out of action for at least four weeks.
Returning to the fray this week is lock/flanker Aly Muldowney who missed out on the round 3 clash due to injury, while the Galway-born Tiernan O'Halloran has also been declared fit to return to full training this week.
Following the historic result in France, the Connacht Rugby ticket office has been inundated with requests from supporters around the country for the return fixture this Saturday.
And due to the phenomenal demand for tickets, a decision has been made to increase the capacity of the Sportsground stadium – terrances behind the two goalposts will be erected for the marquee fixture.
Tickets sales for the much-anticipated game have now passed the 7,500 mark and only tickets for behind the posts remain. Supporters are encouraged to snap up the few remaining spaces as soon as possible.
Excitement has been building all week at the province and throughout the country as Pat Lam's men prepare to welcome back the four-time European champions for what promises to be the biggest game of the season.
Head of Marketing & Commercial Alex Saul expects the fixture on Saturday evening to be a season highlight, saying: "Sunday's win was a huge injection in the arm in terms of ticket sales. We had already sold out the Clan Stand but the phone has been ringing non-stop since Sunday and it seems no one wants to miss this massive event.
"We want everyone here to get behind the team and are looking forward to an electrifying atmosphere, bigger than what we had two years' ago when Toulouse were last in town."
Remaining tickets can be purchased online from tickets.ie, from the Connacht Rugby office and from Centra & SuperValu stores province-wide. Tickets start at €;30 for adults and €;10 for all juniors.
The Connacht Eagles team made it back-to-back British & Irish Cup victories last Saturday with a 17-8 triumph over Bedford Blues at the Sportsground.
There are no major injury concerns for Nigel Carolan's charges ahead of their return round 4 fixture at Goldington Road this Saturday afternoon (kick-off 2pm).

Based on what I've learned through my research, genetic cloning can have positive and negative outcomes and or benefits. I personally feel as though the benefits of genetic cloning could be very positive but not beneficial enough to chance its risk. It is not fully safe enough to freely implemented. Rules and regulations should be set on who can experiment with cloning until it's been tested and fully understood. Cloning is expensive and highly inefficient. More than 90% of cloning attempts fail to produce viable offspring according to "Genome". More than 100 nuclear transfer procedures could be required to produce one living clone. In addition to low success rates, cloned animals tend to have higher rates of infection, tumour growth, and other disorders. This can be very dangerous to humans. These risk are not worth it. The chance of people losing their lives is not nearly worth the possibility of cloning.

Latest review: Little Women - Dear Louisa May Alcott, Author
By Di Golding
Mailed on December 18, 2017
Dear Hannah Caldwell
Dear Hannah,
We can't help where we were born. Like our gender, race, socio-economic status, or generation, it's one of the fundamental truths over which we have absolutely no control. Many of us, myself included, couldn't wait to leave the place we grew up and start exploring the world. It often isn't until years later (and usually with some physical distance) that we begin to feel a begrudging respect for the community we came from, a kind of affection for the places and people that unknowingly shaped us.
I'm not sure where you grew up, but I imagine if you were tasked with scouting locations for Lady Bird that you have more than just a passing knowledge of Sacramento, California. This is the type of coming-of-age story that could have been set anywhere, and yet had to be set there. It is universal while remaining weirdly specific to its writer/director Greta Gerwig who, in her first time out of the gate, establishes herself as a confident and intuitive 21st century American filmmaker.
Lady Bird opens on a Joan Didion quote about Sacramento, which frankly, worried me. Not the quote itself, but the choice to open on a Didion quote. Anything that comes after must know exactly what it is or risk appearing precious at best, or pompous at worst. The particular quote deflates the assumption that California is a bastion of hedonism and excitement when in reality, Sacramento, as a place, proves quite the opposite. The quote perfectly sets the unselfconsciously comic tone for the entire film. So much so that using Didion quotes to open movies should be retired after Lady Bird.
Sacramento, a place full of southwest suburban blandness and mundane beauty, is where the not-so-titular Lady Bird lives, and longs to escape. We meet Christine (AKA Lady Bird) at the beginning of her senior year of high school in 2002, a year that feels recent, and though somehow – without smartphones or social media dependences, and under the backdrop of the nascent War on Terror – feels like a lifetime ago. Christine's personality is too big for Sacramento, and possibly too big for her own house. Like most teenagers, she is the center of her own universe, much to the chagrin of her strong-willed mother, Marion. The heart of the film beats on the precariousness of their relationship.
Much like last year's coming-of-age-period-piece 20thCentury Women (which also starred Gerwig), the parental figures are given as much depth and nuance as the central, teen characters. And like that film, Lady Bird lives and dies on its performances. Saoirse Ronan, perhaps the most naturally, unaffected actor of her generation, is equal turns endearing and enraging, and understands instinctively that any move too far to either end of that spectrum would make her character insufferable. Laurie Metcalfe, consistently singular in any role, is heartbreaking as Marion, who, like most mothers of teen daughters, is damned if she does and damned if she doesn't give her absolute all to her child. Keeping the two from emotional annihilation is the always underrated Tracy Letts, as the patriarch of the family caught between two forces of nature.
One particular scenario involves Christine self-defensively joking about living on the wrong side of the tracks from Sacramento's "Fabulous 40s ", a well-to-do neighbourhood made up of elegant, picturesque homes. It's a joke that, like much of Christine's self-serving behaviour and flippant remarks, cuts Marion to the core. It's these types of seemingly insignificant comments and actions – particularly between family members - that fester and become slow-burning resentments that eventually explode, leaving everyone burned.
Gerwig understands the intense drama in these tiny moments, and lets them build organically. These are the moments that inform entire relationships, dictating their future, and influencing how we remember the past. Moments that take place on a country road, a cramped kitchen, or a thrift store change room - places that seem meaningless or banal at the time yet somehow shape who we will become.
As you drove around Sacramento, finding these particular places, perhaps you didn't realize their import at the time. No one knows when they're making a movie whether it's going to work or not. The same can be said for building a life – one is rarely presently conscious of how certain circumstances will affect the outcome of their future. It's often only later when we realize that where we're from has a direct influence on where we're going, for better or for worse. In this case, for the better.

When Russia launched its open and brutal attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Finland immediately realized that the security environment had fundamentally changed overnight.
Finland and Sweden in NATO: Completing the Mare Nostrum
In the next few months Finland and Sweden will likely become the 31st and 32nd members of NATO. What kind of Allies will they be, and what will this mean for the security of the Nordic-Baltic region?
Finland and Sweden Do Not Have the 'NATO Option' They Think They Have
Finland and Sweden do not have a fast track to join NATO. If they apply for membership, they must be able to show they can meet NATO's political, military, legal, resource and security preconditions, or at least have a plan to address any obvious shortfalls.
Partner Involvement in NATO Core Business
Occasionally, suggestions are aired about the potential participation of partner nations in NATO activities that are directly related to the Alliance's core task of collective defence.
The Coronavirus Crisis Has Brought New Realism to Estonian-Finnish Relations
In the Covid-19 crisis, the Finnish government took its decisions based on the national interest and considering the wellbeing of its citizens.

"Ever since Finland joined the EU in 1995 it has always advocated the EU unity, because it helps Finland to withstand Russian pressure. So, it is very logical that Finland is taking these perhaps extremist steps to defend EU unity and values, because Hungary is clearly dismantling the EU unity and that, of course, is beneficial for Russia," Erkki Bahovski, editor-in-chief of ICDS Diplomaatia magazine commented on the Hungarian-Finnish row to the Serbian daily newspaper Danas.
Summary, Estonian Opinion Festival 2019: Global Power Struggle, Europe in the New World Order, New Threats
Estonia's role in the world is not only related to our geographical location, instead, our future is increasingly shaped by global developments. Who will become a global superpower? What will be the position of Europe in the new world order – and Estonia's place in that Europe? How should we face the new threats surrounding us? Is NATO the only answer?


Business failure is hard to swallow. I once founded a small software business that initially achieved some success but failed after we hooked-up with another software business whose products we introduced to our market. We failed because there were no synergies, their technology sucked (Intersolv - formerly Sage Software) and we simply did not change course.
"The best recommendation tools perform a balancing act: They connect to consumers' sense of individuality as well as their group identification. Similarly, the tools must come up with recommendations that stretch horizons with suggestions that are new and a bit surprising, yet not off-putting. Recommendation approaches vary in how much access to the "long tail" of niche or obscure products they provide. Most recommendation engines offer a balance of the familiar and the unexplored."

Trump drops new N.Korea sanctions because he 'likes' Kim: White House
President abruptly announces cancellation of measures imposed by his own Treasury Department; Democrats blast 'foolish naivete' and 'gross incompetence'
By AFP	22 March 2019, 11:06 pm 1 Edit
US President Donald Trump, left, shakes hands with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un following a meeting at the Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel in Hanoi on February 27, 2019. (Saul LOEB/AFP)
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump on Friday abruptly announced the cancellation of sanctions imposed by his own Treasury Department to tighten international pressure on North Korea.
"It was announced today by the US Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea. I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!" Trump said in a tweet.
He appeared to be referring to measures unveiled Thursday that targeted two Chinese companies accused of helping North Korea to evade tight international sanctions meant to pressure Pyongyang into ending its nuclear weapons program.
They were the first new sign of pressure since talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un broke down in Hanoi less than a month ago. However, Trump, who has previously spoken of "love" for the totalitarian leader, appears to retain hope that his strong personal relationship will bear fruit.
It was announced today by the U.S. Treasury that additional large scale Sanctions would be added to those already existing Sanctions on North Korea. I have today ordered the withdrawal of those additional Sanctions!
"President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn't think these sanctions will be necessary," the president's spokeswoman, Sarah Sanders, said.
Adam Schiff, a Democrat who heads the intelligence committee in the House of Representatives, blasted Trump for cancelling sanctions "imposed only yesterday and championed by his own national security adviser, because he 'loves' Kim."
"Foolish naivete is dangerous enough. Gross incompetence and disarray in the White House make it even worse," Schiff tweeted.
On Thursday, Trump national security adviser John Bolton had tweeted that the sanctions were meant to put an end to "illicit shipping practices" by North Korea.
"Everyone should take notice and review their own activities to ensure they are not involved in North Korea's sanctions evasion," he said.
China complained, saying that it did enforce all UN resolutions and opposed "any country imposing unilateral sanctions and taking long-arm jurisdiction against any Chinese entity according to their own domestic laws."
This was Trump's second major, unexpected foreign policy announcement by Twitter in two days. On Thursday, he sent a tweet reversing decades of US policy and pledged to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the hotly contested Golan Heights border area with Syria.

Emily Larkin
It's no secret that my least favourite trope is the one in which the heroine passes herself off as a man. I find it too difficult to believe that nobody would notice she wasn't one, even within the idealised setting of a romantic novel. That's not to say that some authors haven't managed to pull it off with a reasonable degree of success; most recently, Eva Leigh made a good job of it in Forever Your Earl, by having the heroine be as aware as the reader of the difficulty of a woman pretending to be a man and making others believe it and went on to use the premise to make some insightful social comment.
In Unmasking Miss Appleby, Emily Larkin goes one step further than disguising her heroine by the use of theatrical costume and make-up; she has her heroine able to actually transform herself into a man by virtue of a magical power bestowed upon her.
Okay, okay – I completely recognise the incongruity of saying I find it hard to believe in a woman simply dressing as a man, but I'll go along with a woman who can turn into one. But it's a very clever idea, because once that fantastical premise is accepted, Ms. Larkin is able to create the sort of easy friendship between her protagonists that would not have been at all possible between a man and a woman, and can allow her heroine to see and hear things and to go to places a female of the time would never have been allowed to see, hear or visit. Even with that said, though, had the story not been well-thought out and well-written I would probably not have been able to accept the magical element so readily, but as it stands, the plot is well-developed, the romance is delicious, and it all adds up to a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable read.
Charlotte Appleby was orphaned at twelve and taken in by relatives who proceeded to use her as an unpaid tutor and governess for their children and then as a general dogsbody. She is resigned to a future of drudgery because there is no other course open to her; the prospect of working as a governess or companion does not appeal, and the jobs which do, and which will provide a good income are those open only to men. She has no money and nowhere else to go, and at her age and with no dowry, marriage is extremely unlikely. But on the day of her twenty-fifth birthday all that changes when she returns to her room to discover a strange woman sitting there. The woman explains that she's a Faerie and that, owing to a good deed performed by one of Charlotte's ancestors for one of the Fey (as detailed in The Fey Quartet of prequel novellas), Charlotte is offered the choice of a number of different, fantastical gifts. She could have the ability to fly, to foretell the future or read minds, for instance – but after thinking it through quickly she opts for the ability to transform her appearance at will, assured that such metamorphosis applies only to her exterior and that she will remain herself inside.
Charlotte proceeds to turn herself into Mr. Christopher Albin and secures employment with Marcus Langford, the Earl of Cosgrove, whose secretary was badly injured when they were set upon in the street just days earlier. Cosgrove is a widower whose beautiful wife is known to have cuckolded him, and who continues to be the subject of gossip by those who suspect him of having mistreated her, and perhaps even of murdering her. In the months since her death, he has been the subject of an anonymous hate campaign; the windows of his London home are repeatedly smashed, piles of excrement are deposited on his doorstep, and now it seems as though someone is out to do him bodily harm, as the attack on him and his secretary was not simply the work of opportunist footpads.
Cosgrove is also an active member of parliament who takes his responsibilities very seriously and who is an avid and vocal supporter of the abolitionist movement. Thus, the field of suspects as to who could be behind the attacks upon him is fairly large – is it political opponents or his late wife's brother, who has never scrupled to make clear his intense dislike? Or could it be his dissolute cousin and heir, a young man who lives well beyond his means and expects Marcus to fund his gambling, drinking and whoring habits?
The relationship that develops between the earl and his young secretary is rather delightful. Marcus takes Albin under his wing in an older brother-ish kind of way, and their burgeoning friendship allows Charlotte an insight into the male mind in a way she could never have gained as a woman. Marcus talks to Albin frankly about sex, takes him to a brothel (not as a patron, I hasten to add!), says what he thinks, swears and generally behaves as he would with any male acquaintance, which is all very liberating for Charlotte. And she gets to see how the other half lives, to experience the freedom and confidence afforded simply by virtue of possessing a penis.
The problem, of course, is that that particular appendage starts to sit up and take notice whenever her handsome employer is around, and Charlotte is terrified that he'll notice and throw her out on her ear. She's never before experienced feelings of arousal or desire and isn't sure what to do – all she knows is that she has to find a way to conquer them. Remembering an offhand remark Cosgrove made about a man's need to sometimes scratch an itch, she embarks upon a bold course of action in an attempt to get him out of her system so that she can continue to work alongside him. I don't want to give too much away, but the romance works beautifully, and Ms. Larkin does a terrific job of showing (not just telling) Marcus gradually falling for Charlotte (in her true form) through a series of meetings that begin as one thing and end as another. Marcus is a gorgeous, sexy hero who positively shines throughout the story as a man of action, intelligence and principle, and Charlotte plays her dual role admirably; an excellent foil, friend and sounding board as Albin, and the woman with whom Marcus seeks comfort, tenderness and pleasure as herself.
The two main plotlines – the romance and the search for who is seeking to destroy Marcus – are very well integrated, with no sudden shifts in tone or strained contrivances. And while the fantasy element to the story is fairly low key, the author doesn't just forget it once she's embedded Charlotte as Albin; the ability to transform her appearance plays an important part in the search for Cosgrove's enemies. The one thing I'd take issue with is how easily Cosgrove accepts Albin's ability to turn into various animals, but given everything that's happened up to that point and how much stress he's under, I guess he can be allowed a metaphorical shrug and to accept the help that his secretary's strange gift allows.
Emily Larkin (who has also written as Emily May and Emily Gee) writes with a great deal of elegance and perception, and has crafted an unusual and charming story to kick off her new Baleful Godmother series. If you're looking for a high-concept fantasy romance, then pass on by, because this isn't it. But if you're after an emotionally satisfying, quirky and sensual romance, then I'd say this is definitely worth your time. I'm certainly going to be looking out for the next book in the series, and Unmasking Miss Appleby is now securely tucked onto my keeper shelf.

I admit I was looking sideways at it when I read the blurb, but I've enjoyed Ms. Larkin's work in the past and knew that the book would at the very least be well-written. Fortunately, it's a lot more than that 🙂

O.J. Simpson Lawyer Calls Florida AG 'Stupid B—'
Alberto LuperonOct 2nd, 2017, 6:13 pm
O.J. Simpson's lawyer had…choice words for Florida's attorney general.
"What a complete stupid b—. F— her," Malcolm LaVergne said about Pam Bondi on Monday in an interview with The Tampa Bay Times. "She has zero standing to even talk about Mr. Simpson's case. She's the attorney general, she has nothing to do with it. It's virtually a foregone conclusion that Simpson will be moving to Florida when he chooses and once Nevada approves it. That's handled by the Nevada Division of Parole and Florida department of corrections, not the attorney general."
This stems from Bondi's resistance against Simpson coming to Florida. Simpson was released on parole from a Nevada prison on Sunday after serving 9 years of a 33 years sentence. The former NFL player, who became infamous after his 1995 trial and acquittal for murdering ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, has plans to move to Florida, where he once lived. But he can't simply go. He will serve up to 5 years of supervised release, and if he wants to cross state lines, he'll need to request a transfer under the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision.
Bondi wanted him out of the Sunshine State, writing the Florida Department of Corrections on Friday that they should deny his request for a transfer. But as she mentioned in her letter, the FDC can still let Simpson into the state under Rule 3.101 of the Interstate Compact. It gives him all the leverage he needs to move across state lines, especially if a relative living in Florida supports him (two of his children are residents of St. Petersburg).
In Monday's interview, LaVergne claimed Bondi was just trying to score political points. The AG's office denied that claim.
"This is about a career prosecutor who has handled parole hearings in Florida for 20 years and a violent criminal trying to move to our state," spokeswoman Whitney Ray told The Times in an emailed statement. "As chief legal officer it is the Attorney General's duty to protect the citizens of Florida … The Attorney General remains in constant contact with FDC regarding the matter. "
LaVergne, whose Twitter account has since tweeted a link to the Times story, told the outlet that Simpson has plans to live in Nevada possibly the next several months before requesting a move to Florida.

There are different types of Popups. The first type is a new browser window opened using the window.open() function. Such types of Popup windows were overused and exploited by many websites during the earlier days of the web. This resulted in the later versions of browsers blocking popup windows. Eventually, popup windows became almost extinct now. Automatically opening popup windows is considered a very bad practice.

Q: Most general $2$ linear map $(\mathbb{C}^2)^2\to \mathbb{C}^2$ Which is most general $2$ linear map
$$
\phi(v_1,v_2)=a(v_{1,1},v_{1,2},v_{2,1},v_{2,2})e_1
+b(v_{1,1},v_{1,2},v_{2,1},v_{2,2})e_2,
$$
where $v_1,v_2\in\mathbb{C}^2$, and $e_1,e_2$ is the standard basis of $\mathbb{C}^2$?
By applying linearity and using differentiation, I see that $a$ and $b$ can at most be linear in $v_{1,1},v_{1,2},v_{2,1},v_{2,2}$ separately
$$
\phi(v_1,v_2)=\sum_{i,j} v_{1,i}v_{2,i}\phi(e_i,e_j)
$$

What are the most general expression for $a$ and $b$ for $\phi$ to be $2$-linear?

EDIT 1.  Example
$$
\phi(v_1,v_2)=v_1-2v_2,\\
\psi(v_1,v_2):=\phi(v_1,v_2)-\phi(v_2,v_1) =3v_1-3v_2\\
\psi\left(v_1,v_2\right)
=3(v_{1,1}v_{2,2}-v_{1,2}v_{2,1})\left(e_1 - e_2 \right)
=3\det\big(v_1;v_2\big)\left(e_1 - e_2 \right).
$$
in this example the coefficients are a product of the components
EDIT 2.
\begin{align*}
&\psi\left(v_1,v_2\right)
=\psi\left(v_{1,1}e_1+v_{1,2}e_2 , v_{2,1}e_1+v_{2,2}e_2 \right)\\
&=v_{1,1}v_{2,1}\psi\left(e_1 , e_1 \right)
+v_{1,1}v_{2,2}\psi\left(e_1 , e_2 \right)
+v_{1,2}v_{2,1}\psi\left(e_2 , e_1 \right)
+v_{1,2}v_{2,2}\psi\left(e_2 , e_2 \right)\\
&=(v_{1,1}v_{2,2}-v_{1,2}v_{2,1})\psi\left(e_1 , e_2 \right)
=3(v_{1,1}v_{2,2}-v_{1,2}v_{2,1})\left(e_1 - e_2 \right)\\
&=3\det\big(v_1;v_2\big)\left(e_1 - e_2 \right).
\end{align*}
$e_1=(1,0)^T$, $e_2=(0,1)^T$, $v_i=(v_{i,1},v_{i,2})^T$

A: Any linear map between finite dimensional vector spaces can be expressed by matrix multiplication (from the left, if vectors are coordinated into columns).
In this case, $a$ and $b$ are linear maps $\Bbb C^4\to\Bbb C$, and by letting
$$a_{11}:=a(1,0,0,0),\ \ a_{12}:=a(0,1,0,0),\ \ a_{21}:=a(0,0,1,0),\ \ a_{22}:=a(0,0,0,1)$$
linearity ensures that
$$a(v_{11},\,v_{12},\,v_{21},\,v_{22})=v_{11}a_{11}+v_{12}a_{12}+v_{21}a_{21}+v_{22}a_{22}\,,$$
in other words, $a$ must be a fixed linear combination of its input coordinates.

USDJPY has found a strong resistance obstacle around the 40-day simple moving average (SMA) over the last couple of days after the jump above the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level of the downleg from the 11-month high of 114.55 and the 10-month low of 104.64, around 109.60. Currently, the pair is in a bullish correction mode following the rebound on the 104.64 support level on January 3, but the technical indicators seem to be in confusion.
Looking at the momentum indicators, the stochastic oscillator is turning lower and is in progress to post a bearish crossover within the %K and %D lines, while the RSI indicator is flattening near the neutral threshold of 50. However, the MACD oscillator is rising in the negative territory around the zero line. According to the SMAs, the 20-SMA is moving higher, approaching the 40-SMA for a bullish crossover in the near term.
The price is currently knocking on the door for the 110.00 handle and if there is a successful attempt above this barrier it would open the door for the 110.35 resistance level. More advances could turn the focus on the 61.8% Fibonacci mark of 110.75, before extending bullish pressures until the next resistance of 111.40.
A reversal to the downside below the 50.0% Fibonacci and the 20-day SMA could find support at the 38.2% Fibonacci region, which overlaps with the 108.40 hurdle. If the latter fails to halt bearish movements, the next target could be at the 107.80 low, identified by the bottom on January 10.
Turning to the long-term picture, the outlook is neutral over the past year and only a decisive close above 114.55 could resume the bullish picture. On the other hand, a significant decline below January's trough of 108.10 could shift the outlook to bearish.


I am anticipating a very busy weekend. In fact, starting tonight I have several things to do with regard to my blogging "career". First on my list is the write-up on the blogger's event I attended last night. I've been meaning to join to some contests/giveaways shared by my blogger friends, too. an anodyne makes you feel good...what??? gah! my fingers are too tired to type already but I really have to work hard to earn extra bucks. My son will be celebrating his birthday next month and there are lots of get together coming up.
That's all for now, happy weekend everyone!!!

Genesis 28:21-22, Leviticus 27:30-31, Numbers 18:26, Deutoronomy 14:28-29, Malachi 3:7-8: the practice of tithing – giving a tenth of all things back to God is an obligation.
Exodus 22:29-30, 23:19: we are to give the firstfruits to God as recognition that he is the giver of all things.
Mark 10:17-31: the rich young man is unable to obey Jesus' instructions to sell his wealth and follow Him.
All wealth ultimately belongs to God – we are always stewards, never owners. Natural resources are God's gift to humankind (Genesis 1 & 2) and only He enables us to use those resources to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). We should therefore be generous givers (Job 31:16-28, Proverbs 3:9-10, 27-28, Luke 10:29-37, 19:1-10) and wise stewards (Genesis 41:46-57, Luke 16:1-13).
Greed (the accumulation of wealth for selfish purposes) damages society and fails to deliver contentment. Since all wealth ultimately belongs to God we are not to be greedy (Mark 7:20-23, 1 Corinthians 5:10) or exploit others for our own gain (Jeremiah 22:13-17, Amos 5:11-12, 6:4-6). If we do strive after material wealth, we will be disappointed (Proverbs 8:10-11, 23:4-5, Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:6, Mark 4:18-19, Luke 12:13-21).
God's people, individually and collectively, are to respond to his grace by giving and sharing all they have. Those who are in Christ should be willing to forego all material wealth for the sake of God's kingdom (Matthew 13:44-46, Mark 8:31-38, 10:17-31, Luke 14:28-33). Collectively, this looks like sharing and selling as other Christians have need (Acts 2:42-47, 4:32-37, James 2:14-17), creating a community in which rich and poor are treated equally (James 2:1-7) and giving freely and joyfully to support the local and global church (1 Corithians 9:3-18, 2 Corinthians 8-9, Galatians 6:6, 1 Timothy 5:17-18).
Q.1.1 How does God enable people to be wealthy and to prosper?
God gives the ability to produce wealth – Deut. 8:10-18: the ability to produce wealth is a gift from God.
Q.1.2 Why does God make people wealthy and prosperous? What is the purpose and meaning of wealth?
1. A sign of His covenant – Deut. 28:1-68: material prosperity as a sign of God's covenant blessings, material poverty as part of the punishment for breaking that covenant.
God to be praised by all nations - 1 Kings 10: the riches of Solomon lead the Queen of Sheba to praise God.
Restoration - Job 42:10-16: the restoration of God's blessing includes material wealth.
For bad times - Genesis 41:46-57: Joseph stores up an extraordinary abundance of grain in the seven fat years, in order that Egypt and his own family do not starve.
Worship God by practice of tithing - Genesis 28:21-22, Leviticus 27:30-31, Numbers 18:26, Deuteronomy 14:28-29, Malachi 3:7-8: the practice of tithing – giving a tenth of all things back to God is an obligation.
Trusting God and being thankful by giving the first fruits - Exodus 22:29-30, 23:19: we are to give the first fruits to God as recognition that he is the giver of all things.
Our duty is to help our stricken neighbour - Luke 10:29-37, James 1:27 - we have a duty to help our stricken neighbour with generosity.
DSP1: All wealth comes from God ultimately belongs to him – we are always stewards, never owners. Natural resources are God's gift to humankind (Genesis 1 & 2) and only he enables us to use those resources to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). We should therefore be generous givers (Job 31:16-28, Proverbs 3:9-10, 27-28, Luke 10:29-37, 19:1-10) and wise stewards (Genesis 41:46-57, Luke 16:1-13).
Q.2.1 What are the signs of idolatry of wealth?
Striving after wealth - Proverbs 23:4-5: the stupidity of striving after wealth.
Whom do you serve? - Matthew 6:24: you cannot serve both God and money. Serving money is accumulating for tomorrow because of our worries about the future.
Q.2.2 What are the consequences of idolatry of wealth?
Deceitfulness - Mark 4:18-19; James 5:1-6.
Criticism of the rich and their practices –their hoarding, self-indulgence, and failure to pay wages are equated to the condemnation and murder of innocents - James 5:1-6.
DSP2: Greed (the accumulation of wealth for selfish purposes) damages society and fails to deliver contentment. Since all wealth ultimately belongs to God we are not to be greedy (Mark 7:20-23, 1 Corinthians 5:10) or exploit others for our own gain (Jeremiah 22:13-17, Amos 5:11-12, 6:4-6). If we do strive after material wealth, we will be disappointed (Proverbs 8:10-11, 23:4-5, Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:6, Mark 4:18-19, Luke 12:13-21).
Q.3.1 What are the origins of Poverty?
Q.3.2 What are the solutions to poverty?
Every individual has responsibility for others, and that is linked to the community.
DSP3: The existence of poverty is the result of our individual and collective brokenness, not God's failure to provide. God will provide sufficient resources so that there need be no poor among us, and yet poverty will always be with us (Deuteronomy 15:1-11, Mark 14:7). Both through individual actions (Luke 16:19-31) and social structures (1 Samuel 8:11-18) we perpetuate the economic inequalities that lead to poverty.
As others had need - Acts 2:42-47, 4:32-37: the early church is described as selling possessions and sharing.
Q.4.2 Why should we give and share?
Q.4.3 How should we give?
Secretly, not for the praise of others - Matthew 6:2-5.
Give anything we have that we do not need, to those who lack what they need- Luke 3:11.

Q: next_/previous_post_link() `in_same_category` appears to fail when true I'm using the Modernize theme's custom Portfolio type page. In the single-portfolio.php template, I call next_ and previous_post_link(), which correctly display links when in_same_category is set to false, but when set to true they are blank.
There are other pages in the same category as the page currently being viewed, though some pages may belong to multiple categories.
Did I miss something obvious?
This shows the following link:
<?php
previous_post_link('

%link
', '%title', false);
next_post_link('
%link

', '%title', false);

This does not show the following link:
<?php
previous_post_link('

%link
', '%title', true);
next_post_link('
%link

', '%title', true);

However, after looking a little more, I wonder if multiple category taxonomies might be playing a role in this. I can't think of another reason for this not to behave as expected correctly than incorrectly configured categories.
