The West Seattle Log House Museum is in the Alki Beach area. The museum is the home of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. The society collects historical records for Southwest Seattle ranging from items gifted by the local Duwamish tribe to current residents.
We would like to acknowledge that Seattle is on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
Activities near the West Seattle Log House Museum
The Log House Museum is a block from Alki Beach. This places it near the many sights on Alki Beach:
Alki Beach is a sand and cobble beach that brings in many people in the summer time. It is a good place to relax and explore tide pools. It also has good views of the Olympic and Cascade Mountains over Puget Sound.
Denny Party Landing Site
The first landing site for the Europeans who founded Seattle was on Alki Beach. It is marked by an obelisk in Alki Beach Park.
Seattle Statue of Liberty
A replica of the Statue of Liberty in Alki Beach Park is a good place to meet people. The statue was donated by the Boy Scouts in 1952. It is one of around 200 replicas of the Statue of Liberty installed by the Boy Scouts.
Seattle's Founding
Human settlements have been found in Seattle going back 4000 years. The Duwamish people inhabited the Seattle area when the European Denny Party arrived in 1851. The Duwamish tribe still maintains a longhouse and cultural center near the Duwamish river.
The Denny Party lived at Alki Point for a year. They then moved to what is now Downtown Seattle in 1852. They named their settlement Seattle after the chieftain of the Duwamish people at the time.
Log House Museum
Rustic architecture uses simple local materials and building methods. It was a popular style in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. It is famous for its use in the United States' national parks.
The building the Log House Museum is in was built in 1902 as the carriage house for a mansion. It is designed in the rustic style. It used Douglas Fir logs from the local site. It also has a fireplace and chimney built from beach stone.

In the health care market, the more education you complete, the more demand there is for your skills. Right now, there is an incredible demand for nurses with continued nursing education nursing degrees. Here are five upgrades for your nursing education that can help you advance up the career ladder.
However, the majority of new registered nurses (RNs) today come from lower-level programs such as associate or diploma programs. Tuition costs and timing play a central role in the number of lower-level nurses entering the job force each year.
If you are a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or a nurse with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and would like to upgrade your nursing education, do not despair! A large number of working nurses eventually decide to go back to school and upgrade their nursing degrees. The reason is simple. With a higher degree you are more employable, you'll earn a higher salary and you'll have much more freedom to chart your own nursing career path.
To become an RN, you must pass the NCLEX exam in your state after earning an associate's or bachelor's degree in nursing. If you opt for the former, simply go back to a technical school or community college for another year to earn an associate's degree, then take the exam.
The other way is to enter an LPN-to-BSN program. Some colleges have special programs which will allow you to get credit for some of your prior courses, and then go on to earn a BSN degree and become an RN.
If you already have a nursing license (having earned a diploma or associate's degree) then you could qualify for a special program at many nursing schools that will take less than the normal 4 years to complete your nursing degree. Usually referred to as an RN-to-BSN Program, they are typically oriented toward working nurses who must balance school with their job. They offer flexible schedules and credit for previous experience.
If you have already earned a bachelor's degree but you now want to become an RN and earn a nursing degree, you can enroll in special accelerated programs designed for people like you. These are called Accelerated RN BSN Programs and they take the form of 1 to 2 years of intense training in nursing.
An MSN degree is an 18 to 24 month program that allows a nurse to specialize in a particular area—such as an area of advanced clinical training or research. Some students take on joint degrees in related fields like business administration, public health or hospital administration. Most people working toward an MSN already have a BSN, but there are accelerated programs for diploma nurses (to earn a BSN and MSN in one shot) and for non-nursing college graduates.
Typical requirements for admission into a MSN program include a BSN degree from an accredited nursing school, an RN license, minimum GPA and GRE scores and some period of clinical work experience.
You can earn a doctorate in nursing after completing either a BSN or MSN. Like nurses with master's degrees, nurses with doctoral degrees are expected to have tremendous job demand over the next ten years. These programs prepare nurses for careers in health administration (a PhD is the preferred degree for nursing executives), clinical research and advanced clinical practice. They take from four to six years to complete, so they represent a significant commitment on your part.
In a doctoral nursing degree program everyone receives training in research methods (including statistics and data analysis), education, the history and philosophy of nursing science and leadership skills. But it's up to you to focus in on a specific research area for your degree. Compared to a BSN or MSN, it's important to match your particular interests with those of a particular faculty member.
Professional Nursing Certifications are specialized exams that you can take to prove your expertise in a specific field, beyond the skills required for an RN license. The exams are provided by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The ANCC offers generalist, advanced practice and clinical specialist exams in almost 30 areas.

China's 'Belt and Road' offers Middle East opportunities galore
Ameinfo
in Economy
With an eye on expanding its economic prowess, which could in turn fuel its global agenda, China has been investing billions of dollars on infrastructure development around the world.
The latest pledge of $124 billion was announced at the 'Belt and Road' Summit in Beijing in May. Focusing on trade, telecommunication and infrastructure connectivity and cooperation, the plan is oriented to reviving the ancient Silk Road project linking China to Persia and the Arab world.
The 2013 initiative (also known as One Belt One Road or OBOR) involves the land-based 'Silk Road Economic Belt' and the sea-based '21st Century Maritime Silk Road'. Together, the routes cover more than 60 countries across Asia and Europe via Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia and the Middle East.
Given the scale of the plan (at least $2 trillion) and its expansive reach, the plan offers interesting opportunities for the countries in the Middle East.
To fund this ambitious project, China instituted the New Silk Road Fund with $40 billion and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) contributing $100 billion.
The AIIB board includes representatives from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Further, the AIIB provided $300 million finance in 2016 to expand Oman's Duqm Port and to kick-start the Sultanate's first railway system.
These developments must be seen in the context of Beijing unveiling its first 'Arab Policy Paper' in 2016, which set out the country's development strategies with Arab countries to ensure a win-win situation.
Soon after, President Xi Jinping toured the Middle East. By visiting Saudi Arabia, Iran and Egypt, especially during the height of the Riyadh–Tehran feud, Beijing demonstrated that the region is part its strategic focus.
This led many to wonder if these moves indicated a 'Chinese pivot' to the region.
Motivating the newfound interest in the region is the fact that China's trade with the Middle East surged by a whopping 600 per cent during the 2004-2014 period.
In 2015, China surpassed the United States as the world's top importer of crude oil. More than half the 6.2 million barrels per day of crude that China imports is extracted in the Middle East.
As a way of enhancing this synergy, the Arab Policy Paper stated that China and Arab countries will adopt a three-pronged strategy – one, energy cooperation as the core infrastructure; two, construction and trade and investment facilitation; and three, innovative technologies in nuclear energy, space satellite and renewable energy.
As a result, although not directly along the Belt and Road routes, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries could harvest high stakes in the project.
The GCC countries possess high quality infrastructure, especially seaports and airports, which could serve as facilitators for the initiative. The GCC countries could also benefit from joint investment in infrastructure projects in some of the countries that are part of the initiative.
Saudi Arabia has welcomed China's attempt to revive the ambitious ancient trade routes since it complements the Kingdom's equally ambitious Vision 2030.
Given that a substantial part of China-UAE trade is re-exported to Africa and Europe, which are the core destinations of the initiative, the UAE could serve as a hub for Chinese companies.
For a start, DP World facilitated the first direct freight train from Britain to China in April. The journey that revives the Silk Road is reportedly cheaper than air cargo and faster than sea cargo, which increases its potential.
DP World reportedly operates 20 terminals across China, Southeast Asia and South Asia, which makes it an important player in the Belt and Road initiative.
According to the chief of the Dubai-headquartered ports company, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem: "We will work with the Chinese to prepare our ports."
Since there are a number of hotspots along the Belt and Road routes in the Middle East, Chinese-GCC cooperation in the counterterrorism and security arenas acquires prominence.
The key, however, is how the GCC countries come to terms with the Chinese-Iranian partnership.
By virtue of its geographical location, Iran is a key player in China's effort to connect Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. In February 2016, the first direct Chinese cargo train arrived in Tehran through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan in about two weeks, compared to 45 days by sea.
Likewise, Beijing is equally enthusiastic about the "Red-Med" railway proposal that it is keen to construct across Israel, which could complement the busy Suez Canal.
Globally, the Belt and Road initiative has received mixed reviews.
On a positive note, some view it as a genuine tool to promote trade. There is also a view that "the Silk Road is not only for trade of goods…Roads transfer culture, religions and technology as well," hence promoting peace.
On the other side, the United States, Japan, and India, among others, are worried that the Chinese project is loaded with 'expansionist' designs.
Countering its critics, however, Beijing clarified its stand at the recent summit of world leaders: "In advancing the Belt and Road, we will not retread the old path of games between foes. Instead we will create a new model of cooperation and mutual benefit."
Thus, despite the challenges, the GCC and other Middle East counties could devise strategies to make China's Belt and Road an economic, political, diplomatic and security win-win initiative.

Q: Opening a v-date-picker v-menu on click and focusing a v-text-field inside it? I've got a date-picker component in an app and used the example for a menu to open it.
I now want to make it more efficient to use for desktop users, so I removed the readonly flag to make manual input possible.
Now desktop users can simply tab through the different fields of the form to quickly input dates and times. The problem here was that the date-picker would not show up when a user tabs into a field, which was easily fixed with adding @focus="menuVariable=true" to the text-field.
But the problem now is that the date-picker won't show up anymore when a user first clicks into the text-field, at least not consistently, which I haven't been able to fix. I already tried to listen for click events and setting the menu's toggle to true then, but I guess the problem is setting that variable in the first place. Not sure how to work around this or how to open that menu manually any other way.
Here is a codepen showing off the problem. Click around a bit between the two fields, the date-picker on the right always opens, the one on the left only occasionally.
Does anyone know a better solution to consistently show the date-picker when a user either clicks into the text-field (or any other part of the v-menu) or tabs into the text-field?

A: @keyup="menuVariable=true"
@keydown="menuVariable=false"

I worked with this.

A: there is a nice solution here:

Here's What Went Wrong During USofC's Viral Title IX Celebration — and Why It Matters
On Saturday, during a football game against the Georgia Bulldogs, the University of South Carolina attempted to celebrate women's athletics — but it didn't go as planned. Between the first and second quarters, the university invited all 275 of its women athletes to the field in honor of the 50th anniversary of Title IX, only for them to be shooed off by the UofSC head coach.
A civil rights bill passed in 1972, Title IX protects against sex-based discrimination in federally-funded education programs, activities, and sports. Among other things, Title IX assures women they have a right to play the field as much as any other athlete. When Title IX was passed, only 300,000 women and girls played sports on their college and high school teams nationwide. What's worse? These hundreds of thousands of athletes received only 2 percent of athletic budgets in college — leaving the lion's share of attention and funding for men. The impact Title IX has made on sports can't be overstated: By 2016, one in five girls in the US played sports, compared to one in twenty-seven before the law was passed, per the Women's Sports Foundation. The law also raised the bar for women's standards of competition, as well as funding and opportunities available.
Given this history, the results of South Carolina's celebration are especially ironic. The women athletes took to the football field at the designated time, but only seconds passed before South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer was shouting, "get off the field!" while motioning aggressively at the women athletes to leave.
All female student athletes were ~asked~ to come to the game to recognize 50 years of Title IX. We were on the field for maybe 15 seconds then screamed at to get off. If you want to honor female student athletes, then do that, not this. https://t.co/WIPaZAAxTx
— Jyllissa Harris (@jyllissa_harris) September 18, 2022
In a now-viral tweet, Gamecock women's soccer player Jyllissa Harris responded to the clip, writing "All female student athletes were ~asked~ to come to the game to recognize 50 years of Title IX. We were on the field for maybe 15 seconds then screamed at to get off. If you want to honor female student athletes, then do that, not this."
Beamer apologized on Sunday, according to The Charlotte Observer, and clarified that he didn't know the ceremony was taking place. "I apologize to anyone that I offended," Beamer said. "I hope people know me well enough to know what an advocate I am for women's sports. I've got two daughters of my own that play sports. I'm at as many women's athletic events at Carolina as I can possibly be because I believe in them and support them, and anyone that thinks otherwise surely doesn't know me."
But the interaction at the UofSC game is almost too perfect a symbol of the systemic discrimination that still faces women athletes 50 years after Title IX was passed. (See: the fact that women athletes largely have yet to receive equal pay in professional sports.) It's not about how much you champion women's sports in theory — whether as an individual person, an institution, or an entire society — it's what you do in practice that really matters.
On the 50th anniversary of Title IX, what went down at UofSC should be a continued call to action for all sports institutions: Women belong on the field.

Joshua Joseph Jason Ishmel Clarke (born 5 July 1994) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back or right winger. He is a graduate of the Brentford youth system and made over 80 appearances for the club between 2013 and his departure in 2020. After nearly two years out of the game (bisected by a non-playing spell with Wigan Athletic), Clarke dropped into non-League football to transfer to Dartford in 2021, for whom he played until early 2022.

Career

Brentford

Early years (2011–2015)
Clarke signed a two-year scholarship at League One club Brentford during the 2011 off-season, after being spotted while on a course at Southgate College. He also represented Middlesex Schools at U17 level. He progressed from the youth team to the Development Squad and signed a one-year professional contract for the 2013–14 season.

Clarke made his first team debut in a 5–0 League Cup second round defeat at Derby County in August 2013, playing the full 90 minutes. His second appearance came in a 2–1 Football League Trophy defeat to Peterborough United on 8 October, when he replaced Martin Fillo after 47 minutes. After finishing the 2013–14 season as the leading appearance-maker in the Development Squad, Clarke was promoted into the first team squad for the remainder of the League One season on 16 April 2014. With promotion to the Championship secured, he made his league debut when he replaced right back Nico Yennaris after 81 minutes of a 4–1 defeat to Colchester United 10 days later.

Clarke signed a new a one-year contract on 9 June 2014, but failed to feature at all in the first team during the 2014–15 season. He made 19 Development Squad appearances during the season, moved from right wing to right back and impressed sufficiently to sign a new one-year extension in late June 2015.

Breakthrough (2015–2018)
Clarke made his first senior Brentford appearance in over 15 months in the League Cup first round versus Oxford United on 11 August 2015 and was one of the few Bees players to offer any spark in the 4–0 defeat. An injury crisis saw him keep his place in the squad throughout August and September and he made three further appearances before departing on loan in October 2015. Nearly five months since his previous involvement, injury to right back Maxime Colin and the deployment of right back Nico Yennaris as a defensive midfielder saw Clarke embark on a run of 8 late-season appearances, which took his tally for 2015–16 to 12.

On 29 June 2016, Clarke signed a new two-year contract. He was an ever-present inclusion in matchday squads early in the 2016–17 season and scored his first goal for the club in a 4–1 victory over Reading on 27 September 2016. He scored again five matches later, with the opener in a 2–0 West London derby victory over Queen's Park Rangers. In mid-February 2017, he signed a new two-year contract extension. After a period on the bench, he broke back into the team late in the season and finished 2016–17 with 32 appearances and two goals.

Clarke began the 2017–18 season down the pecking order on the right side of defence and midfield, but he started in Brentford's EFL Cup matches in the opening weeks of the campaign. He scored his first goal of the season in the 4–1 EFL Cup second round victory over rivals Queens Park Rangers on 22 August 2017 and his performance was recognised with a place in the Team of the Round. He scored two goals in two matches in mid-September, in a 1–1 league draw with Reading and a late consolation in a 3–1 EFL Cup third round defeat to Norwich City. After a season-ending injury suffered by Rico Henry on 30 September, Clarke deputised at left back, after showing his versatility playing at right back and on both wings so far during the season. Clarke's performances during the first half of the season were recognised with a nomination for EFL Player of the Year at the 2017–18 London Football Awards and he finished the campaign with 32 appearances and three goals.

Later years (2018–2020)
Manager Dean Smith's decision to establish a leadership group and appoint matchday captains during the 2018–19 season led to Clarke wearing the captain's armband for the first time in his Brentford career during a 1–0 EFL Cup second round victory over Cheltenham Town on 28 August 2018. Well down the pecking order, Clarke made just three appearances before leaving on loan for the remainder of the 2018–19 season in January 2019.

Well-down the pecking order, injury-troubled and having made just two appearances so far during the 2019–20 season, Clarke was made available for transfer during the winter transfer window in January 2020. On the final day of the window, his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Clarke made 84 appearances and scored five goals during -years as a professional at Griffin Park.

Carshalton Athletic (loans)
In December 2012, Clarke moved to Isthmian League Premier Division club Carshalton Athletic on a work experience loan deal and scored on his debut. Clarke returned to Griffin Park in January 2013 after making seven league appearances, but re-signed for the Robins the following month and remained with the club for the rest of the season. He made 17 league appearances and scored one goal during a season to forget for the club, in which it narrowly avoided relegation.

Maidenhead United (loan)
Clarke moved to Conference South club Maidenhead United on a one-month loan on 4 December 2013. His spell at Maidenhead was hit by postponements due to bad weather and he returned to Brentford on 6 January 2014, after making just two appearances.

Braintree Town (loan)
On 17 February 2014, Clarke joined Conference Premier club Braintree Town on a one-month loan. He failed to win a call into a matchday squad and returned to Brentford when his loan expired.

Dagenham & Redbridge (loan)
Clarke joined League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge on a 28-day youth loan on 22 August 2014. His only involvement with the first team came when he was an unused substitute during the following day's match versus Mansfield Town. Failure to recover from a thigh injury saw Clarke return to Brentford when his loan expired.

Stevenage (loan)
Clarke joined League Two club Stevenage on a one-month youth loan on 17 October 2014. After just one substitute appearance and two further unused substitute appearances, Clarke was left out of the squad altogether and returned to Brentford when his loan expired.

Barnet (loan)
On 15 October 2015, Clarke joined League Two club Barnet on loan until 3 January 2016. He made a dream start to his time at The Hive, scoring three goals in his first four matches. On 28 November, Clarke received the first red card of his career for two bookable offences during the first half of a 3–1 defeat to Mansfield Town. After serving his suspension, he made two further appearances before suffering a hamstring injury. Clarke returned to Brentford when his loan expired, having made 10 appearances and scored three goals.

Burton Albion (loan)

On 11 January 2019, Clarke joined League One club Burton Albion on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season. Either side of an ankle injury, he made just six appearances during his spell.

Wigan Athletic
On 11 September 2020, Clarke signed a one-month contract with newly-relegated League One club Wigan Athletic. A hamstring injury saw him fail to win a call into a matchday squad and his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 5 October.

Leyton Orient (trial)
In July 2021, Clarke signed a short-term contract as a trialist with League Two club Leyton Orient and he appeared in all but one of the club's 2021–22 pre-season friendlies.

Dartford
In mid-November 2021, Clarke signed a contract with National League South club Dartford. He made 10 appearances before departing the club in February 2022, in order "to focus on resolving some injury issues and getting fit for next season". He was a part of the team which emerged victorious in the delayed 2020 Kent Senior Cup Final, played on 24 November 2021.

Hello, I have been looking around and cant seem to find a straight answer. If I make a bladeforge and go fighter levels over paladin, would i get the full line of repair spells on him as a racial bonus still? Only thing i see says they are granted as paladin spells?
You will get the racial Reconstruct SLA, but you will not get the Repair line of spells unless you have the corresponding level of paladin.
Wowww you mean if i do a pally/fighter 12/8 for exemple, i can choose the repair spells instead of the cure spells?
Correct, although with pal 12 you would only get lvl 3 spells (RSW). You may want to consider pal 15 / ftr 4 / <splash> 1 instead; you lose Keen Edge, unfortunately, but gain Zeal (+10% doublestrike) and an extra lvl 4 spell slot for RCW, Death Ward, or Holy Sword.
Nice advice, deathward is useful... although, if i go pal14/ftr6, i get an extra feat... And with SLA econstruct RSW should be enough while it's on cool down... Anyone build one like that?
One of my BF pallies was going to be pal 15 / ftr 4 / wiz 1: same number of feats as pal 14 / ftr 6 (wiz splash was for Quicken), while keeping two lvl 4 spell slots. Pre-U19, the wiz splash also got me +40 Repair Spellpower, but that went away.
I then impulsively switched to pal 15 / ftr 2 / wiz 3 to dabble in EK. Probably a mistake, but...enh, whatever. Not such a big deal now that we can LR/TR Iconics.

Archaeology with an Open Mind
by Gary Webster
Sir Willian Ramsay, a scholar honoured by universities in Britain, Europe and the United States, was knighted for services to archaeology. You can read more of him in "The Archaeologist" in this issue. Raised as an atheist, he first went to Turkey (Asia Minor) to unearth the ancient cities and documents of Asia Minor in the full hope of exposing the perceived fallacies of the biblical book of Acts in particular and the Bible in general. At the time he went to Turkey, the book of Acts contained the only record of many of the cities it mentions. Not only was their location unknown but little was known of their detailed history or politics. Being sceptical, Ramsay fully expected his research to prove Luke, the author of the book of Acts, to be at the least inaccurate and his work largely myth, the product of tradition and something of a hagiography. However, after a lifetime of study, this was his conclusion:
Further study . . . showed that the book
[Acts] could bear the most minute scrutiny
as an authority for the facts of the Aegean
world, and that it was written with such
judgment, skill, art and perception of truth
as to be a model of historical statement.
(The Bearing of Recent Discovery, p. 85)
So what was it that changed his mind? And what have we discovered since that might further reinforce his altered view?
The Census of Augustus
Luke informs us of the following:
And it came to pass in those days that a
decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that all the world should be registered.
This census first took place while Quirinius
was governing Syria. So all went to be
registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph
also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem, because he was
of the house and lineage of David, to be
registered with Mary, his betrothed wife,
who was with child. (Luke 2:1–5, NKJV)
Pliny, a Roman governor of Bithynia, reveals that a regular census was taken by the Romans, while a papyrus from Egypt informs us that everyone had to return to their home for it. This papyrus from Egypt dated to a.d. 104, reads in part:
". . . it is essential that all those who are
away from their homes be summoned to
return to their own hearths . . ."
Ramsay discovered an inscription at Antioch, which revealed that Quirinius was the chief magistrate of the city in 8 B.C. Evidence reveals that he shared the governorship of Syria with Sentius Saturnius at the time.
According to the Bible, Herod the Great was exceed- ingly cruel, as evidenced in his murder of all male children in Bethlehem under two years of age at the time of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth (see Matthew 2:1–18). History reveals that Herod was hated and feared by almost everyone. Augustus once commented that it would be better to be Herod's pig than his son, which was a bitter reflection on the fact that he murdered his wife and her two sons, his mother-in-law and Antipater his loyal firstborn—but being Jewish, would not touch a pig! Josephus referred to him as a man of great barbarity to all men. His numerous fortresses included Herodion near Bethlehem, Masada (pictured) and Maccareus, and were perhaps indicative of the fact that King Herod had many enemies from whom he needed protection.
Herod's Successors
Herod Archelaus, son of Herod the Great, was appointed Ethnarch of Judea, Samaria and Idumea. Joseph knew he was a man to be feared, because while en-route home from Egypt, upon learning that Archelaus was ruler, went directly to Galilee rather than Judea (Matthew 2:22). We now know Herod was hated by the Jews because in sup- pressing a Jewish rebellion, he massacred some 3000 of them. Emperor Augustus eventually exiled him because of his excessive cruelty.
Herod Agrippa is the last of the five Herods mentioned in the New Testament. When Caligula was assassinated in a.d. 41, he backed Claudius to be emperor, who in return made him King of Judea and Samaria. It was this Herod who executed James and imprisoned Peter (see Acts 12:1–19). Luke gives the following account concerning Herod's death:
So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat
on his throne and gave an oration to them. And the
people kept shouting, "The voice of a god and not of
a man!" Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck
him, because he did not give glory to God. And he
was eaten by worms and died. (Acts 12:21–23, NKJV)
That might sound a little far-fetched, but it accords perfectly with what Josephus wrote concerning events:
Now when Agrippa had reigned three years over all
Judea he came to the city Caesarea . . . and there he
exhibited spectacles in honour of Caesar, for whose
well-being he'd been informed that a certain festival
was being celebrated. At this festival a great number
were gathered together of the principal persons of
dignity of his province. On the second day of the
spectacles he put on a garment made wholly of silver,
of a truly wonderful texture, and came into the theatre
early in the morning. There the silver of his garment,
being illuminated by the fresh reflection of the sun's rays,
shone out in a wonderful manner, and was so resplendent
as to spread awe over those that looked intently upon him.
Presently his flat- terers cried out, one from one place,
and another from another, (though not for his good) that he
was a god; and they added, "Be thou merciful to us; for
although we have hitherto reverenced thee only as a man,
yet shall we henceforth own thee as superior to mortal nature."
Upon this the king neither rebuked them nor rejected their
impious flattery . . . . A severe pain arose in his belly, striking
with a most violent intensity . . . . Accordingly, he was carried
into the palace . . . . And when he had been quite worn out by
the pain in his belly for five days, he departed this life.
(Antiquities 19.8.2 343–361)
Lukes Chronology
Dates appear to have been less important in ancient times than they are today. However Luke does give specific chronological data. In Luke 3:1–3, this ancient historian, using a Greco-Roman style, obviously wanted to show the historicity of what he wrote when he gave a large amount of historical data:
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. (NKJV)
Caiaphas, The High Priest
The New Testament claims that Caiaphus was the High Priest who presided over the Jewish Sanhedran that condemned Jesus Christ to death (see Matthew 26:63–66; John 11:47–53). Both archaeology and ancient history confirm this biblical assertion. First, the Jewish historian Josephus actually names the high priest of the time as "Joseph Caiaphus" (Antiquities 18:35,95). Then, second, in 1990, an ornately decorated ossuary was discovered bearing the Aramaic inscription, "Joseph, son of Caiaphas" (pictured). It contained the bones of two infants, a child, a teenage boy, an adult woman and a man of approximately 60 years of age. Almost all scholars agree that in all likelihood the box contained the remains of Caiaphus, the high priest presiding over the trial of Jesus.
Famine during the reign of Claudius
In the book of Acts, Luke mentions a famine that occured during the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius:
During this time some prophets came down from
Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus,
stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe
famine would spread over the entire Roman world.
(This happened during the reign of Claudius.) The disciples,
as each one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers
and sisters living in Judea. This they did, sending their gift
to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. (Acts 11:28–30, NIV)
Josephus mentions the visit of Helena, queen of Adiabene (a territory to the east of the Tigris river), to Jerusalem at this time. She had accepted the Jewish faith. Of this visit Josephus says her coming was "of very great advantage to the people of Jerusalem" because on seeing the suffering caused by the famine, she sent to Alexandria "to buy a great quantity of corn" and to Cyprus "to bring a cargo of dried figs" (Antiquities 20.2.5).
Roman historians Suetonius and Tacitus also mention a famine during the reign of Claudius. Both of whom mention "bad harvests" as being the cause of the famine (Life of Claudius ch. 18, by Suetonius; and, Annals 11:4, by Tacitus).
Explusion of the Jews from Rome
During Paul's time there were some 13 synagogues in Rome and possibly as many as 40,000 Jews. Luke refers to the expulsion of these Jews by Claudius from the city:
And he found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in
Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his
wife Priscilla (because Claudius had commanded
all the Jews to depart from Rome); and he came to
them. (Acts 18:2, NKJV)
In AD 49, Suetonius referred to an expulsion of Jews from Rome during the reign of Claudius as follows:
Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the
instigation of Chrestus, he expelled them from Rome.
The Life of Claudius 25.4)
The New Testament informs us that Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea who sentenced Christ to death by crucifixion (see Luke 3:1; 23:23, 24). During excavations of a Roman theatre at Caesarea-on-the-Sea (Maritima) in June 1961, by Italian archaeologists led by Dr Frova, a fragmentary Latin inscription was discovered that mentions a certain [Pon]tius Pilatus, [Pref]ectus Iuda[ea]—"Pontius Pilate, Prefect (governor) of Judea"—was the builder of a public structure known as the Tiberieum. Since it was the first non-Jewish and non-Christian mention of Pilate as the governor of Judea, the discovery was of significant value, as critics had frequently questioned the veracity of the Gospels with regard to their mentioning of Pilate.
Sergis Paulus, Proconsul of Cyprus
In Acts chapter 13, Luke reports on Paul's visit to Cyprus, where at Paphos he met Sergius Paulus, the proconsul of Cyprus:
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos,
they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew
whose name was Bar-Jesus, who was with the proconsul,
Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for
Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.
(Acts 13:6, 7, NKJV)
A number of possible references to Sergius Paulus have been discovered. Pliny the Elder in his work on Natural History (Hist. Nat. ii. 90.97, 112) makes reference to a "Sergius Paulus" and also, interestingly, mentions that the island of Cyprus was overrun with those who practiced sorcery, the very thing Luke states that Paul encountered on Cyprus.
There are four inscriptions possibly referring to him, of which two were discovered in Cyprus. The first was found at the city of Silo, just north of Paphos, in 1877. The second, from Kythraia (Chytri) in northern Cyprus, refers to a certain "Quintus Sergius" whose last name is missing. Another, found in Rome in 1887, is on a boundary stone set up by Claudius Caesar. It says that "L. Sergius Paulus" (listed with several others) was responsible for maintaining the banks and channels of the Tiber River. Finally, the name L. Sergius Paulus was also found on an inscription from Pisidian Antioch in Turkey, in 1912.
Erastus, Tresurer of Corinth
The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, written from the city of Corinth in Greece, ends with the following greetings:
Gaius, my host and the host of the whole
church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer
of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.
(Romans 16:23, NKJV)
In 1929, an inscription on a marble paving slab, dating to the middle of the first century a.d., was discovered at Corinth. It reads: "Erastus, in return for his aedileship, laid this pavement at his own expense." The aedile was in charge of city finances. Because of the rarity of the name Erastus, and since both Paul and the inscription refer to him as the treasurer of the city, and because it is unlikely two men of the same name would hold financial office in Corinth at the same time, scholars reasonably conclude they refer to the same man.
Gallio Proconsul of Achaia
Luke mentions that when Paul was at Corinth, the Jews brought charges against him before one Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia:
When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat, say- ing, "This fellow persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.". . .Gallio said to the Jews, . . . "I do not want to be a judge of such matters." And he drove them from the judgment seat. (Acts 18:12–16, NKJV)
We now know that Gallio was a brother of the philosopher Seneca, who tutored the future emperor Nero. In 1905, a Greek inscription was discovered in the Temple of Apollo in Delphi (pictured). It was ordered by Claudius and refers to Gallio as "my friend and proconsul."
Rulers (Polytarchs) of Thessalonica
When Luke discusses the visit of the apostles Paul and Silas to Thessalonica, and mentions that some of the believers were dragged before the city rulers, he uses the term "polytarch" (Acts 17:6) for the rulers. When a second century a.d. Roman arch in Thessalonica was demolished in 1876, an inscription known as the Polytarch Inscription was rescued (pictured left). It refers to a number of city officials by the title of "polytarch," a title now recognized to be common among Macedonian cities, and especially in Thessalonica. Luke clearly had an intimate and accurate knowledge of Thessalonica, and this is yet another example of his trustworthiness as an historian.
The Temple Warning
In 1871 a Greek inscription, dated to the first century a.d., was discovered. It was originally painted in red, as remnants of the colour remain. It read:
No foreigner may pass the barrier and enclosure
surrounding the temple. Anyone who is caught
doing so will be himself to blame for his resulting
Herod's Temple was surrounded by an open courtyard for the Gentiles. Beyond a three-cubit-high wall were courts for Jewish women, men and priests. Gentiles were not allowed beyond the so-called court of the Gentiles. Josephus informs us of pillars along the high wall "at equal distance from one another declaring, some in Greek and some in Roman letters 'no foreigner should go within that sanctuary' " (Antiquities 5.2).
The New Testament twice refers to this barrier between Jews and Gentiles, the first when Paul was falsely accused by some Jews from Asia Minor of bringing Trophimus, a Gentile, into the sacred temple area (see Acts 21:26–29), and the second by Paul, who no doubt had this barrier with its warning inscriptions in mind when he wrote to the Christian church in Ephesus:
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups
[Jews and Gentiles] one and has destroyed the barrier, the
dividing wall of hostility. (Ephesians 2:14, NIV)
Diana of the Ephesians
Acts refers to the goddess Diana (pictured, statue of the Diana of Ephesus in the Vatican Museum), also known as Artemis, as the most important deity of Ephesus. It not only mentions her great temple at Ephesus but also reports concerning a riot in the theatre of the city, where for two hours the crowd chanted her praises, "great is Diana" (Acts 19:23–34). Archaeologists have discovered ruins of the Temple of Diana, which is in fact one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Today, one can sit in the seats of this magnificent theatre at Ephesus where the riot occurred.
Luke in his Gospel and book of Acts mentions some 32 countries, 54 cities, nine islands, and various per- sonalities and events, all of which are known to have existed or occurred, and of which this article contains
but a sampling. Many other archaeological discoveries exist that further confirm biblical writings as an accurate and reliable record of human history and culture, a source not to be readily dismissed. Such was the road that the sceptic Ramsay travelled, until overcome by the weight of evidence, he came to accept the wider history and cultural descriptions of the Bible, along with its deeper themes.

THE EIGHTIES By Betty J. Sayles
THE EIGHTIES
By Betty J. Sayles
My son was a career Air Force man and while visiting me in northern Wisconsin, he saw 80 acres of woods, swamp and beaver dam that he loved on sight and wanted for a summer home when he retired. There was a vintage house trailer on a large clearing near the road, and with water, bottle gas cooking stove and an outhouse, he could stay there, comfortably enough, during summer visits. With two days left before he was due to leave for his next station overseas, he completed the transaction and owned the land. He left the key to the trailer with me.
I made numerous trips to the "80" that summer. I learned my way about the woods, and while sitting on the bank of the beaver pond watching for beavers, enjoyed dozens of jewel colored dragonflies darting about. I never saw a beaver, but saw a stump and freshly gnawed wood chips.
Under the steps of the trailer lived a nest of bumblebees. I often sat on the steps, basking in the sun, and the bumblebees entered and left their home with no apparent concern or malice towards me. I enjoyed watching them. On the opposite side of the trailer was a pump with deliciously cold water. After a warm walk in the woods, that pump would be my first stop. Unfortunately, some yellow jackets also liked it and made their nest in its spout.
I suppose there's no parallel between the bumblebees and the yellow jackets because one lived side by side with me and we didn't interfere with each other. In the case of the yellow jackets, we both wanted the same spot and that can do dire things to a "Live and Let Live" philosophy. It has, also, been my observation that bumblebees have a placid nature while yellow jackets come at you like a "Spitfire" at war, at least, when you dislodge their nest with a gush of water.
We waged war for a month or more. I still don't know how I came through unscathed, I was threatened often enough, but it's amazing how fast a human can move when the adrenaline is at its peak and he's fighting for something he considers belongs to him. My offense was always the same; I'd give a mighty pump on the handle, and dash for the back door that was only 10 feet away. I'd look through the window and there he'd be glaring at me inches from my face [I swear it was the same one every time, he hated me].
With the nest dislodged, the yellow jackets would hover about for 10 minutes, or so, and then leave, and it would be safe to go out and pump "my" water.
With a week usually elapsing between my visits, the yellow jackets always had a new nest built in the pump spout. Then, one day, I made the dash for nothing, the enemy had departed. I was surprised to find that I was disappointed; after all, my old enemy had been a worthy adversary and our encounters had been exciting. I wondered if they would be back the next summer.

Govan railway station was a railway station in Govan, a district of Glasgow, Scotland. The station was originally part of an extension to the Glasgow and Paisley Joint Railway.

History
The station opened on 2 December 1868. During the station's lifetime it was closed several times: between 1 July 1875 and 1 March 1880, April 1899 and May 1902, and between May 1906 and January 1911. The station closed permanently to regular passenger services on 9 May 1921.

The Glasgow Subway's Broomloan Depot is near to the site of Govan station, and uses part of the old trackbed as a test track.

Brännvin is a Swedish liquor distilled from potatoes, grain, or (formerly) wood cellulose. It can be plain and colourless, or flavoured with herbs and spices. Beverages labelled brännvin are usually plain and have an alcohol content between 30% and 38%. The word brännvin means "burn[t] (distilled) wine". It is cognate with English brandy[wine], Norwegian brennevin, Danish brændevin, Dutch brandewijn, Finnish Viina, German Branntwein, and Icelandic brennivín. A small glass of brännvin is called a snaps (cf. German schnapps), and may be accompanied by a snapsvisa, a drinking song.

Outside Scandinavia
In the US, a Chicago producer makes a bitter brännvin (beskbrännvin), called Jeppson's Malört. "Malört" () is the Swedish word for the plant Artemisia absinthium, wormwood, often used as an ingredient in absinthe.

In Scandinavian culture

Brännvin was central to the semi-mythical world in the songs of Sweden's bard, Carl Michael Bellman. For example, in Fredman's Epistle no. 1, the first verse begins:

Home Home & Garden Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is a standard in the energy-efficient building
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is a standard in the energy-efficient building
Currently ongoing in Poland national program of the loan subsidies for building energy-efficient houses, carried out by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, puts emphasis on the efficiency of the energy use in newly constructed residential buildings. The implementation of this concept is possible, among others, thanks to the use of mechanical supply-exhaust ventilations systems with the heat recovery, characterized by the highest limit temperature performance. Also, the efficiency class of the drives used in ventilations system is important: IE2 meets the requirements for eco-design. Thanks to the mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, the controlled air exchange occurs inside the buildings, which positively affects the comfort conditions of the people residing in them.
Photo Source: indoorenvironment.org
Among commercially available devices, the following are characterized by high quality and competitive price: unit HRU-Minist-Air-W-450 Alnor with high efficiency counterflow heat exchanger (heat recovery up to 95% in accordance with EN 308 TÜV SÜD standard) equipped with, among others: by-pass function (supply of air without heat exchanger), energy-efficient fans with 3-step speed adjustment, external control function (BMS), filters EU4 or F7, metal take-offs with EPDM gasket guaranteeing the sealing class D.
At the stage of purchasing device for heat recovery, it's worth to check, whether it will allow to adjust the level of relative humidity of air in the building, which is significant in the winter season, when humidity decreases below the acceptable minimal level of 25-30 %. On the other hand, during cooling in the summer, the humidity of air incoming from the outside is decreased. Devices used for recovery of heat, as well as humidity from the exhaust air include, among others: units HRU-ERGO with counterflow heat exchanger or the cross type HRU-ECCO. Both exchangers are characterized by simple structure made of cellulose (so called enthalpy exchangers) with a thickness of 45μm and high permeability of humidity, appropriate sealing and resistance to aging.
The distance between the fibres corresponds to the size of humidity particles. Particles with larger dimensions e.g. odours, are not let through the heat exchanger, which prevents the penetration of pollutants into the fresh air. These units have the possibility of 3-step adjustment of operation gears, defrost function and are equipped with two filters. The housings of Alnor heat and energy recovery ventilators are made of zinc-coated steel. Dimensions of the housing are optimized in terms of efficiency of individual types. The entire housing is compact, thermally isolated and acoustically isolated, which reduces the energy losses.
When choosing the heat and energy recovery ventilator, you should pay attention to the ease of installation e.g. the ceiling ventilator with the use of prepared hangers, which allows saving space in the room. We encourage you to use modern Alnor B2B platform, which allows constant access to the current price list, availability, contact with the service personnel or optimization of the device transportation.
