The Archaeology Days event across Europe:
Since 2010, the French Ministry of Culture has placed the co-ordination and promotion of France's National Archaeology Days (JNA) in the heands of the National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap).
The Archaeology Days, always held the third weekend in June, all those involved in archaeology are mobilised to introduce the public to the treasures of their national heritage and the secrets of the profession.
In 2019, the National Archaeology Days will celebrate their tenth anniversary. And in order to share this 10th Edition with the widest possible audience, Inrap has chosen to open up these days to every European country.
These three days will be used to raise awareness and familiarise European audiences with all aspects of archaeology. A range of original and festive events will be organised, to allow families, schools, students, history enthusiasts or the merely curious to discover their archaeological heritage. Visits to places that are not normally open to the public (excavation sites, research centres, archaeological collections, etc.), meetings with archaeological professionals (archaeologists, researchers, etc.), who will be describing their profession to the public, along with a range of entertaining and educational activities (an introduction to excavation, demonstrations, workshops, etc.), are just some of the wide variety of programmes available at the Archaeology Days across Europe.
Video: an introduction to ceramology workshop for schoolchildren; children dig up ceramic shards that need to be reassembled in order to discover an object.
National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap):
Created by the 2001 law on preventive archaeology, the National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap) is the only competent public operator allowed to work throughout the country and across all periods, from Prehistory to the present day.
With thirty years of experience, they are involved on all types of sites: urban, rural, underwater, major transport and energy projects (roads, railways lines, etc.). Its role is to safeguard elements of France's archaeological heritage affected by infrastructural development by studying them.
As a national research institute, it carries out some 1,800 archaeological surveys and 250 excavations each year in partnership with private and public developers in mainland France and overseas. At the end of the work, Inrap is responsible for the use and dissemination of the results among the scientific community: more than 350 of its researchers collaborate with the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and universities.
The Institute contributes to the development of archaeological knowledge, in conjunction with these institutions. By virtue of the large number of researchers it employs, the scope of its activities and the volume of data collected, it plays a leading role in many fields, particularly those in which preventive archaeology has had a profound impact on knowledge: the archaeology of settlements and population movements, the study of regions covered as a whole, the archaeology of human settlement within the natural environment, the study of economic flows, etc.
The missions of Inrap extend to the dissemination of archaeological knowledge to the public. As such, it organises numerous promotional operations, most often in collaboration with developers: opening of sites to the public, exhibitions, publications, audiovisual content, conferences, etc.

11) A system using an automated work cell controlled by electronic signals from a common centralized computer facility is called: A) an adaptive control system. B) robotics. C) a flexible manufacturing system. D) an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) system. E) a manufacturing cell.
Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is a highly automated GT machine cell consist ing of a group of processing workstations (usually CNC machine tools) interconnected by an automated material handling and storage system and controlled by a distributed computer system.
flexible roller conveyor automatic production line for factory ML01 ML Products Made In China China Manufacturer. flexible roller conveyor automatic production line for factory 1.Brief Introduction Material: stainless steel carbon steel aluminum PVC plasticsteel.
Modern production facility. Our main stateoftheart production facility is located in the town of Vuorela Siilinjärvi in Finland. Thinking ahead we constantly develop our operations based on customerspecificneeds in order to remain leaders in the industry. Our global presence includes a second production plant in Stargard Poland.
Production becomes transparent versatile and flexible thanks to the smooth interaction of the physical and virtual production world. To some extent the production line modules manufacture parts automatically. Others are produced by humans but with the support of machines.
These figures suggest that even though manufacturing is one of the most highly automated industries globally there is still significant automation potential within the four walls of manufacturing sites as well as in related functional areas such as supply chain and procurement.
Robotic cellular manufacturing is a flexible approach that enables costeffective automated production of low and mediumvolume product families. Automated cells can take many forms with one or more robots performing the handling duties that make everything work together smoothly.
The BMW Group is the first automobile manufacturer worldwide to use lightweight carbon in largeseries production. The benefits of carbon are clear especially for electromobility where it fully offsets the additional weight of the battery.
Ecoprgetti SRL signed the contract last week and received the order confirmation today February 22 from a Vietnamese investor to install a 250 MW fully automated PV production line in Vietnam.
Highlighted manufacturing capabilities. As an ISO 9001 leading prototypetoproduction flexible PCB manufacturer we have flex and rigidflex PCB capabilities that other companies can't compete with. As your flexible circuit supplier you will be able to build boards with line and width spacing down to 19 microns (.75 mil) and 1 mil micro vias.
The manufacturing process is broken down into a number of steps that are carried out in sequence on a production line. Production is often done using computercontrolled machines.
Suitable for inline applications all the way up to highvolume manufacturing as well as for multiple production line setups operating in parallel and in synch. Additional special purpose cells and robotic systems can be flexibly designed and incorporated to suite customer requirements.
Tooling is becoming an integral part of the automated system as they are blended into a common work center. Our automated line concept has been proven to drive out recurring costs streamline the manufacturing cycle and minimize the risk associated with automated manufacturing and assembly.

Batch processes must be flexible Optimal plant performance continuous transparency tailored quality and short development and setup times the production of fine chemical products in large and small batches requires a tremendous degree of flexibility.
The trend of pharmaceutical and biotechnology products requires flexible aseptic production systems that can efficiently process medium sized clinical and commercial batches without compromising quality.
In most cases a manufacturing assembly line is a semiautomated system through which a product moves. At each station along the line some part of the production process takes place.
Working with us you can leverage our hard work and experience to put innovative and robust automated manufacturing machines on your production floor. Our machines will kick out high quality product consistently and reliably year after year for you and the best part increase your bottom line doing it.

Companies choose manufacturing processes such as job order batch process assembly line and continuous process based in part on the level of product individualization allowed.
New Goals for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing. As today marks the 100th anniversary of the moving assembly line invented by Ford Motor Company under the leadership of Henry Ford the company is building on its legacy of innovation by expanding advanced manufacturing capabilities and introducing groundbreaking technologies that could revolutionize mass production for decades to come.
Production is largely automated. Machines and computers handle 75 percent of the value chain on their own; the rest of the work is done by people. Only at the beginning of the manufacturing process is anything touched by human hands when an employee places the initial component (a bare circuit board) on a production line.
The spectrum ranges from an automatic moulder and tool grinding machine to an optimizing crosscut saw and CNC center as well as automation and scanner technology. "With this production line San Lim is a technological trailblazer in the region" says Anthony Teo of Michael Weinig Asia.
Data Cabler Implementing the "two pass" manufacturing method and combining the backtwist twinners and high speed single twist cabler for assembling 4 to 25 pair backbone LAN cables.

Move over itty bitty bikinis! This season it is all about the one-piece bathing suits. Long gone are the days that one-pieces are considered boring and plain. They are fun, flattering, and super cute. Plus, some are even more sultry than a two piece.
Have you noticed lately that all the "it" girls have been wearing Gucci? I can't go a day without seeing someone's instagraming their new Gucci Dionysus bag (no shame, that bag is gorgeous!). The funny part is Gucci lost traction in the fashion scene the last decade and just started to emerge again as a must-have status piece.
But then again, it is the era of second chances! Think about all the 90s revivals that happened this year. Gucci was bound to get a makeover. This successful makeover is attributed to the new creative director, Alessandro Michele. He definitely took the brand's image up ten notches. Besides the vibrant colors he infused into the double GG line, Michele made a point to stay one step ahead. Partnering with graffiti artist Trouble Andrew to create the latest installment GucciGhost, is just one example.

There are a number of accounts of the first vision. I find that reading the different accounts gives a more complete understanding of what happened to Joseph at this time.
This 1832 account is the earliest known recital of the First Vision which was dictated by the Prophet Joseph Smith to a scribe and recorded and preserved. The Prophet dictated it to Frederick G. Williams between the summer of 1832 and the end of November of that year, and the handwriting has been identified as Williams' by Dean C. Jessee, a member of the staff at the LDS Church Historian's Office.
A History of the life of Joseph Smith Jr an account of his marvelous experience and of all the mighty acts which he doeth in the name of Jesus Christ the son of the living God of whom he beareth record and also an account of the rise of the church of Christ in the eve of time according as the Lord brought forth and established by his hand firstly he receiving the testimony from on high secondly the ministering of Angels thirdly the reception of the holy Priesthood by the ministering of Angels to administer the letter of the Gospel - the Law and commandments as they were given unto him - and the ordinances, forthly a confirmation and reception of the high Priesthood after the holy order of the son of the living God power and ordinance from on high to preach the Gospel in the administration and demonstration of the spirit the Kees of the Kingdom of God conferred upon him and the continuation of the blessings of God to him.
I was born in the town of Charon in the State of Vermont North America on the twenty third day of December A D 1805 of goodly Parents who spared no pains to instructing me in the christian religion at the age of about ten years my Father Joseph Smith Senior moved to Palmyra Ontario County in the State of New York and being in indigent circumstances were obliged to labor hard for the Support of a large Family having nine children and as it required the exertions of all that were able to render any assistance for the Support of the Family therefore we were deprived of the benefit of an education Suffice it to Say I was merely instructed in reading and writing and the ground rules of Arithmetic which constituted my whole literary acquirements.
At about the age of twelve years my mind became seriously impressed with regard to the all important concerns for the welfare of my immortal Soul which led me to Searching the Scriptures believing as I was taught, that they contained the word of God thus applying myself to them and my intimate acquaintance with those of different denominations led me to marvel exceedingly for I discovered that they did not adorn instead of adorning their profession by a holy walk and Godly conversation agreeable to what I found contained in the Sacred depository this was a grief to my Soul thus from the age of twelve years to fifteen I pondered many things in my heart concerning the situation of the world of mankind the contentions and divisions the wickedness and abominations and the darkness which pervaded the of the minds of mankind my mind become exceedingly distressed for I became convicted of my Sins and by Searching the Scriptures I found that mankind did not come unto the Lord but that they had apostatized from the true and living faith and there was no society or denomination that built upon the Gospel of Jesus Christ as recorded in the new testament and I felt to mourn for my own Sins and for the Sins of the world for I learned in the Scriptures that God was the same yesterday today and forever that he was no respecter to persons for he was God for I looked upon the sun the glorious luminary of the earth and also the moon rolling in their majesty through the heavens and also the Stars Shining in their courses and the earth also upon which I stood and the beast of the field and the fowls of heaven and the fish of the waters and also man walking forth upon the face of the earth in majesty and in the Strength of beauty whose power and intelligence in governing the things which are so exceeding great and marvelous even in the likeness of him who created them and when I considered upon these things my heart exclaimed well hath the wise man Said it is a fool that Saith in his heart there is no God my heart exclaimed all all these bear testimony and bespeak an omnipotent and omnipresent power a being who maketh Laws and decreeeth and bindeth all things in their bounds who filleth Eternity who was and is and will be from all Eternity to Eternity and when I considered all these things and that being Seeketh such to worship him as worship him in spirit and in truth therefore I cried unto the Lord for mercy for there was none else to whom I could go and to obtain mercy and the Lord heard my cry in the wilderness and while in the attitude of calling upon the Lord in the 16th year of my age a pillar of fire light above the brightness of the Sun at noon day come down from above and rested upon me and I was filled with the Spirit of God and the Lord opened the heavens upon me and I Saw the Lord and He Spake unto me Saying Joseph my Son thy Sins are forgiven thee.
Nevertheless I fell into transgression and sinned in many things which brought wound upon my Soul and there were many things which transpired that cannot be written and my Fathers family have suffered many persecutions and afflictions.
In 1835 Joseph Smith related his experience in the grove to a visitor to Kirtland, a man named Matthias. This account was recorded by Warren Cowdery.
Monday Nov. 9th … While sitting in his house this morning between the hours of ten an eleven a man came in and introduced himself to him calling himself Joshua the Jewish Minister. His appearance was something singular, having a beard about three inches in length which is quite grey, his hair was also long and considerably silvered with age. He had the appearance of a man about 50 or 55 years old.
He was tall and straight, slender frame, blue eyes, thin visage, and fair complexion. He wore a green frock coat and pantaloons of the same color. He had on a black fur hat with a narrow brim. When speaking he frequently shuts his eyes and exhibits a kind of scowl upon his countenance. He (Joseph) made some inquiry after his name, but received no definite answer.
The conversation soon turned upon the subject of Religion, and after the subject of this narrative had made some remarks concerning the bible, he commenced giving him a relation of the circumstances, connected with the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, which were nearly as follows. Being wrought up in my mind respecting the subject of Religion, and looking at the different systems taught the children of men, I knew not who was right or who was wrong, but considered it of the first importance to me that I should be right, in matters of so much moment, matter involving eternal consequences.
Being thus perplexed in mind I retired to the silent grove and there bowed down before the Lord, under a realizing sense (if the bible be true) ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened, seek and you shall find, and again, if any man lack wisdom, let of God who giveth to all men liberally & upbraideth not. Information was what I most desired at this time, and with a fixed determination to obtain it, I called on the Lord for the first time in the place above stated, or in other words, I made a fruitless attempt to pray My tongue seemed to be swollen in my mouth, so that I could not utter, I heard a noise behind me like some one walking towards me.
I strove again to pray, but could not; the noise of walking seemed to draw nearer, I sprang upon my feet and looked round, but saw no person or thing that was calculated to produce the noise of walking. I kneeled again, my mouth was opened and my tongue loosed; I called on the Lord in mighty prayer. A pillar of fire appeared above my head; which presently rested down upon me, and filled me with unspeakable joy.
A personage appeared in the midst of this pillar of flame, which was spread all around and yet nothing consumed. Another personage soon appeared like unto the first: he said unto me thy sins are forgiven thee. He testified also unto me that Jesus Christ is the son of God. I saw many angels in this vision. I was about 14 years old when I received this first communication.
The account of the early history of the Church, including a description of the First Vision, which appears in the Pearl of Great Price was originally dictated by the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1838. The manuscript copy located in the Church Historian's Office is in the handwriting of James Mulholland, who was Joseph's scribe in 1839. (This account is not given here. It can be found in the Pearl of Great Price).
A selection from Joseph Smith's history prepared for non-Mormons and known as the Wentworth Letter. It was first published in 1842.
At the request of Mr. John Wentworth, Editor, and Proprietor of the "Chicago Democrat," I have written the following sketch of the rise, progress, persecution, and faith of the Latter-Day Saints, of which I have the honor, under God, of being the founder. Mr. Wentworth says, that he wishes to furnish Mr. Bastow [George Barstow], a friend of his, who is writing the history of New Hampshire, with this document. As Mr. Bastow has taken the proper steps to obtain correct information all that I shall ask at his hands, is, that he publish the account entire, ungarnished, and without misrepresentation.
I was born in the town of Sharon Windsor co., Vermont, on the 23rd of December, A.D. 1805. When ten years old my parents removed to Palmyra New York, where we resided about four years, and from thence we removed to the town of Manchester.
My father was a farmer and taught me the art of husbandry. When about fourteen years of age I began to reflect upon the importance of being prepared for a future state, and upon enquiring the plan of salvation I found that there was a great clash in religious sentiment; if I went to one society they referred me to one plan, and another to another; each one pointing to his own particular creed as the summum bonum of perfection: considering that all could not be right, and that God could not be the author of so much confusion I determined to investigate the subject more fully, believing that if God had a church it would not be split up into factions, and that if he taught one society to worship one way, and administer in one set of ordinances, he would not teach another principles which were diametrically opposed.
Believing the word of God I had confidence in the declaration of James; "If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God who giveth all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him," I retired to a secret place in a grove and began to call upon the Lord, while fervently engaged in supplication my mind was taken away from the objects with which I was surrounded, and I was enwrapped in a heavenly vision and saw two glorious personages who exactly resembled each other in features, and likeness, surrounded with a brilliant light which eclipsed the sun at noon-day.
They told me that all religious denominations were believing in incorrect doctrines, and that none of them was acknowledged of God as his church and kingdom. And I was expressly commanded to "go not after them," at the same time receiving a promise that the fulness of the gospel should at some future time be made known unto me.
A selection from Orson Pratt's An Interesting Account of Several Remarkable Visions, 1840, the first known publication of the First Vision.
Mr. Joseph Smith, jun. who made the following important discovery, was born in the town of Sharon, Windsor county, Vermont, on the 23rd December, A.D. 1805. When ten years old, his parents, with their family, moved to Palmyra, New York; in the vicinity of which he resided for about eleven years, the latter part in the town of Manchester. Cultivating the earth for a livelihood was his occupation, in which he employed the most of his time.
His advantages for acquiring literary knowledge, were exceedingly small; hence, his education was limited to a slight acquaintance, with two or three of the common branches of learning. He could read without much difficulty, and write a very imperfect hand; and had a very limited understanding of the ground rules of arithmetic. These were his highest and only attainments; while the rest of those branches, so universally taught in the common schools, throughout the United States, were entirely unknown to him.
When somewhere about fourteen or fifteen years old, he began seriously to reflect upon the necessity of being prepared for a future state of existence; but how, or in what way, to prepare himself, was a question, as yet, undetermined in his own mind. He perceived that it was a question of infinite importance, and that the salvation of his soul depended upon a correct understanding of the same.
He saw, that if he understood not the way, it would be impossible to walk in it, except by chance; and the thought of resting his hopes of eternal life upon chance, or uncertainties, was more than he could endure. If he went to the religious denominations to seek information, each one pointed to its particular tenets, saying- "This is the way, walk ye in it;" while, at the same time, the doctrines of each were in many respects, in direct opposition to one another.
It also occurred to his mind that God was the author of but one doctrine, and therefore could acknowledge but one denomination as his church, and that such denomination must be a people who believe and teach that one doctrine, (whatever it may be,) and build upon the same. He then reflected upon the immense number of doctrines, now in the world, which had given rise to many hundreds of different denominations.
The great question to be decided in his mind, was-if any one of these denominations be the Church of Christ, which one is it? Until he could become satisfied in relations to this question, he could not rest contented. To trust to the decisions of fallible man, and build his hopes upon the same, without any certainty, and knowledge of his own, would not satisfy the anxious desires that pervaded his breast.
To decide, without any positive and definite evidence, on which he could rely, upon a subject involving the future welfare of his soul, was revolting to his feelings. The only alternative, that seemed to be left him was to read the Scriptures, and endeavor to follow their directions. He, accordingly commenced perusing the sacred pages of the Bible, with sincerity, believing the things that he read.
His mind soon caught hold of the following passage:- "If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." -James 1:5. From this promise he learned, that it was the privilege of all men to ask God for wisdom, with the sure and certain expectation of receiving liberally; without being upbraided for so doing. This was cheering information to him; tidings that gave him great joy.
It was like a light shinning forth in a dark place, to guide him to the path in which he should walk. He now saw that if he inquired of God, there was not only a possibility, but a probability; yea, more, a certainty, that he should obtain a knowledge, which, of all the churches, was the church of Christ. He therefore, retired to a secret place in a grove, but a short distance from his father's house, and knelt down, and began to call upon the Lord.
At first, he was severely tempted by the powers of darkness, which endeavored to overcome him; but he continued to seek for deliverance, until darkness gave way from his mind, and he was enabled to pray in feverency of the spirit, and in faith. And while thus pouring out his soul, anxiously desiring an answer from God, he at length, saw a very bright and glorious light in the heavens above; which, at first, seemed to be a considerable distance.
He continued praying, while the light appeared to be gradually descending towards him; and as it drew nearer, it increased in brightness and magnitude, so that, by the time that it reached the tops of the trees, the whole wilderness, for some distance around was illuminated in a most glorious and brilliant manner. He expected to have seen the leaves and boughs of the trees consumed, as soon as the light came in contact with them; but perceiving that it did not produce that effect, he was encouraged with the hope of being able to endure its presence.
It continued descending slowly, until it rested upon the earth, and he was enveloped in the midst of it. When it first came upon him, it produced a peculiar sensation throughout his whole system; and immediately, his mind was caught away, from the natural objects with which he was surrounded; and he was enwapped in a heavenly vision, and saw two glorious personages, who exactly resembled each other in their features or likeness.
He was informed that his sins were forgiven. He was also informed upon the subjects, which had for some time previously agitated his mind, viz.-that all the religious denominations were believing in incorrect doctrines; and consequently, that none of them was acknowledged of God, as His church and kingdom. And he was expressly commanded, to go not after them; and he received a promise that the true doctrine-the fulness of the gospel, should, at some future time, be made known to him; after which, the vision withdrew, leaving his mind in a state of calmness and peace, indescribable.
A selection from A Cry From the Wilderness, A Voice From the Dust of the Earth, written by Orson Hyde and published in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1842. Elder Hyde was called on a mission to Jerusalem in 1840 to dedicate that land for the return of the Jews, leaving New York City in February, 1841. After accomplishing his mission in Jerusalem, he traveled to Germany where he published an account of the First Vision in the German language. The translation below was made by Justus Ernst in 1960 and is located in the LDS Chuch Historian's Office. Fist foreign language account of the first vision.
Joseph Smith, Jr., to whom the angel of the Lord was sent first, was born in the town of Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, on the 23rd of December, 1805.
When ten years old, his parents with their family, moved to Palmyra, New York, in the vicinity of which he resided for about eleven years, the latter part in the town of Manchester. His only activity was to plow and cultivate the fields. As his parents were poor and had to take care of a large family, his education was very limited. He could read without much difficulty, and write a very imperfect hand; and had a very limited understanding of the elementary rules of arithmetic. These were his highest and only attainments; while the rest of those branches, so universally taught in the common schools throughout the United States, were entirely unknown to him.
When somewhere about fourteen or fifteen years old, he began seriously to reflect upon the necessity of being prepared for a future state of existence; but how, or in what way to prepare himself, was a question, as yet, undetermined in his own mind; he perceived that it was a question of infinite importance. He saw, that if he understood not the way, it would be impossible to walk in it, except by chance; and the thought of resting his hopes of eternal life upon chance or uncertainties, was more than he could endure.
He discovered a religious world working under numerous errors, which through their contradicting nature and principles, gave cause to the organization of so many different sects and parties, and whose feelings against each other were poisoned through hate, envy, malice and rage. He felt that there should be only one truth, and that those who would understand it correctly, would understand it in the same manner. Nature had gifted him with a strong, discerning mind and so he looked through the glass of soberness and good sense upon these religious systems which all were so different; but nevertheless all drawn from the scripture of truth.
After he had sufficiently assured himself to his own satisfaction that darkness was covering the earth, and gross darkness the minds of the people, he gave up hope ever to find a sect or party that was in the possession of the pure and unadulterated truth.
He accordingly commenced perusing the sacred pages of the Bible with sincerity, believing the things that he read. His mind soon caught hold of the following passage- "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5. From this promise he learned that it was the privilege of all men to ask God for wisdom, with the sure and certain expectation of receiving liberally, without being upbraided for so doing.
And thus he started to send the burning desires of his soul with a faithful determination. He, therefore, retired to a secret place, in a grove, but a short distance from his father's house, and knelt down and began to call upon the Lord. At first, he was severely tempted by the powers of darkness, which endeavored to overcome him. The adversary benighted his mind with doubts, and brought to his soul all kinds of improper pictures and tried to hinder him in his efforts and the accomplishment of his goal.
However, the overflowing mercy of God came to buoy him up, and gave new impulse and momentum to his dwindling strength. Soon the dark clouds disappeared, and light and peace filled his troubled heart. And again he called upon the Lord with renewed faith and spiritual strength. At this sacred moment his mind was caught away from the natural objects with which he was surrounded, and he was enwrapped in a heavenly vision, and saw two glorious personages, who exactly resembled each other in their features or likeness. They told him that his prayers had been answered, and that the Lord had decided to grant him a special blessing.
He was told not to join any of the religious sects or any party, as they were all wrong in their doctrines and none of them was recognized by God as His Church and kingdom. He received a promise that the true doctrine-the fulness of the gospel-should, at some future time, be made known to him; after which, the vision withdrew, leaving his mind in a state of calmness and peace indescribable.
An early non-Mormon publication of the First Vision based on an interview with Joseph Smith by the editor of the Pittsburg Gazette who visited Nauvoo in 1843. This account was published in the New York Spectator, September 23, 1843.
The Lord does reveal himself to me. I know it. He revealed himself first to me when I was about fourteen years old, a mere boy. I will tell you about it. There was a reformation among the different religious denominations in the neighborhood where I lived, and I became serious, and was desirous to know what Church to join.
While thinking of this matter, I opened the Testament promiscuously on these words, in James, Ask of the Lord who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not. I just determined I'd ask him. I immediately went out into the woods where my father had a clearing, and went to the stump where I had stuck my axe when I had quit work, and I kneeled down, and prayed, saying, O Lord, what Church shall I join?
Directly I saw a light, and then a glorious personage in the light, and then another personage, and the first personage said to the second, Behold my beloved Son, hear him.-I then addressed this second person, saying, O Lord, what Church shall I join? He replied, "don't join any of them, they are all corrupt." The vision then vanished, and when I came to myself, I was sprawling on my back and it was some time before my strength returned.
When I went home and told the people that I had a revelation, and that all the churches were corrupt, they persecuted me, and they have persecuted me ever since.
On May 24, 1844, shortly before the death of the Prophet, Alexander Neibaur heard Joseph relate his experience in the sacred grove and recorded in his journal his impressions of what Joseph said on that occasion.
After Dinner . . . called at BR. J.S. met Mr. Bonnie. Br. Joseph tolt us the first call he had a Revival Meeting, his Mother, Br. and Sisters got Religion. He wanted to get Religion too, wanted to feel and shout like the rest but could feel nothing, opened his Bible of the first Passage that struck him was if any man lack wisdom let him ask of God who giveth to all men liberallity & upbraideth not.
Went into the Wood to pray, kneels himself Down, his tongue was closet cleaveth to his roof-could utter not a word, felt easier after awhile-saw a fire toward heaven came near and nearer; saw a personage in the fire, light complexion, blue eyes, a piece of white cloth Drawn over his shoulders his right arm bear after a while a other person came to the side of the first.
Mr. Smith then asked, must I join the Methodist Church. No, they are not my People, have gone astray There is none that Doeth good, not one, but this is my Beloved Son harken ye him, the fire drew nigher, Rested upon the tree, enveloped him comforted I endeavored to arise but felt uncomen feeble - got into the house told the Methodist priest, said this was not a age for God to Reveal himself in Vision Revelation has ceased with the New Testament.
One of the early converts who heard Joseph Smith bear his testimony concerning the appearance of the Father and Son and who listened to the three witnesses preach that an angel showed to them the plates form which the Book of Mormon was translated was Edward Stevenson. The following two accounts were recorded by Stevenson in the early 1890's.
The first appeared in his manuscript, "The Life and History, Elder Edward Stevenson," 19-23, located in the Church Historian's Office; and the second reference is quoted from his Reminiscences of Joseph, The Prophet, and the Coming Forth of the Book of Mormon (Salt Lake City, 1893).
The following year after the organization of the Pontiac [Michigan] Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of L. D. Saints, in 1834, we had the pleasure of having a visit from the Prophet Joseph Smith: a plain but noble looking man, of large frame and about 6 feet high. With him was his Father, Joseph Smith, and Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris, whose sister Sophia Kellog lived in our settlement.
A great stir was made in this settlement at so distinguished visitors. The meetings held were crowded to see and hear the testimonies given which were very powerful. I will here relate my own experience on the occasion of a meeting in our log School House. The Prophet stood at a table for the pulpit where he began relating his vision and before he got through he was in the midst of the congregation with up lifted hand.
I do not believe that there was not one person present who did at the time being, or who was not convicted of the truth of his vision, of an Angel to him his countenance seemed to me to assume heavenly whiteness, and his voice was so piercing and forcible for my part it so impressed me as to become indelibly imprinted on my mind.
In those meetings, the Prophet said the gifts and signs should follow believers now as they did the ancient Saints in the days of our Saviours administration, and said he by this shall ye prove me to be a true Prophet. The three witnesses bore their testimonies as to seeing the Angle, and hearing his voice. There were many who were baptized. The visit of this man of God to our house and the testimonies of the 3 witnesses left a lasting remembrance with us and will stand as a witness against those who were so favored above many.
In that same year, 1834, in the midst of many large congregations, the Prophet testified with great power concerning the visit of the Father and the Son, and the conversation he had with them. Never before did I feel such power as was manifested on these occasions.
In a discourse delivered in Salt Lake City on December 7, 1879, John Taylor testified that Joseph informed him of the appearance of the Father and Son and of the visitation of the Angel Moroni, Nephi, and other heavenly messengers. See John Irvine, reporter, Journal of Discourses, XXI (London, 1881), 161-63, from which the following selection has been taken. Italics inserted by the present author.
Now, we will come to other events, of later date; events with which we are associated-I refer now to the time that Joseph Smith came among men. What was his position? And how was he situated? I can tell you what he told me about it. He said that he was very ignorant of the ways, designs and purposes of God, and knew nothing about them; he was a youth unacquainted with religious matters or the systems and theories of the day.
He went to the Lord, having read James' statement, that "If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." He believed that statement and went to the Lord and asked him, and the Lord revealed himself to him together with his Son Jesus, and, pointing to the latter, said: "This is my beloved Son, hear him."
He then asked in regard to the various religions with which he was surrounded. He enquired which of them was right. for he wanted to know the right way and to walk in it. He was told that none of them was right, that they had all departed from the right way. that they had forsaken God the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that could hold no water.
Afterwards the Angel Moroni come to him and revealed to him the Book of Mormon, with the history of which you are generally familiar, and also with the statements that I am now making pertaining to these things. And then came Nephi, one of the ancient prophets, that had lived upon this continent, who had an interest in the welfare of the people that he had lived amongst in those days.

Are Frozen Salmon Fillets Healthy?

Salmon, a fatty fish promoted for its high omega-3 fatty acid content, can be purchased fresh or frozen. Although many people believe that fresh salmon is better for you, there is no scientific evidence that freezing fish changes its nutritional status and some argue that frozen tastes even fresher, especially when frozen at the peak of freshness. Salmon comes in several different varieties based on species. The nutrient content between species can vary, making one type of salmon healthier than another. The following nutritional information is based on Atlantic farm-raised salmon, one of the most popular species consumed in the United States, to demonstrate just how healthy fresh or frozen salmon fillets are.
Freezing salmon does not change the nutrient content.

Dietary protein provides the human body with essential amino acids – those substances the body needs to build the thousands of other proteins needed to support biological reactions and build muscle cells. Animal proteins such as meat and fish provide complete protein, which means it contains all of the amino acids the body needs. Although protein is important, you must also pay attention to the other dietary components, like fat, packaged with the protein. Red meat is an excellent source of complete protein, with 38 g of protein in a 6 oz. serving. Along with that protein, though, you will consume 44 g of fat, 16 g of which is saturated fat -- nearly the entire daily amount of saturated fat recommended. The same serving size of salmon provides 34 g of protein with only 18 g of fat, of which only 4 g consist of saturated fat. The high protein content along with low saturated fat content makes frozen salmon fillets a healthy choice.
The majority of fat in frozen salmon fillets consists of unsaturated fats – considered healthy by the American Heart Association because they help lower blood cholesterol levels. Salmon contains 3.8 g of monounsaturated fatty acids and 3.8 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids in each 3 oz. serving. Salmon also serves as a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids vital to brain function. These fatty acids also help reduce inflammation, which can help reduce the risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease.
Salmon provides many essential vitamins – organic compounds needed to support life functions. A 3 oz. serving contains 2.38 micrograms of vitamin B-12, which supports the formation of healthy red blood cells. That represents nearly the entire daily recommended intake, listed by the National Institute of Medicine as 2.4 micrograms per day. Frozen salmon also serves as a good source of other B vitamins, including niacin, pantothenic acid, folate and vitamin B-6. Salmon also provides vitamin A and a small amount of vitamin C.
The body uses the essential minerals calcium and phosphorus to build strong bones and teeth. Salmon contains 13 mg of calcium and 214 mg of phosphorus in a 3 oz. serving. Salmon also serves as a good source of magnesium, potassium and selenium. The mineral content along with the vitamins, protein and omega-3 fatty acids made frozen salmon fillets a healthy addition to your diet.

New Year in Moscow
Steven Leigh Morris January 3, 2007
The New Year's Eve table in my family's Moscow living room is festive, with fish salads, black bread and sliced meats for 10, a number that was rounded up at the last minute to include my wife's grade-school sweetheart, Nikolai Stepanovich Belinsky. He had nowhere else to go.
Belinsky, a large man who walks with a cane, limps in with a laugh and a huge strawberry cake. He gets off to a poor start by gregariously telling crude jokes in his thundering basso profundo, while addressing everyone with the overly familiar ti rather than the more respectful vi. He rubs his eyes frequently and keeps booming out vo, short for vot, a colloquial expression meaning "and so it is." He says this with a gesture of one hand slicing through his neck like a knife.
The other guests — students, music teachers and tech administrators — speak softly and listen politely. They would probably have been more receptive to Belinsky's eccentricities were it not so obvious that this New Year's Eve dinner was, for him, just another leg in a marathon drinking binge.
After an hour or so, Belinsky decides that I, who have never met him before and who am the only American in the room, am his dearest friend.
At one minute after midnight, as is the New Year's custom here, all eyes tune in to the dour face of President Putin on TV congratulating Russia for making it through another year and proclaiming that the government exists to help the needy. That said, he reminds his countrymen that the strength of Russia comes from the strength of its families. A Russian flag flutters in front of the Kremlin, accompanied by a moving choral rendition of Russia's national anthem.
Shortly after, Belinsky and I are alone in the tiny kitchen. He's chain-smoking and drinking gin, confiding in Russian that his wife has thrown him out, cutting him off from his two sons, ages 4 and 14, whom he says he cherishes. Belinsky shows me their photographs. The snapshots also include his wife, a slender brunette whom he says he adores, and his father, a rotund KGB colonel wearing a flak jacket. Belinsky's been living with his dad since his wife evicted him three months ago. When she tossed him out, she told him that he doesn't match her status, though she works as a salesperson.
"She knew I was a carpenter when she married me," Belinsky says. "Just back from the war in Afghanistan. She knew who I was, what I'd been through. After 20 years of marriage, how could she say that?"
"Do you think she's found somebody else?" I ask tentatively.
"Vo," Belinsky says, nodding. "Years ago, one day she came home at dawn. I say, 'Tell me, bitch, have you been out fucking somebody?' She was quiet for a very long time. Then, softly, she said, 'No.' Then, just as softly, she told me to go fuck myself. After that, we had our second son, and neither of us ever mentioned that night again."
When Belinsky flips open his cigarette lighter, the AK-47 of a Jean-Claude Van Damme–like action figure starts flashing in red to the rat-tat-tat of a machine gun while a voice repeats, "Fire, fire, fire." Belinsky tells me he loves Van Damme and Clint Eastwood movies and Oliver Stone's Platoon.
"Vo," he says, kissing the tips of his fingers. "There are friends, but in the army, in war, it's — what's your word? — brothers."
My wife enters the kitchen and asks Belinsky if he was in combat, and for a moment he goes slightly berserk: "I was never there! No! It didn't happen! It never existed!"
A moment later, he calmly says one had to be on heroin to survive the sight of friends being shot and burned alive.
It's now 8 a.m. New Year's Day, dawn is breaking, and the guests have all left. Belinsky and I are still in the kitchen. He's still drinking and smoking and is in the middle of an insane diatribe against all Arabic nations and peoples. Like a child, he imitates Van Damme.
After a brief silence, Belinsky pulls out English words from the shed of his memory, taking remarkable care with the grammar and meaning: "Our . . . life . . . is . . . shit," he says.
Returning to Russian, he asks if things are better in America, if there are Van Dammes winning battles for goodness and justice. Is it any different, or is it all shit, like in Russia?
At 11 a.m., we go to sleep — he on a couch two floors down in the apartment of my wife's mother. At 4 p.m., as though in a dream, I hear "Fire, fire, fire" and voices from the kitchen. I stagger in to see that Belinsky has moved from gin to tequila.
Finally, at 7 p.m. New Year's Day, I return from walking the dogs to see a figure hunched over a cane, a backpack draped over one shoulder, limping down Fortunatovskaya Street in the lamplight.

Q: pandas filter rows based on missing dates for a column I am trying to filter a column X and get all the missing weeks data.
For example, a df (sample date, where in actual df we will have whole week's data):
mean_date         column X
2021-04-01        x_123
2021-04-01        y_324
2021-04-02        x_123
2021-04-03        x_123

I need to find all the missing dates for a corresponding column X in the current week, i.e.
result_df:
mean_date_missing     column_X
2021-03-28            x_123
2021-03-29            x_123
2021-03-30            x_123
2021-03-31            x_123
..
2021-03-28            y_324
2021-03-29            y_324
2021-03-30            y_324
2021-03-31            y_324
2021-04-02            y_324
2021-04-03            y_324

A: Probably not the most elegant way to do this, but I think this could work:
At first, I'd get a list of all dates of that week, let's call it weekdays. You can either do it manually or write a function for it (you should find solutions for that if you google). So, you now have something like this:
weekdays = ["2021-04-01", "2021-04-02", "2021-04-03", "2021-04-04", "2021-04-05"]

Next, I'd group the DataFrame by column X since you want to find the missing days for each possible value of that column respectively.
grouped = df.groupby(df["column x"])

Then, iterate over it to find the missing dates per group:
missing_list = []
for key, item in grouped:
    existing_dates = item["mean_date"].to_list()
    missing_dates = np.setdiff1d(weekdays, existing_dates)
    for date in missing_dates:
        missing_list.append([date, key])

Now, all necessary information is stored in missing_list. You just need to make a DataFrame from this:
result_df = pd.DataFrame(missing_list, columns=["mean_date_missing", "column x"])

ushcare's Major Day Out event in Minim Cove Park Bushland on Sunday 18th September from 9am to 11.30am.
This coincides with our local annual "STOMP" event which will see 100 youngsters race around Mosman Park to check out the local community groups. That's us!
To pass our check point they'll need to identify weedy Euphorbia terracina growing amongst our natives in Gnarangup Park and pull out at least five plants. That means we can concentrate on other weeds.
This Euphorbia is the tall yellowy plant poking out of the native clump of sedges in the photo. It's seeds will keep germinating up to 20 years after the plant is removed. This is a good one to show the next generation! A good one to remove now before seeds form.
Meet at the small gate around the bushland off Fairbairn street! See attachment!
Chance of rain forecasted! Wear old clothes suitable for bush work and weather prediction! Water bottle, closed shoes and hat advisable!
Morning tea, tools and gloves supplied!


We were sitting with a new client detailing their assets. They hoped to retire in a few years and hired us to help them get there. All of a sudden he remembered one of his first jobs and had a faint recollection of having some sort of a pension plan at that job. (A pension plan is a type of plan where your employer sets aside dollars so that at some future date you have a right to monthly income or in some cases a lump sum). He had no documents with him so when he left our office he had a job to do…find that pension.
We were not too worried.
Our new client, however, was a little worried that he would never see this benefit or income again. In 1974, the government set up something called ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act). Basically the new law gave more power to the government to supervise and enforce "pension promises" and protect the employees. Our client's pension benefit was most likely out there somewhere and we just needed to find it.
What could have happened to an old pension?
If the company he had worked for was still in existence, it may be as simple as a phone call. But, according to the PBGC website (Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation), sometimes things happen which can create some difficulty in finding lost pension benefits. If the original company has reorganized the pension may now sit with the new company. The plan may have been purchased by an insurance company that now has the obligation to pay the benefits. If the original company failed, the plan may have been taken over by the PBGC which now will pay out the pension benefits (up to certain maximum limits). Some companies decide to terminate their plans and pay out the benefits to those employees that they can find. If you are someone that they did not find, they could have turned over your benefit to the PBGC. Finally, and this is the worst case scenario, it is possible that your prior employer simply terminated the plan and did nothing. While this may be illegal, it is still possible.
How can you find an old pension?
Knowing that you can "lose a pension" for multiple reasons like a company going bankrupt, changing names, a pensioner changing addresses, a merge, a purchase, a sell, and more, how do you go about finding a lost pension? The PBGC has set up a website to help recover lost pensions. Head to Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and then select "Find An Unclaimed Pension". You will then be able to search using your name, company name or company state. It is actually fairly easy. I did some digging and found 262 lost pensions from Braniff, 1,126 from Fluor and 626 from Enron. If you find one that may be yours, you will be asked to enter some additional information and then someone will contact you.
Luckily, for our client he didn't need to search too far to find his lost pension. We still did a search on the website just to make sure. Why don't you take a few minutes to search for your name? You never know what unclaimed benefits might be out there.


PAT: Process Analysis Toolkit – 1, Aug, 2010: PAT 3.1.0 is released. PAT is cross-platform now: running on Linux, Mac OS and more!
1, Aug, 2010: PAT 3.1.0 is released. PAT is cross-platform now: running on Linux, Mac OS and more!
After some efforts, we glad to release PAT 3.1.0, which can run in all platforms: Linux, Mac OS and more!
The solution is to use Mono, which is an open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET.
You should install mono tool in your system which is freely available. Please download from here according to your OS.
Download PAT 3.x. But choose the directly executable version to some place in your computer.
Type the command mono "PAT 3.exe" into terminal. Bingo! You will see the GUI of our PAT.
Note that running PAT in Mono, the performance can be (much) slower than runing PAT in Windows.
Here is some prelimenary experiment on the CSP linearizability Stack example, with same laptop but different OS.
1) Email sending in Mac OS is not working. This is an issue of Mono library.
2) Sometimes the first line of the model (or part of the model) is invisible, and user should click there to see the text.
3) in simulation window, it works very well except the Save and Export buttons. These two buttons are invisible before you click them.
If you find bugs and issues when running PAT in Mono, please do About Us.
Other update in the version 3.1.0 including bug fixing and new examples.
← 14, July, 2010: PAT 3.0.0 is released!

Underrated Ghost Stories And Mythical Creatures All Over The World: Forty-seventh Stop – Charleston, South Carolina
Published by Katherine at April 24, 2019
Pahang, Malaysia is the third largest Malaysian state and is thinly populated. If you want to visit a place with rain forests, national parks, huge freshwater lakes, mountains, and hill stations, Pahang, Malaysia is the right state to visit.

For thrill seekers, however, the area in Pahang, Malaysia that they tend to visit is the First World Hotel. It is one of the most haunted hotels in the state and if you are lucky, you would see the ghosts of gamblers who committed suicide at the hotel because they lost everything they owned at the in-house casinos.

History Of The First World Hotel
The First World Hotel is one of the best hotels to go to in Pahang, Malaysia because there is an indoor theme park and it sits atop a tropical rainforest.

The first tower of First World Hotel was opened in 2001. Additional rooms were added and tower 2 was opened in 2005. After the 2005 additions, there were a total of 6, 118 rooms and it was dubbed as the largest hotel by the Guinness World Records. However, in 2008, The Palazzo, located in the Las Vegas Strip, took the title from the First World Hotel. In 2015, The First World Hotel had another tower called 2A and it regained the title of being the largest hotel in the world. Today, The First World Hotel has 7, 351 rooms in 28 floors.
The hotel boasts of 35.5 million visitors since tower 2A opened for operations.

Ghostly Stories At The First World Hotel
According to the stories that have been relayed by visitors and the staff at the First World Hotel, the most common ghosts that could be seen are those who committed suicide or were murdered because of gambling.
Some visitors claimed that they saw apparitions of ghosts jumping over the cliff but they never reach the ground because they seem to vanish into thin air. Others say that they could not sleep well at night during their stay because they hear these troubled ghosts who lost everything because of gambling. Visitors also said that they saw a headless woman who walks around the corridor looking for her head.
The Floating Ghost At The First World Hotel
One of the most famous stories is the encounter of a woman and her family when they stayed at the First World Hotel years ago. The woman booked two rooms for seven people. Everything was going well when they spent their day at the arcade and the theme park. They had dinner and went to their rooms. However, when they were bathing their baby, a three-year-old boy, he suddenly waved to someone at the window of the living room.

They were on the 17th floor so it was impossible for someone to be saying hi to the boy from their window. When the woman looked at the living room window, she was so shocked and scared to see a woman who was floating. The woman allegedly had black hair and a pale complexion. The husband and the uncle then came to see what the commotion was about and saw the floating woman, too. The uncle then started praying and that was when the floating woman suddenly disappeared.
The family checked out immediately the next day. It remains unclear to whom the ghost of the floating woman belongs to.
TripAdvisor Stories From Former Guests At The First World Hotel
There are a lot of ghostly encounters posted on the travel website called TripAdvisor. Here are some of the accounts of guests who stayed at the First World Hotel in the past.

A man said he stayed at the First World Hotel with his partner. He shared, "…at 3.47am, our doorbell rings and no one is there! Not sure because of the doorbell itself has faulty wiring or something else play with us. Forgot to check when we check out whether room that we stayed has doorbell or not."
Another family also stayed at the First World Hotel and the woman shared that they were assigned in a corner room. When they were about to check out, their friend said that she saw a dark figure when she was sleeping. Their husbands then went to pick up their vehicles and while waiting, the doorbell suddenly rang. They then heard a bunch of kids laughing. They opened the door and did not see anyone outside. The doorbell rang once again and the laughter was louder the second time. They opened the door again in hopes of catching the pranksters but they did not see anyone outside their door.
Another encounter states, "I have experienced this also some years back, children footsteps and I also keep hearing wooden chairs being moved about at night. It sounded like from upstairs or somewhere nearby."
Some people on TripAdvisor said that there were really suicides that took place at the First World Hotel but they never get reported because they are covered up.
