Just days after admitting that he "hated" his LASERS album, a new interview with Lupe Fiasco has surfaced where he claims his record label is holding him hostage.
The We Are Lasers head sat down with Chicago's Sun Times to speak on the process of making the project and revealed that he felt like he was being 'held up' by the label.
"I was specifically told" — Fiasco chuckled — "'Don't rap too deep on this record.'" He laughed some more. "That was a specific order from the top. 'You're rapping too fast or too slow, or it's too complex.' …
There are consequences and combat that comes from that process and the eventual compromise. With me, though, I'm not writing about someone else. I'm writing about me. This is my life. It's very personal for me. So for somebody to kind of put their fingers in that and play with that, it becomes more damaging."
He adds more specifically,
"I am a hostage. I gave them what they wanted. If I didn't, at the end of the day the album wasn't coming out."
Lupe has had very public issues with Atlantic Records in the past, culminating with a petition from fans for the label to release his album.

Upcoming Events
Yom Yerushalayim--Jerusalem Day--is the most modern of Jewish holidays. It celebrates the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli rule following the Six Day War of June 1967. Although it is joyously celebrated in Israel, Yom Yerushalayim has yet to attain widespread popularity in the Diaspora. It is celebrated on the 28th of Iyar, in May or June (one week before the eve of Shavuot).
Erev Yom Yerushalyim, Saturday, May 16
Yom Yerushalyim, Sunday, May 17
Yom Yerushalayim--Jerusalem Day--is the most recent addition to the Hebrew calendar. It is celebrated on the 28th day of Iyar (six weeks after the Passover seder, one week before the eve of Shavuot). Although Jerusalem has been considered the capital city of the Jewish people since the time of King David--who conquered it and built it as the seat of his monarchy in approximately 1000 B.C.E.--there has never been a special day in honor of the city until the Israeli army took over the ancient, eastern part of the city on the third day of the Six-Day War in June 1967.
Shortly after the Six Day War, "a municipal unification" of the two sections of the city took place, ending 19 years of separation between predominantly Arab and Jewish suburbs of Jerusalem, following the War of Independence in 1948.
Due to the young age of this holiday, there is still not much which makes it unique in terms of customs and traditions. It is gradually becoming a "pilgrimage" day, when thousands of Israelis travel (some hike!) to Jerusalem to demonstrate solidarity with the city. This show of solidarity is of special importance to the state of Israel, since the international community has never approved the "reunification" of the city under Israeli sovereignty, and many countries have not recognized Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State (The United Nations "partition plan" of November 1947 assigned a status of "International City" to Jerusalem).
The Israeli education system devotes the week preceding this day to enhancing the knowledge of the history and geography of the city, with a special emphasis on the unique role that it played in Jewish messianic aspirations since Biblical times.
The status of Yom Yerushalayim in Jewish religious life seems more ambiguous than the religious status of Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel Independence Day). Following the model of Yom Ha'atzmaut, the Chief Rabbinate of Israel has decided that this day should also be marked with the recital of Hallel (psalms of praise), and with the lengthier version of Psukei d'Zimra (the psalms in the earlier part of the morning service). It is quite clear that ultra-Orthodox Jews, in Israel and abroad, have not accepted Yom Yerushalayim, but it is not clear how many Orthodox Jews chant the Hallel psalms on this day.
Israel's Progressive (Reform) prayerbook notes that Hallel should be recited on Yom Yerushalayim, but not so the Masorti (Conservative) prayerbook, which does suggest a list of supplemental readings for this day. The American Conservative siddur, Sim Shalom, mentions that Hallel is recited "in some congregations" on Yom Yerushalayim.
The ambiguity of the religious status of this holiday is reflected in celebrations--or lack thereof-- outside of Israel. While the city of Jerusalem has significant meaning for all Jews, Yom Yerushalayim has yet to obtain the popularity of Yom Ha'atzmaut and is not observed extensively outside of Israel.
In addition, unlike Yom Ha'atzmaut--which is a day to celebrate the existence and successes of the modern Jewish state--Yom Yerushalayim can make some politically liberal Jews outside of Israel uncomfortable, due to the continuing conflicts over the future of the city. Even some Jews who believe that the city should remain undivided and under Israel's control choose not to emphasize Yom Yerushalayim as a day of joy because of the deeply emotional, violent, and controversial state of affairs surrounding the Arab portions of Jerusalem. Others, however, believe that despite the current political conflicts, an undivided Jerusalem is something to be celebrated openly and unhesitatingly, a sign like Yom Ha'atzmaut of Jewish political independence.
A common citation in Yom Yerushalayim celebrations in Israel is the quote (Psalm 122:4) Ir shehubrah lah yahdaiv-- "a city that is compact together" or "a city uniting all." (This translation is probably influenced by a rabbinic midrash on this verse which interpreted the phrase to reflect events in rabbinic times. In using the citation today, a modern midrash has been built on the rabbinic interpretation.)
The course which Yom Yerushalayim will take in future decades will be influenced, undoubtedly by the political developments which will determine the status of the city in future times.

Dishing "the Dirt"
1. I have unusual parents. Both my parents were anti-war activists in the 1960's and very involved in the Men's and Women's Movements. They attended rap groups and delved into things. As a result, my Dad realized he was gay and my parents got divorced. I feel pretty certain that having a gay Dad has made me empathize with minorities and oppressed groups more than I might have otherwise. I've always identified with the underdog. And let's face it, when it's your Dad and someone makes a homophobic comment, it's personal.
2. Steve and I are going to try and swing getting engaged and married this year! We've been together going on 6 years now and I cannot believe how the time has flown by. From the very beginning, we both have felt very set on each other. It's kind of a formality to us and I am not sure how we are going to do it as we aren't church-goers but then I'm not too keen on Vegas either.
3. I love reading memoirs and plan to write my own someday. I've actually started one, but I have a long way to go. Also, I was an English Major and studied Creative Writing in College. I was particularly adept at Poetry, although I don't really write it anymore.
4. I used to have a drinking problem and I do not drink anymore. I haven't had a drink for over 15 years now. It's a long story, but suffice it to say I didn't play nice when drinking and I don't want to revisit that again so I don't drink anymore.
5. Some of you may know this already, but I am pretty politically oriented. I come from a liberal background, many of my Mother's best friends were all activists and are incredible role models. I care alot about neighborhood politics and am prone to "getting involved" in local causes. I pick up the litter on my block regularly, attend community meetings and CAPs, and am planning to start a Block Club and send letters this year to owners that do not pick up the litter.
I hope we can all still be friends now :)
and now Tag you're it!(if you have time- no pressure)

I always love reading the various house blogs on houseblogs.net, but I'm really enjoying this "tag" game that's helping to put a much more personal face on so many of the home owners!
And regarding your first comment, I've always said that sometimes all it takes is knowing one gay person to make someone realize that homophobic comments and discriminatory attitudes aren't ok. And "coming out" as the friend or family member of someone gay is an equally important step in eliminating that discrimination and hatred. Thank you for that!
BTW, you might want to check out www.colage.org, which is geared more for kids of LGBT parents, but which has a lot of supporters, members, volunteers, and newsletter contributors who are adult children of LGBT parents, who have things to say that are helpful both to the kids and to the parents. Since you're a writer, maybe I'll see an article by you in a future newsletter!
In the Furniture After section on the side bar of your log page I noticed in the image ,that the motif was Piet Mondrian, which fits...since the era of the preservationist theme concerning your site spans from Victorian/Edwardian era reaction through handicraft alongside modernism(Mondrian and enlightened searchings, theosophism perhaps) onward to postmodernism with more crafts and this blogdates information regarding a pluralistic society(albeit personal)and polymorphing into net-time with DIY'ing and electronic selfpublishing which may be a current aesthetic itself. Is this validly objective?

I already knew you were cool, and now I know that you are even cooler still! You rock Jocelyn :)

Great points. That, my friend, is a really important point. Unless you're a contractor, it's hard to make sure you don't get ripped off when you bring in a remodeler to fix up your home. What do you do if you're cost conscious about a remodeling project, but don't know what to do?One great way to get pricing on projects like this is to submit your project inquiry into one of the companies that helps match you with qualified remodeling contractors. For example, at Remodeling In Town.com you can submit your project info for free, and then lots of contractors can see the project. They have this technology that makes sure the contractors who can actually do your job can then contact you to give you an estimate. I think it's pretty cool cuz you can save money once you get a bunch of quotes, ya know?

Thanks for sharing Jocelyn! You are very special and missed here in Missouri.

Well, as you know, I'm a big proponent of CAPS and successfully planned a wedding with house chaos going on (aka a new roof 2 weeks before). Thanks for sharing!

I was born two wonderful parents. When I was young, my father was a contact engineer. During the first 12 years of my life we moved to several cities. This affected me greatly by my both parents' strained marriage and by attending 13 different schools by the time I was in fifth grade. I was emotional withdrawn and scared. This however, would set the stage for God to heal me and later lead me into a life of helping others be freed from past issues.
In 2006 God put me on the mission field in Honduras where I am teaching inner healing (how to be free from past issues) and rescuing abuse & abandon women and their children. We have a house where they live, receive education, are trained in God's values, discipleship, inner healing and taught a trade. It is amazing to see people who had no self-esteem once again, have one and shine for Jesus.

Yale Club of New York City
Coordinates: 40°45′14″N 73°58′39″W / 40.754019°N 73.977524°W
|Private club for Yale alumni and faculty
|50 Vanderbilt Avenue
New York, New York 10017
The Yale Club of New York City, commonly called The Yale Club, is a private club in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Its membership is restricted almost entirely to alumni and faculty of Yale University. With a clubhouse comprising 22 stories, the Yale Club has a worldwide membership of over 11,000. Upon opening in 1915, the building became the largest clubhouse in the world and continues to be the largest college clubhouse in existence.[1]
The club is located at 50 Vanderbilt Avenue, at the intersection of East 44th Street,[2] across Vanderbilt Avenue from Grand Central Terminal and the MetLife Building. Four other clubs affiliated with Ivy League universities have clubhouses in the surrounding neighborhood: the Harvard Club of New York, the Princeton Club of New York, the Penn Club of New York City, and the Cornell Club.[3] The neighborhood also includes similar clubs not affiliated with universities, like the New York Yacht Club and the University Club of New York,[3] as well as the flagship stores of Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and Paul Stuart, which traditionally catered to the club set.[4] The building is a New York City designated landmark.[5]
The 22-story clubhouse contains three dining spaces (the "Tap Room," the "Grill Room," and the Roof Dining Room and Terrace), four bars (in the Tap Room, Grill Room, Main Lounge, and on the Roof Terrace), banquet rooms for up to 500 people like the 20th floor Grand Ballroom, 138 Guest Rooms, a library, a Fitness and Squash Center with three international squash courts and a swimming pool, and a barber shop, among other amenities. The heart of the clubhouse is the main lounge, a large room with a high, ornate ceiling and large columns and walls lined with fireplaces and portraits of the five Yale-educated United States presidents, all of whom are or were members of the Yale Club: William Howard Taft, Gerald R. Ford, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush.[6] Outside the lounge above the main staircase hangs a posthumous portrait of Elihu Yale by Francis Edwin Elwell.
Early history[edit]
The roots of the club reach back to 1868 and the foundation of the Old Yale Alumni Association of New York. In response to the association's desire for a permanent clubhouse, it formally established the Yale Club in 1897. One of the incorporators was Senator Chauncey Depew, whose portrait by the Swiss-born American artist Adolfo Müller-Ury painted in 1890 hangs in the building. The first president of the Yale Club was attorney Thomas Thacher, founder of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. The first clubhouse was a rented brownstone at 17 East 26th Street. Thereafter, in 1901, the club built and opened a new, twelve-story clubhouse at 30 West 44th Street, which today is home to the Penn Club of New York.[3]
The current clubhouse opened in June 1915, designed by architect and Yale alumnus James Gamble Rogers in conjunction with the construction of Grand Central Terminal.[2] It was largely paid for by money raised or contributed by President George C. Ide of Brooklyn (whose portrait by George Burroughs Torrey also hangs in the building). It purposely was situated on the very corner where Yale alumnus Nathan Hale was hanged by the British Army for espionage during the American Revolution.[7] Today, the site of Hale's execution is disputed.[7]
According to the Ken Burns documentary Prohibition, the Yale Club was able to stock up enough liquor to see the club through the repeal of Prohibition in 1933.
21st century[edit]
In July 1999, the Yale Club became the first of New York's Ivy League university clubs to change its dress code to business casual, a move which upset some members and was received with polite scorn from other clubs.[8] Today, the dress code remains business casual, except in the athletic facilities. In the fall of 2012, the club began to allow denim to be worn in the library, the Grill Room, and on the rooftop terrace during the summer, but nowhere else, as long as it is "neat, clean, and in good repair."[9]
Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, the Heisman Trophy, traditionally presented at the Downtown Athletic Club, was presented at the Yale Club in 2002 and 2003.[10][11] The 2002 winner was quarterback Carson Palmer of the USC Trojans, and the 2003 winner was quarterback Jason White of the University of Oklahoma Sooners. Before the two Heisman Trophy ceremonies, the un-awarded trophy itself was displayed in the Yale Club's lobby, flanked by portraits of Yale's two Heisman winners, end Larry Kelley (1936) and halfback Clint Frank (1937).
In June 2007, former United States Solicitor General and onetime Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork sued the club in federal court. Bork alleged that, while trying to reach the dais to speak at an event for The New Criterion magazine, he fell because the club negligently failed to provide steps or a handrail between the floor and the dais.[12] Bork claimed that his injuries required surgery, immobilized him for months, forced him to use a cane, and left him with a limp. He sought judgment for $1 million in damages plus punitive damages and attorney's fees.[13] In May 2008, Bork and the club reached a confidential, out-of-court settlement.[14]
To be eligible for election to membership, a candidate must be alumni, faculty member, or full-time graduate student of Yale University. The club also offers legacy memberships for any Yale-affiliated member's children. The club sends out a monthly newsletter to all members.
Yale College did not allow women to become members until 1969.[15] Wives of members even had to enter the club through a separate entrance (today the service entrance), and were not allowed to have access to much of the clubhouse.[16] Once Yale opened to women, however, the club quickly followed suit on July 30, 1969,[16] although the club did not open its bar, dining room, or athletic facilities to women until 1974[17] and did not open its swimming pool (known as "the plunge") to women until 1987.[18] Now, though, women constitute a large percentage of the club's membership.
Three other, smaller clubs also are in residence at the Yale Club: the Dartmouth Club, the Virginia Club, and the Delta Kappa Epsilon Club. Members of these other clubs have the same access to the clubhouse and its facilities as members of the Yale Club itself.
According to a book published for the club's 1997 centennial, members at that time included George H. W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, John Kerry and George Pataki. Among others were architect Cesar Pelli and author David McCullough. Today, the Yale Club has over 11,000 members worldwide.
In popular culture[edit]
- In the third chapter of the 1925 novel The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the narrator, Nick Carraway, mentions that he "took dinner usually at the Yale Club", when describing his life as a bonds broker in New York. In Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film version, Nick and Tom Buchanan both belong to the Yale Club and are on their way there by train from Long Island when Tom takes Nick to meet his mistress, Myrtle. Later, Nick opines that Myrtle's raucous party was "better than the Yale Club."
- In F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1926 short story The Rich Boy, the main character, Anson Hunter, is a member of the Yale Club and spends a great deal of time there, even when no one else is there. He also lives at the club temporarily during the summer.
- Amy Vanderbilt used the Yale Club throughout her 1952 Complete Guide to Etiquette and subsequent editions when giving examples of how to address or style stationery, letters, cards, and invitations involving clubs.
- In 1965, in his weekly column titled "My Turn," author John O'Hara lamented, "If Yale had given me a degree, I could have joined the Yale Club, where the food is pretty good, the library is ample and restful, the location convenient, and I could go there when I felt like it without sponging off friends. They also have a nice-looking necktie."[19] O'Hara lamented his lack of a Yale degree so often that his friend Ernest Hemingway joked that a collection should be taken up to send O'Hara to Yale.
- In 1972, Frank Mankiewicz famously described John Lindsay as "the only populist in history who plays squash at the Yale Club."[20]
- In 1987 novel Bonfire of the Vanities, by Tom Wolfe, the protagonist Sherman McCoy, a WASP bond trader at a fictional Wall Street firm Pierce & Pierce, is a graduate of Yale University and a member of Yale Club of New York. On the morning when the deal he was working on collapses, the story recalls Sherman having "a craving to go to the Yale Club and take a steam bath and lie down on one of those leather-top tables and get a good hot hammering massage".
- In the 1991 novel American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, main character Patrick Bateman gets up to use the restroom during lunch at the Yale Club, where to his chagrin he discovers that his coworker Luis Carruthers is in love with him. The chapter is titled "Yale Club."
- In a 1993 episode of the CBS television sitcom Murphy Brown titled "The Egg and I," when recounting the events that led to George H.W. Bush banning Murphy Brown from the White House, colleague Jim Dial mentions an "unfortunate incident in the steam room of the Yale Club."
- In the 2005 novel Nothing Can Keep Us Together – the eighth novel in the Gossip Girl series by Cecily von Ziegesar – main character Blair Waldorf lives in the Yale Club for a short period of time and holds her graduation party there.
- On the April 17, 2008, episode of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, while commenting on "Elitist Persecution," correspondent and Yale alumnus John Hodgman declared, "As an elitist myself, I've had enough! Or, as we say at the Yale Club, ' Ça suffit! '"[21]
- The Yale Club is mentioned in several episodes of the long-running television crime drama Law & Order, which was based in Manhattan.
- In the Showtime drama Billions the interior of the Yale Club is depicted in the 2017 second-season episode "The Kingmaker". Billionaire Bobby Axelrod enters the club to confront U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Chuck Rhoades and his father, who are both members.

In Sql Server 2016 you can easily insert or update JSON documents by combining OPENJSON and MERGE statement. In this example I will create one procedure that imports events formatted as JSON in Events table.
Example code is shown in the following listing. I'm creating one table that will contain events and procedure that will de-serialize events formatted as JSON and upsert them into destination table.
-- Drop sp_ImportEvents stored procedure DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS dbo.sp_ImportEvents GO -- Drop Events table DROP TABLE IF EXISTS dbo.Events GO -- Create Events table CREATE TABLE dbo.Events( EventId int PRIMARY KEY, DeviceId int NOT NULL, Value int NOT NULL, Timestamp datetime2(7) NULL ) GO -- Create sp_InsertEvents stored procedure CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_ImportEvents @Events NVARCHAR(MAX) AS BEGIN MERGE INTO dbo.Events AS A USING ( SELECT * FROM OPENJSON(@Events) WITH (EventId int, DeviceId int, Value int, Timestamp datetime2(7))) B ON (A.EventId = B.EventId) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET A.DeviceId = B.DeviceId, A.Value = B.Value, A.Timestamp = B.Timestamp WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (EventId, DeviceId, Value, Timestamp) VALUES(B.EventId, B.DeviceId, B.Value, B.Timestamp); END GO
Events are provided as JSON array (or single JSON object) that has EventId, DeviceId, Value, and Timestamp properties. OPENJSON will open this document and transform it to table results. Then you can provide this resultset to MERGE statement where you can insert new row or update existing based on the Id column.
Now you can easily import one or many JSON documents into Event table:
EXEC sp_ImportEvents N'{"EventId":1,"DeviceId":17,"Value":35,"Timestamp":"2015-10-23 12:45:37.1237"}' SELECT * FROM Events GO EXEC sp_ImportEvents N'[{"EventId":1,"DeviceId":17,"Value":37,"Timestamp":"2015-10-23 12:45:37.1237"}, {"EventId":2,"DeviceId":17,"Value":35,"Timestamp":"2015-10-23 12:45:37.1237"}]' SELECT * FROM Events

Summer is in full swing — let the getaways begin! Many families plan their summer fling months in advance. Some busy families wing it and squeeze in a vacation when the time is right.
The Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida is a top choice for families with little ones. Disney is the ultimate treat. Discounts for hotels are always available, but be prepared to pay a hefty price from $93 to $99 for a day with Mickey. There are some special deals available such as the Disney 4-Day Military Promotional Tickets for just $169 each (plus tax) until September 27, 2014.
Laura, an elementary school guidance counselor, with two young sons, Colby and Jaxon, has been head of household for 8 long months while hubby has been deployed to the Middle East with the U. S. Air Force. When an opportunity to visit family in an Orlando resort popped up, this mommy was on it — she was ready for a break!
Laura said, "It was a magical… planned in the spur of the moment."
The mini-vacation for her toddlers included a surprise day trip to Disney with lots of hugs and kisses from their Nannie and Pop Pop. But careful planning to Mickey's house was important for success — especially for only one day:

I have a desktop and a laptop both with Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS) on board. I installed OpenSSH server on desktop and now I'm able to connect to this from my laptop (also running Ubuntu) by typing
ssh -X
this allows me to run programs on the desktop and display their windows on the laptop.
I'm wandering if it is also possible to run GDM on the desktop and display and control it by the laptop, so that if there is e.g. an update notice I see it, etc.? I'm not talking about the normal remote desktop which sends screenshots, because it's too slow.

Why is it that in our society we have plenty of sex before marriage and rather little in marriage ?
And I think Christians are no exception. Maybe the problem is even as old as mankind. Paul didn't write his letter for no reason. So the questions must have come up. Lets see what Ray Stedman has to say:
Having said that marriage is a way of relieving sexual pressures, Paul now says something else very significant. He says sex in marriage is designed of God to teach us something about ourselves, and to fulfill a missing need in our partners. You see this in Verses 3-5:
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does. Do not refuse one another[or to put it more bluntly, as the Greek actually does and as we read in the King James Version, "Defraud ye not one the other"] except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:3-5 RSV)
I say this by way of concession, not of command. I wish that all were as l myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. (1 Corinthians 7:6-7 RSV)
The major thrust of that paragraph is telling us that sex in marriage is designed for the fulfillment of each partner. This is what the Song of Solomon so beautifully captures. We read a paragraph together from that this morning just to catch the flavor of that beautiful book, written to describe the exquisite ecstasy of sexual love within marriage. That is what that book is about. Unfortunately, Victorian squeamishness has so prevailed in the Church that most people do not know that. They think it is a book written to be an allegory about Christ and the Church. Well now, since marriage is that kind of an allegory, that is a legitimate use of that book, but it is not what it was written about. It was written to describe the courtship and wedding and subsequent married life of a young couple who before God were seeking to explore and discover all the beautiful relationships that God intended when he made our bodies different from one another, when he made our psyches different from one another, even our spiritual hungers different in male and female and brought the two together. ... Paul does not say to the husband and the wife, "Demand your own sexual rights." He never puts it in that way, and yet as a marriage counselor I can say that I have been involved in scores of cases where one of the major problems of the marriage was that one partner, usually the man, demanded his sexual rights from his wife. Nothing, perhaps, is more destructive to marital happiness than that .......giving license to the husband to demand sex whenever he wants it is to destroy the whole beauty of sex in marriage. ......you have the right to ...give him or her, as a gift from you, the fulfillment of these sexual desires -- and the responsibility you have is not to your mate, but to the Lord to do so. It is a matter that Paul puts on the basis of the relationship that a believer has with his or her Lord, and it is the Lord who asks us to give this gift to our mates in marriage, and thus to make it a basis of mutual fulfillment and satisfaction.
In other words, sex in marriage is a gift that you are to freely offer to each other. It is not a selfish, self-centered satisfying of your own desire. If we understand that it is going to make a big difference in many marriages, and, if you reflect on it a moment, you will see why. I suggested last week that physical sex is given to us to teach us how to relate to one another psychologically, and how to relate to God spiritually, and this is true in this area. Sex is so designed that we have no control over it ourselves within marriage. We need another to minister to us, and that is designed of God in order to teach us how to relate and fulfill the basic law of life which Jesus put in these terms when he said, "If you attempt to save your life you will lose it," (Matthew 16:25, Mark 8:35, Luke 17:33, John 12:25). If you try to meet your own need, if you put that first in your life -- "I am going to have my needs met" -- the result will be that you will lose the joy of life and you will lose everything you are trying to gain. Instead of finding fulfillment you will find emptiness, and you will end your years looking back upon a wasted experience. You cannot get fulfillment that way.
That is not merely good advice -- that is a law of life, as inviolable as the law of gravity. You cannot beat it any way you try. The only way to find your needs met and yourself fulfilled is to fulfill another's needs. Throw your life away, Jesus said, and you will find it. That is what sex is all about. It is designed not to have your needs met, but to meet another's needs. Thus, in marriage, you have a beautiful reciprocity. In the process of devoting yourself to the enjoyment of your mate, and to giving him or her the most exquisite sense of pleasure that you can, you find your own needs met. That is what is meant by Verse 4, "For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does," (1 Corinthians 7:4 RSV). That is not saying that you are slaves of one another. It is saying that the power to give fulfillment to your mate lies with you. He or she cannot fulfill himself or herself in this area. It is impossible. That is why sex with yourself, solo sex, is a drag. It does not go anywhere. It is a dead-end street. It is a momentary, mechanical fulfillment that leaves you psychologically unfulfilled. The only way those psychological fulfillments can be met is by your partner giving you the gift of fulfillment and you giving him or her the same gift.

What to Do When Your Credit Card Interest Rate Increases
"I was just informed the interest rate on my credit card is jumping from 10% to 29%. I've never made a late payment. I called my bank and they told me it's because some of my other credit accounts were highly utilized."
Remember, before you begin this cat & mouse game, have a "Plan B" in place. Just make sure "Plan B" doesn't use the same or worse practices as your original lender.
Just be aware of card tricks. Not all lenders use them (thank God), but be careful of the ones that do. Lenders have lowered the bar on their ethics. It's up to us to read the fine print and play their game.

Bootsy Collins: The Funky Tooth Fairy
William "Bootsy" Collins, known by some of his nicknames like, "Casper the Funky Ghost" to "Bootzilla," and "The world's only rhinestone rockstar monster of a doll" is one of the leading names in funk music. No matter what you call him, you can't go down the list of funk hits without his name being mentioned. With hits like "I'd Rather Be With You" to "Bootzilla" or his signature sound on the funk classic, "Flashlight", Bootsy lives and loves the funk.
There's only one more thing that's more important than funk to Bootsy, and that's family. In 2011, Collins' nephew, Kyle Willis, died from a easily treatable oral infection. Willis was unemployed and struggling to take care of his 6-year-old daughter, so he did what many uninsured Americans do when they face a dental emergency: He ignored it.

Suffering with an abscessed wisdom tooth, Kyle, in pain and desperate for relief, arrived at the University Hospital emergency room in Cincinnati and was given prescriptions for pain medication and an antibiotic. But the 24-year-old single father passed away unexpectedly because he could not afford a prescribed $27 antibiotic, only the $3 painkiller.
When Bootsy heard the news he was devastated. Willis did not reach out to his famous uncle because he was out of town and didn't want to bother him, reports said. So Bootsy did something about it and created the Kyle Willis Oral Care Program.
The Kyle Willis Oral Care Program was created in memory of Kyle Willis to promote dental care awareness. The objective is to provide under-served populations with access to oral care education, resources, and to direct individuals to available dental care services. The long term goal is a collaborative effort between general healthcare providers and oral health professionals. The educational services will not only be shared with…

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Emily Hogan's three-run double highlighted a four run seventh as Coast Guard rallied for a 7-5 win to salvage a split of a key New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) doubleheader with Springfield. The Pride won the opener 3-1.
Coast Guard is now 16-6 overall and 7-3 in the NEWMAC while Springfield is also 16-6 overall, but 4-4 in conference play.
Springfield shutout Coast Guard twice last season 9-0 and 8-0, both games in six innings. It was the Bears had lost seven straight against Pride before the game two win.
The Bears are back in action on Friday with a NEWMAC doubleheader at WPI at 3:30.
Coast Guard's Julia Ferris and Springfield's Talia Loda had shutouts going until Coast Guard scored in the sixth as Kayla Sowers scored on a passed ball for a 1-0 lead.
The Pride would erupt for three runs in the home half tying the game on a RBI single by Alexyss Conley before a two-run double by Yaxisa Vargas proved to be the game winner.
Ferris (8-4) allowed five hits and two earned runs in taking the loss for Coast Guard.
Claire Hurley had two of the Bears five hits in the loss.
The Pride led 5-3 after six innings and were three outs away from a sweep before the Bears hung a four spot in the top of the seventh.
Courtney McKenna's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded pulled the Bears to within 5-4 before Audrey Bartz singled to reload the bases setting up Hogan's bases clearing double to left.
Springfield would load the bases with one out in the bottom of the seventh before a strikeout and finally a line out to center gave the Bears the split.
The Pride took a 3-0 lead in the first inning before the Bears got on the board in the second on an RBI single double by Casey Cruzpino.
Cruzpino's RBI fielder's choice in the fourth made the score 3-2 before Malia Hindle's RBI single later in the inning tied the score 3-3.
The Pride scored a pair of unearned runs in the fourth to regain the lead 5-3 before the Bears heroics in the seventh.
Bartz and Hogan each had two hits in the game two win for the Bears.
Sydney Arendt (8-2) went the distance and scattered 11 hits while allowing three earned runs, walking one and fanning four to pick up the win for Coast Guard.

Private Home Care Introduces New, Individualized Caregiver Approach
Private Home Care has an approach that matches a single caregiver to each patient. This reinforces their three guiding concepts of caregiver consistency, care transparency, and customization.
University City, United States – September 19, 2019 /PressCable/ —
St. Louis, MO (September 19, 2019)– Private Home Care announces their approach for truly effective home care: one caregiver, one person. This approach is exactly as it sounds. One registered nurse or certified caretaker is assigned to one person in need. Private Home Care has found this approach to work best because it builds trust. This is part of the relationship that Private Home Care looks to build with three guiding concepts: caregiver consistency, care transparency, and customization.
Other services in the home care industry often have caretakers rotate between different individuals with needs. The time each person needs varies, but inevitably they move along to the next patient. Another approach is to have one caretaker take care of multiple patients. This approach helps with consistency but it strains the employee, as they have at least twice the amount of things to remember or manage. Private Home Care has the focus, passion, and goal to avoid these problems. They build relationships between only one caregiver and client, and work to exceed that client's expectations.
The three guiding concepts of consistency, transparency, and customization involve a number of pertinent details. "Consistency" means a client has a caregiver and a Care Coordinator. If the caregiver ever misses work for illness, the replacement caregiver is oriented by the already established coordinator. Also, the client's family is involved in the process to further increase comfort. "Transparency" involves care coordinators being available at all times to all involved parties, including the family of the client. These coordinators also have caseloads that are smaller than average in the industry. The final portion, "customization," refers to how often caregivers check in with their coordinators. It is often communication on a daily basis. The customization portion of Private Home Care is simply a realization that care plans often must change. The needs of each client are evaluated, turned into a unique plan, and are then updated regularly.

Eleven days after a thrilling landing at sea, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket booster is coming back to the company's space-age garage in Florida, in preparation for engine tests and potentially the first-ever reuse of its rocket hardware.
The Falcon blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida and lofted a Dragon cargo capsule toward the International Space Station on April 8. Minutes after launch, the first-stage booster made an unprecedented touchdown onto an autonomous spaceport drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
It took a few days for the ship to come back to Florida's Port Canaveral in Florida. Then the booster was packed up for a slow, careful trip back to SpaceX's launch processing facility at Kennedy Space Center. Visitors happened to catch video of the Falcon passing by today.
@SpaceX #SpaceX bringing the landed booster back on the Cape today! Congratz guys, keep pushing! pic.twitter.com/Q5EcOVEFtl
— Whiskey Icarus (@kermitdafrag_g) April 19, 2016
Over the next few weeks, the 156-foot-long booster will undergo inspections and potential test firings of its rocket engines. SpaceX's billionaire founder, Elon Musk, says the first stage could be reused for a launch as early as May or June if everything checks out.
That would mark the first reuse of Falcon 9 hardware – a step that SpaceX officials say eventually could reduce the cost of access to orbit by 30 percent. Eventually, Musk wants to cut the cost to a hundredth of today's going rate, which would require lots more reusable parts.
"If you throw away the rockets every time, it's crazy expensive to go to space," Musk told CBS late-show host Stephen Colbert last year. "But if you can refly the rockets, it could be comparable to air flight in its costs."
In December, SpaceX brought a Falcon 9 booster back for a touchdown at its "Landing Zone 1" in Florida, but that rocket is destined to go on display and won't be going back into space.
Meanwhile, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos is making rapid progress on the reusability front with Blue Origin's New Shepard suborbital spaceship. Musk and Bezos have been rivals in the space business, but they agree on at least one thing: Rocket reusability is a must for reducing launch costs enough to have millions of people living and working in space.

[UPDATED with CA ratings] Bellator MMA draws just 242K on Paramount Network
April 16, 2018
Bellator MMA drew just 242,000 viewers on The Paramount Network Friday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The simulcast on CMT drew an additional 161,000.
In the main event, Michael Chandler defeated Brandon Girtz in the first round via technical submission with an arm triangle choke after Girtz was put to sleep with the submission. On The Paramount Network, it drew 0.09 in the A18-49 demo. On CMT, it drew 0.07 in the A18-49 demo.
Notably, Combate Americas ran an event later that night on Univision and drew 181,000 viewers. It did 0.10 in the A18-49 demo.
UPDATED 4/17/18: According to Nielson, Combate Americas on Friday, according to Nielsen, ratings for the live simulcast was 583,000 P2+ viewers, and 296,000 viewers in the 18-49 year old category.
Payout Perspective:
These ratings have to be disappointing for Bellator as it sinks to another ratings low. Prior to this week, last Friday's event featuring Benson Henderson drew 420,000 viewers. This week saw almost half those viewers return on Paramount. The CMT viewership combined brings the total viewership to just 423,000 viewers. Combate Americas on the Univision Network drew just 181,000 viewers but with less expectations. Moreover, it drew more in the younger demo than either showing of Bellator on either network. Granted, the CA was on later in the evening than Bellator, but the ratings for the promotion are not going in the right direction.
Bellator 196 draws 420,000 viewers on Paramount
April 11, 2018
Bellator 196 drew 420,000 viewers on the Paramount Network Friday night. The event featured Benson Henderson taking on Robert Huerta in Budapest, Hungary.
This past Friday's event was the fourth one this year under 500,000 viewers with just one event over 500,000. The event drew 0.14 in the A18-49 demo per ShowBuzz Daily.
Payout Perspective
The ratings have to be a concern this year even though we are in April. At this point, Bellator is averaging just 520,000 viewers per live telecast which is the lowest since 2014. This past Friday's event featured a former UFC Champion and drew the lowest viewership of the year. While international events seem to draw lower ratings, Henderson was thought to bring name recognition and fans to telecasts and that does not seem to be the case.
Bellator 194 draws 476,000 viewers on Paramount
February 20, 2018
Bellator MMA Live 194 on the Paramount Network drew 476,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.
The event featured the second fight in the Bellator MMA World Grand Prix with Matt Mitrione defeating Roy Nelson. The telecast also featured Patricky Friere as he stopped Derek Campos in the first round.
Payout Perspective:
The event did slightly better than last month's Bellator 193 but is below of 2017's average of 614,000 viewers. Through just 3 events this year, the average is down to 572,000 viewers. One would have suspected this event doing better than 476,000 viewers since it featured the Heavyweight Grand Prix. But, it was going up against the Winter Olympics so that may have come into play.
UFC 220 Prelims draw 905,000 on FS1, Bellator 192 770,00 viewers on Paramount
January 23, 2018
The UFC 220 Prelims on FS1 drew 905,000 viewers according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The prelims overlapped with Bellator 192 on Paramount which drew 770,000 viewers.
UPDATED: Bellator 192 was also on CMT network. Thanks to a reader who pointed this out. Based on the combined ratings Bellator 192 drew 931,000 viewers (CMT chipped in with the additional 161,000 viewers)
The UFC Prelims were highlighted by Julio Arce versus Dan Ige. The event on FS1 drew 0.39 in the A18-49 demo. In comparison, last year's first PPV, UFC 208, which occurred in February drew 824,000 viewers. Bellator 192 featured Rampage Jackson and Chael Sonnen as it began the Heavyweight Grand Prix. It also saw Rory MacDonald win the welterweight belt from Douglas Lima. The event drew 0.32 in the A18-49 demo.
In addition, on Saturday night, the UFC Prefight Show on FS1 drew 286,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
Bellator 192 was the highest-rated Bellator event on Spike TV, now Paramount, since March 2017's Bellator 175 which featured Rampage against King Mo. Bellator 180 had a higher viewership in the aggregate but was shown on Spike and CMT. While the event produced the best ratings in almost 10 months, it still does not come close to the initial tentpole events which drew near 1 million viewers. Obviously, the head-to-head with the prelims and the UFC PPV hurt Bellator this time around. For the UFC Prelims, the 905,000 is a nice rating considering the fights did not have any "named" fighter on them which bodes well for the PPV buys.
Bellator 191 peaked at 737,000 viewers this past Friday on Spike TV
December 20, 2017
This past Friday's Bellator 191 delivered 571,000 viewers peaking with 737,000 according to Nielsen. The ratings reflect adjustments for DVR ratings.
Bellator 191 featured the debuts of former UFC stars Michael McDonald and Valerie Letourneau. The event saw an increase in ratings over the last couple events with a live plus same day rating of 511,000 viewers per Nielsen.
Payout Perspective:
It's a modest increase in viewership this past Friday night but the event from England produced a higher rating than the past 3 telecasts. The peak viewership is the highest since Bellator 187.
Bellator 191 draws 511,000 viewers on Spike TV
December 18, 2017
Bellator 191 drew 511,000 viewers on Spike TV Friday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The event featured the debuts of former UFC fighters Michael McDonald and Valerie Letourneau.
McDonald's debut at bantamweight saw him defeat Peter Ligier in the main event. The event drew 0.15 in the A18-49 demo according to ShowBuzz.
The ratings reflect the first uptick in three events and a substantial increase from Bellator 190's 394,000 viewers.
Payout Perspective:
The debuts of McDonald and Letourneau may have aided the ratings this week for Bellator as it was slumping of late. We will see if McDonald's statute as a former UFC bantamweight help his appeal in Bellator.
Bellator 190 draws 394,000 on a busy Saturday night of televised combat sports
December 13, 2017
Bellator 190 from Florence, Italy drew the lowest-rating of the promotion's time on Spike TV with only 394,000 viewers on Saturday night.
There was stiff competition Saturday night with a UFC Fight Night and ESPN showing Top Rank's card of Vasiliy Lomachenko taking on Guiellermo Rigondeaux. In addition, there was another boxing card on HBO.
Bellator 190 featured Rafael Carvalho taking on Alessio Sakara. Carvalho defeated Sakara to retain his middleweight title.
Per Nielsen, via ShowBuzz Daily, the event drew 0.12 in the A18-49 demo.
Payout Perspective:
The lower ratings had to be expected with an overseas card on a night Bellator usually is not on against three other televised combat sports events. The 394,000 is an all-time low and lowers the 2017 average to 619,000. Last year's average was 678,000 viewers. It was the third straight event with ratings lower than the previous event.
Bellator 189 draws 439,000 viewers on Spike
December 4, 2017
Bellator 189 drew 439,000 viewers on Spike TV Friday night per Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily.
The event featured Julia Budd defending her Featherweight championship against Arlene Blencowe. It was Budd's first title defense as she defeated Blencowe for the second time.
The event took place in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
Payout Perspective:
The UFC edged out Bellator on Friday night with its TUF Finale. Bellator ratings were down slightly from last week's event in Israel. The event did not draw as much interest as the UFC which might be due in part to the TUF season and the lack of promotion for the Bellator event. This is the 6th event this year which has drawn less than 500,000 viewers.
Bellator 188 draws 444,000 on Spike TV
November 21, 2017
Bellator 188 drew 444,000 viewers on Spike TV Friday according to Nielsen via ShowBuzz Daily. The event was tape-delayed as it took place in Israel.
In the main event of the card. Jeremiah Labiano defeated Noah Lahat via unanimous decision. The card was the second straight week of international cards on tape delay.
Payout Perspective:
It's the lowest-rated card since last month's Bellator 184 from Oklahoma. The tape-delay and lack of interest contributed to the low viewership for this card. It was one for the hardcore fans on Friday night.
Bellator 187 peaks with 1 million viewers during McGregor run in
November 15, 2017
According to Nielsen, the Conor McGregor interruption this past Friday at Bellator 187 drew 1 million viewers on SpikeTV in the quarter hour that the event occurred.
As you recall, McGregor charged the cage after his teammate's first round KO. McGregor then proceeded to go after referee Marc Goddard. The event occurred in the first quarter hour of the Bellator tape-delayed telecast on Spike TV. The news on social media spread and many tuned in to watch the antics.
In comparison, Bellator 186 peaked at 800,000 viewers during Phil Davis' fight.
Overall, Bellator 187 drew 621,000 viewers in DVR +3 ratings.
Payout Perspective:
The 1 million viewers is a peak threshold not seen by Bellator on Spike TV since Bellator 175 this past spring. It says something that McGregor's appearance was the likely reason many tuned in considering the peak was in the first quarter hour and most telecast peak as the event progresses.

"Mountain Wasabi" - The perfect garnish for rice and so much more!
We all know and love delicious green wasabi often served with Japanese dishes. But here in Japan there is another kind of white wasabi available, "Mountain Wasabi."
In English you may already know about this delicious root by the name "Horseradish." While regular wasabi grows under water or in a swamp, mountain wasabi is often grown in fields.
▲ Raw mountain wasabi.
▲ A field of mountain wasabi.
Although commonly sold in supermarkets, the plant grows naturally across Hokkaido. Natives often say "It's easier to just go pick some from the mountain yourself!"
In my house we often went mountain wasabi picking as well. If you bring home the base of the leaf and submerge it in water, after a bit of time you'll be able to plant it in your own garden and harvest the treat for free! If well cared for the plant will grow quite large.
This works well for those living inside Hokkaido, but for those living elsewhere, I have a special recommendation for you!
▲ Pickled soy sauce mountain wasabi.This mountain wasabi is soaked in mirin and soy sauce, which gives it a sweet taste.
▲ Spicy soy sauce pickled mountain wasabi. This mountain wasabi is soaked in sake and soy sauce, giving it s sharp, and spice taste.
This can is packed full of grated wasabi. Plain horseradish is available, but there are also flavored versions which you can enjoy by itself!
▲ Here is some grated mountain wasabi paste. It is not flavored, so please use as a topping for dishes.
Mountain wasabi is 1.5 times spicier than regular wasabi. As soon as you taste it you'll be able to tell the difference, the spice is quite intense, and like traditional wasabi it all migrates to the nose! But, as opposed to regular wasabi, the mountain variety has quite a refreshing aftertaste!
▲ Mountain wasabi makes the perfect topping for roast beef or steak!
There are many ways to enjoy mountain wasabi, in Japan it is said that it goes well with sashimi. Here in Hokkaido Korikkori Squid and wasabi are often served together.
▲ Cold Tofu...
▲ Tuna with grated yam.
▲ Delicious Squid Sashimi!
But my number one suggestion is to use it as a topping for white rice.
▲ My recommendation from Yamawasa's shop, rice bowl topped with egg and mountain wasabi.
Rice with a simple mountain wasabi is a dish that needs nothing else. At the Yamawasa head office you can pick up various kinds of ready-to-eat mountain wasabi, so if you want to give it a try be sure to stop by!
For those who want to grate it themselves, why not try growing some for yourself with the Mountain Wasabi Tane?
Cut the root stalk at about three centimeters and place in water to watch it grow!

It is not clear to me why jelly desserts are considered the epitome of summer celebration, especially since they can be made and enjoyed all throughout the year.
Maybe it's because of how refreshing they are. Yes, I think that might be it.
Because refreshing is what this dessert is. And surprisingly classy looking and easy to make.
You can choose any jello flavors you want. You can use a single flavor for the whole thing, or choose a flavor for the cream and another for the topping.
Similarly, you can choose any fresh fruit you like, or forgo it altogether.
Also, you can use plain sliced cake instead of the lady fingers.
Just keep in mind that highly acidic fruits will not allow the jelly to set properly (such as kiwi and ananas).
Adapted from Suburban Grandma.
1 box Lady Fingers cookies
1 box of Cherry Jello (85g)
1 1/4 cup heavy cream , cooled (for whipping)
1 cup fresh fruits (I used banana)
2 boxes of Raspberry Jello (2x85g)
Line bottom of a glass casserole dish (9 x13) with parchment paper or foil.
Layer the Lady Fingers cookies to cover the whole bottom of the dish. You may need to trim them to fit snugly, to cover the bottom.
Prepare the whipped cream, whipping it to stiff peaks.
Keep the whipped cream in the refrigerator, while preparing the jello.
Prepare Cherry Jello, dissolving it in only 1 cup of boiling water, but not adding any cold water.
To speed up the cooling process, pour it in a cold container, place it in a bowl of ice water, and keep on stirring until room temperature, or cooler, but not jelling yet.
Slowly add the cooled jello to the whipped cream.
Fold the jello nicely into the whipped cream, do not mix too much, so you do not break up the whipped cream.
Scoop the Cherry Whipped topping over Lady Fingers, and spread evenly, making sure it is well packed near the edges of your casserole dish, so the jello in the next step does not leak down the sides, and moisten the cookie base.
Position the fresh fruit slices over the whipped cream layer.
Refrigerate for about 45 minutes to allow to set.
Prepare the raspberry jello, also using only 1 cup of water, so it will stay firmer and not soften as quickly during serving.
Slowly pour cooled raspberry jello over the fruit, until completely covered.
Cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate for a couple of hours, or overnight, and enjoy this refreshing dessert.

Whetstone (benchmark)
The Whetstone benchmark is a synthetic benchmark for evaluating the performance of computers.[1] It was first written in Algol 60 in 1972 at TSU (The Technical Support Unit of the Department of Trade and Industry - later part of the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency or CCTA in the United Kingdom). It was derived from statistics on program behaviour gathered on the KDF9 computer at NPL National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom, using a modified version of its Whetstone ALGOL 60 compiler. The workload on the machine was represented as a set of frequencies of execution of the 124 instructions of the Whetstone Code. The Whetstone Compiler was built at the Atomic Power Division of the English Electric Company in Whetstone, Leicestershire, England,[2] hence its name. Dr. B.A. Wichman at NPL produced a set of 42 simple ALGOL 60 statements, which in a suitable combination matched the execution statistics.
To make a more practical benchmark Harold Curnow of TSU wrote a program incorporating the 42 statements. This program worked in its ALGOL 60 version, but when translated into FORTRAN it was not executed correctly by the IBM optimizing compiler. Calculations whose results were not output were omitted. He then produced a set of program fragments which were more like real code and which collectively matched the original 124 Whetstone instructions. Timing this program gave a measure of the machine's speed in thousands of Whetstone instructions per second (kWIPS). The Fortran version became the first general purpose benchmark that set industry standards of computer system performance. Further development was carried out by Roy Longbottom, also of TSU/CCTA, who became the official design authority. The Algol 60 program ran under the Whetstone compiler in July 2010, for the first time since the last KDF9 was shut down in 1980, but now executed by a KDF9 emulator.
Following increased computer speeds, performance measurement was changed to Millions of Whetstone Instructions Per Second (MWIPS). The original results on numerous minicomputers, mainframes and supercomputers are available in Whetstone Benchmark History and Results. This also shows original system costs and year of manufacture. For comparison purposes, a summary of results on PCs is also provided, including a table showing the relative efficiency of various programming languages. Detailed results on PCs are also available, showing speeds of the different test functions.
Source code and pre-compiled versions for PCs in C/C++, Basic, Visual Basic, Fortran and Java were available from Roy Longbottom's PC Benchmark Collection (Free) and have been archived at British Library, with Whetstone Data being of particular significance. Compiled codes include those to run via DOS, OS/2 plus 32 bit and 64 bit Windows.
The Whetstone benchmark primarily measures the floating-point arithmetic performance. A similar benchmark for integer and string operations is the Dhrystone.
