Section 76
A vision given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, February 16, 1832. Prefacing the record of this vision, Joseph Smith's history states: "Upon my return from Amherst conference, I resumed the translation of the Scriptures. From sundry revelations which had been received, it was apparent that many important points touching the salvation of man had been taken from the Bible, or lost before it was compiled. It appeared self-evident from what truths were left, that if God rewarded every one according to the deeds done in the body the term 'Heaven,' as intended for the Saints' eternal home, must include more kingdoms than one. Accordingly, … while translating St. John's Gospel, myself and Elder Rigdon saw the following vision." At the time this vision was given, the Prophet was translating John 5:29.
1–4, The Lord is God; 5–10, The mysteries of the kingdom will be revealed to all the faithful; 11–17, All will come forth in the resurrection of the just or the unjust; 18–24, The inhabitants of many worlds are begotten sons and daughters unto God through the Atonement of Jesus Christ; 25–29, An angel of God fell and became the devil; 30–49, Sons of perdition suffer eternal damnation; all others gain some degree of salvation; 50–70, The glory and reward of exalted beings in the celestial kingdom is described; 71–80, Those who will inherit the terrestrial kingdom are described; 81–113, The status of those in the telestial, terrestrial, and celestial glories is explained; 114–19, The faithful may see and understand the mysteries of God's kingdom by the power of the Holy Spirit.
1 aHear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, and rejoice ye inhabitants thereof, for the Lord is bGod, and beside him there is cno dSavior.
2 aGreat is his wisdom, bmarvelous are his ways, and the extent of his doings none can find out.
3 His apurposes fail not, neither are there any who can stay his hand.
4 From eternity to eternity he is the asame, and his years never bfail.
5 For thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am amerciful and gracious unto those who bfear me, and delight to honor those who cserve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.
6 Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their aglory.
7 And to them will I areveal all bmysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.
8 Yea, even the wonders of aeternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations.
9 And their awisdom shall be great, and their bunderstanding reach to heaven; and before them the wisdom of the wise shall cperish, and the understanding of the dprudent shall come to naught.
10 For by my aSpirit will I benlighten them, and by my cpower will I make known unto them the dsecrets of my ewill—yea, even those things which feye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man.
11 We, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, being ain the Spirit on the sixteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-two—
12 By the power of the aSpirit our beyes were opened and our understandings were enlightened, so as to see and understand the things of God—
13 Even those things which were from the beginning before the world was, which were ordained of the Father, through his Only Begotten Son, who was in the bosom of the Father, even from the abeginning;
14 Of whom we bear record; and the record which we bear is the fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is the Son, whom we saw and with whom we aconversed in the heavenly bvision.
15 For while we were doing the work of atranslation, which the Lord had appointed unto us, we came to the twenty-ninth verse of the fifth chapter of John, which was given unto us as follows—
16 Speaking of the resurrection of the dead, concerning those who shall ahear the voice of the bSon of Man:
17 And shall come forth; athey who have done bgood, in the cresurrection of the djust; and they who have done evil, in the resurrection of the unjust.
18 Now this caused us to marvel, for it was given unto us of the Spirit.
19 And while we ameditated upon these things, the Lord touched the eyes of our understandings and they were opened, and the bglory of the Lord shone round about.
20 And we beheld the aglory of the Son, on the bright hand of the cFather, and received of his fulness;
21 And saw the holy aangels, and them who are bsanctified before his throne, worshiping God, and the Lamb, who cworship him forever and ever.
22 And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the atestimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he blives!
23 For we asaw him, even on the bright hand of cGod; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the dOnly Begotten of the Father—
24 That by ahim, and through him, and of him, the bworlds are and were created, and the cinhabitants thereof are begotten dsons and daughters unto God.
25 And this we saw also, and bear record, that an aangel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who brebelled against the Only Begotten cSon whom the Father dloved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son,
26 And was called aPerdition, for the heavens bwept over him—he was cLucifer, a son of the morning.
27 And we beheld, and lo, he is afallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!
28 And while we were yet in the Spirit, the Lord commanded us that we should write the vision; for we beheld Satan, that old aserpent, even the bdevil, who rebelled against God, and sought to take the kingdom of our cGod and his Christ—
29 Wherefore, he maketh awar with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about.
30 And we saw a vision of the asufferings of those with whom he made war and overcame, for thus came the voice of the Lord unto us:
31 Thus saith the Lord concerning all those who know my power, and have been made partakers thereof, and asuffered themselves through the power of the devil to be overcome, and to deny the truth and defy my power—
32 They are they who are the asons of bperdition, of whom I say that it had been better for them never to have been born;
33 For they are avessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;
34 Concerning whom I have said there is ano bforgiveness in this world nor in the world to come—
35 Having adenied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having bcrucified him unto themselves and put him to an open cshame.
36 These are they who shall go away into the alake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels—
37 And the aonly ones on whom the bsecond cdeath shall have any power;
38 Yea, verily, the only ones who shall anot be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, after the sufferings of his wrath.
39 For all the rest shall be abrought forth by the resurrection of the dead, through the btriumph and the glory of the Lamb, who was slain, who was in the bosom of the Father cbefore the worlds were made.
40 And this is the agospel, the glad btidings, which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us—
41 That he acame into the world, even Jesus, to be bcrucified for the world, and to cbear the sins of the dworld, and to esanctify the world, and to fcleanse it from all unrighteousness;
42 That through him all might be asaved whom the Father had put into his bpower and made by him;
43 Who aglorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands, except those sons of bperdition who deny the Son after the Father has revealed him.
44 Wherefore, he saves all aexcept them—they shall go away into beverlasting cpunishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to dreign with the edevil and his angels in eternity, where their fworm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment—
45 And the aend thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;
46 Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;
47 Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by avision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;
48 Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the adepth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are bordained unto this ccondemnation.
49 And we heard the voice, saying: aWrite the vision, for lo, this is the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly.
50 And again we bear record—for we asaw and heard, and this is the btestimony of the cgospel of Christ concerning them who shall come forth in the resurrection of the djust—
51 They are they who received the atestimony of Jesus, and bbelieved on his name and were cbaptized after the dmanner of his burial, being eburied in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given—
52 That by akeeping the commandments they might be bwashed and ccleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the dhands of him who is eordained and sealed unto this power;
53 And who aovercome by faith, and are bsealed by the Holy Spirit of cpromise, which the Father dsheds forth upon all those who are just and true.
54 They are they who are the achurch of the bFirstborn.
55 They are they into whose hands the Father has given aall things—
56 They are they who are apriests and bkings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory;
57 And are apriests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of bEnoch, which was after the corder of the Only Begotten Son.
58 Wherefore, as it is written, they are agods, even the bsons of cGod—
59 Wherefore, aall things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
60 And they shall aovercome all things.
61 Wherefore, let no man aglory in man, but rather let him bglory in God, who shall csubdue all enemies under his feet.
62 These shall adwell in the bpresence of God and his Christ forever and ever.
63 These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall acome in the bclouds of heaven to creign on the earth over his people.
64 These are they who shall have part in the afirst resurrection.
65 These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the ajust.
66 These are they who are come unto aMount bZion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
67 These are they who have come to an innumerable company of aangels, to the general assembly and church of bEnoch, and of the cFirstborn.
68 These are they whose names are awritten in heaven, where God and Christ are the bjudge of all.
69 These are they who are ajust men made bperfect through Jesus the mediator of the cnew covenant, who wrought out this perfect datonement through the shedding of his own eblood.
70 These are they whose bodies are acelestial, whose bglory is that of the csun, even the glory of God, the dhighest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.
71 And again, we saw the aterrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the bFirstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the cmoon differs from the sun in the firmament.
72 Behold, these are they who died awithout blaw;
73 And also they who are the aspirits of men kept in bprison, whom the Son visited, and cpreached the dgospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh;
74 Who areceived not the btestimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.
75 These are they who are ahonorable men of the earth, who were bblinded by the craftiness of men.
76 These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.
77 These are they who receive of the apresence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.
78 Wherefore, they are abodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
79 These are they who are not avaliant in the btestimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
80 And now this is the end of the avision which we saw of the terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to bwrite while we were yet in the Spirit.
81 And again, we asaw the glory of the btelestial, which glory is that of the lesser, even as the cglory of the stars differs from that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
82 These are they who received not the gospel of Christ, neither the atestimony of Jesus.
83 These are they who adeny not the Holy Spirit.
84 These are they who are thrust down to ahell.
85 These are they who shall not be redeemed from the adevil until the blast resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the cLamb, shall have finished his work.
86 These are they who receive not of his fulness in the eternal world, but of the Holy Spirit through the ministration of the terrestrial;
87 And the terrestrial through the aministration of the celestial.
88 And also the telestial receive it of the administering of angels who are appointed to minister for them, or who are appointed to be aministering spirits for them; for they shall be bheirs of salvation.
89 And thus we saw, in the heavenly vision, the glory of the atelestial, which surpasses all understanding;
90 And no man knows it except him to whom God has revealed it.
91 And thus we saw the glory of the aterrestrial which excels in all things the glory of the telestial, even in glory, and in power, and in might, and in dominion.
92 And thus we saw the aglory of the celestial, which bexcels in all things—where God, even the Father, reigns upon his cthrone forever and ever;
93 Before whose throne all things bow in humble areverence, and give him glory forever and ever.
94 They who dwell in his apresence are the church of the bFirstborn; and they see as they are seen, and cknow as they are known, having received of his fulness and of his dgrace;
95 And he makes them aequal in power, and in might, and in dominion.
96 And the glory of the celestial is one, even as the glory of the asun is one.
97 And the glory of the terrestrial is one, even as the glory of the moon is one.
98 And the glory of the telestial is one, even as the glory of the stars is one; for as one star differs from another star in glory, even so differs one from another in glory in the telestial world;
99 For these are they who are of aPaul, and of Apollos, and of Cephas.
100 These are they who say they are some of one and some of another—some of Christ and some of John, and some of Moses, and some of Elias, and some of aEsaias, and some of Isaiah, and some of Enoch;
101 But areceived not the gospel, neither the testimony of Jesus, neither the prophets, neither the beverlasting covenant.
102 Last of all, these all are they who will not be agathered with the saints, to be bcaught up unto the cchurch of the Firstborn, and received into the cloud.
103 These are athey who are bliars, and csorcerers, and dadulterers, and ewhoremongers, and whosoever loves and makes a lie.
104 These are they who suffer the awrath of God on earth.
105 These are they who suffer the avengeance of eternal fire.
106 These are they who are cast down to ahell and bsuffer the wrath of cAlmighty God, until the dfulness of times, when Christ shall have esubdued all enemies under his ffeet, and shall have gperfected his work;
107 When he shall adeliver up the bkingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have covercome and have dtrodden the ewine-press falone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.
108 Then shall he be acrowned with the crown of his glory, to sit on the bthrone of his power to reign forever and ever.
109 But behold, and lo, we saw the glory and the inhabitants of the telestial world, that they were as ainnumerable as the stars in the firmament of heaven, or as the sand upon the seashore;
110 And heard the voice of the Lord saying: These all shall bow the knee, and every tongue shall aconfess to him who sits upon the throne forever and ever;
111 For they shall be judged according to their aworks, and every man shall receive according to his own bworks, his own cdominion, in the dmansions which are prepared;
112 And they shall be aservants of the Most High; but bwhere God and Christ cdwell they dcannot come, eworlds without end.
113 This is the end of the vision which we saw, which we were commanded to write while we were yet in the Spirit.
114 But agreat and marvelous are the works of the Lord, and the bmysteries of his kingdom which he showed unto us, which surpass all understanding in glory, and in might, and in dominion;
115 Which he commanded us we should not write while we were yet in the Spirit, and are not alawful for man to utter;
116 Neither is man acapable to make them known, for they are only to be bseen and cunderstood by the power of the Holy Spirit, which God bestows on those who dlove him, and purify themselves before him;
117 To whom he grants this privilege of aseeing and knowing for themselves;
118 That through the power and manifestation of the Spirit, while in the flesh, they may be able to abear his bpresence in the world of glory.
119 And to God and the Lamb be aglory, and honor, and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Voice Controlled: A guide to using speech with Windows Phone 8
Speech has always been a part of Windows Phone and it has offered some nice ways of interacting with your handset by using your voice alone.
We have put together a guide that should suit those that are new to Windows Phone and also to those that have upgraded to Windows Phone 8. Interacting with voice recognition and commands can be a powerful and time saving way to use your phone efficiently and even safely.
There are a number of ways that interacting with your phone can be very useful but the most obvious example would be while driving. The last thing we want to do when driving is sit and hold the device typing messages, finding someone in the People Hub to call or so on. It's far too distracting and in many places now totally illegal.
Windows Phone can be configured to read your text messages back over headsets and hands free kits and also lets you respond to instant messages and much more. Before we get into that we'll need to setup the device for speech.
Getting your phone ready for speech
You'll find the options under the main settings menu, just scroll down and click on speech.
In here you'll find a few options, one you may want to tick is to be able to do certain things when the screen is locked. If you have this enabled you'll be able to call/text a contact without having to first unlock the device. Whilst this does dispense with the process of unlocking the it won't just be you that can do this, anyone who has your phone will essentially have these abilities. It's more convenient but also less secure, you can decide which suits your needs best.
Get the Windows Central Newsletter
All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.
Within these settings you can also choose whether the phone will read incoming messages to you as well as the allowing you to choose a male or female voice.
You'll also need to specify the language pack that the phone will use to enable speech recognition, there are 15 options to choose from. Lastly you'll need to put a tick in the box to actually enable speech recognition. Now that's done its time to get cracking with some of the commands, press and hold the Windows Key on your phone until it engages the listening mode... uh, not so fast…
You'll need to download and install your language pack...
Unlike the previous version of the operating system, Windows Phone 8 needs an extra few steps to get up and running.
If this is the first time you have tried this on Windows Phone 8 you'll get a notice to say "Speech is off until your language pack has been installed". Oddly here you'll need to re-select your preferred language which then kicks off an update to the phone. The UK pack is only 21MB for instance but once that's downloaded the phone has to install it and restart you phone. It's a fairly lengthy process that looks more like a major system update rather than a simple plug in.
What can you say?
Once you have installed and updated your phone you can now simply press and hold the windows key to put the phone into listening mode. You can click on the question mark icon on that screen to get a list of commands you can say. It will also read them aloud if you so wish.
Windows Phone 8 doesn't actually list all the things you can say, only a summary of common commands…
- Call Chris Mobile
- Find coffee in London
- Open calendar
- Text Amy
- Note send birthday card
Expanded Calling Options
- Call Chris
- Call Chris, mobile
- Call Chris on speakerphone
- Call voicemail
- Redial
Finding things using voice commands
- Find Coffee in London
- Find weather in London
You can also start apps using your voice
- Open Store
- Open Calendar
- Open Hotmail
Windows Phone 8 speech improvements
Transcribe a note directly to OneNote
You can now dictate a OneNote entry directly to you phone by saying "Note – I must email my boss" or something similar. You can do this directly by just activating the listening mode, it will then create a recording and insert it into a new OneNote section and even transcribe what you have said to text. Like all speech to text you'll need to speak clearly and see what works and what doesn't. On the whole it does a pretty good job of transcribing my mad mutterings but your millage may vary.
Transcribe an email message
Now you have installed the language pack you'll now be able to dictate emails too. Simply launch the email app and create a new message, you'll be able to dictate both the subject and the email itself by using your voice.
All you need to do is click the microphone icon to start talking; the phone does a good job with this but will only let you transcribe a short paragraph at a time. You'll quickly get used to how long you can speak for before it cuts you off. Compared to actually typing this can be a real time saver. If only the phone would read incoming emails and offer up the ability to reply too...
Talk to your apps now!
Apps on Windows Phone can now use voice commands. Two of note are the Audible App and the Red Bull App. To find out what apps can use voice commands simply press and hold the windows key to enable speech then click on the question mark icon and scroll across to the apps section which will reveal how to interact.
Wrap up
As you can see there are some great ways to interact with your phone using voice. Much of what we have covered here can be used with Windows Phone 7 with the exceptions of dictating notes and emails and interacting with apps. If you haven't used speech much then it's really worth taking some time to try and incorporate it into your everyday routine. Responding to texts and dictating short emails can be such a time saver and allow you to do other things at the same time.
We'd love to hear from you guys to know how you're using Speech on your Windows Phone and if you have any tips and tricks please share.

Family: Woman denied CPR wanted no intervention
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, March 6, 2013
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Relatives of an 87-year-old woman who died after a nurse at her retirement home refused a 911 dispatcher's pleas to perform CPR expressed satisfaction with the care she received, saying her wishes were to die naturally. Meanwhile, the company that owns the facility now says its worker failed to follow proper procedures.
Lorraine Bayless' death last week at Glendale Gardens, a Bakersfield independent living facility, prompted outrage after a 7-minute recording of the 911 call was released. Brookdale Senior Living, which owns the facility, initially said its employee acted correctly by waiting until emergency personnel arrived. But late Tuesday, it issued a new statement saying the employee had misinterpreted the company's guidelines and was on voluntary leave while the case is investigated.
"This incident resulted from a complete misunderstanding of our practice with regards to emergency medical care for our residents," the Tennessee-based company said.
Shortly before Brookdale's clarification, Bayless' family sent The Associated Press a statement saying she was aware that Glenwood Gardens did not offer trained medical staff, but opted to live there anyway.
"It was our beloved mother and grandmother's wish to die naturally and without any kind of life prolonging intervention," the family said. "We understand that the 911 tape of this event has caused concern, but our family knows that mom had full knowledge of the limitations of Glenwood Gardens and is at peace."
The family said it would not sue or try to profit from the death, and called it "a lesson we can all learn from."
"We regret that this private and most personal time has been escalated by the media," the statement said.
Bayless collapsed in the Glenwood Gardens dining hall on Feb. 26. Someone called 911 on a cellphone and asked for an ambulance. Later, a woman who identified herself as a nurse got on the line and told dispatcher Tracey Halvorson she was not permitted to do CPR on the woman.
Halvorson implored the nurse to find someone else and said she would instruct them on how to do the procedure.
"I understand if your facility is not willing to do that," Halvorson said. "Give the phone to a passer-by. This woman is not breathing enough. She is going to die if we don't get this started, do you understand?"
By the time paramedics arrived, Bayless had stopped breathing.
Bakersfield fire officials who responded said Bayless did not have a "do not resuscitate" order on file at the home. The family and the company have not commented.
Glenwood Gardens is an independent living facility and as such Brookdale has said that by law it is "not licensed to provide medical care to any of its residents." But it added later that it was reviewing company policies "involving emergency medical care across all of our communities."
The woman who identified herself as a nurse was employed at the facility as a resident services director, the company said.
Bayless' death has prompted multiple investigations.
Bakersfield police are trying to determine whether a crime was committed when the nurse refused to help even find someone to perform CPR. The Kern County Aging and Adult Services Department is looking into possible elder abuse and the state Assembly's Aging and Long-term Care Committee is investigating to see whether legislation is needed.
The nation's largest trade group for senior living facilities has called for its members to review policies.
"It was a complete tragedy," said Maribeth Bersani, senior vice president of the Assisted Living Federation of America. "Our members are now looking at their policies to make sure they are clear. Whether they have one to initiate (CPR) or not, they should be responsive to what the 911 person tells them to do."
The California Board of Registered Nursing is concerned that the woman who spoke to the 911 dispatcher did not even respond to requests to find someone who might want to help.
"If she's not engaged in the practice of nursing, there's no obligation (to help)," agency spokesman Russ Heimerich said. "What complicates this further is the idea that she wouldn't hand the phone over either. So that's why we want to look into it."

Debugging Seaside Applications
From Seaside - A Multiple Control Flow Web Application Framework, Ducasse, Lienhard, Renggli:
Most of today's frameworks do not support debugging of web applications well. Most display the error and the line number in the web browser only, which makes it very inconvenient to find and fix bugs.
When an unhandled exception occurs (see figure below), a stack trace is shown in the web browser (a) with a link called debug. Clicking this link (1), the developer activates a debugger (b) within the development environment which lets him inspect variables and even modify the code on the fly. In the given example the message printStringAsCents, that is automatically highlighted in the debugger (b), has been spelled wrongly and is fixed (2) by the developer. The debugger now displays the recompiled method ©. During this time, the web browser keeps waiting for the response of the server. When hitting proceed (3), the processing of the request which had caused the error is resumed and the resulting page is finally displayed in the web browser (d).
This feature makes debugging web applications very powerful: there is no manual recompilation and restarting of the web server required. The developer is put right back into the questionable page where he is able to see if he fixed the error properly and is able to continue the testing session.

RATSIMANDRESY, NADIA and MATTEO RAMON AREVALOS: Messiaen et autour de Messiaen for ondes Martenot an
A signature collection of exquisite works for onde Martenot and piano by Olivier Messiaen, N'Guyen Thien Dao, Jacques Charpentier and Tristan Murail, exploring the many voices of this extraordinary instrument. The onde (or ondes musicales or le Martenot) was first demonstrated at the Paris Conservatoire in 1928 and immediately attracted the attention of Varese, Milhaud, Koechlin, Jolivet, Honegger and Messiaen, who all wrote for it - cumulatively ensuring its survival. Seven years younger than the theremin, the onde is a far more sophisticated, complex and versatile instrument, not least because of the combination it offers of pitched and glissando tones, and the wide range of filters and different resonating media through which it can sound: loudspeakers, gongs, sympathetic resonating strings and reverberant enclosures. The compositions here exploit every unearthly aspect of the instrument and are beautifully performed: a remarkable and exquisite collection.L

(Updated, Dec. 3, 2012, 1:55 PM)
O.K. folks, let's take a deep, cleansing breath. In aaand out. Good. Now that we've all calmed down, it's time to discuss Mars — rationally. As you surely heard, NASA was planning to present new findings at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco today about new discoveries made by the Mars Curiosity rover. And as you surely heard, there was a lot of speculation that that news could be really, really big.
"Undisclosed Finding by Mars Rover Fuels Intrigue," reported the New York Times. "Will NASA soon announce discovery of Martian fossils by Curiosity Rover?" asked Examiner.com. "A fossil? A monolith? Jimmy Hoffa? Mars rover finds … something," offered the Fox News website.
(MORE: Rover Photos, from the Surface of Mars)
Here's the buzz-killing reality: forget it. There are no humanoids, bunnies or even bacteria on Mars — at least not that we know of. The big news was that the rover is working perfectly, early scoops of the soil it's collected are representative of the soil on much of Mars — which means they serves as reliable samples — and the chemistry of the planet is certainly complex enough to have once been home to life or even still be home to it. But we knew that already. Bigger news, if it comes, will take a while. "Curiosity's middle name is patience and we're all going to have to have a healthy dose of that," said project scientist John Grotzinger.
But here's the good news: if the storm the Mars rumor has kicked up indicates anything, it's that people care — a lot — about this stuff. You wouldn't necessarily know that looking at the public shrug the mention of NASA could elicit in recent years, and that's not entirely unjustified. We're coming off three decades of repetitive, round-and-round shuttle flights and 14 years of an International Space Station that does … well, what exactly? But then marvelous things happen — Curiosity sets its wheels down on the surface of Mars, Cassini swings through the rings of Saturn, Hubble sends home an image of some violent, violet nebula bigger and more distant than anything we could fathom — and the thrill is suddenly back.
(MORE: Shiny Fleck on Martian Surface! Why It Matters)
We've always had a powerful taste for the paradigm-shifting, reality-bending space discovery. We're a peculiar, questing, deeply irrational species that will devote massive amounts of sweat and treasure to grand explorations that don't do a single thing to keep us fed or warm or alive but make us exceedingly glad to be alive in the first place. The problem is, we're also an impatient species, and too often we leap ahead of the progress our great projects have made, wanting the payoff now, the headlines now and missing the exquisite incrementalism that makes the journey possible. That was never more evident than last week.
The problem began with a story by NPR reporter Joe Palca, who visited JPL to interview Grotzinger. In the space world, Grotzinger is a very big get, a lead scientist for the last two rovers and the man whose team in 2004 nailed down the mineralogical evidence proving that water — a great, great deal of it — once flowed on Mars. During his talk with Palca, Grotzinger described findings that would soon be announced from soil and air analyses that Curiosity had been conducting.
"The science team is busily chewing away on [the information] as it comes down," he said. "This data is going to be one for the history books. It's looking really good."
(MORE: Cosmic Old Faithful: Are There Geysers on Mars?)
That set it off. Think Mitt Romney wishes he never said "corporations are people"? Think Bill Clinton wishes he never said "I didn't inhale"? Grotzinger must surely feel the same way about "one for the history books." The frenzy got so bad that late last week JPL felt obliged to issue a settle-down press release. "Rumors and speculation that there are major new findings from the mission at this early stage are incorrect," it read. "The instruments on the rover have not detected any definitive evidence of Martian organics."
The confusion in this case is in how you define history. When you're deep in the weeds of any arcane field, even the smallest developments can make huge differences. Baseball nuts pump their fists over a tiny uptick in a lead-off hitter's on-base percentage, because that means a few more runs, a few more runs means a few more wins and a few more wins might mean making the playoffs instead of sitting home like last year. Political junkies who clicked on Nate Silver's site a dozen times a day would do the same kind of thing, lying awake at night worrying about the difference between likely and unlikely voters in the 35-to-54 mid-Atlantic demographic because they knew it was on that little fulcrum that counties, then states, then whole elections can flip.
Something similar was going on with Grotzinger. What both the people who overreacted to his words and those who urged caution speculated was that Curiosity had detected methane, a byproduct of biological processes. But it may also be produced by geological interactions, accumulating in pockets below ground and then slowly outgassing to the surface. Still, if methane turns up in a scoop of soil or sniff of air, it's not unreasonable to speculate that microbes may be present nearby, running through their metabolic cycle and producing waste gas the same way their cousins on Earth do.
(PHOTOS: Martian Vistas: A Look at the Curiosity Rover's New Home)
It pays, however, for scientists to stay tight-lipped until they've nailed down their findings. As TIME reported when the chatter began, the first run of the rover's chemical sensors turned up what seemed to be definitive evidence of methane, but that was before the engineers had run a complete purge cycle, expelling any trace of atmospheric gasses carried up from Earth. When a full cleansing was done, the methane evidence disappeared.
Whatever Grotzinger knew or suspected about his data at the time, he and NASA were surely not playing cute — using a term like history books to hype a small discovery just to build up public interest. That, after all, only led to public disappointment. Instead, he was probably indulging in a little verbal high-fiving, a mini celebration that might have been better shared with other scientists who understand the limitations of the finding.
"John was excited about the quality and range of information coming in from [Mars] during the day a reporter happened to be sitting in John's office," said JPL spokesman Guy Webster in an e-mail to TIME shortly after the comment was made. "As for 'history books,' the whole mission is for the history books."
The lesson for JPL and NASA is straightforward: scientists should be circumspect when outsiders are present, and spokespeople should be ready to put out p.r. blazes the second they occur. The lesson for the rest of us is a bit harder: we need to grow up. It's not just achieving a great scientific goal like finding extraterrestrial life that counts; it's the extraordinary fact that we're able to go looking for it at all. A 1 ton SUV-size car, stuffed with a fantastic suite of scientific instruments, is at this moment sitting on Mars. It drives where we tell it to drive, it runs the experiments we tell it to run.
There's deep genius in building such an improbable machine and sending it across 154 million miles of void to the precise spot we wanted it to go. And there's a different, subtler kind of genius to be found in anyone who chooses to follow the bit-at-a-time work the rover will do over the next two-plus years. The men and women of NASA aren't the only ones allowed down in the weeds. We can all spend a little time there — and we'll be better, smarter and scientifically wiser if we do.

The goal of this beta release is to demonstrate the core Chrome Remoting technology and get feedback from users. This version enables users to share with or get access to another computer by providing a one-time authentication code. Access is given only to the specific person the user identifies for one time only, and the sharing session is fully secured.
One potential use of this version is the remote IT helpdesk case. The helpdesk can use the Chrome Remote Desktop BETA to help another user, while conversely a user can receive help by setting up a sharing session without leaving their desk. Additional use cases such as being able to access your own computer remotely are coming soon.
Chrome Remote Desktop BETA is fully cross-platform, so you can connect any two computers that have a Chrome browser, including Windows, Linux, Mac and Chromebooks.
I've installed the extension on a Dell laptop that runs Windows 7 and on a Samsung Chromebook. The extension has more than 17 MB, so you have to wait a little bit until it's downloaded and installed. After installing the extension on my Dell laptop, I clicked the new icon from the new tab page and Chrome Remote Desktop asked me to "grant extended access permissions" to my computer.
Chrome Remote Desktop is a special extension because it can be used to control your computer. It's interesting that the extension uses Google Talk's technology to send messages.
When you decide to share your computer, Remote Desktop generates a code you need to enter on a second computer.
Here's what happens after installing the extension on my Chromebook:
The performance is pretty good, but it depends on your Internet connection and the computers you're using. The extension is especially useful for businesses and it will make Chromebooks even more attractive for companies.
{ Thanks, Venkat. }

Barack Obama has worked on political reform more than any other issue.... He's spent much of his career talking about how much he believes in public financing. In January 2007, he told Larry King that the public-financing system works. In February 2007, he challenged Republicans to limit their spending and vowed to do so along with them if he were the nominee. In February 2008, he said he would aggressively pursue spending limits. He answered a Midwest Democracy Network questionnaire by reminding everyone that he has been a longtime advocate of the public-financing system.It's fine with me. I don't like the campaign finance scheme. And I like a practical politician who adjusts to changing circumstances. It's good news that he's not an ideologue. I don't think he's going to lose the people who fell in love with him as a vision of idealism. I think he's going to gain moderate people like me who want an effective, sensible leader.
But Thursday, at the first breath of political inconvenience, Fast Eddie Obama threw public financing under the truck. In so doing, he probably dealt a death-blow to the cause of campaign-finance reform. And the only thing that changed between Thursday and when he lauded the system is that Obama's got more money now.
ADDED: Here's the video of Obama justifying his decision and making it sound as though McCain is slimy for staying in the system. Here's FactCheck's analysis:
Obama: We face opponents who've become masters at gaming this broken system. John McCain's campaign and the Republican National Committee are fueled by contributions from Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs.
To say that either the McCain campaign or the RNC are "fueled" by money from lobbyists and PACs is an overstatement, to say the least. Such funds make up less than 1.7 percent of McCain's presidential campaign receipts and 1.1 percent of the RNC's income.
McCain – As of the end of April, the McCain campaign had reported receiving $655,576 from lobbyists, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That is less than seven-tenths of 1 percent of his total receipts of $96,654,783. His campaign also took in $960,990 from PACs, amounting to just under 1 percent of total receipts. The two sources combined make up less than 1.7 percent of his total.
RNC – The Republican National Committee has raised $143,298,225, of which only $135,000 has been come from lobbyists, according to the CRP. That's less than one-tenth of 1 percent. It also took in about 1 percent of its receipts from PACs, CRP said. Taken together, that's about 1.1 percent from PACs and lobbyists.

I also cut the recipe in half and still ended up with enough waffles to store some in the freezer for a future use. To begin, I weighed out 15 ounces of thawed, fully cooked, black beans. I brought them to a boil with a half cup of water, a big pinch of cumin, a smaller pinch of cayenne, and a generous sprinkling of ancho powder which made me think of Bobby Flay. The beans simmered for a few minutes, and then they were removed from the heat and allowed to cool. Once cool, they were blended with eggs, milk, and olive oil. That blended mixture was whisked into flour, baking powder, and salt. Then, waffle production began. I always let just enough time pass between waffle preps that I forget if it's five minutes, six minutes, or seven minutes. Five is definitely not quite long enough to get a nice toasty surface on both sides. Six is ok, but seven seems to be just right for my machine. Once the waffles were finished and placed in a warm oven to wait, I fried some eggs as suggested in the recipe. Chopped chiles were added to olive oil in a saute pan, the eggs were placed in the hot pan, and the oil was used to baste the egg whites as they cooked.
To finish the dish, I strayed again from the Italian flavors intended. I left out the prosciutto and used cotija cheese and some crema instead. The waffles were topped with the eggs, a mix of chopped fresh yellow tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes, sliced red and green serrano chiles, and some cilantro. A nice, runny egg provides a sauce of sorts, and the fresh, juicy tomatoes and crema work in that way as well. It was a plate full of contrasting textures and colors. Of course, the waffles didn't turn out at all black from the beans, but I wondered if their color would have been more interesting if I had used some blue corn meal. I'll try that next time. I'm always a fan of spicy toppings with eggs, but this melange was above and beyond my usual southwestern breakfast fare.

Updated 2016
Burma has always been a great value for travelers with Australian Dollars in their pockets, but it hasn't always been possible, or easy to travel in. As the political situation eases and tourism begins to take route, it's a great time to get in early. And, it's not a country that all of your friends will have visited! Hence, we've added it to our Top 10 Value Destinations for Australian Dollar Travelers for 2016. Don't wait!
Myanmar was #2 on our list of Top Indie Travel Destinations for 2013!
There are disagreements about what to call this country. Is it Burma or Myanmar? Something else? The political situation in Myanmar, or Burma, is unstable, but the country has been able to do something that few places can, undergo a somewhat violent change in power without making the destination unsafe for travelers. Back to the name, in 1989 the English translation of the country was switched from 'Burma' to 'Myanmar' and depending on who you talk to both names are used interchangeably.
Read: Burma is Back!
Why you should add Burma to your trip
- Take a flying leap off the beaten path and get your explorer senses tingling in a place where you can explore for days yet only see tourists in your hostel. Go soon, because Burma's opening up and it won't be so isolated for long.
- Stepping into Burma is like stepping back in time. Its cities have barely changed since the 60s and its tribes live as they have done for centuries. Nowhere else in Asia will you see such untouched lifestyles, relics, religions and landscapes.
- Live in the lap of luxury or out of a backpack. Sculpt any trip to Burma around your budget. If you're feeling flush, fly from city to city, stay in mind numbingly glamorous hotels, and eat western food. Or travel overland, book into hostels, and eat local to stretch your dollars.
- Get lost in the Temples of Bagan. Once called The City that Tramples on Enemies, Bagan is an ancient temple city unmatched anywhere else in the world, with thousands of temples stretching to the horizon across a parched, dry landscape.
- You can't get bored in Burma. If you ever get enough of its vibrant cities, its pristine nature, its ancient culture, you can escape to some of the best beaches in the world.

Indie Travel Tips
- People are friendly and the general standard of English is high, so don't be afraid to talk to the locals. Who knows what adventures you might unlock.
- While the vast majority of shops and tour guides are honest, there are still the occasional bad eggs. Make sure you ask around to ensure you're getting a reasonable price, and bargain hard.
- Buses and planes are constantly canceled or rescheduled without notice, so if you're pushed for time, arrange your trip with a local travel agent so they can help you if things go pear shaped.
- Keep a Longhi (Burmese sarong) or long shorts on hand since you'll need to cover your knees whenever you visit a temple or Buddhist site. If you're female, you'll need to cover your shoulders, too.
- Cruise the Irrawaddy, from Mandalay to Bagan or back the other way on a luxury cruise or a ferry. Either way, you'll be rocked to sleep by the bobbing of the boat as you watch temples drift by on the shores and overtake fishermen in dugout canoes .
- If you've spent a lot of time exploring Yangon, don't spend too much time in Mandalay. It seems to lack the absorbing atmosphere of Yangon. When visiting Burma you can't avoid sending money to the Junta, but you can lower your contribution to their coffers. Avoid high end hotels, travel overland, eat at local places and use rickshaws/auto rickshaws. The general rule is, if it's high end they get a cut of it.
- Incomes are still painfully low for most Burmese. Spread your tourist dollars around when you can by using a different driver every day and eating in different local restaurants.
For decades Burma has been subjected to trade embargoes and tourism boycotts, so few have visited one of the most incredible countries in Asia. It's now making huge strides to open up its economy and has even been visited by US President Barack Obama. Since then, more travel companies have started organizing tours, more airlines have started flying there, and more people are going.
What to see
Traveling to Myanmar gives you sense of the south east Asian culture and lifestyle. Although Myanmar has more coastline than much of the rest of the countries surrounding it, tourists go to Myanmar in order to experience the local culture and cuisine rather than lounge on the beaches. The temples of Bagan, the cities, and the people are the biggest tourist attraction.
For more in depth information on what to do and see in Burma, check out the following articles:
The best way to get to Myanmar is to fly into Bangkok then catch a flight to Yangon. You can now fly from Singapore on Singapore Airlines, Malaysia on Malaysia Airlines, China on China Eastern, Doha on Qatar, and even Hong Kong on Dragonair. Most of these are new flights!
You can also travel overland into Myanmar from Thailand. There are land crossings from China and India, though both can be difficult and are always changing. It's best to check on the current situation before committing.
Buses are probably the quickest, cheapest, and easiest way to get around Myanmar, but you can also get around by train and/or boat. As always, check with local operators as things are always changing here.
The tourist centers of Mandalay, Yagon and Bagan have a wide selection of hotels. There are many hostels and budget hotels throughout the country as well. For luxury accommodation, there are five star resorts and deluxe hotels up and down the coastline, as well as on Inlay Lake.

First, I began making the fresh pasta following the recipe for George's Fresh Pasta on page 212. There is a very specific explanation of how much egg is to be used: two jumbo eggs, weighing four and one-half ounces in their shells, slightly over one-half cup but less than two-thirds cup. Right, so I used two eggs which seemed to be in the acceptable volume range, and I used two cups plus two tablespoons 00 flour as advised. This was mixed in a food processor with salt, and one tablespoon of hot tap water was added at the end. The result was unworkable, dry, hard pasta dough that was soon scooped into the garbage. Rather than admitting defeat and going to buy dried lasagne, I called Kurt and talked him into getting eggs on his way home. I checked Marcella's recipe which I've used before successfully, and her ratio was four eggs to two cups of flour. For pasta dough round two, that's what I used again with the 00 flour. That worked perfectly and produced beautiful pasta dough but put me an hour and a half behind in the preparation. There was no turning back though.
Two pounds of asparagus were roasted, onions were sauteed. The roasted asparagus was chopped and added to the onions. Milk was simmered with some lemon peel and then used to make the bechamel. All of this transpired while the rolled and cut pasta sheets dried. Said pasta sheets were then briefly boiled, shocked in ice water, and drained on towels. Then, the layering began. A baking dish was sprayed with oil, pasta sheets went into the bottom allowing for them to come up the sides and overhang the dish. Bechamel found its way onto the pasta sheets followed by grated parmigiano reggiano followed by the asparagus onion mixture and some cream. This was repeated with more pasta sheets that fit inside the ones overhanging. Once all the layers were in place, the overhanging sheets were tucked over top, and the remaining bechamel and cheese were spread about before the top was drizzled with olive oil. And, just before I nearly passed out from hunger, the lasagne went into the oven for about 30 minutes.
Given that this was not a thirty minute meal, and that I faced certain challenges that set me back in my overall scheduling, I was completely incapable of waiting the full five minutes before cutting and serving. Hence, the photos of the plated lasagne clearly depict the wonderful bechamel and cream as it oozed forth from the layers. Even after it sat for several minutes, this wasn't a lasagne that held its shape when cut. What I can tell you though, is that roasted asparagus and some onion in concert with a simple bechamel, really good parmigiano reggiano, and homemade pasta is more delicious than I can describe. Do make the pasta, with four eggs, and do use the cream, and find a big chunk of time when you can do all of this because like everything else from this book, it was a pure delight to eat.

New Pope – Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, Now Francis I
Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has been elected as pope. He is the first Latin American to lead the Catholic Church. Bergoglio, who has taken the name Francis I, is also the first Jesuit priest to become pope.
In his first words to those gathered at St. Peter's Square, Francis I said, "Before I give you a blessing, I ask you for a favor—I want you to bless me."
Bergoglio is believed to have been the runner-up to Joseph Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, during the previous papal election. His stances on social issues place him firmly in the church's conservative wing. His selection of the name Francis is intriguing, in that he appears to be reaching out to the Franciscans, often considered a rival of the Jesuits. The name Francis also recalls St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most beloved and venerated figures in Christianity. At least one Vatican expert called the selection "precedent-shattering."
While in his role as archbishop of Buenos Aires, he clashed with the country's president over gay marriage and contraception and described gay adoption as discrimination against children. But he was also admired for his humility: he chose to ride public transportation rather than be chauffeured around in a church-provided limousine and cooked his own meals, among other such acts of modesty.

I had not had a Kiwi fruit till date and was really curious to see how it tastes.Well,I would say it really is an acquired taste and not all[me included] would like it.But they don't come cheap and I had to find a way to use them.I pulled out my recently acquired Cake book and Voila..a Kiwi Fruit Cake..which seemed perfect for the situation.I have to say the fruit tastes better in the cake.Ajay liked it so much and even bought a tub of Vanilla ice-cream saying that it would taste better with ice-cream and it did! A slice of cake with a dollop of ice-cream and we were in Kiwi-Ice-cream heaven!!!

Women have new options for breast cancer surgery
CHICAGO (AP) — Treating breast cancer almost always involves surgery, and for years the choice was just having the lump or the whole breast removed. Now, new approaches are dramatically changing the way these operations are done, giving women more options, faster treatment, smaller scars, fewer long-term side effects and better cosmetic results.
It has led to a new specialty — "oncoplastic" surgery — combining oncology, which focuses on cancer treatment, and plastic surgery to restore appearance.
"Cosmetics is very important" and can help a woman recover psychologically as well as physically, said Dr. Deanna Attai, a Burbank, Calif., surgeon who is on the board of directors of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. Its annual meeting in Chicago earlier this month featured many of these new approaches.
And they're in the news today — actress Angelina Jolie revealed she had both breasts removed preventively because she carries a gene that puts her at high risk of developing breast cancer. She was able to preserve her nipples and had a series of operations to reconstruct her breasts with implants. There have been many advances and "results can be beautiful," she wrote in a personal essay in the New York Times.
Some of those advances:
More women are getting chemotherapy or hormone therapy before surgery to shrink large tumors enough to let them have a breast-conserving operation instead of a mastectomy. Fewer lymph nodes are being removed to check for cancer's spread, sparing women painful arm swelling for years afterward.
Newer ways to rebuild breasts have made mastectomy a more appealing option for some women. More of them are getting immediate reconstruction with an implant at the same time the cancer is removed rather than several operations that have been standard for many years. Skin and nipples increasingly are being preserved for more natural results.
Some doctors are experimenting with operating on breast tumors through incisions in the armpit to avoid breast scars. There's even a "Goldilocks" mastectomy for large-breasted women — not too much or too little removed, and using excess skin to create a "just right" natural implant.
Finally, doctors are testing a way to avoid surgery altogether, destroying small tumors by freezing them with a probe through the skin.
"Breast surgery has become more minimalistic," said Dr. Shawna Willey of Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"Women have more options. It's much more complex decision-making."
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women around the world. In the U.S. alone, about 230,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Most can be treated by just having the lump removed, but that requires radiation for weeks afterward to kill any stray cancer cells in the breast, plus frequent mammograms to watch for a recurrence.
Many women don't want the worry or the radiation, and choose mastectomy even though they could have less drastic surgery. Mastectomy rates have been rising. Federal law requires insurers to cover reconstruction for mastectomy patients, and many of the improvements in surgery are aimed at making it less disfiguring.
Here are some of the major trends:
Doctors used to think it wasn't good to start reconstruction until cancer treatment had ended — surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. Women would have a mastectomy, which usually involves taking the skin and the nipple along with all the breast tissue, followed by operations months later to rebuild the breast.
Reconstruction can use tissue from the back or belly, or an implant. The first operation often is to place a tissue expander, a balloon-like device that's gradually inflated to stretch the remaining skin and make room for the implant. A few months later, a second surgery is done to remove the expander and place the implant. Once that heals, a third operation is done to make a new nipple, followed by tattooing to make an areola, the darkened ring around it.
The new trend is immediate reconstruction, with the first steps started at the time of the mastectomy, either to place a tissue expander or an implant. In some cases, the whole thing can be done in one operation.
Nationally, about 25 to 30 percent of women get immediate reconstruction. At the Mayo Clinic, about half do, and at Georgetown, it's about 80 percent.
Doctors usually take the skin when they do a mastectomy to make sure they leave no cancer behind. But in the last decade they increasingly have left the skin in certain women with favorable tumor characteristics. Attai compares it to removing the inside of an orange while leaving the peel intact.
"We have learned over time that you can save skin" in many patients, Willey said. "Every single study has shown that it's safe."
Now they're going the next step: preserving the nipple, which is even more at risk of being involved in cancer than the skin is. Only about 5 percent of women get this now, but eligibility could be expanded if it proves safe. The breast surgery society has a registry on nipple-sparing mastectomies that will track such women for 10 years.
"You really have to pick patients carefully," because no one wants to compromise cancer control for cosmetic reasons, Attai said.
"The preliminary data are that nipple-sparing is quite good," but studies haven't been long enough to know for sure, Willey said. "It makes a huge difference in the cosmetic outcome. That makes the woman's breast recognizable to her."
Dr. Judy Boughey, a breast surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, said the new approach even has swayed patients' treatment choices.
"We're seeing women choosing the more invasive surgery, choosing the mastectomy," because of doctors' willingness to spare skin and nipples, she said.
It helped persuade Rose Ragona, a 51-year-old operations supervisor at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. She had both breasts removed on April 19 with the most modern approach: Immediate reconstruction, with preservation of her skin and nipples.
"To wake up and just see your breasts there helped me immensely," she said.
She chose to have both breasts removed to avoid radiation and future worry.
"I felt it was a safer road to go," she said. "I can't live the rest of my life in fear. Every time there's a lump I'm going to worry."
Attai, the California breast surgeon, is one of the researchers in a national study testing cryoablation. The technique uses a probe cooled with liquid nitrogen that turns tumors into ice balls of dead tissue that's gradually absorbed by the body. This has been done since 2004 for benign breast tumors and the clinical trial is aimed at seeing if it's safe for cancer treatment.
"The technology is amazing. This is done in the office under local anesthesia, a little skin puncture," Attai said.
In the study, women still have surgery at some point after the freezing treatment to make sure all the cancer is destroyed. If it proves safe and effective, it could eliminate surgery for certain cancer patients.
"I'd love to see the day when we can offer women with small breast tumors a completely non-operative approach, and I do think that's coming soon," Attai said.

stempublishing.com : J. N. Darby : Synopsis : 2 Thessalonians : Introduction | Next chapter |
Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 |
In the second epistle to the Thessalonians, the apostle corrects some errors into which these disciples had fallen with regard to the day of the Lord through certain false teachers; as in part of the first epistle he had enlightened the ignorance of the believers themselves respecting the portion of the saints at the coming of Christ to take them to Himself — a point on which they were evidently but little instructed. A measure of Jewish darkness was on their minds; and they were, in some points, still subjected to the influence of that unhappy nation, which was ever struggling to maintain a position lost through its unbelief. This Jewish influence enables us to understand why the apostle spoke as he did in 1 Thessalonians 2:15-16. At that time this influence showed itself in the tendency of the Thessalonians to lose sight of the heavenly side of the Lord's coming, to think that He would return to the earth and that they should then be glorified with Him — as a Jew might have believed — and that the dead saints would therefore not be present to share this glory. I do not say that this thought had assumed a definite form in the minds of the Thessalonians. To them the principal and living object was the Lord Himself, and they were awaiting His return with hearts full of joy and life; but the heavenly side of this expectation had not its place clearly marked in their minds, and they connected the coming too much with the manifestation, so that the earthly character predominated, and the dead seemed to be shut out from it. When the second epistle was written, this Jewish influence had another character; and the false teachers were more directly concerned in it. |

- Avoid shoes that have seams over areas of pain, such as a bunion.
- Avoid shoes with heavy rubber soles that curl over the top of the toe area (such as seen on some running shoes), because they can catch on carpets and cause an accidental fall.
- Flat shoes (with a heel height of one inch or less) are the healthiest shoes for your feet. If you must wear a high heel, keep to a heel height of two inches or less, limit their wear to three hours at a time, and take them off coming to and from an activity.
- Laced, rather than slip-on shoes, provide a more secure fit and can better accommodate insoles, orthotic devices, and braces.
- Look for soles that are shock absorbing and skid resistant, such as rubber, rather than smooth leather.
- Shoes should be made of a soft material that has some give.

"Mojca Erdmann brought a sweet, beguiling voice and a demure sincerity to Susanna."
Opera review Le nozze di Figaro at the Met, The New York Times, 29 October 2012
"Mojca Erdmann is an ethereal, feather-light Lulu, accurate as a laser . . ."
Opera review Lulu in Berlin, Financial Times (London), 10 April 2012
Born in Hamburg, Mojca Erdmann began violin lessons at the age of six and sang in the children's chorus at the Hamburg State Opera. At 14, she began vocal studies with Evelyn Herlitzius, then worked with Hans Sotin at the Cologne Musikhochschule, where she also studied the violin. In the 2002 Bundeswettbewerb Gesang (German Federal Competition), Mojca Erdmann won both First Prize and the Special Prize for Contemporary Music. In August 2005, she was awarded the NDR (North German Radio) Music Prize at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival as well as the Luitpold Prize at the Kissingen Summer Festival.
While still a student, Mojca Erdmann was a member of the ensemble at Berlin's Komische Oper and also appeared at Berlin's Deutsche Oper and in Basle and Mannheim in roles including Oscar (Un ballo in maschera), Blonde (Die Entführung aus dem Serail), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Norina (Don Pasquale), and Humperdinck's Gretel. She made her Salzburg Festival debut in 2006 in the title part of Mozart's Zaide under Ivor Bolton (available on DVD on Deutsche Grammophon) and returned the following year as Zelmira in Haydn's Armida, also under Bolton. With the Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Simon Rattle, she sang in and recorded Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortilèges. Rattle also invited her to sing the Forest Bird in a new production of Wagner's Siegfried at Aix-en-Provence and the Salzburg Easter Festival. During the 2009/10 season she made her debut as Sophie in Strauss's Rosenkavalier in Stuttgart and as Ännchen in Weber's Freischütz at Vienna's Theater an der Wien.
Also a sought-after interpreter of contemporary music-theatre works, Mojca Erdmann made her Berlin Staatsoper debut in the world premiere of Takemitsu's My Way of Life, conducted by Kent Nagano. She is also highly regarded as a concert artist and recitalist. Nikolaus Harnoncourt invited her to sing in Schumann's Das Paradies und die Peri at the Vienna Musikverein as well as in Schumann's Scenes from Faust at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.
In 2010 the soprano scored a major triumph at the Salzburg Festival singing the lead soprano role in the world premiere of Wolfgang Rihm's new opera Dionysos. During the 2010/11 season, her engagements included Despina in Così fan tutte and Zerlina in Don Giovanni in Baden-Baden – both conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin and recorded by Deutsche Grammophon – as well as her Nice Opera debut as Marzelline in Fidelio, Pamina in Die Zauberflöte in Cologne, and her Bavarian State Opera debut as Adele in Die Fledermaus. In 2011, she made her Metropolitan Opera debut as Zerlina in a new production of Don Giovanni and as the Forest Bird in Siegfried. The latter production was released on DVD by Deutsche Grammophon in September 2012. She returned to the Met the following season as Susanna in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro. In 2012, she made her highly acclaimed debut as Berg's Lulu, in a new Berlin Staatsoper production conducted by Daniel Barenboim and premiered Rodion Schchedrin's Cleopatra and the Snake at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, conducted by Valery Gergiev.
Mojca Erdmann began the 2013/14 season with gala concerts in Aarhus, followed by her debut performances with the Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival and the Zermatt Festival. The soprano sings Sophie in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier in her Vienna Staatsoper debut as well as at the Metropolitan, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris. She performs Mozart's Zaide in concert at the Mozart Festival in Reutlingen. In concert and recital, she also appears at the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Graz Musikverein, the Frankfurt Opera and Alte Oper, the Helsinki Music Centre, the new concert hall in Aalborg, the Vienna Musikverein, Madrid's Auditorio Nacional and the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus as well as in performances of Orff's Carmina Burana in Tokyo and on a multi-city recital Japan tour with harpist Xavier de Maistre. The summer of 2014 brings performances of Strauss's Sophie at the Salzburg Festival as well as Rihm's Fremdes Licht at the Würzburg Mozartfest.
In 2010, Mojca Erdmann became an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist. Her first studio recording under the new contract, Mozart's Garden with Andrea Marcon conducting the Basle Baroque orchestra La Cetra, was released in April 2011, followed in October by Mozart's concert aria Ch'io mi scordi di te with pianist Hélène Grimaud and the Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestra. The Baden-Baden performances of Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte were released in September 2012 and August 2013, respectively. The Berlin Staatsoper Lulu will be issued on DVD in May 2014.
