8 September 2016 – David Peters
The Lord is giving you tools this weekend. Tools to secure breakthroughs that are coming. The Lord has blessed you in recent years. You have grown. The leadership have grown. But breakthroughs are waiting in heaven and they need to be earthed among you.
The Lord is kitting you out this weekend. Like a civilian joining an army – given his kit- uniform, boots, weapons. God is entrusting mighty weapons to you. He wants you to use them wisely and steward them well. If you do, you will see this church become a powerful instrument for kingdom transformation in this city and beyond.
At times, you have felt like you have hit a ceiling. What God imparts to you this weekend will help you smash through that ceiling. The devil has desired to contain you but breakthrough will bring breakout. You will have an investment in other nations. You will have an investment in other areas of this nation. You will be involved in church planting and also in releasing many from the restrictions the devil has placed around them to stop them fulfilling their destinies.
The season you are entering is one of greater breakthroughs.

Diffraction Effects (Example Photos)
(...Continued from above)
For calculating either the CoC diameter that you can specify in your choice of DoF calculator (of those that permit user-specification of max. CoC) or for calculating the f-Number at which diffraction will begin to inhibit a desired final image resolution at an anticipated enlargement factor, here are some definitions of the two variables used in each equation:
Enlargement factor is simply the ratio of the final image dimensions to your sensor or film dimensions. (Divide print diagonal by sensor diagonal, or print width by sensor width, for example.)
For your desired final image resolution, I recommend a value of 4- to 8-lp/mm when you want the print to survive scrutiny at a viewing distance of 10 inches. 4 lp/mm will satisfy most people at that viewing distance and anything greater than 8 lp/mm would be overkill (despite Ctein saying that some people can appreciate resolutions as high as 25 lp/mm in a print viewed at 25cm). If you only want to satisfy a viewing distance of 20 inches, you can cut my recommendation for desired resolution (at 10 inches) in half.
A desired final image resolution of 2 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 100 dpi (for a sensor that lacks an AA filter) or 144 dpi for a typical CMOS sensor, due to a 30% loss of resolution typically imposed by the RGBG Bayer algorithm and AA filter.
A desired final image resolution of 3 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 150 dpi (no AA filter) or 216 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
A desired final image resolution of 4 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 200 dpi (no AA filter) or 288 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
A desired final image resolution of 5 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 250 dpi (no AA filter) or 360 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
A desired final image resolution of 6 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 300 dpi (no AA filter) or 432 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
A desired final image resolution of 7 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 350 dpi (no AA filter) or 504 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
A desired final image resolution of 8 lp/mm requires an unresampled image file resolution of 400 dpi (no AA filter) or 576 dpi (with 30% Bayer and AA losses).
Before you can select a "desired" final image resolution, you have to be realistic when selecting an enlargement factor.
For example, the Nikon D300's 15.7 x 23.7mm sensor captures 4288 x 2848 pixels (12.21 MP) at a moderate pixel density of 181 pixels/mm.
Taking into account the loss of resolution caused by the RGBG Bayer algorithm and AA filter, typically a 30% loss relative to actual pixel count, if you "desire" to record subject detail in the final image at a resolution of 5 lp/mm, you'll be limited by pixel count to the following print dimensions:
Max. 5 lp/mm Width: 4288 pixels / 360 dpi = 11.91 inches
Max. 5 lp/mm Height: 2848 pixels / 360 dpi = 7.91 inches
Assuming you plan to make 7.91 x 11.91-inch prints (where the Pixel Count will support a desired print resolution of 5 lp/mm), your enlargement factor (without cropping) would be 11.91 inches / 23.7mm = 302.54 mm / 23.7mm = 12.8x
Now let's run the two equations for an anticipated viewing distance of 25cm (9.84-inches):
CoC (mm) = 1 / desired final-image resolution (lp/mm) for a 25 cm viewing distance / enlargement factor
CoC (mm) = 1 / 5 / 12.8 = 0.0156 mm
Your largest CoCs, which will occur at the near and far limits of DoF, must not exceed 0.0156 mm at the sensor, before enlargement. Plug this CoC diameter into your choice of DoF calculators (www.dofmaster.com, for example), then follow the calculator's recommendations for setting both your working aperture and your focus distance.
N = 1 / desired print resolution (lp/mm) / anticipated enlargement factor / 0.00135383
N = 1 / 5 / 12.8 / 0.00135383 = 11.54 (or f/11.54)
Thus, even when your DoF requirements indicate that you should use an f-Number larger than f/11.54, doing so would cause diffraction to inhibit your desired goal of 5 lp/mm in prints that require an enlargement factor of 12.8x.
(Continued below...)
(...Continued from above)
Unfortunately, the loss of subject detail caused by diffraction impacts the entire image uniformly, where loss of subject detail caused by defocus occurs only at the near and far sharps of DoF. Thus, it's more difficult to discern a loss of resolution that impacts the entire print vs. a loss of resolution that occurs only at the nearest or farthest distances in the subject space, unless you make a side-by-side comparison of two prints.
Any print can be made "sharp" by enhancing its acutance (edge sharpness), through the use of tools like unsharp mask in PS, but rendering actual subject detail at resolutions that cause people to gasp in appreciation, requires that you control both defocus and diffraction, to ensure that both the circles of confusion caused by defocus -and- diffraction's Airy disks are kept small enough, after enlargement, to satisfy your desired print resolution (which should have been chosen with consideration for an anticipated viewing distance).
For a better understanding of the difference between acutance and resolution, see Sean McHugh's tutorial on "sharpness" at http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/sharpness.htm
Remember that if the DoF calculator calls for an f-Number that you can't use (because the corresponding shutter speed would be too slow, or because that f-Number is larger than the f-Number at which diffraction will become visible, or because your lens simply doesn't offer that f-Number), all you have to do is....
Back away from the nearest subject until you're far enough away to use a viable f-Number (you'll have to recalculate DoF for this new range of subject distances).
Go to a shorter focal length without moving the camera (you'll have to recalculate DoF for this new focal length).
Resign yourself to making a smaller print: Reducing the enlargement factor by 1.414x (making a 10-inch print instead of a 14-inch print) allows you to open up one stop and get the same apparent resolution. Reducing the enlargement factor by 2x (making a 7-inch print instead of a 14-inch print) allows you to open up two stops and get the same apparent resolution).
Resign yourself to hanging the print in a location (over a piano?) where people can't examine it at your originally anticipated viewing distance: Increasing the viewing distance by a factor of 1.414x allows you to open up one stop. Increasing the viewing distance by a factor of 2x allows you to open up two stops. (This last solution is difficult to enforce, so it's not practical.)
Sometimes, in the interest of maintaining your intended composition (as defined by your original choice of camera position and focal length), it's best to just go for a smaller print (an enlargement factor lower than that specified when you calculated the Circle of Confusion diameter used to produce your DoF calculators) rather than backing away from the nearest subject or selecting a shorter focal length - both of which can change the composition drastically. But you've got to remember that you made this choice, in the field, to go with a smaller print. Don't cop out later and produce the full sized print only to suffer visible degradation caused by defocus and/or diffraction. Stay the course.
Lastly, please realize that there are many factors other than available pixel count, defocus and diffraction that can prevent you from achieving a "desired" final image resolution. What I've written here only describes an approach to controlling defocus and diffraction, with no attention given to lens resolving power at various apertures, the smearing caused by subject or camera motion at inadequate shutter speeds, film resolution and in-camera flatness (for those who are still shooting film), etc. Defocus and diffraction are, however, among the most controllable of factors affecting final image resolution, if you're willing to exercise that control instead of just rolling the dice every time you make an exposure.

Mike Davis wrote:
You've made an excellent point here, Lance, regarding viewing distance, which like enlargement factor, should always be declared when drawing conclusions about the impact of diffraction or defocus on one's ability to achieve a desired resolution (another varriable that should always be declared).
Again, I thank you for seeing the light, Mike! As I replied in the other thread with regards to your brilliant post:
"This has partly been where I have been coming from with regards to the 36Mp sensor and it being desriable, may be not to all, but to plenty of us. Others have gone off in tangents explaining how a FF 36Mp sensor will not assist us, will actually be a step backwards and that all we need is FF 12 or 16MP or whatever, but they miss this very vital point that I pointed out and that you have written about in your long and very interesting very detailed dissertation.
Again, I thank you for being another light of reason!" emoticon - smile

text: I have heard repeatedly that the birkin list at the Madison Avenue store is "closed" and has been for several years. What does this mean exactly? Is there is a list, and what does it mean that it is "closed"? No new names, or no new requests? (Its hard to believe that anyone in NY would wait 5 years without getting a birkin bag, and still be a customer, but hey, anything's possible I suppose). Is the list computerized, in a looseleaf notebook, or what? Forgive me, I know this type of question has been asked on the forum before. But unfortunately, I havent been able to glean a clear answer to the question.

Seaweed & CoconutBy
I grew up in a small town in Ohio. Everyone had modest dreams and winters were long and cold. Then, through a series of conditions, I ended up in a private school in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for my junior & senior year of high school. There was no more jarring transition in my life (well other than moving to NYC at age 22) – although most of the move to Florida was wondrous to my naive 16-year-old.
Instead of hanging out at a pizza shop, or driving around town in cars all night (since there wasn't even a movie theatre in the town & no one had money for dating anyway) – in Florida, I was water-skiing, walking on the beach, and drinking at sophisticated parties (where, at one, a girl got a yacht for her 16th birthday.) The homes of my friends there had an opulence that hardly seemed home-like. I'd never seen crystal chandeliers and marble floors – or such coiffed & made-up women, and it seemed all my fellow students drove Cadillacs or Corvettes (compared to my Ford Pinto – Okay, that dates me, but so be it.)
The diet in Florida was also unbelievable. There was now access to exotic fruits I'd never heard of in Ohio. I discovered papaya and mango (which was sinfully softly sweet.) I drank so much fresh orange juice that my mouth hurt. Outside my grandmother's house was a coconut tree and after hours with a hammer in the driveway, some dark-skinned man came up and kindly told me how quick, sharp hits on 3 spots cracked a perfect opening in the coconut. At the time, I wanted the meat – not the juice. (Unlike now when I have 9 fresh young Thai coconuts delivered to my door every 2 weeks and drinking the water out of one of those is darned close to the most refreshing nirvana.)
So, no, I don't think I'm here to talk about nirvana – or maybe I am … I just know that I was sitting here scooping the sweet soft coconut meat into my mouth – alternated with sweet, delicately crunchy strips of toasted seaweed & almonds – and marveled that these 2 enjoyed foods were not even something I knew existed when I lived in Ohio during my childhood.
And the reason I have paused to experience this moment in the first place is because I just spent many hours of this day handling 3 very delicate and intense situations (supporting clients & friends) in a way that helped everyone grow and have more compassion. Lots of talking & writing, lots of thinking things through from all perspectives and selecting what the optimal thing to say or encourage in that moment would be. It's hard to fathom where I got the skills to do that when, till the age of 31, I could easily have been described as brutally critical of self & others and "not a people person."
Then I started to think of how much of my life now was something outside of what I knew was possible when I lived in Ohio. Well, that actually applies to just about all of it – every aspect of my life: how I live, what I do, what I eat, how I exercise – even what kind of relationships I have. How I'm operating now wasn't even on my radar growing up in Ohio. (And I am by no means implying that anyone in Ohio has no clue – I'm stating that I had no clue – and that also had to to with my family, our education system, and yes, growing up in a very small town in Ohio in the 60's & 70's had alot to do with it as well.)
Regardless, in this moment, as I sip coconut water, crunch on toasted seaweed with almonds, feeling good about the progress I helped facilitate today, looking out at the sun beginning it's dive into the West – and enjoying the ever-entertaining adventures of my most adorable ball-of-fluff sidekick, as he attempts to out-think and wrestle a paper bag (and, at the moment, I think the bag is winning.) His comic timing is impressive. (And the fact, that he's a cross between Ewok, Winnie-the-Pooh, and the lion from the Wizard of Oz doesn't hurt either.) I could sell tickets to this. Yes, I'm enjoying this life, and grateful for the path that led me here.
Usually when I reflect on the path that led me here, there is some wincing, some regrets, but interestingly enough, more compassion flows these days than either of those two – and for that I'm grateful – yes, lots to be grateful for – not just the seaweed & coconut.
I was recently asked to tell "my journey" – i.e. how I got to where I am. I've been interviewed a few times (and have another interview for a show/podcast coming up tomorrow) and I am always interested to hear what I say in response to that. Sometimes it's what I thought about ahead of the interview – i.e. what I thought would be of interest or helpful to those who would listen to that particular program – but one thing I said lately, just made me smile. In fact, it's probably one of those things that used to make me wince, and now it makes me smile & feel warm – and also makes me laugh a bit. I like that.
What I said was … well, I recalled a time with a group of friends in NYC (in my 20's.) We were all sitting around and someone said we should all say what we want most – listing 1-5 things that were important in our lives, what we wanted to achieve in life. Success, money, fame, great skill & recognition, awards, achievements – with some family/children in the mix – were all listed. But I remember a couple of people saying that all they wanted was to be happy.
I remember thinking, "What's wrong with you? Don't you have any ambition? What in the world are you doing here in New York? Go sit under a tree somewhere and smell flowers, for God's Sake" I usually lost all respect for anyone who stated happiness as their main aim in life – I felt they needed to get a life. I mean, it takes no skill to be happy – what kind of accomplishment it that?
And I find it not just a little ironic that it could be said that what I do now is help people find happiness in life.
I mean, you gotta smile at that.
It wasn't on any list of mine in Ohio, or New York, or anywhere – as I said, I wasn't a "people person" – and it's now what I think of as our mission on this planet. Oh, that's sounded like I'm going into proselytizing there, yeah, I heard that. (But like missiles which continuously adjust their course, I'm veering back – I'll bring it home, hold on.) So let's call the "mission" (should we choose to accept it)- not just to be happy, but to be better people – more fully evolved – which involves more ease & less tension, more satisfaction and less suffering, more compassion and less judgment, and yes, more happiness and well-being.
In my experience, all comes from that.
And one needs to be present for all of that. So as I enjoy my path, my happiness, and my sunset view which includes an ocean breeze, I crunch another seaweed/almond snack and take another sip from my coconut. I feel good as I settle into the present moment – something that is always satisfying and fulfilling (and I believe contributes to the presence of those around is) – and I note that natural flow of appreciation, satisfaction, compassion, and yes, happiness.
Life is good.
(And you thought I was going to go into how seaweed & coconut create happiness – nah, the happiness was there all along, just need to look in the right directions …and seaweed & coconut don't hurt.)

This is for the young hustlers, the young go-getters and for the next generation who will inspire a new world.
You Were Taught To Be Ordinary
When I was a young teen I had all the odds stacked against me if I wanted to be extraordinary. My parents and teachers were teaching me to be ordinary and I had been conditioned to believe ordinary was the only way to be safe. I discovered later that people who live ordinary lives are never safe if they are dependent on the system to take care of them. This is not our parents and teachers fault, it is the clever system that is designed to keep me and you in line with the rest of the sheep's. You are going to come across a lot of B.S. in life. Let your heart guide you. There will be a lot of unrealistic people out there that will get in your way. You will get beat down to your knees from the world we live in today. People will feel offended by your individual ways of thinking if you are not apart of a collective culture. You will be deprived and mislead. Your crazy ideas along with your ambition will be put to sleep. It takes courage to face all these odds alone.
You are not alone!
If you want to escape from the prison of society then understand the 1 thing you have control over.
What is this one thing you say? It is your mind my young friend. The most lethal weapon against indoctrination is your individual thoughts. If you share your individual thoughts with the wrong crowd then you better expect the sheep's to tell the wolves about you. I want you to succeed and see you evolve into a lion. When you are coming up you need to behave like the sheep's or your creative energy will be put to sleep. Think as you like but behave like the sheep's and you will throw them off.
How Distraction Is Wiring Your Mind Today
It has never been more difficult to be more focus in our world today. You as the next generation will be suffering more from it. There are a million things trying to compete for your attention today and society's role is to make you a consumer and not a producer. Society knows weak minds stimulate the economy. Your role as the young generation is to question everything.
How is your mind being shaped by society today?
How are you giving access to your sub-conscious mind?
The cause of an unfulfilled life is constantly seeking novelty. It's a mousetrap with unlimited cheese. We have cluttered a beautiful mind and it will take sometime to recover from distractions. Our purpose in life is to seek out what makes us truly happy.
Attention is very valuable and distraction always finds a way to keep it away from its purpose. When you're watching TV you are in a relaxed state. This is when we are giving access to our subconscious mind to TV ads. Our minds are being shaped to divide our attention and to think in a collective way. Chasing your dreams is not going to be easy when the system is designed to re-program your mind. With all the distraction in the modern world you need to develop the ability to tune out. Learn to be in solitude or go for long walks without your phone. Block the world from having access to you for 1 hour a day. I can already imagine what your thinking. I can't live without my phone for a minute!! I can't sit with myself and I have to be distracted from the problems I am facing. I understand how you feel because your mind is shaped to protect you. I am not trying to get in your way like your mind is right now. I want to open up your mind so you can follow your heart.
Don't Become Naive
Question everything and don't believe anything unless it agrees with your reasoning or common sense. There is just too much information out there that contradicts each other. I don't even want you to believe me unless it agrees with your values. I am sick and tired of people that take advantage of others. This world is missing authentic leaders in every industry. We are living in the information age and we have to learn to filter out bad information so we can get to the truth. We have to become lawyers of the information age and give the right facts to people so the next generation is not misled.
Rejection Means Re-direction
Everyone faces rejection but the fact that others tie their self-worth to it is demeaning. Why should your self-esteem and confidence pay the price of rejection? How many times have you rejected an idea? Haven't you noticed people that get rejected the most seem to live a life most can't. Here are just a few names that faced daily rejections, Oprah Winfrey, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs and Walt Disney. Rejection is your teacher and it is redirecting you to something better. Learn to be un-affected by it and do not let your mind create negative stories about it. Learn to accept failure, rejection and pain to be apart of your life but don't accept not trying at all.
Share this so people can be empowered by the truth and comment below if it strikes an emotion within you!

Cape Town - Western Province advanced to the final of the Vodacom Cup by beating the Pumas 33-20 in their semi-final at Newlands in Cape Town on Saturday.Province led 23-12 at half-time and had the upper hand throughout as they delivered a polished all-round performance featuring powerful forward play and endeavour by the backline.For their part the Pumas were very direct in their approach, but they could not bash it up hard enough to trouble WP's defence. They were largely dependent on the boot of fullback JC Roos, who struck five penalties.The opening exchanges were keenly contested and the Pumas struck the opening blow through Roos in the eighth minute. However, that was the only time they had the lead.Demetri Catrakilis got WP level before hooker Sidney Tobias bashed his way over the try-line after an impressive rolling maul.Province also used their backline to good effect against the Pumas' big men and left wing Ederies Arendse finished five minutes before half-time after the ball had been moved from side to side.Catrakilis added another penalty before the interval and at 12-23 down it was difficult to see a way back for the Pumas.They got a lifeline 35 seconds into the second half through captain JW Jonker's try after WP were caught asleep at the kick-off.But Province soon got themselves out of range again.Catrakilis struck a penalty minutes after Jonker's try and WP were again two scores ahead of the Pumas.Roos again got the Pumas within reach, but WP struck the decisive blow 15 minutes before the end through a push-over try, which skipper Nic Fenton-Wells rounded off.While the Pumas were outgunned, they could not be faulted for effort.They laid siege to WP's goalline in the final 10 minutes, but were undone through a combination of their own errors and the home side's manful defence.There were a number of good performances on the WP side, with Berton Klaasen catching the eye in midfield and Catrakilis again impressing with his boot.Tobias was prominent in the tight loose and his prop colleagues Tom Botha, Schalk Ferreira and Deon Carstens all deserve to be singled out for providing the strength in a dominant scrum.It's now onward to Kimberley, where WP face Griquas in the final.ScorersWestern Province:Tries: Sidney Tobias, Ederies Arendse, Nic Fenton-WellsConversions: Demetri Catrakilis (3)Penalties: Catrakilis (4)Pumas:Try: JW JonkerPenalties: JC Roos (5)
Well done WP, from what I could follow on 'Twitter' it was quite an entertaining game......
Tough luck Pumas, you put up a good fight.
Mooi man Nou moet en later ook die Cheetas wen Shoe dit gaan n taaie wees Good luck
And now for Griquas.. being in Kimberley this will be a difficult one..just ask the bulls
Yip that is going to be a tough game!!!!
WP 4 Life!
Ek is n WP ondersteuner en kan wel se die Griquas in Kimberly is n perd van n ander kleur, dit gaan glad nie moeilik wees om die een te wen nie, maar ek het vertroue in my span dat ons onoorwonne sal bly en die een net net sal vat (dis wat teen die bulle getel het, hulle was baie ver agter en het mooi terug gekom), so WP moet asb nie soos die Stormers een helfte rugby speel nie en bring daai beker om langs on confrence beker van 2011 te staan in ons "kamma" lee kas volgens party on-ingeligte kenners...

Raspberry Pi helps a lot in learning to program. Many people are using it on daily basis to learn Python and C and you can also achieve great results in short period of time using Raspberry Pi. However, when it comes to physical computing and making, Arduino IDE stands on the top of the list.
You can use Raspberry Pi with Arduino components to program the Makeblock robot. This guide will help you in programming controls for robots like Makeblock.
1.Update Raspberry Pi:
It is important that your Raspberry Pi and the firmware powering Pi is always updated. You can setup SD card and perform update. You need to run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade commands to update the Pi.
2. Install Arduino IDE:
Installing Arduino IDE is very important. Arduino IDE is available in Raspbian repositories. You can run the following command to install Arduino IDE –
$ sudo apt-get install arduino
3. Install Arduino Libraries:
You need relevant Arduino libraries to power various Arduino boards. Run the following command to install Arduino libraries –
$ sudo apt-get install avr-libc libftdi1 avrdude openjdk-6-jre librxtx-java
4. Using Arduino:
Now you can start Arduino IDE, you can find it in Electronics section of the programs menu.The sketchbook in home folder holds all your live projects.
5. Makeblock Starter Kit:
You need to understand how Makeblock Programming works before actually programming the robot. You can download the zip file of example code from Github.
6. Install Makeblock Examples:
Look for the sketchbook folder in home directory. Make sure that you have turned off Arduino IDE. Copy the files from the example zip file in new folder inside libraries in sketchbook. You can now install this example code on Arduino.
7. Prepare The Robot:
If you are done with building your robot, remove its battery and plug the control board of robot in Raspberry Pi using microUSB cable. Start the Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Board > Arduino Leonardo and select the serial port.
8. Program Your Robot:
Go to File > Examples > Menu > Makeblock. Click on Starter Kit option and select IR control example. Upload the example to Makeblock and unplug the robot from Raspberry Pi. You will be now able to control the robot using remote controller.
You can modify the example codes to change the controls and functions. The programs are pretty easy to understand and gives clear idea of how these robots and other Arduino devices work.

It's not wrong if you tell them straight forward what YOU want. If they want to keep seeing you on your terms then you don't hold any responsibility if they get hurt later, because you were honest and you warned them.

If you are a victim of a criminal act, you can report it. Currently and according to the level of the emergency, you may request police officer assistance by dialling 911 (emergency) or go to the nearest local police station. Certain complaints can also be filed by Internet.
After information is taken and the event validated by police officers, a police report will be done. This report will then be sent to the investigation centre in question, where it will be reviewed by the control officer. Following this review, the complaint will be categorized as "proceed with investigation" or "further investigation not recommended".
The investigation is to "proceed" when the search for evidence allows for possible identification of the perpetrator or perpetrators on the crime. In such case, your file is sent to an investigator of the unit involved, who will proceed with the investigation and other verifications. Your cooperation is critical to concluding this investigation.
If the search for clues or witnesses does not identify the person or persons responsible for the offence, your file will remain inactive since currently, there is nothing to solve it. Be assured that, despite the fact that your file is not active, all the evidence will be processed and analyzed. It is possible that your file may be handled as part of a "combined" investigation. This is an investigation that combines several crimes that are similar to your file and where all the clues are assembled and examined in order to increase the chances of solving these crimes.
Consequently, if new information leads to continuing the investigation, your file will be immediately reactivated.
Regardless of how it is categorized, your file remains just as important.

"HISTORY repeats itself", so says the old adage. This article presents the interesting story of two former Presidents of their respective countries, who were both removed from power by their own political parties, by way of being forced to resign. They are, respectively, President Aboud Jumbe Mwinyi of Zanzibar, (1972 to 1984); and President Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, (1980 to 2017.
The respective events. In February, 1984, President Aboud Jumbe of Zanzibar, was firmly and unequivocally told (read forced) by his political party, Chama cha Mapinduzi( (CCM) to resign from that position, as well as his other positions as Vice-President of the United Republic, and Vice- Chairman of CCM.
Similarly, in November 2017, President Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, was equally firmly and unequivocally told (read forced) by his political party ZANU-PF, to resign from his position as President of that country, having earlier been stripped of his other position as President of that party.
The methodology of removing both these Presidents from power appears to be the same, that is to say, they were forced to resign; but the similarity ends there. It ends there simply because the other factors which led to their downfall, including the 'crimes' which were allegedly committed by each of them; and the circumstances and conditions under which this disciplinary action was taken against them, are totally different.
This is the subject matter for discussion in today's article, in which we will examine the 'crimes' allegedly committed by the said Presidents that led to their removal from power, the methodology used for removing them, as well as the circumstances under which such action was taken against these leaders.
Their 'crimes' were different. Whereas President Aboud Jumbe was accused of attempting to commit a breach of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania; Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's crime had no relation to a breach of that country's Constitution. His only crime was the blatant disregard of the cherished principles embodied in the concept of 'leadership ethics'.
The case of President Aboud Jumbe. President Aboud Jumbe's 'crime' was his attempt to commit a breach of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, 1977, regarding the sensitive matter of the "structure of the Union".
The said Constitution provides, in its article 4 (1) and 4(2), for a structure of two governments, namely the Union Government, and the Government of Zanzibar, in the following words:- Article 4 (1): "Shughuli zote za mamlaka ya nchi katika Jamhuri ya Muungano zitatekelezwa na kudhibitiwa na vyombo viwili vyenye mamlaka ya utendaji". This is clarified in article 4 (2), which provides that "Vyombo vyenye mamlaka ya utendaji vitakuwa ni Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano, na Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar".
In his determined attempt to breach these provisions of the Constitution, President Aboud Jumbe had decided to secretly prepare certain constitutional amendments which would introduce a third government in the Union structure, which was to be a new Government of Tanganyika.
The project is assumed to have been done secretly because he had apparently undertaken that task alone, without involving the relevant organs of the party, namely the Central Committee, and the National Executive Committee, plus, even more serious, he had avoided consultation with the relevant constitutional organs of the Union Government, specifically the President of the United Republic, and the Attorney- General's office.
This was a fatal mistake, because the President of the United Republic is the person who is required by his oath of office "to uphold and protect the Constitution as by law established". Hence, Zanzibar President Jumbe's attempt to conceal his project of amending the Constitution from the Union President , was absolutely fatal.
He had secretly embarked on his adventure into amending the Constitution by appointing a new Attorney-General for Zanzibar, a constitutional expert from Ghana, to help him to undertake the task of drafting the proposed constitutional amendments.
His project had proceeded quite well, and the proposed draft had in fact been completed, when news of this secret project became known to Mwalimu Nyerere, President of the United Republic and national Chairman of Chama cha Mapinduzi.
The secret draft had apparently been 'stolen' from Aboud Jumbe's office and delivered to President Nyerere, who appeared to have been appalled by Jumbe's action, and therefore decided to stop him. In his capacity as Party Chairman, Mwalimu Nyerere directed that the matter of President Jumbe's action be placed on the agenda of the following ordinary meeting of the CCM National Executive Committee, which had been scheduled for in February 1984.
The matter was duly discussed at the said meeting. In his capacity as the Zanzibar CCM Vice-Chairman, President Jumbe was also ex-officio member of NEC, and was thus present at the meeting. I was there too, and can reveal that the atmosphere therein was unusually tense and totally unprecedented.
When the 'prosecution' had completed presenting the case against him, he was given the opportunity to present his side of the story. Initially, he denied having undertaken such project, whereupon the secret draft which had been 'stolen' from his office was shown to him, and he was asked if he was prepared to deny knowledge of that document.
It was such incriminating evidence that there was no way he could deny it. He was therefore 'found guilty', and ordered to resign. To his great credit, he responded immediately by accepting to resign, not only from the Zanzibar Presidency, but also from his other positions as Vice-President of the United Republic, and that of Vice- Chairman of CCM. He must be given credit for having taken this honourable 'exit route', which earned him a lot of praise and respect.
His dignified response clearly distinguishes him from Zimbabwe President Mugabe who, as we shall see below, initially tried to offer unreasonable resistance by refusing to resign, until he was forced into doing so through other pressures which he could not possibly resist, specifically the prospect of his impeachment by Parliament, which loomed large. The case of President Robert Mugabe.
As was observed above, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's case is distinguishable from that of Zanzibar President Aboud Jumbe, in a number of significant respects. In the first place, Mugabe's apparent 'crime' has been stated as "an attempt to secure his family dynasty", by making open preparations for his wife Grace to succeed him as President of Zimbabwe when he himself ceases to hold that office.
The most transparent move in that direction was his sacking of Vice- President Emerson Mnangagwa, who was seen by many in Zimbabwe as the rightful successor to President Mugabe. This was, essentially, a breach not of the Constitution, but of the leadership code of ethics, which is equally detestable.
Secondly, Unlike Zanzibar President Aboud Jumbe who meekly and readily accepted his party's order to resign, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe defiantly resisted a similar order from his ZANU-PF party for more than a week, wrestling to remain in power, even in the face of intensifying pressure being piled on him to quit, not only from stakeholders inside Zimbabwe, but also from outside that country, specifically from the Southern Africa regional bloc, and from Zambia, who both announced they were dispatching high-level dignitaries to Harare to try and persuade Mugabe to resign. He did finally agree to do so, but only after the country's Parliament had started the process of removing him from power forcibly, through the rather painful impeachment process.
Thirdly, unlike the case of Zanzibar President Aboud Jumbe, whose resignation was accompanied by general sympathy and public understanding, Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe's resignation was followed by countrywide jubilation. It was reported by the news media that his resignation announcement "was greeted on the streets of the capital Harare with car horns and wild cheering", a clear indication that the majority of the people there were very happy to see him go.
Thus consciously or unconsciously, he had made one unforgivable mistake of sacking Vice- President Mnangagwa in order to position his wife Grace as his successor, and this is what apparently triggered fury in the army, and caused all the other steps taken against him, which followed shortly thereafter, eventually leading to his downfall from power.
As I said in my article last week, President Mugabe had, unconsciously, been captured in the fishnet of "the ethics avoidance syndrome'; which should be a good lesson to other leaders; that they should never allow themselves to be caught in this 'fishnet' of the "ethics avoidance syndrome".
A relevant lesson also for Constitution makers. Perhaps this could also be regarded as a lesson for law makers who enact Constitutions, when it comes to the issue of the powers to be allocated to the President by the Constitution, and in particular, the President's power to appoint the Vice-President, in jurisdictions where such posts are provided for in their Constitutions.
The relevant lesson is based on the proposition that "if Zimbabwe had a Constitution which denies power to the President to remove the Vice- President from office, President Mugabe would not have committed the costly mistake of sacking Vice- President Mnangagwa, which led to his downfall". Indeed, this proposition is not entirely theoretical, since there are countries in the world which have that kind of Constitution in place, including Kenya, Tanzania, and several others.
Article 47 (2) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania provides as follows:- "Makamu wa Rais atapatikana kwa kuchaguliwa katika uchaguzi ule ule kwa pamoja na Rais, baada ya kupendekezwa na Chama chake cha siasa wakati ule ule anapoteuliwa mgombea Kiti cha Rais, na watapigiwa kura kwa pamoja. Mgombea Kiti cha Rais akichaguliwa, basi na Makamu wa Rais atakuwa amechaguliwa".
In these circumstances, the President has no power to remove the Vice-President from office, who thus has a guaranteed leadership period of five years, that is to say, until the next general election. It should be noted, however, that this provision was included in our Constitution only after the transition to multi-party politics in 1992.
Previous Constitutions had provisions similar to that of Zimbabwe, whereby the Vice-President was appointed by the President and, consequently, could at any time be sacked by the appointing authority.
But this power was severely restricted by another provision of the same Constitution, which required that the Zanzibar President shall also be appointed Vice-President of the Union. It would be impossible for the Union President to sack an elected Zanzibar Vice- President.
The advent of multi-party politics changed this arrangement. This is a matter which actively engaged the minds of our lawmakers at the material time. This is because the results of the 1995 general election in Zanzibar had produced a scenario which pointed to a distinct possibility of the Opposition CUF party winning the Zanzibar Presidency at an early date thereafter.
The results showed that CCM had only won by a razorthin majority of 50.2 percent; while CUF had obtained 49.8 percent of the votes. On the other hand, CCM had won the Union Presidency by a comfortable 61.8 percent.
Such a situation, where Zanzibar had a CUF President while the Union President was from CCM, would automatically create a coalition of two parties in the Union Government. This was deemed undesirable, because ruling coalitions are normally negotiated between parties which are willing to form such an alliance.
Coalitions should NOT be created by a fiat of the Constitution, because such forced alliance would create difficulties in the operations of the Union Government. It was therefore necessary to find a solution, and the obvious one was to separate the office of the Zanzibar President from that of the Union Vice- President.
This was achieved through the Eleventh Amendment to the Union Constitution, which was designed to ensure that both the Union President and the Zanzibar President would be members of the same political party.
That is how the 'running mate' procedure was introduced for Presidential elections. And this, as we have seen above, denies power to the President to sack the Vice- President.Add a comment

A Grain of Wheat is a novel by Kenyan novelist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. It was written while he was studying at Leeds University[1] and first published in 1967 by Heinemann. The title is taken from the Gospel According to St. John, 12:24. The novel weaves together several stories set during the state of emergency in Kenya's struggle for independence (1952–59), focusing on the quiet Mugo, whose life is ruled by a dark secret. The plot revolves around his home village's preparations for Kenya's independence day celebration, Uhuru day. On that day, former resistance fighters General R and Koinandu plan on publicly executing the traitor who betrayed Kihika (a heroic resistance fighter hailing from the village).

Coffee, a great view...what else could you want? How about fresh croissants right out of the oven. Delicious. Very friendly staff.
We went there for dinner, on behalf of our hotel, "Maresca hotel". Not sure it was the best deal in the surroundings. View is amaizing and does it all. The food is low average, we did not like what we had. Service is the same.
(B&b copy and paste..)We didn't sleep here-- we just got lost , and went and ask for help to get to furore.... The family who owns the b&b (it was all the ladies of the family who helped us) was extremely kind! They helped us...More
As above, we had breakfast here and it was simple but absolutely great. A selection of high quality Italian fresh jams and fresh baked goods. The service was second to none and we have already planned to go back tomorrow.
Absolutely loved dining in this very casual, family-run restaurant overlooking the beach. Food was fantastic and authentic, and we really felt like we were part of the family. Everything was so fresh. Service was great, and the dessert was terrific as well. We dined inside...More
Thse food is fantastic and also they have a very beautiful hotel called La CONCHIGLIA. In my opinion, it missed the italian music in the restaurant.
Right on the beach of Praiano Marina, home made genuine food , excellent choice of the ingredients .Soup made by the "mamma" is super and … a lot of laughing with Pina .
We were advised by our driver to eat at this restaurant he stated great food without all the blahblahblah, he was so spot on. We walked by the day before we where going to dine there. We met the family Piña and Mamma wonderful people,...More
A simple no frills place to eat while at the beach of La Praia. Family run with good service and free advice about the town.
This hotel is nestled away in one of those little coves you drive by and wonder what it would be like if you had time to stop. The rooms are simply but elegantly furnished and spotlessly clean and most rooms have a partial sea view...More

The long-running sketch series Saturday Night Live has spawned some of the funniest and most memorable characters through their show and also help to launch many actors' careers past the series. But one of their most hit-and-miss ventures is movies based on their sketches, ranging from hits such as The Blues Brothers to flops like MacGruber.
But one of their biggest hits — and easily my personal favorite — film adaptations of a sketch was the 1992 comedy Wayne's World, which followed Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar, hosts of the public-access TV series of the same name, and their adventures up into the more corporate and cable TV world. Here's a trailer for the cult comedy:
The film proved to be a huge success for both Paramount Pictures, who made over $180 million at the box office, and for stars Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, being Myers' debut in feature films and earning rave reviews from critics, holding a "Certified Fresh" approval rating of 85% from critics on the review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes.
Even after 24 years, the film proves to be a true landmark in the comedy world, with the generation that watched it upon release passing it on to the next generation with glee, and the generation after that finding it to still be enjoyable to this day. Let's take a look back and look at some of the best moments in the film that truly help make this film a cultural touchstone nearly a quarter century later.
Rocking Out With Your Friends
Whether you're a classic rock fan or not, when "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen begins playing, you know you sit there and rock out to that timeless classic, banging your head when it comes time for the hard rock section of the song. Wayne's World opened up with Wayne and Garth hitting the town and picking their friends up, and once everyone's in the car, Wayne puts in the "Bohemian" tape and the boys rock out over the opening credits.
This portrayal of the group rocking out to the song not only captures what we all love to do to the song, but still connects with people who love to rock out to any kind of music when they have friends in the car, whether it's classic rock or hip-hop or even musicals. Here's the full clip of the group banging their heads and singing along to the Queen classic, specifically the operatic section:
Refusing To Sell Out
Ever since James Dean donned that infamous leather jacket on screen in 1955 for Rebel Without a Cause, American youth has been fueled by the mindset of rebellion, whether against authority or elders or even the upper class. Wayne's World captured this idea perfectly as the hosts are forced to host an interview with their sponsor thanks to the fine print on their contracts.
But in a strong show of rebellion, the two turn the interview into one big joke insulting their sponsor, Noah Vanderhoff. Not only does this scene involve a bunch of jokes and one-liners hard to forget, but its main theme of refusing to completely sell out still strikes a chord with the younger generation's rebellion even today. Here's the scene for your viewing pleasure:
Finally Being Able To Buy That Toy
We all know that feeling. You go to a store, whether it be a clothing store, an electronics store or a toy store, and you see that one thing that you really covet, but it's just not in your price range, even with a job. But once you've saved up enough money — or in Wayne's case get signed to a big TV deal — you finally get to purchase that coveted "toy" and go all out with it.
Wayne's constant obsession over the Stratocaster is finally quenched when he is able to purchase it with his new contract money and gloat in front of the store clerk who ridicules him for asking to hold the guitar once again, as well as Garth getting to live out a small dream rocking the drums in the store. Here's a look at the hilarious scene:
Selling Out, But Not Saying You Are
It happens time and time again, especially with artists and musicians. They stay on an anti-corporate path for a while before eventually giving in and in a way selling out. But what Wayne and Garth capture so perfectly in this scene is that in giving into other sponsors, they still don't want to admit they have, which is also what happens many times with similar artists.
We as a society want to think we are independent and can stay separated from major corporations and big money, but when it comes down to it, we all have our price, and will deny it when we do "sell out." This scene makes perfect parody of this ideal, and helps to make this movie truly last and connect even today. Here's the scene for your judgment:
Meeting One Of Your Idols
Let's face it: We all have idols, be they actors, directors, singers, artists, etc. but not all of us get to meet our idols face-to-face. We may get to meet a couple celebrities we are really fans of, but idols can be tough. In Wayne and Garth's case, however, not only do they get to go to one of their idols' shows — Alice Cooper — they get VIP backstage passes that get them to meet the idol and hang out with him.
They both react the way any sane person would if they got the chance to meet one of their idols: With their signature catchphrase "We're not worthy, we're not worthy, we're not worthy!" Here's the scene of the two meeting and praising the Godfather of Shock Rock:
Approaching Your Crush
No matter how confident you are when it comes to dating, it's never easy to approach that one person that you find to be so appealing you just have to talk to them. Wayne's World captures this feeling and portrays it through shy guy Garth, who's in love with the waitress at the boys' favorite local donut shop. He pines after her every time he sees her, and Wayne tries to convince Garth to go and talk to her, but Garth is like the rest of us, nervous of rejection.
In trying to figure out a successful way to approach her, Garth daydreams of doing a bizarre and hilarious dance to the classic rock hit "Foxy Lady" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Now while we may not all daydream about dancing to impress our crush, we do all try to figure out a way to talk to our crush and daydream some outlandish scenarios of doing so. Here's the hilarious and bizarre musical scene:
Running Into Your Ex
Breakups are never easy for either party, but one of the worst feelings is running into them after the fact in public, especially if the person dumped became a little too attached — like Wayne and Garth's interactions with Wayne's ex-girlfriend Stacy. While Garth's solo interaction is hysterical, him letting her know she's mental, the best scene to represent the awkwardness is still when the group run into Stacy at their favorite local donut shop, and after accidentally making eye contact with her, she comes over to the table and makes the most painfully creepy conversation with them.
We've all had to deal with these painfully awkward situations, and Wayne's World really portrays it in such a believable way that it will continue to connect with audiences down through the years. Here's the creepy — and hilarious — scene:
If you want to revisit the magic that his Wayne's World, it's currently streaming on Hulu.
What are your favorite moments from Wayne's World? Do you think it will continue to resonate with audiences down the years? Let us know in the comments below!

Subject: Re: Pythagorean Theorem
The BEST answer is for you to purchase, if you don't already have it, a software program called The Geometer's Sketchpad from Key Curriculum Press. It has several creative lessons on the Pythagorean Theorem which are just wonderful! See the Math Forum's dynamic geometry area: http://mathforum.org/dynamic/ Classroom resources: http://mathforum.org/dynamic/classroom.html where you can download a demo version to try out the program. There is also a video your state department should have that was created in California - there were 3 videos: 1) Pi, 2) Similarity and 3) The Pythagorean Theorem. Good luck!

**This is a sponsored post. I have received free products to help facilitate my review but all opinions are my own.
I've spent most of my life somewhat obsessed with the game of chess. Growing up, my brother and I played the traditional board game, balanced between folded, grass-stained knees in the park. As a teenager, I played long-distance correspondence chess through letters, imagining myself some sort of secluded Victorian author, buried in books and calculations. Yes, my brain was addled with romantic notions even then. On the internet I played KungFu chess with friends, riotous and fast paced.
So I was thrilled to get the chance to try out a new chess game. All Queens from ThinkFun is probably nearest to KingFu chess in terms of gameplay feel. It still involves great strategy and logic, but as the name suggests, you play using only the most powerful piece- the Queen!
The suggested age range is 8 and up, for 2 players, and at around $13 it's a bargain. The goal here is to get four queens in a row, which sounds easier than it is. The rules for the queen apply as in real chess, she can move any number of squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The difference is that no pieces may be captured.
Logic and creative thought are so important for developing young minds. I feel like this is a good game for younger children to get their feet wet playing chess. It's a bit easier and more fast paced- and I can easily see it leading to a lifelong love of both this version and the original game!
