Good morning.

Nasdaq +0.4%

"This was a strong report any way you slice it," says Omair Sharif, economist at RBS Securities.
"Yabadabadu!" …that's what Justin Wolfers of the Brookings Institution had to say.
"Still, without a clear step up in wages, and whilst the unemployment rate remains 6-something percent, we suspect the Fed will be loathe to change its formal stance with respect to the taper, or to the possibility of normalising rates," says Rob Carnell, chief international economist at ING.
That's all from MarketWatch's Greg Robb, who has a roundup of various reactions here — and the roundup also features the adjacent chart.

- A brief history of 1,000-point moves
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
If the Dow manages to close above 17,000, then it's move from 16,000 to 17,000 will have taken 223 days, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices' Howard Silverblatt.
That's far from the fastest 1,000-point move, and also far from the slowest.
It only took 35 days to go from 10,000 to 11,000 in 1999 — those go-go days for the market before the dotcom crash.
And in the late 80s and early 90s, it took the Dow 5,168 days to climb from 2,000 to 3,000, according to Silverblatt's data.

And here's some more food for thought on the Dow and 17,000.
One expert recently praised the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA for being the index that started indexing, but also said it's "not up to modern standards. For one, it's only 30 stocks."
The blue-chip gauge and its ETF /quotes/zigman/588977/delayed /quotes/nls/dia DIA don't give you broad exposure to the U.S. stock market, as you would get with something like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF /quotes/zigman/1477965/delayed /quotes/nls/vti VTI which holds more than 3,000 stocks and is ETF.com's top pick for total market exposure.
"You're missing 99% of the companies in the market," ETF.com's Matt Hougan told MarketWatch recently. And where the Dow ETF becomes "a little bit dangerous," he added, is that some investors might think they're getting broad exposure when they buy it.
Read all about this point of view here.
This live blogger in particular liked how Hougan described the Dow as a "dinosaur" and a "nice historical artifact" and "a bicycle with a giant wheel in the front."

The Dow at 17K "just doesn't feel right," says MarketWatch's David Weidner.

Today's session feels like it's all about Dow 17K and the jobs report, but there also was news from the ECB and a data release from ISM.
The European Central Bank left its main lending, or refi, rate unchanged at 0.15%, as expected, and made no changes to other key rates. That happened before the open.
The ISM services index dipped slightly to 56% in June from 56.3% in May. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a 56.3% reading. That happened at 10 a.m. Eastern, with little effect on stocks.

Some analysts are not as excited about the Dow hitting a record high and a significant round-number level.
Reminder: The Dow is irrelevant. For example, $V and $IBM are 15.3% of the Dow but just 1.6% of S&P 500. Thats a *big* difference.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average's push to 17,000 is raising concerns among some analysts that valuations are getting pricey, writes Tom Bemis.
Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Ava Trade, said in a note Wednesday that as stocks pushed to another record, "…investors turned their deaf ear to any kind of fundamental valuations. It seems like that traders do not want to pay attention to such values any more and wants to drive the markets higher."

Stuart Freeman and Scott Wren of Wells Fargo Advisors are sanguine about equity markets, but say the Dow 17,000 "is just a number."
They add that their year-end S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX target of 1975-2025 continues to hold, and that they expect the Dow /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime INDU to end the year above 17,000.
"It is typical for the broad market to move higher as domestic and international fundamentals move forward without massive increases in inflation. Today, capacity utilization is not tight, and inflation rates are modest. These are good signs for the broad equity indexes," Freeman and Wren added.

DENVER—A money-saving merger of the state Division of Wildlife with Colorado State Parks has now cleared both chambers of the state Legislature and appears close to approval.
The House voted 49-14 Friday in favor of the merger, which already passed the Senate. Lawmakers must resolve differences before sending the measure to Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, who proposed the idea earlier this year.
Hickenlooper has said the merger could save the state $3 million to $4 million a year. If approved, the change would take effect this summer.
Lawmakers have until next Wednesday to agree on merger language so Senate Bill 208 can be signed into law.

Chestnut Hill Hospital and Weavers Way Co-op will sponsor Lunafest, a film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women's issues. On Friday, March 8 at 6:30 p.m., nine short films featuring the work of a diverse array of talented women filmmakers with intelligent, funny and thought-provoking themes will be shown at the Brossman Center in Mt. Airy to benefit St. Catherine Laboure Medical Clinic in Germantown.
The traveling film festival, started in 2000, connects women, their stories and their causes through film. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women's health, motherhood, body image, aging, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.
"In addition to supporting women in film, LunaFest is about supporting women in our community," said Patricia Bailey, M.D., a breast surgeon, Chestnut Hill Hospital. "One hundred percent of the proceeds from the event go back to enhancing health and wellness of women and our families. Eight-five percent of every dollar raised stays local and will go directly to the St. Catherine Laboure clinic that provides primary medical care to those without health insurance, regardless of ability to pay."
The additional 15 percent part of the proceeds will benefit The Breast Cancer Fund, a national nonprofit whose mission it is to identify and advocate for the elimination of the environmental and other preventable causes of the disease.
"LunaFest is a powerful and different way that Weavers Way Co-op is making an impact on our community," said Bettina de Caumette, outreach coordinator, at Weavers Way. "Through our outreach with the Hospital and St. Catherine's, we're raising funds and awareness for issues that ultimately impact our entire community."
This season's selected films that will compel discussion, make audiences laugh, tug at their heartstrings and motivate them to make a difference in the community. Diverse in style and content, Lunafest is united by a common thread of exceptional storytelling – by, for and about women. Of the 950 films submitted for Lunafest, nine were selected. To see a list of the films and for more info on each, visit lunafest.org.
Lunafest is Friday, March 8, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (Hors d'oeuvres/cash bar); and 7:35 to 9:15 p.m. (Film review) at the Brossman Center in Mt. Airy, 7301 Germantown Avenue. Cost: $25 (100 percent of proceeds benefit nonprofit organizations). Registration is required. Call 215-885-0614 or visit clinicforuninsured.org to register.

Hamburg appoint Van Marwijk as new boss
Hamburg have appointed Bert van Marwijk as the permanent successor to sacked manager Thorsten Fink.
The Bundesliga club confirmed the arrival of the 61-year-old Dutchman on Monday, with van Marwijk signing a two-year contract.
Fink was dismissed following Hamburg's 6-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund nine days ago after collecting just one league win this season.
Temporary boss Otto Addo oversaw a 2-0 loss at home to Werder Bremen on Saturday that leaves Hamburg in 16th place in the German top flight.
Addo will remain in charge for the DFB-Pokal clash with Greuther Furth on Tuesday, meaning Van Marwijk's first game in the dugout will be Saturday's match at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sporting director Oliver Kreuzer welcomed the Dutchman to the club and backed him to turn their fortunes around.
"We are pleased that we were able to appoint Bert van Marwijk as coach of HSV," he told Hamburg's official website.
"He has extensive experience and has proven his competence in numerous cases."
Van Marwijk's last job was as the Netherlands national team manager between 2008 and 2012, a spell during which he took his country to the 2010 FIFA World Cup final.
He was relieved of his duties after they were eliminated from last year's UEFA European Championships with zero points from their three group games.
This will be his second job in the Bundesliga, after he managed Dortmund for two years from 2004.

35395, Children's Songbook, The Gospel, We'll Bring the World His Truth, 172-73
1. We have been born, as Nephi of old,
To goodly parents who love the Lord.
We have been taught, and we understand,
That we must do as the Lord commands.
2. We have been saved for these latter days
To build the kingdom in righteous ways.
We hear the words our prophet declares:
"Let each who's worthy go forth and share."
3. We know his plan, and we will prepare,
Increase our knowledge through study and prayer.
Daily we'll learn until we are called
To take the gospel to all the world.
We are as the army of Helaman.
We have been taught in our youth.
And we will be the Lord's missionaries
To bring the world his truth.

When I was given the opportunity to write a guest article for SLAM! Wrestling, I went back and forth in my head about how I wanted to present my story. See, I'm not all that "deep" and I'm pretty blunt. So here it is: on April 15, 2013, I was officially diagnosed with Advanced Stage-3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Yup, cancer.
I know, it's crazy right? I still at times have a hard time grasping it. The past 13 months have been a blur. A crazy, life-changing, eye-opening blur.
But before we get to where I am now, we gotta go to where I was.
In November 2012, after nearly 10 years in the wrestling biz, I felt as though I was really hitting my stride. My best friend, Michael Elgin, was really pushing me to attend the upcoming Ring of Honor Camp in Philadelphia. I was on board, what did I have to lose? I went in with a chip on my shoulder. This is Ashley Sixx -- like it or not. They liked it.
On January 5, 2013, the ball started rolling. I was invited to the ROH TV taping in Baltimore. The Greek God" Papadon and I kicked off the event with a killer little match. The crowd reaction was awesome, and the response behind the scenes was super positive. I was so happy that I literally had to find a quiet little spot to compose myself.
Things were looking great, I felt a change was coming. Little did I know how right I was.
Twenty-four hours later, I was being rushed to the emergency room in very serious condition. I couldn't stand, couldn't walk, couldn't lay down. The pain was unimaginable and my system was near septic. The doctors and nurses were stumped. After a blood culture test, it was determined that I had a very nasty staph infection that had resided in my SI (sacroiliac) joints.
At this point, it was safe to say my wrestling career was on hold.
But hey, I'll be back by summer right?
By the time March rolled around, I was feeling a lot of stomach pain. The doctors figured it might be due to all of the drugs that I was given during my stay in the hospital. But to be safe, they ordered a CT Scan. What they found surprised them. My lymph nodes seemed to be enlarged when compared to my last set of scans.
"So what does that mean?" I asked. "Cancer, probably," the doctor responded ever so bluntly.
On April 15, 2013, after a number of crazy tests, it was official. I had cancer.
"But, I need to wrestle..." was the first thought in my mind.
I left the doctor's office and stepped into a stairwell. The first call I made was to my boy Elgin. We've had each other's back since Day 1, through all of the insanity that both of our lives have brought. It sucked saying it out loud, but Elgin was super supportive. In or out of the wrestling world, this man is like a brother to me.
So that's what I did -- I wiped my eyes off and went to the gym.
For the next nine months, I would find myself at The Princess Margaret Hospital on a bi-weekly basis, receiving a full eight rounds (16 sessions) of chemotherapy.
It sucked, I'm not gonna lie. Being a human pin cushion it no fun. Losing all of your hair, beard and eyebrows is a knock to your self confidence. But regardless of all the side effects, I kept a positive attitude. This is only temporary. A small detour. A glitch in the matrix.
Leading a healthy lifestyle had really helped my body cope with the chemotherapy. I cannot stress enough how important clean living, a proper diet and weight / resistance training is.
Squared Circle Live gave me the opportunity to speak freely at their event at a recent show. I spoke about where I've been and what I've been through. It came to shock to a lot of people, even most of my peers. With the exception of a handful of people, I kept this to myself.
My Twitter feed BLEW UP that night, over 500 messages within a couple hours! I have also been receiving a ton of media requests for interviews, articles and features. It's crazy! I am put back by how many people are interested in my story.
Who knows, maybe my story can help someone.
So what now?
Now I get my body ready to return to the ring, full-time, and better than ever.
My return match will be part of the First Annual FIGHT! 4 CANCER in Toronto, Canada on April 13, 2014. All of the proceeds from this event will be in support of The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation -- a small thank you for how great I was taken care of.
I encourage all of you to come out for a good time and a good cause.
Stay Sixx,
Ashley Sixx

The Nars counter is LETHAL when it's new collection time, I tell ya! I went along for my make over with my favourite make up artist, Leena.
We used quite a few different things so I'll try and remember everything.
Damn I need to stop eating bread and stilton. Anyway….
No Primer – Leena forgot primer! I have to rib her about this, but she told me it's because I talk too much so it's my fault.
Base – the NEW anti aging foundation with –
* Exclusive Polypeptide Firming Complex™ helps firm and lift skin
* Antioxidants help protect against free radical damage
* Firming peptides help to reduce the look of creases associated with aging
* Includes brown algae, organic gotu kola, boswellia and a patented Gatuline RP combined with Vitamin C
* Skin feels significantly firmer and visibly lifted after 8 weeks
* Available in 16 synthetic fragrance-free shades, with a pump dispenser
I got Stromboli – oh I loved this. If felt light but had medium coverage and it guaranteed to reduce lines – good!
My usual concealer (Praline I think) and Powder Foundation on top.
Cheeks were Nico on the top of the cheek and under the eyes, and of course SUPER ORGASM on the apple of the cheeks!!! We also used SOUTH BEACH multiple under the cheekbone from the ear downwards.
Eyes were – Macaribo Cream Solo as a base, then JOLIE POUPEE – the new purple shadow. Oh yes, it's amazing – at last a true purple. Silent Night, the new gold was dotted in the inner corner. Night Flight, the dark blue from the Night series was used with a wet brush to line. The new eyeshadow, Black moon liner on the inner eye and mascara.
Lips – oh my GOD the lips. This was ROMAN HOLIDAY VELVET MATTE pencil as a base the RISKY BUSINESS, a strawberry sparkle gloss on top. Together it's bloody amazing:
I don't need to tell you that the haul from this visit was apocalyptic and I shall blog on this shortly. What's nice about the NARS stuff is it's infinately useable, unlike when I suddenly buy a Bobbi Brown Palette then never touch it again cos I got bored.
Do you like the look?

One-two punch
The forensics team stops for a quick group photo before boarding the bus bound for the NFA nationals.
April 20, 2010
Two weeks after claiming first-place at the American Forensic Association Tournament, the Bradley forensics team placed second in another national tournament this weekend.
Finishing with a total score of 525 points, Bradley finished runner-up to Western Kentucky at the National Forensics Association Tournament at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The performance is another national highlight in Bradley's long list of speech-team successes.
"A lot of our success can be attributed to having an administration that realizes how important forensics are and have been kind enough to provide us with the support we need," Director of Forensics Dan Smith said. "This program has been successful for so long that we don't need to do a lot of justifying, which is not the case at a lot of schools."
Since 1980, the Bradley Speech Team has won 36 national team forensic championships. This record of success is unmatched by any other forensic or academic program in history.
Bradley was led by senior Patrick Campbell, who claimed his first individual national title, finishing first in the persuasive speaking contest.
"It was pretty nice to be able to peak during my senior year," said Campbell, a four-year member of the forensics team. "Obviously, your goal at these events is always to score as many points as you can for your team. But within that goal, if you come away as the top participant in your category, why the heck not? It's a pretty great honor to win an individual title."
Apart from Campbell's individual performance, Smith said he was especially pleased with the maturity shown by the team's underclassmen.
"Our freshman class was the talk of the tournament," he said. "Getting them in a situation like that just speeds up the whole process. They don't understand what a national tournament is like until they have been there, but after they are able to experience one, they are more likely to build on that and now they have a great head start."
Among the high underclassmen finishers was Cecil Blutcher, who took third in prose interpretation and was a national quarterfinalist in after-dinner speaking and poetry interpretation. Blutcher also claimed national semifinalist honors in the duo interpretation event alongside fellow freshman Jonathan Spence.
Spence claimed sixth in the nation in poetry interpretation and was a semifinalist in dramatic interpretation.
"I have been so impressed by what [our underclassmen] have been able to accomplish this year," Campbell said. "It shows that we are not necessarily a senior-led team. There is really a lot coming up in the next few years for our school to be proud of and for the nation to really enjoy."
Campbell will continue his season this weekend in Norman, Okla., where he has qualified to represent Illinois in the Interstate Oratorical Contest, the oldest public speaking contest in the nation.
With the second-place finish, Bradley defeated a number of nationally recognizable universities such as Northwestern (sixth), Texas (fifth) and Ohio (fourth). Additionally, three of the top-10 finishing teams contain Bradley alumni or former forensics directors as members of their coaching staffs.

Hi there,
When I search for an artist, madsonic shows me the folder names (1st level).
My folders are not tagged artists/album/files style...
I'dd prefer to have madsonic search for the artist names in the id3 tags.
The same problem happens with lastFM scan, madsonic provides the folder names to lastFM service, which results in...Absolutely no results!
Can I do something to get madsonic scan the id3 instead of folder names? thanks !!!

Why do stocks go up?
26 comments:
Does this mean that any company which has a huge amount of cash on their books, such as Microsoft maybe, is a value destroyer? Microsoft has been a tortuous value trap for a long time. Once keeps thinking it is going to break-out but never does. Also, why do certain good companies, like Wal-Mart, have their price tread water for close to 10 years, despite hugely increased profits?
- November 28, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
walmart had high valuations 10 yrs back and implied growth in those valuations never happend. so the company went from a growth stock to a regular to a value stock. its intrinsic value has gone up, but stock price remained stagnant
microsoft has huge cash, but the company has raised dividend and is buying back stock. so it is returning cash to shareholders and re-investing in its own stock. in that sense it is not destroying value. if it did not dividend out or buyback, that would be a bigger issue
- November 28, 2011
Your post got me thinking...
You see, if a business is predictable, an investor can factor in the incremental ROE factor in his DCF calculation. As such, the intrinsic value (i.e. the NPV) he gets will already take the value of growth into account. And if the market is efficient, the shares will be traded at this value. Then, in real term, the share price shouldn't go up at all!! Everything is priced in.
That's counter-intuitive. Is any part of my reasoning wrong?
- November 28, 2011
Hi rohit,
by selecting the companies which have a huge market to capture and have strong moat, isn't the re-investment of profits problem taken care of.
With Hero-Honda its ofcourse a different issue.
- November 28, 2011

Hi Rohit,
Once again an excellent article, very succinctly describing characteristics of value accretive business.
Hindustan Zinc is one such stock that is in my portfolio, where compnay has enjoyed very high ROCE however it is not able to reinvest FCF that it is generating at the same pace hence ROCE/ROE is muted compared to what it could be. They currently carry around 14,000 Cr of cash and generate around 4000 -5000 crores of FCF. It is a debt free company.
Second company is JB chemicals. It is a pharma company and has a decent business. They currently sold their Russian business to Jhonson & Jhonson for 1200 Crores ( 4-5x Sales). they have received cash and have distributed 25 % of the proceeds to shareholders. Theie ROE hovers around 16-18%. Currently it is trading below its NWC. I have done detailed analysis at http://valueinvestinginpractice.blogspot.com/. I would appreciate your views on both the companies.

Are you talking abt "RETURN ON RETAINED EARNINGS"?
- November 28, 2011
- Vic said...
Thanks Rohit for a timely post.
It is easy to get influenced by the stock price in such wild market fluctuations.
Thanks again for emphasizing on what we should focus on instead i.e. the long term value of a business.
- November 28, 2011
Hi Rohit,
thanks for insightful post.
Engineers India appears to be one such company reinvesting at low rate of return. It has 2000 cr of cash in the books as it's consulting business is high margnin, high ROE business throwing cash with moderate growth.
EIL then started EPC business which is low margin, high growth business but still doesn't require 2000 cr cash hoard.
So, now company is investing 1000 cr to revive a fertilizer plant with another PSU as a partner!
Despite strong earnings growth and good orderbook, stock now down 46% from peak till date!
As Munger commented on one of the annual meeting, 'to value Berkshire, apart from estimating FCF in the future one also needs to consider how efficiently that cash would be deployed in the future'.
- November 29, 2011
hi rohit,
i am interested in learning dcf method. you have written about it in your previous posts but i am still not able to understand the concept fully. can you a write on it in detail or suggest any good link?..n also i am not able to see spreadsheets in google group.pls help me for that also.thanks

I believe the process of finding multibaggers misleads most of the ppl in ignoring the value of stock.
Nice article Rohit.

Keeping it very simple & stupid:
ROCE = Using capital efficiently
OPM = better than competition
% payout = management ka dil kitna bada bai :-)
Finally, P/E : When do I buy!
- December 01, 2011
- mukesh said...
1)Regarding OPM or NPM, Sir Philip Fisher has noted a very interesting point in his book. He says that a co's margin should be just slightly above than that of its competitors & should rise slowly with time. Otherwise a very large margin gap would be a honey pot that will attract a lot of competitors in the business.
2) As far as payout is concerned, mgmt should only payout dividends when it thinks it cannot employ cash in the business at existing or higher rates of return. If a business can employ cash internally, then its the best outcome for an owner as demonstrated by Berkshire Hathaway or Bharti Airtel.
"Investing is simple, not easy." - Warren Buffett

Great post!
What you are talking here is economic return which follows business performance.
But another major aspect of any value investment is market value addition, which is an additional reward from the market once the company is recognized. This generally happens when the rest of the market looks at the value in this stock.
I think it is a combination of both these factors that give multi bagger returns. What do you say?
- December 06, 2011
Hi Rohit
I have a question: Which is a better investment - an index mutual fund or ETF? It is much easier to buy ETF but wanted to know your thoughts.
- December 07, 2011
Would you consider LMW as one which is unable to re-invest capital even though returns from the business is good ? In the last 5 years, sales & net earnings have grown 50% but cash has almost doubled.
- December 08, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi john
If we had perfect visibility into the total duration of company's competitive advantage then that would be true.
for ex: if we knew that cocacola can grow and keep its return on capital above the cost for 50 yrs in 1930s , then it was steal at that time. but an individual or market cannot see beyond a few years and hence a DCF makes sense only for a 5-7 years. if the company keeps doing well based on management action, then the intrinsic value goes up
does my argument appear logical ?
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi anon
yes you a right. if you find a company with moat and large market opportunity..this issue is taken care. however in cases the market prices the company to perfection and you really dont have an investment opportunity
the key is to see something where the market cannot
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi dhwanil
i have not seen hindustan zinc ..will look at it. I have looked at JB chemical closely and it is an attractive idea. i dont have a position, but i am tempted
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi killivalan
yes and any debt you take on. a company can take on extra debt to re-invest too
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi vic
good to see you here
Hi ashok
great example ..i know EIL is a good business ..did not realise they have started investing capital in such poor businesses.
another such business is nirma ..they took the capital from FMCG an invested it all over the place. the stock never recovered after that
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi mayur
I use the standard textbook method. I will load the valuations soon on the blog
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi navy
good comment
Hi arun
great comment. very crisp way of putting the entire idea of investing
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi mukesh
you are right in pointing about dividend re-investment. i am generally surprised why investors clamor for dividends from companies which can re-invest capital at high rates of return.
i would want such companies to retain all the profit and invest it at high returns for me. that will save me income tax and also the effort of finding new ideas for the dividend earned
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi anand
true ..at the same time the market does not value a business in lock step with value addition. sometimes the price exceeds the value and vice versa..over the long term if the value is increasing ..so will price
as an investor , i dont know when the market will respond, but i can see if value is being created and hang on to the stock
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi anon
on ETF v/s mutual ..let me give a counter argument.
everyone says ETF is better due to low cost and because it trades as a stock
i would say mutuals inspite of higher cost ..for one reason - you set an SIP and be done with it. that takes emotions out of the picture. if you could set an SIP plan with an ETF ..then the ETF is great
- December 09, 2011
- Rohit Chauhan said...
Hi gopal
LMW is a little bit more nuanced. they earn very high return on capital ..their capital employed is close to 0 as they get additional cash through customer advances.
they have bought back stock ..which i think is good usage of excess capital and have decent dividend payout too
- December 09, 2011

The Giant Indian Mound Builders of Erie
Sometimes while doing research you find a little tidbit that throws you off topic and down a path you never though you would find yourself wandering on. While investigating the topic of lost graveyards in Erie I stumbled upon this curiosity:
"…when the roadway of the Philadelphia & Erie road, where it passes through the Warfel farm, was being widened, another deposit of bones was dug up and summarily deposed of as before (Thrown in a neighboring ditch). Among the skeletons was one of a giant, side by side with a smaller one, probably that of his wife. The arm and leg bones of this native American Goliath were about one-half longer than those of the tallest man among the laborers; the skull was immensely large; the lower jawbone easily slipped over the face and whiskers of a full faced man, and the teeth were in a perfect state of preservation. Another skeleton was dug up in Conneaut Township a few years ago which was quite as remarkable in its dimensions. As in the other instance, a comparison was made with the largest man in the neighborhood , and the jawbone readily covered his face, while the lower bone of the leg was nearly a foot longer than the one with which it was measured, indicating that the man must have been eight to ten feet in height. The bones of a flathead were turned up in the same township some two years ago with a skull of unusual size. Relics of a former time have been gathered in that section by the pailful, and among other curiosities a brass watch was found that was as big as a common saucer.
An ancient graveyard was discovered in 1820, on the land now known as Dr. Carter and Dr. Dickinson places in Erie, which created quite a sensation at the time. Dr. Albert Thayer dug up some of the bones, and all indicated a race of beings of immense size." (History of Erie County Volume 1; Warner, Beers and Co., 1884, pp. 166-169)
For more see the article see my new book "Eerie Erie:Tales of the Unexplained from Northwestern Pennsylvania" due in August 2011!

I doubt they would have been in Erie, but apparently the Susquehannock Indians were often quite tall - pretty darn tall by today's standards (6-7 feet oftentimes), and a veritable giant at the time.
- July 6, 2010 at 3:26 PM
When Panfilo de Narvaez encountered the Apalachee people in 1528, he wrote that they "loomed big and naked, and from a distance looked like giants. They were handsomely proportioned, lean, agile, and strong." My late grandmother told me that bones had been found in the area that showed that the Apalachee people had in fact been exceptionally tall by any modern standards.

Great verification of the truth about Giants! Of course anyone remembering the book of Genesis and the book of Enoch know that fallen angels had offspring with earth women that were Giants. The Nephilim indeed.Thanks for this very interesting information Pastor Swope, and for more info on Giants all around the world read up here :http://www.mysteriousworld.com/Journal/2003/Summer/Giants

September 15, 2008
Welcome soon-to-be-graduated Wabash men of the class of 2008. It's good to see you this morning.
The Dean's breakfast for seniors on commencement weekend has been a Wabash College tradition extending over many decades and deanships. Deans Trippet, Rogge, Shearer, Traina, Powell, McKinney, Herring, Ditzler, and Williams before me have used this occasion to speak with graduating seniors about a range of topics connecting the liberal arts to the Wabash and world of their day.
Such moments of reflection are Janus-like, a looking backward into Wabash's past and forward to an indeterminate future; they are efforts to make connections with your experience past and future. The contradictory, two-faced Janus was the celebrated Roman god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings. How fitting, then, that on a weekend of endings and beginnings we invoke this ancient god's name. Where but on a liberal arts college campus, at Wabash College, would you find a dean speaking with students at an ungodly hour on a Saturday morning about a classical deity? How unconventional? How Liberal arts! How Wabash!
Now you may be wondering why the musical overture? What does Queen's 1977 hit "We Will Rock You" have to do with beginnings and endings, the liberal arts and Wabash? Six degrees of separation is my answer, as I hope to explain. But first a definition. "Six degrees of separation" is the concept that anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person by means of a chain of acquaintances through no more than five intermediaries.
Some attribute the notion to Hungarian short story writer Frigyes Karinthy; others to radio pioneer Marconi who sought to calculate the number of radio relay stations needed to blanket the globe. (He came up with an average of 5.83. I don't know if he could have anticipated the number of rock and roll stations that now populate the airwaves!). But it was the American playwright John Guare who would eventually popularize the expression by rounding up Marconi's 5.83 to 6. For my purposes this morning, I want to use the notion to suggest something important about the liberal arts by tying together a series of ideas that connect you to Wabash to the liberal arts to the past to the present. An important outcome of liberal arts education is to foster serendipitous connections among ideas and people. Let's see if we can follow that path.
We begin with Janus, the ancient god of beginnings and ends. The conventional assumption that Dean's before me have operated with and one I share is that the Wabash liberal arts education you have received equips you for lives of promise: in graduate school or medical school, business or finance or non-profits, the military or the ministry, the classroom or the courtroom, as parents or politicians. Four years of engagement and hard work will open doors to a career or to some other challenge, equip you to make a living, a life, perhaps a name for yourself; your time spent at Wabash equally serves as a gateway to something more, something better, a life of service and fidelity to community and country. This was in part the dream that inspired Wabash's founders when they invoked the name of the Christian God Jehovah as they knelt in snow to pray on that auspicious November day 175 years ago. As the founding documents state, their goal was to erect a classical English school rising up to become a college in response to the needs of the nation, to educate a cohort of preachers and teachers to serve the nation.
Religion was never very far from their mind.
The College's founders saw no contradiction in rightly praying to the god of Christian faith and tradition and rigorously studying the classical gods of the Roman and Greek pantheons. For the founders, the study of the liberal arts did not pit faith against knowledge, Christianity against the classics; the relationship was not dichotomous or competitive with winner take all. On the contrary. They were two sides of a common curricular coin. In his inaugural address on July 13, 1836, Elihu Baldwin, Wabash's first president—you may have seen his portrait hanging in President White's office—commented upon the disparaging attitude some had taken toward classical studies, which included substituting Scripture for the study of what today we call secular classical texts:
We are told that many things embraced in the ordinary course are of little or no value to the student. The Greek and Latin languages in particular have fallen under the ban of proscription as not only useless but positively destructive to the principles and morals of youth. And some who do not go the entire length of discarding the study of these languages prefer teaching it principally with the inferior aid of Christian authors. In the mean time a sufficient substitute, it is supposed, has been found in the inspired scriptures considered as a classic….We are not so well persuaded that it comports with their character and high design to use them [Christian Scriptures] merely as a classic; and still less as a substitute for the elegant composition of Greek and Roman authors."
In other words, Wabash's founders did not confuse or substitute sacred for secular texts; to believe in Jehovah was not at odds with being informed about Janus. We might extrapolate that for Christians—the default religious perspective of President Baldwin's day—it is vital to learn about religions and cultures other than your own, to make connections between diverse world views and experiences, and to grasp the fluid domains of the sacred and the secular. In a world of religious prejudice and hostility, Wabash's prescient founders imagined that to be a liberally educated Christian there can be no alternative to a critical engagement with religion. It is the liberal arts way, the Wabash way. From Janus to Jehovah, one degree of separation.
The importance of critical thinking has not slackened at all in the 175 years since our College's founding. You know well our one-sentence creedal statement: "Wabash College educates men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely." "To think critically" is the first in the holy quadrinity of verbs—to think, act, lead, and live. It's not just any kind of thinking, but a thinking characterized as "critical." The etymology of the adjective "critical" is instructive. Derived from the Greek verb "krinein," meaning to divide, separate, take apart, discern, or judge, "critical" today often connotes something negative, as in "he's critical of my musical tastes." Perhaps you don't care for Queen or rock and roll. That's fine. But not liking is not the same as having a critical take on music or anything else. The root sense of critical conveys the quintessential characteristic of the Wabash teaching and learning experience: to take an argument or position apart, to discern what the evidence for and against it is, to judge what holds together well or not. From the College's beginning to today we find an enduring commitment to a thinking that exercises judgment. In the beginning of the mission statement, at the heart of what we do here, was the verb, to judge. From Janus to Jehovah to judging, two degrees of separation.
"In the beginning of the mission statement was the verb." You may hear echoes of another beginning, a Gospel beginning: "In the beginning was the word," or so goes the opening lines of John's Gospel. For those of you who have studied John's text critically, you will know that the Fourth Evangelist renders a story about Jesus' cosmic beginning which he lifts from the opening lines of the Jewish scripture's first book, Genesis, and weaves together with the poetic elements of a Gnostic hymn of creation. Looking Janus-like back to the beginning of time and forward to the world's ending, the Fourth Evangelist offers a medley of metaphors that for two millennia have become the standard poetic fare for characterizing Jesus. You may recognize some of these: he is the way, the truth, the life, the vine, the bread, the shepherd, the good life, the door. Jesus is the door (Jn 10:7). It is a quick metaphorical slide from Jesus, God as door to Janus, god of doors. The metaphor of the door enables us to forge a connection then between Genesis and John, Judaism and Gnosticism, words and worlds; it swings gate-like, backward and forward, opening and closing, inviting and challenging connections. A good liberal arts education equips you to think metaphorically, to connect one thing with another, to discover likenesses and differences, to discern degrees of separation, to link disparate ideas and parts, to see connections where none existed before, to give sight to the blind, to put it in miracle terms. Much hinges, however, upon the critical capacity to understand language and texts and cultures. That understanding does not come simply from grammatical or historical analysis but with a living with language and texts. President Baldwin knew this when he advocated Latin and Greek language and theological study. From Janus to Jehovah to judgment to John's gospel, three degrees of separation. I know you are still wondering about Queen and how that connects to anything. Be patient. We will soon be coming to that.
The Fourth Evangel invites me to think back to the four-fold mission statement. Critical thinking leads the list of verbs; it enjoys top billing. It is of the first order as it is the first in order. But I want to make a slightly biblical turn and make the first last and the last first by focusing upon "living humanely," the final element of the statement, which I now want to consider as the opener. Even at unconventional Wabash, one of the our culturally conventional ways of understanding "humane living" is to think about living, about life, as something we possess, exercise control over, and seek to modify in various ways, as if it were a natural resource to be exploited. In grammatical terms we tend to treat "living humanely" more as a noun than to honor its verbal nature and form as a gerund. This is not peculiar to Wabash. In the West generally we are habituated to view life as a thing we fabricate or fashion. You hear echoes of this deep bias in the various things we say we make: grades, a team, a name for ourselves; a life for ourselves, a career, partner, friends, money, sense (the non-monetary kind), even love. This attitude pervades our truisms and common sense: For example, "in this world, life is what you make of it." Or: "One makes one's bed and lies in it".
Lying beneath such phrases and idiomatic expressions is a particular way of understanding the human self in the world as an independent agent who charts a path, as if life were a vehicle that transports us or an object we direct or manipulate, and we were its driver. But some of our most central, mundane, quotidian experiences suggest a different way to grasp our selves in the world in which where we are not first and foremost directing the show of life. From this perspective, the world is not just something we make but is what we receive. Think for a moment about language and your capacity to speak and think your native language. When did you decide as an infant to learn English or Spanish or Chinese? Can you pinpoint that moment? Hardly. You didn't choose English; it was given to you to learn. To put it even more oddly, you might say it chose you. You were chosen. Just as you were chosen to come to Wabash. I can hear some objecting that indeed we do chose to learn another language. The is true, but true in a misleading sense. As the Mission Statement reveals in the very way it is put together, we are habituated to think that thinking comes first: I chose to be a Spanish major; I made it happen. And living in the language follows as a consequence. We are reminded of important philosophers who have guided us to think in these terms. Descartes for one and his trinitarian dictum "Cogito, ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). Before the thinking, before the verb, the "I" enjoys a privileged place, both in Descartes sentence structure and in his sense of living humanely in the world. But in reality your first language was given to you to speak; you didn't think to choose it. The thinking didn't lead, the living did. The same applies, of course, to other realities: your family, you, your religion, your cultural values.
Instead of reading the mission sentence left to right we should in good Jewish fashion read it right to left: living humanely a leading effectively the responsible action of thinking critically. Not as elegant as the accustomed reverse order. But attempting to rephrase it this way may help us is see that life is not what you have or what you think it to be but who you are and how you live. It is not reducible to what you make of it but is what comes to expression through your actions, including your thinking to be sure; but your thinking is only one aspect and not always the most determining feature of liberal arts living. The author and activist Parker Palmer has written a little book about vocation or calling with the slightly odd sounding title, "Let your Life speak." Palmer employs this Quaker expression to make the point, in our terms, that living humanely leads the way. Life is a listening and a calling, once again those gerunds. Those of you familiar with Quaker practice and thought will appreciate the importance of listening before speaking, of living in silence together before thinking an answer to a question. At Wabash we pride ourselves in the emphasis we place upon reading and writing, computing and speaking effectively, and rightly so. These are vitally important liberal arts thinking skills. But they are more than skills or techniques; they are living practices that speak our humanity. Hear me right. I am not suggesting for a second that thinking is secondary; I'm arguing for letting the living have its due, equal billing for a change, to find the degrees of separation that tie thinking and living, to read the mission statement all the way through from beginning to end, backwards and forward, Janus-like, as a single, coherent statement, palindromically. So once again here is my way of doing that, reading right to left, connecting the first with the last, the living with the thinking:
Wabash educates men about living humanely a leading effectively the responsible action of thinking critically.
A mouthful and a mindful!
And in terms of those liberal critical skills now reframed not as assertions, but as imperatives:
Wabash has prepared you to read, so now let your life be read by others;
Wabash has taught you quantitative reasoning, so now to let your life add up to something more than yourself;
Wabash has proudly taught you how to be articulate, so let your life speak.
Let your liberal arts living speak.
The last will be first. From Janus to Jehovah to judgment to John to the Quakers, four degrees of separation
Parker Palmer's brief reflection vocation calls to mind Herman Hesse's lyrical description of the life experience of Siddhartha. If you have not read Hesse's novel you should; it is a text well worth exploring. Born into the Hindu priestly caste, dissatisfied with what he knows about life, and impatient to learn more, Siddhartha leaves home and a life of comfort to seek personal transformation by attaining Nirvana or enlightenment. Through a series of interactions with ascetic monks who show him life lived with less, a courtesan who teaches him the arts of love, a business man who educates him in the practices of money and career making, and a ferryman who employs him as an apprentice to transport people across a vast river, Siddhartha comes increasing to understand truth is not first about words or concepts but about lived experience, that enlightenment constitutes going beyond words and ideas. Living leads the way. Along the way Siddhartha and his boyhood companion Govinda encounter Gotama Buddha, who exemplifies the life lived free of the entanglements of ideas, of pleasure, of pain of sorrow. Govinda is called to follow the Buddha while Siddhartha continues to press forward on his own terms for answers. Siddhartha eventually discovers he has fathered a son who rejects him just as he has rejected the ways of his own father. Despairing of life, Siddhartha sets about to kill himself along the river's edge only to awaken from the failed attempt to discover before him the face of his beloved Govinda. In that moment Siddhartha grasps the potency of love, of fraternity, of the connectedness of all things, of the inadequacy of concepts—of thinking—to communicate what is of first importance. He realizes the continuity and connection between all of living, the six degrees of separation that binds all of existence together. Govinda, however, has not reached this conclusion. He says:
"Siddhartha, we are now old men. We may never see each other in this life. I can see, my dear friend that you have found peace. I realize that I have not found it. Tell me one word, my esteemed friend, tell me something that I can conceive, something I can understand! Give me something to help me on my way, Siddhartha. My path is hard and dark."….
Smiling the smile of unity of the Buddha himself, Siddhartha comforts his friend by inviting him to kiss him. "Bend near to me," Siddhartha says. "Kiss me on the forehead, Govinda."
Although surprised, Govinda was compelled to a great love and presentiment to obey him; he leaned close to him and touched his forehead with his lips. As he did this, something wonderful happened to him. While he was still dwelling on Siddhartha's strange words, while he strove in vain to dispel the conception of time, to imagine Nirvana and Samsara as one… this happened to him.
He no longer saw the face of his friend Siddhartha. Instead he saw other faces, many other faces, a long series, a continuous stream of faces—hundreds, thousands, which all came and disappeared and yet all seemed to be there at the same time, which all continually changed and renewed themselves and which were yet all Siddhartha. He saw the face of a fish, of a carp with tremendous painfully open mouth, a dying fish with dimmed eyes, He saw the face of a newly born child, red and full of wrinkles, ready to cry. He saw the face of a murderer. …He saw the naked bodies of men and women in the postures and transports of passionate love…He saw the heads of dead animals…. He saw Krishna and Agni. He saw all these forms and faces in a thousand relationships to each other, all helping each other, loving, hating and destroying each other and become newly born. Each one was mortal, a passionate, painful example of all that is transitory. Yet none of them died, they only changed, were always reborn, continually had a new face.
Siddhartha's life spoke to Govinda. Govinda understood his calling, delivered through a kiss. In the unity of one thing with another, life with death, love with hate, pain with pleasure, child with adult, the gods with humanity, the river with the land, Govinda understood his mission in life, living humanely in a Buddhist way meant. This kiss, this love, this way, this truth, this life sends us back once more to the gospel story, although John's gospel, unlike his fraternity brothers Matthew, Mark and Luke, lacks the Judas kiss that preceded Jesus's death at the hands of Roman soldiers. Roman Janus to Christian Jehovah to good judgment to John's Gospel to Quaker practice to Siddhartha's Buddha-like kiss, five degrees of separation.
The liberal arts, the living humanely arts, the living free arts call for each of us to make connections, to discover the unity and coherence of life, to construct meaning where none may be apparent, to bring your Wabash education to bear upon the world and make sense of it, and to make it better, and equally to remain open to being presented with sense, the presentiment of the face of another. Liberal arts living calls for you to forge the connections that tie together novel and gospel, grammar and theology, religion and rivers, classics and critical thinking, calling and thinking, listening and lyrics, music and metaphor. Liberal arts living calls for you to be surprised by sense that comes to you out of the blue like a gift, like the presence of your Wabash brothers, your teachers who have held you to standards, your family who have sacrificed for you to be here. President Baldwin may have not known Marconi or Hesse or Parker or Queen or much about Hinduism or Buddhism or Quakerism but he surely understood the power of liberal arts living and what a Wabash education could do to teach young men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively and live humanely. In my mind's eye, I imagine a Siddhartha-like smile on his face as he contemplates what you have done and what you Wabash men are called to do.
And finally, as promised, the connection to Queen. Written by Brian May and first released in 1977 as single—"We Will Rock You." was the A side to "We are the Champions," its B side. I remember first hearing this song as a graduate student at Vanderbilt. It started off with a slower tempo than what we heard this morning and moved after about a minute though a crescendo to a guitar explosion. Freddie Mercury then recited about a 20 second passage from Hesse's Siddhartha, followed thereupon by the fast version of the opening track that lasted nearly three minutes. I don't know if May or Mercury intended this song to be a musical meditation on Siddhartha's journey, but I have come to understood it as such. The connection is reinforced whenever I hear the music played (ironically, I might add) at sporting events, a synapse firing that I can't control, a world of the past forever linked to my present wherever I find myself, and now a connection to you. Maybe for you, too, it will be the case that Queen and Siddhartha will be remembered together. Listen to May's lyrics with Hesse's character in mind:
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playing in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on your face
You big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place
We will rock you
Buddy you're a young man, hard man
Shouting in the street gonna take on the world some day
Blood on your face
Big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place
Sing it
We will, we will, rock
Buddy you're an old man, poor man
Pleading with your eyes gonna make you some peace some day
Mud on your face
Big disgrace
Somebody better put you back into your place
Oh, rock you
Do you hear in your minds eye a world in which boys grow up to become men, a path that takes them from mud to blood to mud, the life circle from dust to dust; a living that begins with playing proceeds to shouting that leads to pleading, a path from childhood to adulthood through to old age, an ethics of a world of violence that leads to peace, of finding your place? Is your understanding rock solid, or has your perception, like Govinda's, been rocked by the presentiment of face, of a musical and literary connection that invites seeing and living differently? Now you know why I forever associate Siddhartha with Queen.
From classical god to classic rock. From Janus to Jehovah to judgment to John to the Quakers to Siddhartha to Queen, six degrees of liberal arts separation.

text: Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-88) was an aggressive Union general during the American Civil War (1861-65). He demonstrated his capacity for command during assignments on the U.S. frontier and in early Civil War operations. When General Ulysses S. Grant assumed command of all Union armies in early 1864, he chose Sheridan as his new cavalry commander. Sheridan's successful Shenandoah Valley Campaign in 1864 crushed Confederate General Jubal Early's cavalry while destroying much of the South's food supply. Sheridan was instrumental in General Robert E. Lee's withdrawal from Petersburg, Virginia, after which Lee would soon surrender to Grant in April 1865 and effectively end the war.

Kenny Mansally's game-winning performance was made possible by some solid defensive work
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Second-half substitute Kenny Mansally will undoubtedly steal the headlines on a night when his two-goal performance lifted the New England Revolution to a 2-0 victory over heated rival D.C. United at RFK Stadium, and deservedly so.
But perhaps lost in the background of Mansally's double was the steady work of the Revolution's backline, which limited D.C. to a series of half-chances and earned its first shutout of the 2010 season.
With a clean sheet against United on Saturday night, the Revs now haven't conceded a goal since the sixth minute of last weekend's season opener against the LA Galaxy, while they've yet to allow a goal from the run of play this season. Combined, the backline of Kevin Alston, Emmanuel Osei, Cory Gibbs and Seth Sinovic – along with goalkeeper Preston Burpo – has gone 174 consecutive minutes without allowing a goal.
"I don't think anyone was questioning how good our defense was going to be this year," said Pat Phelan, who locked down the central midfield alongside Joseph Niouky on Saturday night. "Whoever is in there – we've got some veteran guys, some younger athletic guys – they're a great group. I think [defense] is going to be the strength of our team."
That certainly looked to be the case against United, as the Revolution allowed D.C. to register just three shots on goal. Of those, only one shot truly tested Burpo, who made a fantastic kick save on Santino Quaranta's 14th-minute free kick.
According to Burpo – who earned his first shutout since Sept. 26, 2009, when he was with Colorado – credit must be given to the group in front of him for limiting United's opportunities.
"I don't think they got too many clear-cut chances – a couple of free kicks" he said. "Give credit to the guys in front of me, that's for sure."
Head coach Steve Nicol was similarly pleased with his team's defensive performance, as the club largely limited the opportunities for the dangerous forward combo of Jaime Moreno – an historical Rev-killer – and Chris Pontius.
As Nicol pointed out, a defense has to be considered to be doing its job when it doesn't allow clear-cut scoring chances.
"I don't remember a chance they had where you're thinking they should've scored," he said. "It was all challenges and bits and bobs, so from that point of view, we were great defensively."
Admittedly, the Revs were on their heels early for the second straight week, conceding much of the possession to D.C. the same way they did to the LA Galaxy in the season opener last weekend. But while they allowed an early goal to the Galaxy, the Revs held firm against United and grew steadier and more confident as the game wore on.
"We need to start games off better, but overall it was good," said Cory Gibbs, who has captained the Revolution in the first two games of the season while playing central defense. "Mostly I'm excited about the clean sheet. I'm proud of the defense and our team shape."
Phelan agreed with Gibbs' assessment, almost matching his evaluation word-for-word.
"We weathered the storm for a little bit when we needed to," he said. "I thought our defensive shape was pretty good."
A bit of those early jitters can be contributed to the Revolution's youth, combined with the fact that two of the main cogs in the defense – center back Gibbs and goalkeeper Burpo – were just acquired this past offseason. Along with rookie left back Sinovic, three of the five defensive players on the field were new to the team, with Alston and Osei representing the only returnees.
Now with last year's rookie revelation, Darrius Barnes, returning to health – enough so that he made a late substitute appearance against United – Nicol will have a personnel decision to make next week against Toronto FC.
But considering how well the defensive corps has played thus far, it's a safe bet that the Revs will be solid in the back no matter who is on the field.
And according to Alston, the performances will only improve with time.
"It's progressively getting better," he said of the team's defensive play. "I think we're just starting to figure out each other's tendencies and play more as a team."

I'm doing the tutorials from opengl-tutorial.org
On tutorial 4 it asked to do 2 models to show at the sime time on window. It said that just need to do the same thing that is done with the cube.
So I've maintain the shadders and the "MP" from "MPV" and did another triangle, just by typing:
Code cpp:mat4 triangle_Model = mat4(1.0f); mat4 triangle_MPV = Projection * View * triangle_Model; GLuint triangle_MatrixID = glGetUniformLocation(programID, "MPV"); glUniformMatrix4fv(triangle_MatrixID, 1, GL_FALSE, &triangle_MPV[0][0]); //ProgamID is the same of the cube. I've tried to separate; but, still, doesn't worked static const GLfloat triangle_buffer_data[] = { -2.0f, -3.0f, 1.0f, 2.0f, -3.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f, 3.0f,-1.0f }; GLuint triangle_vertexbuffer; glGenBuffers(1, &triangle_vertexbuffer); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, triangle_vertexbuffer); glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, sizeof(triangle_buffer_data), triangle_buffer_data, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
and at the main loop:
Code cpp:glEnableVertexAttribArray(2); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, triangle_vertexbuffer); glVertexAttribPointer( 2, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, 0, (void*)0 ); glUniformMatrix4fv(triangle_MatrixID, 1 ,GL_FALSE, &triangle_MPV[0][0]);
But the triangle doesn't appear. I've disabled the cube to see if it works, changed camera and everything.
Can anyone help-me, please?
PS1: same shadders as the tutorial ones.
PS2: Sorry for my english, I'm from Brazil and speaks portuguese (we do not speak "brazilian" or spanish as some people from outside that I spook thought xD)

New songs, new movies, new devices, new connections!
While USB Type-A and Type-B connectors prevail, the new USB Type-C connector has been released to gradually replace the others. In addition to the capabilities of power charging at up to 100 watts and video output (HDMI/ VGA/ DisplayPort), USB Type-C possesses two other features that differentiate it from USB Type-A and Type-B connectors.
Orientation and flexibility. First, USB Type-A and Type-B are non-reversible, meaning time wasted ensuring a correct plug-in. Second, they cannot be used across multiple platforms. But that's all changing, with the future-proof Type C standard marching toward ubiquity.
It's worth addressing the difference between USB interface standards and connector shape. USB connectors, regardless of type, can run with different USB interfaces, so you will see, for example, a USB Type-A cable running at USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 speeds.
A reminder: USB 3.0 can reach its full speed potential only if your device supports USB 3.0.

It is interesting that Chapa (see previous post) supports Stirewalt's view, that Paul's letters were 'official letters in a loose sense' (pp. 651-2). He makes a number of points on this:
- although occasional, Paul's letters are not private, but are rather public: 'a kind of public document'
- Paul has an 'authoritative position in relation to the recipients'
- The mention of co-authors and so-senders bestows an official character.
- The letters would probably have been received as official letters.
