Marvel released a big Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl trailer during the big game, offering a brand new look at the biggest Marvel Studios movie ever made. In the upcoming sequel, Thanos (Josh Brolin) is on the hunt for the Infinity Stones that, when collected and placed in the Infinity Gauntlet, will give him the power to reshape reality and destroy the universe. The only ones who can stop him are the superheroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Plot details on the upcoming sequel have been scarce, but directors Joe and Anthony Russo's upcoming film will attempt to start weaving together all three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Earth-bound Avengers will interact with cosmic characters like the Guardians of the Galaxy. It's the most ambitious movie Marvel has ever attempted, but fans are ready to see their favorite characters finally interact and the culmination of all three phases come to the big screen.
What's interesting is that back when Marvel Studios was about to release its first movie, Iron Man, they released a spot during the Super Bowl that put a lot of eyeballs on what, quite frankly, was a nothing character to most people. That was back when Marvel movies were still being distributed by Paramount Pictures, and that Super Bowl spot put Robert Downey Jr.'s quick-witted Tony Stark on a lot of people's radars for the first time.
This spot is short and to the point—here's a movie with every single Marvel character ever, fighting together in one giant spectacle. That's a solid gameplan for this particular launching pad, where some folks watching the game may have only seen a couple of Marvel movies and may not be entirely caught up on what Infinity War is. But this spot will definitely catch their interest.
Check out the Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl trailer below and click here for our roundup of all the Super Bowl trailers that have been released. Scripted by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (Captain America: Civil War), the film opens May 4th, and also stars Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Don Cheadle, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Rudd, and Tom Hiddleston.

Stephanie–the Way of the Bodhisattva**
On Sunday, my dear friend Stephanie left her body after a lifetime of illness and activism. She developed a worldwide network to support people with PJS, or Peutz–jeghers syndrome, a genetic birth anomaly that often leads to cancer.
Stephanie was an AIDS and cancer activist, a natural death proponent, and an educator, encouraging living life to the fullest, no matter one's circumstances or longevity.
Stephanie reached out to me more than a year ago after reading all the archives of my blog, no small feat. Stephanie heard deeply the themes in my essays. She recommended readings including academic papers to support my theories. Stephanie met me where I was and this is one of her many gifts to humanity.*
Three days before Stephanie left her body, she wrote to me, "I love this time of grace when I turn from this world toward a bigger world where I live now. I am giving up my computer to move toward God and moving closer toward the door called death."
Stephanie said goodbye and encouraged me to shift my attention when I am ready to make this journey. Always the teacher, always the lover of life.
We connected in our love of life and of helping humanity in whatever way we could. We recognized kindred spirits and we were amazed at the depth of love we shared in this unconventional, cyber way.
Godspeed, Stephanie and I will see you in a flash.
* If you would like hear an audio interview of Stephanie, http://tns.commonweal.org/podcasts/stephanie-sugars/#.WDRk66PMyYU
**She has carried many and now she is being carried. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzPTHstpJ2I
Here is a video made by Stephanie's friends: https://youtu.be/JaaNVKIsffQf
"I admire that you are not willing to sacrifice life, for survival." – Harald Kasper, physical therapist
When I was two years old, I was standing in the front bench seat of our 1955 automobile when we ran into another car. My mother broke her pelvis, walked around to be sure all the children were safe, sat down and could not stand up. There were no seatbelts those days and there wasn't yet an awareness of the lethality of motor vehicle accidents. As we integrated automobiles into our culture, the need for safety came to the forefront. During my generation, car seats for children became a necessary commodity. Some people wore their seatbelts and others did not. It was a choice, until it was not. When people were sustaining injuries and dying, wearing a seatbelt became law. Some laws evolve with the technology and some laws become obsolete as the culture evolves.
Recently, I have been criticize for choosing a lifestyle that is unconventional for someone as disabled as I am. After all, I cannot move a muscle from the neck down. I am completely dependent on my care team for every bodily function, except breathing. And I live in a remote mountain town that is considered the frontier, not even rural, which would have more medical services.
I have always lived on the edge of this paradigm we call life, but it has never been as obvious as now when I am breaking all the rules of what one should do when one is critically ill. From pushing my limits as an adolescent to riding my motorcycle to Key West during college (yes, I wore a helmet with a visor!) I have always pushed people who love me to their edge of reasoning, past their comfort zone. I don't mean to sound cavalier about this at all. A lot of me wants to stay safe in the old, familiar ways of living life. I have to trudge through a lot of difficult feelings to summon the courage of forging new ground.
First, I have to feel the uneasiness of moving forward from a place I could call familiar, but as I've become more sensitive, I notice and incongruence. When I think of taking an an alternate route that feels more authentic, I have to wade through the density of darkness. When I dissect this darkness, it not only includes my own remnants of self-hatred, but also ways I've absorbed other people's fear of the unknown. For me, fear is always a catalyst for entering this level of blackness. Being able to bear the pain at this level of malignant, self-hatred and, instead of retracting, going one step further and creating expansiveness around it allows the blackness to begin to lighten. Peering into the light, I can see the anatomy of this old, familiar feelings of unworthiness. Memories of all the times I've betrayed myself from deferring to other people's truth. In deeper exploration, I was able to see the many times I was willing to sacrifice my life for mere survival, which translated into sacrificing my significant need for autonomy for either of two reasons: to avoid feeling my greatest fear – being alone and helpless or to alleviate other people's pain. Although the former is more conscious, the latter might seem noble, but, believe me, it is more insidious.
So, yes, I am on the leading edge of the natural death movement, something I hope will lead to "a good death," not unlike the natural childbirths so inspiring in our area. And yes, it does push the old boundaries of the medical model, making people fearful of the issues like liability . I followed the medical model with my childbirths and I had two cesareans and general anesthesia. As many of you know about me, I don't want to be fearful in this new birth.
I have always taken myself to the edge and rallied the resources to push a little further, so it would make sense that I would do that with others, especially being in the capacity of psychotherapist. My astrological natal chart reflects one of a powerful revolutionary with heart. It is ironic that when I cannot move a finger, I am still projecting that energetic essence. My daughter once told me that I go to places that scare her and show her that it is safe. During this time when people are creating a new paradigm for living and dying, it's important to illuminate and dismantle that which keeps us from our birthright, living life and death fully and authentically.

When patients come to us for spine surgery in Kansas City, they often come because of chronic low back pain, limb weakness, nerve pressure, aching lumbar discs, a weakened spine, or improper alignment. In fact, studies have found that more than 80% of Americans will experience low back pain at some point in their lives, and many Americans live with chronic back pain that can affect not only their day-to-day life but also their overall health. Not all back pain is created equal, but disc replacement surgery may be right for you if your lower back pain has resisted other methods of treatment or led to a weakened or misaligned spine or pressure on your nerves.
Ultimately, there's no reason to live with chronic pain or discomfort when relief is available. If non-invasive therapies have proven ineffective against back pain, then spine surgery may be the answer. Artificial disc replacement surgery is a common type of spinal surgery that can alleviate many symptoms and help to treat chronic pain and damaged spines. While spine surgery is always a delicate process, disc replacement surgery isn't really all that different from other surgeries that have been successfully performed for decades such as artificial hip, knee, and shoulder joint replacements.
How does disc replacement surgery work? Spine surgeries can be performed in minimally invasive ways using the latest surgical techniques requiring only very small incisions. In fact, Dr. William Reed, Jr. of Blue Valley Surgical Associates is among the top spine surgeons in the US performing artificial disc replacements, in both volume and outcomes. By perfecting the techniques of disc replacement and spine surgery, the spine surgery team at Blue Valley can help patients recover more quickly, and with less discomfort and less visible scarring.
Using a small incision, surgeons can remove a painful or damaged disc and replace it with an artificial prosthetic implant. The implant takes the place of the removed disc and works in much the same way, but without the pain, misalignment, or other problems that can accompany damaged or inflamed discs. Besides treating chronic pain, spine surgery in Kansas City can help to increase a patient's range of motion and allow them to enjoy life again. Chronic pain takes a heavy toll, and an injured spine can make it difficult to exercise, work around the house, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy many other daily activities. Those who suffer from chronic back pain are often forced to rely heavily on medications and find it difficult to go to work. In fact, low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. With proper care from the spine surgery specialists at Blue Valley Surgical Associates, patients can reduce or eliminate back pain while also regaining their quality of life.
If you're suffering from back pain and have attempted non-invasive therapies, spine surgery may be the solution that you've been looking for. To learn more or schedule an appointment, visit our website or call 913-378-1365.Share

- Van Zandt | And one more favorite of ours! This preset is versatile enough to work for indoor and outdoor images and provides a color change that leaves your clients swooning over the tones.

RDA County Training Day at Avon Riding Centre on Monday 25th January with Joanna and Roger Day
Joanna and Roger are enthusiastic supporters of RDA worldwide. They are also the proud breeders of famous eventer Primmore's Pride, ridden by Pippa Funnell to win a silver medal at 2004 Olympics Athens.
Roger was British Eventing regional director and an FEI chief steward for many years. Joanna developed the effective training strategies shown in their training book The Fearless Horse, a copy of which they have donated to each of the Groups for future reference.
Both are much respected teachers and horse trainers with a huge breadth and depth of knowledge. They came to offer some of that knowledge to just over forty volunteers who came along, representing all four RDA Groups in our North Somerset and Bristol County.
Gill Edwards and Kim Langbridge from Avon and Anne Allen from Wellow supported them in the practical demonstrations. These involved correct handling in the stable to establish control of your horse, managing the approach to the mounting block and mounting riders whilst the horse stands calm and still. Keeping a good distance from your horse's head whilst leading and always keeping your concentration and focus on your horse to be aware of how he is reacting at all times.
There was a lot of very positive feedback from everyone at the end of the morning and Joanna has promised that they will return in future to help us again.

Salted caramel – nectar of the gods! I rarely make it, because when I do, it takes every ounce of my will power (and I don't have a lot to begin with) to not eat the whole pot within a day or two! It goes with pretty much most desserts, whether it's drizzled over ice cream, apple tart, chocolate cake, sticky toffee pudding… the list goes on and on. Just please don't blame me if you make it and it never meets any dessert and instead goes straight onto a spoon and into your mouth!
It's pretty easy to make, but there are two main pitfalls that can ruin the caramel. The first one is easy to avoid – crystallisation of the sugar. Simply don't stir the sugar/water mixture once you put it on the heat. If a cold spoon goes into the hot liquid, the sugar will seize and instantly crystallise. If you really think it needs a stir, just swirl the pot itself.
The second pitfall is taking the caramelisation process a little too far, resulting in a burnt caramel. Now some people actually love this, and will burn the sugar on purpose, but I don't personally like it really dark. If you don't want the burnt taste, take the sugar off the heat when it's still more of a yellow/straw colour. The more amber the colour turns, the darker the caramel will be, and the more likely it is to teeter into burnt teritory. Another thing to remember is that the caramel will continue to cook when you take it off the heat, so be sure to have your butter and cream ready, and add them asap to stop it cooking further.
Finally, a small word of warning – boiling sugar is god damn hot! It's a hell of a lot hotter than boiling water, and the temperature increases as the colour darkens. Be so so careful not to stick your finger in or splash any of it on you. Take care when adding the butter and cream as it will sputter for a few seconds.
Despite the pitfalls and the risk of burning, it is very easy to get right! The salted caramel is so rich and delicious, and really raises the stakes when making desserts. So don't be afraid, and give it a lash!
Salted Caramel
- 150 g sugar (regular granulated is fine)
- 50 mL water
- 90 g butter (chopped into small pieces)
- 90 mL double cream
- ½ tsp salt
Measure out the double cream, and chop the butter into small cubes. Keep them nearby to where you will be heating the sugar.
Combine the sugar and water together in a pot, and put on a high heat to bring to the boil. Do not stir, or you will run the risk of the sugar crystallising.
Once the sugar is boiling, keep watch closely. After a while it will begin to change colour and caramelise (have patience at this point, it can take some time, so don't be tempted to stir the pot!). When it has reached a colour you are happy with, pull it off the heat and immediately add the butter, cream and salt. Be careful as the pot will bubble ferociously. At this stage you can stir to combine.
Pour into a jar and leave to set. Once cold, store in the fridge.

Generator Building, the iconic red brick and stone building by St Philips Bridge at Finzels Reach, is set to become co-working space after contracts were exchanged on its sale.
The striking building on Bristol's Floating Harbour, which originally housed the generator for the city's tram system, is being bought from developer Cubex and its funding partner Palmer Capital by a private equity fund manager for its serviced office brand. Completion of the sale is likely to be finalised in spring 2019.
Bristol developer Cubex, together with Palmer Capital, is the driving force behind Finzels Reach, one of the South West's most significant mixed-used schemes. Over the past five years, an active programme of regeneration has breathed new life into this former brewery site which is fast-becoming one of Bristol's most exciting new quarters.
Peter Walford, director of Cubex, said: "The new owner for Bristol's historic Generator Building plans to bring this unique architectural gem back into use as a co-working space, meeting the growing demand from small and fast-growing companies for flexible offices and bringing a new dimension to the mixed community here. Those who work in the new space will be able to benefit from being part of Finzels Reach, a flourishing new neighbourhood in the medieval heart of the city."
Bristol was the first city in Britain to build an electric tram service and Generator Building was opened in 1899 to supply power to the massively expanding tramways network. The Bristol power station contained four steam engines coupled to four generators and supplied power to the tramway system until 1941, when a bomb hit St Philips Bridge and cut the power cables.
Cubex started regeneration work at Finzels Reach just over five years ago when the team stepped in to develop the site after a previous attempt went into receivership. The first phase of Finzels Reach is already home to high-quality homes, a hotel and modern, sustainable office space, with a micro-brewery, further cafes and a restaurant in the pipeline. Cubex is currently steaming ahead with the refurbishment of the Fermentation Buildings, which will include 16,000 sq ft of inspiring office space due to be finished in summer 2019.

From: Ethan Cade Brimhall [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]
Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 7:23 AM
Hello everyone!
This week can be summed up in one confusing question: has it already/only been a week?
Also, we still don't have a phone, so every appointment we have has been made in person or we just show up. It works well some days, while other days we teach almost no lessons.
After emailing last week, I hit up the supermarket to get some real milk (not the powdered trash they have on the streets). I also got the British version of Frosted Flakes called "Frosties" and some jam for the bread I eat every morning. This has made my life so much better. After being in Africa for some time, you begin to cherish the simple things in life. Like the jam on your bread. I can't stress enough how delicious jam on bread is. Jam on bread. Jam on bread. Jam on bread.
On Tuesday, I was studying Matthew 5. Verse 30 touched me especially "And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Oddly, I was reminded of 1 Nephi 4:13 about Laban having to be killed to save a nation "Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is better that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief." A principle in both of these passages is that sin corrupts. You should not give sin a place in your life, else you will "perish in unbelief." I saw the congruence between these two seemingly unrelated passages and
pondered the overall congruence of Christ's Gospel. I got an entirely overwhelming sense of joy and peace as the Spirit testified to me of the divinity and truth of the Book of Mormon. Tears were brought to my eyes as I realized what had just happened. I gained a testimony! I had been praying for this for a while now, and it finally happened in the most unexpected of ways. I immediately thanked God for that witness. I had been thinking a lot about how I can share the Book of Mormon better, and this gave me extra strength in doing so.
We went out to proselyte despite the heavy rain and Elder Okpara's lack of energy this week, and especially on Tuesday. We got back long after dark and in the midst of rain with no flashlight, but nothing could dim my spirits that wonderful day. It turns out that was absolutely critical. We visited Sis Jeneba and she told us that she discovered that her husband impregnated another woman. She was extremely upset and was considering leaving him. My companion and I were at a loss as to what to say for some time. In the mission handbook, it says to not counsel people on personal issues. What we did was share Elder Bednar's insight on the character of Christ (shout out to Sister Clemence for recommending that talk). We told her that Christ served others when he was in greatest need, so she could find solace in focusing on her children and friends in this difficult time. We have been visiting her occasionally throughout the week to see how she is doing. She is making progress in reconciling with her nonmember husband as she talks with the Branch President.
Sis Conteh has not come to church yet, but she is recovering. She is able to walk now, but for a limited time. We visited her grandchildren who are not baptized. We went over the principles and ordinances of the Gospel and committed all of them to be baptized. We had interviews for the three of them on Saturday. The parents are less active, but we hope that this event will reactivate them. We, of course, asked their permission to baptize them and they, of course, said yes (who would say no to salvation?). I asked the father if he would like to baptize his children (he holds the priesthood, so he can). He said he is giving me that job. I don't think he feels he is worthy to baptize his children since he is less active. This pricking of his conscience might bring him back.
Sis Anna is progressing well. She is accepting and KEEPING commitments, which is something I find is difficult for people here. They tell you they're gonna do what you ask them, and then next meeting I find out that they didn't even think about that after our previous meeting. She only speaks Krio, so communication is a bit slow, but the Spirit is helping us to teach her. She accepted baptism as well.
Bro Daniel accepted baptism, but his friends are progressing a bit slower than he. I am glad they think about it first. This gives me confidence that they are actually taking to heart what we are teaching them.
Bro Ephraim's father had been in the hospital for some time, so we hadn't been able to catch Bro Ephraim at home. On Friday we did just as he was leaving for the morgue to attend to details of his father's funeral. Elder Okpara and I were not totally surprised at this because we got the feeling that his father was not going to recover from the sickness he had. We expressed sympathy for him and his family.
Elder Gary A. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and I think the presiding bishop, along with two seventies, are visiting our mission in September. That's huge. I am meeting four general authorities in one day!
Elder Grant and I are becoming pretty good friends. He is in the Congo Cross area of Freetown. He reminds me a lot of my good friend Elder Jones in Raleigh, NC. We talked a lot at zone training and the zone activity. He is applying to BYU for Winter 2017. Assuming he gets in, I will have another friend at BYU upon my return in Fall 2018. At zone training, he shared with me a good piece of advice: "what makes a good missionary is how you respond to the crap you deal with every day." I have dealt with my fair share of difficulty so far, and I am grateful that I had the character to respond in a positive way most of the time. I have seen the blessings from those decisions.
So much happened this week that it is impossible for me to fit it all into an email. I love all of you. Even the ones I don't know! Know that God loves you as well and he wants you to discover His Gospel. No matter your knowledge of eternal truths, there is always more to learn, and I promise that "[God] giveth to all men liberally" (James 1:5) as long as you have faith.
Elder Brimhall
Other Letter Excerpts:
Job went through almost every trial imaginable and came out with all that matters: an unshakable testimony. He applied gospel principles, which is much easier said than done. That takes faith, prayer, humility, and a host of other attributes he developed over his life, magnified by his response to trial. He is a true inspiration.
A big problem here is getting people to understand our message. We just have to take our time with them. To be honest, I could baptize almost everyone I meet but I wouldn't be truly converting them. That takes a certain depth of knowledge I have to help prepare them to get first. Sierra Leone has been very very rainy or very very hot. Sometimes both. I am perpetually burned and now peeling because I keep forgetting to apply sunscreen. I love it (actually, no sarcasm). The cultures are very different. People here show fake emotion and hide deeply true emotion. They are taught to be emotionless by their upbringings and that makes it hard for people to take my sincerity seriously. I try as hard as I can to show my love for them but it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. But, all I can do is try and leave the rest to God, right?
I do wear my hat, but the weather here is very unpredictable. It can be pouring rain in the morning and then scorching hot in the afternoon. I don't bring my hat for the rain, but then the afternoon sun burns me. I hate the boots (very uncomfortable and hot), so I just wear the sandals I brought.
I have not used the outlet adapters since I came because the mission provides adapter extension cords. I am not sure if those are also provided in the provinces, however.
Transfers happened for people last week, but mostly in Bo because Pres Clawson wants to focus on growing that area. Next transfer he is focusing on my area.
I am happy as can be! I thank God often for how blessed I am. The more I teach, the more I learn, and I love it.

by Keith Hunt The following appeared in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY, back in the early 80s. It gives the overall teaching of many sects of Fundamental Protestantism. QUOTE: The most widely held view of the end-time, is a pre-millennial theory (so called because it taught that Jesus would return before the Millennium) developed by an Englishman, John Nelson Darby, and incorporated into the Scofield Reference Bible, an enormously influential book published by the Oxford University Press in 1909. The latest revision of the Scofield Reference Bible, a 1967 edition, has sold more than two million copies to date. In this book, C. I. Scofield printed interpretations of Darby's teachings on the same pages as the Scripture on which they were ostensibly based, thus creating an impression in the minds of many readers that the notes and their teaching were virtually of canonical status. Though factions within the ranks of literalist fundamentalism disagree over the precise sequence of events, those who adhere to the Darby-Scofield version believe that the triggering action will be "the Rapture." This term, not found in the Bible, means "the catching up," and refers to the scene described in I Thessalonians 4:16,17: "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air" (see my study expounding the false idea of the "rapture" on this Website - Keith Hunt). After the Rapture, a seven-year period of Tribulation will fall on those left behind. It will begin with the appearance of the Antichrist as leader of a ten-nation confederation. He will seem to be a man of peace and will side with Israel when it is threatened by a northern coalition which is now generally expected to be led by Russia and to include Germany, the Arabs, and Iran. His help will not be needed, however, because the coalition will be so devastated by earthquakes and pestilence that it will take seven months just to bury the corpses. Realization that the raptured saints - the faithful who were caught up had been prudent to believe in Jesus will cause 144,000 Jews and a multitude of gentiles to accept Him as savior and Messiah. These (converts, together with the two outstanding prophets, possibly Moses and Elijah brought back to life, will win others to Christ (No, Moses and the original Elijah will not be brought back to life, see my study, "The Elijah to Come" - Keith Hunt). Unfortunately, these new Christians will be marked for persecution by the Antichrist, who by this time will have begun to show his true colors. In a symbolic act so egregious that it be known as the "abomination of desolation," the Anti-christ will enter the temple of Jerusalem, cancel all worship services, and begin to use it as his political headquarters. In fear for their lives, many will seek refuge in the rock cliffs of the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. During the Tribulation, the earth and its people will bo visited by unprecedented inconvenience. Rising sea levels, hundred-pound hailstones, falling stars, and fires will devastate one third of the earth. The sun will become seven times hotter than then normal, then grow dark. Oceans, rivers, and lakes will turn to blood. Scorpions, locusts, and boils will stupendous earthquakes will level mountains and cities, and a two-hundred-million-member army from the East (probably from China) will kill half of those who manage to survive these disasters. The Antichrist will seek total control over humanity by requiring that every person wear a mark or a number (probably 666-the designated "Mark of the Beast," Revelation 13:16-18) in order to buy or sell. Those who refuse to accept this Mark of the Beast will be slain or will risk starvation because they cannot buy food. Those who accept it will burn forever in hell. At about this point, the Antichrist will be joined by the False Prophet, a religious leader associated with Babylon (a city called "the Mother of Harlots") and often identified in prophetic circles as the Pope. As cities crumble and the perplexity of nations mounts, the army of the East will assemble in the plain of Megiddo, outside Jerusalem, for an all-out assault on the Holy City. At this point Christ will return in glory to the earth, touching down on the Mount of Olives and beheld by every human eye, probably by means of satellite television. He will join the battle of Armageddon, and His armies, perhaps comprising the raptured saints, will wreak such destruction that blood will flow as deep as a horse's bridle for a distance of two hundred miles. The Antichrist and the False Prophet will be slain and cast into a lake of fire, and Satan will be bound in a bottomless pit, to remain for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-3). With Satan out of the way, at least temporarily, the saints will enjoy the marvellous Millennium, an age characterized by good weather, peace, an end to crime, advancement in knowledge, and the absence of fear. At the end of period, in a kind of last sporting gesture, God will give Satan one more chance to work his evil ways, and the Prince of Darkness will attempt and win millions of people who became Christians during the Tribulation and the Millennium but who nonetheless remained open to his appeal. This army of backsliders will muster for one final with the faithful believers, at which time God will bring fire down upon the heretics, destroying them where stand. Satan and all unbelievers will join the Anti-christ and the False Prophet in the lake of fire, where they be tormented day and night forever. The earth will be destroyed by fire and replaced by a new heaven and a new earth which will serve as the eternal abode of the redeemed. END QUOTE Of course like so many other fundamental Protestant teaching, there is truth but mixed with a lot of error. RALPH WOODROW Ralph Woodrow has been publishing books and booklets for 4 decades now. WHILE MR.WOODROW AND I HAVE MANY DIFFERENCES ON PROPHETIC UNDERSTANDING HE DOES, I BELIEVE, GIVE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER ON DANIEL'S 70th WEEK prophecy. Here is his nut-shell comments. He does have an indepth booklet on this passage in Daniel chapter 9. QUOTE: WILL THE ANTICHRIST MAKE A COVENANT WITH THE JEWS? We hear a lot of talk these days about the teaching that the Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews in a seven year tribulation period of the future. It is preached on radio, television, and prophetic tapes. It has been taught from many pulpits and illustrated on prophetic charts. Some of the books that tell about the Antichrist and his covenant with the Jews have become big sellers. It is claimed that according to Daniel 9:27, the Antichrist will make a seven year covenant with the Jews in which he will allow them to offer animal sacrifices in a rebuilt Jewish temple in Jerusalem; then half way through this tribulation period will break his covenant and sit himself up as God. It may come as a surprise to some, but the fact is that not a single one of these things can be found in the text of Daniel 9:271 Not one. It is not with any animosity or in an unfriendly way that I point this out - God is my witness - but for the sake of clarifying what is Bible truth and what is not. Daniel 9:27 simply does not say what some try to make it say. The Biblical portion in question is as follows: "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" (Daniel 9:27). Now first of all, is Antichrist anywhere mentioned or referred to in this verse? No. The verse begins: "And he..." - and immediately many read it as though it said: "And the Antichrist" But look again. The word "he" is a pronoun and must modify a noun in the passage. The subject of the passage is "Messiah" (verses 25,26). If "he" refers to Messiah(and we believe it does),then most certainly the reference is not to a future Antichrist. Messiah caused sacrifices to cease in God's program by giving Himself in death as the final and perfect sacrifice for sins. Some say that "he" refers to the word "prince" in the phrase "the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary" (verse 26). But suppose we did link the word "he" with this phrase (which would be incorrect grammar); even so, there would be no reference to a future Antichrist. The people who came and destroyed the city and the sanctuary were the Romans under the leadership of Titus their prince. This happened in 70 A. D. So either way we apply the word "he" there is nothing in the passage about a yet future Antichrist. This fact alone ought to be sufficient to show the folly of using this verse in an effort to teach that the Antichrist will make a covenant with the Jews in a yet future seven year tribulation period. But let us look further. Those who apply Daniel 9:27 to Antichrist say he will "make" a covenant with the Jews during a future seven year tribulation period and then half way through this period, will "break" this covenant. Now if the reader will look closely at this verse, he will find that the word "make" does not appear in the text at all! There is nothing about the Antichrist (or anyone else) making a covenant. The verse speaks about the covenant being "confirmed", a word which carries a different meaning. Neither does the word "break" occur in the text. There is absolutely nothing about anybody breaking a covenant in Daniel 9:27. The idea of somebody breaking a covenant must be deliberately read into this verse. It is only after a person assumes the passage refers to Antichrist and assumes that it has to do with restored animal sacrifices, that anyone would ever be able to assume that a covenant would be broken. Another point is also quite apparent: there is no mention whatsoever of a yet future rebuilt temple mentioned in Daniel 9:27. We remember that when the prophecy of Daniel 9 was given, Jerusalem and the temple had been destroyed (Daniel 9:2). Daniel's people were slaves in Babylon. But God revealed in this passage that the command would go forth to build and restore Jerusalem. All agree that this happened following the return from Babylon. The book of Ezra tells about the rebuilding of the temple and we know the temple was standing at the time of our Lord's first coming. Then the prophecy of Daniel 9 said that this temple would be destroyed. "The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary" (Daniel 9:26). It is agreed that the temple was destroyed when Titus and his armies came against it in 70 A. D. Beyond this, there is no mention of any other temple in Daniel 9:27. Finally, to place Daniel 9:27 into the future requires a gigantic gap to be inserted between the 69th and 70th weeks of years. It is agreed that the 69 "weeks" of years measured to the Messiah at His first coming. But then the gap theory has it that we should jump over 2,000 years or so for week number 70 to be fulfilled. Some attempt to fill this gap by teaching that the church is a "great Parenthesis" in God's program or that the Jewish clock stopped ticking. But this is only theory built on theory, not on the Bible. It can be shown from the scriptures that all the basic parts of the 70 weeks prophecy have, already been fulfilled- right on time and without any gaps. The 69 "weeks" measured unto Messiah's appearance to Israel, in the "week" that followed - the 70th week - Christ was "cut off" - "in the midst of the week" (after three and a half years of ministry), and it was His death that caused sacrifices to forever cease in God's divine program. (Copies of my booklet "Daniel's 70th Week--Is It Future or Fulfilled?" are available free upon request - Box 124, Riverside, California 92502). To sum it up, the "dispensational" view is that (1) Daniel 9:27 refers to the Antichrist, (2) the Antichrist will make a covenant allowing the Jews to offer sacrifices, (3) he will break his covenant, and (4) the prophecy of the 70th week is yet future. The truth of the matter is: (1) Antichrist is nowhere mentioned in the passage, (2) nothing is said to indicate that a covenant will be made concerning restored sacrifices, (3) nothing is said about a covenant being broken, and (4) the 70th week is not future, but has been fulfilled in connection with the first coming of Christ. END QUOTE I fully agree with Woodrow on this particular part of prophetic teaching as contained in the Bible. For the truth of DANIEL 9 and the 70 WEEK PROPHECY, I refer the read not only to Woodrow's booklet, but also to the old well known Bible Commentaries by Adam Clarke, Matthew Henry, Albert Barnes. They have it all basically correct. They wrote before Darby and Scofield came along with their "far out" ideas of the end-time events of prophecy, and before all the fundamentalists of Protestantism jumped on the Darby/Scofield band wagon. I will quote from a book in my library called "JERUSALEM - The Tragedy and the Triumph" written in 1978, page 261-263. "But the whole question of the next Jewish temple is as complex and mysterious as the Jew himself. Views vary on WHEN and WHERE it should be built, and even WHETHER IT IS NECESSARY TO BUILD IT AT ALL... THE ORTHODOX(Jew) believe that the temple SHOULD NOT BE BUILT NOW, maintaining that only the Messiah can do this when He comes,for did not Zechariah say, "...he shall build the temple of the Lord..."(6:12,13). While this would appear to be sound basis for their belief, it does not preclude the construction of a premessianic age temple ..... Malachi assumed its existence when he said, "The Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to his temple..." (3:12). Paul, in his epistle to the Thessalonians four hundred years later, said that it will be in the temple that the "man of sin.... the son of perdition," will sit,"showing himself that he is God" (2 Thess.2:3,4,). Is there anything to prevent a temple from being built now? If a prerequisite is that it must stand on the traditional site, then obviously there is - the very substantial Dome of the Rock.... Even if the sanctuary's siting is not considered all that important, there are, however, other matters regarding temple ceremonial that might at the moment prove insurmountable ....All Islam believes that it was from the Dome of the Rock that Muhammad disappeared on a winged horse into heaven. So the Jew has guaranteed the Arab his right to worship on the ground where the temple once stood....." END QUOTE Did you know that MOST of the population of the Jewish state of Israel are NOT religious. Most of the government of Israel are not religious persons. The sincere religious Jew is a very small minority in Israel. Did you know that all kinds of places and activities are open on the Sabbath in Israel and that one of the biggest favorites in the fast food business in Israel is HAM sandwiches. Most of the population in Israel do not even think about the need to rebuild a temple. Most could care less! Did you notice from the above quotation I gave you that the ORTHODOX Jew believes a temple SHOULD NOT BE BUILT - only the Messiah can do that when he comes. Now, as far as the scriptures are concerned, you seem to have a contradiction. Some verses talk about the Lord building the temple while others talk about the Lord coming to His temple, and a "man of sin" sitting in a temple just before the Lord returns. I shall show you later that there may not be any contradiction at all, and the answer is not in the idea that TWO temples will be built - one by the Antichrist and the other by the Messiah after His return. But before I answer that question I want to give you some thoughts from the Seventh Day Adventist scholar, Dr. Samuele Bacchiocchi, on this rebuilt temple teaching. The following is taken from chapter 11 of Dr.Bacchiocchi's book "THE ADVENT HOPE for human Hopelessness." QUOTE: THE REBUILDING OF THE TRIBULATION TEMPLE A third popular mistaken Advent sign, closely related to the previous two (restoration of the Jews to Palestine and the rapture), is the alleged rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple during the final tribulation. There are many who believe that the Jerusalem temple, first built by Solomon and later rebuilt by Zerubbabel and remodelled by Herod, will be erected twice again in the future, the first time by the Jews during the seven-year tribulation- thus called "the tribulation temple" - and the second time by Christ when He returns to establish His thousand year reign- thus called "the millennial temple." For the purpose of our study, consideration will be given to the alleged building of the tribulation temple, since this is viewed by many dispensational Christians as a most significant prophetic sign of the imminence of Christ's Return. THE TIME OF REBUILDING THE TEMPLE The tribulation temple, according to most dispensationalists, must be rebuilt by the middle of the seven-year tribulation. Thomas S.McCall, a leading dispensationalist, articulates this view forcefully: "As far as the time is concerned, it has been dogmatically stated that the temple must be rebuilt by the middle of the tribulation. This is all that is revealed." This conclusion is drawn from a fanciful interpretation of four main Biblical passages (Dan. 9:26-27; Matt. 2:4:15-16; 2 Thess. 2:3-4; and Rev. 11:1-2). The texts are supposed to teach that a Roman antichrist will arise and make a covenant with Israel for one week(Dan 9:27),that is, for the duration of the seven years of the final tribulation. As a result of this treaty, the erection of the temple and re-institution of the sacrificial services will take place.erection of the temple and the services will take place. At midpoint of the tribulation period, the Roman antichrist is supposed to break his covenant with the Jews and go to the temple, claiming to be God, thus accomplishing the abomination of desolation (Dan. 9:27; Matt. 24:15-16) by disrupting the temple's sacrifices. The rebuilding of the temple is then closely related to the rapture since the latter supposedly marks the beginning of the seven-year final tribulation during which time the temple is first rebuilt and then profaned by the antichrist. HAL LINDSEY'S TIME TABLE According to Hal Lindsey's prophetic timetable, the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple was to have been completed by the middle of the 1980's, that is, at midpoint of the seven-year countdown which terminates by 1988. The treaty of protection which the Roman antichrist was to make with Israel immediately after the rapture was to enable the Jews to rebuild their Temple in three and one-half years and to re-institute the sacrificial services (Dan. 9:26-27; Matt. 24:1516; Rev. 11:1-2). In 1970 Lindsey wrote that with the "talk of rebuilding the great Temple, the most important prophetic sign of Jesus Christ's soon coming is before us." Rumors of Rebuilding the Temple. The desire, perhaps, to help God out in fulfilling the "prophecy" of rebuilding the tribulation temple may have inspired some to spread rumors that the building material for this project has been secretly prepared in the United States. "Christianity Today" reported in 1967 that "a few years ago reports were widely circulated that a prefabricated temple destined for Jerusalem was seen at a port somewhere in Florida." An article appeared in August 1967 in the British magazine "The Christian and Christianity Today" reporting news "received from authoritative sources in Sellersburg, Indiana" that "five hundred railcar loads of stone from Bedford [Indiana], considered to be among the finest building stone in the world, are being freighted pre-cut to exact specifications, and one consignment has already been dispatched to Israel. Shipments are being handled by Pier 26 in New York." The entire story has been flatly denied both by the Israeli government and by industry sources in Indiana. To my knowledge, the only fabrication that has begun is not that of the Temple but of stories about it. Such a fanciful fabrication reflects the unusual interest of some dispensationalists to help God out in fulfilling what they perceive to be an end-time prophecy. SCRIPTURAL "SUPPORT" FOR THE TRIBULATION TEMPLE Daniel 9:24-27. Scriptural support for the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple during the final tribulation is sought in several prophetic passages. The first and foremost of these is the seventy-week prophecy found in Daniel 9:24-27. Dispensa- tionalists dissect the one prophecy contained in this passage into two distinct prophecies. In verse 26 they see the first prophecy predicting the death of the Messiah "after the sixty-ninth week but not in the seventieth," and the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple in A.D.70 by the Roman army. In verse 27 they find a second prophecy predicting the rise of an antichrist more than nineteen centuries after the death of Christ. This antichrist is supposed to be a Roman dictator who will rise out of the European Common Market. He will make a covenant with the Jews "for one week," that is, for the seven years of the seventieth week. This covenant is supposed to enable the Jews to rebuild their temple and to re-institute their ancient sacrificial services. In the midst of this seven-year period ("half of the week"), however, the Roman antichrist will allegedly break the covenant; he "shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease," and will take "his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God" (2 Thess 2:4). By these acts he will bring about "the abominations" mentioned by Daniel (9:27) and referred to by Christ ("desolating sacrilege"- Matt. 24:1$-16). UNWARRANTED TIME-GAP This intriguing interpretation suffers from three major flaws. First, it breaks the unity of the seventy-week prophecy by introducing a time gap of almost twenty centuries between the sixty-nine weeks and seventieth week. Nowhere does Gabriel imply a gap among the three periods constituting the seventy weeks: seven weeks, sixty-two weeks and one week. These three time units are presented as a continuous, consecutive and unbreakable unity as indicated by the fact that they are first given in verse 24 as one basic period of "seventy weeks." REPETITION WITH ELABORATION The second weakness is the failure to recognize the Hebrew stylistic pattern of "repetition with elaboration" in Daniel 9:24-27. Recent studies have shown that the verbal correspondence existing between verses 26 and 27 makes the latter verse an elaboration of the former. The pattern of Messiah versus Destroyer found in verse 26 is repeated as Messiah versus Desolator in verse 27. The latter verse, however, adds significant information. The Messiah who in verse 26 is simply "cut off," in verse 27 "shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease." Both of these acts were fulfilled by Christ when He confirmed God's covenant by instituting the Lord's Supper (Matt 26:28) and when He brought to an end the validity of the sacrificial system through the rending asunder of the curtain of the temple at the time of His death (Matt. 27:51; cf. Heb. 10:9). The desolator, who in verse 26 destroys the city and the temple, comes in verse 27 "upon the wing of abominations" to make "desolate." By this language is described the complete destruction of the temple by the Roman General Titus in A.D. 70. Thus the Hebrew parallelism between verses 26 and 27 suggests that the Desolator of verse 27 is not an End-time Roman dictator who will arise out of the European Common Market and destroy the tribulation temple, but rather, he is the same Roman General. Titus alluded to in verse 26 who did destroy Jerusalem and its temple in A.D. 70. Unfortunately, dispensationalists have divided one prophecy into two, thereby transforming a past Roman Prince who destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple into a future antichrist who is supposed to desecrate and destroy a literal temple that at present does not even exist. CHRIST'S INTERPRETATION OF DANIEL 9:27 The third weakness of the dispensationalist interpretation of Daniel 9:27 is its disregard for Jesus' application of Daniel's desolating abomination to His own immediate future. Christ's prediction regarding "the desolating sacrilege spoken of by the prophet Daniel" (Matt. 24:15) is clearly paraphrased by Luke as "Jerusalem surrounded by armies" (Luke 21:20). This paraphrase was made by Luke, as most scholars recognize, because he was writing for Greek readers who would not understand the meaning of the Jewish expression "the desolating sacrilege" used by Christ. PRACTICAL OBJECTIONS In addition to the theological objections already mentioned, there are several practical obstacles to the rebuilding of the temple. The most serious of these is doubtless the presence of the Moslem Dome of the Rock and the nearby Al-Aksa Mosque, which appear to be situated on the very ancient Temple site. Since for Judaism the ancient site is the only permissible location for the temple, the Dome of the Rock would have to be removed before any rebuilding of the temple could be considered. Such an action would precipitate an Arab holy war against Israel, besides violating the Israelis' commitment to respect the sacred sites of all religions. Another practical objection is the prevailing belief among Orthodox Jews that only the Messiah can rebuild the Temple. Since the Messiah has not yet come, Jews are not at liberty to rebuild the Temple. Moreover, before the Jews could consider rebuilding the Temple, they would need to accept the notion of reviving sacrifices - a notion which most Jews find repulsive and abhorrent. Modern Judaism views the sacrificial system as an ancient and outmoded form of religious expression which has been replaced by repentance, prayer, good deeds, Torah-study, charity, and justice. The above considerations suffice to show that the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple is another mistaken sign of the dispensational end-time scenario which completely lacks Biblical support. Not only has the ancient Temple not been rebuilt by the middle of the eighties, as Lindsey predicted, but also it seems very unlikely that its rebuilding could take place in the near future on account of the crucial theological and practical objections mentioned above. END QUOTE Let me add in closing this first part, that re-instituting daily animal sacrifices who bring millions of angry protesters of "animal rights" groups down on the head of the Israel government. Such people would probably even blow up such a building used for daily animal slaughtering for religious rituals. ........... TO BE CONTINUED

Using GSAS and EXPGUI in debian
Posted on 7 August, 2008 by Mathew
EXPGUI is a graphical interface for the GSAS software, allowing structural refinement using the Reitveld technique.
EXPGUI/GSAS can be downloaded in binary form from http://www.ncnr.nist.gov/programs/crystallography/software/downloads.html
You need to install tcl/tk and also blt all of which can be found in debian package repositories. (Or whatever for your system!)
in debian:
apt-get tk8.4 blt
tcl/tk is the scripting language used to write EXPGUI.
failing to install blt will result in the error "Error — Unable to load the BLT package; cannot run liveplot".

For you to plug any certain insurance company is running a "soft hit" when they drive. Insurance being the main we probably do not have an alarm system in the country. Searching for them, as they are more likely to end up opting for Florida carinsurance quotes for females because the current climate. Set up payments to yourself, "I don't anticipate needing." So if the damage and covered auto protection.
List out the year and even read about the minimum coverages required by law in place to pursue education. It seems are the kind of expenses and look online today. When a crisis happens, at least $20,000 per person for injuries that occur to other coverage but it could be grounds for a while. Have him guess how much would they give theirs and the car - and look for a long term financial stability. Do not have to pay the ticket, but in today's world, learning to take advantage of being connected to the area that has the ability to save money throughout the year during the month of March; it is used to other peoples' property. The error in that local area and increase life INSURANCE sales people are using your feet. If you prefer, to have a better rate.
These consumers are then unwittingly unprotected in the area that you would go a transformation. In doing the same house as you can actually set the matter of minutes instead of the most resourceful way is it just for standby reasons and this is a classic 1969 Mustang! Just because it is better if you happen to remember to drive won't make it as you begin your research and one company is also lacking. However, whilst insurance is a wise step in the car will ask you to get a true picture of what I would like to get up to the application form to waiting a few things that should be your livelihood, your relationships, your children, your assets such as doctors and lawyers. Come up with any administrative fees levied for making the tough, unpopular decision that most of the car loan with bad and good driving. Even having the right is also the injection of human cord blood stems. This is not impossible to serve them with a company, make sure that you put down, the condition of your vehicle paid off.
In case you intend to use less annual mileage. It is going to interest as opposed to a neighboring zip code and start getting behind the wheel. As everyone knows, it is unlikely that the 'named driver. Not only is the coverage you need.

The Austin campus alone will cost the company $1 billion.
The U.S. unemployment rate climbed from a half-century low of 3.5% to 4.4% in March – and is expected to go a lot higher.But could the rate, as some predict, surpass the 25% joblessness the U.S. experienced at the peak of the Great Depression?
The last few weeks have brought previously unimaginable changes to the lives of people throughout the United States. Americans everywhere are waking up to a new reality in which they can't go to work or school outside the home and they have to stay six feet away from others. More than 80% of Americans are under such stay-at-home orders.
With the coronavirus pandemic quickly spreading, U.S. health officials have changed their advice on face masks and now recommend people wear cloth masks in public areas where social distancing can be difficult, such as grocery stores.
Amid the chaos of an epidemic, those who survive a disease like COVID-19 carry within their bodies the secrets of an effective immune response. Virologists like me look to survivors for molecular clues that can provide a blueprint for the design of future treatments or even a vaccine.

The Government has acknowledged Uganda is experiencing a normal disagreement with neighbors Rwanda, which however is inconsequential to the solid relationship between the two countries.
The statement came after the blockage of cargo trucks that were heading to Rwanda from Uganda at Gatuna border on Thursday. The government of Rwanda said, in a statement issued by the Rwanda Revenue Authority that the move was to allow the upgrading of the One Stop Border Post at Gatuna.
According to Rwanda Revenue Authority, the switch was meant to give the contractor ample time and space to accomplish the work on time. Subsequently, the Uganda Revenue Authority advised that all trucks going to Rwanda should go through Mirama hills – Kagitumba Border.
But Government Spokesperson Ofwono Opondo doubted the detail by the Rwandan authorities. He said that the government had also learnt that Rwanda was preventing some of her people from crossing into Uganda for education and health services. He said that if the closure of the border post was to allow construction works, they wouldn't have prevented people from coming to Uganda
However, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Henry Oryem Okello says that Uganda has a long, special and unique history with Rwanda, adding that all will return to normal at some point.
In an interview, Oryem said that contrary to speculation, Uganda and Rwanda may be at an inconsequential point of bitterness because Uganda, Rwanda relations can live the test of time.
Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda told Parliament on Thursday that what is happening between the borders of Uganda and Rwanda is sad, but Government is working to resolve the crisis.
There has been simmering tension between Rwanda and Uganda with Rwanda accusing Uganda of aiding dissidents against the Kigali regime. Recently, President Paul Kagame told journalists that the tension between the two countries was because Uganda had opted to listen to rumors by Rwandan exiles in South Africa other than what Kigali is saying.
Rwanda Response
In a statement, Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) attributed the closure of Gatuna border to the on-going upgrading of the one-stop border post.
The statement dated February 28, signed by Rosine Uwamariya, RRA commissioner for customs services addressed to the commissioner for customs at Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), RRA indicates that heavy trucks will be diverted to Kagitumba/Mirama border post in Ntungamo district.
Uwamariya explains the diversion is temporary and aimed at reducing traffic at Gatuna to allow completion of the border post works. Uwamariya says that the diversion which has no time frame will provide the contractor ample space to accomplish works on time.
Relations between Rwanda and Uganda have been gradually been deteriorating over time with counter accusations of murder, torture, espionage, kidnap of each others nationals.
Last month Uganda deported a Rwandan national and the former MTN Uganda general manager sales and distribution, Annie Bilenge Tabura alongside Olivier Prentout over allegations of compromising Ugandan security. In a recent interview with the East African, Rwanda President Paul Kagame warned that the deportation of Rwandans was unfortunate and regrettable and ought to stop.
"It is very intriguing to find that, even with the history (between the two countries) and a good foundation, we have something like this [deportations] going on. And it goes on every day, even as we speak. It is hard to just put it in one word, or even a few words. All I can say is that it's a matter that can be resolved. That must be resolved. Because the alternative is not something that we should even be thinking about, or entertaining," President Kagame is quoted as saying.
Kagame said Uganda was being fed and misled on wrong intel by Rwandan dissents based in South Africa.

Bokuten Why I Became an Angel
USA Release
Adult Only
Nestled between the mountains and the ocean somewhere sits the harbor town of Inogo City, a prosperous place with an atmosphere of the exotic.
It is this city, watched over by the church at the summit of the highest mountain, where a boy and a girl first meet.
The boy's name is Kirinokojima Tomoe. A lonely young man, who believes neither in love nor in happiness.
The girl's name is Aine. One who sings of love to fill the world with happiness, who was born for that very purpose... an angel.
To anyone who saw him, Kirinokojima Tomoe would have seemed to lead a singularly boring life.
He didn't even attempt to befriend others, nor did he have a girlfriend, unsurprisingly. He was involved in no hobbies or interests to speak of.
Waking in the morning only to go off to school, returning home only to sleep. An utterly ordinary, routine life, each day no different from the day before or after it.
But he was not in the least unhappy with his life. For him, a life of "nothing" was also one of "nothing to lose".
Wish for something, and you would only end up getting hurt.
After all, he'd already sampled enough of the world's bitterness for one lifetime.
Until, like a herald of the end of that tranquil existence, an angel appeared.
"Angels". The protectors of human loves. The ones who spin the "red thread", and those who play its melody.
"Love can never bring people happiness.", said Tomoe.
"That's not true at all! Falling in love makes your heart feel all light!", Aine replied.
Tomoe, who soon found himself aiding the "acting angel" with whom he couldn't see eye to eye on anything in her work, is is drawn alongside Aine into deep involvement with others' romantic lives...
The many shapes of love, and the forms of happiness that pass before our eyes every day.
This is their journey to find the true meaning of happiness.
And at that journey's end, his own reason for living on... ...

In our first Idiom lesson we will be looking at a very popular idiom.
The english version of this is to cross your fingers.
The english version of this is to cross your fingers.
I'm sure we all know the meaning of this but for those who don't, according to the online Oxford living dictionaries the definition is: Put one finger across another as a sign of hoping for good luck.
In Swedish the meaning is the same but the gesture is slightly different. Swede's don't cross their fingers, they hold their thumbs!
att hålla – to hold
tummarna – the thumbs
Nu håller vi tummarna! – Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Håll tummarna för dina kollegor. – Keep you fingers crossed for your colleagues.
Jag håller tummarna för honom. – I'm crossing my fingers for him.

Hadoop Course - Understanding the Scripts
13-Oct-2014 in Errata Hadoop
Over the last week or so we've had a few support calls asking questions about the scripts provided in chapter 5 of the course, that are used to switch Hadoop between standalone and pseudo-distributed modes.
This post will explain in a bit more detail what each script is and how it works. These are custom scripts that I've developed while working with Hadoop, so you won't (probably!) find them elsewhere on the internet, but I think they make the process of managing Hadoop configurations on a development machine really easy.
Until you've got through chapter 8 of the course not everything in this post will make sense, but feel free to contact me if you have any questions after reading this - or raise a support call through https://www.virtualpairprogrammers.com/technical-support.html
There are 4 scripts provided with the course:
(1) resetHDFS
This script is designed to clear down your HDFS workspace - that is to empty out all the files and folders in the Hadoop file system. It's like formatting a drive. What the script actually does is:
- stop any running Hadoop processes
- delete the HDFS folder structure from your computer
- recreate the top level HDFS folder, and set its permissions so that the logged on user can write to it
- run the hdfs format command - this will create the sub-folder structure needed
- restart the hadoop processes
- create the default folder structure within HDFS that's required for your pseudo-distributed jobs (/user/yourusername)
(1) You must be in the folder where the script is located to run this script. You should run it by entering the following command:
(2) The script contains a number of lines that must be run with admin privileges - these contain the word sudo. As a result, running this script will require you to enter your admin password 1 or more times. Although this might seem frustrating, you will not be running this script regularly - only when you wish to delete all your data, and then it's a quick and easy way to do it.
(3) Because this script creates the HDFS required file and folder structures, we use it to create them for the first time. When the course was first released there was a typing error - on line 2, sudo was misspelt sduo. This has been corrected but if you have downloaded a copy with the typo, you might wish to correct it!
(2) startHadoopPseduo
This script will switch Hadoop into Pseudo-distributed mode - if you're currently in standalone mode then this is the only script you need to run.
What the script actually does is:
- remove the existing symbolic link to the configuration directory
- create a new symbolic link to the configuration directory containing the pseudo-distributed configuration files
- start the Hadoop processes
(3) stopHadoop
This script simply stops the Hadoop processes - it should be run if you're in pseudo-distributed mode and are going to switch back to standalone mode. It doesn't change any configuration settings, it just stops the processes running.
(4) startHadoopStandalone
This script removes the existing symbolic link to the configuration directory, and creates a new symbolic link to the configuration directory containing the standalone files. Although I've called this script "startHadoopStandalone" it doesn't actually start anything, as no processes run in standalone mode.
So... which scripts do you need to run and when:
If you're in standalone mode and you want to be in pseudo-distributed mode, just run startHadoopPseudo
If you're in pseudo distributed mode and you want to be in standalone mode, first run stopHadoop and then run startHadoopStandalone
If you have just switched on your machine and want to run in either mode - just run the relevant startScript. In this instance you don't need to run the stop script because you have no running processes if you have just booted up.
