Love Endures Disappointment
Love Endures Disappointment
Listen To Love Endures Disappointment
When I was in High School I used to wake up for breakfast and watch Good Morning America every morning. I must have been a senior in High School when Good Morning America came on one morning with what the show said was startling news. There was a new invention that would change the world that would as we know it and it would be revealed soon. This was some sort of transportation device. And within a couple of weeks the device would be revealed on the show. Being a bit of a science fiction fan and futurist I was really excited. What could it be? A flying car? A new space shuttle? A levitating skate board also known as a hover board? Every morning for weeks Good Morning America teased this new invention, building up anticipation. The day of the big reveal I awoke excited, ready for the world to change. I turned on Good Morning America only to find that the morning was not as good as I anticipated it would be.
The invention that was revealed that morning was the Segway. Invented by Dean Kamen the Segway is a two wheeled self balancing scooter with a hand stand that the user pushes forward or to either side to direct the scooter. There is a picture of the scooter on the back of your bulletin if you are not familiar with it.
I got to say after weeks of anticipation,
I was more than a little disappointed.
I thought to myself, "an electric scooter? Is that it? Why not just walk, ride a bike or take the bus?" I was more than a little disappointed.
Perhaps today you are facing more serious disappointments in your lives than a big let down on Good Morning America. Perhaps you are facing disappointment in your work, in your marriage, in your family, in your relationships. Proverbs 18:14 declares, " The human spirit can endure sickness but a crushed spirit what man can bear?" Perhaps your Spirit is sick today. Sick from disappointment and despair.
But I have good news today.
The good news is that Love endures disappointment because God's Love is being poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Today I have one point.
- How God works through our trials to pour his love into our hearts.
Paul tells us the process by which God pours His love into our heart. Paul tells us that we rejoice in our suffering because suffering produces endurance. The word for endurance here means setting a steadfast course till you reach the end. It is the marathon runner who runs even as her muscles burn in the last mile. It is the soldier who walks into enemy fire to rescue a fallen brother in arms. It is a husband who keeps his word to take care of his sick wife till her last breath.
Paul tells us that endurance produces character. The word for character here can be more literally translated as "proof" or "evidence". Often trials in the scripture are described as a refining fire, by which precious metal is separated from ore. 1 Peter 1:6 says , "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith-more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire-may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ." In a real way the scriptures suggest that the evidence of our faith is not our doctrine, or our works, or even miracles, but it is the character that is shaped by what we believe which leads to our works.
Paul says that character produces hope. There seemed to be a logical progression up to when Paul gets to character. We understand how suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, but how does character produce hope? There doesn't seem to be a logical connection. Being here at Calvin has taught me what Paul meant.
As I have listened to our Sunday schools and observed folks at Calvin I believe new families come to Calvin because they see the genuine faith of our older saints which is more precious than gold. There are those who have built this church who's genuine faith and kindness inspire us and give us hope that we too can overcome our struggles. There wisdom, kindness, and hard work warms our hearts and makes us believe that God is for us and not against us.
A couple of weeks ago I got see one of these saints at work. We had just finished praying for the church as we do every Sunday before worship. And this person, who is in her later years, ran into one of our youth, who is in middle school and sings on the praise band. She went up to this youth and just started telling her how much she appreciated her singing and her ministry. I cannot tell you how much this act of kindness moved me. To see this woman who was separated by a good eighty years from this youth encourage this youth to pursue her gifts in ministry, it is one of the most profound things I have seen in the course of my ministry. I just got a sense that a time is coming where we will worship in Spirit and Truth. The nations will rise up and come to his house for his house shall be a house of prayer for all people. Why do new families come here? Children and youth see the genuineness of your faith which shines like gold and they ask their parents to come back. It is not a great mystery. We all know children are attracted to shinny things. And the faith of our seasoned saints shines like a light on a hill. We see Christ lifted up and we see that he draws all people to Himself (John 12:32).
Being at Calvin I have come to realize that our character doesn't give us hope it gives those around us hope. Character producing hope doesn't make sense to us because we are thinking about hope for ourselves and not hope for others. But when we think about those who give us hope it is because we admire their character. But we rather be inspired than be the ones to inspire. Because we don't know how to have the character of those we admire.
But it is hard to believe that we can be refined in that way. With all the problems we are going through in our own lives it is hard to believe. Those we admire are saints and we are not saints. But in the Presbyterian Church we do not bestow sainthood on people as the Catholic Church does. Because we believe the we are all saints ( 1 Peter 2:9) All who confess Christ and have the Holy Spirit dwelling in their hearts are considered saints. We are all saints and priests. We are the priest hood of believers. And we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1). But these saints are not better than us they have just gone before us. They are simply further down the road. And they are encouraging us that we can get to where they are.
These folks have endured disappointments. They have endured their heartbreaks. And they have needs just like we do. They want to be loved just like we do. They are lonely and grieve just like we do. And yet they serve others and do not care if they are seen. They help us and make us look good and don't ask for the credit. Though their bodies grow older their Spirits gain strength. How do they do it? Paul tells us;
"And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." The word here for, "poured out" in the Greek is in the perfect tense. And whenever I find something in the perfect tense I have to point it out because in English we lack this tense. The perfect tense indicates something that happened in the past that continues to happen in the future. Paul is saying that God's Love was poured out when we welcomed the Holy Spirit into our hearts by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ. And His love continues to be poured out through the Holy Spirit. There is a river of living water flowing from the heavens into our lives if we would lift up our hearts and be filled, and we would not be disappointed. He is as my minister growing up said, The Holy Spirit is the near side of God. He comes to us and makes us know that we are not alone. That God is real, and He is Love, and he will not fail us, because love never ends. But when he approaches us nothing that is unholy can be made room for in our lives because we cannot control him. But if we welcome Him in he will fill us in time.
The scriptures also use the perfect tense to describe Jesus, our crucified Lord. For the longest time I thought when Jesus rose from the dead he showed his disciples his wounds to satisfy them. To show them that he really was their teacher who had been crucified. I thought that when he ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father that he healed the wounds so he would be perfect. But the scriptures use the perfect tense to describe Jesus as crucified. He was crucified and is crucified forever. If he is not ashamed of his scars so why should we be ashamed of ours?
And I see now in my Spirit Jesus the crucified Lord. From His wounds rivers of living water flow into a thirsty world to prepare the harvest. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few Lord would you send out laborers into your harvest? Father would you glorify your Son so you may be glorified? Jesus He is Lord. High and lifted up. But how did he get there?
He got there by sharing the Last Supper with his disciples. He got there by breaking his body for us and sheeding his blood for us. He got there by being betrayed in a garden. Not only did he die for the world, he died for his friends. As Jesus says in John, "No greater love has a man than this to lay his life down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Jesus' disciples were his friends, he shared his heart with them, but in the end even Peter, the most devoted and passionate of them, scattered, as the cross loomed before him. Peter was the one who pulled the knife in the Garden ready to face an angry crowd to protect Jesus (John 18:10). But Jesus told him to put his knife down. Peter was ready to die for Jesus but he was not ready for Jesus to die for him. Peter betrayed his master and friend because Jesus disappointed him. Because Jesus wasn't who he thought he was. He was the crucified Lord not a military leader, and because he was disappointed Peter fled. But Jesus saw the weakness in Peter's heart and understood. He said the day would come when Peter would turn again and strengthen His brother (Luke 22:32). And Peter rose up to be a leader in the church. Because while Peter was disappointed in Jesus, Jesus was not disappointed in Peter.
Even with Judas, the one who betrayed Jesus and handed Him over to be crucified, Jesus was not disappointed. When Judas led the mob into the Garden of Gethsemane to arrest Jesus, the Gospel of Matthew tells us that Jesus said to Judas, "Friend, do what you came to do." (Matthew 26:50) Though Judas had turned against him Jesus still considered him a friend. Judas would bear the eternal consequences of what he had done but Jesus was not disappointed even with Judas. And whatever you have done, whatever you think of yourself, whatever hurts in your hearts, Jesus is not disappointed with you. He bid you come to Him. He bid you repent and believe. He bid that you lift up your hearts and be filled with the Spirit . Because love bears all things, believes, all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love endures, love endures, love endures disappointment. Hallelujah and praise be to God.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

IAR: So I understand you met Woody Allen after he saw you onstage in a play. Could you share the story of what happened there?
Corey Stoll: Yeah, I was doing A View From the Bridge with Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schrieber. They both had a lot of really fancy people who would come backstage, you know, you'd look at the sign-in sheet for who to let back in and every day it was somebody who made me more nervous to do the play. But I remember before all that started, telling Scarlett, "I don't care who you have come, when Woody Allen comes, you have to introduce me, I have to meet him." And she said okay. Then, at one point during the run she told me, "Oh, Woody came last night but he was too shy to come backstage." So I thought I'd missed my chance. And then a few weeks later, I was doing my curtain call and I saw Woody Allen in the third row while I was doing it. I was like, "Oh my god, he came back again." The next day I got an email that he wanted a meeting. I didn't know what it was for, there was no material or anything to memorize, it was just a meeting. And so I showed up and then he said, "Oh, it was good to see you in the play and I'd like you read something," and he handed me that scene from the car. It was this two page monologue. He gave me like five minutes to work on it and then read.
Did you have enough familiarity with Hemingway as a writer to have a sense of a voice and a character or was it just going in blind, frantically trying to figure out how to play that in five minutes?
Stoll: I definitely had a sense of Hemingway. He was one of my favorite writers. I hadn't read him in awhile, I hadn't thought about him in awhile, and then I read that. The thing is that the dialogue was just so perfect. It captured that cadence and that intensity and spare style so brilliantly that it had its own gravitational pull. I didn't have to conjure up anything, just read the words. And that was basically the direction that he gave me throughout the shoot. It was just, "Simpler." "Less." That's always good direction.
So he's fairly hands off as a director?
Stoll: For the most part, yeah. Especially for the scenes that are big group scenes, with big hand-held or Steadicam shots with a bunch of people in them, his only real direction is sort of blocking direction. "You come here, and then you come here, and then the camera will come here, and then you leave." You'll get one rehearsal and two or three takes and it's absolutely terrifying. There were a couple scenes, like that one in the car and the one where you first meet Hemingway in the cafe, where he took the time and really had very specific notes, sometimes even down to the line. I can't do him doing this, but he would occasionally go into this sort of Hemingway riff. It was still Woody Allen's voice, but it was sort of, you know, "And then I did this, and then I did that." It was hilarious.
It's quite a mental image, Allen doing Hemingway. In your approach to this, were you trying to create a biographically accurate image of Hemingway or was it more of an almost cartoon version of him for the film?
Stoll: Well, I was trying to sort of shoot for between those two. After I got the part, I asked for any sort of suggestions for research and he said to read Green Hills of Africa. He even was sort of specific enough to say, "Don't listen to his voice and don't read biographies. It should be about the writing and not the man." I thought that was really, it was very smart, because I did read biographical stuff. There's very little recording of his voice, but on YouTube, I think, there was him accepting the Nobel Prize and it was shockingly lispy and almost, like, weak, his voice. So I clearly was not going to even attempt to do that, because that's not the image. And that's the thing. I think Woody Allen wanted all of these characters to sort of be the projection that the read has of these figures from reading their work and reading about them. It's a fantasy and it's not a biopic. So I had a few months and I just read and read and read and read to the point where I became pretty obsessed with Hemingway and trying to read anything else just seemed fluffy and baroque and silly. Then, I sort of forgot I was doing a comedy and I showed up on set and I actually think that was good for me, that it made the part easier to play because he doesn't know, the character doesn't know he's in a comedy. I think I learned a lot going forward in doing comedy in terms of where you put your focus and sort of honestly portraying the character, maybe even a little a bit too seriously can often be really.
It's really interesting that he chose Green Hills of Africa as a specific text for you to read. What do you think it was about that book in particular that he wanted to impart to you?
Stoll: It covered any sort of biographical thing, because it is supposedly non-fiction, but it's also the most over the top macho of his work. It's past his more literary early phase where he was still all about discovering this new style and had his first few sort of loss of innocence stories in The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms. He was sort of in his full, almost icon of masculinity. The whole book is about proving to himself and the reader just how ridiculously masculine he is. I think that's what it is. It's a lot of his best writing, but just a little overripe. You know, just a little too Hemingway.
I understand that nobody other than Owen Wilson had a full copy of the script.
Stoll: Yeah.
Was that helpful for you, especially since you felt like you sort of forgot it was a comedy? Did it help?
Stoll: Yeah, I think so. I think for some of the other characters whose lives sort of continue throughout the movie, it may have been more difficult. For me, especially because it was playing such a self-centered, narcissistic, egotistical person – the rest of the world doesn't really exist once he's not there – I think that's helpful. Normally, in a part, you're trying to get as much of a holistic sense of what the piece is that you're doing, but I think when you're playing somebody who is comically self-absorbed, it doesn't hurt to just focus on your own thing.
I talked to Michael Sheen, and he said it was helpful because he didn't have to play it with any subtext or motivation beyond what was right there.
Stoll: Right, right. That's great.
How long were you actually in Paris shooting this part?
Stoll: I was there for like three weeks. I had a lot of free time, which was fantastic.
Did that help you get into the expatriate mindset at all?
Stoll: Absolutely. My girlfriend and I – and actually my parents showed up, which was actually a lot of fun – we went on four or five different walking tours. There was like a Hemingway walking tour and a lost generation walking tour and she went on that with me and was actually quite upset when she realized it was still mostly about Hemingway. [laughs] At a certain point, I was there by myself and would just take long walks by myself. I got a little ridiculously into it, but I would listen to John Slattery's reading of A Farewell to Arms, the audiobook as I took epic walks through Paris.
That's awesome.
Stoll: Yeah, it's somewhat too too. It's a little masturbatory in terms of getting into the whole thing, but I think a lot of why the movie is being so well received is because so many people share that fantasy and that romanticism for that city and that sort of state of being, that independent romantic worldview.
As you said, the movie's been insanely well-received. When I saw it, I had seen you before on Law and Order: LA, but had no idea that it was you in the movie. It didn't compute for me at the time. Have you found, with the movie's success, that's leading to opportunities for people to see as a character who's not like Tomas Jaruszalski? Has that been happening so far?
Stoll: Yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely. I definitely think it's opened up the way people see me. In theater, people are expecting transformation, and so I've always been more of a sort of a leading man in theater than I have in film and television. I mean I hate to...those distinctions between leading man and character actor, I think, are really old-fashioned and don't really mean anything anymore, but I still think that often there is this sense of, "Okay, well, you can either be this sort of blue collar-y cop or robber or you're somebody who can be romantic or something." Hopefully, and already in the meetings I've had, the way people have been looking to cast me, it's opening up, which is fantastic. And also just in terms of, even though my character had a great sense of humor in Law and Order, there is this sense, often, that there's people who can be funny and then there's people who can't. I think I showed that I can be funny, hopefully.
I read in an interview that though you're interesting in continuing to make movies aimed at adults, you'd also be interested in appearing in a superhero movie. So often there's a reluctance to engage with genre material, and I was curious where that impulse comes from for you and if there's any specific superhero for you?
Stoll: [Laughs] Well, I sort of feel like all the superheroes have been taken at this point. They're going down the list now, to the C-list and D-list superheroes. But you know, when I was a kid, I was super-into comic books. In fact, my little sort of scrapbook-wall when I was a kid, there was Spider-Man right next to Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese. So I was both sort of a film nerd and a comic book geek and, you know, like everybody in my generation, really into Star Wars. I sort of started reading comic books after Frank Miller and Alan Moore had sort of broken open that superhero thing where it wasn't just about primary colors and guys slugging it out. There was some real psychological depth and I think, in some ways, the types of stories and the types of characters were opened up in a way in comic books that they weren't in most popular films, actually. And I think there was a complexity and a darkness to a lot of those things that I really related to, that you could only really find in, like, Scorsese movies. So I still really feel connected to that stuff, even though I don't read comic books as much as a used to. It was a combination of incredibly fun stories, but also with the possibility of having some psychological depth and I think the better superhero movies have that. Certainly like Michael Fassbender in the latest X-Men, that's a performance that could be in any movie and would hold up, not just a superhero movie.
Dr. Stange. I think Doctor Strange could be your guy.
Stoll: Oh, yeah, yeah. I would love that. I'm not as familiar with him, but I've read a few.

The United States will temporarily deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to the Deveselu base in Romania this summer, when the Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense site will undergo a long-planned update.
"The THAAD unit will be under NATO operational control and the full political control of the North Atlantic Council. It will only remain operational until the Aegis Ashore Romania site is back online. The update and deployment are expected to last several weeks," NATO said in a press release.
NATO also said that the update scheduled to take place this summer will not provide any offensive capability to the Aegis Ashore missile defence system at Deveselu.
"In accordance with NATO's Ballistic Missile Defence system, the THAAD unit will be focused on potential threats from outside the Euro-Atlantic area. Aegis Ashore Romania is purely a defensive system," the same press release reads.
The Aegis Ashore system in Romania is a component of the NATO missile defense system, under the operational control of Allied military authorities. According to the Romanian Ministry of Defense, the THAAD defensive system that will be temporarily deployed to Romania will have the same goal as the Aegis Ashore system, i.e. to defend NATO's population, forces and territory in Europe against ballistic missile threats originating from outside the Euro-Atlantic space.

OxPropFest 2019: Programme of Walks and Talks
On the day of OxPropFest 2019 first of all there were two walks organised which visited Oxford property and Bicester Village. The Walks were designed to provide walking delegates with a feel of some the capital spend planned in Oxford and how Bicester has become a world class brand and place.
The afternoon saw four talks held at Keble College, Oxford which discussed key projects and opportunities across Oxfordshire. The Oxford to Cambridge Arc investment plans were explored by a key speaker from Bidwells then a panel including representative from OxLEP answered a range of intriguing questions from the audience.
An update on the Milton Park 2040 vision was given by Philip Campbell where he then invited guests to an event on 23 May to find out what shape will it look like, what transport methods will tenants be using and as a result, if Milton Park will have to re-shape as a mixed-use scheme.
Finally, other talks covered the motor sport industry in Oxfordshire, fast growing occupiers need for space and finally the new shape of Oxford.

FEEDBACK'S spies are much irritated by being force-fed with martial
Muzak at Waterloo Station as they plod reluctantly to work. Late last month
when it was revealed that Britain was falling behind in international innovation,
the choice of tunes such as Land of Hope and Glory and the theme from The
Dambusters seemed singularly inappropriate – unless the latter was a special
request from Nicholas Ridley.
Setting aside the questions of whether commuters want Muzak first thing
in the morning, and what British Rail is trying to achieve, we offer the
usual tenner for the best printable suggestions of tunes that would better
suit the commuters' mood and the state of the nation.
Here's three for starters: Ludwig van Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata;
Bessie Smith's Down in the Dumps and Ray Charles's Hit the Road Jack (and
don't you come back no more).

LATE-night-meetings are all the rage at the strife-torn Natural History
Museum, faced with the loss of 100 jobs, as management and staff try to
outmanoeuvre each other.
So what were director Neil Chalmers, the associate director and the
museum secretary doing in the porters' lodge at 9.15 one evening last month?
Watching the World Cup, since you ask.
* * *
THIS is the final mention of the World Cup. During the tournament three
of Europe's best tenors, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti,
gave an outdoor concert in Rome to divert the soccer fans from more humdrum
Later this month Decca is issuing the concert recording – to be called
Top Tenors – on both audio and video. Unfortunately Carreras's rendition
of one number was drowned out by a low-flying aircraft. So Decca, which
had also recorded the rehearsal, stitched in the appropriate notes and removed
the unwanted noise.
The video was more of a problem, because Carreras had blown a sardonic
kiss at the passing plane. So to make sense of this Decca dubbed back in
some aircraft noise. The tune to look out for is Lamento di Federico.

NATIONAL Power, aged 1, has just appointed one Sarah Hiscock, aged 29,
as its regional environmental officer, to burnish the state-owned firm's
all-important image in the run-up to privatisation of the country's largest
single generator of acid rain.
The press release announcing the appointment terms Hiscock as 'a woman
in a man's world'. Maybe the image needs a little adjustment, unless the
company is interested in selling its scrip only to men.

WE HAVE long suspected that nine out of ten journalists can't tell the
difference between dying of skin cancer and the greenhouse effect.
Proof positive comes from The Independent. Apparently the new European
Fighter Aircraft may have an engine fuelled by hydrogen. 'A hydrogen based
engine would not emit carbon dioxide, which depletes the earth's protective
ozone layer.'
THE BBC's radio interviewers have a nice way of shutting up boring studio
guests. As the item is being recorded the producer says to the interviewer
'we're in danger of the mego effect'. The guest is promptly shifted onto
another subject – or the pavements of Portland Place.
Guests haven't a clue what the mego effect is, and are too embarrassed
to ask. However, Feedback can disclose that mego stands for 'my eyes glaze
GRICERS' corner: Feedback's man at the end of the platform with green
anorak, notebook in hand, and a faceful of acne reports that British Rail
in Scotland is having trouble with its Class 321s.
The problem is that the 321s were designed to be operated by the driver
alone, without a guard. In the old days the guard would close the doors
and wave off the train with a green flag and the driver would know it was
safe to leave.
British Rail has decided to keep guards on the 321s. However, these
trains have the button for closing the doors in the driver's cab. So guards
now have to signal with their visual communication equipment (a green flag)
before the driver can push the button to close the doors. Such is progress.

GREAT experiments of our time: the picture, according to Associated
Press, shows a cow wearing an aluminium shield, developed in Japan. The
idea is that the cows can spend more time in the sun outside eating grass
and so produce more milk.
Just one small snag: the apparent lack of the requisite apparatus on
the experimental animal. (Picture of Bull omitted)

The companies say that this combination creates one of the largest and most advanced media platforms in the location-based media space. As part of the transaction exhibitor National CineMedia and venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers will each hold a minority interest in the new company. In making the announcement Aileen Lee Danoo CEO said "We're thrilled about this strategic combination of our talented teams and the broad array of world-class partnerships supporting us. IdeaCast is a company with incredible momentum and we believe its Captive TV proposition represents one of the most compelling advertising opportunities for marketers looking to engage their increasingly on-the-go consumer base. The addition of IdeaCast's networks allows Danoo to offer advertisers deep nationwide scale along with the ability to bring relevant digital media to a desirable consistent audience at key points in their day. With industry leading investors like NCM the country's leader in digital cinema media and KPCB who have helped scale entrepreneurial ventures like Amazon Netscape and Google Danoo is in a terrific position to build a new type of digital media opportunity." Kurt Hall NCM CEO added "This transaction furthers our original IdeaCast investment strategy to create a location-based media incubator that may one day provide an additional growth engine for NCM. This new larger unique platform will offer media buyers the combination of nationwide reach and the ability to narrowly target messages to specific geographic locations. As location-based digital media is still overly fragmented this combination is an important step in our effort to bring greater national reach and more standardized buying metrics to the media community." The assets acquired by Danoo had been previously acquired by NCM from the original IdeaCast entity. The new Danoo corporate entity will continue to operate and sell advertising across its digital media networks under the Danoo and IdeaCast brands.

AMIR KHAN has ended his feud with Eddie Hearn and agreed a bout at Liverpool's Echo Arena on April 21.
The 31-year-old has signed a sensational three-fight deal with Matchroom, after he admitted he "doesn't like" Hearn last year, but now the pair have made up.
Khan has not fought since his devastating sixth-round KO defeat to Canelo Alvarez back in May 2016 - and after a stint in the jungle the Bolton boxer is ready to return to the ring.
Khan held a press conference in London today where he outlined the finer details of his working relationship with Hearn.
Famously, before the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight, Khan spoke of his dislike for Hearn.
He said last year: "The only way I would take that Brook fight is if he left Eddie Hearn. I just don't like Eddie Hearn."
But the pair appeared to have buried the hatchet as "King Khan" sets out his path back to challenging for world titles with three bouts before the end of the year.
Khan said: "It's great to be here, we have decided to put everything behind us now.
"This is where I belong, The UK. It's time to win titles again.
"It's great to be back with sky, I had some of my best times with them.
"I'm really excited for the next couple of years. I'm feeling fit and strong and I can't wait to get back in the ring."
Hearn added: "It was great to see his desire, he has desire to win titles.
"The plan is to box three times this year, and of course the big names are out there.
"There's Adrien Broner, Kell Brook, Manny Pacquiao, it's gong to be very, very exciting.
"There will be further announcements on the opponent and show next week.
"Hold on to your hats."
Khans father Shah said: "Amir said he wants the best team behind him, and with Eddie he has got that."


text: Creativity Audi Says 'Intelligence Is the New Rock and Roll' in Latest Ads for the A4 Set to Iggy PopBy David Gianatasio|March 17, 2016 Share By David Gianatasio|March 17, 2016 Share Would Iggy Pop drive an Audi? If the seminal proto-punk rocker got one free for lending his 1973 head-banger "Search and Destroy" to the soundtrack of the automaker's new campaign from Venables Bell & Partners, then, yes, he probably would. "Intelligence is the new rock and roll" is the tagline for the work, which touts the 2017 Audi A4, playing up the car's performance, design and technology features. "The idea of equating rock 'n' roll with the new world of technology felt very fresh to us," Loren Angelo, director of marketing at Audi of America, tells AdFreak. "These inventors and thinkers are the new disrupters. They are the people we all want to be. What's more rock 'n' roll than that?" Check out the cascading images, set to Iggy's throbbing beat, in the :60 anthem here: Hmm … mostly footage of the A4, a band playing and shiny tech stuff. Plus a Wired magazine cover, a high-school football game and what looks like a Mars probe landing. Sort of a random mix, and standard quick-cut approach, though well shot by Park Pictures director A.G. Rojas, and impressively propelled by the choice of music. The next spot illustrates that much of the technology used in Audi Pilotless Vehicles also powers the A4: That driverless car is pretty cool, and the straightforward voiceover helps focus the message (which, frankly, drifted a bit in the previous commercial). Finally, playful visuals emphasize how Audi's cutting-edge tech provides a personal touch: "Today's cultural icons are pushing boundaries with ideas," says Angelo. "Music has always had the power to create culture, and now, so does technology." Fair enough, though the whole rockin' car thing has been done before, most famously by Cadillac and Led Zeppelin. Likewise, Iggy's "Search and Destroy" worked better for Nike. (At least Audi spared us from more commercial choruses of the man's awesome but overused "Lust for Life.") All in all, while the A4 itself may encompass rad innovations, the campaign feels a tad too generic and familiar. That leaves Audi, for all its sonic swagger, miles away from punk and stalled in the middle of the road. See some :15s from the campaign below.

Check out the latest road meet info for one nearyour home
You'll be driving though an area that's called the Grand Canyon of the North.
Is there anything I should know about that stretch of U.S. 6? Will I run into any slowdowns headed eastbound out of Cleveland on a Friday morning? What about in Pennsylvania... any construction or slowdowns? Also, is the route scenic?
US 6 only clips the north end of the "Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania" at Ansonia. PA 414 and PA 44 run through it farther south.
US 6 is incredibly slow. Multiply Google's time by at least 1.25.
While I havent driven US 6 border to border in my home state, the sections I have driven have not piqued my interest. Actually to the contrary, I have heard reports from a number of people who said that the drive was not particularly scenic or rewarding and simply wasted their time.
I mean it doesn't have to be the PCH to be exponentially more interesting than I-80.
Quote from: Alps on February 18, 2015, 09:51:13 PMUS 6 is incredibly slow. Multiply Google's time by at least 1.25.That's unusual. Unless something has changed, I've found Google to vastly overrate the time, even on two-lane routes.

Four civilians were injured on Monday as a blast rocked Jalalabad city, the capital of Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province, provincial government spokesman Attaullah Khogiani said.
The blast targeted a vehicle in Jalalabad city at around 11:00 a.m. local time, wounding four civilians.
Without providing more details, the official said that investigation had been initiated into the incident, adding the details would be shared with media after completion of the investigation.
A bomb blast in Afghanistan's eastern Ghazni province on Sunday had claimed six lives and injured more than 180 others.

Introduction: Mini Chamfer Plane Mod (from Harbor Freight Mini-plane)
Hello again!
So I went down to Harbor Freight a while back and saw a set of 3 mini-planes and picked them up, mainly out of curiosity. The set contained mini block, scraper, and bullnose planes, but I had really only used the block up to this point.
Now, like most other Harbor Freight tools, they need to be 'fixed' before they can be properly used. In this case, it was just a matter of sharpening the blade. Afterwards, the plane cut just fine.
Later, I thought to try out the other two, but then realized that instead of a bullnose, somehow a second block plane was packed into the set. Having taken so long to open the rest of the package, my return period had expired. Now having a spare plane that I knew I wouldn't use, I decided to alter it to make it a bit more useful. Now follows my (short) process for turning it into a chamfer plane.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Tools and Materials
-Mini Block Plane (to be converted)
-Router Table (homemade will work)
-V-Groove Router Bit
-Small Triangular File
- n/a
- n/a
Step 2: Preparation
In order to run the plane through the router safely you'll have to remove the blade and chip breaker, and if you're the cautious type, the knob on the front as well. It should come out fairly easily, but you may have to twist it to get it going.
Step 3: Router Table
Install the v-groove bit into the router table to make a 1/8th inch deep cut, making sure it's nice and snug. Set the fence so that the tip of the bit lines up with the center of the plane.
With the fence set, place the plane against it near the router bit opening in the table, and clamp a guide block (STRAIGHT cut-offs will do) against it, parallel with the fence. This will keep the cut on target, if you think you'll need the extra support.
Step 4: Groove
At this point, you should have a workable groove that will ride fairly well on the edges of your wood. Again, the final depth doesn't really matter, as long you still have room to adjust (and lock down) your blade.
Ideally, with this plane you don't want to go much deeper than I did, or you won't be able to set your blade in a position that will keep it in place. I would suggest creeping up on your final depth.
Step 5: Filing Back the Chip-breaker
Now, I kind of just dove right into this, so I ran into a slight snag. Due to the groove being cut in the plane, the blade was meeting the wood much higher in the body of the plane, whereas it would normally contact underneath the plane. In order to keep shavings from piling up inside the plane, I had to clear away some of the metal on the chip-breaker.
I first filed a v-shaped groove into the bottom end (shown here at top), and then, presumably because I had the main groove so deep, had to to file off some more metal off the end. Depending on how deep you route the first groove, you may not have to do this part!
Step 6: Final Product
Reattach the hardware, and there you have it! A neat little miniature chamfer plane, just for you!
I hope you enjoyed this little 'ible, and if you give this a try, let me know how it turns out.
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time!
Feel free to comment below! =)

I thought you made the whole planes. The irons in those planes are really any good? I just picked up a pair of Stanley 101 trim planes on Friday myself. I paid 75 cents a piece for them. One is even Sweetheart marked.
Of course the file uploader is not working on this site. It works here though
I don't think I will be dadoing either of those planes out though.
Nope, just made a modification. =P
Actually, I can't imagine that the irons are any good, expecially compared to "real" ones, but they didn't complain too much when putting a pretty little chamfer on the edges of a maple mallet I just made! =)
Deng, those little planes you got look nice! Were they any good? Also, when in the heck did you get them for THAT little? =0?
Thanks. I think they're nice. Nice enough to shell out a buck and a half for the pair of them. I got them the day before I posted my first comment. That was a Saturday. I'd picked up everything in that picture on the 2nd, and 3rd. It was a haul picture for the two days. I go to a lot of yard sales and flea markets looking for deals. Occasionally I'll run across something decent too.
I've got one of these "slickplanes" to round off my edges. I think if you reverse or change the blade it does a chamfer but I have never taken it apart...yet. I guess you could also cut a round profile in the blade to do a radius cut edge treatment. It's rough getting it started on endgrain though as it will tear out the end if you don't ease it in the other direction first.
I have the same "slickplane" since 15 years or more (it was called "radius plane" if my memory serves me well, and was manufactured in Stockton Ca.) : this company proposed either a round shaped cutter or a bevel shaped one.
Shape is the same, but it was made of maple (I guess).
I do not see the use of buying a plane and ruining it as you can buy an other model that has been designed for its initial purpose
In case of "cheaper import" tools, you are not ruining it when you do a mod but either elevating it or fixing it to do what it was intended to do. I got my slickplane so long ago I forgot where but it was something I saw in a specialty mail order catalog "before the internet" and it seemed reasonably priced, maybe it was used by Norm Abrams on TV. You don't really know about these things going up and down the Home Depot or Lowe's aisles.
Oh ! OK then…
Sorry I made a fool of myself !…
No, I don't see why nor any offense intended. The cool thing about instructables is seeing how necessity is the mother of invention or how many times independent thought can come up with something but someone already has it out there...and making money off of it.
Great mod. Thanks. I too wander into HF on occasion for no rational reason. Maybe it's the authentic Chinese industrial aroma.
Nice pictures, but having trouble scaling the depth of your groove. About 7/16ths?
"Authentic Chinese industrial aroma." I've been trying to figure out what to call that for years! =D
Oh yeah! Thanks for the catch! Actually, mine came in at 1/8", but I didn't exactly aim for that. I kind of winged-it really.
The notch in the blade was so unexpected. I thought you were going to leave the blade straight, so it would put a 45 degree chamfer onto a square edge.
Ohh, ne'ermind. I figured it out! Nice!
Nice solution!
Thanks! It would have just gone unused had I not done this. =P
Very nice modification. You just gave me a reason to go to Harbor Freight, (like I really need one) How would you do the round over version of this plane?
Keep up the good work!!!
Haha, I know right? I'm going there in about half an hour myself. =P
Let's see, you could probably get away with using the same construction as this one, but you may want to think about grinding a rounded profile in the blade, rather than leaving it flat/chisel-edged.
If I had an extra blade lying around, I would definitely try that out!

Some time ago I posted about the F recension of the Liber Genealogus and the possibility that it might either have originated in Oviedo, Spain or that the lost library of the Cathedral of Oviedo might have been a bottleneck through which both existing versions of the F recension (one in Florence, one in the Escorial library in Madrid) could have passed.
Theodor Mommsen offered a hint there might be a third codex in Madrid, a 16th-century paper manuscript seen by Knust, which contains the so-called Corpus Pelagianum. In his MGH volume on chronicles, Mommsen quoted the old call number for the item, T.10. Through the kind assistance of Professor Jose Carlos Martín of Salamanca, I learn that this item is now shelved as MSS/7089.
To see the bibliographic record in the National Library of Spain manuscript catalog, do a call number search entering the search term "MSS/7089". The OPAC result refers the reader to the printed catalog (PDF cat) which shows that the codex contains a 112-folio copy of the Corpus Pelagianum. The cataloger considers it to be a copy of MSS/1513 (PDF cat) in the same library, which contains 28 items, none of them, as far as I can see from their descriptions, being the Liber Genealogus.
It seems to me that Mommsen laid a false trail here, mentioning Knust only because Knust had vaguely noted that there were genealogies in this codex. I have not checked this further, but suspect that T.10 does not contain the Liber Genealogus. It seems likely that of half a dozen codices with the Corpus Pelagianum, only the Escorial codex contains this book.
Mommsen's False Trail?

The parasitic and proximity effects in multidie insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules lead to nonuniform distributions of junction temperature (TJ) and case temperature (TC) among different dies. This feature can be used to monitor the operating and health condition of multidie IGBT modules. This paper reports a comprehensive study on the distribution of TC and its influence on TJ estimation using a thermal network model for a multidie IGBT module before and after aging. Specifically, experimental studies using accelerated aging tests are conducted for a 9-die IGBT module. Results demonstrate that the TC at the position close to the package side and terminal lead should be used to estimate TJ for condition monitoring of the multidie IGBT module. Moreover, the variation of TC and nonuniformity of the TC distribution can be used as indicators for health condition monitoring of the multidie IGBT module.

Shchukarev's forgotten logical thinking machine
I'd never heard of Professor Shchukarev and his "logical thinking machine," a device able to mechanically make simple logical conclusions based on input assumptions, until I was asked to advice The Moscow Polytechnic Museum on its new computing exhibition. The logical thinking machine was an improvement on the "logic piano" devised by the English logician William Stanley Jevons. On Saturday, April 19 1912, in the big auditorium of the Polytechnical Museum, Professor Shchukarev gave a public lecture on the topic of "Cognition and thinking." The lecture included the demonstration of his logical thinking machine, "a device that can reproduce mechanically the human thought process, i.e. to deduce conclusions based on given assumptions. The machine was first built by the mathematician Jevons and improved by the author of the lecture. The machine shows its results in plain word form." The machine was lost during the chaos of World War One and the Russian Revolution. You can find a full history of this remarkable machine here.

According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, a 90-year-old man suffered fatal personal injuries on April 5 while attempting to cross U.S. 15-501 just south of Aberdeen.
Trooper K.J. Evans said that the accident took place shortly after 6 a.m. He said Aberdeen resident R.C. Styers was using a walker for support and had crossed the northbound lane of the two-lane highway.
As Styers was crossing the southbound lane, he was struck by a 2009 Chrysler van driven by 76-year-old Dundee, New York resident James Joseph Gehl. Gehl said he attempted to avoid Styers, but was unsuccessful.
Evans said that at the time of the accident, Gehl was traveling at a rate of 45 mph, which is the posted speed limit for the area.

In the circus of my dreams
the unicorns are are prancing, rearing up,
flashing their rainbowed hooves,
pointing with their golden horns,
with their unique golden horns.
Then, ridden by Leprechauns,
they're dancing round and round
the circle of the ring.
Kicking up the gold dust ground
from their droppings into
shimmering sawdust.
In the circus of my dreams
there is a rainbow.
A rainbow which has painted
their hooves with it's light
as they climbed their way up
and slid their way down
to the crock of gold at the end.
Time for the little people to dismount
and mould the gold into hearts of love.
Time for the unicorns to use the gold
to nurture and replenish
their golden horns, their unique
golden horns.

Hi all! Hopefully from time to time I will post things that I find interesting to this blog, such as research ideas, problems I run into, and material from classes I am taking.
The three primary classes I am currently taking are Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics 1, and Mathematical Methods in Physics. I am also taking three one-credit introductory classes (Intro. to Astrophysics, Intro. to Condensed Matter, and Intro. to Atomic Physics), and a one-credit Science Writing class.
As a bit of trivia, this site actually originated as a project for the Science Writing class.

Inspired by the impressive N95, the Nokia N96 is even smarter. It is a true multimedia computer phone.Slimmer than its older brother (18mm compared with 21) and with smooth and curved edges, the N96 is a sleek dual slide handset that fits well in your hand and your pocket. The navigation keys located below the excellent 2.8 inch display only stick out slightly and will be familiar to Nokia lovers.The dual slide functionality allows you to change the phone depending on what you are using it for. Sliding the face of the N96 forward gives you access to the T9 numeric keypad for typing and calling, while sliding it backwards reveals a set of music player control keys. This motion also automatically reorientates the screen to landscape mode, the preferred layout for Nokia's inbuilt music player.

Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has been hit with a misconduct charge by the FA.
The charge relates to the Instagram he posted after City's recent 2-1 win over Burnley.
Fernandinho was sent off for Pep Guardiola's side during the first half, leading French international Sagna to post that the game had been '10 against 12' - before he subsequently deleted it.
Sagna had been asked to explain his comments and apologised, telling the FA that he didn't mean to cause offence.
However, with the FA taking the incident further, he faces at least a fine and a warning over his conduct - or potentially a ban, if the FA choose to make an example of the ex-Arsenal man.
A statement released by the Football Association said: "Bacary Sagna has been charged for misconduct contrary to FA Rule E3 (1).
"It is alleged that a comment posted on social media by the Manchester City defender constituted improper conduct in that it questioned the integrity of the match official and/or alleged and/or implied bias on the part of the match official, and/or brought the game into disrepute.
"He has until 6pm on 13 January 2017 to respond to the charge."
Sagna and the City squad were furious with official Lee Mason's officiating during the 2-1 win over Sean Dyche's side. Sagna's tweet declared: "10 against 12... but still fighting and winning as a team #youfreetothinkwhateveryouwant".
Apart from Fernandinho's dismissal, Mason also booked a number of City players - including Sagna.
City boss Guardiola was himself also furious after the game with Mason's officiating.
Fernandinho has completed the first of a four-game ban for his dismissal — his third in just six weeks and the Blues' seventh of the season.
* CITY are confident the paperwork issue that has held up confirmation of Gabriel Jesus ' £27m transfer from Palmeiras of Brazil will be resolved by the end of the week.
If the move is ratified by then, the 19-year-old could be named on the bench for Sunday's Premier League visit to Everton.

Rafael Devers isn't waiting around to get his "firsts" out of the way.
The Boston Red Sox rookie, playing in just his fifth major league game and third at Fenway Park, hit another milestone Sunday afternoon against the Kansas City Royals.
Devers took a 2-1 offering from Royals pitcher Jason Hammel in the fifth inning and deposited it onto the Green Monster for his first Fenway Park home run. The opposite field blast initially was ruled a double, but the umpires changed it to a home run after conferring briefly.
Devers' dinger gave Boston a two-run lead and marked the second homer of the 20-year-old third baseman's young career. After Sunday's round-tripper, Devers and newcomer Eduardo Nunez had combined for four of the Red Sox's last five home runs.
That's one way to add power before the trade deadline.

Red Alert Online Copyright Infringement in Tencent's Red Alert Online
Plokite_Wolf posted a topic in Command & Conquer NewsOn April 23rd, we reported on the announcement of Red Alert Online, a mobile game by the Chinese company Tencent. Early sources spoke of an agreement between Tencent, Electronic Arts and Aiyou Interactive Entertainment, but recent findings put the question mark on the legitimacy of the whole project. From data excavated from the game files, several instances of copyright infringement have been discovered, affecting assets from Blizzard Entertainment, Activision, Games Workshop, and even our very own modding community. Electronic Arts has yet to speak about the game at the time of writing. You can read the investigation piece here.

Head funk. Ugh. We all get it. That nasty swirl of negative, obsessive thoughts. It's like looking at the world through dense smog. It's oppressive, unhealthy, and can make your inner world feel downright uninhabitable. Fortunately though, there's a cure. And that cure is gratitude. And even more good fortune: we can touch the energy of gratitude anytime, anywhere.
Here's a little game our family invented called "The Gratitude Game". You don't need special equipment. It doesn't cost a dime. All you need are your working senses and an open heart. The rules are pretty simple: You have one minute to look out into the world and identify as many things as you can to be grateful for. (continued below)
But you can't be general or abstract. You have to look out into the world and see reasons to feel grateful. And it doesn't matter how small they are. Of course there are big things like health, food, a roof over your head. But there are small things too: like the color yellow on daffodils; like the breeze blowing; like the sound of that breeze moving through the trees. Like the smell of the air just before rainfall.
And you don't have to limit yourself to nature. How about if you were driving in your car and playing The Gratitude Game? Lines painted in the center of the road. Traffic lights that work. Gas in the car. Your cup holder. Enough change for the meter.
The point is to train your mind to witness as many reasons for gratitude as fast as it can. When your mind is humming with gratitude, the smog of Head Funk can clear pretty quickly. And you'll find that within the space of 60 seconds, you'll feel can breathe again.

(From miadhu.com.mv) – Maldives Fishermen Union has revealed that the decline in the shark and dolphin population in Maldives waters is due to the increase in long line fisheries activities. This was revealed in a letter sent to fisheries and agriculture minister Hussain Hilmy by the Fishermen Union. According to the Fishermen's Union the letter was prompted by numerous complaints received from various tourism oriented organizations on the steady decline of sharks and dolphins in country's waters.
According to the letter this matter can only be resolved by bringing an end to the long line fisheries or by banning long line fishing in the country and banning exports of shark fins.
"The sad fact is that millions of sharks have been killed in the recent past. The concern here is not only the decline of shark and dolphin population in the country's waters but also its adverse effects on the country's economy. We are at the stage where the citizens are hardly able to get any fish for sustenance. The decline in sharks and dolphins will affect the fish catch, as the undeniable truth is that decline in sharks and dolphins will affect the sizes and the number of fish schools. We, the Fishermen Union believes that the only way the matter can be resolved is banning long line fisheries in Maldives without further research and any further delay. We the Fishermen's Union on behalf of all the fishermen in the country calls on the government to bring an end to long line fishing with any further delay in order to resolve the issue" the letter signed by fishermen union's chairman Ibrahim Manik stated.
Further the union expresses concern over the inability of the ministry's researchers to reach a conclusive decision on the matter and called on the ministry to include experienced fisherman and technical experts in the research team.
The letter said the primary target of the fishermen union is to introduce a ban on long line and fishing in Maldives which the union claims is making the fishermen and their families starve. Further the letter noted that the ban of net fishing must remain in place.

text: Butch said he was going to start this in 2012...I have waited and waited...can't wait any longer. Please note, in the grand tradition of The Fall, any mistakes and misinformation are part of the charm and obviously deliberate Given the catalogue is all over the place and if we just did the albums we would miss loads of classic tracks then I think the best thing to do is just every release in date order! It's a daunting catalogue for anyone new to the band, where would you start, but it is full of treasures and amazing music. The Fall are quite possibly my favourite band of all time. How do you start to describe them without falling into the same old clichés? They are kind of unique and exist in a world of their own, although being part of the Punk scene, the Post-Punk scene, Indie, Alternative...they were always different to the rest of those bands. IMO the most interesting and brilliant group to ever exist! We start then with their very first appearance on record, from June 1978: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Circuit:_Live_at_the_Electric_Circus A 10" live album which documented the last nights of the famous Electric Circus club in Manchester (which a recreation of can be seen in the film 24 Hour Party People I think). The album itself I think is great. It features a very early Joy Division, Steel Pulse, The Buzzcocks, The Drones and John Cooper Clarke, but without doubt the two best things on there are the two Fall tracks - Last Orders and Stepping Out, both of which are unique to this release. Already sounding very much like 'The Fall' both songs are very good, Stepping Out perhaps the better, which really rocks. It's a very basic sound but works incredibly well, and is captured brilliantly on the record. I think I remember reading that a forum member was at the gig (would have loved to be there myself). Before this album was released there had been a Peel session aired, and they had also appeared on Tony Wilson's local music show.

Activity Based Costing – Sales Reengineering
This 3rd generation fire and safety protection distributor with over 6,000 customers had robust sales but only generated thin margins. While sales were robust, customer churn was rampant due to a poor customer service culture. Each division had their own sales team which created a high cost of sales that also inhibited cross-division selling opportunities.
PAI reengineering efforts identified analyzed the organizations large new construction sales focus. As it turned out, new construction ground-up opportunities were complex, had lengthy investment cycles and required excellent project management which was a financial shortcoming of the organization.
PAI incorporated an Activity Based Costing methodology across the organization — breaking out profitability by product/service and sub-product/service lines. This process also determined their true fully-loaded costing rate was too low but customers absorbed the pricing increases. The process also illuminated the accurate roll-up of net profit and streamlined the sales commission process.
Due to the accounting Profit and Loss by division, management was unaware of how the product lines performed. This was a major management paradigm that was only overcome after numerous ABC quarterly profitability report-out meetings endorsed by the CFO.
PAI then recommended and implemented a restructured sales force focused on selling across the enterprise and focusing on higher margin sales. The implemented strategy was to sell (lead) the company out of low margin and high-risk sales in New Construction from -3% margin to ~45% Service and Inspection Service Line sales. This required a large shift in resources being reassigned from New Construction to Service as New Construction projects wound down and Service Sales ramped-up over a three year period.
This process also determined and focused on the New Construction sweet spot, projects under $50k. New Construction crews were downsized while the service department ramped-up returning the organization to profitability.
"The scrutiny that he's been able to give us, and to have us, ourselves, looking at the numbers, and looking at the products, and looking at where we allocate our capital."
"By doing that, what he's been able to do is help us, and help me as the owner, to refocus on what my business is, and where I should be spending my time. That's exactly what Steve has done, and he's done a pretty good job at it."
