10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfect, joined together in the same understanding and in the same perception.
11For it has been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by those of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12In other words, that each one of you says, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
13Is the Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized into the name of Paul?
14I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius,
15lest any should say that ye were baptized into my name.
16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas; besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} of Christ should be made void.
18For the word of the cross {Gr. stauros – stake} is foolishness to those that perish, but unto us who are saved, it is the power of God.
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the philosopher of this world? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21For in the wisdom of God, since the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe.
22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom,
23but we preach Christ crucified, {Gr. Stauroo – hung on a stake}, unto the Jews a stumblingblock and unto the Gentiles foolishness;
24but unto those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25For that which is foolish of God is wiser than men, and that which is weak of God is stronger than men.
26For look upon your vocation, brothers, that ye are not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble,
27but rather God has chosen that which is the foolishness of the world to confound the wise, and God has chosen that which is the weakness of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
28and that which is vile of the world and that which is despised God has chosen, and things which are not, to bring to nought the things that are,
29that no flesh should glory in his presence.
30But of him ye are reborn in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
31that, according as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

My husband loves to eat fruit mixed with oatmeal, bananas, peaches, and strawberries. Since I sometimes go to the free food give away, they always load us down with cans of peaches, pears, and sometimes mixed fruit. I will add the can fruit to the oatmeal. (We have the instant kind and most of the bits of fruit are small). It makes more for a satisfying and filling breakfast.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience using this online workshop? (You must critique ten stories for everyone you submit, and All-Story Extra selects two for publication).
Was the experience helpful? Were the critiques useful? Does anyone know of a person actually selling a posted story to any of the editors/agents supposedly visiting? Does posting a story to be critiqued like this mean you've given away your first publication rights? Can a story posted there then be sold/published elsewhere? (I mean in the workshop process. Obviously, if it's been selected for All-Story, that's a different issue).
Any information would be helpful.

As The Times's Patrick Healy and Jim Rutenberg pointed out in their article today, the Hollywood brawl between Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama isn't the only example of infighting. Senator John McCain has been on the attack lately against the Bush administration, especially by declaring that Donald Rumsfeld would go down as "one of the worst secretaries of defense in history." On Wednesday, Mr. McCain opened up a new line of attack on the president and leader of his own party during an appearance with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in Long Beach, Calif.
"I would assess this administration's record on global warming as terrible," Mr. McCain said.
The stepped-up critiques of the White House could signal that Mr. McCain is trying to get back on board his "Straight-Talk Express." As the Arizona Republican seeks the presidential nomination from skeptical activists, he has been reaching out to those he once criticized, such as the Rev. Jerry Falwell and expressing strong support for President Bush's troop buildup plan.
Mr. Schwarzenegger praised Mr. McCain but stopped just short of endorsing him. The Los Angeles Times's Michael Finnegan points out:
One of McCain's chief Republican rivals, Rudolph W. Giuliani, had to settle recently for a private steak dinner and cigars with Schwarzenegger in the governor's Sacramento hotel suite.
But on the San Pedro docks, Schwarzenegger offered McCain access to his usual retinue of trailing TV crews, and McCain used the opportunity to pound Bush on a number of fronts.
Tom Daschle, the former Democratic leader in the Senate, endorsed Mr. Obama.
The Democratic candidates sparred, one at a time, over Iraq at a Carson City, Nev. forum Wednesday.
Potential Primary Frontloader of the Day: Oklahoma (to January!)
The governors of Iowa and New Hampshire are set to meet to discuss their states' primary plans. Gov. Chet Culver of Iowa is reportedly concerned that the Granite State will push its primary before his state's caucus. An informal alliance between the two states fell apart last year when Iowa's Democratic Party delegation voted to let Nevada have a caucus before New Hampshire's primary.
Meanwhile, Senator John Ensign might push for Republicans to hold an early Nevada caucus along with the Democrats. And Democrats familiar with the Iowa caucuses are helping Nevadans prepare for the extra attention.

Making Prevention a Priority
October 29, 2012
by Kathy Lim Ko
Huffington Post
Prevention and wellness across the lifespan: That's the theme for this week's American Public Health Association annual meeting in San Francisco. In a time when the U.S. is facing an obesity epidemic --35.7 percent of adults and 16.9 percent of children age 2 to 19 are obese -- this couldn't be a more perfect theme. As a 30-year public health veteran, this has also become my personal mantra.
When the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation released the "F as in Fat" report last month, I was blown away by the alarming findings. Based on the report, if Americans do not change their eating and exercise habits now, then half of U.S. adults will be obese by 2030. This is frightening.

Missing or Dead, Race to Find Out!In this installment Maura and her band of friends are out to find a local man who has gone missing and once again a dead body pops up to muddy the waters in their search. This series is so well plotted and developed that you feel that you are there on the Irish harbor with them. The character development is spot on and gets more richly developed in each book. If you like a good cozy mystery and spending time in an Irish pub appeals, then this series is absolutely the right one for you!by Micky C. on February 06, 2017

The Daily Post "one-word prompt", Disappointment.
As today is the last Sunday in April for the A to Z Challenge, which I have been taking part in and enjoyed doing it, no posts needed on Sunday so I will take this chance to apologise to my readers.
It was the biggest disappointment of the challenge I never had the time to read and comment on many of the other participates that were involved in writing.
Back in February when I registered, I had no idea I would be without an internet connection while shifting from our country farm house into town.
The town-house had my computer in it which was 35 kms apart. I only spend two night's a week living there and the other five in the farmhouse, no internet.
It was just as well I had half of the posts wrote before April.
I tried setting the posts to be posted on the right day, but found it didn't work for me, maybe I needed to be a premium member.
I tweeted most of the challenges I read hoping it would help the feeling of disappointment of not having the time to comment.
In May I will be returning to my regular posts so hope I can make up for all the commenting I never did.
Love you all.

China church demolition leads to clash
AP has the story: China church demolition leads to clash.
Again -- to paraphrase -- when China finally falls to the Gospel, the world will tremble.
In full ...
Police clashed with 3,000 Christians protesting the forced demolition of a partially built church in eastern China, leaving four people with serious injuries, a human rights group said Monday.
Fighting broke out Saturday when 500 officers arrived in Xiaoshan, a district on the outskirts of the resort city of Hangzhou, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy reported.
The demolition work went ahead despite the clash, in which about 20 people were hurt, the Hong Kong-based group said.
A Xiaoshan police officer confirmed an "illegal building" had been torn down, but he refused to give his name or any details. Other local government officials refused to comment.
The official Hangzhou Daily newspaper reported an "illegal building" had been demolished Saturday but did not mention a clash or injuries. The paper said a "small number of conniving people" had backed the church's construction in defiance of Chinese laws on land use and management.
The Information Center said the demolition followed orders issued in June by the provincial government and religious affairs bureau to crackdown on "illegal religious buildings," a reference to China's tight restrictions over all forms of worship.
China permits Christians to hold services only in the Communist Party-controlled official church, and unauthorized gatherings are routinely broken up and their leaders often arrested.
The clash appears to have been one of the largest-scale confrontations in recent years between police and Christian worshippers.
Hangzhou authorities in 2003 launched a major crackdown on unsanctioned churches, destroying about a dozen and arresting or detaining large numbers of church leaders.

Monday Must Reads...HOLLOWED by Kelley York!
Not familiar with this little feature? It's simple, really. Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read (ha!).
This week's selection is a great paranormal read, and the first in what promises to be an exciting series. It's written by an amazingly talented author, whose debut novel still stands as one of my all-time favorites. If you haven't already, trust me when I say that you simply Must Read...

product description from goodreads.com
All 18-year-old Briar Greyson wanted was to figure out this whole living-away-from-your-parents thing. Apartment, steady job, cool roommate? Check. Noah, her adorable (albeit elusive) boyfriend? Check. Everything in the life of Briar was pretty good.
Then she and her roommate are attacked on their way home one night. Briar wasn't supposed to survive.
Instead, according to the two guys who saved her, she's turning into the things that attacked her: a vampire. Totally crazy and Not Okay. Now Noah's secrets are coming to light, and he wants Briar dead. Then there are the vampires who attacked Briar to lure out her sister.
Her sister...who died years ago.
(Didn't she?)
The city's body count is rising, and Briar wants to help put a stop to it. But first, she has to figure out who the real enemy is: the vampires, the boy she loves, or the sister she thought she'd lost.
This was such a fun read that paranormal lovers will enjoy!

March 8, 2014
It's 3:30am and the wind which is still howling has finally roused me from a restless sleep. I have to pee but it's cold and I don't want to get up so I toss and turn for an hour. I finally give in, get up, pee and tighten all the guy-lines on the tent in a futile attempt to quiet the thunderous flapping.
7:30am, 39.7°, 1021 mbar.
I drifted in and out of sleep for about an hour after getting back in the tent. I get up about 7:30am and walk about the river bottom shooting a few photos. Soon Chris and Anna rouse and we pack and head down the road. Heading east on US 89 we'll first pass Wahweap Marina just after passing into Arizona. A few miles more and we'll cross Glen Canyon Dam and then climb the hill into Page, AZ. Our planned put-in is at Antelope Point, a few miles east of Page.
During the planning phase for the trip, I debated weather I should start at Wahweap, which is in a side-channel, or Antelope Point, which is in the main channel. A Wahweap start offers two options: one, paddle down the side-channel and join the main channel near the dam, then head up the main channel past Antelope Point; two, paddle east through the Castle Rock Cut passing from Wahweap Bay into Warm Creek Bay (another side-channel). Alternatively, I could start in the main channel at Antelope Point. The respective distances to the point where these three options meet are 4.5 miles, 15 miles and 6 miles. Unfortunately the water level is very low (3575') and the Castle Rock Cut is dry so the shortest route is not an option. The next best option is to start at Antelope Point, so that's where we're headed.
On our way through Page we stop at Safeway and pick up the last few things we forgot and then start heading out to Antelope Point to the marina. Since we aren't sure where to get the boats inspected or if we needed a backcountry permit we stop in at a kayak rental shop and talk with the clerk. He is very helpful and gave us lots of suggestions but most importantly he told us that Antelope Point was closed because the water level had dropped 6'-8' below the end of the boat ramp. So the only put-in is at Wahweap. We thanked him and backtracked back across the dam to Wahweap. I guess we're stuck with the long route.
It took us almost two hours to have the boats inspected, unload, stage and pack all our gear and get on the water but finally, we're off. Wahoo!
Another benefit of putting in at Antelope Point was to avoid the busy, narrow channels near the dam and avoid camping near a high traffic zone. Fortunately at this time of year there's not too much traffic but at the end of the day we're camped almost directly across from the Antelope Point boat ramp. Oh well, best laid plans and all that.

The unemployment rate for all Americans declined from 4.5 percent in March to 4.4 percent in April. As a result, jobless claim rate fell 0.6 percentage points in the same period. "That's an indication that the economy is expanding at a steady clip in early 2017", he said. The new unemployment numbers are the lowest in ten years, according to the Associated Press .
It's unclear if hourly factory workers are included, the Journal said. The cuts will not apply to Ford's Europe or South America units. The carmaker will emphasise the voluntary nature of the staff reductions by offering retirement incentives to salaried employees.
The C919, with over 150 seats and a standard range of 4,075 kilometers, is expected to compete with the updated Airbus 320 and Boeing's new-generation 737, which now dominate the market, the report said. Even if the C919 ends up being a superior aircraft, it will still take years for many Western airlines to consider adding the type to their fleets, Royce noted.
The Shadow Brokers said that unless a "responsible party" bought the entire cache, it would sell other tools and data stolen from the National Security Agency (NSA) "like a wine of the month club", starting next month. The Shadow Brokers has previously attempted to raise funds from its range of hacked data. The weekend's ransomware attack is only the latest in a series of trials for the agency.

text: Lick's Media Player NexGen RC-3 Fixes compatibility issues It didn't take developer Lucas too long to released yet another release candidate build of LMP-ng, getting even closer to a stable build. At this pace, this all purpose multimedia player should be out of beta shortly. RC-3 fixes the lockups that used to occur on the R4 DS& M3 SD perfect with RC-2 as well as a bug that may cause graphical corruption. These are basically the main changes over previous version. Changelog: Release candidate 1: This is mainly a bugfix release. I've fixed most bugs reported here (every one I could reproduce). MP3 playback should be much better now. I've changed the default to NOT read ID3 tags. There's some problems in the code that may cause instability. If you really want that feature, you can start the program holding A and it will be enabled, but in case you run into problems, just try disabling ID3. One new feature, new seekbar (just test to see). Now the default is to change volume on NowPlaying screen, so you have to press WHEEL_CENTER or RIGHT to get to the seekbar. Release candidate 2: Some small bugs fixed, some minor tweaks and optimizations. I've played for several hours, with no problems, tested mp3, ogg, flac and all were fine. Tested on R4 (dldi) and M3 SD (no dldi). Release candidate 3: Fixed the lockups that used to occur on the R4 DS& M3 SD perfect with RC-2. Fixed a bug that may cause graphical corruption.

Trader Joe's Opens 3 Stores in Colorado
'They' say if you've never been to a Trader Joe's, it's a real different way to shop for groceries? I've never been to a Trader Joe's, but have been perusing their website to find out why it's unlike other food stores. Here's what it said:
- √ NO artificial flavors or preservatives
- √ NO synthetic colors
- √ NO genetically modified ingredients
- √ NO partially hydrogenated oils (artificial trans-fats)
- √ NO "marketing" costs
- √ YES tasting panel approval
- √ YES quality ingredients
- √ YES great price
I found that Trader Joe's is a specialty grocer based out of California. Most all the food they sell is their own private label including gourmet, organic, imported, and environmentally friendly.
What I didn't find was any reason to switch from my King Soopers.
Trader Joe's will open 3 Colorado stores this Friday, one in Greenwood Village, one in Boulder, and a store in Denver.
According to the Denver Business Journal future stores are coming to Denver and Fort Collins.

WHEN Dave Rogers parted company with Tranmere Rovers a decade ago, he embarked upon a footballing journey that has so far taken him to clubs in England, Scotland, Holland and Ireland.
The adventure reaches a new intensity tonight when the 28 year old utility player from Walton, Liverpool, hopes to help Irish champions Shelbourne hit a jackpot in the European Champions League.
A low scoring one goal victory over Hadjuk Split at a packed Tolka Park will be enough to take Shelbourne to the final qualifying round of the European Champions League.
The Dublin team would then have to face top Spanish side Deportivo La Coruna in the knowledge that even in defeat they would be guaranteed a place in the UEFA Cup.
Rogers, into the second season of a three-year contract with Shelbourne says: "This is a massive game. We have given ourselves a real chance by scoring two away goals in the first game in Croatia.
"It was a very hostile atmosphere over there with 28,000 people very much against us. But only losing 3-2 was a good result.
"I have played in front of bigger crowds in the Scottish Premier Division with Dundee but nothing quite as intimidating as that.
"This time we will have the crowd on our side. Tolka Park should be packed with 12,000 people cheering us on."
Rogers was 18 when he learned he would not be offered professional terms by Tran-mere at the end of his two years as a youth trainee at Prenton Park in 1994.
But he earned a full time contract with third division Chester as a midfielder/defender.
Two years later Rogers moved north of the border and helped Dundee to win the Scottish first division and promotion to the Premier Division.
Then he made the journey via Ayr United and Scunthorpe to Carlisle.
During the 2001/02 campaign when Carlisle avoided their customary scrape with relegation from the third division, Rogers returned to Prenton Park for an FA Cup second round tie in December 2001.
It wasn't a happy reunion as Carlisle were beaten 6-1 and Rogers was sent off for a rash tackle.
After departing Brunton Park at the end of that season Rogers spent a year in Holland with SC Cambuur.
Rogers says the Dutch club wanted him to stay another year but the offer to join Shelbourne and the chance to play European football proved too tempting.
Also tempting was the way the Irish season is set up, with an early summer start and a break in midwinter, enabling Rogers to spend time at home in Liverpool over Christmas.
He said: "We won the Irish League last year and played in the UEFA Cup.
"This season we are about seven points clear at the top after 10 games and things are going well."
Wherever he travels Rogers has entertained team mates with his talent as a mimic, often sending up club staff. He admits however the Irish accent defeats his powers to imitate. Even so he still does a convincing Ray Mathias.

Direct Lenders No Third Party
Direct Lenders No Third Party- Go straight to the Boss
There are certain times when you may need immediate financial assistance and can't afford to wait for days or weeks for a bank loan to be approved. One of the best and fastest ways to get cash is applying for direct payday loans with guaranteed approval.
How to get an instant payday loan
Applying for instant payday loans is really easy and simple. There's no need for repetitive meetings with representatives from various lending companies before getting a loan. The number of documents you need to submit together with your payday loan application is significantly smaller compared to what you're required to submit when applying for a bank loan.
When you fill out an application for instant payday loans direct lenders, you must have a checking account with a bank where checks can be withdrawn. The loan approval process will be delayed If you refuse to provide the necessary documents as proof of employment.
Simple and easy to get payday loans
With guaranteed direct payday lenders you can borrow as much as $50 or $1500, depending on how much you need and how consistent your income is. The amount you owe is usually directly withdrawn from your savings account by the end of the repayment period. You can also make several small installment payments to slowly pay off the payday loan during the loan tenure. Managing unexpected financial situations with payday loans is now easy and fast.
What are the fees?
The interest rates for instant payday cash loans online are much higher than traditional bank loans. This is partly justified by the risk that payday lenders take in not seeking collateral from borrowers, lending money to applicants with bad credit history and only asking for basic personal information and documentation. The total costs associated with short-term payday loans could be as high as 30% of the amount borrowed.
Things you should know
There are many ways in which people with malicious intent can take advantage of you and your need for instant cash. There are things that you should know and do to protect yourself. You should always ask for a license. It's important to check this license when you're looking into a payday loan service as a licensed business must comply with state laws. You should also watch out for hidden fees and read the terms presented to you carefully before signing anything.
Make sure you're in direct contact with a payday lender. It's much easier to deal with a lending service if you can directly speak to representatives on the phone. It's important to know that though there are many dubious lending companies out there, direct lender payday loans is a great service if you can find the right company with a track record of customer satisfaction and honest business conduct.

I've been in shops where they've obviously tilted the mirror away to create an elongated trimmer looking figure, but these curved mirrors are a new one on me. Apparently a new breed of curved mirrors that give shoppers the impression they've dropped a dress size are making an appearance on our high streets… this is only my opinion - but doesn't it all seem rather like a con? How many times have you got home, excitedly clutching your new purchase, only to try it on in the comfort of your bedroom to be overcome with disappointment that it just doesn't look as good as you thought it did?
I know the retailers will argue that there's no harm in making shoppers feel more confident in the fitting room (Something that I know a lot of women don't feel when shopping) but what about when they get home? Doesn't it end up knocking their confidence even more?
Image courtesy of Michal Marcol
We should embrace the fact that we're all individual and different shapes. Every one of us has something good to show off and we shouldn't need a fancy mirror to convince us to buy something. It's just not true that to look good, we need to be slimmer; we just need to have some body-confidence.
My advice for confident shopping is to understand your body shape; I don't just mean whether you're pear, apple, hourglass or column, I mean really know your shape. Take some time to assess yourself in the mirror, be honest and don't focus on the parts of your body you're not too happy with. Try and look at your whole figure – from top to toe. What are its proportions? What are the assets you should be showing off – waist/legs/boobs, you get the idea. Now think about how you might balance out your proportions, for example if your top half is smaller than your bottom half then consider wearing clothes that will enhance your bust and broaden your shoulders, and avoid clothing that makes your bottom half appear bigger than it is(pleats and detailing around the hip area are a definite no no).
Once you start to understand your shape you can begin to balance out your proportions and most importantly, start to enhance your best bits! So, next time you go shopping and you think the mirrors are being unusually kind, ignore them. If you've picked styles that enhance your assets and balance out your proportions then you'll look fab in the fitting room and at home.
I'd love to hear your comments about magic mirrors so please do share!

The State
By Werner Sombart
It is obviously established in God's plan of the world that the destiny of mankind is to be realized within the sphere of political associations.
The political association is that in which a majority of persons seeks to defend and vindicate its existence in its totality against another majority. It rests, as Carl Schmitt has aptly expressed it, upon the friend-enemy relationship. It represents the pro-con principle in society, just as the family realizes the pro-with principle. As the family is adjusted from within, the political association is adjusted from without. If the political association owes its existence to a majority of elements which disjoin mankind, the family owes its existence to a majority of the groups. Without 'the others' there could be no political association.
The tasks in which the ideas of the political association are manifested are as follows: (1) The external maintenance of the association in its unity and composition for the struggle against other political associations; (2) the development of those inclinations, capacities, and virtues which constitute the public, and in this sense, the political person; (3) the perfection and cultivation of peculiar values for the association in respect of body, soul, and spirit. The idea of the political association presupposes, as a historically-constructed principle, the value of group-wise separation of values and their realization. The higher spiritual values, in particular, are only brought out in particular groups, that is, in the political associations, which then become the bearers of all cultural development.
In them humanity is unfolded according to its differences, but in them the individuals are also drawn together in harmonious structures. So that both humanity and the individual nature realize their consummation in these intermediate forms which then in their development and in their struggle against one another become the real makers of what we call history.
We designate the general, comprehensive political association by a new word – 'state'. But the thing is very old; the state, as we are to understand it here, is as old as mankind. All theories which give the state an 'origin' and which assume a pre-state condition are false.
In my manner of speaking [1], the state is an ideal (having ideas) association (together with family and religious association), by which I mean to say that the meaning of the state lies in the realm of the transcendental, that its purport cannot be significantly explained from an empirical, that is, 'rational' standpoint or from the viewpoint of an interest. That an individualistic-rational explanation of the state is excluded, the following considerations will show:
1. The 'origin' of ideal associations is irrational. First, in general, because they do not originate, as real associations do, but are always already in existence. Even if we regard the Puritan emigrants in America as founding a 'new' state, they did it as members of an existing association – England. But even then, if one would here speak of the 'origin' of a state, it would still not be in the sense of a rationally established association, resulting from the free decision of persons of age, since the newly established state , according to its very nature, always includes individuals who were not asked, but forced to become members: children, insane, the dead.
2. The range of problems, the peculiar kind of achievements of our association, transcend every conceivable sphere of individual interest and, therefore, do not admit of being established in its entirety by any particular interest. First of all, it is not a question of circumscribed tasks, which would be the case in every rational association, but one of endless relations. The aims lie beyond individual interests: what concern to the individual is the preservation of the species or the continuance and growth of the nation, if it implies nothing but a continuous struggle? Why should one participate in the creation of works whose completion he himself will not live to see? Why should one, as an individual, trouble oneself about the welfare of others and not only about the welfare of one's kind, whose interests one may have occasion to promote from some utilitarian consideration, but also concern oneself with the welfare of the dead, the minors, the unborn?
3. The position of the members of a political association in relation to the organization is fundamentally different from any other relation anywhere: in all other cases the position of a member constitutes a claim; in the ideal association, it is a sacrifice, and, in fact, a sacrifice unto death. But the sacrifice necessarily presupposes a super-individual something – call it an idea – for which man sacrifices himself. It is senseless to have one individual sacrifice himself for another; the mother for the child, the warrior for the civilian. The idea may be abstract: liberty, faith, science (here too, it must be anchored in the transcendental, that is, it must be a real idea, so that the sacrifice may not appear frivolous). Or it may be a concrete idea, as it is represented in an association. Then, by that very fact, this association is characterized as having ideas, that is, its meaning points beyond this world.
I do not hesitate to call this conception of the state a genuine, German conception, and I regard the opinion, now so frequently held, that the idea of the state as represented here is foreign to German nature, as false. It certainly was first very clearly proclaimed by Germans in conscious contrast with the individualistic-rational conception of the state which came from the West.
I am thinking of the time at the end of the Eighteenth Century, when Herr von Schlözer, in his Allgemeinen Staatsrecht, could write: 'The state is a device, men made it for their welfare, as they devised, among other things, fire-insurance.' At that time there arose, among the romantics, the first opponents of this subaltern state-conception, who, for the first time, with strong emphasis, opposed it with another conception, namely, the German.
Thus Adam Müller permits himself to be heard as follows: 'The state is not merely a manufactory, a homestead, an insurance association, or a mercantile society; it is the intimate union of all the physical and spiritual needs, all the physical and spiritual wealth, all the inward and outward life of a nation to a great, energetic and infinitely mobile and animated whole.'
The thoughtful statesman, Baron vom Stein, accepts this conception in almost the same words when he writes in his Memoir of November 25, 1822: The state is 'no agricultural or factory association, but its purpose is religio-moral, spiritual, and corporative development; through its organization it should form not only an artistic and industrious, but also an energetic, courageous, moral, and spiritual people.'
To permit still another romanticist to speak in this connection, I will quote Novalis to show with what depth and clarity he expressed the German idea of the state in poetic glorification, denying all that the apostles of happiness, on the other hand, had philosophized into the state in their attempt to make it an insurance company: 'All culture springs from the relations of men to the state . . . Man has attempted to make the state a cushion for indolence, whereas the state should be just the opposite. It is an armature of all activities; its purpose is to make man absolutely strong and not absolutely weak, to make him not the laziest but the most active being. The state does not relieve man of trouble, but rather increases his troubles infinitely; of course, not without also infinitely increasing his strength.'
This is the conception of the state which Fichte, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Schleiermacher, and Hegel, each incorporated in a special philosophic system and which then, gradually, under the influence of liberalistic development, grew pale. Prussian 'Conservatives' and German 'Socialists' only, remained loyal to it. I call to mind in this connection men such as Lorenz von Stein, Rodbertus, and by no means least, Ferdinand Lassalle, who in the time of the bleakest Manchester period, under the spell of his teacher, Fichte, represented the idea of the state in eloquent words, when he explained: 'The state is this unity of individuals in a moral whole, a unity which increases a millionfold the power of all individuals who are included within this union . . . The purpose of the state is, therefore, to bring the human being to a positive development and a progressive development; in other words, to bring human determination, that is, the culture of which the human race is capable, into actual being.'
'However wide a gulf separates you and me from one another, my lords!' – thus he apostrophized his judges at the conclusion of his famous defense before the Supreme Court – 'opposed to this dissolution of everything moral, we stand hand in hand! The ancient vestal fire of all civilization, the State, I will defend with you against those modern barbarians' (of the Manchester school).
To be sure, all this is true only if we regard the state not as an 'organization,' an 'apparatus,' or anything else that is formal, which is all too often the case (this perversion of the facts was precisely the trick by the aid of which liberalistic thought wished to devalue the inconvenient idea of the state), but see what it really is – a union of living persons. What it really and truly is, then, will be clear when we realize that there are three views (aspects), that is, that it appears to us, on closer examination, in a three-fold form, namely: (1) as a unity-nation-polis, (2) as an entirety-commonwealth-politeia, (3) as a multiplicity-association-koinonia.
This three-fold substantiality corresponds to a three-fold collectivity of the state: to (1) population, to (2) society, to (3) the personal orbit.
The German Reich is such a political grand-union or state at the present time. And this German Reich, and this only, is also the field of German Socialism. The idea of Socialism, as I have already said, is most closely connected with the idea of the state. And it would imply a complete departure from this idea to remove its activities to the interstate or superstate field. Since Socialism is a social order, it must confine its activities within the area of the state, that is, within the orbit in which the order is consistently placed. The concepts of Socialism and the state, therefore, necessarily belong together; Socialism is possible only within the boundaries of the state, but a unified, properly organized, strong state is also possible only on the basis of Socialism.

The KN-01 is a North Korean antiship cruise missile. It is an extended-range variant of the Soviet Union's P-15 Termit (also known as Styx and SS-N-1) as well as China's CSS-C-2 Silkworm.
KN-01 at a Glance
Originated from: China (CSS-C-2 Silkworm), Soviet Union (P-15 Termit/Styx/SS-N-1)
Possessed by: North Korea
Class: Antiship Cruise Missile
Basing: Road-mobile, potentially sea- and air-launchable
Length: 7.36 m
Diameter: 760 mm
Launch weight: 3,000 kg
Payload: Single warhead, ~500 kg HE warhead
Warhead: HE
Propulsion: solid propellant boost motor, liquid propellant sustainer motor
Range: 110-160 km
Status: Operational
The KN-01 is estimated to be 7.36 m in length, 760 mm wide, capable of carrying approximately a 50 kg high-explosive (HE) warhead, with an approximate range of 160 kilometers.1 Other reports suggest its range could be lower, at around 110 kilometers.2 Some reports have alleged that North Korea has made modifications to the missile to further improve this range, with the missile potentially capable of traveling up to 300 km, although these reports remain unsubstantiated. 3
North Korea has tested the cruise missile repeatedly. Between its first flight test in February 1993 and June 2007, it is estimated that the KN-01 was tested 10-15 times.4 Several tests have taken place since, from both the air and ground. Most recently, North Korea launched three KN-01s in June 2015.5 The missiles flew for around 26 minutes, to a range of 100 kilometers.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 62382
International characters trunc Full Name field
Last modified: 2018-06-06 10:02:24 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020314
Description of problem:
If a non-ASCII character appears in the "Full Name" field of an user, it
prenvents that any character to its right (including itself)
appears in the field.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. At installation time add an user with non-ASCII character in its full name.
In my case the user full name is "Josi Romildo Malaquias".
2. After installation (and upgrade with up2date), run redhat-config-users. I
have done that as root.
3. Read the field "Full Name" for the refered user: it is incomplete and in my
case it is just "Jos"
4. Modify the field to "AAA", for instance.
Actual Results: The full user name is incomplete: stops at the first non-ASCII
character: "Jos". After editing the field, saving and quiting the program, the
characters including and following the first non-ASCII character appears after
the new full name, as can be seen by looking at the /etc/passwd file.
Expected Results: The full user name in the field should be the seen. After
modifying the field, the new value should not come with trailing characters in
Additional info:
Hmmm...I don't see any non-ASCII chars in "Josi Romildo Malaquias", or perhaps
Mozilla isn't displaying them correctly. What chars are supposed to be non-ASCII?
Maybe Mozilla did not sent it correctly when entered the bug. The non-ASCII
character I am referring to is the fourth character of my full name. It is the
vogal e with an acute accent: i (and Mozilla turned it into an i I do not know
why). redhat-config-users just shows me the first 3 letters of my full name.
Ok, thanks. Now I have a better idea of how to reproduce it.
Ok, I can reproduce the problem, but I'm not sure if I can do much about it.
The problem is that anaconda is in GTK1.2, so it doesn't know anything about
UTF-8 encoding, so it just writes the string to /etc/passwd just the way you
typed it in.
However, redhat-config-users is now ported to GTK2, which expects UTF-8
encoding. When it sees input that isn't UTF-8 encoded, it doesn't know what to
do so it throws away the character that it doesn't understand and the rest of
the string goes with it.
I will look into this some more, but I'm afraid to make changes that might break
other languages (like cyrillic based langs).
Ok, I think I've found a reasonable fix for this problem. When I read in the
user's full name, I convert it to unicode so that gtk2 can understand it. Then,
when I write the name out, I convert it from unicode back into iso-8859-1.
This should fix the problem. Please test redhat-config-users-1.0-10.noarch.rpm
when it appears in Rawhide and make sure that this works for you. If it doesn't
fix the problem, please reopen this bug report.
Correction...try redhat-config-users-1.0-12.noarch.rpm

Re: Abernathy-Peek ancestry
In reply to:
Abernathy-Peek ancestry
Karen Renfroe 11/09/06
> From what I've looked up on the internet my Abernathy ancestors may go back to George Abernethy de Barrie of Scotland.
Negative! You may go back on this side of the Atlantic to the earliest known Abernathy, but any alleged link between any American Abernethy or Abernathy Lineage and George Abernethy of (_not_ de) Barrie was definitively disproved at least 100 years ago. Most Abernathys on this side of the Atlantic, however, seem altogether too unwilling to give up that nice cozy myth.
Bluntly, there is no documentation to support it and lots of evidence against it.

One of the most essential items in my fall wardrobe is a light scarf. I love to wear them with a pair of jeans, a simple tee and a great fall jacket. Simplicity at its best in my opinion. This fall I am loving all the vibrant colors and patterns. Summer may be over but that doesn't have to stop us from adding a pop of color to our outfits by the use of a scarf. Here are a few great options for the autumn chill.
1. Zara | 2. BP. via Nordstrom | 3. BP. via Nordstrom | 4. Loft

Symposium 4: Polymer-Derived Ceramics (PDCs) and Composites
The conversion of polymers directly to ceramics, the central theme of PDCs, offers unusual scientific and technological opportunities. The polymers can be shaped in the organic state before being transformed to ceramics. Their properties and nanostructure can be manipulated at the molecular level. Unusual porous structures can be made from them. Their potential applications range far and wide from energy and environment, to medicine, sensors, aerospace, and defense.
The objective of this symposium is to address recent developments in PDCs that include processing and shaping (as in additive manufacturing), characterization of nanostructure, new chemistries, and structural and functional properties. These attributes result from the linkage between a wide stretch of length scales, starting with chemical design of the organic molecules to the science and technology for fabricating net-shape engineering components.
Presentations that emphasize applications of PDCs in fields of energy, life sciences, defense, aerospace, and security are welcomed. Participation of young researchers is especially encouraged.
- Synthesis of advanced preceramic polymers
- Nanostructure, modeling, and thermodynamics of polymer-derived-ceramics
- Structural and functional properties
- Advanced and innovative polymer-to-ceramic conversion methods
- Advanced and innovative fabrication processes, including additive manufacturing
- Polymer-derived ceramic-matrix composites and in situ formation of nanocomposites
- Polymer-derived ceramics for energy applications
- Application of PDCs in various engineering fields

Following is a speech by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Frederick Ma, at the AIG Private Bank Hong Kong Branch Grand Opening today (May 9):
Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Allow me to begin by thanking Ed and his colleagues for inviting me to this memorable occasion which marks the official inauguration of AIG Private Bank's Hong Kong Branch.
As the Secretary looking after Hong Kong's financial sector developments, I feel particularly delighted tonight as this renowned private bank has chosen Hong Kong for establishing its first bank branch in the Asia Pacific region, which shows the bank's continued confidence in and commitment to Hong Kong, and endorses our leading position as an international financial centre in the region. I am convinced that our city, with all her strong fundamentals and promising potential, would provide a great business environment for the bank to further expand.
In the past few years I have been encouraging many foreign financial institutions to establish or expand their operations in Hong Kong, which represents a win-win situation for both the institution and the city. The AIG Private Bank's strategic move to expand its presence in Hong Kong, not in any other cities in Asia, speaks louder than words that there are enormous opportunities and potential in the Hong Kong financial market that the institution could benefit from despite the already keen competition. With world-class financial infrastructure and regulatory regime, the rule of law, free flow of capital and information, and deep and fully liberalized financial markets operating on a level playing field, Hong Kong's fundamental strengths are incomparable in the region. In respect of the asset management business in which the AIG Private Bank specialises, Hong Kong is definitely "the place" in Asia for capturing the growing opportunities in the region. Last year we abolished the estate duty, which gives all foreign and local investors the peace of mind to invest in Hong Kong. Earlier this year we passed another legislation to exempt offshore funds from profits tax, which gives another boost to the fund management industry. The recently announced measures, commonly known as QDII, and other relaxation schemes including investment by the National Social Security Fund of the Mainland will allow more and more Mainland funds to come to the Hong Kong market and make use of Hong Kong financial institutions for asset management purposes. Moreover, while the world eyes opportunities from the Mainland, the promising growth in Asia, which is predicted by the IMF to amount to 7% in 2006, deserves our equal attention. A growth rate of 6.9% per annum by 2009 is expected of the financial wealth of Asian Pacific high net worth individuals. All in all, the market for high quality financial services and products is large and growing in Hong Kong, and all it takes is to be competitive to benefit.
With the AIG Private Bank joining the Hong Kong financial market in providing quality financial and banking services, customers in Hong Kong will no doubt benefit. In fact, I believe we are fortunate to have with us a large number of similarly top notch financial institutions doing the same. The diversity of products and services offered and the presence of a critical mass have enriched our financial markets and helped position Hong Kong as a vibrant and growing international financial centre.
In closing, I congratulate the AIG Private Bank for embarking on a new phase of business here in Hong Kong where opportunities and resources are abundant, and wish the bank every success in its endeavours. I also wish you all a most pleasant evening. Thank you very much.

Hii, this is Essie's Borrowed & Blue from the 2011 Wedding Collection. I love this color, it is one of my favorite blues that I own. The application was a bit streaky, but the second coat helped smooth it out. I used it in water marbling so it was left open and got a bit thicker. I've had this one for a while and never got around to swatching it.
This was only 2 coats and no top coat.

Sort and filter of bookmaked routes
For everyone who uses our bookmarked routes feature, there's some good news! We've recently released changes that will allow you to sort or filter the list of routes you've saved through gmap-pedometer.com. And we made things better for mobile use too.
You can now sort the list of bookmarks by any field (distance, name, description, date, even the elevation fields.) It works a little differently on desktop than it does on mobile: for desktop users click the column heading, for mobile tap the name of the field the data is currently sorted by. Watch the videos below to see it in action.
We've also added the ability to filter on any field. If you want to see all your five-mile routes, just start typing "5." and all fields that don't match that will disappear. It works across all fields at once, so you can filter on name just as easily as date or distance. It's also shown in the videos.
And we build an entire separate UI for mobile users for the bookmark list. We hope you agree it'll make the list much easier to read on a tiny screen.
These features are available for any user who creates an account and uses the bookmarked route feature. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? It's free and you get a nifty workout logger too! Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
Announcing the gmap-pedometer Blog
Hello! Hi. Nice to see you, thanks for coming, everyone.
Ok, pipe down, you in the back.
Most likely you've been using [gmap-pedometer.com](http://gmap-pedometer.com) for some time to see *just* how far your runs or rides have been. Maybe you've also created an account to keep track of all of those and used our workout log too. Maybe you even popped on over to the [twitter feed](http://twitter.com/gmappedometer) and saw the lovingly curated list of [mostly] retweets.
Now we're adding a new element to the mix! this blog will contain articles of interest to the endurance fitness world. This will include a lot of things you'd expect, and hopefully some you won't. Coolest/weirdest races, running and cycling club profiles, workout tips, and plenty of similar things we have yet to dream up.
It'll also be a good place to look for news about features added or other changes to the site.
Hope you like it! Feel free to leave a comment about what you'd like to hear about (that is, uh, once I get the comments working)
