In the eighteenth century, scientific interventions with livestock animals were largely in the form of breeding or "improvement" programs. Then in the nineteenth century, those involved with animal husbandry began to
Consumption of dogs also has a history of being taboo in western cultures. A number of interrelated reasons may account for this specific taboo. First of all, dogs may not have been considered a suitable food choice because they were considered dirty and impure. Refusal to eat animals considered dirty or impure may have served to symbolically distance humans from animality; like the shift away from presenting the full animal's body at the table, not consuming "impure" animals could frame humans

They assert that improvements in animal welfare practices or standards cannot obviate the suffering animals endure by being imprisoned and killed.

Komatsu introduced a robotic dump truck
At the stand of the Japanese company Komatsu at the current exhibition Minexpo International is a unique truck. For the first time since the beginning of testing of autonomous vehicles of this class in 2008, the dump truck has turned into a full-fledged robot. The driver's cab and rear-view mirrors disappeared, each wheel received autonomous control, and the weight of the transported cargo was distributed throughout the structure.
Unlike Komatsu trucks of the latest 930E series, which are operated in Chile's quarries, a newcomer is no longer a truck. This is an "Innovative transportation machine", which does not need to unfold, it moves back and forth with the same speed and grace, does not allow fuel overrun and tire wear. And transports up to 230 metric tons of cargo at speeds up to 64 km / h.
Dimensions of the robot dumper – 15 × 8.5 m, it is equipped with a 2700 horsepower engine. Its control system is based on navigational beacons in the quarry along with its own obstacle sensors. Increased maneuverability minimizes the requirements for quality and width of entrances, and an intelligent control mechanism reduces the risk of getting into an accident .
The novelty is planned to be brought to the market in the shortest possible time.

InnoDB tablespace encryption feature
provides at-rest data encryption for
file-per-table and
general tablespace
data files. Support for general tablespaces was introduced in
MySQL 8.0.13.
Tablespace encryption uses a two tier encryption key
architecture, consisting of a master encryption key and
tablespace keys. When a tablespace is encrypted, a tablespace
key is encrypted and stored in the tablespace header. When an
application or authenticated user wants to access encrypted
tablespace data,
InnoDB uses a master
encryption key to decrypt the tablespace key. The decrypted
version of a tablespace key never changes, but the master
encryption key can be changed as required. This action is
referred to as master key rotation.
The tablespace encryption feature relies on a keyring plugin for master encryption key management.
All MySQL editions provide a
plugin, which stores keyring data in a file local to the server
MySQL Enterprise Edition offers additional keyring plugins:
keyring_encrypted_fileplugin, which stores keyring data in an encrypted file local to the server host.
keyring_okvplugin, which includes a KMIP client (KMIP 1.1) that uses a KMIP-compatible product as a back end for keyring storage. Supported KMIP-compatible products include centralized key management solutions such as Oracle Key Vault, Gemalto KeySecure, Thales Vormetric key management server, and Fornetix Key Orchestration.
keyring_awsplugin, which communicates with the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (AWS KMS) as a back end for key generation and uses a local file for key storage.
keyring_file and
keyring_encrypted file plugins are not
intended as regulatory compliance solutions. Security
standards such as PCI, FIPS, and others require use of key
management systems to secure, manage, and protect encryption
keys in key vaults or hardware security modules (HSMs).
A secure and robust encryption key management solution is critical for security and for compliance with various security standards. When the tablespace encryption feature uses a centralized key management solution, the feature is referred to as "MySQL Enterprise Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)".
Tablespace encryption supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block-based encryption algorithm. It uses Electronic Codebook (ECB) block encryption mode for tablespace key encryption and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) block encryption mode for data encryption.
For frequently asked questions about the tablespace encryption feature, see Section A.16, "MySQL 8.0 FAQ: InnoDB Tablespace Encryption".
A keyring plugin must be installed and configured. Keyring plugin installation is performed at startup using the
early-plugin-loadoption. Early loading ensures that the plugin is available prior to initialization of the
InnoDBstorage engine. For keyring plugin installation and configuration instructions, see Section 6.5.4, "The MySQL Keyring".
Only one keyring plugin can be enabled at a time. Enabling multiple keyring plugins is not supported.Important
Once encrypted tablespaces are created in a MySQL instance, the keyring plugin that was loaded when creating the encrypted tablespace must continue to be loaded at startup using the
early-plugin-loadoption. Failing to do so results in errors when starting the server and during
To verify that a keyring plugin is active, use the
SHOW PLUGINSstatement or query the
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINStable. For example:
mysql> SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE 'keyring%'; +--------------+---------------+ | PLUGIN_NAME | PLUGIN_STATUS | +--------------+---------------+ | keyring_file | ACTIVE | +--------------+---------------+
Encryption is supported for file-per-table and general tablespaces. To create a table in a file-per-table tablespace, ensure that
innodb_file_per_tableis enabled (the default) before executing a
CREATE TABLEstatement. Alternatively, use the
TABLESPACE='innodb_file_per_table'clause in
CREATE TABLEstatements. There is no similar prerequisite associated with creation of general tablespaces, which are created using
CREATE TABLESPACEsyntax.
When encrypting production data, ensure that you take steps to prevent loss of the master encryption key. If the master encryption key is lost, data stored in encrypted tablespace files is unrecoverable. If you use the
keyring_encrypted_fileplugin, create a backup of the keyring data file immediately after creating the first encrypted tablespace, before master key rotation, and after master key rotation. The
keyring_file_dataconfiguration option defines the keyring data file location for the
keyring_fileplugin. The
keyring_encrypted_file_dataconfiguration option defines the keyring data file location for the
keyring_encrypted_fileplugin. If you use the
keyring_awsplugin, ensure that you have performed the necessary configuration. For instructions, see Section 6.5.4, "The MySQL Keyring".
To enable encryption for a new file-per-table tablespace,
specify the
ENCRYPTION option in a
CREATE TABLE statement.
mysql> CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT) ENCRYPTION='Y';
To enable encryption for an existing file-per-table tablespace,
specify the
ENCRYPTION option in an
ALTER TABLE statement.
mysql> ALTER TABLE t1 ENCRYPTION='Y';
To disable encryption for a file-per-table tablespace, set
ENCRYPTION='N' using
mysql> ALTER TABLE t1 ENCRYPTION='N';
To enable encryption for a new general tablespace, specify the
ENCRYPTION option in a
CREATE TABLESPACE statement.
mysql> CREATE TABLESPACE `ts1` ADD DATAFILE 'ts1.ibd' ENCRYPTION = 'Y' Engine=InnoDB;
To enable encryption for an existing general tablespace, specify
ENCRYPTION option in an
ALTER TABLESPACE statement.
mysql> ALTER TABLESPACE ts1 ENCRYPTION = 'Y';
To disable encryption for general tablespace, set
ENCRYPTION='N' using
mysql> ALTER TABLESPACE ts1 ENCRYPTION = 'N';
Redo log data encryption is enabled using the
configuration option. Redo log encryption is disabled by
As with tablespace data, redo log data encryption occurs when redo log data is written to disk, and decryption occurs when redo log data is read from disk. Once redo log data is read into memory, it is in unencrypted form. Redo log data is encrypted and decrypted using the tablepace encryption key.
innodb_redo_log_encrypt is
enabled, unencrypted redo log pages that are present on disk
remain unencrypted, and new redo log pages are written to disk
in encrypted form. Likewise, when
innodb_redo_log_encrypt is
disabled, encrypted redo log pages that are present on disk
remain encrypted, and new redo log pages are written to disk in
unencrypted form.
Redo log encryption metadata, including the tablespace
encryption key, is stored in the header of the first redo log
file (
ib_logfile0). If this file is
removed, redo log encryption is disabled.
Once redo log encryption is enabled, a normal restart without
the keyring plugin or without the encryption key is not
possible, as
InnoDB must be able to scan redo
pages during startup, which is not possible if redo log pages
are encrypted. Without the keyring plugin or the encryption key,
only a forced startup without the redo logs
SRV_FORCE_NO_LOG_REDO) is possible. See
Section 15.20.2, "Forcing InnoDB Recovery".
Undo log data encryption is enabled using the
configuration option. Undo log encryption applies to undo logs
that reside in undo
tablespaces. See
Section 22.214.171.124, "Undo Tablespaces". Undo log data
encryption is disabled by default.
As with tablespace data, undo log data encryption occurs when undo log data is written to disk, and decryption occurs when undo log data is read from disk. Once undo log data is read into memory, it is in unencrypted form. Undo log data is encrypted and decrypted using the tablepace encryption key.
innodb_undo_log_encrypt is
enabled, unencrypted undo log pages that are present on disk
remain unencrypted, and new undo log pages are written to disk
in encrypted form. Likewise, when
innodb_undo_log_encrypt is
disabled, encrypted undo log pages that are present on disk
remain encrypted, and new undo log pages are written to disk in
unencrypted form.
Undo log encryption metadata, including the tablespace
encryption key, is stored in the header of the undo log file
N is the space ID).
The master encryption key should be rotated periodically and whenever you suspect that the key has been compromised.
Master key rotation is an atomic, instance-level operation. Each
time the master encryption key is rotated, all tablespace keys
in the MySQL instance are re-encrypted and saved back to their
respective tablespace headers. As an atomic operation,
re-encryption must succeed for all tablespace keys once a
rotation operation is initiated. If master key rotation is
interrupted by a server failure,
InnoDB rolls
the operation forward on server restart. For more information,
see InnoDB Tablespace Encryption and Recovery.
Rotating the master encryption key only changes the master encryption key and re-encrypts tablespace keys. It does not decrypt or re-encrypt associated tablespace data.
Rotating the master encryption key requires the
ENCRYPTION_KEY_ADMIN or
SUPER privilege.
To rotate the master encryption key, run:
mysql> ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEY;
ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEY supports concurrent DML.
However, it cannot be run concurrently with tablespace
encryption operations, and locks are taken to prevent conflicts
that could arise from concurrent execution. If an
ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEY operation is running, it must
finish before a tablespace encryption operation can proceed, and
vice versa.
If a server failure occurs during an encryption operation, the operation is rolled forward when the server is restarted. For general tablespaces, the encryption operation is resumed in a background thread from the last processed page.
If a server failure occurs during master key rotation,
InnoDB continues the operation on server

reads the encryption data from each tablespace header, and if
the data indicates that the tablespace key is encrypted using
the old master encryption key,
retrieves the old key from the keyring and uses it to decrypt
the tablepace key.
InnoDB then re-encrypts
the tablespace key using the new master encryption key and saves
the re-encrypted tablespace key back to the tablespace header.
Tablespace export is only supported for file-per-table tabelspaces.
When an encrypted tablespace is exported,
InnoDB generates a transfer
key that is used to encrypt the tablespace key. The
encrypted tablespace key and transfer key are stored in a
file. This file together with the encrypted tablespace file is
required to perform an import operation. On import,
InnoDB uses the transfer key to decrypt the
tablespace key in the
file. For related information, see
Section 18.104.22.168, "Copying Tablespaces to Another Instance".
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYstatement is only supported in replication environments where the master and slaves run a version of MySQL that supports tablespace encryption.
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYstatements are written to the binary log for replication on slaves.
If an
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYstatement fails, it is not logged to the binary log and is not replicated on slaves.
Replication of an
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYoperation fails if the keyring plugin is installed on the master but not on the slave.
If the
keyring_encrypted_fileplugin is installed on both the master and a slave but the slave does not have a keyring data file, the replicated
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYstatement creates the keyring data file on the slave, assuming the keyring file data is not cached in memory.
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYuses keyring file data that is cached in memory, if available.
table, introduced in MySQL 8.0.13, includes an
ENCRYPTION column that can be used to
identify encrypted tablespaces.
mysql> SELECT SPACE, NAME, SPACE_TYPE, ENCRYPTION FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES
*************************** 1. row ***************************
NAME: ts1
SPACE_TYPE: General
*************************** 2. row ***************************
NAME: test/t1
SPACE_TYPE: Single
When the
ENCRYPTION option is specified in a
CREATE TABLE or
ALTER TABLE statement, it is
recorded in the
CREATE_OPTIONS column of
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES. This
column can be queried to identify tables that reside in
encrypted file-per-table tablespaces.
mysql> SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, CREATE_OPTIONS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
| test | t1 | ENCRYPTION="Y" |
to retrieve information about the tablespace associated with a
particular schema and table.
mysql> SELECT SPACE, NAME, SPACE_TYPE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES WHERE NAME='test/t1';
| 3 | test/t1 | Single |
You can monitor general tablespace encryption progress using Performance Schema.
stage/innodb/alter tablespace
(encryption) stage event instrument reports
WORK_ESTIMATED and
WORK_COMPLETED information for general
tablespace encryption operations.
The following example demonstrates how to enable the
stage/innodb/alter tablespace (encryption)
stage event instrument and related consumer tables to monitor
general tablespace encryption progress. For information about
Performance Schema stage event instruments and related
consumers, see
Section 26.12.5, "Performance Schema Stage Event Tables".
Enable the
stage/innodb/alter tablespace (encryption)instrument:
mysql> USE performance_schema; mysql> UPDATE setup_instruments SET ENABLED = 'YES' WHERE NAME LIKE 'stage/innodb/alter tablespace (encryption)';
Enable the stage event consumer tables, which include
events_stages_history, and
mysql> UPDATE setup_consumers SET ENABLED = 'YES' WHERE NAME LIKE '%stages%';
Run a general tablespace encryption operation.
mysql> ALTER TABLESPACE ts1 ENCRYPTION = 'Y';
Check the progress of the encryption operation by querying the Performance Schema
WORK_ESTIMATEDreports the total number of pages in the tablespace.
WORK_COMPLETEDreports the number of pages processed.
mysql> SELECT EVENT_NAME, WORK_ESTIMATED, WORK_COMPLETED FROM events_stages_current; +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | EVENT_NAME | WORK_COMPLETED | WORK_ESTIMATED | +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | stage/innodb/alter tablespace (encryption) | 1056 | 1407 | +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
events_stages_currenttable returns an empty set if the encryption operation has completed. In this case, you can check the
events_stages_historytable to view event data for the completed operation. For example:
mysql> SELECT EVENT_NAME, WORK_COMPLETED, WORK_ESTIMATED FROM events_stages_history; +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | EVENT_NAME | WORK_COMPLETED | WORK_ESTIMATED | +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+ | stage/innodb/alter tablespace (encryption) | 1407 | 1407 | +--------------------------------------------+----------------+----------------+
Plan appropriately when altering an existing file-per-table tablespace with the
ENCRYPTIONoption. Tables residing in file-per-table tablespaces are rebuilt using the
COPYalgorithm. The
INPLACEalgorithm is used when altering the
ENCRYPTIONattribute of a general tablespace. The
INPLACEalgorithm permits concurrent DML on tables that reside in the general tablespace. Concurrent DDL is blocked.
When a general tablespace is encrypted, all tables residing in the tablespace are encrypted. Likewise, a table created in an encrypted general tablespace is encrypted.
If the server exits or is stopped during normal operation, it is recommended to restart the server using the same encryption settings that were configured previously.
The first master encryption key is generated when the first new or existing tablespace is encrypted.
Master key rotation re-encrypts tablespaces keys but does not change the tablespace key itself. To change a tablespace key, you must disable and re-enable encryption. For file-per-table tablespaces, re-encrypting the tablespace is an
ALGORITHM=COPYoperation that rebuilds the table. For general tablespaces, it is an
ALGORITHM=INPLACEoperation, which does not require rebuilding tables that reside in the tablespace.
If a table is created with both the
ENCRYPTIONoptions, compression is performed before tablespace data is encrypted.
If a keyring data file (the file named by
keyring_encrypted_file_data) is empty or missing, the first execution of
ALTER INSTANCE ROTATE INNODB MASTER KEYcreates a master encryption key.
Uninstalling the
keyring_encrypted_fileplugin does not remove an existing keyring data file.
It is recommended that you not place a keyring data file under the same directory as tablespace data files.
Modifying the
keyring_encrypted_file_datasetting at runtime or when restarting the server can cause previously encrypted tablespaces to become inaccessible, resulting in lost data.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the only supported encryption algorithm.
InnoDBtablespace encryption uses Electronic Codebook (ECB) block encryption mode for tablespace key encryption and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) block encryption mode for data encryption.
Encryption is only supported for file-per-table and general tablespaces. Encryption support for general tablespaces was introduced in MySQL 8.0.13. Encryption is not supported for other tablespace types including the system tablespace.
You cannot move or copy a table from an encrypted file-per-table tablespace or general tablespace to a tablespace type that does not support encryption.
You cannot move or copy a table from an encrypted tablespace to an unencrypted tablespace. However, moving a table from an unencrypted tablespace to an encrypted one is permitted. For example, you can move or copy a table from a unencrypted file-per-table or general tablespace to an encrypted general tablespace.
By default, tablespace encryption only applies to data in the tablespace. Redo log and undo log data can be encrypted by enabling
innodb_undo_log_encrypt. See Redo Log Data Encryption, and Undo Log Data Encryption. Binary log data is not encrypted.
It is not permitted to change the storage engine of a table that resides or previously resided in an encrypted tablespace.

Their Meaning for Our World
Brother John M. Samaha, S.M.
Do we really need Angels? Do the Angels mean something to us today.
1- Introduction
Are Angels a fad, a trend, or are they real? Angels seem to populate so many aspects of our lives today -- jewelry, postage stamps, stories, television shows, literature, historical anecdotes, art, religious practice, biblical studies. Attention to Angels seems ubiquitous. So absorbed in angels is the general population that this current interest borders on angel-mania. Like the commercialization of Christmas, angel-mania can serve to draw our attention to the reality and importance of angels in God's creation.
Angels are no myth. They are a very evident and a significant part of history and spirituality. Attention to our Christian prayer-life indicates that we encounter the angels of God not only in popular and vocal prayers in general, but we find them prominent especially in the Church's official, liturgical prayer -- the Liturgy of the Hours and the Mass. Angels are an obvious reality of religious history and of biblical study. This popular outburst of interest in angels leads us to learn the role of angels in the Bible and their meaning for us today. Angels are appearing everywhere today. We are surrounded by angel books, angel boutiques, angel newsletters, angel seminars, talk-show hosts discussing angels.
Time and Newsweek have featured lengthy articles about angels. But what does our primary source of information, the Bible, have to say? The word angel comes from the Greek angelos, which means messenger. The word is applied to both human and divine messengers (especially the god Hermes in Greek mythology). In the New Testament angels refers to humans in several instances (Jas 2:25; Lk 7:24; 9:52), but usually means heavenly beings. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word mal'ak is rendered angelos and refers to both human and heavenly messengers. Examples of human messengers are found among prophets (Hg 1:13; Is 44:26; 2 Chr 36:15) and among priests (Mal 2:7; Eccl 5:5). Though our focus is on angels as heavenly beings, the Bible itself employs a wider use of the term.
2- Angels in the Old Testament
In the Old Testament we find three main angelic types: the messengers of the Lord, the servants of the Lord, and the angels of the Lord. Some examples of the messenger of the Lord are found in passages like Gn 16:7-14; 21:17-18; 18:9-15; 22:11-18; Ex 3:2; Jos 5:13-15; Jgs 13:3-23. Common features of these incidents point out that the messenger/angel is not the center of attention; that God enters ordinary situations to encounter humans; that God's action is the key point with emphasis on his presence and action. The messenger/angel seems to be the human shape that God takes when appearing in our daily lives. It is a way of expressing God's distance and God's closeness; that God dwells high above human affairs yet chooses to be directly active in those affairs.
This is a central message that angels communicate to us about God. As servants of the Lord, angels were envisioned as kind of a retinue of heavenly beings who served in various capacities or as a divine council.Indications of this can be found in studying passages like Ps 29:1; Job 38:7; Ps 89:6,8; Ps 82:1; 1Kgs 22:19-22; Is 6:1-3. They are instruments of Yahweh's will and purpose. They surround Yahweh and praise and worship him alone. Angels of the Lord helped to bridge the gap between humans and God. As the role of the prophets declined, angels took their place in the period after the Babylonian Exile (c. 500 B.C.). Instances of this are exemplified in Ez 8-11; Zec 1-8; Tb 5:12; Dn 7:15-16; 8:15-16; 9:21-22. Interest in the angels of the Lord grew immensely during this period.
As the time of Christ approaches an increasing body of nonbiblical or intertestamental literature (e.g., Jubilee, 1 and 2 Enoch, Qumran literature) shows even more interest in the heavenly beings. The angels are organized into hierarchies; good and bad angels battle each other; many angels receive names. Note that the names often given to angels point away from the angel and back to God. Michael means "Who is like God?" Raphael means "God heals." Gabriel means "God is strong." These angels are representatives of God's active presence in our world.
3-Angels in the New Testament
What the New Testament says about angels derives from the Old Testament treatment and what the inter testamental Jewish literature says. As in the Old Testament, the New Testament presents angels as supernatural heavenly beings that form part of the world created by God (Col 1:16). They surround the throne of God and offer continuous praise and glory (Lk 2:13-14S Rev5:8-14; 7:11-17; 19-1-8).
There are many angels (Mt 26:53, Rev 5:11), but only two are named. They are Gabriel, a messenger who brings the good news of Jesus' birth (Lk 1:19), and Michael, a warrior who leads the fight against Satan and sin (Jude 9; Rev 12:7). Paul simply categorizes all angels as "principalities and powers" (Rom 3:38; 1 Cor 15:24; Col 1:16). Might this be a downsizing after the exaggeration prior to Jesus' arrival on earth? While Jesus at times alludes to angels, his proclamation of the God news centers on God's kingdom of justice, peace, and love. Angels are not a key element of the teaching of Jesus. In Gospel incidents about Jesus, angels figure prominently in three contexts. The first is Jesus' nativity. The birth of Jesus is announced by an angel to Mary (Lk1:26-38), and later to Joseph in a dream (Mt 1:20-21).
The message of an angel guides his escape from Herod and his return from Egypt (Mt 2:13-14, 19-22). The second instance is at the end of Jesus' life. After Jesus' death, his resurrection is announced by an angel at the tomb (Mt 28: 2-7; Mk 16:5-7; Lk 24:4-7; Jn20:12-13). In both the birth and resurrection incidents, the role of the angels are similar to the "messenger of the Lord" in the Old Testament who announces births and watches over life. In the third context angels are mentioned in the descriptions of Jesus' second coming at the end of time (Mk 13:27; Mt 24:31; 25:31; and several times in the Book of Revelation).
These attendants of Jesus are like the Old Testament "servants of the Lord," who surround God's heavenly throne, praising him and carrying out his will. The angels are called to bow down and worship Christ, proclaiming his name above every other name (Heb 1:6). The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches, "Christ is the center of the angelic world. They are his angels." (#331). There is a clear impression that some early Christians gave too much attention to angels, and that some New Testament writers addressed that point. Is this a message for us today? Last year pollster George Gallup, a devout Episcopalian, reporting the results of his national survey, highlighted concerns among the clergy that angel-mania "may be detracting people from proven paths to spiritual development~ and that "pop-culture visions of angels impede a deeper development of spiritual values to nourish the soul" (Emerging Trends).
4- What does this mean for us?
What are some conclusions that we should glean from this quick look at the Bible's teaching on angels? First, we should focus more on God than on angels. The Lord sends the messenger and the message or perform the action. Angels come from God and should direct us back to God. Second, we need to place great trust in God's active presence in our lives. God's angels remind us that we are not alone. Wherever we are and whatever we are doing, God is with us. Third, the action of the angels manifests God's desire to free us and to protect us from oppression and death. This is shown in the manner in which God delivers the poor, the weak, and the needy. Finally, we can see Jesus as God's messenger and servant. Though not called an angel, Jesus is the one sent by God into our world. He is the presence of God in our daily life, and expresses God's concern for the lowly and the needy. In Jesus, God "has visited and redeemed his people" (Lk 1:68). We can celebrate angels and the important truth they communicate to us: God wants to be intimately involved in our everyday lives. While being open to the good news conveyed by the angels, we too are invited to become messengers/angels of that gospel to the world. We are called to participate in the new evangelization. While the Bible does focus more on heavenly figures, it also recognizes that humans can be angels too.
5-Guardian Angels
Throughout the Old Testament God's messengers/angels guard and protect individuals as well.as the people of God. God's providence is exemplified in instances found in Gn 21:17-18; Gn 22:11-18; Ex 14:19-20; Ex 23:20,23; Dn 12:1. In the New Testament Jesus advises his disciples not to ignore or despise and of the "little ones" because "their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven" (Mt 18:10). God's care and protection extends to the weakest and most vulnerable among us. The Catechism of the Catholic Church affirms that "From infancy to death human life is surrounded by the watchful care and intercession. . ." of the angels (#336, 352).

One of the many things life is good at is presenting us with challenging situations.
We might have to speak in public, go through difficult medical procedures, visit relatives we can't stand, deal with angry customers and do many more things that we would prefer not to.
You could just grit your teeth and get on with it or you could use tapping processes to ease your apprehension and find the resources you need to be the best you can be in that situation.
So, you might start looking for tapping scripts that 'work' for your problem. You might hope with just a few rounds of tapping that you can go from stressed / distressed / anxious / terrified to calm / centred / happy / relaxed.
It's a simple solution that probably won't work.
In a culture that values 'positive' feelings and rejects (or fears) 'negative' feelings many people focus on getting past feeling bad to feeling good as quickly as possible. They hope that if the tapping ends on a high note then all will be well.
In the understandable desire for (premature) reassurance we try to speed past difficult feelings and get to the enjoyable ones.
Unfortunately, to genuinely access your emotional resources it's more effective to resolve what gets in their way.

Legal Drug-Pushing: How Disease Mongers Keep Us All Doped Up
Pharmaceutical giants, like small-town pizza parlors, have two options for making more money: convince regulars to buy more of what they obviously like, or find ways to persuade more people that they will be happier with this drug or that thin crust with extra cheese.
In the case of the drug companies, it's not our taste buds they're appealing to. Instead, they market prescription drugs directly to consumers—a practice legal only in the United States and New Zealand—by, basically, manipulating our fear of suffering and death.
These "disease mongers"—as science writer Lynne Payer in her 1992 book of that name called the drug industry and the doctors, insurers, and others who comprise its unofficial sales force—spin and toil "to convince essentially well people that they are sick, or slightly sick people that they are very ill."

Iron Fist on Netflix Middle East
Marvel's new Netflix show Iron Fist bursts onto the small screen this month Discuss this article
- Picture 1 of 2
It's a hard story to tell right now – a white billionaire, public enemy number one," says the erudite Jessica Henwick, who plays struggling dojo owner Colleen Wing in Iron Fist, Netflix and Marvel's latest superhero intro series.
The show recounts the story of Danny Rand, a pharmaceutical company heir who has risen from the ashes of a plane crash in which his mother and billionaire father perished. Presumed dead, Danny was brought up in the wilds of the Himalayas by a group of hardliner warrior monks with whose help he develops the ability to summon the glowing punch known as the Iron Fist by slaying the ancient dragon Shou-Lao.
Now, 15 years on, he returns to his native New York on a quest to piece together his former life and be reunited with his second family, the Meachums, the children of whom – Ward and Joy – now run Rand Enterprises, the company Danny rightfully owns.
For those of you not in the know, Iron Fist is the fourth and final instalment of the Marvel-Netflix series building up to the grand finale of The Defenders in which Rand will join forces with Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage to form a superhero team the likes of which New York, and indeed the world, have never seen before. But as Henwick points out, unlike his cohorts, Rand has come from a very privileged background.
Finn Jones, the affable English star who played Ser Loras Tyrell in Game of Thrones, takes on the title role, one that he was drawn to by the contradictory nature of the character.
"On one hand he's this incredibly fierce, loyal warrior who has this awesome responsibility and on the other, he's a vulnerable, chaotic man suffering from trauma, but still has a really optimistic and naïve side to him," he tells Time Out when we meet in New York.
"So there were all these elements that didn't seem to make sense and that really interested me because it was within those elements that I could thread something in that was really nuanced and not like most superheroes – to see a superhero that is totally wide-eyed, totally vulnerable but also incredibly fierce."
Danny's vulnerability and naivety are exposed the minute we first meet him, wandering barefoot and dishevelled through the streets of New York on his way to the Rand Enterprises HQ, where he hopes to be welcomed back into the fold with open arms. However, his vagrant-like appearance causes instant alarm in the corridors he once used as a playground and Danny is immediately shooed away. It is then that we first see the fruits of Rand's years of martial arts education as he fights his way past the guards before waltzing into his dad's former office.
Expecting to find his father's business partner, Harold Meachum, there, Danny is shocked to be met by Harold's offspring, Ward and Joy, who are now at the company's helm. After telling him Harold had "died of cancer" 12 years ago, the Meachum siblings have Danny ejected from the building, stunned at the audacity of this "imposter" claiming to be Wendell Rand's son. Cast asunder by his childhood friends, Danny seems desperate for an ally. And a chance meeting in a park with Henwick's Colleen provides him with a glimmer of hope. In spite of her initial rejection of him, Colleen soon warms to Danny, especially when she sees him deal with the goons Ward has sent to bump him off.
Henwick says: "I think she's got a really good instinct for people and she's a very good reader of people. When she sees him in the park, she's kind of bemused by him and then he comes and tries to speak Mandarin to her and she's like, 'What?' but again entertained because he's so earnest and there's no ulterior motive or maliciousness.
"Everything tells you he's crazy but her gut tells her there's more to him than meets the eye. It's almost like she's the closest thing to the audience perspective because she's going through what the audience is going through."
The dynamic of the Danny-Colleen relationship is one of the driving forces behind the series, their blossoming (and at times fraught) relationship made all the more believable by the actors' off-screen friendship. "Me and Jess [Henwick] were friends long before this show," says Jones. "To have my co-star be such a good friend of mine is a really amazing experience. We've gone on this journey together and it's really wonderful. A lot of support, a lot of love. "There's a natural chemistry. It's like it's fate, like it was always meant to be in the story, and because of our past connection, that's all there. And it only grows, into the later parts of Iron Fist and throughout The Defenders. There's trouble as well. It's not really until the last six episodes of Iron Fist that it really begins to kick off, and it all starts to go a bit south in a really interesting way, especially between Danny and Colleen."
And while two of the main protagonists have a tempestuous relationship, the rapport between the Meachum siblings is similarly intriguing, with Ward acting like a father figure to Joy, although her need for one is caused by the lie he is living about their dad's demise (spoiler alert: he was resurrected but swore Ward to secrecy). Again, the stars that bring these characters to life, the genial Tom Pelphrey and the charming Jessica Stroup, have ties that run much deeper than the show.
"I randomly got to know Tom eight years ago through mutual friends and we haven't seen each other in years," says Stroup. "Tom is one of the funniest people I know – he's so boisterous and outrageous yet so professional. There's something to be said for a person you can just chew the cud with and just laugh and be ridiculous and then a couple of minutes later, talk to them about this next scene and their interpretation and how you're planning for it. For him to be so open is such a gift for me."
As soon as you meet the Meachum siblings, there's an overriding feeling that Joy is being indoctrinated by her older brother. However, Stroup believes there are other factors at play on top of the influence of the bullying Ward.
"I think there's a lot of influence from her father from earlier in her life and I think she would've understood you have to do certain things to make the business run," she says. "It's not necessarily the influence of Ward, it's just that this is how things are done and I think the reason she's able to show that other side of herself is because this guy Danny comes back and he's got all these other thoughts and just starts saying, 'But why?' I think that's incredibly mind-blowing for her and it makes her ask the same question, 'Why? Could we not make quite as much money, but do it this other way?' I think it's a cool arc that she has, a cool awakening."
Pelphrey, meanwhile, clearly revelled in playing the tyrannical villain Ward, but at the same time, reveals he was keen to "keep him human".
"With any character like that, the danger or the pitfall would be just to play a bully or just play someone who delights in their own wickedness, but for Ward, in the flashbacks, you can see there's clearly a lot of rivalry [with Danny] even when they were kids," he says.
"But then you have to consider the stasis we enter when the show starts – you go back as the actor and you realise he's been living a lie for 14 years and what kind of toll does that take on someone, where you're having to keep a secret from the person you love the most because if you told them, it would endanger their lives? That's an impossible situation for anyone not to get twisted in."
Iron Fist deals with a wide spectrum of themes, all with their own moral quandaries, but it's when the evil ninja organisation The Hand emerges that the true extent of the corruption and underhandedness involved in the plot truly comes to light. And New Jersey-born Pelphrey believes NYC provides the perfect backdrop for such a tale of good versus evil. "I think New York is a great place to explore the psyche of the super-powerful," he says. "I love shooting here and I love this city so much. And you're filming on the streets of New York and no-one really cares. It's like, 'I've got other stuff to do that's more important, but oh yeah, it's cool you're here and I used to love that show you were on, so good job', and then they walk off. It gives a great energy – the feeling of being part of something bigger than your own self."
Throughout Iron Fist there's an underlying sense of East meets West, epitomised not only by the samurai-wielding fiends of The Hand, but also by both Danny and Colleen. For Jones, portraying a kung fu artist was a far cry from his previous screen roles (there's not much call for it in King's Landing) and although he's long held an interest in tai chi, mindfulness and meditation, learning the more combative martial art was much of a novelty.
"All of this was very new to me and picking it up was a baptism of fire, but it was very enjoyable," he says. "I was excited [to learn kung fu]. I think I would have liked to have had more time to really involve myself in the process. When I first arrived in New York, I had three weeks before we started filming, during which I was very intense, very passionate, very excited and did a lot of martial arts training, a lot of weights training and I was really gunning for it. And then once the shooting schedule started for the show, I wasn't able to continue the training as intensely as I would have liked, because of the pressures of the shooting days."
In fact, Jones reveals that scheduling constraints meant he had only a matter of minutes to work with the much-vaunted combat choreographer Brett Chan before filming the plethora of fights scenes in which he was involved. "I was learning them on the day. I'd pick up the fights 15 to 20 minutes before we shot them," he says. "That's the nature of it. When we're trying to do movie-style television on a television budget, there are certain things that have to happen and that's one of them. I just hope when people see the show, they understand and respect the process, which I don't think a lot of people do really understand. You just learn to adapt. At first, it took me a while to get my head around it, especially to get my body moving in that way and picking up choreography so quickly. But now it's a lot easier."
In something of a departure from the previous three Marvel intro-series, there's a much more youthful feel to the characters in Iron Fist, something that Henwick believes adds to its allure. "I think it's just about making sure the four Defenders have a wide fan base and so now, Danny really does appeal to a different fan base from the other characters," she says. "You're right, he's wide-eyed, kind of an ingénu, he's a bit naive and younger, optimistic, less world-wary and jaded. He's not standing in dark corners talking soliloquies about the meaning of life. He is younger and the show feels younger. I think that was a conscious decision from everyone to try and appeal to a different audience."
And as for Rand being that "white billionaire, public enemy number one", Henwick adds: "I think in terms of once you see the show and especially going into The Defenders, it's exactly what they needed with the four leads.
I think the other three are very heavy and Danny brings a nice flavour – he throws them off their game."
Jones, meanwhile, is in agreement with Henwick about the novel dynamic of the show being in stark contrast to its Marvel predecessors. He also prefers television to film as a medium in which to develop characters such as Danny (and indeed Ser Loras), saying it's "way more intelligent".
"The great thing about Danny is that he starts off in this place and is there throughout Iron Fist and into The Defenders. But you'll see that by the end of The Defenders, Danny Rand has become a man and he's become a hero and it's really amazing that throughout these shows, it's not rushed. It's not like, 'Hey, Danny turns up and he's this big, awesome superhero dude!' He's gone from an innocent, irresponsible screw-up of a child to becoming a reasoned and responsible adult – and superhero."

Call again. When you get the phone tree press zero, keep pressing zero to interrupt the computer causing it to transfer you to a real human...:o)
If it is one of those "talking" computers that asks you questions your answer should only be "representative please" until you confuse the poor creature and it transfers you to a human.
When you finally get a human politely force action to be taken. Hope this helps. Works for me all the time...:o)

How about packing it back in the box, sending it back to where you ordered it, even if you have to pay the postage. Put in a big sign saying "You put it together with the missing parts." Also tell them their service is lousy and no help. I would probably ask for my money back plus what I paid for the postage and tell them you will take your business elsewhere!

We bought what I think is almost exactly the same cart from a different vendor two weeks ago. Our cart was the AgriFab brand from Illinois. One part was missing from our box (and our home is an hour each way from the store.) A two minute phone call to a really nice guy at AgriFab and the missing piece was 2 day shipped to us. We were so impressed that last week we bought an AgriFab sweeper which has us super happy right out of the box. I have no relationship to those guys other than being one heck of a satisfied customer. If this cart gives you hassles, or you are looking for other small implements, give 'em a look.

Sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be greatly reduced. A typical home PV system can produce around 40% of the electricity a household uses in a year. If your system is producing more electricity than you need, or when you can't use it, someone else can use it - and you could make a bit of money through the Feed-in Tariff.
Solar panels
Solar Panels
Solar electricity systems capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. PV cells don't need direct sunlight to work - you can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day.
What is the Feed-in Tariff scheme?
Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) became available in Great Britain on 1st April 2010. Under this scheme energy suppliers have to make regular payments to householders and communities who generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources such as wind turbines.
The scheme guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity generated by the system, as well as a separate payment for the electricity exported to grid. These payments are in addition to the bill savings made by using the electricity generated on-site.
If you are eligible to receive the FIT then you will benefit in 3 ways:
1. Generation tariff – a set rate paid by the energy supplier for each unit (or kWh) of electricity you generate. This rate will change each year for new entrants to the scheme (except for the first 2 years), but once you join you will continue on the same tariff for 20 years, or 25 years in the case of solar electricity (PV).
2. Export tariff - you will receive a further 3p/kWh from your energy supplier for each unit you export back to the electricity grid, that is when it isn't used on site. The export rate is the same for all technologies.
3. Energy bill savings – you will be making savings on your electricity bills, because generating electricity to power your appliances means you don't have to buy as much electricity from your energy supplier. The amount you save will vary depending how much of the electricity you use on site.
Visit the Energy Saving Trust to see how much you may be able to earn.
Costs and Savings
Costs for installing a solar electricity system vary a lot - an average system (2.2kW) costs around £12,000 (including VAT at 5%). Per kW, solar electricity systems can cost in the region of £4,500 to £8,000 per kW, but costs per kW should reduce as system size increases.
In general: the more electricity the system can generate, the more it costs but the more it could save, solar tiles cost more than conventional panels, panels built into a roof are more expensive than those that sit on top but, if you need major roof repairs, PV tiles can offset the cost of roof tiles.
Savings can be considerable - around 1 tonne of CO2 a year. A 2.2 kWp system can generate around 40% of a household's yearly electricity needs. If the system is eligible to receive the Feed In Tariff it could generate savings and income of around £900 per year.
Maintenance is generally small - you'll need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don't begin to overshadow them.
Grants and Discounts
Installing an energy efficient measure in your home may not cost as much as you think. You may be eligible for a grant or discount to cover the costs of your installation. To find the right offer for you search the Energy Saving Trust's Grants and Discounts Database. The tool is easy to use and only takes 5 minutes to complete.
To find out if Solar Electricity Systems are suitable for your home visit the Home Energy Generation Selector tool.
