In a surprising twist of events, Ted Cruz managed to defeat Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses. But what's even more surprising is that Trump seemed to take it all in stride.
The GOP hopeful stepped up on to the podium Monday night and accepted his defeat with a gracious speech. Texan Sen. Cruz surpassed Trump by taking home 28 percent of the votes despite predictions that Trump would be the clear winner in the Iowa caucus.
In classic Trump fashion, the real estate tycoon started by blowing his own trumpet.
"When we started this journey, with 17 candidates, I was told by everybody, 'Do not go to Iowa. You could never finish even on the top 10.' And I said, 'But I have friends in Iowa and a lot of people in Iowa, I think they'll really like me. Let's give it a shot!' They said, 'Don't do it,' I said, 'I have to do it.' And we finished second, and I wanna tell you something: I'm just honored!"
The unexpected defeat did nothing to dim Trump's enthusiasm as he finished his speech by declaring he might buy a farm in Iowa and reassuring everyone that he will win in New Hampshire next week.
Although he might seem unfazed, the anti-Trump voters are having a field day, making Trump the butt of their jokes.
One Twitter user pointed out that Trump was beaten by a Latino, which is quite ironic because the business mogul had a lot of comments on Cruz's nationality and ethnicity in the past.
OMG. Did a #Latino just beat #Trump?... Latino #Democrats are laughing out loud!! #IowaCaucus— Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) February 2, 2016
Another tweeter hasn't lost faith in Trump's indomitable spirit and thinks he will bounce back from his loss in a way only Trump can.
Don't feel bad for #trump underperforming by 8points.He'll read a passage from two Corinthians, shoot someone and pick up the fight tomorrow— Dan Joseph (@DanJoseph78) February 2, 2016
Others are a little more blunt.
#Trump is officially a loosah!— Rory Albanese (@RoryAlbanese) February 2, 2016
Some people think that Sarah Palin's drunken speech might have something to do with his defeat in the caucus.
Wow, that #Palin endorsement really helped #Trump crush it in the end.— Hollywood Politics (@Hwoodpolitix) February 2, 2016
Wanna know what trumps all these tweets—A tweet by the outspoken, bigot himself, claiming no one remembers who comes in second. Ironic, right?

As technical people who plan, build and migrate to customers to virtual infrastructure, the question of what consolidation ratio customers can expect is a interesting one. Consolidation ratios tend to be a mix of wishful thinking and real-life. In my old IT days, I heard one large high-tech company was able to achieve 30 to 1 consolidation ratios for their Windows infrastructure. My CIO at the time asked why can't we do the same, imagine the savings!
Truth be told there is a lot to consolidation ratios. Microsoft claims customers in real-life get between 5 to 7 virtual machines per host. VMware will say "it depends" which is the right answer, though, I'm curious to see what their customers achieve on average.
There are many methods. I myself like to use the 10-25% rule. This rule means at any one time, 10-25% of your users are actively using the system. So, to calculate the "real-life" consolidation ratio, I take the peak of the top 25% of the hosts and then use the average for the remaining 75%. It's worked well for me over the years, especially when planning for grid computing workloads.
How do you plan your consolidation ratio? Discuss…

Every second, a gun shoots a bullet in the same direction at a random constant speed between 0 and 1.
The speeds of the bullets are independent uniform random variables. Each bullet keeps the exact same speed and when two bullets collide, they are both annihilated.
After shooting 20 bullets, what is the probability that eventually all the bullets will be annihilated?
Please supply the answer rounded to the 10th decimal digit.
It is reasonably straight-forward to let a Monte-Carlo engine work it out.
For example see this link to Java code in github.
However, to get an answer to an accuracy of 10 decimal digits would take a lot of computing power or a more clever algorithm.
Let \(v_i\) be the speed of bullet i
( I'm going to use a zero based numbering system, not because I really like it, but rather to be consistent with the Java code. It makes it simpler to transition between the two. ).
We're assuming that the bullets are infinitesimally small and the the probability of 3 colliding together at the same point in time and space is (almost surely) zero.
Also, we note that collisions can only take place between odd and even bullets. We can't have two even-numbered bullets colliding together.
To explain why, we consider what would happen if two even bullets were to collide. Then we would need all the intermediate bullets to have been annihilated. And the number of bullets between say bullet 2m and 2(m+n) is 2n-1 which is odd. But bullets only annihilate in pairs. So we can't have an odd number of intermediate bullets annihilating. Thus two even bullets cannot collide with each other. Similarly two odd bullets cannot collide with each other.
(Far) below we deal with the case when we have 4 bullets but first we'll look at an more general case, with generalized initial conditions.
Suppose \(2N\) bullets are fired. We will label the starting condition to be \(\mathcal{J}_{2N} (\textbf{X},\textbf{t})\):
each bullet has position \(X_i\) with
\(X_i \ge X_{i+1} \) and \(X_i \ge 0 \ \ \ \ \ \forall i: 0 \le i \le N-1 \)
start times: \(t_i \) with
\(t_i \le t_{i+1} \) and \(t_i \ge 0 \ \ \ \ \forall i: 0 \le i \le N-1 \)
and speeds as before \(v_i \sim U(0,1) \)
We define \(\mathcal{A}_{2N} \) to be the probability that all bullets released in our generalized version will be annihilated.
In the case when there are 2 bullets ( \(N=1 \) )
they will collide when \(v_0 < v_1\).
Otherwise they won't.
So the probability that they annihilate each other is: \[\mathcal{A}_{2} = \frac{1}{2}\] Now consider the case when we have an even number of bullets and there are more than 2 of them, i.e \(N>1\):
The only case when there are no collisions at all is when the velocities are strictly ordered: \[v_i > v_{i+1} \ \ \ \ \ \forall i: 0 \le i < N-1 \] In that case, the first bullet is the fastest and the last is the slowest.
On the other hand, if last is not the slowest, then we know there will be at least one collision.
The probability that the last is not the slowest is: \(p_{2N} = \frac{2N-1}{2N} \).
In this case, when the last is not the slowest there will a first collision. We don't know which pair will collide first, but we know that the first collision will definitely occur. After this first collision occurs, we then have 2 fewer remaining bullets.
Immediately after the first collision we will then have a valid starting condition \(\mathcal{J}_{2N-2}(\textbf{X}',\textbf{t}') \). If all the original 2N bullets are to be annihilated, then we will need the remaining (2N-2) bullets to be annihilated and so we find: \[\mathcal{A}_{2N} = \frac{2N-1}{2N} \mathcal{A}_{2N-2}\] Using this recursive definition we find: \[\mathcal{A}_{2N}=\prod_{n=1}^N\frac{2n-1}{2n}\]
Alternative approaches
IntegrationAnother way to try to get the solution is to analytically do integrals over the probability density functions and thus end up with an exact solution. Now lets move on to the case when we have 4 bullets.
We'll introduce some notation. The probability that all 4 bullets will be annihilated is:
\[A_4= \Phi (**,|/) + \Phi (\bigwedge,\bigwedge) + \Phi (|/,\bigwedge) \] Where:
\(\Phi (**,|/)\)is the contribution from the case when we don't have any restrictions on the first pair and \(v_2 < v_3\).
I.e. the second pair is NOT on a collision course.
\(\Phi (\bigwedge,\bigwedge)\) is the contribution from the case when \(v_0 < v_1\) and \(v_2 < v_3\).
I.e. that's the case when the first are on a collision course and so are the second pair. Though it doesn't necessarily mean that the first pair will collide with each other.
\(\Phi (|/,\bigwedge)\) is the contribution from the case when \(v_1 < v_0\) and \(v_2 < v_3\).
i.e. the first pair are NOT on a collision course, but the second pair are.
First lets evaluate \(\Phi (**,|/)\). In this case the second pair are not on a collision course.
For all to be annihilated we must have a collision between bullets 1 and 2 and then a collision between 0 and 3.
We first work out the minimum velocity of \(v_0\) required to ensure that bullets 0 and 1 do not collide before the collision of bullets 1 and 2.
With a little bit of algebra ( and or geometry ) we find that minimum velocity to be: \[\beta=\frac{v_1 v_2}{2 v_2 - v_1}\] So we have the constraints:
\[0 < v_2 < 1 \] \[0 < v_1 < v_2 \] \[\beta < v_0 < v_2 \] \[v_0 < v_3 < v_2 \]
Note that the probability density function of each of the velocities \(v_i\) is 1 inside the range 0 to 1. And it is zero outside.
The (subtle) difference between the condition \( v_2 < 1 \) and \( v_2 \leq 1 \) is on a set of zero measure which won't affect our results.
Integrating over the probability space we find: \[\Phi (**,|/)=\int_0^1 dv_2 \int_0^{v_2}dv_1 \int_{\beta}^{v_2}dv_0 \int_{v_0}^{v_2}dv_3 \] Doing the \(dv_3\) integral we find: \[\Phi (**,|/)=\int_0^1 dv_2 \int_0^{v_2}dv_1 \int_{\beta}^{v_2}dv_0 ( v_2 - v_0) \] No doing the \(dv_0\) integral we find: \[\Phi (**,|/)=\int_0^1 dv_2 \int_0^{v_2^2}dv_1 \left( \frac{v_2}{2} - \frac{v_1 v_2^2}{2v_2 - v_1} + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_2 - v_1} \right)^2\right) \] To evaluate the \(dv_1\) integral takes a bit of effort.
After doing the work we find: \[\Phi (**,|/)=\int_0^1 dv_2 ( v_2^3 [ 3 - 4 ln(2)]) \] and so: \[\Phi (**,|/)= \frac{3}{4} - ln(2) \approx 0.0568528 \]
Now we'll evaluate \(\Phi (\bigwedge,\bigwedge)\).
In this case \(v_0 < v_1\) and \(v_2 < v_3\).
Suppose it is also true that \(v_1 < v_2\).
In that case we can deduce that \(v_0 < v_3\)
Thus if \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) collide then so too will \(v_0\) and \(v_3\).
And so all 4 will have been annihilated.
On the other hand if \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) don't collide, then we know that the first pair will collide and so will the second pair.
Either way all 4 bullets will be annihilated.
\[Prob(v_0 < v_1)= \frac{1}{2} \] and \[Prob(v_2 < v_3)= \frac{1}{2} \] So \[\Phi (\bigwedge,\bigwedge)=\frac{1}{2} \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}\]
Now we move on to: \(\Phi (|/,\bigwedge)\)
We're dealing with the case when the first pair is not on a collision course, but the second pair are. For all 4 bullets to be annihilated we requrie bullets 1 and 2 to collide and then bullets 0 and 3 to collide. We have conditions: \[v_1 < v_0 < v_3 \] \[v_1 < v_2 < v_3 \] However, if we just integrate over those ranges, then we'll have over counted. Because we will have also included a contribution from the case when bullets 2 and 3 collide before bullets 1 and 2. And when that happens bullets 0 and 1 won't be annihilated. So we need to subtract a bit which we'll label \(\phi\)
Thus: \[\Phi (|/,\bigwedge) =\left( \int_0^1 dv_3 \int_0^{v_3}dv_1 \int_{v_1}^{v_3}dv_0 \int_{v_1}^{v_3}dv_2 \right) - \phi \] doing that quadruple integral we find: \[\Phi (|/,\bigwedge) =\frac{1}{12} - \phi \]
|Showing the over-counting when bullets 0 and 1 are not annihilated.
Now we turn to that extra bit ( \(\phi\) ).
We have the same constraints as above: \[v_1 < v_0 < v_3 \] \[v_1 < v_2 < v_3 \] but we have some extra constraints, which we'll now look into. We work out the time of collision between 1 and 2 to be: \[T_{12}=\frac{2v_2 - v_1}{v_2 - v_1}\] In this extra bit, that we've over-counted, bullet 3 will have already overtaken bullet 2 before the collision between 1 and 2. I.e. bullet 3 will have passed the (1,2) collision at time \(T_{12}\):
\[v_2(T_{12} -2) < v_3 ( T_{12} - 3 )\] That implies: \[ v_1 v_2 < v_3 ( 2v_1 - v_2) \] and we must have: \[2 v_1 > v_2 \] and \[v_3 > \frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2}\]
The lower limit of the integral over \(v_3\) will be \(\frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2} \), so we need to ensure that: \[ \frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2} < 1 \] and so we require: \[v_1 > \frac{v_2}{2-v_2} \]
Thus \[\phi = \int_0^1 dv_2 \int_{\frac{v_2}{2-v_2}}^{v_2}dv_1 \int_{\frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2}}^{1}dv_3 \int_{v_1}^{v_3}dv_0 \] So: \[\phi = \int_0^1 dv_2 \int_{\frac{v_2}{2-v_2}}^{v_2}dv_1 \int_{\frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2}}^{1}dv_3 (v_3 - v_1) \] and hence: \[\phi = \int_0^1 dv_2 \int_{\frac{v_2}{2-v_2}}^{v_2}dv_1 \left( \frac{1}{2} - v_1 + \frac{v^2_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2} - \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{v_1 v_2}{2v_1 - v_2} \right)^2 \right) \] It does indeed take a bit of work to show that it evaluates to: \[\phi = \int_0^1 dv_2 \left( \frac{v_2}{2} - \frac{5v_2^2}{8} + \frac{v_2^3}{2} + \frac{v_2^3-4v_2}{8(2-v_2)} + \frac{2v_2^2-3v_2^3+v_2^4}{4 (2-v_2)^2} \right)\] (To work out the integral this link may be helpful. )
We find: \[\phi= \frac{6}{24} - \frac{5}{24} + \frac{3}{24} - \frac{4}{24} + \frac{17}{24} - ln(2)\] So we end up with: \[\phi= \frac{17}{24} - ln(2)\] and we now have: \[ \Phi (|/,\bigwedge) = \frac{1}{12} - \left( \frac{17}{24} - ln(2) \right) = ln(2) - \frac{5}{8} \] We return to the probability that all 4 bullets will be annihilated: \[A_4= \left[ \Phi (**,|/) \right] + \Phi (\bigwedge,\bigwedge) + \left\{ \Phi (|/,\bigwedge) \right\} \] We now have evaluated all the terms on the right hand side: \[A_4= \left[ \frac{3}{4} - ln(2) \right] + \frac{1}{4} + \left\{ ln(2) - \frac{5}{8} \right\} \] And so: \[A_4 = \frac{3}{8}\]
So we now know that, when 4 bullets are fired, the probability that all will be annihilated is \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Let's not integrate:I am aware that for some people, when they are imagining a fun evening, thoughts of doing quadruple integrals by the fireside do not enter their mind. For such individuals, we offer an alternative approach to working out \(A_4\) without doing any integration at all.
We write the probability that all 4 will be annihilated: \[A_4=\Phi \left( \bigwedge , \bigwedge \right) + \Phi \left( |/ , |/ \right) + \Phi \left( |/ , \bigwedge \right) + \Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) \]
\( \Phi \left( \bigwedge , \bigwedge \right) \) is the contribution from the case when
\( (v_0 < v_1 ) \) and \( (v_2 < v_3 ) \)
We have already worked that out above, without using integration and found it to be: \[ \Phi \left( \bigwedge , \bigwedge \right) = \frac{1}{4} \]
Now moving on to \( \Phi \left( |/ , |/ \right)\) which is the contribution from the case when
\( (v_1 < v_0 ) \) and \( (v_3 < v_2 ) \)
When that is true, all 4 bullets will be annihilated when we have the additional conditions:
\( (v_0 < v_3 ) \) and \( (v_1 < v_3 ) \)
So we have the conditions: \[ v_1 < v_0 < v_3 < v_2 \] There are \(4!=24\) ways in which the 4 \(v_i \)s can be ordered. Each has the same probability \( \frac{1}{24} \). Only 1 of the 24 permuations obeys the conditions that we have here and so we can deduce that: \[\Phi \left( |/ , |/ \right) = \frac{1}{24} \]
Now moving on to: \( \Phi \left( |/ , \bigwedge \right) \). Remember, it is the contribution to \(A_4 \) from the case when the first pair not on a collision course, but the second pair are. So we have conditions:
\( (v_1 < v_0 ) \) and \( (v_2 < v_3 ) \)
for all to be annihilated, we have additional constraints: \( (v_0 < v_3 ) \) and \( (v_1 < v_2 ) \)
and we also require that bullet 2 does not collide with 3 before 1.
After a bit of work, we find that that condition is: \[ 2 v_1 v_3 < v_2 ( v_1 + v_3) \] We'll denote the probability to be \(P\left\{.\right\}\)
So we have: \[ \Phi \left( |/ , \bigwedge \right) = P \left\{ (v_1 < v_0 ) \& (v_2 < v_3 ) \& (v_0 < v_3 ) \& (v_1 < v_2 ) \& \left[ 2 v_1 v_3 < v_2 ( v_1 + v_3) \right] \right\} \] We'll return to that in a moment. But first we'll examine \( \Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) \). Using a similar argument we find that: \[ \Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) = P \left\{ (v_0 < v_1 ) \& (v_3 < v_2 ) \& (v_0 < v_3 ) \& (v_1 < v_2 ) \& \left[ 2 v_0 v_2 > v_1 ( v_0 + v_2) \right] \right\} \] We now note that the \(v_i\) are independent, identically distributed random variables and so we could permute the indices on the right hand side of the above equations without changing the value. On the right hand side of the equation immediately above change: \[i_{new} = (i_{old} + 1) mod \ 4\] And so we have: \[ \Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) = P \left\{ (v_1 < v_2 ) \& (v_0 < v_3 ) \& (v_1 < v_0 ) \& (v_2 < v_3 ) \& \left[ 2 v_1 v_3 > v_2 ( v_1 + v_3) \right] \right\} \] Now note that the right hand side that equation contains a term: \[ 2 v_1 v_3 > v_2 ( v_1 + v_3)\] And the formula above for \( \Phi \left( |/, \bigwedge \right) \) contains the same term with the '>' switched to a '<'. When we're working out the probabilities we can ignore '=' case, since that is on a set of zero measure.
Now note that generally speaking: \[P\left\{K \& L \right\} + P\left\{K \& \ not(L) \right\} = P\left\{K \right\}\] And so we find: \[\Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) + \Phi \left( |/, \bigwedge \right) = P \left\{ (v_1 < v_0 ) \& (v_2 < v_3 ) \& (v_0 < v_3 ) \& (v_1 < v_2 ) \right\}\] Of the 24 permutations of \(v_i\), we find that just 2 obey those conditions and so \[\Phi \left( \bigwedge, |/ \right) + \Phi \left( |/, \bigwedge \right) = \frac{2}{24} = \frac{1}{12}\] Note that we have not worked out what each of the terms on the left hand side is equal to, but we have worked out their sum, which is what we needed.
Now returning to \(A_4\) we find: \[A_4=\frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{24}+ \frac{1}{12} = \frac{3}{8}\]

FILD Design Thinking Company
FILD – one of the main companies that formed an objects design industry in Ukraine. While maintaining its successful development, the studio keeps working on bringing new ideas to life, creating interior projects in Kiev and looking forward to a new partnerships and collaborations.
Ash grey and dimmed yellow are identity colors of the company. FILD is built on the principles of clean minimalist lines and shapes of the objects in graphic design as well as in interior design. The team bases they perception on design laconism, application convenience and pleasant textures.
Was established in 2013 in Kiev (Ukraine) by Dan Vakhrameyev and Kateryna Fedorenko.
Dan is a creative director of the company. He got his MA degree at Art-Design International University of Salvador Dali. Since then, he has worked in branding, graphic design as well as commercial advertising lay-outs. Kateryna Fedorenko is an executive director. Kateryna has her background in fashion industry, gaining her experience over a period of 12 years and founding L'UVE fashion brand. She moved onto engaging herself fully with the FILD company, bringing into this creative collaboration her management skills and fashion vision.
During 2013 FILD has being engaged in and successfully completing architectural & interior design as well as branding projects for a Yoga studio, a few beauty salons, few private apartments, PODOLYAN fashion store and a flower boutique in Kiev.
Since 2014 FILD started its very first object design collection SUSTAINABLE ORIGINS.
"SO" was designed and developed by Dan Vakhrameyev in 2014. The minimalist object forms were created In virtue of assembling genuine materials of wood and metal. Accurate and conceivable design is the main principle of the collection. The first items of SO collection were presented in December 2014, such as floor lamps (code name - SO1 ), pendant lamps (SO5, SO6, SO8), shelving units (code name SO4) and metal stool (code name - SO2 ).
In July 2015, adhering to its already recognizable minimalistic and sustainable style, FILD company presented a range of new products. This time a lot of attention was dedicated to architectural lighting, decor, functional interior objects and overall color palette.
ARCHI - ceiling downlight. LINES - decorative pendant lights that create geometrical volumetric shapes with their subtle lines. HATCH TABLE - decorative table, a functional interior element. HEAVY CREAMS - candlestick consists of 2 turned metal parts and a wooden handle. BLOCKS- candlesticks. DIAGONAL TILE - decorative tile concept.
FILD's key combination of wood and metal was fulfilled in these decorative items. The variety of color palette and geometrical shapes give endless possibilities for combinations and unlimited creativity.

Teddy Purcell's postgame thoughts…
(on the end of the goal droughts…
PURCELL: "It feels like the whole zoo came out. When you're making plays again, you're a whole lot lighter, a whole lot more confident, and it's even more important that we got it against the best team in the West in their building. So it's a really good feeling."
(on his goal…)
PURCELL: "It's a great play on the power play. It seems like I've been getting chances and they haven't been going in. Zeus had a great screen in front, and luckily it went in. I felt like I was shooting the puck a lot more tonight and had more chances, so hopefully I can build off this, and our team can, and we can get another two points tomorrow night."
(on maintaining confidence during a goal drought…)
PURCELL: "Sometimes, when you start in a slump, you're kind of up and down. You know you can do it at this level, but at the same time it's still in the back of your mind. You're in the slump for a reason, and you're trying everything you can to get out of it. It's real important that I got that, and hopefully I can build off it and they will start coming in bunches."

Official Religion and Popular Religion in Pre-Exilic Ancient Israel
Presented at the twenty-third annual
Rabbi Louis Feinberg Memorial Lecture in Jewish Studies, Department of Judaic Studies,
University of Cincinnati, May 11, 2000
(Continued from page 10)
In Smiths estimation, the actual official religions of Israel did recognize Yahweh. The problem was that they recognized Him in ways that drove the Yahweh-alone party to the brink of madness. Syncretism, writes Smith, was dominant in the cult of Yahweh at Jerusalem to the very last days of the first temple (1987: 19:21; 35). This syncretistic official religion, I would surmise, made sure that its recognized gods were known to the masses.
Perhaps it succeeded in achieving consensus, for as Susan Ackerman has observed, in ancient Israel many simply believed that it was legitimate in Yahwism to supplement the worship of Yahweh with the worship of other gods (1990: 215). Asherah and her cult symbol writes Saul Olyan, were legitimate not only in popular Yahwism, but in the official cult as well (1988:74). This may explain the Kuntillet Ajrud and Khirbet el-Qôm inscriptions discussed above, not to mention the thousands of Palestinian fertility figurines. In other words, worship of Asherah and Yahweh, among others deities, was part of various official religions of Israel and Judah in the pre-exilic period. These monarchies endorsed a syncretistic form of worship andbeing skilled in the hegemonic artsconvinced numerous social groups and classes to do so as well.
In my reading, the Hebrew Bible is anything but the voice of an official religion. On the contrary, it is the religion of an embattled, perhaps even oppressed minority, endowed with a sublime literary imagination and an uncompromising commitment to the God of Israel. In contrast to Kaufmann, I suggest that the official religions of the pre-exilic period were usually polytheistic and that they typically shared this attribute with countless popular religious groups. There arose among the latterwhen this occurred I am not ready to say-- a small dissenting group of pure Yahwists. I would speculate that their teachings were transmitted from generation to generation. The transmission process involved, among other things, the continual editing and re-editing, cutting and pasting, of the cult collection. The various official religions they encountered throughout the pre-exilic period, one would assume, managed these cantankerous Yahwists in a variety of ways. These ranged from brute force, to tolerance, to official recognition, to ambivalence, to apathy.
At some later point in time, perhaps in the early post-exilic period, this Yahweh-alone party finally gained the consensus of various Palestinian groups. Under the watchful eye of the Persian Empire, they emerged as local official religion. Endowed with this limited, albeit tangible, capacity to exert power they painstakingly redacted and revised the cult collection, which we now know as the Hebrew Bible. They convinced post-exilic Judahites to accept its teachings about the oneness of the divine, the evils of Asherah and a host of other things. They persuaded them that it was disloyalty to Yahweh that triggered the numerous and sundry miseries that afflicted the children of Israel. They endorsed a corpus of texts that suggested the Assyrian and Babylonian debacles had actually been predicted by uncompromising Yahwists such as Isaiah and Jeremiah. Gradually, the collection came to assume the status of a sacred text of a local monotheistic official religion. Poised as such it provided the foundation for the advent of Pharisaic Judaism, Christianity and eventually Islam.
If this hypothesis is correctand I concede that it is in need of much greater elaborationthen it would force us to re-think the history of emergent Judaism. We would need to view the Dtr. circle as a group of God-afflicted men, marginal men, insufferable men perhaps, but men in possession of that type of preternatural talent that Thomas Mann reminded us is at once a gift and an affliction. Their theology was initially rejected (or completely ignored) by both the monarchy and the various social groups and classes that comprised Judah and Israel. In this sense they may be understood as a minority party, situated in a subordinate relation of power with an official religiona sort of highly literate popular religious group. Following this line of analysis we would have to concede that we know next to nothing about the actual official religions of the pre-exilic period, outside of the numerous complaints leveled against them in the Tanakh.
Lastly, my hypothesis suggests that the idea of critique is as central to the Judaic as is the idea of monotheism. Michael Walzer has suggested that the prophets were the inventors of the practice of social criticism (1987:71). Early Judaism, then, is a religion of critiquean attribute as strikingly unique and significant as is its steadfast belief in one God.

The 2016-2017 school year draws rapidly to a close. Only one month left. This has been quite an amazing year!
- It's been the first year HoofTrek classes have been run. We've learned so much – mostly about what not to do! We are continually jotting down new/different ideas for next year. It has been very educational and I have enjoyed watching the students learn to interact safely with the horses. I have been told by some of them that they have learned patience and how to be confident learning new things.
- It's been a wetter year we've had rain nearly all year – even during April. This has kept the grass alive for which our horses are thankful.
- Living by faith – may times this year we have come to the end of our financial resources. But we serve the God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills and He has never let us or the horses go without. And God has not only provided for HoofTrek, but also for Wat Preah Yesu. He is ever teaching us to come to Him on our knees and proving over and over again that this is His work. His grace towards me is amazing, I don't deserve any of it. I have and am having some real relational challenges this year, soem have been overcome, some still to be overcome, but God is faithful and if I can get out of the way He will do what He needs to do in me
- Ely, Matthew and I have been learning to read and write Khmer on Wednesday afternoons with Rathom, one of our Gr. 10 students. She is a good teacher and I am amazed at how much I have learned and that I can actually read a bit (not perfectly, but better than before 🙂 )
We have had some truly wonderful volunteers this school year. Matthew, from the USA, has been here since last September and Christel, from Denmark, has been here for a bit over 4 months. They have been great friends and teachers. Matthew will leave at the end of July and Christel leaves next week 😦 I appreciate them and all they have done for us here at WPY; I'm sure the students will miss them too.
For the last month we've had 4 ladies from California. They arrived just when we were short of teachers. Their love for God and for the students was very evident in their behavior and we made many good memories before they left yesterday. One of them, Rebecca, led us through a 10 days of prayer for Revival and Reformation. I learned a lot and am glad we had this opportunity. God is so good, and there is ALWAYS something to learn.
Just after the April holidays we had a mini exodus of a few students who decided to go study elsewhere or work. This happens every year, and we pray that they will remember the things they learned here.
My Grade 7B English class I picked up after Anna left early February. I have enjoyed teaching them. They are energetic and friendly and have been doing really well.Over this last month they have been getting restless and noisy. This too tends to happen as exams get closer. God has been teaching me patience and love as sometimes the students have staged mini rebellions (trying to convince me of something and refusing to do what I wanted until I would give them what they wanted etc)
Tim has held a few staff meetings this year mostly discussing how we can implement True Education here at KAS. Please pray for Tim and all of us staff here as we look at making some big changes.
Thank you for all your prayers and support. May God bless you and continue to guide you into His perfect will..

Jeremy Clarkson is weighing in on the whole, "restore vs. resto-mod" debate. Me? I tend to value originality, and the market my cars play in does too. That said, I also think modifications which materially improve the car while also being true to its nature are also to be admired. Putting a Chevy 350 V-8 in a Jaguar XJS sedan I think is a pretty horrible thing to do, but putting a monster Alfa V6 in a tiny Alfa sports car (and, if you follow that thread, f-all else to it) is fine. Doing things to fix things that were actual mistakes in the original engineering, like the fixes on the E-type Jeremy mentions, are more than fine as well.
But, ultimately, I've come around to the opinion that, "it's your car, do what you want to it." I admire any modification when it's done well, and I laugh uproariously at any that are done poorly. Take care of it, and don't half-ass anything.

One of the best things about summer vacation is that I have SO much more time to read.
Avenue of Spies: A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Paris by Alex Kershaw
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received a copy of this book for free from Blogging for Books. All opinions are my own.
As I began reading, I immediately enjoyed that while this book is nonfiction, it reads like a novel.
After getting further into the book I found that it was confusing at time with many names and how they were connected to each other in order to be influential. There were times that I had to reread paragraphs or pages in order to piece things together. The sentence structure awkward at times, and I needer to reread to figure out what the author was stating. I think this occurred because Kershaw felt the need to explain people, places, or clarify French or German phrases. Sometimes, it was slow going because of the numerous French and German names of people and places. While important to tell the story, it took time to work out the pronunciation!
Nearing the end of the story, things began to really move me. It's easy to forget that Jewish people were not the only ones targeted during WWII. People who resisted the Nazis and many others were put to death in the most cruel ways. While I do wish the story would have focused more on the Jacksons and less on other details, in the end, I think it all came together to tell a remarkable story of one family's remarkable bravery in terrible times.
If you enjoy history or WWII stories, I would recommend this book.

Warm weather is officially here, and I love summer cooking! Light, fresh, seasonal produce offers a nice break from the preserved and out of season fruits and veggies. Summers are busy for everyone, which leads to late dinners making it all too easy and convenient to order out or make something quick and unhealthy. One of my favorite parts about summer aka "grill season" is the ability to whip up a simple, delicious dinner in no time.
This whole "recipe" stemmed from sheer laziness. And I say "recipe" because it's merely a guideline that can be adjusted for quantities and herbs (which is why I didn't bother with quantities really). I wanted a healthy and light dinner, but I needed to pack for our move so the meal had to be mostly hands off with little prep (and minimal dirty dishes is always a perk). This one knocked it out of the park! Super simple, minimal dishes, and oh so delicious! It's amazing how sometimes the simplest meals can be the most delicious. Word of advise: make twice the amount of tomatoes and peppers you think you will eat. I had mine for leftovers the next day and they were better than the night before! Seriously, delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I clean the outside of my metal teapot?
- How do I clean the inside of my metal teapot?
- What is the warranty coverage period for my teapot?
- Who do I contact when I have a complaint about a Bredemeijer product?
- Can I acquire spare parts of Bredemeijer products?
- What is the best way to make tea?
- Where can I buy Bredemeijer products?
- The lid of my Bredemeijer teapot is too loose or too tight, how can I solve this?
Q: How do I clean the outside of my metal teapot?
Buff the outside of the teapot with a soft cloth. Small, light scratching or a dull outside of the teapot can be made shiny again with a mild chrome/copper polish.
Do not use any descalers, chemicals, abrasives and/or cleaning agents to clean the inside and outside of the teapot.
Q: How do I clean the inside of my metal teapot?
To remove the (dark brown) lime scale on the inside of the teapot we recommend the following:
It says on the bottom of your teapot whether your teapot is dishwasher safe.
With this icon your teapot is suitable for dishwasher safe.
With this icon, or if no icon is used, your teapot is not dishwasher safe.
If your teapot is dishwasher safe, you can clean it in the dishwasher.
If your teapot is not dishwasher safe, or when there is no symbol or icon indicated, follow the following instructions:
- Fill the teapot with (boiling) hot water and add washing-up liquid
- Allow to soak for a few minutes
- Gently clean the inside with a soft washing-up brush
- Repeat this if necessary
With persistent scale we advise the following:
- Instead of adding washing-up liquid to the hot water, add half a dishwasher tablet
- Allow to soak for one half hour maximum
- Gently clean the inside with a soft washing-up brush and repeat if necessary
This cleaning treatment will remove the scale from the inside surface but may leave light and dark superficial stains. They will not affect the (tea) flavour or your health.
Do not use any descalers, chemicals, abrasives and/or cleaning agents to clean the inside and outside of the teapot. After use, the teapot must be emptied, do not allow water or tea to remain in the teapot.
Q: What is the warranty coverage period for my teapot?
Bredemeijer offers a 2 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Q: Who do I contact when I have a complaint about a Bredemeijer product?
You can take the product and its proof of purchase back to the shop where you bought it.
Q: Can I acquire spare parts of Bredemeijer products?
Yes, various parts such as lids, knobs, handles, felt and inner pots can be acquired at any shop that sells Bredemeijer products. Click here for sales outlets.
Q: What is the best way to make tea?
- The flavour of the tea depends on the water used. Soft, lime deficient water tastes the best. Do not allow the water to boil too long, for this will result in oxygen disappearing from the water. Oxygen ensures a better absorption of the tea aroma.
- Bring the water to the boil. The heat depends on the kind of tea. For black teas the water must be just at the boiling point. For green tea a boiling temperature of 75⁰C is ideal.
- Pre-rinse the teapot with some boiled water. Then fill the teapot with the boiled water. When you fill the teapot at least 90%, the tea will remain warm longer in a double-walled Bredemeijer teapot.
- Preferably use a tea filter with loose tea. It will give the leaves plenty of space to pass their aroma on to the water. You could, of course, also use a teabag in the teapot.
- Stir the tea before pouring it. The tea at the bottom will be stronger than at the top.
- After use, rinse the teapot with hot water.
Q: Where can I buy Bredemeijer products?
You can buy Bredemeijer products at the better specialist tea shops, cookery shops and department stores. Please refer to our website at sales outlets.
Q: The lid of my Bredemeijer teapot is too loose or too tight, how can I solve this?
You can easily solve this problem by following the steps detailed below.
Step 1.
Remove the lid from the teapot. At the side of the teapot you will find three small hooks.
Step 2.
You will need a pointed object that you can insert behind the hook. Preferably the point of a ballpoint. Be careful with sharp objects (screwdriver, knife, nail file, etc.) for these objects can damage the teapot or you could hurt yourself.
Step 3.
You wish to loosen the lid? Place the ballpoint behind a hook and gently press it inwards. In general this slight inward push is sufficient. Do the same with the other two hooks.
You wish to tighten the lid? Then gently push the hooks slightly outward.
Step 4.
Place the lid back on the teapot and check whether it fits properly now. If not, repeat (one of) the steps referred to above.

Unconstitutionally Vague.
Yesterday, a federal appeals court decided that the policy of fining broadcasters for 'indecent language and the like' was unconstitutionally vague. The policy caused a huge issue for broadcasters because they had no way of knowing what would pass muster with the FCC, and what wouldn't.
I have to agree with the court entirely. Here's copy from the actual decision by the UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT. Simple and too the point.
We now hold that the FCC's policy violates the First Amendment because it is unconstitutionally vague, creating a chilling effect that goes far beyond the fleeting expletives at issue here. Thus, we grant the petition for review and vacate the FCC's order and the indecency policy underlying it.

text: 10 Odd Facts About World War II By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted May 23, 2009 4:35 PM CDT 4 comments Comments Polish men are seen in front of a photograph at a recently opened exhibit of photographs taken by the Luftwaffe of Warsaw during World War II, in Warsaw, Poland, Tuesday, April 7, 2009. (AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski) View 2 more images (Newser) – With Memorial Day and the 65th anniversary of Normandy coming up, it's time for a World War II history review. The Chicago Tribune has dug up ten strange facts: Elsie Mitchell and five children died in Gearhart Mountain, Ore., in May 1945, by touching a Japanese "balloon bomb" that had drifted into America. They are the only US mainland war deaths on record. Before fighting in Sicily, Gen. George Patton told his men to kill enemies who kept fighting within 200 yards, even if they surrendered—regardless of international law. The French held fashion queen Coco Chanel over her affair with a young Nazi official. "Really, sir, a woman of my age cannot be expected to look at his passport if she has a chance of a lover," said Chanel, in her 60s. They let her go. Starving outside of Stalingrad, the German army received airlifted supplies including right shoes, 4 tons of spices, and millions of condoms. Shot down in January 1943, American turret gunner Alan Magee ejected without a parachute and plunged 20,000 feet through a train station skylight. He lived and enjoyed backpacking until he died at age 84. Click the link below for more World War II trivia. (Read more World War II stories.) View 2 more images

Keeping one eye on #motogp in Jerez but also cool to know that @Antoniocairoli is narrowing his sights on some #mxgp revenge in 2019. Have a read of the latest post on OTOR: https://t.co/83KlP8hZDR #motocross #racing
In case you missed my stuff from the Valencia tests. Fascinated by Ducati's super-slickshifter gearbox, which a) reduces tyre temperature by reducing the heat spike of each shift, b) allows riders to be smoother, so they can control tyre temperature better https://t.co/0twsOvYMbw
Did Marc Marquez really have it all his own way in 2018? @motomatters examines whether #93's title-winning term was as straightforward (GP of Argentina excluded!) as it seemed: https://t.co/C9uZIhxZBi #motogp #grandprix

Power Yoga for Happiness
"Happiness- that luminous and joyous state of rapture is our natural state." Eoin FinnYoga for Strength, Yoga for Flexibility. Yoga to become the Perfect Meditator. These are all worthwhile goals, but somehow they all seem to involve a struggle for things that are always in the future. But happiness is with us all the time, underlying all we do and Blissology's Power Yoga for Happiness is a celebration of this fact!
Whether you are a beginner to Yoga or a seasoned practitioner, practice at a level that is suited to you. Each routine showcases the yogis demonstrating different options for every pose. Whether you have done yoga once or one thousand times, you will dramatically improve your fitness, increase flexibility, feel more vital and develop a deep-seated sense of calmness, poise and serenity. As with any yoga practice the emphasis is not so much on what you do, but how you do it. Have fun with this DVD. Let it make you feel your best. When you feel your best, it is so easy to give to others.
Pursuit of Happy Hips
Shot against the majestic mountains of Whistler and the stunning beaches of Vancouver, BC, the location of the 2010 Winter Olympics, this Yoga DVD which stars world-class athletes and lululemon elite ambassadors, will be instrumental to both beginner and advanced yogis looking to unlock their full mind-body potential. With over four hours of Blissology flow style yoga designed by Eoin to address the needs of athletes, the routines range in various lengths and intensity levels. You will be hard-pressed to find a more versatile DVD.
Eoin asked the athletes what their needs were when designing these Yoga sequences. He came up with hip-opening, core-strengthening, shoulder-opening, twisting, backbends (front-body stretches); breathing and centering practices. Some routines are physically challenging while some are about chilling out and restoring balance.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Spanish Banks where the sky, ocean and mountains meet in Vancouver, BC., this live vinyasa class is food for your body, mind and soul. Physically, you will burn calories, create lean muscle tone and become more flexible in this no-impact workout. As you transition gracefully from pose to pose, the beautiful setting and the soothing musical score help you to move towards a calm, still and centered place, which is the essence of yoga practice.
This video is a must for all levels of yogis. Beginners: You don't have to be a contortionist to enjoy yoga. The dialogue provides lots of modifications for you. Just listen to your body and work at your own level. Intermediate and Advanced Yogis: Keep the energy flowing and enjoy! The ultimate goal of course is to provide a nurturing environment that will contribute to your experience of bliss and joy in all aspects of your life. Wahoo!

Voters at some precincts Tuesday morning were offered paper ballots due to problems with voting machines.
CANTON Stark County's 911 levy renewal passed easily Tuesday night, according to unofficial totals.
With all precincts reporting, the levy renewal won with 75 percent voting in favor.
The 911 levy renewal was the only countywide issue on the ballot. The 0.1-mill levy costs the owner of a $100,000 home $2.66 a year.
"It's something you should always have," said Troy Taylor, 49, of Alliance, who supported the levy that brings in about $652,407 annually to support the county's 911 service.
Turnout for elections without presidential or gubernatorial races tends to be low. Of 250,644 registered voters, 31 percent cast ballots on Tuesday.
That put turnout above the 25 percent in 2013, which had no countywide issue, but below turnout in 2009, 2005 and 2001, when turnout was close to 40 percent.
Of the two statewide issues on the ballot, Issue 1 on rights for crime victims passed with 86 percent voting in favor while Issue 2 concerning prescription drug prices failed with only 17 percent voting in favor.
The day had some hiccups.
Voters at some precincts Tuesday morning were offered paper ballots due to problems with voting machines.
Issues were reported at polling locations at Girard Gardens Apartments at Tuscarawas Street E and Belden Avenue in Canton, Dogwood Park in North Canton and two Plain Township locations with split precincts where North Canton and Plain Local School District voters cast their ballots
Jeff Matthews, director of the Board of Elections, said there were issues with some voting machines not printing out paper confirmations.
"We're going to have to look at the machines," Matthews said.
He said there could have been a problem with the machines or with the paper in them. The machines record votes in their flash memory and on the tablet itself, in addition to the printed confirmation, he said.
Matthews said he didn't know how many of the machines were taken out of service during the day.
The county also was using electronic poll books for the first time, which took poll workers and voters some getting used to, said Jeanette Mullane, deputy director of the Board of Elections.
