The Epworth League of the Jfurtb em Methodist Ohnrch is a little more than saren years old, bat in that short line it bos grown from a feeble organ- iiation into a mighty army. It now has 17,634 chapters, ooutaining an aggregate of nearly two millions of members, and the Epworth Herald, (be organ of tba League, has 105,-- 000 snbsoribere. Tbs idea thkt a country has only ona^If|i(ional flf^ is almost universal, bat'generally wrong. For example, Great Britaip, her colonies and depen¬ dencies, have 118.

Tbe State of Alabama locks a pictnrs ot Oovernor Israel Pickens to com¬ plete its collection of portraits of thoae who have filled tbe executive ohair, Bnt there is a report current that an oil painting of Oovernor Pick¬ ens nsed to ornament the cabin ot an old-time river pocket that bore bis name, and an eCTort is being made to dis- ooTer its present whereabouts if still extant. Oovernor Pickens was eleated in 1836.

In consequence of this Uw a handsome English church Qnds itseli in great distress. The graceful build. ing has recently been restored in the most approved style at tbe cost ut about 960,000, aud one of the mem- bers of the congregatiuii has iusiHtcd in thrusting his unsightly family pew in tbe midst of all this beauty. As the pew is ahnge, rude, box-like affair, tbe vicar is iu great distress and ha: labored in vain to argue the truulilo- some layman into a more reasouabU <tate of mind. Harvard College raised money by t lottery as late as 1806. In tbat yeai it offered for sale 20.000 tickets at «.' each, the prises ranging from SIS.IMM down to f7.

Here's an inventory of my charms: Item uDSt pug nose; item tw^o, green- gray eyes; item three, wbat papa calls my 'peaches-and-cream' complexion; it wouldn't be bad if it were not for tbe freckles, and I suppose that I shall have moro than ever uuw that I'm out in the oouutry." "Never mind the freckles, child; they's real becumin' when you've only got a few—kinder like so many beauty sputa," Patty laughed gaily, "I'm so glad youthiuk so, but talk¬ ing of beauty, wbat a delicious place this isl" It was .\unl Sheba's turn to laugh. "What, this kitcheni I like it because it's home, I guess, but I never thought there was anything very edifyin' About it." "Oh, I don't mean tbe kitchetl par¬ ticularly, though it's nice and homejr, but itlsl look out,''and Patty put duwu hor dish-towel and stepped to tbe door to feast her eyes on what lay before. The hillside with its orchard of bloom, tho rough stoDD wall, the well id the foreground, all appeillod to tho girl's iunate love of tbe beautiful. "It's a perfect picture," she ei- slaimed; "Milly must come bore on bar wedding trip, but it won't look the same in the fall, will it, Auntie?" "Not exactly; I always thought my¬ self tbem peaob bluws was a sight ivurth seeiu'," admitted Aunt Shells, uut without a eertain satisfaction that her surroundings should And favor in Iho eyes of her city-bred uieco un this ber flrst visit to the form. Patty, bad come to tho country for n stay of several months preparatory tu settling ilowu as bumemnker in Mil¬ dred's place wheu the latter shuuld be married. "Be just as mucb of a littlo girl as you can," her father had said in parting, aud Patty was glad t<i luy aside her diKnily,uuiI forget the wvigbt llf ber eigbleeu years. Thero was a freshness uud free.luiii aliuiit the coun¬ try lifo that charmed the girl—a lack uf cuuvcutiuualily iu thusu whom she met most refreshing to the towu-\>rcd mutden. Patty had been at the homestead bnt a shurt time when a change seemed to come over tho house. The sun luuuked intu tbe best rouni every day instead of once a week; the chairs had a more in¬ viting louk drawn away frum the wall and arranged with less military pre¬ cision, while applo blnssoms bluumed in.loors as well as out. Nor was the girl's iulluvnce ci.nliued tu uue ruum. lu the kitchen,Auut Sheba found dish¬ washing a pleasure with Patty's nim¬ ble Augers t.i help, aud Patty's tongue making a lively occumpaniment to thu rattle uf .plates au.l cups, while Uncle Eph tuok a uew pride iu his pusses- siuus since a certaiu little ligure, cruwned with a large straw hat, ..ften accompanied biui un Ills ruun.ls ulu.ul the farm, aud never failed tu be intei'- ested iu what she saw.

"Nu, I can't iiul that mi," said .\nnt Shelio to herself. "Pink is « culur fur young folks, sorter bright aud rosy like them. Uut t'.i.Me muat be s.nne- lliing ill here that'll do." The uext minute she laid a Ireni1iliui« hand ou n t'rnshftd i-ed rose, Ihe Bifjhl -if whi.-li called Up a iloo.l bf teuder menuiries, "How the baby did act thut diiy!

"Just think, she'd been almost oi big as Patty. Well, there's no use ii repiuiu', I won't luok at these things any longer. I've gut Epbrnim, and I'll be thankful for him, and for Patty, too, while sbe's here. If she'd only come every summer, I'd 'most feel as if I had a daughter of my own.

If I cnn oulyplonao Pattj', I'll bo StttisUed." Aunt HhebS reploCed her treasures, and went uut to prepare supper and see what the effedtofhel' Cxperimeul wuuld be. Hhe was more than satisfied with Patty's, "How ni<!e yuu louk, Auntie!" and Unele Eph's look of approval as he tuok his seat at the ia,h]e. After thnt mony little improvements wero noticeable in Aunt Hhelis's tlressi while she and her louking-glass wero oU terms of greater intimacy than they had boeu fur years, as fhe needed its assistance ilaily in tho ad¬ justment of the various collars and bows that now formed a part uf her afterutwu toilet. But the mirror reflected not ouly tho pretty and becuming neckwear, but alsu held up to view all her ilefects, chief of which wns thecomplexiuu that was a source of uo littlo anxiety to Anut Sheba. It seemed to grow more muddy each thiy. aud if she herself noticed it so much, bow very disagree¬ able it must Appear to Patly. It was with a resolve to try to remedy this that .\uut Hheba unu hoi duy iu early July found herself in the oue drug slore of Bruwnville, u littlo villnj<e nbuut twu milea frum the furiu where .\nnt Hheba did'her shuppiug.

The decimal system is a positional numeral system; it has positions for units, tens, hundreds, etc. The position of each digit conveys the multiplier (a power of ten) to be used with that digit—each position has a value ten times that of the position to its right.
Ten is the number which is the count of fingers and thumbs on both hands (or toes on the feet). In many languages the word digit or its translation is also the anatomical term referring to fingers and toes. In English, decimal (decimus < Lat.) means tenth, decimate means reduce by a tenth, and denary (denarius < Lat.) means the unit of ten. The symbols for the digits in common use around the globe today are called Arabic numerals by Europeans and Indian numerals by Arabs, the two groups' terms both referring to the culture from which they learned the system. However, the symbols used in different areas are not identical; for instance, Western Arabic numerals (from which the European numerals are derived) differ from the forms used by other Arab cultures.
Some cultures do, or used to, use other numeral systems, including pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures such as the Maya, who use a vigesimal system (using all twenty fingers and toes), some Nigerians who use several duodecimal (base 12) systems, the Babylonians, who used sexagesimal (base 60), and the Yuki, who reportedly used quaternal (base 4).
Computer hardware and software systems commonly use a binary representation, internally (although a few of the earliest computers, such as ENIAC, did use decimal representation internally). For external use by computer specialists, this binary representation is sometimes presented in the related octal or hexadecimal systems. For most purposes, however, binary values are converted to the equivalent decimal values for presentation to and manipulation by humans.
Both computer hardware and software also use internal representations which are effectively decimal for storing decimal values and doing arithmetic. Often this arithmetic is done on data which are encoded using binary-coded decimal, but there are other decimal representations in use (see IEEE 754r), especially in database implementations. Decimal arithmetic is used in computers so that decimal fractional results can be computed exactly, which is not possible using a binary fractional representation. This is often important for financial and other calculations.
A decimal fraction is a fraction where the denominator is a power of ten.
Decimal fractions are commonly expressed without a denominator, the decimal separator being inserted into the numerator (with leading zeros added if needed), at the position from the right corresponding to the power of ten of the denominator. e.g., 8/10, 83/100, 83/1000, and 8/10000 are expressed as: 0.8, 0.83, 0.083, and 0.0008. In English-speaking and many Asian countries, a period (.) is used as the decimal separator; in many other languages, a comma is used.
The integer part or integral part of a decimal number is the part to the left of the decimal separator (see also floor function). The part from the decimal separator to the right is the fractional part; if considered as a separate number, a zero is often written in front. Especially for negative numbers, we have to distinguish between the fractional part of the notation and the fractional part of the number itself, because the latter gets its own minus sign. It is usual for a decimal number whose absolute value is less than one to have a leading zero.
Trailing zeros after the decimal point are not necessary, although in science, engineering and statistics they can be retained to indicate a required precision or to show a level of confidence in the accuracy of the number: Whereas 0.080 and 0.08 are numerically equal, in engineering 0.080 suggests a measurement with an error of up to 1 part in two thousand (±0.0005), while 0.08 suggests a measurement with an error of up to 1 in two hundred (see Significant figures).
Ten is the product of the first and third prime numbers, is one greater than the square of the second prime number, and is one less than the fifth prime number. This leads to plenty of simple decimal fractions:
That a rational number must have a finite or recurring decimal expansion can be seen to be a consequence of the long division algorithm, in that there are only q-1 possible nonzero remainders on division by q, so that the recurring pattern will have a period less than q. For instance to find 3/7 by long division:
.4 2 8 5 7 1 4 ...
7 ) 3.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
2 8 30/7 = 4 r 2
2 0
1 4 20/7 = 2 r 6
6 0
5 6 60/7 = 8 r 4
4 0
3 5 40/7 = 5 r 5
5 0
4 9 50/7 = 7 r 1
1 0
7 10/7 = 1 r 3
3 0
2 8 30/7 = 4 r 2 (again)
2 0
The converse to this observation is that every recurring decimal represents a rational number p/q. This is a consequence of the fact the recurring part of a decimal representation is, in fact, an infinite geometric series which will sum to a rational number. For instance,
Every real number has a (possibly infinite) decimal representation, i.e., it can be written as
Such a sum converges as i decreases, even if there are infinitely many nonzero ai.
Rational numbers (e.g. p/q) with prime factors in the denominator other than 2 and 5 (when reduced to simplest terms) have a unique recurring decimal representation.
Consider those rational numbers which have only the factors 2 and 5 in the denominator, i.e. which can be written as p/(2a5b). In this case there is a terminating decimal representation. For instance 1/1=1, 1/2=0.5, 3/5=0.6, 3/25=0.12 and 1306/1250=1.0448. Such numbers are the only real numbers which don't have a unique decimal representation, as they can also be written as a representation that has a recurring 9, for instance 1=0.99999…, 1/2=0.499999…, etc.
This leaves the irrational numbers. They also have unique infinite decimal representation, and can be characterised as the numbers whose decimal representations neither terminate nor recur.
So in general the decimal representation is unique, if one excludes representations that end in a recurring 9.
Naturally, the same trichotomy holds for other base-n positional numeral systems:
and a version of this even holds for irrational-base numeration systems, such as golden mean base representation.
There follows a chronological list of recorded decimal writers.
Incan languages such as Quechua and Aymara have an almost straightforward decimal system, in which 11 is expressed as ten with one and 23 as two-ten with three.
Some psychologists suggest irregularities of numerals in a language may hinder children's counting ability.

Oldcastle prepares to enter new phase in the downtownBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | March 19,2013BENNINGTON After a single show staged in December, the Oldcastle Theatre Company is about to kick off its first real season at its new Main Street home Friday with the opening performance of Around the World in 80 Days.
Eric Peterson, producing artistic director and the director of Around the World, said its an exciting time for the theater company because of the show, the new season and other events that Oldcastle is planning to take advantage of their home in the heart of the downtown which include concerts and childrens theater.
Our goal is that, in addition to our productions each year, we will present up to 50 other events. ... I think people will be excited. It will mean that this building will be very busy and it will mean that many, many nights this year, something in the neighborhood of 160 to 175 nights this year, there will be something going on in this building for the public, he said.
Oldcastle was formerly located at the Bennington Center for the Arts on Route 9 but moved to a Main Street site, once used by the Knights of Columbus, last year. The company staged a new play, Northern Boulevard, in December because Peterson said he didnt want a whole calendar year to pass without an Oldcastle production, but the theater went dark for the last few months so the building could be converted to its new use.
By Friday, workers should be finished with the lobby, Peterson said. After Around the World, the theater will stay dormant for a few more weeks to finish making changes that will make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and then productions will run through the year.
Upcoming productions include Other Peoples Money, plays about Sherlock Holmes and painter Grandma Moses and a summer return for Northern Boulevard with new songs.
Peterson said he was pleased with the work done on the building.
Its much more open. Its new carpeting, its a new paint job, its new plastered walls. We think it looks sensational, he said.
Of course, an impressive theater is only a showcase for the performances. Peterson said audience members were in for a treat with Around the World, which runs through April 7.
Its a wonderful, funny, adventurous show. Weve had a great deal of fun with it and learning about Jules Vernes original, he said.
Peterson said one of the things that will make the show a fun experience is that it takes advantage of being a theatrical production by offering things that audiences cant get from television or movies. There are five actors in the show and they play almost 40 different characters.
The changes in characters are so rapid that (the actors) have to do it with a hat or a coat or a beard thats suddenly put on and, boom, theyre a different person. I think thats always fun for actors and always fun for audiences. ... If in television or film, an actor plays lots of roles it becomes all about make-up and on stage it has to happen very, very rapidly so it has to be done with the actors talent, he said.
The characters are also larger-than-life, which Peterson said is fun for actors to play, and the play is an adventure with humor.

One thing I have always seen on neowin is most the of the young people pour so much OVERKILL into anything they do with computers. They do not realize they don't need most (if any at all) of their "projected" extra measures.
I have to disagree with some of these people.

If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.

Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.

Last month, we talked about using the Zex Perimeter Plate nitrous-oxide system on a '72 Stingray, and covered the basic installation. Since the Zex system requires 6 psi of fuel running to the fuel solenoid (lest you risk engine damage), I added a low-fuel-pressure warning light and a kill switch to make sure the system would shut down if pressure got too low. In this installment, we'll cover making sure the system gets enough fuel, adding a safety blown-down and purge, and upgrading the nitrous controls in the cockpit.
One of the things I learned early on was that the fuel pump in my car simply couldn't deliver the amount of fuel needed to safely run both the nitrous and the Holley Race Series carb that feeds the small-block. It also had a nasty habit of losing pressure as the car warmed up, dropping from more than 6 psi to around 3 psi once the car reached operating temperature.
Although Zex does offer "booster" fuel pumps, the company doesn't make a standalone pump for my application, so my tech consultant there referred me to Holley. Long a performance mainstay, Holley's Blue electric fuel pump comes in 90- and 110-gallon-per-hour (gph) configurations, either of which is plenty to feed a carbureted 350. These pumps even include a regulator to adjust the pressure to meet your needs.
Holley supplied us with a 110-gph Blue pump, as well as a wiring harness and a new billet regulator. Although I opted not to completely re-plumb the fuel system with braided-steel AN line, Earl's supplied 90-degree NPT fittings with its Ano-Tuff hard anodized finish to get the fuel from the regulator to the nitrous system. While most aluminum fittings undergo anodizing, a process designed to harden the surface of this relatively soft material, hard anodizing produces a tougher, more durable finish of the sort found on tactical flashlights for law-enforcement or military use.
Installing the fuel pump was more involved than it might seem, requiring that the spare-tire assembly be removed and the fuel tank dropped. Although it's possible to mount the pump to the frame forward of the tank without removing the latter, we decided to place ours on top of the framerail beside the tank, where it was more protected. Using a bandsaw, we cut a piece of sheet aluminum and made a bracket to hold the pump, then drilled a pair of holes in the frame to mount it. Holley includes a rubber spacer to help isolate the vibration of the pump, and you'll want to make sure you install it.
Wiring the pump was much simpler, thanks in part to the diagram included with the harness. You'll need switched power, a ground, and a power source coming into the included relay. I pulled power from the positive terminal of the alternator and grounded the relay to the engine block, then ran that power from the relay to the pump at the rear of the car. Basically, I followed the frame-mounted fuel lines, getting above or behind them where I could, and zip-tied everything into place. Once I got power to the pump, Dave Emanuel, who did the heavy lifting on the pump installation, wired in a weather-pack connector for both the power and the ground, so the pump can be unplugged if it ever needs to be removed.
We re-ran all the rubber fuel lines with ethanol-compatible 3?8-inch hose from O'Reilly. When it came time to install the regulator, we found that a 3/8-inch NPT close union made it possible to literally screw the regulator and the dual-feed directly together. We used a 3/8-inch hose barb on the inlet side, then screwed the Earl's 90-degree fittings together to make a 180-degree turn back to the nitrous system on the other outlet.
With everything plumbed, it was time to set the fuel pressure. Zex recommends setting the pressure before the solenoid at 6 psi when flowing. The tool Zex sells for this purpose is a precision pressure gauge with a selection of fittings on the inlet side and a braided-steel line on the other side that holds one of a series of fuel jets. Using the included chart, select the jet that corresponds with the setup you've got; it will approximate the amount of fuel passing through the system when you're running nitrous. Hook it up--in my case, by screwing it into the inline fitting containing the low-pressure sending unit and kill switch--put the end of the braided hose into a catch can, and turn on the fuel pump. Use a wrench to loosen the jam nut on the regulator, and adjust it with a hex key until you have the right amount of pressure. ("In" means higher pressure, "out" means lower.) I set the pressure at a little more than 6 psi, just to provide a margin of error.
Another safety consideration is that of a blow-down tube. Frequently required by racetracks, a blow-down consists of a fitting that attaches to the burst disc fitting on the tank, and connects to a hose or pipe that routes to the outside of the car. If the pressure should get too high in your nitrous tank, generally as a result of heat in the car, the disc ruptures before the tank would. The tube contains and directs the gas out of the car, so you don't wind up with a car full of noxious fumes and/or shrapnel.
Zex offers two blow-down kits: one a hard aluminum tube, and the other an AN-based hose, which is the one I requested. It consists of a pair of hose ends, a length of black (non-steel) braided AN line, a bulwark fitting, and the fittings and burst discs. The instructions only direct you to ensure that the burst-disc fitting is torqued to 30 pounds, leaving the rest of the assembly up to your imagination.
