Pool was lovely and clean. Good breakfast and options available (also good value for money being included in the price). Key locks on the room doors didn't work so well so it was a bit difficult. Would have been nice to have some guidance on local restaurants, bars, places to go as staff weren't too informed. But good stay otherwise!

Cheap & Chic: Bistro Voltaire's Latest Menu Is Magnifique
Hopefully, you've checked out our rad post on the eight must-see shows of 2013. Personally, we can't wait to check out Jekyll and Hyde...even though it's not the first time we've met a man with split personalities. But before you get settled into that theater seat, a little sustenance is definitely in order, and what better way to fill your tank than with some stick-to-your-ribs French fare.
Bistro Voltaire is extending its Monday night prix fixe menu (available from 5 to 11 p.m.) to accommodate Tuesday through Thursday theatergoers. For just $29 per person, you get your choice from an array of sumptuous options, like classic French onion soup, braised escargot with a garlic herb butter and puff pastry, boeuf bourguignon, gateau au chocolat, and several others. The only drawback? You might find yourself sleeping through the opening act due to a major food coma. We'll take our chances.

Thank you, Joel Silver. The Matrix producer has come out and said that he's not a fan of converting movies into 3D, and "hopes" that such a fate doesn't await the Keanu Reeves Invisibles homage. Talking to MTV, he said,
I think the conversion to 3-D is not as effective as the movies that are created and invented and devised in 3-D… I mean look– you're charging a lot more money for tickets and I think we should go out there with the real deal. Certain films, you can apply 3-D to them really well. And certain [other] films, maybe not. I hope they don't try to do that with 'The Matrix.' I think it's a 2-D movie and it should stay like that.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Hollywood may need more people like Joel Silver. What a sobering thought.
I think the Matrix would look a little too gimicky in 3-D. Like some Universal Studios ride.
So….Joel Silver. How about getting some Mattrix comic books on the shelves? Yes, I know the Wachowski's did that, but I need an ongoing. Talk to Dynamite, Dark Horse, or IDW.
the only time I ever heard of Joel Silver was when the first Matrix came out. Other than that I can't identify the dude with any other movie since 1999.

Trigonometric integral
In mathematics, the trigonometric integrals are a family of integrals involving trigonometric functions. A number of the basic trigonometric integrals are discussed at the list of integrals of trigonometric functions.
- 1 Sine integral
- 2 Cosine integral
- 3 Hyperbolic sine integral
- 4 Hyperbolic cosine integral
- 5 Auxiliary functions
- 6 Nielsen's spiral
- 7 Expansion
- 8 Relation with the exponential integral of imaginary argument
- 9 Efficient evaluation
- 10 See also
- 11 References
- 12 External links
Sine integral[edit]
The different sine integral definitions are
By definition, Si(x) is the antiderivative of sin x / x which is zero for x = 0; and si(x) is the antiderivative of sin x / x which is zero for x = ∞. Their difference is given by the Dirichlet integral,
Note that sin x / x is the sinc function, and also the zeroth spherical Bessel function.
In signal processing, the oscillations of the sine integral cause overshoot and ringing artifacts when using the sinc filter, and frequency domain ringing if using a truncated sinc filter as a low-pass filter.
Related is the Gibbs phenomenon: if the sine integral is considered as the convolution of the sinc function with the heaviside step function, this corresponds to truncating the Fourier series, which is the cause of the Gibbs phenomenon.
Cosine integral[edit]
The different cosine integral definitions are
where γ is the Euler–Mascheroni constant. Some texts use ci instead of Ci.
Ci(x) is the antiderivative of cos x / x (which vanishes at ). The two definitions are related by
Hyperbolic sine integral[edit]
The hyperbolic sine integral is defined as
Hyperbolic cosine integral[edit]
The hyperbolic cosine integral is
- ,
where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.
It has the series expansion .
Auxiliary functions[edit]
Trigonometric integrals can be understood in terms of the so-called "auxiliary functions"
- .
Using these functions, the trigonometric integrals may be re-expressed as (cf Abramowitz & Stegun, p. 232)
Nielsen's spiral[edit]
The spiral formed by parametric plot of si , ci is known as Nielsen's spiral. It is also referred to as the Euler spiral, the Cornu spiral, a clothoid, or as a linear-curvature polynomial spiral.
The spiral is also closely related to the Fresnel integrals. This spiral has applications in vision processing, road and track construction and other areas.
Various expansions can be used for evaluation of trigonometric integrals, depending on the range of the argument.
Asymptotic series (for large argument)[edit]
These series are asymptotic and divergent, although can be used for estimates and even precise evaluation at ℜ(x) ≫ 1.
Convergent series[edit]
These series are convergent at any complex x, although for |x | ≫ 1 the series will converge slowly initially, requiring many terms for high precision
Relation with the exponential integral of imaginary argument[edit]
The function
is called the exponential integral. It is closely related to Si and Ci,
As each respective function is analytic except for the cut at negative values of the argument, the area of validity of the relation should be extended to (Outside this range, additional terms which are integer factors of π appear in the expression.)
Cases of imaginary argument of the generalized integro-exponential function are
which is the real part of
Efficient evaluation[edit]
Padé approximants of the convergent Taylor series provide an efficient way to evaluate the functions for small arguments.

The Graduate: Matt Shoemaker, RHP: A 27-year-old rookie (who recently turned 28), Shoemaker produced excellent numbers in 2014 — especially given his lack of hype or pedigree. The right-hander succeeded despite average velocity due to plus control and an outstanding splitter. It will be interesting to see if he can repeat his success in 2015.

AbstractWe will develop a novel hemostatic, antimicrobial, resorbable, nanofiber dressing utilizing proven hemorrhage control technology in combination with novel advanced technologies. The nanofiber dressing will be prepared using scaleable Nanospider™ electrospinning technology. Nanofiber Based Dressing Constructs (NBDCs) can be prepared to have physical and chemical attributes that closely resemble natural biologic matrix forms such as the body's extracellular matrix. Because of these characteristics, NBDCs are readily conformable with complex injuries and provide for rapid delivery of hemostatic and antimicrobial functionality. We will investigate the use of a new absorbable, hemostatic, electrospinnable chitosan derivative. The chitosan derivative resorbs rapidly and meets ISO 10993 requirements for a resorbable implantable material. HemCon has performed allergenic human trials using the original base chitosan and has demonstrated absence of shrimp or other allergic responses in hypersensitive individuals. Chitosan surface area, in conjunction with shear promotes platelet activation of clotting. The very high specific surface area of chitosan in the NBDC provides significant advantages in controlling hemorrhage and addressing contamination. HemCon will partner with Haemostatix Ltd to further enhance hemostatic activity by the conjugation of a fibrinogen binding peptide (GPRP) to the NBDC. Initial studies demonstrate that peptide surface coating will control hemorrhage within one minute.

The Dunedin-based footwear company created 200 one-of-a-kind
boots for Peter Jackson's latest trilogy, The Hobbit.
Company directors Graeme and David McKinlay said the fifth
generation-owned business had become involved with film and
television productions during the past decade, including
King Kong, Lord of the Rings, River
Queen, 10,000 BC, Power Rangers and now
The Hobbit.
Once the company received the concept from The
Hobbit's wardrobe department, an orthotist produced
made-to-measure boots sized between 8 and 12 (but not for the
hobbits themselves - their oversized feet did not require
Younger brother David McKinlay told the Otago Daily
Times the movie-supplying side of the business had grown
via ''word of mouth'' with clients.
''It is a nice extra for us, because it helps cover the wages
on certain people because you won't cover their costs purely
on factory production.''
For Jack Black's character in King Kong, Peter Jackson sent
some original World War 1 flying boots from his personal
collection to be replicated for the film.
That earlier work had paid off for the company, with The
Hobbit its biggest film footwear order to date.
''There is a lot of work. They are all cut by hand and
assembled by hand,'' Graeme McKinlay said.
The company's ability to meet tight production schedules gave
it an advantage over foreign counterparts, ''as they ring you
on Monday and want them on Thursday''.
The brothers said they had no idea which character wore which
pair, because the footwear tended to come with vague
descriptions such as ''palace boot''.
The finished product was likely to look very different, with
the film's wardrobe department likely to add extra colours
and details.
''But if we watch it in freeze frame we can probably
recognise our boots,'' Graeme McKinlay said.

- Camera and Wakelock to run the Torch (Flashlight)
- Vibration
Most used app on my phone Update 03.04.2016 - Better but the issue I mentioned bellow is still there....I really appreciate all the work dev has done on this app. This is the most used app on my device. The latest version has introduced some issues on my Galaxy Note 4 running 5.0.1. I am using Xposed 80.1 for TouchWiz. I now have to set the delay to 5 secconds as anything less will turn the light at random on when using home key. Waiting for dev to optimize it again in the next release...For now I am back to 2.1.4 which works great.
INCOMPATIBLE with CLEAR COVER Turn on flashlight by volume up doesn't work while using official samsung clear cover case. I gotta open the clear cover then use power button to sleep then long press the volume up to turn on the flashlight. This defeats the purpose of this app.
Not sure why it's even needed. Holding down Vol Up with my screen locked turns the torch on anyway.
Fix it please Kbhi kam krti he kbhi nhi krti...
No volume down option There should be option like: volume down-on, volume up-off
not working
What's New
Fixed a regression on some Android 5.1- Roms
On Android 6.0+ you can run the torch all the time even if in the deep sleep mode, but on android 5.1 and bellow, you need to press the volume button at least one time then hold down to run the torch if you want to wake up the device from deep sleep.

Fantasy Forecaster last updated Monday, May 11 at 1:10 p.m. ET.
On tap: A much lighter week than the one before, Week 6 features a rekindling of the Red Sox-Angels recent postseason rivalry in Anaheim; the Blue Jays finally getting tested by games against their chief American League East rivals, with three against the Yankees to begin the week; and the Manny Ramirez-less Dodgers getting a rematch with their NLCS foes the Phillies, with three games in Philadelphia.
Speaking of the Phillies, both they and the Nationals get an extra game this week, with a doubleheader scheduled between the two on Saturday in the nation's capital. The Angels might also welcome back both John Lackey and Ervin Santana to their rotation by week's end.
Quick click by section, if you're seeking advice in a specific area:
Team advantages | Weather report | Load up: Hitters
Sleeper hitters | Load up: Stolen bases | Load up: Pitchers
Projected starters | Two-start rankings | One-start bargains
Team advantages
The chart below lists each of the 30 MLB teams' number of games scheduled ("Gm"), home games ("Hm"), games versus right- and left-handed pitchers ("vs. RHP" and "vs. LHP") and games at either hitter- or pitcher- friendly ballparks.
* Note: Nationals' totals versus right- and left-handed pitchers exclude Saturday doubleheader game against the Phillies, whose starter is unclear. Rangers' totals versus right- and left-handed pitchers exclude Friday and Saturday games against the Angels, whose starters are unclear. (Those might be John Lackey and Ervin Santana starts.)
Weather report
Oh, sure, now we get those proverbial "May flowers," a week after a packed one on the baseball schedule. Looking at the early weather reports, Week 6 should be a beautiful one, with few games dealing with a high probability of rain. There's slight risk of rain in Chicago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the early portion of the week, but that's about it, and that's not at all surprising considering those are the three cities that have been most threatened by rain in the month of May since 2001.
Weatherproof games: Yankees at Blue Jays (3, Tue-Thu); White Sox at Blue Jays (3, Fri-Sun); Marlins at Brewers (3, Tue-Thu); Reds at Diamondbacks (3, Mon-Wed); Red Sox at Mariners (3, Fri-Sun); Indians at Rays (4, Thu-Sun); Tigers at Twins (3, Tue-Thu).
Load up: Hitters
The teams listed below have the most favorable overall hitting matchups, accounting for recent performance, strength of opponents and ballpark factors.
Rays (@BAL-2, CLE-4): This team has scored 150 runs in 23 games against the Orioles since the beginning of last season, 6.5 per contest, including 70 in 12 contests at Camden Yards during that span. But it's not like the two games in Baltimore are the ones you're wondering about; it's the four against Cleveland that might not strike you as hitting-friendly matchups. Consider this: The four Indians starters the Rays are scheduled to face -- their entire rotation minus Cliff Lee -- have a combined 4-7 record, 6.80 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18 starts, each of them sporting an ERA north of six. Expect a big week from the Rays, who had scored 52 runs in winning six of their past eight games through this past Thursday.
Blue Jays (NYY-3, CHW-3): Even if you want to make the case that this is Toronto's first real test against an elite AL East team, the Blue Jays face two left-handed Yankee starters, CC Sabathia and Andy Pettitte, and they have an .881 OPS against southpaws this season, third-best in the majors. This is also an offense that scored 14 runs against Gavin Floyd and the White Sox on April 24, and they'll face Floyd again Sunday, not to mention another left-hander (John Danks) on Friday. I find it hard to believe this is the week that Aaron Hill, Adam Lind, Marco Scutaro and the hot-out-of-the-gate Blue Jays finally begin cooling off.
Nationals (@SF-3, PHI-4): News flash, this team can hit! Each of the Nationals' starting outfielders has an OPS of .876 or better, and each of their starting infielders has a batting average of .328 or better. This team has totaled 32 runs in five games against the Phillies already this year, and Philadelphia sports the second-highest ERA of any National League team (5.39). Enjoy it while it lasts, as Nick Johnson shouldn't be expected to stay healthy, Cristian Guzman shouldn't be able to maintain a near-.400 batting average, and Elijah Dukes shouldn't be able to remain this maddeningly consistent. But, at least for this week, I'd bank on the Nats.
Cubs (SD-3, HOU-3): The Cubs tend to dominate at Wrigley Field, winners of 69 of their past 102 home games (67.6 percent) and outscoring their opponents by 138 runs during that span (an average 1.4-run margin of victory per game). Kosuke Fukudome and Derrek Lee have an OPS more than 75 points higher at home than on the road since the beginning of 2008, and every member of the Opening Day lineup has an .800-plus career OPS at Wrigley except for Ryan Theriot, whose batting average there is .302, and Milton Bradley, who has played all of 13 games there. That alleviates concerns that the Cubbies draw Jake Peavy, Chris Young and Roy Oswalt as opponents in three of their six games.
Tristan's sleeper hitters
Russell Branyan, 1B/3B, Mariners: Has averaged one homer per 11.5 ABs 2008-09; 5 HRs, 1.001 OPS in 14 career games at Rangers Ballpark
Billy Butler, 1B, Royals: .441 BA, 2 HRs, 9 RBIs, 1.208 OPS in his past 9 games
Pedro Feliz, 3B, Phillies: .348 BA, 10 RBIs, .937 OPS in 14 home games in 2009; .263 BA, .912 OPS versus left-handers in 2009
Franklin Gutierrez, OF, Mariners: .433 BA, 2 HRs, 1.148 OPS in his past 8 games; .370 BA, .874 OPS in 11 career games at Rangers Ballpark
Jason Kubel, OF, Twins: .347 BA, 1.006 OPS versus right-handers in 2009
Kazuo Matsui, 2B, Astros: .348 BA, .889 OPS in 66 career games at Coors Field
Kendry Morales, 1B/OF, Angels: .286 BA, 2 HRs, .820 OPS in 11 career games at Rangers Ballpark; .301 BA, .957 OPS versus right-handers in 2009
Mike Napoli, C, Angels: .359 BA, 3 HRs, 1.200 OPS in 15 career games at Rangers Ballpark; 3-for-6, 2 HRs in 2 games versus Red Sox in 2009
Ryan Spilborghs, OF, Rockies: .325 BA,.909 OPS in 135 career games at Coors Field; career OPS versus left-handers 110 points higher than versus right-handers
Jayson Werth, OF, Phillies: .276 BA, .814 OPS in 128 career games at Citizens Bank Park; .304 BA, .973 OPS versus left-handers in 2009
Load up: Stolen bases
Favorable matchups listed below are selected based upon opponents' catchers allowing a high rate of steals attempts and/or having low caught-stealing percentages.
Giants (WAS-3, NYM-4): This Giants team has shown a tendency to take risks on the base paths in home games, having racked up 11 of their 18 team steals at AT&T Park (in 14 games, compared to 13 on the road), and if there's any prime example of that, it's that Pablo Sandoval is a perfect 2-for-2 in the category at home. With Brian Schneider still ailing for the Mets -- he has added a calf injury to his previous back problems -- the Giants should be able to capitalize on a set of weak-armed backstops, including Ramon Castro, who has nailed only 20 percent of opposing baserunners (12 of 60) since 2007.
Angels (BOS-3, @TEX-3): Chone Figgins might have been your pick to lead this team in steals in 2009, but through this past Thursday's games, you might be surprised to learn that Bobby Abreu paces the Angels with 11 (a full-year pace of 74). Abreu routinely beats up on Jason Varitek and the Red Sox; he has swiped 10 bags successfully in 11 tries in 53 games against Boston since 2006, and that includes the two he had in the teams' recent three-game series. If there's any team that might have caught wind of what Carl Crawford recently did to Varitek and planned to exploit the catcher down the road, Mike Scioscia's is a prime one.
Indians (CHW-3, @TB-4): The Indians ripped apart the base paths against the White Sox in 2008, swiping 11 bags (in 15 chances) in their 18 meetings, not that it's shocking considering A.J. Pierzynski has ranked as one of the worst catchers at gunning down opposing baserunners since the beginning of last season. He has surrendered 116 stolen bases since Opening Day 2008 and only gunned down 23 base stealers, a pathetic 16.5 percent. Besides the obvious Grady Sizemore, the Indians are generating impressive speed from Shin-Soo Choo (six steals), Asdrubal Cabrera (five) and Ben Francisco (four), and I expect their wheels will keep spinning this week.
Dodgers (@PHI-3, @FLA-3): Carlos Ruiz is back for the Phillies but that's hardly a good thing; he has surrendered 69 steals (out of 91 chances) to opposing baserunners since the beginning of last season and 137 (in 188 chances) in 254 games behind the plate in his career. Here's the other thing: The Marlins tend to use Ronny Paulino at catcher when facing a left-handed starter, the Dodgers will trot out two lefties in that series (Eric Stults and Clayton Kershaw) and Paulino has served up 17 steals in his 14 games behind the plate thus far. Newly crowned left fielder Juan Pierre should thrive as he returns to his old stomping grounds of Land Shark Stadium (formerly Dolphin Stadium), and I'd bank on the team as a whole taking more chances on the base paths to make up for the run production they lost to Manny Ramirez's suspension.
Load up: Pitchers
The teams listed below have the most favorable overall pitching matchups, accounting for recent performance, strength of opponents and ballpark factors.
Cubs (SD-3, HOU-3): The Cubs tend to dominate at Wrigley Field, winners of OK, you get the idea, this team is gooooooood at Wrigley. That's especially true for the rotation, where Ted Lilly has a 3.79 ERA and 1.11 WHIP for his career; Ryan Dempster has won 15 of his past 18 decisions and registered a 2.98 ERA in his past 22 starts; and Rich Harden has a 3.25 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 13.5 strikeouts-per-nine innings ratio in 10 starts since coming over from Oakland in a trade in July. The Cubs need those three, as well as Sean Marshall, he of the 4.12 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 30 starts since 2007, to maintain that level of performance with Carlos Zambrano on the DL. Considering they'll be facing two of the game's 10 weakest offenses, I'd say no one will even notice Zambrano is gone.
Tigers (@MIN-3, OAK-3): Admit it, you're excited that Dontrelle Willis is due back in their rotation on Wednesday, right? Right? OK, so that's not why I made the pick; I did so because between Armando Galarraga, Edwin Jackson, Rick Porcello and Justin Verlander (back-to-back stellar outings), this team currently has four other starters you can rely on in fantasy. Or, at least, I can claim that with confidence this week when the Tigers face the two weakest offenses in the American League; Minnesota's .637 team OPS is second-to-last and Oakland's .573 is by far the worst. Get ready to exploit those matchups!
Reds (@ARI-3, @SD-3): One of the primary reasons Bob Melvin was fired by the Diamondbacks is that he couldn't squeeze much life out of his offense, which not only ranked dead last in baseball in runs per game (3.7), but third-from-worst in team OPS (.677). It's going to take time for A.J. Hinch to right the ship, but in the meantime Arizona should be expected to keep up its strikeout-happy ways; this team has the second-worst team contact rate in the game (its 75.8 percent tops only Florida's 75.4). Oh, and then the Reds head west to Petco Park from there. I think we all know what to expect from a trip to that canyon-esque venue.
Royals (@OAK-2, BAL-4): Amazingly, this team got a four-inning, six-run stinker from Kyle Davies this past Tuesday and still managed to win six consecutive games with a 2.64 ERA (the Davies outing included). So if you want to claim that the Royals' staff is in decline, well, you'd be wrong. Zack Greinke is off to the most surprisingly dominant start of any starting pitcher, Brian Bannister is 3-0 with a 1.48 ERA in his first four starts of the season, and this schedule includes games against the woeful Oakland offense and a Baltimore team with a ho-hum .708 road OPS. Even with Joakim Soria sidelined, Juan Cruz is a more-than-adequate short-term fill-in, and Luke Hochevar gets a chance to strut his stuff in a two-start week after dominating in Triple-A ball.
Projected starting pitchers
The chart below lists each of the 30 MLB teams' schedules and projected starting pitchers. Those pitchers scheduled to pitch twice this week are color-coded.
Note: As of most recent update, the Angels sounded likely to activate both John Lackey and Ervin Santana to pitch Friday and Saturday, bumping both Shane Loux and Anthony Ortega from the rotation. Neither game's starter has been formally announced, however.
Rankings: Tristan's two-starts
For those owners trying to decide between two- and one-start pitchers, my recommended cut-off point (remember that this can vary from league to league) this week would most likely come around No. 14, Mike Pelfrey. I would also begin slotting in my one-start bargain picks around No. 21, Jordan Zimmermann.

| Sermon by Prophet Kobus van Renburg |
Revelation 12:7-11 (KJV) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Salvation has come. When the angels announced Jesus' birth, they said that this day a child is born and His Name shall be called Jesus for He shall save the people from their sins. Jesus started to preach and said the Kingdom of God is at hand. The disciples went on after Jesus' resurrection preaching the Kingdom of God. The power of the Christ means the power of the Anointing. Jesus declared that the Spirit of the LORD was upon Him for He has anointed Him to preach the gospel, to heal the sick and to set the captives free.
They overcame the devil by the blood of Jesus and the word of their testimony. There is more to this thing. The devil is the accuser, the serpent and the dragon. Hebrews 3 & 4 says that we must keep our confession and that is the fact that Jesus Christ is LORD.
Luke 11:18-22 (Amplified) And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom last? For you say that I expel demons with the help of and by Beelzebub. Now if I expel demons with the help of and by Beelzebub, with whose help and by whom do your sons drive them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I drive out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has [already] come upon you. When the strong man, fully armed, [from his courtyard] guards his own dwelling, his belongings are undisturbed [his property is at peace and is secure]. But whenone stronger than he attacks him and conquers him, he robs him of his whole armour on which he had relied and divides up and distributes all his goods as plunder (spoil).
The devil is cast out and the way to overcome is the blood and the Word of their testimony. Jesus said if He cast out devils, the Kingdom is here. The devil is also the strong man, but Jesus is the stronger man that overcomes him. He took his armour and disarmed him. Colossians 1:12-20 talks about the blood of the cross that redeemed us from sin and guilt. The blood of the cross brought us peace and brought us to God out of darkness into the Kingdom of His Son. Colossians 2:14 says when Jesus hung on the cross, He disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public display of them and triumphed over them in it on the cross. The cross overcame the wicked one.
Jesus was challenged on driving out devils here on the earth. It means devils are on earth. The war of Revelation 12 started at Jesus' birth and went on to the cross when he was defeated. Satan challenged Jesus all through His life on earth. Jesus was tempted on earth by devils. The Stronger One, Jesus overcame Satan and disarmed him by the blood of the cross. We are overcomers. Jesus overcame the strong man on the cross by the blood. There is an overcoming power. Romans 8:37 says we are more than conquerors or more than overcomers through Christ who loves us. He is our High Priest who sits at the right hand of the Father and plea for us. (Hebrews 3-10) He has His own blood and intercedes before the Father for the people with that blood.
John 17:6-19 (KJV) I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gave me out of the world: thy they were, and thou gave them me; and they have kept thy word. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. For I have given unto them the words which thou gave me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thy. And all mine are thy, and thy are mine; and I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thy own name those whom thou hast given me that they may be one, as we [are]. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Jesus prayed this prayer as High Priest and said that the ones God gave Him must be kept in the world. He did not talk about taking them away, but keeping them here on the earth. Jesus prayed that they may be kept from the evil one who was cast out from heaven. Jesus cast out devils on earth and He was busy overcoming the evil one. He disarmed them by the blood on the cross. Jesus now prayed for us, who were going to be on the earth as He was, to overcome the devil as He did.
John 17:20 (KJV) Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word…
If you are a believer, Jesus has prayed for you. He prayed that you must overcome the devil while you are in this world by His blood and word. In John 11 Jesus came to the tomb of Lazarus and thanked the Father that He always hears Him. Then He asked the people to roll the stone away and commanded the dead to come out.
Before Jesus prayed He said something…
John 16:33 (KJV) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Jesus' prayer was about the world and He prayed for us that we will overcome the world. He said that He overcame the devil and disarmed him through the blood of the cross.
Hebrews 10:19-21 (KJV) Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And [having] an high priest over the house of God…
Jesus is always in the presence of God to make intercession for us with His blood. Hebrews 9 says that Jesus went into the presence with His own blood and not the blood of bulls and goats once for all the saint. The way that is fresh and new is forever opened. The blood is there for the people that come. You can come anytime, knowing that there is blood in the presence of God and when He sees the blood, the destroyer will pass over.
Hebrews 10:22 (KJV) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
The blood of Jesus is fresh and new. Jesus is praying that the Father will keep them who believe. He is praying that we overcome every trial. The overcoming power is the blood of Jesus that is fresh and new in the presence of God. We have a High Priest who is interceding for us. Jesus is praying for you right now.
1 Timothy 2:6 says there is one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. Romans 8:34 says Jesus is interceding for us. Hebrews 7:25 says Jesus lives forever to intercede for us. Jesus prays for us not that we will be taken out of the world, but that we will overcome. The overcoming power is in the blood when we see that the way is open and the blood is fresh and new. We must understand the power of the crucified Christ. It is the prayer of Jesus and His blood makes you an overcomer.
Revelation 21:6,7 (KJV) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcome shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
If you can overcome, you will have all things. Romans 8:31 says God did not spare His own son, but gave Him up for us all. How much more shall He not freely give us all things? All things go directly to the blood of the cross.
1 John 4:1-7 (Amplified) BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world. By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world. Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world. They proceed from the world and are of the world; therefore it is out of the world [its whole economy morally considered] that they speak, and the world listens (pays attention) to them. We are [children] of God. Whoever is learning to know God [progressively to perceive, recognize, and understand God by observation and experience, and to get an ever-clearer knowledge of Him] listens to us; and he who is not of God does not listen or pay attention to us. By this we know (recognize) the Spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
Christ is in us. 1 Peter 1:18-22 says that we are redeemed from the world and corruption by the blood of Jesus. We are born again by the seed Word which is incorruptible. Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26& 3:5, 12, 21 talks about them who overcome. They will eat of the tree of Life, will not be touched by the second death, will eat of hidden manna, have power over nations, will be clothed with white clothes, will be a pillar in God's temple and will sit with God on His throne. To all the seven churches, Jesus said they can overcome. Revelation 21:7 it says he that overcome, shall inherit all things. You can live an overcoming life. Now if you read all the things that the seven churches had to do before they could be overcomers, you are tired before you start. Jesus said before He prayed the prayer in John 17 that He has overcame the world. Then He started to pray for those that believe that they will overcome the world. Jesus said that He overcame the stronger one by the blood. His blood is in His hands as He intercedes for us at the throne of grace in the Most Holy Place. He is our High Priest who is praying for is with His blood.
1 John 5:4,5 (Amplified) For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith. Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?
Overcoming is not fighting devils and demons, but understands the blood and belief and trust in the finished work of Jesus on the cross. By grace are we saved through faith and that is a gift of God. God gives us faith to be saved. (Romans 12:3) God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. The victory that conquers the world is our faith. The attack is in our faith life.
You come to God and believe what He tells you, but then you start to doubt. James 1 says that when you pray you must pray in faith and not doubt because a double minded man is unstable in all his ways and must not think that he will receive anything from God. Peter started to walk on the water when Jesus told him to come. He had the faith to start, but then he looked at the waves and doubt arose in his heart. Jesus told him that he had little faith. The attack Peter faced was on his faith. His faith made him walk, but the waves distracted him and he started to doubt. Distractions are an attack on your faith. James 3 says the trying of our faith works patience so that it becomes like gold that is refined in the fire.
Sometimes you go out in faith and expect something to come to you and suddenly just the opposite happens. Have your faith been tested? The overcoming power is our faith. God does not want us to be taken out of the world, but that we might be kept from the evil one on the earth. There is no such thing as being rapture to escape the problems on earth. God wants us to inherit the earth. He made us kings and priests on the earth. (Revelation 1:5, 5:9,10)
Everything that comes against your faith is a distraction. People sink while they are praying. They stress, doubt and are condemned while they pray. Hebrews 12:2 says that we must look away from distractions unto Jesus. You are running a race of faith and must not be hindered in the race. Then you will finish well. People run the race and are distracted by the mountain they are facing. They rebuke it with doubt in their hearts and the next day there is a mountain range. They rebuke the fig tree, but the next day there is a forest.
It is time to forget the distractions and start looking at Jesus. The most powerful emotion is to ignore something. When you look at Jesus, you ignore the distractions. Jesus is the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
1 Timothy 6:12 (Amplified) Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses.
Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:7, Galatians 3:11 & Hebrews 10:34 say that righteous shall live by faith. You must fight the fight of faith to keep it so that you will be able to overcome the world. You are not going to be taken out of the world, so you must overcome it. When you overcome, you are kept from the evil one and you will receive all things. 2 Timothy 4:7 says he has kept his faith. In Luke 22:32 Jesus told Peter that Satan desired to sift him, but He prayed for him, that his faith failed not. It is our faith that overcomes the world. Hebrews 11:6 says without faith it is impossible to please God. He that goes to God must believe that He is and a rewarder of them who seeks Him. God wants to give us all things and all He asks of us is to keep our eyes on Him and away from the distractions. He wants us to trust Him, knowing that He is praying for us with His blood in the presence of the Father.
Romans 8:26-28 (Amplified) So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance. And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will.We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labour] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper. When we are filled with the Spirit, we speak in other tongues. When you pray in other tongues, you pray in the Spirit. (1 Corinthians 14:14) Jesus is praying at the right hand of the Father, while the Spirit of God is in us here on earth, helping us to pray. He prays through us the things that we do not rightly know how to pray for. Our faith might be under attack and that is the times when we pray for something, but because we do not know how to pray rightly, the Holy Spirit comes to our aid and helps us. Then all things work together for those who loves God and are called according to His purpose. Jesus said that He knows that the Father always hears Him and answers His prayers. You've got to trust the Holy Spirit and Jesus to pray for you and you will be an overcomer. Then you know that your prayers get answered.

South West Trains boss says railways are a success - but admits trouble with overcrowding
The boss of South West Trains says rail privatisation has been a success but admits some trains are too overcrowded.
Tim Shoveller, the company's Managing Director, hit back at critics who say handing over the rails to the private sector - 20 years ago - was a disaster.
Mr Shoveller started his career as a guard at Guildford 25 years ago.
He says passenger numbers have doubled to over 600,000 a day and SWT is now by far the busiest commuter railway in Europe. He says there has been record investment.
But he admits trains are overcrowded at busy times and measures are needed to urgently reduce the problem. He spoke exclusively to our Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse
Rail union campaigns to retain ticket offices
The rail union RMT says it will fight any plans to close ticket offices across routes served by Thameslink, Southern and Gatwick Express. There will be a formal public consultation, but the union believes there will be efforts to 'bulldoze' the proposals through.
RMT is launching a campaign of opposition to these plans and we will be working with the travelling public to stop them in their tracks. These plans, driven by the desire to de-staff our railways in the quest for profit, would unleash a wave of ticket office carnage across rail franchises.

Train delays in South East caused by sunshine
@tlc1972 We have delays though Lewisham due to drivers not being able to see the dispatch screens due to the sunshine. ^MS
@reyhan Hi, sorry for the delay, we have issues with distracting trains at Lewisham due to sunlight hitting the dispatch monitors. ^MS
@julieeclarke The low winter sun has been hitting the dispatch monitor which prevents the driver from being able to see. ^MS
Staff at Lewisham have no idea what they are doing - guard on platform 1 is having a meltdown @se_railway
Small increase in rail fares from Monday
Rail fares go upon on Monday by just over 1%. It's the lowest increase for six years, with the price pegged to low inflation levels. But passenger groups have warned that more work is needed to achieve a 'truly affordable railway', with ticket prices 25% higher than in 2010.
Rail disruption continues for thousands of passengers
Hundreds of thousands of rail passengers are facing severe disruption to services as the big shutdown of the region's railway continues: fewer trains, longer journeys and buses replacing rail. Key lines hit are to Gatwick and Brighton to London, services to London Bridge and the lines to Paddington from the Thames Valley. Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse reports.
Southeastern services will shut down early on Christmas Eve
Southeastern is reminding passengers that all services will shut down early for Christmas Eve.
Train passengers heading back to their families should check journey times, as services shut down slightly earlier than normal.
Early peak time services will move to between 1 and 4pm.
After this there will be a limited service with the last train leaving Charing Cross at 7.45pm (to Hastings) and 7.50 from London Cannon Street (to Orpington).
The last high speed service will depart at 21:12(Margate) and the last Victoria service will depart at 20:55 (Orpington).
Major disruption for rail passengers over Christmas
Hundreds of thousands of rail passengers in the South East are preparing to face 10 days of major disruption over the festive break because of engineering works.
The lines from Brighton and Kent to London will be the worst hit.
From late on Christmas Eve until the New Year the region's key lines to the capital will be closed when 20,000 engineers work to upgrade track and signals.
The biggest disruption will be on the line to London Bridge.
Our Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse has been to the station to see what work will be done and how the £6.5 billion upgrade of the station is progressing.
Railway elves hand out mince pies to passengers
Passengers on the Chiltern line in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire have been getting into the festive spirit with thousands of mince pies being handed out by staff dressed as elves.
The company say it's to wish passengers a merry Christmas and bring a bit of festive cheer.
The company is the only one in the region to run services on Boxing Day and is not affected by engineering works that will hit Great Western, Southern and South West Trains.

by Jillian C. York
Recent cyberattacks by WikiLeaks supporters targeted at companies like Visa and Mastercard have brought distributed denial of service (DDoS) - an attack in which multiple systems flood the bandwidth or resources of a targeted system in an attempt to make it unavailable - into the public consciousness, stirring up a debate as to whether or not DDoS is an acceptable tactic for civil disobedience.
In fact, denial of service (DoS) attacks emerged as a political tool in 1998, introduced by Ricardo Dominguez, co-founder of Electronic Disturbance Theatre, who built FloodNet, a tool that allowed activists to crash a variety of websites.
DDoS emerged two years later when web giants Yahoo!, Buy.com, CNN, Amazon, and others were taken down in a series of attacks so large, they had to have had multiple points of origin. Those attacks were eventually traced to Michael Calce, a 15-year-old in Montreal, Canada, who was caught after bragging about his prowess in a chat room.
Unfortunately, DDoS has become a fairly common form of attack against human rights and independent media sites, and one which shows no signs of slowing.A recent report from the Berkman Center for Internet & Society reveals that the technique has been applied to a wide range of targets worldwide, and appears to have no strong ties to any particular set of political principles.
Diverse targets
The Berkman Center's study comprised of a survey of independent media and human rights-related sites, as well as a review of media reports of DDoS and other cyberattacks over the past twelve years.
In 2010 alone, over one hundred DDoS attacks made headlines, with targets as diverse as an Israeli human rights group to an independent news site in Malawi.
In a DDoS attack, a network of computers are utilized to flood traffic on a target system, causing the site to load slowly or become disabled entirely. Often, a botnet - a network of compromised computers that can be controlled remotely - is utilised to maximize effectiveness of the attack.
Though DDoS is often propagated along with other forms of attack, it can be debilitating for small site operators. Attacks often don't require much bandwidth to adversely affect sites; rather, there is evidence that very small attacks focused on vulnerabilities in technical architectures can render some sites inoperative.
In some cases, even a single attacker can be effective in disabling a site, without the assistance of botnets or other volunteers.
No 'silver bullet'
As a result of DDoS, the Berkman Center's researchers found, some organizations may find their sites inaccessible for long periods of time, a function of inexperienced and overwhelmed system administrators, unhelpful Internet service providers (ISPs), and isolation from the technical community that works together to fend off DDoS.
Though the researchers offer recommendations for a variety of technical steps that independent media and human rights site administrators can take to reduce the impact of DDoS, there are unfortunately no silver bullets for the community.
Rather, a broad look at the hosting landscape, as well as ways in which outlying sites can be integrated into the technical community, are recommended.

Fed May Extend Operation Twist, Grow Balance Sheet, Goldman Says
The Federal Reserve is expected to start a new asset purchase program at a meeting this week, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chief economist Jan Hatzius said.
The Fed may expand its balance sheet, extend its so-called Operation Twist and/or lengthen its short-term interest rate guidance beyond late 2014, Hatzius said in an e-mailed report to clients today.
"A decision not to ease is tantamount to a tightening," he said. "At this point we'd be quite surprised if we saw no easing.''
The Fed committee is expected to lower its forecast for real economic growth and raise its forecast for the unemployment rate "significantly," Hatzius said.
