Dal Top End fino al Red Centre, il Northern Territory racconta una storia unica di arte antica e cultura, eroismo di guerra e pionieristica avventura.
Colonial heritage is remembered in a diverse array of museums and restored sites. Guided tours and audio guides offer rare insights into the early days of the settlers in the Northern Territory.
Discover achievements in modern engineering like the Alice Springs Telegraph Station and the Old Ghan Railway, or learn about the pioneering aviators at the Central Australian Aviation Museum.
Visit a catholic mission in the Tiwi Islands, established in the early 1900s, or walk through one of the Territory's most important heritage sites, Fannie Bay Gaol in Darwin, and stand in the original stone cells built in 1883.
For military heritage, Darwin is unparalleled. As Australia's only location of major battles during World War II, the city is home to many significant sites. Wander through strategic underground oil tunnels built in the 1940s, or join an informative tour of the RAAF explosives store and Strauss airfield.
A centerpiece for World War II history is the newly built Defence of Darwin Experience, a state of the art museum featuring interactive multimedia exhibits that will immerse you in wartime Australia.
Walk in the footsteps of the famous explorer John McDouall Stuart, and explore Old Owen Springs Station and Tennant Creek. Travel further south to the Red Centre to find a unique collection of photographs and memorabilia at the National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame.
Wherever you go in the Territory there's a fascinating social history to explore. Convicts of colonial Australia, soldiers of World War II, and the early pioneers of aviation and transport are just some of the people and stories that populate the unique towns and landscapes of the Northern Territory.
One of the most vivid images of the Territory in wartime remains the roadside airstrips. Flat tracks carved out of the tropical bush; home to the courageous pilots and aircrews who fought the Air War over Northern Australia and the enemy to...
Fenton Airfield, 200km south of Darwin, was a piece of America planted in the vast Northern Territory Outback. During 1943 and 1944 Fenton was the major offensive base for long range bombing operations against Japanese forces.
As the Stuart Highway pushes toward Darwin the now quiet townships of Adelaide River and Batchelor still show signs of the intense wartime activity in the region. Adelaide River became a major Australian and American centre of operations, c...

I'm pretty sure he is using 2 6s in parallel. Take a look at this moment (7:55). He has written 5000mAh 22.2V 25C on the battery.This ESC is a great price and should not overheat, because it is 100A, but I don't want to be surprised with no breaks. I'll try to find a different one. Thanks.
Hi, I'm a little confused with the battery that I want to choose. I have been inspired with GreatScott! on YouTube and then I've came across your website. He is using a 6S1P 5000mAh LiPos and you're using 3S1P 5000mAh LiPos. My intuition tells me that the higher voltage should give higher speeds, but apparently both of you get around 30km/h. So what's up with this? 3S Lipos are cheaper, but I don't want my board to be under powered. Also, I'm impressed that you managed to connect your board to a smartphone, but I don't think it is a good idea. In case of a crash I would lose my ego as well as my smartphone :PP.S. Is this ESC any good? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__28709__Turnigy_dlux_100A_SBEC_Brushless_Speed_Controller_w_Data_Logging_UK_Warehouse_.htmlView Instructable »

As far as I'm concerned, if this lacks 32GB of internal memory, or at least an option for it, and HDMI, it's nothing more than a mid-range device that wishes it were high end.

Nernst Equation
The Nernst Equation enables the determination of cell potential under non-standard conditions. It relates the measured cell potential to the reaction quotient and allows the accurate determination of equilibrium constants (including solubility constants).
The Nernst Equation is derived from the Gibbs free energy under standard conditions.
\[E^o = E^o_{reduction} - E^o_{oxidation} \tag{1}\]
\(\Delta{G}\) is also related to \(E\) under general conditions (standard or not) via
\[\Delta{G} = -nFE \tag{2}\]
- \(n\) is the number of electrons transferred in the reaction (from balanced reaction),
- \(F\) is the Faraday constant (96,500 C/mol), and
- \(E\) is potential difference.
Under standard conditions, equation 2 is then
\[\Delta{G}^{o} = -nFE^{o}. \tag{3}\]
Hence, when \(E^o\) is positive, the reaction is spontaneous and when \(E^o\) is negative, the reaction is non-spontaneous. From thermodynamics, the Gibbs energy change under non-standard conditions can be related to the Gibbs energy change under standard equations via
\[\Delta{G} = \Delta{G}^o + RT \ln Q \tag{4}\]
Substituting \(\Delta{G} = -nFE\) and \(\Delta{G}^{o} = -nFE^{o}\) into equation 4, we have:
\[-nFE = -nFE^o + RT \ln Q \tag{5}\]
Divide both sides of the equation above by \(-nF\), we have
\[E = E^o - \dfrac{RT}{nF} \ln Q \tag{6}\]
Equation 6 can be rewritten in the form of \(\log_{10}\):
\[E = E^o - \dfrac{2.303 RT}{nF} \log Q \tag{Generalized Nernst Equation}\]
At standard temperature T = 298 K, the \(\frac{2.303 RT}{F}\) term equals 0.0592 V and this equation turns into:
\[E = E^o - \dfrac{0.0592\, V}{n} \log Q \tag{Nernst Equation @ 298 K}\]
The equation above indicates that the electrical potential of a cell depends upon the reaction quotient \(Q\) of the reaction. As the redox reaction proceeds, reactants are consumed, and thus concentration of reactants decreases. Conversely, the products concentration increases due to the increased in products formation. As this happens, cell potential gradually decreases until the reaction is at equilibrium, at which \(\Delta{G} = 0\). At equilibrium, the reaction quotient \(Q = K_{eq}\). Also, at equilibrium, \(\Delta{G} = 0\) and \(\Delta{G} = -nFE\), so \(E = 0\).
Therefore, substituting \(Q = K_{eq}\) and \(E = 0\) into the Nernst equation, we have:
\[0 = E^o - \dfrac{RT}{nF} \ln K_{eq} \tag{7}\]
At room temperature, the equation above simplifies into (notice natural log was converted to log base 10):
\[0 = E^o - \dfrac{0.0592\, V}{n} \log K_{eq} \tag{8}\]
This equation can be rearranged into:
\[\log K_{eq} = \dfrac{nE^o}{0.0592\, V} \tag{9}\]
The equation above indicates that the equilibrium constant \(K_{eq}\) is proportional to the standard potential of the reaction. Specifically, when:
- \(K > 1, E^o > 0\), reaction favors products formation.
- \(K < 1, E^o < 0\), reaction favors reactants formation.
This result fits Le Châtlier's Principle, which states that when a system at equilibrium experiences a change, the system will minimize that change by shifting the equilibrium in the opposite direction.
Example 1
The \(E^{o}_{cell} = +1.10 \; V\) for the Zn-Cu redox reaction:
\[Zn_{(s)} + Cu^{2+}_{(aq)} \rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}_{(aq)} + Cu_{(s)}.\]
What is the equilibrium constant for this reversible reaction?SOLUTION
Under standard conditions, \([Cu^{2+}] = [Zn^{2+}] = 1.0\, M\) and T = 298 K. As the reaction proceeds, \([Cu^{2+}]\) decreases as \([Zn^{2+}]\) increases. Lets say after one minute, \([Cu^{2+}] = 0.05\, M\) while \([Zn^{2+}] = 1.95\, M\). According to the Nernst equation, the cell potential after 1 minute is:
\[E = E^o - \dfrac{0.0592 V}{n} \log Q\]
\[E = 1.10V - \dfrac{0.0592 V}{2} \log\dfrac{1.95 \; M}{0.05 \; M}\]
As you can see, the initial cell potential is \(E = 1.10\, V\), after 1 minute, the potential drops to 1.05 V. This is after 95% of the reactants have been consumed. As the reaction continues to progress, more \(Cu^{2+}\) will be consumed and more \(Zn^{2+}\) will be generated (at a 1:1 ratio). As a result, the cell potential continues to decrease and when the cell potential drops down to 0, the concentration of reactants and products stops changing.
This is when the reaction is at equilibrium. From from equation 9, the \(K_{eq}\) can be calculated from
\[\log K_{eq} = \dfrac{2 \times 1.10\, V}{0.0592\,V}\]
\[\log K_{eq} = 37.2\]
\[K_{eq} = 10^{37.2}= 1.58 \times 10^{37}\]
This make sense from a Le Châtlier's Principle, since the reaction strongly favors the products over the reactants to result in a large \(E^{o}_{cell}\) of 1.103 V. Hence, the cell is greatly out of equilibrium under standard conditions. Reactions that are just weakly out of equilibrium will have smaller \(E^{o}_{cell}\) values (neglecting a change in \(n\) of course).

There the similarities end, though. The financial side of the Premier League is - as he admits - simple enough: being little more than handling the big cheques that come in from the leading football clubs once a year. And while he claims to have had "three very enjoyable years" as an auditor it is perhaps significant that he describes the job he has had since 1992 as "enormously exciting and there's no routine to it".
He has just signed up for another three years in the post, but says he has no thoughts about what is next. "My career has taken so many twists and turns that you can never rule anything out."
Nevertheless, it would be unlikely if sport was not involved. The son of a PE lecturer, he arrived in accountancy with a maths degree from Liverpool University and a hankering to work in the field; his father had told him to get a professional qualification first. Then it was off for a few years in the leisure industry, latterly as financial controller at Hoseasons Holidays, before rejoining Arthur Young as a consultant specialising in the sport and leisure sector.
He has twice been involved in Manchester's bids for the Olympic Games and - in keeping with the head of an increasingly commercial organisation - keeps an eye on developments in other sports, notably the two rugby codes. But for now he is like the other fans - it is an open secret that he has supported Liverpool since the cradle - waiting anxiously for the start of the new League season on 19 August.

Release Date: 1996 |
Album Rating: 1.5Okay, I've put more work into this review and instead of a track-by-track, it's more general. Hope it doesn't sound whiny.
i despise prince
im glad you ripped him and this album a good one
attn mcp3000
prince is awesome
Album Rating: 1.5Yeah, he is, but he's had his moments of pure shit. Such as this album.
Damn, I just noticed I made a mistake.
Album Rating: 1.5Alright, fixed.
This cat hasn't done anything good in years. Hell, maybe ever.
Planet Earth was decent, 3121 was pretty good. Purple Rain and Sign 'O' The Times are fucking amazing.
Verdict on LostViking = SUPREME FAIL.
Purple Rain and Sign O The Times are two absolutely exceptional albums, two of my very favourite I must say.
I think anything he made in the 90's is very weak in comparison - his last relatively great album was Lovesexy in my eyes. The Batman soundtrack embarked how irrelevant he was about to become.
Album Rating: 1.5I like a few songs off the Batman soundtrack, two-three songs from Graffiti Bridge, two-three from Diamonds, three-four from Love Symbol, most on The Gold Experience and two or three off Chaos.
So basically that sums it up.
Lovesexy I think is weaker than the Black Album, but "Alphabet St." is some seriously good, hard funk.
Album Rating: 1.5Oh. Forgot. Musicology was good, 3121 owned, Planet Earth is an epic fail.
Eh, my thoughts.
Prince albums from 79-88 are all excellent.
Batman and Graffiti Bridge are crap
Diamonds And Pearls and Love Symbol are patchy.
The Gold Experience is decent. The rest of his 90's stuff is garbage especially Emancipation.
Theres a couple good songs on Chaos And Disorder, New Power Soul, and Rave.
The Truth, One Night Alone, The Rainbow Children, and NEWS are excellent.
Musicology and 3121 are good.
Planet Earth is kinda bland but ok
Album Rating: 2.5And I thought only like two or three people on here liked Prince. Thank God Im not alone.
And for the record, Emancipation unfortunatly sucks ass.
(how could you ever dispise prince?)
Album Rating: 1.0i bought this album in HMV for £3. it was that bad that selling at for £1 to one of my mates seemed like a sir alan sugar move. honestly appalling album.
Album Rating: 3.0Slightly harsh review I thought. Certainly not his best album but not awful by any means. Saviour is an excellent track. Also Crystal Ball which you have slated, I could listen to all day long
Album Rating: 4.5I was very surprised to read this harsh review. When I bought this album I listened to it a lot and thought there were many excellent songs. I still feel the same about it and still enjoy it today. The Holy River, Curious Child, Soul Sanctuary, Courtin' Time are just a few of my favorites. Quite unlike this review it has an aggregate 4.5 star rating on Amazon with 68% 5 stars and 15% 4 stars so, as always, to each his own.

Duffy's Lawyer Calls Senate Payment Order 'Petty'
OTTAWA — Mike Duffy is being asked to repay $16,955 in what a Senate committee considers ineligible expenses, despite the controversial senator having been acquitted earlier this year of a raft of charges related to his spending claims.
In a June 8 letter, the clerk of the Senate's internal economy committee says "new information had surfaced in the public domain'' which warranted an assessment of the eligibility of some expenses.
The letter cites seven specific expenses, ranging from $10,000 for a personal trainer to $8 for personal photos — both of which came up during Duffy's high-profile trial.
The letter gives Duffy 10 days to "provide observations or information that could establish the eligibility of the expenses.''
'A further compounding of injustice'
Duffy's lawyer Donald Bayne says his client has been "fully exonerated'' on the seven expenses in question, calling the Senate's persistence "a further compounding of injustice upon injustice, and should be stopped.''
Bayne wrote that the investigation cost Duffy a net loss of $155,867 and that seeking $8 for personal photos now is "unseemly in the extreme'' and "smacks of petty vindictiveness.''
A letter from Duffy's office accuses the committee of refusing to accept the court's judgment and describes the Senate's actions as a "collateral attack'' on Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt.
Duffy pleaded not guilty to 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery and was cleared of all charges in April, with the Crown later saying it would not appeal the verdict.

In the fourth inning Thursday night, Ian Desmond bent at the waist and placed his hands on his knees, staring across the diamond, out of answers. He had just fired a throw 10 feet short of first base, and the ball deflected off Adam LaRoche's glove. Desmond had committed his second error of the night, sparking a Cardinals' rally for the second time in a horrific loss.
Desmond, a Gold Glove finalist the past two years, leads the majors with seven errors in 17 games. Typically a stabilizing factor in the middle of the diamond, Desmond has been the catalyst of the Nationals' defense, which has committed an MLB-worst 20 errors. He accepted responsibility and admitted he set the tone when he booted the first grounder of the night.
"Last year, I was in the same exact position," Desmond said. "I don't know how or why I get here, but, look, I believe in myself. I believe I can be the best defensive shortstop in the game. Right now, I'm not playing like that one bit. I'd be the first to tell you that.
"But I owe it to Taylor Jordan – come out here, first ball of the game, boot it. He should be over there talking about how good he pitched and beating the Cardinals on national television, not what happened. That's a shame. But you know what, the errors in the past have made me who I am today. These are going to make me a better man, too. Just got to keep fighting through it."
Desmond has bounced back from vicious defensive slumps before. He reduced his error total from 34 as a rookie to 23 in 2011 and 15 in 2012. Last year, Desmond led the majors after he made his seventh error in the Nationals' 18th game. After that season-starting spate, Desmond went 59 games before he committed his next error, and he finished the season with only 20 total in 158 games.
"If I ever want to be the captain of this team – and I do – I have to be better than that," Desmond said. "I've been in some dark places defensively, and this is right there with them. Just got to work through it, just like I have in the past, and go out and play."
"You've got to keep on playing," Desmond said. "As bad as I want to run and hide – whatever, not necessarily run and hide – but you've got to sit here and answer the questions and you've got to be a man about it. This is something I've done to myself. I can't blame anybody else or anything. I've been here before. I've proved to people I can play and I've proved to myself I can play. I'm going to do it again."
Desmond has not felt quite right about his fielding since spring training. He took extra grounders frequently in the spring to find proper timing in his footwork. But he has still fielded tentatively, as if he's searching. Thursday night, the first hitter of the game, Matt Carpenter, rolled a slow chopper to Desmond. He played himself into awkward hop and his wrists stiffened. The ball thudded off his mitt.
"If I had the answer, I'd give it to you," Desmond said. "I'm going to keep on grinding. I was out there hoping that they would keep on hitting me groundballs. That's all you can do, just go out and keep on playing. As long as my name's in the lineup, I'm going to go out there and play as hard as I can. It's not a lack of effort. It's just, I've got to execute. And I will."
As a team beyond Desmond, the Nationals have much to fix. Even if Desmond had made zero this year, the Nationals would still be tied for eighth-most in the majors.
Upon his arrival, and almost daily since, Manager Matt Williams has demanded the Nationals play strong defense. They have so far been perhaps the league's worst-fielding team. Williams saw no lack of effort, concentration or preparation as the culprit. He reverted to his precise regimen as the antidote.
"We keep going out there tomorrow," Williams said. "We'll certainly take full BP and full grounders. It's scheduled extra work for the pitchers tomorrow. It's part of the schedule. It's how we do it all the time. What to make of it, I don't know."
"Some of it gets magnified, you kick a couple of balls," LaRoche said. "Maybe we're pressing a little. It's the same way at the plate. Like tonight, nothing going on, guys trying a little too hard to expand the zone and you end up looking worse. It could be the same way defensively. We have a really good defensive club, is the thing. It's not showing right now, but I have a feeling that by the end of the year those numbers are going to be our specialty. We are just too good defensively to make the kind of errors we are."

Isabelle: news.
I walked into the dining hall, retaining all dignity that I feared I may have lost due to my meeting with Sir Serene. I must say it was a novel experience, and I am sorely glad that Lorette found us. She would not suspect anything to have happened. She would not have told the other maids with giggles at the prospect of such frivolity. Lorette is after all my closest confidante. Even Olivia keeps some secrets from me; I daresay the fact that we are siblings and deep in our brains we harbour the irrestible urge to tease plays a part. Lorette looks to me for guidance, which I find amusing. I know nothing of love, only what people have told me and what I have read and what I assume. Lorette is lucky to know love as she herself has James. I intend to house both of them in the palace when I take the throne, for I only wish the upmost comfort for my most dear friend. Smiling at the prospect of such a happy couple I seated myself next to Father, who cleared his throat. Everybody turned.
'My dear fellows, our men have been watching your actions and have decided that the quest shall begin tomorrow! We shall send seven good men out, as the traditions state that this number shall ensure success. However, I have consulted my advisors and it is allowed that my daughter Olivia shall accompany these men due to her skill.' I smiled across to Olivia, who was hugging Lillie in anticipation. 'The men embarking shall be the following: Prince Kaedin, Prince Allan, Koroth of the Night, Sir Serene Paroles. I shall also send three servants, including my head of stables and a good track finder, James.' I felt my stomach tighten for Lorette. She would be sick with worry: James intended to ask for her hand in marriage this next moon. This quest, so Father had implied, was of the highest difficulty.
Father continued to speak about the plans for the morrow, but suddenly my well-trained brain hatched a plan. Perhaps...James would surely not want to partake in such an event. Lorette would prefer him safe and sound. I dearly wished to go on this quest...I was well versed in tracking. I had a particular love of horses. And this could determine which man was not just strong, but owned compassion and could care for a stablehand..
This decided it. I must embark on the quest!

This Memorial Day, remember to buckle up in the back
With Memorial Day weekend finally here, summer is right around the corner. With so many folks hitting the road this holiday weekend, Uber is excited to partner with the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) as part of the national Memorial Day 'Click It or Ticket' campaign to raise awareness of the importance of wearing your seatbelt while sitting in the back seat.
According to the GHSA 2015 report, Unbuckled in Back: An Overlooked Issue in Highway Safety, 87 percent of drivers and front seat passengers wore their seat belts in 2014 — but unfortunately belt use in the back seat was only 73 percent for passengers age eight and older. That same year, more than 800 back seat passengers were killed — unbuckled — in car accidents. Tragically, nearly half of them could have survived if they had only worn their seat belt.
That's why we are doing our part to raise awareness among the Uber community Memorial Day holiday with Uber driver-partners and riders. Throughout the Memorial Day weekend, riders may see messages in the app reminding them to wear their seat belt.
We wish everyone an enjoyable and safe Memorial Day weekend. And don't forget to buckle up in the back!

- "...Wilkes - killed by Aurors a year before Voldemort's downfall..."
- —Sirius Black on Wilkes.[src]
Wilkes was a wizard and a Slytherin student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After graduating from Hogwarts, he became a Death Eater of Lord Voldemort. He fought in several battles during the First Wizarding War. During the end of the war, he was pursued by Aurors and was killed while trying to avoid imprisonment in Azkaban.
Wilkes attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1970s and was sorted into Slytherin house. According to Sirius Black, he was member of a gang of Slytherins and aspiring Death Eaters which included Severus Snape, Avery, Mulciber and Evan Rosier. They all entered the service of Lord Voldemort during the height of the First Wizarding War. Wilkes fought in several battles of the war. In 1980, a year before Lord Voldemort's downfall, Wilkes was caught by Aurors and was killed, while attempting to avoid being imprisoned in Azkaban.
Magical abilities and skills
- Martial magic (possibly): Wilkes was killed by Aurors, which means he fought in order to avoid imprisonment.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Mentioned only)
Notes and references
- ↑ a Death Eater with the trace on him would be a liability, implying that Wilkes was at least 17 in 1980 when he died.

Police today released CCTV images showing two men - one armed with a handgun - donning bandanas and gloves as they apparently prepared to carry out an attempted robbery in Westminster.
The men are seen pulling hoods over their heads and tying bandanas around their faces just moments before the incident in Shepherd Market.
Both men appear oblivious of the camera which clearly captures their faces in the brightly lit alley next to the Ye Grapes public house.
They are seen casually chatting to each other as they apparently prepare for the robbery.
One man is seen to put on latex gloves, a bandana and a hood before he takes a small black handgun from his waistband before holding it behind his back.
Police say that the two men then approached a 37-year-old man who was parking his car near-by and one said : "What have you got for me?"
Officers believe the man may have been targeted because of his car, a Bentley Continental, which he was parking at the time.
The 37-year-old man ran off and alerted police. Police said no shots were fired and the man was not injured in the incident at around 2am on Sunday October 19.
The first suspect is described as white, about 18-21 years old, the second is the same age and described as a light skinned black man.
Detective Sergeant Gemma Alger, of Westminster Police, said : "We need to identify these men urgently to prevent any further attacks on members of the public."
She added that there had been no other reports on similar incidents in the area but the men appeared to have prepared for a crime.
Both men ran back the same way after the incident.
DS Alger added: "This is quite a secluded area but they seemed to know their way around. I have worked in Westminster for eight years and this is the first type of robbery like this involving a handgun."
Anyone who can identify the men should call police on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Norton Rose has secured an instruction from Kerzner International on the redevelopment of the Millennium Dome, despite previously facing a £1m lawsuit for its advice regarding the original development.
Corporate partner Chris Pearson and real estate partner David Sinclair are leading the Norton Rose team advising Kerzner on its proposals to develop and operate a £168m casino and hotel resort at London's Millennium Dome.
Norton Rose had previously lost out on advising on the sale of the Millennium Dome after the New Millennium Experience Company (NMEC) instigated a lawsuit against the firm for £1.29m in damages in late 2001 on the grounds that the firm gave bad advice.
The lawsuit related to advice from the firm that was claimed to have led to a separate damages claim brought by sacked roofing contractor Koch Hightex against NMEC when its contract to
supply a PVC roof membrane was terminated in 1997.
However, Kerzner, a new entrant in the Millennium Dome saga, has now retained Norton Rose to assist with ensuring its development meets the 'resort', or 'regional casino', criteria defined by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport in the draft Gambling Bill.
The casino and hotel resort development comprises part of the regeneration of the Greenwich Peninsula, and will be included within Anschutz Entertainment Group's plans to develop a 20,000-seat entertainment and sports arena within the Dome.
Norton Rose has also advised Kerzner on its recent binding agreement with Anschutz Entertainment Group for the development.
Herbert Smith real estate partner Richard Forsdyke and US firm Holme Roberts & Owen partners Kevin Conwick and Martha Collins Rolle are the principal advisers for Anschutz.

Gold Foil Wall Art using Laminator
12 comments:
A beautiful relaxing week to you!ReplyDelete
I love this idea! And it's nice that you can do this at home without buying one of those pricey gold foil machines. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
How neat!! Looks easy to do and really makes a difference - I love it!! #HomeMattersPartyReplyDelete
A laminator would be a dangerous thing for me to own. I would find a million things to use it on... and experimenting with the gold foil would be on that list. #HomeMattersPartyReplyDelete
Now there is a toy I don't have! You are giving me ideas! LOL I am co-hosting with you this month the #HomeMattersParty, please visit me too.ReplyDelete
I've wanted a laminator for some time now...this gives me another good reason to just go and get one already! Great project. I love how that gold just pops. Great choice!ReplyDelete
This is adorable! Great to be co-hosting the #HomeMattersParty with you!ReplyDelete
That is so cute! I love it! So happy to be co-hosting #HomeMattersParty this month with you!ReplyDelete
Love this idea, I have a laminator and I never really know what to do with it, I've gotta try to gold foil idea! Thanks! It's been great co-hosting with you at the #HomeMattersPartyReplyDelete
I had my first experience with foil prints this past weekend. It was a craft I did with my daughter and we both really enjoyed ourselves! Your artwork turned out great. Really enjoy cohosting with you on #HomeMattersParty!ReplyDelete
I purchased some of the foil and can't wait to use it but I need to get a laminator or I guess I could use my iron. I just love the amazing results this foil brings to a project. Thanks for the tutorial!ReplyDelete
Looks like a fun project.ReplyDelete

Gospel as the "word of truth" (Col. 1:5) Prays that the Colossians "may be filled with the knowledge of God's will in all spiritual wisdom, and understanding" (Col. 1:9) Prays that the Colossians will "grow in the knowledge of God" (Col. 1:10) Serves the Colossians "to make the word of God fully known" (Col. 1:25) Teaches "everyone in all wisdom" (Col. 1:28) The Word of Truth More truth claims made by Paul Desires the Colossians "have all the riches of assured understanding and have the knowledge of God's mystery, …,Christ" (Col. 2:2-3) Concerned that the Colossians be "taken captive through philosophy and empty deceit" (Col. 2:8) Admonishes the Colossians to stay focused on the crucified, resurrected, ascended, "coming-again" Christ (Col. 3:1-4) Speaks of the Colossians' "new self" as "being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator" (Col. 3:9-10) Colossians & Worldviews Aspects of worldviews Specific way to think about life that is identified as reality Tend to forget they are a viewpoint Walter Wilson's definition "A person's comprehensive and pre-reflective understanding of reality, an integrating framework of fundamental considerations which gives context, direction, and meaning to life in light of one's ultimate commitments." (as quoted on p. 100) Colossians & Worldviews in Postmodern Era Colossians is a worldview Post-modernism seeks to deconstruct worldviews Texts presenting a worldview are read with a "hermeneutic of suspicion" "Question authority" Post-moderns see truth in terms of regimes Regimes of Truth "Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint. And it induces regular effects of power. Each society has its regime of truth, its 'general politics' of truth: that is, the types of discourse which it accepts and makes function as true; the mechanism and instances which enable one to distinguish true and false statements; the means by which each is sanctioned; the techniques and procedures accorded value in the acquisition of truth; the status of those who are charged with saying what counts as true." (Michel Foucault as quoted on p. 102) Is Colossians 2:8-23 a Regime of Truth? Like regimes of truth Paul uses his letter to exert constraint on the Colossians confronting a different philosophy Paul invokes the authority of Christ in a manner similar to Foucault's "mechanisms" Paul speaks with apostolic authority, a specific type of discourse accepted as valid Reading this text with a "hermeneutic of suspicion" Raises the lost voice of Paul's opponents Questions the validity of Paul's claims Ultimately does to Paul's voice what it claims Paul does to his opponents "What's Sauce for the Goose…" What if we subject the opposing philosophy to the same type of scrutiny? Have to use the Colossians text since we don't have a letter from this opposing philosophy Are Paul's opponents a regime of truth? Exert a type of captivity based on deceit and oppression Hide a merely human tradition behind this façade of deceit Exerts its power of constraint with a multiplicity of rules Uses its power for exclusion Employs the "mechanisms" of asceticism, fasting, & visions Regimes of Truth & the Kingdom of God Looks like Paul is unmasking a "regime of truth" Is this just a battle between 2 "regimes of truth"? "Is the biblical metanarrative, together with its large-scale truth claims about the whole cosmos, inherently totalizing, violent and oppressive, or are there counterideological, antitotalizing dimensions of this grand story that militate against, delegitimate and subvert any ideological, violent, totalizing uses of this narrative?" (p. 106) The Kingdom of the Beloved Son "Antitotalizing" dimensions of the biblical metanarrative "A radical sensitivity to suffering" (p. 107) Begins with the covenant established with Noah in Genesis 6- 9 God identifies with suffering of the slaves in Egypt (Ex. 3:7-8) Continues in the liturgy of the psalms of lament (Ps. 44) Reaches its apex on the cross of Christ On Suffering "By deciding to endure a wicked world, while continuing to open up the heart to that world…God has decided to take personal suffering upon God's own self." (Terence Fretheim as quoted on p. 107) "Biblical texts in this trajectory critique the unjust status quo that legitimates itself on the basis of a false presence (notably that of the temple and monarchy) in the name of a God of justice and liberation….A story that has God intimately involved with suffering and that sees violence to be the root of the human predicament should engender a worldview that eschews all violence, including violence to those who radically disagree with us." (p. 108) The Kingdom of the Beloved Son Israel as a "light to the nations"(Is. 49:6), "a priestly kingdom and a holy nation" (Ex. 19:6) Purpose to bring about the restoration of all peoples To restore all of creation, a party to the covenant with Noah The emphasis on total restoration actually undercuts reading the biblical narrative as a violent regime of truth "First, …a story rooted in and radically attentive to suffering is a story of liberation from violently imposed regimes of truth, not a story that legitimates newly imposed slavery. Second, a story with the redemption of all of creation as its focus subverts any partisan, selfjustifying co-option of its message." (p. 109) Colossians & the Biblical Metanarrative Language of Colossians 1:12-14 Recalls the story of the exodus Slaves are released from captivity Slaves are given an inheritance God responds to Israel with forgiving love, even when they turn against him (Ex. 32:7-34:10) Jesus re-enacts the story of the exodus We move from slavery to freedom We are rescued "from the power of darkness and transferred …into the kingdom of his beloved Son" (Col. 1:13) Colossians & Regimes of Truth "In profound contrast to regimes of truth with their multiple forms of constraint, the kingdom of the beloved Son is a kingdom won not through violence imposed on others but through violence imposed upon the Son." (p 110) Cross of Christ takes central place "The cross was 'the victory of weakness over strength, the victory of love over hatred. It was the victory that consisted in Jesus' allowing evil to do its worst to him, and never attempting to fight it on its own terms. When the power of evil had made its last possible move, Jesus had still not been beaten by it. He bore the weight of the world's evil to the end, and outlasted it." (N. T. Wright as quoted on p. 111) Centrality of the Cross Paul uses inflammatory language (Col. 2:13-15) Our trespasses are nailed to the cross as the charge against Jesus Jesus turns the tables on the authorities leading them captive in a victory parade The Scandal of the Cross "Instead of aping the enemy's act of violence and rejection, Christ, the victim who refuses to be defined by the perpetrator, forgives and makes space in himself for the enemy." (Miroslav Volf as quoted on p. 112) Colossians & Creation Paul's greeting points to a shalom that extends throughout creation Gospel "has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven" (Col. 1:23) Sweeping nature of this gospel undermines the opposing philosophy that denies the embodiment of creation through ascetic rituals "All things have been created through Christ and for Christ. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Therefore through him God is pleased to reconcile all things." (p. 112 version of Col. 1:16-20) Col. 1:20 pairs the concepts of "creational scope" with "embrace of pain" Vision of Colossians "Here is a vision of radical, creationwide inclusiveness of the kingdom, in contrast to the dismissive exclusiveness of the regime. All things are to be reconciled—even the thrones, dominions, rulers and authorities that put Christ on the cross and continue to wreak havoc in countless human lives. But that redemptive inclusion comes via the path of the cross, the embrace of pain" (p. 113) Truth Emerges from Praxis Paul doesn't debate theology with the philosophical opponents Paul points to the problems with faulty praxis The fruit that the Colossian Christians bear points to the truth Revisiting Moderism Upholds objective, rationalism as model for distinguishing truth Definition objectivism "an approach to knowledge that attempts to eschew all perspective rooted in particular times, places and traditions, in order to aspire to the 'view from nowhere'." (p. 121) How does the concept that "truth will set us free" square with the violence and oppression that reached its apex in the 20th century at the height of modernism? "'Objectivity' does not set us free from oppressive regimes." (p. 120) Modernism Revisited "The agenda of modernity has overreached itself. Its optimism about human capacities is misplaced and its assumption that there is a neutral standpoint wrong. There can be no indubitable foundation of knowledge, no uninterpreted experience, no completely transparent reading of the world. A cosmic or a divine language to express 'what was the case' is not available to us; all our languages are human languages, plural dialects growing on the soil of diverse cultural traditions and social conditions." (Miroslav Volf as quoted on p. 122) Modernism Revisited Overreaching pride idolatry Remember modernity was viewed as being in opposition to the Christian faith when it emerged "This is not a world of objects that sit mutely waiting for the human subject to master them. Rather, this (is) a world of created fellow subjects, all called into being by the same Creator, all born of the Creator's love, all included in the Creator's covenant of creational restoration, and all responsive agents in the kingdom of the beloved Son." (p. 123) Toward Biblical Knowledge "Knowing" in biblical terms connotes intimacy and relationship Yada, the Hebrew word for knowing, is used for sexual intercourse "Christians know the world from a committed place, a place of faith." Modernism replaces God as the judge of truth with "reason" Criteria for a Truthful Worldview (p. 127) "Comprehensive in scope" Should address all of life "Coherent" Specifically in the way of life it endorses "Sensitize its adherents to justice" Do we hear the cries of the oppressed? Makes humble claims and is "open to correction" "Generates a praxis … of life" Why Praxis Matters "What our world is waiting for, and what the church seems reluctant to offer, is not more incessant talk about objective truth, but an embodied witness that clearly demonstrates why anyone should care about any of this in the first place." (Phillip Kenneson as quoted on p. 128) Compare with Col. 2:1-4 Paul wants to "encourage the hearts" of the Colossians Paul wants the community at Colossae to be "united in love" Christian truth is embodied truth When Christian Praxis Fails "When the church fails to be a listening community, attentive to the cries of the poor, then the gospel is implausible and alternative social philosophies take on an air of plausibility. When the church becomes a site of bitter enmity while the world is spinning ever more quickly into war and violence, then the gospel is not only implausible, it is an embarrassment. In the face of such failures to be a community that embodies the truth that came to save the world, it is no wonder that alternative visions become more plausible to us."

BVTs or Build Verification Tests are standard Microsoft parlance for the tests we run every day to ensure that we didn't break anything important with our checkins the day before. I've previously written about the importance of keeping them clean. Within the range of tests that consistently pass, which ones should be in the BVT? BVT test failures should be something you're willing to act on immediately. In other words, the failures must be important. Based on that, here are some criteria:
- Test major scenarios not minor ones. If major features are failing, they will be fixed right away. If a minor feature is failing, it should be noted, but may have to wait until later to be fixed.
- Test majority use cases, not corner cases. Tests for the interaction of 3 parts shouldn't be in the BVTs. Tests outside most user scenarios shouldn't be in the BVTs. While every book on testing says to test the boundary conditions, the BVTs may not be the place to do that. Instead, pick the most likely to be used values and scenarios.
- Run "positive" not "negative" tests. By that I mean, don't send out-of-bounds conditions or invalid values. These are valid tests and should definitely be run, but not in the BVTs. An API faulting when sent a null pointer should be fixed, but the fix can wait until next week.
BVTs should be a carefully guarded set of tests. They need to run quickly, consistently, and their results should matter. If these rules are followed, the BVTs will be effective because failures will be respected. Restricting the BVTs to the most important scenarios will ensure that the results are given the appropriate respect.

"Classic John Grisham"
I could not stop listening to this audiobook. I am a long time fan of John Grisham, and The Associate was definitely not a disappointment. His portrayal of a fledgling lawyer in a huge law firm dealing with seemingly insurmountable problems was captivating. I was deeply engrossed from the first word.
"Don't Bother"
In the vain of Comic Book Man from The Simpsons..."WORST BOOK EVER" Please, do not waist a credit. I am truly surprised that John Grisham even bothered.
"not one of his best."
normally his books grab you from the first paragraph and then slowly build up, to a point that you cannot stop the story until the end. unfortunately not here, it took almost 4 hours until I actually decided that I cared about the characters, but only slightly and wanted to see it thru. the ending felt like he decided he didnt want to write anymore so he ended the book. really disapointing. spend you money else where. you will thank me for it.
"The Associate"
Very interesting read, lots of specifics related to the big firm wall street world of associates being worked to death.
Have to admit the ending left me wanting more. Felt like grisham ran out of ink for his printer so he wrapped it up in the most concise possible way.
"If you like Grisham,"
you'll find this novel pretty watered down. But if like Grisham, well it's what you'd expect and you'll enjoy it even if you're let down by the conclusion.
Great story but the ending was a huge disappointment. Grisham never revealed the villainous company that hired Benny.
"A Relief After Playing for Pizza"
John Grisham is usually best when he sticks to legal stories and this was a fun read, excuse me, LISTEN. I wouldn't say it's his best but after that dismal Playing for Pizza I'm so grateful this is, at least, fun, I probably added a star in the rating it didn't deserve. If you enjoy John Grisham's usual stories, I think you'll find this enjoyable too. I disagree with the critics of the ending. I think the "bad guy" in the book wouldn't have allowed any other ending than the one delivered.
"Wanted to stay in the car for this"
This is what Grisham does best Legal!
"Great story in spite of the ending"
Very engaging all the way through. Loved it..... but disappointed with the ending. Seemed to lend itself to a sequel which I doubt is coming. I would still highly recommend it.
"Grisham Does It Again"
As an avid Grisham fan, the Associate does not disappoint you. Looking forward to his next release.
