Curriculum Preview: Intro to Programming VEX IQ for ROBOTC!
We are excited to give you a preview into our newest curriculum series: The Introduction to Programming VEX IQ with ROBOTC. The website is still in-the-works, but it should be completely ready by August. The focus for this curriculum is on the VEX IQ virtual and/or physical robot and the ROBOTC 4.0 software featuring the new graphical function. It consists of videos, PDFs, quizzes, and our famous easy to use step-by-step videos. Check out some of the videos of from our curriculum series …
The Introduction to Programming VEX IQ with ROBOTC is a curriculum module designed to teach core computer programming logic and reasoning skills using a robotics engineering context. It contains a sequence of projects (plus one capstone challenge) organized around key robotics and programming concepts.
Why should I use the Introduction to Programming EV3 Curriculum?
Introduction to Programming provides a structured sequence of programming activities in real-world project-based contexts. The projects are designed to get students thinking about the patterns and structure of not just robotics, but also programming and problem-solving more generally. By the end of the curriculum, students should be better thinkers, not just coders.

Huffington Post Article Features CMU's Robotics Academy!
An article titled, "Robots Are Everywhere! Learning About Technology From Robotics" was recently published on the Huffington Post website featuring the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy! The author, Dr. Julie Dobrow from Tufts University, reached out to some of the staff at the Robotics Academy to get their take on robotics in the classroom. Here are some excerpts from the article …
The "Robotics Academy" at Carnegie Mellon University features a variety of tips for educators and parents on using robotics to teach kids about math, science, engineering and physics. Their extremely well-organized website offers curricular information, products and support to demonstrate ways to use both VEX systems (essentially a kit with all the component parts that enables kids to build a robot) and LEGOs to teach many STEM principles. All of their work and products are based on extensive research.
Robin Shoop, Director of the CMU Robotics Academy, believes that some of the work they are doing at CMU can make learning come alive. "Robots provide the hook that can be used to excite students about STEM academic concepts. Robotics activities in and of themselves will not improve STEM academic performance, but if robotics technologies are introduced correctly, and the STEM academic concepts are properly foregrounded, then robotics provides an excellent organizer to teach kids about STEM."
Ross Higashi, lead curriculum developer at CMU says, "It's a common misconception that involving robots in a curriculum or afterschool program makes STEM magic happen. That's simply not true… Robotics presents a wealth of opportunities to teach meaningful content. But doing that, it's not trivial. It's hard work. You need well-targeted lessons, and you need a teacher who can support students who are learning by doing. In the end, though, as many students and teachers will tell you: it's absolutely worth it, and the hardest fun they've ever had."
And kids do have fun. And not only kids. Jason McKenna, a K-8 teacher in the Hopewell(PA) Area School District who works with the CMU Robotics Academy points out that it's the combination of high engagement, the ability to teach each student at his or her instructional level and provide opportunities for differentiated engagement "that makes Robotics such fun for me as a teacher."
VEX IQ HighRise for Robot Virtual World!
The ROBOTC and Robot Virtual World teams are thrilled to announce the availability of our newest virtual world: VEX IQ Highrise! Like previous simulations of the VEX competitions, this virtual world includes a fully programmable robot, the correctly scaled field, game objects, and score and timer tracking. It's absolutely perfect for teams who want to do strategic planning and learn how to program.
Just like the official 2014-2015 VEX IQ competition, the object of the game is to attain the highest possible score by Scoring Cubes in the Scoring Zone and by building Highrises of Cubes of the same color on the Highrise Bases. Each Cube Scored in the Scoring Zone is worth a point value equal to the Highrise Height of the same color as the Cube. That is, if a team builds a Highrise of 3 red Scoring Cubes on the Highrise Base, a red cube in the Scoring Zone is worth 3 points.
Check out our latest video highlighting the game:
The download for the VEX Highrise virtual world, along with additional helpful information can be found at RobotVirtualWorlds.com/VEXIQ.
ROBOTC at the China International Robotic Show
The China ROBOTC team sent us some great photos from the China International Robotic Show in Shanghai, which they'll be at from July 9-11. We will update the photos here and on our Facebook page as we get them from the weekend!
Cool Project: VEX IQ Great Ball Contraption
The engineers at VEX had some fun one weekend and built this Great Ball Contraption. It was featured at Brickworld 2014 as part of one of the world's largest GBC's!
Each module was created independently with common inlet/outlet bays so that they could be reconfigured in any order. They even include some of the new multicolored VEX IQ parts, coming summer 2014!

Cool Project: VEX IQ Quadruped
In my last post about the VEX IQ building system I had a small video featuring my VEX Quadruped. I've done a bit of work on it since then and the gait has been greatly improved. I also added some small rubber feet on the legs. These are the traction links from the Tank Tread & Intake Kit.
Due to the heavy load that these motors are under, you may find that the batteries will run down a bit faster than you're used to. Good thing the kits come with a charger!
Up next on the agenda is to add some sensors and have it interact a bit more. The little wheels on the bottom are not used when it is walking; the robot is fully lifted off the ground.
I've taken some picture, so you can see how it's put together. These should be enough to copy the design, should you wish to. You can download the program to run this here: [LINK]. Note that part of the code is based on the excellent guide on creating an Arduino based quadruped: [LINK].

More Homeowners Take To Selling At Auctions
For the last few years, it has been a buyer's market. Low interest rates and home prices gave buyers the undeniable advantage. Sellers on the other hand, struggled to get top dollar for their non-distressed homes, often selling at a loss or having their homes sit on the markets for months and months.
Frustrated by the slow and sometimes unfruitful process of selling their homes the traditional way, more homeowners have taken to selling their homes in a rather unconventional way: at auction.
Why sellers choose auctions
"We launched a special individual home sellers division in January 2012 because of the growing interest among sellers in the auction method," says Fontana Fitzwilson, executive vice president of Williams, Williams and McKissick, a real estate auction company in Tulsa, Okla. "The number one reason sellers like auctions is that they offer a time-definite method of sale."

You can also call an Advisor for more information.
Use a Harness, it's just smarter! Written By JohnC, Charlotte, NC on Saturday, November 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It just makes sense to use a harness rather than butcher your factory wiring. Think about the resale of the vehicle, you can take the stereo with you if you wish, or the next owner may want to replace what you installed. Butchering the wiring is not wise, in my opinion, these harness are worth the money! Pros: Makes hook-ups easier, no need to look up what the factory wiring color codes are Cons: None I can think of.
Axxess AX-ADTY01 with 2010 Toyota Camry with JBL Written By rstefano, Chantilly, VA on Thursday, April 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This product simplifies installation. I installed this product in a 2010 Toyota Camry with JBL System. All the work wiring can be done ahead of time using this harness in conjunction with Metra's AX-ADBOX1 Interface Box and ASWC-1 Steering Wheel remote. Together these items plug right into this car harness simplifying installation. One important note is that the illumination wire is not included with this harness so you'll need to tap directly into the car harness for illumination control. Crutchfield Tech Support emailed the car harness pin out and identified the correct wire to tap into for radio illumination. I used this product with an Alpine CDE-W235BT, stock JBL Amp, stock JBL speakers and it works fantastic. Pros: Makes installation a breeze Cons: No illumination wire.
Makes installation a breeze Written By Mark C., La Mirada, CA on Saturday, January 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This harness made installation of my new head unit a breeze. The harness snaps right into the factory wiring and after a few wire connections to the new radio wiring harness, you are done. Instructions sheet is very clear and easy to follow. Pros: Makes for fast and clean installation like a pro even if done a novice like me. Cons: There was one extra connector that was not needed in my installation. I wish there was something in the instructions that tells me that so I wasn't wondering if I missed something.

Sony is "very encouraged" by the Western response to its Vita TV, the device that will be capable of playing Vita games and streaming PS4 games, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House told Eurogamer on Friday. The Vita TV is currently only planned for release in Japan on November 14, with later releases reaching China and South Korea.
House explained that Sony is launching the Vita TV in Japan first because "there is no existing competitor in the region for the device, whereas streaming media boxes in the West are more commonplace."
In a separate interview, Sony Japan executive Masayasu Ito noted that the company would have to "watch the environment and identify what other services are available" before they decide to launch the Vita TV in the US or Europe. Until Sony makes their decision, you can take the pre-emptive route and see which Vita games are planned to be supported by the Vita TV. If it remains in Asia for eternity, however, well... there's always the Super Game Boy.

Why would KCAC football be any different than the rest of the nation in a week where the nation's top 25 teams took beatings at the hand of their underdog opponents. So be it with Saturday's match-up where the #13 ranked Bethel College Threshers (2-0) took there first loss at the hands of the Warriors 24-3.
Latecomers to the Santa Fe Children's Lit Festival were not a disruption; they were unnoticed. The students attending were already too engaged in what authors Alane Ferguson and Jane Kurtz were sharing.
It's a record-breaking year for Sterling College. A total of 654 students have enrolled at Sterling College this fall making this the largest enrollment in the College's 121 year history. Sterling has 30 more students than the second highest recorded enrollment the fall of 1968.
Another first for Sterling College happened last week – the first "Department of the Year" award. Sterling College Art & Design chair William Morse accepted the first "Department of the Year" award in a faculty reception last week. The new award is designed to recognize outstanding achievements in recruitment and retention along with improvements in an academic program. The award comes with a $1000 gift for the department.
Sterling College senior Derrick Sullivan has been named this weeks NAIA and the Victory Sports Network Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in Sterling's 24-3 upset win over #13 Bethel College this past Saturday.
Following a season in which the Sterling College debate team was ranked in the top 25 in the nation, this fall the team has picked up right where they left off by winning each division of the second annual "Debates on a Plain" Tournament, held at Barton College. Amassing an overall record of 20-1, the team easily captured the overall team sweepstakes and was named the championship team in both the varsity and novice divisions. The "Debates on a Plain" Tournament was one of the largest tournaments in Kansas this fall, hosting more than twenty competing teams.
Sterling College will host its homecoming Thursday through Saturday, October 16-18. This homecoming marks the first annual "Run with the Warriors" 5K. Festivities also include three productions of the musical Fiddler on the Roof, soccer and football games, the dedication of the new Douglas Residences, Homecoming Hangout, the Pancake/Sausage Feed at the United Presbyterian Church, and the Homecoming Parade through downtown Sterling. For more information, contact Sterling's Alumni office at email@example.com or (620)278-4228.
Sterling College will be presenting the Homecoming musical, Fiddler on the Roof, at 7:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, October 16-18, 2008, in Culbertson Auditorium on the SC campus. It is directed by Gordon Kling and choreographed by Diane DeFranco-Kling.
Sterling College has announced its eight Homecoming King and Queen Candidates for the SC Homecoming weekend on October 16 – October 18, 2008. Candidates are selected by fellow classmates and employees of the College. Candidates must have a least a 2.5 gpa, be in good standing with College and must be a senior or a junior who plans to graduate in the spring. This year's King Candidates include:

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Question from DickWillen
How to use armour skills?
I have no idea how to obtain or how to use armour skills and it is not explained anywhere in the game and i cannot find a guide on the internet. If someone could explain to me what it is and how you use it or where i can find a guide that will it would be greatly appreciated.

Accepted Answer
It's not too hard. Basically, armor pieces, Decorations, and Talismans give points in Skills. When you reach a milestone (10, 15 or 20, varying with different skills), you gain the effects of the skill. You can see the number of points by looking through the Equipment Detail and Status sections in your menu. Hitting Skill Info in those sections will allow you to see what a skill does and its different milestones. That's probably the most important bit, though you can find in more detail what skills do with a bit of digging. Good resources are Gamefaqs, the Minegarde forums, of the Monster Hunter Wikia.
When beginning to mess around with it, start with getting a full set of armor (all pieces of the same set: monster and rank) then fiddle with the Decorations to get rid of any negative skills, and increase the levels of any positive skills (for example, Jaggi Armor gives Attack Up (S), but some proper gemming can give it Attack Up (M)). Decorations are numbered by the number of slots they take up, and give varying points. The bigger the Decoration, the more slots it takes up, so keep in mind how many slots your armor pieces have (for example, Jaggi Armor has 3 pieces with one slot each, just enough to put in tw Attack 1 Gems for Attack Up (M) and have one slot left over for if you have a Talisman with a +9 in something, perhaps)).
Talismans are basically nothing but skill points, and good ones can help you make your dream armors at G-Rank, or just give you a boost to getting an extra skill on an armor that wouldn't normally have it.

James, you have problemz.
A claim without evidence can be rejected without evidence. They are making a claim that they always existed as a 'persecuted Church' but they never present ANY evidence whatsoever for that notion.
Has anyone here read The Pilgrim Church by E.H. Broadbent? It seems to be in the same realm as Trail of Blood - claiming that there were always "true believers" (i.e. Baptists or Brethren) down through the ages that were persecuted by the historic Church (usually identified as the Roman Catholic Church which started with Constantine).The theory's rubbish, right?

What Is Jazz?
Wynton Marsalis believes America is in danger of losing the truest mirror of our national identity. If that's the case, we are at least fortunate that today jazz's foremost performer is also its most eloquent advocate.
October 1995 | Volume 46, Issue 6
Who's next in the pantheon?
John Coltrane. Now, Trane is very, very essential. Trane is an example for all musicians because his development came from phenomenally hard work. And Trane's sound has a special dignity to it, a deep compassion. It's very earnest. It gives you a whole new idea of how the blues can be played. It's not low-down, guttural blues, but it's still deeply soulful. Listen to Coltrane Plays the Blues . Doo weee-ooooh— Trane sounds like he's playing field hollers sometimes! Trane brought the spirituals back. Once again, his sound is ancient but new, something you've never yet heard, with both the sound of field hollers and the psychological complexity Bird brought into the music.
One thing about musicians like Coltrane or Bird or Monk or Miles, when he was serious about playing, is the amount of information they conveyed simply in their sound . Louis Armstrong's sound—that might have been someone playing outside the walls of Jericho! That's some ancient information. The musicians who are the most successful are the ones who cause the most eras to resonate.
And once you combine Coltrane with his drummer Elvin Jones—because without Elvin, Coltrane is not the same—that's two people who pack the same amounts of information into their instruments. Elvin Jones sounds like some ancient African drummer. He's from Pontiac, Michigan! But the ages resonate when he plays. The way Elvin hits a cymbal, it has the sound of the earth in it.
What did the best drummers contribute?
The drum is the heart of the music. The music has two things, incantation and percussion. It's like the sound of a train: Ask a group of kids, "How does a train sound?" Some of them will go "Woo-woo-woo," others will go "Chicka-chicka-chicka." That's the blues. Incantation and percussion. We have a tendency to talk only about the incantation side, Ellington or Miles Davis. But without the percussion side, without that rhythm section—no music.
And after Coltrane?
Well, there's Ornette Coleman. He brought another way of playing the blues, a real country way of playing the blues, the Texas blues. The sound of Charlie Parker, the whole tradition of the saxophone—Parker, Johnny Hodges—really resonates when Omette plays. He plays very short themes, but they're very melodic. He's a genius melodic improviser.
What about the free-jazz innovations of his that everybody talks about? That's just what they talk about. He's had one conception that was innovative, of playing across the bar. He hears phrases rhythmically a certain way. He doesn't think, "I have to fit this melody into eight bars." He'll play it in seven, or seven and a half, or whatever. He hears across-bar phrases. I love that, and I try to write my own music like that. Do you understand what he calls his harmolodic theory? No, I think that's just some type of theoretical conception he wants to talk about. I don't think it's what he's playing. What is he playing? He's playing country blues. In short phrases. I've talked to Omette about his notion of free jazz. I don't understand it. I think it's chaos. Maybe it's not, but that's what I think it is. Chaos is always out there; it's something you can get from any fifty kids in a band room. I'm in favor of using that conception when kids first start playing. It helps them explore their instruments and music without restraint. Are there any great contributors after Coleman? There are so many I haven't touched on: Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Ahmad Jamal. There are so many bad mothers, man. The list of truly great musicians goes on and on. Now we have Marcus Roberts, somebody who's actually rejoining the tradition to itself. But he's not recognized. Isn't he too young to have a fully developed personality? No, his personality is very clear. It's highly developed. Once again, you get that deep blues sound. And then he combines a conception of rhythm that never before existed—playing in two totally different times—with the tradition of stride piano. No one has ever syncopated the way Marcus does. And he gives tremendous attention to thematic material. It's the same few things we keep seeing in the great players. His solos are beautifully organized. You would put Marcus Roberts in the same category as Monk? I don't know if I could do that, but only because I don't know how far above an impoverished environment you can rise. Monk comes out of a golden age; Marcus Roberts comes out of a barren desert. It has been a criticism of you that you're deaf to a lot of interesting music since the era of Coltrane and Coleman.

Appalling customer service. My family booked the titanic palace hurgarda. On the web site I selected the 2 bedroom apartment as my 16 year old step son was coming. When booking over the phone I asked twice that it was two bed roomed, agent said yes.After many mistakes by teletext booking the wrong flight ect, I fought it was sorted out until a few days before they called me for passport details. I went on to double check all aspects of my booking, my two bed roomed apartment was now 1 bedroom and a living area that converts into two beds. After much arguing that this is not what I booked after two hours they finally put me through to manager. He confirmed that it was two bedroomed but would ring me the next day to after he called the operator. As usual I received no call. Imagine my surprise when we arrived to just 1 roomed apartment with all 4 of us sleeping in the same room. Also my sister had booked the same and only had 1 room for the 4 of them, and on arrival they had not even booked my brothers room. It was 11 o'clock at night, we had to call the rep on our paperwork to sort it out. After about an hour the rep sorted it out. Shocking no body ever calls you back and when you try to complain they do not know what you are talking about as they do not understand basic English. Will never use again.

Lack Of Drinkable Water At Governor's Island Forces Visitors To Pay Up
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If you plan on heading out to Governor's Island this summer, you better bring some bottled water along.
"How can an island like this not have fresh water?"
It's a question many heading to the island ponder, according to New York City Park Advocates' Geoffrey Croft.
But it's true. The $15 million project to build a water pipe from Brooklyn is still a work in progress, WCBS 880's Jim Smith reported.
The trust for Governor's Island said it will be completed by August.
To add insult to injury, if you don't remember to bring any water with you, you will need to purchase water for $2.50 a bottle from vendors.
"It's pretty harsh especially when the summer gets really hot. It's gonna be tough so you have to remember, bring your own," said Adela.
Everyone getting off the ferry from Governor's Island told 1010 WINS' Gary Baumgarten they had a great time exploring, but couldn't believe there was no drinkable water.
"I think it's a shame where you spend $75 million on renovation, they should have some drinking water. I heard that they were — a couple saying they needed something to drink for their kids and there was no water unless you purchased water on the island," said Eddie.
"If it's for the public, it (water) should be provided for the public," Andrea said.
When the Coast Guard was in charge of the island they had a water filtration system, but later testing showed it wasn't safe to drink, Baumgarten reported.

Dr. Stephen N. Xenakis, a retired Army brigadier general and a practicing psychiatrist, said the suicides reflect the level of tension as the U.S. eases out of Afghanistan though violence continues.
"It's a sign in general of the stress the Army has been under over the 10 years of war," he said in an interview. "We've seen before that these signs show up even more dramatically when the fighting seems to go down and the Army is returning to garrison."
But Xenakis said he worries that many senior military officers do not grasp the nature of the suicide problem.
A glaring example of that became public when a senior Army general recently told soldiers considering suicide to "act like an adult."
Maj. Gen. Dana Pittard, commander of the 1st Armored Division, last month retracted — but did not apologize for — a statement in his Army blog in January. He had written, "I have now come to the conclusion that suicide is an absolutely selfish act." He also wrote, "''I am personally fed up with soldiers who are choosing to take their own lives so that others can clean up their mess. Be an adult, act like an adult, and deal with your real-life problems like the rest of us." He did also counsel soldiers to seek help.
His remarks drew a public rebuke from the Army, which has the highest number of suicides and called his assertions "clearly wrong." Last week the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, said he disagrees with Pittard "in the strongest possible terms."
The military services have set up confidential telephone hotlines, placed more mental health specialists on the battlefield, added training in stress management, invested more in research on mental health risk and taken other measures.
The Marines established a counseling service dubbed "DStress line," a toll-free number that troubled Marines can call anonymously. They also can use a Marine website to chat online anonymously with a counselor.
The Marines arguably have had the most success recently in lowering their suicide numbers, which are up slightly this year but are roughly in line with levels of the past four years. The Army's numbers also are up slightly. The Air Force has seen a spike, to 32 through June 3 compared to 23 at the same point last year. The Navy is slightly above its 10-year trend line but down a bit from 2011.
As part of its prevention strategy, the Navy has published a list of "truths" about suicide.
"Most suicidal people are not psychotic or insane," it says. "They might be upset, grief-stricken, depressed or despairing."
In a report published in January the Army said the true impact of its prevention programs is unknown.
"What is known is that all Army populations ... are under increased stress after a decade of war," it said, adding that if not for prevention efforts the Army's suicide totals might have been as much as four times as high.
Marine Sgt. Maj. Bryan Battaglia, the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, recently issued a video message to all military members in which he noted that suicides "are sadly on the rise."
"From private to general, we shoulder an obligation to look and listen for signs and we stand ready to intervene and assist our follow service member or battle buddy in time of need," Battaglia said.
The suicide numbers began surging in 2006. They soared in 2009 and then leveled off before climbing again this year. The statistics include only active-duty troops, not veterans who returned to civilian life after fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan. Nor does the Pentagon's tally include non-mobilized National Guard or Reserve members.
The renewed surge in suicides has caught the attention of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. Last month he sent an internal memo to the Pentagon's top civilian and military leaders in which he called suicide "one of the most complex and urgent problems" facing the Defense Department, according to a copy provided to the AP.
Panetta touched on one of the most sensitive aspects of the problem: the stigma associated seeking help for mental distress. This is particularly acute in the military.
"We must continue to fight to eliminate the stigma from those with post-traumatic stress and other mental health issues," Panetta wrote, adding that commanders "cannot tolerate any actions that belittle, haze, humiliate or ostracize any individual, especially those who require or are responsibly seeking professional services."

text: Importance of Jewish Roots For many Christians, the Jews and Judaism seem like the last place to learn anything about Christianity. Christianity and Judaism appear to be opposites. It sounds heretical even to suggest that Jesus, Peter, Paul, and John were Jews. Yet they were! And that's the catch: Christianity worships a Jewish Savior, whose Jewish disciples founded a Jewish religion in Israel. They spoke the Jewish language (Hebrew), they read the Jewish scriptures, they attended Jewish synagogues, they taught using the teaching techniques of the Jewish religious teachers of their day (the rabbis). These are the same people that wrote (for the most part) our Christian scriptures, both the Old and the New Testaments. Jesus was a Jew of the line of David (Matt. 1:6)! Paul was a student of the famous Rabbi Gamaliel (Acts 22:3)! What's important about the Jewish Roots of Christianity? Everything. Because without the Jews and Judaism there would be no Christianity. And since Christianity started among the Jews, we must understand our Jewish Roots to understand our Bibles correctly. Without them we are liable to misunderstand much of what the Christian faith is about! Christian Anti-Semitism Why is it that Christians know so little about their Jewish Roots? I know it sounds crazy, but in the early years of the Christian faith, Gentile Christians rejected Jewish Christians, calling them heretics (after about the mid-2nd cent. AD). Why? Because they continued to live as Jews, just like Jesus, Peter, and Paul had done. Think about that for a minute: Gentile Christians rejected their Jewish brothers in the faith, the spiritual and physical descendants of the apostles, because they continued to live just as Jesus and the apostles had done. Why did they consider it wrong that they lived as Jews? In part it was a misunderstanding of the Bible's teachings about Jews and Gentiles in relation to the Law of Moses. But it was also because of anti-Semitic beliefs brought by Gentiles into the Church. These anti-Semitic beliefs and the actions that followed polarized Christians and Jews for centuries. Horrible persecutions and atrocities were done, mostly by Christians against Jews. The most horrible of all took place just a few years ago: the destruction of 6,000,000 Jews in Europe--the Holocaust. These were not military casualties. They were ordinary men, women, and children sent to the gas chambers to be killed. Who did this horrible thing? The Nazis. And who were the Nazis? Mostly Germans. Germany was one of the most Christian nations in the world: home of Martin Luther, the father of the Protestant Reformation. Why did a Christian nation do something so horrible? In part, because of what pastors and priests had been preaching in the churches: hatred of the Jews. 1 It's one thing to recognize that a person or a group of people are sinners: The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). But to call for the destruction of an entire ethnic group because of the sin of a few of their ancestors is something completely different, and a direct contradiction of the Bible, which says that each man is responsible for his own sin (Deut. 24:16, 2 Chron. 25:4, Ez. 18:20). Jesus commanded us to love our enemies (Matt. 5:44): how much more should we love the Jewish people, through whom our faith came to us (John 4:22)? The recognition of sin and disobedience in a person or group should inspire the desire to lead them into God's grace and forgiveness, not to destroy them. Yet the church often took the opposite point of view: it counseled, or at least condoned, the destruction of the Jews. Martin Luther himself wrote: What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews?... I shall give you my sincere advice: First, to set fire to their synagogues...in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians.... I advise that their houses also be…destroyed..... I advise that their prayer books and Talmudic writings...be taken from them.... I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb.... (On the Jews and Their Lies, 1543) Who Killed Jesus? These cruel attitudes were encouraged by the popular teaching that "the Jews killed Christ." But this is not what the New Testament says. According to the Bible, it was not the Jews, but Roman soldiers who killed Jesus (John 19:23). They did this in obedience to the orders of Pontius Pilate, the Roman (non-Jewish) governor of Judea (Mark 15:15). Yes, Pilate washed his hands. But if I wash my hands, does that make me innocent of a crime? Pilate could easily have spared Jesus if he wanted to. But he ordered his soldiers to crucify him. It was not the Jews who killed Jesus. It was the Gentile Romans! (For more on this topic, see our Question and Answer category Crucifixion.) Yes, the Jewish leadership participated in this crime: they brought Jesus to Pilate. And there were Jews in the crowd that day shouting, "Crucify him!" Neither of these are commendable actions. But they hardly count as grounds for a charge of murder. Nor does the cry that came from the crowd, "His blood be on us and on our children" (Matt. 27:25). The Jews could have killed Jesus. They almost did several times: once in Nazareth by pushing him off a cliff (Luke 4:29, see our teaching The Messianic Judge), twice in Judea by stoning (John 8:59, 10:31). But they never actually brought themselves to do it. The Gentiles had no such reservations. They 2 killed Jesus the same morning he was delivered to them, and they have killed many hundreds of thousands, in fact, many millions of Jews since. Pagan Influences Anti-Semitism corrupted not only the Church's morality, but also its beliefs. Pagan ideas quickly replaced Jewish and Biblical ones in the Church's teaching and practice--and the original Biblical ideas were forgotten. Many of these "Gentilizations" of the faith can still be found both in traditional churches and in many Protestant churches, too. For example: In the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church taught (and still teaches today) that something called the Beatific Vision will be the reward of the righteous in heaven: that they will eternally contemplate this "beautiful vision" of God. This is a completely spiritual, that is to say, a completely non-physical eternity with God. And it sounds suspiciously similar to the pagan Roman belief of a heavenly eternity for those that are worthy. Similar ideas have been advocated by many Protestant groups. So why is this a problem? Because the original Jewish and Biblical view of eternity is quite different, in fact you could say just the opposite. For the Bible teaches an actual, physical resurrection of the body: a body that will be just as physically real as the bodies we live in today. Not only that, a physical resurrection implies a physical place to live in- -first the earth of the millennial kingdom (Rev. 20), then a completely new earth with a new heavens (Isa. 65:17; Rev. 21,22). Both of these were originally understood to be real, physical places, in which the fullness of life, including physical life, will be restored to us. This idea of an actual physical resurrection was laughed at by Gentiles in the time of the apostles (Acts 17:32), and is still widely rejected by their descendants today. But among the Jews, it was so important that to deny it was to become a heretic, denied a place in the world to come (Mishnah Sanh. 10:1). Jesus and the apostles accepted and taught this doctrine as a central belief, which was greatly strengthened when Jesus himself rose physically from the dead (Luke 24:36-43; 1 Cor. 15). For centuries, the beautiful, Biblical vision of a resurrected future was rejected by the Church because it was "too Jewish." Yet it's the only way to make sense of the Bible's insistence on a real, physical resurrection. What need will there be for physical, resurrected bodies if we're just going to float around in an immaterial heaven? Most Christian groups say they believe in the resurrection. But do we understand it the way Jesus and his Jewish disciples did? (For other examples of paganism in the Church, see our Jewish Roots of Christianity Seminar; for more on the prophetic future, see our Revelation Seminar and the Question and Answer topic Prophecy.) Israel's Prophetic Destiny Being in touch with our Jewish Roots is not just a matter of accurate understanding. It's also a matter of prophetic destiny. Israel is not just another nation: Israel is God's plan for 3 the nations. Israel is God's answer to a sinful and fallen world: a holy people, raised up by God as a testimony to the nations; a lighthouse pointing the way to the one true God. As the apostle Paul put it: "Remember that you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise [made with Israel], having no hope and in the world without God. But now, in Christ Jesus, you [non-Jews] who once were far away were made near by the blood of Christ…. So, therefore, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but you are fellow-citizens [of Israel] with the holy ones and members of the household of God" (Ephesians 2:12,13,19). Through Christ, we who are Gentiles (non-Jews) have been added to the nation of Israel: as Paul puts it, we the wild olive branches have been grafted into its rich root (Romans 11:17-24). Yes, other branches--many of them--have been broken off because of unbelief. Physical Israel (the Jewish people) is largely in rejection of its Messiah. But God's plan and purpose—Israel's destiny—are unchanged. Faith does not just bring us to a particular religious philosophy, or even to the right God. It brings us into a specific relationship of obedience--a covenant--with God, which incorporates us into a nation--the nation of Israel, with all the loyalties and interrelationships that this implies. This spiritual nation is not limited to the modern nation of Israel in the Middle East, nor even to the Jewish people, but includes those from every nation, people, and language that willingly submit themselves to Israel's Messiah (Rev. 5:9). Yet at the same time, it is essentially a Jewish nation, built on the foundation of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all those that have followed them in faith (John 4:22). We need to align ourselves spiritually with Israel—the saved Israel that is to come (Rom. 11:26), and by faith in that coming change with Israel and the Jewish people today. This does not imply, as some incorrectly suppose, that we must all become Jewish. Within the spiritual nation of Israel there are many callings (1 Cor. 7:18-20). As in the United States, those in different states fall under different jurisdictions with different requirements. The kingdom of Messiah is analogous to the historical kingdom of David, in which King David ruled over many Gentile nations in addition to Judah and Israel. These Gentiles were not brought under the jurisdiction of the Jewish regions of the kingdom to live like Jews, yet all were subject to the rulings of the king. So too, Messiah Jesus rules a "greater Israel" over many kinds of sheep, not all of which live as Jews, but are from every tribe, language, and nation (John 10:16). This was the decision of the apostles and the Holy Spirit in the Council of Acts 15, and is, in fact, the teaching of the Old Testament Law itself: that Jews and Gentiles have distinct callings within the plan of God and within the kingdom of Israel's Messiah. This is another crucial Jewish and Biblical concept that the Church is in danger of forgetting. (For more on the complex topic of Gentiles and the Law of Moses, see our teaching on the Laws of Noah and the Question and Answer category Gentile Christians.) 4 This is just a small taste of why the Jewish Roots of Christianity are so important. Without them, without an accurate historical understanding of our Jewish origins, Christianity is less than Christian. How can we get back to our Jewish Roots? It isn't easy. We must be willing to confront centuries of tradition and modern misunderstandings. But it's the only way to recapture the original clear light of the gospel. __________________________ See this Seminar about this topic: The Jewish Roots of Christianity Read this Article about this topic: The Laws of Noah See these Question and Answer topics: Jewish Roots of Christianity Gentile Christians 5

The first Renault car appeared in 1898, eight years after the advent of the first motor car in Europe. This appearance was down to one man, Louis Renault, a pioneer who chose innovation and competition to get himself noticed at a time when a large number of entrepreneurs were going down the same avenue. During the Belle Epoque, Renault made an increasing number of technical discoveries, dared to launch new products such as lorries and buses and aircraft and boat engines. Its renown grew fast, firstly thanks to the reputation of its cars, recognised as the French specialist in luxury goods, and secondly its reputation as the manufacturer of the taxis seen driving up and down the roads of the biggest cities in the world. Step by step Louis Renault built an industrial production plant made up of factories purchased one after the other in Boulogne, an area to the west of Paris. The First World War provided him with the opportunity to substantially develop his business and to position the company as a major player as far back as then.

Yeah expo is for sure personal preference (i like negative for rudder outside and more positive for inside) . What I was saying is the higher you go above 30 the more required stick movement which makes for harder to be precise and impossible to not apply larger stick movements to correct flight.

Good news and bad news. Good news is the porpoising is due to trim not inherent in the heli. Look up " msrx porpoising" and you'll get 100s of hits if robo heli doesnt beat you to the punch with a faster answer.
Bad news. Either stock up on blade grips or go buy the 18 buch aluminum ones from cnc. They are very worth it! |

I can fly forward. I can fly forward fast. I get some porpoising when I fly into the wind but that seems expected. You sure you didn't just hit a gust of wind that caused it to pop up? Sorry I don't have a whole lot to say on this one... Mine flies fine forward... Oh, and get the Rakon Heli CNC grips right away. The red ones look great and you won't worry about breaking a plastic ball in flight. That happened to me ONCE and then converted my entire head to Rakon Heli red anodized aluminum parts. Never looked back... |

Ah...did your "pop" upwards occur when applying rudder after only giving it cyclic? Have you applied the MMM to your heli yet? I've got the RakonHeli CNC swash and shortened my elevator link by 2 full turns and lengthened my aileron like by 2 full turns.
I typically fly with rudder and cyclic inputs all the time. I only go cyclic-only (e.g. head holding mode) when I'm taking off and landing or panicking after avoiding a near-crash indoors. I fly in a soccer field and even when the wind is blowing, my little birds (yah, I've got 2--fly one while the other cools) just tear up the sky. I've not encountered the porposing effect so much myself. I also haven't seen attitude holding in forward flight so much either. When I center the joystick, it does tend to pull back on the elevator. However, I don't know if that's when I was in head-holding mode (e.g. hovering indoors) or in rate-mode when I'm riding the rudder in outdoor flight. To be honest, I haven't paid too much attention to that. Also, my DX6i is on its way back from HH for a warranty replacement of the radio board (I've been grounded for two weeks...sob) and so I'll be putting these guys through their paces again soon enough and will try to pay attention more to these issues. To be honest, when my MSRXs are in the open sky, I never experience any issues with piro problems, left turn issues, porposing (well, unless I'm riding into the wind) and so on. These birds were meant for the big open spaces and when they've got some speed going on, they handle just fine for me. |

Very interesting. I think I'll give it a go with the stock tx just to see what it flies like.
Well after a little flying there's good news and bad news. The good news is that this thing can now turn without crashing. It won't win any piro speed awards, but both slow left and right turns in my small bedroom are a breeze. The bad news, this thing porpoises like no tomorrow, and not just in FFF. It will do it to either side and also backwards. It flies like the worst 45* flybar heli I can imagine. The other night I was able to fly well into my neighbor's yard before it shot to the moon. Today it shoots up so soon that I can hardly get any forward speed. I flew it up and down the street in massive, swinging archs. Often it would gain 15-20ft in altitude and in fact go BACKWARDS while holding full forward cyclic. I honestly didn't think it was possible for a non-flybar heli to resist forward flight so strongly. Rudder application mattered not, as it did this horrendous pendulum with or without touching the rudder. For one brief moment I was able to experience true FFF as a real heli would fly. From about 40 feet in the air (it had gained that much altitude doing these massive pendulum swings) it finally flew straight and true, never pulling up as I expected, gaining a tremendous head of speed in a beautiful, constant attitude just as I would like it to fly... straight into the pavement. Now that the canopy is shattered, I'm pretty ready to have HH take this pile of crap back and I think I'll go buy something for 1/5 of the price from Walkera. |

Don't give up - Mine has done this before, I've fixed it (can't remember how now) then a few months later, I was fooling around with it and accidentally got it porpoising again (and fixed it again). It had to do with the trim on the front (elevator? Sorry, I'm a plane guy,different anatomy to me!) - shorten the front linkage a few turns, then do the opposite if this doesn't solve it. Also - check to make sure all of your ball linkages are hooked up - sounds basic, but I had one come free and didn't realize it for a surprisingly long time.

^I gave it a crank down to no effect. I followed the servo leveling guidelines and they have improved turning 100 fold, but made the porpoising worse. Maybe I'll just arbitrarily dial in a few turns on the elevator and see what it does.
I wonder if temperature has something to do with it. It is a little chilly outside, maybe 15-20 degrees cooler than in the house. I'll let the heli sit out on my front steps while the batteries recharge. Now, I don't know how accurate this is, but I just tried both the original MSR and the 120 SR on Phoenix. Both helicopters will let me fly forward indefinitely if I hold in forward cyclic. In fact, if I jam it forward and hold, they'll even let me stuff them right into the ground. Save for that one crash mentioned above, my MSRX refuses. Full foward cyclic results in a dive forward and a heroic shot skyward no matter what. I cannot replicate this on the sim even with a 45* flybar heli. |
Sep 24, 2012, 05:56 PM | |
My MSRX will NOT porpoise. If i give it full cyclic it will eventually hit the ground - and at an alarming forward rate of speed.
