Third Sunday of Easter
Sermon starts at 12:51 in the recording
Gospel: Luke 24:36b-48
36 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
'Peace be with you.'
37They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38He said to them, 'Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.' 40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, 'Have you anything here to eat?' 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate in their presence.
44 Then he said to them, 'These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled.' 45Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46and he said to them, 'Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things.
Afterthoughts: The Cost
I shared this Sunday about some things that are "Too Good to be True."
Indeed, there is a lot about the Scriptures,
its promises and the Gospel,
that seem too good to be true.
But they are true.
From the readings this last Sunday, it is true that:
· A healing of our souls is possible.
· A blessing received during times of difficulty is possible.
· A community that we can all belong to is possible.
· A Savior of our souls is possible.
But, there is a cost.
There's always a catch, isn't there.
Well, there is for these things too.
The Scriptures spell this out pretty clearly for us this past week.
Acts 3 says this,
"Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out."
In this scene from Acts,
Peter is addressing several things that are important.
He is addressing the crowd's response to a healing,
the killing of Jesus
and the response to these things.
The Jews who were gathered had gotten it wrong.
They killed the Messiah.
Also, they couldn't bring themselves to believe the message of the Gospel.
Because of this, Peter calls them to repentance.
They needed to turn from their errors about the Messiah, Jesus, Jesus' death and God's plan of salvation.
And repentance is a death.
A death to our erroneous beliefs to come to faith in God's truth.
A death to our stubbornness to change.
A death to our inability to see where we are wrong.
We are called to this.
Psalm 4 says this,
"Offer the appointed sacrifices and put your trust in the Lord."
Sacrifice, for us, does not have the same umph that it did for the people during the times the Old Testament was written.
Sacrifices were difficult.
They cost something.
It meant giving something up.
With a purpose.
And sacrifice usually involved violence.
The taking the life of something.
A bird.
A lamb.
A goat.
A bull.
a death for sure.
In the cultures surrounding Israel,
It could even involve taking the life of a child.
When the Psalmist calls us to make a sacrifice and trust God,
It is akin to Peter calling for repentance.
The Psalmist is saying,
· Sacrifice your pride.
· Sacrifice your ego.
· Sacrifice your hopelessness.
· Sacrifice your distrust.
· Sacrifice your disbelief.
We are called to this.
1 John 3 says this,
"What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure."
What will I become?
This is a question that many ask.
For those who place their faith in Jesus,
This question takes on a bit more significance.
I know that I will change during this lifetime,
But what will I become in the next life?
I have had many ask about this.
What will heaven be like?
Will I be able to recognize my friends and family?
Will they be able to recognize me?
Will I appear as the old me or the young me?
More questions than answers.
In this life, it is our quest to be more like Jesus.
This truth gives passion to our journey.
And if we are to be more like Jesus,
This will have a major impact upon us.
A cartoon that I recently saw captures the truth of this quite well.
In the first frame of the cartoon,
The Christian is in their bed praying,
"Oh Lord, please make me more like Jesus."
In the second frame of the cartoon,
The Christian is nailed to a cross and saying,
Many times we have a desire to be like Jesus
without living life like Jesus.
Discipleship requires death.
Like the other passages before.
Death to self.
Death to ego.
We are called to this.
In Luke's Gospel, Jesus says,
"Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations."
Jesus' words to His astonished and very shaken disciples
aptly summarizes the story of Easter:
· Suffering.
· Death.
· Resurrection.
· New Life.
It also reveals an important truth about our lives:
Death is a part of our story.
Even though we want Easter to be pastels and chocolates,
There is a process that is very much not pastels and chocolates.
To be a follower of Jesus requires things like:
A death.
Again, death is a part of our story.
It's just not the end of our story.
It actually is the beginning of our story.
It is clean slate.
A new day.
A fresh start.
It is an "out with the old and in with the new" kinda thing.
A do over.
And to this,
we should all say, "Amen!"
And, with thankful hearts,
Humbly acknowledge the greatness of God for His love for us
and the plan to make us whole.
To show us more love than we deserve,
that we might give to others,
more love than they deserve.

IT Security Audit
IT security audits include all activities that survey and evaluate the current security level of an audit target such as your system or application, in order to specify measures to improve it. In this way, the individual areas of the CYBERBELT© – penetration tests, code reviews and Red Team Operation audits – can be mapped in an IT security audit according to the audit objective and your requirements. The IT civil engineer's report – authorised and sworn by the state – contains the results from the various activities, as prepared by our IT specialists for you.
Social Hacking – Red Team Operation
This method utilises "human" vulnerability to penetrate your computer system or network. The Red Team of ZTP.digital performs targeted cyberattacks and e-espionage activities, based on a coordinated scenario between the executive management and the works council, in order to detect security vulnerabilities in your systems before they can be discovered by unauthorised individuals. The result consists of a vulnerability report including a catalogue of measures with all identified risks for optimising IT security within your company.
During the course of a penetration test, a cyberattack on your systems is simulated in order to analyse your application system for security vulnerabilities. To ensure that the simulated cyberattacks are performed realistically, ZTP's white hackers have no background information concerning the application but rely solely on the information they can find ("black box auditing"). If a security vulnerability is discovered it is analysed in detail, penetrated, verified and documented in a test report. This allows you to identify where action is required, thus enabling you to more efficiently assess occurrence scenarios so that you can set your priorities more sensibly.
With the code review the entire source code of your application, in the context of an audit, is subjected to inspection. This quality assurance measure is used to proofread your application during or after development to identify possible errors, simplifications or test cases. Using innovative tools from market-leading software developers, an automated and static analysis of source code is performed in which the program properties of your application are checked and all data flows are traced ("white box auditing"), with the aim of extensively documenting any anomalies and vulnerabilities. The qualified employees of ZTP.digital evaluate these results, and you receive a written recommendation for the elimination of security flaws in the form of an IT expert opinion.

"It will help the Czech economy a lot", says economist on new Brexit deal
After nearly five years of negotiations, Britain and the European Union have reached an agreement on trade relations after Brexit. The announcement came on Christmas Eve, the traditional day when Czechs give each other presents. But was it a welcome gift for Czech businesses? I asked Lukáš Kovanda, the chief analyst at Trinity Bank, what he thinks of the Brexit deal.
"I think it is great news for the Czech Republic, as well as for other EU member states and Britain itself. After nearly five years of uncertainty, which was quite damaging for international trade in Europe as well as worldwide, this is good news. It will help the Czech economy a lot, because we are very dependent on exports and Britain is one of the key export partners of the Czech economy outside of our immediate neighbours.
"We have particularly strong trade relations with Germany, Poland and Slovakia. The United Kingdom then follows, intermittently shifting between the fourth and fifth largest export partner of the Czech Republic with France. It is good news and it will help our economy a lot to have this agreement."
There were several haggling points between the two parties before the agreement was reached, the issue of fishing waters being perhaps the best known. Are there any key takeaways for Czech business from this deal and do you think that any sectors are likely to be more affected than others?
"You are right that it is quite premature now to assess the whole agreement. It is quite difficult to foresee what will come in the next months and years. It will be a challenging time and our exporters will certainly have to adapt to the new reality of Britain being outside the European Union. That said, it will be much easier with this agreement than without one.
"We should be aware that the EU Parliament or one of its member states' national parliaments could make some provisions that would make it harder to pass the agreement. However, I think it is much more advantageous for both sides to have a deal rather than not."
On that note of the deal having to be approved by EU member states, I will just mention that Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said his country will do everything to get it passed. As an economist, have you had any chance to observe how the deal has been welcomed by Czech business representatives?
"The deal was announced just on Christmas Eve, so there have not yet been many opportunities to communicate with Czech businesses. However, I am sure that 99 percent of them will welcome this agreement, because after nearly five years of uncertainty this is a positive statement from their point of view.
"They were quite nervous before it was announced. They were expecting an agreement to come sooner. This deal has come a little bit late, but it is still good that it was reached. Had it come to no deal our exports would probably have shrunk by CZK 40 billion, so it is very helpful, especially in the challenging times we are in now, to have this deal."
"Czech entrepreneurs and firms know that it will be more difficult for them to be successful in Britain after Brexit, even with this agreement. Nevertheless, for our car manufacturers, toy exporters and machinery producers it is very important to have zero tariffs and zero quotas, which is a major component of this deal."

The James Museum Markets It's Commercial Space For Lease
With construction of The James Museum currently underway in downtown St. Petersburg, retail and office partners, The Sembler Company and Echelon Real Estate Services (ERES), are beginning to market adjacent retail and office space for lease.
The James Museum will be the new, permanent home of 400-500 premier works of art selected from
the more than 3,000 pieces acquired over the years by Tom and Mary James. The 80,000 square foot museum will include over 30,000 square feet of gallery space; a 2,500 square foot, 2-story indoor sculpture court with an indoor waterfall; a Native American jewelry collection; a 120 seat theater; a 6,000 square foot museum event space, which will support both large events and breakout sessions; a significant catering kitchen; a museum store, café and high-end restaurant; as well as all of the spaces required to support and operate a 21st century museum of this scale.
In addition to the museum space, the development of The James Museum building will include almost 35,000 square feet of leasable space, owned by James R.E., situated on the East and West sides of the project, which will activate both of those corners along Central Avenue. The Sembler Company is leasing the ground floor retail units and ERES is leasing the Class A Office space located on the second floor.
Sembler's Senior Vice President of Leasing, Steve Althoff, remarked on The James Museum location, "It is perfectly situated for retailers who could benefit from not only the 21,000 employees working within a 1-mile radius, but also the attraction of the art collection itself. Alongside the ONE St. Petersburg project, the museum opening will create a footfall gateway between Beach Drive and Central Avenue for many retailers".
ERES is the exclusive agent leasing 20,769 square feet of Class A Office space located on the second floor of the building's east side. Mike Talmadge, Executive Vice President of ERES, is currently interviewing prospective office tenants. "The James Museum building is a strategic location in the center of downtown St. Petersburg with close proximity to I-275 and a growing workforce. High-end Class A tenant finish build-out, together with generous on-site parking will be a huge draw for many companies," Talmadge said.
Occupancy of the retail and office space is anticipated to coincide with the official opening of the
James Museum in early 2018.
For more information on retail leasing, contact The Sembler Company at (727) 384-6000 or visit www.sembler.com. Office leasing information is available through ERES at (727) 214-4650 or by visiting www.eresproperties.com. As additional elements and news of the museum are announced: from traveling exhibitions to educational programs, from membership opportunities to donor naming opportunities, news will be posted on the website: www.thejamesmuseum.org.

Obama defends Affordable Care Act on its 7th anniversary as Trumpcare vote looms
Former President Barack Obama released a statement on Thursday morning, defending his signature Affordable Care Act legislation as it faces repeal on its 7th anniversary.
"It was a long battle, carried out in Congressional hearings and in the public square for more than a year," Obama said. "But ultimately, after a century of talk, decades of trying, and a year of bipartisan debate, our generation was the one that succeeded. We finally declared that in America, health care is not a privilege for a few, but a right for everybody."
The Obamas post-presidency
The House is expected to vote on Thursday, deciding if Obamacare should be repealed and ultimately replaced by the American Health Care Act -- a bill created by House Republican leaders.
Obama urged Republicans to work with Democrats to make the necessary changes, saying, "I've always said we should build on this law, just as Americans of both parties worked to improve Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid over the years."
SEE ALSO: Illinois lawmakers decline to declare official Barack Obama day
Former Vice President Joe Biden traveled to Washington D.C. on Wednesday, rallying at the Capitol to keep the Affordable Care Act in place.
"To me, what the ACA was all about ... it means an awful lot of people that I grew up with are able to go to bed now and not stare at the ceiling and wonder what happens if my wife develops breast cancer or I get a heart attack," Biden said. "This bill is about peace of mind."
Read Obama's full statement on Obamacare below:
When I took office, millions of Americans were locked out of our health care system. So, just as leaders in both parties had tried to do since the days of Teddy Roosevelt, we took up the cause of health reform. It was a long battle, carried out in Congressional hearings and in the public square for more than a year. But ultimately, after a century of talk, decades of trying, and a year of bipartisan debate, our generation was the one that succeeded. We finally declared that in America, health care is not a privilege for a few, but a right for everybody.
The result was the Affordable Care Act, which I signed into law seven years ago today. Thanks to this law, more than twenty million Americans have gained the security and peace of mind of health insurance. Thanks to this law, more than ninety percent of Americans are insured – the highest rate in our history. Thanks to this law, the days when women could be charged more than men and Americans with pre-existing conditions could be denied coverage altogether are relics of the past. Seniors have bigger discounts on their prescription drugs. Young people can stay on their parents' plans until they turn 26 years old. And Americans who already had insurance received an upgrade as well – from free preventive care, like mammograms and vaccines, to improvements in the quality of care in hospitals that has averted nearly 100,000 deaths so far.
All of that is thanks to the Affordable Care Act. And all the while, since the law passed, the pace of health care inflation has slowed dramatically. Prices are still rising, just as they have every year for decades – but under this law, they've been rising at the slowest rate in fifty years. Families who get coverage through their employer are paying, on average, thousands of dollars less per year than if costs kept rising as fast as they were before the law. And reality continues to discredit the false claim that this law is in a "death spiral," because while it's true that some premiums have risen, the vast majority of Marketplace enrollees have experienced no average premium hike at all. And so long as the law is properly administered, this market will remain stable. Likewise, this law is no "job-killer," because America's businesses went on a record-breaking streak of job growth in the seven years since I signed it.
So the reality is clear: America is stronger because of the Affordable Care Act. There will always be work to do to reduce costs, stabilize markets, improve quality, and help the millions of Americans who remain uninsured in states that have so far refused to expand Medicaid. I've always said we should build on this law, just as Americans of both parties worked to improve Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid over the years. So if Republicans are serious about lowering costs while expanding coverage to those who need it, and if they're prepared to work with Democrats and objective evaluators in finding solutions that accomplish those goals – that's something we all should welcome. But we should start from the baseline that any changes will make our health care system better, not worse for hardworking Americans. That should always be our priority.
The Affordable Care Act is law only because millions of Americans mobilized, and organized, and decided that this fight was about more than health care – it was about the character of our country. It was about whether the wealthiest nation on Earth would make sure that neither illness nor twist of fate would rob us of everything we've worked so hard to build. It was about whether we look out for one another, as neighbors, and fellow citizens, who care about each other's success. This fight is still about all that today. And Americans who love their country still have the power to change it.

Event Next Week: All That You Ever Wanted To Know About Psychedelic Patents and IP
Psilocybin Alpha Editor-at-Large Graham Pechenik appears alongside Chris Byrnes and Azadeh Momenghalibaf to answer your questions about psychedelic patents and IP, in an event hosted by Chacruna.
Azadeh Momenghalibaf spoke at Horizons NYC in December on the topic of patents in a talk titled Public Health and Psychedelic Medicine. Pechenik also spoke on patents earlier in the Saturday session. Both talks sparked a great deal of conversation and healthy debate about the role of IP in the psychedelics space.
Join a discussion and ask-me-anything (AMA) forum with IP attorneys Graham Pechenik and Chris Byrnes. The discussion will address the legal and economic rationales for the existence of different types of IP, provide an overview of innovative uses of IP in the psychedelics market, and contemplate the ways in which web3 technology can be used to create a psychedelic IP commons. Along the way, we'll invite questions from attendees and endeavor to answer all that you ever wanted to know about psychedelic patents and IP.

Global Coalition to Reschedule Psilocybin Emerges
A new global coalition announced a new campaign on Tuesday to get psilocybin mushrooms internationally rescheduled.
As the psychedelics reform movement continues to expand domestically in the U.S., the International Therapeutic Psilocybin Rescheduling Initiative (ITPRI) is seeking a worldwide policy change in order to facilitate research into the therapeutic potential of the substance.
Partners of the coalition include the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Beckley Foundation, Mind Medicine Australia, Drug Science and Open Foundation.
The initiative focuses on international drug scheduling under the United Nations' 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, which currently places psilocybin in the most tightly restricted, Schedule I category, which is supposed to be reserved for drugs that constitute "an especially serious risk" and have "limited" therapeutic uses.
Advocates say that psilocybin fits neither of those criteria.
Learn more about the Initiative via the ITPRI website.
Now Live: Psychedelic Research and Clinical Trials in 2021
The second section of our Year in Review, Psychedelic Research and Clinical Trials in 2021, is now available to read.
At around 10,000 words, it's the lengthiest section by far: testament to the quantity and quality of psychedelic research and trials conducted this year.
The resurgence of research into psychedelics has continued to thrive over the past year. Dozens of trials and hundreds of studies have been published in 2021, expanding the depth and scope of scientific inquiry in this flourishing space.
If published findings from this past year are a reliable indicator of what is to come, these investigations will foreseeably expand our fundamental understanding of psychedelics and point to new, promising avenues of exploration.
However, we must also appreciate the methodological challenges inherent in psychedelic research, as well as the broader fields within which such research is nested.
It's worth reminding ourselves of the lengthy timescales involved in drug development, with clinical trials regularly taking in excess of six years to complete. As such, it's worth looking at studies announced and approved in 2021, and considering when we may expect to see data readouts from such work.
Just as the funding environment for psychedelic research has heated up significantly in recent years, regulators are also demonstrating an increasingly warm attitude to such work. Toward the end of this section we review some key regulatory developments in 2021, and profile a handful of new psychedelics research centres.
As you will see as you leaf through this report, psychedelic research is showing no signs of slowing. One of the most prolific psychedelics researchers, Robin Carhart-Harris, predicts "more of the same" in 2022, and data confirms that we're witnessing the most productive period of psychedelic research (at least that which is conducted in recognised institutions).

I was very grateful for the opportunity to visit the Cosgrove Care summer play scheme today, in the Young Enterprise Scotland garden, which was looking glorious in the sunshine.
The young people at the play scheme were having a whale of a time and the excellent staff support was very much in evidence, as was the partnership working which Cosgrove are very focussed on.
Their work with the team at Young Enterprise Scotland is making possible service provision in new ways at this difficult time. That is making a significant difference to many families.
It was very interesting to also see the work which Young Enterprise Scotland is doing to support young people and give them the tools to move forward to positive destinations.
Our local community benefits a great deal from the imaginative and focussed work of both these organisations.

PLA based film may be effective antimicrobial
The scientists said the objectives of their study, which was published in the International Journal of Food Science and Technology, was to evaluate the potential use of PLA/pectin and nisin composite film in antimicrobial food packaging.
According to the ARS team, bacteria like Listeria are a concern in food with extended shelf life because they tolerate salt, pH changes, inadequate thermal pasteurisation and refrigerated temperatures.
Material selection
The team explained that they selected PLA (purchased from Cargill Dow) as the packaging material in their study due to the fact that it can be derived from renewable resources, coupled with the growing interest in the future replacement of fossil fuel-derived polymers with alternatives.
Pectin, said the ARS team, is a water soluble hygroscopic polymer, and has been used as a thickening, coating and encapsulating material; the scientists claim that relatively few studies have reported on the use of pectin, alone or in combination with PLA as a base packaging material and as a carrier for nisin for antimicrobial food packaging.
The pectin used here was purchased from Danisco, as was the nisin used in the project.
Nisin was employed, said the researchers, as it is increasingly used in a variety of foods including dairy, eggs, vegetables, meat, fish, beverages and cereal-based products to inhibit growth of foodborne pathogens including L. monocytogenes; it is non-toxic, heat stable and does not contribute to off-flavours, said the team.
The scientists added that they chose brain heart infusion (BHI), orange juice and liquid egg white as the foods for the study as they serve as representatives for neutral, high acid and low acid foods respectively.
While no outbreaks involving L. monocytogenes in fruit juices have been reported, continued the ARS team, the fact that this pathogen may survive well beyond the normal shelf-life of nonsterile acidic fruit juices suggests that these products are potential vehicles of infection.
The film, found the researchers, was effective in reducing L. monocytogenes by 2.1, 4.5 and 3.7 log units mL-1 in the BHI, as well as in the orange juice and liquid egg after 48 hours at 24°C.
The ARS scientists concluded that this composite film has great potential to reduce post-process growth of food pathogens, and they added that they will further explore the use of nisin containing films as packaging materials with antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes for solid foods such as meat products.

Domestic Abuse Victim Raped By Police Officer After Trying To Make Report
A Karoi-based police officer who turned from protector into abuser has been arrested after he allegedly raped a domestic abuse victim who had come to report a case.
50-year-old Constable Shadreck Muzanechita who is stationed at Karoi Urban Police Station has been arrested for the rape of a 30-year-old woman.
The police officer appeared before Karoi magistrate Godwillis Mavenge facing two counts of rape and was released on bail of $10 000. He was remanded out of custody to June 24, 2021.
H-Metro reports that according to the state's case, the police officer perpetrated the abuse on 27 May 2021, when the woman came to file a report of domestic abuse by her husband.
Muzanechita is reported to have not recorded the case in the charge office books. He, however, accompanied the woman to her residence intending to arrest her husband.
When they failed to find the husband at home, Muzanechita is alleged to have insisted that the woman should leave her 18-month-old breastfeeding child behind and accompany him to the nearest beerhalls in order to identify her husband. The woman initially resisted but eventually complied following his incessant demands.
After failing to find the woman's husband at the beerhall, Muzanechita proposed love to the woman on their way back. He also asked for some se_xual favours.
The woman responded with a resounding no and refused to entertain his immoral requests. The police officer then allegedly dragged her into a bushy area and forced himself on her.
The woman begged him not to violate her and told him that she would infect him with diseases because of her health status. Muzanechita, who seems to have prepared for such an eventuality, said that he was not bothered as he had his own condoms ready.
He then raped the victim once while using a condom. But he was not done. The police officer then raped the woman again, but did not use protection on the second encounter.
Muzanechita then accompanied the victim back to her home since she was afraid that her husband may be back. The next morning, the woman narrated her ordeal to her co-tenant who advised her to make a police report.

One month to the day after the heralded IP storage data transmission project took flight, the gaggle of firms behind the Promontory
Project said Wednesday that they have managed to transmit data at a peak throughput of 215 megabytes-per-second (mbps) and a
sustained throughput of over 200mbps between Sunnyvale, Calif., and Newark, N.J.
Using the using the Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP), the project members, which include Dell Computer Corp.,
Hitachi Data Systems (HDS),
Nishan Systems, QLogic
and Qwest Communications
International Inc., completed the transcontinental exchange over a single gigabit Ethernet port on a pair of IP
routers connected by OC-48 (2.5Gbps) wireless area network (WAN) links.
Simply, this is extremely fast. Moreover, the project members also said also they managed to successfully mirror a terabyte of data
coast to coast, proof that online remote replication is possible vis-à-vis IP storage.
The IP Storage protocol, Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP), is used to integrate Fibre Channel end systems with IP networks and
the firms behind Promontory are providing the servers, Fibre Channel host bus adapters, Fibre Channel storage devices and IP Storage
switches. IP Storage switches provide the wire-speed conversion between Fibre Channel and IP.
The first phase of the Promontory Project
demonstrated that multiple ports on a storage switch could process IP storage data from Fibre Channel and iSCSI end systems at a rate sufficient to saturate the
OC-48 channels on an OC-192 (10Gbps) coast-to-coast WAN link.
But Wednesday's second phase is more trying. It demonstrated how a pair of storage switches, linked by a single transcontinental
full-duplex gigabit Ethernet connection, may convert between Fibre Channel and native IP Storage data at wire speed (215Mbps),
simultaneously in both directions.
"When we submitted iFCP to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), we knew that it would support sustained wire-speed throughput
across standard IP networks," said Franco Travostino, IETF technical coordinator for iFCP. "Today's announcement showcases a
real-world demonstration of iFCP's capabilities over extraordinary distances."
While the Promontory Project's is, overall, good news for the industry, the firms involved in its infancy stand to benefit. For
instance, in HDS's case, the high-end storage provider now has evidence that its Freedom Storage Lightning 9900 server may transfer
data at high speed over IP networks.
And Dell, a Johnny-come-lately to enterprise storage compared to Compaq Computer Corp. and EMC Corp.,
has included high-speed data switches in its software and peripherals business.

General News of Friday, 28 May 2021

Chief Justice Kwasi Anin Yeboah has called on lawyers to remember that the mark of a good lawyer is not one who is always winning his cases in court.
He said, their job is primarily to solve problems and provide solutions for their clients and organizations without necessarily resorting to litigation.
The CJ made this known at a mini call to the BAR of some 32 new lawyers who have successfully completed their legal education.
"As you commence your pupilage remember that there's hardly any experienced accomplished successful senior lawyer who did not work long and hard to get the current position," the CJ noted.
According to him, "If you are going to be learning from them then be willing to exhibit such meritorious quality. Demonstrate a strong work ethic and be ready to make that extra effort. The life of a lawyer may look glamorous but requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice."
While advising them, the CJ said "Learn to think outside the box because a great lawyer is one who is creative and able to think of reasonable solutions when problems and unique situations arise."
"Your reputation for meticulous honesty is vital and you must resolve to be honest at all times. Just know that the disciplinary committee and the general legal counsel will not close their eyes to any infractions on your part in the pursuit of your careers.
He said, "you have today become members of a client-centred public profession and must ensure that at all times you work in the interest of your clients, the public good and the country at large."
The event was also graced by Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, the National President of the Ghana Bar Association Anthony Forson Jnr and some justices of the Supreme Court.

OTTUMWA, I.A., - Larry Miller's wish was to take a ride in the old car he purchased "down south" two years ago — a 1972 Plymouth Duster. Last week Larry's brother, Verlin Miller, pulled into Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Larry's 1972 Plymouth Duster.
With a huge smile, Larry climbed into the car one last time. With blue skies and a warm spring breeze in their face, Verlin drove his brother Larry through town and then to see Lake Wapello. Upon returning, Larry said the best part of the day was just getting to sit in his car again.
"Live life like you will die tomorrow," he said. "Be ready, because we don't know when our time to go will come."

I must be getting old since New Year's Eve seems to come and go in the last few years with me, laying in bed or sleeping. My wife, son and I did go to a family friend's house last night for festivities, but we didn't even make it until the the stroke of midnight. If not for the fact I was rocking out with karaoke machine and not doing particularly well singing the Sex Pistols we would have been home before 11:00pm.
Nonetheless, hanging out with good friends with the kids in a safe environment was just as enjoyable as to being out at a NYE party, lit and knowing you won't remember who you kissed at midnight. If I recall I believe I rolled over in bed last night and kissed my wife. See, shows you how much I remember and I had but a single beer and one scotch and water.
So now that 2012 is here I am looking forward to what the year brings. I don't have any radical changes to set in motion. If you read my post from yesterday I am looking forward to continuing to see and feel success from the whole-plant diet I have been on since October, 2011. I did make some headway around the Bowflex Revolution in anticipation of starting my 30 minute workout.
Christmas is now officially over as I spent the better part of 2 hours putting away decorations, taking down the fake tree and removing the lights and items from the front yard. Not sure, but I can't remember any prior year this was done so soon. So hello 2012, looking forward to a great year!

As the weather warms and we finally enter into summer, more and more women opt for comfortable, breezy dresses in order to stay cool. A pretty floral print dress will never go out of style, and will accentuate your femininity while paying homage to history and the beauty of the natural world.
Floral print dates back to the days of the ancient Eastern world. Because trade with Asia was so difficult, patterned fabrics were a major status symbol in Europe. As demand rose, European merchants learned how to make similar fabrics at a fraction of the price. These early European styles of printed fabrics were extremely stylized, often featuring designs of fruit or various kinds of ivy. The types of flowers in European floral design were different from their Asian predecessors, but still showed signs of Eastern influence.
After a while, floral prints had gone from highly in demand to extremely common. Floral print dresses became cheaper, everyday outfits. Most floral prints were found in work dresses, aprons, nightgowns, or fabric linings. However, in the 1920s, as leisure and outdoor activities became more popular, casual floral beachwear became available. Soon the style migrated to include fashionable day or evening dresses for women of all social standings.
Since then, floral print has never quite gone out of style. Although you could still find nightgowns or swimsuits in floral prints, if you are looking for something more dressy you could easily find a floral print in that style. Wrap dresses, dressy skirts, and even ball gowns could be found in floral fabric.

ReMix:Mega Man 2 "The Quick and the Blue" 4:03
By The Megas
Arranging the music of one song...
"Quick Man Stage"
Primary Game: Mega Man 2 (Capcom , 1988, NES), music by Manami Matsumae, Takashi TateishiPosted 2010-09-06, evaluated by djpretzel
More Megas? Hell yes. We played 'Monsteropolis' as folks were shuffling in to our recent PAX panel (thanks all who showed up, including AE with his misinterpreted hand gestures), and I for one have certainly been looking forward to posting something else from them ever since. We get our chance, as Greg writes:
"Hey guys - we've been wanting to submit another song to OC ReMix for a while now, and I think this is a good one to submit We just released an acoustic remix of our Get Equipped album, entitled Get Acoustic. In addition to the acoustic instrumentation, we added synth orchestral elements. The song we're submitting is The Quick and the Blue/Quickman - hope you guys enjoy!"
Spoiler: We did. Not all albums/bands can successfully rock the acoustic transition, although some (10,000 Maniacs' MTV Unplugged comes to mind) actually sound better. The Megas can certainly walk both sides of the street, as this track proves; besides a perfect title that reminds me of Gene Hackman's best performance as a villain, this acoustic rendition of their 'Quickman' arrangement places the vocals/lyrics center stage. That might be a very dangerous and/or negative thing, if this band weren't all about writing awesome, contextual, well-constructed stanzas of personified lyrical Mega Man glory. Some people don't really care or pay attention to lyrics, but I certainly do, and I dig what these guys are cooking up - in my opinion it's a big part of what allowed a successful transition to acoustic. The synth/orchestral elements aren't as strong and pronounced as they could be - I would have liked a more prominent, articulate cello part for this arrangement, in particular - but that's a smallish nitpick to an enjoyable, creative cut off an enjoyable, creative album. Adjective recycling FTW.
If for some reason The Megas have escaped your attentions or you're not much into rock/metal and prefer acoustic, this should be an excellent introduction to their stuff. You can get the full physical album + other albums & merch at their online store (their newest EP, Sparked a War, includes their first take on Mega Man 3), or check out their Bandcamp site for lossless downloadable versions. Great stuff from a visionary, conceptual group that makes it all somehow work, perfectly, through their music & words.

The moment when you remember there was a really awesome remix somewhere on OCRemix and after wading through hundreds (or tens) of songs because you can't remember the name or the original song, then you find it and listen to it with headphones and tears rolls down your eyes to this emotionally filled story.
This is one of the many remixes that pop into my head from time to time, and it's a really special one.
on 2015-12-02 04:32:40
Can I just start by saying how much I love this song? I mean it's so tightly arranged, performed and produced that it's easy to love the song just on those merits, but where this remix really shines is the story. It's rare to have the narrative match the arrangement so perfectly... I genuinely feel like I'm not only listening to a great piece of music, but a story of epic proportions that bring Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns to mind, especially the final duels and what leads up to them. You simply can't not get emotionally invested.
And since people in this thread have taken a habit of picking a favorite line from the song... Well, this one for me embodies the final moments of a warrior who knows that eventually, someone will come who is stronger - or in this case, faster - than he is, and accepting that inevitable fate with dignity.
My circuits slow
I'm not scared anymore
I see the faces of my brothers that have fallen before
on 2015-12-02 03:12:25
Incredibly catchy song. I love such soulful songs a lot - and this one in particular is a great example of how to create a track with lyrics that doesn't cause much hate (I belive it's true ). "My circuits slow..." part is probably the best here. Definitely a higlight of GA.
on 2014-10-03 15:37:26
Just discovered this piece, and I'm really digging it! Mostly due to the fantastic lyrics. Sympathy for a sub-boss - who'd have thought it?
on 2012-09-15 19:25:34
This one surprised me because it was one of those songs that really told the freakin' story and does it well. That's what was so interesting to me, because usually it's the music that I look to (or listen to, rather) first, then the lyrics. But with this one, it was the opposite. The lyrics painted the picture of the battle perfectly, and the music just sorta matched the tone. Brilliant. I really loved that about this ReMix. Kinda interesting that the lyrics kinda fell out of line as Quickman died. That was cleaver as hell. The Megas picks up a decisive musical win here and this is definitely going in my recommended list.
on 2011-02-13 16:01:05
This song is great- it has some of the best lyric writing I've heard on this site. Awesome job, I love it!
on 2010-12-26 18:43:08
Hee-hee, I agree with Kizyr and DarkSim; my favorite lyrics are
My circuits slowI'm not scared anymore
This is the moment that we have been created for
for also their reasons about how it deals with destiny. But what I like here is how Quick Man is also rising to meet his destiny (the "not scared anymore" part and how it's repeated mantra like).
There's also just a bunch of little things in the narrative painted here that I like too, such as how the battle between Mega Man and Quick Man is given as much time as the rest of the narrative else even though such an actual battle would only last seconds, if that makes sense.
This is probably my favorite track from The Megas; I still like the non-acoustic version better though because it just reaches higher levels of tension that this one doesn't. Still, this is a really good version, and I hope that this does get more people interested in The Megas like Annihilation of Monsteropolis did for me.
on 2010-12-16 22:07:22
I found the lyrics of this arrangement to be my favorite aspect of this mix. I liked how Quickman was portrayed as the hero defending his town from the outsider Megaman; it's not the approach many would consider. The instrumentation added to the Western theme of the song nicely. Another win for The Megas.
on 2010-12-16 16:39:25
Errr woops, so you did! My mistake, I reviewed a lot of stuff yesterday and must have missed it.
on 2010-12-16 15:21:03
A great line no-one's mentioned yet - your choice of the word "created" here is a stroke of genius. It implies a destiny; an inevitability about the situation that no matter how hard he tries, the Quick Man will never win, so his efforts are in vain. We know this, he knows this, yet he still tries, and we empathise with him.
...I quoted those exact same lines in the previous page as my favorite lyrics in the entire piece.
For the exact same reasons, no less. That's why this is my favorite that The Megas have done--though the one based on the level select theme approaches it. I could get all Asimov on an interpretation of the lyrics here, too, based around just those three lines--something about the implicit analogy between robots' programming and humans' destiny/fate gets to the sci-fi fan in me. KF
on 2010-12-16 01:51:04
I actually purchased the entire album from iTunes a while back, but this is still my favorite track from it. For me, the lyrics invoke the theme of a wild west showdown at high noon. The brass helps with that as well. Death does wear blue, and this song is great. Not exactly epic, but close to it.
on 2010-12-15 10:43:18
This mix took me by surprise - I really didn't expect to be moved by the lyrical content of a game remix, but the effort put in and the vocal harmonies just get me every time. I'm completely enraptured by the storytelling and desperation of the Quick Man, the song's tragic hero. I've never even played a Mega Man game, but the song's so well written I don't have to have done, and that's got to speak volumes. I also barely notice the instrumentation, but upon closer listen I love the acoustic bass.
I definitely hear the Killers reference in there, which is probably my only criticism, as it sort of "breaks the 4th wall" in the storytelling as my brain associates it with Mr Brightside, and I'm momentarily distracted.

Thankfully, next on my OCR playlist is a halc/ben briggs mix to cheer me up again after this song's totally swept me off to a distant emotional plane. Clever, compelling stuff.
on 2010-09-29 16:29:27
I didn't know what to expect when I saw it was an acoustic mix, but this definitely gave me chills as I listened to it. One of the only things I didn't like was the end narrative; I mean, I enjoyed the epilogue of the story, but my own personal preference would be to have it sung lyrically, like the rest of it, like in a more minor key or something. But really and truly, that's all I took exception to, everything else was pretty darn awesome. I'm definitely checking out The Megas, I really enjoyed this concept.
on 2010-09-20 14:28:14
Guitars and vocals are nice, but what really makes this mix stand out are the lyrics. Damn, are they awesome. The way the story of Quickman and Megaman is told, the slow part around 3:00, the final showdown...I'm usually rather hesitant to use the word "epic", especially on the internet, but in this case, I don't have any problem doing so.
Stellar work, guys.
on 2010-09-15 03:06:46
I'm normally far too lazy to post on here but you guys really deserve some praise on this one. I must admit that at first I wasn't really into the song because I normally prefer the likes of Halc, PrototypeRaptor, chthonic, and bLiNd. But after listening to the lyrics the whole way through I was completely hooked.
The acoustic western feel just goes SO well with the song and it's lyrics it's nuts. And the lyrics themselves just blow me away. It makes me feel for the Quick Man's plight and I can so easily picture the story you're trying to tell.
"My circuits slow. What they said is a lie. The shots are heard and the bullets scream death as they fly."
"I'm not scared anymore. I join the ranks of my brothers that have fallen before." - TRULY epic job guys.
*Edit* I checked out your album and it was alright. To me though, it just seems that this song has a certain polish to it that some of your other tracks lack. I'd easily spend $20+ on an album with more tracks like this and LOVE it!

They say he appeared in a doorway
Boomerangs at his sides.
The fate that he would defy...
A mega man is coming to die!
Wait now, there's too much at stake now
There he goes...
He looked to the distance and cried,
"The man in blue has arrived!"
Quick on the draw
In this town, I am the law.
Is what they say true?
Does death wear blue?
Can he fall?
It was then
That the crowd saw the quick man.
He knew that he couldn't tell them
He was the quickest of all...
Would this be the day that he falls?
Wait now, there's too much at stake now
A cold wind blows...
He looked at the crowd and he cried,
"The moment of truth has arrived!"
Quick on the draw
In this town, I am the law.
Is what they say true?
Does death wear blue?
Can he fall?
My circuits slow
I'm not scared anymore
I see the faces of my brothers that have fallen before
My circuits slow
I'm not scared anymore
Reach for my weapon and in turn you're reaching for yours
My circuits slow
What they said is a lie
The shots are heard and the bullets scream death as they fly
My circuits slow
I'm not scared anymore
This is the moment that we have been created for
My circuits slow
My moment has come
Your speed means nothing if it's death that you're running from
My circuits slow
I'm not scared anymore
I join the ranks of my brothers that have fallen before
You're too quick on the draw...
Burn this town - there is no law.
What they say's true -
Death does wear blue.
He can't fall...

Meet the Schmidt family
ELEVATE YOUR LIFE… Naturally.
Faith-driven family opens their hearts to others
Meet Patrick, Sandy, Jeremiah, Jonathon, Charlotte and Catherine Schmidt.
"As believers, our hope is in Jesus and from what we deduce, nothing we can accumulate here on Earth is going with us when we spend all of eternity with Him!" said Patrick. "As Americans, we struggle against the popular desire for things and the temptation to put things and agendas before people. I hope we continue to strive to 'keep' that which matters and 'give' that which does not."
And the family's involvement with foster care is a testament to the couple's faith.
"We are Marathon County foster parents." said Patrick. "We began our leap into foster care in 2014 and have had two long-term placements and many many respite kiddos. We have loved families from hard places and walked through excruciating and also joyful circumstances together."
"Our hope is to show them the love of Jesus, who accepts humble hearts as they are." said Sandy. "It has been the hardest, most rewarding experience of our lives!"
Patrick is a Foster Parent Champion for Marathon County. In this role he is responsible for helping the county find new foster families. The rate of methamphetamine usage has sky-rocketed in the past five years. As a result, the number of children placed in out-of-home care has risen dramatically. The county is in dire need of additional foster families to provide safe, loving homes to these children.
Plan your move to the Greater Wausau Region: Jobs | Housing | Schools
"If you're reading this and don't think you could ever become a foster parent, you're probably feeling the same way every foster family feels." said Patrick. "It's a big commitment. If you'd like to learn more, even if you're interested in doing short-term care of a child for a day or two, please email firstname.lastname@example.com request more information. If you belong to a church and would like Patrick to do a foster care awareness presentation, please include that in your email to Sara."
Both Patrick and Sandy, 39, graduated from Judson University in Illinois. Patrick graduated with a Bachelor's degree in business, while Sandy earned a Bachelor's degree in education. Their first encounter at college was a rough one.
"We met at Judson University in the freshman dorm." said Patrick.
"It was actually a pretty horrible first meeting!" said Sandy. "From the start we didn't like each other."
"Then two years later, Patrick became a Christian and his life drastically changed. We had a class together during our senior year. He started to pick me up so I didn't have to walk in the snow." said Sandy. "He did more than pick me up ... we were married a year later!"
The couple married on June 13, 2003, making Friday the 13ths lucky for the Schmidts.

From there, Patrick began working at Aerotek, followed by a position in 2006 at Rasmussen College where he continues to work as the Director of Admissions at the Wausau campus. The change in employment resulted in a move from Jacksonville, Florida to Rockford, Illinois. When the Wausau campus opened in 2009, Patrick was asked to move to central Wisconsin to open it.
"I had never heard of Wausau before and thought it might be in Canada!" said Sandy. "We were glad to learn it was only three hours away from Chicagoland where we both grew up."
Sandy began her career as a teacher at private schools in Florida as a high school English teacher. She went on to get her Master's degree from University of Phoenix and fell in love with teaching younger kids as well as implementing reading interventions and strategies. In Illinois, she taught first to third grade at a public school and realized that was her passion.
Sandy loves to read and write when there is time. Her favorite recent read is "The Gospel Comes with a Housekey" by Rosaria Butterfield.
"It is a fascinating life story all about community and giving of oneself for the good of others." said Sandy. "A person no matter their faith background would be challenged by Rosaria's example of living."
Sandy also loves teaching women at her church. Last year, she picked up a very flexible, very part-time gig with VIPKID teaching Chinese kids English from the comfort of her laptop and pajama pants. It was a perfect fit because the teaching can happen around the family schedule and when the kids are sleeping.
We both are very involved at Wausau Alliance Church. Patrick helps with our Imago Dei ministry which provides a buddy for kids who have special needs. He has also brought a ministry called 'Welcomed' to our church and surrounding churches. This program provides support to foster families through respite and meals.
Patrick does his grocery shopping in nature. He hunts, fishes and forages to provide healthy food for his family of six or more. Patrick writes about his hunting experiences and has been published in Bowhunter magazine. He's also an avid Bears fan and proudly wears his tattered, Mike Ditka autographed polo on game days.
Jeremiah, who made Sandy and Patrick parents in a very surprising way via private adoption, is a math genius, baby whisperer and the family organizer. He has everyone's comings and goings stored in his 11-year-old head and could run the house if Patrick and Sandy let him. He loves basketball, baseball and golf. Jeremiah shot a public land black bear on the edge of Marathon County last year when he was only 10-years-old.
Jonathan is the family jokester. He recently left a large hairy stuffed spider in Sandy's bathroom drawer. He is light-hearted and has the ability to shrug off offenses and go with the flow, a perfect quality for a middle child in a big family.
"He is most like his dad." said Sandy about Jon.
Jon also has an inquisitive mind for just about any topic, but particularly for spiritual matters. Sometimes the family calls him 'Father Jon' because of all of his sincere ponderings about life and God. Jon also loves to play football and can't wait for the day he can play the tackle variety.
Charlotte (Charlie) has a heart so big she could stuff every animal in the world inside. She loves to care for all animals, big and small. She went to her first horse camp last summer and writes poetry about her best horse-friend, Micky. Sometimes she cries just thinking about him. She also enjoys dancing with her mom in the living room and perfecting her cartwheel with her neighborhood buddies. Charlie would like to be a nurse or a vet when she grows up.
Catherine, enjoys flexing her muscles to show us how strong she is, like daddy. She is also a lover of dance, like her mama, and hopes someday she will 'grow up to be big.' Her pastimes include meltdowns over zipping her coat, tackling her brothers when they get home from school and cheering them on at their games. She is the only one at home with mom and is a wonderful helper with all of the foster children the family has coming and going.
The Schmidt's dog of 12 years, Gabby, died a few summers ago from Lyme disease. The family loves animals, but haven't had a lot of time to give them with all of the small people in the home. Recently, the Schmidts met a man who needed some help and who also introduced the family to the world of birds. The family has taken many of his birds as 'foster' birds in order to help him rehabilitate them and find them a permanent home.
"Our 'hood' is our family here in Wausau." said Sandy. "We haven't had biological family here for the decade we have raised four children, so we have relied on our church and our neighbors."
"Our neighborhood is the best. We have slept at each other's houses when we received the labor call at midnight. We have borrowed too many eggs and cups of flour to count. We have grazed each others gardens, brought each other meals and fixed each other's stuff! We have even had fights and made up!" added Sandy. "We love these people and couldn't be more grateful to do life with them. Plus our kids have instant friends when they walk out the door. Many life lessons have been learned on our small street."
The family lives in the Hidden Grove neighborhood which offers a few annual events. A favorite is the Halloween eat before you treat party. Families gather in the Schmidt's garage and everyone brings a dinner item. The family also enjoys block parties, fireworks, poker nights, Bible studies, Santa visits and some pretty intense kickball games.
"We moved here and actually rented our current house for a few years before buying." said Patrick. "Sandy was not sold on making this our permanent home. She is a sun-loving soul who cried a lot during the first few years of the endless winters."
Over time, her heart grew to love Wausau and now the family is so committed to their 'hood,' that they are adding on to their house.
"We have an incredible church community." said Patrick. "The people there are not only friends, but family as well. They have served us so well as we have served foster kids. They have supported us as we have added to our family, lost parents, grieved over placements and celebrated over birthdays and achievements. The church is a beautiful place to find community. It's not perfect, actually it's filled with broken people. But those broken people coming together gives us the opportunity to love, offer kindness and healing to those who need it."
Each year the family drives to Fort Myers Beach in March to escape the long winter. Sandy used to homeschool the kids when they were smaller and they would leave for a month and stay at multiple locations in Florida with family and friends.
"We called it the 'tour' and it still continues today, although we have a bit less time because our kids are in public school." said Patrick.
Each summer, Patrick and Sandy attend a conference to improve support and care for vulnerable youth. The location changes each year. Last summer it was held in New Mexico.
"We add a few days to the trip and use it as a marriage retreat. It helps us remember how much we love being together, just us … which doesn't happen often." said Patrick. "We each have so many responsibilities and it is fantastic to get away and just enjoy each other with nothing to do. In New Mexico, we ate barbecue on the side of the road, I caught wild animals, including a big rattlesnake, and we cruised to our favorite playlists in a convertible through the mountains."
"We're excited knowing that when our kids grow up and leave us, we're still going to be enjoying life together – just us!" said Sandy.
"We lived in places around the country, and Wausau is far-and-away the best community." said Sandy. "If only we could pick it up and plop it down in a warmer climate!"
"Through the everyday-ness of life, the kid squabbles, the differing opinions, our community has walked the walk, treated each other with kindness, overlooked the ugly, and found silver-linings." said Sandy. "I am proud of our 'hood.' I am glad to know we can talk through anything and come out stronger on the other end."

30 September, which is the feast day of St. Jerome, the patron saint of all translators out there, marks International Translation Day. With a native language spoken by 14 million people in the world, there are only a handful of Hungarian novels translated into English, therefore it's quite a big deal when it happens. As always, the bests do succeed; here's a partial list of them.
Embers by Sándor Márai (1942)
Born in 1900 in Kassa, Austria-Hungary, Márai lived through wars, German and Soviet oppression, revolutions, and exile: his life miserably mirrors the 20th century Hungary. First published in 1942, Embers, often referred to as the novel of friendship, was translated into French, German, and Italian in the second half of the century, while the English translation written by Carol Brown Janeway was only published in 2001.
The Door by Magda Szabó (1987)
First published in Hungary in 1987, The Door is probably the most well-known novel by popular Hungarian writer Magda Szabó. Packed with autobiographical references, the plot unfolds around the relationship of a young female writer, Magda and her elderly housekeeper, Emerence. Their complicated connection that is full of intense, often contradictory emotions and affectionate love demonstrates what matters the most and what doesn't in the lives of the 20th century people, and also, in ours today.
A Little Hungarian Pornography by Péter Esterházy (1991)
Although internationally acknowledged as one of the most prominent writers in Central Europe, it is not always easy to follow Péter Esterházy's train of thought that is often marked by quotations, paraphrases, and allusions, but it's always worth the effort. His 1984 novel, A Little Hungarian Pornography was an attack on communism: Esterházy contrasts the lack of democracy, economic chaos, and oppression with the freedom of the body in sex. The book was translated into English by the brilliant Judith Sollosy in 1997.
Captivity by György Spiró (2005)
Captivity by Hungarian dramatist, novelist and translator György Spiró focuses on the early days of Christianity that defines the western culture we live in today. The narrative follows the young Uri of Jewish origin throughout four books and four travels: Rome, Judea, Alexandria, and Rome again. On more than 800 pages, Spiró takes his readers on an adventure to the first century A.D. that's described with great detail, humour, and wisdom. First published in 2005 after twelve years of hard work, the Bildungsroman was translated into English by Tim Wilkinson in 2015.

How to live with bipolar disorder
In bipolar disorder, manic and depressive phases alternate, which, by many indications, are opposite to each other. Therefore, in the diagnosis of the disorder, two scales of symptoms are used. A person should be expressed in different periods of those and other signs.
Typical symptoms of mania ( hypomania )
- Heightened mood, from uplifted to feelings of elation and euphoria. High mood is not associated with external events, even very unpleasant incidents can not spoil it.
- High energy. The patient feels full of strength and ready for any achievements. Talented people in a state of easy mania can work around the clock, and with good results.
- Raising energy causes a flash of turbulent activity. This is noticeable in all human behavior: he moves quickly, actively gesticulates, fusses, hurries somewhere.
- Speech fast. Until recently, man was laconic, and now it flows in a continuous stream. He speaks with confidence, with pressure. At the same time, it is easy to distract him from the main idea, and he instantly switches from one topic to another.
- Grand ideas. The "manic" brain works at higher speeds: it generates new ideas, finds harmony and meaning in everything. A "leap of ideas" appears: when a person cannot concentrate on one topic, images in his brain are replaced at a breakneck pace, and those around him with all their desire can no longer see the logic in his statements.
- The extreme manifestation of such a state is a bullshit of greatness. In mania, it may seem to a person that he is brilliant, his ideas are perfect, and he is on the verge of a great discovery.
- Sleep disturbance. The need for sleep is dramatically reduced. People can sleep for 2-3 hours and not feel tired.
- Hypersexuality . In mania, a person feels particularly attractive. He begins to flirt inappropriately, dress defiantly, look for new connections, without worrying about the consequences.
- Rasters of large sums of money. In a maniacal rise, people can gain credits, spend all their savings on entertainment, and consider it an excellent solution.
- Lack of self-criticism. In a strong mania, man is unable to adequately assess his behavior and control it.
- Aggressiveness, irritability. Surrounding people in this state seem stupid and slow, their attempts to reason with a person with BAR cause a strong protest.
Typical symptoms of depression
- Low mood without external reasons. A person is depressed, even if everything goes well in his life, constantly experiencing anguish, hopelessness, helplessness.
- The patient believes that it is he who is to blame for problems at home and at work, he feels himself a burden for his relatives.
- Suicidal thoughts and plans. If such a state is delayed, the person begins to think about the meaninglessness of his life, which brings only pain and frustration. These are not just complaints: suicide attempts during a depression are very common.
- Fatigue, fatigue. A person experiences constant overwork and gets tired of even the easiest work. Some patients sleep all day, others can not sleep because of internal tension and anxiety. In severe depression, the patient completely loses working capacity. His strength may not even be enough to take care of himself.
- Loss of interest in matters that used to be liked ( anhedonia – loss of ability to have fun). A person becomes indifferent to his surroundings, his close people annoy and tire him. In this state, patients often withdraw into themselves and isolate themselves from society.
- Inhibition of thinking, speech, movements.
- High anxiety. A depressed person constantly expects the worst: in his life, in his family's life, in business, and is afraid of any changes.
- Exacerbation of health problems. The physical well-being of a person is also deteriorating. The most common somatic signs of depression are dry mouth, stomach pain, palpitations, headaches, muscle aches, shortness of breath, and frequent urination.
how to distinguish schizophrenia from manic depressive psychosis ?
Despite the fact that today the clinical picture of the development of schizophrenia at the physiological and psychological level is described in sufficient detail, the symptoms of mental disorders are a moving phenomenon. Therefore, in some cases, a consolidated opinion of a single specialist, patient monitoring for several weeks and an extensive history (preliminary data collection), which, besides previous examinations and appointments, would include general information about the patient's personal life, his social activity, the first episodes of the disease, etc.
Most often, both in the public consciousness and individual specialists, they confuse schizophrenia with bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive psychosis (an outdated and unaccepted designation to date). Indeed, both diseases have similar features in the clinical picture:
for example, both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are endogenous, that is, genetic, hereditary ;
- both diseases are accompanied by both depressive episodes and psychotic episodes (impulsive, spontaneous, chaotic activity),
- and in both cases, characteristic changes are observed at the organic level – primarily in the structure and metabolism in the cerebral cortex.
But these are just common features. In essence, schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis are two different diseases. And although none of them can be called preferable or easy, the correct pharmacological support and the content of the course of psychotherapy depend on the exact statement of the diagnosis.
At the Matzpen clinic , a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist simultaneously work with a patient whose diagnosis is subject to doubt, and the final diagnosis is made at a general consultation of specialists. It is fair to note that the diagnosis that the patient or his relatives are counting on is not always confirmed . However, a complete and independent examination in any case will help to clarify the clinical picture of the patient and the optimal program of his treatment.
In particularly controversial cases, during the collection of anamnesis, special psychological tests can be assigned to shed light on the dynamics of his personality structure and internal conflicts, and particular thinking, which in turn is important for the subsequent psychotherapy of the disorder.
Rules of life
If you bipolar upset you have to to master new ones regulations of life .
In this even there is their pros : you have Now there is serious cause to begin new life more healthy and informed .
Much depends on from medication and adequacy physician, but without your his own active of participation Effect from treatment will be much weaker . So that if pills you are taking not the first month and improvement everything not comes , you worth it think about your own an image life : everything whether you do right ?
Daily regime
This is really important. Mood fluctuations are strongly associated with the change of seasons, time of day, hours of sleep. And to make the mood smoother, the mode should be as stable as possible.
The activity and anxiety of mania make it difficult to sleep, and in the morning you are completely exhausted. With depression, you feel tired all the time. Often the strength and motivation are not enough even for the most simple case -n rochitat mail, make breakfast.
To get out of this circle, first of all you need to normalize your sleep.
This means that it matters to you:
- go to bed every night at the same time;
- waking up at the same time;
- sleep at least 8 hours;
- do not allow yourself to sleep during the day;
- refuse to hang on a computer, TV or smartphone at least an hour before bedtime;
- practice meditation, breathing exercises or a very light physical exercise (walk, Pilates exercises ) at night .
In hypomania really want to walk all night long. But you have to make a choice: one tumultuous party can turn into a whole week of depressive or anxious "hangover".
Remember that a sudden change of work or sleep mode can cause deterioration. For example, a flight to another country, and then a few days of lack of sleep can cause mania.
In depression I want to sleep more, because you can afford 12 hours in bed, but do not lie down for a day without leaving the house. It will only get worse. When you are alone with yourself, you will become more and more immersed in depressive thoughts.
Physical activity
When you constantly feel tired, sport is the last thing that attracts you. But if you still have enough perseverance, health will soon change for the better.
Physical activity contributes to the development of hormones of good mood, it will ease the depression. After a load, it will be easier for you to fall asleep, which guarantees a better state of health the next day. Exercise stimulates mental abilities. Statistics show: people who exercise regularly, 25% less likely to suffer from depression.
But exercises help only if they are regular: at least three times a week for 30 minutes. If you are too tired, start with simple and slow exercises, with time you will have more energy. Or just go for a walk in the park – exercise in the fresh air is especially helpful.
Come to the sun often! It improves mood and gives a surge of strength. Solar radiation promotes the absorption of vitamin D , which is necessary for the brain to function.
Less stress
Strong stress is your main enemy. The psyche of a person with bipolar disorder is much less stable and resistant to stress. It is easy to unbalance, and it is stress that can trigger another mania or depression.
Just take it for granted and do not demand heroic deeds from yourself. It is possible that tests really harden someone and make them stronger, but this is definitely not about manic-depressive people.
You, probably, noticed that during the periods of deterioration you are especially injured, even a trifle can ruin you or bring you to tears. If you do not take care of yourself in such moments, you can get to a nervous breakdown, to overcome the consequences of which it will take weeks in the hospital.
This should not be forgotten when you undertake a difficult job or another matter that requires great effort and responsibility.
In hypomania, it is very easy to gain a lot of projects that simply crush you with their weight when the depression begins.
This does not mean that you should not take responsibility for your family and work. This means that you need to soberly assess your strength, and do it during remission. Then provide for the possibility of regular rest and assistance in case of deterioration. Whatever you feel now, they will, sooner or later. It is better not to take on tasks that require constant stress: for example, when you are the only earner in the family or an indispensable specialist in the company.
Healthy food
Proper nutrition is also very important for keeping fit. There are products that will improve your condition and even reduce protrebnost in medicines, and there are those that can seriously harm.
Especially useful for the bipolar :
- Omega-3 acids
- Numerous studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish and fish oil, alleviate symptoms . If you are a vegetarian, then try to eat more eggs and nuts, they also contain them.
- Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is necessary for the functioning of nerve cells and blood cells, it is he who ensures the normal functioning of the brain. Eat plenty of red meat, chicken, liver, fish, eggs, milk. Or pick the appropriate vitamins.
This microelement is found in whole grains, legumes, and dark green vegetables, such as spinach. Magnesium is a natural mood stabilizer, it soothes, like lithium, the most famous medicine for BAR.
W To feel energetic, you must provide themselves with water in abundance. That means 8-10 glasses of fluid a day. With exercise, you need to drink even more.
And, on the contrary, are harmful:
- Excess sugar
- Increasing the level of sugar in the blood can make your unstable mood even more chaotic, and sugar can also enhance the depressive phase. If you really need something sweet, eat fruits – natural sugars do not cause sudden jumps in blood glucose.
- Simple carbohydrates

Cannot play Thor DVD
I am getting a feeling that they are putting some new copy protection on this DVD, or have screwed something up majorly. Windows 7 reports the disk as "UDF". I never thought that DVD discs are released in UDF.
Windows 7 reports the disk to be 41.7GB!
They also placed two files in there,
So looks like another effort to drive those who want to rip DVDs crazy.
VLC 1.1.11 crashes trying to open the disc. To solve this problem, go to Media>Open Folder, click on the Disc, and then open VIDEO_TS.
Also no luck in ripping the DVD before my 1 day Blockbuster rent is over (getting errors). Looks like I will need to pay a late fee and keep it for one more day.
