Dave Farley, co-author of Continuous Delivery (I got my copy last month – more on that in another post) commented on a blog post about the origins of the term build pipeline. He might well do, as it was his idea to make the pipeline concept central to the book.
Being a bit of a geek I called it a pipeline not because it is like a real pipeline, transporting a fluid, but because it reminded me of instruction pipelining in CPUs. Effectively the deployment pipeline (aka build pipeline) works, as a process, by doing branch prediction. We assume that later stages will pass, and so can move on to work on new stuff as soon as the commit stage has succeeded. If subsequent, post-commit, pipeline stages pass, we have won our gamble and so have made progress faster, if they break we have a pipeline stall and have to go back and fix the failure.
UrbanCode came up with the idea of Build Lifecycle.
Jason Yip once suggested that the model for Continous Integration has always been the Toyoda Loom.
I prefer the term Build Assembly Line. Think of engines plopping out from one part of the factory, being inspected and sometimes kicked off the line. Eventually, you might use an engine, or install it in another assembly and use that.
Doesn't matter which you choose though: What's important is having a metaphor for the thing you're building. Otherwise you'll build something weird.

The performance of the oils selected in this work was tested for considering Viscosity, Viscosity Index, Density, Flash Point, Pour Point, and Carbon Residue. The most important of all the properties which makes the oil protect against wear is viscosity that helps to reduce friction between moving parts in the engine. The Viscosities of the oils; Oando SAE 20W50, Total SAE 20W50, Mobil 1 SAE 0W40, Total SAE 40, and AZ SAE 20W50 at 24.8°C (room temperature) and 100°C (maximum test temperature) are 290 cSt and 18 cSt, 290.5 cSt and 20 cSt, 286.4 cSt and 21.20 cSt, 295.2 cSt and 15.60 cSt, 296.8 cSt and 19.60 cSt respectively. This implies that the Mobil 1 is most preferred as it has the least change in viscosity with respect to change in temperature and Total SAE40, a monograde oil as the least preferred as it has highest change in viscosity with respect to change in temperature when high temperature is expected in the service environment. The pour points of the oils are -240C, -22 0C, -280C, -150C, and -220C respectively. Based on this, all the oils are suitable for use in internal combustion engine in Nigeria and Africa. However, in an environment where very low temperature is expected during winter, the Mobil 1 (synthetic Oil) is most preferred and the monograde Oil is not suitable as the flowability may not be good enough at engine start up. The flash point of the Oils is 175 0C, 160 0C, 160 0C, 102 0C, and 170 0C respectively. These Oils are suitable for use in internal combustion engine as all the flash points are above the expected temperatures (0C) during a normal working condition. The carbon residue found in the Oils was 0.95 %, 0.90 %, 0.60 %, 1.00 %, and 0.95 % respectively. The Synthetic Oil has the lowest carbon residue and the monagrade Oil has the highest carbon residue, and so the synthetic Oil is most preferred based on carbon residue result since high amount of carbon residue is a disadvantage. In all the results of laboratory test, all the Oils were seen to be suitable in internal combustion engine with the most preferred Oil as the synthetic followed by the multigrade and the least performing oil is the monograde. To carry out Pressure Mapping Experiment in this work, a pressure mapping equipment was developed. An Internal Combustion Engine, Thermocouple, Tachometer and Pressure Tube were obtained from the market and integrate together to function as desired based on the theoretical background of pressure mapping. The pressure mapping experiment is a fast method of measuring the performance of the lubricating Oil by mapping the pressure of the Oils in an internal combustion engine. This Oil pressure mapping is recommended for the evaluation of the performance properties of the Oils in our local market.
1.1 Preamble
From time immemorial, liquids, including water, have been used as lubricants to reduce
friction and wear and remove heat between two surfaces in contact. At present, lubricating oil also called lube oil is the most commonly used lubricant because it has found a wide range of application in the field of engineering.
A lubricant, sometimes called lube, is a substance (often a liquid) which is introduced between two surfaces in contact moving relative to each order to keep them separate under all loads, temperatures and speed thus minimizing friction and wear. The substance may act as cooling fluid removing heat from the system and also protect surfaces from the attack of aggressive products formed during the operation. Lubricants may also perform the function of dissolving and transporting foreign particles (http://www.Weareoil
Majorly, there are solid and liquid lubricants. Air and other gas based lubricants are there, but for the purpose of this research work, consideration is limited to liquid lubricants. Examples of liquid lubricants are: mineral oils, vegetable oils and synthetic oils.
The most common liquid lubricants are the mineral oils. This is because of the supply of crude oil. The term mineral oil is used here to mean lubricating base oil derived from crude oil that is refined from naturally occurring petroleum. Since they are commonly used, important information about their properties is now available. As products derived from crude oil, they can be produced in a wide range of viscosities for the various applications. There are low-viscosity oil (for easy starting at low temperatures) having hydrogen-carbon chain of about 200 atomic mass unit (amu) and there are also high viscosity oils (for better engine protection at the normal.....

Cut a squash in pieces, remove the seeds, pare the same as for pumpkin, put in a kettle on the stove and stew until tender. When done, rub through a fruit sieve. For each pie, add 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoonful of ginger, 1/2 teaspoonful of cinnamon, a little nutmeg, and sugar to taste; add milk to make as thin as for pumpkin. A little molasses adds very much to the flavor. Beat the eggs before mixing with the squash.

Pink slips and promotions fly at White House in chaotic day of turnover
In the same tweet, Trump named Gina Haspel, Pompeo's deputy at the spy agency, the new director of the CIA.
"I'm really at a point where we're getting very close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want," Trump told reporters Tuesday at the White House.
A senior White House official told Fox News the president decided to swap out Tillerson for Pompeo ahead of his coming meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
A White House source told Fox News that Chief of Staff John Kelly called Tillerson Friday to tell him Trump wanted him to step aside.
Meanwhile, back at the White House, McEntee, Trump's longtime so-called "bodyman," on Tuesday was moved to a position at Trump's 2020 campaign – but was seen being escorted out of the White House.

Freedom of Speech
I seem to be obsessed with this subject.
Free speach indeed.
KTVX Channel 4 won't air 60-second anti-war ad
By Tom Wharton
The Salt Lake Tribune
Salt Lake Tribune
If President Bush wants to avoid peace activist Cindy Sheehan when he visits Salt Lake City on Monday, he might want to watch KTVX Channel 4 instead of Utah's other network stations.
That's because Utah's ABC affiliate is the only major network television station in Utah that refused to run a spot featuring a message from the mother whose son was killed in the Iraq War. She is demanding to meet with the president.
According to a press release issued by Gold Star Families, which is sponsoring the ad, the 60-second spot features Sheehan directly addressing the president, who will speak Monday at the Veterans of Foreign War Convention. The group has spent $15,000 on the ad that will air on CBS, NBC and Fox affiliates in Salt Lake City through Monday. But Channel 4, owned by Texas media giant Clear Channel Communications, refused to accept the spot.
Aaron Davis is president of Utah Chapter 118 of Veterans for Peace who helped arrange the advertising and is one of the organizers of a protest scheduled Monday at Pioneer Park.
"They said the ad did not fit their audience," he said. "That was their spin. [It] is basically 60 seconds of Cindy Sheehan asking the president, 'Why did you kill my son?' That is pretty much it. I have difficulty with five mega-operations owning all the media organizations in the country. . . . That tells me that big business and government are in bed together."
Davis said he thinks KTVX refused to carry the spot because it had business dealings with the Bush administration.
But KTVX general manager David D'Antuono said the decision was entirely local.
According to an e-mail released Saturday, D'Antuono said that after Channel 4 viewed the spot, "the management of KTVX felt that the controversial content could very well be offensive to our community in Utah, which has contributed more than its fair share of fighting soldiers and suffered significant loss of life in this Iraq War." "This is a local market decision made by the local management of KTVX-TV."
Transcript of Cindy Sheehan TV ad
"Mr. President, my name is Cindy Sheehan. On April 4, 2004, my son, Casey was killed in Iraq. He was only 24, and he died in his best friend's arms. Casey was so good and so honest. Why can't you be honest with us? You were wrong about the weapons of mass destruction. You were wrong about the link between Iraq and al-Qaida. You lied to us, and because of your lies, my son died. You said he died for a noble cause. What cause? Mr. President, I want to tell you face to face how much this hurts. I love my country. But how many more of our loved ones need to die in this senseless war? How many more soldiers have to die before we say enough? I know you can't bring Casey back. But it's time to admit mistakes and bring our troops home now."

Gas Station Pressure Washing
St. Cloud & Harmony Pressure Washing – Gas Stations
St. Cloud & Harmony – Gas Station Pressure Washing
Gas is a product that naturally sells itself, every driver needs it, and a variety of other needs bring customers to your pumps. Though with the number of locations available, St. Cloud, Harmony and Lake Nona customers have their choices cut out for them. And beyond prices, one of the other contributing factors in a customer choosing your location over another is cleanliness. Clean sales locations garner more trust from consumers, and providing a welcoming environment can be just as beneficial as low prices.
Oil Stains At The Pump
Your gas pumps see dozens, to hundreds of cars a day parked for a few minutes at a time, and not all of these vehicles will be either brand new or up to regular maintenance. This can mean dripping oil pans, and other fluids leaking out onto your landing. Over time, this buildup leads to blackened stain patches and unsightly pumps. St. Cloud & Harmony Gas Station Pressure Washing brings you a service that handles these messes with ease. With a combination of high quality products and industrial pressure washing, these spots will be lifted and removed from your gas pumps with haste.
Your gas station generally has many standing fixtures across its property. From gas pumps, to air pumps, oil stands, pay phones, tire racks, and more. These areas may face a small amount of cleanliness from falling rain, but often they are set and forget features of your gas station. St. Cloud & Harmony Pressure Washing can bring a professional clean to these areas and give your entire property an overhaul in its state of cleanliness. Items that are clean and free of debris not only command more attention than those that aren't, but also invoke consumer confidence.
Building Façade
Your gas station building itself and the protectionary overhang are the two main areas of your business that customers notice first. These areas are viewed from hundreds of feet down the road, and having them adhere to cleanliness standards will invoke an inviting feeling long before customers turn into your gas station. St. Cloud & Harmony Pressure Washing brings a specialized and professional cleaning service to these areas, and brings you a high quality level of clean for every material on your outdoor façade. Give your St. Cloud, Harmony and Lake Nona customers confidence they can see from the road with our specialized care.
Whether your advertising signs by the road, or T-Stands near your front door, St. Cloud Pressure Washing brings the same level of care and attention to these areas. If you have the lowest gas prices in the neighborhood, ensure that customers can easily see it with St. Cloud & Harmony Pressure Washing professional care. By choosing our company you have the ability to perfectly wash every visible inch of your gas station, which not only will have customers view your business in better life, but give you the confidence that you are giving your customers the best version of your business.

Today is the feast of Saint Anthony of Padua.
For those of you who aren't Catholic, let me first explain a little bit about our tradition of honoring the saints and seeking their intercession. The best way to understand it is to realize that we see the saints, that great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1), as our older brothers and sisters in Christ. We see them as members of Christ's body – because that is exactly what they are. And as such, we are united with them as a part of the Christian family. The fact they they have already died does not make them any less a part of the body of Christ or any less a part of our family than our living brothers and sisters in Christ.
Most Catholics have a favorite saint or two in the same way that most people tend to have a favorite uncle or aunt or cousin. Often a Catholic will gravitate toward a particular saint because of a shared interest or vocation. Sometimes we are drawn to a saint because we find his or her story particularly moving or inspiring. Whatever the reason, when we have a favorite saint, we usually honor that saint in the same way we honor our earthly relatives on their birthdays or anniversaries. We celebrate! Sometimes entire parishes or communities will have a patron saint whose feast day is a really big deal. For example today in Boston, thousands are gathered to eat, drink, and have a parade in honor of Saint Anthony.
But we don't just honor our favorite saints by partying on their feast days. We also seek their help in our daily lives. The primary way we do this is through prayer. This is where it gets a little uncomfortable for our Protestant brothers and sisters, so let me clarify.
When we say that we are praying to a saint, what we actually mean is that we are asking that saint to pray for us. We aren't really praying to the saints – not is the same way we pray to God. Rather, because we know that the saints are constantly interceding before the throne of God (Rev. 5:8), we are simply asking them to pray for us and with us in the same way we ask our earthly friends and family to pray for us. Again, we are all one body – everyone both living and dead who belongs to Christ.
The saints are simply fellow Christians who we admire, love, and respect and who we go to for prayer in times of need. Our relationship with our favorite saint is never meant to stand in place of or in the way of our relationship with Jesus. The saints merely encourage us and strengthen us through example and prayer.
So, on to one of my personal favorites Saint Anthony of Padua. Saint Anthony was born in 1195 in Lisbon, Portugal. When he was a young friar, after seeing the bodies of five Franciscan martyrs returned the monastery, Anthony asked to be sent to Moslem North Africa to serve and preach (and most likely be killed). He was given permission to go, but apparently God had other plans. After becoming terribly ill and being ship wrecked, Anthony eventually ended up back in Italy where he became known for his eloquent and fiery preaching. Because of his gifts he was sent to preach to the Albigensians – heretics who believed that a good God created the spiritual world and that everything in the material world was created by an bad god and was inherently evil. They believed that Jesus was sent to deliver our spirits from our evil, material bodies.
However, Anthony's sermons did not usually take direct issue with heresy, but rather he preferred to show the beauty and grandeur of true Christianity. He won hearts and souls for God by showing them the love and goodness of the Father.
Not only was Anthony a gifted preacher, he was also a humble servant of God. At that time, just like today, the lifestyle of some who preached the gospel was in sharp contrast to the lifestyle of the poor among them. But Saint Anthony embraced a life of poverty and service. As a result, he moved people not only by his words but also by how he lived.
If you want to know more about Saint Anthony go here or here. Anthony is the patron saint of travelers, the poor, and lost or stolen items. It's that last one that landed Saint Anthony a special place in my heart. I know it would be much more holy to say that I was drawn to Saint Anthony by his willingness to die for his faith or for his care for the poor. But the fact is I go to Saint Anthony a lot because I lose stuff – a lot. When I'm looking for my keys, trying to find my glasses, or searching frantically for that really important thing that I put somewhere (but where?) for safekeeping, I often call on Saint Anthony to pray for me. This has seldom failed.
And just as he drew people to a deeper relationship with God by his example, his help finding my car keys is the reason I decided look more closely at the life of this saint–a life that inspires me to be a better Christian. So,thank you, Saint Anthony! And Happy Feast Day!

Essentiel, mais hélas bancal ! www.cinefiches.com
Holy shit! That's what went through my head from the 1st of those 123 minutes till the end. I don't know how they did it.. (w/ 10 directors!) To capture, offer entrance into, the complexity of the political moment, in a way - deeply nuanced but solidly unified - that forced my full intellectual & emotional engagement. Somehow (it's rare!) both earnest and sophisticated. Can't say enough. The Antigone bit was perfect.
An explosive comment on the effects of the RAF in the late 70s, this film doesn't particularly advance anything in its own right, serving more as a showcase of different views on familiar points, shifting from a tense autobiographical episode to freeform visual and auditory poeticism, morphing into something quite postmodern before settling into regular documentary format.
I didn't understand enough of the context to engage with this film-- probably would still struggle today. But it has stayed with me-- especially Fassbinder's contribution.
The maximum of "stars" for Fassbinder's part, an extraordinary piece of autobiography. As good as Thomas Bernhard.
I reviewed my own review after watching it again, this time at Cinemateca Portuguesa. Seeing Deutschland im Herbst in 2015, in the midst of the current geopoltical crisis in Europe is quite an impressive experience.
One of the few (semi) successful attempts at the topical, Euro-centric omnibus film - nearly a decade after the format was scrapped by its jet-setting producers as financially underwhelming. The photography is uniformally gorgeous, much of it worth seeing alone as documentation of the era rendered.
a film with plenty of reward for the patient viewer

Título: Latin America: Its Cities and Ideas
The Cities and Their Original Functions
Beginning with Fort Navidad and La Isabella, the many cities founded by Spanish and Portuguese conquistadores were centers where they concentrated all the resources needed to face their internal contests for power as well as their ethnic and cultural confrontations with the native peoples in the conquered lands and in those yet to be conquered. The cities were legal and physical structures that had been thought out in Europe and were then transplanted into the virtually unknown soil of America. Pedro Mártir of Anghiera called those cities colonies because they seemed to be mere Spanish outposts. At the time they were founded, the cities were given a function, or to be more precise, they were founded in order to serve a pre-established function; they all began by performing that function, even though they might later become very different from one another.
In most cases, Latin American cities began as forts. This was inevitable, because each conquistador had to contend not only with forbidding and unimagined natural obstacles but also with the hostility of the Indian populations and with other conquistadores in the struggle for the possession of certain disputed regions. At the closing of his Cuarta Década, Pedro Mártir somberly states, I will say it in just a few words, because all this is so unrelentingly horrible. Since my Décadas were completed, there has been nothing but killing and dying, murdering and being murdered.
Thus the first cities were forts. In his letter of 1520 to the Emperor, Hernán Cortés wrote ,I left in Veracruz 150 foot soldiers and two cavalrymen, building a fortress that is now almost finished. Ulrich Schmidl spoke in similar terms about the first foundation of Buenos Aires in 1536, and so did Ruy Díaz de Guzmán about the establishment of Asunción in 1537. But the most eloquent testimony by far is that of Pedro de Valdivia in a letter written to the Emperor in 1545:
I decided to shelter an area of about 1600 square feet with a wall approximately eight feet high; the wall was made of 200,000 adobe bricks, each one yard in length and a palm in height, which Your Majestys servants and I, our weapons on our backs, fashioned with our own hands, working from start to finish without a single break. And whenever we heard the Indians cries, the lower ranks and bearers would run to that shelter, where the food was kept under guard. The foot soldiers would stay to defend the fortress, and the horsemen would go with me into the countryside to fight the Indians and defend our farmland.
Martín Alonso de Sousa also built forts in São Vicente and in Rio de Janeiro in 1532; in Recife, where the French had already built a fort, the Portuguese built yet another; the same was done in Olinda and in Salvador de Bahía, and later in Montevideo.
The fortified city was the first Hispanic-American experience. Behind its walls gathered a group of armed men who had to make war in order to occupy the land and extract the riches they assumed were hidden within it. They needed the Indians as mediators, in order to obtain food in the midst of an unknown nature and to find the key to the secret treasure: the pearls off the Venezuelan coastline, the gold and the silver which, before being discovered in large amounts, were found in amounts sufficient to whet the appetite of the conquistadores. But these conquistadores needed to keep the Indians under control, or better still, they needed to keep the Indians at once subdued and well-disposed. It was out of this duplicity that the policy of acculturation and mestizaje (mixing of the two races) was born; the fortified city was the first instrument of that policy. This is how all these cities came into being, first among them Fort Navidad. Next came the frontier cities like Valdivia, Concepción and La Serena in Chile, Santa Cruz and Tarija in Bolivia, and after that the outpost cities and those that followed the founding of Nueva Cádiz and Coro in Venezuela and of Barbacoa and Bayamo in Cuba. Countless Latin American cities have a fort at their origin.
Other Latin American cities began as connecting ports. They functioned as mercantile bastions, and sometimes they served also as markets, thus becoming trade centers. As points of arrival and departure for the fleets of the mother country, these cities were built on natural ports, sometimes without considering whether the site itself could sustain a permanent population. Santo Domingo, Portobelo, Havana, Panama, Veracruz, Cartagena, Salvador de Bahía, and Recife were all founded to accommodate the fleets. The economic policy of the Crown recognized the growing importance of certain ports and gave them a crucial role in the maritime traffic with the metropolis. This was the case with Portobelo and Veracruz after the regular routes of fleets and galleons were charted. The same happened with Acapulco, which handled all the traffic with the Philippines; with Panama and El Callao, which were the two terminals for shipping along the Pacific the silver that was then to be loaded and shipped across the Atlantic; and with Salvador de Bahía and Recife, which were the shipping ports for sugar. Trade functions were concentrated only in certain ports to secure monopoly and, above all, fiscal control. The concentration of trade functions prompted the development of these ports, which were provided with a military structure of defense and gathered ship repair businesses, merchant groups, government offices, and of course all the groups of population that urban centers of that nature would always attract.
These seaports were bustling with life because they offered so many and varied activities and opportunities; they were also prosperous because of the massive wealth they gathered. It was inevitable that these cities should attract the attention of pirates and corsairs. Many cities suffered their attackSan Juan de Puerto Rico, Panama City, Santiago de Cuba, Havanaand some were even destroyed by them. To avoid that danger, they were walled in and, in some cases, protected by the construction of a castle or morro (citadel). Cartagena de Indias still preserves its powerful wall and fortifications, and the citadels of Havana and San Juan de Puerto Rico are still standing. To lie in watch of the Caribbean cities, pirates created their own dens in the desert islands. For this reason, the port cities became centers of intense military activity, and, whenever they felt threatened by a possible attack, they mobilized their entire population.
Some ports acquired a rather different profile. The trade monopoly prompted the creation of a parallel black market. After its second foundation in 1580, Buenos Aires became a lesser port, economically inferior to those authorized to receive shipments from Europe. Such shipments came to Buenos Aires only by way of Portobelo or Lima. As a consequence, there emerged an intense and very methodical system of contraband which had its centers of operation in the Portuguese colonies. Contraband made Buenos Aires survive and prosper. In fact, the city itself had come into existence because the regions in the interior of the southern part of the continent were looking for a way to the sea that would free them from their dependence on the ports on the Pacific. Buenos Aires was a gateway to the land, on a direct line with Spain across the Atlantic. And as a port, Buenos Aires came in the end to perform the same function as the ports that the metropolis had established in the Caribbean and along the Pacific coast.
Some Latin American cities were originally just a station along the way, a place where people and products could be regrouped to continue their journey to more remote or dangerous regions. A typical case was Puebla de los Angeles, in Mexico, founded in 1531. The second Audiencia established Puebla to serve as a safe waystation on the journey between the port of Veracruz and Mexico City. Tlaxcala and Cholula, two major Indian cities along that same route, also served the same function. Even more significant was the case of Asuncion, founded in 1537 by Juan de Salazar at a place selectedaccording to Ruy Díaz de Guzmán because it seemed to him to be a good port and station for navigating the river." There gathered those bound from the Río de la Plata to what they imagined would be a mining region. There also came the survivors of the expedition of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, after their fabled march from the shore of the Gulf of Santa Catalina across Brazil. And in the times of Alvar Núñez and Irala, it was from Asunción that expeditions like that of Juan de Ayolas repeatedly tried to open up a route to Peru. All these attempts failed. But the future of Asunción was decided by new settlers who gradually occupied the surrounding areas and established close relations with the Guarani Indians. And so, from a stronghold and waystation city, Asunción eventually became a city proper in 1541, by a decision of the population that had settled there. The cities founded in what is now Argentine territory, along the north-south valleys of the Andean mountains, such as Jujuy, Salta, Londres (later called Catamarca), La Rioja, San Juan, and Mendoza, or those laid out along the way from Alto Peru to the Río de la Plata, such as Salta, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, and Córdoba, were established in much the same way as Asunción.
The long distances and hostility of the Indians made it necessary to found these cities. Speaking about Loja in Ecuador, Cieza de León says, The site of the city is the best and most advantageous that could be found, as it is a region inside the province; and as said before, this city was founded because the Spaniards who were traveling the royal road to Quito and elsewhere were in danger of being attacked by the Carrochamba and Chaparra Indians. The quality of the site was measured by several factors. A high and easily defensible position in the mountainous regionsa position like those where the Incas had established their own small fortsmight be selected. Yet other factors might decide which site was chosen. A ford or a bridge was a good place, as was a watershed or crossroads. At such a favorable sitewhich was the only appropriate sitea chapel might be erected, or an inn for getting fresh horses and refreshments. Around that small nucleus the city developed: first as a hamlet, then as a village.
At times, the Latin American city was built upon the site of an Indian city. A few of these were considerably large cities, and two of themMexico City and Cuzcomade vivid impressions upon the Spaniards. It is a city as big as Sevilla or Córdoba, wrote Hernán Cortés about Tenochtitlán. And he added, It has another plaza that is twice the size of Salamanca, completely surrounded by arcades. Every day there are some 60,000 people there to buy and sell. Although his description is full of admiration and awe, he nevertheless destroyed the city. In its place was built another city, this one in the European style. The new Mexico City was laid out in quadrilateral form; the site chosen for the Christian church was approximately where the Indian temple had once stood. The foundation of the fort was laid; the land was divided up, and little by little the new buildings began to go up, made from the same stone used to build the enormous Aztec buildings. Work began in 1523, on orders from Cortés.
In Peru, according to Cieza de León, Nowhere was there a city so beautiful as Cuzco, which was the seat of the Inca Empire and of its royalty. The opulent, Indian city astonished the conquistadores. It had to have been built by a great people, writes Cieza de León. He described it as follows:
There were splendid streets, except that they were very narrow. There were houses built of solid stone; the massive building blocks were perfectly pieced together, and the joints or couplings, which showed how old the buildings were, were beautifully done. The other houses were made of wood and straw or mud, because tile, masonry, or lime were nowhere in evidence. Located in several places in the city were residences of the Inca kings where the successor to their throne held his celebrations. There was also the magnificent temple of the sun, which they called Coricancha, one of the richest in gold and silver in the entire world.
But the city suffered the devastation wrought by war, and, as Cieza writes, Don Francisco Pizarro, Governor and Captain General of these kingdoms in the name of Emperor Carlos, rebuilt it and refounded it in October of the year 1534.
Unlike what happened in Tenochtitlán, Spanish Cuzco retained much of the Indian city, and as happened in Mexico City, the traditional significance of certain places survived. The cathedral was built upon the ruins of the temple of Viracocha, out of the very blocks that had been used to construct the temple; the grounds that had once been the site of the palace of Guaina Capac were the place the Jesuits chose to build their church. Both were on the edge of the Plaza Mayor, which had been the main square of the old Inca city as well.
Besides Mexico City and Cuzco, other Latin American cities were built upon sites of small Indian communities situated in advantageous locations; these included Cholula, Bogota, Quito, Huamanga, Chuquisaca, Mendoza, and to some extent São Paulo in Brazil. But almost nothing remained of the former Indian village, and little by little the symmetry of the European city and its buildings would completely cover over what had once been an indigenous community. Other places would emerge or, like Piura in Peru, carry on as indigenous suburbs. Occasionally the marketplace survived; in any case the site retained its attraction and, with it, a certain social interdependence that helped define the citys makeup as an amalgam of Spanish, mestizo, and Indian communities.
The intense attraction exerted by the mining areas triggered the appearance of a Latin American city of an altogether different type. The lure of mining brought about the establishment of Taxco and Guanajuato in Mexico and Vila Rica in Brazil. But Potosí was unquestionably the one that was most characteristic of this type of city.
Founded in 1545, shortly after the discovery of the Cerro Rico, within eighty years Potosí had 4,000 Spanish homes, and always between 4,000 and 5,000 men. Thus says the author of the Descripción del Perú, attributed to a Portuguese Jew and written in the early seventeenth century. The author adds: Some engage in mining, while others market their wares throughout the kingdom; others make and sell food and the wax candles used every day in the mines. Still others live by their wits and their gambling, and by being bold. The description continues: Over 40,000 Indians live around the town in straw huts. The provincial governors (corregidores) issue the orders that force the Indians to work in the mines, and their chiefs bring them there. And thus they submit to the mita (forced labor in the mines), and come to work, some traveling over 150 leagues.
Shortly after the founding of the city, Cieza de León pointed out how the importance of Potosís market: the commerce was so great that when the mines were prosperous, among Indians alonenot counting Christiansbetween 25,000 and 30,000 gold pesos changed hands each day; there were even days when 40,000 gold pesos in business was done; it was a strange thing, and I do not believe that there is any market in the world that can rival it for business.
The city of Villa Rica de Albuquerque, now called Ouro Preto, was another typical mining city. It was founded, in 1711, because of the riches promised by the mines in its hills and streams promised and because these mines are important sources of trade and wealth. Three years after it was founded, the city, lead by its governor, Antonio de Albuquerque, was already able to pave its streets and build bridges, erect public buildings, and ensure a water supply. By then, Villa Rica was already contributing six arrobas 1 of gold per year to the Royal Treasury.
The growth of these mining cities paralleled, as a rule, the growth of the mining operations, because the only advantage of their sites was their proximity to the mines. But as the mines prospered, they helped create centers of attraction that left, as a lasting reminder, the physical structure of a large and rich city and a system of human interests that refused to fade away.
As a military and political center, the Latin American city was often an institution, that is, the physical expression of a legal and political situation. The conquistador, who had been given certain territorial rights in the form of a charter or grant, was required to take possession of his territory. But that territory was often unknown, and its description and even its size were purely hypothetical. Once on the land, the colonizer had to translate that hypothesis into reality. To claim the land, some event was needed; generally that event was the founding of a city. Most Latin American cities of the sixteenth century were, in some sense, founded as a necessary response to these circumstances. The first such case was Santo Domingo, established in 1496; then came other cities founded by the Spaniards on Hispaniola and Cuba in the early decades of the sixteenth century, and those established by the Portuguese along the Brazilian coast, beginning with São Vicente in 1532.
But the necessary response to circumstances was most evident in regions where jurisdictional disputes emerged. Perhaps the most typical case is that of Santa Fe de Bogotá, founded in 1538 by Jiménez de Quesada and refounded the following year in the presence of the three conquistadores, Quesada, Benalcázar, and Federman, who had happened to arrive then on the savannah. Several cities in the interior of what is today Argentina were founded under similar circumstances. Men directly answerable to the government in Lima competed and those who took orders directly from Pedro de Valdivia, the governor of Chili, competed for the northwest region. The first group founded the city of Barco, but the second ordered that it be abandoned and in 1553 founded within its jurisdiction the city of Santiago del Estero. Still more remarkable was the case of Mendoza, which García Hurtado de Mendoza, Governor of Chile, ordered established in 1551 to carry on his name when he learned that he was about to be replaced by a rival. One year later, his successor, Francisco de Villagra, ordered Juan Jufré to found the city again, since that settlementas the Charter of the second founding readswas unfit in parts for the good and increase and preservation of the dwellings and the population, because they are within a valley and do not get the winds that are necessary for the health of those who live and shall live there. The first city was just beginning to be built when the second one was baptized City of the Resurrection. Villagra ordered that:
all official documents and testaments, and all those that usually bear the day, month, and year shall show that name and none other, and anyone violating this order shall be subject to the penalty prescribed for those who put on public documents the names of cities that are not settled in the name of His Majesty or subject to his royal dominion.
This act consolidated the jurisdiction of the governor of Chile over the trans-Andean region known as Cuyo.
In some regions of Latin America the Indian villages were as important as the European-style cities. Some of the old, native settlements were to some extent incorporated into the new colonial system. But new Indian communities began to emerge, organized from the start within the European system. This was especially true in the case of the missions and reducciones2 that the various religious orders established.
In Mexico City, Bishop Vasco de Quiroga developed a unique plan to protect the Indian population. To prevent them from being exploited and exterminated, he organized a group of communities in Michoacan, inspired by ideas he drew from Erasmus and Thomas More and based on his own observations of the social and cultural patterns of the Indians. In the beginning, they were hospitals and shelters, but they quickly became villages. One of them, founded by Viceroy Mendoza, was the city of Valladolid, today called Morelia. Organized according to their own traditions and engaged in their particular crafts and labor, the Indians nevertheless formed urban centers that fit the colonial pattern. Their work habits did not change, but their dependency and their forced exposure to Christian teaching slowly led the Indians toward gradual integration with Spanish groups or, more precisely, toward a quiet acceptance of their subjection.
The Dominican, Capuchin, Mercedarian, and, above all, Franciscan and Jesuit missions were all similar in this respect. The Franciscan missions were the largest and the best organized, with a very well-defined system of political, socio-economic, and spiritual ideas. There were major experiments in several places: Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela, Peru and Brazil. But those founded in Moxos and Chiquitos and in Paraguay are particularly interesting. In Paraguay, thirty identical villages were established: a chessboard layout with a plaza at the center and the church, convent, cemetery, workshops, jail, and town hall all arranged around it. The inhabitantsas many as 3,000 engaged in agriculture and lived a carefully regulated life within their villages, but they also lived in complete isolation. In the meantime, the Indian reducciones often served as the basis for new communities. This happened in the case of Quilmes, south of Buenos Aires, which was populated by an Indian group that had been transplanted from the Calchaquies valleys in 1669, once their terrifying insurrection was suppressed. The cities of Itatí, Jesús María, Rio Cuarto, and Baradero, all in Argentina, came into being in much the same way.
In Brazil the most notable case of a mission becoming a great city was undoubtedly that of São Paulo. The mission was established in 1554 by the Jesuits, under Father Manuel de Nóbrega, the Brazilian provincial headquartered in São Vicente. Father José de Anchieta quickly became the most prominent of the thirteen priests assigned to the mission. These priests set themselves up in the Indian village of Piratininga, and the followers of Tebiriça and Caiubí, caciques (chieftans) of the Guayanazi, came to live in the village. Following the example of those two famous Indians, so many came from the interior that the village was unable to accommodate them all. At the center of the new mission were the Jesuit school and the church, around which the Indian huts were built. Two years after its founding, new adobe buildings were replacing the original, rudimentary school and church; some adobe houses began to appear as well, while walls and stockades were built to protect the new population. Not long thereafter, people of many types began to gravitate to São Paulo. The so-called bandeirantes made the city their base of operations for hunting Indians, most whom they then sold as slaves; São Paulo thus became a major market for red slaves. Businessmen like Jorge Moreira and the Sardinha amassed an enormous fortune from enterprises of every type. They were the ones who controlled the Cámara, the municipal governmental body that began to function in São Paulo around 1560.

Once again, the kids are thrilled with the 4-5 inches of snow that fell early this morning and throughout the day! It was a light and fluffy snow, fortunately for Caleb and Cameron who had to shovel it!
Church had a slim crowd today, due to all the snow that fell. Ron went part way to West Union for the 8 am service, and turned around and came home. The roads were not good enough for him to continue on!
Services were very nice, and we came home and had honey glazed ham, mashed potatoes and corn. A yummy Sunday dinner. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow and watching movies. The only disappointment about the snow is that it didn't wait 12-24 hours so they'd get a Snow Day out of it! :)
Caleb and Cameron have done a good job of shoveling this year! (of course, we've only had snow TWO times! Caleb worked hard at getting the driveway cleaned off this afternoon! Thanks, boys!
The kids are SO anxious to go sledding, but we just don't have a place for it around here! We may try to go and visit some friends next weekend that have a nice, very hilly, back yard! Rachel had a fun time making SNOW ANGELS this week! Here's some of her artwwork!

WEYMOUTH -- Class was in session for a young Weymouth High girls hockey team Wednesday night, and the Wildcats found out learning can be fun.
Weymouth did its homework in the first period, rattling off five goals, and coasted to a 6-1 win over an undermanned Newton North squad that dropped to 1-12.
The Wildcats (4-9-1, 3-4-1 Bay State Conference) swept the season series, having beaten the Tigers 3-1 in their opener on Dec. 13.
"All in all the girls came out strong in the first period and did what we wanted them to do and grab that big, quick lead," Weymouth coach Dan McGlone said. "They jumped out to the big lead and we worked on some things and we moved the puck around and worked on some plays.
"We (also) worked on sportsmanship; we are not here to embarrass anybody. We controlled the game from the get-go and worked on some things in practice and they wanted to show that they can execute it."
The Wildcats were coming off a rough 6-0 loss to Braintree, with whom they are battling for second place in the Bay State Carey Division. Braintree (10-3, 4-2) leads Weymouth by one point.
"That's what it was tonight -- we wanted to show that the game against Braintree was not us," said McGlone, whose team was idle for week before that loss. "We were caught off guard and it was too much time off between games.
"The girls came back tonight and wanted to show that was not the team that showed up in the Braintree game. They came out strong and had something to prove."
Freshmen led the way for the Wildcats as Emily Long had two goals and two assists, and Emily Bisbee had two first-period goals and set up another.
Long scored a goal in the first and the third period and assisted on two goals in the first period.
"We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores, so the future looks bright," McGlone said. "Those two girls, Emily Bisbee and Emily Long, played very well. It is very encouraging to watch them and we will watch them for a while."
Sophomore Drew Dempsey and senior captain Alivia Hearon also scored for Weymouth in the first period.
Junior goaltender Peyton Beady turned aside 16 shots, allowing only a deflected power-play goal by Newton North's Zoe Verdone in the second period.

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori
Kua tata oti te wiki o te reo Māori, he mīharo hoki te kite atu i te maha o ngā mahi whakanui i te reo Māori puta noa i te motu!
Māori language week is drawing to a close and it was fantastic to see the celebration of te reo Māori and Māori culture through a wide range of events around the country. It was also great to hear stories of people learning and speaking Māori or doing something as simple as improving their pronunciation of the many Māori place names of Aotearoa.
Māori Language Week is about raising awareness. While there is reason to still be concerned about the long-term future of the language, it is still spoken and sung by many: 130,000 have conversational fluency, 300,000 are learning at school, and 10,000 in tertiary education.
It is hugely important to embrace te reo Māori and our Māori heritage in our communities and it is great to see our agencies celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. Te reo and tikanga are absolutely central to Māori New Zealanders. Celebrating Māori culture and using te reo Māori is all part of the wairua manaaki - the spirit of service.
A number of departments got involved in this week's programme through a series of public events in the capital - including a parade, short films, guest speakers, hāngi lunches, and a Māori aerobics session on Parliament's back lawn.
Congratulations to all the departments and public servants right around Aotearoa who took part. Kia ora to Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori and the other Māori language agencies - TPK, Internal Affairs, Māori Television Service, Te Māngai Paho, Ministry of Education and Culture and Heritage - not only on their involvement in the week's celebrations but on the progress being made towards Te Maihi Karauna - the Crown's Māori Language Strategy. It's expected to be issued later in the year and will set the path ahead for revitalisation of New Zealand's own language. It will be implemented alongside Te Maihi Māori, championed by the new independent statutory entity Te Mātāwai.
Ngā mihi
Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui!

Prayer Request
We ask that you bathe Rick, Sherri, and the entire Burgess family in prayer as they deal with the loss of their youngest son, Bronner Burgess. We all are grieving together in this terrible loss. The Burgess's want to give all Honor and Glory to GOD for the many blessings He has given us, especially the life of Bronner Burgess. And while we do not understand, we know who is in charge and His will be done in life and in death.
He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 1 Thessalonians 5:10
I cannot begin to imagine the pain that they are feeling. Please join me in praying over this family. May they feel the presence of the Lord and may God give them peace.

My Mom called me last night to tell me about it. I was sick. I get up every morning around 6 and listen to them on the internet...and then in the car as I take the FlyingMonkeys to school.
I can not help putting myself in their situation...how do you keep breathing...how do you tell your other children...how do you stop seeing the horror of him in the pool and remember him happy and vibrant.
When my Grandmother was murdered my Dad told me that it was the worst thing we would ever have to go through. He was wrong...loosing a child would be so much worse.
My prayers are with their families.

The iconic view of a dungeon is of a constructed underground complex stuffed full of monsters and loot. There are other kinds of dungeon, though, ripe for adventure.

Dungeon Design: Megadungeon Design
Designing a megadungeon is hard. If you don't get the dungeon's metaphorical foundations right, you are wasting your time.
Dungeon Design: Dungeon Physicality
Dungeon Design: Dungeon Dressing
Musty dungeon corridors set with uneven flagstones whose walls are daubed in goblin graffiti are infinitely more interesting than "a dungeon corridor."
Dungeon Design: Dungeon Ecology
Surely designing a dungeon badly is a doddle – just sketch some rooms out and randomly stock them with monsters and treasure? That's true up to a point, but taking extra time to consider the dungeon's ecology is design time well spent.
Dungeon Design: Designing the Dungeon
Dungeons that are nothing more than a series of rooms containing a random assortment of monsters and treasures that have no real reason for existing are the result of sloppy, lazy design.
Dungeon Design: The Dungeon's Purpose
A dungeon needs to be so much more than a hole in the ground stuffed full of monsters and treasures. A dungeon without a purpose is a poor dungeon indeed.
Dungeon Design: Things to Know About a Dungeon
PCs are an inquisitive lot. Irritatingly the more successful ones don't just charge into the nearest dungeon in search of loot and glory. They ask questions. Lots of questions.
Dungeon Design: Dungeon Names
Campaign worlds need deep dungeons, lost dwarven holds, crumbling castles, ebon caverns and dusty necropolises for the PCs to explore. Such locales need suitably evocative names.

Knowing The "Who" In A "Why" World.
Contributed by Frederic Whittier on Nov 4, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: A sermon about Who we can turn to in times of trouble.
Knowing the "Who" In A "Why" World
One of the hardest questions to ever answer is the "Why?". A person can go on for hours explaining his life away, and again the question can always be turned back to "Why?".
Caleb has now entered into that phase. He's becoming more and more curious about his surroundings, and what he can and cannot get away with. Inevitably, when faced with a barrier he cannot understand, the onslaught of "why" fills the air.
As adults, we too are left many times questioning the things around us. We're often left shaking our heads, never fully understanding why things take place.
The hardest questions to find answers to is why a loving God would allow such tragedies occur in our lives, especially the lives of the ones who bear His name. Many questioned God when Ethel King came down with cancer. I asked God why Caleb had to get so sick with E coli, while the twin boys with the same kind walked away relatively healthy.
The only bad thing with the asking why is that we never really get an answer. If God were a sadistic tyrant, His answers could easily be "Why not?". But He doesn't do that. Vance Havner said, "God marks across some of our days, "Will explain later."
While asking why may bring some people a small amount of comfort, I truly do not think that we're looking for the right thing. I think that when more often we are looking for a sense of comfort instead of the answers.
Habakkuk, like many of us, actually stopped up and questioned God about what was happening to his people and his home. Unlike any of the other prophets, Habakkuk questioned God. He wanted to know why these things were going on. Also, like many of us, he missed something by asking that question.
Habakkuk's Question:
Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen? (Ch. 1:2-4; 12-2:1)
Habakkuk wanted to know, just as we do, what God was doing and why. There seemed to be too much evil among the "righteous" and too much freewheeling power among the wicked. (Nelson Study Bible)
We look around at our world today, and we too ask "Why?" Where is God now? Why doesn't He do anything? Are you still there God?
There's something within our make up that questions God's ability and reasoning. I don't know about you, but I do not find very much comfort in the verse " My ways are not your ways; and my thoughts are not your thoughts." That does nothing for me when I want to know the answers. Apparently, that very comfort would not comfort Habakkuk either. He asked the same why question twice to God.
Biblical "Whys"
• If all is well, why am I like this? So she went to inquire of the Lord.—Rebekah, in Genesis 25:22
• Why did we ever come up out of Egypt.—the Israelites, in Numbers 11:20
• Why then has all this happened to us.—Gideon, in Judges 6:13
• They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly, and said, "O Lord, God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel?"—the Israelites following the destruction of the tribe of Benjamin
• Why is the house of God forsaken?—Nehemiah, in Nehemiah 13:11
• Why have you set me as your target?—Job, in Job 7:20
• Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide in times of trouble?—Psalm 10:1
My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?—Matthew 27:46
We're not alone when we ask why. But if that's all we ask in times of trouble, we'll never find the comfort that we need, and we'll walk away discouraged. I think to many people have left the church and have turned away from God because they could never find the answer to those questions.
If we take a look at what God had to say to Habakkuk, we'll see that in times of toils and troubles, it's not "Why" we're we'll find all the answer. We need to turn to the "Who". We need to find the One who called Himself "I am Who I AM!"
God's Responses To Habakkuk's Why's.
a) God has under His control (5)
God is the One who has it all in His hands. As He told Habakkuk., the things that He does
and why He allows them to happen is not for us to know because we wouldn't believe Him. But He is still in control. We can continue to question, but God allows such things to happen to fulfill His plans.
b) God knows what He is doing (13)
God has determined that some things need to take place to better His people. He allowed Habakkuk's people to go into exile to strengthen their need for Him. But God promised that He would bring them back to Him. God's people live by promises, not by explanations.—Warren Wiersbe.

|a connoisseur of fine food and drink; epicure.
|of or characteristic of a gourmet, esp. in involving or purporting to involve high-quality or exotic ingredients and skilled preparation: gourmet meals; gourmet cooking.
|elaborately equipped for the preparation of fancy, specialized, or exotic meals: a gourmet kitchen.
Read that definition. Now, read it again. I don't have a desire to be a gourmet chef. If I want something gourmet, I'll go to a restaurant. In my opinion (which is why you're reading this blog), this is exactly how people of my generation DO NOT want to cook. I don't have the time or energy to seek out exotic ingredients. I do not have the supplies or ambition to master "skilled preparation". And I don't really care if my food would be described as "fancy".
I want to eat something simple, with easily acquired and affordable ingredients, that is DELICIOUS. And if it comes off as fancy, all the better, but that isn't my main goal.
USA Today just posted an article that confirms my opinion and explains how the internet, television cooking shows, and social networking has changed the world of food. I really enjoyed this article because it validated me starting this blog. Vain? Maybe. But listen up readers, so far, my opinions are right on :)
And, Gourmet, see you later. You may be missed, but not by me.


text: "So I'd been seeing this girl for roughly 6 months. We'd been sleeping together and having a hell of a time. I was even beginning to have real feelings for this girl. So one day I'm told by this other girl in class that my girl is cheating on me. Come to find out she really is. So I broke up with her. Bout a month later I'm bored on pot site and see a link to some milf-hookup site. Sign up cuz I'm girly as f**k and find some older lady to hookup with. So we f**k a couple of times (surprisingly) and then it ends. Come to the schools family night and see my ex. I go over out of common courtesy to say hello and se how she is. Only to discover that the milf is been f*****g, was her grandmother. I laughed so hard and rudely walked away. Still f****d her grandma two more times. #noregrets #karma"

This factsheet addresses how you should be able to reduce anxiety around your workload with practical tips to help ground you despite the piles of paperwork!
Experiencing a divorce or separation can be one of the most emotional and stressful times in your life. Trying to juggle day to day life when you are going through such a change and loss can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed.
We worked with the national charity for families, Family Lives, to produce an online resource: 'Guidance for Head Teachers and School Staff: How to Support Pupils' Parents'. The guidance offers advice to educational professionals on how to better work with their pupils' parents and where they can go for additional support.
In partnership with Parentline Plus (now Famliy Lives) we reviewed the extensive literature and many studies examining the link between parental engagement and pupil attainment, behaviour and attendance.
More than two-thirds (68%) of staff in education witnessed homophobic harassment and just under half (48%) were personally discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, according to our research carried out in March 2014.
We carried out research that shows that according to teachers, over the past 5 years pupil behaviour has worsened and the impact this has had on teacher wellbeing.
Education staff manage relationships with numerous people including colleagues, managers, parents and students. It is therefore inevitable that a disagreement will happen at some point so learning how to manage them productively is vital.

Jolteon - Yenra Picture Wiki
Jolteon (Thunders), known as the Lightning Pokemon, is one of the evolutions of Eevee that is caused by radiation from a Thunderstone.
Its counterparts are Flareon and Vaporeon, which evolve from Eevee using a Fire Stone and Water Stone respectively. Jolteon is covered with bright yellow spiky fur, and white spiky fur surrounding its neck.
Its fur sparks with electricity constantly; it can be soft to the touch or turn into sharp needles that can be fired when it is angered. Jolteon is able to gather negative ions from the atmosphere, using the resulting electricity to create lightning bolts of up to 10,000 volts. Its individual cells also create small electrical charges on their own, which can result in powerful electric-type attacks. It is very sensitive, which causes it to constantly charge as it quickly changes moods.

Tenth Purple Book published
06 January 2016
The Purple Book is an annual publication which focuses on the risks faced by Defined Benefit pension schemes. 2015 has shown that trends have remained stable despite changes as a result of the introduction of pensions freedoms.
This is the tenth edition of the Pensions Universe Risk Profile (The Purple Book), a joint annual publication by the Pension Protection Fund (the PPF) and The Pensions Regulator (the regulator). The Purple Book focuses on the risks faced by Defined Benefit (DB) pension schemes, predominantly in the private sector.
It shows that trends in DB pensions have remained stable, despite major shifts in the overall pensions landscape during 2015 as a result of pensions freedoms. With around 6,000 DB pension schemes in the UK, The Purple Book provides the most comprehensive view of the risks faced by these schemes.
