Chapter 62
|
|
|
1 And now it came to pass that when Moroni had received
this epistle his heart did take courage, and was filled with exceedingly
great joy because of the faithfulness of Pahoran, that he was not also a
traitor to the freedom and cause of his country.
|
|
|
2 But he did also mourn exceedingly because of the
iniquity of those who had driven Pahoran from the judgment-seat, yea, in fine
because of those who had rebelled against their country and also their God.
|
|
|
3 And it came to pass that Moroni took a small number of
men, according to the desire of Pahoran, and gave Lehi and Teancum command
over the remainder of his army, and took his march towards the land of
Gideon.
|
|
|
4 And he did raise the standard of liberty in whatsoever
place he did enter, and gained whatsoever force he could in all his march
towards the land of Gideon.
|
|
|
5 And it came to pass that thousands did flock unto his
standard, and did take up their swords in the defence of their
freedom, that they might not come into bondage.
|
The only pre-Columbian weapon I can find that was similar
to a sword was the macuahuitl which was made with a plank of wood similar in
shape to a cricket bat with obsidian blades mounted on the edges. It is
similar enough to a sword that it is often referred to as the Aztec sword.
However, the macuahuitl does not seem to fit the Book of
Mormon time frame. “Some groups of Central Mexico, principally in the
transition between the Early and the Late Post-Classic, probably
developed this weapon” (emphasis added, Dr. Marco Antonio Cervera Obregón, “The
macuahuitl: an innovative weapon of the Late Post-Classic in Mesoamerica”,
Arms & Armour, Vol.3, Nov. 2, 2006, p. 146, https://preview.tinyurl.com/y6n3mzct).
The Post-Classic period is between 900 CE and the Spanish conquest.
|
|
6 And thus, when Moroni had gathered together whatsoever
men he could in all his march, he came to the land of Gideon; and uniting his
forces with those of Pahoran they became exceedingly strong, even stronger
than the men of Pachus, who was the king of those dissenters who had driven
the freemen out of the land of Zarahemla and had taken possession of the
land.
|
|
|
7 And it came to pass that Moroni and Pahoran went down
with their armies into the land of Zarahemla, and went forth against the
city, and did meet the men of Pachus, insomuch that they did come to battle.
|
|
|
8 And behold, Pachus was slain and his men were taken
prisoners, and Pahoran was restored to his judgment-seat.
|
|
|
9 And the men of Pachus received their trial, according to
the law, and also those king-men who had been taken and cast into prison; and
they were executed according to the law; yea, those men of Pachus and those
king-men, whosoever would not take up arms in the defence of their country,
but would fight against it, were put to death.
|
|
|
10 And thus it became expedient that this law should be
strictly observed for the safety of their country; yea, and whosoever was
found denying their freedom was speedily executed according to the law.
|
|
|
11 And thus ended the thirtieth year of the reign of the
judges over the people of Nephi; Moroni and Pahoran having restored peace to
the land of Zarahemla, among their own people, having inflicted death upon
all those who were not true to the cause of freedom.
|
|
|
12 And it came to pass in the commencement of the thirty
and first year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Moroni
immediately caused that provisions should be sent, and also an army of six
thousand men should be sent unto Helaman, to assist him in preserving that
part of the land.
|
|
|
13 And he also caused that an army of six thousand men,
with a sufficient quantity of food, should be sent to the armies of Lehi and
Teancum. And it came to pass that this was done to fortify the land against
the Lamanites.
|
|
|
14 And it came to pass that Moroni and Pahoran, leaving a
large body of men in the land of Zarahemla, took their march with a large
body of men towards the land of Nephihah, being determined to overthrow the
Lamanites in that city.
|
|
|
15 And it came to pass that as they were marching towards
the land, they took a large body of men of the Lamanites, and slew many of
them, and took their provisions and their weapons of war.
|
|
|
16 And it came to pass after they had taken them, they
caused them to enter into a covenant that they would no more take up their
weapons of war against the Nephites.
|
|
|
17 And when they had entered into this covenant they sent
them to dwell with the people of Ammon, and they were in number about four
thousand who had not been slain.
|
|
|
18 And it came to pass that when they had sent them away
they pursued their march towards the land of Nephihah. And it came to pass
that when they had come to the city of Nephihah, they did pitch their tents
in the plains of Nephihah, which is near the city of Nephihah.
|
|
|
19 Now Moroni was desirous that the Lamanites should come
out to battle against them, upon the plains; but the Lamanites, knowing of
their exceedingly great courage, and beholding the greatness of their
numbers, therefore they durst not come out against them; therefore they did
not come to battle in that day.
|
|
|
20 And when the night came, Moroni went forth in the
darkness of the night, and came upon the top of the wall to spy out in what
part of the city the Lamanites did camp with their army.
|
|
|
21 And it came to pass that they were on the east, by the
entrance; and they were all asleep. And now Moroni returned to his army, and
caused that they should prepare in haste strong cords and ladders, to be let
down from the top of the wall into the inner part of the wall.
|
|
|
22 And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his men should
march forth and come upon the top of the wall, and let themselves down into
that part of the city, yea, even on the west, where the Lamanites did not
camp with their armies.
|
|
|
23 And it came to pass that they were all let down into
the city by night, by the means of their strong cords and their ladders; thus
when the morning came they were all within the walls of the city.
|
How likely is it that there was not a single guard who
noticed the armies sneaking into the city over the walls until morning came?
|
|
24 And now, when the Lamanites awoke and saw that the
armies of Moroni were within the walls, they were affrighted exceedingly,
insomuch that they did flee out by the pass.
|
|
|
25 And now when Moroni saw that they were fleeing before
him, he did cause that his men should march forth against them, and slew
many, and surrounded many others, and took them prisoners; and the remainder
of them fled into the land of Moroni, which was in the borders by the
seashore.
|
|
|
26 Thus had Moroni and Pahoran obtained the possession of
the city of Nephihah without the loss of one soul; and there were many of the
Lamanites who were slain.
|
|
|
27 Now it came to pass that many of the Lamanites that
were prisoners were desirous to join the people of Ammon and become a free
people.
|
|
|
28 And it came to pass that as many as were desirous, unto
them it was granted according to their desires.
|
|
|
29 Therefore, all the prisoners of the Lamanites did join
the people of Ammon, and did begin to labor exceedingly, tilling the ground,
raising all manner of grain, and flocks and herds of every kind; and thus
were the Nephites relieved from a great burden; yea, insomuch that they were
relieved from all the prisoners of the Lamanites.
|
|
|
30 Now it came to pass that Moroni, after he had obtained
possession of the city of Nephihah, having taken many prisoners, which did
reduce the armies of the Lamanites exceedingly, and having regained many of
the Nephites who had been taken prisoners, which did strengthen the army of
Moroni exceedingly; therefore Moroni went forth from the land of Nephihah to
the land of Lehi.
|
|
|
31 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites saw that
Moroni was coming against them, they were again frightened and fled before
the army of Moroni.
|
|
|
32 And it came to pass that Moroni and his army did pursue
them from city to city, until they were met by Lehi and Teancum; and the
Lamanites fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the
seashore, until they came to the land of Moroni.
|
|
|
33 And the armies of the Lamanites were all gathered
together, insomuch that they were all in one body in the land of Moroni. Now
Ammoron, the king of the Lamanites, was also with them.
|
|
|
34 And it came to pass that Moroni and Lehi and Teancum
did encamp with their armies round about in the borders of the land of
Moroni, insomuch that the Lamanites were encircled about in the borders by
the wilderness on the south, and in the borders by the wilderness on the
east.
|
|
|
35 And thus they did encamp for the night. For behold, the
Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary because of the greatness of the
march; therefore they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the night-time,
save it were Teancum; for he was exceedingly angry with Ammoron, insomuch
that he considered that Ammoron, and Amalickiah his brother, had been the
cause of this great and lasting war between them and the Lamanites, which had
been the cause of so much war and bloodshed, yea, and so much famine.
|
|
|
36 And it came to pass that Teancum in his anger did go
forth into the camp of the Lamanites, and did let himself down over the walls
of the city. And he went forth with a cord, from place to place, insomuch
that he did find the king; and he did cast a javelin at him, which did pierce
him near the heart. But behold, the king did awaken his servants before he
died, insomuch that they did pursue Teancum, and slew him.
|
|
|
37 Now it came to pass that when Lehi and Moroni knew that
Teancum was dead they were exceedingly sorrowful; for behold, he had been a
man who had fought valiantly for his country, yea, a true friend to liberty;
and he had suffered very many exceedingly sore afflictions. But behold, he
was dead, and had gone the way of all the earth.
|
|
|
38 Now it came to pass that Moroni marched forth on the
morrow, and came upon the Lamanites, insomuch that they did slay them with a
great slaughter; and they did drive them out of the land; and they did flee,
even that they did not return at that time against the Nephites.
|
|
|
39 And thus ended the thirty and first year of the reign
of the judges over the people of Nephi; and thus they had had wars, and
bloodsheds, and famine, and affliction, for the space of many years.
|
|
|
40 And there had been murders, and contentions, and
dissensions, and all manner of iniquity among the people of Nephi; nevertheless
for the righteous’ sake, yea, because of the prayers of the righteous, they
were spared.
|
|
|
41 But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of
the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened,
because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened
because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before
God, even in the depth of humility.
|
|
|
42 And it came to pass that after Moroni had fortified
those parts of the land which were most exposed to the Lamanites, until they
were sufficiently strong, he returned to the city of Zarahemla; and also
Helaman returned to the place of his inheritance; and there was once more
peace established among the people of Nephi.
|
|
|
43 And Moroni yielded up the command of his armies into
the hands of his son, whose name was Moronihah; and he retired to his own
house that he might spend the remainder of his days in peace.
|
|
|
44 And Pahoran did return to his judgment-seat; and
Helaman did take upon him again to preach unto the people the word of God;
for because of so many wars and contentions it had become expedient that a
regulation should be made again in the church.
|
|
|
45 Therefore, Helaman and his brethren went forth, and did
declare the word of God with much power unto the convincing of many people of
their wickedness, which did cause them to repent of their sins and to be
baptized unto the Lord their God.
|
|
|
46 And it came to pass that they did establish again the
church of God, throughout all the land.
|
|
|
47 Yea, and regulations were made concerning the law. And
their judges, and their chief judges were chosen.
|
|
|
48 And the people of Nephi began to prosper again in the
land, and began to multiply and to wax exceedingly strong again in the land.
And they began to grow exceedingly rich.
|
|
|
49 But notwithstanding their riches, or their strength, or
their prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of their eyes; neither
were they slow to remember the Lord their God; but they did humble themselves
exceedingly before him.
|
|
|
50 Yea, they did remember how great things the Lord had
done for them, that he had delivered them from death, and from bonds, and
from prisons, and from all manner of afflictions, and he had delivered them
out of the hands of their enemies.
|
|
|
51 And they did pray unto the Lord their God continually,
insomuch that the Lord did bless them, according to his word, so that they
did wax strong and prosper in the land.
|
|
|
52 And it came to pass that all these things were done.
And Helaman died, in the thirty and fifth year of the reign of the judges
over the people of Nephi.

"You don't tug on Superman's cape, You don't spit into the wind, You don't pull the mask off that 'ol Lone Ranger, and You don't mess around with Jim!" - Jim Croce
Jim Croce died entirely too young, so he can be forgiven for not including Harrison Ford in the above lyric.  Most people don't mind seeing Die Hard VII, as long as our most stalwart hero plays the lead. The movie poster lets you know what you're buying, since it's one big close-up of Ford. And who could make a better president? Harrison might even be able to pull in enough votes to get the real job, but I doubt that he would want to "step down," let alone suffer a horrendous pay cut.
Simple enough: perennial wacko villain Gary Oldman hijacks Air Force One and the prez battles his way out against impossible odds. On the ground, Glenn Close makes a good vice president, dealing with the terrorists, the cabinet, the military, and scariest of all - the press. William Macy didn't get his Oscar for Fargo, but he did get more work. Here he plays a general involved in much of the onboard action. Poor Jurgen Prochnow gets underused as a captured Russian general - to be traded for the president. Special effects? - the (2nd) best reason for reprising Die Hard is an imaginative array of stunts and CGI aerial sequences.
The movie has the obligatory innocents - the prez's wife and daughter and executed hostages from the White House staff. You also have to swallow that the Russian terrorists can get onboard in the first place. Here, a Secret Service agent is the inside man, but his motivation is never explained. Small quibbles, though, since such underpinning is invariably present in this genre, and this is certainly one of the better efforts. Die Hard I is still my favorite, though..Gary Oldman could learn a few things from Alan Rickman about villainy (and picking varied roles, too).

"WHO DO YOU BELIEVE?
by Charmane
Sing
Andrew Jarecki's documentary,
Capturing the Friedmans, is a brilliant investigation
of the concept of "credibility." We all agree that
honesty is a cherished value that is embedded deeply in our culture.
Without honesty, we would be unable to come to a conclusion on
many matters because we can't be present at all places at all
times. As a result, we must rely on the words of others. The
underlying value of honesty is in its ability to allow us to
trust, or distrust, statements made by another party about these
events. In some situations, one might be unable to grasp what
the "truth" is or determine who is telling the truth.
This is the dilemma that Capturing the Friedmans confronts.
Capturing the Friedmans
is a film that consists of numerous interviews, home videos and
snippets of news coverage from 1987 about the Friedman family
of Great Neck, New York. The father, Arnold Friedman, and his
youngest son, Jesse, were both alleged to have molested numerous
young male students enrolled in their computer class. The details
surrounding the charges constantly conflict with one another
throughout the film. At the end of the day, the viewer would
be left wondering what really happened in those computer classes
and who was telling the truth.
To better understand how we, as viewers, draw our conclusions
as to what the "truth" is, it is essential to understand
how we make judgments of credibility. There are four major factors
that assist us to evaluate whether a statement or information
given to us is true. The four factors are as follows:
1.  Who is telling the message,
3. How the message is being told, and
4. How much you know about the subject matter.
|
To begin, an important
aspect in evaluating a statement is the content of the message.
If a statement sounds outrageous and unrealistic, the recipient
of the message would most likely disregard the statement because
there is minimal, if any, value or truth to it. For example,
in Capturing the Friedmans, the police stated that there
was pornography everywhere in the house and that the pornography
magazines were not hidden. It is difficult for a viewer to accept
this statement because it sounds ridiculous that pornography
would be highly visible around the house. If that is the case,
one wonders why haven't the parents noticed the magazines when
they picked their children up from their computer classes? Therefore,
if a statement sounds far-fetched, it is unlikely that one will
believe the statement.
However, if there is a doubt to the truth of its content, the
person delivering the message can be influential to one's decision.
For example, if the person communicating the message has a reputation
of being honest and reliable, I would probably believe her statement
over the same message given by a habitual liar. One might also
believe a statement given by a person of authority. For example,
when the judge and the police believed that Arnold and Jesse
were guilty, one might be more inclined to conclude that they
were guilty as well. Hence, the status and the reputation of
the person making the statement are important criteria that we
rely on when we evaluate the credibility of a statement.
In Capturing the Friedmans, there were numerous sources
of information and various people commenting on Arnold and Jesse.
Based on their different standpoints, one might draw different
conclusions from their statements. The primary people who provided
commentaries in the film were the accused themselves and their
family members. When Arnold's wife, Elaine, was under pressure
by her sons to say that Arnold was innocent and when time after
time she refused to do so, one might conclude that Arnold was
probably guilty. This is because the viewer expects the last
person to provide negative statements about the accused to be
his wife. Conversely, the viewer may also be skeptical at comments
provided by people who are close to the accused or comments given
by the accused himself. For example, the viewer might conclude
that Jesse's brother, David, and Arnold's brother, Howard, were
merely vouching for their family. Therefore, one might expect
bias in their statements and as a result, view their statements
to be unreliable.
On the other hand, viewers may be convinced if they were given
the information by the media. The media is capable of influencing
our view of the world and what we perceive to be true. Thus applying
this concept to Capturing the Friedmans, the extensive
news coverage on the Friedman case has the ability to influence
the community, including the judge and many parents, that Arnold
and Jesse are pedophiles and sexual offenders.
The form in which the message is being publicized through the
media will also have an impact to the reliability of the statement.
In other words, the medium of communication chosen has an effect
on the strength of the statement. For example, would you believe
a witness if you heard his oral testimony? Perhaps. Would you
be more influenced if you not only heard the witness' testimony,
but was also given a photograph to support what he was saying?
Most likely, you would have a more affirmative answer as to whether
you believe or disbelieve the witness' story. It is more convincing
to the recipient when there are visual images, such as photographs
and videos, to enhance or verify a statement.
In my opinion, the home videos shown in Capturing the Friedmans
revealing the close father-son relationship between Arnold and
his three sons and also David's "private" recording
of himself raving about the accusations against his father and
brother were highly convincing evidence of Arnold and Jesse's
innocence. This is because home videos are generally seen to
be authentic. The people being videotaped tend to put their masks
down and are their true selves because most of the time, they
feel comfortable with the person who is holding the camera. There
is also an unspoken expectation that the home videos are to be
privately viewed amongst family and friends and not by the public.
Therefore, there is no reason for a person to lie in a home video.
This is precisely why viewers may question whether Arnold and
Jesse did commit such horrible crimes because the home videos
seem to favour their innocence.
Finally, the amount of knowledge viewers have on the subject
matter will have an effect on the ultimate decision of whether
to believe a statement or not. Generally, the more you know about
a subject matter, the better you are able to assess the credibility
of a statement. However, there appears to be an exception for
Capturing the Friedmans. It was nearly impossible to have
a concrete conclusion from the film as to what truly happened.
In fact, the viewer's opinion and conclusion constantly changes
as new evidence surfaces. For that reason, credibility is a concept
that is not permanent and is capable of changing depending on
the amount of information known at a certain point in time. For
example, when Howard insisted that Arnold never had sexual relations
with him when they were younger, I was convinced by him until
the camera moved back and showed Howard's partner sitting beside
him. Then one wonders how truthful Howard was and how the revelation
of Howard's sexual preference changed the viewer's decision.
Perhaps Howard's sexuality inferred that a sexual relationship
between Howard and Arnold (as described in Arnold's letter to
Debbie) was possible and was not completely unrealistic. Therefore,
the additional information of Howard's sexual preference has
the power to change our views on an issue and as a result, it
caused my suspicion of Howard's story.
The amount of information the recipient has, the method of communication,
the messenger delivering the statement and the substance of the
message are four aspects that are interrelated and are all at
play together when we make judgments of credibility. In addition,
we also decide what is credible based on personal beliefs and
possibly make judgments based on what we want to believe rather
than what the evidence points to. Therefore, it is important
to take note of our own bias when we make judgments of credibility.
For example, when I compared the two former computer students'
testimonies in the film, I was swayed to accept one statement
over the other partly because of the difference in their physical
appearance. The former computer student sitting in an office
wearing business attire appeared more credible than the other
former computer student lying on his coach in his casual T-shirt
and shorts at home. As commonly known, appearances may be deceiving.
It is possible that the former computer student with the casual
attire was truthful whereas the other former student was not.
Hence, one must be careful not to allow personal bias to play
a highly influential factor when we make important decisions,
especially when a person's liberty is at stake.
Overall, there are many factors simultaneously influencing our
judgments of credibility. Our perception of what is "true"
may change throughout time as we, ourselves, change and as new
information arises. In Capturing the Friedmans, the viewer
will most likely leave the theatre wondering whether they will
ever know what the truth is and whether there is more information
for them to uncover. Whichever conclusion one might draw from
the film, it is probably just as good of a guess as mine.

When using the search facility, if the phrase appears in a long forum thread (Robin shouldn't create such popular discussions), the search only returns the first page of the thread. You then have to manually step through to find which page of the thread contains the required phrase. This is a real pain for a thread with 10+ pages. Is there an easier way to do this?

Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
I agree it's a pain, and I don't know of a work-around. I think it's possible for the administrator to set the number of comments per page on a global basis, so probably the easiest solution for Trystan to implement (if it is indeed even possible), would be an optional switch to deliver the whole thread as one page - then your browser search would handle it without difficulty.
(i.e. first 1 2 3 last all)
OK, not as neat as keeping the pagination as it is and having the search deliver the correct sub-page, but better than what we have.
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
Robin shouldn't create such popular discussions
Er, Sorreee!!
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
I've ust set it to 300 posts per page up from 50, is that better? On the topic of search, Id like to replace the drupal search with a google site search. I usually use google to search the site is seems much better at it. I just type openenergymonitor and then what I want to find.
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
So my longest thread has now shrunk to a mere 3 pages :( :p
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
No doubt you'll soon rectify that...
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
still.. 3 pages of 300 posts each!!
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
Many thanks Trystan!
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
> Many thanks Trystan!
300 thanks for Trystan. Just to see that feature working.
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
there is a trick with google search for those that haven't yet come across it;.
Type this syntax in the google search box:
will search this site only, hint: you can use it for other sites too:)
hope that helps.
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
When I tried with the "site:" prefix, Google found nothing, but this search:
openergymonitor.org Router
came up with two hits. Not sure why it didn't find any more ...
Re: Searching in Long Forum Threads
? ? ? I got 1300
The syntax for the query should be router site:openenergymonitor.org
See here Obviously most people never need most of these, but it's worth remembering they exist for that rare occasion when you need one of them.
Of course, I could rub it in: Try this instead

| Apartment Friendly | 5 starsThey are good little dogs for apartment life. The Chihuahua likes warm weather and dislikes the cold. They need space just like any other dog. Because they are small does not mean they can be kept in a very small area. |
| Barking Tendencies | 5 starsFrequent |
| Cat Friendly | 5 stars |
| Child Friendly | 1 starsNot Good with Kids: In isolation, this dog breed might not be the best option for kids. However, to mitigate the risks, have the puppy grow up with kids and provide it with plenty of pleasant and relaxed experiences with them. This breed is also friendly toward other pets and shy toward strangers. |
| Dog Friendly | 3 stars |
| Exercise Needs | 1 starsAlthough it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, these are active little dogs that need a daily walk. Play can take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display a wide array of behavior problems, as well as neurotic issues. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large, fenced-in yard. |
| Grooming | 1 starsLow Maintenance: They really need very little grooming due to their short hair. The Long Coat Chihuahua also needs occasional brushing but still requires minimal grooming. Their small nails should be trimmed regularly to avoid overgrowth and cracking. Their ears should be checked regularly to avoid a buildup of wax and debris which can result in an infection. Providing hard bones and chew toys will help strengthen gums and remove tartar. Teeth should be brushed regularly. |
| Health Issues | 4 starsHypoallergenic: No |
| Intelligence | 3 starsRanking: #67. (See All Rankings) |
| Playfulness | 3 stars |
| Shedding Level | 1 starsMinimal Shedding: This dog will shed a negligible amount. Recommended for owners who do not want to deal with dog hair in their cars and homes. |
| Stranger Friendly | 3 stars |
| Trainability | 3 starsModerately Easy Training: Although they are usually not trained because of their small size, Chihuahuas are eager to learn. The Chihuahua may require patience and effort to housebreak; for this reason they are sometimes only paper trained. |
| Watchdog Ability | 3 stars |

| Overview |
|---|
|
The Chihuahua is graceful, small and compact; it is slightly longer than it is tall. It has a saucy expression and an alert, terrier-like attitude. It should move out at a swift pace with good reach and drive. Its coat can be smooth, with soft, glossy hair or long, with soft straight or wavy hair and fringed ears. The saucy Chihuahua has earned its place as a favored toy dog because of its intense devotion to a single person. It is reserved with strangers but good with other household dogs and pets. Some try to be protective, but they are not very effective. Some may be quite bold; others may be timid. It is often temperamental. Some bark. |
| History |
| The Chihuahua (affectionately called 'Chi') may descend either from tiny, hairless Chinese dogs or the South American 'Techichi', a favored pet which was buried with the deceased in the hope they would lead the way to the afterlife. Modern Chihuahuas hail from Chihuahua, Mexico. They are the smallest dog breed and the oldest North American breed. They rocketed to popularity in the U.S when famous Latin musician Xavier Cugat made a Chihuahua his constant public companion, and remain extremely popular to this day. Famous Chihuahuas include the Taco Bell Chihuahua, Ren from 'Ren and Stimpy', and Ducky, the 2007 ‘Guinness Book of World Records’ winner for ‘World's Smallest Living Dog’. |

Dear Coleen: My partner’s parents loved her ex - but they won’t accept me
They’ve refused to meet me and believe I’m responsible for putting the nail in the coffin of her marriage
by Coleen Nolan, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/coleen-nolan/Dear Coleen
About a year ago I met a woman through a local cycling club and we hit it off. We were just friends and I knew she was married from the start.
We got to know each other better and started going on rides together, just the two of us, when we had some spare time.
She confided in me that her marriage was on the rocks and that it was a tough time, and getting out on the bike was really helping.
I suppose she felt she could talk to me and I was always ready to listen. To cut a long story short, we ended up falling in love, but nothing happened between us until she’d left her husband and moved out.
The long and short of it is, we’re now together, but her parents and the rest of her family don’t want to know. They’ve refused to meet me and believe I’m responsible for putting the nail in the coffin of her marriage.
She’s tried to explain to them that’s not the case and that her marriage was over before we met, but they don’t want to hear it. I think they really liked her ex and were upset when the marriage ended.
I’m not sure how it’s going to affect our relationship because my girlfriend obviously loves her family and doesn’t want to cut them off, but I know she’s finding it stressful.
Coleen says
I realise this won’t sound very helpful, but I’m not sure there’s much you can do if your girlfriend has already explained the circumstances to her family, other than to wait for the dust to settle. They’re hurt and disappointed and looking for someone to blame – and you’re in the firing line!
However, don’t let it ruin your relationship. The two of you need to be strong and tough it out, and hope they come round. That will enable you to wipe the slate clean and start again.
In the meantime, I think it’s important not to badmouth her family because that’s only going to cause arguments between the two of you. Don’t make her choose between you and her family.
Yes, it’s not an ideal situation, but if you really love each other and want to be together, then you need to work through it together.
And ask your girlfriend if there’s anything you can do to make things less stressful, but it’s really down to her to work on her family and help them to see she’s happy and that she made the right decision ending her marriage.
Family members often become very attached to their children’s partners, so when a relationship ends they also have to mourn the end of their friendship with that person.

Our primary development platforms are Linux and FreeBSD.
We expect the NTPsec code to run with at most minor port changes on Unixlike operating systems conforming to POSIX.1-2001 and ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (aka C99) and supporting ntp_gettime(2)/ntp_adjtime(2). Python 2.5 is also required. We will fully support these platforms.
We have an actively maintained port to Mac OS X. Basic testing has been performed and we are looking for people with OS X skill and interest to help support this platform and perform detailed testing.
We intend to port to Windows, but that may not land in early releases. The work requires we first sort out the threading code in NTPsec and then review the Windows support and how it is integrated into the code base.
Hardware with 32 or 64 bits and any endianness is supported.
NTP Classic kept legacy support for a lot of very ancient Unix big iron, and for other systems such as VMS. But increasing security requires reducing complexity and attack surface. We have almost completely removed legacy Unix support, and our direction is towards dropping the remainder (along with unused or rarely-used features) in order to achieve secure simplicity.
If you are a stranded legacy user with security and reliability requirements strong enough that only NTPsec will do, our team is open to working with active port maintainers who will take responsibility for specific target environments not fully conformant to the POSIX.1-2001/C99/Python-2.5 combination, or for exotic hardware.


Samoa reels from measles outbreak, death toll rises to 20
The Pacific island has declared a state of emergency and closed schools as it tries to contain the outbreak.
: CORRECTION: An earlier version of the story had mentioned Fiji's measles vaccination coverage rate at 81 percent while it is 94 percent. The error is regretted.
The death toll from a measles epidemic in Samoa has risen to 20 as the outbreak rages out of control, with hundreds of new cases emerging daily, official data released on Friday showed.
The government said on Friday that there were 1,644 cases, 202 of which were diagnosed since Thursday, mostly affecting young children.
More:
It said the number of deaths had hit 20, including 19 children under four years old.
An additional 11 children are critically ill in hospital.
Samoa has declared a state of emergency as it tries to contain the outbreak, launching a compulsory vaccination programme, closing schools and banning children from public gatherings.
Australia and New Zealand have sent medical specialists and supplies, while the United Nations children's agency UNICEF is distributing more than 110,000 doses of measles vaccine to Samoa's population of about 200,000.
Tonga and Fiji have also experienced outbreaks, although much less severe and without any deaths so far due to higher vaccination rates among the population.
Global uptick
Children are the most vulnerable to measles, which typically causes a rash and fever but can also lead to blindness, brain damage and death.
Samoa has closed all schools, kindergartens and the country's only university in a bid to halt the virus' spread.
UNICEF estimates Samoa's vaccination rate is 28-40 percent, while in Tonga and Fiji they are 99 percent and 94 percent respectively.
The country's vaccination programme was briefly suspended last year when two babies died shortly after being given the MMR vaccine.
Subsequent investigations found the problem was not the widely used vaccine but the fact that the nurses administering prepared it incorrectly.
The outbreaks in the Pacific are part of a global surge in measles, with the World Health Organization (WHO) recording three times as many cases in 2019 than 2018.
The WHO says that while misinformation has made parents hesitant to vaccinate their children, poor health services in some countries have also contributed, as well as access to these services being disrupted by conflict or natural disasters.

UV COATINGS
UV coating, or ultraviolet coating, is a very glossy, shiny liquid coating applied to a printed paper surface and cured on a printing press or special machine using ultraviolet light. The coating hardens, or cures when it is exposed to the ultra violet radiation. UV coating makes your printed piece eye catching, and is perfect for products such as postcards, hand-out sheets, presentation folders, business cards and catalogs, or any product that can benefit from a rich, glossy and dramatic look. Our high-gloss flood UV coating can even be applied to synthetic paper .
Ultraviolet coating has several advantages over other coating methods such as aqueous coating or varnish. They include:
When UV is used on deep, rich colors, like blues and rich blacks, the result is an almost wet appearance. This can be highly effective with image-rich projects, like product catalogs or photography brochures. The stunning shine it creates is why it is so popular for certain designs and products.
If your printed piece is going to be handed out or travel through the mail, the combination of a visually appealing piece and durability makes UV coating a great effect for postcards, brochures or business cards. The UV coating allows the mailed piece to resist smudging and marking and allows it to maintain a professional, high quality appearance due to an extremely hard finish, one known for being both chemical and abrasion resistant
UV coatings make details pop and stand out and are perfect for photographic images and company logos.
UV coatings are free of solvents and do not emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs when cured. Paper with UV coatings can be recycled with all of your other paper.
By drying so quickly, the use of UV coating helps reduce production time, enabling earlier shipping and delivery times.
UV LED Coating:
UV LED curing solutions are being utilized in the coating industry because they offer lower operating costs, enhanced system capabilities due to being a solid-state device, and environmental benefits of safer workplace environment and no hazardous materials. UV LED technology drastically reduces energy consumption and significantly reduces work-piece surface temperature. Machines can be made more compact due to small form factor; speed can be increased due to consistent UV output; and the diffuse nature of UV LED light can be used to more effectively cure shaped surfaces which previously required multiple lamps at various angles. UV curable coating applications include: wood and vinyl, automotive, musical instruments, fixtures and many others.
UV Curing Applications:
Wood
UV LED curing technology is utilized in the wood coatings industry for applications such as edge coating, roller coating and digital printing. UV LED technology drastically reduces energy consumption and significantly reduces work-piece surface temperature.
Automotive
UV curing has been used for years in several areas of the automotive production process. UV provides near-instant curing of functional and decorative coatings. And the lightweight materials used in today’s automobiles benefit from the low temperatures enabled by UV LED technology.
Industrial
Countless manufacturing processes make use of the benefits of UV curing. Applications range from manual curing of the adhesives used during sub-component assembly, to high speed curing of coatings and colorings of the finished products.

Altona, which is but a suburb of Hamburg, is the terminus of the Kiel railway, which was to carry us to the Belts. In twenty minutes we were in Holstein.
At half–past six the carriage stopped at the station; my uncle's numerous packages, his voluminous impedimenta, were unloaded, removed, labelled, weighed, put into the luggage vans, and at seven we were seated face to face in our compartment. The whistle sounded, the engine started, we were off.
Was I resigned? No, not yet. Yet the cool morning air and the scenes on the road, rapidly changed by the swiftness of the train, drew me away somewhat from my sad reflections.
As for the Professor's reflections, they went far in advance of the swiftest express. We were alone in the carriage, but we sat in silence. My uncle examined all his pockets and his travelling bag with the minutest care. I saw that he had not forgotten the smallest matter of detail.
Amongst other documents, a sheet of paper, carefully folded, bore the heading of the Danish consulate with the signature of W. Christiensen, consul at Hamburg and the Professor's friend. With this we possessed the proper introductions to the Governor of Iceland.
I also observed the famous document most carefully laid up in a secret pocket in his portfolio. I bestowed a malediction upon it, and then proceeded to examine the country.
It was a very long succession of uninteresting loamy and fertile flats, a very easy country for the construction of railways, and propitious for the laying–down of these direct level lines so dear to railway companies.
I had no time to get tired of the monotony; for in three hours we stopped at Kiel, close to the sea.
The luggage being labelled for Copenhagen, we had no occasion to look after it. Yet the Professor watched every article with jealous vigilance, until all were safe on board. There they disappeared in the hold.
My uncle, notwithstanding his hurry, had so well calculated the relations between the train and the steamer that we had a whole day to spare. The steamer Ellenora, did not start until night. Thence sprang a feverish state of excitement in which the impatient irascible traveller devoted to perdition the railway directors and the steamboat companies and the governments which allowed such intolerable slowness. I was obliged to act chorus to him when he attacked the captain of the Ellenora upon this subject. The captain disposed of us summarily.
At Kiel, as elsewhere, we must do something to while away the time. What with walking on the verdant shores of the bay within which nestles the little town, exploring the thick woods which make it look like a nest embowered amongst thick foliage, admiring the villas, each provided with a little bathing house, and moving about and grumbling, at last ten o'clock came.
The heavy coils of smoke from the Ellenora's funnel unrolled in the sky, the bridge shook with the quivering of the struggling steam; we were on board, and owners for the time of two berths, one over the other, in the only saloon cabin on board.
At a quarter past the moorings were loosed and the throbbing steamer pursued her way over the dark waters of the Great Belt.
The night was dark; there was a sharp breeze and a rough sea, a few lights appeared on shore through the thick darkness; later on, I cannot tell when, a dazzling light from some lighthouse threw a bright stream of fire along the waves; and this is all I can remember of this first portion of our sail.
At seven in the morning we landed at Korsor, a small town on the west coast of Zealand. There we were transferred from the boat to another line of railway, which took us by just as flat a country as the plain of Holstein.
Three hours' travelling brought us to the capital of Denmark.  In his impatience I believe he was trying to accelerate the train with his feet.
At last he discerned a stretch of sea.
"The Sound!" he cried.
At our left was a huge building that looked like a hospital.
"That's a lunatic asylum," said one of or travelling companions.
Very good! thought I, just the place we want to end our days in; and great as it is, that asylum is not big enough to contain all Professor Liedenbrock's madness!
At ten in the morning, at last, we set our feet in Copenhagen; the luggage was put upon a carriage and taken with ourselves to the Phoenix Hotel in Breda Gate. This took half an hour, for the station is out of the town. Then my uncle, after a hasty toilet, dragged me after him. The porter at the hotel could speak German and English; but the Professor, as a polyglot, questioned him in good Danish, and it was in the same language that that personage directed him to the Museum of Northern Antiquities.
The curator of this curious establishment, in which wonders are gathered together out of which the ancient history of the country might be reconstructed by means of its stone weapons, its cups and its jewels, was a learned savant, the friend of the Danish consul at Hamburg, Professor Thomsen.
My uncle had a cordial letter of introduction to him. As a general rule one savant greets another with coolness. But here the case was different. M. Thomsen, like a good friend, gave the Professor Liedenbrock a cordial greeting, and he even vouchsafed the same kindness to his nephew. It is hardly necessary to say the secret was sacredly kept from the excellent curator; we were simply disinterested travellers visiting Iceland out of harmless curiosity.
M. Thomsen placed his services at our disposal, and we visited the quays with the object of finding out the next vessel to sail.
I was yet in hopes that there would be no means of getting to Iceland. But there was no such luck. A small Danish schooner, the Valkyria, was to set sail for Rejkiavik on the 2nd of June. The captain, M. Bjarne, was on board. His intending passenger was so joyful that he almost squeezed his hands till they ached. That good man was rather surprised at his energy. To him it seemed a very simple thing to go to Iceland, as that was his business; but to my uncle it was sublime. The worthy captain took advantage of his enthusiasm to charge double fares; but we did not trouble ourselves about mere trifles. .
"You must be on board on Tuesday, at seven in the morning," said Captain Bjarne, after having pocketed more dollars than were his due.
Then we thanked M. Thomsen for his kindness, "and we returned to the Phoenix Hotel.
"It's all right, it's all right," my uncle repeated. "How fortunate we are to have found this boat ready for sailing. Now let us have some breakfast and go about the town."
We went first to Kongens–nye–Torw, an irregular square in which are two innocent–looking guns, which need not alarm any one. Close by, at No. 5, there was a French "restaurant," kept by a cook of the name of Vincent, where we had an ample breakfast for four marks each (2s. 4d.).
Then I took a childish pleasure in exploring the city; my uncle let me take him with me, but he took notice of nothing, neither the insignificant king's palace, nor the pretty seventeenth century bridge, which spans the canal before the museum, nor that immense cenotaph of Thorwaldsen's, adorned with horrible mural painting, and containing within it a collection of the sculptor's works, nor in a fine park the toylike chateau of Rosenberg, nor the beautiful renaissance edifice of the Exchange, nor its spire composed of the twisted tails of four bronze dragons, nor the great windmill on the ramparts, whose huge arms dilated in the sea breeze like the sails of a ship.
What delicious walks we should have had together, my pretty Virlandaise and I, along the harbour where the two–deckers and the frigate slept peaceably by the red roofing of the warehouse, by the green banks of the strait, through the deep shades of the trees amongst which the fort is half concealed, where the guns are thrusting out their black throats between branches of alder and willow.
But, alas! Gräuben was far away; and I never hoped to see her again.
But if my uncle felt no attraction towards these romantic scenes he was very much struck with the aspect of a certain church spire situated in the island of Amak, which forms the south–west quarter of Copenhagen.
I was ordered to direct my feet that way; I embarked on a small steamer which plies on the canals, and in a few minutes she touched the quay of the dockyard.
After crossing a few narrow streets where some convicts, in trousers half yellow and half grey, were at work under the orders of the gangers, we arrived at the Vor Frelsers Kirk. There was nothing remarkable about the church; but there was a reason why its tall spire had attracted the Professor's attention. Starting from the top of the tower, an external staircase wound around the spire, the spirals circling up into the sky.
"Let us get to the top," said my uncle.
"I shall be dizzy," I said.
"The more reason why we should go up; we must get used to it."

I had to obey. A keeper who lived at the other end of the street handed us the key, and the ascent began.
My uncle went ahead with a light step. I followed him not without alarm, for my head was very apt to feel dizzy; I possessed neither the equilibrium of an eagle nor his fearless nature.
As long as we were protected on the inside of the winding staircase up the tower, all was well enough; but after toiling up a hundred and fifty steps the fresh air came to salute my face, and we were on the leads of the tower. There the aerial staircase began its gyrations, only guarded by a thin iron rail, and the narrowing steps seemed to ascend into infinite space!
"Never shall I be able to do it," I said.
"Don't be a coward; come up, sir"; said my uncle with the coldest cruelty.
I had to follow, clutching at every step. The keen air made me giddy; I felt the spire rocking with every gust of wind; my knees began to fail; soon I was crawling on my knees, then creeping on my stomach; I closed my eyes; I seemed to be lost in space.
At last I reached the apex, with the assistance of my uncle dragging me up by the collar.
"Look down!" he cried. "Look down well! You must take a lesson
in abysses."
I opened my eyes. I saw houses squashed flat as if they had all fallen down from the skies; a smoke fog seemed to drown them. Over my head ragged clouds were drifting past, and by an optical inversion they seemed stationary, while the steeple, the ball and I were all spinning along with fantastic speed. Far away on one side was the green country, on the other the sea sparkled, bathed in sunlight. The Sound stretched away to Elsinore, dotted with a few white sails, like sea–gulls' wings; and in the misty east and away to the north–east lay outstretched the faintly–shadowed shores of Sweden. All this immensity of space whirled and wavered, fluctuating beneath my eyes.
But I was compelled to rise, to stand up, to look. My first lesson in dizziness lasted an hour. When I got permission to come down and feel the solid street pavements I was afflicted with severe lumbago.
"To–morrow we will do it again," said the Professor.
And it was so; for five days in succession, I was obliged to undergo this anti–vertiginous exercise; and whether I would or not, I made some improvement in the art of "lofty contemplations."

Hello.
My name is Will. I am a data scientist and applied mathematician living in Vancouver, BC.
In my previous academic life, I was interested stochasticity and nonlinear dynamical systems. My doctoral thesis was about systematic methods of simplifying complex random dynamical models to aid in computer simulations and analysis.
I used to analyse the mathematical models underlying online casino games and test the statistics of random number generators for a living. Trust me, unless you have an insider or perfect knowledge of the RNG, you can't beat the house.
Ask me why the normal distribution shows up in (almost) every statistical modelling problem... or read about it below.
The normal distribution shows up everywhere in scientific and statistical research. An obvious question to ask is: why? Why would this distribution be the one to manifest all over the place? One could simply quote the central limit theorem, but I find that unsatisfying. A better answer to that question is "because it is a maximizer of entropy". This can be shown using methods from calculus of variations.
The Lagrangian of entropy, $L$, can be constructed as follows:
$$
\begin{align}
L[\rho] &= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}S[\rho]\,dx + \lambda_{0}\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\rho\,dx - 1 \right)\\
&\quad+ \lambda_{1}\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}x^{2}\rho\,dx - \sigma^{2} \right)\,dx
\end{align}
$$
where the terms with $\lambda_{0},\,\lambda_{1}$ coefficients represent the normalization and finite variance constraints of the solution $\rho = \rho(x)$.
Similarly to the rules of standard calculus, we can differentiate $L$ and set the derivative equal to zero in order to determine an optimum functional argument. Taking the functional derivative gives
$$
\begin{align}
\frac{\delta L}{\delta \epsilon}[\rho] &= \lim_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\frac{L[\rho + \epsilon\eta] - L[\rho]}{\epsilon} \\
&= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\eta\left( \log(\rho) - 1 + \lambda_{1}x^{2} + \lambda_{0}\right)\,dx
\end{align}
$$
The function $\eta = \eta(x)$ is arbitrary and satisfies the same boundary conditions as $\rho$. Thus, for $\delta L / \delta\epsilon$ to be equal to 0 when $\rho$ is an optimal function, we must have:
$$
\begin{align}
&\log(\rho) - 1 + \lambda_{1}x^{2} + \lambda_{0} = 0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad &\rho = \hat{\lambda}_{0}\exp(\hat{\lambda}_{1}x^{2}).
\end{align}
$$
Applying the normalization and finite variance constraints to solve for the constants $\hat{\lambda}_{0}$, $\hat{\lambda}_{1}$ gives:
$$
\rho = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^{2}}}\exp\left( -\frac{x^{2}}{2\sigma^{2}}\right).
$$
Voilà! We see that $\rho$ is the density function for the normal distribution with variance $\sigma^{2}$. (Naturally, one should confirm that this optimal function gives a maximum for $L$ but I won't do that here. Too much math. Just take my word for it)
Isn't that cool?!
Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) are used in many disciplines to model the behaviour of continuously changing quantities that are subject to random (unpredictable) forces, such as option prices, the electrical potential across the membranes of neurons, and the dynamics of microscopic particles.
A generic SDE process, $x_{t}$, can be modelled by the following equation: $$ dx_{t} = f(x_{t},t)\,dt + \sigma(x_{t},t)\,dW_{t}, \quad t \geq 0. $$ This equation describes the change in $x_{t}$ , denoted $dx_{t}$, over a miniscule time interval $dt \to 0^{+}$ as the sum of a deterministic component $f\,dt$ and a random component $\sigma\,dW_{t}$. The term $dW_{t}$ typically represents a Gaussian white noise forcing, which essentially means that, over time change $dt$, the trajectory of the system is perturbed by a Gaussian random variable with mean zero and variance $dt$. The effect of this perturbation is scaled by the quantity $\sigma$ which can be state-dependent.
My interest in these processes is driven by my interest in differential equations in general, and seeing what you can learn about time-varying processes in the presence of unpredictable factors.
In analogy to why the normal distribution is an "attracting distribution" for processes with finite second moments, there is a broader class of stochastic process that are the attractors for stochastic processes having non-finite second moments and non-finite first moments. These processes are called $\alpha$-stable processes, where the $0 < \alpha \leq 2$ refers to the stability index of the distribution (essentially the power-law behaviour of the tails of the distribution)
Analysis of these distributions tends to be much easier via their characteristic functions, since the associated distributions do not have neat closed form expressions in real space (except in a handful of cases). The characteristic function of a distribution is the Fourier transform of its density function and for a symmetric $\alpha$-stable distribution it is equal to
$$
\psi(k) = \exp\left(-\sigma^\alpha |k|^{\alpha}\right).
$$
It is interesting to note that the characteristic function of the normal distribution with variance $\nu^{2}$ is consistent with this form when $\alpha = 2$ and $\sigma = \frac{\nu}{\sqrt{2}}$:
$$
\exp\left( -\frac{\nu^{2}}{2}k^{2}\right)
$$
Indeed, the normal distribution is a special case of the $\alpha$-stable distribution and the most useful to statisticians dealing with finite variance problems.
However, $\alpha$-stable processes have been shown to have use modelling the behaviour of option pricing and atmospheric processes subject to advection.

Helps learn new skills. Helps stop bad habits, Can help with anxiety - a way to help change amygdala response
Constantly thinking about projects make it easier to get back into where you left off, create new pathways. Spending time away from it and can weaken that pathway
Physical and mental training, spend time everyday doing something to strengthen that pathway
you haven't passed YET - you might be wrong but you wont always be!! seems like if you encourage learning over just being right people will learn more & better
Ain't about how fast I get there, Ain't about what's waiting on the other side, It's the climb - Miley Cyrus
Not particularly , choosing learning instead of trying to just be right all the time seems like the right way to go
Not let failure get me down. Yes im wrong now, but i wont alway be! Fantastic for spending hours tryna figure out a bug!

It involved getting your hands dirty inside the Apple provided theme files using a text editor. Not hard and certainly not "dangerous" in any way as long as you work on a copy of the theme in your local library folder. Of course there are a ton of things that you can do to customize themes in this way. Heck you can even add a bunch of new image filters if you want. In the original article I walk you through all of the files and locations that you need to know as well has how to make a copy of the theme you want to modify. You can check those details out to refresh your memory. Well - it seems there are people getting fresh ideas from that post almost two years later - One of our readers, Cathy, actually made a suggestion a day ago or so in that post's comments to do something that I never tried before. I will file this one under you learn something new everyday. Cathy suggests that modifying the "disableFrameScaleAndRotation" property in the Theme.plist file to "false" is extremely useful in some of the Apple provided themes. She's right. I never really played with this property because I don't really use any themes where this property does anything. Some of the themes however come with prefabricated graphic borders - like "Snapshot". For those themes setting this property to false allows you to resize the photo boxes AND the frame edges along with the photo box when in layout mode. For those of you that use Apple supplied themes with graphic borders this could be a god send. I see the question of "how to" do this come up all the time on the Apple support forums. Here is the answer. Thanks Cathy. RB


Gradient of an electric potential
Consider a particle with charge $Q$ positioned at the origin. The graph on the right
shows the potential field $V(x,y)$ around the particle (when only considering a 2D
slice of space passing through the centre of the charge).
Beneath it the electric field is shown, which is the negative of the gradient of the
electric potential.
Line Integral of Electric Field
$$ V_B - V_A = - \int _A ^B \mathbf{E} \cdot \mathbf{ dl }$$
In electrostatics, all electric fields are conservative. This means that we can find out the potential difference between any two points (A and B) by performing a line integral:
$$\Delta V_{AB} = \frac{\Delta U_{AB} }{q} = -\frac{1}{q} \int _A ^B \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{ dl } = - \int _A ^B \mathbf{E} \cdot \mathbf{ dl } $$
Visualisation Guide
- On the right, you can see a electric field and the electric potential associated with this field.
Change the value of the charge, $q$, and observe the change in $\mathbf{E}$ and $V$.
- As the magnitude of $q$ increases, the length of the arrows in $\mathbf{E}$ increases and the contour of the electric potential
$V$ becomes steeper as well. Since $\mathbf{E} = - \nabla V$, the gradient vector of $V$ is its electric field vector,
which points in the direction of steepest decrease of $V$.
- The line integral along the electric field,
$\int \mathbf{E} \cdot \mathbf{ dl }$ is path independent. Move the path of the ball from Point A to Point B
along 2 different paths, Path 1 and Path 2.
- Observe their electric potential values. Note that along the path, the value of $V$ may be different.
However, when the balls reach Point B, they have the same electric potential.
- This shows that static electric fields are conservative, hence $\mathbf{E}$ is only dependent on its position.

JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Dimension Films Director: Kevin Smith Writer: Kevin Smith Cast: Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku, Jason Lee
Pity any Internet reviewer who turns thumbs down on this movie. You're likely to be beaten up. Badly. At least that's the message conveyed by the title characters in the most unsubtle way possible in a movie that's as unsubtle and you can find this year and yet, paradoxically, one which demands an audience that's pretty hip about film in general--one which can appreciate self-deprecatory humor and has a knowledge of the output of Kevin Smith, of Miramax studios and of contemporary politics in general.
"Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" can be compared with "Rat Race," yet another film which opened during the month of August which is typically set aside for the release of movies for which studios do not expect a great deal. Both are hilarious IF you're the right audience for them. Both require that you're the sort that can go for foul-mouthed, vulgar pics that do not rely on polished, commercial, beginning-middle-end plotting, rational development and political correctness while "Jay and Silent Bob" in particular will appeal to frequent moviegoers--meaning not those who trudge to the theaters just twelve times a year but those who make pilgrimages fifty to one hundred times or more to the multiplex and to art houses alike.
Budgeted considerably higher than "Clerks" and less anticlerical than "Dogma," Kevin Smith's new movie entertains the concept of intellectual theft. Miramax studios (which, under the name of Dimensions happens to be the same company which distributes this very picture), is about to launch a new film called "Bluntman and Chronic," based on a comic book which, in turn, is based on the characters Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith). Trouble is that Miramax is going ahead with the project without the consent of the two individuals and without letting them in on a share of the kitty. Further disturbed about Internet flaming by anonymous geeks who are critical of the comic book concepts, Jay and Bob set out from their Leonardo, New Jersey hangout for Hollywood where they intend to enjoin the making the film. On the road the two buddies run into a series of adventures, best of which are with four bimbos who look surprisingly like that babes from "Charlie's Angels" and who convince the fellas that they could use help in liberating lab animals. Their real goal is more nefarious, but the women's operation is in danger of being blunted because one, Justice (Shannon Elizabeth), is falling for Jay.
By the time Jay and Silent Bob reach Hollywood, they are being chased by the local cops and by an agent of the Wildlife Commission. The highlight of the movie occurs inside Miramax studios where the noted distributors of arthouse fare has the guts to impugn some of its own creations and even knock the "idiots" who have paid to see "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."
For all its merit, "Jay/Bob" is not necessarily a step forward for Kevin Smith. Smith's first work, "Clerks," made in 1994 for just $27,000, took us to the same convenience store in which Jason Mewes is hanging out here. Mewes acts well there as he does here--certainly better than do Ben Affleck and Matt -Damon who show up in "Jay/Bob" and whose skits re "Good Will Hunting" simply miss the boat. What's more in "Chasing Amy," Smith renders a more polished piece--about a comic book artist who meets a female counterpart with whom he falls in love until he finds out she's gay. "Dogma," silly but more ambitious, took on more apocalyptic and therefore riskier themes and therefore did not fare so well, but all in all Smith has to date has done no wrong.

"$" had a marketing problem: no one knew how to pronounce the title. Later, the film was retitled "Dollars", then "The Heist" for foreign distribution, but the damage had already been done. Which is a pity: while derivative (the film's story had been lifted from 1970's "Perfect Friday") the film has many entertaining scenes.
Warren Beatty stars as a bank security officer who is in cahoots with childlike prostitute Goldie Hawn. Their scheme is to empty the safe deposit boxes of three criminals, all of whom are customers of both Hawn and Beatty's bank. Beatty's character is likeable but over his head (as usual). After looting the boxes during a phony bomb threat, his victims (gregarious Army sergeant Scott Brady, raspy-voiced drug runner Arthur Brauss, and Vegas casino embezzler Robert Webber) discover the crime and in a lengthy chase attempt to corner Beatty and recover the ill-gotten money. The film is set in Hamburg, (West) Germany, and Gert Frobe plays Beatty's elderly, gullible bank boss.
"$" is for adults only. There is much female nudity, and Brauss gets tortured with a switchblade. But those with proper stomachs will enjoy the humor, whether it comes from Hawn getting chased around her apartment by her johns, or Beatty playing 'hero' in a bank vault all the while robbing it. There is much tension as well, which climaxes with Beatty stumbling around a frozen lake with Brauss' car bearing down on him.
Quincy Jones is credited with the driving score, and Little Richard sings the often reprised theme song ("Money Money Money"). Beatty and Hawn were an item at the time of filming, and would be re-united in the 1974 film "Shampoo".

Guinness World Record for bulletin board with children's wishes in Qatar
Doha: Family Consulting Centre (Wifaq) has entered the Guinness World Records by launching the largest bulletin board in the world to record children’s wishes.
This marks the celebration of International Children’s Day, which takes place on November 20 every year, and the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and under the sponsorship of Qatar Foundation for Social Work.
The celebration falls in line within the framework of the centre’s keenness to participate in international and local events related to family affairs across all its fields.
The centre launched the bulletin board on November 20 at Katara – the Cultural Village over an area of 105.72sq m, including 5,500 cards of children’s wishes.
The achievement was certified by the relevant authorities, marking another Guinness record in Qatar.
Through this initiative, Wifaq, with the participation of Aman Centre and Dreama, aimed to draw the world’s attention to the importance of protecting children everywhere. It also promoted strengthening of the childhood values system that the country pays great attention to, in addition to increasing public awareness of the centre’s efforts in the field of childcare, a statement noted.
The centre also devoted awareness activities through social media sites, including a range of interactive awareness materials, in order to spread awareness of the importance of celebrating this day and highlighting the importance of building a positive relationship between parents and children and how to support them, enhance their coping skills and ways to meet their different needs.
In the spirit of contributing to human and social development in Qatar, H H Sheikha Moza bint Nasser had established the Family Consulting Centre with the aim of contributing to strengthening of marriage and family ties and reducing the disintegration of the targeted groups of families with problems.
The centre has been operating since 2013 under the umbrella of the Qatar Foundation for Social Work.
