When Satan took Jesus to the top of the temple and told him to jump, he tempted the Son of God to test his Father; to get God to prove his sonship in a spectacular, unmistakable way for all Jerusalem to see. His Father had already publicly announced his sonship (Luke 3:22), but there was a real temptation here, after a physically exhausting, mind-numbing 40-day trek through the wilderness, to secure a more dazzling testimony.
But this was more than a temptation to gain recognition among peers. At the root of this particular temptation, Satan hoped that Jesus would grasp at a premature vindication. Rather than walk the path of the cross to the irrefutable vindication of resurrection and final judgement, Satan pressed Jesus to get justice here and now. "If you are the Son of God," Satan nudged, "then get your Father to prove it." Bypass rejection and all that relational trouble and show everyone who you really are. It may even enhance your ministry.
But Jesus, suffering but steadfast, resisted the devil's schemes: "You shall not put the Lord to the test" (Luke 4:12). The Son saw through the temptation and recognized that requiring his Father to re-issue his heavenly pronouncement through a pointless but spectacular miracle would be nothing less than unbelief. Jesus knew his vindication would come later.
Satan will also tempt us to grasp for our vindication now, rather than waiting for God to vindicate us in the resurrection and final judgment. There are many ways this temptation may manifest itself. We may be tempted to retaliate for wrongs committed against us or to find ultimate hope in legal judgments made in our favor. But there is an unexpected way Satan may wield his craftiness against us: he may tempt us to grasp for our future vindication as we practice apologetics.
If you care at all about Scripture and truth, you will often find yourself wearied by how vigorous and how often and how thorough the attacks against your faith continue to be. We live and work within an intellectual setting that undermines the very possibility of universal religious truth. We find ourselves situated within a cultural narrative that makes a plain reading of Genesis sound like nonsense and doctrines like the resurrection appear as little more than interesting mythology. So much for biblical Christianity.
As we offer the gospel to unbelievers in this setting, we may be tempted vindicate ourselves by proving beyond a shadow of anyone's doubt that the Bible is true, that Christ is real, and that our faith is not in vain. We don't want to be bested in an argument or be made to look like a fool. We want it to be clear to everyone that we are right.
If this desire for immediate vindication grows, we will become angry at our opponents when they present a compelling argument. We might be tempted to twist the evidence for Christianity and make claims that aren't even true for the sake of winning a debate. We might misrepresent certain opposing positions for the sake of the gospel or retreat to personally attacking unbelievers. If we yield to the temptation to get our vindication now, we will do whatever we can to acquire it, even if it means lying about the truth. Our enemy is crafty indeed.
How do we overcome this temptation? The same way that Jesus did: by faith. Specifically, by constantly reminding our hearts that there is coming a day when the whole world—every person who has ever lived—will see that what Scripture says is true as God vindicates those who believed in Christ. Our Father will show everyone that his people were right to trust in Jesus and believe the Bible as His inerrant Word.
Think of it: What would have happened if Jesus had jumped from the temple and landed safely on the ground? Like with the best, most well-reasoned apologetic argument, some people may have been stunned into silence for a time, but a few days, maybe even a few hours later, life would go back to normal and unbelief would seep back into the small vacuum created by this brief spectacle of a man flying from the top of a temple. No miracle but the resurrection could finally vindicate Jesus, and no unassailable apologetic argument can finally vindicate us. If we look to apologetics for final vindication, we will be ever frustrated and liable to temptation.
God's vindication of his people won't come until the resurrection and the final judgement. Until then, we are called to give an answer about the hope that is in us with gentleness and reverence (1 Pet 3:13-17), to answer the fool according to his folly (Prov 24:5) (or, depending on the circumstances, refrain from answering the fool [Prov 24:4]), and tear down walls of unbelief with Scripture, wisdom, and solid argumentation. But we must remember that in this fallen world, our message will always be foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Cor 1:18) and our commitment to Christ and his Word will appear well-intentioned but uninformed at best, demonic at worst (Matt 10:25). Someday, however, God will prove once and for all that his promise was true: "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame" (Rom 10:11). Amen. Come Lord Jesus. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 3 |
Wearing jewelry hasn't been big on my list for many years now. Recently, there has been a lot more indie styled jewelry however which has drawn me in. I love chunky stone jewelry and thin quirky cuffs. It's just so elegant yet simple enough to wear everyday. Then Rocksbox entered my life and now I'm hooked.
I am no fashion blogger but man does this jewelry make me want to be! Rocksbox is a monthly jewelry subscription box. You start off by setting up your style profile, choosing styles and colors you prefer. From there you start adding jewelry to your wishlist and rank them in order of most wanted. Once a month, Rocksbox pulls three of your wishlist items and sends them directly to you. The best part is, its all a surprise.
After seeing that my first box shipped, I pretty much stalked my mailbox and email waiting for delivery. Finally it came and I ran like the wind bulleye. Sorry, I have a Toy Story obsessed toddler. Upon opening the box I was greeted with a little card that had my name on it. Inside were all the details of my jewelry and the pricing.
Gold, Stones, & Dangly Earrings, Oh my!
I opened my box and headed straight for the Kate Spade bag. Her and Kendra Scott are two of my favorite jewelry designers. I opened up the bag to find my Rise and Shine Small Studs in Jet. I died. Okay, maybe not but these studs were stunning! A center black stone with 3 crystal prongs holding everything in place, made me a sucker, and yes, I did decide to keep them!
Item number two was in a mysterious black bag. I opened it up to find Slate Issa Stacking Rings in Black & Howlite. Stacking rings are the cutest thing ever to me. You can have as many or as little as you like. Not to mention, these are stone and gorgeous. I have tiny fingers and were a half size so as much as I'd love to keep these, I can't since they are a little too large.
My last mystery item in my Rocksbox were Slate Deborah Stone Drop Earrings. Now there are totally not my style, however, I knew this when adding them to my wishlist. That's the best part about Rocksbox. You can go out of your comfort zone to try something different without committing until you're ready too.
If you're interested in trying out a Rocksbox for yourself, here is the low down on what you need to know. For $21 a month you receive your items. Once you have checked them all out, you keep what you want and return what you don't. With any piece that you keep, you get a $21 credit(your subscription fee) toward the piece(s) and Rocksbox charges you the difference. Didn't like any of the pieces? No problem. Your monthly credit will keep rolling over until you find something you do love.
Ready to jump on board? Well let me give you your first box free using the code "TRYRBXOXO" and tell me what your think! Glam up or glam down, Rocksbox has you covered!
That is such a great box! I love the pieces here. I need to look into Rocksbox.
What an exciting monthly treat! I love that you never know what you are going to get! It is such a fun surprise!
OH MY GOSH. That jewelry is fabulous. You have me wondering if they ship to Canada and if I should drop my makeup box subscription for this one!
That would be SO cool! I would love to give myself a little gift each month! I might just want to spoil myself and get this!
Rocksbox looks like a great monthly subscription box. I have been looking for a new box to try. Subscription boxes make great gifts that keep giving all year long.
I used to get Rocksbox and loved it! I just had to cut back on spending but it was totally worth it and several of my favorite jewelry pieces came from them! I am in love with those bar hoop earrings! WANT!
Those are really pretty items! It looks like a fantastic box!
What an awesome box. I love Kate Spade stuff, it's so beautiful, yet affordable, and goes with absolutely everything. Great deal on the subscription as well!
I would love to check out Rocksbox sometime. Looks like they have some good pieces of jewelry you can purchase!
This is some pretty nice jewelry. This is the first box that I have seen for jewelry like this. I like how much you got. The Rocksbox looks pretty sweet.
I used to get RocksBox and after reading your post I can't remember why I quit?? I need to restart my subscription!!
There are so many subscription boxes nowadays that I can't keep up. Thanks for letting me know about Rocksbox.
This is the first time I heard about the Rocks Box. These are beautiful jewelry pieces.
Those are beautiful pieces you receiving in your Rocksbox! Love those Kate Spade earrings.
I have never heard of Rocksbox before. It sounds like something I will have to check out. The idea of getting different jewerly every month I love. This subscription box would make a great gift idea too. Thanks for sharing the information.
Wow, I have never heard of a jewelry subscription box that is this good! Love that you can get different jewelry picked out for you – I get so overwhelmed in stores, and it is like getting a personal jewelry shopper working for you at no cost!
IT is a beautiful box worth of stuff here. I am sure my daughter would love it anyway. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 4 |

Penn State Races Past Indiana
No. 5 Penn State women's volleyball team swept past Indiana on Friday in three straight sets (25-18, 25-15, 25-14).
The win puts Penn State back on track for the next AVCA coaches poll standings after dropping from No. 3 to No. 5 after the loss to Northwestern last week.
Senior super star Megan Courtney was not in the lineup for Friday's game after being taken out of the Northwestern game with an apparent injury.
Sophomore Simone Lee took Courtney's spot at the top of the offense with 10 kills. Redshirt senior Aiyana Whitney and freshman Nia Reed came in second with six kills each. Along with Reed's career-high kill performance, she added on a career-high two blocks.
Freshman Keeton Holcomb led the defense with 15 digs and Whitney led the blocking game with a career-high eight blocks.
Overall, Indiana was no match for Penn State but it gave the Nittany Lions a chance to put some new faces on the court.
Senior Lara Caraway tallied a career-high eight digs in her first collegiate start at Penn State and senior Kendall Pierce added eight digs on defense.
The Nittany Lions made half the amount of hitting errors as the Hoosiers and had a team total of 12 blocks compared to Indiana's total of three.
The win makes it the ninth time Penn State has defeated Indiana in a row over the past nine match ups. And it makes for the fourteenth victory this season to be won in sweep-style.
Friday evening was also military appreciation night, so after the match Penn State hosted a sitting volleyball match featuring the men's team in tribute to service members.
Stay tuned for the next blog post recapping Saturday's game against Purdue and a look at what lies ahead for the Nittany Lions. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 5 |

Genuine ardoconut packages each coconut in a micro-perforated, anti- steam high-tech film made by polyolefin, material that is fully recyclable.
Why we are wrapping our organic coconuts in a film?
Our young coconuts are in an immature stage, full of sweet water and with a jelly-like meat. At this stage the shell is very porous and the coconut continues breathing through them. The film replicates the protective effect of the green flesh reducing its breathing rate and preventing the sweet water becoming sour in a few days.
The film protects our coconuts from handling and exterior contamination. It prevents the growth of molds on the coconut shell and avoids the use of awful chemicals commonly used in the white husked fresh coconuts produced in the countries of origin. The film also helps to decrease the evaporation effect of the coconut water and extend the shelf life and freshness of the coconut reducing a significant global concern – FOOD WASTE.
This film uses a 92% less plastic than a PET bottle commonly used for natural juices.
Our ring pulls are made using 40 % of coconut husk coming from our de-husking process and mixed with a resin which is fully recyclable. With our patented easy opening system we avoid the use of dangerous tools to open the coconuts such as knifes and machetes.
We use a cardboard ring to protect the weak spots in the bottom of the coconut from impacts and handling since it is the most sensitive part of the coconut. Also the cardboard ring facilitates its consumption by giving stability to the coconut and allows us to include information such as nutritional values, expiration date, certifications …. The cardboard ring is made of recyclable materials and is recyclable.
Due to the nature of our product it is necessary to use a straw to access the water inside the coconut. We are using a polypropylene straw that is recyclable. We are in a project to replace this straw by a 100% compostable straw that hopefully will be available on the next few months.
The Genuine Coconut team is committed to continue working hard towards achieving a 100 % biodegradable packaging. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 7 |
The public tai chi class is known as the 'open class'. Anyone can come to lessons and join the school if they want to.
People are taught relative to their own ability level. There is a syllabus in place, DVDs for home study, a reading list and additional training opportunities.
Everyone has the opportunity to make progress at a pace that suits their own attitude, commitments, interest and lifestyle.
Traditionally, tai chi was never taught in public classes. The Art was considered to be too advanced, too precious, too esoteric and too difficult.
In feudal era China sharing was not encouraged. With fierce rivalry between villages, individuals, kung fu schools and states, nobody was eager to share what they knew.
The notion of 'inner' and 'outer' schools is derived from how old fashioned Asian houses operated.
Visitors were only permitted to enter certain, limited spaces within the house. They saw only what the host wanted them to see, what they felt was appropriate. This usually wasn't much.
This is exactly like a drawing room in Western history. A drawing room was where visitors were entertained.
Deeper within the house the family resided. Their rooms, eating and living space were never seen by visitors.
To enter deeper into an Asian house was seen as being 'inside the door'. No longer treated as an outsider/visitor/guest/stranger.
It was considered to be an honour to be permitted access to the more intimate areas of the host's abode.
Historically all tai chi lessons took place inside the door. The teacher rigorously screened new students and kept the school numbers low. Anyone who failed to work hard was denied tuition.
This is how things were for centuries.
In the 20th Century tai chi was taught more widely.
What is really being taught publicly?
This is an interesting question. In most classes the sad truth is not much. So-called tai chi lessons are often just slow motion movement and very little substance.
If a student is just looking for a relaxing night out, then this is probably just fine for them. After all, it is far better than just watching TV.
What are we teaching publicly?
As much as we can. However, this is sorely limited by the lesson duration (2 hours) and the amount of training/study the student undertakes between classes.
No matter how keen we are to share every secret of the Art, 2 hours isn't very long at all. And we can't make anyone train at home.
Most students simply don't put in the necessary time or effort. The sad part is that we're not talking about several hours training every day. Just as much as is needed.
What can you teach to people who don't study?
Not much. A person who doesn't invest in additional study has a very limited idea of what tai chi constitutes; therefore any new information lacks context and relevance.
How the individual approaches a tai chi class, what they expect to find and whether or not they like the experience will largely be shaped by their mental representation of tai chi.
When a student doesn't study between lessons, deeper knowledge simply has no significance to their practice.
Peter Southwood maintained that tai chi can only be taught relative to each individual's degree of interest.
e.g. a student may profess great enthusiasm but refrain from reading the required books or engaging in daily practice. What can the instructor do? Nothing. It is beyond their control.
The student themselves decides what level they can be taught. For most students the public lessons are quite adequate. They like the idea of something deeper but lack the requisite commitment.
Why don't people go deeper?
By the time many people reach their thirties they're in The Dead Zone. This is a stage of life where complacency and laziness predominate.
No longer fired up to find a partner or a good job, the individual stagnates. Their sense of zeal, passion and enthusiasm dulls and they slide gradually towards 40.
This happens to a lot of people - male and female. It can be hard to break the habit of apathy. There's always many good reasons to procrastinate.
Somehow the fight is over and the person has forgotten the joys of hardship, uncertainty and struggle. The mundanity of everyday life has replaced the hope/lust for adventure.
Throughout the world, tai chi people still join inner schools. They want more than the public class can offer.
Instead of being 1 student in a class of 30 they want closer tuition, more attention, deeper knowledge and better skills.
The individual understands that their own conduct makes this possible and therefore avidly reads the recommended books, studies daily and works hard.
Being 'inside the door' involves a more informal relationship with your teacher. Conversation is freer. The student is disinclined to waste time with specious opinions concerning the Art.
They want the 'good oil', the power of tai chi. They know full well that the teacher cannot imbue it and seek instead to supplement their own studies with direct transmission.
Rather than feel like an outsider, the student enjoys a relaxed, comfortable relationship with their instructor.
What does the indoor student get?
Their everyday experience of life is altered. The student feels acutely alive and alert; energy-filled and passionate. There is a sense of ease.
No struggling, grunting or groaning, no pain in the back or the knees. The body responds instantly to the dictates of the mind. They feel spontaneous and free.
Nimble-footed, with strength, agility, fluid movement and sustained concentration, the student experiences a more immediate, vibrant reality.
One aim of tai chi is for the student to become a 'real human'. A 'real human' is simply somebody who is fully conscious. It does not involve the acquisition of superpowers.
An indoor student shares this quest for new skills, insights, knowledge, wisdom... and the opportunity to see the world differently.
The indoor student gets to walk the same path as the Ancients once did. To study what the Ancients once explored, to penetrate the mysteries and embrace continuous, on-going change.
Secrecy, rumours of great power and deliberate obfuscation led to tai chi being regarded with considerable fear and superstition.
Consequently no one trains to counter-act them. The skills being trained in taijiquan are not the same as those being practiced by mainstream martial arts.
The Ancient Taoist teachings that were incorporated into taijiquan are no longer well known. Modern people seldom investigate spiritual matters. Taoism is often only encountered by the fringe 'seeker'.
The recommended books will expand your consciousness, increase your awareness, develop a more flexible mind and make you receptive to unforeseen possibilities.
The Old Ways are not easily understood or quickly learned. But they are very powerful and effective. Taijiquan employs Taoist insights and principles.
The teachings are counter-intuitive, puzzling and cryptic. They cannot be explained using words. In order to understand, you must do. The indoor student needs tenacity and resolve.
Tai chi is filled will odd little phrases or instructions that have little significance to a beginner. These apparently vague references and riddles are signs and pointers to the Way.
Were you to read The Tai Chi Classics or Zen and the Tao books, the cryptic statements and stories might not seem to have any obvious bearing on the martial art itself.
By challenging existing modes of thought, dropping long-held opinions and acquiring new skills the body must grow new brain tissue to cope with the demands of change.
Indoor students get the opportunity to have in-depth discussions with the instructor concerning Taoism, Zen, martial theory and practice, applications, principles and biomechanics.
Sifu Waller welcomes any earnest application for indoor tuition and will endeavour to provide as many additional learning opportunities as possible.
This is how he learned taijiquan, and it led eventually onto lineage.
An indoor student needs to think about what they want to focus on, what interests them and how best to gain additional tuition. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 8 |

As promising news on a mRNA-based vaccine candidate buoyed the nation Monday, researchers and volunteers in Rochester continue their work with cautious optimism.
Interim preliminary analysis of data from a coronavirus vaccine study, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, that the vaccine is 90 percent effective in preventing an infection. The analysis was conducted by an external, independent data-monitoring committee from the Phase III clinical study, which so far has enrolled more than 40,000 subjects from diverse backgrounds.
For the interim analysis, the committee evaluated 94 COVID-positive cases, finding that protection from the virus is achieved 28 days after the initial vaccination, which has a two-dose schedule. Officials did not report any serious safety concerns.

"While we need to keep in mind that the study is ongoing and this is a preliminary analysis, the data is very encouraging," says Edward Walsh M.D., a professor in the URMC Department of Medicine, Infectious Diseases. "We need to continue the process of rigorous analysis of this and other potential vaccines to ensure they are safe and effective, and this will take time. However, I think it is safe to say that, if these findings hold up, we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Walsh and colleague Ann Falsey M.D. have been leading the local arm of the Pfizer/BioNTech study. Falsey is co-director of the URMC Vaccine and Treatment Evaluation Unit. Both are members of the Infectious Disease Unit at Rochester General Hospital.
Rochester has played a role in the testing of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine since May, when the first human studies were launched. Technologies used in the development of the vaccine can trace their origins to decades of infectious disease research conducted at URMC, officials say.
Walsh and Falsey documented results of the study in the New England Journal of Medicine that demonstrated the safety of the BNT162b2 vaccine candidate and its capability of stimulating an immune response during the Phase I clinical trial, which studied four variations of the vaccine.
BNT162b2 was chosen to move to Phase III in July. Local volunteers, enrolled through URMC and RRH, were among the first in the country to get a vaccine dose in Phase III.
URMC's work with Pfizer stems from its research on improving the efficacy of vaccines and developing new vaccines against Hib, a bacterium that causes meningitis and pneumonia, and HPV, the virus that causes cervical cancer, officials say. The investigation on the Hib vaccine resulted in Praxis Biologics, a startup long touted as a success story here. Praxis became Wyeth Lederle Vaccines and, eventually, a part of Pfizer. When Wyeth acquired Praxis, several scientists chose to continue their careers with that company.
The team at Pfizer continued to collaborate with researchers in Rochester and subsequent technological and scientific advances made by URMC researchers studying RSV, a respiratory virus, and seasonal coronaviruses contributed to the COVID-19 vaccine currently being developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, URMC says.
Pfizer and BioNTech plan to continue to gather safety data and submit information to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The pharmaceutical giant expects to produce up to 50 million vaccine doses in 2020 and up to 1.3 billion in 2021.
Other vaccine candidates continue to move through trials and milestones as well. Yesterday, Eli Lilly shipped the first 88,000 doses of its investigational COVID-19 vaccine candidate to a national distributor. The company's move follows an FDA emergency use authorization for the therapy.
Lilly's Bamlanivimab is authorized for COVID-positive patients who are 12 years of age and older, roughly 88 pounds in weight, and at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and hospitalization. This includes those who are 65 years of age or older, or who have certain chronic medical conditions. Bamlanivimab continues to be evaluated for safety and efficacy.
Ann Falsey
At URMC, participants are being enrolled to study the AstraZeneca and University of Oxford vaccine hopeful. Trials of the vaccine, which were briefly suspended in September due to a patient illness, have since resumed. The medical center is expected to join other vaccine evaluations as well.
Falsey, who is a national coordinating investigator for the AstraZeneca vaccine study, says it is necessary to press forward with studies of other potential candidates.
"Given the challenges and logistics of vaccine distribution on a global scale, we will require multiple effective vaccines and we are incredibly grateful to the thousands of people in our area who have stepped forward to participate in vaccine research," she says.

How restaurants can better manage cyber risk in the extended enterprise has been added to your bookmarks.
How restaurants can better manage cyber risk in the extended enterprise has been removed from your bookmarks.
Restaurants are implementing innovative technologies and adjusting their business models to enhance the customer experience, strengthen sales and margins, and improve operational efficiency. Some of these innovations involve technology enhancements to point-of-sale (POS) systems, new cloud-based technologies, and an ever-increasing number of third parties that interact with customers. New business relationships and processes can create security gaps, alter access to sensitive data, or cause shifts in cyber risk liability exposures.
The days of calling a restaurant for reservations may soon be over. Customers now have real-time visibility into table availability and can book a reservation with one click on their mobile devices. Restaurants are heavily dependent on reservation apps to remain front and center with customers and satisfy a key logistical need—increasing traffic and managing table-turns.
Additionally, the on-demand nature of customer preferences has given rise to new services, such as food delivery, that were previously limited to specific niche segments of the market. In many cases, restaurant reservation and delivery platforms are not integrated with a company's point-of-sales system. Restaurants access data through companies that provide these platforms and may not have knowledge of how their data is securely stored, segregated, and transmitted.
These third parties also may be sharing or storing your sensitive data with other third parties unbeknownst to you, which creates new vulnerabilities and entry points for cyberattacks and requires greater vigilance to protect key customer data.
The payment processing industry is continuously evolving with consumers demanding more convenient and flexible options. This shift incorporates an innovation-driven ecosystem consisting of processing terminals, new mobile technology, and credit card companies. Each generation of payment technology—from the traditional magnetic stripe cards, to chip cards, to various derivations of mobile contactless methods—has provided significant business benefits. But it also introduces new cyber risks.
Europay, MasterCard, and Visa (EMV) cards are viewed as a step to decrease credit card fraud. The ability to accept EMV cards, however, does not come cheaply as they require new terminals capable of reading the embedded chips. But restaurants must also consider the cyber risks of not upgrading.
Much like the EMV standard, innovations in payment technologies should be viewed as another step along the payment security infrastructure. Therefore, strengthening resiliency to cyber breaches associated with new payment technologies can be essential to business continuity.
Recent cyberattacks suggest that restaurants may be prime targets for criminals and others looking to cause irreparable damage to companies through the exploitation of sensitive data. The use of new technologies, and the fact that restaurant companies process millions of credit card transactions annually, increases susceptibility. The core issue is that a greater number of third parties are handling an increasing amount of sensitive data. Recent high-profile cyber breaches only highlight the urgency for restaurant companies to contend with cyber risks to protect their customers, brand, and operations.
Secure.Vigilant.Resilient. is Deloitte's three-course approach to controlling cyber risk. Companies should build a core security foundation by establishing controls and processes around their most sensitive assets, including staying current with technology vendor patch updates.
With respect to being vigilant, companies must maintain awareness of how threats are evolving and be able to detect malicious or unauthorized activities. To that end, many organizations are making use of Security Information Event Monitoring (SIEM) technologies to provide insights on threat activity and support monitoring and advanced detection capabilities that focus on critical business processes.
Being resilient is the ability to return to normal operations quickly to reduce the impact of cyberattacks and breaches. This means having the capacity to rapidly analyze situations; execute business continuity and recovery plans; and interact effectively with customers, media, legal counsel, law enforcement, and industry peers. Leadership must be equipped to take quick and decisive action, even when faced with an incident it may not be fully prepared for. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 10 |
Q: Support for fallback sources with Tag Helper Currently asp-fallback-test-class only works with singular classes:
<link href="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"
asp-fallback-href="~/lib/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"
asp-fallback-test-class="hidden"
asp-fallback-test-property="visibility"
asp-fallback-test-value="hidden" />
How can I test files with multiple selectors? For examples:
*
*dataTables.bootstrap.css has at bare minimum two selectors chained together like table.dataTable { ... } but no standalone .dataTable class.
*Similarly with skin-red.css, there are only descendant selectors like .skin-red .main-header .navbar { ... } and again no standalone .skin-red class.
There is also a workaround:
Probably the best way around this is to fork, add a test class (like .skin-red-fallback-test { ... }) within the individual file, then make a PR for whichever particular library one might be using.
But I don't know what he meant by making a PR. Could someone explain for me please?

The 30th president of the United States of America who was mostly remembered for being a man of few words, which earn him the nickname Silent Cal.
He was a farmer, school teacher, and local store clerk. He achieved national recognition for his handling of the Boston Police Strike of 1919.
He held a record number of presidential press conferences for the time, totaling 520.
His father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr., served in the Vermont House of Representatives from 1872 until 1878. He was married to Grace Coolidge from 1905 until his death in 1933.
His legacy as a small-government conservative came into question after he left office, but gained a renewed respect under Ronald Reagan, who shared many of Coolidge's values. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 12 |
'He can break open a match' – Louis van Gaal reveals he tried to sign this Bundesliga star for Manchester United

Louis van Gaal has revealed that he tried to sign Sadio Mane when he was in charge at Manchester United.
The Senegal forward, who was ruled out of the 2022 World Cup with a knee injury on the eve of the tournament, instead joined Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in 2016.
"'I wanted him when I was the manager at Man Utd," Van Gaal said, lumping praise on the Bayern Munich forward during a press conference.
"I chased him at the time. I am a fan of Mane. He can break open a match and I would say Senegal will really miss him."

After Barney beat me to Cars 3, I when to see The Dark Tower. His comment on me going to see this movie was exactly this: "It's going to be TERRIBLE." It wasn't though. As the movie starts, you are reminded how Stephen King's novel adaptations are – a dark movie with someone "crazy" because they have dreams or visions. Nonetheless, this movie does a fantastic job at keeping you at the edge of your seat the entire hour and a half, except for one cheap trick that gets you entirely out of the movie… I seriously don't get why screenwriters think it's a good idea to pause all the action and put cliché dialogue between the two characters, so disappointing.
Matthew McConaughey did a wonderful job at playing the bad guy in this movie. It even disturbs you how good he is sometimes (Barney says the only thing disturbing is knowing that Death drives a Lincoln). What I liked most about the movie is that it makes you think and listen, they cut out moments where someone like me would try to predict what will happen (i.e "She going to die, she going to die!!") and it leaves you hanging, adding to the suspense. The film answers most of the questions through different parts of the movie, but there are still some things that could be explained better, so just be ready to be a bit confused.
Overall, it's a great movie because you feel tense the entire time as the action sequences keep coming at you… I don't know if they tuned up the AC during a scene in the movie, but you can feel the forest breeze and mist at some point, very cool. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 14 |

Bell's double in 10th gives Pirates 5-game sweep of Brewers
By: Scott Grodsky Facebook | Twitter
Posted: Jul 15, 2018 6:12 PM CST
PITTSBURGH (AP) — One late-inning rally wasn't enough for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Trailing and down to their final out on two occasions, the Pirates managed a 7-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers that gave them the first five-game sweep in the majors in nearly a dozen years.
With two men on and two outs in the 10th inning and a steady rain turning into a downpour, Josh Bell made solid contact on a pitch from Dan Jennings (3-3). The crack of the bat was followed closely by bolt of lightning from the clouds as Bell left the batter's box.
The ball got past center fielder Lorenzo Cain and bounced all the way to the wall, scoring Gregory Polanco easily from third. The relay throw beat Colin Moran to the plate but skipped off the pitcher's mound and through the legs of catcher Erik Kratz, giving Pittsburgh an improbable victory.
Bell had gained a tactical advantage when earlier in the at-bat, Jennings had a slider slip out of his hand that nearly went for a wild pitch. With the tying run on third, Bell didn't think Jennings would risk throwing it again.
"I was just dead-red heater," Bell said. "I got it and I put a good swing on it."
The blown save was the first of the season for Jennings. An inning earlier, regular closer Corey Knebel blew his second of the season. After loading the bases with no outs, Knebel got Jordy Mercer to ground into a double play that scored one run, but then pinch-hitter David Freese hit a two-out triple off the right-field wall to tie the game.
"We just didn't make pitches," Brewers manger Craig Counsell said. "That cost us."
The Pirates' five-game sweep is the first in the majors since August 18-21, 2006, when the Yankees took five straight from Boston. It's the first five-game sweep for Pittsburgh since 1996. The Pirates head into the break as winners of six straight and eight of their last nine.
"Just a lot of wins all over the place for a lot of different guys and the team," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Twice to come back against one of the best bullpens in the game, the fight in the club, the fight all over the place, a really fun way to end it in the pouring rain."
Brett Phillips drove in four runs, including an RBI single in the 10th off Pirates reliever Tanner Anderson (1-0). The win was Anderson's first in the majors in his second appearance. Both Phillips and Anderson had been recalled from Triple-A before the game.
Phillips hit a bases-loaded triple in the eighth off Pirates starter Joe Musgrove to give the Brewers a three-run lead. Starling Marte had an RBI single in the eighth for Pittsburgh.
Musgrove threw a career-high 106 pitches over his 7 2/3 innings. He allowed five runs on seven hits, walked four and struck out five.
Milwaukee starter Jhoulys Chacin allowed one hit in 5 1/3 innings, but his throwing error allowed Musgrove to reach base ahead of Corey Dickerson's homer, which was the only damage against him.
Travis Shaw hit his 18th homer of the season in the second.
Brewers: C Manny Pina (left biceps strain) and OF Ryan Braun (back strain) will be eligible to return from the disabled list after the All-Star break.
Pirates: 2B Josh Harrison left the game with left hamstring discomfort. He pulled up running out a ground ball in the fifth inning. ... There is "concern" that C Francisco Cervelli (post-concussive symptoms) might have to move out from behind the plate, general manager Neal Huntington said. Cervelli went on the seven-day disabled list Saturday without a timetable for his return.
Brewers: Have not announced a starter for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the activation of LHPs Wade Miley and Brent Suter from the disabled list this week, Milwaukee has six starters on the active roster.
Pirates: RHP Jameson Taillon (6-7, 3.91 ERA) is scheduled to start the second half at Cincinnati on Friday. Taillon held opponents to a .196 average over his last two starts.

Cirkulær argumentation (også kendt som paradoksal tankegang eller cirkulær logik) er en logisk fejlslutning hvor personen der argumenterer begynder argumentationen med hvad de vil nå frem til (A er sandt fordi B er sandt; B er sandt fordi A er sandt), som for eksempel:
A. Biblen er sand, da den er Guds ord.
B. Guds ord er sandt; det står i Biblen.
Et sådant argument kaldes også en cirkelslutning eller petitio principii.
En anden måde at anskue et cirkulært argument på er at erkende, at begge sider af argumentet i bund og grund udtrykker det samme, som for eksempel:
Alle elsker Louise, fordi hun er så populær.
Logisk set kan cirkulær argumentation anses som gyldig, fordi hvis præmisserne er gyldige må konklusionen også være det. I praksis er dette dog ikke tilfældet, som det ses i dette eksempel:
Wellington ligger i New Zealand
Derfor ligger Wellington i New Zealand
Selv om argumentet er deduktivt gyldigt, så formår det ikke at bevise at Wellington ligger i New Zealand, da der ikke er noget bevismateriale som er særskilt fra konklusionen.
Cirkulære argumenter kan føre til uløselige paradokser. Et almindeligt kendt paradoks er hønen og ægget, der forsøger at finde ud af hvilken af de to, der kom først:
Alle høns er udruget af et æg.
Alle æg lægges af høns.
Men alle høns er udruget...
Et sådant paradoks kan ikke løses, med mindre der tilgår nye oplysninger, der kan hjælpe argumentationen videre.

Get your dose of Vitamin C with writer Banana Yoshimoto
"The place I like best in this world is the kitchen. No matter where it is, no matter what kind, if it's a kitchen, if it's a place where they make food, it's fine with me."
Banana Yoshimoto has stolen my heart. Ever since a copy of Kitchen, the novel which made her a Japanese national treasure, turned up in our house, I have been entranced by her simple, perfectly placed prose, her warmth, her touches of the supernatural, the way she layers tiny details to light up the page; snow falling, the moon behind the trees, the smell of food.
And of course there is her name. Sadly it's not the one she was born with, rather, she is named Mahoko, but chose her pen name based on her love of banana flowers. She likes Banana as it is both 'cute' and 'androgynous', and it certainly adds a touch of the kitsch and surreal to her works.
Yoshimoto's debut, Kitchen, features a young woman, Mikage, recovering from the death of her beloved grandmother and gradually forming a close bond with florist Yuichi. It sold like hot cakes in her home country, leading to a phenomenon the press called 'Bananamania'.
Like many of her works, Kitchen revolves around the transformative power of relationships and people coming to terms with traumas in their past. Her characters undertake redemptive journeys, teach themselves to cook, become therapists, take up running, as they try to heal themselves from the wounds life has inflicted on them.
"There are many, many difficult times, god knows. If a person wants to stand on her own two feet, I recommend undertaking the care and feeding of something. It could be children, or it could be house plants… That's where it starts."
Another defining feature of her work is her familiarity with the spirit world, as if it is as casual a fact of life as the furniture in one's house, or a member of the family. Uncanny dreams often feature in her tales, and she has said she finds artistic inspiration from her own dreams. Her characters have premonitions, or nocturnal conversations with the dead.
As her young characters confront the ghosts of their past and come to understand the world and the good things in it, you are drawn along and feel that you share the insight that they gain. For an elegant, life-affirming read, come and join Banana Yoshimoto in her warm Kitchen.

"We're a farmer's market that's rain or shine," Richard said. "Whether that means it's physically raining in Lafayette or any other way you can interpret it ... we'll be here."
Paul Lyles, who sets up at the market every week with vegetables from his Up To Grow Good farm in Cottonport, said this was his first time back in Lafayette since Thursday's shooting.
"Everything's business as usual," Lyles said. "This event reinforces the strength and backbone of this community, but I wouldn't expect anything else."
And as patrons walked from tent to tent along the shaded pathway weaving through the market it seemed Lyles was right.
"You wouldn't be able to tell just coming here today what happened a few days ago," said Aaron Garcia, who frequents the market often.
"It's a testament to the strength of everyone who lives here and how we're able to come together and think positively," Garcia's girlfriend, Maureen Doucet, added.
Still, not everyone at the market took the "moving on" approach.
Melodie McMath, who usually spends her Saturday mornings making juices and smoothies for Emerge — An Artisan Juicery, decided to set up a different booth this week.
"This week I felt compelled to provide a healing place of a different capacity," McMath said. "Usually we focus on physical healing with juices, but this week I felt the community needed more emotional healing."
Instead of juices, there were blessings. In place of smoothies, hugs.
Hugs, she said, that were at least 10 seconds long.
"This lone gunman didn't feel like he had a community, and that's what inspires the kind of action he took," McMath said. "So for the community to come out and embrace everyone and giving out love, connecting, making eye contact and giving a simple 'hello' reminds us that we're all on this earth together."
These simple acts of kindness, she said, is what helps the community heal.
"If we stop focusing on the negative and focus on the positive the negative will naturally start to subside," McMath said.
It was for this reason, Richard said, the market carried on as usual.
"Being the community staple we are, we didn't even think twice about if we would open," Richard said.
"This is something in Lafayette that people look forward to, and something that makes us the strong community we are so it's all that more important that we're here this week — to give people a place to come together."

The smashing first arc of Marvel's best new series comes to a climax as the battle between H.A.M.M.E.R., HYDRA, rogue S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and the Howling Commandos begins! This is the first shot in a war that will result in the establishment of a new global power structure...and who's caught in the middle? You guessed it: Nick Fury and his team of Caterpillars. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 25 |
Q: What's the difference when using numeric literal in termination expression of a for statement? Why does this piece of code:
String value = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter x"); //Input = 100
int x = Integer.parseInt(value);
double result = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= x; i++) //used variable "x" here
{
result += (x * 1.0) / fact(i);
x *= x;
}
public static int fact(int n) {
int fact = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
fact *= i;
}
return fact;
}
work differently from this one?
String value = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter x"); //Input = 100
int x = Integer.parseInt(value);
double result = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) //and here I used the value "100"
{
result += (x * 1.0) / fact(i);
x *= x;
}
public static int fact(int n) {
int fact = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
fact *= i;
}
return fact;
}
The only change that I made was using the value 100 instead of using the variable x in my termination expression!
When I run the first code, I get:
9.479341033333334E7
However, for the second one I always get
NaN
Why?
A: The difference between the two snippets is this:
for (int i = 1; i <= x; i++) {
vs.
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
In the first case, x gets much larger every time! Eventually, it will stop when x overflows and becomes 0, which will be much sooner than in the second case. For an explanation as to why this results in 0 instead of some other random number, see: Why does this multiplication integer overflow result in zero?
In the second case, when i = 34, fact(n) will return 0, so the double division is (0 * 1.0) /0 which results in NaN. Any double, when added to NaN, becomes NaN, which is why the second snippet results in NaN. See: In Java, what does NaN mean?

Today marks the release of my first contemporary romance novel, Once Upon a Dare. I am so excited to share Cole and Olivia's story with the world and hope the tale delivers on the promise of sizzling chemistry that Brazen readers have come to expect. It's a pretty tall order, but Cole and Olivia's 'I-hate-you-but-I-can't-keep-my-hands-off-you' tension brings the heat.
From first draft to final draft, the journey has been a wild ride, filled with the three M's. Milestones (deadlines, deadlines, deadlines), missteps (plot holes, anyone?), and yes, even a few misconceptions (writing romance is easy- or so I'm told). This story has been two years in the making and now that it's finally polished and ready for the world, there's really only one thing left to say.
THANK YOU! Thank you to my family, my friends, my editor. Thank you for helping me along the way, whether it was providing critiques, a much needed laugh, or a shoulder to lean on. I couldn't have done it without your love and support. I love you all to pieces and someday I'm going to figure out how to show you just how much I appreciate you. But for now, humble words will have to do.
To celebrate the biggest milestone of all, release day, Once Upon a Dare is touring the blogosphere with a pretty sexy giveaway!

Energy prices: here's what UK government can do to cut household bills
According to the boss of the UK's biggest energy supplier, Centrica, high gas and electricity prices could last for two years. With many already unnerved by the fact that the average UK energy bill is set to rise in April by about 50% to nearly Pound 2,000, this has further fuelled fears of a cost of living catastrophe in 2022 for millions of poorer households.
It is hard to find a definitive explanation for this situation from government ministers or industry leaders which goes beyond "global conditions". But the truth is that recent domestic energy policies, and how the UK responded to international conditions, have also played their part.
For example, while it was still a member of the EU, the UK should have strongly opposed increasing dependence upon gas from Russia. Currently, the energy giant Gazprom provides around 40% of Europe's requirements, a proportion likely to increase if the new Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany is given the go-ahead to be used. Apart from the geopolitical concerns of giving so much leverage to Vladimir Putin, it surely makes economic common sense not to be over reliant on just one supplier.
After the closure of its biggest gas storage facility, the UK was at least wise enough to have increased the volume of imports of liquefied natural gas (mostly from Qatar) as well as pipeline deliveries from Norwegian gas fields. But there are local measures to be considered too.
For example, the government should be taking a stronger position on developing the Cambo oil field off the Shetland Islands. Facing political pressure, Shell pulled out of the project at the end of 2021, while the largest investor is reportedly getting cold feet. This could mean leaving the production of an estimated 53.5 billion cubic feet of gas undeveloped, not to mention 180 million barrels of oil.
This is a missed opportunity to source oil and gas where it is needed rather than using energy to transport it across the globe. It also represents a significant loss to the broader UK economy, where tax revenues from the offshore oil sector have fallen in the last year to Pound 250 million. In 2015 the figure was Pound 500 million.
There are also 150,000 people working in the UK offshore sector, for which Cambo might have secured jobs. And while we would all like to reduce our carbon emissions, the reality is that the world will continue to consume around 100 million barrels of oil every day for a long time to come.
Why is it preferable to encourage international companies to source oil off Angola or Malaysia? If it is going to be used in the UK, it is better to produce it in the UK, creating jobs and boosting tax revenues.
The same applies to the UK's large shale gas reserve potential, which is being foreclosed over concerns about earthquakes.
And while the UK cannot set the international wholesale price of natural gas, there are domestic policy changes which could significantly mitigate the current situation.
Misplaced subsidies
To address higher retail prices for gas and electricity, numerous commentators have been making the point that Ofgem, the energy regulator, could reduce or eliminate the green levies and network charges being used in support of renewable generation. According to Ofgem, nearly half the consumer energy bill comprises network costs and environmental costs, while less than 30% is the wholesale price of energy.
As my recent research shows, the burden of supporting renewable energy falls disproportionately on lower income households. (This is not just a problem in the UK, but in every country encouraging renewable energy with various subsidies.)
In effect, wealthy people living in a large detached home with a heat pump and solar panels are being subsidised in consuming renewable energy by low-income families living in rented accommodation.
Support for investment in renewable energy needs to be changed, moving the burden from consumers to investors. Currently, with the network providing connection to the grid plus energy sources to back up intermittent output, renewable investors have a free ride. Levies which fund this should not be included in household energy bills when investors could easily absorb the cost without it acting as a deterrent.
On the subject of bills, cutting VAT on fuel would be useful, but the benefits would not be large. As for the recently floated idea of a windfall tax on offshore oil, this is not a solution. Taking away profits whenever prices happen to increase is a guaranteed way of discouraging price-reducing production.
For the time being, the UK now has the worst of both worlds: a misguided attempt to combine competition between energy retailers with price caps on what consumers pay for their bills. Instead it should either let prices be determined by markets and provide help to those in fuel poverty, or regulate the price, guaranteeing a return to energy retailers. Not a mix of the two. So although the UK cannot determine the global price for energy, the government still has plenty of options which it could use to improve the situation for millions of struggling bill payers.

Thistle launches coffee bar chain
Upmarket hotel chain Thistle Hotels is hoping to capitalise on the burgeoning coffee bar market with the launch of a new coffee bar and deli concept called CoMotion, which could become a standalone franchise operation.
Thistle has launched a pilot in its Marble Arch hotel and hopes to open three more hotel outlets later in the year. The company will look at developing the concept beyond hotels if the bars are successful.
Stefan Breg, Thistle's food and beverage director and former Grand Met executive, says: "The concept has huge potential. CoMotion is a fusion of New York deli with an Italian café and was borne out of a need for a speedy and flexible format."
The coffee bar market has grown so dramatically in the past few years that it has attracted the fast food giant McDonald's.
It bought London-based coffee bar chain Aroma for about £10m in March this year.
Some analysts expect the market to continue its rapid growth and see the 300 or so coffee bars expand to as many as 1,500 outlets.
Other competitors in the coffee bar market include Starbucks, which bought the Seattle Coffee Company last year, and the Whitbread-owned Costa Coffee.
Thistle Hotels owns 24 hotels in the capital and 36 four-star properties across the country.

Politicians can't ignore their faith
Fr Raymond De Souza
Yesterday's Vatican document on the obligation of Catholic politicians to oppose legal recognition of homosexual unions can be summarized in one sentence: You can't believe two contradictory things at the same time.
Father Raymond De Souza
The teaching of the Catholic Church � along with the unanimous moral tradition taught for millennia by all major religions � is unquestionably clear. Homosexual acts are immoral, and therefore, as yesterday's document stated, cannot be recognized as the basis for "marriage, which is holy." Anyone who believes this � and faithful Catholics presumably do � therefore cannot be part of an effort to promote legal approbation of homosexual unions.
Many Catholic politicians in Canada are doing just that � including the Prime Minister, his presumptive successor and the Justice Minister. They have explained that their legislative views and their religious faith are two separate things.
Two questions arise: Is this approach in fact possible? And is it morally coherent? The Church � and basic logic � answer no to both.
Is it possible to separate one's legislative views from one's religious faith? Take the venerable Tommy Douglas for example. A Christian clergyman and founder of the CCF (forerunner of today's NDP), his religious faith was the principal animating factor of his political campaigns for an expanded welfare state. Was he imposing his religious faith on others by voting for health care or social assistance programs? To have told Tommy Douglas to separate his religious faith from his political program would have struck him as absurd. The same would apply to innumerable campaigns for human rights or social justice that were animated by religious faith � suffice it to mention the celebrated anti-slavery campaign of William Wilberforce in 19th-century Britain.
More fundamentally, if a politician is a serious person, his religious faith will inform his entire worldview. How exactly does he then separate this from his public policy decisions? Would it be possible for an MP to separate his biblically motivated concern for the stewardship of creation from his vote on an environmental bill? And if he were to somehow ignore his convictions on those things most important to him, what basis would there be for a decision? To remove religiously grounded convictions from policy-making is to move a giant step toward raw political power as the only determinant of public policy.
Despite that danger, that approach is advocated by many Catholic politicians in different political parties. Can one do so and remain morally coherent?
The Vatican document said that "the scope of the civil law is certainly more limited than the moral law." A Catholic is obligated to attend Mass every Sunday; the civil law does not address such questions. So not every religious prescription should be written into law. There are religious matters on which the civil law is and should remain silent. The Apostles Creed should not be in the Constitution.
Yet what happens when the civil law is in conflict with the moral law? Martin Luther King, Jr., in his famous 1963 Letter from a Birmingham City Jail, gave the ancient answer a modern voice. He was encouraging white pastors to give political expression to the Christian brotherhood they professed in faith. A politician cannot profess something as wrong according to his conscience, and then promote it in his legislative acts. To do so is simply to say that he is both in favour and against the same thing at the same time. It is morally incoherent. In contrast, the Vatican document reminds Christians that they are obligated "in every occasion, [to] give witness to the whole moral truth."
The Vatican's document has been widely described as a "directive" to Catholic politicians. And while the Vatican does issue what it calls "Instructions" from time to time, yesterday's document bore the more unusual title "Considerations." It would be patronizing to "instruct" Catholics to not act in self-contradictory ways; instead Catholic politicians are invited to "consider" what it means for their own integrity to drive a wedge between their beliefs and their acts. The Church respects the political vocation too much to accept the moral dodge that beliefs are "personal" while legislation is "public." All human acts are personal and therefore bear moral scrutiny. The only thing which a politician can separate himself from by such formulations is his personal integrity.
The Catholic temptation to adjust one's moral compass to the prevailing political conditions is an ancient one. Often the cost of integrity has been martyrdom. It is the courageous choice always available to the honest believer. And a choice always has to be made � between what one professes to be true and what the demands of a particular political situation may be. Yesterday's Vatican document clarifies � as have Canada's Catholic bishops over the past weeks � that you can't choose contradictory things at the same time. Something has to give.
A Post headline writer summarized the situation yesterday: Martin Puts His Faith Second. Just so.

Assist Consultants Inc.
B-408365.2 Aug 02, 2013
Skip to Highlights
Assist Consultants Inc., of Kabul, Afghanistan, protests the evaluation of its proposal submitted in response to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. W56KJD-13-R-0008, issued by the Department of the Army for supply and delivery of petroleum fuel products to Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) sites throughout Afghanistan. Assist argues that the agency improperly found that its proposal was technically unacceptable, and therefore ineligible for award.
We deny the protest.
Matter of: Assist Consultants Inc.
File: B-408365.2
Faron McFarland, Assist Consultants Inc., for the protester.
Maj. Samuel E. Gregory, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of the Army,
for the agency.
Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as technically unacceptable is denied where the agency reasonably found that the protester's proposal failed to comply with a mandatory technical requirement.
The RFP anticipated the award of multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contracts, under which fixed-price delivery orders would be competed. RFP at 5-6. The ordering period for the ID/IQ contracts was expected to be from June 1, 2013, through December 31, 2014.
Evaluation Factors
The RFP indentified the following evaluation factors: (1) price, (2) technical capability, and (3) past performance. Id. § M.1(c). The technical capability factor had three subfactors: (1) fuel fleet requirements, (2) quality control plan, and (3) vetting plan. Id. To receive consideration for award, proposals had to achieve a rating of no less than acceptable for the technical capability factor. Id. § M.1(c).
The RFP stated that all proposals would be evaluated for responsiveness to the solicitation and completeness with regard to price. Id. § M.1(d). The government would rank offerors by price, from lowest to highest, and then, beginning with the lowest-priced, responsive offeror, the agency would evaluate the proposal for technical and past performance acceptability. Id. If a proposal was found to be technically acceptable, and was evaluated as either acceptable or neutral in past performance, that offeror would be selected as an awardee. Id.
As relevant here, under Factor 2, technical capability, the RFP stated that a proposal would be evaluated "to determine the extent it demonstrates a comprehensive and complete capability to perform the work described in the solicitation" and that "[o]fferors must be responsive to all of the requirements in the solicitation, and provide sufficient information to allow evaluation of the proposals." Id. § M.3(b)(i). The solicitation also stated that the technical proposal "must be succinct, specific, detailed, and complete" and "must clearly demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirement." Id. § M.3(b)(ii). Offerors were further advised that "[g]eneral statements that offerors understand the factors and can or will comply with the requirements of the solicitation will be considered inadequate" and that "[s]tatements to the effect that offeror understands, can or will comply with the solicitation . . . will be considered unacceptable." Id. § M.3(b)(iii).
The RFP stated that to be considered technically acceptable, "offerors must be considered technically acceptable in all technical areas (Subfactors 1-3)." Id. § M.3(b)(v). Under subfactor 2 of the technical capability factor, quality control plan, the RFP stated that "[t]he quality control plan shall include detailed procedures to identify, mitigate and prevent defective commodities" and that "[d]efective commodities include, but are not limited to: failure to deliver on requested date and/or time, delivery of the incorrect quantity of fuel, delivery of the wrong type of fuel, or delivery of fuel that does not meet the quality standards identified in the [Statement of Work]." Id. § M.3(b)(1).
To receive a pass rating under this subfactor, an offeror's quality control plan was required to pass all of the elements listed in the RFP's evaluation criteria. Specifically, the RFP included the following standard which contained the specific elements, as relevant here, required to pass the quality control plan subfactor:
Pass: Without restating the requirement, the offeror must submit a plan that details all of the following:
1. Provide sample fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased for this contract. See Section 4.1 of the SOW [Statement of Work] for specifics.
Fail: The Offeror's plan fails to provide any one of the elements required to "pass."
Evaluation and award
The Army received proposals from 87 offerors, including Assist, and evaluated all of the proposals for responsiveness. AR, Tab 16, Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD) at 10. A total of 44 proposals, including Assist's, were considered responsive. Id. at 14. The agency ranked the 44 proposals from lowest to highest based upon their proposed price[1] and then evaluated them for technical acceptability. Id. The agency found 9 of the proposals technically acceptable, and the remaining 35, including Assist's, technically unacceptable. Id. at 16. The Army deemed all nine of the technically acceptable offers acceptable or neutral in past performance, and found that all nine offerors were responsible. Id. at 18-19. The agency awarded multiple award contracts to these nine offerors. Id. at 20.
On May 18, 2013, the agency notified Assist that its proposal was rated technically unacceptable. AR, Tab 17, Unsuccessful Offeror Notice (May 18, 2013) at 1. Assist requested a debriefing, which it received on May 22. The debriefing stated that Assist's proposal was found technically unacceptable under two of the RFP's technical capability subfactors: quality control plan and vetting plan. AR, Tab 18, Debrief Letter (May 22, 2013) at 1. In particular, Assist's proposal failed two of the mandatory elements required for the quality control plan, and one of the mandatory elements required for the vetting plan, which the debrief letter explained as follows:
Failed Subfactor 2.1
Comments: No documents provided, Proposal does not provide fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased.
Comments: While the vendor does speak on non-conforming product or service (pg 25), it deals with vendor long-term actions. No discussion is pointed toward replacement or remediation of the off spec fuel within the required 24 hour period.
Comments: No discussion on reinvestigation procedures and timeframes.
This protest followed.
Assist argues that the Army unreasonably found its proposal unacceptable with regard to the RFP's following three mandatory elements: (1) the requirement under subfactor 2 to provide fuel testing documents; (2) the requirement under subfactor 2 to provide a written step-by-step plan to remedy a rejected fuel delivery within 24 hours; and (3) the requirement under subfactor 3 to discuss procedures regarding periodic reinvestigations of employees to ensure no criminal misconduct or suspected insurgent activity. For the reasons discussed below, we conclude that the agency reasonably evaluated the protester's proposal as unacceptable for failing to provide the required fuel testing documents under subfactor 2. Because offerors were required to receive a pass rating for each mandatory element to be considered for award, we need not address the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as failing to provide either the written plan to remedy rejected fuel deliveries, or the discussion of its procedures regarding periodic reinvestigations of employees.
The evaluation of an offeror's proposal is a matter within the agency's discretion. IPlus, Inc., B-298020, B-298020.2, June 5, 2006, 2006 CPD ¶ 90 at 7, 13. A protester's mere disagreement with the agency's judgment in its determination of the relative merit of competing proposals does not establish that the evaluation was unreasonable. VT Griffin Servs., Inc., B-299869.2, Nov. 10, 2008, 2008 CPD ¶ 219 at 4. In reviewing a protest against an agency's evaluation of proposals, our Office will not reevaluate proposals but instead will examine the record to determine whether the agency's judgment was reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria and applicable procurement statutes and regulations. See Shumaker Trucking & Excavating Contractors, Inc., B-290732, Sept. 25, 2002, 2002 CPD ¶ 169 at 3.
Assist contends that the Army unreasonably found its proposal unacceptable for failing to include sample fuel testing documents. To receive a pass rating under subfactor 2, an offeror's quality control plan was required to "pass" all of the elements listed in the RFP's evaluation criteria. One of the mandatory elements listed under subfactor 2 required that offerors submit a plan that detailed the following:
Provide sample fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased for this contract. See Section 4.1 of the SOW for specifics.
RFP § M.3(b)(1).
The agency found Assist's proposal unacceptable under subfactor 2 because its quality control plan did not include sample fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased for the contract. See AR, Tab 13, Technical Evaluator No. 1 Form, at 4 ("Proposal does not provide fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased."); Tab 14, Technical Evaluator No. 2 Form, at 4 ("No documents provided."); Tab 15, Technical Evaluator No. 3 Form, at 4 ("Fail--not provided."); Tab 16, SSDD, at 32 ("Fail--not provided.").
Assist concedes that it did not provide any sample fuel testing documents with its proposal. Comments at 1 ("Assist does not deny that its proposal lacked [sample fuel testing documents]."). The protester contends, however, that the RFP did not require that offerors provide such documents in their proposal, and instead asserts that the RFP required only that offerors submit a plan that set forth "procedures to identify, mitigate and prevent defective commodities." Comments at 5.
Where a protester and agency disagree over the meaning of solicitation language, we will resolve the matter by reading the solicitation as a whole and in a manner that gives effect to all of its provisions; to be reasonable, and therefore valid, an interpretation must be consistent with the solicitation when read as a whole and in a reasonable manner. Alluviam LLC, B-297280, Dec. 15, 2005, 2005 CPD ¶ 223 at 2; Fox Dev. Corp., B-287118.2, Aug. 3, 2001, 2001 CPD ¶ 140 at 2.
In support of its interpretation, the protester relies on a sentence in the RFP concerning sample fuel testing documents which directs offerors to "[s]ee Section 4.1 of the SOW for specifics." RFP § M.3(b)(1). Assist argues that under Section 4.1, an offeror's obligation to provide quality control documents during performance is left solely to the agency's discretion, and therefore, the RFP required only that an offeror's quality control plan identify "procedures" for providing such documentation during performance, if ever requested, and that Assist's quality control plan identified the procedures it would use during performance to comply with the requirements of SOW Section 4.1.[2] Comments at 5.
We conclude that the agency's interpretation of the RFP was reasonable, and that the protester's differing interpretation is not reasonable. As discussed above, to "pass" subfactor 2, the RFP required that offerors "[p]rovide sample fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased for this contract." RFP § M.3(b)(1). The RFP also stated that any plan that "fails to provide any one of the elements required to 'pass,'" including the requirement to provide sample fuel testing documents, will "fail" the subfactor. Id. Finally, the RFP stated that "offerors must be considered technically acceptable in all [subfactors]" to be considered technically acceptable overall. Id. § M.3(b). We think the RFP clearly advised that the agency would evaluate whether offerors submitted sample fuel testing documents as one of the mandatory elements required for acceptability under subfactor 2.
With regard to the RFP's reference to Section 4.1 of the SOW, while the pertinent portion of Section 4.1 discusses, among other things, that fuel testing documents must be provided upon request during contract performance,[3] this reference does not negate the RFP's requirement that offerors must provide sample fuel testing documents as part of their proposed quality control plans. Absent an express exception to the unequivocal requirement that offerors must provide sample fuel testing documents from all refineries where fuel will be purchased for this contract, there was no reasonable basis for Assist to ignore the requirement or interpret the requirement more loosely. See LS3 Inc., B-401948.11, July 21, 2010, 2010 CPD ¶ 168 at 2-3; SNAP, Inc., B-402746, July 16, 2010, 2010 CPD ¶ 165 at 3. In sum, the protester's interpretation is contrary to the clear terms of the RFP, and thus, unreasonable.[4]
Alternatively, Assist argues that interpreting the RFP as requiring offerors to provide sample fuel testing documents with their quality control plans evidences a latent ambiguity, of which it became aware only after its proposal was rejected. This argument is without merit. As discussed above, we find that the agency's reading of the RFP was the only reasonable one; in other words, the RFP was not ambiguous. LS3 Inc., supra, at 2-3. In any event, even if we agreed that the provision requiring submission of the documents was ambiguous, any ambiguity was patent, i.e., clear or obvious on the face of the RFP, rather than latent. Since any alleged ambiguity regarding these provisions was apparent on the face of the RFP itself, a protest on this ground was required to be filed prior to the submission of proposals. Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a)(1); U.S. Facilities, Inc., B-293029, B-293029.2, Jan. 16, 2004, 2004 CPD ¶ 17 at 10. For this reason, even if we were to conclude that the solicitation requirements regarding sample fuel testing documents were ambiguous, Assist cannot now timely challenge this matter.
The protest is denied.
Susan A. Poling
[1] Assist's proposal was ranked the fifth lowest-priced. Id. at 15.
[2] Assist also argues that it was unreasonable for the RFP to require offerors to provide sample documents, without defining the form and content of the documents, when technical acceptability is being evaluated on a pass/fail basis. To the extent the protester contends that the solicitation was flawed, this argument is untimely. Bid Protest Regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 21.2(a)(1) (2013) (Protests based upon alleged improprieties in a solicitation which are apparent prior to the time set for receipt of initial proposals shall be filed prior to the time set for receipt of initial proposals).
[3] Section 4.1 states, as relevant here: "The contractor shall deliver the [fuel] products free of liquid and solid contaminates, sand, dirt, sediment and 'free' water in accordance with [stated applicable] standards. . . . In addition, batch quality control documents from the refinery where the fuel was purchased must be provided to the U.S. Government upon request." RFP, SOW § 4.1.1.
[4] The protester also contends that its interpretation is reasonable because the agency found other offerors' proposals technically unacceptable for failing to include sample fuel testing documents, which means that these offerors "interpreted the Solicitation with respect to the quality control plan the same way as Assist and shared the same fate." Comments at 6-7. The protester's assumption about the other offerors, however, is unavailing. The record does not show that the other offerors shared Assist's interpretation of the RFP's requirements, and more importantly, the fact remains that Assist's interpretation contradicts the plain language of the RFP.

I have a serious problem that I have been facing for about 3 days.
The pom.xml gives me errors on dependencies after making maven-> project; and I discovered that the problems I know occur with alfreco.
So all the dependencies that have the tag "<groupId> org.alfresco </ groupId>" in the pom.xml, I get an error on that file.
Anyone could kindly help me?
In your repositories configuration you should probably include the public repository group of the Alfresco Nexus server, not (just) the individual public repositories. That way you also have access to any third-party libraries that Alfresco Nexus provides via proxies or locally managed dependencies. The URL for that group would be https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/ and https://artifacts.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots/ for snapshots.
If you write a custom Maven POM, you are of course responsible for it working yourself. You can always opt to use the Alfresco SDK for Maven, which provides a bit of a pre-configured approach helpful for getting started (not necessarily for high-end professional projects though), where you should generally not have this kind of issues. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 38 |

Royal Albert Hall to celebrate 150 years of music with a host of stars
The Royal Albert Hall will be celebrating its 150th anniversary with a raft of musical shows – despite the inevitable challenges thrown up by the coronavirus pandemic.
The iconic building – which was opened by Queen Victoria in 1871 – has survived two World Wars, but it's fair to say that COVID-19 may be the historic venue's biggest challenge yet, forcing it to close its doors to the public during lockdown.
A programme of events including major new commissions, headline shows and historic community events will begin on 29 March 2021 – exactly 150 years on from its opening – and extend into 2022.
Image: Members of the Women's Institute outside the hall in 1971
Highlights include a special birthday concert, led by multi award-winning Bond composer David Arnold.
The year-long collaboration will involve hundreds of local schoolchildren, community members and the Chelsea Pensioners.
Swan Lake choreographer Matthew Bourne will stage The Car Man – his contemporary take on Bizet's well-known opera Carmen.

Bourne told Sky News: "I've never actually had my company perform here before, so I'm absolutely thrilled.
More from Covid-19
"This venue means so much to me. I always think of the Albert Hall as not just the most iconic venue in London, but the country… so to be performing something that's never been seen before here, on a larger, expanded, spectacular stage is really incredible."
He says they are doubling the cast and the orchestra, and they will also be expanding the stage into the arena: "We're going to have a sort of a roadway across the arena to the stage… right through the audience."

Multi award-winning composer and musician Nitin Sawhney will curate a week-long festival celebrating the lives and contributions of immigrants over the last 150 years.
Other artists helping the venue to celebrate its birthday include Patti Smith, KT Tunstall, Gregory Porter, Nile Rodgers and Alfie Boe.
There will also be the big reveal of the completed restoration of the hall's historic facade, following four years of painstaking work.
The venue's chief executive, Craig Hassall, told Sky News: "All the scaffolding has gone, the horrible Portakabins have gone. She's absolutely gleaming on the outside. Our teams have been working really hard behind the scenes and done an amazing job and the whole hall looks better than I've ever seen it before. It's as though it just opened its doors."

He said there was a point early on in the pandemic when he feared the hall would never open again, but he's feeling much more confident and optimistic now.
"Since its opening, this extraordinary venue has borne witness to, and played a central part in, seismic cultural and social change," he said.
"The interests, manners and social mores of the people may have changed, but this beautiful building and what it represents remains the same a century-and-a-half later: a meeting place, a reflection of contemporary Britain, and a home for exhilarating live performance and events of international significance."
Paying tribute to her great-great-grandfather in a commemorative anniversary book, The Queen says: "I have been Patron of the Royal Albert Hall since 1953, and my family and I have enjoyed many events including the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, the Centenary of the Women's Institute, and even my 92nd Birthday celebration.
"As it embarks on its next 150 years, I hope that the Royal Albert Hall will continue to thrive, and that many more people will have the opportunity to make their own memories of this wonderful building".
Queen Victoria named the hall in memory of her husband, Prince Albert, with the aim of creating a venue that would democratise and promote the arts and sciences.
Christmas celebrations at the hall will kick off with carols – albeit with a smaller audience than normal – on 9 December, led by the Royal Choral Society, which has performed there every year since 1872. Services will also be streamed live.
A full line-up of planned anniversary events can be found on the Royal Albert Hall website.

Now that my inner self has had a little taste of the wild, it won't easily be domesticated again.
These blogs were written by women my age—raised in the '70s and '80s Free-To-Be-You-And-Me era, when women could do anything, while hating housework—who not only embraced housework and childrearing, but had turned domestic drudgery into an art they showcased in viral blogposts. Soft-focus photos showcased gardens bountiful with zucchini and repurposed park benches, homes decorated with hand-quilted bedspreads and cross-stitched samplers, tables laid with vats of garden-vegetable soup and jars of homemade pickles. Their kids were homeschooled or unschooled or Waldorf-schooled and infinitely creative, with a slightly ragged, fairy-tale waif look in their homespun smocks and wind-tangled hair.
These bloggers' politics appeared to be liberal, their social stance feminist, and yet they had taken the shards of the glass ceiling and glued them back together, decoupaging the whole thing and baking it a cake. Their husbands had mysterious and lucrative careers (the husbands were rarely mentioned) that afforded these radical housewives not only the luxury of opting out of both work and the modern world, but also the high-end computers and cameras used to document their perfect days.
At the time I had toddler twins and a kindergartener. I worked three days a week at an unsatisfying job in a state agency and tried to fit a full-time stay-at-home mom schedule into the other four days—shuttling my kids to music and gymnastic classes and day camps, taking them to museums and the beach, doing art projects and building block towers. I was exhausted. My house was a mess. I was sick of cooking for kids who turned their noses up at everything I placed before them. The headliner in my car was falling down. I was depressed.
I hated those Perfectly Perfect women, yet I could not stop reading their blogs. I started my own blog, borrowing the computer and camera from my husband's business, intending to document my own messy, imperfect life. But over time something happened. I started to get inspired by my blog nemeses. I began to make things and document them on my blog—loaves of bread, sofa pillows, scarves, jars of jam. This behavior was not entirely unprecedented—I already knew how to knit and sew and I'd been known to whip up batches of toffee or cookies for Christmas gifts. I come from a long line of crafty ladies—women who knitted, sewed, crocheted, and baked cakes, who had limited opportunities in life and funneled their creative energy into the domestic sphere. I also found that each time I created something by hand—accomplished a task that did not need to be repeated endlessly like most household and parenting chores—my persistent, low-level anxiety and depression abated.
For many years I went on like this, knitting, quilting, and baking myself out of despair. My house got neater, our menu more interesting, and I involved my kids in more creative projects than I might otherwise have. We made seasonal decorations, baked holiday cookies, went on nature walks, all recorded and documented with my cheap digital camera on my less-than-perfect blog.
And then a couple of years ago I stopped reading the Perfectly Perfect blogs and started reading a different kind of online journal entirely—long-distance hiking blogs.
The kids were older and less interested in projects, political changes turned my job from dreary to nightmarish, and I could no longer hold my depression at bay by knitting a hat or painting a chair. My husband and I had hiked the 500-mile Colorado Trail when we first started dating and at the time I envisioned a life of travel and adventure. We had taken the kids hiking and camping over the years, but now I was ready to do something big. I would quit my job and the five of us would hike the Colorado Trail together, exactly 20 years after my husband and I first made the trek.
My domestic skills came in handy as I prepared for the trip—I sewed sleeping quilts and made waterproof pack covers and stuff sacks for our gear. I planned meals for 42 days that would involve no cooking, to save the weight of a stove, fuel, and cookware. I looked forward to the six weeks free of food preparation and housework almost as much as I did to the stunning vistas and wildflowers. This hike would be amazing.
And it was amazing. We spent a six weeks hiking among some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. We saw moose and bighorn sheep and elk and pikas and weasels. We spent days above tree line, with views of mountains beyond mountains in every direction, the ground carpeted in flowers of every color. We breathed clean mountain air and drank from crystal clear streams. Our kids developed skills and self-confidence and a camaraderie they never would have found in daily life.
I never tired of the changing scenery, but toward the end of the trip the repetitive tasks—setting up and taking down camp every day, loading and unloading packs, washing the five bowls from which we ate our cold food—began to feel as tedious as repetitive tasks at home. My feet hurt and my body ached. I was physically ready to be done hiking, but not mentally ready to return to daily life.
We got home the day before school started and I spent that first frantic day last-minute back-to-school shopping and ferrying kids to sports and friends' houses. The next day, home alone, I found myself restless and unable to settle down. Our house-sitters had left the house neat, but not exactly clean. A summer's worth of pollen dusted every surface. Spiders and their webs lurked in the corners. Grit stuck to my feet when I walked barefoot across the floor.
I decided to clean one room in the house, choosing the upstairs bathroom, usually the last room to get attention. I cleaned it as if a guest was coming, wiping dust from the shelves and windowsill, washing the light fixture, mopping the floor. As I worked I found that cleaning the bathroom is not nearly as unpleasant as the anticipation of cleaning the bathroom.
It's now been a month since we completed our hike, three weeks since we returned home. I've been putting off cleaning the bathroom again. I feel a bit like the astronaut who returns from the moon and says, "Now what?" My kids are back to their old bickering selves. Cooking and cleaning feel every bit as repetitive and tedious as they did three months ago. I've picked up and put down my knitting needles and sewing projects. Now that my inner self has had a little taste of the wild, it won't easily be domesticated again.

For a native English speaker learning French, one of the sharpest thorns in the flesh (after the wretched verbs, of course) is the question of gender – is a noun masculine or feminine. Many's the time my students, making a good fist of conversing in French, suddenly stop, look up to the ceiling, down to the floor, frown and grimace, causing the flow to stop and all because they are unsure of the gender of a word.
The first thing to understand is that it doesn't matter a tuppenny damn if you get it wrong. It is far more important to keep the conversation flowing. The question of gender is a nonsense: the same word can be masc or fem with different meanings (vase, livre, tour); some words are one gender in the singular and the other in the plural (délice, amour) and some can be masc or fem (clope = fag, ciggie).
Have you ever thought that an English pupil learning French nouns for homework has twice as much work to do as his French counterpart who doesn't have gender to worry about.
When I was learning French, I remembered gender (and other things) by what I think is called 'association'. Before I give you some examples, I want to point out that some could be considered sexist and I don't want to be trolled and vilified by affronted women. I know the roles of men and women are blurred, and quite rightly so, but it wasn't like it when I was alive.
Vase (f) = mud. Women wear mud packs.
Make your own up but whatever you do, don't assign a gender to a word on the strength of its being a 'man' or 'woman' thing. Remember! Knickers, bra, petticoat as well as more intimate lady parts are masculine; while shirt, tie, prostate and Adam's apple are feminine.
If in doubt, make the ruddy thing masculine and … keep talking. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 42 |

M. (François-Auguste-Marie-Alexis) Mignet - History of the French Revolution from 1789 to 1814
On his way back from Oxbridge he paid a visit to his uncle in London; but the old gentleman received him with very cold looks, and would scarcely give him his forefinger to shake. He called a second time, but Morgan, the valet, said his master was from home. Pen came back to Fairoaks, and to his books and to his idleness, and loneliness and despair.
William Makepeace Thackeray - The History of Pendennis
Back again to the ethical standard of those old, hard-riding, hard-drinking, hard-swearing days on the range, the refinements of his education submerged, and not one regret for the slip. Morgan did not realize in that moment of surrender to the primitive desires which clamored within him how badly he was wrenched and mauled.
George W. (George Washington) Ogden - Trail's End
Into this group of patriot leaders came also Daniel Morgan of Virginia. Little is known of the early life of this remarkable man. He would rarely say anything about his family. It is believed that he was born of obscure Welsh people, in New Jersey, about the year 1737. At seventeen, Morgan could barely read and write.

Although Major Pendennis was as much surprised at this intelligence regarding his servant, as if he had heard that Morgan was a disguised Marquis, about to throw off his mask and assume his seat in the House of Peers; and although he was of course indignant at the audacity of the fellow who had dared to grow rich under his nose, and without his cognisance; yet he had a natural admiration for every man who represented money and success, and found himself respecting Morgan, and being rather afraid of that worthy, as the truth began to dawn upon him.
"I'd go if we was fifty to one. We'd 'a' got him, too, if it hadn't been for Miss Messiter. 'Twas a chance we ain't likely to get again for a year." "It wasn't your fault you didn't kill him, Mr. Morgan," she said, looking hard at him. "You may be interested to know that your last shot missed him only about six inches, and me about four." "I didn't know who you were," he sullenly defended.
William MacLeod Raine - Wyoming, a Story of the Outdoor West
And right as Arthur was on horseback there came a damosel from Morgan le Fay, and brought unto Sir Arthur a sword like unto Excalibur, and the scabbard, and said unto Arthur, Morgan le Fay sendeth here your sword for great love. And he thanked her, and weened it had been so, but she was false, for the sword and the scabbard was counterfeit, and brittle, and false.
Sir Thomas Malory - Le Mort d'Arthur: Volume 1
In that second of hesitant delay, that breath of portentous bluff, Morgan had read Peden to the roots. A man who had it in him to shoot did not stop at anybody's word when he was that far along the way. "Clear this place and lock it up!" Morgan repeated. The temperature of the crowded hall seemed to fall forty degrees in the second or two Morgan stood pushing his rifle against Peden's breastbone.
So of course it was a foregone conclusion that he should win the girl that his younger brother, among others, adored to distraction. "His family hoped that his love for his young wife would change him for the better. But there was something tamelessly wild in Richard Hynds. He would have done very well, very well indeed, in the Golden Hind with Drake, or in the Jesus with Morgan.

Hair trends come and go, but the half-up half-down hairstyle is a classic regardless of your length, colour or DIY hairdressing skills. Whether your hair is too short to sweep into the full ponytail or you're looking to add a twist to your usual waves, there are many reasons why the half-up half-down is a tried and tested favourite.
Despite its simplicity, don't be mistaken into thinking that the half-up half-down hairstyle isn't versatile. There are various ways to transform this classic hairstyle to suit different events. Here are some of Rebecca Oates' favourite ways to reinvent the half-up half-down hairstyle, without compromising ease or style.
Braids have been a popular trend for years now. This romantic, bohemian hairstyle is particularly suited to those with thick hair and is perfect when paired with cascading waves. There is also plenty of room to move with this style; you can wrap one or two braids around your head depending on the volume of your hair.
Continuing with our affinity for braids, the fishtail braid is the edgy older sister to your typical plait. Prep your hair with a spritz of texturising or salt spray for added volume and feel free to pull out strands from your fishtail braid for an effortlessly tousled look.
Arguably the most elegant variation of the half-up half-down hairstyle, the twisted half-up is deceptively simple. Achieved by simply twisting two strands and pinning them back, the twisted half-up takes only a matter of minutes. For more formal events or an alternative bridal look, elevate this style by threading some delicate flowers through your twists.
Inject some retro style into your do by incorporating a beehive into your half-up half-down hairstyle. If you're looking to channel your inner Brigitte Bardot, opt for a rumpled beehive with face-framing strands to draw attention to those all-important facial features. Alternatively, keep your half-up beehive neat if you're more into Audrey Hepburn's perfectly manicured elegance.
The knotted half-up half-down style is a casual alternative to the classic half-up look, and is perfect for festivals. This style is really versatile, and pairs equally well with beachy waves or poker-straight locks. Depending on the event, this look can be either complemented or elevated with a natural or dramatic makeup look.
Whether you're after something simple for a formal event or something a bit more adventurous for a night on the town, Rebecca Oates has you covered. Our expert Bicton hairdressers are trained in both classic and modern hairstyles and are happy to help you find the perfect hairstyle for your next event.
