7/7 The Untold Story: The Big Issue

The Big Issue has a piece out about the lack of an inquiry into 7/7.

Blogger Armchair Sceptic said...

I still do not understand why there has been no inquiry. What you have been through could have happened to any of us. It's as if the Government is trying to make us forget this atrocity, and the issues surrounding it.

Hope When No One Understands

hope for hurting heartsSo glad to see you back for this last week of the Hope for Hurting Hearts series!  If you’ll click over to the Hope for Hurting Hearts  page, you’ll find all the links for the series.

This week the Holy Spirit seemed to be whispering to me,

“Write about the hope I bring when no one understands what you are going through.”

Many times we lose our hope because we simply feel like no one could possibly understand what we are going through.  After all, a person may have experienced the same loss, the same circumstance, or the same heartaches as we have, but we still feel like “She is not me and she isn’t experiencing the same feelings I’m experiencing.” No one can know for sure what we are feeling until we express them.  Even then, flawed interpretations occur or social filters come into play.  But this prayer of Solomon breathes life into me when I feel like there is no one who can understand my view of a situation….

Solomon had been given the privilege of building the temple of the Lord- a place for the spirit of God to dwell.  I try to imagine what it must have been like- I Kings 8 details the scene for us as the ark of the covenant was brought down and placed in the temple.  Then a cloud filled the temple and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

I Kings 8:11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the LORD filled his temple.

What a spectacular event to behold! I have to stop and think how cool it is that the priests had to stop working because God was present.

God’s  true presence requests, requires,

that we stop working in our strength

and rely on His.

As Solomon stands before the altar, he begins to pray.  Beautifully and eloquently expressed, you can read Solomon’s prayer in I Kings 8:23-53.  Today I just want to take one verse from the passage- one that tells me how to handle issues that no one can understand. Verse 39:

then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with each man according to all he does, since you know his heart (for you alone know the hearts of all men),

 For you alone know the hearts of all men.

Isn’t it interesting that this phrase is in parentheses?  I don’t believe it was because Solomon felt the statement was a sidebar. Or unimportant. No, the parentheses are telling us that Solomon felt this statement was obvious, yet important.

hope for hurting hearts

Therein lies our hope.

Do you need God to give you hope because no one understands?  We’d love to encourage you and pray for you in the comments below.

Bloggers, be sure to link up today!

AND we’ll begin a new 5 week series next week, Grace Is For Giving, and continue with the Monday blogger linkup.

Surprise! Today I’m unveiling the new cover for my Christmas ebook:

A 12 day Holiday devotional, this ebook will encourage you that in spite tearful hurts or wrongful circumstances, God loves you and wants to give His gifts to you.

Have a marvelous Monday- see you tomorrow!

    Loved todays post…often hope is hard to see. Great pre post reading for tomorrows blog post for me. It changed some ideas on how I am going to write the post. Your truly inspirational!

  2. says

    Beautiful post, Rachel. That “no one understands” feeling makes me feel so alone. I’m learning to just be still and concentrate on Him. It helps me remember that these lonely feelings will seem fleeting in light of eternity. He is good and will use it to His glory :)

  3. Philomena says

    Thanking God that I came across your book ‘The Sensational Scent of Prayer’ on Kindle and through that, found this blog. So appropriate at this very season of my life. All praise and honour to Him. Blessings. philo

The case for continuous delivery

Building functionality that really delivers the expected customer value

By now, many of us are aware of the wide adoption of continuous delivery within companies that treat software development as a strategic capability that provides competitive advantage. Amazon is on record as making changes to production every 11.6 seconds on average in May of 2011. Facebook releases to production twice a day. Many Google services see releases multiple times a week, and almost everything in Google is developed on mainline. Still, many managers and executives remain unconvinced as to the benefits, and would like to know more about the economic drivers behind CD.

First, let’s define continuous delivery. Martin Fowler provides a comprehensive definition on his website, but here’s my one sentence version: Continuous delivery is a set of principles and practices to reduce the cost, time, and risk of delivering incremental changes to users.

Why feedback?

Maintaining a desired behavior

In two previous posts (Part 1 and Part 2) we introduced the idea of feedback control. The basic idea is that we can keep a system (any system!) on track, by constantly monitoring its actual behavior, so that we can apply corrective actions to the system’s input, to “nudge” it back on target, if it ever begins to go astray.

This begs the question: Why should we, as programmers, software engineers, and system administrator care? What’s in it for us?

Foreign Ministry advises Czech nationals to leave Iraq

The Czech Foreign Ministry has advised Czech nationals in Iraq to leave the country without delay. The ministry said that in view of the escalating violence it was no longer safe for them to remain and it might be even more difficult to leave the country at a later date. The ministry has also issued a travel warning to tourists not to enter the country.

Special team set up to fight tax evasion ready for action

A special team established to fight tax evasion should be up and running by June 15th, Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said on Friday. The team will be made up of close to one hundred people from the ranks of the police, tax and customs authorities and the finance ministry. The tax-evasion squad has been set up along the lines of Slovakia’s Cobra tax inspection team which uncovered tax fraud amounting to 94.2 million euros last year alone. The Czech Republic loses approximately 150 billion crowns a year through tax evasion.

Military training may become compulsory again

The Czech Defence Ministry is drafting a new national defence bill under which the state may be able to order military recruitment even in peacetime, the daily Hospodarské noviny writes in its Friday edition. The Czech military now has roughly 20,000 professional soldiers, but in the event of a military threat, it might need tens of thousands of re-enforcements. Compulsory military service was abolished in 2004, meaning that the last conscripts underwent military training 10 years ago which the army says it too long for them to be sent straight into action. The government is scheduled to debate the bill in the autumn.

Saudi Arabia angered by Czech president’s anti-Muslim statements

The Czech ambassador to Riyad, Jiří Slavík, was summoned to the Saudi Foreign Ministry on Sunday to hear a complaint about President Miloš Zeman's anti-Muslim statements, the daily Lidové noviny reported on Friday. According to the paper the ambassador heard a resolute complaint about a number of the president’s statements the most recent of which pertained to the attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels. Speaking at an Israeli reception President Zeman noted that Islamic ideology was behind such violent attacks. The Czech Foreign Ministry has expressed concern over what it described as heightened tension in Czech-Saudi relations. Foreign Minister Zaorálek said he had invited Arab ambassadors to the Czech Foreign Ministry next week and would discuss the matter with them.

Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka reacted to the news on Friday saying that the president’s statements should not be blown out of proportion and that he had no indication that Saudi Arabia was considering economic sanctions against the Czech Republic over the issue.

Communist Party calls for faster separation of churches from the State

The Communist Party is calling for a faster separation of churches from the State, the ctk news agency reports. The party is unhappy with the scope of the church restitution, which it considers excessive, and says this could be one way of easing the burden on public finances. The restitution law envisages a gradual reduction of state support for churches leading up to a complete separation in 17 years’ time, when churches should become fully financially independent.

Mayor: Prague to take over running of Opencard from current operator

Prague plans to take over operation of the Opencard electronic card system from the middle of this month, Mayor Tomáš Hudeček told the Czech News Agency. City Hall has been locked in a dispute with the company eMoneyServices over the figures quoted by the latter for extending a service contract for the Opencard, which is used for public transport and other services. Mr. Hudeček said Prague would begin operating the Opencard itself once its current contracts end with eMoneyServices; it holds the copyright on the system but could not be contacted by the Czech News Agency on Thursday. The Opencard cost CZK 1.35 billion to implement and has been mired in controversy.

Czech president to attend freedom celebrations in Budapest

Czech President Miloš Zeman is to join central and east European leaders in Budapest on Monday for Hungary’s celebrations of the fall of communism 25 years ago. The celebrations in Budapest have been planned to coincide with the 31st anniversary of the funeral of the leader of the 1956 uprising Imre Nagy who was executed following the crushing of the rebellion by Soviet forces. The Budapest celebrations are the second in a series of events marking the freedom anniversary around Europe. Other venues where celebrations are due to be held are the German city of Leipzig, Prague and Bratislava.

Lobbyist Martin Dědic released on bail

Lobbyist Martin Dědic who faces corruption charges has been released on bail. According to the state attorney the bail was set at 4 million crowns. Dědic is suspected of accepting bribes, money laundering and involvement in manipulation of public tenders at a hospital and transport company in Ostrava. If convicted he would face up to 12 years in jail. Eight other people have been charged in connection with the case.

Elkán named CEO of Czech Post

Martin Elkán has been named CEO of Czech Post, the ctk news agency reports. Elkán, who headed Czech Post’s marketing division, is expected to lead the institution out of a crisis precipitated by a drop in demand for its traditional services. Czech Post will need to consolidate its finances and expand into new areas, but at the same time meet political demand for it to maintain highly unprofitable small outlets around the country. It currently employs 32,000 people.

News site: Number of injuries on Prague Metro escalators climbing

The number of injuries to passengers riding escalators at Prague Metro stations has risen in recent years, the news website iDnes.cz reported. It said escalators at some stations were running excessively quickly. The number of injuries was 441 last year, compared to 368 in 2009. However, injuries to children’s hands and feet have declined after brushes were installed alongside steps in some stations. Most injuries last year were caused by passengers colliding on escalators. Those in a number of stations, such as Náměstí Míru, run faster than permitted under EU norms, iDnes.cz said.

FOX on Tech: Man Sues For Half of Facebook

Share on FacebookTweet about this on TwitterShare on Google+Share on StumbleUponEmail this to someone

A man in upstate New York is turning up the legal heat on Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg, whose website now has 845 million users and recorded $3.7 billion in revenue last year.

FOX News Radio’s Pat O’Neill has details on just how much he’s seeking:

Audio clip:

FOX on Tech…

Paul Ceglia, who claims he’s entitled to half-ownership of Facebook, has added five attorneys to his legal team.  His lead attorney says that should be seen as a sign of the case’s strength.  Ceglia is suing Facebook and founder Mark Zuckerberg in federal court in Buffalo, saying a contract he signed in 2003 with Zuckerberg, then a Harvard University freshman, entitles him to half of the multibillion-dollar social networking site.

Facebook lawyers say the contract is doctored and has nothing to do with the company.

JouJou - Jana Nachlingerová

Yesterday I got my package from the fresh and just opened webshop Kickcan&Conkers. Its a place for real treasure lovers! One of the small gifts for myself and my sons is the jeu-de-memoire-pairs-memory-game with illustrations of Jana Nachlingerová. She is a young (1983) and talented artist from Czech Republic. We've played the game many times already. I love the simple shapes of Jana's figures and thats why I got an idea of trying to make some nice drawings of them. My son really liked to do that even though he doesn't really like to draw!  So thats a great exception! I think the next time we will try to cut some colorful paper instead of marker. Franek is home the coming few days so I hope we will have some great creative time together.

Random Curiosity

Taiho Shichauzo Full Throttle – 04

Yoriko and Aoi are on traffic patrol duty, as they hand a parking ticket to a man who parked his fancy sports car outside the neighborhood park. As the man apologizes and leaves the scene, the two female (well, Aoi is technically a guy) police officers notice a high school-aged girl in considerable distress. She appears to be looking for something, but because the girl wouldn’t respond to their inquiry, Yoriko suggests that they should leave her alone.

The police car heads for their next patrol location, although the two start to panic at *something* that is lurking inside the car. The officer in charge of communications back at the Bokuto Station catches the screams of Yoriko and Aoi – she requests them to respond. The two-way radio catches further shrieks, although Yoriko is able to squeal in the word “monster.” Worried at what might possibly be going on, several officers of the Bokuto Station make their way outside, as Yoriko and Aoi’s patrol car screeches to a halt before them. Natsumi opens the door, as the two run out.

The culprit of all this chaos…turns out to be a giant iguana, Aya-rin (Aya-rin? Should a pet lizard be called that?). The high school girl that appeared earlier emerges from a taxicab that tracked down Yoriko and Aoi’s police car, and heads straight for her scaly friend. As Yoriko and Aoi apologizes to Kachou for their unprofessional conduct that day, Natsumi and Miyuki brings the girl back home, with her precious Aya-rin. The girl here introduces herself as Yuka-pon (she introduces herself with her pet name; she’s really named Yukari), and brings NatsuMiyu to her apartment.

Yuka-pon’s apartment is full of reptilian creatures roaming around – Natsumi is in awe, although Miyuki is scared for her life. She tries to take her mind off from the collection of cold-blooded critters by reading a field guide on snakes, but loses her cool yet again as Yuka-pon’s pet snake, Shou-kun, approaches and makes physical contact. Natsumi and Yuka-pon turn a blind eye to Natsumi’s suffering as they discuss the wonderful qualities of snakes – like their ability to sense movement by detecting heat.

The pair finally leave Yuka-pon’s place, and Miyuki notices that their patrol car seems to be moving sluggishly. She decides to repair it, but not before Yoriko mentions Miyuki’s encounter with Shou-kun (while Nakajima-kun eavesdrops and completely misunderstood Shou-kun for a human).

With Miyuki in the garage of the Bokuto Station, Natsumi and Nakajima-kun hear a woman screaming. They head back inside the building, as Yuka-pon also barges in – Shou-kun seems to have snuck into the police station somehow. Natsumi requests for the entire station to enter a lockdown, as a hectic search for the lost snake takes place. The snake continues to elude them despite their efforts (including Natsumi’s rash decision to topple over rows of equipment shelves in the storage room).

It starts to rain, so Miyuki – who is still in the garage – closes the only garage door she kept open, noting that the garage door doesn’t seem to be functioning well either. Back at the Bokuto Station, Yoriko finds Shou-kun’s shedded skin right before Miyuki’s locker. Yuka-pon suggests that Shou-kun may have followed Miyuki, so the crew rushes downstairs.

As expected, Shou-kun indeed appears before Miyuki inside the garage. She gives out a large kyaaaaa, and tries to open the garage door, but it won’t budge. Nakajima-kun tries to help his damsel in distress, but fails miserably, so Natsumi forces the door open instead. What they see before them is Miyuki squealing, as Shou-kun is wrapped around her, its tongue trying to slither into her face.

A few days later, NatsuMiyu have a laugh over the case with the giant snake, as they serve as receptionists for a discussion meeting for the Traffic Section of the police station. Yuka-pon enters the building, and runs to greet them. She brought a large bag with her, and she opens it to reveal…Shou-kun. Nakajima-kun runs forward to protect Miyuki, but instead faints as the snake’s tongue dabs at his face. Nakajima-kun, at least you tried. :(

This season of Taiho Shichauzo was severely lacking in the comedy department, so this episode was a total hoot, and an entertaining one at that too. Seeing and hearing Miyuki screech at the top of her lungs as Shou-kun comes close to her is priceless. It did bother me, though, that the animation quality – especially the character drawings – took a brutal beating this time around. Yoriko and Aoi, especially, were drawn off-center and their faces looked asymmetrical for what felt like half of the episode. I really do hope it won’t get any worse.

Next time: Something about babies, cars and locks. Or car locks. Or cars and rock, even. It’s too bad Japanese syllables do not differentiate between r and l

    This show’s so bad, I recommend dropping it.

  • October 28, 2007 at 4:05 pmBROOKLYN otaku

    never saw the first season, so my question is: DO THESE PEOPLE EVER DEAL WITH REAL CRIME????

  • October 29, 2007 at 12:14 amSailor Enlil

    @Broolkyn Otaku:
    Yes they do/did, including a few terrorists and underworld types (their biggest highlight was in the movie). But like real Japanese police, much of their dealings are more mudane stuff like illegaly parked cars, speeders, or other traffic violations, after all they are with the Traffic Division.

  • October 29, 2007 at 4:27 amgolthin

    Is this only 13 episodes? I hope they don’t deal much with relationships this season. I think I got my fill of Miyuki and Natsumi love life in the previous 2 seasons and mini specials etc etc.

    …………when are you going to stop blogging this?It is a waste of time.Why dont you consider blogging something else?

  • October 29, 2007 at 7:58 amNo rive for you

    It would be awesome if they reveal that the female lead characters are lesbians.

  • October 29, 2007 at 10:58 amreanoy

    Apart from childhood nostalgia, is this show really worthwile? It lacks depth, strong storylines and is trivial.

    Theres some attachment to it for those who grew up watching season 1 and 2 but this really is lacking in ‘oomph’ and depth.

  • October 29, 2007 at 11:03 amBROOKLYN otaku

    oohhh! my BAD!! i didnt even notice. they are in fact traffic cops! hahahahah BORING!!
    BUT i will check out the movie, as those usually have the most action and production value “thanks for the up”

    @polar bear

    or they can blog whatever they want on their site, and you just don’t read what they blog of shows you don’t like. afterall, its their blog and their time to waste blogging whatever they want to blog.
    if you want a blog of only shows you want blogged, then make your own, and then you can be in 100% agreement with it forever

  • October 30, 2007 at 5:44 amMakall

    Lol, they’re only blogging this for other people to read.

    If no one is interested in it, why bother?

    And besides, it was just a suggestion he made.

  • October 30, 2007 at 8:42 amedboys

    miyuki got some fear factor

  • October 30, 2007 at 6:34 pmInvoky

    It is not their priority to blogg for people to read. I am sure they are doing this for their own intrest, so they can pick any materials they want to blog. Beside, how do you konw there are noone else interested in this show?

    @polar bear
    Saying “hey what you are doing is a waste of time, because I dont like it!” is just plan rude. It wasnt a polite suggestion, it sounded more like bitching. If you dont like the show, then dont read the blog. Its just simple as that.

  • October 31, 2007 at 8:26 ampolar bear

    @Invoky and @Anonymous

    I am just SUGGESTING.It’s not i rudely ask to change to another anime.Everyone is entitle to their own opinion here,and that is my opinion.You dont have to get so emo over this.I am big fan of Taiho Shichauzo,and i am disappointed that this show does not seem as good as the previous series.So dude,chill out

  • November 1, 2007 at 1:19 amShizuka

    I seriously think this season for You’re under arrest is only gonna focus on miyuki and natsumi. Nakajima seems so useless in all of the ep I think (personal thoughts). But I do enjoy seeing Miyuki and Natsumi solving case together.

  • November 2, 2007 at 4:53 pmkeywin

    this anime provides some good ol fun which one is hard-pressed to find in more ‘modern’ animes that are heavily plot-oriented. it is hence pointless to compare this to other such animes since they fulfill different niches.

    @gil & polar bear: if u did read wat mewmew wrote, surely u would have seen that he (she?) is actually starting to enjoy this series from this ep onwards, so its kinda rude to suggest that he/she drop it now isnt it.

  • November 3, 2007 at 1:15 pmKiraYamatoFan

    Hey! What is going on with the subbing of this one?

Author Topic: Question on operator ModelGrouper  (Read 1015 times)
Posts: 17

« on: June 11, 2009, 05:47:50 PM »

I was wondering about the "scope" of the ModelGrouper, i.e. what exactly will be included into
the model written by the ModelWriter operator (assumed it immediately follows the ModelGrouper).

Will all models from the very beginning of the process chain up to the ModelGrouper be grouped
by this operator?

And what happens when there are some ModelWriters in the chain? Will than the ModelWriter that
follows a ModelGrouper just dump those models into a file that follow a proceeding ModelWriter?

Hi Chris,
the ModelGrouper operator behaves like every operator in RapidMiner: It uses what it recieves. You might make a breakpoint before the ModelGrouper. The result pane will show, which Models are delivered. These are then combined in one single model. The order of the models is determined by the order they are recieved (and hence they are represented in the tab order in the result pane).

These models are then treated as one model, so that all of them are written into a single file, if you use the ModelWriter. They are all restored if you load them again, indepentendly from any operator writing/loading before.

Olbermann: Does Bush want to remake US into 'invisible fascist state'?
Mike Aivaz and Muriel Kane
Published: Tuesday November 6, 2007

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann delivered a blistering special comment on Monday concerning the true significance of the dispute over waterboarding and the essential role played by torture in maintaining the George W. Bush presidency.

"The presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy to cover the ass of George W. Bush," Olbermann began. "All of it is now, after one revelation last week, transparently clear for what it is ... the refocusing of our entire nation towards keeping this mock president ... and all the others from potential prosecution for having approved or ordered the illegal torture of prisoners being held in the name of our country."

The revelation to which Olbermann referred was the account of former acting assistant attorney general Daniel Levin, who, when assigned to assess the legality of the administration's "enhanced interrogation techniques," decided the most direct method was to have himself waterboarded.

"Have you, Mr. Bush, ever done anything that personally courageous?" Olbermann asked. "Perhaps when you've gone to Walter Reed and teared up over the maimed servicemen and then gone back to the White House and confirmed and determined that there would be more maimed servicemen?"

"Daniel Levin should have a statue in his honor in Washington, right now," Olbermann stated. "Instead, he was forced out as acting assistant attorney general nearly three years ago because he had the guts to do what George Bush could not do in a million years. ... They waterboard him, and he wrote that even though he knew those doing it meant him no harm ... he could not stop the terror screaming from inside him, could not quell the horror."

"Waterboarding, he said, is torture," Olbermann continued. "And he wrote it down ... somewhere where it could be contrasted with the words of this country's 43rd president, 'The United States of America does not torture.'"

According to Olbermann, Levin was forced to modify his report to suggest that waterboarding might not be torture if it was done carefully and then was fired because of his inability to lie to protect the president. "If it ever got out," Olbermann noted, once more addressing Bush directly, "you would have been screwed. And screwed you are."

Olbermann then went on to ask why waterboarding was even used on terrorists when it's well documented that "torture does not get them to tell the truth."

"Of course, Mr. Bush," Olbermann stated, "this isn't a problem, is it, if you don't care if the terrorist plots they tell you about are the truth. ... If, say, a president simply needed a constant supply of terrorist threats to keep the country scared ... if, say, he realized that even terrorized people still need good ghost stories before they will let a president pillage the Constitution -- well, heck, Mr. Bush, who better to dream them up for you than an actual terrorist. He'll tell you everything he ever fantasized of doing."

"Now, if that's what this is all about -- you tortured not because you're stupid ... but you tortured because you're smart enough to know it produces really authentic-sounding fiction -- well then, you're going to need all the lawyers you can find, because that crime wouldn't just mean impeachment, would it, sir? That crime would mean George W. Bush is going to prison."

That, Olbermann asserted, is the real explanation for the peculiar inability on the part of Gonzales, Cheney, and Mukasey to agree on a definition of torture -- along with "the giddying prospect that maybe you could ... remake a nation into a fascist state so efficient and so self-sustaining that the fascism itself would be nearly invisible.

"But ultimately," Olbermann concluded, speaking of men like Levin, "these patriots will defeat you, and they will return this country to its righteous standards and to its rightful owners -- the people."

Do You Fly Solo or in a Flock?

Post by Ray 4 years ago - social media marketing - 2 Comments

Are we more creative in flocks?

This short video was inspired by a coffee chat with my good friend, Fanny.  A actor and writer, she just came back from an intense Television industry conference where she had to pitch her idea for a show. (Great, btw) Although stressful, she also added that it was enormously stimulating to be surround by such creativity.

During the conversation I kept pondering the idea that artists thrive when they’re in cliques or artistic ghettos.

I have always bowed at the alter of creativity and wished that I was a waiter at the Algonquin when Dorothy Parker and the gang had their regular lunch and wit-fest. Or perhaps a butler serving the Bloomsbury crowd while they extracted knives from each other’s backs.

There are many examples of artists living and feeding off of each other’s muse; the Beats, Andy Warhol’s Factory;  I’d even add Motown and the Brill building as examples of musicians and artists creating something bigger than what they could have done individually.

In Social Media, we also have our cliques; Mitch Joel and the Media Hacks, Mari Smith and the gang at Social Media Examiner.

Though far from being in intimate proximity with these people, I have benefitted by their intense passion for my same passion – social media.

I’m very interested in how you feel about this.

Are artists (and social media mavens) more creative when flying in flocks?

    There certainly is a point to be made for groups. Each individual feeds of the others. If one has an idea, another might be able to use it creatively. All the great artistic movements had at their core a group, from the medieval artists’ guilds to the Factory. Literary currents developed in much the same way. Scholars are grouped in universities, marketers and advertisers form ad agencies; all are incubators. Surely the blogosphere has a similar function.

      I agree that a certain mass of creativity can generate a lot of artistic output. I wonder though, how important it is to go out of the “reactor” for fuel. Does remaining in the confines of of the group eventually lead to the the disintegration of the energy that originally inspired the artists?
