What are the new Ready Pasta products that are being introduced?
Barilla® is introducing Ready Pasta to provide an ultra-convenient pasta option to anyone who seeks a quick meal solution or snack. Barilla Ready Pasta is crafted with high quality semolina (wheat), durum wheat flour, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt for a perfect "al dente" texture and delicious flavor. Varieties include Penne, Elbows, Rotini and Gemelli. Ready Pasta will offer pasta consumers all the delicious taste and texture they have come to trust from Barilla in just 60 seconds.
How do you prepare Ready Pasta?
Each variety of Ready Pasta will have specific heating instructions on the back of the package. It is prepared differently than traditional pasta as it can either be microwaved for 60 seconds or warmed in a skillet with two teaspoons of olive oil for 2 to 4 minutes. Simply knead the pouch prior to opening, then follow the directions on the back of the package for the best results.
What can I use Ready Pasta for?
Ready Pasta is perfect for a quick lunch, dinner or snack! Ready in just 60 seconds, it’s great for a meal on the go, whether it be lunch at work, an after-school snack or an easy, delicious dinner at home.
Does Barilla’s Ready Pasta taste like other Barilla pasta?
The new Barilla Ready Pasta lives up to the quality standards that pasta lovers have come to expect from Barilla. Due to the difference in ingredients and heating process, Barilla Ready Pasta’s taste and texture may vary slightly from other Barilla pastas. For the best taste and texture, follow the heating instructions on the back of the package.
What is the preparation difference between Ready Pasta and Blue Box Barilla Pasta?
Ready Pasta is fully cooked pasta that can either be heated in the microwave for 60 seconds or in a skillet with two teaspoons of olive oil for 2 to 4 minutes. Both preparation processes achieve “al dente” perfection. For best results, follow the heating instructions on the back of the package.
What is the preparation difference between Ready Pasta and Barilla Pronto?
Ready Pasta is fully cooked pasta that can either be heated in the microwave for 60 seconds or in a skillet with two teaspoons of olive oil for 2 to 4 minutes. Barilla® Pronto® is placed in one pan, covered with cold water, then simply cooked over high heat until the water is absorbed, eliminating the need to pre-boil or drain. Both preparation processes achieve “al dente” perfection. For best results, follow the heating instructions on the back of the package.
Can I eat Ready Pasta without heating?
Yes, because Ready Pasta is already fully cooked but we don’t recommend it. Heating for 60 seconds in the microwave or in a skillet is recommended to bring the product to the optimal texture for eating.
What if I forget to tear the pouch before microwaving?
There is no problem if you forget to tear before microwaving, although the steam in the pouch will cause it to swell and possibly pop. If you forget to tear, it is recommended that you wait 2 minutes after heating to open to avoid the built-up steam in the pouch.
Can I use Ready Pasta in a cold pasta salad?
Absolutely, Ready Pasta is a convenient substitute to traditional Barilla dry pasta for any recipe. Although, we still do recommend you reheat the product according to the package direction even when adding to a recipe that calls for cold pasta. The reheating brings the pasta to optimal texture. Just allow a few minutes after heating for the pasta to cool down.
Can I save some of the pasta for later?
Yes, just make sure to refrigerate and use within 2 days. Do not use the pouch to reheat. Instead place the remaining pasta in a microwave safe bowl and reheat for 30-60 seconds.
Can you freeze Ready Pasta?
We recommend never to freeze the product while it’s still sealed in the original container as it does create more complexity to thaw it and eat it at your convenience. The product tastes best when it is stored in a dry place.
Can I eat right out of the pouch?
Yes, you can. Gently knead the pouch to separate pasta. However, we recommend heating it to enjoy the product. To make an authentic Italian meal, we recommend adding two teaspoons of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, finished with a sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Is Barilla Ready Pasta nutritious? Is it better for you than other Barilla products?
Barilla Ready Pasta is considered a natural part of the internationally acclaimed Mediterranean diet, an eating pattern that is considered by nutritionists to be one of the world’s healthiest ways to eat. The diet was recommended by the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as a pattern that can help promote health and prevent disease. Pasta tossed with other healthy ingredients, such as vegetables, beans, lean proteins, olive oil and herbs, is an easy way to follow a balanced Mediterranean-style Diet.
Barilla Ready Pasta is just as nutritious as Barilla’s other traditional semolina pastas. It can be the perfect foundation of a nutritious meal and a regular part of a well-balanced diet. Incorporating a variety of quality food groups into the diet in reasonable quantities is a great way to get all nutrients the body needs.
Is Barilla Ready Pasta gluten free?
Barilla’s Ready Pasta is made up of high-quality, non-GMO ingredients and contains no preservatives; however, it is not gluten free. Barilla’s Gluten Free pastas provide an enjoyable way to enjoy pasta for those seeking a gluten free diet or who have gluten sensitivities.
Does Barilla Ready Pasta contain preservatives?
No. Barilla Ready Pasta does not contain preservatives.
Is the Ready Pasta packaging made without BPA?
The Barilla Ready Pasta is made without BPA. Our package is produced without the intentional addition of BPA.

Penance is now up for preorder with a release date of March 23rd.
Uriel has awoken into a nightmare, unable to remember who or what she is. She and eight other women are captives of human traffickers, to be prettied-up and sold to the highest bidder. Besides the guards, there’s a woman, a demon, who is supposed to make each of them gorgeous, and provide a sexually charged atmosphere at the auction.
They’ve got five days to escape. Five days for Uriel to save these women—and five days for her to save the demon she’s beginning to think is just as much of a captive as they are.
Because saving them all is the only way she can atone for…something‑ atone, and win forgiveness for a past she can’t remember.

Memorial for Heather Heyer, H. Jay Cullen, and Berke M.M. Bates in Charlottesville, VA. Photo by Evan Nesterak.
In Barcelona, several years ago, I attended my first bull fight. Contrary to expectation, I was bored. I got no thrill from seeing a tired bull teased by a red flag and pricked, over and over on its back, by a dancing, prancing toreador proud of his tight thighs and figure-revealing black pants. No real contest in that arena, just a playing out of chest-beating bravado and foregone conclusions, similar to the recent demonstration in Charlottesville, except that the latter produced not a scripted death in the afternoon, but an unscripted one. Hemingway, the flamboyant writer famous for a toned-down, laconic style, was, ultimately, a seeker of battlegrounds and enamored of winning. His masculine, dispense-with-all-extra-verbiage style is famous for several masterpieces, including one about besting bulls back in 1932, when America, a perennial winner of external wars, was stuck in a Depression that took a victory to end.
James Alex Fields, Jr., who, like Hemingway, comes off as a man given more to action than words, was born in Kentucky at the end of the 20th century. Even as a boy, he idolized the Nazis. They were winners, heroes, no matter what history said. Perhaps feeling unappreciated, maybe even like a cornered bull with no way but forward, Fields plunged his car into a crowd of Charlottesville protesters. In exhibiting his rage for all to see, Fields is said to have given a young woman a public death in the middle of an afternoon thronging with crowds, rooting for one side versus another in a pitched contest.
Fields had cronies who were not behind the wheel but out on the street proclaiming their right to do and say whatever they wanted. Emboldened by recent election-era rhetoric, they were convinced that the country was theirs to dominate as they chose in the public square. They were the strong ones, they believed, the ones who could command the space they occupied and mark it with blood. That was their calling card: Blood and Soil. They had power and might on their side and they could take the blood of anyone who did not look like they did. They could push them underfoot and bury them deep in the soil on which they, the emboldened ranks of the supposedly mistreated, stood tall. They were asserting and establishing a claim to what they considered their right and entitlement: fists and power. And yet, on the face of it, Heather Heyer, who lost her life to collective rage, was one of theirs, albeit a woman, standing up for her right to believe as she chose.
The rally was a coming-out party in support of the symbols and images of manly Confederate heroes filled with bravado and desire. The southern park statues mounted high symbolize a victory that was not actually won, but symbolically achieved in the media, first in print and novels and then as film. Two major blockbusters, The Birth of a Nation from 1915 and Gone with the Wind from 1939, debuted less than a decade after Hemingway published Death in the Afternoon. And now cable is getting in the act, packaging a show backing the untruth of a Confederate win and an undying slavery, fictions that a contemporary public is awaiting, perhaps as avidly as the Spaniards in the bullfight arena, where winning is a staged performance, particularly thrilling and emboldening to the young and credulous.

When I called Mehta in California to ask him to explain this to me, he started, quite patiently, from the very beginning.
But movement through space costs energy. And evolutionarily speaking, we’d all be in terrible shape if we never knew where we were, or if we spent days wasting energy and wandering back to the nest every time we left it. As a result, animals (including human beings) have evolved to move through space as efficiently and effortlessly as possible. Finding our way is, in short, one of the most fundamental things we do.
Until now, scientists believed our cognitive maps were primarily built using two kinds of cues: external visual landmarks (the 7-Eleven across the street, the mountains on the horizon), and our internal sense of motion (how fast we move, generating an awareness of distance). But of course other kinds of sensory stimuli can also connect us to place (or confuse us about where we are). If you smell something burning in your kitchen, for example, that’s probably not too alarming. “But if you smell a burning smell in the bedroom,” Mehta says, “that’s a disaster.” Running water in the bathroom? No problem. Running water in the living room? Big problem. In the same way, we don’t expect to feel gravel underfoot inside a sandwich shop, or to smell Kung Pao Chicken coming from a storefront that’s long been a pizzeria.
Mehta and his colleagues have proven this researching – of course – rats. Even for rats, it’s impossible to truly eliminate all sensory cues in the real world (crumbs of food, scent marks, spilled droplets of liquid). And so they created a virtual reality environment. The rats were placed atop a tracking ball, affixed to the apparatus in a little vest (a scientific aside: “Within a day or two,” Mehta says, “they like the idea of having a vest around them. They literally walk around with the vest, which is pretty funny.”). The rats were then immersed within a virtual-reality screen picturing a room with walls decorated in different blue and green shapes. They then ran around said virtual room atop the treadmill ball.
A) The virtual reality system on a spherical treadmill. B) A top-down view of the environment. C) A rat in the actual apparatus. From “Multisensory Control of Hippocampal Spatiotemporal Selectivity” supplemental materials in Science.
Later, the researchers repeated the same experiment within a visually identical actual room, 10 feet by 10 feet in size. The results? About 60 percent of the place cells that fired in the rats’ brains inside the actual room, with all its sensory stimuli, were inactive in the virtual space. Which means all of that other stuff – the equivalent, for humans, of a subway grate underfoot, or the smell of Lake Michigan to your East – seems to matter a great deal.
What if you’re walking through a neighborhood where all the visual cues – the houses – look the same?
Your brain actually goes from living in the present to anticipating the future (try that, Google Maps!). “We believe this amazingly complex set of things – environmental landmarks, our self-motion, brain rhythms, smells and textures – all of that is coming together to tell us what we should do next in space,” Mehta says.
All of this raises a fascinating question for the professions more involved in creating places and neighborhoods than studying how people move through them. If all the stimuli from our environment is directly connected to how our brains navigate through space, does that mean that some types of environments enable our brains to build better maps? What if you’re walking through a neighborhood where all the visual cues – the houses – look the same, or where there’s not much to smell at all? The right answer, Mehta says, is not so simple.
Of course, scientists will have to learn a lot more about how humans process actual environments – and not just how rats scurry over a virtual treadmill – to be able to answer this question. But imagine urban planners one day drafting plans for a street or a neighborhood using insights from the maps that we make in our minds.

Just the other day I happened to wake up early. That is unusual for an engineering student. After a long time I could witness the sunrise. I could feel the sun rays falling on my body. Usual morning is followed by hustle to make it to college on time. This morning was just another morning yet seemed different.Witnessing calm and quiet atmosphere, clear and fresh air seemed like a miracle to me. I wanted this time to last longer since I was not sure if I would be able to witness it again, knowing my habit of succumbing to schedule. There was this unusual serenity that comforted my mind. It dawned on me, how distant I had been from nature. Standing near the compound’s gate, feeling the moistness that the air carried, I thought about my life so far.
‘Being in the top will only grant you a good life’ has been the mantra of my life. But at times, I wish I was an average student. I wish decisions would have not been so straightforward. Maybe I would have played cricket- the only thing I feel passionate about. Or maybe I would have studied literature (literature drives me crazy). Isn’t that disappointing- me wishing to be bad at academics. It’s like at times I hate myself for the stuff I am good at.I feel like these concrete buildings have sucked our desires and our dreams. We are so used to comfort that compromise seems like a taboo. We have lost faith in ourselves. If we can make through it right now, we can do the same in the days to come. You only need a desire to survive and nothing more- not money or cars or designer clothes.Staying locked up in four walls have restricted our thinking. I feel like our limited thinking echoes through this wall. We are so used to schedules and predictable life that we have successfully suppressed our creative side.When you step out of these four walls on a peaceful morning, you realize how much nature has to offer to you. Its boundless. Your thoughts, worries, deadlines won’t resonate here. Everything will flow away along with the wind. And you will realize every answer you had been looking for, was always known to you.It would mean a lot to me if you recommend this article and help me improve. I would love to know your thoughts!

We offer professional, confidential, and evidence based psychotherapy services for adults, children, adolescents, families, and couples including strengths-based psychotherapy, marriage and family therapy, play therapy for children 3-11, cognitive behavioral (CBT) therapy, and Substance Abuse Counseling. Our therapists use their expertise to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral difficulties, parenting, relationship problems, grief and loss, divorce, family discord, life cycle changes, interpersonal conflict, personality disorders, and behavioral and social issues associated with spectrum disorders (ADD, Aspergers, Autism).
Something to keep in mind about diagnosis is that a psychological condition can exist within the context of your life and therefore may not always stand alone. We take great care in performing a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s life circumstances to minimize the impact of diagnosis. We do not believe that a person seeking help should be defined solely by a diagnosis. Therapy alone or therapy in combination with brief interventions of medication will reduce the impact of most presenting issues thus reducing symptoms of psychological conditions.

This morning we left Katha Thani and organised our ride to the Ratchada pier. We called our driver from day 1 who agreed to collect us from the resort and take us to the ferry via Rimtang restaurant for 400 Baht. At reception I was approached by a driver with a black car who asked if we were going to Phi Phi to which I replied no, which I have found is the easiest way to refuse an offer of a ride. After waiting for our driver for about 10 minutes I called him and was told he had arranged fit a friend with a black car to collect us... Fortunately the man with the black car had not gone far and we were able to call him back. Our first stop was the local supermarket for supplies, the usual nappies, wipes etc and some bread to make sandwiches for Charlie. Then we returned to Rimtang restaurant for lunch to avoid having to buy dodgy food at the pier or on the boat. As I sit here at the pier writing this it was definitely a good decision. I should also say that we had earlier booked a ferry ticket and transfer with the resort but decided to cancel it as the transfer was a minibus with no option for stopping to get anything on the way. Thankfully we did as the krusty kebab and burger stands at the pier are certainly not appetizing.
As usual I went a bit crazy at lunch and ordered way too many dishes. For Charlie we got Hokkien noodles with chicken and a common green vegetable that was delicious and crunchy but I don't know what it is but I'm definitely going to find out. Next was pork rib soup with vermicelli rice noodles. Although I am quickly developing a liking for the wide flat rice noodles and Hokkien noodles the rice vermicelli are still my favorite. Tina ordered a traditional Thai noodles with shrimp which was actually Pad Thai. The local Pad Thai is much richer and more sour than we are used to. While very nice I will season it up with some of the sugar provided on all tables next time. Dried chillies, chillies in vinegar, white sugar and fish sauce are provided in a cool variety of holders in every restaurant. You are supposed to season each dish to your personal tastes however we have not felt the need to use them so far. Finally I couldn't resist ordering the shrimp Pad Krapow with runny fried egg and was happy that I did. Obviously I was pretty stuffed by this time but still managed to consume most of it. The shrimp version was delicious and also came with snake beans and sliced long chillies, nice and spicy just as I like it. We enjoyed the mango smoothies so much last time it was the same again all round. They come with large chunks of mango that Charlie loves reaching into your glass with her grotty hands to fish out. Feeling once again totally stuffed we piled back into the car for the trip to the pier which took about 30 minutes in driving rain which started just as we finished lunch. We possibly jinxed ourselves last night by commenting how good the weather had been so far.

How Do I Appeal the Ruling in My Criminal Defense Case?
When you are facing criminal charges, the outcome of your trial will have a major impact on your life. Unfortunately, errors sometimes occur during criminal trials, resulting in unjust convictions or incorrect sentences. If you are unhappy with the results of your criminal trial, you have the option to appeal.
After the circuit court has issued its final judgment in your trial, you must file a Notice of Intent to Pursue Postconviction Relief within 20 days. This Notice informs the court that you plan to appeal the case. Within 30 days after filing the Notice of Intent, you must request a copy of the court transcript(s). The court clerk will serve you with a copy of the transcript(s) within 60 days.
Within 60 days after receiving the transcript(s), you must file a Motion for Postconviction Relief. This motion may argue that the conviction or sentence violated the U.S. or Wisconsin Constitutions, that the court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case, or that the sentence exceeded the maximum penalty allowed by law. The circuit court will rule on this motion. If it is denied, you can file a Notice of Appeal within 20 days.
A Notice of Appeal can be filed without a Motion for Postconviction Relief if you are seeking relief because your conviction was based on insufficient evidence, the improper admission of evidence at trial, or other issues which were raised during your trial.
Within 40 days of filing the Notice of Appeal, the court clerk will file the Record on Appeal, which is a compilation of documents from the original court case. After the Record on Appeal has been filed, you must file a brief within 40 days. The brief sets forth your written argument as to why your conviction should be reversed. The brief must provide citations to the court record and must specifically address the errors that occurred during the trial. Review in the Court of Appeals is limited to the Record of what happened in the circuit court. You cannot present new evidence in your brief.
After you file your brief, the state has 30 days to file a response. You will have 15 days to file a reply after the state files its brief, giving you the last opportunity to communicate with the Court. Note that the Court of Appeals hears oral arguments very rarely, so in most cases, the only information before the Court of Appeals will be your written brief.
When a ruling is issued, the Court of Appeals may affirm the original decision, modify certain parts of the decision, reverse the decision, or remand the case for a new trial.
If you are unhappy with the decision made by the Court of Appeals, you can file a Motion for Reconsideration explaining why you believe the decision was incorrect, based on Wisconsin statutes or previous cases. Frankly, those motions are rarely granted. Alternatively, you can file a Petition for Review to have the case heard by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. That petition must be filed (i.e. in the hands of the Supreme Court Clerk) within 30 days after the decision by the Court of Appeals. If your petition arrives one day late, it is untimely and will not be considered.
If the Wisconsin Supreme Court decides not to hear your case, or if that Court hears your case and rules against you, you may be able to challenge this decision in federal courts.

Elfenworks Productions, LLC proudly managed all aspects of virtuoso violinist Aaron Rosand’s web presence for about a decade, until the launch of his new retrospective autobiography, at the end of 2013, when it made sense to bring the web presence closer to home.
Concurrent to our work supporting Maestro Rosand, we were also supporting VOX Music Group as their webmaster. It was during this time that we provided additional assistance to VOX in managing the successful releases of the two-CD set Aaron Rosand in Norway, as well as Rosand’s first downloadable CD for sale, an MP3 version of his Brahms Hungarian Dances CD.
Lauren Speeth, Director of Elfenworks was greatly responsible for promoting my career over a ten year period. Her extraordinary computer skills and creative ability made my first website a model for many artists who followed. It won several awards and was instrumental for increased CD and DVD sales resulting from this website. The films produced by Elfenworks will remain as a lasting testimony of a period in my artistic life.
If one is judged by one’s friends and clients, we will surely continue to bask in the glow of having worked with the legendary maestro for years to follow.

When testing with Selenium WebDriver, it usually becomes necessary to need access to multiple drivers simultaneously. This may be for running tests in parallel or performing cross-browser testing. One possible solution to this is the use of a Selenium grid. The following video from my course on Udemy explain what a grid is and how to configure one for use with your tests.
I was contacted recently by someone looking for assistance in automating a page that uses ReCaptcha. Since there are only two reasons for doing such a thing, application testing and SPAM, I offered the following information.
First off, the purpose of a captcha is to prevent bots/automation from being used to access an application. This means that if you can successfully automate the captcha then that would be a failed test and the captcha application should be replaced with one that hasn’t been beaten.
With that said, the question of how sites that implement captcha can be tested with automation remains. This cynical answer is simply, “you can’t”, but this is neither true nor acceptable. The correct answer is to plan ahead and work with developers to implement a test mode that can be toggled securely. This will allow the automation test environment to bypass the captcha and test the meat of the application, while providing confidence in the security of the production site after manually confirming the integrity of the captcha.
After some thought, the manual testing could be skipped (not recommended) if the test mode was built into the captcha module such that when implemented, it would always provide the same challenge. This would allow for verifying the captcha functionality is working and be able to successfully test the remainder of the application as well. The issue with this would be making sure it was not possible to put the captcha into test mode through injections or other trickery in production.
I would be remiss if I didn’t warn my fellow testers that there are methods available for beating captchas such as OCR implementations and some specialized API services. These should be considered when performing your tests and assessing the security of an application. I am not going to promote any of the sites here since I don’t want to make it easier for script kiddies to get their hands on them. They were easy enough to find without my posting links last time I checked.

Shopstyle: how to never leave your house again!
ShopStyle has access to a great range of different clothing (and shoes! and accessories!) brands from economical basics to designer extravaganza. Starting from A some of the brands available are: Alexander McQueen, Alexander Wang, Agent Provocateur, All Saints, American Apparel – hopefully you get the picture.
The products, diverse in the extreme in terms of price and quality, appear side by side in the app by default, which is slightly surreal. To tailor the view to suit your personality (and budget) you can filter by Brand, Store, Size, Colour, Price, Sale and custom Keywords.
The app is in the classic iPad design and features a short description, price and lovely pictures for each item. The layout, speed of search and quantity of items make this a much nicer experience than using the shops’ own websites.
To purchase an item you are taken to the shops’ own site, meaning you have to set up several accounts and can’t make cross-shop purchases in one go. However, although this is irritating, as an IT professional I understand why they have structured the site this way – they’re reusing the existing stock systems that the shops have already invested in. If ShopStyle had decided to track each store’s inventory directly, this would have taken so much effort for each shop that the app would never have got off the ground.
There is also a small bonus for iPad users, as the current system means that ShopStyle must therefore have checked that the websites work with Safari on iPad (unlike some other big brand sites!).
ShopStyle is an absolute life saver for me and means that I actually have some clothes, when I wouldn’t have time to go shopping otherwise!
If you haven’t tried it, please do give it a go. Even if you don’t buy anything, you can now window shop from the luxury of your own home/iPad/iPhone whatever your gadget of choice is!
Combine notes and todos in one handy app. Simply jot down your ideas, thoughts and memos and create daily diary, to do lists, travel diary, shopping list, it just goes on and on. You can even customize its look with themes, different folder icons, colours and fonts – after all a girls gotta have lists!
Business Card Reader takes a business card picture with your iphone camera and ‘reads’ it using text recognition technology. It then enters the contact information into appropriate fields on your iPhone address book. It saves time and the hassle of entering the details manually which can be SO dull! Perfect for networking events.
Manage your hotel reservations, car hire, flights, meetings and more with easy to read Trip Decks for each itinerary. You can also view your entire itinerary on a gorgeous map as well as editing and sharing on the go.
If you have a baba and an iPhone then this fab ‘app’ is definitely worth a try.
No need to buy separate equipment to monitor your baby whilst they’re sleeping as this application turns your IPhone into a baby monitor, sending both video and audio direct to your phone wherever you may be.
There are no worries about range, like with a regular baby monitor, as it is all digital, so if you’ve managed to get a babysitter and you’re out and about you can still see and hear everything your little darling is doing or you could maybe have a glass of wine and try and relax?!
The only extra equipment you need is a camera so you could use your own or if not the Apple store has one to offer which is small, mobile and wireless.
The Baby Safe Monitor app is comparable to premium baby monitors on the market but is a third of the price. It is available from the Apple ITunes Store for £22.99.

The Bulls surged ahead in league rankings with a big win against Vikings by 33 runs in the last match and have accumulated 6 points to occupy second position; they will now take on Dynamites, who are on a winning streak with 6 points already and are at the fourth spot, on 1st December at Chittagong. The Dynamites had defeated Super Stars in their last match to climb up the table but will need to win this if they want to improve their ranking; the Bulls, on the other hand will be eager to continue with their winning momentum. It needs to be seen which team can use the resources they have cleverly to outwit the opponent on Tuesday.
Batting first against Vikings, they got off to a shaky start losing 3 wickets by the 3rd over but Mahmudullah stuck his feet firmly to get the scoreboard ticking; he posted a well-made 51 off 45 deliveries while the tail-enders contributed with a good 46 runs in the end to take the total to 170. Mehedi Maruf, Prasanna and Cooper played useful knocks and the others must pull up their socks in the upcoming game in order to set up a solid foundation. The bowlers led by Kevon Cooper defended the total well and helped them win the match by a massive 33 runs; Copper took 3 wickets while Al-Amin Hossain continued on his good form by claiming 2 wickets. Mohammad Sami, Taijul Islam and Mahmudullah contributed with a wicket each and they certainly bring variety to the attack. They had won their opening two games but suffered defeat against the Victorians; the recent victory definitely has boosted their morale and they look well placed to take on the hard-hitting Dynamites on Tuesday.
They had defeated Super Stars in the previous game by 34 runs after posting a competitive 166 runs batting first; Sangakkara is in very good form and it was quite apparent in his 75-runs off 56 balls that surged them forward towards a comfortable target. There was support from Nasir Hossain who scored 33 off 29 while others tried to keep the scoreboard ticking. The bowling unit defended the total helping them win the match; Mosharraf Hossain was the pick of the bowlers as he claimed 3-15 while Mustafizur Rahman, Abul Hasan and Yasir Shah showed brilliance as they took 2 wickets each. Overall, the players looks super charged to yet again come out with all their firepower to outwit the opposition. If the batsmen can build strong partnerships and keep a cool head above their shoulders, they can definitely prove to be a stiff challenge, especially with experienced batsmen like Sangakkara in their team.

I was all excited that I had an S storytime in my files, but as I looked it over, I found that it was very specific to February, with snowflakes and groundhogs’ shadows. Well, shucks. I’ll give you some favorites, and as always, I welcome your storytime suggestions.
You forgot my favorite part of the "Shake Your Sillies" song: "jump my jiggles out," especially when used in a baby and toddler storytime group, most of whom have not yet mastered the gross motor skills required to jump. HI-larious.
I have one for S. Do you know Skinnamarink? My Kinders loved it, and it was a great hit when performed for parents.

Team Building. Adventures. Leadership Development.
Before moving to New Hampshire and beginning Footpaths, Karen and I worked with a very similar leadership training program (called ‘Exus’) in Northern Mexico. In many ways our work in Mexico inspired us to begin our own program in the United States. It is amazing in life how things sometimes return full circle… the current directors of Exus are moving on after this year and asked us to consider the possibility of directing the program in the future. So at this point it seems like we will be in New Hampshire January to July, directing Footpaths, and in Mexico August to December, directing Exus.
Our campus here is absolutely amazing… very remote. We are about 20 miles down a dirt road from the nearest town. We have our own water system and all the buildings are solar powered. The program is a bit different than Footpaths in that we invite a group of students to move out here for an entire college semester. We have a heavy course load of leadership classes, bring our students off campus for a variety of service trips, and go on a number of different adventures for the purpose of personal and group development.
Check back in October for a post from our trip to Basaseachi National Park (one of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited) in November for a post from our big service trip, and again in early December for a post from our 8 day trek.
The Happy-Merry-Hallo-Giving race is still on. Our dear friends, Frank and Amy Garland will be handling things in New Hampshire, while we organize the logistics from here.
Enjoy the remainder of the summer and especially the fall weather, and we’ll see you when the snow flies!
Many thanks to the amazing TC Webb for this amazing Video! Check it out on our home page!
As an end of the summer party, Jed the intern and I took a lap up the Whitney Gilman ridge on Cannon. We had absolutely perfect weather, the rock felt great and he crushed it! Here are a few pics from our day. And yes, the rock is a little crumbly, not too bad, and the exposure is wonderful... The pipe pitch...amazing - it is always cool to look between your heels and have about 400' of air between you and the ground! Thank you Jed for all your work this summer! It's been great!
What do you get when you combine someone in a turkey costume, over 65 runners chasing after him, 350 pounds of non perishables, and $400 for the Derry Sonshine soup kitchen? Happy Merry Hallo Giving!!!!
Our first annual Happy Merry Hallo Giving was a blast. The day dawned perfect, crisp temps, clear sky’s, and volunteers showing up early to help.
One question I still have is how, when the kids were supposed to tackle the turkey (Jeff Hensley in a turkey costume) did I end up at the bottom of a pre-race pig pile!?!
But kids and turkey did race, with the honors going to Dylan Below for taking an early lead, leaping over the fallen turkey in the finish chute and winning the race.
Congratulations to young Sarah Muller who at age 14 led the woman’s 5k, and to Javone Mullens and Nicole MacKinney for the best costume. I’ve never seen running Christmas trees before, but hope to see them again!
Mostly however thank you to everyone for coming out and showing your support for the community. The directors at the soup kitchen were especially grateful for your generosity. The food you donated and the proceeds from the race have been a huge blessing to them during this time.
God’s best to you all, looking forward to seeing you next year!
Mike Kelly for the team.
Well, there is just no way around it. One Hundred Miles is a long way to ride!!! All in all it was a great day, with beautiful weather, tail winds, rural roads, and over $500.00 raised for Mission Haiti’s sustainable foods program. I don’t think there is any better biking than along the NH seacoast, with the sun on your face, a cooling salty sea breeze at your back, and the smell of thousands of wild roses to spur you on.
Sam and Kristen Tadzia of Mission Haiti are traveling to Haiti this week to continue their work there and plan with local leaders how to begin using the funds raised from this year’s ride. As soon as we have an update from them we will post it here.
Thanks to everyone involved and our sponsors for your donations and support. See you next year!
Footpaths first big trip of the summer went off in a big way: From 40mph winds, to chest high ice cold river crossings, to mountain views looking out on panoramas of untouched wilderness, the 120 miles we covered in Northern Maine left us all deciding that yes we need more of this, and yes we do need Alaska! …maybe next summer!?!?!
Our ascent of Katahdin started things off with a 60 degree sunny day turning into a sleet storm with gusts of wind strong enough to knock us over. We spent only enough time on the summit to snap the required summit pictures and run, slip and stumble down the steep Hunt Trail to better conditions.
The AT out of the park continued the adventure as the west branch of the Penobscot had more than overflowed its banks flooding the trail, turning a mile and half of wetlands into a lake.
From Abol south, conditions improved a bit and the next 7 days passed in a blur of wilderness lakes, white blazes, stinky boots, backcountry camping, and steep mountains.
Our last night out, we experienced probably the biggest thunderstorm that I have ever been out in. (Yes, even louder than the storm on the first overnight of Exus 09’) Fortunately the tarps and tents were set up in time and we all stayed dry!
A special thanks to the AT SOBO’s who made our trip so much more fun and memorable. We wish you the best all the way to Springer… God Speed to: Nevada Bandana, True Grit / Howdy Hiker, Young and Old, Fern Toe, Jeremy, the Mohawks, Ed, and South Paul.
Congrats to Man Cub. Amazing job hiking the whole trail in under 90 days and being the first NOBO to summit!

VMware Workstation is a virtual machine software suite for x86 and x64 computers from VMware, a division of EMC Corporation, which allows users to set up multiple x86 and x64 virtual machines (VMs) and use one or more of these virtual machines simultaneously with the hosting operating system. Each virtual machine instance can execute its own guest operating system, including Windows, Linux, BSD variants, and others. In simple terms, VMware Workstation allows one physical machine to run multiple operating systems simultaneously, whereas other VMware products help manage or migrate VMware virtual machines across multiple physical host machines. Workstation is sold and developed by VMware; VMware Player is a similar program with fewer features supplied free of charge.
VMware Workstation supports bridging to existing host network adapters, CD-ROM devices, hard disk drives, and USB devices (including USB Isochronous devices such as webcams, microphones etc.), and provides the ability to simulate some hardware. For example, it can mount an ISO file as a CD-ROM, and .vmdk files as hard disks, and can configure its network adapter driver to use network address translation (NAT) through the host machine rather than bridging through it (which would require an IP address for each guest machine on the host network).
Multiple successive snapshots of an operating system running under VMware Workstation can be taken, and the virtual machine can be restarted in the state it was in when any snapshot was saved.
VMware Workstation includes the ability to designate multiple virtual machines as a team which administrators can then power on and off, suspend, and resume as a single object, making it particularly useful for testing client-server environments.
1) Install the program by running the exe file.
2) When you're asked to enter a serial.
3) Restart your PC when you're done installing.

THIS BOOK IS THE STORY THAT I WANTED TO READ.
Cover by Rachel Rosales, Orange Peal Design.
A book for victims, for survivors, and for those who want to understand. This is how it feels to recover.
The summer that I was 15, a speedboat landed on my head. I suffered from severe traumatic brain injury and experienced a miraculous survival. After ten days in a coma, I woke up to the realization that I had to relearn everything. I had the next three painful years to figure out how far I would recovery and how I could survive in a world of pain. That was high school.
During those three years, I would have given anything to talk to someone who undergone what I had been through and come out the other side.

Not too long ago, some academic published a study in which the conclusion said that people do not, in fact, hate spoilers. Actually, the study went as far to say that people preferred to have stories spoiled for them. Forget the fact that the study was woefully flawed because it focused on classic literature that most people had to read in school (like “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”) rather than a light and fun movie that takes only a couple hours – and at a price of $10 or more – to enjoy.
But what’s worse is when the studio itself spoils the movie with its trailers and advertising. We all know that some trailers give too much away, and some of them even show the final shot of the film (I’m looking at you, “Quarantine” and “Paranormal Activity”). Sure, there are times when you can get away with it (like the upcoming “The Ides of March,” which does include the last shot of the film, but it’s okay because you don’t know what it is). Other films give away too much of the first act (like “Anger Management”), causing the viewer to be bored while he or she sits through the set-up they already know is coming.
And honestly, we live in an age when spoilery trailers – and movie news itself – isn’t a big deal. Take the upcoming “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” double bill, which features not just the marriage of Edward and Bella, but their procreation as well. The fans don’t mind this because every single one of them have read the books cover-to-cover and back again already. So that movie will still play well because the fans just want to wet their pants in the theater while their beloved books play themselves out.
But “Dream House” crossed a new line. It literally lays out every plot twist in the first 80 minutes of the movie during the main theatrical trailer. What should be a surprise when you see the film is nothing more than a confirmation that the trailer wasn’t misleading. In fact, the only thing that isn’t given away in the “Dream House” trailer is the lackluster, predictable and ultimately lame ending.
Had I not known the full plot of “Dream House” going into the film, I might have really enjoyed it. After all, the elements are all there. It’s got a pretty solid cast, led by Daniel Craig and supported by Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. It’s also got some great atmosphere and a creepy feel to it. While it’s not a typical demon house we would see in “The Amityville Horror” or “Psycho,” the setting is just enough off-kilter from normal suburban living that it puts you at unease.
But the problem is that, as we learn from the trailer, Craig’s character is nuts from frame one. And it’s not like Stephen King’s criticism of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining,” that we know Jack Torrance was nuts from frame one because he’s played by notable crazy actor Jack Nicholson. We know Craig’s character is nuts because the trailer plays it all out for us.
Where this could have been a clever and eerie plot twist, it’s just another step along the path to get to minute 80 where the film offers a modicum of surprise. Remember the aforementioned “The Sixth Sense,” where it was such a surprise to find out Bruce Willis had been dead the whole time? Then when you watch that film a second or third time, you see all the clues that this is the case. But you skip that crucial middle step in “Dream House.” You see all the clues, and they play off as weak and predictable rather than dubious and clever.
It’s not that “Dream House” is a great film without its near-criminal trailer. There are some problems to it, including some shoddy plot moments, silly character interaction, giant logic flaws and one of the most ridiculous denouements I’ve ever seen on film. But had I seen it in a vacuum, I might have like it enough to consider it a recommendable film.
But as it is, you’d be better off watching the trailer and saving yourself 80 minutes and $10.

Our pledge to you as a first-time buyer is to be with you every single step of the way! If you are entering the housing market for the first time, allow us to help navigate you through the myriad paperwork that is required in today’s real estate transactions. The escrow process is typically a 30-45 day procedure from opening to closing, during which there are a lot of moving parts that can seem daunting, from the initial submission of a proper offer to ordering and supervising of various home inspections so that they are completed in a timely manner. My sales and marketing team at Terra Firma Global Partners and I have a proven method of providing effective tools to guide you step-by-step during the entire home buying process and beyond. One of my duties as your agent is to continually educate myself on the ever-changing rules and regulations that are mandated by federal, state and local laws, and to constantly share that knowledge with you. By staying current on the legal aspects of purchasing all types of residential property, you have the peace of mind knowing that my team and I work for you and your family’s best interest to first locate, then secure your first home, with your 100% satisfaction in mind.
THINKING OF BUYING A SECOND HOME OR AN INVESTMENT PROPERTY?
Our pledge to you as an experienced or investment buyer is the same as our pledge to first-time buyers, although chances are you are already familiar with industry terms and timelines, having purchased in the past. New listings are toured a minimum of two times per week, and oftentimes we are privy to properties that are available even BEFORE they go on the market. Many times, by the time a buyer sees a “For Sale” sign on a particular home, chances are it’s already in escrow and close to closing, so it significantly diminishes the possibility of you buying that particular home. It can be frustrating, which is why working with us allows you the benefit of being able to view a property even before it hits the market! We are excellent at listening to your requirements, and have a full understanding that you should not have to settle for something less than what you want or deserve. For most of us, buying and selling properties will be the most financially challenging, but ultimately most rewarding endeavors we will ever take on in our lives. In terms of investment properties, we stay current and up-to-date on local, state, and federal real estate laws and regulations, so you are always kept abreast, which is beneficial to you, especially if you are new to the area.
Our pledge to you as a seller, first and foremost regardless of experience is to sell your home! There is an art to selling a particular property, and that involves a thorough understanding of the local market and how it’s trending through past comparative sales as well as current listings. However, just possessing that understanding isn’t enough these days in this competitive market. Initially, our experience in the world of technology will expose your property to as many eyes as possible. When you hire me as your listing agent, you not only get local exposure through a sizable network of agents who will preview your property via the MLS, but your home will also receive maximum exposure through other online methods as well. Your property will be prominently advertised on my personal website at WWW.RICARDO-GUTIERREZ.COM, through social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, as well as the extensive network that Terra Firma Global Partners has to offer. Professionally taken photographs highlighting your home are used on all marketing materials, for both hard copy as well as online. Another vital step to selling your home is to conduct consistently successful open houses utilizing all the online social media and marketing tools at your disposal. Our expertise in the field of interior design will ensure that your entire property is staged and set up properly for the most effective and eye-popping interiors and exteriors utilized to sell your home. By providing potential buyers with a home that is showroom-ready, they will more effectively see themselves someday living there, creating memories of their very own!

NEW YORK (AP) _ The highbrow crowd over at The New Yorker isn’t going to like this, but the newest and richest prize in American literature is named for Don Imus.
Don Imus, the gleefully spiteful radio host. THAT Don Imus.
Imus will help choose the winners of the Imus American Book Awards. The Barnes & Noble bookstore chain is providing the financial backing.
There will be three awards of $50,000 each, and one for $100,000. By contrast, the National Book Awards’ top prize is $10,000.
Imus frequently features authors on his morning program, which boasts an estimated 10 million listeners nationwide on more than 90 stations.
The idea for the awards came about after Imus complained that a biography he liked didn’t win a National Book Award.
Barnes & Noble customers will vote to decide some of the winners.

The problem I am tackling is categorizing short texts into multiple classes. My current approach is to use tf-idf weighted term frequencies and learn a simple linear classifier (logistic regression). This works reasonably well (around 90% macro F-1 on test set, nearly 100% on training set). A big problem are unseen words/n-grams.
I am trying to improve the classifier by adding other features, e.g. a fixed sized vector computed using distributional similarities (as computed by word2vec) or other categorical features of the examples. My idea was to just add the features to the sparse input features from the bag of words. However, this results in worse performance on the test and training set. The additional features by themselves give about 80% F-1 on the test set, so they aren't garbage. Scaling the features didn't help as well. My current thinking is that these kind of features don't mix well with the (sparse) bag of words features.
So the question is: assuming the additional features provide additional information, what is the best way to incorporate them? Could training separate classifiers and combining them in some kind of ensemble work (this would probably have the drawback that no interaction between the features of the different classifiers could be captured)? Are there other more complex models I should consider?
Perform dimensionality reduction (such as LSA via TruncatedSVD) on your sparse data to make it dense and combine the features into a single dense matrix to train your model(s).
Add your few dense features to your sparse matrix using something like scipy's hstack into a single sparse matrix to train your model(s).
Create a model using only your sparse text data and then combine its predictions (probabilities if it's classification) as a dense feature with your other dense features to create a model (ie: ensembling via stacking). If you go this route remember to only use CV predictions as features to train your model otherwise you'll likely overfit quite badly (you can make a quite class to do this all within a single Pipeline if desired).
All three approaches are valid and have their own pros and cons. Personally, I find (1) to typically be the worst because it is, relatively speaking, extremely slow. I also find (3) to usually be the best, being both sufficiently fast and resulting in very good predictions. You can obviously do a combination of them as well if you're willing to do some more extensive ensembling.
As for the algorithms you use, they can essentially all fit within that framework. Logistic regression performs surprisingly well most of the time, but others may do better depending on the problem at hand and how well you tune them. I'm partial to GBMs myself, but the bottom line is that you can try as many algorithms as you would like and even doing simple weighted ensembles of their predictions will almost always lead to a better overall solution.
Linear models simply add their features multiplied by corresponding weights. If, for example, you have 1000 sparse features only 3 or 4 of which are active in each instance (and the others are zeros) and 20 dense features that are all non-zeros, then it's pretty likely that dense features will make most of the impact while sparse features will add only a little value. You can check this by looking at feature weights for a few instances and how they influence resulting sum.
One way to fix it is to go away from additive model. Here's a couple of candidate models.
SVM is based on separating hyperplanes. Though hyperplane is linear model itself, SVM doesn't sum up its parameters, but instead tries to split feature space in an optimal way. Given the number of features, I'd say that linear SVM should work fine while more complicated kernels may tend to overfit the data.
Despite its name, Naive Bayes is pretty powerful statistical model that showed good results for text classification. It's also flexible enough to capture imbalance in frequency of sparse and dense features, so you should definitely give it a try.
Finally, random forests may work as a good ensemble method in this case. Randomization will ensure that different kinds of features (sparse/dense) will be used as primary decision nodes in different trees. RF/decision trees are also good for inspecting features themselves, so it's worth to note their structure anyway.
Note that all of these methods have their drawbacks that may turn them into a garbage in your case. Combing sparse and dense features isn't really well-studied task, so let us know what of these approaches works best for your case.

Four new electric car charging points for shoppers’ vehicles have been installed in the centre’s latest environmentally friendly initiative.
One million honey bees housed on the centre’s roof help pollinate local crops within a three mile radius of the centre.
All grass cuttings and tree prunings are turned into mulch and reused and rainwater is harvested from the centre’s roof and feeds more than 40,000 ‘free’ toilet flushes per year.
Earlier this year, the biggest solar photovoltaic system at a retail site in the UK was unveiled on the White Rose roof.
It will generate 680,000 kWh of power a year and supplies 39 per cent of daytime electricity used in White Rose malls.
Over the past 12 months the White Rose has used a food digester to turn 90 tonnes of food waste from the centre’s food and drink outlets into water via natural processes.
White Rose general manager Steven Foster, said: “We’ve put a great deal of consideration into our sustainability plan over the past few years, and there’s no sign of stopping now – our recent installation of the largest shopping centre solar PV system in the UK speaks volumes. We aspire to become the most eco-friendly shopping centre in the north.
“We’re firmly embedded in our local community and helping to support the environment of South Leeds and beyond is a cause close to our hearts.

Hay fever or allergic rhinitis is a very common medical problem affecting more than 15 percent of adults and children - an estimated 40 million to 50 million people. Symptoms include sneezing, runny and itchy nose, nasal congestion, post nasal drip and nasal blockage. It is also often associated with itching of the eyes.
Seasonal Rhinitis is usually caused by allergic sensitivity to pollens from trees, grasses or weeds, or to airborne mold spores. The symptoms occur mainly in spring, summer and/or early fall. Perennial Rhinitis is caused by sensitivity to house dust mites, animal dander, cockroaches and/or mold spores. The symptoms are year-round. Generally food allergies do not cause allergic rhinitis. Some people may experience both types of rhinitis, with perennial symptoms getting worse during specific pollen seasons. There are also non-allergic causes for rhinitis. Some known complications include ear infections, sinusitis, recurrent sore throats, cough, headache, altered sleep patterns, fatigue, irritability and poor school performance. Occasionally, children may develop orthodontic problems.
Allergists seldom recommend moving to another locale as a cure for allergies. A person may escape one allergy only to develop sensitivity to other allergens in the new location. Since moving can have a disrupting effect on a family financially and emotionally, relocation should be considered only in an extreme situation and only after consultation with an allergist.
The most common condition causing rhinitis is the common cold, an example of infectious rhinitis. Colds usually begin with a sensation of congestion, rapidly followed by a runny nose and sneezing. Over the next few days, the congestion becomes worse, the nasal mucus may become colored, and there may be a slight fever and cough. Cold symptoms go away within a couple of weeks although a cough may sometimes persist. Cold symptoms that last longer may be due to other causes, such as non-infectious rhinitis or sinusitis.
An allergy test, including skin testing, or a blood test is recommended for diagnosing and differentiating between allergic and non-allergic rhinitis. Skin testing is the easiest, most sensitive and generally least expensive way of making the diagnosis. Another advantage is that results are available immediately. Once allergic rhinitis is diagnosed, treatment options include avoidance, medication and immunotherapy (allergy shots).
Not all symptoms in the nasal passage are caused by allergy or infection. Similar symptoms can be caused by mechanical blockage, use of certain medications, irritants, temperature changes or other physical factors.
Drug induced nasal congestion can be caused by birth control pills and other female hormone preparations, certain blood pressure medications, and the prolonged use of decongestant nasal sprays. Non-allergic Rhinitis can also be a symptom of hypothyroidism, or can occur during pregnancy.

Im fairly new to mining and have 2 rigs currently running. And Im really curious to see if I did a good job or not. So I thought it would be interesting to share some numbers to see if we are under/above average.
How make you the custom parameters? With GpuTool or bios flash?
For the moment my bios are not optimized so I get not your performance.
In your configuration, the memory speed seems to have more influence on the hasrate than the cpu speed.
(around 2-3% if I remember correctly) but save me 20-30% on the power, if not more.
I haven't had time yet, but as you can see I do it individually on every card.
Did you flash the BIOS with a modded BIOS or just use the stock BOIS for each card and then play with the frequency limits within GPUTool? Your hash rates are great and the power used is average as if not modded. Can you give us a detailed explanation of exactly what you did to accomplish your numbers?
And provide a sample of your "gpu-config.json" file?

The issue here is NOT pre-fall death per se. Rather the point is that, while no Church President has told the Church there was death before the fall, at least two Church Presidents (whose NDBF teachings were approved by Gordon B. Hinckley) taught there was NO death before the fall.
Actually, it's okay for David H. Bailey to claim there was death before the fall. But it's NOT okay for him to claim the LDS Church supports that idea because the Church's Presidents have taught otherwise.
"Actually, it's okay for David H. Bailey to claim there was death before the fall. But it's NOT okay for him to claim the LDS Church supports that idea because the Church's Presidents have taught otherwise."
Well, at least the church supported the idea enough to let the Talmage quotation supporting death before the fall into the September 1987 Ensign.
James E. Talmage who gave the 1931 speech and Morris Petersen who wrote the Sept 1987 article both presented the geologist's point of view. As Petersen clearly states in his article, "the record of science is incomplete [and] what we imagine to be true now about the history of the earth may prove to be only partially true."
The Church need not "support" a particular point of view in order to "acknowledge" its existence.
On the other hand: NDBF is taught by the Church to investigators, the newly baptized, and those returning to activity. NDBF is taught by the Church in Primary and Sunday School. NDBF is taught in the First Presidency's doctrinal guidebook for youth, single adults, and new members. NDBF is bound with the standard works and carried to Church by millions of members every Sunday. And NDBF is taught by the Church in Priesthood and Relief Society classes. In all of these cases, NDBF is taught with the support of, and often taught by, the apostles and prophets who lead the Church today.
Since publication of the Ensign began, the Church has been led by seven Prophets and 33 apostles. With no dissenting voices, Church published statements of these 33 apostles and seven Prophets teach no death before the fall.
I don't think it can be claimed that the Church supports pre-fall death, even though that point of view was once acknowledged in the Ensign.
Clearly, NDBF is scripturally founded, or else we must remove 2 Nephi 2:22 from the Book of Mormon.
another” (“Christ and the Creation,” Ensign, June 1982, 12)."
This quote also refers to the quote by Elder McConkie from the Ensign magazine, an official publication of the church.
A quote from an apostle in an offical publication from the church referenced in another official publication of the church (an institute manual) seems to lend some credence to the argument that the church does have a position on NDBF and/or evolutionary theory as it relates to NDBF.
"NDBF is taught by the Church to investigators, the newly baptized, and those returning to activity. NDBF is taught by the Church in Primary and Sunday School."
I'm calling you out on this one.
Who exactly is teaching investigators, newly baptized, those returning to activity, and primary and sunday school participants that NDBF is Church doctrine? From what sources?
For example, from what source are missionaries explicitly to be teaching NDBF to investigators????? Page numbers would be great, especially if they're from Preach My Gospel.
The words "investigators, the newly baptized, [and] those returning to activity" are actually quoted from the Policies and Announcements section of the March 1993 Ensign (p.80) which reminds priesthood leaders to use the Gospel Principles manual. A discussion of NDBF teachings found in the Gospel Principles manual was posted on this blog May 7, 2005.
A discussion of NDBF being taught by the Church in Primary and Sunday School was posted on this blog Dec. 12, 2005.
And finally, a discussion of NDBF in Preach My Gospel (with lots of page numbers) was posted on this blog just today.
