IHOP Kansas head Bickle says that "the most famous [heaven-sent] hunter in recent history is a man named Adolf Hitler", and has claimed that Jews collectively are "under the discipline of God because of... perversion and sin."

In Mike Bickle's view, a lucky one third of the world's Jewish population to survive the apocalyptic persecution he predicts will "get radically saved and become lovesick worshipers of Jesus." Bickle has expounded these prophecies, which he claims are clearly described in Biblical scripture, in multiple sermons from 2004 through 2009.

As a newly released AP News story acknowledges, IHOP head Mike Bickle played a substantial role in Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry's August 6th, 2011 The Response Prayer event.

Bickle deployed several of his ministry pastors to help lead organization of the event and occupied the stage longer than any other speaker at The Response, while musicians from his Kansas City IHOP "worship team" provided a top-notch musical accompaniment to the event. Bickle has boasted that his Kansas City IHOP live-streams its events to partner-"Houses of Prayer" across the United States and around the world.

[video, below: Mike Bickle claims Bible predicts "work camps, prison camps, and death camps", and warns that Jews who refuse to move to Israel and convert to Christianity will be pursued by "hunters", of which Adolf Hitler was one. See here for longer version of video. Note: Bickle's "20 million" population figure is inflated; there are closer to 15 million Jews on Earth.]

Mike Bickle was not the only prominent evangelist to speak at The Response who promotes or has endorsed the idea that Hitler was a divinely-sent "hunter". Also speaking was Texas megachurch pastor and Christians United For Israel head John Hagee, whose political endorsement of presidential candidate John McCain was dropped by McCain in May 2008 after an audio recording surfaced, from a late 2005 sermon in which pastor Hagee explained the Jeremiah 16:16 theme of "fishers and hunters" and declared that Hitler and his Nazis were "hunters", sent by God to chase Europe's Jews toward Palestine.

Bickle has also expounded the "fishers and hunters" idea from Jeremiah 16:16 (see transcript, below) at his 2004 "Israel Mandate" conference, in a talk introducing Messianic ministry elder statesman Don Finto--who also spoke at length during Rick Perry's August 6th, 2011 The Response event. Finto is one of the current and former apostles, from C. Peter Wagner's International Coalition of Apostles (ICA), who dominated The Response.

As described in an August 3, 2011 story published in the Texas Observer, Wagner's apostles have prayed over and anointed Rick Perry who, extending the favor, chose Wagner's ICA apostle Alice Patterson to oversee organization of Perry's The Response event (as told by C. Peter Wagner to Terry Gross, for a Fresh Air/NPR interview aired October 3, 2011.)

Wagner's ICA is one of the biggest apostolic networks in the New Apostolic Reformation, in which Mike Bickle has served as a prophet (in Peter Wagner's Apostolic Roundtable and Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders - ACPE). Bickle has co-authored a book with Wagner on prophets, and partners with ICA apostles around the globe in his "Israel Mandate." One of Bickle's IHOP ministry co-directors is Lou Engle, and IHOP shares its Kansas City campus with The Call, founded by Engle--who, like Mike Bickle, has served as an ACPE prophet.

As described in a new story, by Rachel Tabachnick, in Michigan political magazine Dome, Engle is planning to hold one of his The Call stadium rallies, this November 11th, 2011, in Detroit, Michigan.

While Engle's The Call rallies have more typically featured strident rhetoric against homosexuality and gay marriage, as well as legal abortion, the events also promote other NAR concerns--such as the promotion of Messianic ministries, which target Jews for conversion, and the need to triumph over Islam.

The Call's website states that Detroit was chosen for the 11-11-2011 event because the city, "has become a microcosm of our national crisis -- economic collapse, racial tension, the rising tide of the Islamic movement, and the shedding of innocent blood of our children in the streets and of our unborn."

Characterisation of three novel cationic lipids as liposomal complexes with DNA.
Cationic lipids (CLs) are being increasingly exploited as transfection vectors for the delivery of DNA into eukaryotic cells. To obtain further insight to the complex formation and interactions between cationic liposomes and DNA, we characterised three novel cationic lipids, viz. bis[2-(11-phenoxyundecanoate)ethyl]-dimethylammonium bromide, N-hexadecyl-N-¿10-[O-(4-acetoxy)-phenylundecanoate]ethyl¿- dimethylammonium bromide, and bis[2-(11-butyloxyundecanoate)ethyl]dimethylammonium bromide. These lipids bear the same charged headgroup yet have different hydrophobic parts. Accordingly, we may anticipate their electrostatic interactions with DNA to be similar while differing in both thermal phase behaviour and physicochemical properties of their complexes with DNA. In keeping with the above all three lipids formed complexes with DNA as evidenced by light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy and Langmuir film balance. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed very different phase behaviours for the binary mixtures of the three CLs with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and also provided evidence for DNA-induced lipid phase separation. These data were confirmed by compression isotherms and fluorescence microscopy of monolayers residing on an aqueous buffer, recorded both in the presence and absence of DNA. Importantly, binding to cationic liposomes appears to prevent thermal denaturation of DNA upon heating of the complexes. Likewise, renaturation of heat-treated DNA complexed with the cationic liposomes appears to be abolished as well.

Lesson: Introduction to Programming

# Introduction to Programming

Programming is the process of designing and creating computer programs that can perform specific tasks. It involves problem-solving, logical thinking, and creativity. In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of programming, including variables, data types, and control structures.

## Section 1: What is Programming?

**Question:** What is programming?

**Answer:** Programming is the process of designing and creating computer programs that can perform specific tasks. It involves problem-solving, logical thinking, and creativity.

## Section 2: Variables and Data Types

**Question:** What are variables in programming?

**Answer:** Variables are named storage locations that hold values in a program. They can be used to store numbers, text, or other information.

**Question:** What are data types in programming?

**Answer:** Data types are used to classify different kinds of data in a program. Examples of data types include integers, floating-point numbers, strings, and booleans.

## Section 3: Control Structures

**Question:** What are control structures in programming?

**Answer:** Control structures are used to organize the flow of execution in a program. They allow programmers to specify certain conditions that must be met before certain parts of the code are executed.

**Question:** What are some common control structures in programming?

**Answer:** Some common control structures in programming include if-else statements, loops (while, for, and nested loops), and switch statements.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

**Question:** Can you give an example of a program that uses variables and data types?

**Answer:** Sure! Here's an example of a simple program in Python that calculates the area of a circle:
```
radius = 5
area = 3.14 * radius ** 2
print("The area of the circle is", area)
```
In this program, `radius` is a variable that holds the value `5`, and `area` is a variable that holds the calculated area of the circle.

**Question:** Can you give an example of a program that uses control structures?

**Answer:** Sure! Here's an example of a program in Python that prints out the numbers from 1 to 10:
```
for i in range(1, 11):
    print(i)
```
This program uses a `for` loop to iterate over the range of numbers from 1 to 10, and print each number as it goes along.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of programming, including variables, data types, and control structures. We also looked at some practical examples of how these concepts are used in real-world programs. By understanding these fundamentals, we can begin to create our own computer programs that solve complex problems.

Q:

How can I write a script to install BleachBit only if the version installed is not a certain version?

I want to write a bash script to download and install BleachBit from a .deb file only if the version already installed is not 1.0. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Bleachbit is only version 0.9 in the official repositories and I cannot find a PPA with version 1.0 for Ubuntu Precise. How can I do this?

A:

Here's a simpler version of your script, (keeping the humor intact :) ):
#!/bin/bash

## The && means that the script will run the next command only if this one
## succeeds, in other words, only if the string `version 1.0` is found.
bleachbit --version | grep -q 'version 1.0' &&
 echo "$(tput setaf 2)The elves have verified the BleachBit version.$(tput sgr0)" &&
   exit 0
## This block will only be executed if the grep above failed
wget -P ~/Downloads http://katana.oooninja.com/bleachbit/sf/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204.deb &&
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204.deb &&
 echo "$(tput setaf 2)The elves have installed BleachBit 1.0.$(tput sgr0)"

Note that I added && to the end of each command, that way, you will avoid errors if any of the commands fail since the script will exit on the first failed command.
A safer approach would be to change the first command to:
bleachbit --version | awk '/version/{if($NF>=1){exit 0}else{exit 1}}'

This has the advantage that it will work fine for future versions, when the version number will be greater than 1. The $NF in awk means the last field and /version/ means the script will run on lines matching version. So, since the first line is:
info: starting BleachBit version 1.0

awk will test whether the last field (1.0) here is greater than or equal to one and will exit with a 0 status (success), if it is which means that the next block (&&) will be executed, and your script will stop.
You could also condense the entire thing to:
bleachbit --version | head -n 1 | awk '{if($NF>=1){exit 1}else{exit 0}}' &&
wget -P ~/Downloads http://katana.oooninja.com/bleachbit/sf/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204.deb &&
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204

But that comes at the expense of the poor elves.

textbook:
#!/bin/bash

## The && means that the script will run the next command only if this one
## succeeds, in other words, only if the string `version 1.0` is found.
bleachbit --version | grep -q 'version 1.0' &&
 echo "$(tput setaf 2)The elves have verified the BleachBit version.$(tput sgr0)" &&
   exit 0
## This block will only be executed if the grep above failed
wget -P ~/Downloads http://katana.oooninja.com/bleachbit/sf/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204.deb &&
sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/bleachbit_1.0_all_ubuntu1204.deb &&
 echo "$(tput setaf 2)The elves have installed BleachBit 1.0.$(tput sgr0)"

Note that I added && to the end of each command, that way, you will avoid errors if any of the commands fail since the script will only execute the next command if the previous one succeeded. Also, I added a message to let the user know that the version of BleachBit has been verified or installed.


text: The only issue was down to my own lack of reading/understanding - I naively thought that next day delivery meant next day rather than next working day so don’t pay for next day delivery late Thursday or on Friday because you will not get the prints until Monday.. Notwithstanding the delivery issue the prints themselves were first rate. I would like to be able to order prints which are mounted on foamboard but with single or double aperture mounts on the front ready for framing but without the frame. Hopefully this will be offered sometime soon as this is one of my best sellers.. All things considered I’d recommend using The Print Space for your photographic print.

There are a variety of known portable containers used by individuals to carry and transport personal items. Some of these containers include book bags, purses, wallets, and other portable carrying containers. Those known containers fail to provide the user the ability to effectively and safely store the container while the user is engaged in a workout or other exercise routine within a gym or other facility. Said differently, many of those known containers do not provide users with a mechanism to effectively store the container on his or her person while engaged in the workout. As such, the container is typically required to be stored away, which has its own disadvantages such as security and costs. Moreover, in an effort to reduce the opportunities for potential theft, many gyms or exercise facilities have “no bag” policies, which restrict any unsecured bags or containers not capable of being carried by the user or not on the gym floor, from being brought into the gym workout area. Alternatively, the container may be carried by user, but the body of the container or straps/handles will inconvenience or inhibit the user in performing all or some of his or her workout.
Most, if not all, of these containers do not provide a user with the ability to effectively communicate sound waves, generated by a cellular phone or other audio device disposed therein, from the container and into the ambient environment. Those known containers designed for communicating sound waves from an internal cavity of the container to the ambient environment fail to provide for a user to also store other personal items of the user. Moreover, those known containers designed for communicating sound waves from an internal cavity of the container to the ambient environment also fail to provide the user easy and effective access, visibility, protection, and control to the audio device stored within the internal cavity.
Therefore, a need exists to overcome the problems with the prior art as discussed above.

text: This bearded dragon charm is based upon a bearded dragon which was once upon a time the favorite pet of my young niece. When adolescence struck, she recognized that her interest in him had waned and off he went to a new home. I thought that was rather adult of Becca, and I’m sure her beardie appreciated this honest concern for his welfare.. But he was a beautiful lizard, and inspired my silver bearded dragon jewelry. He was originally created as a little remembrance of those innocent years, and in the process I discovered that a lot of other people are fond of beardies as well.. It’s nice to know my silver bearded charm is off to new homes where bearded dragons reign!

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Earbuds

Introduction:
Earbuds are a popular choice for listening to music or watching videos on your phone or tablet. However, not all earbuds are created equal, and choosing the right pair can be challenging. In this lesson, we will explore the different factors you should consider when selecting earbuds, including sound quality, fit, battery life, and price. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to choose the perfect earbuds for your needs.

Section 1: Sound Quality

The first thing you should consider when choosing earbuds is sound quality. Sound quality refers to how clear and crisp the music or video sounds. Here are some things to consider when evaluating sound quality:

1. Frequency response: This refers to the range of frequencies that the earbuds can reproduce. A wider frequency response means that the earbuds can produce more detailed and accurate sound.

2. Stereo separation: This refers to how well the left and right channels of sound are separated. Good stereo separation makes it easier to pick out individual instruments in a song.

3. Distortion: This refers to how much the sound quality degrades at higher volumes. Lower distortion levels mean that the sound quality remains consistent at higher volumes.

Questions:
- What does frequency response mean?
- Why is stereo separation important?
- What is distortion, and why is it important?

Section 2: Fit

The second factor to consider when choosing earbuds is fit. Comfort and fit are crucial because if the earbuds don't fit well, they may fall out or cause discomfort during extended use. Here are some things to consider when evaluating fit:

1. Size: Earbuds come in different sizes, and it's essential to find the right size for your ears. Most earbuds come with different eartip options, so try them all before settling on a pair.

2. Secure-fit: Some earbuds have a secure-fit design that helps keep them in place during physical activity. If you plan on using your earbuds while exercising, look for a secure-fit design.

3. Noise isolation: Noise isolation refers to how well the earbuds block outside noise. If you want to use your earbuds in noisy environments, look for a pair with good noise isolation.

Questions:
- What does size mean in earbuds?
- What is secure-fit, and why is it important?
- What is noise isolation, and why is it important?

Section 3: Battery Life

The third factor to consider when choosing earbuds is battery life. Battery life refers to how long the earbuds can play music or video before needing to be recharged. Here are some things to consider when evaluating battery life:

1. Playback time: This refers to how long the earbuds can play music or video on a single charge. Look for earbuds with a long playback time, as this means you won't need to recharge them as often.

2. Charging time: This refers to how long it takes to fully charge the earbuds. Faster charging times are preferable, as this means you won't need to wait as long for your earbuds to be ready to use again.

Questions:

Comparison of rat and hamster hepatocyte primary culture/DNA repair assays.
Previous studies have demonstrated marked differences in the capacity of hepatocytes from rats or hamsters to mediate the metabolic activation of chemical carcinogens to genotoxic (ie, mutagenic) products. Thus far, very few investigations of species differences in DNA repair have been performed. Therefore, a comparison of the relative extent of DNA repair elicited by various genotoxic chemicals in rat and hamster hepatocytes was conducted, using the hepatocyte primary culture/DNA repair (HPC/DR) assay. Of the 11 chemicals tested, eight were more potent in inducing DNA repair in hamster hepatocytes than in rat hepatocytes. Dimethylnitrosamine, diethylnitrosamine, 2-acetylaminofluorene, 9-aminoacridine, pararosaniline hydrochloride, 1-naphthylamine, benzidine and 1,2:3,4-diepoxybutane were all active in hamster hepatocytes at a concentration at least ten times less than the lowest effective concentration in rat hepatocytes. The direct-acting alkylating agent, methylmethane sulfonate, was equipotent in inducing DNA repair in both rat and hamster hepatocytes, indicating that the differences in DNA repair observed for the other chemicals were probably not a result of species differences in DNA repair capacities. In contrast, 1-nitropyrene produced a greater DNA repair response in rat hepatocytes than hamster hepatocytes, while the bacterial mutagen 3-(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride was inactive in both hepatocyte systems. These studies demonstrate the feasibility of using hamster hepatocytes in the HPC/DR assay and illustrate the utility of performing the assay with hepatocytes from more than one species.

Lesson: Introduction to DNA Repair

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of DNA repair and its importance in maintaining the integrity of our genetic material.

**Grade Level:** Primary - High School

**Duration:** 45 minutes

**Materials:** None

**Introduction:** DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information that determines who we are and how we function. However, our DNA can be damaged by various factors such as radiation, chemicals, and even the natural process of metabolism. This damage can lead to mutations, which can cause diseases such as cancer. DNA repair mechanisms are essential for maintaining the integrity of our genetic material and preventing these diseases.

**Section 1: What is DNA Repair?**

DNA repair is a process by which cells correct errors that occur in the DNA molecule. There are several types of DNA repair mechanisms, including:

1. Direct reversal: This mechanism corrects errors that occur during DNA replication, such as mismatched base pairs.
2. Base excision repair: This mechanism corrects small chemical changes in the DNA molecule, such as the removal of a hydrogen atom from a cytosine base.
3. Nucleotide excision repair: This mechanism corrects large chemical changes in the DNA molecule, such as the removal of a bulky chemical group from a base.
4. Mismatch repair: This mechanism corrects errors that occur during DNA replication, such as mismatched base pairs.

**Section 2: Why is DNA Repair Important?**

DNA repair is essential for maintaining the integrity of our genetic material and preventing diseases such as cancer. Mutations in our DNA can lead to the production of abnormal proteins, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and lead to disease. By repairing DNA errors, cells can maintain their normal functions and prevent the development of diseases.

**Section 3: How does DNA Repair Work?**

DNA repair mechanisms work by recognizing errors in the DNA molecule and then using enzymes to correct the errors. These enzymes are highly specific and can recognize and correct a wide range of errors. For example, the enzyme involved in base excision repair can recognize and correct thousands of different chemical changes in the DNA molecule.

**Section 4: Examples of DNA Repair in Action**

One example of DNA repair in action is the repair of UV-induced damage in DNA. When exposed to ultraviolet light, DNA can absorb energy and form chemical bonds between adjacent pyrimidine bases (such as thymine and cytosine). This process is called cross-linking, and it can distort the DNA structure and interfere with normal cellular processes. However, cells have specialized enzymes called photolyases that can recognize and repair this damage by breaking the chemical bonds and restoring the original DNA structure.

**Conclusion:** In conclusion, DNA repair is an essential process that maintains the integrity of our genetic material and prevents the development of diseases such as cancer. By understanding the mechanisms of DNA repair, we can appreciate the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and avoiding exposure to environmental factors that can damage our DNA.

**Glossary:**
- DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid, the molecule that carries the genetic information that determines who we are and how we function.
- Mutation: A change in the DNA sequence that can affect the normal function of a gene.
- Base pair: A pair of nucleotides (A-T or C-G) that pair up to form the building blocks of DNA.
- Nucleotide: A molecule that consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
- Enzyme: A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in the body.
- Photolyase: An enzyme that can repair UV-induced damage in DNA by breaking chemical bonds between adjacent pyrimidine bases.

Apple is taking legal action against former german App Store manager Tom Sadowski and publisher Murmann Verlag to stop circulation of a book about his work, under allegations it reveals confidential "business secrets" that the author wasn't allowed to disclose.

Lawyers working for Apple have ordered Sadowski and his publisher to cease deliveries of book orders, to recall all copies of the book that are already in circulation, and to destroy all manuscripts of the book. Publisher Murmann and the author have so far resisted the demands from the iPhone maker.

Focus reports Apple believes there are confidentiality violations of Sadowski's employment contract with the company due to the book's publication, as it contains "business secrets" that are "of considerable economic value."

Apple insisted to the report it has "long supported a free press and supports authors of all kinds," but in this case Sadowski had "violated his employment relationship." This includes Apple's employment guidelines, which are "applied equally and fairly" to all employees.

Released on Tuesday in Germany, the book "App Store Confidential" by Sadowski is said to be a behind-the-scenes view of how the App Store works from the former manager's viewpoint. The book details Sadowski's journey into Apple, his personal experiences in working inside the App Store, and his meetings with Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Lesson: The Importance of Confidentiality in Business

Introduction:
Confidentiality is an essential aspect of business operations. It refers to the practice of keeping sensitive information private and away from unauthorized access. In this lesson, we will learn why confidentiality is crucial in business and how it can be maintained.

Section 1: Why Confidentiality is Crucial in Business

Topic 1: Protection of Trade Secrets
Trade secrets refer to valuable business information that gives a company a competitive edge over others. Examples include product designs, manufacturing processes, and marketing strategies. If these secrets fall into the wrong hands, they can cause significant financial losses and damage a company's reputation.

Topic 2: Prevention of Espionage
Espionage occurs when an individual or group gathers secret information about a business and uses it to their advantage. Confidentiality helps prevent espionage by ensuring that sensitive information remains within the company's boundaries.

Topic 3: Maintaining Trust with Clients and Customers
Confidentiality helps maintain trust between a company and its clients and customers. By keeping personal and financial data private, businesses can ensure that their clients and customers feel safe and secure in their dealings with them.

Section 2: How Confidentiality Can Be Maintained

Topic 1: Implementing Security Measures
Businesses can maintain confidentiality by implementing security measures such as access control, encryption, and firewalls. These measures help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Topic 2: Establishing Clear Policies and Procedures
Companies should establish clear policies and procedures that outline what information is considered confidential and how it should be handled. Employees should be trained on these policies and held accountable for any breaches.

Topic 3: Conducting Regular Audits
Regular audits should be conducted to assess the effectiveness of confidentiality measures. This helps identify weaknesses in the system and allows for timely remediation.

Section 3: Real-World Examples

Topic 1: Apple vs. Sadowski and Murmann Verlag
In this case, Apple accused Sadowski and his publisher of violating confidentiality agreements by publishing a book that contained "business secrets." This case highlights the importance of confidentiality in protecting trade secrets and maintaining a competitive edge in business.

Topic 2: Edward Snowden and the NSA Leaks
In 2013, Edward Snowden leaked classified information about the National Security Agency's (NSA) surveillance programs. This incident highlights the risks of not maintaining confidentiality in business and the severe consequences that can result from such breaches.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, confidentiality is crucial in business because it helps protect trade secrets, prevent espionage, and maintain trust with clients and customers. Companies can maintain confidentiality by implementing security measures, establishing clear policies and procedures, and conducting regular audits. Real-world examples such as the Apple vs. Sadowski case and the Edward Snowden leaks demonstrate the importance of confidentiality in business operations.
