This document details the various ways to get OpenEJB to detect applications you would like deployed while in an embedded mode.
Simplify the issue of searching for annotated applications by adding an ejb-jar.xml like this to your app:
<ejb-jar/>
OpenEJB will find the app in the classpath and deploy it along with any annotated beans it may contain.
The ejb-jar.xml can contain more than just "
This is the recommended approach for people using OpenEJB for unit testing as it allows OpenEJB to find your application in the classpath without the need for you to specify any path information which tends to complicate builds.
If you do not like the idea of having the ejb-jar.xml in your app or an openejb.xml, we can search the classpath for annotated beans (@Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven) and load them automatically just as if they contained an ejb-jar.xml.
This form of searching, however, is very expensive as it involves iterating over every path in the classpath and reading in each class definition contained thereunder and checking it for annotations.
This approach can only be made faster by helping us trim down or pinpoint the paths we should search via the openejb.deployments.classpath.include property which can be specified as a system property or a property passed into the InitialContext.
The value of this property is a regular expression and therefore can be absolute or relative. For example the path "/Users/dblevins/work/swizzle/swizzle-stream/target/classes" which contains the class files of an application you wish to test could be included in any of the following values to the "openejb.deployments.classpath.include" property:
Note the filtering is done on URLs in the classpath, so forward slashes should always be used even on OSs using backslash ("\").
There are also the openejb.deployments.classpath.exclude and openejb.exclude-include.order properties if you wish to work in the opposite direction or change the processing order. The default values for the properties are as follows:
openejb.exclude-include.order=include-exclude //Defines the processing order
openejb.deployments.classpath.include="" //Include nothing
openejb.deployments.classpath.exclude=".*" //Exclude everything
The exclude and the include are applied separately and the results of each are combined together to create the list of paths OpenEJB will scrape for annotations.
*Note:* by default these settings will only affect which jars OpenEJB will
scan for annotated components when no descriptor is found. If you would
like to use these settings to also filter out jars that do contain
descriptors, set the *openejb.deployments.classpath.filter.descriptors*
property to _true_. The default is _false_.
If the include/exclude is not being processed as you expect first try reversing the order to openejb.exclude-include.order=exclude-include There are a number internal filters that may result in an unexpected exclusion.
If you're having trouble determining if the META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file for your ejb module is in the classpath, a little debug code like this in your test setup will help you see what OpenEJB sees (which may be nothing):
Enumeration<URL> ejbJars =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResources("META-INF/ejb-jar.xml");
while (ejbJars.hasMoreElements()) {
URL url = ejbJars.nextElement();
System.out.println("app = " + url);
}

title=Obsolescence of Skills date=2009-02-24 type=post tags=blog status=published ~~~~~~
In my last post I talked about habits geared towards acquisition of skills. It does sometimes happen the other way â where you need to unlearn something, or re-frame an existing skill in a different way in order to advance with it. This is a natural part o moving forward in life, of adapting. I like to think that I do an acceptable job of keeping current, of adapting.
The proof is in the pudding: how many skills do I have the have been obsolesced*? I hadn't counted, honestly. I'm still not going to count (not that you will see, anyway!) but you might try taking a look at the Obsolete Skills Wiki to see if anything you've learned has become irrelevant, and whether you've successfully crossed that chasm.

Some are pretty dead on, or scary. "Counting back change" is - saddeningly - appropriate. How many merchants do you know that employee people who can count back change? How many people do the math to leave a 20% tip?
How many things do you know that have become irrelevant?
obsolesce - become obsolete, fall into disuse; "This word has not obsolesced, although it is rarely used"
Has the word "obsolesce" ... obsolesced?

Tweener Documentation
Tweening parameters are properties that are available when creating a new tweening with the addTween
or addCaller
methods. Because both these methods rely on loose objects for their parameters, it's important to remember the name of the available parameters. For example:
// Slide a movieclip to a new position in 0.5 seconds (AS2) Tweener.addTween(myMovieClip, {_x:10, time:0.5, transition:"linear"});
On the above example, the highlighted part make up the parameters used - that is, the transition time
is set to 0.5 seconds, and the current transition
should be linear
.
Many other parameters can be used, though, and all of them are optional. Use the reference below (or at the menu on the left) for an explanation of each parameter, and its uses, as well as examples.

dpkg-gensymbols(1) dpkg utilities dpkg-gensymbols(1) NAME dpkg-gensymbols - generate symbols files (shared library dependency information) SYNOPSIS dpkg-gensymbols [option...] DESCRIPTION dpkg-gensymbols scans a temporary build tree (debian/tmp by default) looking for libraries and generates a symbols file describing them. This file, if non-empty, is then installed in the DEBIAN subdirectory of the build tree so that it ends up included in the control information of the package. When generating those files, it uses as input some symbols files provided by the maintainer. It looks for the following files (and uses the first that is found): · debian/package.symbols.arch · debian/symbols.arch · debian/package.symbols · debian/symbols The main interest of those files is to provide the minimal version asso‐ ciated to each symbol provided by the libraries. Usually it corresponds to the first version of that package that provided the symbol, but it can be manually incremented by the maintainer if the ABI of the symbol is extended without breaking backwards compatibility. It's the responsibil‐ ity of the maintainer to keep those files up-to-date and accurate, but dpkg-gensymbols helps him. When the generated symbols files differ from the maintainer supplied one, dpkg-gensymbols will print a diff between the two versions. Furthermore if the difference is too significant, it will even fail (you can custom‐ ize how much difference you can tolerate, see the -c option). MAINTAINING SYMBOLS FILES The symbols files are really useful only if they reflect the evolution of the package through several releases. Thus the maintainer has to update them every time that a new symbol is added so that its associated minimal version matches reality. To do this properly he can use the diffs con‐ tained in the build logs. In most cases, the diff applies directly to his debian/package.symbols file. That said, further tweaks are usually needed: it's recommended for example to drop the Debian revision from the minimal version so that backports with a lower version number but the same upstream version still satisfy the generated dependencies. If the Debian revision can't be dropped because the symbol really got added by the Debian specific change, then one should suffix the version with "~". Before applying any patch to the symbols file, the maintainer should dou‐ ble-check that it's sane. Public symbols are not supposed to disappear, so the patch should ideally only add new lines. Note that you can put comments in symbols files: any line with '#' as the first character is a comment except if it starts with '#include' (see section Using includes). Lines starting with '#MISSING:' are special com‐ ments documenting symbols that have disappeared. Using #PACKAGE# substitution In some rare cases, the name of the library varies between architectures. To avoid hardcoding the name of the package in the symbols file, you can use the marker #PACKAGE#. It will be replaced by the real package name during installation of the symbols files. Contrary to the #MINVER# marker, #PACKAGE# will never appear in a symbols file inside a binary package. Using symbol tags Symbol tagging is useful for marking symbols that are special in some way. Any symbol can have an arbitrary number of tags associated with it. While all tags are parsed and stored, only a some of them are understood by dpkg-gensymbols and trigger special handling of the symbols. See sub‐ section Standard symbol tags for reference of these tags. Tag specification comes right before the symbol name (no whitespace is allowed in between). It always starts with an opening bracket (, ends with a closing bracket ) and must contain at least one tag. Multiple tags are separated by the | character. Each tag can optionally have a value which is separated form the tag name by the = character. Tag names and values can be arbitrary strings except they cannot contain any of the special ) | = characters. Symbol names following a tag specification can optionally be quoted with either ' or " characters to allow whitespaces in them. However, if there are no tags specified for the symbol, quotes are treated as part of the symbol name which continues up until the first space. (tag1=i am marked|tag name with space)"tagged quoted symbol"@Base 1.0 (optional)tagged_unquoted_symbol@Base 1.0 1 untagged_symbol@Base 1.0 The first symbol in the example is named tagged quoted symbol and has two tags: tag1 with value i am marked and tag name with space that has no value. The second symbol named tagged_unquoted_symbol is only tagged with the tag named optional. The last symbol is an example of the normal untagged symbol. Since symbol tags are an extension of the deb-symbols(5) format, they can only be part of the symbols files used in source packages (those files should then be seen as templates used to build the symbols files that are embedded in binary packages). When dpkg-gensymbols is called without the -t option, it will output symbols files compatible to the deb-symbols(5) format: it fully processes symbols according to the requirements of their standard tags and strips all tags from the output. On the contrary, in template mode (-t) all symbols and their tags (both standard and unknown ones) are kept in the output and are written in their original form as they were loaded. Standard symbol tags optional A symbol marked as optional can disappear from the library at any time and that will never cause dpkg-gensymbols to fail. However, disappeared optional symbols will continuously appear as MISSING in the diff in each new package revision. This behaviour serves as a reminder for the maintainer that such a symbol needs to be removed from the symbol file or readded to the library. When the optional symbol, which was previously declared as MISSING, sud‐ denly reappears in the next revision, it will be upgraded back to the "existing" status with its minimum version unchanged. This tag is useful for symbols which are private where their dis‐ appearance do not cause ABI breakage. For example, most of C++ template instantiations fall into this category. Like any other tag, this one may also have an arbitrary value: it could be used to indicate why the symbol is considered optional. arch=architecture list This tag allows one to restrict the set of architectures where the symbol is supposed to exist. When the symbols list is updated with the symbols discovered in the library, all arch-specific symbols which do not concern the current host architecture are treated as if they did not exist. If an arch-specific symbol matching the current host architecture does not exist in the library, normal procedures for missing symbols apply and it may cause dpkg-gensym‐ bols to fail. On the other hand, if the arch-specific symbol is found when it was not supposed to exist (because the current host architecture is not listed in the tag), it is made arch neutral (i.e. the arch tag is dropped and the symbol will appear in the diff due to this change), but it is not considered as new. When operating in the default non-template mode, among arch-spe‐ cific symbols only those that match the current host architecture are written to the symbols file. On the contrary, all arch-spe‐ cific symbols (including those from foreign arches) are always written to the symbol file when operating in template mode. The format of architecture list is the same as the one used in the Build-Depends field of debian/control (except the enclosing square brackets []). For example, the first symbol from the list below will be considered only on alpha, any-amd64 and ia64 architec‐ tures, the second only on linux architectures, while the third one anywhere except on armel. (arch=alpha any-amd64 ia64)a_64bit_specific_symbol@Base 1.0 (arch=linux-any)linux_specific_symbol@Base 1.0 (arch=!armel)symbol_armel_does_not_have@Base 1.0 ignore-blacklist dpkg-gensymbols has an internal blacklist of symbols that should not appear in symbols files as they are usually only side-effects of implementation details of the toolchain. If for some reason, you really want one of those symbols to be included in the symbols file, you should tag the symbol with ignore-blacklist. It can be necessary for some low level toolchain libraries like libgcc. c++ Denotes c++ symbol pattern. See Using symbol patterns subsection below. symver Denotes symver (symbol version) symbol pattern. See Using symbol patterns subsection below. regex Denotes regex symbol pattern. See Using symbol patterns subsection below. Using symbol patterns Unlike a standard symbol specification, a pattern may cover multiple real symbols from the library. dpkg-gensymbols will attempt to match each pat‐ tern against each real symbol that does not have a specific symbol coun‐ terpart defined in the symbol file. Whenever the first matching pattern is found, all its tags and properties will be used as a basis specifica‐ tion of the symbol. If none of the patterns matches, the symbol will be considered as new. A pattern is considered lost if it does not match any symbol in the library. By default this will trigger a dpkg-gensymbols failure under -c1 or higher level. However, if the failure is undesired, the pattern may be marked with the optional tag. Then if the pattern does not match any‐ thing, it will only appear in the diff as MISSING. Moreover, like any symbol, the pattern may be limited to the specific architectures with the arch tag. Please refer to Standard symbol tags subsection above for more information. Patterns are an extension of the deb-symbols(5) format hence they are only valid in symbol file templates. Pattern specification syntax is not any different from the one of a specific symbol. However, symbol name part of the specification serves as an expression to be matched against name@version of the real symbol. In order to distinguish among different pattern types, a pattern will typically be tagged with a special tag. At the moment, dpkg-gensymbols supports three basic pattern types: c++ This pattern is denoted by the c++ tag. It matches only C++ symbols by their demangled symbol name (as emitted by c++filt(1) utility). This pattern is very handy for matching symbols which mangled names might vary across different architectures while their demangled names remain the same. One group of such symbols is non-virtual thunks which have architecture specific offsets embedded in their mangled names. A com‐ mon instance of this case is a virtual destructor which under diamond inheritance needs a non-virtual thunk symbol. For example, even if _ZThn8_N3NSB6ClassDD1Ev@Base on 32bit architectures will probably be _ZThn16_N3NSB6ClassDD1Ev@Base on 64bit ones, it can be matched with a single c++ pattern: libdummy.so.1 libdummy1 #MINVER# [...] (c++)"non-virtual thunk to NSB::ClassD::~ClassD()@Base" 1.0 [...] The demangled name above can be obtained by executing the following command: $ echo '_ZThn8_N3NSB6ClassDD1Ev@Base' | c++filt Please note that while mangled name is unique in the library by defi‐ nition, this is not necessarily true for demangled names. A couple of distinct real symbols may have the same demangled name. For example, that's the case with non-virtual thunk symbols in complex inheritance configurations or with most constructors and destructors (since g++ typically generates two real symbols for them). However, as these col‐ lisions happen on the ABI level, they should not degrade quality of the symbol file. symver This pattern is denoted by the symver tag. Well maintained libraries have versioned symbols where each version corresponds to the upstream version where the symbol got added. If that's the case, you can use a symver pattern to match any symbol associated to the specific version. For example: libc.so.6 libc6 #MINVER# (symver)GLIBC_2.0 2.0 [...] (symver)GLIBC_2.7 2.7<EMAIL_ADDRESS>2.2 All symbols associated with versions GLIBC_2.0 and GLIBC_2.7 will lead to minimal version of 2.0 and 2.7 respectively with the exception of the symbol<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The latter will lead to a minimal depen‐ dency on libc6 version 2.2 despite being in the scope of the "(symver)GLIBC_2.0" pattern because specific symbols take precedence over patterns. Please note that while old style wildcard patterns (denoted by "*@ver‐ sion" in the symbol name field) are still supported, they have been deprecated by new style syntax "(symver|optional)version". For exam‐ ple<EMAIL_ADDRESS>2.0" should be written as "(symver|optional)GLIBC_2.0 2.0" if the same behaviour is needed. regex Regular expression patterns are denoted by the regex tag. They match by the perl regular expression specified in the symbol name field. A regular expression is matched as it is, therefore do not forget to start it with the ^ character or it may match any part of the real symbol name@version string. For example: libdummy.so.1 libdummy1 #MINVER# (regex)"^mystack_.*@Base$" 1.0 (regex|optional)"private" 1.0 Symbols like "mystack_new@Base", "mystack_push@Base", "mys‐ tack_pop@Base" etc. will be matched by the first pattern while e.g. "ng_mystack_new@Base" won't. The second pattern will match all sym‐ bols having the string "private" in their names and matches will inherit optional tag from the pattern. Basic patterns listed above can be combined where it makes sense. In that case, they are processed in the order in which the tags are specified. For example, both (c++|regex)"^NSA::ClassA::Private::privmethod\d\(int\)@Base" 1.0 (regex|c++)N3NSA6ClassA7Private11privmethod\dEi@Base 1.0 will match symbols "_ZN3NSA6ClassA7Private11privmethod1Ei@Base" and "_ZN3NSA6ClassA7Private11privmethod2Ei@Base". When matching the first pattern, the raw symbol is first demangled as C++ symbol, then the deman‐ gled name is matched against the regular expression. On the other hand, when matching the second pattern, regular expression is matched against the raw symbol name, then the symbol is tested if it is C++ one by attempting to demangle it. A failure of any basic pattern will result in the failure of the whole pattern. Therefore, for example, "__N3NSA6ClassA7Private11privmethod\dEi@Base" will not match either of the patterns because it is not a valid C++ symbol. In general, all patterns are divided into two groups: aliases (basic c++ and symver) and generic patterns (regex, all combinations of multiple basic patterns). Matching of basic alias-based patterns is fast (O(1)) while generic patterns are O(N) (N - generic pattern count) for each sym‐ bol. Therefore, it is recommended not to overuse generic patterns. When multiple patterns match the same real symbol, aliases (first c++, then symver) are preferred over generic patterns. Generic patterns are matched in the order they are found in the symbol file template until the first success. Please note, however, that manual reordering of template file entries is not recommended because dpkg-gensymbols generates diffs based on the alphanumerical order of their names. Using includes When the set of exported symbols differ between architectures, it may become inefficient to use a single symbol file. In those cases, an include directive may prove to be useful in a couple of ways: · You can factorize the common part in some external file and include that file in your package.symbols.arch file by using an include directive like this: #include "packages.symbols.common" · The include directive may also be tagged like any symbol: (tag|...|tagN)#include "file-to-include" As a result, all symbols included from file-to-include will be con‐ sidered to be tagged with tag ... tagN by default. You can use this feature to create a common package.symbols file which includes archi‐ tecture specific symbol files: common_symbol1@Base 1.0 (arch=amd64 ia64 alpha)#include "package.symbols.64bit" (arch=!amd64 !ia64 !alpha)#include "package.symbols.32bit" common_symbol2@Base 1.0 The symbols files are read line by line, and include directives are pro‐ cessed as soon as they are encountered. This means that the content of the included file can override any content that appeared before the include directive and that any content after the directive can override anything contained in the included file. Any symbol (or even another #include directive) in the included file can specify additional tags or override values of the inherited tags in its tag specification. However, there is no way for the symbol to remove any of the inherited tags. An included file can repeat the header line containing the SONAME of the library. In that case, it overrides any header line previously read. However, in general it's best to avoid duplicating header lines. One way to do it is the following: #include "libsomething1.symbols.common" arch_specific_symbol@Base 1.0 Good library management A well-maintained library has the following features: · its API is stable (public symbols are never dropped, only new public symbols are added) and changes in incompatible ways only when the SONAME changes; · ideally, it uses symbol versioning to achieve ABI stability despite internal changes and API extension; · it doesn't export private symbols (such symbols can be tagged optional as workaround). While maintaining the symbols file, it's easy to notice appearance and disappearance of symbols. But it's more difficult to catch incompatible API and ABI change. Thus the maintainer should read thoroughly the upstream changelog looking for cases where the rules of good library man‐ agement have been broken. If potential problems are discovered, the upstream author should be notified as an upstream fix is always better than a Debian specific work-around. OPTIONS -Ppackage-build-dir Scan package-build-dir instead of debian/tmp. -ppackage Define the package name. Required if more than one binary package is listed in debian/control (or if there's no debian/control file). -vversion Define the package version. Defaults to the version extracted from debian/changelog. Required if called outside of a source package tree. -elibrary-file Only analyze libraries explicitly listed instead of finding all public libraries. You can use shell patterns used for pathname expansions (see the File::Glob manual page for details) in library-file to match multiple libraries with a single argument (otherwise you need multiple -e). -Ifilename Use filename as reference file to generate the symbols file that is integrated in the package itself. -O Print the generated symbols file to standard output, rather than being stored in the package build tree. -Ofilename Store the generated symbols file as filename. If filename is pre- existing, its content is used as basis for the generated symbols file. You can use this feature to update a symbols file so that it matches a newer upstream version of your library. -t Write the symbol file in template mode rather than the format com‐ patible with deb-symbols(5). The main difference is that in the template mode symbol names and tags are written in their original form contrary to the post-processed symbol names with tags stripped in the compatibility mode. Moreover, some symbols might be omitted when writing a standard deb-symbols(5) file (according to the tag processing rules) while all symbols are always written to the symbol file template. -c[0-4] Define the checks to do when comparing the generated symbols file with the template file used as starting point. By default the level is 1. Increasing levels do more checks and include all checks of lower levels. Level 0 never fails. Level 1 fails if some symbols have disappeared. Level 2 fails if some new symbols have been introduced. Level 3 fails if some libraries have disappeared. Level 4 fails if some libraries have been introduced. This value can be overridden by the environment variable DPKG_GEN‐ SYMBOLS_CHECK_LEVEL. -q Keep quiet and never generate a diff between generated symbols file and the template file used as starting point or show any warnings about new/lost libraries or new/lost symbols. This option only disables informational output but not the checks themselves (see -c option). -aarch Assume arch as host architecture when processing symbol files. Use this option to generate a symbol file or diff for any architecture provided its binaries are already available. -d Enable debug mode. Numerous messages are displayed to explain what dpkg-gensymbols does. -V Enable verbose mode. The generated symbols file contains depre‐ cated symbols as comments. Furthermore in template mode, pattern symbols are followed by comments listing real symbols that have matched the pattern. -?, --help Show the usage message and exit. --version Show the version and exit.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1996 Michael John Legeros
(Paramount) Directed by Brian DePalma Written by David Koepp and Robert Towne, from a story by David Keopp and Steven Zaillan Cast Tom Cruise, Emmanuelle Beart, Jon Voight, Vanessa Redgrave, Henry Czerny, Ving Rhames, Jean Reno, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Emilio Estevez MPAA Rating "PG" Running Time 110 minutes
==
Though you can't take your eyes off of it, director Brian DePalma's hotly anticipated adaptation of the classic '60's spy series is a misfire of near-colossal proportions. *Huge* amounts of effort and talent are up on the screen and, yet, the movie fails to meet the most-simple of narrative standards: it doesn't draw us into the characters. Period. Minutes pass, scenes change, but that crucial connection never happens. Blame the lousy pre-credits opening, for starters.  Huh? This terrible sequence was reportedly *much* more elaborate, until the test audiences got hold of it. God help us. Now, the scene runs about five minutes and that's all the introduction we get. Almost no chance to identify the characters, nor assimilate the action, nor get a feel for the film's tone. Needless to say, the movie never recovers from this misstep.
What we later learn is that said soap stars are really a team of secret agents. They work for Mr. Phelps (Jon Voight, looking very old), a shadowy government figure who must owe Blockbuster Video some serious bucks because all of his tapes keep self-destructing. (The character of Mr. Phelps is one of the few elements retained from the television series; another is composer Lalo Schifrin's cool theme music.) The story has Mr. Phelps accompanying his IMF team on a doomed mission to Prague, to intercept someone who's selling the real names of secret agents. (Said list is largely responsible for turning the plot screws. Would you like some fries with your MacGuffin?)  Notice that I'm not telling much of the plot. The rest of the story has Hunt on the run, ducking his superiors while trying to catch the real bad guys.
The whole thing is far more convoluted than I can describe here. And the tone isn't much better. DePalma tries be both serious and silly and it doesn't work. The major components of the movie are too heavy; the handsome cast, the top production values, etc. all but squeeze the cheese right out of the film. So, instead of integration, we get a study in contrasts: fine actors like Kristin Scott-Thomas playing straight to somebody wearing obvious old-age make-up. Or, those imposing international locales that are announced to the audience in gigantic letters on title cards. Or, my favorite, the dramatic confrontations and the crazy angles that capture them. Holy tilted camera!
The camera tilts are absurdly appropriate, though, given the film's low Believability Factor (BF). When Cruise's character escapes from a restaurant, for example, he blows up an aquarium that releases enough water to supply a small city. (BF=0.09) And there are *many* such goofs, gaffes, and general "head-scratchers" scattered about. Respectable writers David Koepp (JURASSIC PARK), Steven Zaillan (SCHINDLER'S LIST), and Robert Towne (CHINATOWN) are listed in the credits. I wonder which one was responsible for that amazing "Internet magic" that Hunt performs? Or who thought it believable that Hunt would retreat to a government-sponsored safe house, after said government was now hunting *him*? As the movie is nearly devoid of any humor, these unintentional amusements-- like the sight of Vanessa Redgrave wearing what's either a bad wig or a bad dye job-- provide some critically needed chuckles. (One *intentional* gas is the film's standout sequence, involving the theft of a computer file from a secured room at the CIA Headquarters. It's vintage DePalma and *far* more exciting that the speed-train-helicopter-into-the-Chunnel-chase finale.)
Still, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE should generate both good returns and good word of mouth. Working with an array of accomplished actors, lavish locales, and cool camera tricks, DePalma has created a convincing illusion. He's made the quintessential Hollywood product: a well- produced and well-promoted thrill machine. If the applause at the screening that I saw is any indication, *many* people are going to enjoy this movie and many people are going to think that they've really *seen* something. For the rest of the us-- those already sensitive since that terrible TWISTER blew through-- we can roll with what's awful and still have some fun. After all, the director *is* Brian DePalma. He knows how to handle trash and turn it into something that's entirely watchable.

The New Survivalist

Chapter 14:
|
|
Getting Around After a DisasterWhat will you do when you run out of gasoline and there is no more at the filling stations? I am going to assume that a horse or horse-drawn carriage is impractical for you. Unless you have a farm or ranch and already enjoy horseback riding, I am not going to recommend that you include one in your survival stash. For one thing, they eat...well, like a horse! I also do not recommend that you stockpile gasoline, at least not more than perhaps one or two 5-gallon cans. It is too dangerous. Gasoline also does not keep well. It starts going bad after about a year in storage. If you do choose to store a small amount of gasoline be sure to rotate it out, using it in your vehicle and replacing what you have in storage every 6 months or so. Gasoline additives are available at automotive supply stores that help stabilize gasoline, increasing its storage life somewhat. Diesel oil is much more stable than gasoline and more suitable for storage. It is also less volatile and therefore less dangerous to keep around. But even diesel fuel should not be stored for more than a few years. If you have a motorcycle or scooter you will be able to get more miles out of each gallon of gasoline that you are able to scrounge up during an emergency. As soon as the filling stations run out of gas, you will want to park your car and use your motorcycle instead. A siphon hose suitable for gasoline should be a part of your survival stash. For as long as it lasts you can use the gasoline in your car as your supply for your motorcycle. But conservation is important. You will want to keep some of your gasoline for your garden tiller. |
|
I get about 75 to 80 miles per gallon of gasoline (about 3 liters per 100 km), and sometimes more, on my 250 cc motorcycle, a Honda Rebel. |
|
Bicycling is one of the most efficient means of transportation allowing you to cover fairly large distances at reasonably fast speeds and with minimal expenditure of energy. |
|
You can also haul a fair amount on a bicycle or motorcycle if you have a transit rack and/or saddle bag type panniers. Your survival stash should include a good well-maintained bicycle for each member of your family along with the tools and accessories needed to keep them running smoothly, including a tire repair kit and pump. It is also a good idea to stockpile extra tires and inner tubes. |
|
Do you know what the most common mode of transportation in China is today? If you are thinking bicycles you are wrong. The most common mode of transportation is walking. When we run out of gasoline we will no doubt be doing a lot of walking. We should all have good well-fitted walking shoes and/or hiking boots appropriate for each season. An extra pair or two in your survival stash along with plenty of good socks could prove most useful. You should also have good walking boots that are appropriate for freezing and wet conditions along with thick wool socks. Unlike many other materials wool provides good insulation against the cold even when it is wet. Good walking shoes and socks are very important for the survivalist so don't neglect this important detail. Blister formation can be minimized by insuring that your shoes fit well and by wearing good socks. But some blistering will no doubt be inevitable so be sure to stock up on mole skins. Every first aid kit that you own, especially the small ones that you put in your bug out bags, should include a supply of mole skins along with scissors for cutting them to the appropriate sizes. Take care of any sores that you get on your feet immediately, no matter how small. Don't let a minor foot problem become a major one. Take good care of your feet! |
In Case of EvacuationFor years I lived in Gulfport, Mississippi, and so I have experienced many city evacuations due to hurricane threats. Fortunately, these days hurricane landfalls are predicted days in advance. When an evacuation is recommended some people choose to leave right away while others wait until the last minute. And of course if the threat does not appear too great many people choose to stay. Many store shelves are emptied as people stock up on emergency provisions at the last minute. Since everyone does not try to leave the city at the same time evacuations are quite orderly and most go smoothly. There are traffic jams on the highways but the traffic usually continues moving, somewhat slowly perhaps, but since it is generally many hours before the hurricane will make landfall everything usually goes quite well and there is rarely a panic. I can imagine quite a different scenario if everyone were to attempt to evacuate a large city at the same timeand in a hurry due to a panic!  Everything will come to a complete standstill. People in a panic and will do crazy things. Automobiles, engines idling for hours, will run out of fuel and lanes and exits will be blocked. Others will try to drive around slow or stalled vehicles, perhaps even using their cars as battering rams. Accidents will be everywhere and some people will become violent and dangerous. It will not be a pretty picture! If you are on a motorcycle you will be in a better position because it will be easier for you to maneuver around stalled vehicles. |
|
As I have stated before, if at all possible, you should batten down rather than bug out. In most circumstances you will be much better off in the safety of your home, along with your survival supplies, rather than in the streets battling it out with desperate people in a panic. I am not advocating that you ignore evacuation orders, especially when the threat is as dangerous as a hurricane or forest fire. But every emergency is different, and you should use your own judgment when deciding on the best course of action, rather than relying entirely on government officials. Be well aware of what you may be facing if you choose to hit the streets. If you absolutely have to evacuate, your family will be ready with your well-stocked bug out bags.  Hopefully you will not have to stop for fuel, for the lines will be long. That is a good reason for always keeping your vehicle's fuel tank filled, rather than running around all the time with only half a tank or less. Don't plan on stopping at the store! The lines will be long there too and you will be wasting valuable time. That's why everyone in your family has a bug out bag in the first place. Neither will you have to stop by the bank or ATM because you will also have plenty of cash as part of the emergency supplies in your bug out bags. |
|
Have a plan. Know where you are going. But don't count on finding a motel room for they will be booked solid. Ideally you will be making your way to the house of a family member or friend, where someone will be waiting for your arrival. You do not want to become a refugee of the state. Ask the New Orleans residents who were victims of Hurricane Katrina what it is like to be a refugee of the state! Be prepared to leave your vehicle if you absolutely have to. That is why everyone has his or her own individual bug out bag, so each person can carry some supplies. Everyone should also be equipped with good walking shoes and plenty of clothing appropriate for the current weather conditions. Have a portable shelter, such as a small tent, or at least a small tarpaulin or sheet of plastic with which you can make a lean-to shelter.  You should be prepared for even the worst case scenario. |
| If you have to leave your car behind and are trying to leave the city on foot, the quickest route may be to follow a railroad track. They tend to be less circuitous than the highways and roads and there will probably be less traffic. Do some research beforehand so you will know for sure where your track leads, and by all means watch out for trains. You might even be able to hop on a slow-moving freight train. But don't count on it. That could be very dangerous so don't risk it if the train is moving the least bit too fast or it if seems too dangerous for any other reason. I hope by now you can appreciate the importance of staying in your home if at all possible! |

In the classroom example, you will have many files that you wish to test for their equivalence, and you won't want to read the output for each of the student's solutions.
One approach is to build a test circuit that does the comparison directly. Here, we create an additional circuit within the testing file that contains our solution circuit. In our overall testing circuit, we include both the subcircuit from adder-master.circ and the subcircuit from the solution circuit located directly into the nested circuit. We wire it so that there is just one output, which is 1 as long as the two subcircuits agree.
Now we can simply run Logisim substituting each query file. For any correct
solution, the only output will be 1
.
If you're quite comfortable with the command line, you can build your own shell script to accomplish this. Here, we'll use redirection (the > operator) to save the output of each circuit into a file. For instance, we might issue the following two commands to collect the output of the master circuit and the query circuit.
java -jar logisim-filename.jar adder-test.circ -tty table > output-master.txt
java -jar logisim-filename.jar adder-test.circ -tty table -sub adder-master.circ adder-query.circ > output-query.txt
Now we've created two different files. We can then compare the two output files using a program built for that purpose. Under Linux or MacOS X, you might want to use the cmp or diff command-line utilities. Under Windows, you might want to use WinMerge.
To process several query files, you would like want to build a simple program such as a shell script to iterate through each and comparing the output. Here is how I would do it under Linux's bash:
RUN_TEST="java -jar logisim-filename.jar adder-test.circ -tty table"
${RUN_TEST} > output-master.txt
for QUERY_FILE in adder-query*.circ
do
if ${RUN_TEST} -sub adder-master.circ ${QUERY_FILE} | cmp -s output-master.txt
then
echo "${QUERY_FILE} OK"
else
echo "${QUERY_FILE} different"
fi
done

Your shoes say a lot about you and the way you style them will further affect the way you are perceived by others. Here are a few tips and style ideas to help you put your best foot forward every day:
Meeting your girlfriend’s parents for lunch this weekend? Pick a pair of deep burgundy leather PULLO sandals with metal buckle closure at the ankle and lace-up detail.
Pair it with a complementary kurti and jeans, and top the look off with a leather and metal watch.
Prepping hard for that all-important interview next week? Opt for a pair of black formal PULLO pumps with a glossy finish and pretty bow detail on the toe box.
Pair it with a black pencil skirt and mauve shirt-blouse for a well put-together look. Wear your hair in a sleek, high ponytail and go in for natural-looking makeup with nude shades to ooze class and confidence.
Want something that will protect your little one from the cold during the winter months while also keeping him comfortable through his many shenanigans?
Pick tan leather Mochi boots that can be teamed with almost every outfit.
Who doesn’t love a beach vacation with near and dear ones?
Choose a pair of casual PULLO mules with a straw-coloured, cork-like texture and thick criss-cross straps with a metallic finish. Pair them with a halter-neck top and denim shorts or skirt and a wide-brimmed hat for a cutesy look.


This release consist of significant changes on the Ballerina distribution. The name of the distribution has been changed from Ballerina Platform to Ballerina. The Composer is not shipped with the distribution anymore and its functionalities are now included in the VSCode plugin directly.
Ballerina distribution now consists of Ballerina language and toolings components. This change is also reflected in the Docker hub images. From this release onwards, the Ballerina Docker image consists of Ballerina language and tooling components. Ballerina runtime is available in an image named ballerina-runtime.
Object type reference syntax Object type references provide a way to copy the members from an abstract object into another object. It is equivalent to specifying the members explicitly within the new object.
type Person abstract object {
public int age;
public string firstName;
public string lastName;
function getFullName() returns string;
};
type Manager object {
*Person; // Referencing 'Person' object.
*Owner; // Referencing another object.
public string dpt;
function getFullName() returns string {
return firstName + " " + lastName;
}
};
Optional fields in records
Fields in records can now be marked as optional by adding ?
to the end of the identifier. When creating a record, optional fields can be omitted. Omitting a required field results in a compile error. Fields with implicit initial values or explicitly defined default values are effectively optional fields even if they are not marked as optional. Explicit default values cannot be set to optional fields.
type Gender "male"|"female";
type Person record {
string fname = "default"; // required field with explicit default value
string lname; // required field with implicit initial value
Gender gender; // non-defaultable required field
function (Person) returns string details?; // optional field with no implicit initial value
};
public function main() {
Person p = {gender: "male"};
p.details = function (Person p) returns string {
return "[" + p.fname + " " + p.lname + "]";
};
}
Table syntax The keyword used for the primary key of a table has changed to “key”.
table<Employee> tbEmployee = table {
{ key id, name, salary },
[ { 1, "Mary", 300.5 },
{ 2, "John", 200.5 },
{ 3, "Jim", 330.5 }
]
};
Post increment and decrement operators These were statements in Ballerina and there was no siginificant improvement as these cannot be used as expressions. Therefore, these statements have been removed to simplify usage.
Old syntax
int i = 1;
i++;
Alternative syntax
int i = 1;
i += 1;
ballerinax/jdbc
http:SecureListener
and http:APIListener
were removed. Relevant functionalities were consolidated into http:Listener
.propagateToken
field of http:AuthProvider
was renamed to propagateJwt
.From this release onwards, Composer is removed from the distribution. You can view and edit Ballerina programs visually using the VSCode plugin.

THE WITCH OF TREVA.
Once a time, long ago, there lived at Treva, a hamlet in Zennor, a wonderful old lady deeply skilled in necromancy. Her charms, spells, and dark incantations made her the terror of the neighbourhood. However, this old lady failed to impress her husband with any belief in her supernatural powers, nor did he fail to proclaim his unbelief aloud.
One day this sceptic came home to dinner, and found, being exceedingly hungry, to his bitter disappointment, that not only was there no dinner to eat, but that there was no meat in the house. His rage was great, but all he could get from his wife was, "I couldn't get meat out of the stones, could I ?" It was in vain to give the reins to passion, the old woman told him, and he must know "that hard words buttered no parsnips." Well, at length he resolved to put his wife's powers to the proof, and he quietly but determinedly told her that he would be the death of her if she did not get him some dinner; but if in half an hour she gave him some good cooked meat, he would believe all she had boasted of her power, and be submissive to her for ever. St Ives, the nearest market-town, was five miles off; but nothing doubting, the witch put on her bonnet and cloak, and started. Her husband watched her from their cottage door, down the hill; and at the bottom of the hill, he saw his wife quietly place herself on the ground and disappear. In her place a fine hare ran on at its full speed.
He was not a little startled, but he waited, and within the half-hour in walked his wife with "good flesh and taties all ready for aiting." There was no longer any doubt, and the poor husband lived in fear of the witch of Treva to the day of her death.
 Howbeit, peace in the shape of pale-faced death came to her at last, and then a black cloud rested over the house when all the heavens were clear and blue.
She was borne to the grave by six aged men, carried, as is the custom, underhand. When they were about half way between the house and the church, a hare started from the roadside am leaped over the coffin. The terrified bearers let the corpse fall to the ground, and ran away. Another lot of men took up the coffin and proceeded. They had not gone far when puss was suddenly seen seated on the coffin, and again the coffin was abandoned After long consultation, and being persuaded by the parson to carry the old woman very quickly into the churchyard, while he walked before, six others made the attempt, and as the parson never ceased to repeat the Lord's Prayer, all went on quietly. Arrived at the church stile, they rested the corpse, the parson paused to commence the ordinary burial service, and there stood the hare which, as soon as the clergyman began "I am the resurrection and the life," uttered a diabolical howl, changed into a black, un-shapen creature, and disappeared.


The button spinner will show a visual indicator that something is happening.
The slg-button-spinner attribute will be used to declare which scope variable will be used to show/hide the spinner.
A value of true will show the spinner, false will hide it.
The showPleaseWait component will render an gray overlay with a spinner that prevents any user action on the page.
The service will wait a default of 300ms before showing the overlay. You can override this by passing a value into the .show().
It will also timeout after 20 seconds and return to a non-overlayed status. If you don't want a timeout, use forceShow and forceHide.
Usage:

import data.nat.prime open nat example : prime 11 := dec_trivial
fails, with
exact tactic failed, type mismatch, given expression has type true but is expected to have type as_true (prime 11)
but
import data.nat.prime open nat instance (n : ℕ) : decidable (prime n) := nat.decidable_prime_1 n example : prime 11 := dec_trivial
works. What's going with with nat.decidable_prime
? It seems to be failing.
There are two decidable instances. One works in the VM and the other works in the kernel
You should use by norm_num
to prove this though
I see. Maybe we should put some comments on those instances explaining this.
I think that would a good idea as this has come up before.
Ok, I've made https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib/pull/757. If someone could check that I actually wrote the right things, that would be great. :-)
I still don't understand why example : prime 11 := dec_trivial
with the default instances actually fails. @Rob Lewis and @Mario Carneiro have explained at https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib/pull/757 that the problem is the kernel having to unfold proofs in the well-founded recursion used by the first instance. But why failure, rather than just being slow?!
because proofs are irreducible
So, why do we provide that default decidable_prime
instance at all? It's apparently faster in the VM, but who is actually taking advantage of that?
It means that #eval
and tactics can use it
I think norm_num
uses it
I think it is actually a timeout problem. I traced the evaluation of nat.prime 7
back to evaluation of nat.size 7
, which times out when you #reduce
I think it might be the rw
inside binary_rec
let's make a PR to core!

http://justinsboringpage.blogspot.com/2009/01/finding-writable-files-in-directory-in.html
The syntax is slightly different for oldest operating systems. Check here: https://www.computerhope.com/dirhlp.htm
dir /a-r-d /s /b
/a is to search attributes
- negates thos attributes, so we're looking for writable files only
/s means recurse subdirectories
/b means bare format. Path and filename only.
More on attributes:
from www.computerhope.com:
/A:Attributes Displays only files with the specified file attributes. Attributes is a series of letters, each representing an attribute as shown below.
D : Directories.
R : Read-only files.
H : Hidden files.
A : Files marked ready for archiving.
S : System files.
I : Non-indexed files.
L : Reparse points.
- : Prefix meaning "not".
For example, the option "/A:R-A" would match only files whose attributes (/A:) are read-only (R) and not (-) ready to be archived (A).
Copy pasta output below. Not sorted or cleaned up for formatting.
Syntax
The syntax of the dir command has evolved somewhat over time. Select your operating system to jump to the information that applies to your version.
Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and 2000.
Windows ME, 98, 95, 3.x, and MS-DOS.
Syntax in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, and 2000.
DIR [Drive:][Path][FileName] [/A[[:]Attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]
[/O[[:]SortOrder]] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/S] [/T[[:]TimeField]] [/W] [/X] [/4]
[Drive:][Path][FileName] Specifies the drive, directory, or files to list. Multiple filespecs are allowed, e.g., "*.txt *.exe".
/A:Attributes Displays only files with the specified file attributes. Attributes is a series of letters, each representing an attribute as shown below.
D : Directories.
R : Read-only files.
H : Hidden files.
A : Files marked ready for archiving.
S : System files.
I : Non-indexed files.
L : Reparse points.
- : Prefix meaning "not".
For example, the option "/A:R-A" would match only files whose attributes (/A:) are read-only (R) and not (-) ready to be archived (A).
/B Uses bare format (no heading information or summary, just the information itself).
/C Display the thousand separator in file sizes (e.g., a comma after every third digit), which is the default setting. Use /-C to disable the display of separator.
/D Same as wide (/W), but files are sorted by column, rather than by row.
/L Uses lowercase in the output.
/N "New long-list" format, which displays file names on the far right.
/O:SortOrder Sort the list of files by SortOrder, a series of letters representing sort criteria.
N : By name (alphabetic).
S : By size (smallest first).
E : By extension (alphabetic).
D : By date/time (oldest first).
G : Group directories first.
- : Prefix to reverse order.
For instance, an option of "/O:D" displays files oldest-to-newest, and "/O:-S" displays files biggest-to-smallest.
/P Pauses after each screenful of information.
/Q Display the owner of the file.
/R Display alternate data streams of the file.
/S Displays files recursively, traversing any subdirectories.
/T TimeField Specify the time field displayed and used for sorting. TimeField may be any of the following letters.
C : Creation time.
A : Last access time.
W : Last write time.
For instance, when you use the option "/T:C," the time listed is when the file was created.
/W Uses wide list format, displaying file/folder names only, with multiple names on every line.
/X Displays the short names generated for non-8dot3 file names. The format is that of /N ("new long-list" format, see above), with the short name inserted before the long name. If no short name is present, blanks are displayed in its place.
/4 Display years with four digits, e.g., 2018 instead of 18.
Syntax in Windows ME, 98, 95, 3.x, and MS-DOS.
DIR [Drive:][Path][FileName] [/P] [/W] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/O[[:]sortorder]] [/S]
[/B] [/L] [/V]
[Drive:][Path][FileName] Specifies drive, directory, or files to list. Multiple filespecs are allowed, e.g., "*.txt *.exe".
/P Pauses after each screenful of information.
/W Uses wide list format.
/A[:Attributes] List only files with the specified file attributes. Attributes is a series of letters indicating.
D : Directories.
R : Read-only files.
H : Hidden files.
A : Files ready for archiving.
S : System files.
- : Prefix meaning "not".
/O[:SortOrder] List files in sorted order, indicated by SortOrder.
N : By name (alphabetic).
S : By size (smallest first).
E : By extension (alphabetic).
D : By date and time (earliest first).
G : Group directories first.
- : Prefix to reverse order.
A : By last access date (earliest first).
/S List files and directories recursively, traversing subdirectories.
/B Uses bare format (no heading information or summary).
/L Uses lowercase.
/V Verbose mode. Display extra information.
Examples
dir
Lists all files and directories in the current directory.
dir *.exe
Lists any file whose name has the file extension ".exe".
dir *.txt *.doc
List any files whose name has the file extension ".txt" or ".doc".
dir /a:d
Lists only directories.
dir /a:r
List only files with the read-only attribute.
dir /s
Recursively lists files and directories in the directory, and in any subdirectories. For instance, if your current directory is the root directory "C:\>," this command this will list every file and directory on the C: drive.
dir /p
Pause after each screenful of output. Use this option if the information is scrolling past the screen before you can read it. You'll be prompted to press any key before listing continues past the current screen.
dir /w
Lists multiple file names on every line, producing "wide" output, which displays more file names at once. However, other information such as file size is omitted.
dir /s /w /p
Recursively lists all files and directories in the current directory and any subdirectories, in wide format, pausing after each screen of output.
dir /s /w /p "C:\Program Files"
Same as the above command, but lists everything in C:\Program Files, instead of the current directory. Because the directory name contains a space, it is enclosed in double-quotes, to prevent it from being interpreted is as two separate options.
dir /o:n
Lists files and directories in the current directory in alphabetical order. This example is the same as just running dir because files and directories are listed in alphabetical order by default.
dir /o:-n
Lists files in reverse alphabetical order.
dir /s /q /a:sh /p C:\Windows
Lists any files and directories in C:\Windows, and any of its subdirectories (/s), which have both the "hidden" and "system" file attributes (/a:sh). Also, lists the owner of the file (/q), and pauses after each screen of output (/p).
dir \ /s | find "i" | more
The above command uses vertical bars to pipe the output from dir to the command find, and then to the command more. The result is a list of all files and directories in the root directory of the current drive (\), with extra information. Namely, find will also display the number of files in each directory, and the amount of space occupied by each.
dir > myfile.txt
Runs the dir command, but redirects the output to the file myfile.txt, instead of displaying it on the screen. Here, the dir command has no options, but redirection will work with any command you specify, so this will also work:
dir /s /a:hs /q C:\Windows > myfile.txt
To view the contents of the file, you can use the type command:
type myfile.txt
If the file is very long, you can pipe type to more, so it pauses after each screen:
type myfile.txt | more

by Ray C. Stedman
Most scholars feel that the magnificent description of Christ found in verses 15-20 of Colossians 1 represents an early Christian hymn which Paul is quoting. These verses may represent the very first of all Christmas carols. If so; it is a hymn of two stanzas. The first concerns Jesus as Lord of creation, i.e. the material universe, and all forces at work within it. The second stanza speaks of Jesus as Lord of the new creation, the new humanity. We have lost the tune for this hymn, but we still have these words which focus upon our Lord's overall supremacy.
Here are Paul's words:
"He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy."
The church, of course, is the new creation. It is healthy to remind ourselves of that because many churches seem to forget it. The church is something eternally new which the world has never seen before. It is quite different from any other organization or organism among men. It is a sad thing to observe the loss of this concept among Christians. As I travel about I have noted the way people think about their church. I am afraid that the most widespread concept is that the church is a religious country club, operated for the enjoyment and benefit of the members; it makes its own rules and exists for its own purposes. That is a far cry indeed from the New Testament description of the church.
Others look upon the church as a collection of emotional misfits who are waiting for the first bus to glory. I fear some of us give them good reason to think that! Then there are those, like the Colossians, who are a group of eager beaver religious fanatics, running after every new doctrine that comes along, especially if it offers a good feeling and has a sense of magic and mystery about it. That to many is the church.
But here the apostle corrects these false ideas and declares that Jesus is the Head of the body, which is the church. Paul relates the two together as a head and trunk relate in a physical body. This is one of the most important statements in the New Testament about the church. God has actually given us a model to carry around with us (our own body), so that we may understand how the church is to function. The church is a body, and we all have bodies. The church has a Head, and we too have heads. To understand the church and how it should function, think about your own body and how it functions.
If you stand in front of a mirror you will notice, I hope, that there are two divisions of the body. The knob up on top, with more or less hair, we call the head. It is the control center of the body. The rest of the body, with its appendages of arms and legs, etc., is all part of the trunk. That is a body---and the head runs the body! Many churches seem to forget that. Think what would happen to your body if somebody removed your head. It doesn't appear that any of you has had that experience since most of you seem to be well attached. When I was a boy growing up in Montana, we did not buy chickens at the grocery store all nicely packaged in plastic.   It does not simply quietly perish, but jumps and runs around, out of control for a minute or two, before it finally dies. Churches that lose their awareness of the Head are like that---they too go out of control. They do not know what to do. They run about and become involved in things they ought not to have anything to do with. They have, for all practical purposes, lost their Head.
That was the trouble at Colossae. In chapter two Paul says they "have lost connection to the head." It is essential, therefore, that a church must have its Head in place and functioning: supplying direction, maintaining order, giving it health, solvingits difficulties, coordinating its activities, and supplying to every single member its own kind of life. That is what your physical head does, and that is what Jesus, as Head of the body, desires to do. This must find application on an individual basis. Oftentimes we fail to see that a church consists of individuals. You are the church! It cannot act as a corporate body very often---it is not expected to. Yet, because we have false concepts of the church, we often expect the corporation to act for us. But Christ's body is not designed that way. Each individual is directly related to the Head. It is he who should direct each of us in our activities through the week. That is where the church truly functions, not here on Sunday morning. Here is where the church is taught by the Head, where we learn how to function. But we actually function away from here, in our homes and neighborhoods. There we must relate directly to the Head, expecting him to open doors, provide energy, wisdom, comfort and forgiveness. That is where the church touches society on every side.
Yet, despite the fact that we are to function as individuals, we must never forget that we belong to the whole, not only this local body but the whole body of Christ all over the world. We are all related to one another. This marvelous mystery of relationship constitutes one of the most exciting things in the world today. When the church functions properly it is far and away the most powerfully effective body on earth. That is what Jesus means when he said, "You are the salt of the earth; you are the light of the world." As individuals we must remember that our part is to respond to personal direction from the Head: to do as he says and obey his word.
Now Paul tells us, in two marvelously descriptive phrases, exactly why Jesus is the Head of the body. First, he says, "he is the beginning." The beginning of what? The beginning of the church! He is the One from whom the church gets its life. There are several "beginnings" in Scripture. The Bible opens on that note: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." But that is not the beginning referred to here. There is another"beginning"in the gospel of John: "In the beginning was the Word." That goes back even before creation. But that is not the "beginning" spoken of here either. The "beginning" here is the same one which John speaks of in his letter: "We know him who was from the beginning." He is referring to the beginning of the church, when the disciples saw Jesus, touched him and handled him. From the risen life of Jesus flows the new life of the church. That is what Paul teaches so clearly in 2 Corinthians 5: "If anyone be in Christ he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, all things have become new."  Remember, "He who knew no sin was made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
This should remind us of that simple, often misunderstood parable, that our Lord told among several others, in Matthew 13. He says, "The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Unfortunately, that parable has been interpreted to mean that Jesus is the pearl of great price, and that when we see what a valuable person he is we will sell all we have and buy him. But that is entirely contrary to every other teaching of Scripture. We do not buy God. We cannot purchase him or purchase our salvation in any sense. We have nothing to offer him! We must come, as the old hymn puts it, "Nothing in my hand I bring,/Simply to thy cross I cling." No, it is Jesus who is the merchant looking for a fine pearl. And he finds one: it is the church! For it, "he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
This is most instructive if you remember how a pearl is made. A pearl, you know, starts out as an irritatedoyster! A grain of sand gets under the oyster's shell. To the oyster that feels like crackers in bed do to us. It is very uncomfortable, and the oyster sets about getting rid of it. What it does is to cover the irritating grain of sand with a beautiful nacre that hardens into a lustrous and gorgeous pearl. That is how the church was born. It emerges from the wounded side of Jesus. It was the irritation that we represent by our sinful lives that put him to death, and he covers it over and heals it, making it into a beautiful pearl of great value. That is the church. That is what Paul is describing here: Jesus himself is the beginning of the church.
Then, secondly, Paul says, Jesus is "the firstborn from among the dead." Many take that to mean he is the first one ever to be resurrected. That is certainly true. The resurrection of Jesus is the only resurrection that has ever occurred on this earth. Lazarus, and all the others who came back from the dead, were simply resuscitated: they came back to the same life they had left. We may even feel a bit sorry for them because they had to come back to take it up again. But Jesus was truly resurrected. He was given a glorified life: he came from the grave at a far higher level than he went in. He returned in a glorified body, subject to different laws and governed by different principles. But that is not what is meant here. That is what Paul calls "the first-fruits of them that slept." But here "firstborn" means what it does in verse 15. We have already seen that it means the owner, the possessor, of the old creation. Here then it means the owner, possessor, of the new creation. He is the One who alone possesses the resurrection life that he gives to each of us. That is what John is saying in his first letter, in chapter 5, verse 11: "This is the testimony: God has given us eternal life [deathless life, resurrection life], and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life." He may be moral, he may be a nice person, but he does not yet possess the life of eternity, the resurrection life of Jesus, because that life comes from Jesus alone.
Now it is a clear biblical fact that Christians who have received Christ and been born into the new creation have this life. That is the reason they can no longer excuse themselves for wrong behavior by saying, "Well, after all, I'm only human." It is true you are human yet in the body, in the flesh, and that is why you are tempted, but because you also have a new life it means you do not need to yield to that temptation; there is now a new power within.
I feel constrained to get this across to people. When you become a Christian you have a new source of power which the world knows nothing about. Therefore, you are expected to live at a different, higher level. And you can. You cannot excuse yourself by saying, "I'm only human." True, that is why temptations come, but God has given us an ability to say no to these and to say yes to the power of Christ. We will not feel powerful---we are never expected to---but we have the power to say no; that is what the new creation is all about.
Thus, because our Lord is Master of the old creation (the old, material universe all around us)---and also master of a whole new humanity that is now coming into being, Paul goes on to say that he is both firstborn of the old and firstborn of the new "in order that he might have the supremacy." There is nothing left out of his control. One of the old Christmas carols captures this beautifully,
King of kings yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human nature,
In the body and the blood.
He will give to all the faithful,
His own self for heavenly food.
That is the difference that being a Christian makes: we have Christ himself dwelling in us, and that enables us to be more than we once were. Paul now turns from our Lord's position as Head of the body to his work as the reconciler of all things.
"For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
Notice how carefully the apostle links together the reconciling work of Christ and his deity. Jesus had to be God to do what he did! At the Chicago Conference on Biblical Application which I mentioned last week I was thrilled to hear Dr. Bruce Waltke make an impassioned plea that we who are working with these great themes of Scripture find some way to reduce these theological statements to contemporary terms, because, as he put it, "the world is lost without a sense of God. Men and women everywhere desperately need to know that there is Someone in charge of life, and that there is a Source to whom they can turn for help and for deliverance. The world needs to know that Jesus Christ is God." He made the statement personal with these words, "If Jesus is not God, then I do not have a Savior." That is surely true. If Jesus is not God there is no bridge that can span the chasm between God and man.
This is why Christianity is often offensive to people of other faiths. They say, "Why can't you recognize that all religions have leaders who can lead us into truth? Why do you claim that Jesus is different and above all the others?" That is often called "the scandal of exclusivity," the exclusive claim that only one religious founder is both God and man. As C. S. Lewis well states, If you had gone to Buddha and asked him, "Are you the Son of Brahma?," he would have said, "My son, you are still in the vale of illusion."  he would have laughed at you.   If you had asked Confucius, "Are you Heaven?" I think he would have probably replied, "Remarks which are not in accordance with nature are in bad taste."
There is only One who claims that he is both God and man. This explains the name which the shepherds whispered when they came into the stable after the angels' announcement. They knelt in awe before the Babe lying there and breathed the one word, "Immanuel" (God with us). He is the reason for the season! I want to tell you it makes me angry to see the commercialization of Christmas. All this flim-flam about trees, and presents, and Santa Claus tends to obscure this marvelous truth: that Baby was "God reduced to a span/Incomprehensibly a man" and he is the only hope we have out of the mess we find ourselves in. That is the glory of Christmas.
But because Jesus is both God and man he is able to bridge the gap, "to reconcile to himself all things." This verse has been used as a proof text to substantiate the idea of universal salvation; that ultimately every person and every being is going to be redeemed. Even the devil and his angels (this concept maintains), and even the wickedest of men such as Hitler and Stalin and those who are far worse because of spiritual evil are someday going to be redeemed. There may be a temporary punishment, but eventually everything in the universe will be restored to God, and there will be no hell and no eternal judgment. That is the teaching of universalism.
It is true that the word "reconcile" upon which this whole teaching hangs, does mean salvation in the case of those who believe. It is used in that sense in the very next verses, where Paul goes on to say,
"Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation."
That is clearly salvation in its fullest degree. But "reconcile" often means things other than salvation. This is where we must be very careful. Heresy can creep in at places where we do not expect it. It is wrong to take a single meaning of a word and press it everywhere as its only meaning.
If you look elsewhere in Scripture you will find that "reconcile" is broader than salvation. In Ephesians 2, for instance, Paul uses it of the healing of hostility between Jew and Gentile. He says Jesus has come "and broken down the middle wall of partition and reconciled Jew and Gentile in one body," by which he means the hostility is ended. Not that every Jew and every Gentile will be saved, but they will be able to live in harmony; that is his point. In 1 Corinthians 7, the apostle says that husbands and wives are to be "reconciled" to one another. There may be some husbands and wives here who need to have their hostility end and begin to live together in peace. Parents and children need reconciling at times. Friends often need it. Christmas is a time when reconciliation between estranged family members takes place more than it does at other times of the year. The basic meaning of this word is "to remove all impediments to peace" so that harmony prevails.
What does it mean, then, that Jesus shall "reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven"? It means a day is coming when the hostility of evil against righteousness will be brought to a sudden halt. Evil men and angels will find themselves unable to function in their enmity against God. They will be subdued, and will cease their rebellion. It does not mean their punishment ends; it is their active hostility that will cease. Then, at last, the terrible question that every one of us has asked at times, "Why does God permit evil?" will be answered. There is coming a day, according to this verse, when all will be explained to us: Why do the good suffer? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why does injustice reign triumphant at times? Why are innocent children raped, tortured, and killed, or ruined in mind and body by drugs or molestation? Why were six million Jews gassed to death in Germany? Why were millions of others elsewhere shot, speared, drowned, burned or hanged by the tyrants of history? Why?
We have all asked these questions. Why do accidents occur, ruining our joys? Why does insanity rage in so many? At last this question is to be answered. At last we will learn why it was necessary to allow evil. Then we will see it was part of the working out of God's program. Every hurt will be resolved, every tear will be wiped away, every pain will be relieved. At last the whole universe will live in peace and harmony with one another. "Nothing shall hurt or destroy in all God's holy mountain." Read the great promises of Isaiah in this regard.  That is what this declares. Surely this is what Paul is describing in that great passage in Philippians. An hour is coming when "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." That is where history is headed.
The marvelous thing about this is that it flows out of the death of Jesus on the cross. It is the cross that has brought this to pass. That is why it has been the central symbol of Christian faith since the very beginning. We put crosses up in our sanctuaries, not to make us think that the cross was a beautiful piece of wood, for it was a dirty, bloody, rugged means of death. But out of that death has flowed life to all the universe. That is what this is telling us. We find it described very clearly in chapter two of this letter, in the words, "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross" (2:15). It is the cross that is the center of all life.
Christians should never allow themselves to forget that wonderful scene recorded in the book of Revelation, where John is caught up into glory and sees the end of history, the end of all human affairs. Here is how he describes it:
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they said: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!" The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.
That is what Christmas initiates: it is the beginning of the great process that shall end in the perfect harmony of all creation. We are privileged to have a part in proclaiming this good news right now, and in our hearts to give honor and glory to the Lord Jesus, even before the rest of creation joins in the song. Revelation closes with this reminder:
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life... He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all God's people. Amen. (Rev. 22:17ff)
