I'm always asked "What's the best part of fame?" Here's a story that answers that.. Last week on our last day of shooting #ballers, my security came over and said "There's a few officers who've worked for us all day and would love the chance to meet you. One of them has a personal story to tell you." I said I'd love to meet them and walked over to say hello. I shook hands with both men, took pictures and they graciously said goodbye. As I was walking away, I realized I didn't get the personal story. So I called back to one of the officers and said "I heard you had a sorry for me?" He was surprised and turned around and called for him and said "Sure Mr. Johnson". He told me in 2008 when I was taking my mom to get her weekly chemotherapy and radiation cancer treatments, he was taking his dad, Jesus Arias at the same time – who had been diagnosed with the same cancer as my mom. He said, "You won't remember this but we walked into the hospital at the same time and you turned around, smiled and held the door open for my dad… and you have no idea what that moment meant to him. And me." Officer Arias shared with me that he'd been waiting years to tell me that on that day, after I shook his dad's hand and told him to stay strong, that his dad felt no pain that day. And was once again was a happy man and pain free. Even if just for one day. Jesus Arias passed away from cancer later that year, but his life continues to tell an inspiring story. I'm always asked "What's the best part of fame?" Hands down, it's moments like this. Y'all take care of each other and your families. Remember it's often the littlest things we do in life that can make the BIGGEST difference. And Officer @Rarias23 thank you for sharing your dad's story with me. And now the world. ~ DJ #BestPartOfFame
Via the Huffington Post:
Little did "The Rock" know, but his simple yet thoughtful gesture years ago had a tremendous effect on a man and his late father.
Dwayne Johnson recently shared a photo on his social media accounts of himself, posing with Officer Richard Arias while filming his HBO series "Ballers."
In the post, he explained that the officer had told him about an encounter the two had at a hospital, back in 2008. At the time, Johnson's mother, Ata, was battling lung cancer, and Arias' father, Jesus, was as well. The Rock had smiled and held the door open for Jesus—an act that spoke volumes to the man.
"'You have no idea what that moment meant to him. And me,'" the Rock wrote, recalling what Arias said to him.
According to the post, the actor was approached by his security, who told him about officers who wanted to meet him—including one who had a personal story to share. After taking photos with them, the Rock spoke with Arias and discovered that he and the officer were taking their parents to weekly treatments at the same time. Though, sadly, Jesus died last year, and it'd been years since the incident, Arias had meaning to address it.

A report by The New York Times has revealed Doha's terrorist and extremist activities in Somalia, the UAE's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash, said on Tuesday.
The newspaper obtained evidence concerning a car bombing in Bosaso, Somalia, which took place in May, that suggested the attack was aimed at deepening Qatar's footprint in the country and undermining the commercial interests of the UAE.
"It is unfortunate that Qatar is using terrorism against the UAE, this affirms the actions of the four countries," Gargash said.

Overall Product Rankings
An Overview On Sit To Stand Toys
Watching your little one take their first steps is one of the most exciting milestones of parenthood. However, babies don't just get up and start walking one day. They start by sitting up on their own, then crawling around, then pulling up to stand. Once they have stabilized their footing, they begin to figure out how to put one foot in front of the other. Sit to stand toys are a great way to help your baby take their first few steps while keeping them entertained at their different developmental stages.
A sit to stand toy is designed to engage your baby while they sitting or standing. The toy can be used while your child is just learning how to sit up, when they are getting their footing and when they are motoring around the house. It's a versatile toy with a long life-span because it's designed to appeal to your baby for an extended period of time.
There are many benefits of having sit to stand toys for your baby to play with. One of their greatest advantages is that they help to build gross motor skills. Sit to stand toys have a stable base and legs, so they are great for kids who are just learning to balance and build strength. Babies can pull up on the sit to stand toy and hold on to it while they stand or walk around. With a little bit of practice, babies will be able to stand without holding on to the toy.
Plus, sit to stand toys are often self-contained entertainment centers. They are brightly colored with lots of different sections to grab your baby's attention. Many also have flashing lights and fun sounds, so babies enjoy interacting with them. There are many tactile and moving pieces for babies to explore while they learn to sit, stand and walk.
DWYM Fun Fact
Sit to stand toys provide your baby with a sense of independence because they can stand up and walk around on their own. However, there are a number of safety precautions parents should always take when using sit to stand toys. Never leave your baby unattended when they are playing with a sit to stand toy. They may be able to walk faster than you can imagine and get into trouble. If there are stairs in your home, be sure that your baby cannot access them while using the sit to stand toy. For stationary sit to stand toys, ensure there is a soft place for baby to land if they topple over while playing with the toy.
The Sit To Stand Toy Buying Guide
- The most important element to look for when you're buying a sit to stand toy is safety. Above all, the toy must be strong and stable in order to support your baby while they pull up to stand and walk. If the base is flimsy or if the wheels are loose, your baby could have a fall. If the sit to stand toy has wheels, ensure that they can be locked or slowed down. This is particularly important for babies who are just learning to stand and walk as they cannot keep up with the toy at full speed.
- Be sure that the sit to stand toy will appeal to your baby for several months or years. This means that the activities attached to the sit to stand toy need to be engaging and inviting for babies of different developmental stages. Plus, the toy itself needs to be in a position for sitters, crawlers, standers and walkers to enjoy. In some cases, the activity plate can be removed and placed on the floor for babies to play with. This is great for young ones who are not fully sitting up yet.
- The tactile appeal of sit to stand toys is important to take into consideration. Make sure there is a variety of things to interest your little one. For example, are there buttons, dials and levers? Are there hard, smooth and bumpy surfaces? Does the toy play songs you and your baby love? Having lights and sounds is also a bonus.
- It's always a good opportunity to teach your baby new words and skills. Does the toy provide an opportunity for learning numbers, colors and shapes, for example? Can you sing songs along to the music? These are important elements to look at when you're searching for a sit to stand toy.

Century City has launched its long awaited Drop Off & Go recycling facility as part of the implementation of its Integrated Waste Management Plan aimed at reducing the precinct's carbon footprint.
The facility houses four separate igloos for glass, tin, paper and plastic respectively enabling the Century City community to drop off and separate their waste for recycling.
Serviced by Waste Plan, Century City's preferred waste service provider, the recycling facility is situated at the Century Avenue Public Transport Interchange. Its launch follows the success of pilot recycling projects at the CCPOA offices and depots and at six buildings in Central Park – the Pavillion, Amazing Vouchers office block, the Dermatology Centre, Teneo House as well as The Clubhouse and the Endeavour Creche.
Alan Liebenberg, Century City's Environmental Manager, said on average over 80% of litter collected by the CCPOA was being recycled and currently just over 60% of Central Park's waste.
As an incentive to these property owners Waste Plan charges just R12 to take away the contents of recyclable bins against R22 for general waste.
Waste Plan is also offering other companies in Century City the same rate as an incentive to join the recycling revolution.
To get involved contact Virgil Brent of Waste Plan on 0861116699 or Alan Liebenberg on 021 5526889.

Heroes and history
Although taking on the dimensions of a rote exercise by now, Malacañang's issuance of an official statement last Aug. 21 honoring Ninoy Aquino on the 34th year of his assassination and reminding the nation of his heroic place in the people's fight for freedom, was commendable.
A bit of a surprise, in fact, given the general antipathy that has been directed at the Aquinos' legacy by certain forces identified with President Duterte, who ran and won on a platform of change that promised a radical break from the conventions of the liberal democracy established after the Aquino-led People Power revolution of 1986.
But there it was — Mr. Duterte's signature on words that unreservedly paid tribute to the opposition figure killed at high noon at the Manila International Airport tarmac — a brazen act of murder that would mark the beginning of the end of the Marcos dictatorship.
"Throughout his career," the statement read, "[Ninoy] fought for what is right and just. Up until the very end of his life, he inspired a peaceful revolution that resulted in the liberties we enjoy today… His deeds have taught us that we should always aspire for the common good — even if one must go against the grain — and do what is necessary."
Still, for what was a straightforward act of remembering a great Filipino's sacrifice, a major counternarrative was mounted on social media in an apparent attempt to disparage Aquino's memory.
A virtual flood of postings, suspicious for the similarity in tone, advanced a common argument: What exactly had Ninoy done? He was supposedly no hero, but a troublemaker whose very rabble-rousing forced Ferdinand Marcos to declare martial law; why even bother to remember him with laudatory words, much less a holiday? His so-called legacy — freedom and democracy after the toppling of the dictatorship — made life only worse for the Filipino, hence the "correction" now being done under the Duterte dispensation.
The abysmal ignorance of that position is one thing; the sheer vitriol that often accompanied its explication hinted at another methodical, deliberate campaign to further twist and muddle history, despite the trove of easily available evidence and testimony attesting to what really happened during the dark Marcos years.
And this is the worrying part: The revisionism appears to be working especially on the young, many of whom are wont to unthinkingly pine for a supposed "golden age" under the Marcos dictatorship — one with no traffic, no crime, no drug addicts, and no rallies.
The shadowy fabricators of this alternate history appear to have found their perfect targets — people with no memory at all of the struggles of those who came before them, whose blood and sacrifice helped rebuild the democratic space that is used so irresponsibly and sullied so wantonly today.
When Aquilino "Nene" Pimentel Jr., one of the last lions of the freedom movement, spoke a few days ago against the rash of extrajudicial killings under Mr. Duterte's watch, he was likewise mercilessly mocked online, derided as old, out of touch and ready to be put to pasture.
Disrespecting elderly statesmen in this way reflects an insidious mindset that can only thrive in an environment of gross historical amnesia — the same lethal strain of forgetfulness that renders many Filipinos oblivious to, and unable to care about, the country's heroic breed: its World War II veterans and martial law activists, for instance, as well as the men and women of our time who toil unheralded in the frontiers of social work, education, agriculture, etc.
But perhaps the Philippines is merely reaping the whirlwind of its own casual indifference toward learning from its past. The administrations after Edsa 1986 seem to have failed in teaching history right, and the larger society, too, must bear part of the blame for forgetting and forgiving too soon.
That collective memory gap is turning out to be far more dangerous and consequential than benign forgetfulness; now Philippine history, and its critical examples of heroism and patriotism, are under assault as well.

The wonderful varietal aroma immediately noticeable while the blend of Coonawarra & McLaren Vale brings out the best in this Cabernet showing leafy mint, violets, leather, black olive, cedar and menthol with toasty vanilla.

After talking with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the sidelines of an international summit in Vienna on Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said North Korea is ready for direct talks and Russia is willing to help the two nations enter diplomatic discussions in order to decrease rising nuclear tensions and the threat of war.
"We spoke about the situation on the Korean peninsula," Lavrov, told TASS, a Russian news agency, about his talks with Tillerson. "Our position on this matter is unchanged. We are confident that it the vicious spiral of confrontation and provocations must be stopped."
"We know that North Korea wants first of all to speak with the United States about its security guarantees," he added. "We are ready to support it. We are ready to help promote such talks."
The State Department, however, seems unlikely to pursue the offer, and the department's spokeswoman, Heather Nauert, told Reuters that direct talks with North Korea were "not on the table until they are willing to denuclearize."
"It is something that Russia says it agrees with; it is something China has said it agrees with, and many other nations around the world as well," Nauert claimed, adding that North Korea was "not showing any interest in sitting down and having any kind of serious conversations when they continue to fire off ballistic missiles."
A spokesperson for Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized the costs of war, and told Reuters: "We hope all relevant parties can maintain calm and restraint and take steps to alleviate tensions and not provoke each other.... The outbreak of war is not in any side's interest. The ones that will suffer the most are ordinary people."
Never Miss a Beat.

These comments come as peace advocates continue to say that a diplomatic settlement through direct talks is the only way to resolve the volatile situation, and as one U.S. lawmaker expressed worries this week that too few realize just "how close we are to this war."
"I think that the president is playing to a segment of the population and, I think, relying on the fact that most Americans don't realize how close we are to this war," said Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an Iraq War veteran, in an interview with Vox published Thursday. "Look: I'm not someone who's going to avoid war at all costs. That's not me. But I want the American people to know what this will cost."
Duckworth—who lost both her legs when her Black Hawk helicopter was downed in Iraq—recalls how the Bush administration was "selling a lie" ahead of the invasion of Iraq, and warns that "we don't have the troops in the region, on the ground, to do what would need to be done to fully contain [North Korea's] nuclear capabilities," but "just ramping up—prepositioning troops, stocks, and logistics in a place where we could do it—could prompt the North Koreans to do something."
The United States continues to conduct joint military exercises with South Korean forces over the Korean peninsula, despite warnings from the North Koreans that the drills are perceived as provocations of war, as Common Dreams reported Wednesday.
"The large-scale nuclear war exercises conducted by the U.S. in succession are creating touch-and-go situation on the Korean peninsula, and series of violent war remarks coming from the U.S. high-level politicians amid such circumstances have made an outbreak of war on the Korean peninsula an established fact," a North Korean spokesperson said this week. "The remaining question now is: when will the war break out."

The genesis and evolution of the Ghana Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programme (GFELTP) is closely linked with the establishment and development of the School of Public Health at the University of Ghana in 1994. By 2002 it was realized that there was the need to develop a core of specialists in the public health work force with competencies and skills in applied epidemiology and disease control, hence, the establishment of the GFELTP in October 2007.
The GFELTP is a competency based and currently runs the Advanced, Intermediate and Frontline levels of training in Ghana. It evolved from an initial collaboration with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through cooperative agreements with the University of Ghana, School of Public Health and Ghana Health Service. The programme has evolved into a sub-regional resource centre for training Field Epidemiologists from English speaking West African countries (except Nigeria). The GFELTP is a founding member of the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET) which is headquartered in Kampala, Uganda.
- To strengthen public health capacity by developing a cadre of health professionals with advanced skills in applied epidemiology and Laboratory management
- To contribute to research activities on priorities on public health problems
- To improve national capacity to respond to public health emergencies such as disease outbreaks, natural disasters and other unusual public health events including those that could be a result of chemical or biological terrorism
- Strengthen national surveillance systems through a team approach (physician, laboratorian and veterinarian)
- Improve communications and networking of public health practitioners and researchers in the country and throughout the region
- Over 120 disease outbreak investigations have been conducted by the GFELTP residents and alumni since its inception in 2007. Examples of outbreaks investigated include: meningitis, influenza A, human rabies, food-borne diseases, measles, gastrointestinal diseases, yellow fever, pertussis and cholera.
- Residents have done 140 Surveillance System Evaluation in the country. Evaluation included both communicable and non-communicable diseases for the regions.
- Residents have analyzed 117 data set of selected diseases in the country
- Residents and alumni of the GFELTP have made a total of 249 oral and poster presentations at various conferences organized by the Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET) and African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET).
- The programme has graduated 88 out of 100 residents from cohorts 1 to 10 in its advanced programme
- Over 370 frontline health workers have been trained in all the various regions in the country.
- The GFELTP organized its first Scientific Conference and 10th Anniversary in September 2017.
- The GFELTP in 2016 published its first supplement titled "Strengthening Surveillance, Outbreak Investigation and Response: The Role of Ghana FELTP" in the Pan African Medical Journal. The supplement has 18 articles made up of projects conducted by residents and alumni.
- The GFELTP is the hub for training the English Speaking West Africa (with the exception of Nigeria) such as Liberia, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, Guinea Bissau and Ghana.
- To foster and strengthen collaboration between the Field Epidemiology Training Programmes in the Anglophone and Francophone West Africa, the GFELTP hosted residents of the Burkina Faso Field Epidemiology Training Programme (BFETP) for an exchange programme at the School of Public Health, University of Ghana in the first quarter of the year 2019. Residents of the GFELTP will also visit the BFETP in their next academic year.
- The GFELTP with the support of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health has introduced the Chemical Preparedness Module into its Advanced Programme.

Global resources giant BHP Billiton's chairperson, Don Argus, said on Thursday that as a standalone company BHP Billiton is in a strong financial and operating position.
"We believe we are better placed than our competitors in these challenging times to respond to the fluctuating demand for our products," he said.
Referring to the decision not to proceed with the acquisition of Rio Tinto, Argus said it was a difficult decision but one he believes is right for BHP Billiton shareholders.
Argus added that BHP Billiton has a portfolio of long-life, low-cost, expandable, tier-one assets.
"As a result of this portfolio, and low-cost position, BHP Billiton's margins are the highest among the industry and in these difficult times, we expect to outperform our peers," he said.
It also has a very strong balance sheet, with a net debt level of just $6,3-billion on 31 October 2008 against a market capitalisation of around $115-billion, as well as robust cash flows to support investments through the commodity cycle, he noted.
"These two elements give us the flexibility in these volatile times to respond to any changes in business activity as considered necessary by your management team and board, and we can continue to invest for future growth in shareholder value," he said.
Argus added that for now, in developing its projects, the group's emphasis is on lower risk brown-field expansions "in areas we know", rather than start-up projects in new geographies.
"Our recent announcement of an investment of $4,8-billion in Western Australian Iron Ore to increase our tonnes to 205 million per annum by 2011 is evidence of this confidence in the future and our on-going investment in brown-field sites in known geographies."
He said that there is no doubt that these are challenging times "for all of us".
"Uncertainty in the world's commodity markets remains particularly high in the short-term, and we do not expect to be immune from these changes. However, we have excellent customer relationships and so far we have been able to substantially maintain our sales volumes through a combination of our normal long-term contract and spot business.
"If these uncertain conditions persist and significant production cuts become necessary, or any of our operations are cash negative and are set to remain so, we will respond accordingly and advise shareholders and the market," he said.
In conclusion Argus said BHP Billiton is very well placed for the current environment.
"Our priorities for cash flows remain to invest in core businesses, manage our balance sheet to a solid single A credit rating, maintain our progressive dividend policy and return any surplus cash to shareholders.
"You have a first-class senior management team led by our chief executive officer Marius Kloppers. They are disciplined and focused on the pursuit of shareholder value and on your behalf I thank them for their leadership and excellent stewardship of BHP Billiton over the past year," he said. — I-Net Bridge

Founded in London in the mid-1970s by six members of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, the members of the Designer Jewellers Group (DJG) met at a conference to respond to an approach from the organisers of the London Fashion Collections – to display the work of contemporary jewellery makers alongside the 1976 Fashion Show at the Inn on the Park, Park Lane.
The key requirement for a jeweller wishing to join the DJG is a distinctive style. The original remit of the group was to distinguish art jewellery from fashion. The DJG now exhibits twice a year at the Barbican Centre and the latest collection, on show as part of the Centre's summer exhibitions, unveils work dedicated to highly considered material mixes. The results are unorthodox and innovative, utilising hardwoods, Perspex, polypropylene and textiles, among other unexpected materials. Here is our pick of the best in show …
'Designer Jewellers Group' is on view until 30 June. For more information, visit the Barbican's website

Handy work: the Barbican celebrates contemporary British jewellers
Founded in London in the mid-1970s by six members of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, the members of the Designer Jewellers Group (DJG) met at a conference to respond to an approach from the organisers of the London Fashion Collections – to display the work of contemporary jewellery makers alongside the 1976 Fashion Show at the Inn on the Park, Park Lane.
Shelby Fitzpatrick: Shelby Fitzpatrick's laser-cut Perspex pieces are brilliantly vivid. 'Designing jewellery using Perspex offers a chance to utilise varied surface effects – smooth or frosted, say – creating interlocking planes and textures,' says the designer of her preferred material. Varying sizes and combinations of geometric forms generate an infinite fusion of colour and shape
Li-Chu Wu: The possibilities of paper inform Li-Chu Wu's pieces, which use multiple layers to create subtle movements in form. When interlaced with silver and created using metalsmithing techniques, the results are rich and tactile, including rings, necklaces and bangles. It is the quotidian nature of her material that Wu finds particularly engaging: 'The most humble, ordinary material can show its own charm through a designer's creation,' she says. 'When we focus on the purity of it, it can be extraordinary'
Emma Farquharson: 'I want to create a subtle symmetry out of the frisson between the poetic design of the natural world and the chaos of urban living,' explains Emma Farquaharson, who developed the natural geometric shapes she saw in nature to create simple patterns in silver and gold. Farquaharson fuses traditional techniques with modern methods, frequently working with metal and carved wax forms to create distinct outlines
Ute Sanne: Ute Sanne's 'Karfunkel' bangle (pictured) is the jeweller's twisted take on Rumpelstiltskin, the Grimm fairytale in which a miller lies that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Long, delicate layers of straw form an architectural arch, held together by a sliver of gold, while an oval ruby nestles inside. Sanne delights in the theatricality of it: 'Jewellery should always harbour a little secret and not reveal all at first glance,' she says
Black Lune: Belgian designer Jelka Quintelier is the founder of Black Lune, designing laser and hand-cut rubber jewellery and accessories, and sometimes interior installations. Distorting the idea of traditional ornamentation, Quintelier is inspired by architectural motifs. As such, she replicates the tough, durable nature of the material into bold statement jewels

A Brief History of the Jewish Bible
History and archeology are today scientific in approach and give us a right and a duty to question and correct the plain errors in ancient screeds like the compilation of them called the bible. The first thing we have to do is to stop using the bible's own chronology. It is part of its aim of exaggerating its own antiquity, a failing common to the history of most nations, certainly in ancient times. Nothing in the bible is anything other than myth up until the appearance of Omri. Besides Adam and Eve, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon are all mythical people. It means Moses could not have written even the Torah (Pentateuch), as is evident from a reading of it.
After Omri some known kings are mentioned, so the chroniclers knew about them, but they will have known from the records kept by some major state because small insignificant states were mostly illiterate and had no reason for keeping elaborate records. In fact, the historical evidence for the state called Judah barely exists, at least until a few decades before it was wiped out. It seems likely that Judah was an Assyrian puppet carved out as a rump of Israel around the time the Assyrians annexed Samaria. Only the last few kings of Judah seem authentic, and Josiah, the famous reforming king seems to have been an invention to justify the change of worship in Judah from the familiar Canaanite mythos to a new one introduced by a conqueror.
Who then could have made this change and when? Well, if the bible existed in anything like its present form in the fifth century BC, Herodotus could never have been called the father of history, because the bible presents itself as a detailed history right back into the bronze age. The sixth century is when Cyrus took over the neo Babylonian empire which included Judah. The bible itself regards Cyrus as the messiah of the Jews because he "allowed them to return". In fact no "return" happened before the fifth century in the time of Darius II, when the Persian empire was largely based in Babylon, and it is then when people were deported into Judah with the cover of being themselves former inhabitants of the country, the "Exiles".
Not until this time, around 400 BC, did the bible start to be compiled, and it was not written in its present form until the Egyptian Ptolemies commissioned it in the third century. That is when we first begin to read in historical records that the bible existed.
From a posted comment to Jason Rosenhouse's EvolutionBlog at Science Blogs.

Christians believe that their god is omniscient, but isn't it curious how many Christians think their god's presumed omniscience transfers to them? Alan Giles can tell I have "a deep hatred" of the bible, evidently failing to see that it is not a book of ancient myths that I hate, but history — proper history, that is — that I love. So what I hate is that believers in an ancient book accept its own claims as history, even though a good deal of it plainly is not, when the claims are compared with known facts of history, as the post above shows. People like Alan Giles can believe what they like, but when they claim their beliefs are historical, they betray themselves as malicious liars. It is malicious liars that I hate.
The Bible's predictions alone will do to prove it authenticity. Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans. Amos predicted that the Jews scattered all over the world would be brought back to Israel.
" I will bring my people Israel back from captivity; they will build their ruined cities again, and they will live in them; they will plant gardens and eat their fruit.
I will plant my people on their land, and they will not be pulled out again from the land which I have given them," says the Lord God. Amos 9:14-15.
Nazi Hitler wanted to wipe out the Jews. But God, as predicted in Amos, brought the Jews back to Israel, and now they have a country of their own.
Now God has promised that "they will not be pulled out from the land which I have given them." So all the attempts of Ahmenidijad of Iran, Hassan Nazerullah of Hizbullah and even Obama will end in failure. God will never allow them to be pulled out.
So how true is the Bible. No other religion, whether it is Shintoism or Hinduism or Islam or Buddhism has any reference to current world events.
A Yeshuratnam would do well to read a little more carefully and learn something other than the myths that surround ancient writings. The item was about the Jewish scriptures which do not include the New Testament, but citing the prophecies of Jesus is valuable. It shows how some prophecies recorded in the bible turn out to be true. They are written after the event! Jesus referred to the destruction of the Jerusalem temple which happened at the end of the Jewish War. The gospels were not written before then, so when they were written Jesus could prophecy the temple's destruction.
In the Jewish scriptures many ancient prophecies were just wrong. They never happened. Those that were were like the NT prophecy just mentioned, they were written after the event. The Jewish scriptures began to be written when Yehud was set up by the Persians as a temple state around 400 BC, an event called in the Jewish scriptures "The Return from Captivity". If A Yeshuratnam read the Old Testament he will find Amos 9:14-15 being fulfilled in the books called after Nehemiah and Ezra. To imagine it applies to the Zionist state of Israel just shows AY is a dupe. He should read the main AskWhy! website to learn something.
Hey yashwantram
Kindly read your Kerala and Indian history first. It will take a lifetime to understand that first. Once you are an expert on that you may jump into world affairs.
Quoting Wikipedia as you have done here and elsewhere shows your illiteracy and shallowness. You have had the temerity to create fake wiki pages by quoting your own thesis as reference. Are you ok mentally? Are you on medication?

Margot Weis Goldman, a Holocaust escapee who welcomed countless Denver Jews at the JCC for three decades, passed away Feb. 22, 2019, in Denver. Rabbi Bruce Dollin officiated at the Feb. 24 service at the HEA. Burial followed at Mt. Nebo Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
"Many will remember her greeting everyone as they arrived at the Denver JCC, where she worked for over 30 years," the family said. "Through her husband Jack, she was part of the extended Intermountain Jewish News family."
Margot Weis was born Feb. 23, 1931, in Mainz, Germany. Her father lost his meat business in 1933, the year Hitler came to power. Two-year-old Margot remained in Germany in the care of her grandparents while her parents resettled in France.
She joined them in Paris around the age of four.
In 1939, her father's uncle traveled from the US and sponsored the Weis family to go to America. They arrived in New York City in May, just before the end of the school year.
When she began school, Mrs. Goldman spoke German and French but not a word of English.
After spending the summer playing stickball and roller-skating with children on the streets of New York City, she was fluent in English when school resumed that fall.
She grew up in the German Jewish neighborhood of Washington Heights in Manhattan and graduated George Washington High School.
A year after moving to Denver in 1951, she met Jack J. Goldman, a Holocaust survivor who also took photographs for the IJN.
They were married at her parents' shul in New York on Nov. 22, 1952.
Mrs. Goldman was employed as the secretary at Hillel Academy, Beth Joseph and Denver's JCC.
A lifetime member of Hadassah, she chaired the organization's donor lunch and belonged to Rodef Shalom's Sisterhood while her children were still young.
Both the HEA and Bonai Shalom honored her at their annual dinners.
Mr. Goldman passed away in August, 2009.
Mrs. Goldman is survived by her four children Roxana (John) Dann, Tina (Yakov) Lehrer, Michelle Goldman and Robert (Rachael) Goldman; grandchildren Hanan Dann, Jessica Dann-Fogel and Ariana Dann, Yonah and Efrat Lehrer, and Samuel, Talya and Rami Goldman; and great-grandchildren Gaia and Doron Fogel.
She was predeceased by son Mark David Goldman on Dec. 19, 1962.
Contributions may be made to Halcyon Hospice, PO Box 117, Mead, CO 80542; or the HEA.

Surveillance video captures truck crashing into Washington home
All was quiet in Sam and Emily Papa's home early Saturday morning until around 2 a.m., when they were awakened by a loud bang.
It turned out to be a pickup truck crashing through their front fence and into their front porch on Locust Avenue in Washington.
VIDEO: Watch David Kaplan's latest report
According to a police report obtained by Pittsburgh's Action News 4, the driver of the truck was 24-year-old Justin McCullough. He was awaiting trial for a DUI charge stemming from an incident in August, according to court records.
In the Papas' home surveillance video, McCullough can be seen wildly taking a left-hand turn, jumping a curb and crashing into the front yard.
The video then shows the driver getting out, stumbling and trying to push the truck before getting back in and reversing out of the home.
"I didn't know if it was my kid falling out of bed. I didn't really know what it was," Emily Papa said of the original bang.
Sam went downstairs. As he walked out onto his front porch, he tripped, not realizing that it was so damaged.
As Sam Papa walked out, the truck was pulling away.
"I came outside and because the front porch was so damaged all the furniture was pressed in front of the door, so I threw the door open and stepped out and got caught up in all that furniture and had fallen," Papa said.
Charges for the driver are pending, but police officers that spoke to Pittsburgh's Action News 4 and the Papas said the officer on scene told them a severe charge, like another DUI, may not be brought forth.
Because McCullough came to police and told them he was the driver, according to the report, no sobriety test was taken at the crash scene that could definitively prove his state at the time of the accident.
Charges stemming from Saturday's incident haven't been filed, according to online court records.

The study by Sinha et al1 affirms that higher intake of red meat is related to increased general and cause-specific mortality. About this, some considerations must be made. First, the data were collected by means of a recall bias–subjected instrument and only 1 time a year in a middle-aged population in which all participants were in the overweight body mass index (BMI) range and had only slight differences (in absolute values) of total energy intake and white meat intake between the extreme quintiles (Q1 and Q5). Second, there was no record about personal history of cardiovascular disease or conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk like hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, nor the use of medications, and such factors were not included in the multivariate analysis. Third, the authors neither inform us whether the difference in saturated fat intake was significant between Q1 and Q5 nor include it in the multivariate analysis. Finally, those with higher red meat intake were more often sedentary smokers with higher BMI and higher caloric and fat intake.
Silva EODA, Marcadenti A. Higher Red Meat Intake May Be a Marker of Risk, Not a Risk Factor Itself. Arch Intern Med. 2009;169(16):1538–1539. doi:10.1001/archinternmed.2009.278

Our Racist Sexist Selves
Published: April 6, 2008 NY Times
To my horror, I turn out to be a racist.
The University of Chicago offers an on-line psychological test in which you encounter a series of 100 black or white men, holding either guns or cellphones. You're supposed to shoot the gunmen and holster your gun for the others.
I shot armed blacks in an average of 0.679 seconds, while I waited slightly longer — .694 seconds — to shoot armed whites. Conversely, I holstered my gun more quickly when encountering unarmed whites than unarmed blacks.
Take the test yourself and you'll probably find that you show bias as well. Most whites and many blacks are more quick to shoot blacks, no matter how egalitarian they profess to be.
Harvard has a similar battery of psychological tests online. These "implicit attitude tests" very cleverly show that a stunningly large proportion of people who honestly believe themselves to be egalitarian unconsciously associate good with white and bad with black.
The unconscious is playing a political role this year, for the evidence is overwhelming that most Americans have unconscious biases both against blacks and against women in executive roles.
At first glance, it may seem that Barack Obama would face a stronger impediment than Hillary Clinton. Experiments have shown that the brain categorizes people by race in less than 100 milliseconds (one-tenth of a second), about 50 milliseconds before determining sex. And evolutionary psychologists believe we're hard-wired to be suspicious of people outside our own group, to save our ancestors from blithely greeting enemy tribes of cave men. In contrast, there's no hard-wired hostility toward women, though men may have a hard-wired desire to control and impregnate them.
Yet racism may also be easier to override than sexism. For example, one experiment found it easy for whites to admire African-American doctors; they just mentally categorized them as "doctors" rather than as "blacks." Meanwhile, whites categorize black doctors whom they dislike as "blacks."
In another experiment, researchers put blacks and whites in sports jerseys as if they belonged to two basketball teams. People looking at the photos logged the players in their memories more by team than by race, recalling a player's jersey color but not necessarily his or her race. But only very rarely did people forget whether a player was male or female.
"We can make categorization by race go away, but we could never make gender categorization go away," said John Tooby, a scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who ran the experiment. Looking at the challenges that black and female candidates face in overcoming unconscious bias, he added, "Based on the underlying psychology and anthropology, I think it's more difficult for a woman, though not impossible."
Alice Eagly, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, agrees: "In general, gender trumps race. ... Race may be easier to overcome."
The challenge for women competing in politics or business is less misogyny than unconscious sexism: Americans don't hate women, but they do frequently stereotype them as warm and friendly, creating a mismatch with the stereotype we hold of leaders as tough and strong. So voters (women as well as men, though a bit less so) may feel that a female candidate is not the right person for the job because of biases they're not even aware of.
"I don't have to be conscious of this," said Nilanjana Dasgupta, a psychology professor at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. "All I think is that this person isn't a good fit for a tough leadership job."
Women now hold 55 percent of top jobs at American foundations but are still vastly underrepresented among political and corporate leaders — and one factor may be that those are seen as jobs requiring particular toughness. Our unconscious may feel more of a mismatch when a woman competes to be president or a C.E.O. than when she aims to lead a foundation or a university.
Women face a related challenge: Those viewed as tough and strong are also typically perceived as cold and unfeminine. Many experiments have found that women have trouble being perceived as both nice and competent.
"Clinton runs the risk of being seen as particularly cold, particularly uncaring, because she doesn't fit the mold," said Joshua Correll, a psychologist at the University of Chicago. "It probably is something a man doesn't deal with."
But biases are not immutable. Research subjects who were asked to think of a strong woman then showed less implicit bias about men and women. And students exposed to a large number of female professors also experienced a reduction in gender stereotypes.
So maybe the impact of this presidential contest won't be measured just in national policies, but also in progress in the deepest recesses of our own minds.

Interesting. I shot whites 1/1000 of a second faster than blacks. But two things I'd notice about that test--first, I used to shoot competitively, so I tend to fixate on their hand and don't even notice what color the "shooter" is half the time.
The other thing I noticed is the "shoot" button is my non-dominant hand, since I'm left-handed.
Finally, I'd like to see the images of the shooters and phone holders by themselves...I'm wondering if the blacks aren't posed more aggressively...
But maybe the answer is, to become less racist, you need take more shooting practice!!!!!

Not surprised that sexism trumps racism as the stronger and deeper bias. What I find humorous is that there are still studies that "discover" this finding. The most obvious example is the current Democratic presidential race. It's not about color at all; it's about gender. The media is doing an incredibly fine job of promoting that bias.
Here we go again and again and again...

Lady Patricia Douglas and Count John de Bendern are married at Brompton Oratory.
Short Summary
Titles read: "BROMPTON ORATORY".
Kensington, London.
Various shots of the crowd waiting outside Brompton Oratory in the rain to catch a glimpse of Lady Patricia Douglas (daughter of the Marquess of Queensbury) and Count John de Bendern (aka John de Forest) on their wedding day.
The bride arrives and goes into the church; her very long tulle train is unfolded by attendants. The newly-married couple appear after the service, get into their car and are driven off by 16 child attendants waving wands in farewell. Quick shots show that several people in the crowd have brought along their babies in prams.

Saint Innocent of Alaska,
Equal-to-the-Apostles and Enlightener of North America (+1879)
March 31
Our father among the saints Innocent of Alaska, Equal-to-the-Apostles and Enlightener of North America (1797-1879), was a Russian Orthodox priest, bishop, archbishop, and Metropolitan of Moscow and all Russia. He is known for his missionary work, scholarship, and leadership in Alaska and the Russian Far East during the 1800s. He is known for his great zeal for his work as well as his great abilities as a scholar, linguist, and administrator. He was a missionary, later a bishop and archbishop in Alaska and the Russian Far East. He learned several native languages and was the author of many of the earliest scholarly works about the natives and their languages, as well as dictionaries and religious works in these languages. He also translated parts of the Bible into several native languages.
St. Innocent, né Ivan (John) Evseyevich Popov-Veniaminov, was born on August 26, 1797, into the family of a church server in the village of Anginskoye, Verkholensk District, Irkutsk province, in Russia. His father died when John was six.
In 1807, John entered the Irkutsk Theological Seminary. In 1817 he married, and on May 18, 1817 he was ordained deacon of the Church of the Annunciation in Irkutsk. He completed his studies in 1818. He was appointed a teacher in a parish school, and on May 18, 1821 he was ordained priest to serve in the Church of the Annunciation.
At the beginning of 1823, Bishop Michael of Irkutsk received instructions to send a priest to the island of Unalaska in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Father John Veniaminov volunteered to go, and on May 7, 1823, he departed from Irkutsk, accompanied by his aging mother, his wife, his infant son Innocent, and his brother Stefan. After a difficult one-year journey, they arrived at Unalaska on July 29, 1824.
After John and his family built and moved into an earthen hut, he undertook the construction of Holy Ascension Church on the island and set about studying the local languages and dialects. He trained some of his parishioners in construction techniques and with them undertook the construction of a church, which was finished the following July.
Father John's parish included the island of Unalaska and the neighboring Fox Islands and Pribilof Islands, whose inhabitants had been converted to Christianity before his arrival, but retained many of their pagan ways and customs. Father John often traveled between the islands in a canoe, battling the stormy Gulf of Alaska.
His travels over the islands greatly enhanced Father John Veniaminov's familiarity with the local dialects. In a short time he mastered six of the dialects. He devised an alphabet of Cyrillic letters for the most widespread dialect, the Unagan dialect of Aleut and, in 1828, translated the Holy Gospel of Continue reading "Saint Innocent of Alaska, Equal-to-the-Apostles and Enlightener of North America (+1879) – March 31"

Jury renders verdict after 2 weeks of deliberations
By Cameron Miculka
TÃA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, August 5, 2014) – Chad DeSoto showed no emotion yesterday afternoon as Judge Anita Sukola read the jury's verdict: guilty on all counts of aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder.
The man, who killed three tourists last year during an attack in Tumon, faces 14 life sentences, plus an additional 350 years in prison.
He is scheduled to be sentenced 9 a.m. Sept. 25.
The verdict came after more than two weeks of deliberations by the jury that returned yesterday's verdict.
Deputy Attorney General Phillip Tydingco welcomed the verdict.
"This is a good day for justice in Guam," he said yesterday, following the reading of the verdict.
DeSoto was arrested following an attack in the heart of the island's tourism district, during which he drove his car into a crowd of tourists on the sidewalk near the SandCastle.

Governor holds first meeting after returning to territory
By Joyetter Feagaimaalii-Luamanu
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa (The Samoa News, August 4, 2014) – Governor Lolo Matalasi Moliga has tasked the Attorney General Talauega Eleasalo Ale and Homeland Security Director Utuali'i Iuniasolua to determine whether or not a disaster declaration for the damage caused by the recent flooding and landslides should be submitted to the federal government before the deadline is reached, which is 30 days after the disaster.
Lolo pointed out in his first official meeting after returning to the territory Friday night that the Administration has a disaster plan that should be followed during times like these. "The biggest question is what are we doing for our people?" he questioned.
Lolo said we have to be very specific while working on the declaration. The DHS Director noted that the families have been told to first take photos of their homes that are affected and then...
Simple solutions said to be effective at reducing infant mortality
MELBOURNE, Australia (Radio Australia, August 4, 2014) – An Australian aid organisation says simple equipment like drinking straws and plastic bottles can help reduce the high death rate among infants in Kiribati.
The Island Rescue Project aims to save i-Kiribati children by combating poor water sanitation.
It was founded in August last year, in response to the high infant death rate in Kiribati, with 1 in 20 babies failing to survive early childhood.
Founder Carol Armstrong says while governments and major aid groups are addressing the large-scale issues, there's also room for a more direct approach.
"We were working on a very personal level, and it was clear that there were still things that could be done," she said.
"We brought a different focus on empowering the people to do something for themselves, rather than just waiting for everyone else to do it for them.

Shenmue 3 is closer to reality than ever! Yu Suzuki and his development team revealed the first full trailer for the long-anticipated closer to the Shenmue trilogy today. Considering this story was left incomplete on the original XBox, it's been a substantial wait.
It's also been quite a wait since the initial reveal of Shenmue 3 over three years ago, during E3 2015. A record-breaking crowdfunding campaign raised over six million toward the project, sending a clear signal people wanted more. Since then the game has remained in closed-door development, with only the occasional screenshot being released.
But we not only got a trailer today, we have a solid release date! Suzuki thinks he can get Shenmue 3 out the door August 27, 2019 — almost precisely one year from now.
Sega most likely chose today to drop this trailer for a reason: it happens to be the release day for Shenmue I and II on the Playstation 4 and XBox One. A year is a long time to wait (and we wouldn't be surprised to be hit with another delay), but you can get your Shenmue-related kicks on now, without digging out the Dreamcast….and if you don't remember everything that happened in the first two, it's new to you!
For the time being, Shenmue 3 is scheduled to be released August 27, 2019. Sure hope it's good, for I have literally already bought my copy.
