There's no denying that breakfast is big business. We've just seen fashion designer Anya Hindmarch give Kellogg's Tony the Tiger a grrreat makeover and Shoreditch is awaiting the launch of its first Cereal Killer Café next month.
So, it's no surprise that celebrities are chewing their right arms off to be associated with the most important meal of the day – becoming part of everyone's morning routine in the process. And, the king of R&B, Usher, is no exception.
He's partnered with Cheerios and Walmart in the US to give away his latest track – Clueless – with every box of Honey Nut Cheerios.
Just add milk
On the outside looking in, this brand partnership doesn't seem to make any sense. 36-year old Usher, who has come a long way from his You Make Me Wanna days, doesn't fit Cheerios' target market – a cereal championed by a bee called Buzz.
But, once you've swallowed this fact and digested the promotional video that accompanies the PR and marketing stunt (don't knock it before you've tried it – it's already secured 820,000+ views), it becomes the entire reason why Usher has taken this on.
With super fans downloading One Direction and Justin Bieber tracks left, right and centre, how does an 'experienced' singer steal back sales and kudos? By ending up in the hands of millions of young digital eagles across the country, giving them a unique code to download a fresh track of course!
No added sugar
Essentially, it's a win-win situation. Usher gets the downloads he needs ahead of an upcoming album launch and Cheerios gets to negotiate premium shelf space with Walmart, while producing some crunchy content for its communications channels.
But, how could this partnership develop in the long-term?
Free gift inside
Some ways that Cheerios could maximise its partnership with Usher include subtle branding in his next video; utilising his 9m+ followers by hosting a Twitter takeover and running a competition to meet the star himself; or creating a series of educational videos on the importance of breakfast with Usher's children, linking in with Cheerios' Family Breakfast Project.
So, it's a good start, but there's lots more Cheerios could be doing to transform this fleeting stunt into a considered campaign.
What do you think?

World's Deadliest Weapons Will Wage Next War (Sep, 1933)
World's Deadliest Weapons Will Wage Next War
While peace parleys convene, only to end in failure and increased hatreds, military inventors smile to themselves and go on perfecting their engines of death. This article sets forth advanced data on these new weapons and tells how they will add deadliness to combat when they appear at the Front in next war.
by RUSSELL J. MORT
FROM the bow of a submarine lurking submerged in the offing shoots a torpedo bound on a mission of destruction. Leaving a streaked wake as it cleaves the water, it speeds straight for the hull of an unwary destroyer cruising across the horizon.
In the crow's nest of the destroyer, the lookout scanning the sea's surface for any sign of an enemy, picks up the white foaming line whose point is tearing towards his vessel. Without a moment's hesitation he shouts the ominous warning into the speaking tube leading to the bridge: "Torpedo off the starboard beam!"
Hard A'port to Avoid Torpedo
With cool haste the destroyer's commander signals the helmsman to put the wheel hard a'port. Then while the long, deadly torpedo dashes ahead, the lean, gray destroyer swings sharply to the left, and the commander breathes a sigh of relief, for he believes he has maneuvered around in time to get out of the path of the onrushing missile.
But suddenly and unaccountably the torpedo alters its course, too, and makes a bee-line straight for the destroyer's hull. The ship's commander is bewildered at these strange antics. Again he signals hard a'port. The vessel swings around again, and again the torpedo, now only a nun-dred yards off, changes its course— straight toward the war dog's hull.
No Escape
The commander shouts orders for the third swing to port, but it's too late. The torpedo dashes against the destroyer's side and there is an ear-splitting detonation. Like some inescapable undersea Nemesis, the submarine's missile has hunted down its victim and sent it to the bottom of the sea.
Thus may naval encounters of the future result, thanks to the development of a new type of torpedo which will literally chase its victim around the ocean till it finds its mark.
Complete details of the amazing torpedo are veiled in secrecy. However, sufficient information has been released by its inventors to give a fairly clear idea as to the operation of its mechanical steering brain.
Infra-red Rays Steer Torpedo
The secret of the steering mechanism lies in the electric eye built into the nose, just beside the detonating cap, as illustrated in an accompanying drawing. Special filters mounted in front of the "eye" screen out all but infra-red rays, that is, the invisible heat rays at the lower end of the light spectrum.
When infra-red rays impinge upon the electric eye, a current passes through it which operates a set of relays controlling the steering mechanism of the torpedo, shifting the rudder to direct the missile in the direction from which the infra-red rays emanate.
Now most all bodies which radiate heat radiate infra-red rays, heat and infra-red rays being practically the same thing. A naval vessel radiates a slight degree of heat from its engines and it is these infra-red rays which attract the torpedo to the vessel's hull, much as a magnet attracts a piece of steel. No matter what maneuvers the ship may go through, the torpedo, speeding towards the source of the infra-red rays, will always strike its target.
One of a number of new instruments of war, the invention of this new engine of death points out a distinct trend in the development of weapons for future wars. There is much wild talk among laymen in military matters about weapons so hideous that in battles in the next war whole regiments will be annihilated in the batting of an eye.
Thorough research on the part of Modern Mechanix and Inventions correspondents, however, indicates that military inventors are devoting their energies more to perfecting weapons which have already proven their practicability and deadliness in the clash of battle, rather than to fantastic schemes for wholesale destruction of enemy forces. The World War was responsible for many hastily contrived weapons, but it also pointed out the weaknesses of these weapons. Inventors are profiting by the lessons the war taught.
One lesson had to do with the vulnerability of the captive observation balloon. Floating like gigantic sausages in the air, they were fair game for any enemy plane that chose to attack. A stream of incandescent bullets sent them flaming to earth in a cloud of smoke.
Inventors have now relegated these massive bags of inflammable gas to the limbo occupied by the catapult and the battering ram. Their positions behind the lines in the next war will be occupied by the jumping-jack observation tower shown in an accompanying drawing. From the vantage point of his perch atop the telescoping tower, the observer will scan the battlefield to report enemy movements and effects of artillery fire, while a ground crew holds itself in readiness to lower the mast the moment an enemy plane shows itself in the skies.
Ready for Action on Moment's Notice
There will be much less danger of an attack, however, because the tower, tall and slender, will not bulk so huge against the sky as the old-fashioned observation balloon used in the World War. Other large advantages are represented in the extreme mobility of the tower, since it can be lowered and raised in a few minutes, and transported to some vital battle area as fast as an auto can move.
A weapon to combat the formidable tank was another problem that confronted military men during the World War, and it was not until very recently that a satisfactory solution was found. This solution is a high-velocity bullet which drives right through the toughest tank armor—a solution, too, which bears out the military commonplace that for every weapon of offense there is a weapon of defense.
An invention of H. Gerlich, a German ballistics expert, the bullet is now under investigation by small-arms technicians of the American Army.
The secret of the extraordinary armor-piercing power of the new bullet lies in its "compressibility." The projectile goes in at the breech at .35 caliber and comes out the nozzle .25 caliber. This compression is effected by tapering the bore as illustrated in an accompanying drawing.
The projectile is equipped with two flanges, .35 caliber in diameter which slip into the ammunition chamber of the rifle, whose bore is channeled to fold down the flanges as the bullet speeds towards the muzzle. Decided advantages are represented in this arrangement. The large cross-sectional area of the bullet before firing offers a maximum surface to take the full force of the explosion of the powder, while small cross-sectional area of the "compressed" bullet emerging from the muzzle of the gun reduces wind resistance, and hence loss of velocity, to a minimum.
It is this combination of features which accounts for the bullet's terrific velocity of 5,000 feet a second, nearly double that of standard army rifles, and gives it distinct advantages. The line of flight, or trajectory, is flattened to a minimum so that soldiers need not trouble about adjusting their sights when firing at distant objects. Also the time of flight from rifle to target is greatly shortened, a highly important feature for anti-aircraft machine gunners firing at a fast-moving target.
Above all, however, whizzing at extreme velocity, the bullet drives straight through the hardest tank armor. At such speed, the inventor claims, the projectile has no time to flatten out on striking a hard object; it goes through the steel like a straw goes through a board in a tornado.
Military authorities see many tactical advantages in this new Gerlich bullet and its adoption as a standard instrument of war is expected. The next development to be looked for is an anti-anti-tank bullet armor, and following this, an ultra-high velocity bullet.
The next war will also see another new convenience in the art of machine gunning—a phosphorescent bullet which shows the gunner what he's hitting when he fires into the darkness of the night. Heretofore night shooting has been nothing more than pot-shooting. Except when a parachute flare illuminated the battlefield, the gunners were firing blindly into blackness.
Developed recently by the English Chemical Warfare service, the bullet has a phosphorous nose that creates wherever it strikes a luminous splotch, enabling the gunner to get the range of his target, and eliminating all guesswork.

text: GOOD CLEAN FOOD: Cool kid chefs Nina Clemente and Michael Reed, who met when both worked at Nancy Silverton's Osteria Mozza, have since gone on to form their own catering companies, Indigo Kid and Root of all Food, respectively, but the two came together for a three-night pop-up dining venture at The Standard in Hollywood that kicked off on Wednesday. The six-course prix fixe feast ($85) features locally grown and sustainable ingredients from farms like One Gun Ranch in Malibu. The menu is vegetable-heavy but features a wild sea bass crudo cured with a citrus beet vinaigrette, as well as a strip steak. Just don't expect too much butter or cream. "We went to battle over the cream," laughed Reed, who created a sunchoke soup that calls for the ingredient. "This is L.A., and our clients can be finicky, but we also have to stay true to ourselves," allowed Clemente. Those foodie friends dining include Tracee Ellis Ross, Liz Goldwyn, Shiva Rose, Marisa Tomei, Michael and Max Chow, PC Valmorbida and Anna Getty. "Michael and I hope that we can continue to do things like this every three or four months. It could be the beginning of a great movement," said Clemente, who formed the Reclaim Real Food campaign with Tomei and Rose when the three made a PSA calling for voters to support California Proposition 37, which would have required foods to label genetically modified ingredients. The bill didn't pass, but the Just Label It campaign is one of the event's beneficiaries, as well as Garden School Foundation, which creates working gardens in public schools. Said Clemente: "We're like the responsible chefs."

Indianapolis — Soon, doctors will be writing prescriptions for exercise if the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) have their way. The two groups have partnered to create the Exercise Is Medicine program, which encourages physicians to advise patients to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise and 10 minutes of stretching and light weightlifting into their routines five times a week.
The program is intended to ensure that physical activity is a standard part of discussion in each patient visit and to produce the expectation among patients that their doctor will ask about and prescribe exercise. The AMA and the ACSM also want to help health care providers become consistently effective in counseling patients about their physical activity needs. Another program goal is to change policy in public and private sectors to support physical activity counseling and referrals in clinical settings.
A spokesperson for the AMA says the program should benefit the fitness industry and should increase health club memberships. The AMA will provide physicians with "physician kits" that contain materials such as prescription forms and referral forms, and basic exercise information regarding specific health conditions and details on how to choose a gym and a trainer to help patients get started.
Richard Cotton, the ACSM's national director of certification programs, thinks the physician kits will be key to getting doctors to prescribe exercise to their patients.
"A primary intention of our physician kit will be to help them be more comfortable with the process," Cotton says. "While many patients can be given a simple prescription to walk or begin a strength or stretching program, an important component of the physician training program will be to assist them introducing their patients to the services offered by the fitness industry, both fitness professionals and clubs alike."

Palm is replacing its legacy operating system with an innovative new Linux-based webOS platform that will support application development with web technologies. We got some early clues about the platform SDK from a developer shortly after the launch, but those few tantalizing hints weren't enough to satisfy the techno-lust of those of us who are eagerly awaiting the public SDK launch. Fortunately, Palm has decided to give us a sweet hit of the good stuff with new technical details that have been published at the Palm Developer Network website.
The new documentation is the first chapter of a book about webOS that is being authored by Palm CTO Mitch Allen in collaboration with the O'Reilly publishing company. The chapter provides a basic overview of the webOS platform and introduces its intriguing application model and some of the basic terminology behind its user interface paradigms.
Palm's webOS leverages standards-based web technologies and allows third-party developers to build complete applications using a mix of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses a custom JavaScript framework called Mojo and bundles some popular third-party JavaScript libraries, including Prototype.
Stages and scenes
WebOS applications are displayed on "stage" elements, which are described with HTML and contain various "scene" elements. Scenes are organized in a stack and can be displayed or removed programmatically with push and pop actions that are executed through the JavaScript scene assistant. Basic widgets are described in HTML by inserting a div element with a custom x-mojo-element attribute that specifies the name of the widget. The user interface elements are accessible through the DOM and can be styled with CSS. Various widget events can be bound to JavaScript callback functions.
Access to underlying platform capabilities is provided by the Services API, which is accessible through a JSON bridge. This gives applications access to the device's geolocation, telephony, and camera capabilities. The Service API system seems to be a generalized abstraction layer through which a wide range of external services and data sources can be exposed. According to the chapter, it can also be used to access web services and data from various applications on the device. It seems likely that it's extensible, but no details have been provided yet to indicate how that works.
The platform supports headless background services that interact with the user through passive notifications and interactive dashboard elements. Persistent data storage in webOS is facilitated by the HTML 5 database features. The platform's integrated media server supports audio and video playback through the open source GStreamer media engine.
Applications are organized into a particular directory structure and are bundled with various resources and an appinfo.json file that will include application metadata. Although many aspects of the webOS platform are built on existing standards, this is one that is not. It's a little disappointing that Palm didn't adopt the nascent w3c web widgets spec.
Applications will have to be signed in order to run on the device. The signing services will be provided through the Developer Portal and applications will be deployed to end users through Palm's new Application Catalog. From the details available in the chapter, it seems as though there is not going to be a single official IDE for building webOS applications. The SDK will include command-line tools and some plugins to aid webOS development with a variety of existing HTML editors including Eclipse and Aptana Studio.
After reading through all nine pages of the first chapter, I'm moderately impressed with what I've seen. It appears as though webOS significantly lowers the barriers to entry for new developers and makes it easy to adapt and reuse existing JavaScript code. I still have some doubts about the performance implications of using web-based technologies pervasively throughout the platform, however. Unfortunately, Palm has still not yet disclosed any technical details about the inner workings of the application runtime.
The additional details that have been released in this first chapter have answered quite a few of my own questions about webOS application development. It's starting to look like a very promising platform and I'm looking forward to exploring it in greater detail when the SDK is released.

What is the unpardonable sin against the Holy spirit?
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2011-01-21 02:10
Mt. 12:32 has been sources of controversy and even mental agony for so many people. 'Sin against the son of man will be forgiven, but sin against the Holy Spirit will no be forgiven.' Is the first 'son of man' any son of man or Jesus Christ? Whether it is any man or Christ, that part of the verse is not a big problem, because those who sinned against Christ were forgiven and Christ Himself prayed for their forgiveness. Sin against the Holy Spirit is not the so called mortal sin contrasted against the venial sin in the Roman Catholic theology on the basis of 1 Jn. 5: 16. Neither is it any sin about which one feels true repentance. Sin against the Holy Spirit is the blindness of the eye of the spirit in such a way that the stage of cataract operation is over. When one looks at Jesus Christ and calls His brilliance darkness, his spiritual eye must be utterly blind. When Jesus is called Beelzebub, it is sin against the Holy Spirit. There is no pardon for it in this world or in the world to come because such a person does not have any guilty conscience against anything and does not feel the need of repentance ever. Any penitential heart, which truly repents of one's sin is sure to get the pardon of Christ. The sinner who commits the sin against the Holy Spirit is already committed to Satan as he or she has sunk to the level of satan (Rom. 1: 24, 26,28). Any one who feels truly sorry for the sins committed and wants to forsake it and live a new life of purity has not committed any sin against the Holy Spirit and should not feel that one has no forgiveness.

Federally recognized Indian tribes can apply for funding to administer and operate their own TANF programs. This option is described under section 412 of the Social Security Act, as amended by Pub.L.104-193. As of May 13, 2019, there are 74 approved Tribal TANF programs. These programs serve 284 federally recognized Tribes and Alaska Native Villages.
TANF gives federally recognized Indian tribes flexibility in the design of welfare programs that promote work and responsibility and strengthen families. Similar to states, they receive block grants to design and operate programs that accomplish one of the four purposes of the TANF program.
The four purposes of the TANF program are:
Indian tribes are required to submit a three-year Tribal TANF plan to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) for review and approval. The approved Tribal TANF programs then receive a portion of the state TANF block grant from the state where the tribe is located.

The officers and members envision with deep optimism, the creation and organization of the foundation and a museum and library, to serve as center and repository of relics and artifacts as well as a genuine source of the rich natural and historical legacy and source of a growing collection and reference on Palawan's cultural heritage.
The protection, conservation and preservation of the local and national patrimony are likewise hopefully expected.
Purpose of Incorporation:
1. To undertake, promote, directly finance and/or assist projects in relation with the Natural and historical wealth and heritage of the Province of Palawan and the City of Puerto Princesa.
2. To promote, assist and directly finance the establishment and maintenance of the museum and library.
3. To develop, promote and distribute learning materials pertinenet to its objectives.
4. To assist the government in its program to promote tourism.
1. To promote among Palawenos in particular and Filipinos in general a deeper understanding and appreciation of Palawan's rich natural, cultural and historical heritage and patrimony.
2. To develop positive behavioral/attitudinal change in visitor's and tourist's view about Palawan and Puerto Princesa City.
3. To provide cultural awareness for the intellectual enrichment of our future generation.
Brief Description:
In 1986, the Committee on Education, Culture and Arts of the Puerto Princesa City Council, led by Hon. Antonio P. Romasanta, Sr. Chairman, and Hon. Carolina F. San Juan, Vice Chairman, organized the Natural and Historical Foundation of the City of Puerto Princesa through a resolution, with the approval of the City Mayor.
On September 1, 1987, the Foundation was created by virtue of Executive order No. 20 and signed by Hon. Alfred E. Abueg Jr., then city Mayor, for the establishment of a museum and library to serve as a repository of relics and artifacts and a venue of information on the rich historical, cultural and natural heritage of the city.
The expansion of the scope of the foundation was decided, and on April 20, 1989, it was registered with the Securities and Exhange Commision as the Natural and Historical Foundation of Palawan and the City of Puerto Princesa, Inc.
The Museum
The Palawan Museum was opened at the Old City Hall on March 4, 1991, through the kind assistance of Mrs. Cecille B. Mitra, Honorary Chairman, to coincide with the Foundation Anniversary of the City of Puerto Princesa, in the presence of the city government officials led by Mayor and Mrs. Feliberto Oliveros and Comelec Comissioner Alfredo Abueg Jr.
On its first year, promotion drives were undertaken and on its first Anniversary of the Palawan Museum, the old City Hall was fully occupied by the Museum, after it was renovated through financial assistance from the Countrywide Development Funds of Congressman Alfredo E. Abueg Jr. of the Second District of Palawan. On the same occasion, the Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the City Government and the Foundation, leasing the building to the Foundation for 25 years and embodying the pledge of financial support by the City Government through City Mayor Edward S. Hagedorn.
Since its establishment the Foundation has embarked on the following:
1. Networking with the National Museum, National Commision for Culture and The Arts (NCCA), National Historical Institute (NHI), National Library, Department of Tourism (DOT), and other museums in the country.
2. It is a member of the Philippine Association of Museum Inc. (PAMI) and actively participates in the Annual Museum Congresses.
3. It has co-sponsored Annual Historical Conferences of the Philippine Historical Association, National Commision for Culture and the Arts, Philippine Assoication of Museum, Inc. and National Historical Institute in Palawan.
4. It has facilitated the recognition of important historical sites in the province by the NHI whereby historical markers had been installed such in the Taytay Fort, the landing of the 1st Phil-Am radio operators which paved the way for the installation of communication system during World War 2 and resulted in the liberation of Palawan and Panay from japanese forces.
5. Staged the ethnic Cuyuno Cultural Festival in coordination with Cuyo and Magsaysay local government.
6. It has encouraged and promoted local artists by making the museum available for their exhibits; conducted art workshops among students and out-of school youth and conducted annual historical contest for the past 10 years.
7. Established a plant nursery after winning a project proposal from the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) Foundation. This is intended for the purpose of planting forest tree species in the failed cultural village project, but the nursery has been continued for educational purposes source of seedlings for their annual tree planting project for the past 3 years and can be one source of funds for the maintennance of the museum.
8. Registered artifacts excavated in the province and coordinated with the National Museum for the issuance of permits for excavation.
9. Enjoined law enforcement agencies in the protection, preservation of our cultural resources.
10. Sponsored the printing of book entitled "Puerto Princesa During the Second World War.". A Narrative History, a compilation of events, war experiences and personal testimonies edited by Mrs. Carolina F. San Juan.
Note: This website was created for purposes of extending the museum's presence to the local, national and international community and is in line with the efforts of the museum to live up to its social function. The museum is also in the process of updating its services and strengthening its capability to earn money that could sustain it without the need for public financing. This project was spearheaded by Jocelyn Fabello.

- Speak with your employer about the company's rules on body jewelry. Some companies are more lax on their rules than others.
- Go to your local body jewelry shop and purchase a retainer for your piercing. Retainers are clear, usually plastic pieces of jewellery that are used to retain piercings when it is not possible to wear regular jewelry.
- Wear the retainer when you are at work. The clear jewelry makes it possible for you to both keep your piercing and follow the rules set by your employer.
- Use your normal jewelry when you are not at work. Retainers are not designed to be used permanently.

How to Hide a Tongue Piercing
Having a tongue piercing has become somewhat of a norm. However, employers often request that their employees not have visible piercings. Instead of taking the jewelry out and letting the tongue piercing close, many people have chosen to hide the fact that they have such a piercing. Hiding the fact that you have your tongue pierced is pretty easy.

The Soviet Union created Anti-American and Anti-Israeli Sentiment in the Muslim World
Week in Review
Jimmy Carter was a very weak president. When he took over fighting the Cold War he stopped fighting it. Choosing détente instead. Making nice with our enemies. And weakened the U.S. military. It got so bad that the Soviets didn't believe he had the guts to launch his nuclear weapons. Thinking that perhaps MAD (mutually assured destruction) wasn't so assured anymore. And began formulating a nuclear first-strike plan. Bringing the United States close to nuclear war. Because our enemies viewed him as weak.
Then came Ronald Reagan. Who reversed the Carter decline. And made our enemies fear and respect us once again. Choosing to win the Cold War instead of making nice with our enemies. As communism was a wretched system that enslaved her people who yearned to breathe free. Exporting its oppression wherever it could throughout the world. Where we're feeling the fallout to this day. Thanks to Jimmy Carter making nice to our enemy (see EXCLUSIVE: New book reveals how KGB operation seeded Muslim countries with anti-American, anti-Jewish propaganda during the 1970s, laying the groundwork for Islamist terrorism against U.S. and Israel by David Martosko posted 6/25/2013 on the Daily Mail).
The highest-ranking Soviet-bloc intelligence officer ever to defect to the West claims in a new book that anti-American Islamic terrorism had its roots in a secret 1970s-era KGB plot to harm but the United States and Israel by seeding Muslim countries with carefully targeted propaganda.
Yuri Andropov, the KGB chief for 15 years before he became the Soviet premier, sent hundreds of agents and thousands of copies of propaganda literature to Muslim countries.
'By 1972,' according to the book, 'Andropov's disinformation machinery was working around the clock to persuade the Islamic world that Israel and the United States intended to transform the rest of the world into a Zionist fiefdom…'
Andropov began his leadership of the KGB just months before the 1967 Six-Day War between Arabs and Israelis, in which Israel humiliated the key Soviet allies Syria and Egypt. And he decided to settle the score by training Palestinian militants to hijack El Al airplanes and bomb sites in Jerusalem.
But more shocking, Andropov commissioned the first Arabic translation of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a Russian-forged 1905 propaganda book that alleged Jews were plotting to take over Europe – and were being aided by the United States…
Kennedy-era Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev's disinformation campaigns 'widened the gap between Christianity and Judaism,' according to the authors. And 'Andropov's disinformation turned the Islamic world against the United States and ignited the international terrorism that threatens us today.'
This is the enemy that Jimmy Carter was trying to make nice to. One that was widening the gap between Christianity and Judaism. And one that was turning the Islamic world against the United States. Which the Soviets did well. Giving us the mess we have today.
The Soviet Union was officially an atheist state. Who shut down the Russian Orthodox Church. As they wanted no other powers or influences over their people's lives. Which is why they had no problem putting the major world religions at war with each other. And explains why today the Russians always seem to fall on the side against the U.S. and Israel. For they worked hard to foment that anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment. And Vladimir Putin was once KGB. The machine that created this sentiment. And apparently he still wants to collect the dividends from their old Soviet-era allies.
So it appears that the War on Terror is nothing more than the Cold War redux. It's not a rogue power that filled a vacuum left by the Soviet collapse. But a power that the Soviets created maturing at the time of the Soviet collapse. Too late to help them not lose the Cold War to Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. But perhaps not too late to further expand Russian power over their Soviet-era allies. Thanks to that anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiment inflaming the Islamic world. The Soviets made them our enemy. Not any YouTube video. Or George W. Bush. And no amount of making nice to them is going to change that.

Update April 3rd 2018: The SEC has charged Centra founders with fraud. Be careful!
In this special episode of Neocash Radio JJ interviews Sam Sharma the co-founder and president of Centra. The Centra Card is a cryptocurrency based debit card that will allow users to spend Bitcoin, Dash, Ether, ERC 20 tokens, Ripple, Zcash, Monero, and Litecoin. US customers would receive a VISA card and international customers would receive a MASTERCARD — the Centra Card would be linked to a wallet app which could be loaded with crypto.
Sam describes his personal experience with crypto and how the Centra company has been self-funded thus far. After operating for more than a year in secret the company announced their presence in July.
The product is currently running a beta test and will be launched before the end of the year. The CTR token sale is ongoing as of this posting. Centra's CTR token would facilitate rewards for cardholders and token holders alike — much like other crypto debit cards.
Finally Centra is also building a cryptocurrency based marketplace called C-Bay. Sam indicates that at launch there will be more than 100,000 products available for purchase.

Game Industry Culturalization Strategist, Longtime IGDA Member
To Work with the IGDA Board to Grow the Organization
MT. ROYAL, NJ – 27 December 2012 – The International Game Developers Association (IGDA), the world's largest organization serving individuals who create games, has named Kate Edwards Executive Director. Edwards brings more than 16 years' experience in the game industry as a culturalization strategist to the position.
Edwards has applied her expertise to many game titles, including Halo, Age of Empires, Fable, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Dance Central. As Microsoft's geopolitical strategist in the internal team she created ('92 – '05) and as a consultant in her company Englobe ('05 – present), she pioneered the field of "culturalization" to identify geopolitical and cultural risks and opportunities in digital content.
"Kate's knowledge of the global game industry and local cultures make her ideal to lead the IGDA," said Dustin Clingman, Chair, IGDA. "Her long service to our organization and commitment to the global development community will lay a foundation for ongoing international growth."
In her new role, Edwards will work closely with the elected board of directors to further the IGDA's goals — empowering game developers to advance their careers and, in turn, enhance their quality of life.
"Game development is an artistic endeavor with mass appeal," Edwards said. "Developers and fans alike are increasingly aware of the diversity of those who both create and play games. Today, we're engaged in creating great games for a global audience, and the IGDA remains the relevant focal point for supporting developers in the broadest sense of the definition. I'm thrilled to be given the privilege to lead and nurture this awesome community."
Edwards has been a member of the IGDA since 2004, founding and chairing its Localization Special Interest Group, which led to her co-organizing Game Developer Conference's Localization Summit.
Beyond games, Edwards has handled a broad range of issues regarding global-facing content, from online mapping and government relations to marketing and distribution in local markets.
Edwards will remain based in Seattle.
About the International Game Developers Association (IGDA)
The International Game Developers Association is the largest non-profit membership organization serving individuals who create digital games. The IGDA is committed to advancing the careers and enhancing the lives of game developers by connecting members with their peers, promoting professional development, and advocating on issues that affect the developer community.

Twins name Triple-A Rochester coaching staff
The Red Wings went 72-72 in International League play under Glynn last season, their best record in four years. Rochester improved by 19 wins over 2011, despite using 56 different players, 23 of whom were promoted by the Twins.
Next season will be Glynn's seventh season as a Minor League manager and his second at Triple-A. He also has coached at the big league level for four different organizations and was a pro scout for the Rays from 2007-11.
Mason and Doherty are replacing Bobby Cuellar and Tom Brunansky, both of whom the Twins have promoted to their big league staff.
Mason comes to the Red Wings after spending the past two years as a pitching coach in the Cubs' Minor League system. Before that, he spent 25 years in the Cardinals organization, including the final 11 as the Major League bullpen coach.
Doherty was an assistant with the Red Sox big league staff last season, primarily helping out hitting coach Dave Magadan. He spent the previous nine seasons with the Kansas City T-Bones of the independent American Association, first as a hitting coach and then as a manager.

Superman (Volume 4) #1
Written by Peter Tomasi
Art by Patrick Gleason
Ok in this issue – the first of Post-Rebirth Superman comic – we are introduced to Clark and Lois and their son Jon's new farm where Jon accidentally kills his cat when he is trying to save it. I am sorry but that is the kind of dark shit I thought was not going to happen in Rebirth. I mean we had a cat killed in the Batman series already why do I need to be reading two series in a row where cats die. Come on DC! Anyways, this was a good start I guess but I can't say much happens other than Jon being upset they have to hide who they are and Wonder Woman and Batman showing up to talk to Superman. Also, something weird is going on with Superman's hands and it relates to Rebirth.
Superman (Volume 4) #2
Written by Peter Tomasi
Art by Patrick Gleason
Ya right she would not be proud the kid accidentally killed the cat, she would be pissed and upset but only pretending to be okay cause she knew it was an accident. This is a pet's death. People get more upset about it than Tomasi is writing here. Ugh. I like how Tomasi writes Jon over in Super Sons but I find him a bit annoying so far in this series. Also, why do they expect him to be able to fly at all one day? He is half-human. Are they thinking of Connor Kent and that is why? Because Connor was human and krpytonian but he was a clone maybe it is different.

What's the most abused illicit drug in the U.S.? After marijuana, it's cocaine. Almost 15 percent of Americans have tried coke, and 6 percent of high school seniors have gotten high from the drug. But if you think cocaine use is just a modern vice, think again. It's been around for thousands of years and has been promoted not just by dope dealers but also by doctors - including some prominent names that might surprise you.
Want to take a trip down the memory lane of cocaine? With the help of Dr. Howard Markel, author of the new book An Anatomy of Addiction, we've put together a brief history of blow...

Are coca leaves divine? That's what the Incas around the sixth century concluded after discovering the abundant coca bushes found along the Andes Mountains in South America. Incan men and women used cocaine in rituals, and are believed to have carried coca leaves in small pouches, always ready for a chew.

Coca leaves became a consumer product thanks to a French chemist named Angelo Mariani. In 1863, he combined red wine and cocaine to produce a medicinal potion he called Vin Mariani. "It is a stimulant for the fatigued and overworked body and brain, it prevents malaria, influenza and wasting diseases," Mariani claimed. The tonic became wildly popular all over Europe.
Over the years, Mariani introduced all sorts of cocaine-laced spinoffs, including teas, throat lozenges, cigars, cigarettes - and even Mariani margarine.

Doctors got a taste of cocaine and were impressed. Medical journals touted it, saying it could cure everything from flatulence, hysteria, hypochondria, and back pain, to muscle aches, nervous dispositions, and fatigue.
Big drug companies, including Parke, Davis, Merck, Boehringer, and Squibb started making cocaine-containing products - like this vial of cocaine hydrochloride circa 1884 shown here - and sales took off.
"Cocaine was the miracle drug of the 1880s - doctors thought it would cure everything under the sun and patients clamored for the stuff," Dr. Markel says.

Americans may have one John Styth Pemberton to blame for its cocaine addiction. After the war, the Civil War veteran started using morphine to kill the pain caused by his injuries - and became addicted. He read that cocaine could help cure "morphinism," and began producing a wine-based tonic that contained coke. When Georgia banned alcohol, he mixed cocaine with cola nut extract and soda water, and - voila - Coca-Cola (shown here in a 1905 ad) was born.
Pemberton claimed his "health drink" could cure impotence, headaches, and morphine addiction. Coca-Cola is still made from coca leaves - but the cocaine has been chemically extracted.
Sigmund Freud wasn't just the father of psychoanalysis. He was also one of cocaine's leading medical advocates. Who was his favorite test subject? Sigmund himself.
Freud also recommended coke to his friend Ernst Fleischl-Marxow, a Viennese doctor who was battling an addiction to morphine. But Freud's help may have backfired. Fleischl-Marxow became addicted to both drugs and died seven years later, at the age of 45.
Freud wasn't the only top doc back in the day to fall into coke's clutches. Dr. William S. Halsted, a prominent surgeon associated with New York City's Bellevue Hospital in the 1880s, was a risk-taker - he once famously removed his mother's gallbladder on her kitchen table. He started experimenting with cocaine to satisfy his own scientific curiosity.
Here's a photo of an operation at Bellevue at the time (with Halsted inset).

Freud's first major addition to the medical literature dealt not with psychoanalysis but with cocaine. "Uber Coca," was an 1885 tract that erroneously argued that cocaine was so effective at treating morphine and alcohol abuse that "inebriate asylums can be entirely dispensed with."
Credit: The Freud Museum
Freud's colleague Dr. Karl Koller, an ophthalmology intern at Vienna General Hospital, was the first to write about cocaine's anesthetic properties. Soon thereafter, cocaine made headlines around the globe and doctors worldwide capitalized on the new miracle drug. Freud was less than thrilled about Koller stealing the spotlight.
Here's Koller in 1884, at the age of 27.
Like Freud, Halsted used his own body to study cocaine's effects, injecting the drug into his arm and occasionally sniffing it to fight fatigue. He and his pals were taking cocaine for theater trips, dances, and bowling outings. Soon they became full-fledged addicts, injecting the drug exclusively.
Here's Halsted in the Johns Hopkins operating room, around 1905.

When did cocaine become part of popular culture? Back in 1887, when a young British doctor named Arthur Conan Doyle published the first Sherlock Holmes novel, "A Study in Scarlet." In the book, the sleuth injects himself with cocaine to unwind after difficult cases.
Freud scholars believe he kicked cocaine around the time of his father's death, in 1886. At the time, he wrote in a letter, "Next time I shall write more and in greater detail, incidentally, the cocaine brush has been completely put aside."
Here's Freud with his famous couch, around 1932.
The nation took notice of drug addiction's sweeping effects, and tried to curtail it with the passage of the Harrison Narcotics Act. Named for its sponsor, New York Representative Francis B. Harrison (pictured), the act regulated and taxed those who produced, imported and distributed opiate drugs including opium, morphine, heroin, and codeine, as well as cocaine.
What happened to William Halsted? He was a cocaine and morphine addict until the very end. One can only imagine the physical and mental toll 38 years of secretive drug abuse took on the brilliant surgeon. Halsted died in 1922.
Credit: Alan Mason Chesney Archives of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions/ istockphoto
The Harrison Act didn't quite do what its sponsor had hoped. Cocaine use grew in popularity in the early 20th Century. In 1934, Cole Porter celebrated coke in his hit song "I Get a Kick Out of You," whose lyrics include the following lines: "Some get a kick from cocaine. I'm sure that if I took even one sniff that would bore me terrifically, too. Yet, I get a kick out of you."
Charlie Chaplin (shown here) did his part too, with his character accidentally taking a lot of cocaine in the 1936 film "Modern Times."
Credit: Modern Times
Cocaine use in the U.S. began to dip by the 1940s only to come back with a vengeance in the 1970s. But behind the good times at New York City's Studio 54 disco was the dirty and often deadly world of drug trafficking. Pablo Escobar (shown here in a 1989 Columbian television wanted ad) was a leading drug tycoon until his death in 1993.

Nearly 5 million Americans used cocaine within the last year - and nearly 2 million have used it in the last month, according to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, . Cocaine also causes about 550,000 trips to the emergency department each year.
"Cocaine abuse and addiction continue to plague our Nation,"says Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse.
Dr. Markel says there's hope, despite these statistics:
"Recent discoveries about the inner workings of the brain and the harmful effects of cocaine offer us unprecedented opportunities for addressing this persistent public health problem."

There are many energy sources that can potentially pose a risk to industrial employees. Therefore, US Regulation 29 CFR 1910.147 and European Workplace Regulations require ensuring that machinery and other work equipment is isolated from its energy sources, and secured in a way to avoid accidentally re-energisation.
Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO): Control of Hazardous Energies
Lock Out Tag Out: Our Service for your Safety
Lock Out Tag Out - increasing approach in Europe
The use of Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) programmes is increasing in Europe and it is no longer seen as solely a North American safety approach. The increasing number of companies all over the world creating specific LOTO procedures demonstrates the industry's leaning toward a 'best practice' approach.

This is achieved by plants worldwide to implementing a LOTO programme that confirms to US Regulation 29 CFR 1910.147. 29 CFR 1910.147 requires a company implements the following as a minimum.
1. Develop an overall LOTO Policy
2. Develop a list of machines requiring a LOTO procedure.
3. Ensure all required equipment for Locking and Tagging out a machine is available
4. Create a LOTO Procedure for machinery identified
5. Train Staff in recognising hazardous energy and LOTO Procedures
Pilz offers a complete Lock Out Tag Out System package, consisting of two stages: LOTO Analysis and LOTO Procedure Development. Both solutions are combined in a practical tailor-made package for our customers.
As part of Lock Out Tag Out Pilz will

Sharks are critical to the functioning of our ecosystems, regulating the natural balance in their role as top predators. Shark populations are under great threat from fishing, persecution, habitat destruction and climate change. The aim of the Frontier-Fiji Shark Conservation Project is to increase the understanding of shark populations around the island of Beqa, where data is known to be deficient, this information is vital for successful management strategies and shark conservation. We are determining the amount of species present, the abundance of those species, their behaviour and the structure of the populations. This information is vital in understanding the health of the local shark population and how at risk they are from certain human and environmental threats. In addition to scientific data collection Frontier is working with local communities to raise awareness regarding the importance of sharks and help them to make informed decisions regarding the management of their coastal ecosystems for the protection of sharks.
To achieve this mission, we conduct scientific surveys on reefs occupied by sharks, investigating their population assemblage in relation to the marine habitat to better understand their population dynamics, behaviour and to better protect the species locally and internationally. Once population levels are determined and we have identified the factors contributing to either a decline in or enhancement of shark numbers, this information can be fed back to marine experts to assist in successful management strategies and we can we can increase our work with local communities; building awareness of the value and vulnerability of local shark populations and working to increase protections.
The marine research and conservation programme is run in association with The University of the South Pacific. The work aims to provide the local stakeholders, research organisations and government bodies with the information they need to design and implement management plans for the future protection of shark populations and their habitat around Beqa island and lagoon.
To gather the data needed you will be diving in areas known to be frequented by sharks and studying their diversity and behaviour (if necessary you will learn to dive first). You will explore the surrounding coral ecosystems to determine what factors are contributing to changes in the shark population, such as, availability of food, pollution levels and the health of the coral reefs. To do this you will record the diversity of many fish and marine invertebrate species, assess diversity and cover of coral species, alongside recording various environmental factors. The aim is to better understanding the population dynamics in the area and increasing protections of these endangered and poorly understood species. Frontiers scientific research techniques involve roaming survey dives and line intercept transects for assessment of fish, invertebrate species as well coral diversity. In addition to working with the local shark populations you will also get the chance to carry out surveys on many ecologically and commercially important species of fish and invertebrate, from colourful little nudibranchs to the exploited snappers and groupers, you will be part of surveys assessing the general health of marine habitats, all being of great importance to local shark populations. The type of field work underway will depend on the time of year and the content of the research program when you join up and how long you are joining for. With so much to learn it's worth noting that those joining for only a few weeks will be training most of the time and may not get to do a lot of surveying.
Whilst diving, you'll see an extraordinary array of animals in addition to several species of shark; from turtles to manta rays, sea cucumbers to feathery starfish, spiny urchins to octopus and jellyfish. When you motor out on the Frontier boats to distant dive sites you may even encounter rays, humpback whales or flying fish. By the end of your project you will be expert in identifying several species of shark and will have knowledge regarding their ecology and conservation. You will also be able to identify vast numbers of colourful and patterned reef fish, marine invertebrates and coral, as well as being an experienced and competent diver. Although the work is intense and challenging you'll get immense satisfaction from contributing to the conservation of these iconic, yet endangered species. You will return home with the new friends you've made and a wealth of fascinating stories and memories.
You'll find your team to be a fun, dynamic mix of ages and experiences, with members who all share a passion about sharks, saving endangered marine life and travelling in developing countries. Your staff will be young, friendly individuals who are experienced in their field and many have volunteered on a Frontier project earlier in their career.
An airport pick-up service is offered to volunteers arriving on the first Monday of the month only, whose flights land before 2:30pm local time. All other volunteers must make their own way to the project site. We will provide you with easy to follow instructions prior to your departure to enable you to plan your journey. If you are arriving into Fiji before the first Monday of the month but wish to travel to the project site with the main deployment group on the first Monday of the month, the overland arrival meeting point is at Nadi international airport arrivals hall. Please make sure that your intended arrival/travel plans have been arranged and confirmed with the project field staff a minimum of 1 week before your project start date.
If you are travelling to a marine project on Beqa island, you will only be able to travel to the island on the same day if your flight arrives before 9am on the Monday (due to limited boat timetables). However, you are more than welcome to spend one night with us at our homestay family in Suva, or you can choose to stay in Nadi or Suva for a night, in preparation for your journey to Beqa the next morning.
You will travel from the airport along the Coral Coast of the Island of Viti Levu to the town of Navua. Following this you will take a local boat for the one hour journey to the spectacular and famous south Pacific island of Beqa.
If you are an independent traveller arriving on any other date you are welcome to join the project on any Monday, (please discuss your intended arrival date and duration of stay with our travel advisers, especially if you need to book a dive training course, to confirm availability), and please be aware that you will need to organise your own transfer between Nadi and Suva and first night hostel accommodation in Suva at a cost of $42/$40. We will arrange for you to transfer from Suva to Beqa the following day at your own cost where our field team will be ready to welcome you to the Frontier house and camp. Again, you must confirm your exact arrival time/date with in country staff at least 1 week before arrival.
During the project you'll live in our simple but comfortable timber frame house on a cast away camp on the south Pacific island of Beqa. We aim to provide you with an authentic and memorable living experience. The Beqa house and camp has been constructed by local craftsmen, using traditional building techniques and locally sourced building materials. The camp is situated five minutes away from the shore through the rainforest. Camp life is very simple, unsophisticated and fun. You will be staying in communal house near to the local communities. Your "shower" consists of a pipe that runs into the house from the local stream and runs 24 hours a day. The camp has a western style bucket flush toilet and camp style gas hobs to cook on. Prepare for the basic, cast away, virtually footprint-less lifestyle! On occasions you may have to travel further from your beach camp to reach a distant dive site, and then you might stay in a "satellite camp", usually a mosquito net pitched on a beach.
As well as the diving and marine conservation work you may be asked to help with the scientific data entry and will need to help with daily camp maintenance, taking turns to cook, tidy and clean the camp, rinse dive kit, and help with a wide variety of other important and essential camp duties.
Camp food is simple and nutritious and consists largely of rice, split peas, pancakes, flatbreads, , pasta and fruit, all of which are purchased in-country or made on camp in order to help support the local economy. Luxuries such as sweets, biscuits and drinking chocolate have to be brought over to the island from Suva, so make sure you stock up before heading to the camp! Part of your role on camp will be to help with the cooking, so get your cookbooks out now and start practising! Also, with luck you'll be invited to local feasts and festivals – a great way to integrate with the local communities in the nearby villages and absorb the fabulous and welcoming local culture.
Some local dishes to look forward to include taro, taro leaves, breadfruit, sweet potato, cassava, and cassava chips, coconut and fabulous shellfish and seafood. A delicious Fijian speciality is a lovo feast, which is a meal cooked in a hole in the ground – unusual but very tasty!

The Danish forward has expressed his regret in court after being found under the influence while behind the wheel, which has seen him banned from international football
Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner has apologised after being banned from international football for six months following a drink-driving offence.
The Denmark international, who is on loan at the Serie A club from Arsenal, has scored 22 goals in 55 games for his country but will not play international football for six months after being caught driving on the wrong side of the road on Saturday evening.
Speaking in front of the Copenhagen District Court, Bendtner said: "I am incredibly sorry for my actions. I can truly say, that this is the worst day of my life.
"At the same time I take full responsibility for it, for what I have done, but I must go on. I cannot describe how much pain I am going through, but now I want to do all I can to come back strong."
Bendtner's spell with the Italian champions has been blighted by injury. The 25-year-old is yet to score since moving to Turin and has made just eight appearances in Serie A.

The types of ]]>radiation therapy]]> that can be used to treat ovarian cancer include:
In external beam radiation therapy, radiation is produced by a machine called a linear accelerator. Short bursts of x-rays are fired from the machine at your cancer. The x-rays come out in a square-shaped manner, and the radiation oncologist designs special blocks to shape the radiation beam so that it affects the cancer and as little normal tissue as possible.
Like ]]>chemotherapy]]>, the side effects from radiation result from injury to normal body tissues. There are many ways that a radiation oncologist can customize your treatment to try to kill as much cancer while sparing as much normal tissue as possible. The radiation oncologist will determine how many treatments you will receive; sometimes they will be once a day and sometimes twice per day. Each treatment generally only takes a few minutes, and the total treatment time can range from 5-8 weeks depending on the total dose required.
Radiation therapy can be given to treat cancer at its initial site or once it has spread. In some cases, once cancer has spread, radiation is no longer effective. However, the treatments can help resolve problems that the cancer may be causing, including pain and weakness.
Many people believe that once you have received a certain dose of radiation you can no longer get any more treatment. It is true that each tissue in the body can only safely tolerate a certain dose of radiation. However, the therapy is very focused. and it is possible that you can get additional treatments to an already treated area or certainly to an area not yet treated. Ask your radiation oncologist about what dose you can safely receive.
A type of external beam radiation therapy that may be used to treat ]]>ovarian cancer]]> is called whole abdominal radiotherapy (WART). Like chemotherapy, WART is designed to treat all of the tissues in your abdomen where ovarian cancer cells may be hiding after surgery. In the 1960s and 1970s, WART was commonly offered in the US. After a study in the mid-1970s showed that the side effects were worse after WART than after chemotherapy, chemotherapy became the more popular treatment in the US. WART is still used commonly throughout Europe and Canada, and several cancer centers in the US still use WART. Ask your doctor if this treatment is reasonable for you.
In some rare cases, your doctor may ask you to consider a radioactive liquid called phosphorus 32 (P-32). The doctor will instill it into your abdomen and move it around so that it touches all the surfaces of the inside of your belly, where tumor cells could be hiding. This treatment is easy to perform, but it can cause nausea and vomiting, and it increases the chances that you could develop bowel complications later in life. Scientists are still debating whether radioactive P-32 helps beyond surgery and chemotherapy. Intraperitoneal radiation treatment is most often used after a "second look" surgery to consolidate treatment.

Jan-30-09 DCA Seeking Additional USF/HEA Application Agencies
DCA Seeking Additional USF/HEA Application Agencies
TRENTON - Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Commissioner Joseph Doria today announced that in an effort to better serve the low-income residents of New Jersey, the Office of Home Energy Assistance is soliciting applications for additional USF/HEA agencies. The application period is January 30, 2009 through March 2, 2009.
"When Governor Corzine increased the income eligibility for these programs last year, he made clear his commitment to assisting those New Jersey residents most in need," said Commissioner Doria. "Adding more application agencies will be another tool in processing applications and assisting more people so that they can receive home energy assistance."
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps low-income residents with their heating and cooling bills, and makes provisions for emergency heating system services and emergency fuel assistance. Last fall, the Governor raised income eligibility for this program from 175% of the federal poverty level to 225%. This increase will allow approximately 50,000 more households to be eligible for LIHEAP (projected households is 245,000, compared to 196,000 last year). USF/HEA designated agencies are responsible for application intake, application processing and responding to applicant questions about the program and application status. Application intake for the USF program is 12 months a year. Application intake for the LIHEAP is from November 1 through April 30 each year.
Applications are now being accepted through the web-based NJ SAGE system. For IRS 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organizations interested in becoming a DCA-designated USF/HEA agency, please visit https://njdcasage.state.nj.us/Portal.asp.
Eligible IRS 501 (c)(3) not-for-profits applying to serve the following counties will receive an additional consideration on their application: Atlantic, Cape May, Gloucester, Monmouth, and Somerset.
Interested nonprofits are invited to an information workshop from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Monday, February 9, 2009, in Room 816 at DCA, located at 101 South Broad Street, Trenton, NJ.
For further information on LIHEAP and USF, call toll-free: 1-800-510-3102, or log on to http://www.state.nj.us/dca/divisions/dhcr/offices/hea.html.

Nine Commentaries On Chinese Communist Party PDF File
Nine Commentaries On Communist Party:
Part 01/10: On What the Communist Party Is
More than a decade after the fall of the former Soviet Union and Eastern European communist regimes, the international communist movement has been spurned worldwide. The demise of the Chinese Communist Party is only a matter of time.
Part 02/10: On the Beginnings of the Chinese Communist Party
Why did the Communist Party emerge, grow and eventually seize power in contemporary China? Did the Chinese people choose the Communist Party? Or, did the Communist Party gang up and force Chinese people to accept it? The CCP has set itself above all, conquering all in its path, thereby bringing endless catastrophe to China.
Part 03/10: On the Tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party
Today the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s violence and abuses are even more severe than those of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty. The CCP's philosophy is one of "struggle," and the CCP's rule has been built upon a series of "class struggles," "path struggles," and "ideological struggles," both in China and toward other nations.
Part 04/10: On How the Communist Party Is an Anti-Universe Force
In the last hundred years, the sudden invasion by the communist specter has created a force against nature and humanity, causing limitless agony and tragedy. It has also pushed civilization to the brink of destruction. It has become an extremely malevolent force against the universe.
Part 05/10: On the Collusion of Jiang Zemin with the CCP to Persecute Falun Gong
Why is Falun Gong, which upholds the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and has been promulgated in over 60 countries worldwide, being persecuted only in China, not anywhere else in the world? In this persecution, what is the relationship between Jiang Zemin and the CCP?
Part 06/10: On How the Chinese Communist Party Destroyed Traditional Culture
The CCP has devoted the nation's resources to destroying China's rich traditional culture. The CCP's destruction of Chinese culture has been planned, well organized, and systematic, made possible by the state's use of violence. Since its establishment, the CCP has never stopped "revolutionizing" Chinese culture in the attempt to completely destroy its spirit.
Part 07/10: On the Chinese Communist Party's History of Killing
The 55-year history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is written with blood and lies. The stories behind this bloody history are not only brutally inhumane but also rarely known. Under the rule of the CCP, 60 to 80 million innocent Chinese people have been killed, leaving their broken families behind.
Part 08/10: On How the Chinese Communist Party Is an Evil Cult
The Communist Party is essentially an evil cult that harms mankind. Although the Communist Party has never called itself a religion, it matches every single trait of a religion. At the beginning of its establishment, it regarded Marxism as the absolute truth in the world. It exhorted people to engage in a life-long struggle for the goal of building a "communist heaven on earth."
Part 09/10: On the Unscrupulous Nature of the Chinese Communist Party
What is most terrifying is that the CCP is going all out to try to destroy the moral foundation of the entire nation, attempting to turn every Chinese national to various degrees into a scoundrel in order to create an environment favorable for the CCP to "advance with time." It is especially important for us to understand clearly why the CCP acts like scoundrels and to discern its criminal nature.
Part 10/10: Conclusion
