This is an exciting opportunity to improve the safety and comfort of these streets. NEXT WEEK The Hennepin County consultants behind this project are anticipating performing a temporary parking ban along the corridor on Tuesday, September 8th. The parking ban is to accommodate a LIDAR scan of the streets, where a laser will record the exact geometry of the existing street accurate plans for the upcoming multimodal project can be developed. While they can likely complete this work within a few hours, there will be day-long parking ban to err on the side of caution. Also, the LIDAR scan requires sunlight to work best, so the temporary parking ban could move to another day the week of September 8-11 in the event of inclement weather. BACKGROUND The overall project is not a full street reconstruction on these two avenues, but is instead a federally-funded multimodal improvement project intended to install new bike facilities, improve pedestrian facilities, and make improvements to intersections and traffic operations throughout the corridor. While smaller in scope than a reconstruction, this project still provides the opportunity to make meaningful, permanent changes to East Hennepin and 1st Ave NE to better support safety for all users. ENGAGEMENT We expect there will be an introductory community meeting sometime in October or November 2020 about the scope of the project, and what overall community engagement will look like over the next 12-18 month. Within the next couple months there will be a project website. Additionally you will be seeing all relevant information posted to both the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association's and the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association's online platforms. © Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association 500 8th Avenue SE | Minneapolis, MN 55414 Created with NationBuilder | negative |

It takes more than just calories to gain muscle mass. In order to stimulate rapid muscle growth (and not fat) it takes both calories and precise nutrient partitioning to create a highly anabolic environment. This can only be achieved with (1) properly timed, high-speed macronutrient delivery and (2) near-perfect insulin optimization. High-Speed Macronutrient Delivery: Proteins and carbohydrates that are absorbed at high speeds can spike your blood amino acid and glucose levels. In turn, this stimulates higher speeds of protein and glycogen synthesis (anabolism), resulting in faster gains in muscle mass. Near-Perfect Insulin Optimization: Insulin is the most powerful muscle growth and recovery hormone. So powerful are its effects that pro bodybuilders seek to increase it and proclaim amazingly fast gains. Yes, insulin is that anabolic and effectively triggers muscle growth, especially in combination with a fast acting protein. Read on to discover how CARNIVOR MASS can help you reap insulin’s extreme muscle building effects. YOU CAN FEEL THE ANABOLIC IMPACT CARNIVOR MASS is the epitome of an anabolic superfood and more advanced than any typical mass gainer. Where regular foods and typical gainers are limited in terms of speed of absorption and the potential for insulin spiking, CARNIVOR MASS excels. It combines a unique best-of-breed hydrolyzed beef protein isolate (BPI) with a dual-action insulin signal amplifying technology known as iSpike™. BPI and iSpike act in tandem to support maximum muscle anabolism while minimizing fat storage. CARNIVOR MASS is an extremely fast, clean and highly anabolic gainer. Welcome to a new era in mass building supplementation with CARNIVOR MASS, the fast, clean, highly anabolic mass gainer! › 50g of Protein Per Serving › Hydrolyzed BEEF Protein Isolate › 125g High Impact Reactive Carbs › Insulin Amplification › Loaded with Creatine and BCAAs › Sugar Free › Lactose Free › Less than 2 Grams Fat Beef Protein Isolate: Beef has proven itself as an anabolic protein over centuries of use. Now MuscleMeds is the first to provide bodybuilders with a beef protein isolated from its proprietary matrix, thereby giving it the freedom to spike blood amino acid and insulin levels at speeds comparable with whey – resulting in comparable or even higher impact anabolic effects. MuscleMeds beef protein isolate (BPI) is 350% more concentrated in amino acids than steak and more concentrated than whey, with no fat or cholesterol. Plus its further enhanced with 5 grams of creatine and additional BCAAs for even greater anabolic power. With CARNIVOR MASS, you get the mass building benefits of beef protein at the speed of whey without the lactose, allergies and other problems frequently associated with the use of dairy products. IDEAL TIMES OF USE With its Beef Protein Isolate and iSpike Technology, CARNIVOR MASS allows the advanced bodybuilder to achieve high-speed macronutrient delivery and support near-perfect insulin management in one convenient product. Because its insulin-spiking actions are acute (lasting 30 minutes to 2 hours), CARNIVOR MASS is ideal for consumption: › Post-workout (to maximize recovery and muscle growth). › Upon awakening in the morning (to suppress catabolism and restore anabolism). › Any other time when several hours have passed since your last meal. WHAT TO EXPECT In a pre-market consumer test conducted by MuscleMeds R&D team, bodybuilders using CARNIVOR MASS experienced benefits including but not limited to: 1 to 7 days of use: Increases in muscle fullness and strength; faster recovery from workouts; mass gains of 1-2 lbs. are possible.* 7 to 14 days of use: Further increases in muscle strength; reduction in perceived effort (workouts feel somewhat easier); sensation of greater overall power; mass gains of 2 to 7 pounds are possible.* 21 days and beyond: Further increases in muscle mass, strength and power. The possibilities are endless!* MuscleMeds Introduces – iSpike Technology Insulin Release Amplification The speed at which a nutrient particle is absorbed is partly a function of its surface area. The greater the surface area, the more digestive enzyme molecules can react with it simultaneously. This promotes greater rates of absorption and higher insulin spikes. The MuscleMeds lab managed to reduce the average size of the carbohydrate particles in iSpike while increasing the total number of particles. The result is a staggering increase in reactive surface area and faster absorption. Studies suggest that iSpike’s surface area enhanced carbohydrates, when combined with a fast-acting protein, could promote a 500% greater insulin spike as compared to eating a fast-acting protein alone. Test subjects have reported a sensation of strength and energy within 30 minutes of taking CARNIVOR MASS. This could be the feeling of anabolism you’ve been waiting for! Did you know that when you drink calories rather than chew them, you skip the important first step of carbohydrate digestion and bypass carbohydrate digesting enzymes secreted into your saliva? This fact has been totally neglected by makers of conventional mass gainers. It can result in a delay in absorption and a shorter insulin spike. iSpike addresses this problem with a natural system of amylases that slices through every carbohydrate particle in its path. iSpike’s enzymes act on straight chains of glucose molecules as well as at branch points. This encourages even higher insulin spikes than wouldn’t be possible with regular foods or garden-variety mass gainers. High-speed BPI, surface area enhanced carbohydrates and a multi-action enzyme system – you’d think this combination would be enough to create some major insulin spikes leading to equally major mass gains. But MuscleMeds went a step further by giving iSpike a novel amino acid that has been described by scientists as having insulinotropic properties. This novel compound acts as the “gatekeeper” for insulin’s path to muscle tissue. Now every serving of CARNIVOR MASS has the potential to deliver that much more of an anabolic impact. Insulin Signal Amplification Once insulin is released into the bloodstream, it has to find its way into muscle tissue where it can transmit anabolic signals. If you’ve never heard of adiponectin, you’re not alone. Scientists believe that adiponectin may function as a gatekeeper, allowing more insulin to reach your muscles upon entering the bloodstream. This is critical if you want the calories you eat to be used to build muscle mass and not be stored as fat. The botanical extract ingredient in CARNIVOR MASS was shown to have a positive effect on adiponectin levels which may result in greater muscle gain. Providing iSpike with its second and third layers of insulin signal amplifying support is a patent-pending mineral known as Chromium 454 (Cr454) and D-pinitol (a cyclitol). These two compounds take over where insulin leaves off, opening up even more “doors” on the surface of your muscle cells through which glucose can penetrate. In vitro study results show that Cr454 increases glucose uptake into human skeletal muscle cells by an impressive 300%. With more glucose entering your muscle cells in the presence of insulin, even stronger anabolic signals are possible, which support faster speeds of glycogen replenishment and mass building.

If there is one hard certainty to be salvaged from the latest wave of Brexit froth, it is that the British government is still more preoccupied negotiating with itself than the EU.
Downing Street was quick to knock down weekend reports that it had made up its mind how much money it was prepared to pay the EU when Britain leaves. But the seemingly well-sourced Sunday Telegraph figure of £36bn was endorsed by Brexit-watchers with impeccable Whitehall contacts and was far from convincingly dismissed when journalists pressed further in Monday’s lobby briefing.
Government to release key Brexit policy papers in next few weeks Read more
Instead it appears that the briefings and counter-briefings follow the pattern of that other summer squall over how long Britain wishes to remain in a transition phase. In both cases, politicians and civil servants in the UK are debating among themselves as a prelude to more meaningful talks with Brussels this autumn.
A series of position papers due next week will hopefully flush their differences out into the open and start to commit the country to a less jelly-like negotiating stance. Either way, until the details of a unified British offer on money or transition are tested against what EU negotiators are actually prepared to accept, it is wise to take all the furious spray in Westminster with a pinch of salt.
Nonetheless, there is another similarity between the back and forth over the divorce bill and the Westminster row over transition. In both cases, Britain increasingly looks like it wants to play for time to soften the political and economic impact of Brexit back home.
The longer it can agree a transition that looks a lot like EU membership, the more time there is for businesses to adjust to life outside the single market and customs union. Crucially, however, it could also take the political sting out of having to write a large cheque to those dreaded Brussels bureaucrats.
A transition phase of three years, such as that proposed by the chancellor, Philip Hammond, would take Britain comfortably through to the end of the current EU budget cycle in 2019-20. The bulk of the up to €100bn (£90m) currently demanded as a financial settlement relates to unfunded commitments known as reste à liquider (RAL). If meeting these obligations can be disguised as part of the transition arrangements rather than an exit bill, then compromise may be possible.
Brexit phrasebook: a guide to the talks' key terms Read more
For this reason, the transition talks will be critical. The EU negotiator Michel Barnier currently has no mandate from member states to discuss post-Brexit arrangements until progress is made on the exit arrangements. Britain does not want to cede ground until it can be sure a business-friendly trade deal is in sight, or at least cushioned by a transition phase.
Yet those familiar with the thinking of the Brexit secretary, David Davis, say he expects to bridge the impasse by agreeing progress on both fronts simultaneously. Britain may only be negotiating with itself for now, but there are hints of how it eventually hopes to persuade Brussels to go along with the plan too. | positive |

WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans filibustered another one of President Barack Obama's nominees on Tuesday: Nina Pillard, a Georgetown University law professor and a noncontroversial nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Senate voted 56 to 41 on a procedural motion for Pillard, falling short of the 60 votes needed to bring her confirmation vote to the floor. Only two Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine), sided with Democrats to let her proceed.
Republicans readily admit their opposition to Pillard isn't about her. In fact, they don't really have a problem with any of Obama's picks for the D.C. Circuit, the second most powerful court in the nation. They just don't want him to fill its three vacancies. Many of them say the court isn't busy enough to warrant filling its empty seats; others make the counterintuitive argument that Obama is "court-packing" by filling routine vacancies. But both of those arguments gloss over the fact that the president, any president, has a constitutional duty to fill empty court seats, and barring extraordinary circumstances, the Senate is supposed to give nominees a vote.
Pillard's filibuster is the latest example of how the Senate isn't holding to that standard anymore. Not only is she the third noncontroversial nominee that Republicans have filibustered in the last two weeks, but she is now the 20th Obama nominee who is either currently being blocked or was blocked and ultimately withdrew from the process. Those blockages cause a logjam that reverberates through the judiciary and the executive branch, as positions have gone unfilled at crisis levels dating back to 2007.
The Huffington Post crunched some data and found that, as of Tuesday, 13 judicial nominees have been returned to Obama and were not renominated or withdrew their nominations, four judicial nominees aren't moving because GOP senators won't let them advance in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and three other nominees (two judicial, one executive) were recently filibustered for reasons that had nothing to do with their qualifications.
The diversity of the group is hard to overlook. Ten of the sidelined judicial nominees are women, two are openly gay and nine are minorities (seven are African American, one is Asian American and one is Native American). The lone executive nominee being blocked right now, Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.), is African American.
Democrats have noted that Republicans keep filibustering female nominees to the D.C. Circuit. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) wondered aloud on the Senate floor "whether there is a double standard" when it comes to putting women on that court. Before Pillard, Republicans also blocked Patricia Millett and Caitlin Halligan.
"Caitlin Halligan, who practiced before the U.S. Supreme Court, was the Solicitor General for the State of New York, why block her? Why block Patty Millett, who worked in the Solicitor General's office under both administrations?" Kaine asked Thursday. "Why block Nina Pillard? Nina Pillard was the appellate attorney before the United States Supreme Court to argue for the need to admit women students to the Virginia Military Institute."
"Another woman filibustered ... another woman stopped in her tracks," Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said after Millett's blocked vote. "This has to end. We've been making so much progress for women in the judicial system."
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, meanwhile, are fuming about Republicans blocking Watt's confirmation to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency. They note that the filibuster of Watt, an 11-term congressman, marks the first time the Senate has denied a Cabinet post to a sitting member of Congress since 1843.
“What happened today has only occurred once in the history of this Congress,” Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio), chairwoman of the caucus, said after Watt was blocked. “This is a disgrace to this body and a disservice to the American people.”
Senate Republicans have taken offense at the suggestion that they're blocking nominees for being women or minorities.
"When [Democrats] run out of legitimate arguments, their last line of defense is to accuse Republicans of opposing nominees based upon gender or race. It's an old and it's a well-worn card," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Tuesday. "Those types of attacks are beneath this institution."
Here's a look at Obama's 20 nominees who are still waiting for a confirmation vote, or who gave up waiting and pulled out of the process entirely.

Nina Pillard, nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
Obama nominated Pillard, a Georgetown University law professor, in June 2013. She was confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in September 2013, in a party-line vote. Republicans filibustered her confirmation vote on Nov. 12. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has vowed to bring her vote back to the floor.
Patricia Millett, nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
Obama nominated Millett, a top Supreme Court appellate lawyer, in June 2013. She was confirmed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in August 2013, in a party-line vote. Republicans filibustered her confirmation vote on Oct. 31. Reid has vowed to bring her vote back to the floor.
Mel Watt, nominee to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency
Obama nominated Watt, an 11-term congressman, in May 2013. Republicans filibustered his confirmation vote on Oct. 31. Reid has vowed to bring his vote back to the floor.
Jill Pryor, nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Obama nominated Pryor, a Georgia attorney, in February 2012. Both of her home state senators, Republicans Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, have refused to sign off on her nomination and allow the Senate Judiciary Committee to give her a hearing, as is custom. She is still pending before the committee.
William Thomas, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
Obama nominated Thomas, a judge for Florida's 11th Judicial Circuit, in November 2012. His Republican home state senator, Marco Rubio, said in September 2013 that he will block Thomas from getting a hearing, even though he recommended him for the post in the first place. If confirmed, Thomas would be the first openly gay black male federal judge.
Alison Lee, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina
Obama nominated Lee, a judge in the Fifth Judicial Circuit, in June 2013. Both of her home state senators, Republicans Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, have cited "concerns" about her nomination, but have given no details. She is currently pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Jennifer May-Parker, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina
May-Parker, the chief of the appellate division of the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of North Carolina, was nominated in June 2013. Her Republican home state senator, Richard Burr, is preventing her from getting a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. If confirmed, May-Parker would fill the longest standing district court vacancy in the country.
NOMINEES RETURNED AND NOT RE-NOMINATED, OR WITHDRAWN
Victoria Nourse, nominee to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
Obama nominated Nourse, a University of Wisconsin law professor, in July 2010. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) blocked her vote in committee, however, and in January 2012, Nourse asked Obama to withdraw her nomination. She later told a colleague of the experience, "The system is broken."
Stephen Six, nominee to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals
Obama nominated Six, a former Kansas attorney general, in March 2011. His two home state senators, Republicans Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts, blocked his nomination from moving in the Senate Judiciary Committee. His nomination was returned to the president in December 2011, and he was not renominated.
Michael Charles Green, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York
Green, who was the District Attorney for Monroe County, N.Y. at the time, was nominated in January 2011. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to progress his nomination in June 2011, but he didn't move after that. His nomination was returned to Obama in December 2011, and he was not renominated.
Arvo Mikkanen, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma
Obama nominated Mikkanen, an attorney in the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma, in February 2011. He was rated "unanimously qualified" by the American Bar Association. His two home state senators, Republicans Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe, blocked his nomination from moving in the Senate Judiciary Committee. His nomination was returned to Obama in December 2011, and he was not renominated.
Natasha Silas, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
The president nominated Silas, a staff attorney at the Federal Defender Program for the Northern District of Georgia, in January 2011. Her two home state senators, Republicans Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, blocked her nomination from moving in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Her nomination expired in December 2011 and it was not resubmitted.
Louis Butler, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin
Obama nominated Butler, who was the first African American to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in September 2009. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) put a hold on Butler's nomination, which prevented him from moving in the Senate Judiciary Committee. His nomination was eventually returned to the president in December 2011, and he was not renominated.
Linda Walker, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia
Walker was nominated in January 2011; she was already a magistrate judge on that court. She was paired with Silas as part of a package deal on nominees. Republican Sens. Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss supported Walker getting a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but did not support Silas, so neither moved. Walker's nomination was returned to the president in December 2011 and was not resubmitted.
Goodwin Liu, nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Obama nominated Liu, who was the associate dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law at the time, in February 2010. His nomination languished for over a year, and in May 2011, Republicans filibustered his confirmation vote. Later that month, Liu withdrew his name from consideration. He told Obama, "with no possibility of an up-or-down vote on the horizon, my family and I have decided that it is time for us to regain the ability to make plans for the future." He went on to become a justice on the California Supreme Court.
Caitlin Halligan, nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
The president nominated Halligan, the Solicitor General for New York, in September 2010. Republicans filibustered her in December 2011. Obama renominated her in June 2012, but her nomination was sent back to him August 2012 when Republicans refused to hold over her nomination during the Senate's summer recess. The president renominated Halligan for the third time in September 2012, but her nomination never went anywhere. Obama officially withdrew her nomination in March 2013.
Robert Chatigny, nominee to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals Chatigny, a federal district judge in Connecticut, was nominated in February 2010. His nomination received a unanimous rating of "well qualified" from the American Bar Association, and in June 2010, he cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee in a party-line vote. He never got a Senate vote and his nomination was returned to Obama at the end of the 111th Congress. Per Chatigny's request, he was not renominated.
Edward DuMont, nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
Obama nominated DuMont, a partner with the law firm WilmerHale, in April 2010. DuMont's nomination went nowhere for 18 months as Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, held up his vote. In November 2011, DuMont asked Obama to withdraw his name, indicating that GOP senators were refusing to let him get a committee hearing. If confirmed, DuMont would have been the first openly gay U.S. appeals court judge.
Charles Bernard Day, nominee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland
Day, a magistrate judge in Maryland, was nominated in July 2010. Obama withdrew the nomination in October 2011 after it went nowhere for more than a year. Day's home state senators, Democrats Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin, said Republicans were behind Day not getting a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. | positive |
With a heavy heart it saddens us to share that our beloved son, Quinton Buehrens, passed away on the 28th day of April 2015. He was 16 years old. The thought had honestly never crossed our minds to carry life insurance on our child...your child should out live you.Anyone can tell you that Quinn was a kind soul and had a big smile. He liked action movies, diving, paintball, pizza and talking about politics. His father always told him he could be president of the United States of America one day. Quinn was, by all definitions, a "gamer" with a photographic memory and if tacos were on the menu you had better double the batch.We are all shocked by this tragic unexpected death and sadly not financially prepared for it so in lieu of flowers we are asking for donations to help with the funeral services. | positive |
Alexander Gustafsson is weeks away from another opportunity to capture the UFC light heavyweight championship. He’ll face off with Daniel Cormier in the main event of UFC 192, which takes place Oct. 3 at Houston’s Toyota Center.
Gustafsson (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) and Cormier (16-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) stand to make a good deal of money when they battle over the title. But a privileged position in the payout hierarchy hasn’t softened Gustafsson’s position on UFC pay. When he sat down with MMAjunkie he named pay issues as the primary thing he would address were he in charge of the promotion.
“Pay the fighters a lot more money,” Gustafsson said. “For all the hard work and the sacrifices fighters generally do to fight, I think they’re a little bit underpaid. The same thing with the Reebok deal, too. I don’t have anything negative to say about it. I just think, why take away from fighters who haven’t established themselves in the organization? They have a hard time already, so why take away the small sponsors so they can pay the rent and pay their bills? Why take that away too? Really squeezing that last money from the fighters that haven’t been established yet. I think it’s sad to see.”
Reebok’s exclusive sponsorship deal of the UFC has ruffled many feathers in the MMA world. Fighters are required to wear Reebok gear on fight week and fight night, with no third-party sponsor apparel allowed. With Reebok payouts based on the number of fights the fighter has had for promotions owned by UFC parent company Zuffa, less established fighters have been at risk of taking a major financial hit.
Less money for fighters who are starting out could make the sport less attractive to athletic youths attempting to determine what direction to take their gifts.
“Of course (it makes the sport less attractive),” Gustafsson said. “It’s hard as it is. Some of them don’t have a choice, they have to do the sport to survive. Some of them don’t. But I still think that the more support you can have from local sponsors, the more time you have to put in the gym and the more the sport will develop. It’s just that this Reebok deal is not going to help the fighters.”

Generally the only kind of material I like to put on our website is content that we have created ourselves, whether that be stories, photographs, or whatever. However, I have decided to make an exception for this content, on account of the fact that it is a WORLDWIDE INTERNET EXCLUSIVE!!!
The pictures featured below are scans of a publication released in 1951 by American Radio Publications, Inc. through the local AM talk radio station KVI. The Seattle Civil Defense Manual covers all sorts of important and useful information that all local citizens apparently needed to know in order to survive in the harrowing times known as the fifties. A copy was unearthed by an industrious and awesome coworker of mine as he cleaned out his garage. He loaned it to me for a weekend and gave me permission to scan it and put it online.
I’m sure there would be nearly no end to the clever commentary I could provide to go along with this material, but I have decided to let the publication speak for itself. Please note that the contents of this publication should not be construed as reflecting (positively or negatively) on the present-day KVI, since they most likely have little connection (outside of the name) to the KVI of 1951.
Click on a page to open a new window with the full version. The full-size scans are somewhat large, so horizontal and vertical scrolling will probably be necessary. Alternatively, you may download the full manual for later viewing. High resolution, non-watermarked TIFF files are also available upon request. | positive |
Grad-TTS: A Diffusion Probabilistic Model for Text-to-Speech Grad-TTS: A Diffusion Probabilistic Model for Text-to-Speech Authors: Vadim Popov, Ivan Vovk, Vladimir Gogoryan, Tasnima Sadekova, Mikhail Kudinov ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Paper on Arxiv: link. Official open-sourced implementation: link. Note: HiFi-GAN is used as vocoder. Also, listen to the audios using headphones for better experience. Abstract Voiced by our Grad-TTS model: Recently, denoising diffusion probabilistic models and generative score matching have shown high potential in modelling complex data distributions while stochastic calculus has provided a unified point of view on these techniques allowing for flexible inference schemes. In this paper we introduce Grad-TTS, a novel text-to-speech model with score-based decoder producing mel-spectrograms by gradually transforming noise predicted by encoder and aligned with text input by means of Monotonic Alignment Search. The framework of stochastic differential equations helps us to generalize conventional diffusion probabilistic models to the case of reconstructing data from noise with different parameters and allows to make this reconstruction flexible by explicitly controlling trade-off between sound quality and inference speed. Subjective human evaluation shows that Grad-TTS is competitive with state-of-the-art text-to-speech approaches in terms of Mean Opinion Score. Illustration of mel-spectrogram reconstruction process for 50 refinement steps: Note: Grad-TTS-50 model is considered. In this section we show intermediate mel-spectrogram states from score-based decoder in order to illustrate how reverse diffusion works. Text: Here are the match lineups for the Colombia Haiti match. Decoder state Mel-spectrogram sample Vocoded audio Encoder outputs (mean of terminal distribution) After sampling from terminal distribution After 10 iterations After 20 iterations After 30 iterations After 40 iterations After 50 iterations Comparison of generalized DPM vs. standard DPM: Our generalized DPM framework, where we use text encoder outputs µ as mean of decoder terminal distribution, results in the lower number of reverse diffusion steps (number of backward ODE solver iterations) necessary for high-quality mel-spectrogram generation. To show the difference we trained additional Grad-TTS model reconstructing mels from standard normal terminal distribution N(0, I). Note: Grad-TTS decoder neural network, which models gradients of data log-density, is still conditioned on text encoder outputs for both models. Text: Does the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog? There were others less successful.

“So I set out to find the answer. I interviewed dozens of customers to get a sense of how Factset operated. Piecing together fragments of information from all these conversations, I eventually put together a clear picture of how Factset had designed their business. Here’s what I learned.
“The business information marketplace in which both Factset and my client, Data House, were operating involved close to a thousand major customers. But within that arena, to maintain a strong growth curve, Factset needed to capture only twenty new customers per year. Knowing this, they developed a powerful approach to make that happen.
“Once Factset identified a company as a potential customer for their information services, they’d send a team of two or three people to work there. They would spend two or three months, sometimes longer, learning everything they could about the customer—how they ran their business, how their systems worked (and didn’t work), and what they really cared about. Based on this genuine knowledge of the customer, Factset then developed customized information products and services tailored to the specific characteristics and economics of the account. Once they landed the account, they spent a ton of time integrating their product into the customer’s systems. During this process, Factset’s revenues were tiny and their costs were huge. If you looked at a monthly P&L for a particular account, you’d see they were losing a ton of money. Costs of $10,000 might be charged against revenues of $3,000.”
…“After three or four months, Factset’s products would be woven into the daily flow of the customer’s operations. Their software would be debugged and working fine. Now Factset didn’t need three people working fulltime on the account. One person could maintain the service, probably part-time. And as the word spread among the client’s employees about how powerful Factset’s data was and how effectively Factset’s service had been customized to their specific needs, they began taking more and more advantage of it. Factset’s monthly costs fell from $10K to $8K, while monthly revenues started to grow, from $3K to $5K to $12K.
. ..“What were Factset’s margins?”
“How much do you think?”
…Steve grabbed a pencil and began jotting down numbers. Let’s see, he considered. Twenty-four million dollars in revenue generated by a staff of about forty people. How much would payroll costs be? These folks would probably be well paid. Some might make just sixty or seventy thousand, but a bunch would be in six figures. Steve seemed to recall hearing that benefits usually amounted to about fifty percent of salaries. So even well rewarded, the people would cost no more than, say, $200,000 apiece, counting salary, benefits, the whole nine yards. He multiplied. That makes eight million in payroll.
“How much would overhead be?” Steve wondered aloud.
“Use ten percent,” Zhao suggested.
Okay, figure ten percent of revenue for overhead—$2.4 million. Then there would be licensing fees for the rights to the information being sold.
Those might amount to another ten percent. Throw in a few more points for other costs . . . “I’ll guess forty percent operating margin—about ten million bucks, all told.”
Zhao smiled. “Very, very close.”
“So Data House came nowhere near what Factset accomplished.”
“That’s true.”
“I don’t get it. You laid out the whole plan for them, didn’t you? Are you saying that Data House didn’t choose to follow the winning strategy, even after they knew it would work?”
“About right.”
Steve shook his head. “Wow. I guess that must have been one of the worst organizations you’ve ever encountered. Did you ever work with any other company that simply refused to be successful?”
“Actually, it happens all the time. I can give you the complete recipe for the secret sauce, and the chances are good that you still won’t use it.”
“That’s strange. Why visit the doctor, then ignore his advice?”
“It’s a bit of a mystery. There’s probably no one reason why people seem to prefer failure to success. We know that change can be psychologically threatening—that’s part of the answer. In the case of Data House, they may have realized that following the Factset model would have taken a lot of hard work—much more than they were accustomed to. That’s part of the answer, too. But I think the ultimate explanation is a simple one. To succeed in business, you have to have a genuine, honest-to-goodness interest in profitability. And most people don’t.”
Zhao leaned back and spread his hands wide. “That’s all there is to it.”
Can that really be true? he wondered. It’s hard to believe. Steve frowned.he wondered.
“That’s all for now. Today’s profit model was a simple one. But what is it, Steve? What’s the idea?”
Steve thought for a moment. Then he said, “Invest time and energy in learning all there is to know about your customers. Then use that knowledge to create specific solutions for them. Lose money for a short time. Make money for a long time.”
The Art of Profitability by Adrian Slywotzky Fromby Adrian Slywotzky
profit model? What are the distinguishing characteristics of this business model, of thismodel?
Intimate knowledge of the customer; and (2) customization of products and services into (3) integrated solutions that address (4) the customer’s mission-critical problems (5) in such a way that these solutions are woven into the daily fabric of the customer’s business operations. (1)of the customer; and (2)of products and services into (3)that address (4) the customer’s(5) in such a way that these solutions areof the customer’s business operations.
Once all five components of the model have been locked in, it is very hard to compete against the incumbent, especially in a slow-growing, smallish market.
It can command very high margins with impunity and earn returns far above its cost of capital. It is a moated enterprise, a franchise. It would take a revolutionary leap of some kind, or sustained bout of self-abuse, to threaten it. You can count on its earnings and you can calculate its earnings power value.
Despite the everyone-is-special-in-their-own-special-way heterogeneity of business, profit models, like plot lines in fiction or film, recur with surprising regularity. Understanding the elements and structure of a profit model well gives one the opportunity to recognize it where others may not. If one understands this Customer Solutions Profit model, any company employing it is in one's circle of competence. Isn’t that why Buffett bought IBM ?
Classifying companies by profit model is an effective way of gaining insight into the strengths and weaknesses of an investment case. It is far more useful, in my view, than the headline categorizations of industrial organization popularized by Michael Porter and reformulated somewhat by Bruce Greenwald: “economies of scale”, “brand power”, “switching costs”, and so forth, very easily deteriorate into hollow, vacuous bumper sticker slogans.
Consider now a business like Howdens Joinery, listed in the UK. I will quote from the Chairman’s essay at the front of its 2011 Annual Report:
“250,000 local builders hold credit accounts with Howdens because we provide the products and services they require in order to run a successful business of their own. Through our national network of 509 depots we offer the builder a range of well-designed, well-made kitchens and associated joinery and hardware, all of which is available all the time in every depot. We sell to the builder on a trade-only basis, with a confidential discount that allows him to determine his margin and a net monthly account that gives him the ability to manage his cash flow requirements.
Howdens has acquired national scale, but it remains a local business, serving local builders who do not want to waste time travelling long distances or dealing with impersonal, centralised operations. Each depot runs its own customer accounts; employees are engaged locally; and profit-sharing is calculated locally, not centrally. Howdens’ customers expect to see familiar faces in their depot and rely on people they know to offer them sound advice.
A typical Howdens’ depot occupies around 10,000 square feet and employs about a dozen people. The depot is a low-cost operation, located on a trading estate rather than a high street, with convenient access and parking for the builder. Rent averages £5 per square foot and the typical depot fit-out cost is around £170,000.
The depot is able to keep everything in stock, and Howdens is able to refine stock levels, because each depot manager can use local knowledge to tailor re-order requirements to suit the needs of his or her customers...
The results we are reporting for 2011 reflect the inherent profitability of the business, and its capacity to generate cash, which has allowed us to grow and develop as well as meet our legacy obligations…
I’ll start at the beginning, with the Howdens’ model, which is based on a number of well-defined elements.
First, and principally, it is trade only, which means a constant focus on serving one customer – the small builder. We must not forget that we supply builders, who in turn supply people like us. Only Howdens can offer: a well-designed range of rigid cabinets, frontals and joinery that are easy to install, saving the builder time and therefore money; a quality of construction that means our kitchens do not break, look good and work well, saving more time and money (we call it “fitability”); a confidential discount that allows builders to determine their own margin and make a living; and a net monthly account that allows them to manage their cash flow.
Second, we promise small builders everywhere that all our ranges are available locally, all the time, so they can pick up a complete kitchen when they need it, and they can finish their job and get paid by their customers, which means they can pay us.
Third, Howdens is a local business. We have 509 local depots, because builders do not want to waste time driving to and fro – they want to get on with the job. Their account is with their local depot. The depot staff know what each account customer needs. And so there are no misunderstandings, and no call centres, which saves everybody a lot of time, as well as money. “Local” also means that each Howdens’ depot is fully accountable for its own performance. Depot managers hire their own staff, refine their own stock to suit local needs, market it themselves to their own customers, and adjust their own pricing to suit local conditions. They are wholly responsible for their own sales and their own margin. Depot managers and staff are all incentivised to drive more sales and more margin, as efficiently as possible. Their bonus is based on a share of their locally generated profit less any stock loss – there is virtually no stock loss. It is therefore not surprising that depot managers and staff are keen, willing and able to open new accounts and make sure that they trade.
Last year they opened 76,000 new accounts, which equated to 38,000 net new accounts in just one year. The total number of credit accounts now stands at almost 250,000. On any given day, you can observe the combination of around £80 million of stock, spread across 509 depots, with 1,000 kitchen planners capable of planning up to 3,000 kitchens per day, 600 depot-based telesales people, 700 sales reps out on the road looking for new customers, and 250,000 existing customers also out on the road looking for their next job to be getting on with – all of which makes Howdens a business to be reckoned with.
Fourth, we run Howdens as a focused and therefore low-cost operation, with high volumes and predictable sales. We have invested in our own manufacturing capability to ensure better service, greater efficiency, and no waste – whether of money, people, process or space. Our trade depots are typically 10,000 square feet in size, with rent of around £5 per square foot. They are located on trading estates – not retail parks. We do not have glossy showrooms. Our depots open early in the morning and are shut on Saturday afternoons and Sundays. So altogether, they are not like High Street retailers at all, and their costs are very different too.
As I have remarked before, the Howdens’ model only works if it is implemented as a whole, which means all of the elements are non-negotiable emphasis added]. Our model was designed when the business began in 1995. Its aim is to enable the business to find solutions to complexity efficiently and profitably, because we are engaged in a highly complex activity – that of getting kitchens into homes and making sure they work…
]. Our model was designed when the business began in 1995. Its aim is to enable the business to find solutions to complexity efficiently and profitably, because we are engaged in a highly complex activity – that of getting kitchens into homes and making sure they work…
We are seeing an increased level of trust from builders keen to benefit from our knowledge, as well as from the other aspects of our offer, including the attractive terms I have described, and our planning facilities, which are second to none. As we have always said, builders follow the work and right now, proportionately, we are seeing more money spent by the private sector and less by the public sector.
I mentioned at the start of this review that continuing investment had been a critical factor in our ability to outperform the market and to continue to take market share in these challenging times. But what we have invested in? The short answer is that we have invested in serving one customer. That means making sure that we can offer our customer both service and efficiency, which together are the drivers of margin and market share. In order to improve service, we have invested in customer awareness. We provide each of our 250,000 account customers with catalogues, videos, samples and plans of kitchens, worktops, joinery and flooring to support their sales. We have also invested in focused advertising aimed at the end-user or consumer, rather than at our customer, the small builder, because we have observed that this helps the builder to market the whole range of Howdens’ products to an expanding population of aware consumers…
Furthermore, manufacturing supports our reputation with our customers. Builders do not like surprises with product.
They prefer to buy from manufacturers, and feel they know what they are getting, from people with credibility and a track record. By manufacturing product ourselves, we are also investing in supporting the margin of the business as a whole – and growing it, compared to others – because of the inherent efficiencies of not producing for anyone else. There is also the matter of security of supply. This is extremely important to a business that makes over 3.5 million cabinets and 860,000 worktops last year. We have also invested in the systems that control the manufacturing process, and by so doing have supported our ability to increase productivity and reduce waste. For example, we have invested in robots at the end of the production line, which have helped us gain more efficiency in the smooth transition from manufacturing to warehouse. Our investment in systems underpins our sales activity too. For example, we have invested in the latest CAD technology that means we can offer the builder an industry leading design service to support his sale, and he can fit a properly planned kitchen as quickly and efficiently as possible…
We know the importance of vigilance and we monitor everything, all the time – sales, margin, stock, cash, and the performance of every part of the business. In this market, we need to be quick on our feet. The way Howdens is organised means we are very close to where sales happen, and that is a source of competitive advantage. Vigilance also means responsiveness in every area. If a depot has an IT problem, we see it the moment it happens, and will set about fixing it immediately. If a customer account does not trade for 15 months, we close it, so that we keep a clean account base and know that we are tracking only active customers. We control credit by means of our nett monthly account, which is tightly managed, so that our total cost of credit, including debt recovery and bad debts, still remains less than 1.5% of sales.
What this all adds up to is that Howdens outperforms because we are clear about what we are doing. We design and build a professional product, with an up-to-the-minute design, that requires a professional fit, and we sell it to professional fitters who can go and pick it up from local stock day in, day out; and because we give them a truly reliable service, and a confidential discount, they can make a living out of it.
Intimate knowledge of the customer; and (2) customization of products and services into (3) integrated solutions that address (4) the customer’s mission-critical problems (5) in such a way that these solutions are woven into the daily fabric of the customer’s business operations. You might recognize the customer solution profit model in that opening essay. (1)of the customer; and (2)of products and services into (3)that address (4) the customer’s(5) in such a way that these solutions areof the customer’s business operations.
It is a conscious, coherent, comprehensive, and sophisticated business model that should allow it to earn returns that are far above its cost of capital and well in excess of that earned by other home and construction supply companies operating in the UK market.
It has much more in common with IBM and Factset Research Systems than it does with Home Retail Group, Kingfisher, or even Travis Perkins. It would take something special, something other than the hum-drum of daily competition, to knock Howdens down.
And if you recognize Howdens as an effective, successful example of the customer solutions profit model, you will have an insight into the investment case if its shares fall.
In May of 2012, for example, Howdens’ shares were priced at 109p, or at half its current earnings power, even though it boasts 60% gross margins, 22% after-tax operating margins, and 20% returns on invested capital. Investors looking only at its financial statements would worry that such performance was unsustainable. An intelligent, prepared investor , on the other hand, would be thinking of the quality of the underlying business, as though a businessman considering a private purchase of the whole company. And that investor would have an advantage over the market.
This post is the first of twenty or so in a series.

Tuition fees in England for full-time undergraduate courses from 2012.
Universities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also be able to raise their fees from 2012, but their home students will not be affected.
Here is a list of what different universities are charging.
Universities in England:
Universities in Wales: Welsh students' fees above £3,465 are paid by the Welsh assembly wherever they study in the UK. But students from England, Scotland and Northern Ireland will have to pay the full cost.
Universities in Scotland: Scottish students do not have to pay fees, but universities can charge those from elsewhere in the UK up to £9,000 (although the Welsh Assembly will subsidise costs for Welsh students). Students coming to study in Scotland from European Union countries outside of the UK will not have to pay fees there.
Universities in Northern Ireland: Fees for students from Northern Ireland will remain at about £3,500 a year, but students from Scotland, England and Wales will be charged higher fees. Students from the Republic of Ireland and from EU countries outside of the UK will pay the same as students from Northern Ireland. Welsh students will be subsidised and will pay the same as students from Northern Ireland.

On Monday, representatives from a community in active struggle against state sanctioned killing, violence and repression met with the President of the United States of America. Not “civil rights leaders”, not “activists”, not “spokespeople”. This wasn’t a group of “Beltway Blacks”, this wasn’t a delegation of “respectable negroes”, this wasn’t an assemblage of “yes men and women”.
“We” were from Missouri (Ashley Yates, Brittany Packnett, T Dubb-O, Rasheen Aldridge); Ohio (James Hayes); New York (Jose Lopez); and Florida (me). It all happened quickly and, yes, we all were skeptical.
We all knew that the White House stood to benefit more from this meeting than we did. We knew that our movement families would fear the almighty co-opt and a political press photo-op. We have been underestimated at every juncture, sometimes from all sides. But this was an invitation that you accept – period.
The invitation was extended with a clear goal: the president wanted to hear about what was going on around the country. We answered that call with clarity and brutal honesty.
No amount of rehearsal or choreography can truly prepare you for the tense moments standing outside the door of the Oval Office. Nerves raced through my body. I looked at the faces in our delegation. If anxiety was present in any of them, it didn’t show.
The door opened, we sat down, exchanged cordialities, and went to work.
Brittany, director of St Louis Teach for America, opened and recounted a speech she delivered to her students, on the eighth day of August, imploring them to stand tall and be affirmed leaders only to find that, after the ninth day of August, none of that mattered in the eyes of the state.
“The first time I was teargassed was on the streets of St Louis with an eighth grader,” Brittany said.
Rasheen, who at 20 years old is the youngest member of the Ferguson Commission, told the president that his fight didn’t begin on the day Michael Brown died – that he had been committed to the struggle of poor people long before the state killed another unarmed black man.
T Dubb-O, the artist, activist and community voice, laid out with pain and poetic prose how life in St Louis isn’t life but an existence of survival, where none of the “hope” and “progress” of which the president spoke is evident at all.
“I’m tired of rapping about pain and survival,” T Dubb-O said.
José Lopez spoke of a 10-year-old in New York, one of the over 17,000 members of Make the Road New York, who – at a school rally in support of the police – refused to celebrate, who spoke about the fear that they put in her heart. This 10-year-old girl now faces expulsion.
James Hayes came from Ohio to the Oval Office, and he brought John Crawford and Tamir Rice along with him – delivering their eulogy in his introduction.
I brought my mother, my father and my four brothers: Jordan Davis, Israel Hernandez, West Englewood and Trayvon Martin.
Ashley brought home our tale of two countries – of the “other America” – telling the president that women – women like Sasha and Malia – are standing on the front lines, facing the full fury of an oppressive state.
In the streets, Ashley said, “Silence is betrayal.”
Facebook Twitter Pinterest “What made me concerned was the degree to which they feel that they are not heard,” Obama said of his meeting with young leaders, including the author, at far right. “What made me really encouraged was how clear their voices were when they were heard.” Photograph: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
We told President Obama that we were not the “People’s Spokespeople”. We told him that we had neither the power, positions, nor desires to stop the eruptions in the streets and that they would continue until a radical change happened in this country. We told him that we had no faith in anything, church or state. We told him that the country was on the brink and that nothing short of major capitulations at all levels of the government to the demands of the people could prevent it. Straight talk like that.
We asked for the president to utilize his pulpit to spark the governmental culture shift that this movement calls for. We told him to end the Department of Defense’s 1033 Program, to end federal funding to police departments with histories of discrimination, harassment and murder. We beseeched President Obama to invest in community-based alternatives to policing and incarceration and challenged him on the lack of data on the state’s systematic and underreported killings of unarmed black and Latino people.
He listened. Intently. He responded passionately. He agreed with many of our points and offered his take on the current State of the Union. He presented the reforms that have dominated the discourse in the hours after our meeting. He cautioned us against demanding too big and stressed gradualism. He counseled us that the wheels of progress turn sluggishly and reminded us of the progress that got us to this point: a room full of black folk in the Oval Office. He asked for our help, harkening back to his organizing days when, in the streets of Chicago, the cries of the people shifted the landscape. We debated on the power of the vote and the lack of faith in the Democratic party.
We did not budge.
Only time will tell whether the stories of Renisha, Tamir, Mike, Eric, John, Aiyana and others will shape the course of history in policy, practice or culture. No one knows whether our “impactful” meeting with this nation’s first black president will yield any change that people in Ferguson or Flint or Chicago can feel. It is yet to be seen, though one can hypothesize, what will come of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing.
We walked out of that meeting unbought and unbowed. We held no punches. There was no code-switching or bootlicking; no concessions, politicking or posturing. The movement got this meeting. Unrest earned this invite, and we can’t stop.
If we don’t get what we came for, we will shut it down. President Obama knows that and we know it. No meeting can stop that. | positive |

Having won the last five league titles, Bayern Munich are the team to beat this season, but can they swell the trophy cabinet both domestically and in Europe?
bundesliga.com weighs up the Bavarians' chances…
Watch: Bayern's top 10 goals in 2016/17
Transfer ins and outs
As ever, the Reds boast a formidable squad of talent, but there is no doubting the experience they lost in the summer with the retirement of Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso, two players with close to 1,300 senior club appearances between them.
Corentin Tolisso (Lyon) has joined for a club record fee, Sebastian Rudy and Niklas Süle (both Hoffenheim) have added to Bayern's defensive options, while Kingsley Coman has signed on a permanent deal from Juventus.
The marquee signing in attack is undoubtedly Colombian superstar James Rodriguez, brought in on a two-year loan from Real Madrid, while Douglas Costa has left for Juve, Holger Badstuber has joined Stuttgart and Serge Gnabry has been loaned to Hoffenheim.

Coach
Ancelotti met expectations by lifting the league title in his maiden season in Bavaria – winning the title in a fourth European league, it should be noted – but having thrice lifted the Champions League, he will also be targeting a sixth European crown for Bayern this term.
Tactically astute and possessing a calm, measured approach that generates respect from his players, fellow coaches and opposition supporters, the Italian is a serial winner with a wealth of top-level experience and a talent for man-management.
Watch: Ancelotti shows Franck Ribery his tender side
Star man
Who to pick? After scoring 77 goals in 96 Bundesliga matches for Bayern, including 30 last season, Robert Lewandowski springs to mind, while Thiago Alcantara excelled in an attacking midfield role last term.
Manuel Neuer and Jerome Boateng are both working their way back to fitness but will surely be key players for the club, and do not discount Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. The long-serving duo have a combined age of 77 but remain as dynamic and deadly as they were a decade ago.
Fans can also expect much from Thomas Müller, who may have a point to prove after a relatively meagre haul of five league goals last term, and of course new arrival James, whose most prolific spell of his career to date came under Ancelotti at Real Madrid in 2014/15.
Watch: Relive all of Lewandowski's goals in 2016/17
Key dates
Leverkusen at home on the opening day is an attractive fixture, but the sternest tests will likely come on consecutive weekends when the Reds host Leipzig and travel to Borussia Dortmund on Matchdays 10 and 11 respectively.
Stadium - Allianz Arena
Take the test: How well do you know Bayern Munich's Thomas Müller?

Obscure Halloween TV Specials From Your Childhood
First off, we’ve disqualified The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. Firstly, because they’re not obscure, and secondly because they’d win. No contest.
The Worst Witch (1986)
Before there was Harry Potter, there was Mildred Hubble, a fairly incompetent-yet-talented witch at Miss Cackle’s Academy for Witches. She learns from the dotty, lemon-drop-fancying Dumbledore Miss Cackle, is somewhat harassed by the strict, black-wearing teacher with a grudge, Severus Snape Miss Hardbroom, and gets bullied by a snobby rival who believes in blood purity, Draco Malfoy Ethel Hallow. But luckily Mildred has the help of her two best friends in the world, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Maud Spellbody and Enid Nightshade.
The book series, which first came out in 1974, has had several adaptations. The one from 1986 features a green-screen-loving Tim Curry, showcases Fairuza Balk before The Craft, and is absolutely bananas. Unfortunately, it’s fairly hard to get your hands on.
There is also a newer adaptation. It happens to have the little Mormont lady from Game of Thrones.
But remember, kids – anything could happen on Halloween. Your teacher could turn into a sardine. Your dentist could turn into a queen. HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY TAMBOURINE?!
Halloweentown (1998)
A considerably later, 90s-style classic with possibly the most charismatic grandmother you’ve ever seen in your life, Halloweentown is the source of magic, bad effects, and a great deal of over-acting from child stars.
Aggie Cromwell is played by Hollywood royalty Debbie Reynolds – yes, that Debbie Reynolds. After Carrie Fisher’s and Debbie Reynolds’s death only a day apart in 2016, many people were re-watching their favorite films from their huge filmography. Star Wars, for Carrie Fisher and Singin’ in the Rain, for Debbie Reynolds were most often cited. Halloweentown got somewhat ignored, but this piece of cheesy made-for-TV goodness is definitely worth a re-watch.
(We could also talk about the other stars, the spooky-wooky town and the typical YA plot, but honestly Reynolds steals the show.)
Halloween is Grinch Night (1977)
Let’s be real: Grinch Night is an acid trip. We don’t know what our parents were thinking for letting us watch it.
Sure, it starts pretty chill: The people of Whoville decide to hide when they smelled the sour-sweet wind coming over the hill. (They don’t want to go out when the Grinch out, though $6.60 seems like a very specific amount.) But then the prequel to How the Grinch Stole Christmas! goes a bit off the rails when Euchariah takes a hit of some manner of illegal substance jumps into the Grinch’s wagon. Hope you enjoyed nightmares as a four-year-old.
But we love Halloween. It’s a wonderful night for eyebrows.
Raggedy Ann and Andy in The Pumpkin Who Couldn’t Smile (1979)
An extremely depressed pumpkin that cries tears of pumpkin seeds is both adorable and tragic. It stars Raggedy Ann and Andy, who had their own musical adventure of chaos and nightmares. (Fun Fact: those who saw that 1977 film as children grew up into adults who now question whether the supposedly benevolent force behind our universe is actually a terrifying demigod forcing us into horrors for its own entertainment.)
This nostalgic Halloween special is relatively harmless though. Raggedy Ann and her male alternate self brings a sad little boy and a sad little pumpkin together, and makes the evil aunt Agatha considerably less sad.
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)
This film was one of several collections of shorts Walt Disney used to get the company back on its feet in the post-WWII era. It includes several stories, but one left a significantly larger impression on the audience, namely the one created after Washington Irving’s ghost story. Narrated by Bing Crosby, this show has been airing around Halloween on American televisions since the 50s.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
No one can smash together religious metaphors and squash varieties quite like Charles M. Schulz. The original comic strip was actually satire; Shultz found the concept of believing in Santa Claus sacrilegious and ridiculous. That being said, this special is almost as beloved as the very quotable Christmas special.
Linus’s cult may have failed, but the cult around this movie seems to get bigger every year.
Mad Monster Party? (1967)
Speaking of cults, this lesser-known Rankin/Bass production has a very small cult following. Who’s to blame them? Not many parodies actually feature Boris Karloff. Baron Boris von Frankenstein wants to retire from the monster-making business, but has a bit of trouble electing a successor.
The Halloween that Almost Wasn’t (1979)
Dracula (played by Judd Hirsch) and his cast of spooky friends (including the Wolfman, the Mummy, Igor, and Frankenstein’s Monster) are concerned that no one takes Halloween seriously anymore because monsters are now funny, not scary. There’s an evil witch who’s sick of being called ugly, and a celebratory disco scene at the end. It’s very 70s.
Disney’s Halloween Treat (1982)
A mishmosh of clips from various animated Disney features and a handful of classic shorts created this special, narrated by a jack-o’-lantern. There have been several Disney Halloween specials over the years, usually cutting between segments using a famous narrator. These segments usually feature the demon from Fantasia as well as a sampling of clips of past villains, such as Mad Madam Mim.
Garfield’s Halloween Adventure (1985)
Somebody told Garfield he could get a whole bunch of free food. Of course shenanigans ensue. (Pirates and ghosts make their way in there too.)
Mr. Boogedy (1986)
A salesman and his family move to a house that’s already full of ghosts from the colonial period. What’s that, you say? It’s uncomfortably similar to The Haunted Mansion? Let’s not talk about The Haunted Mansion, shall we?

anti hindu, muthoot, swamy
As I promised in Twitter I have got Muthoot to withdraw the circular — Subramanian Swamy (@Swamy39) October 3, 2011
This was the circular
http://www.haindavakeralam.com/HKPage.aspx?PageID=14662
This was swamy’s letter to muthoot
”
10th September, 2011.
To
Ms. Shiney Thomas,
Executive Secretary,
Muthoot Fincorp Ltd.
Muthoot Center
Punnen Road, Trivandrum.
Dear Ms.Thomas:
I am given to understand that you have issued a circular dated 17th March, 2011
resuring a dress code which discriminates against Hindu values and practices (see
enclosed).
If this circular is still operative, please let me know. As it stands, it is violative of a
Hindu’s fundamental rights.
Yours sincerely,
(SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY)
”
Muthoot responds..
Mutthoot apologises for hurting Hindu sentiments
Thiruvananthapuram: As Hindu organisations stepped up the protest against the Talibanic circular targeting Hindu employees, Muthoot Fin Corporation withdrawn the original circular and reissued the same regarding their dresscode omitting the controversial portions.
Following compromise talks with Hindu Aikya Vedi leaders , Muthoot told that the circular was not intended to hurt the sentiments of any religous group and apologised if it hurt any.
Hindu Aikya Vedi had earlier conducted protest marches to Muthoot offices owned by Muthoot Pappachan firm which is a leading money lending group in Kerala. Their dresscode circular which warns of strict actions against it’s employees who put Bindhi or Sindhoor in forehead had earlier invited wrath of Hindu organisations and Dr Subrahmanya Swamy’s warning to Muthoot group of legal action had made this fanatic group to withdraw the circular to save their face.
HAV leaders E S Biju, Brahmachari Bhargava Ram, K N Venkateswaran, Devi Das, Thirumala Anilkumar and Sandeep Thampanoor represented HAV in the talk. Thomas John Muthoot MD of the group and their legal advisors were present. | positive |

To condense his long saga, his girl was your typical “traditional,” “feminine” girl who cooked for him and provided great on-demand sex (often with incapacitating post-orgasm hangovers). Everything seemed “perfect” between them for six months or so, but all along this time, little did he know that she was a closet “witch” who was casting “love” spells on him “to bind” him to her. Succubus, witch, and “girlfriend”— all in one. He later discovered that he’d gotten more than what he had bargained for. A spell gone horribly wrong Gradually, things got predictable and boring as the relationship progressed and the passion faded. Her subtle, capricious demands soon became overt domination, which prompted him to seek an immediate closure to the relationship. This triggered the worst in her. Hell hath no fury as a witch scorned He then proceeded to have a harrowing time. He shared how he discovered she was stashing used condoms with his dried semen, shaved hair and pictures for her occult experiments to “bind” him before he finally kicked her out of his home. Not to mention she had even tried to “hex” his food to complete the binding on him. Things then turned very ugly, with her first trying to stalk him (after he kicked her out), then psychologically intimidating him, and when all that failed—she tried to screw up his social and professional reputation however she could. He was strong enough to resist her attacks, but his relationship was a compelling enough inspiration to learn about the occult, and to discover the common ideology it shares with feminism. Since readers may or may not believe in the paranormal, the point deduced from this story which will be primarily focused upon below is the surprising link between feminism and the occult. The first revolt against patriarchy The glorification of the female form, beginning with Lilith, the supposed first wife of Adam (who disobeyed him and is considered to be the first “feminist”) is an integral part of the occult, unlike in the patriarchal Abrahamic religions According to occult belief, Lilith was Adam’s first wife, the archetype feminist that every man marries and then divorces. She constantly argued with Adam and refused to lie under him during copulation by saying they were “equal.”A text of the “Story Of Lilith” can be read here. Her refusal to submit to Adam is said to be the first revolt against patriarchy. Occult and feminism in the modern world Feminism has its roots in the occult and witchcraft. A point well established by Mitch Horowitz, author of “Occult America” . Modern progressive feminist society has in many ways become a covert,occult-driven society. Reverence for the “Goddess” or “Divine Feminine” (a concept common to witchcraft, feminism, liberalism), beginning with the rise of the “Goddess movement” in Anglo countries and coinciding with second-wave feminism in the 70’s, has become more prevalent in the present day. A resultant product of five decades of feminism and its associated spirituality (occult). Today, we’re bombarded day in day out, everywhere by occult symbolismthrough media. Just type “occult symbolism” in any search engine on the web and see the results for yourself. Blue-pill (beta) culture, which typically romanticizes the concept of an ideal, sentimentalized love, has all its roots in the occult, as seen with the recent increasing consumerism of romantic occult-themed cinema by modern societies, especially by the younger generation. Most female occultists of the past and present held the belief of the psychological superiority of women as compared to that of men. Similarly, masquerading as a movement for women’s rights, feminism—as a cruel ruse—tells women their natural biological instincts are “socially constructed” to oppress them. Feminism’s social engineering, designed to destroy gender identity by interchanging gender roles, is actually a movement for women to covertly promote a hatred for men, as well as indirectly serving as a driving force for the occult (or its concepts), for they both often share a common ideology. Feminism’s mission to give any woman however worthless and undeserving she may be the power to lead men like bridled horses or yoked oxen whichever, whenever, and however she wants to is analogous to the witch who‘d supposedly “control” a man to do her bidding, through “magical” manipulation. Connecting the lines from the dots Is it a mere coincidence that the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in the UK in 1951, coupled with a revival of occult/witchcraft coincided with the rise of feminism? To illustrate this question further, an excerpt from an article which came out a few years back (you can read the article in full here): “Why has witchcraft gained such a hold in our Christian-based society? Certainly there are several factors. Many witches are fervent feminists. This is probably the main contributing factor to the rapid growth of the movement. Following ancient rituals faithfully, the Wiccan religion is female-dominant—the high priestess leads the ritual ceremonies. The fertility goddess always receives the primary worship. Wicca is tailor-made for women who desire power and authority over men. True Christianity is solidly patriarchal. This fact grinds away at feminist philosophy. Feminists who have not been able to successfully change Christian teachings to their own liking have embraced Wicca.” Another article that came out last year shows how witchcraft and the occult is actually growing at a rapid rate more than any other faith in theAnglo sphere. Considering these trends of revival of witchcraft in the West, the Anglo sphere seems more or less likely to be significantly paganized by the end of this century, especially with more and more feminism-bred women choosing it as a “spiritual” path. Witchcraft around the world After “registering” its first legal witch, Romania, the famed land of Dracula, became the first country to legalize (and tax) witchcraft as a profession in 2011 (a likely possibility sooner or later in the West, considering current trends). In Russia and other parts of Slavic Europe (with a long-etched history of witchcraft), occult-beliefs are still prevalent. A lot of modern, educated women still practice witchcraft (usually “love magic”) covertly—or if not, still believe in it. The WHO estimated that there were more witches and sorcerers in Russia than practicing doctors in an article which was published four years ago. You could read about a visitor’s journey into the heart of occult in modern day Russia; another article about the revival of occult in modern Russia; and another interesting article about the occult roots of the Russian Revolution. However, Russia seems to be taking proactive action in recent times to crackdown on witchcraft while promoting a reversion to Orthodox Christianity and patriarchal values. Other parts of Europe have seen a recent rise in occult practices, possibly due to occult glorification through media, and these rising trends are also seen in some parts of Asia and Middle East. In matriarchal societies in Africa, witchcraft has always been practiced since ancient times. Africa faces a similar problem as seen in Russia: more witch doctors than real doctors. A lot of women still use “love spells” and “potions” to bind or control their men, and a lot more people rely on witch doctors to physically heal themselves. What does the future hold? The conspicuous correlation is the one between feminism and the occult in places where both are on the rise. It’s often said that ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power. It’s the power of this knowledge and awareness about the link between feminism and the occult that every man should arm himself with so that he stays away from those women who share occult sympathies. As my friend learned the hard way, the risk isn’t worth it. TRANSCRIPT Question: What were the crucial moments in the history of the occult in America? Mitch Horowitz: The American occult really became established in the firmament of this country probably between the 1690s and the late 1840s. And there were several very definite personalities and groups and events that made that possible. As I mentioned earlier, by the 1680s, 1690s, mystical groups began to flee Central Europe and come to America. If you flash forward to 1776, you not only have the Shakers organizing their first village outside of Albany in New York, but in the State of Rhode Island, there was a young woman named Jemima Wilkinson who had been caught up on the Baptist Revival, we call “The Great Awakening,” and in the fall of 1776, Jemima, who had grown up on a prosperous Quaker farm, took to her bed with a terrible fever and she was slipping in and out of a coma and her family was sure that she was going to die. And then one day, without any antecedent whatsoever, she leaped up from the bed, all red and ruddy and filled with this renewed energy, and announced to her shocked Quaker family that she would no longer be known as Jemima, that woman had died and that the being standing before them would be known as the Public Universal Friend. And she became, in a certain sense, the nation’s first spirit channeler. By the early 1800s, that area of central New York state became known as the “Burned Over District,” it was the place considered “burned over” with the fires of religious passion. And that’s where you start to see the first alternative religious culture developing in America, and really, in the modern world. The Iroquois Indians had occupied central New York state, but they were pushed off that land by the colonial government just after the War of Independence. So, central New York was opened to land settlement and speculation and a whole wave of relatively liberal New Englanders began to flood into central New York state and for about a generation or two, in the early- to mid-1800’s, the place produced most of the new religions that grew out of America; Mormonism, Seventh Day Adventism, is where the Shakers spread; you have the first experiments, large experiments, in American utopianism; the Oneida community was located there. The place was a hotbed of political reform. The fist women’s rights conference was held in Seneca Falls, New York. It was also the birthplace of the movement of what we call “spiritualism,” which involved séances and spirit raps and talking to the dead. And spiritualism just became the driving engine behind everything because as spiritualism grew in central New York state and it started essentially in a little village called Hydesville, outside the city of Rochester, where two teenage girls, in 1848, told their Methodist household that the bangs and raps and noises that were being heard in their cabin were actually spirit raps. And the girls said: “We can reach to the beyond.” And people believed them. They were hungry to believe them because Americans saw themselves as a people who were entitled to a kind of new dispensation from God. They used to refer to the country sometimes as the “New Israel” or the “American Israel.” They were expressing the most radical impulses of the Reformation in which people believed that you could reach the beyond, you could reach the divine, with no intermediary. You didn’t need the man in robes, you could do it yourself. And as soon as people began to organize into séance circles and people began to identify themselves as transmediums who could reach the beyond. It opened up a door for women to assume their first roles of religious leadership in the modern world. This really can’t be overstated. Women had no clerical role anywhere in the Western world, period. When spiritualism dawned, suddenly women who wanted to engage in the civic and religious and political culture were becoming transmediums. It is no accident that in this “burned over” district of upstate New York, you had the birth of spiritualism coinciding with the fist conference for women’s voting rights. The two were branches coming out of the same tree for about a generation in the 19th Century, you could not find a voting rights activist, a suffragist activist, who hadn’t spent some time at the séance table, and vice versa. The movements just absolutely grew out of one another. Once that social and spiritual opening was created for women in the form of spiritualism, suddenly ambitious women who wanted to participate in the culture had a kind of a voice. So this began a marriage between occult spirituality and reformist or radical politics that just roared through the country, and really, has never gone away. So, the 1840s, some historians call that decade “The Mad 40s,” the 1840s was the pivotal moment in American life where an avant-garde spiritual culture began to grow and where a radical and reformist political culture began to grow. This was also bound up with ideologies that were coming over to America from Europe. Chief among them was the method called mesmerism, which we today call hypnotism. Americans were in love with mesmerism because it was something that you could do in your own home. You could mesmerize or hypnotize your aunt or your mother or your father and people would go into these trance states and you could introduction autosuggestions tot hem or as some people saw it, you could cure them of illnesses. And sometimes people would emerge, re-emerge from a trance state and report that they had some kind of out of body experience. They had traveled to other realms or to other planets, or to the heavens. So all of these occult ideologies, all these supernatural ideologies where people said they were in touch with the world beyond, they could see either into other realms or into the future or they could serve as a spirit channeler, they were confirming a very, very deep-seated hope that Americans had about themselves and they served as a conduit for radically liberal religious and political ideas. Feminism is an “occult” operation June 11, 2015 By Luigi Logan (aka Fidelbogen) The following is one possible definition of feminism: A special advocacy movement for women which incorporates hatred of the male sex as an occult driving force. Such characterization begs justification—a task (one of several) which I have set for myself. I am aware that certain self-described feminists see themselves as people of good will and would feel aggrieved by my clear description of feminism as a hate movement. I understand their position and get no fun from trampling on their susceptibilities, but a higher imperative operates here: the truth must be told even if it stings. The present description of feminism, as I hope to show, comports very well with the pragmatic truth of our world. Feminism talks a noble game, but only as a window dressing or rhetorical skin. To peel back this skin and probe the workings of the underlying social organism shall be our present endeavor. To begin: feminist ideology is incoherent. It has meant so many things in the mouths of so many women’s advocates that it appears to mean everything and therefore nothing. But not quite nothing; women’s advocacy is a constant, even if a colloidal suspension of mutually exclusive things are advocated. Feminists themselves have admitted that there are “many different feminisms” and I shall not dispute them. I believe they speak accurately. From feminists themselves I have only heard one declaration that comes near to a coherent description of their movement, namely that it seeks “equality” between men and women. This desired outcome of sexual equality appears to be the sole wire connecting the many beads of women’s advocacy. Otherwise the women’s movement appears to be a free-for-all, a scattered constellation of clutter with no particular center and no especial perimeter. I say appears, and my choice of words is considered. The principle that feminism seeks sexual equality should theoretically instill coherence into the movement. Yet given that equality is an essentially contested concept, lacking coherence outside the realm of mathematics, it offers nothing better than mud beneath the mud. “Equality” emerges as a fuzzy, shifting object—one that can never be entirely nailed down because men and women can never be fully “equal” in every possible situation or every conceivable nuance of meaning which the word might be understood to convey. Consequently, the feminist ideologues can go on churning out new demands for “equality” until hell freezes over—a bottomless bag of tricks! So much for coherence. Our examination leaves only the aforementioned rhetorical skin, a mere surface coherence that proves disingenuous on closer inspection. We end with a nagging suspicion that feminism preaches “equality” only for public relations’ sake while covertly meaning something altogether different. This altogether different “something” is what presently holds our interest. I shall contend that, despite appearances, feminism does in very deed embody a deep organic consistency. However, the plan of this consistency cannot be clearly exhibited until we brush aside (rather brusquely) what feminists say about themselves and see the facts flat-on, with vision unencumbered by doctrinaire models of political discourse. From such scrutiny a picture emerges. Not a pretty picture to be sure, but one that explains the world in a way that is usefully frank, and frankly useful. Feminism hides (occults) its nature by what we shall term cognitive fragmentation. Cognitive fragmentation means that feminism pretends to be many different things so that the controlling core of the movement appears to be just “one kind” of feminism among many. This follows from our earlier statement that feminism lacks coherence. Feminism embraces many jostling particles which by logic ought to exclude each other. Yet certain binding forces prevent the mass from flying altogether apart. These binding forces keep feminism compact enough to operate as a political entity on the field of power. By means of cognitive fragmentation, feminism turns what might seem a drawback into a distinct advantage. Cognitive fragmentation means that feminism appears to be this and this, and that and that, and that other thing over there too! No end in sight! Consequently the movement can work on a hundred different projects from a hundred different directions, with each module enjoying immunity from most of the others. Thereby the movement as a whole gains deniability. The right hand “knoweth not what the left hand doeth” or else pretendeth not to know. Yes, feminism harbors many schools of thought and shades of opinion, many sects and coteries. Often these appear harmless; when their adherents are challenged regarding the occult nature of feminism as a whole they can easily pass the buck by declaring, “oh no, I’m not that kind of feminist!”—a perpetual round-robin of “they went thataways!” The radical feminist “bad guys”, so it appears, are always just over the hill. Then they’re over the next hill, and the next . . . Yes, the world contains many kinds of feminism—some better, some worse. And it contains many kinds of feminists: we could measure the feminist population purely as a cross-section of human nature without even taking ideologies into account. And a reasonable thinker might well expect to find, somewhere in that woodpile, a veritably “bad” feminism along with a number of correspondingly bad feminists engaged in its practice. This does not broach the borders of the fantastical. To suppose that such bad feminists veritably do exist, neither violates the strictures of probability nor warps them by a single iota. It is critical to understand that feminism did not float down from heaven on a gold plate. Feminism is by every measure a product of the human condition on planet earth, complete with the trimmings you might expect. The dirt, the deceit, the sham, the shadows, the smoke, the mirrors . . . and all the rest. The phrase “not that kind of feminist” has revelatory importance because the speaker confirms the existence of “that kind of feminist” in the first place. Even feminists themselves acknowledge “that kind of feminist” as a real part of the world. Feminism occults its operative core by making that core appear as only one “kind” of feminism among many. You are encouraged to ignore it, to overlook it, to lose track of it, to think positive thoughts—while scanning the entire smorgasbord of feminisms in a distracted manner . . . . Cognitive fragmentation literally fragments the knowledge of the observer, placing the observer in a state of false consciousness as concerns feminism—unable to cognize its occult unity. Think of this as a variation on “divide and rule”—feminism divides itself in order to rule the target’s mind by dividing his awareness. Cognitive fragmentation operates also within the mind of the individual feminist, as a prophylaxis against cognitive dissonance. Here is the modus operandi, as trenchantly as can be stated: any critique of feminism will be met with either screaming histrionics, or a cool assurance that the critique is invalid because the thing it criticizes isn’t really feminism. Feminism is adept at sliding out of its skin like a snake and slithering away intact. Granted that many feminisms exist, it is remarkable how they all appear to converge toward a realization of female supremacy, as if this were a one-point perspective goal on the time horizon. One might suppose the feminists to have agreed upon a division of labor. Whether this happened on purpose or whether it “just happened” seems a point of secondary interest. Either way it happened and keeps happening. Anything that seeks “more for women” can be harnessed to the wagon of female supremacism. Even if the “more” in question seems innocuous and not the least man-hating, it can theoretically put women in a stronger position—which marks a step closer to the goal! Man-haters are fine with that sort of thing. It requires no particular audacity to see a conspiracy in all of this. Etymologically, to con-spire means to breathe together—although a metaphorical kind of breathing is meant, suggesting a group of people mutually attuned to the point of synchronous aspiration. If conspiracy seems too strong a word maybe “connivance”, “collusion” or “complicity” would be more to your liking. Whatever your preference, you will find it illuminating to understand feminism as an affair of kindred minds working in concert across a range of vocations. To understand it otherwise would favor an imbalance of probability. This range of vocations gives the feminist machine its orchestrated character, its pervading sense of holographic globality—which to the average male feels like something condensing from the air and percolating from the cracks in the earth. And it happened all at once. Plenty of ordinary men during the 1990s felt backstabbed or violently ambushed for no good reason. One day the average fellow woke up in the middle of a Kafka novel. Everyman as Joseph K. At an extreme, feminism’s mission will be accomplished when any woman has the power to lead any man around by the nose—anywhere, at any time, for any reason. Which is to say that any third-rate female could lord it over the finest man who ever lived. That is what they really want, and all of their activisms, all of their insistences, all of their campaigns both large and small, point incrementally toward the fulfillment of this goal, however far in the future such fulfillment may lie. That this goal will never in all likelihood be realized, matters not; they can still dream of it and plunder aplenty along the way. Yes, the world contains many different feminisms and they all belong to the same elephant. A blind man would overlook this.

Feminism is rebellion against God’s AUTHORITY! I don’t know where the term “feminazi” originated, but it accurately describes the Feminist Movement. So many pastors today are afraid to preach against the evils of feminism. The truth needs to be told! America’s churches, marriages and homes are being destroyed by the vile feminist agenda. Women are now filing for divorce at TWICE the rate of men because of feminism. A godly man is a threat to the feminist’s agenda, because he believes that a woman’s place is still in the home—baking cookies, knitting, and caring for the children (1st Timothy 5:14). Of course, hen pecked husbands and sissies are exempt. The world’s way isn’t working. The world will tell you that you can only have one President. The world will tell you that you can only have one mayor, one governor, one CEO of a corporation. But they’ll tell you when you get married that you can have two bosses. Two headed things are freaky, they don’t live long! Feminism is a lie of the Devil. In Genesis 3:6 we learn that Eve had convinced herself with three good reasons to sin. “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” Notice carefully the three things which Eve said: 1. Eve saw “that the tree was good for food.” 2. Eve saw “that it was pleasant to the eyes.” 3. Eve saw that it was “a tree to be desired to make one wise.” Oh, the deceitfulness of sin! The Devil is a beautiful liar. Eve had convinced herself with Satan’s help that disobeying God was going to be the greatest thing she ever did. It turned out to be the worst day of her life. Biblically, a Woman’s Place in Still in the Home “I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. For some are already turned aside after Satan.” —1st Timothy 5:14Have you TURNED ASIDE AFTER SATAN? Feminism is sin. It is wrong because it is a rebellion against authority. Feminism is not about women’s rights, nor equality, it’s about rebellion against God’s Word. What feminists are really saying is, “We don’t believe the Bible is God’s Word and we absolutely REFUSE to allow men to have exclusive authority.” Thus, women preachers demand EQUALITY in the leadership of the church. Wives demand EQUALITY in the leadership of the home. This is exactly what Lucifer said in Isaiah 14:14… “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” Satan didn’t want to be greater than God, he simply wanted EQUALITY in authority. Feminism is diametrically opposed to the Word of God. If more Christian women truly understood what feminism is, and is not, then the divorce rate amongst Christians wouldn’t be equal with that of the heathen world. Feminism is a denial of the Word of God, specifically the Bible’s strict teaching that women are prohibited from usurping authority over men, whether it be in the church (1st Timothy 2:12) or in the home (1st Peter 3:1). In the photo at the beginning of this article you see Whoopi Goldberg (real name: Caryn Elaine Johnson), who is an open homosexual. Feminists speak of “honor,” but there is no true honor among lesbians and baby-killers. Proverb 26:1, “As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.” Feminism is synonymous with lesbianism and abortion. Civil rights are one thing, sinful rights are another. Feminism is of the Devil. Dear Idiots! It is tragic that an apostate Southern Baptist Church in Tennessee called an ordained lesbian to be their associate pastor. This is what happens when people disobey the Scriptures. Here’s a lesbian minister, Carter Heyward, who desires to make abortion a sacrament in the church. We were much better off as a nation when women stayed in the kitchen, instead of entering the sacred pulpit. The great need of the hour is godly wives and mothers. A lot of women today feel that they could never be a homemaker, but you can be that woman. Like anything else, it starts with desire. Husbands are Biblically to Rule Over their Wives; Wives are to obey! God has ordained that the man is to be the head of the household. The wife is to SUBMIT to her own husband… “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” —Ephesians 5:22The Bible angers feminists because it CLEARLY teaches that a wife is to SUBMIT to her own husband. We read that Sarah even called her husband, Abraham, “lord” (i.e., master)… “Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” —1st Peter 3:6 The Christian wife isn’t perfect; but, she is a Christ-honoring woman who submits to her husband’s authority. The Christian wife hates feminism because she knows it goes AGAINST God and His Word… “Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” —1st Corinthians 11:9 God commands every mother to love her children, and for each wife to love and obey her own husband… “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” —Titus 2:4,5 We read in 1st Corinthians 11:3… “But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” —1st Corinthians 11:3 What kind of wife are you? “A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.” —Proverb 12:4 Many wives today are “rottenness” to their husbands health, because of the grief and undue stress they cause for their husbands. They contaminate and rot their marriages until there’s nothing left. Some even kill their babies… “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” —Proverb 14:1 The Godless Supreme Court has ruled that a feminist mother can murder her own baby against the biological father’s will. This is Communist oppression for father’s and unborn children in the mother’s womb… “The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.” —John Hay, 1872 Children aren’t even able to defend themselves. The womb is statistically one of the most dangerous places on earth to be. Sad huh? You’d think that the one “safe” place for a child would be in the womb of its very own mother. Silly Women I don’t mean to be unkind, but America is filled with foolish women, what the Bible calls “silly women,” who have destroyed their marriage and home. A wife is COMMANDED by God to submit to her husband. Many marriages today are two-headed monstrosities, because of a rebellious wife who refuses to submit to her husband’s instruction. The end result is often the wife filing for divorce, which is a sin. Jesus said Matthew 5:32 that it is adultery for her to remarry. By the way, I’m not condoning domestic violence here, which is the first excuse every feminist clings to. A woman needs to leave if she feels threatened; however, this is NOT a Biblical ground for divorce. There are NO Biblical grounds for divorce! Say what you will, divorce is a sin! People nowadays have the attitude that divorce is ok, but it’s surely not ok with God. For anyone to teach that Jesus permits divorce in the case of fornication, is to say that Jesus also approves of breaking lifetime commitments and sacred wedding vows made. This is not what the Bible teaches. There are NO Biblical grounds for divorce. Tragically, many of today’s judges are lesbians. See the International Association of Lesbian and Gay Judges. In San Francisco, 20% of all city appointments have been granted to homosexuals because of Affirmative Action laws. Where do you think the U.S. is headed? If you guessed “Hell,” you are correct. Feminism and lesbianism are synonymous. Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906) is recognized as one of the great leaders of the women’s rights movement. I sadly found a book about her life for sale at Christian book.com and other so-called “Christian” websites. I say “sad” because Susan B. Anthony was an atheist and lesbian. Why are Christians praising this wicked woman? They speak highly of her. Susan B. Anthony is featured on gay celebrity and famous atheist websites. People are so confused these days about everything. The wicked life of Susan B. Anthony is evidence of the evils of feminist rights. God hates feminism because it is rebellion against masculine authority in the home, church and society. A husband is to love his wife and cherish her. The husband is to protect his wife. If he doesn’t, then he is breaking his marriage vows. A good wife will likely submit to a decent husband who loves her and provides for her. Unfortunately, some women can’t be pleased. A man once told me once how unhappy he was because his wife bought a new living room set without his permission, placing them into more debt. She is rebellious. Another man told me that he was cutting the grass, and asked his wife for a glass of water, but she refused. She is rebellious. Feminism is rebellion. God hates feminism! I could tell you story after story. A wife’s purpose in life is to be a “help meet” to her husband. Like it or not—a woman’s place is IN THE HOME (1st Timothy 5:14). A man’s wife is to help him (i.e., be a help meet)… “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”—Genesis 2:18I agree with Professor Henry Makow who states, “Illuminati exaggerate friction in society (Communist Jewish propaganda) in order to create division. Feminists train women to see any kind of male initiative as harassment; and heterosexuality as a pathology. They think females should be allowed to send sexual signals but men should not be allowed to respond. Female sexuality should be reserved for lesbians like themselves.” We see this perversion everywhere today—shapely women dress in extremely provocative clothing, and then men are expected to pretend like they don’t see anything. Search the statistics across America and you’ll learn that the rate of incidences of workplace sexual harassment have skyrocketed. As long as women choose to disobey God’s command to dress modestly, men are going to continue to behave equally as shameful. Feminism is Synonymous with Immodesty There’s nothing any more wrong with America today than the sinful way women dress. We’ve become a nation of whorishly dressed women. There are only a few ladies anymore. And I thank God for both of them! I saw an elderly woman in the store the other day, whose hair was as gray as could be, wearing a miniskirt. That’s just messed up. If I were a king, I’d make a law that any woman who wore a miniskirt would go to jail. I’m not kidding! Brother, we need to get back to decency in this nation! Prostitutes didn’t dress as immodestly fifty years ago as most Christian women do today. Laugh at me if you want, I’m on God’s side. America is going to hell morally because of immodestly dressed women. There will come a day when God will wipe that impudent (marked by casual disrespect, improperly forward or bold) smirk off every feminist’s face, when they will give account to God for the sinful manner in which they dressed and behaved throughout their life. Proverbs 7:10 speaks of the Attire of a Harlot. Godless people like to mock, joke and ridicule the statements I make concerning decency and morality. You’d better realize that you’re just a skeleton covered with flesh, and one day your soul is going to enter into eternity, and you’re going to give account to God for your life. Do you think God is going to laugh with you at my preaching against immodesty? Do you think it’s a trifle matter to God when women dress whorishly and cause men to lust and sin? What some of you women need to do is get right with God, throw away your miniskirts, and go buy some decent clothes. You can mock at my preaching all you want, but you won’t be laughing on Judgment Day when you stand before God. 1st Timothy 2:9, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel…” The word “apparel” means “clothing,“ and the word “modest”means “of good behavior.” God is commanding women to dress like ladies. A women who dresses like a whore advertises that she lacks good character, for if she had any moral decency she wouldn’t dress immodestly. The manner in which American women dress immodestly is a shame and a disgrace to our nation. WeAmericans get what we deserve. Feminism Verses Woman’s Rights There is great deception in America… civil rights. Many moral right’s issues are deceitfully being labeled as “civil rights.” Thus, many moral right’s issues are being violated in the name of “civil rights.” Listen, just because you’re a U.S. citizen doesn’t give you the right to disobey God. For example: Being a U.S. citizen gives you the “right” to vote; but, it does not give you the right to be homosexual. I don’t care what the Supreme Court says, the Word of God condemns homosexuality! America is filled with demented homosexuals and murderous abortionists who boast of being respectable citizens, who commit their sins with the government’s permission; but, God will judge them for their wickedness (Romans 1:32). I am not trying to be unkind, I am taking a proper stand against a moral menace to society. No one is born “gay,” because God doesn’t make mistakes. God created male and female, which is normal. For anyone to claim that God made them a homosexual is to say that God made a mistake, because they cannot bear children nor have normal sexual relations. God didn’t make a mistake, you did. The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a Communist, anti-family, anti-Christian, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their babies, practice witchcraft, abandon homemaking, and become lesbians. Please read, Woman Admits Feminism Ruined Her Life. Every woman has her rights; but, there’s a world of difference between human rights (which we are born with), civil rights (which are granted to all U.S. citizens), and moral rights (which belong to God alone). A mother who claims the “right” to murder her baby through an abortion is violating God’s moral rights. We have no sinful rights. Any honest person knows that abortion is wrong. The Bible calls it murder (Exodus 20:13). Nearly all abortions are the result of human irresponsibility, i.e., fornication. No one has a right to sin! Abortion is cold-blooded murder! This is a moral right that belongs to God alone, because only God can give life, and only God should take life. Again, we have no sinful rights. Feminism is not the same thing as women’s rights. People oftentimes get these two confused. Feminism is a sin; but, human rights certainly are not. Human rights are granted at birth, and apply to everyone. In contrast, feminism is rebellion, i.e., rebellious women refusing to submit to their husbands (or refusing to marry because they won’t be ruled over). Some feminists are so “militant” about their rebellion that they are referred to as “femi-Nazis.” Feminazis like to destroy other people’s marriages. Sometimes feminists refuse to marry, and strongly resent other women who are happily married. Many feminists CHOOSE to become lesbians. Homosexuality is a choice—no one is born homosexual. Feminism and homosexuality are inseparable. You show me a homosexual, and I’ll show you someone who hates the King James Bible (which condemns homosexuality as a morally reprehensible sin. See Romans 1:22-32). The feminist movement in America is trying to castrate men by DEMANDING equal authority. The idea that it takes a man to do certain jobs is repulsive to a feminist. Yet, who do we ALWAYS see holding the flag when we drive by a construction site? … a woman! It’s the men who are doing the rough work. Also, feminists are completely quite when it comes to the unfairness of child support and alimony payouts that men are often forced to pay! What hypocrites! Feminist women want EQUAL rights when it’s to their advantage; but, they don’t want EQUAL rights for the man. I once had a neighbor who divorced her husband. She soon shacked up with a new boyfriend. Her x-husband was forced by the courts to pay her child support and alimony. Her new boyfriend was a public school teacher and earning plenty of money. She was living high-on-the-hog and wasn’t working a job. So with her alimony, child-support and all the money her new boyfriend was making—they had it made financially. Meanwhile her x-husband was barely surviving on his remaining paycheck. It’s wrong and criminal. This is going on all across America and God hates it. The courts are not fair to men. In some countries, the Court divides the cost of everything in a divorce 50/50. That’s fair! Feminists are hypocrites who portray themselves as “victims” in a man’s society. The truth is that they’re angry at God, because God created women the WEAKER vessel, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the WEAKER VESSEL…” (1st Peter 3:7). This is not to say that women are inferior to men, they certainly are not. Jesus said that His Father was “greater” than He (John 14:28); yet this did NOT make Jesus inferior in any way. There is nothing “inferior” about submitting to God-ordained authority. The Problem is America’s heathen society who reject the Bible as being God’s Word. The truth is that God created men to be strong, masculine, and decisive; BUT, He created ladies to be feminine, sweet, and lovely. Feminism aims to blur these differences. Women are to obey their husbands to please God. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a wife to obey God if she doesn’t obey her husband, because God commands every wife to obey her husband (1st Peter 3:6). The true face of feminism! Women are supposed to be feminine, sweet, and loving. When a woman does a man’s job, she becomes like a man in her thinking, in her actions, et cetera. I’m not trying to be unkind, not at all. I’m simply saying that God created men and women different, and I’m against anything that diminishes the line between the sexes. Ladies ought to be feminine, sweet, lovely, and charming. Men ought to be strong and masculine, rugged, and decisive. I’m opposed to anything that makes a man and a woman act alike, think alike, look alike, dress alike, or talk alike. Like it or not ladies, men and women are created different. There’s just some things that women can do better than men, and some things that men can do better than women. God made men to lead, it comes natural for them. Women are natural followers. For a woman to try to lead men is improper, because she is taking on the disposition of a man. Feminists strongly resent a husband’s Biblical right to rule over his wife with authority, and resent such women as well. Sadly, many working women today have lost sight of what it means to be a mother and a homemaker. The FACT of the matter is that feminism is synonymous with many other sins. Who would have thought there’d be a day in the United States when homosexuals would be getting married? It’s sickening! Who would have thought that witches and witchcraft would be honored in Salem, Massachusetts? Who would have thought that our nation would become so wicked that we’d even name one of our biggest cities “Sin City”? Feminism is of the Devil and it has turned America into a big insane asylum—where mothers murder their babies, public school children are taught to have fist-sex, and women file for divorce at TWICE the rate of men. Feminists Want Authority, Just as Lucifer! “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” —Isaiah 14:14Feminists want “like” authority (just as Lucifer did in Isaiah 14:14)! Every woman pastor is a feminist! The Word of God prohibits women from usurping authority over men in the church, “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1st Timothy 2:12). Women pastors are sinful, because they are elevating their authority to that of a man. If you remove women preachers from the Charismatic Movement, it would cease to exist overnight. America is dying for sincere men who walk with God, contend for the Christian faith, hate and fight against sin, aggressively preach the Gospel, and have God’s unconditional love for sinners. It is because of a lack of such men of God that women have flooded America’s pulpits and have turned the church into a laughing stock. Women can be great leaders over other women or over children; but not over men. It is not natural. TV has gone insane with feminism. I mean,only on TV will you see a woman leading an army, defeating 10 men in hand-to-hand combat, single-handedly saving planet earth, et cetera. It’s far from reality. In reality, U.S. women soldiers like Jessica Lynch are brutally raped (including being “sodomized by Iraqi thugs”) by the enemy, and some are raped by their own military colleagues (and then sent back home to America in shame). Instead of sending our men into war to defend our women, we’re sending our women out to get raped. Was it worth enrolling? The recruiter doesn’t get raped. America has gone insane! I am not trying to be unkind, but women do not belong in the military. Let the men be men! American Society’s Twisted View of Reality In reality, most women can’t even change a tire without the help of a man. No wonder today’s girls are so confused about life—they’re being brainwashed by a bunch of God-hating feminists and lesbians who despise Biblical teachings… As anemic twenty-first century Laodiceans grow more addicted to “the box” and less acquainted with “the Book,” America’s females (saved and lost alike) will continue to imbibe the deadliest poison of all… As for primetime viewing, it is easy to see where the concept of “reality” television comes from. Just try to find “reality” in the slate of “normal” programs; feminism and affirmative action agendas rule the airwaves! Typically, shows that really put Japheth in his place revolve around criminal investigation, courtroom drama and hospital emergencies. The subliminal script is hilarious: white woman detective drops bad guy with powerful roundhouse kick; black woman FBI agent grills nervous white male suspect; white female prosecutor consistently defeats white male counterpart; black doctor bails out white subordinate; yada, yada, yada. (For a dose of real”reality,” see patrol car footage of white female police officer getting the snot beaten out of her by black male traffic violator.) Like her prototype in the Garden, the “last Eve” is about as mixed up as “Hogan’s goat.” While visiting a library in North Carolina, I overheard a conversation that perfectly illustrates “why America is finished.” A woman patron approached the desk and asked, “Do you have any more of those Left Behind books?” When the librarian replied, “No,” the woman then inquired, “Do you have any Harry Potterones?” (So much for Timmy LaHaye and his money-making “Christian” fantasy series.) SOURCE: How Satan Turned America Against God; by Dr. William P. Grady; pg. 854-855; 2005; ISBN: 0-9628809-3-0 The television is about as false and misleading as can be nowadays. Only on TV will you see an old Western town portrayed as having an African deputy, a White sheriff and a Chinese barber. People are being indoctrinated, especially our youth, to have a false view of reality. Television nowadays is being used as aweapon to promote AGENDAS that go 100% contrary to the Word of God; such agendas as homosexuality, feminism and abortion. Much public sympathy has been gained for homosexuals by corrupt TV programming. Ellen DeGeneres is unquestionably the spokeswoman for the Gay and Lesbian Community, and she is highly sought after by evil businesses who want to appear as being “homo-friendly” by featuring her in their commercials. In 1997, during the fourth season of Ellen, DeGeneres came out publicly as a lesbian in an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Homosexuality is a vile sin that the Scriptures condemn; yet, the feminist agenda goes hand-in-hand with lesbianism and gay marriage. Please read, San FranSICKO! In 1998, Ellen DeGeneres exploited the murder of a University of Wyoming homosexual student named Matthew Shepard, using the boy’s death to demonize Bible-believing Christians. Read some of the hateful and malicious statements Ellen made publicly about Christians… Ellen DeGeneres declares war October 23, 1998 Ellen DeGeneres came to Washington last week, joined a bipartisan demonstration led by congressmen and senators on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, and declared, “This is a war.” Who is she fighting and why? She is fighting you because of what you believe… The “war” that Ellen DeGeneres talked about was a war against Jewish and Christian belief itself. Listen to what she said to a crowd of several thousand as the beautiful dome of the U.S. Capitol loomed brightly above her on a crisp autumn evening. “This is what I was trying to stop. This is exactly why I did what I did,” DeGeneres told the cheering throng, referring to the canceled prime-time television show in which she tried to normalize the practice of homosexuality. She made it clear that her principal enemy in this cause is the “religious right,” Christianity in general, and people who raise their children to think that homosexual activity is wrong. First, she attacked a series of newspaper ads published last summer by the Christian Coalition, the Family Research Council, the American Family Association and a dozen other Christian organizations-ads that promoted the idea that those who have fallen into a homosexual lifestyle can rise out of it and change for the better. “I don’t see full-page ads saying `Stop the Hate, Stop the Violence.” said DeGeneres. “These same evil, idiotic, so-called God-loving people who use the Bible to justify their hate, I’m sure still feel deep down that blacks aren’t equal to whites because the Bible was also used to justify slavery.” She then compared such people to Hitler and those who were complicit in the Holocaust. “When Hitler was killing all the Jews,” she said, “the church was silent, they did nothing.” Then she made her fundamental point: Children should be taught that the homosexual lifestyle is a good thing. “Please raise your children with love and not judgment,” she said. “Tell them that everybody has the right to love whom they want to love.” DeGeneres stomped off to the wings to hug and kiss Hollywood actress Ann Heche. Heche mounted the stage and shouted, “I am so glad to be Ellen DeGeneres’s wife.” [emphasis added] SOURCE: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3827/is_199810/ai_n8815714 Ellen DeGeneres is an evil woman who hates the Bible, hates the God of the Bible and hates Bible-believing Christians. Consider the following two horrible statements made by Ellen DeGeneres from the preceding article quote… • “These same evil, idiotic, so-called God-loving people who use the Bible to justify their hate…” • “Children should be taught that the homosexual lifestyle is a good thing.” Such deranged statements coming from one of America’s most influential lesbians ought to upset every born-again Christian in America. Ellen DeGeneres (or degenerate) calls God-fearing Christians “evil, idiotic and hateful.” She’s the evil idiot. Only a complete fool would spit in God’s face by condemning Bible-believing Christians for preaching against sin. Homosexuality is a horrible sin which guarantees the judgment of God (Romans 1:24-32). Children ought to be taught that homosexuality is sick, abnormal, shameful, unnatural, morally reprehensible and most of all… a SIN. What DeGeneres labels as “hate” is obedience to God. Ephesians 5:11 commands all believers to refute (Greek: elencho, which means “to expose”) all works of darkness… “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” This means we are to expose homosexuality for the vile, disgusting, shameful, unhealthy sin that it is. Ellen DeGeneres errantly calls this idiotic and evil. No Ellen, you are a God-hating rebel who chooses to live in unrepentant sin. Proverb 29:27 proclaims, “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” This is the root of the matter. Christians are evil in the eyes of homosexuals, and homosexuals are evil in the eyes of Christians. There can be NO harmony between sodomites and born-again Christians who love the Word of God. “America has become a rat-infested worm hole… wicked nations go into bondage.” —Radio host Alex Jones, The Alex Jones Show, December 16, 2009 Sadly, America’s churches are virtually silent concerning the evils of homosexuality. Many feminists are lesbians! Ellen DeGeneres needs to be exposed as a threat to America’s children. Several Fortune 500 companies have embraced Miss DeGeneres, featuring her in commercials. This is wickedness. Proverb 26:1 states, “As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.” Ellen DeGeneres is a fool undeserving of any honor; yet Godless heathens who hate Jesus Christ sinfully promote and honor her. Ellen DeGeneres is a disgrace to America and to the name of decency. It’s not about love and acceptance; it’s about obeying God’s morally perfect Law. God wants His children to rise out of complacency, and not be lukewarm concerning sin. We must not be afraid to speak our opinion in public concerning the awfulness of sin. “Our women are incredibly entitled, worldly and angry about everything.” —Radio host Alex Jones, The Alex Jones Show, December 29, 2009 Lewd women like Taylor Swift are dime-a-dozen; but a Godly woman who fears the Lord and dares not cause men to lust (Matthew 5:28), is a rare person these days. I don’t expect most people to care, considering that 50,000,000 American women have killed their own babies; but I know some decent ladies do. Not one man has ever had an abortion! Feminism is the rot of America. Women today have become imprudent, arrogant, worldly and angry at everything. They are lewd, rude and crude! Listen to the mighty preacher R.G. Lee, preaching about the role of women in society, in his classic sermon, PAYDAY SOMEDAY… “Search the pages of the Bible all you will; study history all you please. And you will find one truth that stands out above some other truths. What is that truth? The truth that the spiritual life of a nation, city, town, school, church, or home never rises any higher than the spiritual life of women. When women sag morally and spiritually, men sag morally and spiritually. When women slump morally and spiritually, men slip morally and spiritually. When women take the downward road men travel with them. When women are lame morally and spiritually, men limp morally and spiritually. The degeneracy of womanhood helps the decay of manhood.” SOURCE: R.G. Lee, the needful sermon PAYDAY SOMEDAY! America’s women are morally corrupt, and the entire nation is headed for destruction. I’m so sick and tired of greedy people who use lewdness to exploit others, saying that it’s just the industry, but they’re really not that way in real life. Oh, shut up! What you do in a filming studio is real life! The indecent MTV videos you make are real life! The morals you corrupt are real life! The money you make is real money! The nation you are ruining is real destruction! And the God you are disobeying is REAL MAD!!! Evidently Taylor Swift is FEARLESS, because she certainly doesn’t fear the God of the Bible who told her to dress modestly (1st Timothy 2:9). It’s all about the love of money (1st Timothy 6:10). The Evils of Feminism Photo to Right: The divorce rate in the United States Faith Hill attributes Reba McEntire as one one of her mentors. Reba McEntire is one of the biggest feminists alive today, and has produced some of the most malicious feminist propaganda against the teachings of the Word of God. Here’s some lyrics from Reba’s YOU’RE NO GOOD lyrics … You’re no good… baby you’re no good I’m tellin’ you now baby That I’m going my way Forget about you baby ‘Cause I’m leaving today Here’s another song by Reba, SOMEONE SHOULD LEAVE… Somebody should leave But which one should it be You need the kids And they need me Somebody should leave No doubt, Reba has done much to promote divorce in America by pushing feminist rebellion through her music and videos. Reba represents the sinful PRIDE of the Feminist Movement. Reba is a real man these days, strutting around on stage while bellowing out her feminist garbage. Note in the above chart that the divorce rate has recently dropped because people just aren’t getting married anymore. A Couple Secular Women Whom I Admire Sadly, America is lacking strong men to lead. Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney puts 95% of the rest of congress to shame. I greatly admire her tenacityto stand against the higher powers, for what she believes is right. Cynthia McKinney was the first member of Congress to call for an investigation into George Bush’s prior knowledge of 911. She also faithfully spoke up FOR the American people, by requesting an investigation into the THEFT of the 2000 presidential election by the Bush family. I certainly don’t agree with all of Cynthia McKinney’s views; but she is an American hero in her own right. Our congress is lacking for real men! I thank God for the few good congressmen like Dr. Ron Paul of Texas, but the majority of those in congress are just collecting pay-checks. Where are the congress-MEN? Why do U.S. borders remain open, as 11,000 illegals flood into the U.S. daily? Why doesn’t congress care? Of the 535 members of congress, I dare say 15 are worth their cost to the American people. Thank God for those in congress who take a firm stand. I also greatly admire Phyllis Schlafly, the president of Eagle Forum, who was named one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century by the Ladies’ Home Journal. In a ten-year battle, Mrs. Schlafly led the pro-family movement to victory over the principal legislative goal of the radical feminists, the Equal Rights Amendment. Would to God we had many more such women in America. Read what Mrs. Schlafly has to say about the evils of feminism. ______________________________________“Feminist ideology about the goal of gender-neutrality and the absence of innate differences between males and females goes out the window when it comes to the subject of domestic violence. Feminist dogma is that the law should assume men are batterers and women are victims.” SOURCE: Feminist Abuse of Domestic Violence Laws, by Phyllis Schlafly ______________________________________God help America! America is being led in the wrong direction by selfish, evil, occult inspired men at the highest levels of government. Perhaps we do need a woman to lead America because the men are doing a horrible job. The American people have NO LEADERSHIP. Our government is doing what it wants without our approval. No American approved the bloodshed in Iraq and the theft of over $1,000,000,000,000 from the American people. Meanwhile, millions of Americans arelosing their homes. We have been betrayed by our government leaders. Wake up America! Mutual Submission “Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.” —Ephesians 5:21Perhaps you’d be surprised to learn that the Bible teaches “Mutual Submission.” This is taught in Ephesians 5:21, “Submitting yourselves one to another.” A husband is to submit to his wife as much as she is to submit to him; BUT, the wife is to submit first, or in a conflict situation. The husband is the head of the home, even as. This is Biblical. Ephesians 5:23, “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.” Someone’s got to be in charge. Someone must lead, and another follow. Although coming to a mutual decision as husband and wife would be ideal, things don’t always work out that way. If the wife refuses to submit, then the marriage quickly becomes a two-headed monstrosity. Feminists resent the idea that a husband should have control over his wife’s activates; but Biblically he does. Feminists like to portray authoritative husbands as controlling and abusive (and a few no doubt are); BUT, it is wrongful to use extreme cases to justify feminist rebellion. We see quite a bit of this extremism in society today. For example: Abortionists are quick to bring up a woman using a coat-hanger in some back alley to give her self an abortion as justification for abortion. Not one such case has ever been medically recorded in America. Yet, abortionists continue to make mention of this urban legend whenever the issue is brought up. It is ridiculous. The O.J. Simpson is another example of extremism in American society today. The police allegedly didn’t respond fast enough in the O.J. case, so now law enforcement nationwide responds to every marital dispute as a potential murder case. It’s ridiculous. Consequently, a wife today merely needs to make an allegation to the police and her husband must legally be removed from his own home. There is a demonic agenda at work to destroy marriages in America. The family is under attack in America, as part of the ongoing effort to bring to fruition a New World Order, in which children are under total control of the State and parents are mere caregivers over their own children with little or no authority. The Bible does not approve of spousal abuse; however, much of what feminists today define as “domestic abuse” is ridiculous. A husband who restricts who his wife associates with is defined as being “abusive.” The same is true of a husband who monitors his wife’s whereabouts, time and activities. Biblically, a husband has a God-given right to rule over his wife (Genesis 3:16). There is no perfect marriage and most of being a good Christian is just HANGING IN THERE. Too many women abandon their marriages during the “for worse” times. You made a promise on your wedding day “until death do us part.” Women Have Power of Influence Over Men Feminists have an attitude of resentment toward the entire notion of a woman OBEYING a man. To the feminist, submission is demeaning, and obedience to a husband a form of slavery. But the Bible teaches for a woman to submit to her husband. Ephesians 5:22, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.” A Christian wife sets her mind upon God and the Bible. She realizes that obeying her husband is absolutely essential if she is to please God. She understands that she is not a slave; but rather is the “weaker vessel” according to the Bible. She does not feel inferior because she knows that her husband’s happiness and success are greatly influenced by her. She is the roses in the garden, the brightness in his life. A man without his wife is sad, lonely and unfulfilled. According to 1st Peter 3:1, a wife oftentimes can win her husband over to the Lord, even if he won’t listen to God. 1st Peter 3:1, “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.” Adam followed Eve, not God. Look what Delilah did to Samson. Consider Job’s wife, who discouraged him further, after losing nearly everything to his name. Many rebellious wives have driven their marriage into the ground; and others have salvaged their marriage through love, patience and a refusal to break her marriage vows. As we read in Proverb 14:1, “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” If you’re a fool, then don’t obey God; but, you’ll be the loser in the long run. Many women today are Turned Aside After Satan. God will not be mocked. A wife who disobeys her husband, causing him grief, will be judged by God. “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also maywithout the word be won by the conversation of the wives;” —1st Peter 3:1 The long hair on a woman signifies her submission to her own husband. A wife is not obligated to obey any other man except her own husband. God created every woman for a man, to be a “help meet” (Genesis 2:18). There is NO greater calling in the world than for a wife to be a HELP MEET. Increasingly, women are foolishly turning in their aprons for briefcases. The price to pay to be a career woman is very high. I read about women freezing their eggs and holding off on having children until their careers are over. How insane can you get? God wants women to marry, bare children, guide the house, and live above reproach (1st Timothy 5:14). Feminism is an insane form of thinking in the mind of a woman that causes her to forfeit God’s best will for her life. Feminism will ROB you of God’s blessings. “I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.” —1st Timothy 5:14 Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives, and Women Preachers! Feminism is Destroying America! American society has deteriorated in so many ways over the past few decades. Most notably can be seen the spiritual decay of our society. Our founding fathers never envisioned a time when homosexuals would be granted legal permission to marry. It was a sad day in America when abortion became legal in 1972. God will not bless a nation that goes into sin. The very term, “Sin City,” given to Las Vegas is a testimony against us as a nation. We deserve judgment from God. The root cause of all these sins is rebellion, feminism, which God says is equal in His eyes to the sin of witchcraft. 1st Samuel 15:23a, “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.” It was the rebellion of the 1960’s that gave birth to the Feminist Movement, which led to fornication and millions of unwanted pregnancies and consequently, the abortion industry. The spiritual life of a nation cannot rise above its women. Woe unto America! “For some are already turned aside after Satan.” —1st Timothy 5:15In the midst of such wickedness, we are witnessing increased insanity day-by-day, a time when lesbian women would rather receive artificial insemination and live with another woman, then marry a man. This is bizarre. The entire lesbian community was spawned by feminism. Feminism confuses both women and men about who they are. Feminism is one of the most destructive forces in the United States today, if not the most. The divorce rate has been steadily increasing ever since the turn of the 20th century, particularly in recent decades. “Those who want to destroy the family will continue to urge mothers to leave the home and ‘become fulfilled in the workplace.’ When the mother goes into the workplace to become ‘fulfilled,’ or to increase the family’s income, she leaves the care of the children to others. Those who warn against such practices will continue to be scorned by the feminists and others who have a hidden agenda: they want to destroy the family.” SOURCE: The New World Order, pg. 245-246, by Ralph A. Epperson; 1990; ISBN: 0-9614135-1-4; publisher: PUBLIUS PRESS, Tucson, Arizona. As feminism continues to creep a like disease into our homes through television, the problem is only getting worse. Women rarely wear dresses anymore and chastity is virtually a thing of the past. A God-fearing woman who dresses like a lady has become more of a novelty nowadays, which is a sad testimony concerning America. Increasingly, America’s youth are becoming arrogant, unthankful, rebellious against parents, hateful, perverted, psychotic, et cetera. One can only imagine how messed up the next generation is going to be. The TV is saturated with dirty-minded shows, inappropriately dressed women, lewd behavior, bedroom scenes, et cetera. A virtuous woman is hard to find nowadays. America is filled today with “careless daughters” as the Bible calls them… “Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.” —Isaiah 32:9 Perhaps you ask, “Don’t I have any rights as a wife? Am I just to be a plain old slave all my days?” Listen carefully now… You don’t have any rights, no rights at all. You lost them on the day you rebelled against God. You lost them, not because you are a woman, but because you are a sinner. Just as I am. Now if Jesus paid the penalty for you, you don’t belong to yourself any more, you belong to Him! The rights you once possessed now are His, the One who bought your salvation and freedom from death. We are slaves to Christ. But don’t forget we already lost our rights. It was our poverty and bondage to sin that drove us to Him. Lets consider this passage… “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.”…”likewise ye wives be in subjection.” —1st Peter 2:21-23 Like whom? LIKE JESUS!!! The submission of the Lord Jesus is our example. He submitted not just to the tender ministrations of the Father. He submitted to the revilings and cursed, persecution and suffering. Jesus was our example, not just to obey a gentle and kind husband but a harsh and mean husband as well. Where are the women of God? There were many feminists in Solomon’s time, just as there are today. Listen to what Solomon had to say about the rebellious feminists of his own time. Ecclesiastes 7:26, “And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.” What a contrast from the virtuous wife of Proverb 31:28, “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Which type of woman are you? What does your husband (or former husband) have to say about you? God knows, and He does care, and you will have to give account for your life. Are you a careless daughter? Isaiah 32:9, “Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.” Are you a feminist? Are you a bossy wife? Are you a meddler in other people’s business? Are you lazy? Do you deceive your husband and hide things from him? Do you shirk off your duties? If so, pray and ask God to forgive you and help you do better for the sake of your family. Feminism is so shallow. What profit is there in refusing to have a happy marriage and a family? Feminists remind me of the dog who chases cars down the street. There’s no real purpose to what he is doing, but it’s the excitement of doing it. Feminists have no real purpose in what they’re doing, but it’s something exciting to do. Feminism has never accomplished anything meaningful, except to increase the workforce, which is hardly something to be proud of. If you’re a feminist, God loves you and so do I. I mean no harm in this article, but there’s so much better God has for you within His will. Feminism is hardly about equal rights for women; it is about rebellion against a masculine God and masculine authority. The Bible speaks of God the Father (masculine) and God the Son (masculine). Some feminists have gone so far to the left as to concoct a whole new heresy called “Feminist Theology,” which errantly teaches a feminine side to the Godhead. God is masculine in nature. There’s also something called “feminist spirituality” which teaches women that it’s acceptable to God to get an abortion. They try to make an abortion a “spiritual experience.” Like it or not, God is an authoritative God. God the Father has stated in His Word that a person can only get to Heaven through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ (John 14:6). That is an absolute truth. There are no exceptions. It’s either God’s way or the highway. If you’re a woman who doesn’t like an authoritative father or husband or pastor, then you won’t like God either. It’s God’s way or the Lake of Fire. Repent or burn! Feminism resents any type of authoritative masculine authority, such as a responsible father who sets and enforces rules, and a husband who does the same for his wife. Biblically, a man has the right to set rules for his wife. It is a matter of authority, which is ordained of God. Hebrews 13:17, “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Sara obeyed Abraham, even calling him lord (master). 1st Peter 3:6, “Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.” It is rare to find a woman these days who reverences her husband as Sara did Abraham. American society has become so rotten, evidenced by the utterly high divorce rate and manner in which women speak of the husbands. “She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.” —Proverb 31:12How the Rockefellers Re-Engineered Women By Henry Makow Ph.D. Feminism is an excellent example of how the Rockefeller mega cartel uses the awesome power of the mass media (i.e. propaganda.) to control society. In 40 short years, many women have lost touch with their natural loving instincts. Consequently, the family is in disarray, sexual depravity is rampant and birth rates have plummeted. I will expand on the Rockefeller’s role, but first we need to remember that for a woman, love is an instinctive act of self-sacrifice. She gives herself to her husband and children and is fulfilled by seeing them thrive and receiving their love, respect and gratitude. A woman makes this supreme sacrifice to only one man who will cherish her and provide for his family. Men instinctively want to fulfill this responsibility. This is the essence of the heterosexual contract (i.e. marriage): female power in exchange for male power expressed as love. Sex is the symbol of this exclusive bond. Marriage and family may not be for everyone but it is the natural path for most. Feminism has trained women to reject this model as “an old fashioned, oppressive stereotype” even though it reflects their natural instincts. On Thursday a British writer reported overhearing two young women: “All men are useless these days,” one said. “Yeah,” said the other. “The trouble is that they haven’t risen to the challenge of feminism. They don’t understand that we need them to be more masculine, and instead they have just copped out.” That’s their logic? If women are less feminine, men will be more masculine? Men aren’t designed to fight with women. They need to be affirmed by a woman’s acquiescence and faith. When women constantly challenge them, men will “cop out” of marriage and family. Now that love and marriage have been “discredited,” women have nothing left to exchange for love but sex. Thus, many are unnaturally obsessed with appearance and pathetically give their bodies to all and sundry. Permanent love is not based on a woman’s sex appeal, or personality or achievements. Ultimately, it is based on self-sacrifice. We love the people who love us. THE BIG PICTURE: THE CENTRAL BANKERS People do not realize that feminism is mass indoctrination because they cannot identify the perpetrator, the means or the motive. Recently Aaron Russo, the producer of Bette Midler’s movies and “America: From Freedom to Fascism” identified all three confirming what I have been saying. While trying to recruit Russo for the CFR, Nicholas Rockefeller told him that his family foundation created women’s liberation using mass media control as part of a long-term plan to enslave humanity. He admitted they want to “chip us.” Google “Rockefeller Foundation” and “Women’s Studies” and you’ll get a half million citations. The hidden goal of feminism is to destroy the family, which interferes with state brainwashing of the young. Side benefits include depopulation and widening the tax base. Displacing men in the role of providers also destabilizes the family. A drastic paradigm shift is required to make sense of the world. The Rockefellers are part of the private world central banking cartel that also controls media, defence, pharmaceutical and other cartels. To protect their monopoly of credit and wealth, they are instituting a world police state (“world government”) using the bogus 9-11 attack and endless war as a pretext. Rockefeller told Russo about this plan a year before 9-11. The poet Charles Peguy said, “Everything begins in faith and ends in politics.” The banking cartel needs a philosophy to justify enchaining mankind. That philosophy is Satanism. The cartel controls the world through a network of occult societies linked to Freemasonry, Communism, the Vatican and organized Jewry (Bnai Brith, ADL, AJC, Zionism.) The highest occult rank is known as the Illuminati. Modern Western culture is Masonic. Based on Luciferianism, Freemasonry teaches that man and not God determines reality. (Naturally, they need to overrule natural and spiritual laws in order to assert their own control.) They have noticed that people are diffident malleable creatures who prefer to believe what they are told than trust their own reason or perception. Thus, for example, the media successfully promotes homosexual values that conflict with our natural instincts. MEDIA ERADICATES LOVE Every facet of the mass media (movies, TV, magazines, music, commercials, news) is used for indoctrination and social control with the ultimate goal of enslavement. There is a connection between what happened in Communist Russia and what is happening in America today. In both cases, the central banking cartel is asserting its totalitarian control. In order to destroy the family, the media convinced women that they could not rely on the heterosexual contract. Myrna Blyth was the editor in chief of Ladies Home Journal from 1981 to 2002. In her book “Spin Sisters” (2004) she says the media sold women “a career in exactly the same drum banging way that the Happy Homemaker had been ..sold to their mothers.” (38) The Illuminati undermined women’s natural loving instincts using the following mantras: 1. Men can no longer be trusted. Using the Lifetime Network as an example, Blyth concluded “all men are 1) unfaithful rats 2) abusive monsters 3) dishonest scumbags, or 4) all of the above. Women on the other hand were…flinty achievers who triumph despite the cavemen who…want to keep them in their place.” (62-63) 2. Women are victims by virtue of their sex. Blyth says the media sends “one message loud and clear. Because we are women, we remain victims in our private lives, at work, in society as a whole.” (156) Thus women must have a sense of grievance, entitlement and rebellion. The same tactic was used to manipulate Jews, Blacks, workers and gays. (See my “Victim as Moral Zombie” ) 3. Women should be selfish. “Liberation and narcissism have merged,” Blyth says. Leisure now means, “time for yourself, spent alone, or perhaps with one’s girlfriends but definitely without spouse and kids…Endless articles preached the new feminist gospel, that indulging yourself is an important part of being a healthy, well adjusted woman.” (65) 4. Sex is not reserved for love and marriage. Magazines like Glamour and Cosmopolitan urge young women to “put out on their first date,”ogle men openly” and be an athlete in bed. There is no discussion of marriage or family. (160) Such women can’t trust a man enough to surrender themselves in love. 5. Self-fulfillment lies in career success and not husband and family. “The social rewards of holding down a job are critical to one’s sense of dignity and self worth,” Betty Friedan pontificated. In fact, “most work is deeply ordinary,” Blyth observes (35-36.) Thus many women are schizophrenic as they attempt to reconcile their natural instincts with constant exhortations to do the opposite. The wreckage — broken families and dysfunctional people — is strewn everywhere. At the same time, Playboy Magazine etc. aimed a similar message at men. You don’t need to get married to have sex. Marriage and children are a bore. CONCLUSION This consistent media drumbeat is organized brainwashing. Society has been totally subverted by the central banking cartel, using a Satanic cult, Freemasonry as its primary instrument. Most masons are unaware of the truth but the owners of the mass media certainly are. We used to say, “as American as motherhood and apple pie.” Only satanists would trash motherhood. Far from empowering women, feminism has unsexed many. It has deprived them of a secure and valued social role and reduced them to sex objects and replaceable workers. Luciferians promote rebellion because they are defying what is natural and conducive to happiness. Like their symbol, Lucifer, they wish to play God. God’s love can be seen in a woman’s dedication to her husband and children. Thus the bankers must destroy it. ← When Nancy Pelosi isn’t making millions in exchange for ambassadorships or trying to dismantle the 2nd amendment from the safety of her ivory tower, the Congresswoman from California enjoys parading minorities around to shill for various causes.

Most colleges don’t have the research staff, or desire, to chase down graduates and find out what they’re making. But states have been collecting income data for years, and some — Virginia, Maryland, Nevada and Florida — have passed laws requiring their education departments to compile and release it, or post it voluntarily. Other free sites help students calculate R.O.I., or return on investment: the cost of attending set against future earnings.
Unfortunately, not one of these tools is based on complete or particularly good data. And no site allows students to do what most probably want to do: pick a handful of colleges across the country and compare earnings achieved by graduates in various majors.
The institution most obviously suited to reporting what students earn after college is the federal government. The United States Department of Education already collects graduation data from all states, and the Internal Revenue Service tracks earnings. But the law prevents matching individuals’ transcript information to employment data. A bill introduced in the Senate, the Student Right to Know Before You Go Act, is seeking to overturn that ban. It wants the government to publish earnings and employment metrics sorted by major, degree, college and state up to 15 years after graduation.
While the predictive value of currently available salary tools is limited, they can reveal patterns that might inspire students to consider different choices. Earnings data show that “two-year technical degrees from community colleges can be incredibly valuable,” said Mark Schneider, president of College Measures, which developed a tool, with funds from the Lumina Foundation, that some states are using to compare incomes. For example, Texas students with two-year technical degrees have average first-year median earnings of about $50,000 — $11,000 more than graduates with bachelor’s degrees. In Colorado, students with associate degrees in applied science earn a starting salary almost $7,000 more, on average, than that of graduates with B.A.’s.“So if you’re on the fence about getting a bachelor’s degree,” Mr. Schneider said, “these technical degrees are something you should explore.”
Another takeaway: “You want to go to the flagship public college because it has a better football team,” Mr. Schneider said. “But in every state we’ve worked in, many students graduating from the regional campuses end up just as well off. Sometimes they even beat them.” Health profession majors at the University of Tennessee’s flagship in Knoxville, for example, fall behind those at the Martin campus, $46,770 to $58,592. | positive |
ABC News Vice President Joe Biden called the Iranian-backed plot to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States "outrageous," pledging that Iran will be "held accountable" for its actions.
"It's an outrageous that violates one of the fundamental premises of on which nations deal with one another and that is the sanctity and safety of their diplomats," Biden said on ABC's Good Morning America. "This is really over the top. They have to be held accountable and we're in the process of uniting world public opinion toward continuing to isolate and condemn their behavior."
Biden added that the administration plans to "unite the whole world," against the country — saying "nothing has been taken off the table."
"It's not the United states vs. Iran, that the isolation of Iran and the attempt to change the behavior is universal, not just, not just with us," he said.

Researchers studying the bones of an ancient skeleton in Washington state have uncovered an interesting twist to the man's original "paleo" diet.
Scientists have been examining the mysterious Kennewick skeleton since it was found near that city in 1996. The skeleton dates back 9,000 years and appears to be of a different ethnicity than other indigenous people, according to Henry Schwarcz, a geochemist and professor emeritus at the School of Geography and Earth Sciences at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
Why You're Doing the Paleo Diet All Wrong
Popular Paleo Diet Becomes Way of Life For Some
3D Printer Used to Design Custom-Made Heart Pacemakers
Schwarcz, who studies the diets of ancient people by analyzing isotopes in bones, said he was amazed after analyzing the collagen in the bones of Kennewick man in an effort to identify his paleodiet.
"This guy was apparently living on a diet almost exclusively of marine foods; foods that come from the ocean," Schwarcz said.
The results are surprising because the man was found 350 miles inland along the Columbia River near plains that were teeming with terrestrial wildlife. While he could have been subsisting on salmon swimming upstream, he was likely not venturing to hunt in the fields.
"He was choosing not to eat that wildlife," Schwarcz said.
The geochemist explained that the Kennewick man may have "had a prejudice against eating footed creatures. That’s not really something that we [see.]"
Kennewick said it's unclear why he didn't try to branch out and eat other wildlife in the area.
The time period for the Kennewick skeleton is just under the timeline cited by followers of the "paleo" diet, who aim to eat the same way people ate 10,000 to 2.5 million years before agriculture took hold.
Ken Sayers, an anthropologist at Georgia State University in Atlanta and one of the lead authors of the recent Quarterly Review of Biology of how ancient people ate, said there is little evidence to suggest early humans subsisted on a specialized diet.
“Whatever angle you chose to look at the diets of our early ancestors, it’s hard to pinpoint any one particular feeding strategy,” Sayers said.

John Edwards should challenge his rivals Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to go back to Washington, DC and fight against retroactive immunity for the telecoms.
The Republicans are not going to let Reid punt and extend the Protect America Act for another 18 months so it looks like the FISA bill is going to come back up again on Monday. Chris Dodd’s objection to Unanimous Consent still stands, so they will pick up in the middle of the Motion to Proceed debate.
Glenn Greenwald:
It will be increasingly difficult to listen to Edwards, Obama and Clinton tout their supreme leadership attributes and their commitment to "changing the way Washington works" if they choose to sit by, more or less mute, and allow such a blatant and corrupt evisceration of the rule of law — and such a vast and permanent expansion of the limitless surveillance state — to occur without a fight. Any one of them, or all three, has a unique opportunity to actually demonstrate with actions, rather than pretty speeches, their commitment to the principles they claim to espouse.
John Edwards is the perfect person to lead with this message. Such an action would illustrate his genuine commitment to change and fighting vested interests in Washington, and hopefully it will channel that intense anti-immunity passion toward his campaign. He won’t be able to participate in the filibuster himself, but by offering to leave the campaign trail and go back to DC with Clinton and Obama he’ll be able to show leadership in challenging all Democrats to put thoughts of personal gain aside and join together in the fight to save the constitution.
Without the help of the presidential candidates, we are doomed to lose this fight. And all their calls for change will ring hollow if they allow George Bush to railroad this bill through a supine Democratic-controlled Senate because of their absence.
You can email Senator Edwards directly at [email protected].
(We’ll be working with Glenn Greenwald and others to fight against retroactive telecom immunity in the coming days. If you’d like to receive updates about what you can do, sign up here. You can contact Clinton, Obama and McCain here.) | positive |

Her dad was created in Bulgaria towards the category of an Armenian refugee in the notorious suppression from the Armenians with the Ottoman Empire in 1914 and 1915. Her dad, in turn, still left Bulgaria, fleeing the Communist federal government there and settling in Turkey. Her dad was the main violist from the Istanbul Condition Symphony Orchestra, where he fulfilled Ani’s mother, an associate from the initial violin section. Ani recalls that there is no particular anti-Armenian sentiment in Istanbul when she was a girl, but it reappeared during anti-Greek riots that broke out in 1956 over the problem of self-reliance of Cyprus. The Kavafian family members still left Turkey and resolved in suburban Detroit. At that time, Ani’s youthful sister Ida have been blessed (Oct 29, 1952). Ani got a strong fascination with learning piano and researched that device, but recalled that she utilized to constantly put her hearing against the entranceway to her mother’s practice space just therefore she could hear the violin. From 1957, both girls began acquiring violin lessons from Ara Zerounian and later on from Mischa Mischakoff. Ani recalls Mischakoff as a hardcore teacher who especially stressed precision of intonation. Once, she says, he got her violin, untuned the strings, performed her music flawlessly in tune, after that handed it to her and demanded she perform the same: “No excuses! No real matter what your open up strings are performing you ought to be able to change.” In 1966, she visited NY to enter the Juilliard College, where she analyzed with Ivan Galamian. It really is to this instructor that she attributed the introduction of her audio which, she says, was “fairly but really small” when she 1st found him, and credits Sally Thomas as creating a solid specialized foundation through regular drills. Sister Ida adopted the same profession path, coming to Juilliard in 1969, and both have regularly performed together in a variety of types of chamber music. Ani produced her debut that 12 months at Carnegie Recital Hall. Her Western debut is at Paris in 1973. She and Ida possess both founded leading violin professions. Ani toured broadly in the 1970s, showing up using the world’s leading orchestras. She’s appeared on the Light House 3 x and on tv frequently. She became a member of the faculties from the Manhattan College of Music and Mannes University of Music in the 1980s. In 1979, she became a member of the Chamber Music Culture of Lincoln Middle. She became the mature person in that firm (which afterwards also included Ida). Although she loves the typical repertory (specially the Mozart, Brahms, and Mendelssohn concertos), Ani is most beneficial known for twentieth hundred years music. She is especially keen on the Bartók second and Shostakovich initial concertos, the concerto of Samuel Barber, which of Korngold. She frequently has the Khachaturian concerto, but one has got the impression that is due to the Armenian link with that work. She’s premiered Henri Lazarof’s Concerto for violin and string orchestra and Tod Machover’s Concerto for hyper violin and orchestra (utilizing a violin as insight to a pc to produce expanded sounds). She actually is wedded to Bernard Mindich, an designer. Their child, Matthew, is usually a encouraging cello college student. Ani Kavafian is the owner of the 1736 device referred to as the Muir-Mackenzie Stradivarius.

Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ has been operating out of our beautiful and dearly beloved three- storey, 1920s brick building on Barry Parade in Fortitude Valley for 25 years. Over that time a few environmental and structural factors have conspired against us to produce a serious list of building repairs. The Building Blitz fundraising project seeks to raise $15,000 in donations to not only address immediate building repairs, but rectify various structural issues within the building that caused the damage in the first place to ensure that #BarryBouncesBack. With your contributions we will be able to undertake a complete solution to the issue and ensure Barry, our iconic 4ZZZ building, stands strong well into the future.
We can complete a lot of maintenance with $15k, but imagine what we could do with double that. Well, since you’ve brought it up, that’s exactly what we are doing! For every dollar you donate to stand strong for Barry, our mates at Creative Partnerships Australia will match your contribution dollar for dollar through their Plus1 program. This means that when we hit our 15k target for donations, Creative Partnerships Australia will chuck in another 15k, which could see the final amount 4ZZZ receives for crucial building works skyrocket to $30,000! If a doubled-value, tax deductible donation isn’t enticing enough, in admiration of your contribution your name will go down in Zed history on our ‘Wall of Thanks’ to be painted inside the Barry Parade building once we’ve reached our target and completed the repairs. | positive |

The bibs are made out of great material and fit perfectly! Very soft and durable. The pacifier clips are great! The metal clasp is very strong and doesn't slip off easily like some do (very important when you have twin boys constantly trying to steal each other's binkies! haha!) will order from again! Thanks! Yes, I recommend this product S***q My son had terrible acid reflux and had to wear bibs all the time. The main issue we had was that he spit up so much he would soak his bibs really fast and his clothes and chest would be wet all the time. I got these hoping they would fit around his neck better (not droop down) and be thick enough to keep him drier. They definitely did what I was looking for. Super happy I bought them. Yes, I recommend this product K***p I ordered these for my grandson when he was 2 months old. A friend had recommended them highly. My grandson does a lot of spitting up. These work great at saving his onesies. They’re soft and thick and consequently, very absorbent! Yes, I recommend this product A***q I LOVE these bibs! My youngest baby drools SO much. He is super sensitive to drool rashes as well, and other bibs just weren’t cutting it. I read a lot of reviews and finally settled on these. He still goes through 2-3 a day, but they rarely soak through the backing material. Yes, I recommend this product L***d I fell in love with the bibs from the moment I opened the package. I used them to protect my sons tracheostomy from sand while we were at the beach. They are so soft and super cute. They would perfect!

Best bibs I've ever used and wouldn't buy any different now. My sonson bib can get soaking but be dry at the other side....worth every penny Yes, I recommend this product J***d Cute! These are really nice I wash them in the washer and then dry them in the dryer and they have held up I wash them after every use. We go through one or two a day. They absorb really well and wash very nicely. Yes, I recommend this product H***s Love love love! Worth every penny, super absorbent saves me so much washing. My little man has a super chubby neck I struggled to find bibs that looked good and did the job they were meant to. Any bandana style ones I've tried before curled up as they were too small. These are super absorbent, and the variety of patterns matches all my little boys outfits. If I had a little girl I'd put these on her too they're just lovely, and so cute!

The meeting noted that the project was progressing on schedule. Late 2015 is scheduled for the gas pipeline’s first string commissioning. The Company’s Management Committee was tasked to continue the work and inform the Board of Directors about the project implementation in the fourth quarter of 2010. Background: The South Stream project is implemented with a view to diversify the routes of natural gas supply to European consumers and envisages construction of a gas pipeline running under the Black Sea to the countries of Southern and Central Europe. A provision is made to gradually build up the South Stream capacity. The projected throughput capacity of the South Stream offshore section will reach a total of 63 billion cubic meters per year. Intergovernmental agreements were signed with Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Greece, Slovenia, Croatia and Austria in order to implement the project’s onshore section beyond Russia. At present, the South Stream Consolidated Feasibility Study is being elaborated including the studies for the offshore section and for the respective gas pipelines in the countries of Southern and Central Europe.

Home About OUR STORY COMPANY OVERVIEW LEADERSHIP Process Benefits Services Projects Contact Scroll About RMOD, an off-site building solutions provider, builds smarter, quicker and cost-effectively. Our Story Relevant Group is a vertically integrated, design-focused real estate development company with more than 100 years combined experience in development and construction, and a portfolio featuring more than $1 billion in current projects. Through a focus on distinctive lifestyle developments, Relevant Group has earned a reputation for creating placemaking destinations that enliven urban neighborhoods. In 2017, after acquiring properties with affordable housing covenants and a requirement to replace units one to one, aligned with an unprecedent housing crisis, Relevant Group began dedicating efforts towards the affordable housing sector and Relevant Living was formed. Company Overview The challenge to finding alternative building methods was eminent and we saw modular construction as a response – the vehicle for success. Modular construction is a well-established industry that has been around for decades offering numerous benefits. We were specifically looking for a company that would seamlessly help manage the process from beginning to end, however, we found an industry filled with bespoke solution without complete specificity. What we were looking for did not exist on the scale that we needed, so we sought out to do it not only for ourselves but for other developers looking for the same all-encompassing solution. Our objective is to provide a means to infill and facilitate the housing demand by streamlining and simplifying the entire process to deliver high-value, superior quality, low-to-mid-rise developments with certainty and speed. Leadership Modular manufacturers know modular construction. RMOD has the best-in-class modular team combined with Relevant Group’s in-house development experts, allowing RMOD to provide exceptional modular solutions with the full support of an experienced development team. The RMOD team is geographically disbursed to provide local knowledge on a nationwide and international scale. RMOD is an organization of best-in-class.

KIVALINA, ALASKA — This tiny and isolated town of 400 cannot be reached by road. It lies on a fragile barrier island along the Chukchi Sea, 83 miles above the Arctic circle. And for generations, the Iñupiat people of the region have hunted gigantic bowhead whales from camps atop the sea ice that stretches out from the town’s icy shores.
But in recent years, climate change has thinned the ice so much that it has become too dangerous to hunt the whales. Soon, the U.S. government says, it may be too dangerous to live here at all, with less sea ice to protect the barrier island from powerful waves that wash across the village.
“Global warming has caused us so much problems,” said Joseph Swan, Sr., a Kivalina elder, at a town meeting last week. The ice “does not freeze like it used to. It used to be like 10 to 8 feet thick, way out in the ocean.”
The question now facing the town, the state of Alaska, and the nation is whether to move the people of Kivalina to a safer location nearby, either inland or further down the coast — and who would pay upwards of a hundred million dollars to do it. It’s a question already facing Kivalina and a handful of other native Alaskan villages, and in the coming decades could apply to numerous other towns along U.S. coastlines. Here, climate change is less a future threat and more a daily force, felt in drastic changes to weather, loss of traditional means of sustenance like whale hunting, and the literal vanishing of land.
“We have a whole bunch of infrastructure that we need to move, that the government should be moving themselves,” said Colleen Swan, who sits on the City Council and also works in disaster preparedness for the community. “I would like to live without having to worry about having to evacuate, or having to run.”
The role the U.S. government will play is still an open question. Interior secretary Sally Jewell came to Kivalina last week to highlight the problems facing the town, and President Obama has proposed $50.4 million in federal spending to help Native American communities grapple with climate change. Yet that is less than half of what’s estimated to be needed to relocate Kivalina alone.
Congress, controlled by Republicans skeptical of federal spending and interventions to stem climate change, may not approve even that. While it is not clear how congressional Republicans will respond to this budget request, in the past they have objected to climate-related initiatives, for instance the administration’s recent pledge to spend up to $3 billion to help other nations adapt to climate change.
“The President’s climate change agenda has only siphoned precious taxpayer dollars away from the real problems facing the American people,” said Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okl.) late last year.

One of Alaska’s Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski, says she doesn’t trust the administration’s moves on Kivalina.
“Senator Murkowski acknowledges the impacts of climate change on Alaska’s coastal communities and believes that the federal government should step up its relief role, but she does not want Alaska’s rural communities used merely as political talking points,” said her spokesman Matthew Felling. But Murkowski does support using federal dollars to help Alaska native communities protect their communities and even relocate if that’s what’s they choose to do, he said.
For the Obama administration, the problem is lack of funding. “While we do not expect that funding of this scale could support actual relocation, it could be used to support long-term resilience planning, planning that could consider relocation as determined by the community as well as other actions and approaches,” said Jessica Kershaw, Interior Press Secretary.
Other funding then might have to come from other sources, a problem that is sure to rear its head more frequently, first in the Arctic — where climate change is stark and rapid — but later as it increasingly affects coastal cities around the country and world. At least one climate relocation is now complete abroad — the small village of Vunidogoloa, in Fiji, was relocated inland last year by the Fiji government.

“There’s no government agency that has the responsibility to relocate a community, nor the funding to do it,” says Robin Bronen, a director of the Alaska Immigration Justice Project, a human rights group, and a senior research scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. “It means that for communities like Kivalina, they don’t know what steps they need to take to get which government agencies involved.”
If it is not getting enough resources, Kivalina is at least getting more attention. Last week, Sally Jewell made the first visit to the town by an interior secretary in its 110 year history.
“Your story will help the world understand what’s happening right here,” said Jewell at a town meeting in the basketball court of Kivalina’s only school, a day before announcing $8 million in funding to help native communities adjust. “It will help us make the case for climate change in the U.S. Congress. It will help us bring the kind of resources that we have to bring to bear for people like you, and for people in other parts of the world that live in coastal communities that are at high risk.”
Residents of Kivalina suggest the U.S. government may have a special responsibility to relocate them — after all, they say, it helped put them there over a century ago. A 1906 Interior Department report records that $50,000 was appropriated for the “education of natives in Alaska,” leading to the construction of 26 schools, including one at Kivalina.
As one historian notes, the establishment of government schools led to the “consolidation” of previously mobile hunting and fishing communities in larger, stationary villages, like Kivalina.
Today, the town consists of some 85 homes, as well as two water tanks, an airstrip, a post office, and its largest building, the school. Recently the town’s only general store burned down, leaving a large mess of tangled metal and wood. A complete wolfskin hangs outside one home; towards the frozen beach, a group of sled dogs tied to tethers. Elsewhere, a jettisoned car is half buried in snow. The villagers live in cramped conditions without running water in most buildings, and have to haul their own trash and sewage to dump sites.
For Kivalina, the risk is all about the thinning Arctic sea ice — a phenomenon plainly visible from the sky. Along much of the coast, open water was visible just offshore, instead of being fully covered by seasonal sea ice, as is more typical of mid-February in the area.
The scenery reflected what multiple scientific assessments have found about the changing Arctic. It is warming at “twice the rate of anywhere else on Earth,” according to a 2014 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report. One reason is a climate “feedback” in which rising temperatures melt the ice. Then, the loss of highly reflective sea ice exposes darker ocean water beneath. The darker sea absorbs more solar radiation — retaining more heat and leading to still more ice melt.
Arctic sea ice has been declining markedly over the past few decades, which also means that sturdy, so-called “multiyear” ice — which builds up its bulk over many seasons — is being replaced with ice that is “younger,” having formed much more recently. Young ice is thinner and more fragile. Arctic sea ice extent in January was at its third lowest level on record for that month, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, and especially low in the Bering Sea south of Kivalina.
Along with the ice goes the stability of the tiny barrier island itself. Weak sea ice in February presages a longer summer and fall season without protective ice along the shore. And that lengthening ice free period – it has increased from 3 months to “as much as 5 months” one report found — is when Kivalina is vulnerable to fall sea storms, which can hurl large waves at the town. Without sea ice to mute their force, the waves can strip away the island’s very existence through erosion.
“As we grew up, we’ve never seen the water come over the village, but in the last 10 years, it came over the village at least three times,” Millie Hawley, president of the Native Village of Kivalina, said last week in a meeting with Jewell.
For well over a decade, experts analyzing Kivalina’s situation have called it untenable. In 2003, the Government Accountability Office said that Kivalina was in “imminent danger” from erosion and from getting over-washed in a storm. “It has long been apparent that the island would eventually succumb to natural forces, and that the village would have to be moved,” wrote the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 2006. In a later 2009 report, the GAO added that no federal agency was taking the lead in addressing threats to Kivalina and other Alaskan native villages, even though everyone could see a potential disaster coming.
A rock erosion barrier, constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to buy the town some time, may have prevented the worst during a powerful winter cyclone in November 2011, which tore down doors and drove waters against the barrier. But the Corps — and everyone in Kivalina — knows that’s only a temporary solution. Kivalina’s villagers have voted to move along the coast a mile to the south, but the Corps has questioned its stability as well.
In the meantime, Kivalina remains torn between tradition and a deeply uncertain future. The struggle is symbolized by two massive whalebone arches — formed from the ribs of bowhead whales caught by villagers more than two decades ago — that lie at the entrance to the town from the airstrip.
“This is in some ways such an unprecedented problem, and a lot of our national policies for disaster have to do with after a disaster occurs,” says Christine Shearer, a researcher who wrote a book about Kivalina and now works for CoalSwarm, which shares information about coal plants. “But with climate change, it’s really about: We need to prepare for what’s coming.”

The San Francisco 49ers run defense was abysmal in 2016, setting records for ineptitude. There were plenty of weak spots, but one reason was the loss of linebacker NaVorro Bowman. The defense was struggling even with Bowman, but losing him in Week 4 was a big issue the final 12 games.
Pro Football Focus posted a rundown of the top run-stopping inside linebackers dating back to 2016. NaVorro Bowman ranked No. 1 among all ILBs in run stop percentage. Here is a GIF with the top five ILBs.

They used their run stop percentage statistic, which is calculated by taking the total number of stops and dividing it by the number of run snaps played. A stop is any play that constitutes a “failure” for the offense. They offered these examples for failures and successes:
A 2-yard run on first down would be considered an offensive failure because it doesn’t really improve their position. A 1-yard run on 4th-and-inches that results in a first down, on the other hand, wouldn’t be considered a failure because the offense greatly improved their position.
NaVorro Bowman is coming off his second lower leg injury in three years. We’ve heard nothing but positives out of the offseason workout program, but we’ll still be keeping an eye on him in training camp and the preseason. The 49ers have added linebacker depth, but how Bowman bounces back will still be huge. His combination of talent and leadership are crucial for a defense that is in the midst of some significant changes. | positive |

Image copyright Reuters Image caption Moroccans outraged by the king's pardon protested outside parliament on Friday
The Moroccan king has revoked a pardon granted to a Spanish man convicted of raping 11 children aged between four and 15, palace officials confirmed.
King Mohammed VI had been unaware of the gravity of the Spaniard's crimes, his cabinet said earlier.
The paedophile was among 48 jailed Spaniards freed by royal pardon, sparking protests and clashes with police in the capital Rabat on Friday.
Protesters had threatened fresh rallies in Rabat and Casablanca next week.
Daniel Galvan Vina, believed to be in his sixties, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in September 2011.
However, last week he was freed by royal decree from a jail in Kenitra, north of the capital. He is reported to have left the country.
'Monstrous crimes'
The king "has decided to withdraw the pardon previously accorded to Daniel Galvan Vina", the palace said in a statement carried by the official Map news agency.
The Ministry of Justice said it would discuss "the next step" with regards to the Spaniard, the agency reported.
Dozens of people were injured in violent confrontations between hundreds of protesters and police outside parliament in the Moroccan capital on Friday.
Demonstrations were also reported in the cities of Kenitra, Tangier and Tetouan, as well as outside the Moroccan embassy in Paris.
"The king was never informed - in any way or at any time - of the seriousness of the abject crimes of which the person concerned was convicted," a statement released by the royal palace said on Sunday.
"It is clear that the sovereign would never have consented" to his release, given the "monstrous crimes" committed, the statement concluded.
It is normal procedure for the king to pardon prisoners on special occasions, such as Throne Day, last Tuesday.
Morocco's Justice Ministry said on Friday the pardons were based on national interests and "friendly relations" with Spain.
A number of foreign nationals have recently been detained in Morocco under suspicion of paedophilia.
In June, a British man was arrested in the port town of Tetouan over allegations of raping a six-year-old girl. In May, a Casablanca court sentenced a French man to 12 years in jail on paedophilia charges.
Thousands of Moroccans marched in Casablanca earlier this year to condemn paedophilia and violence against children in the north African country. | positive |

By Kuljit Parmar July 11, 2022 3 Mins Read Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email Frank Nazar IMAGN Draft Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Breaking down the narrative of the Chicago Blackhawks NHL draft picks at an early stage. The Chicago Blackhawks have some new faces that have fans excited. After a wild 2022 NHL Draft selection class, and from what has transpired it looks like Chicago were winners by adding much needed speed with skill to an ailing lineup, given the need was to build for the future. The shift takes forth towards the farm-team and how they will develop the players mentally and physically, with one to say a few who will be suiting up this upcoming season for the Blackhawks, after evaluating the players in the pre-season time frame. For one, it is time to believe that there is promise and to believe that this will shape up the future of the Chicago Blackhawks history once again, due to the reason the dynasty that had started in 2010 had taken its time to develop. But with today’s game and good old hockey, the team may develop faster, depending on the developmental team associated with the organization. Why general manager made these particular moves was because of the need to build now for the purpose of dumping two hefty contracts and making room for the cap space for next year, and providing the team with enough room to make more bold acquisitions to fit the teams needs as well. The big question is how far along would the new draft picks take them at an early stage? Given that the defense is the strongest feat of the team at this time, it was wise to go with two defensemen and build on a stable selection that gives the team that much added depth to help with managing the team’s focus on on offense. Breaking the limit on the defense system in the NHL for Chicago Blackhawks Not only does it help with veterans like Seth Jones, who will look to lead the rookies, but also pieces such as Jake McCabe and Eric Gustafsson. The upside of the forwards and wingers from this past draft is that most of them will play in the farm leagues for at least one more year before being recalled, but the main ideal concern is how far will these youngsters take this team during the season and hopefully come playoffs. On a positive note however, come this free agency it is evident general manager Kyle Davidson will not be holding back and the offer to moves will be making there way out there.

However, eternity bands and some styles, due to their construction, cannot be sized and will be noted as such. Sizing is complimentary for six months from the date of purchase. Learn More about Ring Sizing When you purchase a ring at Lang Antiques the first sizing is complementary. Please note the following: Most rings can be sized up or down one size unless noted and sometimes can be sized more. Keep in mind that most rings were made to the scale of the size. Large rings are usually too broad across for a small finger and vise versa. Feel free to contact our sizing department to discuss any ring you are considering. Please include your phone number so we can gather information to best size you. If you provide us with an incorrect size there will be an additional charge for the second sizing. There are many things to consider when sizing a ring: The process is similar to fitting a tailored suit or an intricate wedding dress The metal (platinum or gold and the karat of gold) The method of manufacture The size it needs to be and whether we are sizing up or down Shape of fingers - tapered or larger knuckles Fingers swell and change size over the course of the day, after eating salty food or on a hot day The Process: We have a team of highly skilled jewelers who specialize in restoration of antique and period jewelry who are experts at sizing. How long does it take? Sizing a ring takes 10 working days plus or minus. When a ring is made larger we typically cut the base of the shank and add metal. We quality control all our sizings with a microscope and you should not be able to see where it was done. When a ring is made smaller a piece of metal is cut from the base of the shank where it is then soldered or fused solid again. We use traditional as well as modern techniques in the process including lasers for platinum welding. Our Guarantee: We take great pride in the work our jewelers do and quality control all work with a microscope. If for any reason you have a problem resulting from the work we have done we will correct it. We do not guarantee work performed by other jewelers.

Pairing the two can be tricky, since vintage engagement rings rarely come with matching bands, and many modern bands don’t accommodate vintage shapes and designs. So we created a line of vintage-style wedding bands, modeled after original pieces from our collection. Learn More About Art Deco Jewelry Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together. Learn More Jewelry Care As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.

New Laboratorian Excited About Profession
Published March 26, 2016 5:09 PM by March 26, 2016 5:09 PM by Glen McDaniel
As our profession ages and many of us lumber towards retirement, it is often hard to be optimistic. Many are burnt out and never miss an opportunity to tell those just entering the profession what a mistake they are making.
I monitor social media quite a bit, partially to feel the pulse of fellow professionals. I am especially interested in, and curious about, what young professionals like and dislike. When they compare themselves to friends, family and classmates who took a different career route, are they satisfied or dissatisfied with their choice? Do they believe the naysayers who say this is a dying profession where its members are underpaid and under-appreciated?
With that background, I was reading posts on a medical laboratory site on Facebook a week or so back and came up on a post by a young MLS professional; in fact she is still a student.
This is what student Amber Hill wrote on her timeline:
Today was the day that I knew undoubtedly that I have made the right career choice.
I am currently a student and I will graduate next year. I work at a local family owned grocery store part time. There were some bad storms today and the entire town is out of power but my store has a generator (pretty much the only place in town that is open).
The wife of one of the doctors from my local office walks in the front door with a rack of blood and a centrifuge. She asked if she could borrow our power to spin down some blood so that it could be sent off to the lab. I of course jumped at the opportunity to help! (She couldn't even figure out how to open it, let alone balance the thing).
I was ridiculously excited for an entire hour and all I was doing was spinning down blood!
If something as simple as centrifuging blood puts a smile on my face, everything else is icing on the cake.
Within 72 hours Amber’s post had got received 339 “Likes.” That made me very happy.
We are members of a very noble profession. But it’s easy to forget why we chose this vocation. It’s easy to get sucked into all the negativity. Here is a young student recognizing she could use her knowledge to be of service, to contribute (even anonymously) to patient care; and she got excited about doing it. She felt a sense of pride.
Sometimes it takes the simple things to remind us to check our own attitudes. If we have more Ambers out there, this profession will be in very good hands for years to come. | positive |
Students entering postgraduate study in 2017 will have increased access to funds, the Scottish Government has announced.
Eligible Scottish domiciles – those who have a permanent residence in Scotland – undertaking postgraduate taught courses will be able to access a loan of up to £10,000.
The loan can comprise of £5,500 for tuition fees and £4,500 for living costs.
Full-time EU postgraduate students will continue to be eligible to apply for the tuition fee loan for the academic year.
Significant boost
The new scheme, which covers all Masters programmes, aims to make courses more affordable and widen choice for students.

There’s a new way to treat cancer and it has recently gained the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Kymriah is a gene-therapy approach to cancer treatment which is pioneered by Swiss drugmaker Novartis. The drug maker is also going through the process of having the treatment approved by the European Medicines Agency and be made available in Europe. Does it Work? Well, it wouldn’t have gained the approval of the FDA if it does not work, right? However, the Kymriah cell treatment has only been approved for the treatment of patients up to 25 years of age with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is refractory or in second or later relapse. In other words, this is not meant for all cancer patients. As you may note in the Reuters report below, the drug maker is seeking to also get Kymriah approved for adult patients.

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, rarely one to engage in flights of fancy, finished a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the crisis in Ukraine, and then, turning to several of her aides, she said that “she was not sure he was in touch with reality.” The Russian leader, she added, seemed to be “in another world.”
And therein lies a possible source of dangerous misunderstanding, or no understanding, between the leader of Russia, on the one hand, and those of the western nations, including the United States, on the other. Just what does Putin have in mind? This is the central question.
Having gobbled up Crimea, is he now planning to invade the generally pro-Russian eastern half of Ukraine, and split the country in two? Has he indeed lost “touch with reality”? Or, more likely, has he now concluded, pursuing his own cold logic, that he can recapture a large portion of Russia’s former imperial glory by moving aggressively against Ukraine—and doing so with relative impunity? Who, or what, is going to stop him?
Putin is not mad, and he is not in “another world.” He is very much in his own world, which is for him a very realistic world of a new, frothy, determined Russian nationalism. Indeed, he is master of this world.
Now that he has gambled—and won—on a successful, terror-free Olympics, creating a global image of a slick and modern Russia and inspiring ordinary Russians to be proud of their country once again (and polls show they are), he figured it was time to take on the chronic, nagging problem of Ukraine: put simply, whither Ukraine?—east or west?
That question may haunt politicians and pundits in the west, but it does not trouble Putin. He knows the answer: for hundreds of years, Ukraine was part of the Tsarist and Stalinist empires, and it will remain in Russia’s sphere of influence. That is his reading of history, and that is his policy. When it seemed last November as though Ukraine might slip out of Russia’s tight economic and political embrace, and accept a loose form of membership in the European Union, Putin acted swiftly to smash this possibility. He offered then President Yanukovich a $15 billion loan, plus a cut in gas prices, to tie Ukraine to the east, to Russia, thus effectively squashing the illusion of many Ukrainians that they were on the edge of genuine independence through formal association with the west. Putin wanted no part of that.
In despair, Ukrainians organized widespread demonstrations in central Kiev. Anger deepened, as casualties mounted. Finally, protest leaders met with Yanukovich, a Russian emissary appointed by Putin, and the foreign ministers of Poland, Germany and France. They all agreed that Yanukovich would remain in power until December, when new elections would be held under international inspection.
Within 48 hours, the deal collapsed, Yanukovich fled, and the Ukrainian parliament appointed a new and inexperienced government, which was greeted with guarded optimism in the west and obvious disapproval in Moscow. Over the next few days, top Russian officials, fearing they were losing their grip over Ukraine, began to blast the new Ukrainian leaders as “ultranationalists” and even “fascists.” Prime Minister Medvedev described conditions in Kiev as “lawless” and “extremely unstable.” It will end, he predicted, “in a new revolution…and bloodshed.” It seemed as if Medvedev was seeding the ground for a Russian military intervention.
Last weekend, the Russians acted with uncharacteristic precision, suggesting lots of advance planning. They took control of Crimea, a strategic appendage hanging precariously from Ukraine into the Black Sea, where Russia has maintained a major naval base for many years. And, in addition, the Russians seemed to have their eye on the eastern half of Ukraine, where pro- and anti-Russian protesters were in frequent and bloody combat. The Kremlin, in a special statement, said that “any further spread of violence to eastern Ukraine and Crimea” would give Russia “the right to protect its interests and the Russian-speaking population of those regions.”
Though stridently nationalistic and proud of the occasionally restless Russian masses, Putin is also a Russian leader fearful of popular unrest. When tens of thousands of Russians objected to his election a few years ago, he let them demonstrate until the demonstrations became too blatantly anti-him, and then he stopped them. Putin hated the Chechen uprising and crushed it. He distrusts the rising Islamist rattling in nearby Dagestan, and aggressive Russian action there is considered likely, and soon. And, obviously, Putin is prepared to use additional military force, if necessary, to keep Ukraine in his bailiwick.
What can the West do? It can condemn Russia for “blatant aggression.” Its leaders can threaten to boycott the G-8 meeting scheduled for June in Sochi, of all places; it can even threaten to kick Russia out of the G-8. It can impose a number of business sanctions on Russia. It may even produce an economic package to help Ukraine, but big enough? With strict conditions? And while this collective western response to his moves against Ukraine may all end up hurting Russia economically, it will not change Putin’s mind about his controversial war-like policy in Ukraine.
Years ago, when Russia was run by a weaker, older leader, namely Leonid Brezhnev, and Russia sent the Red Army into Afghanistan, ostensibly to save a communist government in trouble, the West wailed and President Carter decided to boycott the Moscow Olympics. East-West relations suffered, no doubt, but Brezhnev did not change his reckless policy. He did what he thought he had to do to protect Russian interests and to project Russian power, just as Putin is doing right now.
Unless the West, led by the United States, is prepared to use military power to stop Russian aggression, and that is not in the cards for very good reasons, Ukraine will again be swallowed up in the Russian orbit. Let us then hope that this sad result does not trigger a mindless political exchange between Republicans and Democrats during our November elections this year. | positive |

Since the dawn of history, mankind has been plagued by an unnecessary burden whilst grocery shopping at their neighborhood supermarket: telling the cashier whether they prefer a paper or plastic bag.
Precious moments are squandered. Moments better spent reading the collected works of Spinoza, curing cancer, building shelters for the homeless, or leveling Night Elf druids in World of Warcraft.
IBM may have discovered a solution to this most grievous of conditions with a US patent approved only yesterday. Let bells ring and the annals of history show that August 5, 2008 was a great day indeed.
Patent 7,407,089 (available here) is a method and system for identifying a customer and displaying whether they like paper or plastic bags without the need for uncomfortable questioning.
From the patent's description:
"However, at conventional retail locations, the customer is likely to be asked for their packaging preference each time the customer passes through a cashier station, resulting in unnecessary inconvenience for both the customer and the cashier.
What is needed is a more flexible system and method for determining packaging preference that overcomes some of these limitations. "
Welcome to the stage of history
Shhh! No more words, only knowledge
According to our admittedly rough calculations, implementation of the system could have a major impact on the grocery business.
Consider: If a customer is standing 3 feet away from the cashier, it would take approximately 0.002665 for the words "paper or plastic?" to reach him at the speed of sound. Factor in a generous one second pause to process the question, it would take roughly 1.0053317 seconds for the full round trip conversation.
But using IBM's technology and assuming the cashier is standing about 1 foot away from her register, it would take a mere 0.000000001016703 seconds for the information to reach her at the speed of light. (Dear pedantic readers: yes, this model takes place in a vacuum. And you know what? I'm not even sorry.)
The point is that about 1.00533169999 seconds are saved per transaction. This could be further improved if IBM were to develop a speedier way for the cashier to communicate the information to the bagger. We're thinking some sort of neural link between all grocery store employees.
Oh, and maybe a death ray for all those charity solicitors standing outside the store. Might as well reach for the stars here. ® | positive |
Catching Pokemon in Pokemon GO is simple: keep throwing Poke Balls until you catch the Pokemon.
Each time you hit the Pokemon with a ball, there is a probability it will be caught, which depends on the bonuses used. If the Pokemon is not caught, there is a chance it will run away.
The probability of catching a Pokemon depends on:
You can check out our Catch Mechanics Week article series for more detailed analysis.
The GamePress team analysed a large dataset to figure out exactly how each factor affects catch probability and interacts with each other. We found the general formula for catch probability, among other things. This page summarizes our findings.

The man who wandered the streets was not always without apparent purpose. His parents emigrated from Ayrshire, Scotland, and moved to Melbourne shortly after the 1956 Olympics when he was three. He adapted quickly and soon excelled at school, winning academic awards and becoming school captain. He was always determined, and it was during these years he settled on his future career path. ''He always wanted to be a policeman,'' his mother, May, would later say. ''And he did very well at it.'' This was not a mother blinded by pride for her only child. Kenneth McNeil graduated dux of his course when he walked out of the academy on January 28, 1974. The commandant of the day reported he was a ''quiet but extremely competent member''. Other assessments included, ''Will prove an asset to the service and could go far'', ''Should develop into a highly efficient member'', ''Brainy'' and ''Should show out in the future''. Yet less than four months later his career was finished after he received severe injuries on duty that would leave him disabled for life.
Back then the first stop for a young police officer was the Russell Street Reserve, where the inexperienced were given their first taste of street policing. On Wednesday, May 22, he was moved to the Traffic and Patrol Division for a stint on point duty. On his second day he was sent to control the evening peak rush at the intersection of Swanston and Little Collins streets under the supervision of an experienced sergeant. It was cold and rainy so McNeil wore his cumbersome police issue waterproof cape. Nearby at the Town Hall a crowd had gathered to farewell Governor Sir Rohan and Lady Delacombe, who were retiring after 11 years in office. Just on 4.30pm two trams passed in opposite directions and McNeil turned himself side on - exactly as he had been trained. It was a move made hundreds of times a day by police on point duty throughout Melbourne. But McNeil's whole life would turn on a piece of fabric. His police cape apparently caught on one of the trams and he hit the running board before lurching into the second tram. Neither driver was aware of the accident as they trundled away. He was left with severe head injuries and a fractured left wrist. Following emergency surgery, doctors at Prince Henry's Hospital knew they could save him but he would never be the same. It was four days after his 20th birthday.
His mother said hours after the accident, ''He has always been a very clever boy. He was the dux of his squad when he graduated in January, but he has always shunned publicity.'' A few weeks earlier a policeman directing traffic at the Camberwell Junction was nearly involved in a similar incident. Rowland Legg turned sideways as two trams passed when his cape blew up and hooked on the side of a metal advertising sign. ''Fortunately it was near the running board and I was able to jump on and hang on with one hand while I unhooked the cape with the other.'' He travelled more than 100 metres up Burke Road before he could free himself, then ran back to the junction, which had become hopelessly clogged with traffic. He remembers that a short time later trams were banned from passing traffic police while moving in opposite directions, ''because of an accident involving a member in the city''.
Legg went on to become one of Australia's best known and respected homicide detectives while McNeil was robbed of the chance to fulfil the potential that had been identified during his training days. A year after the accident a senior policeman visited McNeil at the Caulfield Convalescent Hospital. It was his 21st birthday. ''He can now speak in a stunted manner and is able to walk with the aid of supports,'' the inspector reported. ''It appears that he will never return to active duty.'' On January 6, 1976, he was boarded out as medically unfit due to the acquired brain injury he sustained on duty. Because he had been in the police force for such a short time he hadn't developed a network of mates to check on his welfare and the truth is he fell through the cracks.
Eventually he returned to the family home in Claremont Avenue, Malvern, where he was supported by his stoic parents. But with no extended family and following the death of his parents he was left to fend for himself - a task that in many ways was beyond him. In his short time in the police force his passion for the uniform and care in his appearance led superiors to note on his file, ''always well turned out''. But in those last dark years he became a bedraggled local identity often seen wandering the streets. In February, 2002, police conducting a welfare check found McNeil's body in his family home. He was 47 years old. There were only 18 mourners at the funeral, made up largely of friends of the celebrant and two serving police, the lone police piper one of the few reminders of his past and what his life should have been. It was left to O'Connor to deliver the eulogy.
''I have no doubt that Kenneth McNeil died as a result of injuries suffered on May 23, 1974, and as such I believe he deserves to be remembered as a young man who died whilst serving the community of Victoria. In 1974 he was a young, fresh-faced constable who had the world at his feet. He may have had aspirations of being chief commissioner or the harder job as a policeman at a one-man police station. He was never able to achieve those dreams.'' The former policeman who died alone was doomed to be forgotten until a small article in the Police Journal touched a detective stationed at Caulfield. Marilyn Ross carried the article for years and eventually had it laminated. She wondered if something could be done in his name and believed his story should be taught to all young police in training to reinforce two important career points. First, that even what appears to be routine can be dangerous and second, don't be too quick to judge the needy. Eventually she contacted O'Connor, whose eulogy appeared in the Police Journal story. Over a cup of coffee they decided to push for McNeil to finally receive official police recognition. Ross then made a detailed submission to the honours and awards unit, persuasively arguing that McNeil's sacrifice while on duty should be officially acknowledged.
On May 23 this year, 27 years to the day after he received his life-altering injuries, the unit manager wrote to Ross to inform her the nomination had been successful. Last month at the Police Academy, where he graduated first of his class, Kenneth McNeil was posthumously awarded the Police Star - a medal for those killed or seriously wounded on duty. It has been donated to the Police Museum. O'Connor graduated a year before McNeil and while he never met him says he learnt a valuable lesson from the man he saw wander by his parents' home. ''We shouldn't judge people on the way they look. There is always a story on how they ended there. It was a good lesson for me and one all police members should remember.'' | positive |

Ernste Lage bei den niederländischen Nachbarn: Ein bewaffneter Mann verschaffte sich am Donnerstagabend Zutritt zum NOS-Sendezentrum und verlangte Sendezeit in den Hauptnachrichten. Im Studio des "Journaal" wurde der Mann von der Polizei überwältigt.
29.01.2015 - 21:45 Uhr von Marcel Pohlig 29.01.2015 - 21:45 Uhr
Große Aufregung am Abend bei den niederländischen Nachbarn. Ein bewaffneter Mann hat am Abend einen Wachmann der öffentlich-rechtlichen Anstalt NOS bedroht und sich Zugang zum Sendezentrum in Hilversum bei Amsterdam und der Redaktion der Nachrichten verschafft. In einem Brief forderte er zehn Minuten Sendezeit im Rahmen der Hauptnachrichten "Journaal", der wichtigsten Nachrichtensendung des Landes. Das Gebäude wurde daraufhin evakuiert und von der Polizei durchsucht. Über dem Media Park in Hilversum kreisten außerdem Hubschrauber der Polizei.
Das niederländische Fernsehen verzichtete daraufhin auf die Ausstrahlung der Nachrichten "Journaal" auf NPO1 und bat auf dem Fernsehbildschirm lediglich um Geduld, auch auf NPO2 kam es zu kurzfristigen Veränderungen im Ablauf. Währenddessen wurde der bewaffnete Mann offenbar tatsächlich ins Studio der Sendung geführt, wie ein Video auf den Seiten von NOS zeigt. Dort bewegte sich der ordentlich gekleidete Mann mit Pistole in der Hand durch das Studio und wird schließlich von der Polizei, die das Studio stürmt, überwältigt. Zu einem Schusswechsel kam es nicht.

On-Air wolle er über Sachen reden, die von sehr großer weltweiter Bedeutung seien. Medienberichten zufolge soll der Täter in seinem Schreiben die Beschäftigten vor allem zur Ruhe aufgerufen und auch darauf verwiesen haben, dass er nicht alleine sei. Neben ihm gebe es fünf weitere Verbündete sowie Hacker, die zu Cyber-Angriffen bereit seien. Der Bewaffnete warnte, dass im ganzen Land außerdem radioaktive Sprengstoffe verteilt seien. Das Sendezentrum soll entsprechend noch immer gesperrt sein. Die genauen Beweggründe für die Tat sind zur Stunde noch völlig unklar.
Update, 23:20 Uhr: Das NOS-Gebäude in Hilversum wurde gegen 22:15 Uhr wieder von der Polizei freigegeben, nachdem nach intensiver Suche nichts Verdächtiges gefunden werden konnte. Alle Redakteure und Techniker konnten damit wieder die Arbeit aufnehmen. Zwischenzeitlich wurde der Sendebetrieb aufgrund des Vorfalls und der daraus resultierenden Evakuierung des Hilversumer Sendezentrums aus einem Ersatzstudio in Den Haag wieder aufgenommen.

Made & designed as one of Sigma’s Top-Line Prime Lens, this Wide-angle lens is “created” to the likes of the ultra successful Sigma 35mm F1.4 ART as well as the 50mm F1.4 ART. According to Sigma, the new 24mm F1.4 ART was designed to give photographers of what Sigma calls the “edge to edge performance”. Most photographers would know that for wide angle focal range like 24mm (on full frame), the corners are somewhat distorted which is a normal phenomenon that occurs in most wide angle lenses. Sigma aims to counter this and came up with a design that had the aspherical elements finding its way to the back of the lens barrel/group which allows users to shoot high quality images even when the aperture is opened wide. Topping off that, Sigma incoporated premium FLD & SLD glass elements which dramatically reduces chromatic aberrations (CA) & corner distortions to a negligible level. Made as an all-purpose prime lens for wide angle applications, Sigma informed us that this lens was designed for “wedding photography, landscape photography, videography, astrophotography, indoor photography and event photography.” Photo: The New 2015 Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) From our past reviews with the 35mm (ART) & 50mm (ART) (Part 1 & Part 2), we expected a lot more with the New 24mm (ART) as the previous 2 releases are already award-winning lenses now. On first look, the lens is slightly shorter than both 35mm & 50mm at 85mm x 90.2mm, and it’s pretty light at 665g. Featuring the same level of build, the lens barrels are made using the TSC and the lens size & design vividly reminded me of the Sony-Zeiss SAL CZ-24mm F1.4 SSM. A 9-blader which stops down to F16, the new 24mm focuses from a mere 25cm rendering a good magnification ratio of 1:5.3. It accepts 77mm filters at the front and it runs on the company’s proven and improved hypersonic motor (HSM) that gives you near silent focusing and hyper-fast & accurate focusing. We invited 3 Guest Reviewers this Round to put the new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (Art) through its paces and hear what they think of this lens after using them. We have Melvin Ho, a Wedding & Event Photographer with a Full Frame Canon EOS 5D MarkIII, Cindy, a serious Enthusiast with an APS-C Canon EOS 60D and lastly, an Award-winning photographer Chester Chen testing out the 24mm (ART) with his Infrared-converted (full Spectrum) Canon EOS 5D MarkII for IR compatibility. What Melvin Ho have to say – Photo: Melvin Ho with the New Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM(ART) mounted on his Canon 5D MarkIII. “The new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) is rock-solid. Lens built and overall design is very good and it does seems like this is a lens that can withstand the elements. This has live up to the mass expectations of being an “ART” lens. On shooting, the lens is easy to handle and switches well-placed and it is not heavy to carry or use. In terms of image quality, I would say that the distortion control is well sorted out and in fact if you are not paying attention, you might not even notice any distortion at all. This is a great lens for wedding table shots or ambience documentations or even portraits of wedding guests against a background or a decorated scene. Lastly, it was revealed to us that this lens costs only a fraction of Canon’s EF 24mm F1.4L USM.” – Melvin Ho. Shots by Melvin using the new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) Melvin Ho is 37 years young, 6 years in wedding photography. Photo: Melvin keeps smiling to himself while using the new Sigma 24mm (ART). We wonder what he saw that made him smile. What Cindy have to say – Photo: Cindy with the New Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM(ART) mounted on her Canon 60D. “The New Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) is light and compact making itself more user-friendly to users. I also like the fact the lens looks very professional although its a 3rd party lens. On the lens, it is a very versatile lens and it has a wide variety of possible uses – even when it is used on an APS-C sensor. I would like to highlight that the photos produced by this lens is sharp even when I was shooting with it wide-open (aperture). I had lots of fun using this lens and I would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to have a fast wide-angle primes lens (for full frame) or a street lens (for APS-C) – the possibilities are endless.” – Cindy S. Shots by Cindy S. using the new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) Cindy S, an ageless beautiful young lady who loves macro photography and had been doing photography for about 3 years.

Click Here to Advertise =============================== ============================== What Chester Chen have to say – Photo: Chester Chen with the New Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM(ART) mounted on his Infrared-Converted Canon 5D MarkII. “I had the opportunity to fire a few shots with the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) lens on my Canon EOS 5DMk2 modified full spectrum infrared camera to test for IR compatibility. As this was a co-review with other guest reviewers, it was a time-limited window to test the lens.” “For comparison I shot an equivalent focal length using EF 17-40 f/4 lens at the same aperture of f/5.6., please see the photo examples below.” [ SIGMA24_56.JPG ] [ CAN24_56.JPG ] “The two raw files were converted to B&W in Photoshop. No additional sharpening or clarity was added. Exposure was tweaked to achieve a desirable image for this article. You’ll notice that the prime lens at 24mm does offer the same viewing angle of the Wide Angle Canon zoom. However, the 17-40 tends to make the buildings look a lot more distant and smaller. Take a look at the 100 percent crops to get an idea of sharpness at f/5.6. Note I chose to zoom this area of the image because it had similar lighting although not exact. [ SIGMA24_56_100.JPG ] [ CAN24_56_100.JPG ] “I don’t have access to the Canon 24mm f/1.4 Mk2 for comparison. I do know that the Canon 24mm works well shooting infrared and the Sigma does appear to work well with no hotspotting. If you like primes and the sharpness associated with primes the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Series lens is worth a look as it is very friendly to your wallet.” – Chester Chen. Chester Chen, a mysterious photographer who had won multiple photography awards and loves spending time with his children. (When he is not holding a camera of course.) Photo: Chester with the New Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) under the extreme heat from the mid-day sun. Editor’s Note: From what we gathered from our 3 guest reviewers, the new 2015 Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART) is well poised to challenge & take on the wide-angle prime lens market. Well built, good image quality and a fraction of the asking price of other equivalents, the 2015 Sigma 24mm (ART) stands out among the rest easily. If you are into primes or a new-found Fan of Sigma’s ART lenses, this lens is a must-get. Sigma had proven to the world that they had beefed up their manufacturing consistency after the company went under the “Sigma Global Vision“, the company had sold lenses like hot cakes while churning out award-winning lenses after lenses. This is the brand to watch. – Thanks Melvin, Cindy & Chester for taking time out and went under the hot sun for the new Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM (ART). – Thanks to Trisha Lim for all the Behind-the-Scenes photos for this Article. – Special Thanks to Sigma Marketing (Singapore) for letting us have the lens before anyone else did in Singapore.

The Australian branch of international pizza chain Domino’s confirmed this week that it will add vegan cheese to its menus next year. Earlier this month, the pizza company took to Facebook to ask its 1 million followers if they want vegan cheese. “Wow, we are overwhelmed by the response we’ve received to vegan cheese,” Domino’s Australia stated in a follow-up post. “Thank you to everyone who has registered interest so far. We’ve heard you loud and clear. What an exciting 2018 we have in store—watch this space!” The pizza chain is also posting positive responses on Facebook to customers interested in other vegan options such as milkshakes. “Our recent reach-out to Facebook fans has been helpful to gauge just how many pizza lovers are keen to see a vegan cheese option on our menu. We are truly overwhelmed by the response we’ve received and have reported back to our product development team for now.” Competing brand Pizza Hut is also currently testing demand for vegan cheese at five of its United Kingdom locations.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- When Sen. Lindsey Graham received a major endorsement last week from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the setting was, from a campaign-optics perspective, nearly perfect.
Graham, joined by representatives from the national and regional arms of the organization, stood in a vast warehouse of a local manufacturer, where he was flanked by supporters holding signs. But as Graham began to speak, a driving rain pounded the warehouse roof, drowning out all other noise. The Republican senator had no microphone, and so he did his best to yell out his remarks.
Had Graham been facing a competitive challenge to his re-election this year, the inclement weather might have ruined an important campaign event. But Graham isn't, and the soggy audio didn't matter.
Instead, Graham, counter to the early prognostications of many, has quelled any potential threats from Tea Party insurgents and, two months ahead of the Republican primary, is cruising to a third term in the Senate -- still gleefully tackling those controversial topics that might have made him vulnerable in the first place.
Graham is in this position by no accident. Wary of other incumbents who have not prepared for competitive re-election campaigns and lost, Graham and his campaign team have spent the intervening years raising money and shoring up support among South Carolina's political class -- all but guaranteeing Graham's path to victory.
Graham's longtime campaign manager, Scott Farmer, recalled a motto beloved by former South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond to describe Graham's approach: “Senator Thurmond had a saying: You always run like you're behind and take nothing for granted.' Sen. Graham has always taken that advice to heart and run very aggressive campaigns.”
Now, while his Republican opponents scramble to scrape together campaign donations and support, Graham has been hosting relaxed barbecues for supporters across the state, free of charge.
“You serve people free barbecue, and they will come,” Graham said, grinning, at a recent event in Simpsonville, S.C., where aides had just added another table to squeeze in the last few of a 130-person crowd.
Graham’s comfortable lead in this election also has afforded him the opportunity to speak out early and often, even at home in South Carolina, about his stances that might be controversial among the party’s conservative base.
“If [Republicans] get the Senate, we can't repeal Obamacare, because the president would veto any bill to repeal it,” Graham said matter-of-factly in Simpsonville. “But you know what we can do? We can chip away at it.”
A full repeal of Obamacare is still very much in vogue for many conservative Republicans, but Graham was forthright about the facets of the health care law he supports -- allowing children to remain on their parents' plan until age 26, for example, and providing insurance for people with pre-existing conditions.
Republicans, Graham continued, cannot merely oppose the health care law, but need to propose alternatives to it.
“Remember the Contract With America?” Graham said, referring to the mission statement released in 1994 by the GOP. “Aren't you wishing that your party would put down on paper what we're for, and not just what we're against?”
Regarding other potential political third rails, Graham was just as frank.
“Solving problems is not a sin,” Graham told the Washington Examiner.
“Somebody has to deal with immigration. Somebody has to deal with entitlements,” Graham added. “I want to be one of those somebodies.”
At the same time, some of Graham's pet issues are still bread-and-butter for the conservative base; for example, he hasn't let up on asking questions about the September 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans.
“Let me tell you, [former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton] can be beat, and one of the reasons she can be beat is because it was her job to take care of these people,” Graham said.
Other Republican senators facing re-election this year have tailored their primary messages much more narrowly to avoid any hint of controversy, even in the face of negligible primary threats.
If Graham were in trouble, he might have done the same. But his campaign has raised more than $11.6 million since he was last re-elected in 2008, finishing the most recent quarter with $6.85 million on hand, and he has consistently polled leagues ahead of his closest Republican challengers.
The current-day dynamic has echoes of 2002, when Thurmond retired and his Senate seat came open. Many people expected a crowded field of Republicans jockeying to take his place -- but, by that time, Graham, then a member of Congress, had secured support from the entire roster of the state's top GOP finance gurus. No other Republican could hope to organize a credible challenge, and Graham ran unopposed for his party's nomination.
This year, some Palmetto State conservative activists were determined to find a serious challenger to Graham, and made no secret of their desire to recruit some Republican members of the state's congressional delegation, including Reps. Trey Gowdy and Mick Mulvaney. Both declined.
“The 30 percent of the Republicans who don’t like him really don’t like him, but generally speaking Lindsey is very highly regarded back home,” Mulvaney told Politico last year.
Without a strong Republican challenger to Graham, conservative outside groups stayed away, even as they have loudly supported Tea Party candidates taking on Sen. Thad Cochran in Mississippi, Pat Roberts in Kansas, or Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.
Some might say Graham dodged a political bullet. But, as he reflected on his political good fortune last week in Simpsonville, he was happily unsurprised by the arc the race has traced.
“This is a business, and I have a lot of support here in South Carolina,” Graham told the Examiner. “I’m not the path of least resistance if you want to get ahead.” | positive |

Sex abuse charges have been filed in Centre County against Penn State coaching legend and Second Mile charity founder Jerry Sandusky.
The charges follow a more-than two year grand jury investigation that began when a Clinton County teen alleged inappropriate contact against the 67-year-old former coach.
During the investigation, older allegations from 1998 surfaced as well. In the older case, Penn State police investigated inappropriate touching in a shower.
The charging paperwork has not yet made it to the District Magistrate Judge's office in Centre County. However, felony charges of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of someone under 16, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault of someone under 16, indecent assault of someone under 13, and corruption of minors charges have been filed in the state court docket system.
The offense dates include 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2005. There are 40 counts included in the paperwork filed against him.
The Patriot-News first broke the story about the investigation in March, shortly after Penn State coach Joe Paterno testified before the the grand jury along with Penn State's interim senior vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley.
At one time, Sandusky was considered Paterno’s likely successor. During his 32 years on the sidelines, the College Township, Centre County resident was credited with turning Penn State into Linebacker U and producing such pro football greats as Jack Ham and LaVar Arrington.
Sandusky retired from Penn State shortly after the Alamo Bowl in December 1999, and began devoting all of his time to running The Second Mile, a children’s charity he founded in 1977 that reaches 200,000 kids in this state each year through programs and camps.
Last fall, he retired from day-to-day involvement, saying he wanted to spend more time with family and handle personal matters.
Officials at the non-profit have repeatedly said The Second Mile will continue in its work to help children, despite the allegations made against Sandusky.

With Ottawa Fury FC officially eliminated from playoff contention, don’t expect head coach Marc Dos Santos to turn his club’s remaining three games into a season-ending training camp.
Fury is still fighting to finish ahead of FC Edmonton — Ottawa’s opponent Saturday afternoon at TD Place — and Dos Santos isn’t going to start experimenting or giving extra minutes to lesser-used players just out of the kindness of his heart.
Aside from bringing a couple new players to training as tryouts for next season, Dos Santos sees no need to audition players he is already familiar with.
"It’s not that approach," he said. "If I’m telling you ‘yeah, we want to evaluate guys’, I’m lying to you.
"I think we have our answers already."
After dropping a 2-1 decision to the New York Cosmos on the road last weekend thanks to another goal conceded at the death, Dos Santos expects his squad to compete the way it did while still in the playoff hunt and, as has become his mantra, to treat the remaining three games as championship finals.
"There’s no doubt that (beating Edmonton) is very important," Dos Santos said. "It’s also difficult because we have three tough games."
Whichever of the two Canadian NASL clubs finishes higher on the league table gets to host the second leg of the Canadian Championship next season.
As for the new trialists in camp this week, both players that Ottawa could try to sign in the off-season. Left back Marcos Ramos is the bigger name of the two as he is armed with 100-plus games in France’s League 1. Fury has also brought in forward Laurent Lanteri, who most recently played for Italian third-division club Paganese while on loan from Serie B club Siena.
SIDELINES

This church is an extravagant example of using a religious edifice to celebrate and commemorate war victories. The Greeks and Romans did the same thing. Indeed, even back in Biblical days, the Assyrians, Babylonians and Egyptians used religious buildings to sanctify their military victories. Only the Jews never erected any victory statues in their Jerusalem temple. Indeed, King David of Israel, unlike King Fredrick of Prussia, was told that he should definitely not erect any temple at all; due to all the blood on his hands. The Jerusalem Temple was built by King Solomon who was best known for his wealth, wisdom, and his love of woman (see Song of Songs of Solomon). The Jerusalem Temple was not a tribute to military victory. It was a tribute to the faithful, long suffering and enduring love between the Jewish People and their God. The major pan-Hellenic temples in 6th century BCE Greece, Olympia and Delphi, were frequently gifted with religious art to celebrate military victories. That never happened in Jerusalem. In Babylonia and Egypt the gods were kept in enclosed rooms within the temple; and only taken out on parade during holy day celebrations a few times a year. In the Jerusalem Temple the inner sanctum (the debhir) was empty of any Divine image. Only the ark with the ten declarations inside, stood in the center, with a ten cubits high Cherub of olive-wood plated with gold, on each side (1 Kings 6:23-28 and 8:6-7). In the days of the Second Temple, in the absence of the ark and the ten declarations within it, only the two Cherubim which according to 2 Chronicles 3:14 were woven in the veil of the Holy of Holies, were there. The two Cherubim were woven in the vail embracing each other like lovers; and once a year during the Haj Sukkot pilgrimage festival, the curtains to the innermost sanctuary (the debhir) were opened and the Cherubim could be seen as a sign of the faithful, loving relationship between God and Israel. Advertisement As Rabbi Kattina said: Whenever Israel came up to (Jerusalem) for the Festival (Sukkot), the curtain would be removed for them and the Cherubim were shown to them, whose bodies were intertwined with one another; “and they would be thus addressed: Look! You are beloved before God as the love between man and woman. (Yoma 54a) On Tisha B’Av, when we mourn the destruction of Jerusalem and its Holy Temple, let us remember that the love between God and Israel endures today, as it did almost 2,000 years ago. Thus, even if we do not win the battle, we never have lost the war to survive. About the Author Rabbi Allen S.

This white paper is endorsed by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). “The numerous blockchain networks and DLT platforms will help realize the potential of digital transformation to drive greater economic inclusion. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) together with its partners, as neutral conveners of all trade stakeholders across the world, aims at connecting and coordinating these disparate groups in order to accelerate efforts to digitalize trade” said David Bischof, Deputy Director, Finance for Development, International Chamber of Commerce. “Having a constant need to know all developments and involved parties, this report is an indispensable tool for the entire ecosystem to keep track and align actions.” Bischof added. Reality Check We’re living through exciting times. While international trade in goods has seen little innovation since the invention of the container in the 50s, the tedious, labour- and paper-intensive processes required to ship around the world could well become a story of the past thanks to the advent of new technologies, particularly distributed ledger technology (DLT) – colloquially termed “blockchain”. Rarely has a technology spurred so much hype and hope amongst the trade and trade finance community. Not without reason: The possibilities that blockchain unlocks to track transactions and exchange assets in real-time, in a trusted and highly secure environment using peer-to-peer validation and networks makes it an appealing tool to remove many of the inefficiencies that hinder one of the oldest forms of traditional finance today. Over the past few years a myriad of projects have been launched to enhance processes related to trade finance, to digitalize trade documentation, and to reduce inefficiencies in transportation and logistics. Some take the form of multi-player consortia and networks, others are building a fabric layer to interconnect these different projects, and others are built to digitize particular aspects of the trade and supply chain. These international trade actors are changing fast, but how many of these initiatives have moved beyond a proof-of-concept? What are the challenges that these new actors now face as we go past the trough of disillusionment and exploratory phase of DLT in trade? Building on the WTO publication “Can Blockchain Revolutionize International Trade?” authored by Emmanuelle Ganne and TFG’s white paper “Blockchain and Trade Finance”, this study provides an overview of the main projects underway in trade, with a focus on trade finance, shipping, and the digitalization of trade documents, and assesses their stages of maturity. Based on a survey of more than 200 actors in the field, it analyses the key challenges that companies involved in blockchain projects are facing and discusses actions that may need to be taken to allow the technology to truly transform international trade. After years of hype around blockchain, the time has come for a reality check.

Imagine you are experiencing chest pain and go to an emergency department. You are seen by the ER doctor and then a cardiologist. The cardiologist decides you need further treatment. If you have private insurance and can pay a few hundred dollars, she can do the necessary procedure in two weeks. Otherwise, you will wait 12 weeks in the public system at no extra cost.
How are you supposed to know how urgently you should be seen? Isn’t this why you are seeing a doctor in the first place?
As a doctor with experience in both Canada and Australia, I have watched patients make these kinds of impossible choices about their health and that of their loved ones.
Australians can purchase private health insurance, which gives them access to shorter wait times. This system exists in parallel to a universal public system based on need. Doctors work in both systems, thereby allowing quicker appointments to those who can pay.
In B.C., a court challenge has reignited debate about Canadian single-payer health care. Dr. Brian Day, a Vancouver orthopedic surgeon and one of the owners of the Cambie Surgical Centre, says that single-payer health care violates our basic rights. His bid, if successful, would allow physicians to charge fees for medically necessary services covered under provincial plans and remove the ban on private insurance coverage for these services.
Those supporting Day maintain that people with the money to pay for better access should be able to, and that this will free up resources for everyone. He claims that the Australian style of health care is a model for Canada to look to.
A closer look reveals significant public subsidies for private care in Australia. Introducing such a system in Canada will help those at the top and hurt those at the bottom, undermining the principle of fairness that is the foundation of our health-care system.
In an effort to reduce wait times, the Australian government offered a tax rebate to pay for private insurance premiums. To further incentivize private coverage, they levied an additional tax for Australians above a certain income threshold who did not purchase extra insurance. The goal was to increase private insurance and shift patients out of the public system. Thus, the private insurance industry received a $5.8-billion subsidy in the form of consumer rebates in 2014-15. Insurance companies saw increased enrolments and profits. And rather than helping those who needed it most, this government subsidy went to Australians who could already afford private coverage — even without government assistance.
If Canada follows the Australian model, not only would high-income Canadians receive better health care than everyone else, the government would pay for it.
It turns out private-pay patients didn’t take pressure off the public system. As overall use of health-care services went up, so did the need for public resources. Most worrisome is that increased private access to care didn’t really have the desired effect on wait times. Wait times did go down for non-urgent cases, but went up for urgent cases. That means people waiting for life-saving treatments for cancer or a heart attack might have been waiting longer and getting sicker.
The reasons for this outcome point to the profit motive of the private-insurance industry. Private hospitals in Australia generally don’t have either emergency departments or facilities for many complex procedures or intensive care units. These services tend to be expensive and patients that need them are sick — they can’t (and don’t) wait for care. Private hospitals perform less-acute, financially lucrative services that skim profits from the public health-care system. Private insurers are off the hook for expensive treatments, even if they are the result of a complication from a privately performed procedure.
In 2015, the Australian government launched a public consultation with the intent to overhaul private health care.
It isn’t working in Australia, and there is no any reason to believe it would work in Canada. Moreover, what Day is proposing is a system that doesn’t actually exist in Australia or the other models that he claims as examples for Canada to emulate.
Instead, we should take this opportunity to reaffirm the values of equity and fairness in Canadian Medicare and to invest in its future.

I got a call from my squadron’s operations office asking if I would mind terribly going to Fort Worth, Texas, for an airshow over the weekend. Our patrol wing gets a few requests a year for these events. This would be my first. The guys told me it was as good a deal as you can get: a weekend out of town with your crew showing off the Lockheed P-3C Orion and preaching the virtues of naval aviation. Back at the hotel, you could talk flying with pilots of the other display aircraft and enjoy the open bar.
We flew from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington state to Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas, arriving mid-day, long before most of the other airplanes slated for static display had shown up. A ground crew from Naval Air Station Dallas piled out of a pickup truck and marshalled us to our parking spot on the mostly empty ramp. We put our airplane to bed and set out to enjoy the warm Texas evening. The next morning, we got up early to prepare for our airshow duties: ushering folks up the narrow, steeply pitched boarding ladder into the fuselage, answering questions, and pointing out various cool features of our submarine-hunting aircraft.
As a naval air crewman, I was passionate about my job, my crew, the airplane, and the mission we performed. We honed our skills preparing for combat with an unseen foe, and we rated ourselves among the best sub-hunters on the planet. In the Orion’s rugged planform, I saw efficiency, brute power, elegance, and beauty. I knew the function of every bulge and blister, protrusion and antenna, from the blunt nose housing a powerful inverse synthetic aperture radar to the muscular clipped wings bristling with weapons pylons.
The trouble was, I didn’t get the chance to explain any of this, since citizens typically walked past me and my warplane with a polite nod. Often they would point to the magnetic anomaly detector boom, a fairly sophisticated piece of submarine-tracking hardware, and call it a refueling boom. In their eyes, there was nothing too sexy about a 1950s propeller airplane covered with greasy smudges and dirty streaks caused by leaking fluids of indeterminate nature, particularly one buried among far more attractive and shinier Air Force jets. Our mighty hunter sported bare metal where paint had been worn off by flying 200 knots through sea spray at 200 feet. Its skin was wrinkled from years of hard turns tracking submarines and narco-traffickers, crewed by a motley collection of sailors in grimy flightsuits and scuffed boots. We were but warriors for the working day.
Passersby who actually climbed aboard found themselves less than impressed. The inside of the airplane looked much like the outside. All the gee-whiz stuff was turned off, and we could not discuss capabilities anyway. I discovered that unless this is your chosen profession, there is nothing that exciting about a bunch of guys bumping along in a low-and-slow airplane looking at lines on a scope. I would be bored to distraction too, especially because in the next airplane over, the Air Force guys were giving away hats, T-shirts, and popcorn.
We worked in shifts. The Texas sun warmed the fuselage, and even with every hatch open, it was hot and close for those taking their turn inside. In those rare instances when we had a lot of visitors (like when the Air Force guys ran out of T-shirts and hats), it could get really stuffy. But air crews had plenty of time to commiserate and mingle with the airshow folk. The Air Force guys were pretty relaxed. I got the sense the Navy was making me work really hard for my flight pay.
“Zapping”—sneaking your squadron sticker everywhere—is a long-standing Navy tactic. Doug, our flight engineer on this trip, was a ruthless and fearless zapper. Portable johns and airshow vehicles were just the warm-up. He managed to zap a Canadair CT-114 Tutor belonging to the Snowbirds. I saw our sticker on the side of a C-130, on the boarding ladder of an E-3 AWACS, and on the nose gear of a B-1 bomber with a sentry stationed in front of it.
During a break, I started chatting with the crew chief of a C-17, the Air Force’s newest heavy lifter. He gave me a tour of his airplane, which actually smelled like a new car. The crew rest area was clean and comfortable; the bunks had crisp sheets and wool blankets. Our P-3 rest arrangements consisted of two bunks that flipped down, or wherever you could stretch out on the floor between the electronic racks and the drafty door. I asked if I could try out a bunk, then slipped into it. There it was, inches from my face—our squadron sticker.
My friend Lance came to the show. I regaled him with tales of sono-buoys, rockeye cluster bombs, torpedoes, and the art of tracking an elusive prey that lurked in the dark ocean, and he arched his eyebrows and nodded sagely. He asked when I was leaving town. “We’re flying out in a few hours,” I said. His eyes widened. Turning back toward our P-3, he exclaimed, “You mean you flew here on that?” He had figured my Orion to be a museum piece. I indignantly affirmed that yes indeed, we had flown here in it, we were flying back home in it, and that we routinely flew across the Pacific Ocean in it. When he got in his car, he was still shaking his head.
It was late afternoon when we started preflighting, taking covers off and landing gear pins out. The crowd had left. The Air Force guys were staying another night, but it was Sunday and we were reservists, so we had to get the airplane home and return to our regular jobs the next morning. Because we had arrived early on Friday, we were parked deep in the stack, surrounded on three sides by larger Air Force aircraft. There was an open taxi lane behind us, but a giant KC-10 tanker was parked behind our right wing. Our wingtip would have to pass underneath its wing to get us out. Not a problem really, but engine number four, which is mounted on the wingtip, has a 13-foot propeller arc. An E-3 AWACS was parked in front of us, and the Air Force guys who had up until now paid little attention to us began taking a keen interest in our activities—notably that we looked like we were going flying. | positive |

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama shared some words of wisdom on Saturday, saying there a few things in life harder to find and more important to keep than love.
"Well, love and a birth certificate," Obama quipped at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, poking fun at those who question his place of birth. "I happen to know that my approval ratings are still very high in the country of my birth." Obama was born in Hawaii, but birthers question whether he was born overseas.
Obama also jabbed Jay Leno, the comedian headlining the dinner. Obama dinged Leno as "the only person whose ratings fell more than mine."
He said he was glad he spoke before the "The Tonight Show" host, "because we have all seen what happens when somebody takes the time slot after Leno." Comic Conan O'Brien left NBC after his stint hosting "The Tonight Show" following Leno didn't work out.
He took aim at his own administration too, cracking jokes about Vice President Joe Biden and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
Republicans were also the victims of many Obama punch lines. The president noted Sen. John McCain's claim this year that he was not identified as a maverick. "We know what happens in Arizona when you don't have an ID. ... Adios amigos," Obama quipped, referring to a new law in Arizona that targets illegal immigration.
He wasn't hesitant to mention the attention-hungry couple who crashed his state dinner last fall. "Odds are that the Salahis are here. There haven't been people that were more unwelcome at a party since Charlie Crist," he said about the Florida governor who decided to defect from the Republican party.
Although his poll numbers are down, Obama said he hears he's popular on Twitter and Facebook. "Or as Sarah Palin call it, socialized media," he said.
WATCH Obama's speech:
Leno picked up on the Palin joke to take a dig at Obama, saying the president isn't as aloof as some critics say he is. "He loves to socialize – health care, car companies," Leno said, naming a few industries in which the Obama administration has intervened.
Obama also acknowledged the problems facing the Gulf coast after the disastrous BP oil spill. He plans to go to the Gulf Coast Sunday for a firsthand assessment on efforts to contain the massive oil spill from an offshore drilling rig.
Among the 3,000 guests on hand included Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn, comedian Chevy Chase, actor Alec Baldwin, comedian Bill Maher, actress Michelle Pfeiffer, actor Dennis Quaid, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, GOP Chairman Michael Steele, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, White House senior adviser David Axelrod, the Jonas brothers and another teen heartthrob, pop star Justin Bieber.
Hollywood heavyweights Michel Douglas, Steven Spielberg were seen chatting with Emmanuel.
At the dinner, the White House Correspondents' Association introduced students who received college scholarships.
Honored at the dinner were several journalists:
_Ben Feller of The Associated Press and Jake Tapper of ABC News, for winning the Merriman Smith Award for presidential coverage under deadline pressure. Feller won for his coverage of Obama's unexpected late-night visit to Dover Air Force Base to honor fallen soldiers. Tapper won for his story that revealed tax problems of former Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D.
_Mark Knoller, of CBS News, for winning the Aldo Beckman award for sustained excellence in White House coverage. Knoller won for his work covering the White House for more than 35 years and in using multiple platforms to report.
_Suzanne Bohan and Sandy Kleffman, of the Contra Costa (Calif.) Times, for winning the Edgar A. Poe Award for excellence in coverage of news of national or regional significance. They were cited for a four-part series entitled, "Shortened Lives: Where You Live Matters." | positive |
There are more than 5,000 homeless youth on the streets of San Francisco. Almost half are LGBT. More than half struggle with mental health issues. Many come from histories of abuse, addiction and neglect.
Help us be the home they never had.
Go Big or Stay Homeless is the Capital Campaign for Homeless Youth Alliance. We’re a nonprofit that’s been serving homeless runaways in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury since 1992.
In 2014, after 12 years of running a drop-in center on Haight Street, HYA lost its lease. Without an indoor program site, we’ve taken our work outdoors. Our services—therapy, counseling, case management, medical care—are now entirely street-based. We’re still reaching hundreds of homeless kids weekly, but the youth of the Haight deserve better.
They’ve lost enough. They deserve to once again have a safe, secure indoor refuge. They deserve a home.
The goal of our Go Big or Stay Homeless Campaign is to purchase a building in the Haight Ashbury. Our goal is to restore what the homeless kids of the Haight lost when we lost our lease: a welcoming indoor refuge, where they can get a hot meal, a shower, clean clothes, and where they can see a doctor, a therapist, and a case manager, all under one roof. We’ll be a jumping-off point for youth to get off the streets, into recovery, and living fulfilling lives.
The Haight’s homeless youth need a safe place that won’t go away. You can help us provide what they’ve never had: a lifeline they can count on. Please donate to Go Big or Stay Homeless today!
Visit our website (http://www.homelessyouthalliance.org/) to read the full case statement.
*While Homeless Youth Alliance/Tides goal is to purchase a building to be used for a full scale drop-in center, if our goal is not met these funds may be used for general operations to support HYA’s mission of helping homeless youth build healthier lives. Fundraising for this campaign is ongoing - we have no intention of giving up. | positive |

Apparently this new pharmaceutical company has removed the things in it that result in the paralytic effects and this is the second double blind trial on the new drug. It’s not a lot of pay for this trial however my therapist and my primary care are interested to see if it works for me. The only downside is I have to drop and cleanse myself of the Abilify I’m allowed to stay on the Wellbutrin but I have to cut my dose down to about a quarter of what is now. After my first appointment the evaluator from the pharmaceutical company told the lead investigator with the main company that she didn’t want to use me as a subject because of the diabetes and the Atelophobia along with the synesthesia. I was asked to leave the room and the lead investigator, whom I love, apparently talked her into it. So there’s that. What else is going on… I think that loneliness is addicting and it’s weird because of how much I loath it. Like I know that I have an addictive personality, I’m not an addict, but I do have addictive tendencies. I know that because of the synesthesia different sensations parallel and connect with other sensations. So even though being so sad and depressed that you become immobile is not something I actively crave in my conscious mind, I have this weird tendency to associate it with a serotonin spikes or some other addictive quality. So kind of like an addict returning to her or his vice even though it causes them pain you still want it even though you hate it. I hate it. You know how sometimes a good cry can make you feel good afterwards or how disappointed you are when you can’t sneeze it’s kind of like that amplified a hundred times. Sometimes I think we would be more successful as a species if we were void of emotion. Maybe not more successful but more geared towards survival. Maybe not. I’m severely afraid of being a disappointment so much so that the major depressive disorder is intensified to a crippling state. Synesthesia ping-pongs me around from emotion to feeling to synapses of every kind. And the emotional ride give me anxiety so intense my heart tries to escape through my chest via a jack-Hammer style of pounding. All of it makes me so sad it hurts. And that’s the thing or the difference between feeling sad… Or being sad and being depressed or having major depressive disorder it hurts the depression hurts and it’s not something you can explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it. The pain is vague and cant be explained by injury or anatomical physical history. But it is so severe… I can’t articulate it. Also I am afraid that I am lashing out at people who are reaching out to HELP. Because I don’t want them involved I don’t want them to feel the way I feel. I don’t want them to know that I feel this way because it would be disappointing to them, I think. I don’t want anybody to feel pity on me. I don’t want someone to be sad R because I’m sad. I don’t want people to know that I am tormented by my innards, terrorized by psyche, and titillated by my loneliness. I’m broken and a failure. I think my most epic failure or my biggest disappointment in myself is that I don’t have a family. You see a very young Noah and a not so you young Noah desperately wanted so bad to have a wife and a bunch of kids before the age of 25 I also wanted to adopt. Well that didn’t happen and I am glad I am no more of a burden for anyone else besides those whom are already plagued by my being in their life. I am FUBAR. No one deserves to have to deal with me. No one. But I have to continue to fight for contentment! I can not let myself be all consumed and crippled by depression, anxiety, synesthesia or atelophobia. Happiness is not an option for me. But I can continue to fight and stay content I’ll do my best to make others happy. ❤ Thank you so much for taking the time to read my thoughts, even as distracted and attention deficted as they are. I truly do appreciate it and I hope you got something out of it wether it be good or bad. If it is so bad you have a need to let me know feel free to send you angered words to [email protected] As always it is very important to me that this particular blog does not comes across as a editorial of any kind and for it to be more of a stream of consciousness and as such there is zero editing if mistakes are made they are left for your enjoyment, or torture as it were.

European parliament backs the 'Nordic model' of prostitution, which legalises the selling of sex but criminalises buying it
The European parliament has voted in favour of a resolution to criminalise the purchase of sex.
On Wednesday, 343 MEPs backed a report proposed by the London MEP and Labour spokeswoman for women in Europe, Mary Honeyball, which recommends the adoption of the "Nordic model" of prostitution that legalises selling sex but criminalises buying it. Some 139 MEPs voted against;105 abstained.
The yes vote formally establishes the EU's stance on prostitution and puts pressure on member states to re-evaluate their policies on sex work.
"Today's outcome represents a vital signal from MEPs that we cannot continue to tolerate the exploitation of women," Honeyball said. "Rather than blanket legalisation, parliament has backed the more nuanced approach already practised in Sweden as a means of tackling prostitution. This punishes men who treat women's bodies as a commodity, without criminalising women who are driven into sex work.
"The idea that prostitution is the oldest profession leads some to think we should accept it as a fact of life, that all we can do is regulate it a little better. This course of action leads to an increase in prostitution levels, normalising the purchase of sex and ingraining the inequalities which sustain the sex industry."
The issue was brought to the fore in January when MEPs voted in favour of a report from the European parliament's women's rights committee that argued prostitution and trafficking were a fundamental violation.
Sweden was the first country to criminalise the purchase of sex, in 1999. Since then the Nordic model has become increasingly popular across Europe. Norway and Iceland adopted the model in 2009, and in December 2013 France followed suit. The main alternative to the Nordic model is the Dutch-style legalisation championed by the Netherlands and Germany, which fully legalise prostitution.
The issue of criminalisation is contentious. Supporters of the Nordic model say prostitution is inherently exploitative and that the criminalisation of sex-buyers will lead to a reduction in prostitution. While they argue that the model will ensure the conviction of sex buyers and the protection of prostitutes, proponents of decriminalisation fear the opposite. They argue that criminalising prostitution will drive sex work underground and increase the vulnerability of prostitutes.
Honeyball maintains that many women who sell their bodies for sex have been trafficked or coerced into doing so. She argues that "very few women work in prostitution completely of their own free will, and choices made in conditions of being unequal cannot be considered free".
Europol, the EU's law enforcement agency, says women and girls constitute 96% of trafficked people. It adds that 91% of trafficking cases relate to sexual exploitation, while only 7% relate to labour exploitation and 2% to other forms.
Most of the victims of sexual exploitation are trafficked to countries where prostitution is legal and/or regulated, rather than countries which adopt the Nordic model, Europol says.
Myria Vassiliadou, the EU anti-trafficking co-ordinator, said: "If hundreds of thousands of women are trafficked, there will continue to be hundreds of thousands of customers. We must stop the demand and recognise the clear link between trafficking and prostitution … We need to create a culture where buyers are aware that the women they are buying services off might be victims of trafficking."
However, several anti-trafficking campaigners have criticised the proposal to criminalise prostitution. Some 450 civil society organisations and 45 researchers oppose the Nordic model.
Luca Stevenson, who co-ordinates the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe, said: "The criminalisation of clients is not only ineffective in reducing prostitution and trafficking, it is also dangerous for sex workers. It increases stigma, which is the root cause of violence against us. It is a failed policy denounced by all sex workers' organisations and many women's, LGBT and migrants' organisations, as well as many UN bodies."
Ana Mohr, who supports sex workers in Bucharest, and has been lobbying MEPs to vote against the EU resolution, said: "The Nordic model increases the vulnerability of prostitutes and pushes sex work underground. In essence, criminalisation leads to stigma, and stigma leads to harassment."
She added that women who were forced to give up prostitution would be left with few alternatives to make money.
A spokesman for Anti-Slavery International said the Nordic model did not go far enough. "A comprehensive range of legislation is needed to ensure the prevention of trafficking and the provision of victim protection," he said. "Women who are forced to become prostitutes via trafficking are examples of modern-day slavery." | positive |

On a sunny spring day, shooters drive miles on pot-hole ridden roads with a car full of ammo to spend their day off enjoying their favorite outdoor recreational activity.
They arrive at what is usually an empty field. This time, overwhelming their customary view of the surrounding green hills, are mounds of beer cans, broken glass and empty cartridges.
Some recreational shooters are littering local public lands, shooting in unsafe locations and damaging the local environment, a problem acknowledged by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) that was addressed last year, but no further action has been taken.
Many students and local community members alike enjoy target shooting; it’s a pastime for many in the Ellensburg area.
Between 2005 and 2010, Ellensburg has seen a population increase of 1,400 people, according to the United States Census Bureau.
As the Kittitas Valley sees an influx in population levels, more and more people are taking advantage of the surrounding land to target shoot.
Durr Road, located in the Wenas Wildlife Area near Umptanum Road, is showing scars of this pastime.
With the increased numbers participating in target shooting, local shooting pits are being neglected and piling up with trash.
Empty cartridges, broken glass and even a car bumper are just a few notable pieces of litter around the shooting area.
According to the Washington State Legislature WAC 332-52-145, all target shooting must take place in “developed recreation facilities” or in areas with “unobstructed, earthen backstop capable of stopping all projectiles and debris in a safe manner.”
By Washington standards, popular shooting pits like the ones on Durr Road are not legal. Lacking a proper backstop, these locations provide no guarantee to stop stray shots.
Such locations not only pose an environmental hazard, they also pose a threat to others enjoying nearby public lands whether or not they are participating in such activites.
“If there is not a decent place [to shoot], these problems will arise,” said Hal Mason, president of the Kittias Valley rifle and pistol club.
As president of KVRPC, Mason has participated in cleanups of the local shooting pits, like Durr Road. However, the problem extends further than those responsible shooters.
Kittitas Valley Rifle and Pistol Club (KVRPC), the local range headed by Mason, offers a “heated, well lit and safe place,” according to Mason, for those responsible target shooters all year long, reducing the hazards associated with target shooting.
Such options are being considered by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), which manages the Wenas Wildlife Area where many of these rogue pits exist.
Currently, local community members and organizations are working to keep such sites clean and safe.
Kittitas County Field and Stream, based out of Ellensburg, hosts a yearly cleanup at Durr Road sites. This year’s cleanup took place last Saturday, and offered volunteers doughnuts, coffee and a hamburger for their help.
Despite multiple attempts to reach out to WDFW for an interview, they did not reply.
