Charlie Lovett, captain at St. Brides Correctional Center, stands outside the prison on Dec. 29, 2017.
Charlie Lovett has three identical captain’s uniforms for work at St. Brides Correctional Facility: The one he’s wearing, one in the wash, and one pressed and ready to go.
He had three U.S. Navy uniforms, too.
Lovett has always seen his uniform as a crucial part of his role, both in the U.S. Navy and as an employee for the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC). He takes pride in the patches and accessories on the uniform, and has noticed people treat him like a professional if he dresses like one.
The importance of uniform is one of the several similarities Lovett’s noticed between the military and St. Brides. The two career paths, he says, have quite a bit in common, which is why so many veterans in Virginia wind up working for the commonwealth’s criminal justice system. Veterans make up about 12 percent of the men and women employed by the Virginia Department of Corrections. At St. Brides Correctional Facility, a medium-security state prison about 10 minutes from the North Carolina border, veterans are about one-third of the prison’s staff.
The high percentage of veterans in criminal justice partially is due to the state’s V3, or Virginia Values Veterans Program, authorized under state code that requires the Department of Veterans Services to develop a program to reduce unemployment among veterans by helping businesses attract and hire veterans. More than 20,400 veterans have been hired with the program’s assistance since 2012, according to V3’s website, and VADOC signed on to V3 in 2015.
VADOC is the state’s largest employer of military veterans. Other major employers include Dominion Energy, Bon Secours and Apex Systems.
VADOC has hired more than 480 veterans since the partnership with V3 started in October 2015 and says it would like to bring at least 100 more veterans on board in the next year.
“Their communication skills are on point because of the training they’ve got,” said Beth Cabell, a warden at St. Brides.
Lovett said the inherent similarities between the military and VADOC naturally attract veterans and make for a smooth transition. He pointed to the paramilitary environment, structure, long hours and passion for working with people. Plus, the uniform was a big selling point.
“I wanted a job that required a uniform so I wouldn’t have to figure out what to wear every day. It would’ve been crazy for me to wake up and put on civilian clothes,” said Lovett, who was hired at St. Brides in 2004 and promoted to captain in February 2012.
Originally from Gay, Ga., a small town about 50 miles south of Atlanta, Lovett now calls Hampton Roads home. The 62-year-old has a calm, professional demeanor and insists he’s just an ordinary guy who loves his job. He joined the Navy out of high school in 1973 and trained at Pearl Harbor, but spent the majority of his 30-year career at Naval Station Norfolk. There, he spent shore duty at the Brig, or the military prison. Lovett noticed people who wound up at the Brig often were young men who had gotten caught up using marijuana or fighting.
He liked the job, he said, because it allowed him to work with people — something he’s always liked. That compassion for other people is what led him back to corrections after he retired from the Navy in 2003. His last role was as a command master chief for the base at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard — a position that allowed him to act as a liaison between the command officer and enlisted personnel.
He started working security in the kitchen at St. Brides in 2004 before moving up the ranks to captain. The hardest part, he said, was the humility he learned by starting back at the bottom.
“I had to realize I was no longer a command master chief in the Navy,” he said.
Now his job is to make sure St. Brides is promoting a safe and secure environment and making sure inmates know about the prison’s programs and classes that contribute to Virginia’s low recidivism rate. At 22.4 percent, Virginia's re-incarceration rate has been the lowest in the country for two years, among the 45 states that report three-year incarceration rates.
Lovett said he likes being part of that statewide goal to lower recidivism. The prison has a number or programs to help inmates ultimately find jobs and housing, and he’s excited to talk about them.
Until then, he’s keeping all three uniforms nearby.

Soft as a mother’s touch. Environmentally-friendly. Heavenly. Woven in the age-old tradition of our grandmothers!
Eco_NANNE features blankets and throws for baby.
Eco_NANNE is a textile design project, inspired by the home-spun culture of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Eco_NANNE is a small collection, created by traditional hand looms that offset the innovative and modern materials used. A collection that stands for both materials and culture, goodness and life.
We chose to use only natural and organic fibres because we want to be a part of baby’s sensory journey, of his natural development.
Each product stimulates one of the senses. Slowly, step by step, baby’s eyes are opened to the world, without losing sight of the warmth of nature, of our origins.
Eco_NANNE was designed especially for Flowerssori by “Noi…dell’arte”. It is part of a project known as TRAMà.
Textile designers: Flavia Caffi and Antonella Pizzolongo.
We cuddle our sleeping babies.
TRAMà weaves for Flowerssori like we used to, once upon a time.
Soft organic cotton and prized lambswool woven together by hand: Eco_NININE is the most natural expression of a child’s ancestral sensitivity. It tells a story, baby’s first stories, baby’s first embrace with mommy. It surrounds baby in a magical world of fragrances and sensations that will remain forever ingrained in baby’s memory.
Soft and fleecy lambswool and cotton woven together by hand: Eco_NINI offers a warm embrace of natural fibres. Once baby takes his first step towards independence, his self-awareness emerges, together with his natural curiosity and his fledgling experience, which push him to discover the world, to feel things with his fingers, to travel unexplored roads on his throw.
The blankets and throws are handwoven. The fabrics used are wonderfully soft, organic and of excellent quality.

BBC News Online will look a bit different from next week.
The new "responsive" version (which we previewed and wrote about here and then here ) will be what you see when you come to the desktop website, from Monday onwards.
It brings the responsive design we've had for a while on mobile and tablet to the desktop site, and it's designed to look great whichever device you are using. It's intended to be an evolution of what's gone before, rather than a radical rethink, and it will make it easier for us to add further improvements and features in future.
Developed by the BBC Future Media News Product team, the new version is based on user testing and lots of feedback. Niko Vijayaratnam, our Senior Product Manager leading the work, explains more here and outlines the main changes you'll see.
We hope you'll enjoy using the new site - let us know what you think, by leaving comments and questions on his blog post, or in the survey here.

A botched war memorial which began sinking because of shoddy workmanship has been repaired.
The sculpture on Islington Green, just off Upper Street, began to appear crooked six years after it was erected in 2006 and an investigation last autumn revealed a serious failure in the concrete foundations.
Steel supports underneath the memorial, which was designed by Royal Academy sculptor, John Maine, were never placed in the foundations, causing the concrete plinth to crack.
The repair work has now been completed a week ahead of schedule and will be fully re-opened to the public at the end of the month.
Leader of Islington Council, Richard Watts, said: “When we learned that the original contractors had done such a shoddy job, I was completely livid. This memorial marks the contribution and sacrifice that so many Islington residents have made for their country.
The remaining fencing on Islington Memorial Green will be removed at the end of May after newly laid grass has had time to establish itself.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War and a number of events across the borough have been taking place to honour the occasion.

All Photos by Jim Mason This peaceful retreat lies in the heart of the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie. Purple prairie clover, catclaw sensitive brier, blue false indigo, and yellow prairie coneflower are just a few of the many wildflowers that bloom in the rolling hills around the lake.
During spring and fall the lake offers one of the area's few stopovers for migrating ducks-among them American wigeons, blue-winged teal, mallards, buffleheads, lesser scaup, and northern shovelers. Anglers are entertained by painted turtles, bullfrogs, chorus frogs, and by dragonflies cruising the shoreline for small insects.
At both ends of the lake, small wooded areas adjoin the North Branch of Rock Creek. Beaver cuttings are evident, as are the bushy leaf nests of fox squirrels. Bobwhites, cardinals, chickadees, woodpeckers, and other woodland birds are concentrated along this riparian corridor.
Greater prairie chicken booming grounds (leks) on the surrounding prairie can be located on still spring mornings by driving slowly along country roads at sunrise and stopping frequently to listen for the displaying males. Other prairie birds include upland sandpipers, Henslow's sparrows, common nighthawks, loggerhead shrikes, and eastern meadowlarks. Be alert for deer and coyotes. Bobcats are also here but are seldom seen.
Picnic tables, Shelters, Grills, Pit toilets, Boat ramp, Water available.

The events working group are in the process of planning the official play park opening, which will take place in the Spring when the weather will hopefully be much drier and warner. Please look out on the noticeboards and facebook page for further details.
The outstanding equipment is currently being installed and will be complete in the next few days. A new bike rack and a 1.2m high ROSPA spec bow top multi-coloured fence will be installed shortly. The events working group are busy arranging the official opening. So please look out for updates on the website and facebook page. Our thanks again to WREN for the £50,000.00 grant funding, without this money the project would not have happened.
Metheringham Parish Council are delighted to announce that the new play park is now open. We hope all the young people enjoy using this fantastic new facility for many years to come.
The on-site construction team are really pleased with the smoothness of the installation, with no issues during their time here. Due to supply issues with the manufacturer 5 pieces of equipment will not be installed until mid August (please see attached poster for details) as a result the Official opening will now take place in September.
The Parish Council have tried very hard to improve facilities on the field. Along with the new play park there is the Skate park and tennis court and of course your community swimming pool. Please make use of these and all the other facilities your village has to offer.
The parish council would like to express our thanks to WREN, without the grant the new play park would not have been possible.
The play park equipment currently in use at the Prince’s Street play park is coming to the end of its useful life and therefore needs replacing.
During 2016 the parish council consulted with potential user groups and residents within the village to obtain their views and opinions on the project.
The parish council utilized this information to select play pieces and obtained quotations, whilst applying for grant funding from WREN. This application was successful and a grant of £50,000.00 was awarded towards the new play equipment.
The quotations have been received and the preferred supplier selected. HAGS will commence the installation on 23rd June, an official opening date will be announced soon.

Are you feeling a bit like your life is off track? Like somewhere along the line you jumped the rails? Or maybe you were never on the track at all? Did you ever have big dreams, or ideas of what you wanted? What happened to that? How did you get in this place of unhappiness or feeling a little lost? Why did you give up on a greater vision and settle into a less-than-optimal existence? When did good enough become ok with you? Why are you letting life pass you by?
I felt this in a huge way when I turned 40 and was in the midst of my divorce from a very unhappy and unhealthy marriage. It was basically starting over. I could clearly see many of the mistakes I’d made, and the bad choices that weren’t in alignment with what I wanted in my life. I had settled into misery for a long time and accepted it, but now I was choosing a different path and making changes.
It was scary as heck to start over at that age. I felt incredibly lost. In a desperate attempt to figure out who I was, I even hired a life coach to help get me back on track. I really didn’t have any idea what I wanted – I just knew that I didn’t want to be miserable anymore. And let me tell you, that’s a great first step – to not accept that anymore and want to change your life for the better.
How do you start to change life for the better at this point? Don’t give up on your dreams! Even if life has taken you down a rather rough path, you can get back on track. You just need to know where you’re going, keep the vision and the faith you can get there, and take steps forward in that direction.
Make a list of what you want in your life and be as specific as you can. List out all the attributes and even the feelings around the career/job you want, significant other, friends, etc. Any area of your life you want to change – describe what you want it to be with as much detail and emotion as you can. If you can feel what it would be like, then you’ve got it.
Stop acting on your fears. Stop worrying that you’ll fail. Stop worrying what people will say or think of you. Stop worrying that you aren’t good enough. Stop stressing about everything that could go wrong and focus on the end goal. Take a leap of faith. Stop stopping and GO!
Find a support network. Surround yourself with ‘cheerleaders’ – people who will be supportive of your ideas and the changes you want to make. (Maybe post a comment on this blog and find support here?) Definitely don’t talk to people who don’t “get you” and will discourage you from following your dreams or making needed changes.
Take a look at your priorities and where you are spending your time. Many people say they don’t have time to make needed changes, but you really just need to start to plan and carve out some time. Even an hour a day would allow you to get quite a bit done, but any bit of time you can spare is time you can focus on making changes.
Stop making excuses. People make SO MANY excuses. Stop trying to invent excuses to stay miserable or to not “rock the boat” in your life. Making big changes is definitely not for the faint-of-heart. But enough with the excuses. At the end of your life you will deeply regret all the excuses and not living the joyful life you could have had. So stop. As Nike says, “Just do it”.
Stop every so often to assess your happiness level and celebrate your successes too. You are doing great! Moving right along! Yay!! But now check in and see if your changes are helping? Are you headed in the right direction, or do you need to reassess or change something? Rather than bulldozing forward without looking up, stop and check in with yourself. Clarity comes in quiet moments. You good? Ok, continue.
Making positive changes can be difficult in the short term. Painful even. But whatever you do don’t get sucked into the unhappiness or misery. Don’t let yourself feel like you’ve gone too far down that road of misery and can’t go back. You aren’t stuck. You can ALWAYS turn around and create a happy life.
Just start to imagine and reach for the happiness – the awesome life you deserve! If you can keep moving forward in that direction, even if it’s small steps, you can create the life of your dreams. Believe it and you can achieve it!

Thrombectomy is a highly effective way to treat ischaemic large vessel occlusion stroke. “Time is brain” remains crucial as the thrombectomy benefit is highly time-dependent. Speaking at the 15th annual meeting of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS; 23–27 July, San Francisco, USA), Wolfgang G Kunz, (assistant professor of Radiology at LMU Munich, Germany) presented results from the HERMES collaboration on the lifetime health and cost consequences of treatment delays in thrombectomy for stroke. The data illustrate that not only is time brain, time also is money.
Thrombectomy is expected to reduce the financial impact that stroke has in many countries, including the USA, UK, Australia and Sweden, said Kunz. In a letter he co-wrote with Myriam G Hunink (Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands) and published in Stroke in 2017, he reinforced that the use of thrombectomy will lead to long-term cost-savings, not just in the US insurance-based system but also in the UK’s free at point of use system.
Knowing this means that it is imperative to implement thrombectomy and to reduce time to treatment—for the patients as well as to reduce the financial burden of stroke in ageing societies.
There are many delays in the stroke treatment workflow. Even before the patient gets to the hospital there can be delays in symptom recognition, contacting emergency services and getting the patient to a hospital that provides thrombectomy. Once a patient reaches the correct hospital, the workflow often is not optimised for stroke triage with serial instead of parallel task processing and imaging protocols that can add up to a 20-minute delay (Goyal et al. Radiology 2016).
Quality-adjusted life years (QALY) represent quality of life over time. The quality of life ranges from 1.0 representing a perfect quality of life, to 0.0 representing no quality of life. The stroke patients’ quality of life is closely related to their modified Rankin Scale (mRS): mRS of 0 typically leads to very high quality of life while patients with an mRS of 5 reported on average 0.0 quality of life, as evident from questionnaires across multiple large patient cohorts.
In a cost analysis of the SWIFT-PRIME trial, a thrombectomy procedure cost on average US$15,000 with the long-term care costs ranging from US$10,569 annually for patients with an mRS of 1, to US$64,327 annually for patients with an mRS of 5.
Mayank Goyal, senior author of the study, neurointerventionalist at the University of Calgary in Canada, and chair of the HERMES collaboration, co-designed the analysis with Kunz. They applied data from all seven participating trials of HERMES and used 90-day mRS outcome stratified by time to puncture as main input for the health economic model calculations.
They found that for every minute delay in treatment there was a loss of four days of disability-free life. Considering life with functional independence (mRS 0–2), a one-minute delay even resulted in a loss of 10 days on average. The net monetary benefit is an indicator of the economic value of care, and was highest when the time to puncture was shortest. The analysis showed that the median loss in net monetary benefit of thrombectomy per minute was US$1,059—expediting treatment with thrombectomy by 10 minutes in the USA on a national level would lead to a financial benefit of US$249 million annually.
By reducing time to treatment, streamlining workflow, and improving thrombectomy technique there is a vast potential, not only to save and improve patients’ lives, but also to reduce the economic burden of stroke.

Uhm… only I see address of video, instead of embedded video?
Wait, did U.S.A. realized need to have such type of weapon earlier than Great Britain?
Though not used in combat, need for such cartridge was detected. After end of war (remember: “to end all wars”) development slow down.
Now time to dig deeper! Fast back to 1901, when .50 North was developed as described there: http://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=1487 and shown here http://www.cartridgecollector.net/500-colt-kynoch which remained “orphan” – no machine gun for firing it was ever crafted so far I know. See also 3rd image from top there: https://strangernn.livejournal.com/1505624.html showing patent drawing, speculated to show how said machine gun would be looking like. It never go further in development as there was not need (or at least awareness of need) among then current military, which was satisfied enough with shrapnel* shell for tasks, which could be done with such machine gun. Keep in mind that at the time, full potential of machine gun was not realized, which will change during Great War.
*artillery shell which explodes mid-air creating “rain” of shards, desirably over heads of enemy.
why do you always try to hijack his comments? why don’t you just start your own website/channel?
Lets keep one thing straight: I am looking for truth. Nothing more or less.
I already show presumptions supporting alternative hypothesis, if you have presumptions supporting null hypothesis please show them.
Of the mentioned MG18 TuF machinegun about a dozen had been manufactured by the end of the war, but Germany was not allowed to keep them. Then there was the Vickers .50″. Maybe one might even count guns like the Pom-Pom as a (very) heavy machinegun. Some Hotchkiss desings shoot bigger than rifle caliber. The ZB-50, -53, BESA. MG151, DShK etc etc. Of which all had precursors in the twenties. Nothing of the sort of no development. The M2 is IMHO remarkable as being introduced as the water-cooled M1921. At a time, when all other nations pretty much stopped all military spending. Pretty remarkable really, as the USA also slashed the budget. As soon as there was trouble on the horizon work on bigger machine guns resumed. Though e.g. Germany opted to go to 20 mm machine cannons mostly instead.
Here we touch very convoluted topic: what is machine gun yet, and what is auto-cannon already?
Answer, depend heavily at country or even user or even point in history. During WWII Flygvapnet used version of Browning recoil-operated in 13,2 mm and that weapon they called it Akan m/39 where Akan mean auto-cannon. Nazi Luftwaffe considered anything below 30 mm caliber to be machine gun, for example one of Oerlikon 20 mm auto-cannons was known as MG FF to them, at same time Panzerwaffe used 20 mm caliber /but beware: it use different cartridge/ tank [auto-cannon] namely 2 cm KwK (where last K is for Kanone), in Poland they created word nkm literally meaning heaviest machine gun as name for auto-cannon (c.f. nkm wz.38).
For purposes of your discussion: where is border between machine gun and auto-cannon?
The thing about the M2 that has to be remembered is that it wasn’t developed as an MG, per se. It was an anti-tank weapon.
Do remember that the US did not develop an anti-tank rifle during the interwar years; they had no need, because that role was fulfilled by the M2. Which the US Army pretty much treated as the equivalent of the TOW missile, during its day. It was not until heavier armor came into use, obviating the .50 as an anti-armor tool that we really started seeing the M2 used as a basic heavy MG system.
Wait, I always though it was treated to be anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon. Was it designed as such from start or that anti-aircraft role was added later?
The Army intended it as an anti-tank weapon, but the Navy wanted it for anti-aircraft.
Due to their own developments like torpedo bombers, as well as watching the U.S. Army developing fast twin-engined medium bombers ostensibly for coast defense, the Navy early on recognized that one of their big problems in any future war at sea would be air attack at all levels from heavy bombers at 20,000 feet plus to fighters, single-engined dive and torpedo bombers, and twin-engined fast mediums attacking anywhere from 5,000 feet to right on the wavetops.
While 5″ dual-purpose guns could deal with heavies at high altitude (a 5″, or 127mm, was larger and fired a heavier shell to higher altitude than all but the largest land-based heavy AA guns), and automatic cannon of 37mm or so could deal with the mediums up to 10,000 feet or so, they needed a very rapid-fire gun bigger than rifle caliber for stopping the ones coming in on the deck at masthead height or lower. Hence the water-cooled “fifty”, that stayed in naval service right through the war because it could keep pouring out bullets as long as it could be fed without having to stop for barrel changes as often. Not to mention having a much higher rate of fire than the heavier weapons.
This was also the reason for the 1.1″ quadruple Hudson heavy machine gun. It was largely replaced by 1943 by the 40mm Bofors and the 20mm Oerlikon, not because it wasn’t powerful enough but because it was chronically unreliable.
Also, the Navy found that the “fifty”, in air-cooled versions, was a good weapon for light craft like PT boats for both AA and for destroying light enemy surface craft. Plus, a relatively small (by Navy standards) craft like a PT could carry more .50 ammunition ready for use in its gun tub feeds than it could physically larger ammunition like 20mm.
The “Fifty” is still in Naval and Coast Guard service today, simply because as with the Army and Marines on land, nobody has come up with anything that does its job as well, as cheaply, and as reliably as the century-old Browning design.
And for a lot of purposes, the fifty’s half-inch, armor-piercing bullet at 2,800 F/S or so and around 750 R/M rate of fire is more than sufficient without fooling around with explosive projectiles, fuzing, and etc.
The KISS Rule still applies.
nitpick: it is not P-P-S-H it is P-P-Sh. The Sh is one letter in cyrillic and sounds just what its transliteration looks like.
I think in on of the many chieftain video’s about “inside the tank” the use of the MG34 was explained in part by how the quick change barrel works. with the MG34 it can be done from inside since the receiver rotates at the back, and the barrel moves straight back.
With the MG42, it pivots out of the side, hard to do with armor around that part. this makes more sense to me than the “it costs time to change the armor mounts”seeing how much model variants of tanks they put out there.
This is completely accurate, to my understanding. The MG34 was kept in production because they needed it for under-armor applications, and because, well… What else were they going to do with the production machinery? They were still issuing non-armor units MG34 guns until the end of the war, BTW.
Its bite is as bad as its bark according to my father. He was an Infantry Rifle Platoon Leader in Italy during WWII from Fall 1944, until V-Day with Japan in Fall 1945. He said the MG-42 was a great gun and highly regarded, and feared, by the US troops – mat least in his platoon. He said before they were sent up to the line north of Rome in Fall 1944, they went through training. Part of that training was to lie in a ditch and listen as the various weapons were fired over their heads so they could recognized the friendly fire from enemy fire. He said the MG-42 was called the “burp gun” (not the MP-40) and fired so fast it sounded like someone ripping cloth – rrrrrriiiiipppp. He also commented that its tripod was excellent and had a ratchet (I can’t remember the exact word he used) that could be set to have the gun traverse, even at an angle, using the recoil of the entire gun in its tripod carriage. The MG-42’s bite was a bad as its bite, to my father.
(He was also very, very impressed with the 88 high-velocity gun and the German’s ability with the mortar (he said by the second round they had you ranged and you had to MOVE because the third round would be on top of you!).
With regards to the German MG rate of fire, both Ian and John miss the point of it all–Which was to saturate the beaten zone as quickly as possible and as far away from the gun as practical.
You don’t “get” the whole benefit of having a gun that fires 1200 rounds per minute until you’re shooting at a squad-size target out past 1000m. With a classic “American MG model” gun that fires 500-600rpm, the initial round of a burst hits, and before the last round of that burst hits, there’s enough time for a good chunk of that squad to find cover. Against an MG42, however…? The targeted troops have just enough time to observe the puffs of dust hitting around them, and then that’s it–No time to get to cover.
The whole thing is predicated on the timing–If your burst is delivered to the beaten zone quickly enough, your targets don’t get a chance to do more in reaction than bleed. If you’re slow, they’re going to be able to get down out of the path of the burst, and you’ll have to expend more ammo to suppress them since you didn’t kill them with the opening surprise burst.
The Germans were not foolish, and they fully understood the logistics implications of issuing an MG system that could deliver (reputedly…) up to 1400rpm. This point is one that all too many American military people fail to understand, and because of that, much of the debate is distorted by the oblivious parroting of the WWII technical intelligence types who failed to understand or comprehend the implications of what they were seeing.
The machinegun was fundamental to German infantry tactics and the entire Gruppe was centred on the lMG team. This is at odds with Allied tactics, whereby the riflemen were given more importance. The development of a mobile, light machinegun with a high rate of fire provided the German Gruppe with a highly effective offensive and defensive capability. Unlike the Allied equivalents (at the section level – the BAR or Bren Gun), the primary purpose of the German lMG team was to suppress the enemy in order to facilitate the advance of the riflemen, or to pour as much fire as possible upon an advancing enemy.
So it should be no surprise that Germans give more importance to machine gun development than adversaries.
The American and British doctrine was more a recognition of basic facts than having a different point of view. Both the BAR and Bren are fed by box magazines, and simply cannot deliver the sheer volume of fire of a belt-fed gun.
Fortunately, both the American M1 Garand (8-round en-bloc clip) and British SMLE/ Rifle No. 4 family (10-round magazine fed by two 5-round stripper clips) had greater magazine capacity than anybody else’s standard infantry rifles. So they could deliver a heavy base of fire simply with the section’s (or squad’s) rifles, reserving the SAW for covering fire during the bounds in an advance, or for points of resistance in a direct assault.
I suspect this doctrine would not have worked nearly as well with the bolt-action M1903 or M1917 rifles, both of which only had five-shot magazines and stripper-clip loading.
The Japanese almost had the worst setup, with the five-shot Type 99 bolt-action and box-magazine fed Type 99 LMG.
The unfortunate Italians drew the Wonka ticket in that lottery, with the en-bloc clip loaded, five-shot bolt-action Carcano and a succession of LMGs that all had one thing in common; they didn’t work very well at all.
The fact that the Italians adopted both the Garand (which they modified into the BM-59 with a 20-shot box magazine ala’ the BAR) and the MG42/59 very quickly after they were back in the game with NATO is something everybody else should think about, even today.
Excuse my being pedantic and nit-picky… The Carcano rifle has a six-round en-bloc clip. And the Breda LMG doesn’t have a removable magazine, but rather a charger-loading set up. Admittedly, the magazine feed lips are one of the biggest sources of stoppages in such arms, so doing away with them, so-to-speak, by having them internal to the gun like the Tokarev TT33 pistol, the Madsen LMG/Machine Rifle, etc. has merit.
I also might point out that already back in WWI zee Germans were trying to use technology in such a fashion that a decentralized “defense in depth” of the vaunted Sigfriedstellung/Hindenburg Line might be accomplished with fewer troops, hence the lavish use of MG08/15s, which in spite of their failings, were the quasi-man portable MG that the army had available… The thinking of having a high rate of fire to saturate an area with a fleeting, moving target was similarly borne out by that tactical experience.
While the MG42 fires so fast that it saturates the “beaten zone” in a highly lethal fashion, it does so at the expenditure of enormous quantities of ammo, requiring “head bearers” to transport, and at the tactical disadvantage of requiring no less that six spare barrels! So like everything, there are trade-offs.
I do not know what “Wonka” mean there, but I want to point that their additionally worsened situation with introduction of 7,35 mm cartridge, which added logistic burden as then they have two cartridge (new 7,35 mm and old 6,5 mm) in place off 1.
After they considered this design to be mature enough they ordered 10000 examples, but soon after that they decided that they do not want it, as they reverse their earlier decision “we shoot 7,35 mm now”. Rifle was redesigned to 6,5 mm but due the whole turmoil, this weapon was delivered in very limited quantity.
Lesson is that, there might be “good” and “bad” choice, but if you choose “bad” and then try to revert it, it might be even worse than “bad” choice alone.

Over-apologizing hurts your credibility. Here are five tricks to help you curb the habit.
I don’t remember when I started being an over-apologizer. It might have been at a previous job, when my bosses told me that I was “questioning” my senior colleagues too often. Somewhere early in my professional journey, “sorry” became an overused word in my vocabulary.
I have learned that my tendency to say “sorry” all the time probably stemmed from imposter syndrome, and the negative reactions that I, as a woman in the workplace, sometimes face when I display any signs of strength or authority. But saying “sorry” isn’t doing me any favors in the credibility department. In fact, it’s doing the complete opposite. By apologizing unnecessarily, I voluntarily put myself in a subservient position.
Over the years, I’ve worked hard to try to eliminate unnecessary apologies in my daily conversations. I still slip up about 20% of the time (bad habits are hard to break, after all), but for the most part, I’ve trained myself to catch the words before they come out by employing a few tips and tricks. If you’re struggling with the tendency to use “sorry” when the situation doesn’t warrant an apology, here are a few things you can do.
Everyone makes mistakes at work sometimes. Surely that requires owning up to them, right? Not always. For big screw-ups, a sincere apology is necessary, but for small ones, there are ways to take responsibility without diminishing your credibility further.
Sometimes, the best thing is not to say anything at all. A good example of this is in a negotiation–where those with the tendency to over-apologize might start an argument with “Sorry, but . . . ,” unintentionally diminishing their power. Training yourself to pause and allow some silence is a much more effective tool, even if it feels uncomfortable. By pausing, you give more weight to what you’re saying, as Ellevest CEO and former Citigroup CFO Sallie Krawcheck told Sylvia Ann Hewlett in her book, Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Talent and Success.
4. Ask Yourself, Have I Actually Done Something Wrong?
Sometimes, the tendency to apologize can come from self-imposed guilt rather than actual wrongdoing. As writer Claire Zulkey previously wrote for Fast Company, women in particular are more prone to guilt and apologize for not meeting certain expectations, even if they themselves aren’t personally interested in meeting those expectations. Zulkey talked about how as a working mother, she felt the need to apologize for putting her son in daycare while she worked full-time, despite the fact that she knows it’s the right decision for her and her family.
Whenever I feel the urge to say “sorry” out of guilt, I ask myself this question. Most of the time, it’s because I didn’t meet some sort of expectation that I’d set for myself that the person I was apologizing to didn’t even have.

RazorEngine is an open source templating engine based on Microsoft’s parsing engine. You can use Razor syntax to build dynamic templates. In a project that I’m working on, I’m using it to build an email based on data retrieved from different sources. Let me show you how to start using RazorEngine in your project.
Create a new console application using visual studio. Now install RazorEngine using nuget (Install-Package RazorEngine). After installing RazorEngine, you will see 2 packages in your packages.config, Microsoft.AspNet.Razor and RazorEngine.
Now create a strongly typed view.
Make sure you save the file as a c# view (extension .chtml). As you can see from the above image, we are using the ConsumableData model which will hold the data for us.
With the template in place, we can add code in our Program.cs file to gather our ConsumableData by setting CustomerName to Raymond.
With our data in place, it is time to use RazorEngine and compile our template.
After calling RazorEngine’s RunCompile method, we will have our email ready to be send.
As you can see, you can use RazorEngine to build dynamic templates. If you have used Asp.Net Mvc before, the above code should be familiar to you.
Take it for a spin and let me know what you think.

At Ruckus, we are often asked: “What’s next?” Our answer covers IoT, 802.3bz, 802.11ax, more content options, plus more and smaller devices, and it always includes “and whatever you can imagine!” The follow-up question for hotel owners is, “How do we prepare?” Having your network ready for 5GHz and 802.11ac and understanding the value of in-room access points (APs) are some examples of Wi-Fi readiness.
We believe a solid foundation is critical to the future success of your hotel’s technology strategy. Your network should be able to handle today’s demands and scale up to support future requirements.
Ruckus has been working with hotels on Wi-Fi since the early installation of 802.11b/g. Hotels have transitioned through many Wi-Fi standards and advances: 802.11b to 11g, 11g to 11n, 11n to 11ac and eventually placing more emphasis on 5 GHz over 2.4 GHz. While there have been financial outlays, frustration, mistakes and hard lessons, as an industry, we’ve learned that proper AP placement is the cornerstone for a solid foundation. And, while standards and Ethernet switch architecture evolve, cable foundations provide a great conduit for the coming wave of new technology. It’s yet another layer to build on.
As the next big Wi-Fi protocol update, 802.11ax, hits the market in 2018, the physics of the unlicensed 2.4 and 5GHz bands will remain unchanged and should allow for changing AP endpoints, not the cabling. Moreover, 802.11ax will be doing a lot more in the same spectrum and coverage area.
Having the correct cabling media, power sources, design and architecture is one of the most important decisions you will make concerning Wi-Fi protocols. The Layer 1 choices you make today will impact your network for years to come. We are now seeing APs that are truly over the 1 GbE mark, such as the Ruckus R720 and, in the future, 802.11ax APs. These APs will also require greater PoE power budgets—Ethernet switches will need to provide power greater than 802.3af (15.4W) or even 802.3at (30W), and they will need to support PoH (60W).
Ruckus sees this as a staged process unfolding over the course of several years. To help hotels move in this direction, we have rolled out switches in the ICX 7000 series, which support 802.3bz (2.5GbE over CAT 5e and above) and PoH. As you plan your strategy and budget for Ethernet switching, be sure to include switches with the capability of the ICX 7150 Z-series for key applications such as conference areas.
Yes, more wireless is coming to hotels. At Ruckus, we are doing more with 3.5GHz LTE (OpenG) and radio technologies like Zigbee, BLE, Z-Wave and others. These run on top of the Ruckus platform in a Ruckus framework that provides control, visibility and analytics. The foundation of Ruckus wired and wireless products will allow new radio services to be added quickly and cost effectively to your hotel network. We’re very excited about this development, so stay tuned.
Of course, having this great technology in a hotel without a way to manage it would be like letting heat out of the window in winter. Ruckus offers a suite of software solutions—the SmartZone WLAN System, Smart Cell Insight Analytics and SPoT Location—that work together to provide full control of the system, advanced monitoring and detailed analytics. We continue to develop our products with an eye toward allowing holistic views of all our equipment (wireless and wireline). With many available options—from on-premises equipment to hosted solutions—a hotel can choose the model that fits their needs. Plus, the Ruckus architecture and our advanced APIs enable integration with third-party partner solutions, resulting in an end-to-end networking ecosystem.
Ruckus has been committed to the hotel industry since our inception and continues to focus on this sector. To learn more, visit us at HITEC in Toronto on June 26-29 at booth 1829. See the Ruckus HITEC Event Page for details or to arrange a meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Toronto or at your property!

Home Old Age Fitness Tips How To Get Rid Of Belly Fat After 60?
Reducing belly fat at any age is a hard task, but it becomes much harder after age 60. Read on here to learn the best way to get rid of belly fat after 60.
As we grow old, our lifestyle becomes sedentary. Moreover, the falling levels of hormones and the increasing loss of muscle mass after age of 30 years, cause more and more fat to gather around our waist than rest of our body.
For getting rid of belly fat after 60, we need to combine higher physical activities and a diet comprising of lower calories focusing on unprocessed and non-sugary foods. This is the key strategy to lose belly fat — no matter what your age is – even after 60 or 70.
As we age — our weight may remains more or less same, but we can see that fat begins accumulating around waist. This happens due to the growth of visceral fat. Visceral fat is different from subcutaneous fat. While subcutaneous fat lies right beneath the skin on our hips, legs and arms, the visceral fat (also called as internal belly fat) develops deep inside surrounding our internal organs. Visceral fat is dangerous and interferes with liver function. It enhances risk of heart problems and is a key reason for development of type 2 diabetes.
After age 40, the depleting levels of estrogen in women & testosterone in men causes the fat to go more toward the abdomen. That explains why as you age, the fat tends to pile up as belly fat instead of going to other body parts.
To lose belly fat, the best trick is follow two-pronged strategy in tandem that is diet and exercise. In a study reported in the journal “Obesity” in 2012, it was revealed that overweight women who participated in forty five minutes of cardiovascular workout 5 times per week and who decreased their caloric intake could achieve a significant decrease in their waist size, body mass index and percentage of body fat. Though in this study only women participated, but the same strategy can be effective for men, as well.
Understand Why We Gain Belly Fat With Age?
As we grow old, gaining some belly fat is a natural phenomenon. Once it is gained then it becomes very difficult to lose all of it in old age, but we can certainly minimize its appearance and its negative health implications with exercises and dietary changes.
After age 30, our muscles start depleting. This natural process of muscle loss is medically called as “Sarcopenia”, which every person suffers with aging. According to “The American Association of Retired Persons”’ such loss is about a pound per year after 30, if we don’t do strength training to conserve our muscle tissue. By the age 60 — with no exercise – most people lose approximately thirty pounds of muscle mass, with fat replacing most of the lost muscles. Fat is less effective in burning calories as compared to the muscles, meaning your body’s resting metabolism also takes a dip. Thus, even eating the same amount of food as you ate when you were younger, you are most likely to gain fat.
So, in order to prevent accumulation of fat due to slowing metabolism rate, we need to curtail our daily caloric intake by approximately hundred calories every ten years after age 40. Thus, at 60 or after 60, you should aim to intake at least two hundred less calories every day than what were you taking in your 30s.
To reduce belly fat after 60, you have to cut down your calorie intake even more. To shed a pound of fat, you should eat 3,500 calories less than what you burn. A cutback of 500 to 1,000 calories per day leads to a weight loss of one to two pounds per week. For a majority of people above 60, this caloric-shortfall will amount to be very aggressive because it will place them at a caloric intake that’s not enough to provide the required amounts of nutrients and energy. For instance, an average sedentary woman above age of 50 might be burning only 1,600 calories per day. Curtailing this intake by 500 calories would leave her with only 1,100 calories per day, which is extremely hard to sustain on long term. So, she would need to rework her weight-loss goal to lose about half pound a week, which needs a 250-calorie deficit per day. Enhancing physical activity is a great way to help you increase your daily calorie burn to enable you achieve a 500-calorie deficit.
While preparing your meals, abstain from using refined grains — like white bread & pasta – and eat whole grains and fresh, green vegetables. These foods are high in fiber, which not only boost gut health, but they will also take longer to digest — so you will eat less and won’t feel starved. Include lean proteins like skinless poultry, trimmed steak, fish and eggs in every meal. Avoid sugar, fried foods, processed snacks, full-fat dairy & alcohol. Incorporate moderate amounts of monounsaturated fat & omega-3 fatty acids in your diet – but not more than 25 to 35 percent of your daily calories intake. Olive oil, fatty fish & nuts are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
We must keep an active physical lifestyle, which is most critical step along with diet aspect as suggested above, in order to lose belly fat and maintain a healthy weight – especially as we age.
We should do strength training covering all our major muscle groups at least on two days per week to help offset the natural muscle loss phenomena. You can begin strength training at any age to secure this benefit. If you are doing it first time or after a long gap, speak to your doctor before you start doing it. Once you start it then increase its intensity and weight you use, gradually.
Along with strength training, we should also include cardiovascular exercise for at least 250 minutes per week. As per the American College of Sports Medicine, cardiovascular exercises help reduce belly fat and lose weight significantly. In a research review published by the scientific journal “Plos One” in 2013, it was reported that even without major dietary modification — performing moderate to high intensity aerobic training can help get rid of visceral fat in overweight women and men after 12 weeks. We are not suggesting that you can get away with not modifying your diet, but simply telling you the power of physical activity.
Also never miss the other opportunities or options that can keep you more active in your day-to-day living. For example walk up the stairs instead of using elevators, park your car farther out in the parking lot, walk your dog two times in a day & play enthusiastically with your grandchildren. Such small lifestyle changes all together will enable you increase the number of calories you burn, helping you creating significant calorie deficit – which you need to lose weight and reduce belly fat.

During our recent Davao Fam Tour courtesy of Marco Polo Hotel Davao, one of the places we visited was The Davao Museum. I cant count how many times I’ve been to Davao City but it was actually my first time visiting this Museum, In fact I didn’t know that there was such until our recent visit.
Davao features a good many tourist attractions. You can easily spend a week and still have more to see. Aside from going to the beach, trying out water sports, and shopping for durian, I suggest you include this Museum on your itinerary to learn more about your country’s own ethnography and history.
The Davao Museum holds hundreds of artifacts and artwork created by ethnic groups in this region. Through this museum, Davaoenos and all Filipinos are able to preserve and protect remnants of their important historical heritage.
Through these priceless historical items, we are able to learn about the arts and culture of our ancestors that have shaped everyone’s cultural identity today, especially the culture of indigenous people.
A replica of a Bagobo house that is made from rattan, bamboo, and other natural materials. A typical Bagobo house has plenty of features such as separate sleeping quarters for single women, weaving areas for women and blacksmith stations for the men.
A diorama of a Bagobo thanksgiving festival (Ginum) that involves their indigenous wine, the balaba, and indigenous people playing musical instruments of their time.
Other dioramas of typical day to day life for bagobos, including weaving, and even a healing ritual done by the women to cure different illnesses.
You can catch these sights and plenty more if you pay the Davao Museum a visit.
A project by the Filipinas Foundation (now the Ayala Foundation) and the Zonta Club back in the 70s, the Davao Museum of History and Ethnography has now grown to be one of the best places to learn about Southern Mindanao’s rich history, culture, and ethnography.
The next time you find yourself in the city, make sure you take the time to take a tour and include Davao Museum on your itinerary.
Senior citizens and students must present their valid IDs.

About a month ago we, me and my friend and fellow student Wouter, started our internship at IS4U. I'll keep this introduction about us brief. I will just say that we arrived on a blitz from our Erasmus in Finland just the night before we started and we're graduating as Bachelors in Applied Informatics in June.
Our task was simple, we were to combine a single sign on (SSO) system, in our case it was CAS, together with a Virtual Directory: Penrose and MyVD. All of them open source software. We, being familiar with Linux, were somewhat used to working with open source software and had a good feeling of things to come.
What we experienced with the latter- myVD - was something different. Apart from its strange suggestive name it was a struggle and sometimes a real hassle to find the correct information and descriptions for implementing some specific needs for our project. On top of that it was also very unstable. It wasn't long before we deemed this piece of open source software inadequate for what we would need it. The myVD software was not up to par, although it has some potential it certainly lacks proper documentation. Trying to configure something that has very little documentation and a small community for support is a difficult thing.
Our second confrontation with a free virtual directory, called Penrose, was a lot better. It even came with a software program to configure the entire virtual directory with the aid of wizards, clicking buttons and right clicking some options. But as I feared our enthusiasm didn’t last very long. As soon as we were done configuring we spend about double that time troubleshooting our configuration because it flawed some small, but crucial, things. Not to mention that it has some serious issues with third party LDAP browsers.
To compare the two free products would be difficult.
MyVD was small, uncomplicated but lacked many options. Penrose was bigger, mature, more complicated; it looked well documented and came with a really nice development tool, Penrose studio. But here we also have to add that this product is far from ready to be implemented in a system that has to be stable and secure. It does offer more options but it’s still not finished. We will see what happens in later releases.
New CAPTCHA technology already obsolete?
Discussing the latest CAPTCHA technology with a co-worker, I got the idea that CAPTCHA's are already an obsolete technology. It's successor ? Federation.
People still need to 'register' face-to-face with lots of potential identity providers. To name a few: a technician of the ISP needs to come to your home for installing an internet connection, you have to fill out some forms and hand over a copy of your identity card for opening a bank account and you have to present yourself to a clerk at city hall in order to receive an identity card. These forms of registration at Identity Providers don't require online forms, they require some sort of paper contract and a meeting in person. Some of them even hand out strong credentials in the process like tokens or smart cards.
I'm forseeing some troubles in achieving the following prerequisites but given ubiquitous trust in such identity providers and the privacy protection mechanisms enabled in federation protocol implementations, users will never have to fill out an online registration form again. Sites will no longer have to implement them or tinker with spam bot protection mechanisms, like CAPTCHA's, no more. We will have achieved the federation nirwana.

Children grow up in the blink of an eye but watching your child grow both emotionally as well as mentally, and not just physically makes you a proud parent. Cognitive development refers to the development of thinking, reasoning, problem-solving and creative skills. You need to understand that children do not soak up information like a sponge and developing cognitive skills requires some work. Don’t panic, we are not asking you a climb a mountain; we are simply asking you to indulge your child in a few fun activities.
A toddler needs to concentrate on a task to increase his attention span from the present capability of 5 to 15 minutes. If you help your toddler make imaginative use of his toys and play materials, he will be happy to spend more time playing with you, thus increasing his attention span.
Your toddler can sort and classify two to five items by size, colour, shape or class. He can classify by shape or by colour if you give him some big round beads and medium blocks of two to three colours.
Similarly, your toddler can build a tower of 3 to 5 graded blocks to learn about size.
He can learn about sequencing and ordering by placing side by side, three pictures to depict his daily routine sequence of activities such as waking up, eating lunch with family and going out to play. You may intervene as and when necessary.
Pretend play is a favorite pastime of all little children. For instance, if you give your toddler some interesting kitchen oriented play materials he will get an opportunity to focus and get engrossed in imaginative play for a long period of time, thus promoting his attention span and other mental skills.
A toddler has trouble with short and long-term memory retention. He needs to learn to store information gained from experiences and retrieve it to influence future action. It is therefore important to repeat and practice daily experiences, to facilitate storing and retrieval of information gained from them. You may prod his memory by oral cues whenever necessary.
Repeated listening to favourite stories will help your toddler to focus, retain and then retrieve information about the characters, sequence, and other aspects of the story.
Talking and answering questions soon after an event, such as a visit to the zoo will help jog his memory to retrieve information about the things he liked at the zoo.
Identifying three to four familiar objects, either by his touch and sight or by the sounds they make, will test your toddler’s memory. The objects can be bundled in a feely bag for a tactile experience, displayed one by one to recognise them by sight or identified by their sounds.
Thinking skills help a toddler to decide for instance, if he has completed a task or needs to ask for help to complete it. At other times he may have to find solutions to problems posed during his play, such as how to climb down from a high chair or what to do when he cannot find his favorite toy. Therefore you may get him started with simple tasks and experiments to promote a problem-solving attitude by nudging him to think for himself.
Ask your toddler to put for instance a piece of paper and a small object in a bowl of water. When you quiz him about the task he will explore and start asking his own questions. Well, you have set him thinking!
Or, display a big picture of a house and ask him to show you as many details as he can spot. This task helps him to combine attention, memory, and thinking to name or point out things he recognizes. He may need help in naming some items.
Do use your creativity and imagination, to make up more play activities for your toddler.
found ɑny interesting article like yours. It is prretty worth enough for me.
much more uѕeful than ever before.

Slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and arrange on a foil or parchment lined sheet pan, cut side up. Brush the cut sides with a tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place the pan under the broiler on a rack about 3 inches from the broiler, and broil until the tops are deep golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Move a rack to the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium sauté pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion with a pinch of salt until translucent and cooked through, but not browned. Add garlic and saute just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ground meat, sprinkle with cinnamon, more salt, and pepper, cooking and breaking up the meat into small pieces until it is juicy and browned.
Add half of the tomato sauce (we’re using the rest shortly), bring to a simmer, and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce takes on a meaty, flavorful taste. Taste and add more cinnamon, salt, and pepper if needed.
Arrange the eggplant halves in a large casserole or lasagna pan. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit lengthwise down the center of each half and push the eggplant from either end to open the slit slightly for the filling.
Spoon the cooked tomato meat sauce into the slits and mount on top of each eggplant half. Then, in the same saute pan, heat the remaining tomato sauce with ½ cup water and season lightly with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then spoon the sauce into the casserole around the eggplant.
Cover the casserole tightly with foil and bake for about 90 minutes. If you’re short on time, a shorter baking time is fine, but try to keep it in the oven for an hour. Toward the end of baking time, remove the foil and place the mozzarella pieces over each boat. Continue baking until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts, and serve after the eggplant rests for about 10 minutes.

The world watched in horror as coordinate attacks in Paris Friday night killed more than 130 people and left over 352 injured.
Over 20 attackers have so far been part of the terrorist cell that planned the deadly Paris attacks, with seven suicide bombers dead, seven attackers under arrest and a total of six people on the run.
Also Read: NO, We Can't Blame Edward Snowden and Encryption for Terror Attacks.
The attacks were carried out by Islamic State (ISIS), who later claimed responsibility for targeting innocent people at 'soft' locations that lack police or military protection, including Bataclan concert venue where at least 89 people lost their lives.
Following the bloody terror attacks, the hacktivist collective Anonymous declared war on the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) saying, "We will launch the biggest operation ever against you."
From Where did the terrorist cell that planned the brutal terrorist attacks in Paris get Fundings?
The Anti-terrorism group of ethical hackers, Ghost Security Group (GSG), said that ISIS regularly uses cryptocurrencies to fund its terrorist operations.
The anonymous member of GSG has uncovered several Bitcoin addresses that they said, might be used by ISIS. One of the accounts they analyzed was found to contain $3 Million in US dollars worth of Bitcoins.
Also Read: Anonymous Just Leaked list of 1000 ISIS Twitter Accounts.
"The Islamic State does use cryptocurrencies as a form of income to fund their ongoing operations, and we have managed to uncover several Bitcoin addresses used by them," a member of Ghost Security Group said in an interview with NewsBTC.
"We had discovered a BtC address linked to a known Islamic State deep website approximately three months ago and provided it to dw.com. They hired a team of blockchain analysts to trace the cryptocurrency to the estimated 3 million in BtC the discovered."
…it had uncovered several Bitcoin funding sites utilized by the ISIS on the dark web and successfully shut them down to limit the funding extremists receive through the use of cryptocurrencies.
At the recent G20 summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that ISIS is financed by individual businessmen from 40 countries, including some G20 members.
However, Putin hopes that the work with the G20 members in the fight against terrorism will continue. "I think that cooperation in fighting terrorism is very important," Putin told reporters.
Putin also calls out Obama for arming and training Fighters for ISIS, saying U.S.-trained rebels were leaving to join ISIS with weapons supplied by Washington.
“In my opinion, provision of military support to illegal structures runs counter to the principles of modern international law and the United Nations Charter,” Putin told reporters.

Any government, tyrannous or democratic, depends on tax to function. It is the price that citizens and businesses pay in return for services, infrastructure and law and order. In SA, taxation performs an arguably more vital function than in many other countries, as it funds social grants for more than 18-million citizens.
This is why Western Cape premier Helen Zille’s call for a tax revolt is morally dangerous — but also shrewd. She says her intention is to force the government to prosecute those guilty of state capture — "the corrupt and powerful" — and of stealing from the people.
Zille’s seed falls on very fertile ground. The ANC-led government, and the SA Revenue Service (Sars) in particular, have lost a lot of legitimacy because of the revelations around state capture. The national sense of betrayal has produced an angry mood — and the outrage and frustration have only grown, because police and prosecutors are taking so long to act on the extensive evidence.
In November 2018, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan assured an audience at Wits University that those guilty of crimes would soon be measured for their orange prison overalls. But there seems to be no such commitment from his colleagues in the justice cluster of ministries.
A decade ago, when the reputation of Sars was at its zenith, a politician urging a tax boycott would not have been taken seriously. But that has changed. Acting Sars commissioner Mark Kingon was quick to respond to Zille’s call. It would be "inadvisable and very unwise", he said, to call for a tax revolt. "It is advocating for taxpayers to commit criminal offences. I believe it would damage democracy."
Even DA spokesperson Mabine Seabe, whose party line Zille is supposed to toe, said tersely that "she has no authority to pronounce on policy". And party leader Mmusi Maimane rejected her call unequivocally.
Zille must know that a tax revolt on any significant scale is almost impossible. Most individuals pay tax as they earn, through monthly or weekly payroll deductions — so they do not have the power to withhold tax. And large companies already employ all the tricks in the book to pay as little tax as possible.
But to turn lawful avoidance into deliberate evasion by nonpayment would be criminal. It is hard to imagine any CEO getting a board to condone such behaviour. And anyway, even if a tax boycott gained traction, Sars could always go into bank accounts and seize what is owed to it.
So what was Zille thinking? She knows that boycotts have been powerful political weapons in SA. In the 1980s, they were used to fatally undermine apartheid structures. People were encouraged to withhold rent and electricity payments — and the legacy of that remains to this day, a rock chained to Eskom’s neck. When the state was widely seen as illegitimate, it was respectable to undermine it. For many, the state has again been rendered illegitimate — this time not because it is undemocratic, but because of corruption.
Zille’s call may be dismissed as treasonous or mischievous. It is certainly impractical — and even if it were not, it would undermine the government she herself runs in the Western Cape.
Though it was a disingenuous move on her part, surely her real intention was to emphasise the extent to which corruption has disgraced the ANC and neutralised its electoral legitimacy.
Her idea of a tax boycott has been, rightfully, quickly dismissed. But the question she asks lingers, and remains unanswered: why is nobody being prosecuted and sent to jail?

Why Dr. Bloxham is recommended.
Dr. Blake Bloxham (who many on our hair restoration forum are used to calling Blake or "Future-HT-Doc") used to work for this community as an editorial assistant and forum co-moderator and possesses a long history of providing insightful, supportive and educational posts on our hair restoration forum and our Hair Loss Q&A Blog. But his real passion always lied in becoming a top notch hair transplant surgeon and being recommended on the Hair Transplant Network. He now works side by side with Coalition member Dr. Alan Feller and has almost 3 years of experience performing exclusive hair transplant surgery, including his residency.
Dr. Bloxham's hair transplant philosophy and technique mirrors Dr. Alan Feller's, who has a long, proven track record of providing realistic, state of the art hair transplant surgery exclusively at his clinic.
Dr. Bloxham performs surgery on only one or two patients per day and has the skill and staff to perform large, densely packed sessions of ultra refined follicular unit hair transplant surgery exceeding 3000 grafts when appropriate for the patient. Dr. Blake Bloxham performs exclusive hair transplant surgery including FUT, FUE and a hybrid FUE procedure referred to as mFUE (a procedure that minimizes both transection and scarring). He also performs repair procedures including scar reduction surgery.
Dr. Bloxham uses all the latest techniques and does all the initial consultations himself and typically operates on only 1 or 2 patients per day. Dr. Bloxham has quickly garnered Dr. Feller's respect and approval and members of our hair restoration forum community have provided overwhelmingly positive feedback on Dr. Bloxham's posts featuring his results.
When Dr. Bloxham was an editorial assistant and forum co-moderator, he believed everybody was a candidate for follicular unit excision (formerly known as follicular unit extraction) (FUE) and that this would be his future. But practically speaking now that he's seen and performed a number of FUE procedures, his view is much more modest. Dr. Bloxham still believes that everyone should be performing FUE in conjunction with FUT/strip. But he no longer feels that everyone is a candidate for FUE.
Dr. Blake Bloxham possesses a bachelor's of science in biology and pre-medical studies from the University of California and went to medical school at Andrew Taylor Still University. His post-graduate training was performed at Geisinger Medical Center.
Dr. Bloxham is a member of The ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery), the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and is a member of the Sigma Phi medical honors society. He performed his fellowship at and is now a Partner and the Medical/Surgical director of hair transplant surgery at Feller & Bloxham Medical.

I've discussed the importance of the "frontal band" procedure in a few videos before, but I wanted to share a case where I feel it really was the "right move" for a patient.
This patient originally contacted me about putting "a few hundred" grafts via FUE into his hairline. I examined photos he attached and disagreed with the approach. While this may have been a viable option for an older guy with stable and minimal recession, doing these little "fill" procedures in younger guys with unstable frontal zones and future loss isn't usually the best move.
So I advised him to instead consider building a solid foundation with a larger, dense pack, "frontal band" FUT procedure. He thought it over and decided to go with the plan.
I designed a new hairline -- that will look as natural in his 60s and 70s as it will in his 30s -- and outlined the frontal band region behind it. I then densely filled the area with 2,000 grafts via the FUT technique.
8 months later, the patient contacted me thrilled with the results! He was very pleased we went with the more strategic and "long term" plan, and sent in the following photographs.
Please see the video (which contains more pictures, explanations, and an immediate post-op video) and comparison pictures below. I've also attached the 8 month shots sent in by the patient (in case anyone wants to look at it blown up). All "after" images are sent in by the patient and have been left completely unaltered.
We have the privilege of working on a lot of patients from the U.K. And while it is tough for them to get back into the clinic for follow-up, they are usually great with sending in picture "updates" as their results mature.
This U.K. patient with advanced hair loss (essentially a diffuse NW VI) came to our clinic for one of our "As Much As Possible" or "AMAP" FUT megasession procedures. We discussed his goals and decided to rebuild a frontal hairline (leaving his current parietal fringe/temporal recession for now) and fill as much thinning scalp behind the hairline as possible.
I was able to extract nearly 4,000 grafts via the FUT technique, and used them to knock out a lot of his hair loss.
8 month later he excitedly sent me the following "selfies" to show his progress and express how pleased he was with the transformation! And I was as well!
Truly a great guy, and I'm very pleased to have helped him out.
Each image he sent (3) is shared here untouched. He's going to have someone else take photos at 12 months, so I'll update with more of the "cardinal angles" (IE a top down) at that time. The full after images are also attached below so they can be expanded and reviewed.
This is a young patient who came to us to treat his aggressive hair loss. Dr Feller and Dr Bloxham decided a large FUT surgery was the most appropriate for him because of his age and where he needed the transplants done.
His surgery with Dr Bloxham went smoothly, and 6 months later he came back to the clinic for a check-up and the doctors were very happy with how he looked. So they took videos and pictures, and wanted to share them here.
Dr. Feller asked me to upload this case. It's a 3,200 graft transplant performed by Dr. Bloxham at Feller & Bloxham Medical. The patient is a "diffuse thinner." And he is only 6 months post-op in the pictures. He stopped by unexpectedly the other day because he was in the area for business. The doctors thought he looked great and wanted to share.
Last week, I discussed the importance of individual planning when it comes to hairline transplantation. I touched upon how things like a patients age, likely progression of hair loss, adherence to preventive medications, and current level of hair loss all come into play.
I then shared a case where I performed a 2,200 graft hairline (and frontal scalp) transplant on a young patient with a fairly significant amount of loss in the front, a hesitation towards certain medications, and a fairly high likelihood of future loss. In that patient, I took all of this into consideration and designed a more conservative, feathered hairline plan that would serve him well in the long-term and put us in a good position for future surgery. I'll put a link up at the end.
So today I wanted to share another hairline case that again utilized an individual and unique approach, but is very much the opposite of the first patient. Based on this patient's age, family history/physical exam, adherence to medications (which he was on long before surgery), and facial shape/hair type, I designed a more aggressive approach. I utilized around the same number of grafts -- 2,000 -- and did a dense pack hairline rebuild.
Below are images sent in by the patient (and left completely untouched) at the 12 month mark. They are included with some "befores" and intra-operative shots for comparison.
This can be compared with the other case to show how hairline transplantation must be individualized. No two patients are the same and there is no "one size fits all" approach. Many factors must be taken into account, but it usually results in happy patients if everything is closely analyzed and a well-strategized plan is executed.
Crowns can be tricky. There is a reason why they are often referred to as the "black hole of grafts" online. The large surface area requiring coverage and the twists and turns of the "whorl" pattern call for a lot of grafts. On top of this, they notoriously thin in a circular spreading pattern that is tough to keep up with.
However, they are also very often a crucial area for hair transplant patients. Although I do believe the frontal/midscalp regions are more cosmetically significant, many patients don't feel like their transformation is "complete" without crown work; or they can't stand thinking that they still have a "bald spot like my father/grandfather" back there.
So crown HTs are important. They must be planned thoroughly and lifetime grafts must always be kept in mind, but important nonetheless.
The patient in this video is a good example of what crown patients should expect. He underwent 3,300 grafts total over two passes (the first to address the upper crown, and the second to address the whorl pattern and the lower crown after he had further receded) and now has a very full and natural crown.
Here is his "comb-through" video. Tried to be as transparent and thorough as I could here, because expectations are important!
Wanted to share a different type of case today. And one that I think the community with find interesting.
The patient in the video -- Bob -- had a series of "old school" "hair plugs" done at a clinic in the late 80s/early 90s. Like many of these plug patients, he continued to aggressively lose hair and ended up with an unnatural island of plugs on the top of his scalp.
He visited several clinics over the years and was basically told his donor was too damaged (he stuck with it and had more plug sessions than the average patient) and he was out of options. He came to see us not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised when we thought he could be repaired.
So I removed as much tissue as safely possible via the FUT technique from the donor and ended up with 1,500 grafts. Although there was a lot of areas requiring attention, I decided on naturalizing the hairline and filling the alleys that had opened up on the sides. It was a very challenging case all around, and I was eager and anxious to see how he progressed!
He came back 8 months later and was a new man! He was very happy and actually asked to do a YouTube video with us to try and reach others who may be in the same situation.
Give the video a watch. It goes through the case and also gives a little background about "plugs" and how we deal with these cases.
Hope you enjoy! And let's all be grateful that we've moved beyond the "hair plug" days!
Patients are unique. Each has a different level of hair loss, a slightly different hair loss pattern, a different likelihood of future loss, different hair type, and a unique head shape.
Therefore, each patient requires a unique transplant plan. Especially in the hairline region. There is no "one size fits all" approach, and what works great for one patient may not be the right approach for another.
The patient is a gentleman in his 20s who was embarking on a new phase in his career. And, understandably so, he wanted to get his hair fixed before starting his new gig. He suffered from frontal (including hairline) and slight mid-scalp hair loss. He previously covered it up with a forward "comb over" and even dyed it blonde (on the advice of a hair stylist) to try and camouflage the loss (and you'll notice this in the "before" pictures).
I saw him for a consultation and we agreed that hair transplantation was likely his best option in this instance. But based on his age, head shape, views on preventive medications, hair type, and family history, I explained that he should seek a more conservative and feathered approach in the hairline. This would allow for a full but also soft and natural frontal transition, and also look natural if he thinned behind where we worked. We also made donor management a priority, and ensured he had plenty "left in the bank" for future procedures.
I ended up doing a 2,200 grafts transplant. He returned a little over 11 months later, and the plan worked!
One of my favorite "Feller-isms" -- and there are many to chose from -- is the phrase: "like getting blood from a stone." For those unfamiliar with this saying, it basically refers to the idea of trying to get "something from nothing" or extracting from a tough source that does not want to give. Like trying to get blood or water from a stone!
In the hair transplant field, it refers to the challenge of obtaining a good quantity of quality grafts from a stubborn or barren donor. And unfortunately, it often happens in patients with a large demand (bald area) and this poor donor supply.
And that's precisely the situation this patient found himself in. He's a man in his mid-50s with a NW VI hair loss pattern. At first glance, his donor looked pretty good; something that could sustain a large session to tackle his aggressive pattern.
On closer inspection, however, his density was well below average as was his laxity. Sometimes these patients are good candidates for an FUE approach, but he came to us seeking an FUT megasession and I also didn't think he was the best FUE candidate all around.
So I decided to steal out as much as I could via FUT. I explained the difficultly of the donor to him, and warned him that graft number would not be great. He was hoping for one of the big 4,000+ graft cases, but I told him he would likely be less than 2,000. I also told him the key in these "blood from a stone" cases is strategy. When used properly to maximize the cosmetic benefit, a small graft number can go a long way.
I was able to obtain 1,800 grafts (with a large strip that would normally provide me with 3,500 or 4,000 in a better density patient); I used these to reestablish his hairline, densely fill the frontal band, and taper the density in the mid-scalp.
He returned 10 months later, and was very pleased with the result! Huge benefit from a smaller graft number.
Recently, “temple point” hair transplants have been discussed heavily on the forums. This isn’t a new topic, but it is usually a somewhat passionate and opinioned one. I’ve always had my own thoughts on the issue of restoring the temple points or “temporal triangles,” but didn’t participate in the recent discussions.
At the same time, I had a patient send me an update of his own 7 month temple point hair transplant results, and thought it would be an interesting opportunity to share the case and discuss the issue a bit.
The patient is a man in his 40s who underwent a number of hair transplant procedures at other clinics in the past. These were focused on the frontal-third and mid-scalp, and they worked well. But despite the coverage on the top, he continued receding and ended up thinning in the temple regions. And although he was covered well with the transplants, he wanted a more youthful framing to his face and didn’t feel like his transplant journey was “complete” without more defined temples.
patient is a male with fairly classic thinning in the hairline/frontal band and "fronto-temporal corners" regions.
Based upon his hair type, pattern and likely progression, I agreed with his request for a strong, defined hairline, a thick rebuild of the frontal band region, and some "corner closure" -- not something I do on everyone.
Presented are the 7 month results of his surgery. While I shared a few key images here, I highly recommend watching the video. The video contains more pre-op, immediate post-op, and "after" images, and it also includes dry hair video and wet comb-through video. The wet comb-through is my favorite because if a hair transplant looks good wet and slicked back, it will look dense and full with pretty much any style.
"What happens when the other hair falls out?"
"What will the transplants look like when the native hair falls out?"
These are two very common questions I'm asked by diffusely thinning or patterned diffusely thinning patients during consultations. What they want to know is what the results of their transplant will look like after the supporting, native hair we work though eventually thins and falls out.
And I tell patients that because modern techniques allow us to carefully work through instead of completely going around these native hairs, the transplants will stand on their own after you lose the hair around the transplants.
This patient is a very diffuse thinner with NW VI potential. I did a 3,200 graft FUT procedure on his frontal and mid-scalp in 2015 and carefully worked through his native hair at the time. He was worried that it would look thin when these hairs fell out, and I assured him the transplants would stand on their own.
We know people are busy; we also know people like to view hair transplant results. To try and help, we started a video series called "Quick Vids." And it is exactly what it sounds like: a quick run through of a hair transplant result, only requiring a minute or less of your finite time.
Is Topical Finasteride as Effective as Propecia Tablets for Hair Loss?
The biggest complaints I�ve heard from people on topical anti-androgens (RU and finasteride) is that those who switched from oral to topical to avoid side effects still experienced systemic side effects.
I've recently had several people reach out concerned with their 6 month hair transplant "results." Despite a lot of information online reassuring patients that 6 months truly is the half-way point as far as maturation goes, there does seem to be this underlying idea that if it doesn't look good at 6 months, you're in trouble.
Can I Have a Hair Transplant without Taking Propecia (Finasteride)?
Yes. The patient must understand that his hair loss is progressive and that he may want more in the future.
The following follicular unit hair transplant strip surgery was performed by recommended hair restoration physician, Dr. Blake Bloxham.
Is It Safe to Massage Strip Hair Transplant Donor Site Two Weeks after Surgery?
I don�t think it will do much of anything to the scar in the long-term � improve or worsen it. I personally don�t like patients touching too much in the post-op because I think it causes more irritation/inflammation in the area.
Can Taking Hair Los Drug Propecia (Finasteride) Worsen My Seborrheic Dermatitis?
Various studies have examined the function of the follicle�s sebaceous gland and how it changes with androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss).
Can Sleep Apnea Affect Hair Transplant Results?
I�ve done hair transplant surgery on many patients suffering from sleep apnea. I don�t think there is any connection between sleep apnea and hair loss or the success rate of hair transplantation.
Does Hair Always Shed after Hair Transplant Surgery?
There is a very small sub-sect of patients (somewhere in the 2% range) who do not shed or experience a post-op telogen (follicular sleeping) phase after hair restoration surgery.
How Does Coarse Donor Hair Impact Hair Transplant Results?
It�s common to see lower donor densities in individuals with �coarse� hairs. This is because coarse hairs usually means larger, heartier follicles.

WINDHAM — When Cheverus High scored the first touchdown to take a 6-0 lead in the third quarter, Windham Coach Matt Perkins knew his team had to change its approach.
The running game was shelved, and Windham went to the air.
Quarterback Tanner Bernier threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to rally fourth-seeded Windham to a 12-6 victory Friday in a Class A North quarterfinal. Bernier’s 15-yard pass to Hunter Coffin with 58 seconds left was the winner.
The Eagles (5-4) advance to the semifinals next Friday against No. 1 Edward Little (7-1), which beat Windham 21-13 during the regular season.
No. 5 Cheverus is done at 3-6. The Stags began the year with a 24-0 loss at Windham but put up a better battle in the rematch.
The first half was scoreless, with neither team getting past the other’s 30.
On the first series of the second half, Cheverus got the game’s first big break. Windham attempted to punt, but a low snap forced Coffin, the punter, to scramble, and Teigan Lindstedt tackled him at the Windham 25.
The Stags did not score, but Vic Morrone’s punt pinned the Eagles back. After a short Windham punt, Cheverus needed to go just 19 yards for a touchdown, as Lindstedt’s 9-yard run with 5:52 left in the third quarter made 6-0. The Stags went for the 2-point conversion, but Windham recorded a sack.
Cheverus’ workhorse back, Max Coffin, was out because of a torn ACL. Lindstedt filled in and rushed for 75 yards.
Windham was having trouble running the ball, so Perkins changed tactics.
But Bernier completed 13 of 31 passes for 183 yards.
The Eagles drove 60 yards, fueled by two Cheverus penalties, for the tying touchdown. Bernier threw to Treva Valliere, who slipped a tackle and scored from 13 yards out with 11:27 left. Windham missed the extra-point kick, keeping the score tied.
Cheverus thought it had scored the go-ahead touchdown when quarterback Perrin Conant passed over the middle to Morrone, who sprinted to the end zone for an apparent 60-yard TD. But an ineligible receiver penalty nullified the score.
Windham started its last drive on the Cheverus 31 after a short punt. Bernier eventually connected with Coffin.
Cheverus then reached the Windham 42 but fumbled with 30 seconds left.

I've always loved flying. I just don't like airports. But I'll even put up with dancing barefoot through some kind of fancy detectors and setting alarms off to find those long lost coins in my forgotten pockets for a view like this.
I was lucky enough to fly over El Salvador in Central America, along with a few other countries. Can't really tell where one country starts and another one ends from the air. I like that. Makes me feel like the world really is one place and not a jigsaw puzzle of pieces that man has divided for himself.
El Salvador is gorgeous and green. She also has over 20 volcanoes in her wardrobe. Mother Nature seems to have a few tantrums every so often with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes here. From the air, she is stunningly arrayed in ephemeral shades, and touched with the softest white pearl clouds I have ever seen. She has called to place deep within me.
I left my nose print on the plane window. She knows I'll be back to taste more of her hidden secrets and beautiful dangers.
Nice shot from the plan. Next time I return I wil try that as well.
Hi Falcon -- nice to see you here. I used F/13 1/400 ISO 200. Its a beautiful area and worth a whole trip in itself.

Can you recommend any tablets, smartphones or computers that are specifically designed for seniors? I would like to buy a device for my technology-challenged grandmother so she can get online and keep up with her grandkids better, but it needs to be super simplified so she can use it.
There are actually several new tech products on the market today that are designed specifically for older boomers and seniors that are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with technology.
These devices come equipped with simplified software, big, vivid features, less clutter and better customer support packages, which makes them more appealing and much easier to use than mainstream devices. Here are several top senior-friendly options to look into.
If you're thinking about a smartphone for your grandmother, check out the new GreatCall Touch3. Made by Samsung, this Android smartphone has a 4-inch touchscreen with an organized large icon menu list on the home screen that provides users simple access to often-used features like the phone, text messages, camera, pictures, email and Internet, along with your contacts and apps.
It also has a 5-megapixel camera, a full-size onscreen keyboard, and offers a variety of health and safety features like the 5Star app that lets you immediately speak to a certified agent 24/7 who can identify your location and get you the help you need. Urgent Care, which provides access to registered nurses and doctors for advice and diagnoses. And MedCoach, which sends medication reminders.
Available at greatcall.com or 800-918-8543, the Touch3 sells for $170 with a $20 introductory discount, plus a one-time activation fee of $35, and no-contract is required. Monthly service plans that include unlimited 5Star and Urgent Care service start at $25. And their data plans start at $2.50 per month for 20MB.
If you're considering a tablet, a top senior-friendly option is AARP's new RealPad, which costs $189 at aarprealpad.org, walmart.com/realpad or Walmart stores.
Produced in partnership with Intel, the RealPad is an Android tablet with a 7.85-inch touchscreen. It provides a clutter-free simplified home page with large text icons to frequently used functions like email, social networks, weather, news, games, camera and pictures, Google, the Web, apps and more.
It also has a 2-megapixel front camera and 5-megapixel rear camera, and comes with 24/7 phone support, a bunch of tutorial videos, and a "Real QuickFix" tool that connects users to technology support agents over the Internet who can access the tablet and fix problems.
If you think your grandmother would like a desktop computer, the Telikin, which has been around for three years now, is an excellent choice.
Ready to go right out of the box, this all-in-one touch-screen computer displays a big button menu on the screen at all times, providing simple access to most functions like the Internet, email, games, video chat, photo sharing, news and weather, and more.
Available in two sizes - the 18.6-inch "Telikin Touch" that costs $699, and the 22-inch "Telikin Elite II" for $1,079 - these computers come with built-in speakers, a Web camera, microphone, wired keyboard and mouse. They also offer a "tech buddy" feature so you can access your grandma's Telikin computer remotely from your computer to help her when she needs it.
It's also worth noting that Telikin has a partnership with firstSTREET - a senior product direct marketing company - that is also selling the 22-inch Telikin for $1,079, but have rebranded it as the "WOW! Computer for Seniors."

America UK Relationship: Why must we be like America?
Posted bycalhoun August 13, 2011 August 14, 2011 Leave a comment on America UK Relationship: Why must we be like America?
That ‘Special Relationship’ is back this time backed by David Cameron.
Politicians always refer to the United Kingdom’s alliance with the United States, which the population mostly views as a master and slave relationship is back on the tables.
Having a look at the track record of the United States do we really want to be emulating their ways?
With the riots of the last week, can you imagine how scary it would be if on every corner there was a “god given right to own a gun”?
Police have arrested literally hundreds of people how many could they have arrested if they were all armed? How deadly would the conflicts be?
We seriously need to take a step back and consider is the relationship with the United States government really what we want?
Due to the prime ministers incapability to think for him self, he is on the brink of signing up an American to take over the operation of the metropolitan police force. If the prime minister is not capable of dealing with the situations he is to face as prime minister, perhaps it is time for him to resign and make way for new fresh leadership. How confident are you in the prime minister? There is a open petition for a call of a vote of no confidence in his leadership. Perhaps you should consider signing it.
The plans of putting an American “supercop” at the head of one of the oldest police departments is ludicrous and reforms of the service going through the parliament may put a block on the idea. Having never worked in the British police he lacks the requirements for the job as well.
Having reviewed his suggestions, putting him in the position would be dangerous as he’d want to arm the entire police force and use deadly force in excess. He wants people to fear the police – well in the case of US police that certainly would be the case – having seen how they act I am definitely more afraid of the US Police than the US Gangsters!

Their gracious bar hosts, Lynette Schultz and Dominic poured their favorite wines into glasses, going off the normal tasting chart. Lynette, who is the new manager for 2Plank Vineyards even has a talent for guessing what your favorite kind of wine is and mysteriously has that bottle in hand ready to pour.
As the Angels painted, Dominic walked through the room taking orders, to the delight of the group. And they thought the sipping was over.
Janet Dunn was once again, the art instructor. Her talent for teaching “us rookies” is amazing and said her younger students are much more critical than us older students. Her helper this year was Barbara Meech who walked around the room handing out extra paper towels, freshening water, throwing out helpful painting suggestions and squirting more paint on to our color palettes.
A poster on the wall had a saying: “Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them. So go out and start creating!” How’s that not make Friday the 13th a very lucky evening for all of us who gathered for Wine Sips & Brush Strokes.

Athlete’s foot is a fungus that is easily transmitted among unwary travelers. By following some simple advice, you can make sure you don’t contaminate your feet in your hotel room or the barefoot extravaganza known as the airport security checkpoint.
Athlete’s foot is the most common fungal infection of the feet. Every day, podiatrists see people with feet that are burning, itching and peeling. Although many different species of fungus and yeast can cause the problem, the ways that you as a traveler can prevent it are simple and effective.
The fungus that cause athlete’s foot thrives in places that are dark, warm and moist. Shoes are the perfect habitat for fungus. Unfortunately for business travelers and vacationers, there are many places in airports, hotels and vacation spots that are covered in fungus just waiting to infect your feet.
Whenever living foot fungus or fungal spores (which are basically seeds for fungus waiting to sprout) stick to bare skin or enter through tiny little openings in the skin, it can take hold and start to grow. As the fungus grows, it pulls water from the surrounding skin.
This causes peeling and itching of the skin as the fungus does damage and causes delamination or peeling away of the skin’s outer layers. Frequently the infection starts in the moist area between the toes of on the bottom of the foot.
Foot doctors often describe a “moccasin distribution” pattern with athlete’s foot infections. This means that the areas of the feet that turn red and start peeling are usually those that would be in contact with moccasins. The tops of the feet and ankle don’t usually become involved.
Fortunately for you, the most effective prevention measures are also very easy… don’t step in the fungus! When you are traveling, you just have to know where not to step.
You have to make sure to guard your shoes against fungus. The shoes need to be a safe haven for your feet. Any time you get live fungus or fungal spores in your shoes, you run the risk of getting fungal toenails or an athlete’s foot infection.
No matter what you do, when you travel, your feet will prespire. A hurried stressful pace in airport terminals, trying to make that connection while toting a laptop and carry-on bag will make you (and your feet) sweat like crazy.
Since fungus needs moisture to live, you want to do anything you can to reduce the moisture in your shoes. A good place to begin is with well ventilated shoes that breathe while you are on your trip. Shoes that have breathable mesh uppers made of nylon, mesh, or cotton breathe fairly well and let the moisture escape. Leather, plastic and rubber tend to hold the fungus in your shoes encouraging fungus to grow.
Make sure you rotate your shoes during your trip. Have at least two pairs of shoes so you can wear them on alternate days. This will allow them enough time to fully dry out before you wear them again.
If you are very active or if your feet sweat a lot, try changing your socks half way through the day. This is one of the easiest ways to keep your feet dry and fungus free. Wear synthetic socks and avoid cotton to keep moisture away from your feet. There are also newer socks available that have copper fibers woven into them. Copper seams to decrease the likelihood that fungus will take hold in the sock material.
Because even the most relaxing vacations involve lots of walking through airports, hotels and site-seeing, choose comfortable walking shoes for your trip. Many vacationers opt for sandals or flip flips when on vacation, however these can lead to friction blisters that let the fungus in and start the infection.
Make sure you avoid the fungus hotspots. The carpet you feel under your sock-clad feet while waiting to get through security is a haven for athlete’s foot-causing fungus. All day and night, sweaty feet emerge from their shoes and shuffle along the carpet. Everyone steps and stands in this continual stream of perspiring feet and shedding foot fungus. As you trudge through the line, your sweaty socks pick up fungal spores. Then you put your feet back in your shoes that act as incubators to start your own little foot fungus farm.
Unfortunately most airport security checkpoints now require that every pair of shoes goes through the xray machine. But this doesn’t mean you can’t protect your feet. One simple solution is to wear an old worn out pair of socks to the airport. Carry a clean pair in your pocket. Take of your shoes, and go through security wearing your old worn out socks. After you get through the checkpoint, take off the old socks and put on the clean ones before you put your shoes back on. Throw the old socks away. Now you can start your vacation fungus-free!
The next place to avoid is the hotel carpet and bathroom. You never know how clean those places are, regardless of how expensive the hotel is. Just because it costs as much as a hospital room, doesn’t mean it is just as clean. If you wear socks in the hotel room, just don’t put your shoes on until you change socks.
Make sure you also step on the terry cloth mat when you step out of the shower. If possible, get a clean mat with clean towels every day. If you go down to the sauna in the athletic facility, make sure you wear shower shoes. All of the heat and moisture creates the ideal fungal environment. Fungus can also grow on the tile around the pool and hot tub, but the chlorine in the water actually helps keep it from being as big of a problem.
If your trip takes you to someplace where you can head to the beach, make sure you wear sandals to protect your feet. Don’t forget that any tiny little cuts or abrasions are the best way for fungus to get in and start an athlete’s foot infection.
Now that you understand the basics about foot fungus and where it tends to thrive, you can easily side-step it. Between the airlines and security, travel has enough aggravation. You certainly don’t need anything else getting under your skin.

In 1980, players from the Eastern bloc were all the rage in England. Manchester City had Denya, Southampton had Golac, Manchester United had Jovanovic. Canaries manager John Bond attempted to emulate these purchases but he got his fingers burned. Spending a then club record fee of £300,000 (which stood for seven years) for Yugoslav international Drazen Muzinic in September 1980, Bond was faced with two problems - where to play him and how to communicate with him. Neither of which were solved by Bond nor his successor Ken Brown who canceled Drazen's contract in July 1982. In nearly two years, Muzinic played 23 times for the Canaries, six times as substitute. In Yugoslavia, Drazen had helped Hadjuk Split to four league titles and five cups, gaining international recognition on 36 occasions. In England, Muzinic appeared to lack skill on the playing field. As Bond had not seen Muzinic play, Justin Fashanu quipped "I don't think we got Muzinic, I reckon they sent his milkman"
Muzinic is currently working as a scout for Hadjuk Split.

While it's expected to receive information from your doctor on your procedure, you may feel better if you learn all you can about it. It's important to be sure you don't subconsciously try to seek out negative information. Instead, focus on learning about all aspects of the procedure through educational literature and medical websites.
Rather than simply listening to what your doctor has to say and then going home and worrying, you should tell your doctor about any worries or concerns you have. Your doctor knows best about your procedure, the status of your health and what you can expect. This makes them your best source for getting correct information to set your mind at ease.
While you don't want to go on forums where people go to talk about botched surgeries or other troubles, you may want to talk to others who've had the surgery you're going to have. Talk with those who've had both positive and negative results. This way, you can get a realistic view of the healing time you're looking at and get advice on other aspects of getting through the recovery in an easier manner. Knowing you are armed with all this information will actually help you feel more prepared and lessen your anxiety.
You want to have a support system available to you. This should be someone you can voice your fears to who will listen patiently and provide you with the reassurance you need. If you don't have someone in your life you feel will help you ease your fears over going into surgery, then you should consider going to a therapist. They can help you become better emotionally prepared for having your surgery done.
Following the steps above will help you feel better about your surgery. There's no reason you should endure unnecessary stress in an already stressful situation.

"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting [olam/eonian] life, and some to shame and everlasting [olam/eonian] contempt" (Dan. 12:2).
There was nothing in the Law of Moses that suggested anything, good or bad, after death or in death. Death was the consummation of both the sinner and the saint. It is clear that Job, Daniel, Moses, and possibly David had some knowledge of the resurrection of the dead. It was not, however, taught anywhere in the Law of Moses. To Israel under Moses, death was the final chapter.

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall SURELY DIE" (Gen. 2:17).
"In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground [not be turned into a terrorists hellhole of endless torture in some pagan hell]: for out of it [the ground] were you taken; for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return" (Gen. 3:19).
Death began immediately. Notice a better translation of Gen. 2:17: "…to die shall you BE DYING" (Concordant Old Testament).
Their life was but a slow death until they returned to the dust of the ground. God said that their judgment for sinning was to be RETURNED to the ground from whence they came. They didn’t come from some terrorists hellhole of torture in fire, so how could they "return" to such a place when God plainly stated that they would "RETURN unto the ground?" They came from the earth and they returned to that earth.
God cursed the serpent, and God cursed the ground, but nowhere did God curse Adam and Eve. God pointed out the different judgments against Adam and Eve, such as multiplied childbearing pains, sorrow in gathering food all the days of his life, thorns, thistles, and sweat, but no mention of punishment in death or after death.
If Adam and Eve were to have a far greater punishment (trillions and trillions of times greater) at death or in death or after death, why did not God warn them of such an horrible destiny? Why would God tell them one thing and then pull a trick on them and do something totally different when the time came?
"When I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die [hey, isn’t that exactly what God did say to Adam?] and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand" (Ezek. 3:18).
Are we to believe that God held Ezekiel to a higher standard of morality than God holds for HIMSELF?
God told Ezekiel that He would require Ezekiel’s blood if he did not warn the wicked so they could be saved from death. Do we then turn around and accuse God of a lower standard in which God Himself has utterly failed to warn the human race of a destiny that is trillions of times worse than mere death? God would hold Ezekiel responsible for the death of just one wicked person, whereas God Himself feels no responsibility for failing to warn the entire human race of a fate trillions of times more severe?
"But unto Cain and to his offering He [God] had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the Lord said unto Cain, Why are you wroth? And why is your countenance fallen? If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not well, SIN lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him" (Gen. 4:5-7).
God warned Cain that if he did not do well, that sin would be at his door. But did God say "endless torment and punishment would be at his door?" No.
"And Cain talked with Abel, his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries unto Me from the ground.
And now are you cursed from the earth which has opened her mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand: When you till the ground it shall not henceforth yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall you be in the earth" (Verses 8-12).
Did God threaten Cain with "endless punishment in some subterranean hellhole of torture in fire?" No. But notice Cain’s reply?
"And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, you have driven me out this day from the face of the earth, and from Your face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth: and it shall come to pass, that every one [any one] that finds me shall slay me" (Verse 13-14).
What? My punishment is greater than I can bear? If Cain thought being a fugitive and vagabond and having poor crops was greater than he could bear, what pray tell would he have thought had God told him that he would be punished for all eternity in some hellish pit of fire? Did God fail to tell Cain about the "endless torture" because He was afraid it would be too much for Cain to psychologically handle? Did God fail to inform Cain of his coming endless punishment because He was afraid it might discourage him, or some other unfathomable fiendish foolishness?
Search all we may, we won’t find this pagan doctrine of Christendom in the Scriptures. But hold on there’s more. We are not finished with this account of Cain yet.
"And the Lord said unto him, Therefore, whosoever slays Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him" (Verse 15).
Let’s all use our brains together on this one: Cain is a murderer. It doesn’t get much worse than that. Not only a murderer, but, a murderer of his OWN BROTHER. But God tells us that if someone should find and slay Cain the murderer, then that person would have vengeance taken on him seven times greater? SEVEN TIMES GREATER than burning in some fabled hell for all eternity? Seven times greater than that? Are they kidding? Are they out of their cotton-pickin’ minds? Can any human mind conceive of a punishment seven times GREATERthan being tortured in fire for all eternity?
Here then would be the orthodox logic of this whole scenario: Kill your brother, and receive a certain punishment: but kill the murderer of his brother, and receive "seven TIMES greater" punishment. Can we all say: Contradiction, Square Circles, Theological Insanity?
Cain died, just as his parents (Adam and Eve) died. But there is no punishment in death. Cain’s "punishment" was here on this earth while Cain was still alive, not after. And likewise, anyone who found and killed Cain would have punishment on this earth while they were still alive, "seven times greater," than that of Cain.
"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually… And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall DIE"
All mankind are said to be only evil continually. That’s a lot of evil. And what does God say their punishment for all this evil will be? They shall die. Punished endlessly? No, they "shall die." Do we think that God lied to the whole world? Do we think that God said, "shall die," but secretly meant: "punished endlessly?" Ask your pastor if he has an answer to this Christian enigma?
"All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, DIED" (Gen. 7:22).
Why doesn’t even one of these verses tell us that this wicked people will be judged in death and then sentenced to an eternity of torture in real fire? Why? Why wouldn’t God give us at least one verse somewhere? He could have said something like this: "Be it known to all sinners that whosoever repenteth not of his sins and dies, shall be sentenced to punishment in fire so hot as to burn brass, and he shall never ever be set free, and his pain and suffering shall never come to an end, no not ever, saith the Lord."
There are thousands and thousands and thousands of words in the Old Testament Scriptures, so why isn’t there one word warning us that unrepentant wicked people will be sentenced to an eternity of torture in real fire? Why? The books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy have 186 combined chapters. So why couldn’t at least one of these 186 chapters contain at least one verse which warns of the horrible eternal torture for most of the human race? Why? Prov. 6:6 admonishes, "Go to the ANT you sluggard, consider her ways and be wise." Does any serious-mined human on this planet believe that it is more important to know the work habits of ants (many so tiny one needs to get on his knees with a magnifying glass to even see one), than to know the eternal destiny of billions and billions of human beings?
Does anyone hear what I am saying? Does anyone truly see what the Scriptures quoted here say? Does anyone see "eternal punishment" in even one of them? Yet the Christian Church assures us that this punishment is there even if it is not seen and not stated.
Not one verse. Not one word. Not one mention in the entirety of the Old Testament Scriptures regarding endless punishment. How much longer are you going to sit and listen to the septic-tank swill about a Loving God Who is going to torture most people’s teenagers, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers, great grandmothers and great grandfathers, in an eternal hellhole of literal fire, without mercy, forever? Have you no conscience? Have you no love? Have you no respect or fear for your Creator God at all, that you can attribute such gross sins and immorality to your own Loving Heavenly Father?
"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything" (Ecc. 9:5).
"…shall AWAKE… to shame [reproach] and [for] eonian contempt [repulsion, abhorrence]" (Daniel. 12:2).
This is the "the lake of fire/second death" of Rev. 20.
Were any of these people told or warned that not only would they die for their sins, but that they would also be punished in death, endlessly? No, of course not. Not a word. Where then did the Church get the teaching that God punishes the wicked after death and in death? Not from the Hebrew Scriptures, that’s for sure.
"For the living know that they shall die…" (Ecc. 9:5a).
"…but the dead know not anything" (Ecc. 9:5b).
Is there an orthodox theologian alive, who believes this divinely inspired Scripture?
"For the wages of sin is DEATH…" (Rom. 6:23).
Yet millions believe many Scriptures contradict Rom. 6:23. How can anyone put their faith in a book that they believe contradicts itself? If the theologians and your pastors are correct in teaching that "For the wages of sin is eternal life in the lake of fire," how do they account for Rom. 6:23 which clearly states: "For the wages of sin is death?"
It’s very simple if you happen to be a deceiving, hypocritical, heretical, lying theologian. Their answer is: "Death IS, eternal life (in the lake of fire)." Theologians have no problem with square circles and contradictions.
What would God say if there really were such an hellhole of eternal torture in fire, and if someone about to be thrown into this hellhole would inquire of God: "But God, I thought Your Word said: "For the wages of sin is DEATH…" not LIFE in some terrorist hellhole of eternal torture by fire? How would the God of Christendom respond? Would He say: "Well, sometimes My Word does contradict?" or "So maybe I changed My mind?" or "I’m sorry, I lied?" or maybe "Ooooh, picky, picky, picky…?"
"Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sins, it [the ‘soul’—Heb: ‘nephesh’] shall die" (Ezek. 18:4 & 20).
And for no other reason than to hear Himself speak (I guess), God repeats it again in verse 20: "The soul [Heb: ‘nephesh’—same ‘nephesh’ that Adam became when he was MADE ALIVE by God, Gen. 2:7].that sins, it [the ‘soul’] shall die…"
Maybe God forgot that He had already said the same thing in verse 4, for surely He didn’t repeat this twice in one chapter because it is IMPORTANT or anything!
Perhaps God will ask the greatest and leading theologians of Christendom, how it is possible that when God teaches twice in 16 verses, that souls "die," that they are at the same time, "immortal?" Well, heck, let’s not wait till the White Throne Judgment, let’s ask it now: Christian Theologians of the world: "How is it possible for you to teach that souls are immortal, when God Himself teaches us twice in 16 verses that souls die?"
"For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and EVERY transgression and disobedience received [past tense] a JUST RECOMPENSE of reward [Gk: ‘a just retribution’] (Heb. 2:2).
Every transgression, disobedience and sin of the past has already "received… a just retribution." How is it then that the Church teaches these sinners must yet be tortured an eternity for their transgressions and disobedience?
Why don’t all of you reading this, ask your pastor why he teaches that the "soul (nephesh)" of man is immortal, when God teaches us twice in 16 verses that the "soul [nephesh—the very part of man that is said to be immortal] dies," and therefore cannot possibly be immortal. Let me know what kind of answers you receive. Just tell them L. Ray Smith of bible-truths.com is conducting a survey using reader participation.
I have said for many years that Christendom is a religion of contradictions and square circles. Do you think I jest?
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in gehenna" (Matt. 10:28).
First: Can God "destroy the body?" Well, yes, of course He can, Jesus just said that He "is ABLE." So God "IS able to destroy the body." Now, I believe Jesus. I think that most of you believe Jesus. But, do orthodox pastors and theologians, believe Jesus? Yes, from all that I know, they do believe Jesus on this point.
"and breathed into his nostrils the breath [Heb: ‘n’shahmah, puff, wind’] of life [Heb: ‘chay, alive, life, living’] and man became [Heb: ‘hayah, exist, be, become, come to pass’] a living [Heb: ‘chay, alive, life, living’] soul [Heb: ‘nephesh, a breathing creature, animal, vitality, mind, mortality’]."
Well, there you have it: God’s abbreviated version of how He created humanity.
Let me next draw your attention to something that few Christians have ever seen, even though it is right before their eyes in every Bible on earth. I said that God created man in two stages rather than three. I emphasize this because theology teaches that God made man in three stages. Here is their unscriptural version: First God formed the man of the ground, Second God breathed life into the man, and Third God put an immortal soul into the man. If you doubt that this is what they teach, ask your pastor.
However, did we read of these fabled three stages of man’s creation in the Scripture quoted above? No, no we didn’t. We read of two things in man’s creation at the hands of God. First God formed the man of the ground, Second God breathed life into the man, and Third God…? God what? There ain’t no Third. "man became a living soul" is part of stage Two. There is no third stage. God did not "put an immortal soul into the man." Where do we read of such unscriptural nonsense?
God didn’t need to do anything after He breathed into him the breathe of life. It was the breath of life from God that caused the man to become a living soul. God didn’t put a soul into Adam; Adam is a living soul. The spirit of man, which God gives to every human, is like a light switch—Switch it ‘on’ and the light glows: Switch it ‘off’ and the light is dark, gone, dead. Put the spirit in the man, and the man is a living soul: take the spirit out of the man, and the man is a dead soul. Do you think that even your children could understand this Scriptural Truth? Perhaps you should teach them, and then they could teach your pastor.
The "body" of the deceased is gone forever. In resurrection to immortality, God gives everyone a new spiritual body. God can bring back the person in any "body" He desires. When God puts your "spirit" (not you soul) but your spirit (which has no consciousness) back into another body (as in a resurrection with a new spiritual body), the same real person/soul will live again. God can do this, but man can’t, so fear God.
I personally use Dr. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. It is a most helpful book. However, when it comes to the major "damnable heresies" of Christendom, Dr. Strong plays the same game of contradictions and square circles, as do the pastors and theologians.
Say, did you catch that one word Dr. Strong used to define the soul—nephesh?
He used as a definition of "soul," the word "MORTALITY." How pray tell, can pastors, teachers, and theologians tell us that man’s soul is IMMORTAL, when the very definition of "soul—nephesh" is "MORTAL." Yes, of course, Godly men inspired by God’s Holy Spirit have always known that man is "mortal"—"Shall MORTAL man be more just than God…" (Job 4:17).
And so, what kind of a "living soul" did Adam become? Why a "living [mortal] soul," of course. Maybe that’s why Jesus also stated that "souls" can be "destroyed." We cannot separate the man from his soul in two different parts, as though the soul were something that existed independently of the body. For this reason, when the Bible speaks of "people" dying or being destroyed, it sometimes refers to them as "souls," for the soul is the person. Adam himself was the "living soul." (See: Joshua 10:28,35,37,39).
Next notice this statement in Strong’s definition of psuche above: "G4151, which is the rational and IMMORTAL SOUL." Oh really? Just like that? Noticed how casually Dr. Strong just dropped that little gem into his definition of soul. First he confirms the fact that the soul of man is MORTAL, but then quickly asserts that there is, however, another, different Greek word, which really does mean immortal soul, and it is the Greek word # 4151—pnuma.
Even though Dr. Strong knew the Hebrew word nephesh meant "mortal," and not "immortal" he nonetheless must be quick to inform us of his own personal heresy, and tell us that although the nephesh/soul of man is mortal, nevertheless man also possesses an "immortal" soul. And in so doing, we must conclude that that (‘mortal’ Job 4:17) man possesses two souls: one mortal and one immortal. Do Christians ever think about all these unscriptural heresies? Of course not. As we learned in the Army—"Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to do or die."
So the Greek word #4151 = pnuma, is the "immortal soul?" I would have never guessed: I always thought pnuma meant "spirit." You all know, I hope, that in the King James Version, the words "spirit" and "ghost" are translated from the exact same Greek word "pnuma," don’t you? Well, now you do.
Now, get this: pnuma is used in the Greek Scriptures approximately 360 times. And Dr. Strong tells us that this word pnuma IS the word for "immortal soul." So just how many times do you think this word is translated "immortal soul" out of the 360 verses which contain the Greek word pnuma?" Oh, go ahead—guess? Three hundred? Two hundred? Fifty? Ten? Three? One? Would you believe not even once? What about the "soul" by itself. How many times is pneuma translated "soul?" Three hundred? Two hundred? Fifty? Ten? Three? One? Would you believe none?
That’s right, none. Not once is this word pnuma, which Dr. Strong tells us is the proper word for "immortal soul," actually translated "immortal soul." It is always translated "spirit" [sometimes, ‘ghost’], but never "immortal soul." Nor is it even translated "soul" even without the prefix, "immortal."
The pagan teaching of an "immortal soul," was believed by all nations immediately following the flood, even though there is not a word concerning immortal souls or suffering in death in all of the Hebrew Scriptures.
"And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?"
What? How, pray tell, could this blind man be responsible for his own blindness when we are plainly told that he was born blind? Not only did the disciples believe the pagan doctrine that the soul is immortal, but they believed that souls could transmigrate from one body to another body.
The idea that the disciples are presenting to Jesus is the pagan doctrine known today as "The transmigration of souls." This doctrine teaches that souls do not just live on, as in "immortal" after death, in some fabled hellhole of eternal torture, or some heaven on a rock in outer space, but rather that at death, the immortal soul migrates to inhabit the body of another person about to born into the world.
Many in the world today continue to believe in reincarnation and the transmigration of souls. There are some pagans who believe that the souls of the dead can also reappear in the life of a pig, snake, nor some other animal.
Seriously, why would Christ’s disciples believe that a man could have sinned before he was ever born?
"Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents…" (John 9:3).
Jesus spoke the truth, for truly this man had not sinned (however, Jesus did not inform them that it would have been impossible for him to sin before he was born). But Jesus did not expose this pagan heresy to His disciples at this time. For what possible reason would Jesus want to keep His own disciples deceived?
[ruler of the demons]" (Matt. 12:24).
"And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out?" (Verse 27).
Some might think that Jesus is conceding that He indeed believed in this Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies. How foolish. Jesus did not believe that pagan gods were real.
Beelzeboul beh-el-zeb-ool' Of Chaldee origin (by parody upon [H1176]); dung god; Beelzebul, a name of Satan: - Beelzebub.
The Hebrew #1176 is Baal-Zebub which means "Lord of the fly." And as flies gather around dung, the Jews sarcastically referred to this deity of the Ekronites as the "god of dung," or "the dung god."
Did Jesus really believe that there is such a god as this Beelzebub, god of dung?
Of course He didn’t, but neither did He expose this pagan heresy to the Pharisees either.
"When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that You are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets" (Matt. 16:13-14).
Some even thought that He might be John the Baptist, which is really strange, seeing that Jesus was already the same age as John, when John was beheaded.
Did Jesus Christ believe in reincarnation and the transmigration of immortal souls? Where did this teaching come from, and why does Jesus make reference to it? Why didn’t Jesus expose this pagan heresy to His disciples instead of going along with their false statements?
[Gk: ‘hades’] he [the Rich man] lift up his eyes, being in torment, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom" (Luke 16:23).
The Egyptians called their place of punishment in the underworld, amenti. When the Greeks borrowed most of the Egyptian myths surrounding this place called amenti, they called it by the name hades.
Thomas Thayer supports Professor Stuart, Greppo's Essay, and Spineto, that: "The Amenti of the Egyptians originated the classic fables of Hades and Tartarus." (Doctrine of Eternal Punishment, Chapt. 3, P. 7).
Did Jesus believe that when people die, they are consciously alive and tormented in the pagan hell of the Greeks named after their pagan god, hades?
Why would Jesus use pagan religious doctrines and beliefs to teach spiritual truths of God? Haven’t these things deceived the Church and caused the many different denominations of Christendom? Yes, of course they have, and so have all the parables which Jesus taught that virtually no Church understands. The Church does not even understand the few parables that Jesus explained!
"And He [Jesus] said unto them, Know you not this parable? And how then shall you know all parables? (Mark 4:13).
All parables are the same parable. I know: it boggles the mind. It takes the Spirit of God to understand these spiritual teachings.
And just as when Jesus said: "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up," no one understands what He meant until it was fulfilled. Everyone thought he meant the literal physical stone temple rather than His own body.
Likewise, only the "Chosen few" can understand the parables as they are fulfilled in their own lives, generation by generation, until the parables are fulfilled.
The Jews of Jesus’ day learned these pagan teachings referred to above, plus many more, but from where did they learn them? For a fact they did not learn them from Moses, the Prophets, or Hebrew Scriptures. Who taught these pagan doctrines? Can we trace back such doctrines as "the immortality of the soul," "reincarnation," "consciousness and everlasting punishment after death?" Yes, we can.
"The sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth"
"And the sons of Ham, Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan"
"H4714 Dual of H4693; Mitsrajim, that is, Upper and Lower Egypt: - Egypt, Egyptians, Mizraim."
There it is: "Mizraim," Noah’s grandson through his son Ham is EGYPT.
Egypt is mentioned from Genesis to Revelation--558 times (more than any other nation excepting Israel). This statistic alone should speak volumes to us regarding the importance of Egypt in God’s plan for humankind. It behooves us to learn more about the nation of Egypt, its history, its culture, and its religion. It has everything to do with understanding the many unscriptural doctrines of the Christian Church.
In this Installment on hell, I want to take you back to the beginning of things as far as possible. The main object I have in mind is to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the teaching of life immediately following death, the immortality of the soul, and the teaching of a hell wherein the wicked are punished and/or tortured endlessly, are all inventions of the ancient pagans, centuries before the people of Israel began to believe and teach these doctrines, or even before Israel existed.
Accurate chronology to date some of these developments is difficult for sure. That is not to say we cannot get the order of things in proper sequence even if we may be off on the actual dates. We do not know the exact date for creation, or for the flood, or for the birth of Abraham. Nonetheless, if we believe and have faith in the Scriptures: for sure we know that the Creation came first, then a couple of thousand years later came the flood, and a few hundred years later Abraham was born.
Most chronologists and archaeologists place known historical events somewhat further back in time than can be accurately proved. Known historical events as the uniting of Upper and Lower Egypt at the founding of Memphis under Pharaoh Menes is placed around 3100 B.C. This may be a few hundred years too early.
Ussher’s chronology would put the flood of Noah’s day at a little less than 2300 B.C. But this hardly fits the Secular date for Menes uniting Egypt eight hundred years earlier (earlier than the life of Ham and Mizriam, the ancestors of the Egyptians). However, if we were to adopt the chronology of the Septuagint, we would have possibly 1500 more years to work with (5500 Septuagint date minus 4004 Ussher’s date). Hence the date of 3100 B.C. for Menes uniting Egypt may be closer to the Biblical chronology than thought, plus allowing a few centuries for the settling and populating of Egypt previously under many local kings and rulers.
Interestingly, the secular chronology of Egypt puts the development of hieroglyphic writing at 3400 B.C., which would put their early history within the range of the Septuagint chronology. These dates are all approximations at best.
As we shall see, there are some vestiges of truth concerning God and creation found in the ancient religious beliefs of the Egyptians. For example, the teaching in every nation that the human race was saved on a boat during a flood. However, many strange and unscriptural doctrines regarding the origin of man and the afterlife also were birthed in these ancient civilizations. There is a Scripture given us by the Apostle Paul which precisely describes the process by which the different civilizations totally corrupted the Truths of God immediately following the flood (Rom. 1:18-23).
"And Cush begat NIMROD: he began to be a mighty one in the earth… and the beginning of his kingdom was Babel…" (Gen. 10:7 & 10).
"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of SHINAR: and they dwelt there" (Gen. 11:1-2).
"…confounded their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth…" (Gen. 11:7-8).
Notice that Noah lived an additional 350 years after the flood (Gen. 9:28), and it was his grandson Nimrod who established a civilization in Shinar where they built a tower. And so the scattering of the people into different languages and different nations, occurred long before the death of Noah, just this side of the flood. Chapter 10 first gives us the names of the sons and grandsons of Ham, Shem, and Japheth, and then in chapter 11, it goes back in time and explains how all these nations received their different languages (See Gen 10:5), and how God scattered them abroad over the land. So the building of nations and civilizations began very shortly on this side of the flood in the very lifetime of Noah.

The Chair of Carolin, the last of the Irish Bards, is on loan to the Kildare Street Museum, courtesy of Capt. The MacDermot Roe (Lord of Moyburg). Interest in this ancient relic rests on the fact that it was the favourite chair of the Bard, and it was on this chair he sat, composed and played airs that delighted and pleased lovers of old Irish music. Carolin’s greatest pleasure was when he stayed at Alderford, the seat of the MacDermot Roe family, in the Co. of Roscommon, where kindness and hospitality were always lavished upon him. He died at Alderford nearly 200 years ago. Over the dismantled gateway of the ancient Church of Killrenan rests a tablet bearing an inscription to this Bard, who was interred in the vault of the MacDermot Roe family.

BOULDER, CO – All Internet users have experienced the frustration of clicking on a Web link to find information, only to be disappointed by a message such as “Page Not Found.” SEO expert Ali Husayni, of Millionairium, offers tips on how companies can avoid disappointed customers – and Google ranking drops – because of broken links.
It is a frustrating dilemma when someone is interested in gaining information about a topic that’s posted, yet when they try to click on the link the page has been removed.
One solution can be to ask hosts of sites that link to the page you want to remove to update their links. However, this could be difficult at times if you do not have a relationship with the host site.
According to Google’s Webmaster Central information pages, Sitemaps provide a way to inform Google about pages on your site that may not be discovered otherwise. An XML Sitemap is a list of your Website pages. Developing and submitting a Sitemap helps ensure that Google knows about all of your site’s pages, including URLs that might not be discoverable by way of Google’s usual crawling process.
To avoid negative results from broken links, try not to ever remove a page from your site – however this is not always easy to do, Husayni says. And if one is removed, use a 301 redirect to tell Google spiders that the page is removed.
Google recommends that if you need to change a page’s URL as shown in the search engine results, that you use a server-side 301 redirect. Google’s Webmaster Central information pages say this is an ideal way to ensure that users and search engines are directed to the right page. The 301 status code means the page has moved permanently to a new location.
The 301 redirects are most useful if you have moved your site to a new domain, and want to make the most seamless transition. When people reach your site through different URLs, if your home page can be reached in many ways, then it is good to select one of the URLs as a preferred (canonical) destination, and use 301 redirects to send traffic from other URLs to the preferred URL. You may use Webmaster Tools to set your preferred domain.
It also is helpful to use 301 redirects if you are merging two websites and want to make sure that links to outdated URLs are redirected to the right pages.
To implement a 301 redirect for Websites hosted on servers running Apache, you will need access to your server’s .htaccess file. If you are unsure about your access or server software, check with your web host. You may consult the Apache Tutorial and the Apache URL Rewriting Guide for more information, Google advises on its Webmaster Central pages. If your site is hosted on a server running other software, check with your host for details.
Addressing the issue of broken links is worth the time and effort to resolve. It can help avoid frustration from customers who visit your site and prevent drops in rankings.
Broken links are enough in my blog. Is there any tips to avoid the broken links of the blog.
Thankz for sharing such a useful stuff on how to avoid broken links. Nice stuff from ali husayni too.
Would you like to help me more, how to remove duplicate tag: alexa_ho_am, archives-list=1, and q=Save+Us+From.
OUTSTANDING post.. that give me more knowledge about blog stuff. thanks a lot..
Last time I did mistake to change some urls on my blog.
Now, when I check my site on google, the pages are identified as https and not indexed by Google.
Thanks Mr.Ali Husayni for your attention.

Concentrations of selenium are higher in the thyroid than in any other tissues other than liver and kidney, indicating that it has important functions within the gland.
In 1987, it became apparent that selenium could exert marked effects on thyroid hormone metabolism in tissues other than the thyroid. It, therefore, differs in its action from iodine whose effects on thyroid status are largely confined to the thyroid.
Selenium is an essential component of many selenoproteins that regulate thyroid hormone synthesis, preserve thyroid integrity in conditions of marked oxidative stress, and control hormone metabolism in nonthyroidal tissues where the prohormone Thyroxine (T4), is converted to biologically active T3 or its inactive isomer rT3.
The discovery of increased T4 and decreased T3 concentrations in plasma from selenium deficient rats and cattle provided the first demonstration that selenium could affect thyroid hormone metabolism. These changes were associated with considerable decreases in hepatic and renal type I iodothyronine de-iodinase (IDI) activity which converts T4 to T3.

After having spent 25 years working in the shadow of modern French violin making’s great luminaries, Marcel Lapierre founded his own atelier in Mirecourt in 1948. That marked the beginning of the period in which he produced his finest pieces. At his studio he reaped the fruits of his meandering path acquiring experience at the ateliers of the brothers Morizot, Louis Bazin and last but not least Emile Auguste Ouchard. This violin bow is a powerful testament to the high quality of his craftsmanship. The strong round stick of light-brown pernambuco bears the stamp of the renowned atelier of Georges Apparut, who commissioned the piece. The leading expert on French bows, J. F. Raffin in Paris, has issued a certificate confirming its provenance as Lapierre’s work. The balance point is measured at 25.6 cm of the total length of 74.7 cm, making it centrally positioned and slightly inclined towards the upper half of the bow, and giving the bow excellent playing properties. It is classically tasteful with its premium fittings: a silver-mounted ebony frog ornamented by a Parisian eye and a capsule button. Our restoration specialists have set it up thoroughly and made it ready to play. Its large, warm sound can now evolve across the full rich range of its volume.

Little Valley Brewery is a family-run organic brewery, founded in 2005. All their beers are brewed, bottled and branded high on the Yorkshire Pennine moorland of Cragg Vale, just outside Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Within days of officially opening, Little Valley Brewery’s Stoodley Stout won Beer of the Festival at Smithfield Beer Festival in Manchester.
Their story began when master brewer Wim van der Spek met co-owner Sue Cooper on a cycling trip to Tibet. Over a decade later, the team, range and business have all grown into something they are proud to call Little Valley Brewery. They use traditional methods and 100% natural ingredients to create a core range of organic beers, each doted on for up to 28 days.
All the beers are vegan friendly as they are produced without isinglass, a clarifying agent, which is obtained from fish bladders. One is LVB X (10% ABV), an organic barley wine that is rich, bold and dark with hints of raisin and a strong malty backbone.
We also recommended Tod’s Blonde (5% ABV), a blonde ale with a pleasant malty taste and a smooth bitter finish. It’s a good alternative to lager and best served with a crisp salad… or fish and chips.
From the light and hoppy to the bold and malty, Little Valley Brewery beers are unique and all are available to buy online.

Virginia’s historic landmarks are irreplaceable resources of the Commonwealth. They are tangible reminders of the state’s rich history and traditions. Through the Easement Program, historically significant buildings, sites, battlefields, and properties are protected from destruction or inappropriate change, thus ensuring that they will continue to enrich and enlighten future generations of Virginians. The Virginia General Assembly passed legislation establishing Virginia’s Easement Program in 1966, the same year Congress passed the National Historic Preservation Act. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources accepted its first easement in 1969. Today Virginia’s program is one of the largest in country and is viewed as a model nationwide. The program is designed to protect historic properties that are listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register or Virginia battlefields associated with the Civil War, Revolutionary War, or War of 1812.
The Virginia Board of Historic Resources (“Board”) is authorized by Virginia Code Sections 10.1-2204 (Historic Resources) and 10.1-1701 (Virginia Open-Space Land Act) to hold easements on historically significant resources throughout the Commonwealth. Easement Program staff at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) administers these easements on behalf of the Board. By placing a property under easement, the Commonwealth has determined that the historic significance and the public benefit gained by easing the property warrant its protection in perpetuity. The Board and DHR will work with property owners and their legal counsel to develop easement language that serves to comprehensively protect the property subject to the easement. DHR will continue to update the standard easement template language as necessary to reflect changes in federal and state law and historic preservation procedures and practices. It is the policy of the Board and DHR to develop language for each easement that will be both flexible and strong enough to remain in force in perpetuity.

Hi guys! Good news, I'm going to The Indie Shop: Atlanta this weekend! Is anyone else going? I've been hemming and hawing about whether or not I should go, but I decided to just go for it. I'd love to meet some of you! Tonight I have one polish from the Polish 'M Christmas Collection to show you. I'm not sure how long it will be available for purchase, but it's on sale now for only $4.50. Yup, for a full-sized bottle even.
Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer is an orange jelly base with gold and orange shimmer/microglitter and a silver holographic finish. While it's not a very Christmas-y color, I'm still in love. You know I'm a fan of orange polishes, and this one is no exception. It dries a bit textured, so a thick topcoat (or a couple coats of a thinner one) is needed to smooth it out. It had a great formula, and I used 3 coats in the photos above. You could probably get away with 2 coats, but I liked the added depth the third provided.

Close-up of diamond engagement ring.
1 What to Do With Old Engagement Rings?
Selling an engagement ring isn't just about selling a piece of jewelry. The ring has significant emotional ties, whether you call off the wedding, get divorced or simply want a bigger ring. Working through the emotional component is important, but you also need to do research on how much the ring is worth and the best avenue for selling it.
Even if you're no longer with your partner, your engagement ring was given in love. It symbolizes the relationship you had. If your decision to sell the ring is a rash one, slow down to consider the emotional impact of letting it go. Otherwise, you may regret the sale in the future.
Being emotionally tied to the ring can also cloud your judgment when it comes to setting a price. You might expect more from the ring than it's worth since it has sentimental value to you. As difficult as it is, try to keep the emotional element out of the sale so you can set a reasonable price based on the actual value.
Using the original price of the engagement ring as a basis for determining what you can sell it for isn't a reliable way to go. The value of jewelry fluctuates, and the ring's current condition can lower the value if it's damaged or hasn't been maintained well. The way you sell your engagement ring affects how much you can get for it. You get less at a pawn show or from a jeweler than you do if you sell it privately, for example.
The best way to find out the value of your ring is to have it appraised. A certified jewelry appraiser can thoroughly evaluate the ring to give you an estimate of the value, but this option involves paying for the appraisal. If your engagement ring isn't worth a lot, or you don't want to lose any of the profits, you can get an estimated value from a jewelry buyer or pawnbroker. To make sure you're getting a fair assessment, go to a few different buyers to see how the values compare. Keep in mind these people are trying to maximize their profits, so the estimates may be skewed in their favor.
Once you know how much the ring is worth, you can set your price. Don't expect to get the full value from the ring. People buy used rings to get a good deal or to resell for a profit. If you expect too much from the ring, you may have to adjust your price to find a buyer.
You have a few different options for selling your engagement ring. If you want to sell the ring quickly, the easiest option is to sell it to a business in the jewelry industry. This includes jewelry stores that buy used jewelry, diamond dealers and pawnbrokers. Expect to get less from the ring if you go this route. The advantage is a quick sale in a relatively safe setting as long as you choose a reputable dealer. Look for a business with a good reputation and long history. The Better Business Bureau is a good place to check for issues.
Your other main option is to sell directly to another person who plans to keep the ring. You can usually ask a little more for the ring than you might get from a jewelry buyer. Safety can be a concern. Scammers sometimes try to con people out of jewelry. Selling through an online site like eBay or I Do Now I Don't gives you some protection from scammers. I Do Now I Don't requires you to send the ring to them while they hold the buyer's money in escrow. Once their gemologists authenticate the ring, the purchase is complete, and you get your money.
You're parting with a valuable piece of jewelry, so you want to protect yourself in the sale. If you're selling to someone in the jewelry industry, get quotes from several options to make sure the first choice isn't trying to lowball the offer. If you ship the ring to the jewelry business, document everything about the jewelry, including photographs. Ship it with tracking, so you can tell when the buyer receives the ring.
If you're selling to a private individual, meet in a safe place for an in-person exchange. A police station is a good choice. Avoid accepting personal checks, which can bounce and be almost impossible to collect. Require cash, or take the payment via PayPal to ensure you actually get your money.
What Do I Need to Know When Choosing My Girlfriend's Engagement Ring?

For the 5 of you who still play the Heavy class after the DC15LE explosive shot fix, here is my latest guide updated for patch 2.0 on how I play the class. Heavy I think is in a great place currently, we have 3 viable weapons depending on the playstyle you like, great survival and utility, and excellent battle point generation capabilities when played correctly. As usual, I tend to error on the side of brevity, so this is just a brief overview of how I play, rather than an exhaustive guide to the class and all its options.
I apologize for the stutter present in the gameplay video, recording gameplay since the patch introduces a stutter and I haven't figured out how to get rid of it yet.
Good guide. One thing noteworthy is that the Defender bug is back. It's applied as long as your previous class was a Heavy when entering a vehicle allowing you to get tons of battle points when using vehicles like the MTT, AT-ST, and the AT-AT.
Hmm I hadn't noticed that... nice!
The Heavy was already my #1 choice for BP Generation in about half the map to get the hero first.
But since 2.0, even without the bug, Heavy is back to be the unrivlaed #1.
It's just to easy to get a Hero in under a Minute.
Only rivaled by the specialist with Marksman on certain maps.
But reintroducing the BP bug on vehicles, yeah... Makes him best of the best.
If only the game wouldn't freeze me midair while jumping as a hero, unfreezing at spawn Screen.
What a mess 2.0 is.
Doesn't work when i do it.
That's weird. It's working for me, and by the looks of it, Officer's Presence is triggering the same thing. I managed to get a few ticks of Inspired Presence when sitting in a Starfighter.
Nice guide thanks. Also that guide you did about the aim recital improved my accuracy so much i went out and bought an Asus Swift monitor lol, so thanks for that as well.
Haha nice, I have a ROG Swift as well! Ya, people don't realize how big a difference a proper reticle makes, both IRL and ingame.
Yup, all the heavy guns are good at their respective roles and the abilities are good aside from default sentry being a bit weak.
Officers presence works in a vehicle but not defender. Does it have to be epic?
No idea if it has to be, but both my Officer's Presence and Defender card are epic at least.
Tried it tonight, didn't work for me.
It still requires good play to achieve that quick hero though as generally you will have to engage and put down multiple enemies or play the objective by blowing up the MTT etc. to get the 2x modifier and then generate the points for the heroes... this was not really the case for the officer who could get those points by using a single ability which did not directly require them to be playing the objective or even engaged in combat.
@t3hBar0n you're my kind of player. Tactical, deliberate and have great map awareness. I played Heavy exclusively for the first two months, but have started playing other classes much more. With the new system, I need to grind out some levels on the Heavy and this got me motivated. Love the build and the approach to your play style. Big thumbs up. Will definitely be using this.
For the 5 of you who still play the Heavy class after the DC15LE explosive shot fix, .
You play like I play Specialist. Thanks for the vid, as it helped a lot.
Thanks. Every time I see people complaining that this game takes no "skill" or whatever I just roll my eyes... playing tactically will yield fantastic rewards if you have the patience to do so.
Discretion is the better part of valor!
The stutter in the video? Glad to see im not the only one, im having this retard3d issue since 1.2 and it's been getting worse every single patch. THANK YOU DICE. Also have issues where the game freezes/stutters when friends join my xbox live party.
Yes it is. There is also no honor in combat, just staying alive. Great post.
Nothing has changed in most recent update for the Heavy class and this guide is still accurate as of today.
You might have turned me into a heavy main. Oh no.
Heavy is the best class in the game... few realize the truth!
Gameplay from last evening just to show nothing has changed.
Didnt know the tl-50 range could go from the yavin courtyard staircase to the other.
Definitely gonna have to use this.
Just wished the grenade was different than the impact grenade. Feels noobish.
The TL50 is more accurate than people realize but the heavy reticle is terrible. I use a custom reticle which vastly improves point of aim.
Definitely gonna have to start using the heavy to its full power.
For transport/tank maps switch out defender or shield for explosive sentry?
I switch out defender for explosive sentry.
If you get attacked while in sentry you can hit shield and it will instantly deploy and cancel sentry... saved me tons of times.
Should I start using shield? I always seem to run Ion Turret and love it for the amount of free assists and kills it gives me. It seems viable on all maps too. If it's a CQB stage / map like DS2 all stages, Endot stage 1, Naboo phase 3 or Kamino phase 1 I might switch up to the barrage but just never think of using the shield though I guess it must be great for 1 v 1's.
I think it is the best card available for heavy hands down... it takes a bit of getting used to because you have to be aware to disable it in order to roll etc, but its power is unmatched by any other heavy cards.
I think it is the best card available for heavy hands down... it takes a bit of getting used to because you have to be aware to disable it in order to roll etc, but its power is unmatched by any other heavy cards. If you really wanted to run ion turrent I would run Ion turret, bounty hunter and shield.
both are right side abilities. one reason we should be able to pick which side everything goes on.
Ty for feedback. I need to start giving shield a go then. Agree it's silly we can't use whatever combinations we want instead of being hampered by left/right side abilities. As long as people can't equip x2 types of grenade or launcher that would seem fair e.g. Improved Impact + Detonite Charge.
Bump for latest updates. Heavy gameplay has not functionally changed since this patch, and thus there are no changes to this guide.
Thanks for the guide @t3hBar0n I've now got myself better heavy skills and a home made crosshair made from a ziplock sandwich bag.
Hahaha... might want to think about stepping up to some painters tape!

Home > The Agency > Holdings > Divested shareholdings or shareholdings undergoing divestment > ASITEL S.r.l.
ASITEL S.r.l in liquidation, already a joint-stock company, had been launched in 2010 with resolution no. 103/2010 by ASI's Board of Directors. The company was 100% owned by ASI.
In 2016, with a Shareholders’ Meeting Resolution, ASITEL S.p.A. was transformed from a joint-stock company to a limited liability company and placed in dissolution and liquidation. On 23/05/2018 the company was definitively closed and canceled from the Register of companies.
The Company had been formed in order to perform activities mainly in the satellite telecommunications sector, in particular through the design, creation and commercialization of systems and relative services. This activity included the management of systems on the ground and infrastructures in orbit, all aimed at satellite telecommunications, as well as other connected and instrumental activities.
In its statute, the company envisaged the possibility of joint ventures with both public and private bodies (adopting the PPP - Public Private Partnership - method) with the obligation of maintaining most of the share capital in public hands.

Cedarville University’s industrial and innovative design (IID) program will expand its program by increasing learning space, purchasing new equipment, and adding staff for its Columbus-based program. The expansion will begin in May.
When classes finish in May, construction on the ICC facilities in Columbus will add nearly 1,000 square feet of studio space. The project will also create a dedicated model shop for full scale models of products and structures like retail display systems, home appliances and automobiles. Stevenson said the expansion will also provide space for the necessary tools, and students will receive guidance from industry professionals for their projects.
In addition to expanding the studios, Terry Chamberlain, chair of Cedarville University’s Department of Art, Design and Theatre, and Jim Stevenson, president of the International Center for Creativity (ICC) said they are in the process of hiring new instructors to teach the growing number of IID students. Next year, 30 juniors and seniors will study at the ICC, which began in 2010.
Bill Mowry, the spiritual director, joined the ICC staff this year and now supports a professional ethics course, mentors students and organizes Bible studies and community ministries. Mowry is also an international trainer for the Navigators.
Cedarville’s partnership with the ICC and the IID program has grown rapidly. The major currently includes four study tracks: consumer product design, transportation design, exterior space design and interior space design. Students spend their first two years on Cedarville’s campus, and then gain real-world experience at the ICC studios.

He was the first person arrested under a 2017 ruling which outlawed the religious group, deeming them an "extremist organisation".
"I hope that today is the day that Russian Federation defends freedom of religion", he told reporters before entering the packed courtroom Wednesday.
Authorities in 2017 amended an existing anti-extremism law to mention Jehovah's Witnesses specifically, ordering their dissolution in Russian Federation.
A Danish citizen with a Russian residency permit, Christensen was arrested at a worship service in May 2017 by armed police in the western city of Orel.
A Jehovah's Witness member has been sentenced to six years in jail for extremism in Russian Federation, years after the religious group was outlawed in the country. He had unlocked the entrance to the building and delivered a sermon that day but he was not a staff member of the organization, according Human Rights Watch.
Jehovah's Witnesses have for several years come under pressure from the Russian state.
Reuters interviewed Christensen in his jail cell during breaks in the trial.
However, he was found guilty by the court on Wednesday, February 6 for organising a meeting of a banned group.
More than 100 criminal cases have been opened against Jehovah's Witnesses, with another 24 people in prison awaiting or on trial and a similar number under house arrest.
Dennis Christensen is escorted inside a courthouse following the verdict announcement.
"We deeply regret the conviction of Dennis Christensen - an innocent man who did not commit any real crime", said Yaroslav Sivulskiy, representative of the European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses. "It is sad that reading the bible, preaching, and living a moral way of life is again a criminal offense in Russia", Sivulskiy said in a public statement on Wednesday.

Counterfeit Cable – What you need to know!
Cheap cable is no bargain! Cable that is significantly lower priced than what you are accustomed to paying should raise a red flag. Most likely, it is counterfeit – EVEN IF it is labeled with a brand name, a UL number, and/or an ETL logo.
Counterfeit cabling causes the communications industry many problems. At the very least you can count on poor performance; even over shorter distances. In most cases, this is a result of the cable being made of copper-clad aluminum conductors with twists not to spec. However, more seriously, cable counterfeiters are notorious for passing a riser cable as plenum rated. These combustible cables burn with such ferocity that loss of property and even life are legitimate dangers.
And let’s not forget about the financial ramifications. As a contractor, if you install faulty cabling – whether you knew it or not – you could face tremendous penalties for damages, fraud, and breach of contract. Jail time is also a potential consequence for using sub-standard cabling.
3. Printing: Is the printing poorly done on the packaging or cable?
4. Color: Does the color match previously purchased cable?
5. Jacket/Construction: Does the cable look and feel like previously purchased cable?
6. Weight: Certified cable is heavy due to the high copper content. If a box feels light, compare it to a box you know is compliant.
There is simply no justification for using counterfeit cable. DCO distribution is committed to helping our customers avoid the troubles of counterfeit cable by only supplying cable from reputable manufacturers that have earned our trust through years of successful partnership.

Center’d, the service that looks to help you figure out what to do with your day, has released a new iPhone application that lets you tap into the site’s restaurant, event, and activity recommendation engine on the go. The application is free and you can grab it here.
Center’d competes with sites like Yelp and CitySearch, but instead of simply offering text reviews, the service scours the web for reviews and descriptions and performs semantic analysis on them, allowing you to perform more detailed searches than you could on other sites.
In my testing I found the app’s manual search mode, which lets you search by keywords, to be pretty hit-or-miss. During one search for “large portions” Center’d pulled up a list of matching restaurants, but the app didn’t do a good job explaining why it thought they had large portions (you’d expect it to display any relevant text in its database, but it didn’t). In fact, when I looked through the details of the top hit for “large portions”, that restaurant’s top keyword was “small plates”. Go figure.
Search leaves something to be desired, but that doesn’t mean the app isn’t worth checking out. Its City Guides functionality, which lets you search using a number of pre-set filters, is actually quite helpful. To use it, you first choose a description of what you’re looking for (options include things like ‘Kid-friendly’, ‘Romantic’, and ‘Outdoors’). Then you choose the type of venue you’re looking for, be it a restaurant, event, shopping or attraction. The app pulls up a list of matches, and for the most part I found these to be pretty accurate — a search for kid-friendly restaurants in Palo Alto pulled up local favorite ‘The Creamery’ as the top result, and the app also made it easy to pull up a list of local bars with outdoor patios.
Aside from the iPhone app, Center’d is seeing strong growth, though its traffic is still pretty modest. Since April the service has doubled its traffic.
Also worth checking out is Yelp’s new iPhone application, which includes deals from local merchants.

A "cache," in computer lingo, is a place where information is stored in one place for easy access. "Cache" can also refer to a treasure trove where valuable items are stored. Both of these meanings convey the inspiration behind the column in The Clarinet and this accompanying blog Clarinet Cache, in which clarinet-related media on the internet is tracked and collected in one place.
In the print column (published quarterly), topics or specific websites are investigated in-depth. At the Clarinet Cache blog, electronic versions of these columns are posted and much more. We hope you'll visit often, comment, and send me your ideas for future posts and columns! Clarinet Cache is authored by Kellie Lignitz-Hahn and guest author Bret Pimentel.

There is not a single business owner I know that loves to spend money on advertising. Why? Because they can’t see it working, trust it’s working or understand how it works. But there is a solution.
Imagine you are a pilot who has encountered bad weather. You can’t see out of your windshield. You might feel like your flying straight when in actuality you’re diving straight into the ground because your senses are disoriented (spacial disorientation….trust me, it’s real). So, you throw feelings out the window and look to your instruments like an artificial horizon, altimeter, vertical speed indicator and compass to help you land safely. Pilots only trust what their instruments are telling them…. not what they see or feel.
Why? Because when you can’t see, you use your instruments…..they are your only guarantee.
As a business owner… you cannot see what your marketing is doing for you everyday… so you need your instruments. But what do you mean? You simply aren’t present for the moment of influence.. whether it be from a print ad in magazine, your listing in google, a business card in a parking lot because it fell out of your pocket or a referral from a friend. You are not a fly on the wall, angel in the sky or a peeping Tom. That would be creepy.
And because you can’t be with each of your potential clients when they find out about your company… you use your instruments like google analytics, contact forms, and promotional codes to understand when and how those influences you pay for work.
But my feelings and friends are easier to gauge. Wrong.
It’s easy to do. Make assumption about pretty much anything in life based on your personal preferences, the latest trends you see rolling across your facebook home feed, or the latest buzz word you hear at a recent networking event. And, I know that it’s difficult to have trust that the advertising channels you are putting your money into are a good investment if you have no idea how they work for you.. but you can know how they work for you if you invest the time to understand them.
Remember: the only thing you should be using to measure the success is your marketing instrument panel and your bottom line. Are you reaching your goals and are you making the money you need to stay in business?
Remember: Feelings and perceptions have no place in marketing. Using your feelings and personal perceptions of what you think your clients are doing… is not a healthy way to make business decisions.
Just as a pilot trusts his instruments to fly safely through bad weather when he cannot see, a business owner must trust in her marketing analytics programs to see how her advertising is working for her business. If you can learn to trust your marketing by learning to track it and understand it’s effectiveness.. you will learn to love advertising.

Independent: Entrepreneurs have to make a lot of decisions on their own. If you find you can trust your instincts and you’re not afraid of rejection every now and then, you could be on your way to being an entrepreneur.
Supported by others: Before you start a business, it’s important to have a strong support system in place. You’ll be forced to make many important decisions, especially in the first months of opening your business. If you do not have a support network of people to help you, consider finding a business mentor. A business mentor is someone who is experienced, successful and willing to provide advice and guidance. Read the Steps to Finding a Mentor article for help on finding and working with a mentor.

Thanks to the antidemocratic "supercommittee," the legislation singularly responsible for shaping our food system is being written behind closed doors.
This anti-democratic maneuvering could determine the shape of one of the most important—and controversial—pieces of legislation Congress considers, sometimes called the food bill because of its enormous influence over what Americans (especially children) eat, what food costs (here and overseas), whether our food is safe to eat and whether 45 million impoverished Americans (again, about half of them children) continue to receive food stamps. The bill also helps determine whether agriculture respects or pollutes our air, soil and water.
And the Farm Bill may not be the only law written behind closed doors and fast-tracked through the legisilative process, thanks to the supercommittee’s requirements. Ben Becker, a spokesman for the Senate Agriculture Committee, rejects accusations of undue secrecy in the new Farm Bill even as he emphasizes, "We didn’t choose this process. It was forced on all committees."
Reauthorized every five years, the farm bill is due for reconsideration in 2012. Food movement activists had promised the strongest, most unified campaign yet to reform the legislation away from its emphasis on lavish subsidies for agribusiness and environmentally destructive practices and toward family farms and sustainable agriculture [see Dan Imhoff’s “Farm Bill 101”].
The proposed new version of the farm bill was at press time to be submitted the first week of November. It was devised solely by the “gang of four,” the two chairs and two ranking members of the House and Senate Agriculture committees and submitted to the supercommittee in hopes that it will be included in the deficit reduction plan, due by Thanksgiving. There were no new committee hearings on the new farm bill recommendations, no markups or votes. And if the supercommittee accepts the bill as written, there will be no possibility of amending it on the House or Senate floor or of voting on it separately.
Representative Collin Peterson, the Minnesota Democrat who helped draft the bill, defends the fast-tracking of the farm bill on the grounds that it will produce a stronger result than if the supercommittee were to act on its own. In addition, interest groups were allowed to submit proposals for the gang of four to consider in drafting their bill.
But that’s not democracy, protests Ken Cook, head of the Environmental Working Group, an NGO that has embarrassed corporate farmers by publicizing how much taxpayer money they receive in crop subsidies, sometimes for land that hasn’t been farmed in years. “Sure, people are submitting ideas, but the [four] members of Congress sitting around that table are mainly there to represent the interests of Big Ag,” Cook told The Nation. “They have made it very clear their main interest is in protecting a subsidy program for industrial agriculture…. Meanwhile, they reportedly want to cut roughly $4 billion from the food stamps program over the next ten years, at a time of economic distress, when we have 45 million people on food stamps in this country.
“If these are truly great ideas, let’s discuss them openly,” Cook argues, adding that his organization is mobilizing its 1.1 million followers and other parts of the food movement to say, in the words of a new TV ad, No Secret Farm Bill.
"Either the supercommittee would in essence write the Farm Bill, with no hearings or public input, or the Agriculture Committee and the communities we represent would recommend reforms," counters Becker. "Even in the short time we were provided to offer recommendations to the super-committtee, we have actively sought input from farm, conservation, nutrition and other stakeholders and are including their recommendations as we seek to reform the nation’s agriculture policy."

On the 61st floor of Banyan Tree Hotel, Vertigo and Moon Bar have outstanding views of Bangkok. The open-air lounge is pure cocktail drinking glamour.
Perched 61 floors above the city on the roof of the sultry Banyan Tree Hotel, Vertigo and its Moon Bar are tops for great views, and for trading the sub-zero climate of air conditioned bars for gentle breezes. They’re less good for staying dry in the wet season though, since there’s no roof.
A chic open-air lounge popular with the cocktail-drinking glamour set and Amex carrying ex-pats, the restaurant does good barbecued seafood and boasts some excellent signature dishes, such as grilled sea bass with citrus salsa and cilantro. They grill a pretty good steak too, and there’s a decent vegetarian menu, but mostly you’re here for the drink and scenery.
Take a seat at any of the white linen-covered tables and you’ll get a stunning view whichever way you turn. Bangkok’s cityscape, the winding Chao Praya river and the soccer ball sun sinking below the horizon are best enjoyed with a glass of fine Cristal, or wine and cocktails. Their signature drink is the Vertigo Sunset Malibu, a splash or cranberry juice, plenty of pineapple juice and a squeeze of lime. The price tags are somewhat hefty, and there’s a dress code to keep the riff raff out – so no shorts, sleeveless tops or flip flops.
There’s a telescope for star gazing and live jazz is laid on most evenings too. There can be few more romantic gestures than whisking your date up here for a glass of top notch bubbly high above the bustling streets of Bangkok just check that they’re OK with heights first.

This week, a terrific poem in the English pastoral tradition. I love how convention is upended by the personal in the last stanza.
That I shall never find my home.
Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) was a well-known politician in his day, holding office in Oliver Cromwell's government. Though good friends with John Milton, he was, himself, relatively unknown as a poet and his work was only published posthumously. He is now considered one of the great English poets of the 17th Century.
you enjoy your lovely day and what appears to be a vacation since you posted on wednesday. thanks!
Nice topic for break from news and politics.. thumb up!
