The 6km promenade stretches from the Sheraton Hotel to the Museum of Islamic Art and includes a vast range of entertainment options, food and beverage kiosks and roving performances, such as musicians, dancers and various visual artists.
The SC's Stakeholder Relations Director, Khaled Al Suwaidi, said there was something for everyone to enjoy.“The Corniche Activation is our biggest fan zone project, with a capacity to host 120,000 fans. It contains a variety of festivities, coffee stations, food carts and family-friendly areas. There is something for everyone.”
He added:“We have worked closely with local cultural stakeholders and community groups to organise many of the activities, which celebrate the best of the host country, while highlighting our cultural diversity – which during the World Cup will make everyone feel that Qatar is their home away from home.”
Previously, the Cultural & Entertainment Experience Programme delivered cultural activations during FIFA Club World Cup, FIFA Arab Cup, Emir Cup and other past football tournaments.
Following the huge success of the programme, it launched the Cultural Activation FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 project to add to the extraordinary fan experience that visitors can indulge in during their stay in the country.

“We received more than 4,000 applications from talented artists interested in being part of this one-of-a-kind event,” said Al Suwaidi.“We carefully considered the applicants and invited several hundred to share their talent with the world. Through this project, we provided the opportunity for talented artists to experience an event of this magnitude and celebrate their culture and passion with the fans during this countrywide festival of art and football.”
Al Suwaidi signed off by saying football fever had taken over the Doha Corniche.
He said:“This place is buzzing with excitement with fans from all over the world. This is what we love to see – football passion is everywhere.”

McCarthy Recruitment were instrumental in sourcing high calibre candidates for some of the store openings whilst I was at Pure as well as undertaking general ad hoc recruitment in Head office and Store and Area Management for us.
When looking for a provider there was plenty of choice available, however, we chose McCarthy as not only was their ‘Runner’ (new store opening) package extremely cost-effective but additionally, their knowledge of the Retail market and ability to access high calibre candidates is unparalleled. In addition, we also used McCarthy to assist with the rewriting of our assessment material and used them for a number of consultancy projects, for example, Kate trained our Store Management Team on competency interviewing which really demonstrated McCarthy’s commitment to our overall working partnership.
As a business, we were very specific about our brand and the staff we take on to represent the Pure Collection ranges in-store, as such our providers need to adhere to very specific standards. McCarthy took time to truly understand what we were looking from in both skills, experience, and behaviours and sent us candidates over who were bought into our business and well suited to our brand. McCarthy delivered our store openings promptly, effectively, and professionally.
I felt we got a first-class service at an extremely competitive rate and would not hesitate to recommend them as a recruitment partner.

Paris’s rich history extends back two thousand years, and what is now a thriving commercial and cultural hub was once a small Gallic settlement. It wasn’t until the 11th and 12th centuries that Paris truly experienced its urban renaissance and became an increasingly important royal capital. Many buildings and infrastructures from this medieval era still remain. Indeed, a tour through Paris’s vibrant history can be a great addition to your visit to the City of Light.
Start off your medieval tour at the Hotel de Ville, in the 5th arrondissement, which has been the site of the city’s municipality since 1357. It remained in its original form until the Franco-Prussian war, when in 1871 supporters of the short-lived Paris commune set fire to the Hotel de Ville and burned it almost entirely to the ground. The resulting reconstruction has left an impressive and imposing structure.
Métro: Hotel de Ville
Move from here to the Notre Dame Cathedral, just across the Seine River on the eastern side of the Ile de la Cité. It was constructed in 1163 and took until 1345 to be completed. Using French Gothic-style architecture, it was one of the first buildings to employ the use of flying buttresses. The now uniform beige exterior was once painted in bright colors, highlighting the many gargoyles and statues that cover the front-facing wall. Be sure to step inside for a free tour of the cathedral and its stunning stained glass window.
Métro: Cité or St Michel
From Notre Dame, head over to the Sorbonne, Paris’s famed university that was founded in the 12th century. During medieval times, the Sorbonne was known as a guild of masters and scholars, and was separated into four faculties: Arts, Medicine, Law and Theology. Changes to the institution led to its separation into thirteen independent universities in the 1970s. While not all the current Sorbonne structures are much to look at, the building at Paris IV (which considers itself the “true” Sorbonne) offers impressive woodwork, a charming courtyard and a true sense of history. Once you’re finished, head just two blocks back toward Metro Saint Michel to take in the collection of stunning medieval arts and artifacts at the Musee Cluny (National Medieval Arts Museum). From stained glass to manuscripts to enigmatic and beautiful tapestries, this is a surprisingly underappreciated gem dedicated to medieval arts and daily life. There’s even a medieval-style garden to meditate in.
Métro: Cluny – La Sorbonne
Just down the river Seine is the Royal Palace of Cité, located on the west of the Ile de la Cité. Operated by France’s medieval kings between the 10th and 14th centuries, it was once home to a massive prison, which transported prisoners to guillotines across the city during the French Revolution. In the 13th century, the reigning Louis IX added on the Sainte-Chapelle chapel and galleries, which hold some of the most important relics from the medieval era. Its floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows are not to be missed.

Peninsula is admittedly better than most recent zombie fare, but is reflective of an overall cinematic failure to innovate the genre.
The zombie film is, at this point, a cinematic staple. Given the sheer number of zombie narratives over the past decade, any qualitative assessment is sure to vary from person to person, the obvious highs and lows of the genre becoming less distinct amid the saturation. For film enthusiasts, it’s frequently difficult to find even one such film worth seeing in a given year, while elsewhere video gamers have been blessed with a wonderful streak of Resident Evil entries. Zombie fatigue is very real across all visual mediums, and it’s something that has been written about frequently, but the sentiment bears repeating: too many TV shows, too many movies, not many of them good. All the more reason, then, to celebrate the exceptions, and 2016’s Train to Busan, directed by Yeon Sang-ho, was among the most exciting and visceral horror-action spectacles of the year. It didn’t necessarily revolutionize anything; rather, it relied on an elegant handling of story and character, as well as a palpable sense of urgency, that had been missing from other recent forays into zombie fare. It arrived at a time when the Resident Evil series, under the guidance of director Paul W.S. Anderson, was completing its evolution from horror-facing franchise into something altogether more stylized and surfacely artful — a popular pivot among many cinephiles, but also an about-face from the genre tradition of its inception, leaving plenty of viewers less satisfied.
And so, given Train to Busan‘s international success, a sequel was expected. Instead, what came first was an animated prequel of sorts, Seoul Station, also directed by Yeon Sang-ho and released only a month after the original (the director had been previously known exclusively as an animation director prior to Train to Busan). Seoul Station was a far grimmer affair and with few pleasures to be found, as it was too bogged down in the narrative origins of the zombie outbreak that would take over South Korea. Four years later and that sequel has arrived. Peninsula opens with a few sequences that look to re-establish its particular brand of zombie films: one that, while still possessing the requisite genre thrills, chooses to ground itself foremost in the moral quandaries (and resultant thematic and moral weight) that define such an apocalyptic scenario. Notions of camaraderie, piety, treason, and altruism permeate the film, and the plot kicks off Jung-seok, a South Korean marine, who, with his sister and nephew, seeks refuge from the undead scourge aboard a ship. Obviously, everything goes wrong, the ship is quickly overrun with zombies, and Jung-seok watches his family die; he then befriends another lonely outcast, and the pair spend the next few years as outcasts in Hong Kong.
There’s fascinating allegorical potential in the idea of “zombie refugees” in Hong Kong, and it seems as if the film may follow this thread as the local population treats these individuals as if they were infected simply because they speak Korean. Unfortunately, it’s a suggestion that isn’t more than cursorily explored. Instead, Peninsula pivots to include a Chinese mob boss who contacts Jung-seok to form a team that will pillage Incheon, a coastal city which has been quarantined for the past four years. The group soon discovers that zombies “live” in the city, but so does an underground society of sorts that has flourished in the middle of the crumbling streets and buildings. What this means for Peninsula, then, is that it begins to heavily borrow from other post-apocalyptic films — notably the Mad Max series, and particularly Fury Road — and that sense of familiarity dampens much of the film’s potential thrills. The film’s digital imagery further complicates matters: there’s a commitment to compositions shrouded in darkness that, while recalling the particular flavor of Yeon’s animation origins, start to become repetitive across the film’s runtime. Indeed, it remains the human moments — ethical deliberations and acts of heroism — rather than the film’s technical craft or set pieces that evince its most exciting elements, with the exception of a series of car/foot chases that close out the film and inject some stakes into an otherwise commonplace zombie film. If Peninsula doesn’t measure up to its predecessor, it remains a more impressive effort than most other recent depictions in the flagging genre. But in the realm of living dead art, recent video game Resident Evil 3 is superior in storytelling, character, and visual artistry. It’s an unfortunate reality that a medium so essential in the development of zombie craft is falling so far behind other modes when it comes to innovation. |

We World Cup Champ, A Secentralized World Cup gaming platform.
The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is about to begin, the world’s hottest sports competition has attracted the attention of more than 3 billion fans around the world, when blockchain technology and Web3 meet the World Cup, what kind of wealth story will collide?
The sports field is becoming a new way for crypto giants to expand their own ecology, and well-known crypto giants represented by Binance, Coinbase, and are extending to the soccer field through Web3 to further enhance their crypto ecology’s brand awareness and business system of cross-border integration. While a much-anticipated grand soccer feast will soon kick off in Qatar, the new crown epidemic has had a significant impact on soccer matches so far in 2020, resulting in the suspension of matches, player confirmations, live viewing restrictions, and tight cash flow for clubs. With these impacts, fan participation in the event has quickly shifted from offline to online. In this golden age of web2 internet to web3 internet innovation, the online participation of fans in tournament betting has become more diversified and encrypted. The concept of “data is an asset and everyone can participate” has led to the emergence of a large number of web3+football tournament projects, among which, WWCC was born. Unlike previous World Cup crypto investment projects, WWCC will provide participants with a more fair, transparent, free and pure open autonomous crypto soccer guessing platform, WWCC welcomes fans and crypto enthusiasts from all over the world to join the WWCC platform. WWCC will create your own World Cup championship in the name of Web3.
WWCC is the abbreviation of “We World Cup champ”, which means “We are the World Cup champ”. WWCC is created by a team of top crypto developers who love soccer and are tired of the interference of capital power on soccer stars and tournament arrangements in the past. They believe that among many soccer events, the most important part that carries a soccer event is not the players, the teams, nor the event organizers, but the audience and fans who participate in this event. A tournament is not only about sharing the excitement and thrill to the fans, but also about direct and effective participation and value sharing.
(1) Decentralized Guessing
The WWCC team believes that WWCC will be a comprehensive Web3 platform for all fans to participate and share, and that WWCC respects the contribution of every member who participates in voting and guessing. With the concept of Web3.0, WWCC rewards all users who contribute to the platform with platform points, which can be exchanged for platform coins (contribution value is VPB points, 1 contribution value = 1 VPB)
1、When users vote, each vote gets 1VPB
User A invites User B to vote, and User B gets 0.5VPB for every vote User B casts.
2、 When users participate in the competition, they can also get VPB.(specific ratio to be determined)
3、Users trading NFT, also can get VPB.(specific ratio to be determined)
On this platform, every participant can directly participate in the sharing economy of every soccer match, and get the rewards and dividends of every exciting match in a fair and transparent way. To this end, WWCC builds an innovative web3 sharing economy between the football stars of each club and their fans, inviting the football stars to achieve mutual interaction and empowerment with their fans at zero distance. In the future, fans can participate in the management and investment of each player and national team through participation in DAO, allowing you to truly participate in a championship contest through a new way of loving soccer. Voting with your favorite athletes and clubs, the WWCC team uses decentralized smart contract editing to present fans with an open and transparent feast of luxury soccer betting. Users will pre-vote for this Qatar World Cup winning team and the Golden Ball Award one month before the World Cup kicks off. The voting method is BNB on-chain public address betting.
In WWCC’s betting system for each race, member fans bet on BNB online to guess the win, loss and score, and participating betting users are rewarded with platform points, which can be exchanged for platform coins.
(2) WWCC DAO
WWCC will make every effort to build a web3 soccer guessing game ecology with no data boundaries and circulating assets, and create a crypto-economic soccer-like meta-universe multi-chain interaction platform to establish wwcc dao. wwcc dao will be the world’s first dao organization with soccer clubs as autonomous self-care co-builders, which provides a customized NFT token issuance mechanism to help teams or organizations issue NFT tokens and provide a dedicated trading venue and fan operation platform for team or organization to participate and make decisions on club affairs. wwcc dao will achieve a multi-win situation, for teams it provides tools to operate fans and for fans to participate and make decisions on club affairs. It provides a dedicated trading venue and fan operation platform for NFT token holders to participate and make decisions on club affairs. wwcc dao will achieve a multi-win situation, for teams, it provides tools to operate fans, and for fans, they have a channel to invest in the team and the right to make decisions on certain affairs. By spontaneously investing in supporting a star team through DAO, soccer clubs have completed voting through the Web3 voting platform, which is a big step towards further democratization of governance within soccer clubs .
Web3’s soccer feast will not be absent from the collection and trading of NFT. When the World Cup meets NFT, limited edition and ip value will be able to send big, usually the platform will be some kind of privileged value empowered to a nft to be speculated, but often can not escape the problem of the value of the final liquidity becomes slow, the high value nft collected by the purchaser has a price but no market situation often happens. For this reason WWCC first invention casting NFT while issuing equivalent Token Web3NFT comprehensive platform, which is a new nft price automatic market making system, wwcc innovative proposed NFT and coins with the same right concept, that is, the platform issued NFT and Token can be replaced in the nft trading system, the NFT can be destroyed through smart contracts can destroy the NFT, destroy the NFT This means that every NFT you buy in wwcc will have the anchor of the value of the token, the token’s performance in the secondary market will directly link the value of the NFT fluctuations, imagine, your hand collection of NFT cards, the price will no longer remain unchanged, instead, it has more value investment appreciation space.
wwcc will proceed to issue invitations for cooperation with various national teams and club stars. wwcc will issue NFTs of the stars to retain all the exciting moments of the King of the game, when the stars and the club enjoy the same NFT rights and benefits, and users holding NFTs, also enjoy NFT rights and benefits.
(4) Metaverse and Foundation
The WWCC team will redefine the concept of soccer metaverse. WWCC is trying to use the micro zero-delay camera wearable system developed by the team to try out in wwcc’s official player jerseys, presenting unparalleled live matches for club members with the player’s first visual system combined with ar, and supporting WWCC’s decentralized guessing system, allowing fans to fully participate in a new way. Wwcc will not only serve the global soccer fans, but also the WWCC fund will be established at the opening of the Qatar World Cup, when wwcc will make part of the platform’s profits for the wwcc global soccer development fund. The fund will be operated in an open and transparent manner and will be open to accept donations from other organizations for a long time. WWCC Youth Football Fund will be dedicated to supporting the cultivation and support of youth soccer in economically backward regions of the world and promoting the development of youth soccer talents worldwide. |

Get rid of the stuff you don’t need
The possibility is great that there will be an extensive list of extra possessions to get rid of, especially if your parent is downsizing. I advise getting in touch with nearby charities like Goodwill or a Habitat for Humanity ReStore if you’re looking for gently used products that are still in good condition. These groups provide pick-up services and would be pleased to remove your spare couches, chairs, and other household goods.
Call junk removal service
A fresh start and less clutter await you when you move into a new home!

Almost anything you want to throw away can be accepted by their rubbish removal service, which will dispose of it properly.
Rent a storage unit
Maybe your loved one isn’t quite ready to give up some things. Or they intend to transmit them to subsequent generations. Whatever the cause, you might need to hire a storage facility to house the remains of their possessions. Storage facilities offer a safe, practical, and simple-to-access choice for individuals who also need a temporary place to store belongings while relocating.
Make a detailed plan of every step of the move
You should have a plan for the entire procedure when it comes to the actual transfer. Set out times on a calendar to make certain decisions, starting with choosing a location. This applies from the time you’ll start packing until the day you intend to move to a new location. Once you’ve decided about their new residence, you may begin planning how your loved ones’ new home will look.
Involve the whole family to help your elderly parents move from Durham to Holly Springs

According to AARP, sedans, crossover SUVs, and minivans are the best vehicles for transporting an older person.
Find a new doctor
When relocating an aging family member, healthcare should come first. You must assist the senior in finding a new doctor as soon as feasible if they are relocating to a new city or state. I suggest making an appointment with a doctor in the new city by contacting them a few months before the relocation. Be careful to inform your loved one’s existing physician about the change as well. Medications refills should also be transferred to a pharmacy close to their new residence.
Moving an elderly family member to a new house across the country can be difficult. Many situations call for a senior parent to be relocated from their current residence.

Negative numbers appear when measuring temperatures and many more real life situations, so make sure your child or pupil is well prepared by using the resources available on Cazoom Maths.
The Real Life Applications of Negative Numbers
Many students question why learning about negative numbers is important, citing the reasoning that negative numbers of objects simply cannot exist.
Their argument is that it is not possible to have -1 apple, which would be correct, however this does not mean that there are no possible uses for negative numbers in real life. Here are a few examples of when negative numbers will be useful.
Negative Numbers in Everyday Life
The temperature unit Celsius places zero at the point where water freezes.
Anything below 0C is represented by a negative number, to differentiate between temperatures above freezing point and below freezing point. When temperatures are given as negative numbers on a weather report, this tells viewers that it is likely to be icy outdoors and that they should take extra care while driving. Negative temperatures are also displayed on food packaging to advise buyers what temperature they should store frozen items.
Importance of Learning Negative Numbers
Negative numbers are frequently used on bank statements.
When the bank account holder has spent less money than they have in their account, the final balance at the end of the statement will be displayed as a positive number. However, when someone spends more money than they have, this number will be displayed as a negative number. Understanding how negative numbers work is important in order to work out how much you owe the bank, so it is important to prepare students well for this situation by using negative numbers worksheets throughout their education. |
- Google's latest Android "choice screen" auction results show Microsoft's Bing was the main winner across most major European markets.
- The process was introduced last year to appease EU regulators following a $5 billion antitrust fine on Google over Android abuses.
- DuckDuckGo, which now features in just four markets, says the auctions are "fundamentally rigged by Google to benefit Google."
LONDON — Google is still engaged in anti-competitive practices in the mobile search market, according to its smaller competitors, who claim a record antitrust fine from the European Union has done little to reduce the tech giant's dominance.
The company announced late Monday the results of a quarterly auction to decide the winners of its so-called "choice screen," which lets Android users in Europe pick their default search engine when setting up their smartphone. The process was introduced last year to appease EU antitrust regulators following their 4.3 billion euro ($5 billion) fine on Google over unfair practices related to its mobile operating system.
Search engines have to bid to be included among four options — including Google — that consumers choose from during setup. Smaller search engines object to having to pay Google for the right to be considered.
Google's latest auction results show that Microsoft was the main winner across most major European markets, with its Bing search engine securing a spot in the U.K., Germany, France and 10 other countries. Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo, which has previously found success with the bidding process, this time features in just four markets — Bulgaria, Croatia, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
"Despite DuckDuckGo being robustly profitable since 2014, we have been priced out of this auction because we choose to not maximize our profits by exploiting our users," the company wrote in a blog post.
"In practical terms, this means our commitment to privacy and a cleaner search experience translates into less money per search. This means we must bid less relative to other, profit-maximizing companies."
"The current remedy is not a remedy at all — it is fundamentally rigged by Google to benefit Google. The Commission has said they have been waiting on data to act: such data is now available. To expedite this process, we are sending the Commission our data that demonstrates exactly how the current process inevitably eliminates DuckDuckGo."
Germany's Ecosia, a search engine that invests its profits into planting trees, also lost out in the auction. It won a spot in just one small market, Slovenia. Google commands an overwhelming majority of the mobile search market in Europe, with its Android system running on almost 75% of the world's smartphones.
"We've long asserted that this pay-for-play model would force out purpose-driven businesses from the Android platform, and here is the proof of that," said Ecosia CEO Christian Kroll. "Ecosia is the biggest Europe-based search engine, yet users can barely access us in Android via the auction screen."
French alternative provider Qwant — which was also included in only one country, Luxembourg — told CNBC that, "through this auction process, Google continues to hinder access to the mobile search market." It's worth noting however that some lesser-known players, like PrivacyWall and info.com, did make the cut in the latest auction.
Google maintains that the auction process "allows search providers to decide what value they place on appearing in the choice screen and to bid accordingly." The company says it is designed to ensure that no search engine is prioritized over another and that the results are determined through competitive bidding.
"Android provides people with unprecedented choice in deciding which applications they install, use and set as default on their devices," a Google spokesperson told CNBC. "In developing the choice screen for Europe, we carefully balanced providing users with yet more choice while ensuring that we can continue to invest in developing and maintaining the open-source Android platform for the long-term."
A European Commission spokesperson told CNBC: "We have been discussing the choice screen mechanism with Google, following relevant feedback from the market, in particular in relation to the presentation and mechanics of the choice screen and to the selection mechanism of rival search providers."
"The Commission is committed to a full and effective implementation of the decision," the spokesperson added. "We will continue monitoring closely the implementation of the choice screen mechanism."
Margrethe Vestager, the bloc's top antitrust official, has made a name for herself by trying to rein in Google and other internet giants when it comes to anti-competitive practices. She suffered a major loss earlier this year when the EU's general court ruled the Commission failed to prove that the Irish government gave an unfair tax advantage to Apple. The EU has since appealed that ruling.
Google has so far been hit with three antitrust fines from the EU amounting to more than $9 billion, and is contesting each one through court appeals. The other two fines focus on the company's shopping comparison service and advertising. A fourth case is said to target the company's jobs search tool.
News of Google's latest Android auction — the company's third so far — favoring Microsoft over smaller players comes as the U.S. Department of Justice readies a lawsuit against the firm following its antitrust investigation into allegations that Google favors its own businesses, such as YouTube, in search results. |

Atlético Madrid have offered the Wanda Metropolitano to Rayo Majadahonda until January as they embark on their first journey in the Segunda.
The club from Madrid play at Atlético’s Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda — los rojiblancos’ reserves play there. The ground is not fit, however, to host second division games and they need an alternative.
Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has made the Wanda Metropolitano available to the side at a cost of €25,000 per game, which given broadcast rights, is very reasonable.
The Community of Madrid is home to six professional grounds including A Stadium Called Wanda: Santiago Bernabéu, Coliseum Alfonso Pérez (Getafe), Estadio de Vallecas (Rayo Vallecano), Butarque (Leganés) and Santo Domingo (Alcorcón). Madrid will have a whopping five teams in LaLiga next season, meaning several of these stadiums will be in use next season. |
Taste, also called gustation, and smell, also called olfaction, are the most interconnected senses in that both involve molecules of the stimulus entering the body and bonding to receptors. Smell lets an animal sense the presence of food or other animals—whether potential mates, predators, or prey—or other chemicals in the environment that can impact their survival. Similarly, the sense of taste allows animals to discriminate between types of foods. While the value of a sense of smell is obvious, what is the value of a sense of taste? Different tasting foods have different attributes, both helpful and harmful. For example, sweet-tasting substances tend to be highly caloric, which could be necessary for survival in lean times. Bitterness is associated with toxicity, and sourness is associated with spoiled food. Salty foods are valuable in maintaining homeostasis by helping the body retain water and by providing ions necessary for cells to function. |
Recently onegoodmove, a site I like a lot, posted an excerpt from a book called The Little Book of Atheist Spirituality. It was called “Six Reasons to be an Atheist” and seemed all right at first, until I got to number five…
- The weakness of the opposing arguments, the so-called proofs of God’s existence
- Common experience: If God existed, he should be easier to see or sense.
- My refusal to explain something I cannot understand by something I understand even less.
- The enormity of evil.
- The mediocrity of mankind.
- Last but not least, the fact that God corresponds so perfectly to our wishes that there is every reason to think he was invented to fulfill them, at least in fantasy; this makes religion an illusion in the Freudian sense of the term.
No, no, no. Also no, and no. If you think mankind is mediocre, you’re an idiot. Please shut up and go be mediocre yourself in a far-off corner. Humanity mediocre? Give us a fucking break. Monstrous, yes. Insane, yes. Heroic, too. Self-indulgent. Idiotic. Brilliant. Clever. Imaginative. Godlike. Wormlike. Evil. Good.
All of the above aspects of humanity, as paradoxical and maddening they are, are real. We’ve done terrible things. We’ve also done amazing things. But only the most bland and pessimistic moron, who has never understood anything about the passions and ideas and fears and visions that drive us, would think humanity to be mediocre.
So yes, many people believe in God because they’re afraid of death. That doesn’t give you the right to feel superior because you’re not. Yes, it’s great that you can look death in the eye like that. I truly admire that. But if you think that the mind that posits an all-knowing and all-loving being in response to the fear of death is mediocre… then you have no imagination, and no perception, and I’m sad for you. Yes, the Bible is full of bullshit. But it is also filled with writings and thoughts of amazing beauty and depth, not to speak of the works it has inspired. Religion gave us the Inquisition but it also gave us much in the way of visions and dreams and poetry that we would never have had otherwise, and I pity the small-minded fools who cannot see that. A distaste for dogma, blindness and fanaticism is a good thing, in fact a necessary thing in these times of intellectual and social decline; but fashionable misanthropy and snobbishness have as little to do with reason and logic and the principles of thought as the Democrats have with Democracy, or the Republicans with republicanism.
Re-reading the list, only points 1, 3 and 4 make any sense; the rest are extremely flawed. Texts such as this one (much like Richard Dawkins’ work) mean well but are ultimately pretty damn shallow and illogical. Religion is a complex issue, and should be treated as such. |

The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (2 Timothy 4:18)
What kind of safety are you after? What will it take to make you feel safe? The apostle Paul was confident that the Lord will rescue him from ‘every evil deed’ and ‘bring me safely’ into His heavenly kingdom. Does this mean no suffering? Is this what Paul means in the verse above? Does ‘rescue’ and ‘safely’ mean no troubles at all? Does it mean that Christians will never be hurt or injured or even killed? Not at all. In 2 Corinthians chapter 11 Paul describes his ‘safe’ trip to heaven as anything but safe! He says he was imprisoned, had countless beatings – often near to death – he was beaten with thirty nine lashes five times, beaten with rods three times, stoned, shipwrecked, adrift at sea, often been in constant danger from rivers, robbers, his own people, betrayals, and gone hungry and thirsty without food and exposed to cold. Is this what it looks like to be ‘brought safely’ into His heavenly kingdom? And bear in mind that after Paul wrote this verse he was martyred during the reign of the Emperor Nero! Paul entered His heavenly kingdom by being killed! Where’s the ‘safely’ into His heavenly kingdom? What Paul means is that through it all, through all the sufferings and troubles we are still totally and completely safe. No matter how bad it feels, no matter how much we are suffering, no matter how scared we are, the fact is that we are completely safe. The Lord will rescue us from every evil deed. Evil deeds will never stop us entering His heavenly kingdom. True, evil deeds can destroy our bodies. But Jesus said, “Don’t fear those who can only kill the body.” Why? Because even being killed will not stop us from being brought safely into His heavenly kingdom. Stop being afraid of your fears. As a Christian, you are safe. Even the worst suffering will not endanger your entry into his heavenly kingdom. Why is this true? Because the Lord’s glory is at stake. It is to His glory that we will be rescued from every evil deed and brought safely into His heavenly kingdom. Imagine for a moment if one of God’s children didn’t make it into His heavenly kingdom. Will we be able to praise Him and give Him the glory for all eternity knowing full well that the Father lost one of His children? God is not a 99% brilliant Father. He is a Perfect Father. Not one of His little ones will be lost. Not one. He will rescue you from every evil deed and bring you safely into His heavenly kingdom. PRAY asking God to show you that you are totally safe. His reputation depends on it. Ask Him to help you not to worry about suffering and troubles. They can’t touch you. |

How to Create a Trendy Graphic Liner Look Using Our Pro-Favorite Cake Eyeliner
Graphic liner is the must-try bold trend for spring! With unlimited possibilities to unleash your inner artist, graphic liner allows you to play around with color, shape, negative space, and more. In this look, resident MUD artist Amber Sanchez used our long-lasting, water-activated Black Cake Eyeliner to layer and create a unique, alternative look. Our Cake Eyeliner is a pro-favorite and effortlessly achieves both super fine lines for everyday wear as well as thicker lines for more intense dramatic looks. Check out the step-by-step tutorial below to learn how to re-create this popular look.
- Black Cake Eyeliner
- #100 Eyeliner Brush, #210 Angle Liner Brush, or #900 Round Liner Brush for a precise, even application
- Eyelash #107
Step 1: Start from the tear duct and create a traditional winged liner look using our Black Cake Eyeliner. Don’t forget to hug the lash line!
Step 2: From the outer corner of your eye where your winged liner begins, use a #100 Eyeliner Brush, #210 Angle Liner Brush, or #900 Round Liner Brush and Black Cake Eyeliner to create quick, horizontal brush strokes using minimal product. The lines should look like a pencil sketch. Be careful not to extend them too far beyond your wing. Don’t worry about it being messy, that’s the idea!
Step 3: Use the same method to apply a few quick, short brush stokes vertically over the horizontal lines you just created. If you brush starts to dry out too much, add more water and re-activate the Cake Eyeliner.
Step 4: Create a small graphic line on the inner corner of your lower lash line to balance out the look.
Step 5: Curl your lashes and apply our Eyelash #107

Hoping to lose some weight? All you have to do is stand tall, and listen up! Trying to get into shape and lose weight after 50 just got a whole lot easier. We spoke with Stephanie Thomas, a personal trainer on Fyt, who breaks down some of the best standing exercises for faster weight loss after 50. You don’t even need to roll out your yoga mat for these exercises, although you will need a pair of dumbbells for some. Working out to get into better shape is in your near future.
“Standing exercises are great for toning the entire body. I always encourage my clients to practice each weighted exercise without weights to become familiar with the form. Once comfortable, begin to incorporate weights into the exercises,” Thomas tells us. “Standing exercises can be beneficial while looking to lose weight because the whole body—especially the core—is engaged. Standing can help increase a layer of muscle throughout your body and help burn fat.”
The reason why you will love this standing workout is, it’s kind of a no-excuses routine. The reason why? You can do it in the comfort of your home, office, or even while you’re traveling. So listen up, and get ready to explore the below standing exercises for faster weight loss after 50. And when you’re finished, don’t miss out on these 5 Standing Exercises Women Should Do Daily To Stay Fit, Firm & Toned.
Start off by doing some high knees. Stand tall, and activate your core. Then, bring your left knee up to your core until your thigh becomes parallel to the floor. Quickly switch legs as you bring your left leg down to the floor and raise your right knee toward your midsection. Perform three sets of 30- to 60-second reps.
The standing side crunch begins in a hip-width stance. Your hands should be placed at the back of your head with bent elbows. Bend your torso to the right until your elbow is just a few inches away from your ribs. Return to the start position, and repeat the motion on your left side. Perform three sets of 12 reps.
Another way to perform the standing side crunch is by starting with your left hand on your left hip. Bring your right arm overhead. Crunch to your right side by bringing your right elbow down to meet your right knee. Repeat on the opposite side.
Begin this movement by holding dumbbells in both hands. Raise your right leg behind you as you lower your chest toward the floor, keeping your left foot grounded. Make sure your glutes and core are activated as the weight is lowered to shin level, keeping a little bend in your left knee. Use control to lift both dumbbells back to the position you started in, and bring your raised leg back to the ground. Repeat the same motion on your other side. Perform three sets of 12 reps.
For dumbbell side bends, stand tall with a dumbbell in your right hand. Press your hips to your left side as you lower the weight until it’s above the side of your right knee. Gradually return to the starting position to complete your first rep. Make sure your core and obliques stay activated during the movement. Perform three sets of 10 reps for each side.
Start with both feet together and your arms at the sides of your body. Then, quickly jump your feet out so they’re wider than hip-width, and raise your arms overhead. In another quick motion, jump your legs back in to the position you started in as you lower your arms. Perform four sets of 25 reps. |

Intense Djibouti diplomatic activity in the last week of August, with the aim of strengthening some of the main regional prerogatives of interest to the small republic in the Horn of Africa.
On August 30, Djibouti’s Foreign Ministry expressed its “deepest regret” over Algeria’s decision to break off diplomatic relations with Morocco, hoping for a quick solution to the crisis. Morocco and Algeria, defined as “brother countries” by the Djibouti government, share, according to Djibouti, the interest in promoting African stability and the Arab world.
The position expressed by Djibouti, although conciliatory, is in line with that of Morocco and its main international partners, including the United States.
On August 31, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Djiboutian President Ismail Omar Guelleh had a telephone conversation to discuss the main issues of bilateral interest. Although no indiscretions were leaked about the conversation, it is clear that security issues related to the evolution of the conflict in Tigray and, especially, the expansion of the conflict in the regional state of Afar, without a shadow of a doubt constituted the central pare of this conversation.
The following day, instead, the new Ethiopian ambassador in the country, Abdi Mahmoud Ibe, presented his credentials to the Djibouti Foreign Ministry. To receive them the director general of protocol, Faisal Alie.
Also on August 31, instead, the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister, Sheikh Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, received the Djiboutian ambassador Mohammad Ali Moumin for official greetings at the end of his mandate in the country. The strong ties between the two countries and the growing profile of cooperation were reaffirmed on the occasion. |

When you go to buy fresh blueberries, look for ones that are firm, dry, plump and smooth-skinned, with a silvery surface bloom and no leaves or stems. Size isn't an indicator of maturity but color is-berries should be deep purple-blue to blue-black. Reddish berries aren't ripe, but you can use them in cooking. Avoid blueberries that look soft or shriveled or have any signs of mold. If you see juice stains in a container of blueberries, it means the fruit might be bruised.

Q: Why are custom plushies so expensive?
A: Custom plushies are priced by the time and skill it takes to create one. There are materials and utility costs as well as the labour and skill level of the artist.
Q: Why should I buy a sewing pattern instead of drafting my own?
A: Buying a sewing pattern instead of drafting it yourself can save a lot of time and money. It takes a certain amount of skill to draft a pattern and it usually needs to be tested a few times. Plus the cost of materials from said testing can add up.

Version 84 of Microsoft Edge has finally arrived in the stable channel. This release is bringing improvements for full-screen mode, the Collections feature, and more. Here’s a look at what you need to know.
We’ll start first with the new stuff. Microsoft says that Edge now provides full-screen mouse support when in full-screen mode, to access the address bar, and other items. In addition, users can now add custom nicknames to saved debit or credit cards. Finally, with Collections, Microsoft has added the ability to leave notes on Collections, and change the background color of notes. You can have a look below for other improvements and new features.
- Read Aloud for PDF lets users listen to PDF content while carrying out other tasks that may be important for them
- Now you can save an edit made to a PDF back to the file instead of saving a copy each time you edit the PDF.
- This version of Microsoft Edge provides improved site list download times for Internet Explorer mode. We’ve reduced download delay for the Internet Explorer mode site list to 0 seconds
- Microsoft Edge now allows users to sign-into the browser when it’s “run as administrator” on Windows 10.
- TLS/1.0 and TLS/1.1 are disabled by default.
- Microsoft Edge now enables Translation in the Immersive Reader. When a user opens the Immersive Reader view, they get the option to translate the page to their desired language.
In addition to the new features, Microsoft has also added support for The Storage Access API. Developers will also see some new DevTools updates, including support for customizing keyboard shortcuts to match VS Code and viewing the DevTools in high contrast. Of course, there are new policies too, for a total of 7. We invite you to read more about those here, as well as the other new things for developers and security updates.
Today is the first major version 84 release in the Stable Channel, but you can expect subsequent updates to follow later on. Version 83 of Microsoft Edge received a total of 8 patches after its initial release to Stable, so you can expect more of the same here, as Microsoft is always working to improve Edge. In fact, security researchers recently found that it beats out Chrome and Firefox when it comes to preventing and catching malware. |
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System
Each spring, most students in California participate in the statewide testing program, which is the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System. The tests in the CAASPP System provide information to teachers, parents/guardians, and students about students' progress and readiness for college and career. In grades 3-8 and grade 11, most students take the Smarter Balanced online tests for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. However, students who have a significant cognitive disability (as designated in their Individualized Education Program, also known as "IEP") are eligible to take the California Alternate Assessments (CAAs).
California students in grades 5 and 8 will take the online CAST Science test, which is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. For high school, the CAST will be administered to students in grade 11 and 12.
The state no longer mails home student score reports. Your student's electronic Student Score Report (SSR) can be obtained by logging into your Parent Portal Aeries account.
Schools in the Tustin Unified School District establish their own CAASPP assessment dates within the months of March through May. For specific testing dates at your child's school, please contact the school office.
The California Department of Education (CDE) has developed several resources to help students and parents understand the grade expectations of the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments.
- The Parent Guides to the Smarter Balanced Assessments (in English and Spanish) are posted on the CDE’s CAASPP web page, under Students and Parents. Separate guides have been developed for each of the three grade spans tested: grades 3–5, grades 6–8, and grade 11. Each guide explains the grade-level expectations for students in ELA and mathematics and provides sample test items.
- The practice and training tests, which can be found on the CDE’s Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests web page, can help parents and students experience the type of test items that students will encounter on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments. Answers to the practice test and scoring rubrics for the performance tests are posted on the Test Administrator (TA) Resources for the Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests web page.
- Smarter Balanced Parents and Student Page Provides access to fact sheets, questions and answers, and resources in English and Spanish.
- Understanding the CAASPP Student Score Reports Page provides guides to help interpret the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) student score report.
CAASPP Parent Exemption Information
Pursuant to California Education Code Section 60615, parents/guardians may annually submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all of the CAASPP assessments.
If you have any questions regarding your child's participation in statewide testing, please contact your school principal.

Shingles is a condition involving an outbreak of a rash or blisters on the skin. It is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. People who have had chicken pox in the past are at risk for developing shingles later because the virus remains inactive in certain nerve cells of the body.
A person must already have had a case of chicken pox in order to develop shingles. Unfortunately, not everyone knows for certain if they have had chicken pox.
- About one in three people in the U.S. will develop shingles.
- About half of all shingles cases occur in people 60 years or older.
- There is evidence to suggest that a weakened immune system may cause the virus to break out of its inactive state, multiply and move along nerve fibers to the skin.
People are at risk for shingles if they:
- Have a weakened immune system (ex: people with cancer, HIV, taking steroids)
- Are over the age of 50
- Have been ill
- Are experiencing trauma
- Are under stress
Signs and symptoms
So ““ how do you know if you have shingles? The disease usually starts as a painful rash in a single stripe on the left or right side of the face or body. Here are other symptoms to watch for:
- Pain, itching or tingling will happen in the area one to five days before the rash develops.
- Blisters on the rash that scab over in seven to ten days and clear up within two to four weeks.
- Fever, headache, chills and upset stomach developing with the rash.
You ““ or your loved one ““ cannot pass shingles to a person who has not had chicken pox. It is not likely to happen, but the shingles virus can be spread. The virus is spread through direct contact with rash blisters, not through casual contact, sneezing or coughing. |
Bernette - Coverstitch Feet Kit
Included Presser Feet:
Standard presser foot with clear sole - The clear sole affords the perfect view of your sewing project. It is ideal for decorative seams which have been previously tailor-tacked, as well as for positioning at the beginning or end of a seam.
Belt-loop foot - The belt-loop foot is used to fold bias or straight binding, which it then quickly and easily turns into straps or belt loops with the cover- or chainstitch.
Hemmer foot - The hemmer foot quickly and easily sews even seams with a depth of 2.5 cm. A narrow or wide coverstitch can be used to neaten the cut edge.
Binder attachment for unfolded bias tape - The binder attachment creates practical edge finishes with unfolded bias tape in a width of 40 to 50 mm. Self-cut bias tape or cross grain knit strips can also be used for a professional look.
Cording foot - This presser foot guides decorative and fine cords of up to 2 mm thickness exactly and precisely below the coverstitch seam as they are being sewn on. Alternatively, it can also be used to create and insert piping.
Lace foot - For sewing lace, trim and tapes onto hems. The bottom edge of the fabrics is simultaneously neatened with a narrow or wide coverstitch, creating a flat joining seam.
Hemmer and lace foot - This presser foot sews tapes or lace below a fabric edge, which is simultaneously folded to form a hem. A coverstitch neatens both edges at the same time, whilst the material is folded by 1 cm. |
Deloitte Ramps Up Google Cloud Partnership To Support SAP Migrations
‘Most clients are looking for skin in the game from the partner community and the technology partner, so…we've put our resources to bear to be able to do that for clients in a much more scaled way,’ says Tom Galizia, Deloitte Consulting’s senior technology partner and lead commercial partner for its Alphabet/Google alliance.
Deloitte Consulting is ramping up its Google Cloud partnership with new solutions targeting large-scale SAP workload migrations in a global “major market thrust.”
It's part of a much more concerted SAP effort in the enterprise space under Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, now that the cloud provider has gone through multiple certification processes that allow it to scale SAP instances to market-leading sizes, according to Tom Galizia, Deloitte’s senior technology partner and lead commercial partner for its Alphabet/Google alliance.
Deloitte is a launch partner for Google Cloud’s Cloud Acceleration Program, an evolution of its Lighthouse program launched this year with systems integrators to streamline customers’ SAP data and application migrations to the cloud.
“We will jointly invest in clients in a much more material way,” Galizia told CRN yesterday in London, prior to the start of the Google Cloud Next ’19 UK conference. “Anything that might be a potential hindrance for a client considering doing it -- or if they want an articulated proof point, both technically and/or if there's a business transformation agenda -- we now collectively have created a pool of investments so we can go into that client and actually prove it out. Most clients are looking for skin in the game from the partner community and the technology partner, so…we've put our resources to bear to be able to do that for clients in a much more scaled way.”
Deloitte has launched “Reimagine Everything… Anywhere,” a portfolio of SAP cloud services enabled by Google Cloud that includes best practices to accelerate SAP S/4 transformation and an SAP-specific, application programming interface library on Apigee for SAP-to-anywhere integration. Deloitte also is embracing TensorFlow and BigQuery to provide intelligent applications powered by Google Cloud machine learning and advanced data insight.
The push will be global, according to Galizia.
“It is very targeted at specific countries with specific clients and specific SAP workloads that we want to go after together, because we feel that Google, from a technology perspective, is well-positioned to be successful there,” he said. “Now that they've got those certifications, we're really able to go into financial services, life sciences, core manufacturing in terms of heavy engineering orientation, where there's heavy reliance on your infrastructure and the analytic capabilities.”
Accenture, Atos and HCL also are partners in the Cloud Acceleration Program along with Capgemini, DXC Technologies, Hitachi oXya, Infosys, NTT, TCS and Wipro.
Deloitte’s Google Cloud Relationship
A Google Premier Partner, Deloitte formed a strategic alliance with Google Cloud in 2017.
“It's been a rapid, ramping enterprise-ready experience,” Galizia said. “In the early innings, the coverage model wasn't as great. (Former Google Cloud CEO Diane Greene's) legacy was putting in place these technical underpinnings that now Thomas and his leadership team are taking advantage of. It's been a whole different day. Look at the velocity (with which) he's brought in senior leaders from every major company you can imagine that are enterprise-grade.”
Galizia pointed to Kurian’s hiring of Robert Enslin, Google Cloud president of global customer operations, from SAP; John Jester, vice president of global customer operations, from Microsoft; and Chris Ciauri, president of Google Cloud for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, from Salesforce.
“The people we're interfacing with are three-decade-old, two-decade-old, enterprise-grade executives,” Galizia said. “They really understand how to manage the space and manage partners or leverage partners.”
Deloitte also is strengthening its Google Cloud relationship with new solutions for procurement spending optimization for enterprises, and the storage and sharing of data to improve biomedical and clinical research, and a commercial property database platform for property insurers.
The collaboration “combines Deloitte’s expertise in business transformation with Google Cloud’s leading cloud technologies in areas like AI (artificial intelligence), ML (machine learning) and analytics to deliver transformative solutions to our joint customers,” said Kevin Ichhpurani, Google Cloud’s global ecosystem vice president.
Deloitte and Google Cloud are rolling out CognitiveSpend, a new AI-powered solution to help supply chain-reliant companies’ finance and procurement teams gain visibility into their third-party spending and rapidly identify cost savings.
The new cloud-native app, launched in beta earlier this year, is targeted at enterprise clients.
“Fortune 500 clients are constantly trying to understand that spend better, manage that spend and identify opportunities for cost savings,” Galizia said. “If you're a global company, and you've got multiple parts of your business that are buying from the same place, and you haven't pulled that information together to figure out how do you take advantage of your buyer power…from a pricing perspective, when you look over the history of different contracts, you can do better. You can do better by leaning towards one vendor versus another, or you can use contractual data to go back to a vendor and ask for a more market-competitive pricing scenario.”
Data And Biomedical And Clinical Research
Deloitte also has developed solutions to more easily store, analyze and share large biomedical and clinical research data sets at the exabyte scale.
The solutions, which run on Google Cloud Platform and leverage Google Cloud’s Healthcare API (application programming interface), AI, ML and analytics, answer Google Cloud’s call for partners to develop differentiated offerings in industry verticals, Galizia said.
“(This) a combination of government, public sector and life sciences coming together,” he said. “It's a significant partnership that involves elements of the Alphabet family.”
Galizia declined to name the other Alphabet companies involved. Alphabet, which owns Google, also owns Verily Life Sciences and Calico Life Sciences in the healthcare space.
“At the highest level, it's about solving diseases faster,” Galizia said. “We research a disease, and that data sits, in many cases, in silos in organizations. This is actually providing a platform that allows access to, in a compliant way, that data and research, and allows collaborators to better collaborate.”
Property Insurers Solution
Deloitte and Google are creating a new AI-driven platform to help property insurers view data on commercial properties around the world and better conduct risk assessments.
Using third-party, open data and Google Cloud technologies, the solution will create a digital footprint of commercial properties to help insurers in underwriting.
“What (Google has) with Maps, what they have with a variety of different data sets that are available, you can actually do better assessing of commercial real estate that way, than if you were to have a much more limited set of data repositories that you are tapping into to do that evaluation,” Galizia said. “With Google Earth, you have visibility from the top-down on what's going on, and that gets refreshed with certain cycle times. With Street View, you've got different cycle times that go through that.”
And although Galizia acknowledges it’s a little far-reaching at the moment, he anticipates providing the ability to do spot assessing with other vehicles, such as drones, and applying AI on top of that.
“In a way, you're covering a span of a building far better than a human ever could,” he said. |

How's This for Random? 5/9 '16
You'll get that awful pun in just a second...
I'm working on (yet another) new illustration project. Or rather, I'm picking up work on an idea I had a while back.
I've been looking at Patreon for a while. I would LOVE to do something that allowed me to make some decent money on illustration stuff.
Here are the problems with that concept:
- I'm not that good. That's not an attempt at some kind of false humility. It's not an attempt to seek praise. It's fact. If you're feeling like jumping to my defense, please don't. Trust that this is an area where I am likely better versed than you. You'll note that I don't tell musicians whether they're good or not. I tell them whether I enjoy what they did. I'm certainly not qualified to say whether or not they're good at what they do. Same concept applies here.
- I'm driven to distraction. I don't know if things would be different if there would be a bajillion dollars on the line. So far, no one has offered me that much. In fact, I've pretty much only ever made $4 per drawing with exceptionally rare exceptions to that rule. Anyway - it's hard for me to stay motivated for anything more than 'quick hit' projects. One or two single character illustrations for a small gaming manual? No problem. The dozens and dozens of drawings for my own card game? Well, how long have I been working on them and they're not done yet?
- I like simple illustration work. This is significantly tied to that last item, but it also deserves its own point. I don't have any great desire to do uber in depth, full colored, fully rendered illustrations with complete backgrounds. The amount of hours required versus the reward (up to this point, we're talking purely personal here - see aforemented low paying gigs) has just not been in my favor.
With all of this in mind, I had a recommendation from someone on Google Plus: Paper Minis.
For those who might not be familiar: Paper minis are kinda what they sound like. You've likely seen the small lead miniatures that some gamers painstakingly paint and use to lay out their table top gaming sessions (think Dungeons and Dragons). Well, you can now buy plastic covers which allow you to take a small drawing (printout) and use that as your character, or in the case of the game master - the NPCs / monsters.
You put the paper minis into a stand - something like this.
Anyway, I thought I might give it a shot. It seems like the kind of thing that works on Patreon: give even a small amount and you get access to all the paper minis that I create (they will come out in sheets (PDFs) that you can print at home). Give a little more, and you'll be entered into monthly(?) drawings to get a free custom drawing. Give a lot? You'll get a custom drawing from me each month.
Dunno. There are probably bugs to be worked out, but I need to start to find them.
Which brings me to the title of this post. I really am ridiculously verbose sometimes.
This guy Bruce Gulke created a program called Tablesmith a long time ago. It allows you to create your own tables (think 'recipe') and randomly generate results from that table.
I love the program and paid for the 'registration key'. Something I very rarely do in this world of exceedingly functional freeware. I think it has uses far outside gaming for folks like writers and concept artists.
I created one to give me some quick descriptions to use for a starting set of characters to be used as the initial set of minis to describe the project to potential Patrons.
Below is a quick screen grab of some of my initial results. |
Narail is a picturesque and rapidly developing city in Bangladesh. It is known for its lush greenery, historic attractions, and modern amenities. The city is also home to some of the best IVF clinics in the country that offer top-notch infertility treatments. In this article, we will provide you with an informative and professional insight on the best IVF clinics in Narail.
Infertility can be a stressful, frustrating, and disheartening experience for couples who are trying to conceive. However, with the right medical intervention and support, infertility can be solved. Infertility treatments such as IVF, IUI, ICSI, and surrogacy have helped millions of couples around the world to achieve a successful pregnancy and become parents. In Narail, there are several reputable clinics that offer these treatments.
When choosing the best IVF clinic in Narail, it is important to consider several factors such as the experience and qualifications of the medical team, the success rate of the clinic, the quality of facilities and equipment, and the level of personalized care. It is also important to choose a clinic that offers a range of infertility treatments so that you can find the best one for your needs.
One important aspect that couples often overlook when they are considering IVF treatments is the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle. It is important to understand that lifestyle and dietary factors can influence fertility and the success of infertility treatments. Here are some do’s and don’ts for a healthy lifestyle and diet during infertility treatments.
1. Eat a diet that is rich in whole grains, protein, fruits, and vegetables.
2. Get enough sleep and rest in between cycles.
3. Exercise regularly, but avoid high-intensity exercise during the treatment.
4. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and fluids.
5. Talk to your doctor about taking prenatal vitamins.
1. Avoid foods that are high in saturated fats, sugar, and salt.
2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoking.
3. Avoid stress and try relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation.
Now let us discuss some of the best food choices for men and women who are undergoing infertility treatments. Nutritious and well-balanced foods play a significant role in promoting fertility and a successful pregnancy.
1. Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli.
2. Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and oatmeal.
3. Berries and fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and oranges.
4. Legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, and kidney beans.
5. Nuts and seeds such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin, and sunflower.
1. Foods rich in antioxidants like berries, tomatoes, and dark chocolate.
2. Zinc-rich foods like oysters, beef, and pork.
3. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish like salmon and tuna.
4. Fruits like bananas and oranges.
5. Vegetables such as red pepper, sweet potato, and kale.
Apart from food and diet, there are several other factors that can influence the success of infertility treatments. Here are some habits and lifestyles that can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
1. Maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly and eating healthy foods.
2. Avoid exposure to toxic substances like chemicals, radiation, and harmful emissions.
3. Monitor your menstrual cycle and be aware of ovulation times.
4. Reduce stress levels by engaging in self-care activities like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
5. Communicate frequently and openly with your partner and healthcare provider.
Now, let us review the various infertility treatments that are offered in the best IVF clinics in Narail.
1. In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – IVF is a fertility treatment that involves taking eggs and sperm from a couple and fertilizing them in a laboratory. The fertilized egg, or embryo, is then transferred to the woman’s uterus to implant and develop. IVF is considered the most effective infertility treatment with success rates ranging from 40 to 50%.
2. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – IUI is a fertility treatment that involves placing sperm directly in a woman’s uterus during ovulation. This treatment is ideal for men with low sperm count or mobility and is less invasive than IVF.
3. Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) – ICSI is a type of IVF that involves injecting a single sperm cell into an egg in a laboratory, thus increasing the chances of fertilization.
4. Surrogacy – Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or individual. This treatment is ideal for couples with infertility, same-sex couples, and women who cannot carry a pregnancy for medical reasons.
Finally, it is important to remember that infertility treatments can be expensive, physically draining, and emotionally challenging. It is vital to seek support from your partner, family, friends, and healthcare provider to help you through the process.
In conclusion, infertility treatments have helped many couples around the world achieve their dream of becoming parents. In Narail, there are several reputable IVF clinics that offer a range of treatments such as IVF, IUI, ICSI, and surrogacy. Choosing the best clinic involves considering several factors such as the experience and qualifications of the medical team, success rates, and personalized care. In addition, adopting a healthy diet, lifestyle, and habits can improve the success of infertility treatments. |
These chilled water buffer vessels tanks increase the capacity of a chilled water system in for example the cooling system or air conditioning system in a large building
This has the effect of stabilising the the return water temperature.
As a result of this, the large store of cool water means the compressor or cooler doesn’t have to cycle so often.
Abbott and co manufacture a range of chilled water buffer vessels both vertical chilled water vessels and horizontal chilled water vessels and with or without baffles.
Frequently these chilled water buffer vessels are built to the requirements of the site, they may be insulated with rockwool.

Former executive director of Collinwood and Nottingham Villages Development Corporation arrested and charged with embezzling $172,000 from the nonprofit
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Ohio
A former executive director of a Cleveland community development corporation was arrested this morning for embezzling more than $172,000 from the Collinwood and Nottingham Villages Development Corporation.
Tamiko Parker, 46, of Cleveland, is scheduled to appear on Thursday at 2 p.m. in U.S. District Court in Cleveland. She has been indicted on one count of theft of federal funds.
Parker served as executive director of Collinwood and Nottingham Villages Development Corporation, a nonprofit organization that was to acquire, develop and lease property on the northeast side of Cleveland.
Parker misused various accounts through a variety of schemes including making unauthorized cash withdrawals, having checks issued to her and using debit and credit cards to pay her personal expenses. This took place between September 2014 through February 2016, according to court documents.
Parker used the community development corporation’s debit card to make purchases at Harley Davidson, the Horseshoe Casino, Victoria’s Secret and in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. She used the community development corporation’s credit card to purchase appliances at Home Depot for her home. Parker collected cash rental payments from tenants of the nonprofit and deposited cash into her personal account, according to court documents.
“This defendant betrayed the trust placed in her by a city and a community,” U.S. Attorney Justin Herdman said. “Instead of using her position to spur redevelopment, she used it as a personal piggy bank to gamble and travel.”
“Ms. Parker stole hundreds of thousands of dollars planned for economic development in the community,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Stephen D. Anthony. “The only thing Ms. Parker was developing was her lavish lifestyle. She will now be held accountable for being a thief.”
“The charges disclosed today prove our continuing resolve to root out fraud and corruption in all forms, especially when the programs involved should have been used to help our neediest families,” said Brad Geary, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Inspector General. “It is our continuing core mission to work with our Federal law enforcement partners and the United States Attorney’s Office to protect the integrity of our housing programs and to take strong action against those who seek to personally benefit from taxpayer-funded grants.”
“Those funds were designated to improve the lives of the residents and business owners in the Collinwood neighborhood,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley.
This case was investigated by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development -- Office of Inspector General. and Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Brian M. McDonough and Carmen Henderson.
If convicted, the sentence in this case will be determined by the Court after consideration of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which depend upon a number of factors unique to each case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the unique characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
An indictment is a charge and not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

New Orleans Treme is not the only Louisiana based hit on HBO. The bigger attraction set in Shreveport and neighboring communities is True Blood of course. I would have thought that ACORN was a natural for Treme, but the more I watch it, the more I realize this is a soundtrack not a series. Yesterday though friends in Florida and California called my attention to the new life that ACORN now has in “zombie politics,” rising from the dead according to Republicans to kill the Housing Trust Fund and to play a role, even if facetious, in the Obama-Cantor debt ceiling set-to in the White House. Perhaps Sookie will soon be wearing an old red ACORN t-shirt soon to bring zombies into the area to help her contend with vampires and now witches. Given the Republican wildness and weirdness everywhere, stranger things are happening all the time, as in Paul Krugman’s phrase because this is the way “crazy smells.”
Here’s from a report by the esteemed National Low Income Housing Coalition:
Bill Eliminating the NHTF Passes Financial Services Subcommittee
The House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) approved a package of bills intended to dismantle the housing GSEs, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, in a Subcommittee markup on Tuesday, July 12. One of the bills, H.R. 2441, introduced by Representative Ed Royce (R-CA), would abolish the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) as well as the Capital Magnet Fund. The bill passed by a vote of 18 to 14, along party lines.
In the markup, Mr. Royce said that the NHTF should be abolished because “the money would subsidize lobbying and campaign related activities” by groups such as the now-defunct ACORN. However, the NHTF statute explicitly prohibits the use of NHTF dollars for political activities, lobbying, counseling, outreach, and project administration.
Financial Services Ranking Member Barney Frank (D-MA) participated in the markup to defend the NHTF, even though he is not on the Subcommittee. Mr. Frank referred to the conversation about ACORN as a “red herring” and clarified that nothing in the NHTF statute empowers ACORN. Subcommittee Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Representative Al Green (D-TX) supported this point and asked that the record reflect this fact.
Oh, yes, they did say that!
The Gawker was clear that the real “behind closed doors” argument between President Obama and House Majority Leader Cantor included this possible Republican scenario by Max Read:
Story “A”: Brave and noble House Majority Leader Eric Cantor entered the nefarious Cave of Taxes, the stronghold of Muslim warlord Barack Hussein Obama. “My friend,” Cantor said, “I will never betray the American people by allowing taxes to be raised on the rich. Even so, I am but a humble congressman, and wish only to do right by my constituents. Perchance we could agree on a smaller package of cuts—say, $1.5 trillion—and vote twice to raise the debt ceiling before 2012? Only if you are so disposed of course.” Obama snarled, and spat upon the ground. “Would you speak to your ‘Ronald Reagan’ this way? I’d rather bring down my presidency than shake hands with a white person like you. Never, you dog,” he said, and, rising, stormed out of the meeting with his troop of ACORN-trained Black Panther bodyguards.
Yep. I’m pretty sure the only thing standing in the way of an ACORN appearance on True Blood is the staging and makeup problem that zombies have. Unfortunately for ACORN’s hopes at a continued presence on the political scene, zombies always look, how can I say this, so Republican. |

Petition to Speaker Of The House: Put America First by Ending Ukraine War Funding and Securing Our Southern Border
Dear Speaker of the House,
We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned American citizens who elected you to prioritize the well-being and security of our great nation. It’s high time we cease federal funding for the war in Ukraine and reallocate those crucial resources to securing our Southern border, a cornerstone of national security.
We Must Secure Our Southern Border
- Strengthen Border Security: According to the most recent Customs and Border Protection (CBP) statistics, over 2.8 million migrants have encountered authorities during this fiscal year alone, surpassing the more than 2.7 million migrants in 2022. Our Southern border is a critical issue that demands immediate and decisive action to prevent illegal immigration, drug and human trafficking, and potential terror threats.
The Case Against Funding Ukraine
- Ambiguous Objectives: Our financial involvement in Ukraine lacks clarity and is depleting crucial resources.
- Distracting National Focus: Our extensive commitment in Ukraine diverts our focus and resources from domestic issues that directly affect American citizens.
- Risk of Provoking Russia: Continued military and financial involvement in Ukraine could potentially escalate tensions with Russia, raising the risk of triggering a larger conflict, possibly even World War III.
By signing this petition, you join us in calling on Speaker Mike Johnson to reallocate federal funding away from the Ukrainian conflict and towards pressing domestic issues, such as securing our Southern border and addressing veteran homelessness.
Let’s hold our elected representatives accountable for putting America first. |
The Unicorn is Down –
But Not Out as Mad Jap and Jesus Imposter Resurrect a Mythical Chopper
Jesus stands next to a unicorn. No, seriously. He does. And he has a sword. With which he is stabbing the unicorn. And of course there’s a rainbow.
Dale Yamada of Mad Jap Kustoms dreamed up the image, and knew it would look good airbrushed onto his new chopper. So he talked to Calgary artist Doug Veness about it, and Veness suggested the unicorn should bleed Skittles. Oh, no, Yamada said — let’s not strain credibility.
Skittles are out, then, but painted a bright white, the Unicorn chopper is still pretty tasty. It’s an anti-image bike — Yamada’s Gabriel to everybody else’s Lucifer. But it turns out that Jesus, or at least someone who resembles his popular image, did in fact slay the Unicorn. Leo Tancreti wears long, unkempt hair and a full beard, and runs Leo’s Speed Shop in North Haven, Connecticut. Yamada flew him to Calgary to help prepare a machine for the upcoming Born Free 4 custom bike show in Los Angeles. Then, while taking a ride on the Unicorn, Tancreti pushed it a little too hard and discovered the bike’s limitations.
“I was more concerned about Leo than the bike,” Yamada says. “Bikes can be fixed.” Tancreti was scratched, but not seriously injured. “Leo killed the Unicorn!” Yamada posted on Facebook.
Quickly the Unicorn will be resurrected. Tancreti soon had the bike apart, with the frame to paint and alloy polished and sissy bar tweaked and sent for chrome plating together with the exhaust. It could be a miracle, but the airbrushed artwork on the hand-formed gas tank suffered no damage. “It’ll be done by Tuesday,” Yamada said. Which is good, because one of his greatest joys is closing shop, kick-starting the Unicorn, and riding. He’ll take three or four days and travel south to Montana, or west into the Rocky Mountains and B.C.’s interior.
Yamada stuffs only essentials in a backpack, and bungie cords two 2-litre cola bottles filled with gasoline and wrapped in a blanket to the sissy bar. At 90 km to a tank, he wouldn’t otherwise have enough fuel for Rogers Pass.
“I ride the shit out of them,” Yamada says of his customs. “And I often end up riding by myself. I usually can’t find anybody who wants to share the same experience. Everybody wants to jump on their brand new bike, and they think they’re going for adventure. But they want to have everything planned out — where we’re going for this day, what we’re going to do, what we’re going to see. I don’t care, I just want to go. The whole point is not knowing what’s ahead, and just experiencing it as you go.
“My best rides are the ones when I have the most trouble. When I break down, or the weather’s shitty.”
Yamada likes the thought of simpler times, hippies and their easy sense of freedom. “It’s all these gay clichés,” he says. “I wasn’t around in that period, but I’d like to think it’s similar to what I do when I jump on the bike and just ride.”
Born in Nanaimo and raised in the Vancouver area, Yamada grew up around custom Harley-Davidson motorcycles. These were machines of the 1970s, and his current builds are echoes of his youth. Yamada was managing a brake and muffler repair shop in 1996, though, when he bought his first bike, a used Suzuki GSX-R750. “I bought a helmet and all my gear at the same time I bought the bike,” Yamada says. “I rode it out of the dealership with all of the price tags still on my stuff. I was so severely hooked. I said this is my life.”
He’d raced BMX and mountain bikes and toyed with cars and 4x4s. But motorcycles had now lit his fuse. “At the first set of lights after riding out of the dealership, a guy on a red Honda CBR900RR nodded at me and said ‘nice bike.’ When the light turned green he took off and did a stand-up wheelie.” Impressed, Yamada learned to pull the same stunt.
“I started learning at the next light,” he laughs. Yamada rode hard on the street, and crashed often. He admits he was out of control when a local mechanic told him to get off the street and onto a track. A 1996 Suzuki GSXR 750, headlight taped and signal lights removed, was his first race bike, which he rode in Portland, Oregon. “I remember being nervous, and I’d crashed during practice,” Yamada says of his “beginner’s” race. “And my friends were there telling me to stop looking down — look ahead; that’s how green I was.” Yet, with 40 other racers, Yamada lapped the field and finished first. “I just pinned it and passed everything I could.”
Yamada did well as a privateer, participating in club events. In 1997 Race City Motorsport Park in Calgary lured him and his wife, Michelle, to the city. His life was working and racing, until 2004 when there was pressure to move up to the Nationals. He couldn’t make it happen, with a young family and a new hot-shot trucking service to operate.
Then, in 2007, he decided to build a custom motorcycle. Although an accomplished mechanic and tuner, Yamada had never constructed a one-off machine. He loosely based his first build on the choppers of his youth: Frisco tank, metal flake paint and chrome.
Just like that, he was in business, filling his garage with TIG welding equipment and milling gear. “I’m not a welder, I’m not a machinist, and I’m not a painter, but I do most everything for myself,” he says. He chose his late father’s nickname for his fledgling chopper shop: the Mad Jap.
More than one custom V-twin had rolled out of his garage, and deposits had been paid on at least six more when, in 2008, Yamada tangled with a car. “I remember the hit, how I flew, everything,” Yamada says. “I remember hearing the fire truck and the ambulance coming, and seeing all of the feet and people around me. And I remember seeing the damage to myself. I’d never felt pain like that before in my life.”
Yamada broke his pelvis in four places, his lower vertebrae (L 5 and 6), and there were multiple compound fractures to his left tibia and fibula. He also suffered serious internal injuries. Doctors told him he was going to lose his lower leg, but he fought to keep it. After he got home, Yamada was in a rough spot, and he was angry. He’d had to return the deposits, and the economy had tanked. Parts were in his stockpile, though, and the only thing Yamada could do was build.
Working from a wheelchair while his leg healed, Yamada crafted two customs, Funkmaster, and Sweet and Sour. He relied on friends to install engines and lift heavy components, and eight months later he was finished. Upon completion, Yamada sold Sweet and Sour to Sean Senos. “That lifted my spirits, and I said, ‘Okay, I can still do this.’ Sean has absolutely no idea what that did for me.”
Four years later, Yamada is in constant pain but he’s got his leg. It’s a little shorter than his right, and he can’t properly shift a motorcycle — he can push down on the lever, but he can’t pull up. That’s why every scooter he builds for himself is equipped with a jockey shift.
This spring, Mad Jap Kustoms moved to a single bay in a northeast Calgary industrial park. Yamada doesn’t miss working from home, and he feels more energized in the new space, even with distractions. “People come by and hang out, and because I live, eat, sleep, and breath motorcycles, they’re all welcome,” he said. “I’ve got guys on sportbikes and bone-stock cruisers stopping in.”
On the benches out back are Harley-Davidson projects. Most are customer bikes, handed over to Yamada for customization. There’s a stock Sportster on one lift. He is crafting mid-controls and installing a belt drive. “I don’t care what kind of bike I’m working on,” says Yamada, pointing to the Sportster, “but I do want someone looking at it to say, ‘Where’d you get those cool mid-controls?’”
In custom builds, Yamada says, the engine is the heart of the project.. He works around fully rebuilt Knuckleheads or Shovelheads. Recently, a customer rolled in a derelict Shovel chopper. Built in the late 1970s or early 1980s, it had no redeaming features that Yamada could see, and he convinced the owner to yank the motor. They’d start fresh.
There are other bikes in for repairs, ones that don’t look anything like the customs he appreciates building and riding. “In the end, who am I to judge what you ride?” Yamada said. “It’s about bikes in general. I really don’t care if it’s about building a full custom, fixing a tire, or changing oil, it’s a bike.” |
In the domain of logical revelation, where interest has no limits and the quest for information is steady, electric administrations stand as the fundamental empowering agents of investigation. “Controlling Investigation” dives into how power fills logical undertakings, from opening the privileged insights of the universe to unwinding the secrets of the littlest particles.
Current logical exploration is complicatedly woven with the strings of power. Research facilities all over the planet murmur with action as electrician services-controlled instruments dissect information, reenact conditions, and lead tests. From molecule gas pedals testing the crucial structure blocks of the universe to telescopes catching the illumination of far off stars, power fills the hardware that progresses how we might interpret the universe.
In fields like cosmology and astronomy, recessed lighting establishment administrations support observatories and space missions that extend the boondocks of information. Telescopes, finders, and correspondence frameworks are completely determined by power, handing-off data from the furthest reaches of the universe back to Earth. This progression of information abilities our investigation of divine peculiarities and our journey to grasp the beginnings of our reality.
Likewise, the domain of molecule physical science owes its encouraging to power. Huge molecule colliders, similar to the Enormous Hadron Collider (LHC), depend on unpredictable electric frameworks to speed up particles to almost the speed of light. The crashes that follow give bits of knowledge into the structure blocks of issue, revealing insight into the texture of the actual universe.
Power’s effect reaches out to the organic sciences, where exceptional imaging procedures, quality sequencing, and computational displaying require significant computational power. Hereditary examination, drug disclosure, and clinical forward leaps are completely determined by the capacity to outfit power to process and dissect immense measures of information.
The domains of topography, natural science, and environment research likewise rely upon electric administrations. Observing stations, information lumberjacks, and remote detecting gadgets controlled by power permit researchers to follow changes in the World’s frameworks and accumulate experiences into complex regular cycles.
Notwithstanding, as logical exploration progresses, the energy requests develop. Finding some kind of harmony between controlling development and limiting ecological effect is a test that specialists and organizations are handling through the coordination of environmentally friendly power sources and energy-productive innovations.
Taking everything into account, “Fueling Investigation” features how power is the undetectable power pushing mankind’s mission for information. The flash lights interest, the channel that associates analysts with information, and the energy that drives advancement. As logical investigation keeps on pushing limits, the organization between electric administrations and logical undertakings stays an unflinching signal directing us toward a more significant comprehension of the universe. |
Judges (RSV) 8
8 1 And the men of Ephraim said to him, "What is this that you have done to us, not to call us when you went to fight with Midian?" And they upbraided him violently. 2 And he said to them, "What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer? 3 God has given into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger against him was abated, when he had said this.
4 And Gideon came to the Jordan and passed over, he and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing. 5 So he said to the men of Succoth, "Pray, give loaves of bread to the people who follow me; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian." 6 And the officials of Succoth said, "Are Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?" 7 And Gideon said, "Well then, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will flail your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers." 8 And from there he went up to Penuel, and spoke to them in the same way; and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered. 9 And he said to the men of Penuel, "When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower." 10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their army, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for there had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword. 11 And Gideon went up by the caravan route east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and attacked the army; for the army was off its guard. 12 And Zebah and Zalmunna fled; and he pursued them and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and he threw all the army into a panic.
13 Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from the battle by the ascent of Heres. 14 And he caught a young man of Succoth, and questioned him; and he wrote down for him the officials and elders of Succoth, seventy-seven men. 15 And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you taunted me, saying, `Are Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are faint?'" 16 And he took the elders of the city and he took thorns of the wilderness and briers and with them taught the men of Succoth. 17 And he broke down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
18 Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "Where are the men whom you slew at Tabor?" They answered, "As you are, so were they, every one of them; they resembled the sons of a king." 19 And he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother; as the LORD lives, if you had saved them alive, I would not slay you." 20 And he said to Jether his first-born, "Rise, and slay them." But the youth did not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth. 21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise yourself, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna; and he took the crescents that were on the necks of their camels.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also; for you have delivered us out of the hand of Midian." 23 Gideon said to them, "I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the LORD will rule over you." 24 And Gideon said to them, "Let me make a request of you; give me every man of you the earrings of his spoil." (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) 25 And they answered, "We will willingly give them." And they spread a garment, and every man cast in it the earrings of his spoil. 26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescents and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and besides the collars that were about the necks of their camels. 27 And Gideon made an ephod of it and put it in his city, in Ophrah; and all Israel played the harlot after it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his family. 28 So Midian was subdued before the people of Israel, and they lifted up their heads no more. And the land had rest forty years in the days of Gideon.
29 Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house. 30 Now Gideon had seventy sons, his own offspring, for he had many wives. 31 And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he called his name Abimelech. 32 And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, at Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 33 As soon as Gideon died, the people of Israel turned again and played the harlot after the Baals, and made Baalberith their god. 34 And the people of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had rescued them from the hand of all their enemies on every side; 35 and they did not show kindness to the family of Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) in return for all the good that he had done to Israel.
9 1 Now Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's kinsmen and said to them and to the whole clan of his mother's family, 2 "Say in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem, `Which is better for you, that all seventy of the sons of Jerubbaal rule over you, or that one rule over you?' Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh." 3 And his mother's kinsmen spoke all these words on his behalf in the ears of all the men of Shechem; and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, "He is our brother." 4 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, who followed him. 5 And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone; but Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself. 6 And all the citizens of Shechem came together, and all Bethmillo, and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar at Shechem.
7 When it was told to Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and cried aloud and said to them, "Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you. 8 The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, `Reign over us.' 9 But the olive tree said to them, `Shall I leave my fatness, by which gods and men are honored, and go to sway over the trees?' 10 And the trees said to the fig tree, `Come you, and reign over us.' 11 But the fig tree said to them, `Shall I leave my sweetness and my good fruit, and go to sway over the trees?' 12 And the trees said to the vine, `Come you, and reign over us.' 13 But the vine said to them, `Shall I leave my wine which cheers gods and men, and go to sway over the trees?' 14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, `Come you, and reign over us.' 15 And the bramble said to the trees, `If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.' 16 "Now therefore, if you acted in good faith and honor when you made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him as his deeds deserved -- 17 for my father fought for you, and risked his life, and rescued you from the hand of Midian; 18 and you have risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the citizens of Shechem, because he is your kinsman -- 19 if you then have acted in good faith and honor with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you; 20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the citizens of Shechem, and Bethmillo; and let fire come out from the citizens of Shechem, and from Bethmillo, and devour Abimelech." 21 And Jotham ran away and fled, and went to Beer and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 Abimelech ruled over Israel three years. 23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech; 24 that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brothers. 25 And the men of Shechem put men in ambush against him on the mountain tops, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abimelech. 26 And Gaal the son of Ebed moved into Shechem with his kinsmen; and the men of Shechem put confidence in him. 27 And they went out into the field, and gathered the grapes from their vineyards and trod them, and held festival, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank and reviled Abimelech. 28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who are we of Shechem, that we should serve him? Did not the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his officer serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem? Why then should we serve him? 29 Would that this people were under my hand! then I would remove Abimelech. I would say to Abimelech, `Increase your army, and come out.'" 30 When Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled. 31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his kinsmen have come to Shechem, and they are stirring up the city against you. 32 Now therefore, go by night, you and the men that are with you, and lie in wait in the fields. 33 Then in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the men that are with him come out against you, you may do to them as occasion offers." 34 And Abimelech and all the men that were with him rose up by night, and laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and Abimelech and the men that were with him rose from the ambush. 36 And when Gaal saw the men, he said to Zebul, "Look, men are coming down from the mountain tops!" And Zebul said to him, "You see the shadow of the mountains as if they were men." 37 Gaal spoke again and said, "Look, men are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming from the direction of the Diviners' Oak." 38 Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your mouth now, you who said, `Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?' Are not these the men whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them." 39 And Gaal went out at the head of the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. 40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded, up to the entrance of the gate. 41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah; and Zebul drove out Gaal and his kinsmen, so that they could not live on at Shechem. 42 On the following day the men went out into the fields. And Abimelech was told. 43 He took his men and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the fields; and he looked and saw the men coming out of the city, and he rose against them and slew them. 44 Abimelech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city, while the two companies rushed upon all who were in the fields and slew them. 45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; he took the city, and killed the people that were in it; and he razed the city and sowed it with salt. 46 When all the people of the Tower of Shechem heard of it, they entered the stronghold of the house of Elberith. 47 Abimelech was told that all the people of the Tower of Shechem were gathered together. 48 And Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the men that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bundle of brushwood, and took it up and laid it on his shoulder. And he said to the men that were with him, "What you have seen me do, make haste to do, as I have done." 49 So every one of the people cut down his bundle and following Abimelech put it against the stronghold, and they set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the Tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.
50 Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it. 51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and all the people of the city fled to it, all the men and women, and shut themselves in; and they went to the roof of the tower. 52 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and drew near to the door of the tower to burn it with fire. 53 And a certain woman threw an upper millstone upon Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull. 54 Then he called hastily to the young man his armor-bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, `A woman killed him.'" And his young man thrust him through, and he died. 55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his home. 56 Thus God requited the crime of Abimelech, which he committed against his father in killing his seventy brothers; 57 and God also made all the wickedness of the men of Shechem fall back upon their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
10 1 After Abimelech there arose to deliver Israel Tola the son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived at Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim. 2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years. Then he died, and was buried at Shamir.
3 After him arose Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years. 4 And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty asses; and they had thirty cities, called Havvothjair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. 5 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and did not serve him. 7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites, 8 and they crushed and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead. 9 And the Ammonites crossed the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.
10 And the people of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God and have served the Baals." 11 And the LORD said to the people of Israel, "Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the Ammonites and from the Philistines? 12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand. 13 Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods; therefore I will deliver you no more. 14 Go and cry to the gods whom you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress." 15 And the people of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned; do to us whatever seems good to thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, this day." 16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD; and he became indignant over the misery of Israel. 17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead; and the people of Israel came together, and they encamped at Mizpah. 18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said one to another, "Who is the man that will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
11 1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. 2 And Gilead's wife also bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they thrust Jephthah out, and said to him, "You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of another woman." 3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless fellows collected round Jephthah, and went raiding with him.
4 After a time the Ammonites made war against Israel. 5 And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob; 6 and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our leader, that we may fight with the Ammonites." 7 But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?" 8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the Ammonites, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead." 9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the Ammonites, and the LORD gives them over to me, I will be your head." 10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD will be witness between us; we will surely do as you say." 11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD at Mizpah.
12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites and said, "What have you against me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?" 13 And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel on coming from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably." 14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the Ammonites 15 and said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites, 16 but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh. 17 Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, `Let us pass, we pray, through your land'; but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh. 18 Then they journeyed through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab. 19 Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, `Let us pass, we pray, through your land to our country.' 20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped at Jahaz, and fought with Israel. 21 And the LORD, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country. 22 And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan. 23 So then the LORD, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them? 24 Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the LORD our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess. 25 Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them? 26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time? 27 I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me; the LORD, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon."
28 But the king of the Ammonites did not heed the message of Jephthah which he sent to him.
29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites. 30 And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If thou wilt give the Ammonites into my hand, 31 then whoever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return victorious from the Ammonites, shall be the LORD's, and I will offer him up for a burnt offering." 32 So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them; and the LORD gave them into his hand. 33 And he smote them from Aroer to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abelkeramim, with a very great slaughter. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.
34 Then Jephthah came to his home at Mizpah; and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. 35 And when he saw her, he rent his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me; for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot take back my vow." 36 And she said to him, "My father, if you have opened your mouth to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone forth from your mouth, now that the LORD has avenged you on your enemies, on the Ammonites."
37 And she said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions." 38 And he said, "Go." And he sent her away for two months; and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains. 39 And at the end of two months, she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had made. She had never known a man. And it became a custom in Israel 40 that the daughters of Israel went year by year to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
12 1 The men of Ephraim were called to arms, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the Ammonites, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire." 2 And Jephthah said to them, "I and my people had a great feud with the Ammonites; and when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand. 3 And when I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hand, and crossed over against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into my hand; why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?" 4 Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh." 5 And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" When he said, "No," 6 they said to him, "Then say Shibboleth," and he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right; then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites. 7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 9 He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he gave in marriage outside his clan, and thirty daughters he brought in from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years. 10 Then Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. 12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried at Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. 14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy asses; and he judged Israel eight years. 15 Then Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
13 1 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.
2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have no children; but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Therefore beware, and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, 5 for lo, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines."
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, "A man of God came to me, and his countenance was like the countenance of the angel of God, very terrible; I did not ask him whence he was, and he did not tell me his name; 7 but he said to me, `Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son; so then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from birth to the day of his death.'"
8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, "O, LORD, I pray thee, let the man of God whom thou didst send come again to us, and teach us what we are to do with the boy that will be born." 9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 And the woman ran in haste and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me." 11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" And he said, "I am." 12 And Manoah said, "Now when your words come true, what is to be the boy's manner of life, and what is he to do?" 13 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Of all that I said to the woman let her beware. 14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing; all that I commanded her let her observe."
15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "Pray, let us detain you, and prepare a kid for you." 16 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "If you detain me, I will not eat of your food; but if you make ready a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." (For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.) 17 And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that, when your words come true, we may honor you?" 18 And the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?" 19 So Manoah took the kid with the cereal offering, and offered it upon the rock to the LORD, to him who works wonders. 20 And when the flame went up toward heaven from the altar, the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar while Manoah and his wife looked on; and they fell on their faces to the ground. 21 The angel of the LORD appeared no more to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was the angel of the LORD. 22 And Manoah said to his wife, "We shall surely die, for we have seen God." 23 But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had meant to kill us, he would not have accepted a burnt offering and a cereal offering at our hands, or shown us all these things, or now announced to us such things as these."
24 And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson; and the boy grew, and the LORD blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of the LORD began to stir him in Mahanehdan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.
14 1 Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw one of the daughters of the Philistines. 2 Then he came up, and told his father and mother, "I saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah; now get her for me as my wife." 3 But his father and mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among the daughters of your kinsmen, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me; for she pleases me well." 4 His father and mother did not know that it was from the LORD; for he was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. At that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5 Then Samson went down with his father and mother to Timnah, and he came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion roared against him; 6 and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion asunder as one tears a kid; and he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done. 7 Then he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8 And after a while he returned to take her; and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion, and behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and honey. 9 He scraped it out into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he came to his father and mother, and gave some to them, and they ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey from the carcass of the lion.
10 And his father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there; for so the young men used to do. 11 And when the people saw him, they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12 And Samson said to them, "Let me now put a riddle to you; if you can tell me what it is, within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments; 13 but if you cannot tell me what it is, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty festal garments." And they said to him, "Put your riddle, that we may hear it."
14 And he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat. Out of the strong came something sweet." And they could not in three days tell what the riddle was.
15 On the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband to tell us what the riddle is, lest we burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us here to impoverish us?" 16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, "You only hate me, you do not love me; you have put a riddle to my countrymen, and you have not told me what it is." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told my father nor my mother, and shall I tell you?" 17 She wept before him the seven days that their feast lasted; and on the seventh day he told her, because she pressed him hard. Then she told the riddle to her countrymen. 18 And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle." 19 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty men of the town, and took their spoil and gave the festal garments to those who had told the riddle.

Vcrisis was, in short, the personal endeavour of someone whose discontentment, towards the politicians of his country (Venezuela), reached such unbearable levels that he decided to take action, and provide a counterbalance to the official multi million dollar propagandistic effort, rolled out by the Hugo Chavez regime. This effort, however, could not have been successful without the collaboration of outstanding individuals, who have provided much needed support and opinions, in the form of articles throughout the years. Special recognition goes to the webmaster of the site, and utmost admiration to Daniel Duquenal and Miguel Octavio, whose blogging from the thick of things has become, at least from my own perspective, that very elusive and ever so difficult to find source of objective information.
In October 2002, when this site was started, Hugo Chavez was the darling of the Left. Today, he is the darling of a small fringe of fundamentalists, terrorists, and radicals. Since, links with narcoterrorists organizations, such as FARC, have been properly exposed and corroborated by INTERPOL. The systematic violations of civil, political and human rights under Hugo Chavez's tenure, have also been amply documented by reputed human rights NGOs, such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, as well as by hemispheric multilateral bodies. Here the latest indictment against Venezuela issued by Inter American Commission of Human Rights, published 24 February 2010. The militaristic nature of his regime is another defining characteristic. Therefore, what needed exposing has been thouroughly exposed.
The editorial line of this site was based upon the criteria of its editor and founder, Alek Boyd, and the financial maintenance of it was met entirely by him since day one.
Contact, feedback messages, information leads, tips and hate mail can be sent to @alekboyd. Donations to contribute with the running of this site are welcomed. Nowadays he blogs at infovenezuela.org, and in his blog.

So, y'know, I wrote this book. And... it's not perfect.
By that I mean I really should go through and do something about a few typos in it. Maybe clean up a couple logic problems. That sort of thing. Apparently I even have an "its/it's" error in there.
A strange thing with doing stuff with CreateSpace is that I can fix those errors and re-upload them. By "strange" I mean "awesome".
Doing a regular spell check on the book didn't occur to me as there are a tremendous number of non-real words in it. I think one city name is G n'dar or some such thing. So it made me real used to seeing squiggly red underlines in the text.
My interest in the book was more about getting it done than getting it perfect. This is a part of my personality which probably explains why I make so many movies. I'm willing to let go, just in order to say "it's done".
Which doesn't mean that quality doesn't take some kind of hit. Because it does. But the fact is there's a law of diminishing returns on the quality the longer you sit on a project. Yes, I'll fix some typos in Six Easy Days and if you were to get the book sometime maybe next week it'll be less on a losing streak. But not by much.
And it's real easy, I mean really easy, to get locked in a loop where you keep trying to make whatever you're doing incrementally better and you just don't end up finishing so you've made nothing at all.
Well, you know, "maybe." |
