This week's wonderful Wednesday share includes some lovely posts and pieces about World Down's Syndrome Day.
Dispelling myths, increasing understanding, awareness and more than just acceptance of Down's syndrome is what the Day was all about. So, without further faffing, here's some of the highlights I happened to see online.
Kirsty from All About Evie, says "people should be included, accepted and loved for who they are…regardless of anything else. It is after all just an extra chromosome." and explains why people raise awareness of the day by wearing brightly coloured / odd socks - something I didn't know about until I read her post.
Talking of wearing odd socks, I loved these photos from Stephs Two Girls. They show her autistic daughter, who struggles with sensory issues and who usually only wears seamless socks, going the extra mile for others their support for the day. Brilliant!
Hayley from Downs Side Up wrote a piece about facts over on the FireFly Community. For example did you know there were some rare forms of Down's syndrome that were not linked to chromosome 21?

Q: |error: 'true' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'free'?| I'm trying to build a guessing game.
Hi, I'm trying to build a guessing game in C. But when I pass true in while loop in throws the following error:
error: 'true' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'free'?

Screenshot
How can I solve this?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
   {
    srand(time(0));
    int hidden = rand()%100 +1;
    printf("%d\n", hidden);

    while (true){
        int guess;
        scanf("%d", &guess);

        if(guess == hidden){
            printf("You are right");
            break;
        }
        else if(guess > hidden){
            printf("Guess smaller");
        }
        else{
            printf("Guess Larger");
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

A: true is declared in stdbool.h.
You could also use 1 instead of true.

A watchdog group that monitors Christian persecution worldwide reports that large numbers of church leaders in Colombia are being subjected to death threats, and many pastors have already been assassinated, Christian Post reports.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide revealed in a report last week that as much as 12.6 percent of all religious leaders in Bogotá have received death threats.
The threats are mostly coming from illegal armed groups that carry out extortion and kidnappings, meaning that leftist guerrilla groups, right-wing neo-paramilitary groups and other criminal entities are behind the attacks.
One pastor, Martínez Pérez of Nueva Filadelfia Church, was assassinated on Sept. 16 outside his home in Antioquia, forcing his wife and five adult children to flee the village in fear. Several others have also been killed in the past decade, CSW pointed out.
"The fact that human rights violations, including freedom of religion or belief violations, have continued and even worsened in some parts of Colombia despite the signing of the peace agreement two years ago is of grave concern, and indicates the need for the agreement to be fully implemented as soon as possible," said CSW's Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas, referring to a peace treaty between the government and armed groups in November 2016.
"We call on the Colombian government to take steps to ensure that FoRB is protected for all Colombians and that those responsible for threats against and attacks on church leaders are held to account for their actions," he added.
While most Colombians are Christians and don't face religious freedom issues, the same does not hold true for indigenous communities.
"Indigenous people who convert to Christianity are often forcibly displaced from their indigenous communities or excluded from receiving certain benefits by indigenous authorities, generally known as cabildos," the report explained.
The families of religious leaders have also been targeted. One pastor who wasn't named told CSW that on two occasions he has been compelled to pay extortion money as his family has been threatened.
"The group contacted him by mobile phone, told him the physical location of each member of his family, and said that they were following them. In May 2018 two armed men on a motorbike arrived at the pastor's house, threw his wife to the ground and then sped away. The pastor believes that this is the group's way of attempting to force him and his family to leave the region," CSW said.
Open Doors USA, another prominent watchdog group, ranks Colombia as the 49th worst country in the world when it comes to Christian persecution. The South American nation and Mexico were the only two countries outside the Middle East, Asia and Africa to make the top 50 list, with the attacks against Christians coming in the form of organized crime and corruption.


Vinny and Diane, the owners of Split Second Sound, have an extensive hiring and training process. They look for someone who is going to accurately and professionally represent the mentality and brand that they have worked tirelessly to create. This is not limited to the DJs that they employee. Just like Djing, it is not a one step process, neither is running a business. Vinny has put together a staff that ensures hiring a DJ runs smoothly from the time you call in to the last dance. This is evident within Ron, who is Split Second Sound's Account Manager. Allow me to introduce you to a vital part of our team.
Vinny invited Ron to be a part of the Split Second Sound family, in April, of this year. He has proven himself to be a necessary part, of the family. Like much of our staff, Ron is from up north. He was born right outside of Cleveland, on Lake Erie. When he was two years old his family moved to Buffalo. After graduating high school from Newfane High School, he furthered his education, at Penn State, by graduating with a Communications/Broadcasting Cable Degree. He began working at a local news station in Pennsylvania as an editor and photographer. With the recommendation from a close friend, Ron made the decision to move to Charlotte. With the longing to embrace new opportunities he embraced Charlotte. He began working at WSOC-TV, in Charlotte, editing, working on a live truck, photographer and engineer operator. Once he settled into Charlotte he decided to get out of the news business and worked as a manager at Enterprise, for five years.
We are sure that he has thanked his friend who recommended Charlotte, because during his time at Enterprise, he met his wife. Together they have a handsome son, Jacob. Thankfully he had a son, because he had three older sisters, growing up! Ron worked at P.F Chang's and Mattress Firm but eventually, wanted to get out of the sales industry. It turns out that Vinny was in search of someone who wanted to work, in the office, and Ron happened to fit the office's needs, perfectly! He says that he loves SSS because we are such a small company that makes such a big impact. We have DJ'ed over 1000 events this year and to see how many people are touched, makes the job extra special. He appreciates the freedom that Vinny allows within the office. It makes for a relaxed but professional atmosphere. Ron might not be the guy Djing but his roll is very important to make the whole process run smoothly.
We all ignore the fact that he was raised as a Steelers fan but we are thankful for the fact he is raising his son to be able to choose who he cheers for! Jacob is a proud 50/50 Panthers/Steelers fan. Ron enjoys his family, traveling, golf, sports, and anything history related. We think he should try his hand at music trivia. He is known, around the office, to quiz the staff on their knowledge of movies and music. He wins, every time. His favorites include AC/DC and of course Goo Goo Dolls, since he is from Buffalo. Ron had incredible experiences while working in the news industry by being able to meet/interview Jerome Betis, Heinz Ward, John Kasick, and Richard Petty just to name a few.
Ron has learned that you cannot sweat the small stuff. He tries to instill that mentality in his son. As he has gotten older, he has learned what to stress and what to let go. "Life is too short not to enjoy" and that speaks volumes about Ron. His positivity, diligence, loyalty and professionalism are just a few adjectives that we would use to describe Ron. Regardless of what team he is rooting for, we are very appreciative of what Ron brings to the SSS family. We look forward to the future and it wouldn't be so bright if Ron was not a part of Split's future.


Two of my questions for the upcoming 'xam (two days!) deal with relating a theological concept in a postmodern, postfoundationalist context. For me the defining aspect of postmodernism is particularity. We have lost all confidence in universals and are thus deferred to a world of humble particulars. And that, too, may very well be the crossover point between postmodernism and Christian theology. I read recently, and from a pretty conservative scholar too, that Christianity cannot stand on its own as a set of doctrines, say like Buddhism; it is inextricably bound to the narrative of Yahweh's work through Israel, the culmination of this in Jesus, and the ongoing work of the Church. There is no Christianity apart from this story.
In the history of theology, theologians have wrestled with what has come to be called "the scandal of particularity." This is the problem of how such a particular narrative is supposed to have universal significance. Jesus was a man; he worked as a carpenter, to the exclusion of other forms of work; he was born to a particular family, not all families; he was born in Israel, not all nations. Not that these accidentals, among others, cannot be representative of all other particulars and thus have some universal significance, but the point is that God become human inevitably took on particulars in so doing.
Now as a large chunk of the history of theology and philosophy would have us assume, there is a God of the universal behind this particular. But what if the scandal of particularity requires the theological move that there is also a God of particularity who became Jesus? Luther's logic went: "Jesus suffered and died on the cross; Jesus was God; God suffered and died on the cross." Outside of Jesus and the narrative already mentioned, the most puzzling aspect of particularity in Christianity for me is God entering into time. If God is in a permanent state of isness, if he is the eternal, I am, how does this God operate within the finite terms of the was, is and will be? Maybe this is one of open theism's strengths in pointing out the immanence of God in time..?
Does the act of Creation (and creating time) depend on God's prior particularity?
Is there a change in the universality of God through all interactions with Creation, especially the incarnation?

News I By Claire LobenfeldI 18.02.17
Clyde Stubblefield, James Brown's 'Funky Drummer', dies at age 73
One of hip-hop's most sampled drummers has died.
James Brown's legendary drummer, Clyde Stubblefield, has died of kidney failure at age 73, Rolling Stone reports.
Stubblefield was the inspiration for James Brown's 'The Funky Drummer', a track that has been sampled on a host of classic rap songs like Run-DMC's 'Run's House', N.W.A.'s 'Fuck Tha Police' and Public Enemy's 'Fight the Power'. But the breakbeat was not only popular in hip-hop. A Guy Called Gerald sampled it for his track 'This is the Right Time', while Moby employed it on 'Drug Fits the Face'.
Stubblefield was respected across the music industry. Questlove wrote on Instagram, "The spirit of the greatest grace note left hand snare drummer will live on thru all of us" upon hearing the news. Prince was also a fan. It was revealed last April, after Prince's own passing, that he was helping Stubblefield with medical bills. Billboard reported that Prince had helped Stubblefield with $80,000 in bladder cancer-related chemotherapy expenses.

Q: Xamarin HttpClient request on Local network gets NameResolutionFailure error Need to make a request with a local network server. If machine name is known, but not IP address.
string serverAddress = "mylocalserver";
System.Net.ServicePointManager.DnsRefreshTimeout = 0;
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(handler);
var url = $"http://{serverAddress}/";
var response = await client.GetAsync(url);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

but it fails with

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: An error occurred while sending
  the request ---> System.Net.WebException: Error: NameResolutionFailure

A: The NameResolutionFailure is typically a DNS name resolve error.
In general, if your server is in a domain (and configured correctly), you should be ale to reach it by it's full name:

yourlocalserver.yourdomain.local

If you don't have a domain, than you can also configure a "DNS override" in the local system. This is different per OS. For example, in windows its the host file located in %WINPATH%\System32\drivers\etc.
Third, you can have a DNS in your network without a fully configured domain. If the server is in it you should consult the DNS for the correct address.

The Two Shrines Pilgrimage in Scotland Announced for 2018
On Saturday, June 9, the Confraternity of St Ninian made a pilgrimage to Arbroath, Angus, Scotland, to honour St Columba of Iona, Patron of the local Diocese of Dunkeld, on his feast day, and to launch their main event of 2018, the Two Shrines Pilgrimage. (Photos from the Confraternity.)
The day began with a Holy Hour at St Thomas' Parish Church, before pilgrims walked to the ruins of Arbroath Abbey. The abbey was founded in 1178 by King William "the Lion" of Scotland, and dedicated to the martyr St Thomas Becket, who had been slain in Canterbury Cathedral only eight years before; King William, who had met the Archbishop at the English court, was eventually buried under the high altar. The foundation, the richest in Scotland, was entrusted to Benedictine monks of the Tironensian Order, and thrived until its destruction at the hands of John Knox's "reformers" shortly after 1560. It is most famous for the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath, in which the Scottish nobles asserted the independence of the Scottish nation in the face of English aggression; in more recent history, the town, which developed around the harbour built by the monks to allow pilgrims to visit the abbey, became an important North Sea port.
Holy Mass was celebrated outdoors at the site of the former high altar by Fr Ninian Doohan, a member of the local diocesan clergy; the liturgy, which was in the Extraordinary Form, included commemorations for the sixth anniversary of the consecration of the diocesan bishop, Stephen Robson, who is a noted friend of tradition in Scotland. After Mass, the pilgrims processed through the town singing the Rosary and hymns in honour of St Columba; this witness to the Christian faith was very well received by the people of the town. (In 2016, we posted some photos of Masses celebrated by Fr Doohan shortly after his ordination.)
At lunch following the Mass, Confraternity president Mark Hamid launched the Two Shrines Pilgrimage 2018, which is the centre of the Confraternity's annual programme and will take place from August 4-6. Modelled on the Chartres Pilgrimage, the event will begin at the national shrine to St Andrew in St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh, and conclude with Holy Mass at the former shrine to St Andrew in St Andrews Cathedral, which this year marks the 700th anniversary of its consecration in the presence of King Robert the Bruce. During the three-day walk, pilgrims will pray the Rosary and other devotions and be supported by the chaplaincy of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer from Golgotha Monastery on the island of Papa Stronsay. Mass will be celebrated each day in the Extraordinary Form and other highlights will include a Holy Hour with Pontifical Benediction in the Chapel Royal, Falkland Palace and the opportunity to enjoy Christian fellowship throughout the event. Registrations for the pilgrimage are now open with an "early bird" discount available to registrants during the month of June.
At St Andrew's during last year's pilgrimage
Confraternity president Mark Hamid said, "Our pilgrimage to Arbroath today has been a wonderful opportunity to honour God and to bear witness to our beautiful Catholic Faith in this ancient monastic town. Our efforts to promote the reconversion of Scotland through penance and Christian witness will continue as we undertake our third annual Two Shrines Pilgrimage in August. I warmly invite everyone to get involved and thank them for their continued spiritual and financial assistance without which we would be unable to reach St Andrews. In recognition of the Cathedral's important anniversary this year, we have set an ambitious fundraising target of £700 and greatly appreciate all contributions to allow us to reach this goal."
The Confraternity of St Ninian is a lay association and Scottish charity which promotes the re-conversion of Scotland to the Catholic Faith through pilgrimages incorporating the Extraordinary Form of the Mass and traditional devotions.

EghtesadOnline: Tehran residents had some relief with clean air and blue skies in March compared to the same month last year, data from Tehran Air Quality Control Company shows.
Charts published on TAQCC website, airnow.tehran.ir, show that in March, the capital breathed less polluted air.
The air was clean with blue skies for almost half the month with the Air Quality Index in 'good' condition for 13 days.
Tehran saw 18 days of 'moderate' air quality, with the AQI swinging between 51 and 100.
TAQCC said in March sensitive groups in the capital were not warned against outdoor activities because the index did not reach the threshold of 'unhealthy' status (101-150).
Children, the elderly, pregnant women and those with respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, all of whom fall in the sensitive group, are usually advised to avoid prolonged outdoor exertion when the AQI hovers above 101.
Pollutants measured to determine air quality include carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ground-level ozone and particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10). AQI figures are calculated as per the concentration of pollutants.
Analyses illustrate that the pollutant responsible for the three days marked with 'moderate' status recorded in the investigated period was PM2.5 (atmospheric particulate matters that have a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers).
Figures show that the number of days with air pollution has declined in Tehran compared to the past year, at least during the period under review.
March 2018 did not have a stellar record as residents breathed fresh air for only one day with 'good' condition.
'Moderate' air dominated the TAQCC charts pushing up the index between 51 and 100 for 22 days.
During the month, sensitive groups faced unhealthy air conditions for eight days with the AQI fluctuating between 100 and 150.
High concentration of PM2.5 was the key factor responsible for high AQI during the investigated period.
Poor air quality has long been a danger for urban dwellers in Iran causing over 12,000 pollution-related deaths in the fiscal year that ended in March 2017.
This March things were much better seemingly due to the measures introduced by municipal bodies in the sprawling capital.
One is the air pollution reduction (APR) scheme launched in November 2018.
As per the APR dilapidated vehicles are banned and violators are fined.
All four and two-wheelers must go for the mandatory technical inspections and acquire conformity cards showing that the vehicles are roadworthy.
The extended Norouz holidays (March 21 to April 2) has also helped curb air pollution during the period.
During the annual festival season many families travel in and outside the country. For this reason Tehran and other metropolises are much less crowded and consequently toxic emissions in the air declines significantly.
The blue skies, pleasant climate and clean air Tehran residents are enjoying these days is also the result of springtime showers washing off the pollutants from the air.

    to generate the parameters.

    To learn about all possible
    [params generators](/docs/automation/optimization-engine/params/).

    > The parameters generated will be validated against
    > the component's inputs/outputs definition to check that the values
    > can be passed and have valid types.

    ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   params:
    >>>     param1:
    >>>        kind: ...
    >>>        value: ...
    >>>     param2:
    >>>        kind: ...
    >>>        value: ...
    ```

    ### numRuns

    Maximum number of runs to start based on the search space defined.

    ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   numRuns: 5
    ```

    ### maxIterations

    Maximum number of iterations to run the process of \\-> suggestions -> training ->\\

    ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   maxIterations: 5
    ```

    ### metric

    The metric to optimize during the iterations,
    this is the metric that you want to maximize or minimize.

    ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   metric:
    >>>     name: loss
    >>>     optimization: minimize
    ```

    ### seed

    Since this algorithm uses random generators,
    if you want to control the seed for the random generator, you can pass a seed.

     ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   seed: 523
    ```

    ### earlyStopping

    A list of early stopping conditions to check for terminating
    all operations managed by the pipeline.
    If one of the early stopping conditions is met,
    a signal will be sent to terminate all running and pending operations.

    ```yaml
    >>> matrix:
    >>>   kind: hyperopt
    >>>   earlyStopping: ...
    ```

    ### tuner

    The tuner reference (w/o component hub reference) to use.
    The component contains the logic for creating new suggestions based on hyperopt library,
    users can override this section to provide a different tuner component.

    ```yaml

2017, definitely my favourite and busiest year for photography so far!
My goals for 2017 were to work more and see more of the world, I think I can safely say that I've accomplished those things. I've been working on family sessions, weddings, stock photography and commercial photography amongst plenty of trips abroad to broaden my view of the world. I've made trips to Bulgaria, Hong Kong, Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia, Germany and last but not least a trip to Whistler, Canada to see my brother get married.
Thank you to all of my clients who have made 2017 my best working year yet. My photography goals for 2018 are to be more creative, be a bit different and take more risks. I'm already excited to see what my 'best of 2018' will look like!

I'm used to talking about the found objects used in my collages, but this time it's about the art I found in an old portfolio that was stashed under my daughter's bed. The horses were inspired by one of my favourite pieces at the Little Nell Hotel in Aspen. I quickly grabbed some of those cray-pas pencils that mix with water, and sure enough I got a fairly good showing of colour.
Next we have the Napa Valley done in oil paints, my least favourite medium in which to work. I just never got used to painting with something the consistency of butter, but I tried it again with the pears. This time on mylar which is a very sheer plastic material. The paints are blended with mineral spirits and slide around the surface very quickly leaving all kinds of surprising results. Also compatible with this process are china markers, india inks and chalk. Water colours must be mixed with gum arabic when using mylar as the ground.
I think it's time to get out the acrylic paints. I actually know what to expect when they hit the surface, but my lack of frequency in using them makes it all seem so experimental each time. Oh ya, that's part of the Zen of painting...... go forth and be creative today.
I love love these paintings. I love the horses most of all! Thank you for you visit!
The Wedding that keeps on giving!

Why the FCA must step up to tackle virus-related crime
29 May, 2020 /in Risk /by Stephen Kiely
It has been a long-accepted belief that the true strength of an organisation can only genuinely be determined when it faces a real test. The social and economic challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic make it arguably the sternest test that many individuals, businesses and organisations have ever faced.
On 12 March 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a notice on its website warning investors to avoid coronavirus-related cryptocurrency schemes that may be too good to be true. It went on to alert the reader to illegal schemes that could take many forms, ranging from insurance policies and pension transfers through to high-return investments.
It would be hard to argue against the FCA taking such a step. Yet that appears to be the sum total of its response. While it has issued this stark warning – which perhaps it should be given credit for – the FCA does not appear to have done anything more. A glance at its website at the time of writing shows the FCA emphasising that it is closely monitoring the coronavirus situation and making clear it stands ready to take any steps necessary to ensure that customers are protected and that markets continue to function well. It has piled a lot of information with a coronavirus slant onto its website, which may be of use to those looking for guidance. However, it is worth noting that to date the FCA has not made any announcement in relation to active investigations.
This is surprising when you compare the activities in the United States. A brief look across the Atlantic shows that the US' Department of Justice (DOJ) has already announced that it has disrupted hundreds of different domains that were being used for illegal activities exploiting the Covid-19 pandemic. One such activity was the seizing of "coronaprevention.org"; with the DOJ and Department for Homeland Security (DHS) alleging its owner tried to sell the domain name for bitcoin to individuals he believed wanted to use it to sell fake Covid-19 testing kits. The individuals were actually undercover officers.
Such action appears in stark contrast to the levels – or lack – of activity we have seen in the UK. Less than a fortnight ago (April 25), Action Fraud UK used Twitter to concede that coronavirus-related scams are on the rise. Activities ranging from online shopping fraud through to fake charity and bank emails designed to obtain personal data are, according to Action Fraud, flourishing in the climate that has been created by lockdown. Action Fraud UK is not shy when it comes to giving advice. Like the FCA, it is happy to administer advice to those who need it. But advice is only part of the required response. Where is the action that needs to be taken against the opportunists looking to make illegal gains out of an international crisis?
We are living through unprecedented times. There may be those who would excuse the lack of activity by the FCA (and possibly other organisations) on the grounds of this being a situation that none of us have ever been in before. But it appears that the US has, at the very least, started taking great strides to take on those exploiting the pandemic. Exactly what results those strides achieve when it comes to prosecutions and / or preventing any further such virus-related financial crime remains to be seen. But at least those strides are being made. In the UK, it is hard to find evidence of even the smallest steps forward being taken.
If, as I mentioned earlier, the true strength of an organisation is how it reacts when faced with a real test then the FCA needs to start taking active steps now as opposed to dealing with matters after the event.

A limited edition of 200 bottles of Champagne Orfèvre Cristal 2002, priced at more than $20,000 each.
The leading French label, Louis Roederer, presented a limited edition of 200 bottles of Cristal champagne Jeroboams (3 liters), which went on sale simultaneously around the world for an estimated price of $25,000 each. Only 5 can be purchased in the United States, 8 in Spain, 2 in Mexico and the rest are divided between France, England, Germany, Italy, Monaco and Canada, among a few other select countries.
The design of the stunning bottle was placed in the hands of Philippe Di Meo, born in Marseille in1963 and founder of Reso Design Band Studio. Di Meo is known for unleashing our imagination through his art pieces, introducing a unique and risky vocabulary to each of his creations. "The creative essence of a project should be fun in its language, and totally seductive" says the French designer.
In his 24-year career, Di Meo has created collectibles for firms such as Baccarat, Christofle, Raynaud, Softel, Coca Cola, Guerlain, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne and, more recently, for Sephora.
Inspired by the exquisite tradition of French jewelry culture, the impressive presentation of the Cristal Orfèvre 2002 is entirely handmade by two master goldsmiths who spent four days creating the gold lattice for each bottle, carefully joining each link to form a protective mesh bound to the central medallion.
"As I imagined this millesime, I only envisioned the light of the wine protected by a clear glass bottle, impressive for its size. The design does not cast any shadow on the bottle, but rather creates reflections from light. The result is a precise and precious mesh, like a jewel on the surface," explains Di Meo.
He explains that the realization of this project was a technical achievement, which required comprehensive and unique work as each bottle needs more than 20 feet of plated brass band gilded with 24K gold, in addition to 158 silver welding points.
This authentic bottle, which is a jewel by itself, surrounds a splendid 2002 champagne, considered one of the firm's best vintages in decades. Its excellent quality, concentrated flavors, fine bubbles and wonderful fruity texture are due to a long period of maturation as it remains at least 10 years resting inside the cellars.
Cristal champagne is produced only in years when the ripeness of the chardonnay and pinot noir grapes are optimal. In this case, 2002 was an exceptional year, with warm and uniform temperatures that enhanced their quality at the time of collection in the Louis Roederer vineyards, located on the mountains of Reims, in the Marne Valley and on the Côte des Blancs.
The history of this unique champagne is quite interesting. In 1833, after inheriting the Maison de Champagne from his uncle, Louis Roederer decided to concentrate his efforts in exporting the wines to several countries, including Russia.
In no time, the Russian Tsar, Alexander II, realizing the quality of the champagne produced by Roederer, decreed that every year, the Cellar Head of his court should travel to Reims to oversee the elaboration process of his personal cuveé.

Why King James Version of the Bible? - The Prophecy Brothers!
Why King James Version of the Bible?
I always thought there was no significant difference between the bible translations except for they were all easier to read than the King James Version. In fact, my opinion even goes beyond that. I was raised Roman Catholic and was taught not to read the King James Bible because it was the Protestant Bible. When my mom was in Catholic school, the nuns told her it was a sin to read the KJV.
The main thing as Christians that we should be concerned about is if we are getting the word of God or not. Below are two short but informative videos about why the King James Bible is the bible to read. The first video is from Dr. Kent Hovind. He lays out the reason for the KJV and shows differences in verse between the KJV and other translations. The other video is from Chick.com. If you visit their site, the have several videos about the subject.
Here at The Prophecy Brothers.com we carry a waterproof bible that is great for preppers and campers. We decided to sell the KJV only.


A collaboration with Gigantic Brewing of Portland Oregon. Golden promise along with two types of oats give a simple but smooth mouthfeel. De-bittered Mosaic hops were added in the kettle and then Amarillo was added to the FV before transfer. The beer was then fermented cold using lager yeast before undergoing an extended maturation of 6 weeks and further dry hop additions of Amarillo and Mosaic. Crisp, fruity and drinkable, just as all lager should be.

Abobos Big Adventure5 votes. 4 / 5
Abobos Big Adventure
Abobo's Big Adventure is a project that we have been working on for YEARS as a true labor of lovewith one goal in mind: To create the ultimate tribute to the NES! This gargantuan 8-bit parody game is made for the fans by the fans, and now you finally have the chance to control the angriest character in the known universe - Abobo!
The story is simple - Abobo's son (Aboboy) has been kidnapped and now it's up to you to help Abobo fight his way through some of the greatest NES games of all time in order to rescue him. This isn't your average 8-bit parody game either... not only is each level a completely different game in which Abobo takes on the characteristics of the main protagonist, but enemies from a wide variety of *other* games appear on each level too! Imagine you could put every NES game ever made into a blender and that's basically what you're dealing with here in the form of a huge Flash game.
We've added in a ton of custom artwork, cutscenes, new rage moves on each level, huge boss battles, secrets, and a whopping 100 medals for you to unlock! In addition to that, we've created what we consider to be the most satisfying ending of any game you'll ever see. Sure, on classic NES games they often rewarded you with a simple "Congratulations! Game Over." after you spent hours working your way towards the end. That's not the case here - we've worked up one big ending that you'll remember for the rest of your life! Plus, when you beat the game, you'll unlock even more goodies to play with!
You'll also be happy to learn that we've created a convenient Level Select screen which automatically unlocks levels as you beat them. You don't have to beat the game in one sitting... you can always come back and use the Level Select to pick up right where you left off. You can also use it to replay any level if you need to try to unlock additional medals that you missed out on during your first play-through.
Last but not least, if you enjoy this massive game project of ours, please consider making a donation to our indie cause. We've put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this game (mainly because Abobo kept punching us throughout its development), so your donations would be greatly appreciated and will go towards our creating future games and/or paying our hospital bills from Abobo's constant beatings. PLUS - as a token of our appreciation, anybody who makes a donation will also receive a free copy of our 100% original new mini-game, Aboboy's Small Adventure!

Incubus Live In Singapore: A Show Left Of The Murder
Evan Woon
It has been a good run for alternative rock giants Incubus. As they watched their peers from the 2000's like Alien Ant Farm or A Perfect Circle slowly fade into oblivion, the alternative rock group has steered clear from what behest bands from the grunge/alternative era by touring constantly.
Despite having last released mediocre effort If Not Now, When in 2011, the band has managed to maintain relevancy from their undying breed of fans – the very same fans who have grown up listening to commercial hits such as "Love hurts", "Drive", and "Megalomaniac". Fast forward to 9th March 2015, we were brought to what was perhaps one of the most intense and nostalgic moments of 2015.

As crowds snaked into Hard Rock's Coliseum as early as 7.30pm, Ku De Ta's honcho and resident DJ Joshua P was there to greet them. Armed with a medley of indie tunes, the DJ launched into a dance mix comprising the likes of indie greats such as The Killers and Phoenix. Easing into the highlight of the night, Concert Promoter Upsurge Productions spared no qualms in showing that the Alternative kingpins were in the building – with a giant Countdown Clock, no less.

Amid the roaring countdown, the loudest cheers were reserved for Frontman Brandon Boyd when he appeared on stage. Tousled and nascent of a young Myles Kennedy, the singer aptly launched into an acoustic arrangement of 2001's "Wish You Were Here", which burst into the all-too-familiar chorus. With no shortage of crowd pleasers, Incubus ripped into hit after hit, and even took the opportunity to showcase new number "Absolution Calling" from upcoming effort Trust Fall EP.
Boyd was a picture of masculinity, taking his shirt off at one point and brazenly encouraging audience members to follow suit. The band weaved together an intricate setlist of 20 songs, and flummoxed between their well-known ballads and hard-hitting numbers. Guitarist Mike Einziger demonstrated his impressive technicality, laying down the warped guitar solos amid the bristling consonance of Bassist Ben Kenney and Turntablist Chris Killmore's playing.
The band was in high spirits, with Boyd entertaining regularly with his idiosyncratic antics and offhand comments. Aside from of punctuating his sets with small vocal warm-up exercises, he openly described hit single "Drive" as "Moist". "This word drives people crazy in the States", he declared, before easing into the 2000 hit single.

The band closed with a spectral medley of 1999's "Pardon Me" and 2003 single "Megalomaniac", before returning to the clamouring audience for encore performances of pulsating "The Warmth" and upbeat titular track "A Crow Left of the Murder". The end of the set threw revelers into an undeniable sense of nostalgia, leaving thousands of secondary school dreams realised and fulfilled. Incubus proved to be an intense show to be reckoned with, with the American juggernauts leaving a whopping audience of 2,300 punters incredibly satisfied that night.

The first season of this year's Golden Globe-winning series Mr Robot ended with lead character Elliot coming to terms with the fact that he has some serious mental health issues. Clearly, fans can expect to see him fight his inner demons in season 2 — but there will also be some big twists, promises showrunner Sam Esmail.
"There will be a lot more backstory that will be shown, the timeline will get a little clearer — not 100 percent clear, because where's the fun in that? But a little clearer... It really is about Elliott trying to reconcile what this means in seeing Mr. Robot. The series is filling in the blanks of the past and the present of this character... It's about a guy who becomes aware of this delusion he's been having," Esmail told Entertainment Weekly.
The previous season showed that the character Mr. Robot was actually just part of Elliot's imagination. The reveal came as a surprise to the audience, disclosing that the series had been portraying Elliot's delusional perspective.
The creator of "Mr. Robot," Sam Esmail, recently shared some interesting details about season 2. He explained that the upcoming season will focus on Elliot's journey to reconciliation.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Esmail stated, "There will be a lot more backstory that will be shown, the timeline will get a little clearer - not 100 percent clear, because where's the fun in that? But a little clearer. It really is about Elliott trying to reconcile what this means in seeing Mr. Robot. The series is filling in the blanks of the past and the present of this character. It's about a guy who becomes aware of this delusion he's been having."
With that, fans can expect a clearer storyline in the upcoming season. In addition, the season will also reveal more details about the several characters, which could provide some clarity to the audience.
In addition, Esmail stated that the upcoming season will present a darker theme compared to the first one. It was also revealed that stars such as Rami Malek, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin, and Martin Wallstrom will be returning to the show.
Christian Slater, who played the role of Mr. Robot in the previous season, will also return next season. However, he will also be taking the role of Edward Alderson, Elliot's departed father. He recently won a Golden Globe award for Supporting Actor for his role in the series.
When asked if fans can look forward to more big twists, the show runner — who will be directing all 10 episodes of season 2 — replied: "Probably. If I were a betting man, I would say yes."
In another interview with Esquire, Esmail gave a slightly more detailed picture of the season 2 storyline. "Now that we are aware of his [mental health] issues, Elliot has to address them. What happens after that realization? What are the steps you take to negotiate with it, reconcile with it, fight with it? That's sort of where we're taking the second season."
"Also, at the end of the first season we think that the mission is complete and that they were able to take down Evil Corp, but we see in the coda with that scene between White Rose and Philip Price that there are larger forces at play. As always," added the show runner.
For fans who are curious to know what to expect about the show's next season, here are some of the things we've gathered so far.
The cast and crew of the critically acclaimed show have started filming in New York.
2. There will be new additions to the cast.
Rami Malek (Elliot), Christian Slater (Edward/Mr. Robot), Carly Chaikin (Darlene) and Portia Doubleday (Angela) will be joined by new additions to the cast.
Craig Robinson has been cast to play Elliot's neighbor. The news of his casting comes a couple of days after it was announced that rapper Joey Bada$$ will join the show as Elliot's close friend, and Chris Conroy was cast as Joanna Wellicks' (Stephanie Corneliussen) lover.
In February, it was announced that Grace Gummer will join the show as Dominique DiPierro, an FBI agent assigned to investigate the hack that was executed on Evil Corp's system.
3. Two old cast members were upped as series regulars.
Corneliussen, who plays Tyrell Wellick's wife, and Michael Cristofer, who plays Evil Corp CEO Phillip Price, have been promoted as series regulars.
Series creator Sam Esmail has kept a lot of the details about the plot from the public, but he did share that the upcoming season will focus more on Elliot's background, as well as his struggle to come to terms with knowing that he has a serious mental health problem. Esmail also said that the government and people from law enforcement will come into play in the new installment.
Mr Robot season 2 is rumored to premiere in June/July of 2016.
