While the CIRA Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("CDRP") was modelled after the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), there are significant differences between the two policies. Accordingly, while UDRP decisions may provide some guidance regarding the interpretation of the CDRP, UDRP decisions must be read with caution given the substantial differences between the UDRP and the CDRP.
A CDRP decision will be implemented within approximately sixty (60) days from the date of the decision, compared to ten (10) days under the UDRP.

How to Buy Cookies
Cookies FAQ
Girl Scout Cookie Program®
Find quick answers to your questions about Girl Scout Cookies®.
Buying Girl Scout Cookies
When do Girl Scout Cookies go on sale and how do I find them?
Girl Scout Cookies can be purchased from girls participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program®  only during your local council's cookie season. Find cookies, learn when cookie season starts in your community, and locate cookie sale booths by simply entering your zip code in the Find Cookies search box.
You can also call or email your local Girl Scout council. Your council's phone number, website, Facebook page, and Twitter account are all on the Council Finder page. Council staff or volunteers can help you find a cookie booth near you. Councils conduct their cookie season for about a six- to eight-week period per year, most between January and April, but some as early as September.
Try our free mobile Girl Scout Cookie Finder app for your iOS or Android device. You can search for cookie sales in your neighborhood, get details on your favorite Girl Scout Cookies, and use social media to tell your friends.
How is the Girl Scout Cookie Program valuable to girls?
Every Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scouts' adventures throughout the year, exploring what interests them, discovering their passions, and taking action on issues they care about. Whether they're using their STEM skills to solve a problem, changing a law to help their community, having a courageous outdoor experience, or starting an innovative nonprofit, Girl Scouts build a better future for themselves and the world. And we know that Girl Scouts have an entrepreneurial edge compared to their non-member peers according to The Girl Scout Research Institute's research report, Today's Girls, Tomorrow's Entrepreneurs (PDF). This study also revealed that girls want more opportunities to practice and develop entrepreneurial skills and the Girl Scout Cookie Program is just the right place to do, learn and grow.
Can I buy Girl Scout Cookies online?
Yes, if you know a Girl Scout who is participating in Digital Cookie. The Digital Cookie platform keeps girls front and center as we move beyond the booth and offer a convenient way for consumers to buy cookies online and support girls at the same time.
Depending on the council, girls will either use a personalized cookie website, mobile app, ecard, or direct link to ask their customers to make a purchase. If you know a Girl Scout, tell her you're interested in becoming a Digital Cookie customer—and she'll take it from there. If you don't know a Girl Scout, visit www.girlscoutcookies.org.
Only registered Girl Scouts can sell Girl Scout Cookies. We caution against purchases of Girl Scout Cookies found for sale online at auction, community list sites, or sites such as eBay and Amazon, because GSUSA, your local Girl Scout council, and our licensed cookie bakers cannot guarantee the freshness or integrity of these cookies. In many instances, these cookies are expired, or the sellers are using Girl Scout intellectual property without our authorization. Further, purchasing cookies in this way does not support Girl Scouts participating in the Cookie Program.
Can Girl Scout Cookies be shipped?
Girl Scout Cookies purchased via a girl's or troop's Digital Cookie link can be shipped within the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, military or diplomatic locations with an APO/FPO/DPO address. If you know a Girl Scout, tell her you're interested in becoming a Digital Cookie customer—and she'll take it from there. If you don't know a Girl Scout, visit www.girlscoutcookies.org .
Why are Girl Scout Cookies available only for a brief time?
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world, but it is just one part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience . Girl Scouts participate in varied activities throughout the year and work on many projects. The cookie program is just one of those activities. And because only registered Girl Scouts may sell Girl Scout Cookies, their market availability is normally limited to the six-to eight-week period when girls are engaged in the program through their local council.
Which Girl Scout Cookies are currently available?
There are many different kinds of Girl Scout Cookies. You can learn about the cookies on the Meet the Cookies page of our website. Availability varies depending on the local area, so contact your local Girl Scout council to find out which varieties are available near you.
What if I'm not satisfied with my Girl Scout Cookies?
If, for any reason, you aren't satisfied with a package of Girl Scout Cookies, contact the baker. The baker contact information is listed on the side of each package, or you may contact Little Brownie Bakers or ABC Bakers directly.
How can I be sure my Girl Scout Cookies were baked for the current season?
Every Girl Scout Cookie package is stamped with a seasonal "use or freeze by" date. Girl Scout Cookies with a 2022 date would be baked for the 2021–2022 season.
How much is a package of Girl Scout Cookies? Why do prices vary in different regions?
Each of the 111 Girl Scout councils sets its own price based on its needs and knowledge of the local market. Today's prices reflect both the current cost of cookies and the realities of providing Girl Scout programming in an ever-changing economic environment. Remember, the proceeds stay with your local council and troop to power amazing experiences for girls. To find out when Girl Scouts are selling in your area, use the Find Cookies search box.
Who bakes Girl Scout Cookies?
Currently, two commercial bakers are licensed by Girl Scouts of the USA to produce Girl Scout Cookies ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers .
How many cookies are in a package of Girl Scout Cookies, and how big are they?
Girl Scout Cookies are sold by weight, not by size or number. The number and size of cookies vary by variety and by baker. This information is featured on every package. You can learn more about the cookies on the Meet the Cookies page of our website.
Why are my Caramel deLites® now called Samoas®? Why are my Trefoils® now called Shortbread?
Each Girl Scout council chooses a licensed baker, either ABC Bakers or Little Brownie Bakers. A cookie may be called Trefoils when baked by one baker and Shortbread when baked by the other. The two cookies look and taste similar, but the name of the cookie and the recipe may be different. The exceptions are Thin Mints® and Adventurefuls™, which are names used by both bakers. Even if Girl Scout Cookie names are the same, the recipes may differ.
Who selects Girl Scout Cookie varieties?
GSUSA collaborates with both licensed bakers in the development of Girl Scout Cookies. Any new additions or optimizations to products in the portfolio are approved by GSUSA. Councils select the baker for their area, which dictates the varieties offered in that area.
To see a list of all current varieties of Girl Scout Cookies, along with pictures and descriptions, go to Meet the Cookies .
What are the best-selling Girl Scout Cookies?
The best-selling Girl Scout Cookies are:
Thin Mints®
Caramel deLites®/Samoas®
Peanut Butter Patties®/Tagalongs®
Do-si-dos®/Peanut Butter Sandwich ®
Lemonades/Lemon-Ups®
Should people with diabetes buy or consume Girl Scout Cookies?
We encourage consumers concerned about sugar intake to discuss dietary options with a doctor or registered dietitian.
For consumer convenience, each of our licensed bakers lists dietary exchanges on the cookie information pages of their websites, so people with diabetes and parents of children with diabetes can make informed choices. The amount of sugar and carbohydrates is also listed on each cookie package.
Do Girl Scout Cookies contribute to childhood obesity?
Girl Scout Cookies are sold for a brief time every year and are considered a snack or special treat. As with all treats, they should be enjoyed in moderation.
GSUSA promotes a healthy lifestyle for girls, which includes a well-balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Our health and fitness programs encourage girls to adopt fitness and healthy eating habits early in life and to continue them into adulthood. Girl Scouts are also taught to consider ingredients and portion size when choosing snacks.
Why are some Girl Scout Cookie varieties priced differently from other ones?
Like other specialty products, our gluten-free cookie varieties and Girl Scout S'mores cookies may be priced higher than other Girl Scout Cookies, reflecting the cost of production and/or specialty ingredients.
How do I find out the ingredients, nutritional value, and allergen information for Girl Scout Cookies?
This information is clearly listed on both the cookie package and the cookie order form. You can also find the information on the Meet the Cookies page of our website or on the Cookie Finder app.
With special regard for allergen concerns, our bakers bake Girl Scout Cookies in state-of-the-art facilities, and consumers can be assured that every required safety protocol is adhered to in order to prevent cross-contact of ingredients. Consumers with additional questions can find out more by visiting the baker websites: ABC Bakers or Little Brownie Bakers. To find out which licensed baker supplies your council with cookies, contact your local Girl Scout council. Ingredients may differ slightly by baker so refer to the printed packaging for this information.
Why does the allergen disclosure on the Girl Scout Cookie packaging reference a shared facility? Why was it changed? How is this different from the allergens contained?
All packaged goods in the U.S., including Girl Scout Cookies, are required to include a mandatory allergen disclosure identifying any of the top 8 food allergens present as ingredients either in the ingredients list or through a "Contains" statement. A precautionary allergen disclosure ("Made in shared facility with") was added to all Girl Scout Cookie packaging labels last season to ensure transparency about any allergens that may be present in the bakery where Girl Scout Cookies are made. For more information, check out Meet the Cookies . If you have concerns as to whether a product is right for you, please check with your healthcare provider.
Are all Girl Scout Cookies halal certified?
Yes. All Girl Scout Cookies are halal certified. For more information about cookie ingredients, check out Meet the Cookies or visit our bakers' websites ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers .
Are all Girl Scout Cookies kosher?
Yes. For more information about cookie ingredients, check out Meet the Cookies or visit our bakers' websites: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers .
Is high-fructose corn syrup used in Girl Scout Cookies?
No, all Girl Scout Cookies are free of high-fructose corn syrup. For a list of specific cookie ingredients, see Meet the Cookies or visit our bakers' websites: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers .
Why is palm oil used in Girl Scout Cookies?
Palm oil is an ingredient found in the majority of baked snacks sold in the United States and is the most widely used vegetable oil in the world. Per GSUSA's licensed bakers, it is necessary to use palm oil in our cookies because of its unique ability to provide volume and texture in baked goods, usually without adding trans fats. Additionally, growing palm oil requires less land in comparison to other vegetable oils and supports the livelihoods of more than 4 million farmers globally. Although we continue to explore alternatives, currently, there are no viable or readily available alternatives for use in the production of Girl Scout Cookies.
The world's food supply is intricately tied to the use of palm oil, so we believe promoting sustainable manufacturing principles is the most responsible approach for Girl Scouts and Girl Scout Cookie development. At Girl Scouts, we have an opportunity to use our strong voice to bring about positive change on this important issue, and our bakers have made the following commitments:
GSUSA and our licensed bakers are members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a non-profit organization of growers, buyers, manufacturers, conservationists, and other interested parties striving to develop and follow best practices to ensure an ethical supply chain.
Our licensed bakers are committed to Sustainable Palm Oil in Girl Scout Cookies. Girl Scout Cookies baked by both ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers use Mass Balance RSPO certified palm oil and include the RSPO Mass Balance logo on their packaging (i.e., RSPO "Mixed" certification label)
Both bakers' future goal is to achieve 100% RSPO-segregated certified palm oil products for all Girl Scout Cookies they produce. They continue to work with their suppliers to explore strategies and timelines to achieve this goal.
To read more about our bakers' positions on palm oil, visit their websites: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers.
Thanks to the encouragement of and partnership with Girl Scout members, GSUSA and our bakers have realized the power of the Girl Scout brand to make a positive difference in the move towards sustainably produced and ethically sourced palm oil.
Why don't you offer cookies that are whole wheat, wheat-free, sugar-free, casein-free, organic, low-carb, low-calorie, low-fat, non-fat, fat-free, and the like?
Girl Scout Cookies are produced once a year, making the production of specialty cookies difficult. In addition, the demand has not been great enough to make it economically feasible. We trust our licensed bakers, who are industry leaders, to produce the best-tasting and highest-quality cookies while simultaneously addressing industry trends; scientific trends; and, of course, consumer needs including dietary restrictions and preferences. Don't forget to check the labels, you may find a variety that fits your dietary restrictions or goals.
Do you offer cookies made with vegan ingredients?
Yes. For more information, visit the Meet the Cookies page of our website.
Are there Girl Scout Cookies that are certified gluten-free?
Yes. Responding to an important consumer trend, Girl Scouts in select areas will be selling either the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip or Toffee-tastic® Girl Scout Cookies. Please contact your local Girl Scout council about availability. For more information, visit the Meet the Cookies page of our website.
How is Toffee-tastic Gluten Free certified if it is made in a bakery with wheat?
Toffee-tastic cookies baked by Little Brownie Bakers have been Certified Gluten-Free by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), a third-party organization that verifies through testing of the production line and the finished product that the cookies meet FDA guidelines for labeling them gluten-free. Toffee-tastic cookies are baked on a production line that is cleaned between production runs and tested to make sure the line is free of gluten. The NSF Gluten-Free Certification seal appears on the side of the Toffee-tastic package. For more information, visit the NSF website .
Are Girl Scout Cookies sustainable?
Sustainability refers to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that an organization addresses to provide value not only to consumers but also to the world. GSUSA is also working with its bakers toward sustainable and ethical sourcing of Girl Scout Cookie ingredients, including sustainably sourced palm oil. GSUSA is also working with its bakers to improve the environmental footprint of its cookie packaging, as we recognize the need to reduce emissions and the number of materials used as much as possible. Furthermore, Girl Scouts can choose to use their troop cookie earnings on environmental stewardship and conservation projects.
Do Girl Scout Cookies contain GMOs?
GSUSA is committed to providing cookie customers with the highest-quality products available. We understand that customers have questions about the foods they choose to eat, and GSUSA works alongside its trusted bakers to develop recipes using ingredients that will produce the best-tasting and highest-quality cookies.
Currently, Girl Scout Cookies contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Girl Scouts recognizes that many people have concerns about GMO ingredients, and we monitor member and consumer opinion on this matter while simultaneously addressing industry trends; scientific trends; and, of course, consumer preference.
It is important to note that there is worldwide scientific support for the safety of currently commercialized ingredients derived from GMO agricultural crops. The World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and the American Medical Association all share this assessment. It is also important to note that in the future, GMO ingredients may offer new, cost-effective alternatives to feeding the world's growing population.
What is the significance of the RSPO "Mixed" certification label on the side of my Girl Scout Cookie package?
RSPO stands for Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, a global association established in 2004 with the objective of promoting the growth and use of sustainable palm oil products through credible global standards and engagement of stakeholders. The RSPO "Mixed" certification label signifies that our bakers have "contributed to the production of certified sustainable palm oil." In order to use the logo, our bakers were audited by the RSPO to ensure its compliance with the RSPO criteria. Visit https://www.rspo.org/ to learn more about RSPO.
Is my Girl Scout Cookie package recyclable?
Recycling is community dependent. Girl Scout Cookie packages may or may not be accepted by your local recycling service depending on the types of materials it processes.
The box packaging for many of our cookies is made from paper and is recyclable. It contains 100% recycled content so may have been recycled numerous times already!
Several Girl Scout Cookie varieties are produced in soft pack packaging only, without a carton. The film overwrap is like the protective wrapping found inside the packages of all cookie varieties and is recyclable in certain markets. While the shift to film overwrap has eliminated thousands of pounds of paperboard from the waste stream and the reduction in packaging weight has saved thousands of gallons of diesel fuel, the material may not be accepted by some local recycling services.
Some Girl Scout Cookie varieties come with a plastic tray inside either the box or soft pack and is used to protect the cookies during transport. The material may not be accepted by some local recycling services.
We continue to work with our bakers to evaluate ways to maximize the recyclability of the package, while maintaining freshness and shelf life.
Selling Girl Scout Cookies
Who can sell Girl Scout Cookies?
All registered girl members of Girl Scouts may participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Although parents and Girl Scout adults may assist, girls make the sale, set learning and sales goals, learn to think like entrepreneurs, and gain five essential skills that are part of the program.
Participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program is voluntary and requires written permission from a parent or guardian. The experience helps girls learn essential life skills while powering amazing troop experiences for girls year-round.
We caution against purchasing Girl Scout Cookies for sale online at auction, community list sites, or sites such as eBay and Amazon, because GSUSA, your local Girl Scout council, and our licensed cookie bakers cannot guarantee the freshness or integrity of these cookies. In many instances, these cookies are expired or are using Girl Scout intellectual property without our authorization. Further, purchasing cookies in this way does not support Girl Scouts participating in the cookie program.
Can Girl Scouts who aren't in a troop participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program?
Yes! To do so, registered Girl Scouts must abide by guidelines published by GSUSA and their local Girl Scout council and be supervised by a council-trained adult. For more information about how Girl Scouts in your area can participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, contact your local Girl Scout council .
I've moved, and now I have to pre-order my cookies. Why is selling and buying cookies different from one community to the next?
Each Girl Scout council determines its precise method of helping Girl Scouts sell cookies to customers. Cookies can generally be purchased via the following means, or some combination thereof:
Preorder. Girl Scout councils provide participating girls with an order card and, for some, access to a mobile app to collect orders from potential customers. Girls turn in their order cards, the council orders the cookies, and then girls go back to the customer to deliver the cookies a few weeks later.
Direct sale. Participating Girl Scouts sell cookies directly to customers, bypassing the order-card process.
Booth sales. Participating girls sell cookies at booths authorized by councils and set up inside and outside various retail establishments. To find a cookie booth near you or learn when cookies go on sale, simply enter your zip code in the Find Cookies! search box. The safety, health and wellbeing of our girls and volunteers is and must be our priority. Girl Scout councils should comply with local and federal social distancing guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Online and mobile sales. Through Digital Cookie, girls can sell online and through mobile devices. Many girls enjoy marketing their online sale by inviting customers, via an email or social media link, to visit their personalized cookie websites. Other girls take in-person orders using a mobile app designed specifically for Girl Scouts.
Girl Scouts participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program may only sell cookies according to their council's policies and procedures and within the council's published sales dates.
How does Girl Scouts keep girls safe as they sell cookies?
The safety, health and wellbeing of our girls and volunteers is and must be our priority. All Girl Scouts should comply with local and federal social distancing guidance during COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to work with our councils and monitor the pandemic in accordance with guidelines from the CDC and local regulations.
Do Girl Scouts earn badges by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program?
Girl Scouts may earn official Cookie Business, Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship badges at every level of Girl Scouting. Girls earn badges based on completing established program activities that allow them to build new skills year after year. Girls may also earn the Cookie Entrepreneur Family Pin with support from their families as girls set individual goals and identify business tactics that support their troop goals.
In 2021, GSUSA released new Cookie Business badges that help girls think like entrepreneurs as they run their own cookie businesses and incorporate online sales via Digital Cookie. The Cookie Business badges progress from goal-setting and effective sales-pitching in person and online to using market research, creating business plans, and implementing digital marketing campaigns. Separately, girls can earn rewards based on their sales activity, such as recognition items and program credits. Contact your local Girl Scout council to learn more about the rewards established for girls in your community.
Can Girl Scouts donate cookies to military personnel or local charities?
Yes! Girl Scouts may participate in a council-approved "Gift of Caring" or "Cookie Share" program that allows girls to collect donations of cookies for military personnel or local charities.
What happens to the leftover cookies at the end of the cookie season?
To ensure freshness, Girl Scouts only sell cookies produced for the current season. Therefore, if a council or troop has cookies left at the end of the sale, GSUSA encourages them to work with local food pantries and other charitable organizations to distribute cookies as a special treat for people seeking food relief services. GSUSA works with our licensed bakers to ensure that they also have an annual plan for responsibly managing leftover cookie inventory.
Who is the top seller of Girl Scout Cookies?
The Girl Scout Cookie Program has never been about individual sales results but rather the program outcomes, through which girls learn important entrepreneurial and life skills and invest their earnings in powering troop activities year-round. GSUSA does not currently track the top seller(s) of Girl Scout Cookies on a national level. There are many impressive cookie bosses throughout the United States, and the Girl Scout Movement will continue to recognize those girls as top sellers. However, GSUSA does not currently identify a specific Girl Scout as the number one or "record-breaking" national cookie seller, because doing so does not highlight the essence of the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
The program strives to offer girls important experiences in entrepreneurship, business, and finance from a young age, as well as provide girls and Girl Scout councils with the funding necessary for a variety of activities and programs throughout the troop year. Our 111 councils, which handle their own sales tracking, may continue to track their top sellers locally to showcase the skills girls learn and the incredible ways in which girls are investing their cookie earnings to create positive change in their communities.
Cookie Revenue
Where does the money from my purchase of Girl Scout Cookies go?
When you buy delicious Girl Scout Cookies, you're helping power new, unique, and amazing experiences for Girl Scouts that broaden their worlds, teach them essential life skills, and prepare them for a lifetime of leadership.
The net proceeds from Girl Scout Cookie sales stay local with the originating council and troop to fund activities for girls year-round as well as impactful girl-led community projects. Each council determines its own revenue structure depending on how much it costs the council to buy cookies, the local retail price to sell cookies, and the amount of revenue shared with participating troops.
Cookie program revenue is a critical source of funding for Girl Scout councils to deliver essential programming to troops and is often what makes it possible to reach girls in underserved areas and maintain camps and properties.
Girl Scouts pool their money as a troop and use it to fuel their Girl Scout adventures throughout the year, including in STEM, outdoor experiences, travel, and community projects. Girl Scouts may not earn proceeds as individuals. However, Girl Scout councils offer a wide variety of recognition items, program and store-related credits, and travel experiences that girls are eligible to earn individually based on their sales. All troop proceeds and group rewards earned through participation in the Girl Scout Cookie Program must be used to enhance all girls in the group's Girl Scout experience.
Does any of the money from cookie sales go to GSUSA (the national Girl Scout organization)?
No. All Girl Scout Cookie sale proceeds stay local. GSUSA is paid a royalty by its licensed bakers to use Girl Scout trademarks based on gross annual sales. Girl Scout councils do not provide any portion of their cookie revenue to GSUSA, and no other revenue from cookie sales goes to GSUSA.
Is my purchase of Girl Scout Cookies tax-deductible?
If you buy Girl Scout Cookies and take the cookies home (to consume them), you've purchased a product at a fair market value. For this reason, Girl Scout Cookies used in this way are not tax-deductible.
Many Girl Scouts ask customers to pay for one or more packages of cookies for use in community projects or as part of a council-approved Gift of Caring or Cookie Share program. If you would like an acknowledgement of your donation for tax-deductible purposes, contact your local Girl Scout council.
Does any part of Girl Scout Cookie Program revenue support organizations other than the local Girl Scout council?
After paying the bakers, the net proceeds from Girl Scout Cookie sales are retained by the originating council and troop to power amazing experiences for girls and impactful girl-led community projects. Girl Scout troops set goals for how to spend their proceeds on program-related activities, such as paying their own way to a community event or museum. Girl Scout troops may also choose to use proceeds to purchase materials for a project to benefit the community.
Girl Scout Cookies and cookie-inspired flavors can be found in some popular food items. Can any business use Girl Scout Cookies and cookie-inspired flavors in its products?
A restaurant or small business may use Girl Scout Cookies in its desserts, provided it buys the Girl Scout Cookies from a Girl Scout, but it cannot use the Girl Scout name or trademarks to brand and market the products. Prohibited uses are "Thin Mint Shake," "Girl Scouts Cupcake," "Thin Mint Cake," and similar constructions. GSUSA has contractual relationships with select companies to include Girl Scout Cookies and cookie-inspired flavors in their products and to use the Girl Scout name and trademarks in conjunction with those products. These rights are granted under national licensing agreements, and GSUSA is the only entity that may enter into such an agreement. For more on rules and regulations pertaining to the Girl Scout brand, or to inquire about becoming a licensee, email permissions@girlscouts.org .
What role does GSUSA play in the Cookie Program?
GSUSA approves all marketing and sales materials developed by the bakers. GSUSA also provides councils with coordination and training for media activities, safety standards for girls and volunteers, a world-renowned girl leadership program, and support during cookie season.

STA runs at meet Easter Weekend
by Emma Kate Callahan, photos by Mary Hilliard and Hannah Bredar
The STA athletic department allowed track athletes to compete at KU Relays Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
Athletes who qualified for KU Relays competed in Lawrence at the new University of Kansas Track April 18 and 19, according to the KU Relay website. About 220 schools traveled from ten different states to compete. Six of 21 catholic schools, such as STA and Notre Dame De Sion High School competed on Good Friday. Catholic schools such as Rockhurst High School and St. Thomas Aquinas High School did not compete Friday, but did on Holy Saturday. Whereas some, like St. James High School, prohibited competing the entire weekend. Over the last 15 years, KU Relays have fallen on Easter Weekend four times.
Good Friday is the day of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the base of Catholicism, so the importance of this day should not go unstressed, according to the Catechism of Catholic Church. Holy Saturday is the day Jesus laid in the tomb, before the resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Athletic director Mark Hough is the head coach of the STA track team, according to Hough. Hough and other track coaches left the decision to compete up to athletes and their parents.
"It's an honor and a big deal to qualify [at KU Relays] so we didn't really think it was our place to take that away from somebody," Hough said.
When asked about KU Relays, president Nan Bone replied saying she didn't know STA was competing in KU Relays.
Later it was revealed that Hough checked with the administration sometime near January to ensure athletes could run during the Holy Week, according to Hough.
On Good Friday and Holy Saturday, the Catechism of the Catholic Church obliges Catholics to fast and abstain. In other words, Catholics should be thinking of the suffering Jesus went through by dying on the cross, versus their own suffering.
However, neither Good Friday or Holy Saturday are Holy Day's of Obligation, according to campus minister and theology teacher Jennifer Greene.
"I think also you can carry Good Friday in your heart wherever you are," Greene said. "So whether you're in church or in a relay it's still something you can be reflecting on or contemplating on too. I don't think Catholicism rests in whether or not you run in a relay."
Other students, such as Rockhurst High School junior Philip Cordova, disagreed.
"[Running on Good Friday] kind of sends the wrong message," Cordova said. "You claim to be a catholic school. STA is the only catholic school I've heard that is running."
However, many KU Relay runners, including junior Anna Bauman, did not think it was a big deal to run on Holy week.
"It could look like we don't have as strong catholic values as other schools," Bauman said. "But I don't think that was the intention of the administration when they decided or whoever decided we could compete because they gave us the option to either run or not run."

Aubameyang vows to become Arsenal 'legend' after new contract
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang vowed to become an Arsenal "legend" as the Gunners captain ended speculation over his future by signing a new three-year contract on Tuesday.
Aubameyang's contract saga had dragged on since last season amid speculation he wanted to join a club in the Champions League.
This is where you belong, Auba
@Aubameyang7 pic.twitter.com/sgViWSBYWf
— Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 15, 2020
But the Gabon forward revealed he had committed his future to Arsenal in a live Instagram stream from the Emirates Stadium.
The deal is reported to be worth £250,000-per-week ($321,000), with bonuses that could take it beyond £350,000-per-week contract of the club's highest earner Mesut Ozil.
"Arsenal fans, finally as you know I just signed the thing," Aubameyang said.
Arsenal confirmed the news themselves on their website in a statement that said: "Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has signed a new three-year contract with us!"
"Let's go and have a cup of tea…"
Those iconic laughs!
Watch the full 10-minute chat between @IanWright0 and @Aubameyang7
After scoring the goals that fired Arsenal to last season's surprise FA Cup semi-final and final victories over Manchester City and Chelsea, Aubameyang had refused to confirm he wanted to stay at the north London club.
At one stage last term, the 31-year-old admitted he faced a big decision over his future, fuelling reports that he was ready to leave amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
But Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remained confident Aubameyang was happy at the club and wanted to stay.
Over 100,000 people were watching the announcement via the official Arsenal Instagram account as Aubameyang pledged to follow in the footsteps of Gunners greats like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright.
"Everybody knows how special this club is, I have seen incredible players, passionate players, Invincible players," Aubameyang said.

Q: In SMTP, must the RCPT TO: and TO: match? When sending an email, the recipient list is given during the SMTP dialogue through RCTP TO: command. Later, in DATA command, header fields like 'To', 'Cc','bcc' are indicated. Does this RCPT TO list of recipients have to match with the headers indicated in DATA command?
Also, if the recipient is not indicated in RCPT TO, but in the To field of email header, is it going to be delivered to the recipient not in RCPT TO?

A: SMTP protocol (RFC 2821) states the following:

When RFC 822 format [7, 32] is being used, the mail data include the
  memo header items such as Date, Subject, To, Cc, From.  Server SMTP
  systems SHOULD NOT reject messages based on perceived defects in the
  RFC 822 or MIME [12] message header or message body.

And this:

The DATA    command can fail at only two points in the protocol
  exchange:

*

*If there was no MAIL, or no RCPT, command, or all such commands
    were rejected, the server MAY return a "command out of sequence"
    (503) or "no valid recipients" (554) reply in response to the DATA
    command.  If one of those replies (or any other 5yz reply) is
    received, the client MUST NOT send the message data; more
    generally, message data MUST NOT be sent unless a 354 reply is
    received.

From these statements, the headers and RCPT TO: command content does not have to match (altough they should match), and not using RCPT TO: MAY result in an error to prevent proceeding with DATA command.

A: No, they don't have to match. When the message is sent, the SMTP Server (aka Message Transfer Agent or MTA) is creating a so called SMTP envelope which contains the recipients and the sender of the message (see RFC5321):

SMTP transports a mail object.  A mail object contains an envelope   and content.   The SMTP envelope is sent as a series of SMTP protocol
units   (described in Section 3).  It consists of an originator
address (to   which error reports should be directed), one or more
recipient   addresses, and optional protocol extension material.

It is, actually, quite often that the RCPT TO: Command has more recipients that the header of the message - one common case is the usage of "blind copies" bcc: (see RFC5321):

Addresses that do not appear in the message header section may appear
in the RCPT commands to an SMTP server for a number of reasons.  The
two most common involve the use of a mailing address as a "list
exploder" (a single address that resolves into multiple addresses) and
the appearance of "blind copies".

A:
Does this RCPT TO list of recipients have to match with the headers
indicated in DATA command?

Nope.

if the recipient is not indicated in RCPT TO, but in the To field of
email header, is it going to be delivered to the recipient not in RCPT
TO ?

The RCPT.  Here's a (modified) transcript from my own SMTP client where I do just what you ask:
CLIENT: MAIL FROM:<myaccount@gmail.com>
SERVER: 250 2.1.0 OK
CLIENT: RCPT TO:<myaccount@gmail.com>
SERVER: 250 2.1.5 OK
CLIENT: DATA
SERVER: 354  Go ahead
CLIENT: Subject: Test email
CLIENT: From:'John Doe'<fakeaccount@gmail.com>
CLIENT: To:'John Doe'<fakeaccount@gmail.com>
CLIENT: This is a test...
CLIENT: .

The message was successfully sent to "myaccount@gmail.com".

Well this was certainly a surprise – and not in a good way.
We feel we must continue to make this disclaimer: We are in the finals folks. The 50 we tried were all on someone's Top Ten list. We have had 48 really good burgers. We'd go back to any of them (except those two bad ones). We're in the Final 15 though so we're now comparing the best of the best. There are no bad burgers in the Top 15. Some will just rise to the top.
Hopdoddy makes good burgers. It's been one of our mainstay burger joints since we stood in long lines at the original on South Congress in Austin. Hopdoddy coming to Dallas was a big event for us and many others. We've been there often and we'll go again. But…at least this particular night they weren't on the top of their game.
Together we tried three of their eight burgers.
Their burgers are distinguished by the add-ons and they've put together some great combinations. You can really get a unique burger. Who can't get excited about a burger with Fritos on top (well… Will for one but Matt and Tricia ordered it so it must have looked good). Problem is that all the burgers start with the Angus beef patty and it was rather lackluster. Nothing to really set it apart. Without a great patty can you have a great burger? We think not. Maybe good, but not great. Chalk it up to a bad night maybe. Go try it, prove us wrong. Thousands of you already have or they wouldn't have 18 locations in Texas, Colorado, Arizona and California.

Derby Can Earn First Championship Win Over Leeds
The Skybet Championship returns this weekend with another roster of games and the usual betting opportunities. The team that catch the eye this week is Derby County, who have had a middling start under new boss Paul Clement, with four draws from four games. They've played with good style in those games though, and Clement has vowed to continue with his brand of 'attractive' football. The Rams look a decent bet to grab their first win when they welcome Leeds to the iPro Stadium, and we've also got a couple of other outside bets at exceptional prices.
Derby v Leeds
Had this fixture had taken place last season when Derby were at the top of their game, they would have been a much shorter price and they layers are taking them on here. That's a reasonable decision based on County's four draws this season, but they've been pleasing on the eye and have so much quality that a first win can't be far away.
Paul Clement came with an excellent reputation, having served as a coach at Chelsea, PSG, and Real Madrid, and he has already shown his commitment to his players by saying they are good enough to play his possession-based style of football. The draws this term have come away at Bolton and Birmingham, and at home to Charlton and Middlesbrough. Derby striker Chris Martin is just one goal away from the milestone of 50 goals for the club, but insists that getting their first victory will mean more than hitting the back of the net this weekend.
Derby are an eye-catching price at 4/6 1.67 -150 0.67 -1.50 0.67 with Skybet, Betfred and BetVictor to get the better of Leeds on Saturday, and they're worth backing to get their first win of the season.
For Leeds it's been a remarkably similar story, and they've also drawn their first four games of the Championship season – against Burnley, Reading, Bristol City and Sheffield Wednesday. The news that actor Russell Crowe doesn't want to buy the club will have been a disappointment for fans, and they'll be preparing for another tough season. The Elland Road team have been shorn of quality over the last few years with several players leaving the club, and they've been beaten on their last seven consecutive visits to Derby.
Huddersfield v QPR
We tipped QPR to win at home last weekend, and they did the business with a 4-2 victory over Rotherham. They are a huge price to grab another away win for the season when they visit Huddersfield, and are worth a punt to continue their good start.
BetVictor offer 19/10 2.90 +190 1.90 1.90 -0.53 on a Ranger's victory, which is too good to miss.
The Loftus Road club were meekly relegated from the Premier League last season, where their away troubles were well documented, but the Championship is a different level. They've already beaten Wolves (league) and Yeovil (cup) on their travels this term, and have nothing to fear when they visit the John Smith's stadium. The longer Charlie Austin stays at QPR the more hopeful fans will be that they can retain his services for the year, and he's already bagged four goals this season. Ranger's have also drawn against Cardiff, with the opening day defeat to Charlton the only blot on their copy book. They currently sit in 6th position with 7 points, and are well-placed for a promotion push.
Huddersfield find themselves in 20th place in the early league table, after three draws with Blackburn, Brighton and Fulham, and one defeat to Hull. QPR recently signed goalkeeper Alex Smithies from Huddersfield, and that's an indication of the size of the two clubs. Chris Powell is an experienced football league manager, but he'll need every ounce of his ability to help keep his small squad in the division, and they'll find it tough against the likes of Austin and Phillips on Saturday. QPR are never a team to trust completely, but they have scored 9 goals this season compared to Huddersfield's 3, and could well have too much firepower for the Terriers this weekend.
Wolves v Charlton
Another bet at decent odds that catches the eye is a draw between high-flying Charlton and Wolves when they meet at Molineux. The Addicks have had a fine start, including victories over QPR and Hull at home, and away draws at Derby and Nottingham Forest. They are worth backing to continue the unbeaten run, but Wolves are a tough proposition at home, and this looks like a very tight match.
BetVictor, Betfred and William Hill offer 13/5 3.60 +260 2.60 2.60 -0.38 on a Saturday stalemate in the Midlands.
Their good start may have been a surprise to some, but Charlton have signed plenty of players under Guy Luzon and are currently considering a move for former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant. If he can recapture his form of old he could be an astute addition to an already good team. They're third in the table after what looked like a particularly tough first few fixtures. They faced two relegated teams in QPR and Hull and beat them both, while Derby and Forest are hard places to go and get a point. They have the ability to take another away point from Wolves.
Wanderers were only promoted the season before last, but had a great time of it last year, just falling short of the play-offs. They were fancied to continue the progress by many this season, but the second year at a new level is always difficult. They opened with a good away win at Blackburn, but had to fight back to get a point at home against Hull. They've gone on to lose the last two – at home to QPR and away to Cardiff – and with Norwich repeatedly bidding for striker Afobe, there could be plenty to distract Wolves' star striker. A hard-fought draw is the call for this one, at a decent price.

Odds: 4/6 1.67 -150 0.67 -1.50 0.67

Antique fine china from Limoges
I am looking to sell a set of antique bone china, made by Wm. Guerin from the Limoges region of France, most likely sometime around 1890. It's a family heirloom; I don't know much more about its history other than it's been in storage split between my home and my parents' home for a decade-plus. I can't really use it, and would prefer that it goes to a new owner who appreciates the quality and workmanship of articles from that era.
[Click any image for larger detail]
This is an earlier picture, of *half* of the set -- it was originally a service for twelve if I remembered right. The other half was eventually excavated from deep in a closet, and it seems that a bit of attrition had occurred over the years. [See below ...] The set is in good overall condition, with a little bit of expected fading in the gold edging. It is also fairly tough stuff -- the most vulnerable part seems to be that the teacup handles can break off.
Rim detail -- sometimes referred to as the "rose band" style. The gold edging is *not* dishwasher safe, and you probably don't want to use these in a microwave.
The manufacturer's markings on the bottom.
A while later ...
After the necessary archaeological dig was performed to unearth the rest of the set, I could get everything together. Evidently more of the teacups are missing than I remembered, but some nice serving plates came to light. Think of it as a full service for six, with a few serving trays and a lot of spare parts!
11 dinner plates
12 mid-size plates
12 small [bread?] plates
10 small bowls
10 tea saucers
6 teacups
3 serving dishes of various sizes

Q: Removing a git commit and erasing all records of it This may have been asked before however I can't seem to find a similar question elsewhere on Stackoverflow or on the interweb. I am learning git and trying to wrap my head around the concepts.
The issue I have is how can I delete a file or directory from my working directory or tree and have its "history" deleted as well. I have not yet started pushing the files to any remote repository.
I start as follows;

*

*cat > file1.txt

*git add file1.txt

*git commit -m "File 1 commit"

*rm file1.txt

*git status shows me the message Changes not staged for commit: deleted: file1.txt

Questions

*

*What's the difference between git rm and rm? My understanding is that the former creates a deletion record in git's history

*Does deleting the file always get recorded in git's history?

*How do I delete the file as well as the commit history?

*How would this be any different if I had multiple commits?

*What issues can I run into deleting a commit?

A: *

*rm just removes a file from the file system.  If git was tracking it, you need git rm to stop it from doing so.

*If it was tracking it, yes, deleting it will also be part of the tracked history for that file.

*Rewrite your branch's history to not include the initial commit of the file.  In your case, that's as simple as git rebase -i and squashing the commit where you delete the file into the commit where you added it.

*Yes, you'd need to squash them all together.  Alternately, as the rebase goes along, just fix all of the conflicts by choosing the deleted revision.

*Lots of potential conflicts with commits that modified the file in the interim.

A: one of the best guides I've seen on this is from github
https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data
a more simple way if its your last commit  is using rebase and force pushing it
git rebase -i
git push origin +master

And your questions.

*

*rm is a system "remove" command. Git's RM relates to gits internals. If you delete a file from your hard drive, Git will have a copy of it and will be able to recover it.

*All changes if commited are recorded in gits history. If you make a file and then delete it without commiting to git, Git doesnt know about it and therefore not recorded

*The link above has info on deleting a file from all commits

*same as above

*If someone else is using it or branches from your deleted commit, git will struggle to merge changes. There are usually few cases where you actually need to delete from git

Beware of CCM Artist, Derek Webb!
By David J. Stewart
God deliver us from the apostasy of our generation! Derek Webb is an extremely popular Contemporary Christian Music [CCM] singer, who has effectively watered-down the gospel of Jesus Christ and confused many young people concerning what it means to be saved. This is one of Satan's tactics of spiritual warfare in these Last Days, i.e., to confuse, mislead and prevent lost sinners from becoming born-again.
Derek Webb is also a supporter of the homosexual agenda. On Jan. 8, 2010 he played an acoustic set at the Gay Christian Network Conference, in Nashville, Tennessee. Webb says his best friend is a homosexual.[1] Derek Webb also toured in early 2010 with Jennifer Knapp, who is openly homosexual. Mr. Webb is influencing millions of teenagers with his heathen music, lyrics and lifestyle.
God says that homosexuality is a sin (Romans 1:24-32). I don't condemn Mr. Webb, for we are all guilty, hell-deserving, sinners in God's eyes (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:16-23; James 2:10). Albeit, as Christian believers God wants us to RISE UP against evildoers and REFUTE (expose) all works of darkness. Homosexuality is certainly a work of darkness, and the "gay rights" agenda is of the Devil.
Here's some brief background information on Derek Webb...
Derek Walsh Webb (born May 27, 1974 in Memphis, Tennessee) is an American singer-songwriter who first entered the music industry as a member of the band Caedmon's Call, and later embarked on a successful solo career. As a member of the Houston, Texas-based Caedmon's Call, Webb has seen career sales approaching 1 million records, along with 10 GMA Dove Award nominations and three Dove Award wins and six #1 Christian radio hits.
In 2003, Webb left Caedmon's Call to pursue a solo career. Since his departure, he has released four studio albums as well as a live album and a DVD. While these have been less commercially successful than his work with Caedmon's Call, Webb has had more of a free hand to shape his work to be exactly how he wants it.
On May 22, 2007, it was announced that Webb had re-joined Caedmon's Call, writing and recording for their upcoming album, entitled Overdressed, and would be joining the band on their subsequent tour.
Webb currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife, fellow singer-songwriter Sandra McCracken.
He is also a member of the Square Peg Alliance, a group of 9 musicians and friends who have banded together for the purpose of cross-promotion.
Webb graduated from Klein High School in Klein, TX in 1992. He was active in Young Life and spent a month working at Young Life's Frontier Ranch in 1999.
SOURCE: Derek Webb
Derek Webb recently gave an interview at 'Said at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary' (a blog featuring conversations about theology) in which he was asked to define the gospel. His pathetic answer in about 30 seconds was:
"What a great question. I guess I'd probably… my instinct is to say that it's Jesus coming, living, dying, and being resurrected and his inaugurating the already and the not yet of all things being restored to himself… and that happening by way of himself… the being made right of all things… that process both beginning and being a reality in the lives and hearts of believers and yet a day coming when it will be more fully realized. But the good news, the gospel, the speaking of the good news, I would say is the news of his kingdom coming the inaugurating of his kingdom coming… that's my instinct."
SOURCE: http://saidatsouthern.com/2007/08/derek-webb-pt1/
Webb's wishy-washy answer is deficient, lacking clarification and teaches a false gospel. He's plainly states that he is going by his "instinct," which means that he clearly DOESN'T know what the gospel is Biblically. Thankfully, we don't need to rely upon our frail and unreliable "instinct" because the Word of God clearly defines the gospel (i.e., the good news) for us.
1st Corinthians 15:1-4 Teaches the Biblical Gospel
1st Corinthians 15:1-4, "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
That's the Biblical gospel—Jesus died, was buried, and rose again.
All men are sinners (Romans 3:10; 23). There is a penalty for sin—death (Romans 6:23). Not only physical death, but also spiritual death in the Lake of Fire (Revelation 21:8; 20:11-15). To commit even one sin makes us guilty of all in God's eyes (James 2:10). Our self-righteousness is filth to God (Isaiah 64:6; Titus 3:5). There is nothing we can do to save ourselves (Ephesians 2:8,9).
But God expressed his love toward us, knowing how sinful we would be, by sending His only begotten Son into the world to die for our sins (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). This is the good news. We don't have to go to Hell when we die, we can go to Heaven to be with the Lord because He has paid for our sins with His own blood (Acts 20:27).
Thus, we need Jesus' righteousness (Matthew 6:33; 1st Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:3,4). Jesus paid for our sins, by sacrificing His precious literal, physical blood (1st Peter 1:18,19; Hebrews 9:12). Our sins can only be washed away by Jesus' blood (1st John 1:7; Revelation 1:5). We can be saved simply by acknowledging our GUILT of sin (Romans 3:19) and believing on Jesus as the Christ (Acts 10:43)... "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
Webb's gospel is so vague that it doesn't say hardly anything. It is tragic that CCM singers, who influence MILLIONS of people, have dropped the ball concerning the gospel.
I challenge you to visit ANY mainstream so-called "Christian" artist today, and show me where they present the Biblical gospel. You cannot. They're all a bunch of greedy hypocrites, who exploit Christianity to gain popularity and make lots of money.
In Romans 1:16 the Apostle Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." Paul wasn't ashamed of the gospel as all mainstream CCM singers are today.
The Biblical gospel includes telling people that the Bible condemns them to Hell fire as sinners. This means offending the audience and telling them the truth about sin. Of course, this means fewer fans and lost sales revenue. No wonder Amy Grant made the following horrible statement concerning soulwinning...
"I'm a singer, not a preacher, I'm not looking to convert anybody." (Los Angeles Times, 5/4/84, pg. 2-c)
Well, she sure has done a great job of not converting anybody, because all her fans are going to Hell fire no thanks to her. So sad! Amy Grant is a sellout, a big phony and a disgrace to the name of Christ. Sadly, millions of women have been influenced for Satan through Amy's adulterous lifestyle, worldly attitude and Christless testimony. The idea that a Christian singer is not expected by God to share the gospel is unbiblical... "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise" (Proverb 11:30). I guess that means Amy is a fool.
Satan loves religious lingo that doesn't really say anything nor convey any comprehensible meaning. Every hellbound Catholic, Jehovah's Witness and Mormon would agree with Derek Webb's interpretation of the gospel. Webb's lame definition of the gospel has sparked quite a bit of controversy throughout various blogs. I won't take the time to link them all, but they are easily found. There is no blood sacrifice, no focus upon man's sin, no need to be born-again, no requirement for repentance, no imputed righteousness, et cetera. There can be no salvation without repentance, i.e., a sincere acknowledgment of one's guilt for violating God's Law. We are sinners and Jesus is the Savior.
Notice the All-seeing eye is represented
The idea that one can go to Heaven simply by making a commitment to God or dedicating one's life to Jesus is a false gospel. The issue of one's personal sins MUST be dealt with, which is why Jesus came to die on the cross for our SINS. The Apostle Paul states in 1st Corinthians 15:3, "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures." Amen! It was OUR SINS that nailed Jesus to the cross. Jesus came to save us... "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:17).
Derek Webb Curses and Promotes Homosexuality
In his heathen song, WHAT MATTERS MORE, Derek Webb condemns God-fearing Christians who preach against the sin of homosexuality. Webb curses in the song, expressing his anger and contempt for Christians who honor the Lord by speaking out against the evils of homosexuality. What two people do in the privacy of their home is one thing, but when homosexuals parade their wickedness down America's streets, Christians must also take a stand for God against the evils of the homosexual agenda (which is to homosexualize our children and society).
Homosexuals don't want to hide their disgusting behaviour in private anymore; but rather, they want churches to support their evil lifestyle, they want ordained Sodomite ministers, and they want our children to accept their evil lifestyle as normal and proper. It just won't happen as long as there's a God in Heaven! Any victory won by the homosexual community today will be short lived (Hebrews 9:27; Romans 1:24-32). I don't condemn anybody, for we are all sinners; but when so-called Christian singers are trying to force churches to support gay rights, that's a whole different ballgame.
Here are the pathetic lyrics to Derek Webb's sinful song defending gay rights...
What Matters More Lyrics
You say always treat people like you'd like to be
I guess you love being hated for your sexuality
You love when people put words in your mouth
About what you believe
Make you sound like a freak
'Cause if you really believed
What you say you believe
You wouldn't be so damned reckless
With the words you speak
You wouldn't silently consent
When the liars speak
Denying all the dying of the remedy
Tell me, brother what matters more to you
Tell me, sister what matters more to you
If I can see what's in your heart
By what comes out of your mouth
Then it sure looks to me like being straight
Is all it's about
It looks like being hated
For all the wrong things
Like chasing the wind
While the pendulum swings
'Cause we can talk and debate
Till we're blue in the face
About the language and tradition
That He's coming to save
And meanwhile we sit
Just like we don't have give a shit about
Fifty thousand people who are dying today
Derek Webb attempts to use the Golden Rule, i.e., do unto others as you would have them do unto you, to justify the sin of homosexuality. Webb is perverting the truth of God's Word, just as Romans 1:25 said the wicked would do. I firmly believe that Derek Webb is a homosexual, and that he will come out soon if he hasn't already. Right now is a golden opportunity for God-haters to achieve instant success and wealth... just tell everyone you're gay. But this trend will not last; as soon as thousands of artists come out of the gay closet, the opportunity will be lost. So if you hate God and are money-hungry, and want to become famous real quick, announce that you are a homosexual and sing gospel songs at the same time to confuse everyone. Satan will make you a star!
I am not trying to be unkind, but Derek Webb is just another imposter exploiting Christianity for his own personal gain (having sold over 1,000,000 albums so far). The world is dying and going to Hell while thousands of CCM artists (who have strong influence over tens-of-millions of fans) remain silent concerning the truth. I'd like to see just one CCM artist tell it like it is—warning people about the Satanic Catholic Church, warning people that they'll burn in Hell if they don't get born-again, warning people that the road to Hell is paved with religion, et cetera. Instead, CCM artists talk a bunch of ecumenical garbage and never make a genuine effort to get anybody saved. To get people saved, you have to start by showing them that they are hellbound sinners under the condemnation of God's Law. There can be NO salvation without the Law of God.
None of the Apostles started a musical ministry. Jesus never focused upon music as a means of evangelism. The Biblical method is preaching... "But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching..." (Titus 1:3). It would be a wonderful thing if the CCM industry disappeared tomorrow permanently. Of course, a lot of fakes a phonies would go broke. What America needs are believers who love the Lord enough to tell the truth without reserve or apology. God didn't hold back in His Word; He is direct and in-your-face, which is why the Bible is the most loved and hated Book in the world. God is brutally honest and so should we be. CCM artists are covetous cowards!
Derek Webb is bad news.

GOP primary contest is getting nasty, personal
LAS VEGAS — Talk about nasty. The bitter, face-to-face sniping at this week's Republican debate was just a prelude to the coming weeks as Mitt Romney's rivals seek to tear him down before the leadoff Iowa caucuses.
Increasingly on the defensive, Romney is being hammered on old issues — like an accusation of hiring illegal immigrants to work on his yard — and is creating new openings for everyone from Rick Perry to President Barack Obama.
"You won't hear a lot of shape-shifting nuance from me," Perry told Republicans gathered in Las Vegas on Wednesday, hitting Romney anew the day after the two sparred onstage during a debate. "I'm going to give the American people a huge, big old helping of unbridled truth."
The target was Romney, who over the years has reversed his positions on a series of issues that conservatives champion. And the sharper, more personal tone seems sure to shape the campaign in the next month as Perry looks to undercut Romney's standing at the head of the pack.
Romney kept his focus on Obama and the economy on Wednesday, saying: "He should be less concerned about keeping his own job and spend more time helping the millions who are unemployed."
But more criticism against Romney is certain to come from fellow Republicans as the race for the GOP nomination enters a new phase.
For now, Romney tops state surveys and national polls, including the latest Associated Press-GfK survey, in the GOP campaign. Perry's and Romney's other rivals have mere weeks to change that dynamic before the Iowa caucuses on Jan. 3.
After five debates since Labor Day, the candidates won't meet again in that setting until mid-November. So they'll be mixing it up mostly from afar — on the campaign trail, on the Internet and, soon, in television advertising.
The candidates will cross paths at a dinner in Iowa this weekend where they will try to court cultural conservatives who haven't yet rallied behind a single contender. It's a prime setting for candidates like Perry, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain and others looking to emerge as the alternative to Romney. Iowa conservatives have long viewed Romney skeptically for his reversals on abortion rights and gay rights, and they have viewed his Mormon faith warily.
Perry also will give an economic speech on Tuesday in South Carolina. Romney contends his business background makes him the strongest Republican in the field able to take on Obama on the economy, and Perry needs to counter that. The Texan will point to his state's job growth during his tenure as governor, and, in a bid to win over fiscal conservatives, he plans to call for tax changes that would apply the same rate to all citizens, regardless of income level.
Behind the scenes, the candidates with the most money — Perry and Romney — and their allied groups are gearing up for the inevitable TV ad war. Each campaign is sitting on roughly $15 million and counting, and there are less than 75 days before the Iowa caucuses.


Consistency has been a calling card for Big K.R.I.T. Since his 2010 breakout mixtape, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, the Mississippi native has released a project yearly, from official albums to other standout mixtapes.
He kept that run going into 2016 with a set of 12 freestyles, released hourly beginning at noon on Tuesday. For #12for12, Krizzle goes in over some of today's most prominent rap tracks, from Drake's "4PM in Calabasas" to Kanye West's "Real Friends" to French Montana and Kodak Black's "Lockjaw."
There was more than just the music, though. K.R.I.T. also dropped some major news about his label situation: that he is no longer with a major. The 29-year-old, who signed with Def Jam back in 2010, said he's no longer associated with the historic label.
Hopefully, this means a lot more new music from K.R.I.T. is on the way.


Drive your huge rescue truck all over the mountain to save injured skiiers and exhausted snow bunnies. Tilty Skillz serve you well, Good Sir! And, NO, this would not be easier with a helicopter.
I don't hate it, but I don't love it either so I guess I'm neutral about it.
I would seizure and the car would fling everywhere. I love this game if it weren't glitching.
i didnt even do anything the truck was randomly wiggling like it had a sizure n i won werid n terrible game boooo!!


A new cryptocurrency is available this Sunday called Bitcoin Gold. The developers of this fork of bitcoin-blockchain wrote about the upcoming formal release of a software client, which will happen at 19:00 GMT on 12 November. The supplier company from Hong Kong called LightningASIC , as well as the community of developers supported the project.
The main idea of Bitcoin Gold is saving most of the properties of the Protocol, but to limit the use of special chips for mining.
It is also the latest example of a "airdropped" cryptocurrency, which will provide new coins to everyone who owned bitcoin during the separation, or up until the time the record of transactions started to differ.
A number of observers criticized the fact, that the team of Bitcoin Gold has been minig blocks in isolation, since the network was formally created last month. Besides, a certain amount of coins has been put aside to support the development.
In their comments, the project team tried to reassure the market, perhaps because of concerns about their work.
"We are extremely grateful to the community worldwide, who gave the hash power of our test networks. Besides patiently testing the mining process, they allow exchanges, pools, developers, wallets, and other service operators to implement and test their support of BTG to provide a full range of services for the Bitcoin Gold community during startup," the backers of the project read in a statement.
There is no doubt that in the days ahead, the exchanges will closely follow the launching. Shortly after its release in August, Bitcoin Cash, another cryptocurrency, separated from the Bitcoin network, accumulated nearly $4 billion of market value.
Therefore, the traders and the stock exchange will be watching, if history repeats.

A Study Reveals Build-Up Of Genetic Mutations Of The SARS-CoV-2 Virus Makes It More infectious
November 3, 2020 by Timothy Leave a Comment
The COVID19 pandemic has taken a serious toll on the world. Although health experts have been trying to develop an effective treatment for the disease, however, the virus has become quite diverse in nature with time. A study has found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been accumulating genetic mutations, which might be the reason behind the virus being more contagious. The research has enrolled around 5000 patients with COVID19 in Houston. This study has been published in a peer-reviewed journal called mBio. Experts have said that a genetic mutation called D614G, which sits in the spike protein of the virus, is responsible for it to be more infectious. This is the largest peer-reviewed study, which has been done on genomes of the virus across one metropolitan region of the US.
The research shows that the virus has been mutating due to a blend of neutral gist, which means casual genetic alterations, which do not harm or help the virus. The co-author of the study Dr. Ilya Finkelstein has said that during the first stage of the pandemic, nearly 71 percent of patients who have been dealing with COVID19, have been identified with this type of mutation. In the second wave of the outbreak, around 99.9 percent of people have been detected with the virus-carrying this type of mutation. This trend has been observed around the world, said the experts. Earlier a study, which has included more than 28000 genome sequences, has found that virus variant having a D614G mutation has become a globally ruling type of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The SARS-CoV-2 virus causes COVID19 disease. This study has been put together by scientists from Houston Methodist Hospital.
Another study, which has been done on 25000 genome sequences, has found that viruses with this mutation spread faster than other types of viruses, which do not carry the D614G mutation. This research has been done in the UK. Experts have claimed the virus with D614G mutation leads to larger clusters of infection. Some of the experts do not agree with the findings of the study. They have said that D614G mutation has been more prevalent in coronaviruses, which have landed in Europe and North America. It has given a head start to other strains of the virus. The new study says that the spike protein of the virus, which pries on the cells of the body for causing infection, builds up the genetic mutations randomly. Experts believe that at least one of these mutations allows spike protein to neutralize antibodies, which wards of the infection. On the other hand, scientists have not found any strain of the virus, which can dodge, first-generation vaccines.

Imagine walking through a town and everywhere you go people stop and stare at you. As you walk by you can feel their eyes on your back, so you glance around.....and sure enough they are still staring at you. Some people even get the courage to come over, say "hello" and ask you a few questions. The really brave ones will ask for your number....and no, they don't want a date. They just want to get to know you and have YOU as their friend.
Wherever you go you are instantly recognisable and everyone wants to know something about you. People will stop you and give free drinks and food....In fact when you are in the zoo just kickin' it, a bunch of old men come and purposefully sit down beside you just to offer you some tomatoes.
Every day as you are walking through a building, you hear people shouting your name and then the pitter-patter of their feet as they run after you just to get a glimpse. as you sit in this building, people drop in to say "hello", leave you snacks and have a few minutes chat.
Welcome to my life as a Rockstar.....well, not exactly. However, I am the Korean equivalent of a Rockstar....the Native English Teacher.
One of the first things I noticed on arriving in Korea is how much people stare at you. I have a sister who we used to tease when she was little for staring at everyone that passed by....but Koreans have her beat. I live in a town where there are several other foreigners or Waygooks (as we are called) so it never fails to amuse me when I walk into the train station, which pretty much every other Waygook in the town probably goes to at least once a month, and have every single person stare at me the entire time, I am buying my ticket until I proceed to the tracks. You would think at this stage, I'm "just another Waygook"....however, my brother did point out..."but you are REALLY short" even by Korean standards....either that or it's the hair!
I live in a small town but travel frequently to Seoul and Daejeon and more recently spent some time travelling around Korea to Chuncheon and Gyeongju. I have to admit this feeling of being famous has yet to wear thin. The amazing thing is, each of the images I have referenced above are my true life experiences. Admittedly the people shouting my name are my Kindergartners....but I never fail to get a kick and a smile out of it. Seriously, anytime I need an Ego boost I just think of my Kindys and how excited they are when they see me.
Another thing, that I have mentioned above is the kindness that I have met with since I have been here. Everywhere I have been, whether it is at school or at the zoo, someone is offering me food or drinks. My co-teacher was worried that I wasn't getting enough vitamins (I had a bad cold) so she went out and bought me orange juice.
Another day, a 5th grader (mind you I don't teach this grade), left a potato for me on my desk that they'd cooked in their Home Ec class...unfortunately I wasn't in School that day or for the next 3 soo...yeah it was pretty gross by the time I got it ...but the gesture was there. Whenever I am travelling on the Subway or on the train, someone will always stop me at least once to make sure I know where I am going. I'm not saying that you don't get this in other countries...but in the West we are so used to people from different cultures and countries that unless someone has a map and is looking extremely confused we don't really try to see if they need help. This isn't a complaint or a platform saying that you should start staring at everyone you see. It's an acknowledgement that even though Korea has become more Westernised in recent decades, a Waygook (as we are known here) can still stand out and get a much needed Ego boost :).
So do I want to trade in my life as a Native English Teacher in Korea "for fortune and fame"? You might think I'm mad but...hell to the NO!!!!!!!!! I get the fame but without the fortune, pressure or lifestyle of the Rich and Famous....honestly, who really wants their face and business in the Tabloids?
PS. The title of this post was inspired by Nickelback's "Rockstar" which peaked at number 2 on the Irish Charts a couple of years back.
PPS. The first pic of me is when I was in Korea just a week. The pic in the middle is from the TrickEye Museum that my brother and I went to one weekend. We'd great fun taking lots of pictures and looking, more than likely, incredibly silly. The pic below is from Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul which I have been to a few times. It's gorgeous.
The first picture is gorgeous! You look lovely!
Thanks, Mary Ann and Dad!

Henricus Martellus Germanus
peoplepill id: henricus-martellus-germanus
German cartographer
Intro German cartographer

Birth Nuremberg, Germany
Death 1496
Henricus Martellus Germanus is the latinized name of Heinrich Hammer (Italian: Enrico Martello), a geographer and cartographer from Nuremberg who lived and worked in Florence from 1480 to 1496.
Between around 1489 and 1491, he produced at least one world map which is remarkably similar to the terrestrial globe produced by Martin Behaim around 1492, the Erdapfel. Both show novel adaptions of the existing Ptolemaic model, opening a passage south of Africa and creating an enormous new peninsula east of the Golden Chersonese (Malaysia). Both possibly derive from maps created around 1485 in Lisbon by Bartolomeo Columbus.
The only extant manuscript world map, measuring 201 by 122 centimetres (79 in × 48 in) in size, was rediscovered in the 1960s and donated to Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. An inscription in the lower left corner states: "Although Strabo and Ptolemy and the majority of the ancients were most assiduous in describing the world we, however, bring together in this picture and carefully show in their true places the new knowledge that escaped their diligence and remained unknown to them".
A 2014 multispectral imaging project led by Chet van Duzer revealed many previously-illegible details of the map, including a depiction of a porcupine in northern Asia, references to mythological peoples such as the Hippopodes and the Panotti, and a surprising amount of information about the interior of Africa- knowledge that likely originated with the Ethiopian delegation to the 1441 Council of Florence
Martellus' map served as an inspiration for the Waldseemüller map of 1507. The overall layout was similar, and Martin Waldseemüller used the same projection as Martellus, the pseudo-cordiform projection. Both cartographers added decorative wind-heads in the borders of their maps, and both also took advantage of the extra space in the lower corners of the maps created by the swooping lines of the projection to add text blocks in those corners. The shape of northern Africa is the same on both maps, that is, it is Ptolemaic with a sharp northwestern corner. The shape of eastern Asia is similar on the two maps, with a huge peninsula jutting southwestward into the Indian Ocean, and Japan is in precisely the same position on the two maps, at the eastern edge.
Martellus also produced an Insularium Illustratum ("Illustrated Book of Islands") of which four manuscripts are extant, plus one draft in Biblioteca Laurentiana. It contains an illustrated description of islands of the Aegean Sea, mostly copied from a previous work by Cristoforo Buondelmonti, plus maps from other islands, several regional maps and a world map.
He has been identified with an Arrigho di Federigho who authored the first translation into German of Bocaccio's Decamerone. According to this theory, the surname Martellus would come from the Martelli family, to which Henricus / Arrigho was linked.

It turns out that Fallout 76 servers have as much chance of surviving a barrage of three nukes as your frail, fleshy body. Mild spoilers ahead.
A group of Fallout 76 players synchronised the launch of three nukes on the map, but as they neared ground zero, the servers crashed and they were kicked from the game. Whatever radioactive monstrosities were incubated in the nuclear fires will remain a mystery for now.
YouTuber Nickaroo93 shared the escapades of his group who deployed the nukes after defeating the Scorchbeast Queen. In case you haven't been keeping up with the various tidbits of Fallout 76 news, Scorchbeasts are high-level enemies that appear after nuking a Fissure Site, with the Queen being a level 95 unit that you have to defeat as part of a timed-event.
Digital Trends reports that the players put in enough time in the beta to access the nuke codes before the game's release, unleashing a nuke on launch day.
The first patch for the game drops today, November 19, and will include performance fixes and optimizations, and may prevent this from happening again.
It's pretty sizeable, but Bethesda has assured players that future updates "should be much smaller in size." Assuming that the server crash was triggered by the triple nuke strike, we'll have to wait for another band of intrepid wanderers to pepper the map with more nukes to see if it's resolved the issue.
