Turkey President Uses Mosque Attack Clip In Campaign, New Zealand Rebukes
HomeWorldTurkey President Uses Mosque Attack Clip In Campaign, New Zealand Rebukes
Recep Tayyip Erdogan presented the attack as part of an assault on Turkey and Islam more broadly and projected the video of the killings at his rallies over the weekend.
WorldAgence France-PresseUpdated: March 19, 2019 07:15 IST
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan projected the video and repeatedly referenced the attack
Istanbul:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan drew a sharp rebuke from New Zealand Monday for using controversial video shot by the Christchurch mosque gunman as an election campaign prop.
Erdogan, campaigning for local elections this month, has presented the attack as part of an assault on Turkey and Islam more broadly and projected the video of the killings at his rallies over the weekend.
Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters protested on Monday that such politicisation of the massacre "imperils the future and safety of the New Zealand people and our people abroad, and it's totally unfair".
Peters announced on Tuesday that he would be travelling to Turkey this week at Istanbul's request to attend a special meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Three Turkish nationals were wounded in the rampage, that killed 50 worshippers at two mosques in the southern New Zealand city of Christchurch on Friday.
The accused gunman, a self-avowed white supremacist from Australia, livestreamed video of much of the attack and spread a 72-page manifesto on social media claiming it was a strike against Muslim "invaders".
The manifesto references Turkey and the minarets of Istanbul's famed Hagia Sophia, now a museum, that was once a church before becoming a mosque during the Ottoman empire.
New Zealand authorities moved quickly to try and stop the spread of the shooter's video, warning that anyone sharing the footage faced prosecution, and Facebook removed the images from hundreds of thousands of its pages.
But at weekend campaign events, Erdogan projected the video and repeatedly referenced the attack, which he portrayed as a sign of rising Islamophobia that the West has ignored.
"This is not an isolated event, it is something more organised," he said during a campaign event on Monday in Canakkale in western Turkey.
"They are testing us with the message they are sending us from New Zealand, 16,500 km (10,250 miles) from here."
Erdogan did not project the video at the Monday event.
Peters said he had complained directly to visiting Turkish Vice-President Fuat Oktay and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
"We made it very clear that we oppose terrorism in whatever shape and form it might be and that we are for a free and open society," Peters said he told the Turkish officials.
"We had a long dialogue on the need for any other country, or Turkey for that matter, to ensure that our country, New Zealand, was not misrepresented," he told a press conference.
"We did not start or bring about this disaster and they clearly understood that," he said.
Speaking Tuesday of the upcoming OIC meeting in Istanbul, Peters said: "This important event will allow New Zealand to join with our partners in standing against terrorism and speaking up for values such as understanding and religious tolerance."
"We are very clear that the terrorist attack in Christchurch, committed by a person who is not a New Zealander, is utterly contrary to our core beliefs," he said.

If you start recruiting deadbeats and couch potatoes who are only looking to get rich quick, you'll be doing more harm than good, hurting your business – and probably the entire MLM industry – more than you might think.
Those people will quit your team – and the MLM industry as well — soon enough. But some of them won't stop there!
Experienced networkers may not be affected by this kind of gossip circulating throughout the Internet. But someone who's just started to research the industry – looking for a business opportunity to earn an extra $300-$500 a month – may find this type of content more than discouraging.

Ken Maynard and his "Wonder Horse, Tarzan"
Maynard acquired Tarzan around 1925 and the animal was half Arabian and half American Saddle horse. The horse was often listed on posters, title lobby cards, pressbook ads, et al just below Maynard's name as "his Wonder Horse Tarzan". The palomino was a frequent helper in the films and as such, the horse got a lot of screen time.
The original Tarzan died circa 1940, and the story goes that Maynard buried him somewhere in the Hollywood Hills. Have searched trade publications and newspapers for an exact date for Tarzan's passing. No luck on finding a date or year. However, we know that he was riding the white Tarzan II in 1940 when he was doing features for Colony. And in 1941-1942, Ken was doing personal appearance with the new horse:
August 26, 1942 Variety noted that "Ken Maynard ... and his white horse, Tarzan ..." are on the bill at Keith's in Indianapolis, Indiana. Maynard explained that "horse is son of 'original Tarzan' ..."
There's more photos, movie ad/artwork and information on Tarzan in the Old Corral section on Ken Maynard.
How to identify the real Tarzan: if you're standing behind Tarzan, look for a dark spot/birthmark about the size of silver dollar, located high on the right haunch close to the tail. A good example is STRAWBERRY ROAN (Universal, 1933) and you can see the spot on the real Tarzan in the early reels. Later, in the chase scene with Maynard ropin' the roan, he's riding one of the Tarzan impersonators, and as the animal turns, you can see that he's 'spotless'. There's many scenes in Ken's TOMBSTONE CANYON (KBS WorldWide, 1932) where you can see Tarzan's spot.
Right is a screen capture of Maynard and the real Tarzan (and his spot) from Chapter 1 of MYSTERY MOUNTAIN (Mascot, 1934).
Find A Grave website mentions that Tarzan was buried in a defunct stable in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles County, California and the grave has been lost to development: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=11572372
Above - Ken is training the original Tarzan ... and one of the Tarzan doubles is seen in the background of this lobby card from SENOR DAREDEVIL (First National, 1926).
Ken Maynard and Tarzan versus the 'Rattler' in the twelve chapter cliffhanger, MYSTERY MOUNTAIN (Mascot, 1934). Above is the title lobby card for Chapter Two. Note the "Wonder Horse, Tarzan" billing which was commonplace in Maynard's films.
Above is Ken Maynard in the early 1930s with Tarzan and Tarzan look-a-likes. He would use the Tarzan impersonators for stunts as well as 'chase doubles' in hard ridin' scenes rather than risk injury to the real Tarzan.
The story goes that Tarzan was originally trained by Ken to respond to voice commands (during their silent films) rather than hand signals. In their sound films, Ken was constantly chit-chattin' with Tarzan. Above are the original Tarzan and Ken in a scene from WHEELS OF DESTINY (Universal, 1933) --- while I didn't check the videotape of this scene, Ken's probably saying somethin' like: "c'mon ol' man ... untie the rope ... that's it old man ... pull the rope loose!"
Above, Ken Maynard on the original Tarzan with the Cole Bros. Circus in Texas, November, 1940.
Above, the Monogram Trail Blazers, circa 1943-44. From L-to-R are Ken Maynard (now riding the white Tarzan II), Bob Steele, and Hoot Gibson. The original Tarzan died about 1940. Gibson is riding Rusty, the Wonder Horse which had been earlier used by Jack Randall and Tom Keene in their series at Monogram. When Maynard exited the Trail Blazers, Chief Thunder Cloud came in as the replacement - Thunder Cloud rode Rusty and Gibson rode a different mount.
Above from L-to-R are Hoot Gibson riding Rusty, the Wonder Horse, Betty Miles atop her steed Sonny, and Ken Maynard on Tarzan II from one of the early entries in Monogram's Trail Blazers series (prior to Bob Steele joining the group). The story goes that Betty acquired Sonny from Bill Elliott. Betty's horse was easy to spot --- had two long white socks on the rightside, two short white socks on the left, and a small white spot on the forehead. Betty had this horse in the early 1940s, and rode it in Tom Keene's LONE STAR LAW MEN (Monogram, 1941). However, I've yet to spot Elliott riding this particular Sonny variation. You can see images of several of the hosses named Sonny that Bill Elliott used by clicking HERE.


On its second anniversary today, the government went on a major push for demonetisation benefits again. This time there was a change in the rhetoric - instead of talking about erasing corruption and black money which was also the key 2014 election promise, they focussed on digitisation and widening the tax net. Their logic - the collection of money, brought in many into the tax net. Tonight on Reality Check, we dug up all available numbers and facts in the public domain to go through what is being claimed, and if what's being told to us by the government is misleading or downright wrong.

On behalf of Ruth Smith Law Firm posted in Car Accidents on Tuesday, March 20, 2018.
Punitive damages may be available when a person is injured in a car accident or other accident. When a person is injured in a car wreck of other accident which is the result of the negligence of someone else, the injured person can recover "damages". Damages is a legal term for the harms and losses that the injured person in the car wreck received in the wreck. Usually, these damages are limited to "compensatory damages". Compensatory damages are those damages that are equal to the harms and losses. For example, in a car accident, compensatory damages might include the cost of fixing the automobile, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A settlement or jury verdict should equal the harms and losses suffered by the injured person unless there are problems with liability and/ or disputes over the amount of harm caused by the wreck.


Professor Huterer works on the nature and properties of "dark energy", a mysterious component that makes up about 75% of the energy in the universe. Dark energy causes the universe to expand at an increasing rate, but its physical nature is one of the top unsolved problems in physics and astronomy. To investigate what dark energy is, Professor Huterer and his team use Type Ia supernova measurements, large-scale structure surveys, and cosmic microwave background anisotropies as tools of precision cosmology.
Type Ia supernovae have historically been key to the discovery of dark energy. This is because these cosmic explosions have a nearly fixed intrinsic brightness. Depending on how bright or dim the measured supernova appears, its distance to us can be calculated. Large scale structure surveys probe the clustering of galaxies in the universe as well as how light from those galaxies is deflected by other massive objects on its way to us. These surveys are sensitive to the rate at which the patterns of clusters form under the force of gravity, a process that is affected by dark energy. Finally, the cosmic microwave background is radiation left over from the early universe. Tiny non-uniformities, or anisotropies, in its temperature observed across the sky, contain a spectacular amount of information about the universe and its evolution, including dark energy.
Another focus of Professor Huterer's research is testing the statistical isotropy of the universe — whether, on average, the universe looks the same in every direction that we observe. Professor Huterer is also interested in signatures of the early universe in the present-day astronomical observations, applying various methods to learn about the universe moments after the Big Bang.

I'll be putting in Lync 2010 with a sip trunk as my phone system… but what about front door camera and door strike access, intercom ?
In addition, i could use a web page to access the mobotix T24 and allow access. Sure mobotix also have their own software solution…. but as always, without having used the software, its hard to know how it really works….
In addition, having a fully fledged PC allows full flexibility for future applications and requirements….
So then comes the next issue, finding a slate PC at a reasonable price point with a wall mount…. there dont seem to be wall mounts out there for these things – not pre-made ones at least. There appears to be some aimed at ipads…. but, well, im after a device i can manage.
I get that POE'ing a slate device in one sense defeats the purpose of a mobile device…. but im really not keen on the massively overpriced custom solutions from different vendors in order to automate my home – a solution which i can control and use the available windows or web tools from is preferable by far.
So…. anyone out there have solution? A wall-mounted 10″ Windows 7 slate? Preferably POE ? And available in australia ?
hey man – never know who's going to turn up as a reader! Any business trips down to Adelaide anytime soon ?
yer, i had a look at that – and similar…. i think its kinda expensive for what im after…. there's this one http://shop.skinnybytes.com/101-PoE-Computer-TouchScreen-Tablet-PoE-101.htm which is also POE powered… which is a bonus…. and at $699 of yank funny-money, its 1/2 the price of the fujitsu even after shipping….
Did you ever solve this one ?
I'm in the exact same situation, have the T24 looking for a wall mounted touchscreen around 7 to 10 inch. Tried to setup the sip side of the T24 to iPhone/iPad, not really working. I want to preview who's at the door before I accept a VoIP call from the camera.
Would be interested to know if you have this setup working.
There's plenty going on with the end stages of construction of my house, so i've shelved looking for a solution at the moment.
Im hopeful that along with windows 8 – and the inevitable slow of slates that will come with it, that the chances of a nice, maunfacturer wall mount mount will become available. So from the point of view, im going to wait a little while and see if anything pops out…. if not, then ill have to look at other options.


Inside them are two bunk beds, tables, chairs, refrigerator, stove, kitchen utensils, blankets and pillows.
The cottages all have a small veranda overlooking the water.
They are located about 50 meters from the service building.


Rule #1: Stand well back from the street when waiting to cross. It's not safe to stand right on the curb. If you talk to your local police, they'll back us up on the frequency with which cars or buses find themselves forced up onto a sidewalk. You need to give yourself some margin of safety against that occurrence. Most safety experts recommend that pedestrians (and strollers) stand 2 feet back from the curb when waiting at an intersection. And we've heard of some cops who, based on what they've seen, think you need to stand at the building line to really be safe.
Rule #2: Keep conscious about the stroller. There are way too many accidents involving vehicles and strollers. Quite often the driver can see you but the stroller might be out of his field of vision. So you have to be extra careful and account for the stroller's extra length in every crossing decision you make. To the extent you can, reduce the length between you and the end of the stroller; keep it close and be vigilant.
Rule #3: Don't cross unless the light says walk. We all know this and, of course, we all ignore this with abandon. Who has time, after all, to wait for the next light change? But you're really pressing your luck if you've got young children in tow. Their legs are shorter, and they just can't make it as fast as you can. Want to know when grown-ups violate this dictum? Running to make a bus. In fact, at a busy intersection near Julia's apartment, the local police precinct posted notices admonishing pedestrians not to do just that. Apparently, there had been a rash of accidents involving pedestrians who had rushed across the intersection to catch a waiting bus at the stop on the other side. Also, points out Barbara Boisi, safety expert for the Parents League of New York, lights have different ways of working. One busy intersection near Julia's sons' school has a series of lights designed to clear the intersection from turning cars before the walk signal goes on. However, many pedestrians don't realize that and start walking too early, which has led to an unfortunate number of pedestrian incidents.
Rule #4: Use the pedestrian button. Signal crossing times differ among cities, among intersections, and can even change with the time of day. Who knew? In pedestrian-friendly Center City Philly, WALK signals run 7 seconds or more compared to typical city times of only 4 or 5 seconds. (Of course, you also get a few more seconds from the flashing DON'T WALK interval, but that's not a whole lot of time.) If you're not familiar with the dynamics of a particular intersection, you may find that a leisurely stroll with your 2-year-old turns into a terrified run as the WALK signal changes to DON'T WALK before you've taken 10 steps. On that theory, use the pedestrian button. Assuming it's working, it will get you different benefits in different places. At a minimum, it will speed up the time that the light changes to WALK again, but in some spots it actually lengthens crossing times. (In Boston, for example, where streets are typically allotted 7 or 8 seconds for crossings, button-pushing gets you 20.) As an extra added benefit, little kids love to push the button, so they will eagerly look forward to pursuing this exercise every time you need to cross.
Rule #5: Hold hands. As children get beyond 2, a little more willful and a little more independent, there is a great tendency among city parents and caregivers to give them maybe a tad more freedom than is prudent. You may think they know to stop at the curb but, according to the experts, you're taking an awfully big chance. Kids really don't have the maturity to take care of themselves in traffic until they're 9, so how can you expect your 4-year-old to make appropriate decisions? Hold their hands firmly when nearing a crossing and all the way through to the other side. In the same vein, horseplay at a street corner should be strictly forbidden. Young kids will get lost in the moment, and the next thing you know, one of them will be out in the street.

hi! my name is luna and i am from this beautiful place called ohio. creating music is my release for the constant overload of feeling and emotion in my life, and without it, i honestly think i would be lost. i find the most amazing feeling blossoms inside of you when getting lost in a song you are creating; you don't really think consciously about what you are making, but rather the music just reflects your current state of mind. just a regular human makin' tunes while exploring this crazy planet. my insta is @islandboyluna, i post pretty often over there!


University of Illinois psychology professor Aron Barbey proposes that the brain's dynamic properties drive human intelligence.
"When we say that someone is smart, we understand intuitively what that means," said University of Illinois psychology professor Aron Barbey, the author of the new paper and member of the IGB's Gene Networks in Neural & Developmental Plasticity theme. "Usually, we're referring to how good they are at making decisions and solving particular types of problems. But recently in neuroscience, there's been a focus on understanding in biological terms how general intelligence arises." That requires studying the structural and functional characteristics of the brain.
"For example, brain regions within the occipital lobe at the back of the brain are known to processes visual information," he said. But interpreting what one sees requires the integration of information from other brain modules.
"To identify an object, we also must classify it. That doesn't depend only on vision. It also requires conceptual knowledge and other aspects of information processing, which are supported by other brain regions," he said.
"The prefrontal cortex, a structure at the front of the brain, for example, has expanded dramatically over the course of human evolution," Barbey said. Because this brain region is known to support several higher-order functions such as planning and organizing one's behavior, scientists have suggested that the prefrontal cortex drives general intelligence.
"But really, the entire brain – its global architecture and the interactions among lower- and higher-level mechanisms – is required for general intelligence," Barbey said.
Brain modules provide the basic building blocks from which larger, "intrinsic connectivity networks" are constructed, Barbey said. Each network includes multiple brain structures that are activated together when a person engages a particular cognitive skill.
"For example, the frontoparietal network is activated when attention is focused on external cues, the salience network is engaged when attention is directed to relevant events, and the default mode network is recruited when attention is focused internally," he said.
Neuroscience research on general intelligence has studied two primary facets of intelligence, Barbey said.
"There are the pathways that encode prior knowledge and experience, which we call 'crystallized intelligence.' And there are adaptive reasoning and problem-solving skills that are quite flexible, called 'fluid intelligence,'" he said.
"Rather than forming permanent connections, we are constantly updating our prior knowledge, and this involves forming new connections," Barbey said. The more readily the brain forms and reforms its connectivity in response to changing needs, the better it works, he said.


Joshua Jackson didn't look half-bad, either.
Diane Kruger is one of the Hollywood style stars who almost never makes a red carpet misstep, and she kept her streak going on Monday night at the premiere of Showtime's new series "The Affair," which stars her equally well-dressed boyfriend, Pacey—erm, we mean Joshua Jackson.
The actress wore a black gown by designer Michael van der Ham, which features silver embroidery and some very on-trend off-the-shoulder detailing. To add a bit of brightness, Kruger chose a pair of hot pink Dior sandals, which matched her sweet shade of pink lipstick. She posted the look on her brand new Instagram page (!), which we're hoping will turn into a meticulously logged diary of her daily outfits — and Jackson's too, of course.
We don't know how it's possible for a pair of humans to look so perfect all the time, but we sure do enjoy watching them (Kruger, especially) kill it over and over again.

Q: Invoke-RestMethod automatically converts UTC date strings using PowerShell 7.x I'm testing an existing PowerShell module that uses a third party REST API. With PowerShell 5.1, the module correctly returns json with an embedded date string in UTC format, as expected. However, when using PowerShell 7.x, the UTC string is automatically converted to the local time format within the json output.
This is obviously a change in the v7.1 Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet. Is there a way to prevent this automatic conversion of date strings?

Stephen Howard Russell, 76, of Hinesburg, died peacefully on April 27, 2018, after an extremely short struggle with cancer, at the UVM Medical Center.
Stephen was born October 22, 1941 in Burlington, Vt., to Phyllis (Eddy) and Howard Russell. The oldest of seven children, he resided his entire life in Hinesburg, spending much of the time on the family's farm. He graduated from Hinesburg High School in 1959, from the University of Vermont in 1964, and received his master's in math from the University of New Hampshire in 1974.
On August 29, 1964, he married Holly Thow of Barre, Vt. Raising four children with Holly brought challenges and joy to his life. Their daughter, Mary, died of leukemia at the age of 6. In August 2014, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Scotland with their children and grandchildren.
Steve was a math teacher at South Burlington Middle School for 30 years. He loved teaching and kept track of his students long after they had graduated. Over the years, he also worked refereeing soccer and basketball games, roofing houses, haying, and a long list of other "side jobs." He was active, running cross-country in college and skiing the headwall and bowl of Tuckerman's Ravine for over 30 years.
Steve fulfilled a lifelong dream when he got his pilot's license in the early 1990s and was always looking for people to "go up for a ride." In 2002 he flew to Alaska with longtime friend Bruce Ladrie. After retiring from teaching he worked for Valic managing mutual funds, and served on the Hinesburg Elementary School Board and the Town Forestry Committee for numerous years.
Steve respected people from all walks of life. Like his father, he loved to share a good story yet could also be an amazing listener. He knew hard work, but also a good laugh. He was passionate about nature, enjoying hiking and camping with family. His siblings and their spouses were incredibly close and supportive to the last days of his life. One of his favorite spots to share with friends and family was at his camp in Errol, N.H. This is where he could continue to enjoy the great outdoors later in life by snowmobiling, 4-wheeling, hunting and playing cribbage.
Steve will be forever remembered for his steadfastness, humor, and love of learning by his wife Holly; his son Ben of Johnson, Vt.; daughters Beth (spouse Alex) of Bruckmuehl, Germany, and Sarah (spouse Michael) of Los Angeles, Calif.; grandchildren Philip, Fiona and Indiana; siblings Philp and Marlene Russell of Monkton, Vt., David and Janet Russell of Starksboro, Vt., Henry Russell (deceased), Anne and Roger Donegan, Howard Russell and Paul Hawkins, Harry and Kenneth Russell of Hinesburg; brother and sister-in-law Gordon and Brenda Thow of Montpelier, Vt.
A memorial service is planned for later this summer. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Carpenter Carse Library, 69 Ballard's Corner, P.O. Box 127, Hinesburg, VT 05461.
Condolences may be made online at gregorycremation.com.

The influence of the music video may have waned since the heyday of MTV, but they can still play a pivotal role in how we enjoy, discover and define our musical tastes. Reasons may vary, but not every hit or game-changing track comes equipped with a clip to match.
Artists can work miracles with shoe-string budgets, and sometimes the simplest videos are the best. Today we take a look at seven iconic clips that managed to worm their way into our hearts with nothing but charm, a simple idea or even a little bit of silliness.
There's a special charm to low budget film clips, but only when done right. Celebrate the greatest clips concocted in a lower tax threshold with these 7 picks.
50 Ft Queenie embodies PJ Harvey to a tee. Reinfusing the stagnant rock genre with the swaggering bravado of hip hop, the track was a pivotal point in '90s culture. A statement of detached femininity sure, but on a less intellectual slant Polly Jean is sort of just… rolling around on the floor.
But you can't help but love her for it.
The king of pop and high budget films clips, Michael Jackson has a menagerie of thrilling videos to his name. While this green screening was innovative at the time, by modern standards loftier overheads would probably come from dry-cleaning the tux.
This early clip shows Jackson at his finest – occupying a stage by himself, and flying high on naught but his bottomless charisma.
Madge's high budget music cinematography would come to dominate the 80s and the better part of the 90s. Clips for Die Another Day, Express Yourself and Bedtime Story rank second, third and fourth respectively in the top five most expensive music videos of all time.
Despite the millions she would later spend, things were pretty bare bones at this stage. As far as set design goes, there's little to see aside from an inexplicably slumbersome rococo gentlemen at the back. Still, there's no cause to deny the sheer charisma the artist possessed in her formative years.
The opening track of T.N.T., AC/DC's 1975 single is one of rock's most iconic fist pumping pounders. Sadly the clip may not have had the lavish budget the rock stars of the '80s would later come to expect. Then again, it's a little unsettling to think about what Bon Scott would have gotten up to with a million dollar budget.
In spite of adverse budgetary concerns the group still managed to pull together this killer truck-back tour of the 1970s Melbourne CBD.
Notions of auteur post punk filmmaking to one side, it's just Morrissey swinging some flowers about the place. Placed within its historical context (a reaction to the normativity of the early 80s pop) it's actually pretty good.
If you count yourself amongst Morrissey's devout following, you probably already had this pinned as a favourite.
The Replacements had troubled relationships with their label, each other, the record buying public, and just about everyone else. Still, they were one of the greatest underground 80s acts to ever come close to cracking into the mainstream.
Given that the group were known for wholesale destruction of musical equipment and lighting cigarettes with hundred dollar bills on a nightly basis, it might not come as a surprise that they were never given the biggest budgets for MTV clips. Here they employed one continuous shot of a speaker playing their latest single. In true Replacements style, they still found something to destroy.
Watch this one until the end if you want to see some hi-fi get splintered.
The Pixies' clumsy geological parkour here is actually a cute little protest. The video was hastily cut to satisfy a rule requiring all singles performed on the Top of the Pops to have been released with an accompanying film clip.
To counter this, a cheap video was made filming the group running across a quarry. To their credit, the group saved money by not hiring a director; they're actually running towards the camera to turn it off.

Paige Blair
Written By Sasha
Blood Status: halfblood
Wand: not given
As far back as she can remember, Paige has been described as a handful - by neighbours, her parents, probably her grandparents too if not in English, even on primary school report cards. It's not fair, because she really does try to be good. It's just sometimes she has to move or talk and people think that means she's not paying attention and then she gets in trouble. Sitting or doing projects in class is the worst situation for that to happen, but it always does, and now that she'll be trapped at school over the weekends too instead of getting to go home and run around the beach for a break… well, that's a bit worrisome. When she isn't being defined by her wildin', Paige enjoys hanging out with her friends and making fun of her brother. She looks up to Joey but he's still a dummy.
Slight, moderately dark, and with heavy-lidded eyes, Paige is basically a copy of her brother, although at the age of thirteen she hasn't yet been given the privilege of changing her hairstyle. Her long, almost-black bangs frame her face from eyebrows to chin in the classically disappointing bowlcut that her Asian half of the family is fond of. Luckily, she hasn't been forced into Joey's old clothes and has been able to pick out her own - largely a mix of school uniform skirt-and-blazer sets, colourful rompers (she's a big fan of florals but any pattern is fine really), and lots of pink socks.
Paige was born shortly after the wedding of May Nguyen, a second-gen immigrant from Thailand and journalist for The Sydney Morning Herald, and Cooper Blair, a pureblooded Ozzie and the (not self-proclaimed but not denied either) dumbest aerospace engineer around. Her early years in their small flat were comfortable but chaotic, having embraced a lot of her mum's small routines and fed off her frustration when her dad's forgetfulness or Joey's more laid-back approach got in the way. So far the biggest frustration has been when her dad forgot to mention he was a wizard. To be fair, he doesn't use magic in his work or daily life much at all, but also it's so unfair; she was blamed for all kinds of things growing up that weren't even her fault in the end! Paige initially went to school at the New Zealand Academy of Magic, because her parents thought it was better to keep her close at hand even though she really wanted to stay with her big brother. She tried really hard not to cause too much of a ruckus but apparently it didn't work because now she's getting pulled out of NZAM and sent to RMI instead. It's going to suck being away from her friends, but maybe it's OK too, since it's sort of what she wanted all along.
Hanging out at the beach, the colour pink, playing games (board, action, card, made-up, it doesn't matter)
Reading, family dinners, being blamed for things she technically did but not really
It's all about the squad goals: make new friends at RMI fast, introduce them to her friends from NZAM, and then she'll have one big awesome group of friends!

Is Hudson Thames Gay?
I am aware that you want to know if homosexual or Not, which is the reason why I will reveal the truth about it. Stick around for a moment, and you'll determine the reply.
Hudson Thames Gay-o-Meter
Hudson Thames Photos
We are mindful of what Hudson Thames want us to believe. We've been Paying attention and we observed his activities. Hudson Thames had numerous connections with women in his life, and we witnessed his behaviour in the previous couple of decades. When he finished things with his up all of us cried. Until they ceased being so they seemed like the ideal couple. Since Hudson Thames has been sleeping around a lot, but there was not anything serious. All the single women rejoiced, naturally. They had they chance with him while he went night.
Hudson Thames needs us to think a certain way, and that which is known by us It's. It's not like we can't see what he is around. He had a few relationships with women through the years, and we all watched what the tabloids had to say about it. When he finished things with his girlfriend, we all felt sorry for them. It was not supposed to be, although they looked as if they were the magical duo. None of the relationships was stable, although Hudson Thames appeared in public with women. To the excitement of of the women in town, Hudson Thames has been clubbing a lot recently, which gave them a fair chance.
We understand what Hudson Thames would like us to think. We've Got all Been witnesses to his action. He had a couple of connections and we all enjoyed the scandal that came along. If he broke up with his long term sweetheart, we were very sad. They seemed to be the perfect couple. The keyword being "appeared" After the break-up, Hudson Thames had a couple of flings, but it was never serious. All the women in the city believed they had an opportunity with him since he would go after night.
Hudson Thames leads us to think a certain way, however we read The tabloids, and we all know what he has been up to. He was in a couple of relationships that we knew of, once all hell broke loose and we all grabbed our popcorn. The fact he broke up with his significant other left a lot of people sorrowful. Everyone believed that they were supposed to be. After the experience and each of the scandal, Hudson Thames developed a phobia and did not engage in something serious. But that didn't stop the girls being around him when he went outside.
Sometimes you can tell a lot about a Individual simply by looking In the people he surrounds himself. Not many men and women hang out with other people who possess the exact preferences, but they like to surround themselves with others that are more understanding compared to those that are not. There is a chance that the person that you feel to be gay told the group.
If they spend a lot of time at one another's houses, you may be right about him.
There show Buddies are, and I will tell you that you are. Just look at his friends if you suspect someone might be homosexual. Because they can express themselves than with individuals, folks who know each other tend to stick together, although that may not be the case. Odds are that he has told his group. In addition, they might be spending plenty of time which can confirm your suspicions.
You can tell a great deal about a person judging from the group he is A part of. Just pay attention should you suspect that someone is homosexual. The majority of the times it will be a lot more easy for a homosexual person to surround himself with individuals of exactly the exact tastes because he might find the sympathy he wants to say himself. It's likely that he came out into them, something that brings him comfort. Another indication can be the fact that the individual in question crashes at his friends than usual.
Just look at if You'd like to determine the nature of a man His friends. With whom he surrounds himself pay attention times. People tend to keep to their own, although it's not always the case, Rather than being a part of groups that don't understand them. They're more Inclined to come out of the closet facing people than facing Straight ones. Furthermore, if the person You're considering spends a Great Deal of Time one of the homosexual friend's house, odds are that he's gay.
There are actors. When a famous Person reveals the simple fact he's gay, folks tend to respond differently. They would consider it a courageous act and will encourage that particular celebrity. If someone famous discloses his orientation, it is considered a Public Relations stunt. The press will redirect its attention and it'll boost his career. The ideal case in point is Caitlyn Jenner. She's after she disclosed the fact that she identifies as a girl, a TV show.
With folks, things are different. When Their orientation is disclosed by them, everybody praises and encourages them like it had been a daring gesture. A shift in a celebrity's preference means more attention in the network, which leads to a career boost. One of the very best examples will be Kristen Stewart. She acquired plenty of roles, both in movies and music videos, after she had told everybody she is, in fact, a female. What do you call that?
Things are different for actors. When a celebrity comes out As homosexual, individuals are supporting, as if it were any sort of act that is brave and extremely encouraging. Because there is a good deal of media attention, which will lead to a career 24, this means a good deal. The ability of media is wonderful. Just have a peek. Bruce became Caitlyn, also Caitlyn received a brand new TV show if she was Bruce, She wasn't worth it, so you see where I am going with this.
Famous folks have it simple. They can afford a PR disaster, But they don't get that most of the times. They get support from their fans and they are praised for their guts of coming out as gay. Its focus turns on such topic. From Keeping Up with the Kardashians, can you recall Bruce Jenner? He eventually became Caitlyn Jenner and got a whole new TV series. How about that career boost?
Is Hudson Thames gay? Conclusion
Continues to discriminate against Folks, making me sad. There are folks like me that don't look at several individuals as if they weren't human beings. Some choose to behave as if they are superior and will always be intolerant towards individuals of a different sexual orientation.

### Translations and Variants

As mentioned previously when viewing the page details you can also view the various translations and page variants which have been created. These variations are also useful when performing A/B testing.

When creating/editing a landing page, there are the options to configure a language and translation parent. By selecting a translation parent, the current item is then considered to be a translation in the selected language of that parent item.

If the contact has a preferred locale or browser set in an available translation, and that translation exists, the translated landing page will automatically display for that contact. A contact's preferred locale is automatically gleaned from the browser's settings but can be overridden by editing the contact's preferred locale profile field.

It is also possible to have translations of A/B test variants.

### New/Edit Pages

The page form allows you to create new pages and offers a number of fields for your convenience. You will notice most of them in the following screenshot.  In particular you will notice the Page Builder button on the top toolbar. This is where you will launch the page builder to easily create your page layouts.

![](/pages/media/landingpage-1.jpg)

Every part of the template is editable via drag and drop.  Click in a text box to edit.  Click on an image to replace.  Once you're happy, just click "Close Builder" and you'll see a representation of the page.

![](/pages/media/landingpage-2.jpg)

You can fine tune any aspect of the page via the Content tab and Source Code view.  You can even paste your own HTML inside.

![](/pages/media/landingpage-3.jpg)

You are also able to define a template to use with your page as well as the language of your page. Notice the convenience field where you can define the parent page as well. This allows you to link pages.

The page builder provides quick and convenient access to assets, other landing pages, and forms. All those are accessible via tokens in format `{component=item}`, for example `{form=4}`. A drop-down with options will appear when you type `{` character and you can search for the right token by typing its name. For example if you type `{for`, it will suggest the right token for the a form which has "for" in its name and you can select it via keyboard or by clicking on it.

#### Code Mode

[Go to the Code Mode docs](./../themes/code_mode.html).

### Unpublish a page

The pages can be unpublished and published again with a click of a button or by setting publish/unpublish date in the page configuration. Unpublishing a page means that contacts will see the 404 message (page not found) instead of the page itself.

#### Redirect when a page is unpublished

Mautic allows you to configure a 301 (permanent) or a 302 (temporary) redirect. The redirects will work if the page is unpublished.

Note: When you are logged in as a Mautic administrator, you will always see the page content even though it is unpublished. But if you log out of Mautic or open the page in an incognito window to emulate access of a normal contact, you will be able to see the 404 message or the redirect if configured any.

1 SO ISRAEL made his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba [a place hallowed by sacred memories] and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. [Gen. 21:33; 26:23-25.]
2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night, and said, Jacob! Jacob! And he said, Here am I.
3 And He said, I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will there make of you a great nation.
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you [your people Israel] up again; and Joseph will put his hand upon your eyes [when they are about to close in death].
5 So Jacob arose and set out from Beersheba, and Israel's sons conveyed their father, their little ones, and their wives in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6 And they took their cattle and the gains which they had acquired in the land of Canaan and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him:
7 His sons and his sons' sons with him, his daughters and his sons' daughters–all his offspring he brought with him into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the descendants of Israel who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
9 And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.
11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Iob, and Shimron.
14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah. All of his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.
16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.
17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
18 These are the sons of Zilpah, [the maid] whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter. And these she bore to Jacob–sixteen persons all told.
19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.
20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.
21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob–fourteen persons in all.
23 The son of Dan: Hushim.
24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These are the sons of Bilhah, [the maid] whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter. And she bore these to Jacob–seven persons in all.
26 All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt–who were his own offspring, not counting the wives of Jacob's sons–were sixty-six persons all told.
27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob [including Joseph and Jacob himself], who came into Egypt, were seventy.
28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct him to Goshen and meet him there; and they came into the land of Goshen.
29 Then Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen; and he presented himself and gave distinct evidence of himself to him [that he was Joseph], and [each] fell on the [other's] neck and wept on his neck a good while.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face [and know] that you are still alive.
31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, I will go up and tell Pharaoh and say to him, My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32 And the men are shepherds, for their occupation has been keeping livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.
33 When Pharaoh calls you and says, What is your occupation?
34 You shall say, Your servants' occupation has been as keepers of livestock from our youth until now, both we and our fathers before us–in order that you may live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.

Kaindu backs under-fire Mahachi
9th April 2014 Sport
HIGHLANDERS coach Kelvin Kaindu has pleaded with the club's fans to lower expectations on star winger Kuda Mahachi.
Following an awe-inspiring showing at the Chan tournament earlier this year, Mahachi's profile shot up, winning him a five-year contract with Mamelodi Sundowns before he was loaned out to Highlanders for six months.
But he has been battling to settle at the Bulawayo giants, drawing criticism from Highlanders fans who expected top-drawer performances from him.
"Mahachi is a very good player and there is no doubt about that. It is just that there are a lot of expectations on him from people. The pressure is just unnecessary because he needs time to adjust here. He will show the best of himself before he leaves for South Africa," Kaindu said.
Mahachi's failure to make an impact amid high expectations has been largely exposed by Highlanders poor run of form that has seen the Bulawayo giants winless in five straight matches.
Also compounding his woes was missing the decisive penalty in the Independence Trophy semifinal against FC Platinum and in the process denying Highlanders a final berth.
Last Saturday he came on as a substitute in Highlanders' 0-0 draw with Chapungu but made no difference as Kaindu's side were desperate for goals.

Is There Life After Death for the Publishing Industry?
by Louis J. Wasser July 18, 2014 0 comment
Much chatter fills the air these days about the so-called "death" of publishing. Newspapers have either closed, or morphed from print to digital format; journalists and editors have been canned; and publishing houses have either dissolved, or been gobbled up by bigger fish in the business. Writers who can no longer find jobs now write angry essays or books about an end to literacy. After all, if they don't have an educated readership, is it the writers' fault they're having difficulty knocking out a living?
But even a less-educated reader knows that what's changed everything is the Internet. The marble halls of the Manhattan publishing industry have been virtually abandoned; many talented editors are now pursuing alternative careers; and publishing as we once knew it is essentially restricted to The Big Six — Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Random House, Macmillan, Penguin Group, and Hachette. Of this group, only Harper Collins and Simon & Schuster are American. Random House and Macmillan are owned by German companies. The Penguin Group, part of Random House, is also British, and Hachette is French.
Although there are only six big global players remaining in the publishing game, news of its death, to tweak Mark Twain's memorable quote, is still premature. What truly is dead as a doornail though is the industry's patrician American sub-species known as the Manhattan independent publisher. They've all gone corporate. The names Scribner, Harper & Row, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux are effectively imprints — a now fancy name for publishing ghosts. Once upon a time in America, wise and patient editors like Maxwell Perkins, courtesy of Charles Scribner & Sons, would nurture developing authors like Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. Gone are those days.
To get some sense of the gentlemen's dead-tree publishing market, consider this short Wikipedia summary of the Scribner dynasty — the life span of each generation, along with its years of tenure.
Charles Scribner I (1821–1871), 1846 to 1871
John Blair Scribner (1850–1879), 1871 to 1879
Charles Scribner II (1854–1930), 1879 to?
Arthur Hawley Scribner (1859–1932), circa 1900
Charles Scribner III (1890–1952), 1932 to 1952
Charles Scribner IV (1921–1995), 1952 to 1984
Talk about brand names! The original Charles Scribner & Sons is older than Coca Cola and Ivory Soap. As of 2011, the firm was taken over by CBS.
Publishers no longer depend on long-term relationships with authors. Authors, like anyone else, can be had for a bigger buck. As movable assets, they've helped alter the dynamics of what was once a business carried on by a handshake and a martini lunch.
The collateral victim in the collapse of the publishing dynasty has been the independent book store. Want to browse those musty shelves to make a fascinating intellectual discovery? Sorry — but Google has now replaced the physical act of exploratory book browsing. Names like Coliseum Books in New York City, Leary's Bookstore in Philadelphia, and Brentano's in Chicago have all gone the way of the woolly mammoth. Enter amazon.com!
Much negative comment has been made of Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos. The question has even been raised whether he's even good for books.
That said, I'd love to be a fly on the wall when one of Bezos's detractors orders a book. I doubt whether they patronize the last remaining book store in their area to pay retail to read a new novel by Karen Russell or a recent of edition of the Dialogues of Plato. My guess is they also order these books online from Amazon.
I'll bet too when they receive their books, they make their way down to their local coffee shop, and exploit the difference between the retail price and the Amazon.com price of the books to pay for a latte — so they can relax while they read the printed edition they had just received through their online order. If you have to break an egg to make an omelet, Bezos has cracked more shells than any online entrepreneur. Welcome to the new world of retail book distribution!
Amazon.com hasn't stopped at hollowing out the printed book business either. It's competing tirelessly for a big piece of ebook publishing. The literary community is furious over Bezos's strong-arm business tactics with the French publisher Hachette. He's been delaying delivery in its print book sales just to negotiate a bigger slice of the pie from its ebook sales.
Is there life after death for the publishing industry then? Of course there is. A very long tradition of the printed word has caused us to lose sight of the fact that the verb "to publish" actually predates the debut of Gutenberg's press by at least 100 years.
While Gutenberg was certainly on to a good thing, his predecessors knew they didn't need paper and ink to publish. The miraculous success of amazon.com is conspicuous albeit annoying proof that the great inventor's successors also don't ultimately need these cherished artifacts.
