Fans of the world's biggest celebrity names will drop thousands — or even millions — to get their hands on prized memorabilia.
Kim Kardashian recently paid $65,625 — more than three times the expected selling price — for a velvet jacket worn by Michael Jackson for her 6-year-old daughter, North.
Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" dress sold for more than $1.2 million, while James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 went for $6.4 million.
From Scarlett Johansson's used tissue to a lock of Elvis Presley's hair, these celebrity items sold for eye-watering sums.
Would you spend more than $10,000 for one of your favorite celebrity's fake nails or $5,000 for a used tissue?
From the iconic ruby red slippers worn by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz" to One Direction singer Niall Horan's half-eaten toast, prized celebrity memorabilia has cost mega fans and private collectors boggling amounts of cash.
Here are 24 celebrity memorabilia items that have sold for astounding amounts of money.

The pricey Christmas present was altered to fit North by pinning the custom-made jacket's body and sleeves to fit her proportions, Kardashian explained in an Instagram story.
Ahead of the auction, Julien's predicted the jacket would sell for between $10,000 and $20,000. Jackson wore the jacket to attend Elizabeth Taylor's 65th birthday party in Los Angeles on February 16, 1997, and again at the 50th Cannes Film Festival screening of his film "Ghosts."
"North is a really big Michael Jackson fan and we knew she would love this," Kardashian said on her Instagram.
As another Christmas gift for North, Kardashian purchased Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" hat.

The car was used in both the TV series and in the 2000 TV movie "The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood."
The design of the car's roof — a giant Confederate flag — became a source of controversy in 2015. TV Land ended up pulling scheduled reruns of the show.
Called "the holy grail of movie memorabilia," Judy Garland's ruby red slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" were reportedly listed at $6 million by auction site Moments in Time.

"I have been the biggest fan of Olivia since I was a little girl, since 'Grease' came out, and my friend called me two days before the auction. I didn't know it was happening … and I thought, 'Oh my God. I've got to try to get these,'" Blakely said on "CBS This Morning."
Blakely says she plans to frame the iconic pants for display at the Spanx headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. She also bought a Pink Ladies jacket in the auction. A portion of the auction's proceeds will go towards the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Australia.
The dark blue gown Princess Diana wore while dancing with John Travolta at the White House in 1995 sold for $347,000, according to CNN.

When it comes to royal style, Princess Diana's wardrobe has been praised and more talked-about than any other. Therefore, when her iconic "Travolta dress" went on auction in December 2019, it was no surprise that it fetched a hefty sum.
Designed by Victor Edelstein, the dark blue, off-the-shoulder velvet gown was worn by Princess Diana during her visit to the White House in 1985. The dress was purchased by The Historical Royal Palaces for $347,000, which indicates that the gown is likely to be part of a future exhibition.
HRP purchased the gown outside of the auction after it failed to sell the first day, a spokesman told CNN.
The tennis racket Serena Williams smashed during her 2018 US Open final defeat to Naomi Osaka sold at auction for $20,910.
Williams destroyed the racket following an argument with the umpire.
The Wilson Blade, which the athlete broke during an argument with the umpire, went up for sale on Goldin Auctions from an anonymous seller, and it was expected to fetch "$25,000 or $50,000," according to Ken Goldin, the founder of the firm.
It ultimately fell just short of the estimation, and an unnamed buyer snagged it with a final bid of $20,910 on December 7, 2019.
Marilyn Monroe's "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" dress, which was covered in 2,500 rhinestones, sold for $1,267,500 at a Christie's auction in 1999.

As we break for lunch, here's Bryan Ferry in a classic croon from Stranded: "Just Like You," as performed live in 2007.


Arriving at St Giles-in-the-Field on Thursday night, one would be forgiven for thinking there was a one-man musical production of Zorro featuring a young Wesley Snipes. However, within seconds of Chicago-native Willis Earl Beal opening his mouth, the whole audience packed into the church (one pilgrim had even made their way into the pulpit) realised they were witnessing something special.
Taking his place in front of the altar with signature mask and fingerless leather gloves on, Willis boomed out the first few notes with such power the audience was instantly glued to his every sound and move. Built like a light middleweight, he cut a memorable figure writhing on the floor, looming over the avid fans seated at the front as the lights turned celestial blue – whatever noise or move he made, his raw talent and unbridled energy poured out over the moody backing tracks played out by his band, both snarling at and caressing each listener. The emotions in his words sometimes conflicted with the tone gushing from his voice, yet it did not feel detrimental to the performance. Rather it offered an insight into the frenetic workings of his mind that affirmed what I'd heard previously – not least during the closing monologue. What was borderline sociopathic rant ended up an object lesson on Willis' exacting and hugely thought-provoking take on the world.
This was blues music for the twenty-first century. The influence of Delta greats displayed in an almost apocalyptic setting supplied by minimal lighting and the venue's natural acoustics – think Howlin' Wolf beasting it on the sinking Titanic – but injected with his signature boundary-threatening rawness. I want to hear a truer rendering of his live voice in a more traditional musical setting, but one thing's for sure, that Willis Earl Beal has definitely got the goods … and some.

Beyond all expectations
Taisha Sturdivant (left) on the campus of Brandeis University, where she is a junior.
By Kevin Cullen
Email|
Thousands upon thousands of college kids returned to classes around here this week. None of them has a story like Taisha Sturdivant's.
She never knew her dad. When she was 6, her mother married a preacher's son. The preacher's son gave her mother many things, including HIV.
Taisha Sturdivant grew up around Four Corners, in Dorchester, on a dead end called Harvard Park that looked nothing like a park and was home to no one who went to Harvard. The gangsters sold their drugs and fired their guns and Taisha winced at the pop-pop-pop and kept her head down.
Her brother started running with a gang, and then one day he wasn't running anymore: He was standing, in a courtroom, in front of a judge, because he sold drugs.
"First time I was in a courtroom, I was 12. It was to show support for my brother,'' she said. "He's still incarcerated.''
The next time she was in a courtroom, she was 15. She had received one of the fellowships named after the late federal judge David Nelson. The chief federal judge, Mark Wolf, was going around the courtroom at orientation, asking all the city kids how many of their friends had been murdered, and when he got to Taisha Sturdivant, she said, "Eighteen.''
She keeps the list in her head. She remembers their names, their faces, where they fell.
She was 15 years old and her mother had just died of AIDS. She was on her own and treading water in the open ocean that was Four Corners.
"I could have gone either way when I was 15,'' she said. "I had a lot of behavioral problems in school. I used to get in fights.''
She was at English High and didn't want to leave her friends. She didn't want to go to college; she didn't think she could get into college. But her mother wanted her to go to an alternative high school, Another Course to College, and when her mother died, she knew she had to go.
"It's something I did for her,'' she said.
A teacher, Jerry Howland, took a shine to her and started acting as if the only question was where Taisha Sturdivant would go to college.
She kept returning to the federal courthouse every summer, and the judges put her to work. She worked for Wolf and Nancy Gertner and Patti Sarris. And she worked for Reggie Lindsay, who knew what it was like to grow up poor and black and being expected to know your place.
By the time Taisha Sturdivant enrolled at Brandeis, many of the kids she grew up with were dead, in prison, or, like her sister, single parents living in the projects.
"No one I grew up with went to college,'' she said. "No one.''
She doesn't think she's anything special.
"I got lucky,'' she said, sitting in Shapiro Campus Center, where she works as a building manager when she isn't studying.
"I got some opportunities that others didn't. I met people who took an interest in me, who told me I could do anything despite everything in my background.
"I don't want to let these people down. I feel this pressure to succeed, for them as much as for me. It's not a negative pressure. It's more a motivator.
"I'm one mistake away from ending up like everybody I grew up with. That's enough motivation for me.''
She is 20 years old, going on 40. She's a junior at Brandeis and she's been on the dean's list every semester. She writes poetry and knows a lot about the world. She spent last summer on the Mexican border, working with immigrants. She's going to Ghana in January, for six months, to put into practice some of her ideas on education.
She's going to finish up at Brandeis next year, go to law school, and then Taisha Sturdivant is going to change the world.

Don't you just hate flyers?
Yesterday I received eight through the letterbox, trying to sell me everything from fast food to a new bathroom. They all hit the recycling bin without as much as a second thought.
Everywhere I go billboards display the latest cars or high-tech gadgets that will 'make my life better, easier and enhance my sense of wellbeing.' Every time I open a magazine, turn on the T.V or the radio, or check the news on my phone someone, somewhere is trying to sell me something.
The 'ad men' do a really good job when it comes to tempting me to buy into their vision of how my life should be and the things I 'need' in order to feel better about myself and my quality of life.
My e-mail inbox was pretty much the same. Every morning, companies trying to sell me stuff bombarded me with images of the latest fashion trends, must have cosmetic items and the newest and best gizmo. Until recently, that is.
A few days ago, I went through my inbox and unsubscribed from all those newsletters and advertising campaigns, which I somehow managed to get myself signed up to. Opening my e-mail is now a much more pleasant experience. I receive less emails, but the ones I do get add some value to my life.
I cannot stop the T.V campaigns or the billboard campaigns or magazines and the like displaying adds from their sponsors and companies who pay to have their products displayed. But what I can do, is be more mindful about the things I actually need.
Since my de-clutter, I have noticed that less I have the more productive I am, the more creative I am and the more time I have to do the things that really matter to me. I do not need some ad campaign to tell me what will make my life better, I already know.
I enjoy a simplistic life. A life where I can create and be attuned to the cares of other people, a life where I can slow down and take in the beauty of what is around me, a life where I have room to breathe in my own home. And what's more, I am perfectly capable of deciding what I want to have in my life, and my home, and what I do not. I do not need all that stuff that all the ad men tell me I do.
Message to the 'ad men,' I am not so easily fooled anymore.
I really should unsubscribe to all the stuff I get. I did clear my browser history and cache yesterday, gets rid of all the stored cookies, good to do once in awhile.
Thank you, Christine. Unsubscribing from all that stuff has made life more pleasurable.

Bridging the Gap Between Nature and Historic Structures in Yosemite National Park
More: National Treasures
By: Diane Cole
Follow the Merced River as it meanders through Yosemite Valley and you'll see, towering above, a panorama of imposing granite cliffs and domes; steep, rushing waterfalls; and monumental rock spires. As your gaze returns to eye-level, you'll see a number of manmade marvels, including eight historic bridges that span the river. With elegant stone arches designed to blend into the natural setting, these bridges, which in 1977 were added to the National Register of Historic Places, exemplify the National Park Service (NPS) Rustic Style of architecture.
But the future of three of these beloved structures—the Stoneman, Ahwahnee, and Sugar Pine bridges, completed between 1929 and 1932—is endangered if NPS proposals to remove them go forward.
In 1987, Congress designated the Merced a "Wild and Scenic River," which required the Park Service to develop a plan to protect the 81 miles of river that run through Yosemite National Park. A decade later, a devastating flood caused widespread damage in Yosemite Valley. Proposals for quick reconstruction spurred debate over the proper balance between development and preservation in "the incomparable valley."
A decade of litigation and aborted planning efforts ensued, but in 2009, NPS settled with environmental groups and agreed to finalize a new Comprehensive Management Plan for the Merced Wild and Scenic River, due to be completed by July 31, 2013.
As part of its planning process, in spring 2012, NPS presented five draft proposals, four of which would remove one or more of the historic bridges. In response, the National Trust for Historic Preservation placed the Bridges of Yosemite Valley on its 2012 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, and named them as a National Treasure.
Because the Wild and Scenic River Act is designed to protect a wide range of cultural and natural characteristics, it is not inherently biased against historic places. It requires federal land managers to identify what the Act calls "outstandingly remarkable values," those things that make a river significant, and to develop a plan to protect them. History and culture are values identified as eligible for consideration.
Although NPS Spokesman Scott Gediman notes that "there is historical value to all three bridges," the Park Service did not include any of the historic structures in Yosemite Valley on its initial list of remarkable values. In response to concerns raised by the National Trust and other stakeholders, the NPS recently corrected the omission, recognizing "river-related or river-dependent, rare, unique, or exemplary buildings and structures."
"We commend the National Park Service for acknowledging that Yosemite Valley's historic structures and buildings contribute to the significance of the Merced River," says Anthony Veerkamp, field director of the San Francisco Field Office of the National Trust, "but historic resources are by no means out of the woods." The current Merced River Plan draft still recommends removing at least Sugar Pine Bridge because of its impact on river flow.
Ultimately, Gediman says the key question for the NPS is: "Are the bridges consistent with the balance of visitor access and river preservation we're trying to achieve?"

Microsoft Launches SQL Azure Testing Service
Microsoft is offering a free trial app of a new test service designed to help SQL Azure users monitor the security of their databases housed in Microsoft's cloud.
The app, code-named "SQL Azure Security Services," is available through the SQL Azure Labs portal here. A SQL Azure account is required to test it, but Microsoft also offers a no-cost trial of Windows Azure (including SQL Azure) for 90 days. It's not clear when the service became available publicly.
SQL Azure Security Services runs as a Web application and lets users check for vulnerabilities in their databases. The service can test one database or all in an account. A Microsoft blog post describes the service as "an early prototype for solving the problem of securing your data in the cloud: no matter where it is, whatever the capacity and scale."
SQL Azure Labs releases are not fully tested by Microsoft and are more at the "cutting edge" level, according to Microsoft's description.
Microsoft plans to expand this service if it gets enough feedback on its use, according to a TechNet wiki post by Ramkumar Krishnan, who says he works at Microsoft. Krishnan outlined steps on how to use the service.
The scan will detect malware, security vulnerabilities and other potential issues in SQL Azure databases right now, but other capabilities may be added later.
"Depending on your enthusiasm for such a service and your valuable feedback, more advanced features like sensitive data discovery, data masking, configuration drift, SQL injection detection, and other functionality layered on core SQL Azure platform will be added to the service," Krishnan stated. "So your feedback is absolutely important!"
The service uses a two-tab directory, with one side listing any "security issues," while the other side catalogs potential "attack surface" problems. When a database has been attacked, the type of attack is identified, such as "SQL injection." The service may also question potential design problems, such as overly restricted access rights.
The service may offer a "recommended mitigation" from Microsoft if a problem is detected. The mitigation appears in text form as advice.

Avondale is a community in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. With a population of about 100, is located off the Trans-Canada Highway (N.B. Route 2) about 15 km from Hartland, famous for its very long covered bridge. Avondale is about an hour's drive west from Fredericton N.B. and 30 minutes from the start of Interstate 95 in Houlton, Maine.

History

Notable people

Samuel Gilbert Barter (1871-1963) was a lifelong resident of Avondale (initially called Barter Settlement) and, in 1919, wrote about its progress from the 1840s to the early part of the 20th century. A condensed version of this history, blogged as A turn-of-the-last-century boomtown, links to the original work which includes numerous other records and photographs.

The most successful medical offices create a balance and a connection between tech and customer service, never taking their eyes off of the patient. Here are some of the most effective ways that you can emulate these cutting edge practices.
Do your quality improvement efforts coincide with your primary endpoints?
Identifying your patient service sticking points is essential to knowing the proper tech to invest in. There is more information than ever concerning how patients interpret health care services in general and how they interpret your services specifically. Do some preliminary research through social media before you determine that you absolutely need the lastest gadgetry. It may not apply to you at all.
What aspects of your technology are bringing in new patients, keeping legacy accounts active, and providing coth of those segments proper service? There is a difference between customer acquisition and customer service, and you must hold the line if these two disciplines overlap. Basically, patients may be attracted to your office by a piece of equipment that actually has nothing to do with them. As tempting as it may be to play up the association, it is your duty to properly explain why that particular technology does not apply.
In the same way, take particular note of your office tech that provides the outreach and the service that your patients need. These items can be marketed with veracity. Your patients will also have the added security of knowing that you are marketing only relevant services to them.
Do not feel as though technology is a competition!
Obviously comparing the tech in your office to the tech in an unrelated specialty is less than optimal. However, you may feel the temptation to compare your office tech to a bigger office within your discipline. This can be dangerous, and you should proceed with caution.
You may have competitors that you feel are drawing patients away from your practice with a particular piece of gear. Before you invest in the same, make sure that your assessment is actually proper. Your "competitor" may service a completely different audience from you. Simply being on different sides of town may completely change the demographics of the people who prefer your medical services.
Technology is not a competition. Invest in new pieces only if you note a real deficiency in productivity as compared to your contemporaries.
Sometimes you face the choice to invest in a piece of technology that does not immediately improve the productivity of a procedure. However, the updated piece may be more connected to cloud systems or databases that allow for a better analysis of patient conditions. In general, successful practices of all sizes are becoming more connected to centralized databases, and you should take a good look at this trend if you have not already.
Consider investing in new technology if that technology gives you access to a more precise pool of precedent cases or a more efficient methodology of record storage. You may find tech that increases regulatory compliance, and this may be its only advantage. However, this may be just as relevant to your patient services as your patient facing productivity.
The path forward for improving health care quality is undeniably aligned with the future of medical technology. Make sure that your office considers only the aspects of that technology that are most relevant to your patient care. Doing so will not only save you money, but will also allow you to focus that money more precisely on the needs of your specialty.

"Regression" – (Movie Review)
May 11, 2016 May 11, 2016 moviesforlife09Leave a comment
Rating: ***1/2 out of *****.
Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson are stunning in the meticulously paced psychological thriller from 2015, Regression. Concerning a detective, Bruce Kenner (Hawke), whose investigation into the rape of a young lady, Angela Gray (Watson), begins to unravel proof of a cult of satanists, the R- rated feature is moody, subtle and effectively downplayed. Writer and director Alejandro Amenabar offers a cerebral, character-oriented screenplay. It is one that is consistently engaging. Likewise, it is adorned in credible characterization and dialogue. This is until the flat, underwhelming finale. From the last act forward, much of the anticipation of greatness beautifully built-up beforehand is quickly deflated.
Amenabar, whose last horror venture was 2001's The Others, offers taut, incredible direction. It is full of mesmerizing and striking imagery. Moreover, Amenabar builds suspense slowly and with an organic realism. This gives the one hundred and six minute effort a sophisticated, old-fashioned sensibility.
Such an attribute is so strong that even the familiarity of the sparsely utilized terror clichés assembled throughout feel spine-tingly intense and new. The dream-like sequences and its faux variants, another commonplace trope in fear cinema, are handled disturbingly well. These elements, as well as much of the tone of Amenabar's latest, call to mind Roman Polanski's 1968 masterpiece, Rosemary's Baby. Such is most obvious in their proficient design.
The piece, released through The Weinstein Company, is further complimented by gorgeously gothic atmosphere by Daniel Aranyo. Carolina Martinez Urbina's editing, Elinor Rose Galbraith's art direction and Roque Banos' music are all equally impressive. The special and visual effects are wisely minimalistic, as is the endeavor as a whole. To its credit, these elements are also terrifically done. Moreover, the sound and make-up department, as well as Sonia Grande's costume design and Friday Myer's set decoration, are spectacular.
With The Spierig Brothers' Daybreak from 2009, Scott Derickson's Sinister from 2012 and James DeMonaco's The Purge from 2013, Hawke is fashioning himself as a trustworthy name for horror. The same can be said for Amenabar and high-quality dread laced genre offerings. Though the concluding 'twist' is as obvious here as it was in The Others, and the he turns to the well of the tried and true a bit too often, his talent outshines these minor shortcomings. The result is a top-notch exertion that is certainly worth a watch. This is true for both the seasoned terror vet as well as those of us who enjoy well-made, haunting cinema of any genre. Especially one, such as this, which is refreshingly mature in both attitude and construction.

Government Benefits and the Rule of Law: Toward a Standards-Based Theory of Due Process
Full-text available at SSRN. See link in this record. (19.11Kb)
Levy, Richard E.
Shapiro, Sidney A.
http://ssrn.com/abstract=591283
Under the Supreme Court's current due process jurisprudence, due process applies only when government actors deprive a person of a protected interest in life, liberty, or property, and government benefits are property only when has an entitlement to the benefit. Thus, Congress or a state legislature can preclude the application of the Due Process Clause simply by declining to create an entitlement to a government benefit. Given the centrality of rule of law principles to the constitutional order, it is disquieting that such a basic rule of law safeguard as due process is dependent upon political discretion, just because the interest at issue is a governmentally created one. Early due process decisions suggest an alternative approach to due process that has the potential to solve the seemingly intractable dilemma of how to extend due process to government benefit decisions without implicating a substantive constitutional right to them. This approach, which we call the standards-based approach, encompasses two fundamental principles. First, the Constitution requires due process whenever the allocation of government benefits is constrained by legal standards whether or not there is a legal entitlement to the benefit, although the scope of procedural requirements will vary with the nature of the decision and the interest involved. Second, the legislature may decide whether or not to provide government benefits, but once it chooses to provide benefits, it is constitutionally compelled by the rule of law to provide statutory standards for the allocation of those benefits, except in limited circumstances controlled by the political question doctrine. The standards-based approach provides solid constitutional foundations for the rule of law. Except in narrow areas where the Constitution permits standardless political discretion, governmental regularity requires legal standards that guide and control the execution of the law. Once legal standards are in place, it is the duty of all government officials to comply with them, regardless of the character of the right at issue. Due process is a crucial constitutional mechanism for ensuring compliance with legal standards and therefore should apply whenever there are legal standards.

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and drop [your word] toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel;
and tell the land of Israel, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, and will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath; it shall not return any more.
Sigh therefore, you son of man; with the breaking of your loins and with bitterness shall you sigh before their eyes.
It shall be, when they tell you, Why do you sigh? that you shall say, Because of the news, for it comes; and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.
Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says Yahweh: Say, A sword, a sword, it is sharpened, and also furbished;
it is sharpened that it may make a slaughter; it is furbished that it may be as lightning: shall we then make mirth? the rod of my son, it condemns every tree.
It is given to be furbished, that it may be handled: the sword, it is sharpened, yes, it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the killer.
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people; strike therefore on your thigh.
For there is a trial; and what if even the rod that condemns shall be no more? says the Lord Yahweh.
You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the deadly wounded: it is the sword of the great one who is deadly wounded, which enters into their chambers.
I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied: ah! it is made as lightning, it is pointed for slaughter.
Gather you together, go to the right, set yourself in array, go to the left, wherever your face is set.
I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
The word of Yahweh came to me again, saying,
Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; they both shall come forth out of one land: and mark out a place, mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he shook the arrows back and forth, he consulted the teraphim, he looked in the liver.
In his right hand was the divination [for] Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, to build forts.
It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because you have come to memory, you shall be taken with the hand.
You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day is come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
thus says the Lord Yahweh: Remove the mitre, and take off the crown; this [shall be] no more the same; exalt that which is low, and abase that which is high.
I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: this also shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
You, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say you, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, will I judge you.
I will pour out my indignation on you; I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
You shall be for fuel to the fire; your blood shall be in the midst of the land; you shall be no more remembered: for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.


The vibration of 22 is the practical implementation of 11's divine inspiration energy. Last week we left you with an exercise to support you in creating clarity around all you want for yourself and for your life.
The next stage of the journey is creating and building daily habits congruent with the vision you now hold. One of the simplest things to shift to align with your vision is language patterns. The way you speak and communicate throughout your day is key to bringing in your dream life.
Our feelings create our thoughts, our thoughts become our words and our words create our world. What we speak into creation and what we think about we bring about.
At Numerologist.com we believe in supporting people to become the ultimate on purpose manifestors and help people live in pure happiness and bliss. In our experience the most common manifestation desires (abundance, love, peace, happiness) can only be achieved when resonating in the compatible frequency. Meaning we must be happy, grateful, loving and positive in our mindset, language patterns and behaviour.
One cannot have a positive mindset with negative thought patterns and language patterns. Most people think they are positive then start complaining, worrying, or come up with all the reasons why something wont work. This type of energy zaps creativity and inspiration, two of the key ingredients required to bringing forth your manifestation.
The following 3 steps are essential in creating a foundation of success. First step start by listening to yourself when you speak and take note of the words you use to describe your experience (are they mainly positive or negative). While doing this it's important to release self judgement and embrace being gentle and compassionate with yourself.
The second step is observing the voice in your mind (thoughts) and the inner dialogue you keep with yourself all day long. Expand your awareness to the areas you are super positive and which areas could use improvement.
The third step is practicing switching your thoughts to ones of positivity, possibility and optimism no matter the situation. Re-train your mind to see the good in everything and everyone. This begins by taking inventory and being completely vulnerable and honest with yourself. During this process of getting to know yourself more intimately, you will naturally begin eliminating inner and outer negative language one word at a time.
Some people have expressed the process of re-training patterns of speech to be somewhat challenging. To be completely honest, yes it can be. Good news it can also be simple and easy. It's all in your perspective and your committment.
The only reason it may initially occur as challenging is because for our entire lives, we as a collective community have been conditioned and taught through observation how to speak in a certain way. The majority of us have grown up in an experience where there is a dominant focus on what is not working and this becomes the topic of our conversations with each other and with ourselves. All you have to do is turn on the news for 5 mins and you 'll see what we are talking about. Have you ever noticed when most groups of people get together they bond and build rapport over all the things that aren't working and complain about their lives/jobs/relationships? This is a sign our world isn't working the way it is right now, and within it also holds a very promising future.
The beauty in all of this is when we see people bonding via negative language and sharing focused attentions it illustrates the human need for connection. This human need can be achieved one of two ways, either through negative co-creation or positive co-creation.
Currently this connection is dominantly achieved through unconscious negative patterns and people will do whatever they need to do to feel connected. Negative co-creating feeds the need to feel accepted and part of a community (not being alone in your experience). What there is to understand is we can fulfill these same needs and desires in a far more constructive manor if we make a personal commitment to focusing our individual energy on what is working and what we want to see happen in our lives and in the world.
1. The Law of Attraction.
What we focus on we get more of. There for if we begin with ourselves and inspire people to switch from focusing on what's not working to what is working we'll get more of what's working. This can mean big global shifts in healing, harmony and love energy exchanges.
2. The Power of the Collective Consciousness.
2. Bring your awareness to re-framing negative situations and conversations when you are in a group dynamic. People will flow with it as long as they have a wonderful leader to guide them, and that leader is YOU!

Mike Kohm PT has taken level 1 and level 2 in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment System from the originators, Gray Cook PT the author of "Movement" (click here) and Kyle Keisel PT,PhD (click here).
The SFMA screen can be used to assess and athlete's or patient's movement patterns, imbalances and asymmetries with a 7 basic movement assessment. The assessment quickly brings to the surface a persons movement and core issues.
Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, Shin Splints are all common running injuries. A common movement pattern that is seen in the screen is an inability to perform a tandem half kneel. Essentially in a half kneeling position with the front heel and the back knee aligned, a person with poor stability will have difficulty stabilizing this position.
The assessment shows us that the core and the hips are not stable or strong enough to hold the position. This predisposes the lower leg to have to overwork to stabilize the body and hence the lower leg issues begin to occur.

David Beckham and Harper Beckham share sweet moment at hockey game
David Beckham's daughter, Harper Beckham, is most definitely daddy's little girl.
The adorable two-year-old spent the day with her family – mom Victoria Beckham and her three older brothers, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz – but it was her doting dad David who showered her with attention.
The former football captain, 38, hugged his daughter close to his chest and swung her up and down as they watched a hockey game in Los Angeles.
The match between the Anahiem Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings clearly went over Harper's head, as she was more concerned with cuddling up to her loving dad.

Dressed in jeans, a white cardigan and brown leather boots, Harper looked as stylish as ever, taking after her fashion designer mum Victoria. The little cutie had her fair hair scooped up into a top-knot, which she flicked from side to side as she bent her head backwards.
Sitting alongside the sweet father-daughter duo was Victoria and her three boys. The former Spice Girl gave all her attention to her youngest son, nine-year-old Cruz, and wrapped her arms around him.

Brooklyn, 15, and Romeo, 11, fixed their eyes on the game as they cheered on their team and later clapped from the stands.
The Beckham clan looked to be enjoying some down time in Los Angeles – the city where Harper was born and the place they once called home for six years. The family moved stateside in 2007 when David was chosen to play for LA Galaxy.
The Beckhams moved back to their native England last year and reportedly paid £31.5million for their West London home. The palatial residence comprises eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a pool, cinema, library, panic room and 100ft Oriental garden.
Earlier this year David and Victoria commissioned renowned artist Damien Hirst to create a piece for little Harper. The artwork, which is aptly called Daddy's Girl, is of a huge pink heart adorned with butterflies and is said to hang in the toddler's bedroom.

There are many ways in which it is possible to earn money in your spare time whilst working from home. This is great news for those people who already have a day job (whether it be full or part time) and are perhaps juggling family and childcare commitments as well.
Most of these methods of earning money from home are not going to guarantee significant sums, but a little extra here and there can often go further than you think.
Obviously, it will really help if these money-making opportunities are of interest to you. It is even more beneficial if you are able to use skills you already have and to build upon them further, as you could potentially be enhancing your future career prospects at the same time.
One idea for those people who are good with words, have reasonably proficient computer skills or an area of particular expertise is to write informative articles for money. If this sounds like something that might be of interest to you then hopefully the following information will help you.
Who will these articles be for?
The answer to this question could quite literally be, "Anyone." The internet is such a boundless source of information for people on every subject under the sun and just because you feel that a certain topic might not be interesting or noteworthy doesn't mean that someone, somewhere, isn't absolutely dying to find out more about it.
Therefore, many companies will now commission freelance writers to create content for their websites and this is where you would come in. Who you are writing for will depend greatly on the customer base of each website. You might find that you can write about your in-depth knowledge of computer games for a few gaming websites or you might find that you prefer writing on a wide range of different subjects (according to each company's brief) after doing a bit of independent research.
What skills are necessary to write informative articles for money?
The most important skill is to be able to write to a high standard in written English. You should be comfortable with spelling, grammar and syntax so that your articles are interesting and engaging for the reader. The companies you work for may well give you a word limit, so bear this in mind at all times and stick as closely to it as possible.
You will need to have access to a computer with a word processing program (Microsoft Word is the most commonly used) and the internet and be able to use both effectively. It will be helpful to you if you can read through other articles quickly and draw out the key points, as you may well have to undertake some research from time to time in order to understand the topics about which you are writing.
You should take care to fully understand the brief set by the client and to ensure that you include any necessary key words as per their requests. This will be important if the client is hoping to make money from schemes such as Google's 'Adsense', whereby websites can make extra money through having relevant adverts placed alongside or within your articles once they are published online.
You will also need to have good proofreading and editing skills, so that you can read back over your own work and refine it as appropriate. If you make the effort to do this you will be saving the client valuable time and are therefore much more likely to receive further assignments.
A quick internet search will throw up many websites offering online copywriting jobs, but make sure you only register with companies that you trust. Large recruitment companies such as www.reed.co.uk might be a good place to start, although obviously they will take a commission for placing you with any employer.
Websites catering for freelance writers are also a good bet and these sites can often offer advice about other aspects of working from home such as registering with HMRC and so on. A good example of such a website might be www.freelancer.co.uk.
It is also worth regularly checking the jobs sections of newspapers such as The Guardian, as well as trade press and magazines for industries of which you have a particular knowledge. The further you spread your net, the more likely you are to be offered assignments and you might even find yourself in the wonderful position of being able to pick and choose which jobs you take on!

Android users prefer using the lock screen feature to secure the data stored in their device. But sometimes, the security feature can cause more trouble. And the biggest dilemma would be the situation when you forget the passcode or pattern to unlock your device. But just because you forgot the pattern or you are locked out of your device somehow, that doesn't mean that you can get access to it. Like every other device, Android phones also have a built-in module to help the mobile phone owners to overcome any problem. And one of those features is the Emergency call system.
So, in this article, you will learn how to bypass the android lock screen using emergency call system without going through much trouble. And in case, you fail to access your device then we also have a solution in that situation too.
If you search online, you'll see numerous articles promising on show you how to bypass the android lock screen using emergency call. This is try to crash the lock screen UI to bypass the password. However, if your Android phone runs Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) or above, you have to use the other methods to unlock Android password.
Here is the step by step guide that would help you unlock Android 5.0-5.1.1 using emergency call. Even though it is more like a trick to unlock the device, you need to be careful while you are implementing this security loophole.
Step 1 Turn on the lock screen of your phone and open the Emergency call screen by tapping on the Emergency option.
Step 2 As the screen opens up, you need to type a string of characters in the space. Take an example of Asterisks, press the button 10 times and then tap on the characters to select them. Once you've selected the text, press the Copy button.
Step 3 After you've copied the string, paste it in the same field and this will result in doubling the characters. Repeat step 3 and 4 over and over again until you can't continue. Normally, the copy-paste option will disappear after you've repeated it 11 times or so.
Step 4 When you can no longer paste the string, get back to the lock screen and swipe left to open the camera. And when the camera opens up, you need to pull down the notification panel.
Step 5 Click on the Settings Icon and you will be prompted to input a password. Now, long-press in the given space and paste the string of characters as a password. Again continue pasting the strings as many times as possible. But while you are pasting the string, you need to be sure that the cursor is at the end of the string.
Step 6 Continuing the pasting will ultimately crash the User Interface and the soft buttons on the screen will disappear. And the lock screen will be extended with a camera screen instead.
Step 7 Now, the camera will also lag behind as it focuses on the new objects. All you need to do is to wait patiently until the camera crashes too.
The camera crash time will vary for every Android device but eventually, the home screen will appear and then you will be able to unlock your device. If you carry out the steps carefully, then you will be able to unlock your device successfully.
The process is very time consuming and complicated.
One simple mistake and you have to start the entire process from the first step.
The method is not available for the latest device and OS above Lollipop version.
Due to the inefficiency of the method, the users have to opt out for other methods. Luckily, we have access to another tool that provides assurance that your device will be unlocked.
If you are locked out of your device and all your attempts to unlock it are failing abruptly, then you should try out 4uKey - Android Screen Unlocker . Instead of learning how to bypass android lock screen using emergency call, you should opt out for this third-party tool as it is easy to use and have better chances to unlock your phone. This software is specially designed to help the users to remove the Android password, PIN, pattern, and fingerprint lock.
Step 1 Connect your device and launch the software. As you run the software, it will install a driver for the device automatically.
Step 2 Once the device is successfully connected, you will be prompted to the removal screen. Tap on the Remove button and software will prepare the data environment for the removal.
Step 3 Finally you will be prompted that the lock screen will erase the data stored on your device. To carry on with the removal process, click on the Ok button and the password will be removed from the device.
Just a three-step simple process and your device will become accessible again. Therefore, it is pretty clear that using Tenorshare 4uKey is way better than learning how to bypass the android lock screen using emergency call.
It is obvious that using the Emergency call hack could lead to other problems too. Therefore, you must keep in mind that even if it is possible to know how to bypass android lock screen using an emergency call, it will be safe if you choose Tenorshare 4uKey - Bypass Android Lock Screen for the password removal.

The 'Neta' App Lets Voters Rate Local Politicians, Report Problems
IANS -
Last Updated: August 24, 2018 11:52 pm
"Neta – Leaders' Report Card", an app that seeks to connect voters with political leaders, was downloaded over 1 lakh times on Google Play Store within hours of launch on Thursday.
The app, which enables voters to rate their MLAs and MPs with an aim to bring transparency and accountability among political leaders, was formally launched on Friday by former President Pranab Mukherjee.
Developed by Flipped Pvt Ltd, the stated mission of the app is to increase transparency, strengthen participatory governance and ensure accountability of leaders. Speaking on the occasion, Mukherjee said the online platform would strengthen Indian democracy's feedback mechanism.
"The app will provide people's feedback to politicians, framers of public policy, implementers and even corporate sector. In democracy, feedback has important role since it gives an opportunity of empirical evidence for gauging public mood and take course correction. Launching of this app is a welcome step in strengthening our democracy's feedback mechanism," he said.
The app has been developed by 27-year-old Pratham Mittal, whose family runs Jalandhar-based Lovely Professional University (LPU). Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Union Minister of State of Social Justice and Empowerment Vijay Sampla, former Union Ministers Shivraj Patil, Murli Manohar Joshi and Ashwani Kumar, and former Chief Election Commissioners S.Y. Quraishi and Nasim Zaidi were among those present at the launch ceremony held at Mukherjee's official residence in the national capital.
Mukherjee further said the biggest challenge in a large democracy like India was ineligibility of citizens to actively participate in the policy-making process. "This app is an example how new two-way channel can be used effectively," he said, adding: "We must ensure our aspiration does not go unheeded. A good democracy cannot work without informed voters, good leaders and complete transparency and accountability."
Kejriwal said the newly-launched app could be an alternative to opinion polls carried out by news channels. "The opinion polls by news channels appear more of entertainment (value)… People think the news channels must have been bribed (to show biased opinion polls). It has come to fore in recent sting operations," he said.
"Now people will say do not watch news channels but Neta app." The app would not help just voters but also political parties in deciding the candidates during an election, he added. Over 1.5 crore verified voters have already rated or reviewed their local leaders across all 543 parliamentary constituencies and 4,120 assembly constituencies in the country on the app, within eight months, the developers said.
Mittal said that app uses multiple mediums IVR calls, SMS, Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and Aadhaar numbers to ensure genuine voters. After downloading the app, one needs to put the pin number of the area that concerns a particular user and it shows a list of politicians from different parties who contested the last Lok Sabha elections.
One can vote for a particular politician or skip this step to go ahead and use other features of the app. At present, the app features polls on various "local" and "national" issues that allow users to participate in a discussion and also state whether they are happy with the performance of a particular Chief Minister or not. The users of the app can also see which politician is ahead of others in terms of votes.

Anniversary greetings from the Revolutionary Organization of Labor, USA
22 December 2008 /0 Comments/in CPP 40th Messages /by Roselle Valerio
On the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the CPP we salute you and your current leadership as well as your outstanding founding leader, Jose Maria Sison!
We salute your leadership of the Philippine revolutionary movement, today on the frontlines of the struggle against imperialism, headed by U.S. imperialism. We salute your leadership of the NDF, NPA and other revolutionary organizations which are working and advancing the struggle for national liberation and socialism. We salute your leadership of the many successes of the revolutionary movement won with great courage and sacrifice, including the gaining of substantial territory where the masses are already building new revolutionary life under the leadership of the party. We salute the struggle against opportunism waged by the CPP which has enabled the Philippine revolutionary movement to stay the Marxist-Leninist course and gain new strength despite the many obstacles thrown in its path by modern revisionism and right and left opportunism as well as the pressures of imperialism. We salute your proletarian internationalism.
We remain a small proletarian revolutionary organization functioning in the USA, still the chief oppressor nation in the world. From, this vantage point, we recognize that the Philippine revolution, led by the CPP, is today making a vital and significant contribution to the worldwide struggle against imperialism, led by U.S. imperialism, the criminal invader and occupier of Afghanistan and Iraq and the worlds #1 terrorist. The ultimate victory of the Philippine national democratic revolution and then socialist revolution will be a great victory for all proletarians and oppressed peoples who today suffer under the iron heel of U.S.-led imperialism.
In this era of Leninism, the era of imperialism and unfolding proletarian revolution, your struggle is our struggle. Your leadership, revolutionary determination, vision and courage as well as your internationalist support displayed towards our organization has strengthened us for the revolutionary battles of today and tomorrow. In this common struggle we pledge to continue our involvement with the just cause of Philippine national democratic revolution and to intensify our struggle within "the belly of the beast".
On this 40th Anniversary of the founding of the CPP, the advanced and organized detachment of the Philippine proletariat, we extend our hands in proletarian internationalist solidarity to the revolutionary proletariat of the Philippines. We and many others around the world receive great inspiration, encouragement and leadership from the CPP. You are playing a needed role in the global effort to unite the world's proletariat and the world communist movement in the face of the growing acute world capitalist crisis and the growing opportunities for the world proletarian revolution.
Victory to the Philippine National Democratic Revolution Leading to the Socialist Revolution!
Long Live the Communist Party of the Philippines!
Long Live Proletarian Internationalism! Onward to a New Communist International!
Workers of the World and Oppressed Peoples Unite!
With Great Comradely Respect,
Ray O. Light
Revolutionary Organization of Labor, USA

Stop Phubbing
This campaign tells the story of how we gave birth to a word and released it into the world to show how language is constantly evolving. The purpose; to prove that you need to update your dictionary because of this very phenomenon.
To sell a physical dictionary (Macquarie) in a digital world and remind people of its relevance.
People buy a dictionary once. They inscribe their name on the inside and use it as an occasional resource. Online websites with no authority or accountability have replaced most dictionaries.Their interpretation of language is fleeting, at best. So we needed to do two things. One: prove to people that a dictionary is still relevant. Two: demonstrate that a dictionary is something that needs to be updated.
Show how language evolves by giving birth to a word and following it from inception to adaptation. Unlike the dust gathering dictionary you've held onto from childhood, language has moved on. It's alive.
We started the campaign by gathering experts in the language field to explore this notion of language evolution. Together they created a word, and the word was 'Phubbing.'
Once the word was created the strategy was to seed it and document the journey as it 'grew up.' This involved a lengthy period of social media seeding (including a Facebook page, interactive website, twitter feeds and blogs). We also created downloadable assets to be used in cafes, weddings, or store fronts.
The word itself (meaning to snub someone in favour of using your phone) quickly caught on, and became its own viral sensation as news stations throughout the world promoted its use. Unbeknownst to them, they were helping to grow a new word, created with the sole purpose of demonstrating how language can so rapidly change.
Once the word took off an online filmwas created that documented the birth of the word, to its adoption into society, to explain the underlying purpose of the campaign.
The 'Phubbing' campaign attracted the attention of over 300 million people, with global media coverage to date at 600-plus TV, radio, press and online news outlets.

The replacement process begins with the dismantling of the panel attached to the post. Then the new post is extracted from its place and taken away. The new post is set into the same place with complete precision. It is adjusted in straight vertical position. Stability can be achieved with the use of a shorter support post or loose solid material such as crushed stones.
