A Stronger Brand with New Products
Ak-Pa was founded in 1976 to meet the need for a company to handle Akkök Holding's international marketing activities and export operations. Having started its business activities with natural and synthetic fibers, the company today exports its products to more than 70 countries across five continents. Having developed its product range in a short period of time, Ak-Pa began trading third-party products with its restructuring strategies initiated in 2007.
Ak-Pa adds value to the Turkish textile industry with its hard-earned experience over the years. In 2015, the company has strengthened its brand with its fiber and yarn products (polyester, polyamide, viscose, cotton).
2015: A year of solid results
In 2015, Ak-Pa again ranked among Turkey's leading textile exporters with mediation of exports valued at $364 million and $21 million in imports. Reaching the year-end with success, the company carried out the Holding's export operations and achieved the planned goals in the trade of non-Holding products.
Strong steps in non-Holding products
In parallel with the growth in the Turkish textile industry, Ak-Pa expanded its textile market segments while increasing its product diversity in its domestic trade activities. Reflecting its experience gained in the supply of textiles, semi-finished products, and raw materials to non-Holding products, the company continues to develop steadily in this area.
While continuing to provide export operation services to the Holding companies in 2016, Ak-Pa seeks to boost its trade activities in non-Holding products in terms of both quantity and value based on its newly gained experience.
Awards: Indicators of success
The awards Ak-Pa received are an indicator of its 39-year success story in exports. At the 22nd Ordinary General Assembly Meeting of the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TIM) and the 2014 Export Champions Award Ceremony, which took place with the participation of His Excellence President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Ak-Pa Tekstil İhracat ve Pazarlama A.Ş. won the first prize in the textile and raw materials industry thanks to its export volume. It also won the Turkish Export Champion Success Award from the then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the 2012 Export Champions Award Ceremony organized by the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TIM). Furthermore, achieving the highest industrial exports in textile, it received the "Platinum Award" for the fourth time at Textile and Raw Material Exporters Union (ITHIB) awards for companies with the highest exports.

Education since Rose: Remove the rose-colored glasses
By Jim Waters
It's been 30 years since the Kentucky Supreme Court's Rose v. Council for Better Education decision that declared the entire body of the commonwealth's school laws unconstitutional.
The ruling, which resulted in the single largest tax increase in the state's history, went far beyond the initial claims of the lawsuit, which were primarily focused on money.
Instead, the justices, who wanted a radically improved education system, said a total education overhaul was needed that involved more than just financial issues.
Get ready for loud applause from some in the public-education sector wearing rose-colored glasses and yapping about all the progress made since the court's decision.
How much of the hoopla is justified?
You'll get no argument here about the state of -- or spending on -- public education in Kentucky when the court ruled in 1989.
U.S. Census Bureau reports indicate Kentucky's total school revenue from all sources during the 1988-89 term amounted to only $3,206 per pupil, which ranked 46th among the states.
Yet the data indicate the Rose decision may have done much more to solve funding problems than it did to actually bring significant improved academic achievement.
While some -- usually those in the system -- continue to drone on about not having enough money, the latest Census data from 2017 shows Kentucky schools now receive $11,578 per pupil, which moved the state up in the rankings.
Even after adjusting for inflation, per-pupil spending in 1989 would be $6,328 in equivalent 2017 dollars, which means taxpayers have put up $5,250 for each student in additional real dollars, amounting to a whopping post-inflation increase of 83% -- not exactly a shabby performance in one of the nation's historically poorest states.
Yet while spending has dramatically increased, the same cannot be said for academic performance.
Still, the cheerleaders will be out in full force.
Give me an "R-O-S-E."
"What's it spell? Great strides!"
"I can't hear you!! Great strides!"
Of course, good cheerleaders twirl their pom poms without much consideration about the story being told by the scoreboard.
Just a few years after the Rose decision, results from the first state-level testing by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) showed Kentucky's schools had a whole lot of work to do.
For example, only 13% of Kentucky's fourth-grade whites and an abysmal 3% of blacks scored proficient in math in 1992.
Flash forward more than a quarter century and the latest NAEP results indicate math-proficiency rates in 2017 were only 45% for Kentucky's white fourth-graders and just 15% for blacks.
Math-proficiency results for white eighth-graders were even worse, indicating that while there may have been some improvement from 1990 when only 11% of these middle-schoolers were proficient -- so any change would essentially be an improvement -- still by 2017 fewer than one out of three made the grade.
Time almost stood still for blacks.
Only 2% of Kentucky's black eighth-grade students were deemed math-proficient in 1990; by 2017, still fewer than 10% of blacks reached the plateau of proficiency.
Neither have Kentucky's eighth-grade white students done well on NAEP math scores when compared to whites in other states.
White students in 41 other states, including in the notoriously problematic District of Columbia schools, outscored Kentucky's whites on NAEP's 2017 eighth-grade math results in a statistically significant manner.
It's not very encouraging, especially considering overall math-proficiency rates for eighth-grade students nationwide still run only 33%.
This is all Kentucky's schools have accomplished in the decades since Rose and falls way short of the justices' vision of holistic improvement stretching beyond spending and state budgets to classrooms and improved opportunities for students.
Don't expect the Rose-at-30 cheerleaders to provide the full story about Kentucky's educational performance.
I, on the other hand, own no rose-colored glasses.

Google+ Reflection
Google+ has been open now for a while and the up-take of the new social-networking site seems expodential. There are already over 1000 people who have added me to a circle, by far my quickest social-network to 1000 followers.
Where Google+ is right now reminds me a lot of where we were with Twitter in 2007. A lot of people trying to figure out where it fits. I'm finding it facinating that many of the early adopters who joined Twitter "back in the day" like I did are the same people now who are saying "I don't get it." We didn't get Twitter at first either. Twitter's tagline never was "The most powerful Personal Learning Network (PLN) you'll create." or "Breaking News as it happens." but both of those could today very easily be the tagline to the way people use that tool.
It took us a good year to figure out what and how Twitter could benefit us and in the end it had nothing to do with texting updates out to your friends….the real orignial purpose of the site.
Google+ is not yet disrupting my Personal Learning Network but I'm using it more and more and trying to figure out, like many others, where this new social-network will fit among the others.
"I don't need one more network"
Funny thing is many people said that when Twitter came out as well….and yet it's now the foundation of many people's PLN because it was the main tool when they started their PLN.
There's nothing to say that new teachers who are just wrapping their heads around the idea of a PLN won't start with Google+ and ignore Twitter. The problem is we're still figuring out how to use it and where it fits and I think Google is doing the same.
Here are my thoughts on Google+ thus far:
Disrupter
Google+ has already disrupted the social-networking space. Not long after its launch did Facebook revamp the way you can share with specific lists and lists themselves as a response to Google+. If other companies are that fast to respond it usually means you're doing something right.
In my opinion the best part of Google+ is Hangouts. The technology behind the video conferencing system seems to just work and works very well. Every Hangout I've been a part of has been crystal clear quality. I've actualy dropped Skype in favor of hangouts whenever possible.
Make Circles Purposeful
When I started my Google+ account I started setting it up much like Twitter. If you "Circled" me and you were in education I would Circle you back. I have since come to realize that Google+ is a different kind of network and I am now taking my time to create purposeful Circles that I can use when I either want to consume information or if I need to communicate quickly with my Gpeeps Circle (The name of my Google+ Circle of close PLN trusted friends).
Sharing of YouTube videos and everything else Google is simple and straight forward. I like that there is no limit to the length of an update (Facebook has recently changed their own length requirements due to this). Allowing some people to use Google+ like a blog…..an interesting experiment and we'll see how it goes.
I've just started playing with the Google+ Pages as I created one for COETAIL. We'll see if these have any traction like Facebook Pages in the future.
What do you like/don't like about Google+ so far?

NJ AG releases preliminary number of reported bias incidents in 2019, showing 65 percent increase over 2018
Jay Edwards 2 weeks ago
TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced that, according to preliminary data, 944 bias incidents were reported to New Jersey law enforcement in 2019, a 65 percent increase from 2018. The figure—which is likely to change somewhat as law enforcement reconciles end-of-year reports—represents the highest annual total of bias incidents reported since 1996, and the largest year-over-year increase since bias crimes reporting standards were enacted in 1991.
"These preliminary numbers reinforce what we've suspected all year, and what too many New Jersey residents know all too well," said Attorney General Grewal. "More and more people are alerting law enforcement about acts of hatred and intolerance that target victims based solely on what they look like, how they worship, or who they love. Now more than ever, we need to come together as a community to confront this rising tide of hate."
The preliminary figure of 944 bias incidents in 2019 was compiled as part of the New Jersey Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System, which is operated by the New Jersey State Police to track crime rates in the state. By law, every state, county, and local law enforcement agency must submit information to the UCR System on any bias incident reported to them.
The AG's Office and State Police intend to release the final confirmed UCR data on 2019 reported bias incidents later this spring. The final report will include more detailed data on bias incidents, including data broken down by county, type of incident, and age of offender.
Among the 944 incidents included in the preliminary 2019 data was the December 10, 2019 shooting at the JC Kosher Supermarket in Jersey City.
"The terrible attack in Jersey City was by far the most violent bias incident in New Jersey last year, but it was hardly the only one," said Attorney General Grewal. "We are committed to doing everything in our power to solve this problem. In addition to maintaining vigilance against such attacks, we in law enforcement are joining with community members and youth leaders across the state to counter the corrosive messages of hate that motivate such acts, and to replace them with messages of tolerance, understanding, and unity."
"The 65 percent increase in reported bias incidents is a sobering reminder of the alarming rate that hateful acts are being perpetrated against the citizens of our State," said Colonel Patrick Callahan of the New Jersey State Police. "Even though officer training and incident tracking have aided police departments in their response to these incidents, it is imperative that our residents remain vigilant in reporting bias crime without delay."
In mid-February, Attorney General Grewal intends to announce the findings of the Interagency Task Force to Combat Youth Bias. The Task Force, which is chaired by the Division on Civil Rights, was created by Executive Order in August 2019 after the Attorney General issued a report showing a rising number of bias incidents involving juveniles. The Task Force has been conducting listening sessions across the state. It will issue a report with advice and recommendations to Governor Murphy and AG Grewal on strategies and actions to reduce incidents of hate, bias, and intolerance involving students and young adults.
"The data confirms that incidents motivated by bias, prejudice, and hate are rising," said Rachel Wainer Apter, the Director of the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR). "We encourage anyone who has been subjected to bias-based harassment or discrimination at work, in housing, or in a place of public accommodation to file a complaint with DCR, where remedies can include equitable relief and compensatory damages. And we are working closely with the entire Task Force to finalize a list of comprehensive recommendations on how to prevent and combat bias, prejudice, and hate among children and young adults. If anyone was not able to join one of our listening sessions but has ideas or recommendations for how to prevent or combat bias, we encourage them to please submit written comments to the Taskforce."
To submit a written comment to the Task Force, email forums@njcivilrights.gov or go to nj.gov/oag/dcr/comments_YBa.html.
Grewal issued updated Bias Incident Investigation Standards in April 2019 which focus on ensuring proper investigation of all bias incidents. The standards provide for streamlined reporting of all bias incidents by law enforcement agencies using the new Electronic Uniform Crime Reporting (eUCR) system maintained by the New Jersey State Police. This system allows for centralized and more accurate reporting of bias incidents throughout the state. The standards mandate continuing education for police officers regarding interactions with various faiths and cultures, as well as recognizing and investigating bias crimes.
The increase in reported bias incidents in 2019 may be the result, in part, of improved reporting facilitated by the eUCR system, as well as recent incidents and outreach efforts that have raised the awareness of the public and law enforcement regarding the importance of reporting and thoroughly investigating all bias incidents.
For the purposes of UCR reporting, a "bias incident" is a suspected or confirmed violation of New Jersey's bias intimidation statute, N.J.S.A. 2C:16-1(a)(1) or (2), in which a victim is subjected to harassment, assault, terroristic threats, or other specified acts "because of race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity."
Because the data captures only reported bias incidents, it is under-inclusive in that it does not capture incidents that were never reported to local law enforcement. According to a report from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of hate crime victims nationwide from 2011 to 2015 did not report the crimes to the police.

I tell you the truth it is better for you to know God for yourself than through any man's testimony.
Do not draw conclusions based on what you've heard people say about God. I mean, how can you stay far off your Father only for someone to come and tell you about His character?, when you haven't been banned from going into His Presence. Why would you want a reported speech, when you can be the one reporting?
Many times we end up disappointed because of people's testimonies. We hear what they had to do to receive some sort of a blessing and we want to go by the same path, to receive same results. God doesn't use formula to bless people. Do you not know that without faith it is impossible to please God? But how does faith come about? By hearing and hearing by the Word of God not man!
Anytime I hear people's testimonies I'm not in a hurry to replicate their procedures rather, I'm quick to go back and burry myself in scriptures to receive my personal revelation out of it and by that, act!
For you to please God you need to hear from him and act accordingly.
Do you remember Cain and Abel? These brothers both offered sacrifices but one got rejected because it did not please God. You cannot please God until you know what He wants you to do and you act accordingly.
What worked for someone might not work for you even though same principles.
Study and know Him for yourself, allow Him to show you how to please Him and as He shows, replicate!


Originally Published: December 11, 2018 11:01 a.m.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Evangeline Parsons Yazzie's new book "Their Land, Their Love: The Return Home" is the last book in her "Her Land, Her Love" series and is available at Salina Bookshelf in Flagstaff.
Yazzie said she knows this is the book her audience has been waiting for — and people would get upset waiting because they knew the Navajo people did not stay in Fort Sumner and they would ask why Yazzie just left them there at the end of the third book.
Yazzie said the whole series was written from 1991 to about 1999 as she would write occasionally. She would keep adding to the story over those years.
"It became a real long novel and I just thought no one wants to read all of this," Yazzie said.
The editor and publisher at Salina Bookshelf decided to make it into four stories.
Yazzie said the reason for the books was to share with Navajo youth the truth about their history as told by their Navajo elders and also to inform Navajo youth about the strength of their ancestors and the Navajo people.
Now that the fourth book has been published, Yazzie feels her goals with the stories have been accomplished.
"I wanted to leave a really good foundation for Navajo youth so that they could learn the truth of their history from the standpoint of their elders, the ones who had heard it firsthand from their own elders," Yazzie said.
That history is closer than people realize. While Yazzie used to hear people say my great, great, great, grandmother told this story, she would think that was a long time ago, but when she started researching for her story, she realized it is only two generations back.
"As we sat down and began to think about how my maternal grandmother came back, we realized it wasn't really that long ago," Yazzie said.
At a recent book signing at Salina Bookshelf, Yazzie said she received a great reaction to her book.
Yazzie said one of the most pleasing things is hearing about books clubs that are reading her book.
Some relatives of Yazzie's attended the book signing, too.
Yazzie said when she read about the Long Walk in history books, those stories always missed the Navajo voice — specifically the way Navajo people speak and expressed themselves in Navajo.
Yazzie recalls people telling her that they were surprised at the way the English in the book sounds, that it was not correct or that is was off. Yazzie said during her translation of the words from Navajo to English, not everything fell into grammatical lines because of the way Navajo is spoken and she left it that way deliberately.
"I really wanted to have people have that feel of Navajo. I had other people say, 'This is the way my grandmother speaks.' Because they are thinking in Navajo and speaking in English. If people don't like the grammar as a translation, I don't care," Yazzie said.
The books have touched people and sparked memories partly because of the Navajo spoken in the book.
While this series is finished, Yazzie is not done writing. She is working on a boarding school story — she has the framework down and the historical events logged out, but she needs to fill in the people.
Because of constraints within her profession — Yazzie is still a professor emeritus at Northern Arizona University — she would have to go before a review board at both NAU and a Navajo IRB if she wanted to ask personal questions of people she was interviewing. She would need to present her research to those boards and they would have to approve her work. It would be a year to two year process.
Instead, Yazzie said she will rely on the memories of two people who are very close to her.
Yazzie said that is the importance of telling these stories. The Long Walk affected almost all Navajo people. Yazzie's generation heard it first-hand.
The book will be based on three generations because Yazzie needs to interject different events in history with two people who are almost the same age.

Q: Upload image to AWS S3 bucket and serve that image using Amazon CloudFront signed urls I need to upload an image to AWS S3 bucket and serve that image through Amazon CloudFront. Currently what I am doing is uploading the image to S3 with the specified file name. After uploading using the file name I am generating the CloudFront signed url. I am making two separate calls which I want to avoid. Is there a way where in I can directly upload file to S3 via CDN and get the CloudFront url for that file via java spring boot. Any advice is appreciated.
My current code is as follows. I am uploading multiple files at once. In that case getting CloudFront signed url could be trickier I believe or is there any way to get that in multiple upload as well ?
upload to s3
public void uploadMultipleFiles(final List<File> files) {

        final TransferManager transferManager = TransferManagerBuilder.standard().withS3Client(amazonS3).build();
        try {
            final MultipleFileUpload xfer = transferManager.uploadFileList(bucketName, null, new File("."), files);
            xfer.waitForCompletion();
        } catch (InterruptedException exception) {
            //do something
        } catch (AmazonServiceException exception) {
            //do something
        }
    }

Get signed url from CDN
public String getCdnUrl(final String s3ObjectKey) {
        final File privateKeyFile = new File(keyPath);
        String cdnUrl = null;
        try {
            cdnUrl = CloudFrontUrlSigner.getSignedURLWithCannedPolicy(Protocol.https, distributionDomain,
                    privateKeyFile, s3ObjectKey, accessKey, DateUtils.parseISO8601Date("2021-06-20T22:20:00.000Z"));

        } catch (InvalidKeySpecException exception) {

        } catch (IOException ioException) {

        }
        return cdnUrl;

Q: difference between filling out a http form from a browser and using httppost in Android I have an app on GAE at: http://1.myawesomecity.appspot.com/
As you can see, if you choose a file and hit submit, it will 404, but the file actually does get stored (as long as it is not too big, < 100kb). Don't type in anything in the first text field.
The file's post name is "myFile".
I'm now trying to upload files from an Android app using httppost.
The user selects a file and I get its directory, and set the namevaluepair of myFile to the file directory.
I then execute the httpconnection, but the file does NOT get uploaded.
So my questions are.. what are the differences between

*

*going on a browser, clicking "choose file", and selecting a file vs assigning myFile in the  namevaluepair to the file's directory
and

*clicking "submit" to start the upload vs running httpconnection.execute(httppost)?
If there are no differences, the file should upload. The file is NOT being uploaded, so I believe knowing the differences between the two processes (browser vs httppost) should reveal why the file is not being uploaded.
I am certain of the following: my file directory is correct. The server itself (though barely functional) DOES allow uploading through a browser, whether from my PC's browser, Android emulator's browser, or even from an actual Android machine's browser. The Android app's httpconnection is going through (no exceptions are thrown when I execute the httpconnection).
FYI, the server is using GAE's blobstore.
The Android code:
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url); //url is the app's site listed above

        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("myFile", filename) ); //filename is the file's path
        httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

        httpclient.execute(httppost);

A: You'll need to actually send the file, not just the filename. Something as simple as the following should do that for you:
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

HttpPost post = new HttpPost( url );
MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity( HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE );

entity.addPart( "theFile", new FileBody((( new File( filename ), mimeType ));

post.setEntity( entity );

client.execute( post );


Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) with Profractional Laser treatment revitalizes, renews, and regenerates skin!
Our doctors take a small amount of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to obtain Platelet Rich Plasma. PRP aids in wound healing, triggers tissues to regenerate, and releases growth factors for cellular rejuvenation. There is no concern for rejection or an allergic reaction when using this product, because it comes from your own natural biology.
Our cosmetic physicians now use PRP to fight wrinkles, and to improve volume, tightness, and texture of the skin.
The doctors first treat the face, neck, décolletage, or hands with the Profractional Laser to open up deep micro-channels in the skin. Then, they directly apply the PRP to the skin. Your own natural cells soak into the micro-channels and go to work to improve your skin. Remaining PRP is injected under the skin to help support sagging tissues. You get the benefit of a double rejuvenation with the laser and the PRP.
This double rejuvenation heals fast because of the repairing factors in Platelet Rich Plasma. Downtime is minimal.
Call the Laser Center of Maryland for a free consultation. Find out how this treatment can benefit you. (410) 544-4600.


Can Singing Lessons Help With TMJ?
Iggy Azalea has recently proclaimed on Twitter that her singing lessons have done more than just help her prepare for future albums. Believe it or not, she claims her singing lessons have actually helped her with her TMJ as well. At the beginning of 2015, the Aussie singer shared news of her TMJ diagnosis, blaming it on the "drama" associated with her sudden rise to fame in 2014. She pledged to try to take care of herself and try to reduce her stress in the coming year.
Temporomandibular joint disorder, commonly known as TMJ, is commonly caused by a misaligned bite and comes with a plethora of symptoms. Common symptoms include jaw pain and clicking, restricted jaw movement, migraines, as well as neck and shoulder pain. You would think that singing lessons would cause more pain than harm when it comes to TMJ. Well, it is a little more complicated than that.
Many people do not realize how important the jaw is to singing. Moving your jaw is essential to clear enunciation and can help improve the range of your voice. Because the jaw is so important, the surrounding muscles are often massaged before practice, much in the same way that is recommended for TMJ patients.
Good posture is also extremely important to maintain proper airflow, and allow the diaphragm to expand and contract. The proper singing posture is actually very similar to the spinal neutral zone that is recommended to avoid TMJ: you should stand straight with your shoulders back and down. Essentially you want to stand so that your heels, calves, buttocks, shoulders, and head are all in alignment.
There are many ways that you can help manage TMJ pain at home, and it seems like singing lessons may indeed indirectly help with some aspects of TMJ. That being said, it is important to visit with a TMJ dentist if you notice any symptoms of TMJ. While TMJ is not life threatening, it can be a very painful and debilitating condition. If you or a loved one are dealing with TMJ and live in the Denver area, please consider visiting with Dr. Kevin Barry at the TMJ Therapy and Sleep Center of Colorado. He can help fit you with a bite splint that can realign your bite, which is key if you want to address TMJ. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule an appointment, please give us a call at (303) 691-0267.

Sanders, Talena. 2013. Liahona
Sanders, Talena. 2013. Liahona. Watertown, Massachusetts: Documentary Educational Resources.
Reviewed by Jon Bialecki (University of Edinburgh)
Liahona is not an ethnographic film. It is not even a documentary, or, at least, a documentary of the standard type. Consisting of images shot on scratchy 16 millimeter film using a hand camera, mixed with a wealth of found footage (much of it originally filmed by the Church of the Latter Day Saints, for either missionary or apologetic purposes), and shot through with decontextualized voice-overs, it is not concerned with clear explication, or at least with granting immediate clarity. Rather, it has more of the sense of a piece of symphonic music, with images or scenes briefly introduced, which are returned to again and again in different ways as the film proceeds. Again and again, we are shown shots of the stark landscape and expansive skies of Northern Utah, both of which are presented as sublime (in the Kantian sense of the word). This landscape is repeatedly juxtaposed with vintage shots of quotidian Mormon life, as well as with views of prominent Mormon temples in the region, scenes from the Days of '47 Parade down Salt Lake City or the Manti Mormon Miracle Pageant. Some of these scenes are eventually given the necessary context to become readable as the film progresses. Other elements, such as the repeated and unexplained use of characters from the desert alphabet, a column of smoke from a scrub wildfire, or the haunting image of a feathered headdress, worn at either dawn or sunset, shrouded in shadow as it is juxtaposed against the Manti Temple, remain unexplained even at the film's close. (Similarly, the source of the movie's title goes unexplained for those not familiar with it). The soundtrack is equally jarring; we shunt between thundering church organs, atonal droning, and acapella renditions of iconic Mormon hymns such as "If You Could Hie to Kolob" and "Called to Serve."
But this is not to say that the film works merely at the aesthetic register, or that it has no narrative. As the stream of images slowly coheres, bits of Mormon history are presented. Through voice overs and shots of Mormons engaging in re-enactments, we are told about the 19th-century persecution, and the resulting exodus to Utah, that the original Saints suffered. Through similar techniques we are briefly introduced to the concept of Joseph Smith, the founder of the church, as the original Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. We are even given a voice over by the excommunicated Mormon scholar D. Michael Quinn reciting a précis of the argument of his book, Early Mormonism and the Magic World View. Even milestone rituals in contemporary Mormonism, such as leaving for and returning from missions and Temple marriages, are presented through found footage.
For all the cognitive decentering that results from this collage-like approach, these are still warm and mostly accepting portraits. But that is not the only tone struck. At the film's mid-point, we are given a series of title cards (presented first in the Deseret alphabet, and then only subsequently in the Latin alphabet) which touch on some of the darker aspects of life in the predominately Mormon state of Utah. Statistical claims regarding the high rate of plastic surgery, abuse of prescription drugs, divorce, suicide, and even the high consumption of internet pornography are given to us, juxtaposed with quotes from current and previous Latter Day Saints Presidents and officials.
The reason for this mixed appraisal of Mormon life becomes clear as the documentary draws to a close. As the found footage and hand camera shots continue to roll, we are given recordings of interviews conducted by the film's creator, Talena Sanders. Through these talks with relatives and former romantic partners, we are invited to piece together a sort of autobiography by proxy. In this story, Sanders's imagination is first compelled by the Mormon Church that she had familial ties to; only later does she become disaffected by the limited opportunities she saw as being afforded to young Mormon women. The film ends with two readings. The first is by the film's creator, reading the text of the resignation letter she sent her bishop (a step in the formal procedure for quitting the LDS church). The second is from a historical document recounting a witness to the killing of Joseph Smith by an angry mob; this witness was so moved by seeing what he understood as 'supernatural' events during this lynching that, we are told he later converted to the Mormon Church.
This is therefore not a neutral account by someone without judgment; the somewhat alienating presentation of Mormon history and life is an expression of the filmmaker's own alienation from the LDS. But alienation here does not quite equate with a sort of blind animus, as the twinned texts read at the ending suggests. The pairing of a contemporary, legalistic text that effectuates a deconversion with an account of a miracle leading to a nineteenth conversion suggests a basic ambivalence. A similar note is struck by one of the film's closing montages, which shows a translucent image of the filmmaker, in nineteenth century Mormon pioneer garb, on the right-hand side of the screen; on the left, equally translucent, is the filmmaker in contemporary dress, set at the right. The common background here is Utah scrubland, with withered desert bluffs further off at the horizon. Both figures have their backs to the viewer, and both figures slowly turn to mutely face whoever is watching, as if demanding that the viewers bear their witness.
So given this unsettled tone, along with the beautiful, but occasionally hard to track, sensory bluster that takes up significant swaths of the film, it is hard to imagine this as being repurposed as an ethnographic film, unless we have an ethnographic film such as Leviathan in mind. But this does not mean that this film does not have anthropological value or pedagogical use. The question is, then, what does this film tell us as anthropologists, and how might it be used strategically to convey this knowledge to others?
Anthropological work on Christianities, both abroad and in the United States, have made important contributions to pushing back against the secularization hypothesis. It also has done much work in foregrounding the affective, sensory, and material aspects of religiosity. While not as influential as these other streams, there has also been a line of discussion in the anthropology of Christianity in North America that has addressed what might be called the crisis of contemporary conservative religiosity. I mention this because both instances seem apropos of the contemporary Mormon Church. The Mormon Church most definitely has its religious media culture, including its visual aesthetics (though of course some of the practitioners of the tradition have been given more mainline acceptance than others). The same goes for Mormon aural and oral culture, as well. And one of the achievements of this film is the way, through its use of found footage and scenes of public pageants, that it fashions an introduction to that world.
But if belief has an aesthetic, surely doubt must have its own aesthetic, too; and in there is certainly those experiencing doubt within the contemporary Mormon church. A series of Mormon on-line discussion boards, blogs, and podcasts have cohered into something that is often referred to, half-jokingly, as the Bloggernacle. And part of the work done by the Bloggernacle has been to circulate discussions of sensitive topics that had heretofore been chiefly considered only in academic circles, and chiefly accessible only through somewhat restricted intellectually oriented print media such as Sunstone and Dialogue. Discussions of topics such as feminism and LGBTQ rights, along with greater awareness of complex Mormon historical topics such as race, polygamy, translation, and the influence of traditions such as Masonry and Folk-magic on Joseph Smith, are now circulated through Mormon society with an intensity and speed that they previously lacked.
Of course, many Mormons are untroubled by these accounts or have been satisfied with the explanation offered either by Mormon apologists or by the Church itself, which has been releasing a series of essays that address many of these controversies. And some have seen the doubts raised by these issues not as a reason to leave the Church, but to instead have a more sophisticated concept of the sort of truth claims that Mormon scriptures and doctrines make. But for others, this has lead to a prolonged crisis of faith, which for many has been exacerbated by recent controversies within the Church. And while Liahona does not reference all of this material, and was filmed before this most recent round of crisis in the LDS, it captures some of the confusion and strain that many Mormons are undergoing.
This is part of the value of this experimental documentary for anthropology. If we acknowledge that doubting religion is a way of participating in that religion as well, then this film gives us a more full image of contemporary religiosity, which too often has focused as of late on either belief or practice, rather than the speculative and experimental aspects of religion that exceed merely reproducing an image of thought, whether it be through embodied or cognitive mediums. This film also has potential for more mundane pedagogical purposes. While it cannot be taken to stand for Mormonism generally, and needs supplementation to explain many aspects of Mormon practice that are presented but not explicated, I can imagine its use in the classroom. The anthropology of Mormonism has very good published resources, of course, but still much of the best of recent scholarship is only available in dissertation form. Given this, Liahona is a welcome, though not uncomplicated nor sufficient, addition to those interested in supplementing the literature with audiovisual material.

Black heart of Redfern doesn't miss a beat
By Debra Jopson
July 10, 2009 — 12.00am
SYDNEY'S black urban heart has been in Redfern much longer than people think.
Before World War II, it was a bustling centre of Aboriginal life, where people from country NSW found jobs, bought houses and - in the case of the family of Sylvia Scott, an elder, - ran a fruit and vegetable shop.
''It resembles bush living'' ... historian Heidi Norman surveys Walker Street, Redfern, with Lesley Townsend, whose grandparents bought a house there in the 1950s. Credit:Steven Siewert
"There was an abundance of employment and if they worked in a factory, they would get a bounty … at Smith's Crisps, for instance, they could bring chips home," said Heidi Norman, an indigenous historian who spoke at a National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee Week history forum in Glebe yesterday. "It resembles bush living where shearers would come back from the shed and share a carcass with the extended family."
Many know that indigenous people flocked to Redfern in the 1970s, but Ms Norman dug further back after seeing an 1850 painting by John Rae at the State Library depicting Aborigines on what is now the Block watching the first sod turned for Redfern railway station.
One family, the Maddens, had a continuous connection since the British landed in 1788, said Ms Norman, a University of Technology, Sydney lecturer who won the NSW indigenous history fellowship three years ago. She has counted 158 factories in Redfern and Waterloo in 1945. Aborigines clustered in certain factories producing ice-creams, chocolates, cigarettes and bras. Employers considered them good workers, she has learnt through interviews and records.
"Whenever you work with another Koori, you feel more contented, rather than being the odd one out. It is better to see another black face than a sea of non-Aborigines," said Lesley Townsend, whose family has lived in Redfern for more than 50 years.
Her grandparents bought a Walker Street terrace 53 years ago when she was three. She lived there with about six other family members, including two uncles whose jobs helped support them.
"With all the Aboriginal families, extended family would come down [from the country], but they always managed to squeeze in," said Ms Townsend, now the Aboriginal liaison officer with Redfern police.
Her cousins own the house today and are renovating it around a pine their grandmother planted in the front garden in the 1950s.
Ms Townsend remembers the urgency of finding two shillings to restart a rental TV when it stopped mid-program. She recalls the puddings her grandmother made six weeks before Christmas, wrapped in muslin, cooked in the woodchip boiler, then garnished with threepences.
These unearthed memories are a counterpoint to many Sydneysiders' impressions of Redfern's riots, sagging houses and welfare dependency.
"It is a very domestic, homely life people were engaged in, very different to the images today," Ms Norman said.
When the factories closed from the 1980s on, the jobs went. Redfern changed because industry did, she says.

The project is you. Improve your inner world, improve your life. Conor McGregor is displaying traits of a stoic mindset, whether it be consciously or not. You have the outmost free will in any circumstance, regardless of what your emotions might tell you.You are in charge and have the ability to create the life you want. Lesson one: Want what you have. The first lesson to develop a successful stoic mindset is to want what you already have. It's about realizing that the solution to your unhappy life is right in front of you. Learn to appreciate what you already have. You have lived so long with it already and it hasn't made you unhappy or unable to live. So the first lesson of stoicism is to never take anything for granted, and don't root your sense of happiness in possessions or achievements. Desire for more is a source of satisfaction that will never end. Lesson two: Everything is neutral Everything that happens in the world is neutral. All the event has a different effect on everyone, so the natural conclusion is that events are neutral. Your own reaction and perception of the event is what causes your unhappiness. No matter how you react to an event or situation, the facts will remain the same. Instead of overreacting over the fact that you were powerless to stop the situation from happening, focus on what you can control. Lesson three: Practice separation To practice separation and effectively handle the sources of helplessness and stress, separate your life into two buckets: things you can control, and things you can't control. You can't control the weather, the economy or other people's opinions of you. However you can control how you react to it. Lesson four: Turning the obstacle upside down Adapting a stoic mindset is particularly helpful when battling the obstacles we face in our lives. Defeat negative judgements and turn the obstacle around. Train yourself to avoid judging events as purely good or bad. Seek to interpret things that you would normally consider negative as positive opportunities. See the negative events as an opportunity to practice inner strength, calm, control and level-headedness. Lesson five: Assume voluntary discomfort. This is one of the central mindsets that may have the biggest impact in your daily life. Actively seek to make life difficult for yourself. Dissatisfaction in our daily lives is the result of a certain level of entitlement. We just expect things to always run smoothly. According to the stoic philosophy, just because you can afford yourself a nice meal every single day, doesn't mean you should do so. It builds perseverance and grit, but more importantly it demolishes the sense of entitlement that chips away at your daily happiness. So by experiencing discomfort, you will walk away stronger by realizing that you experienced what you dreaded and suffered no ill effects from it. Lesson six: Emotions are created internally Emotions come solely from within and are created completely by your choice. Everything that happens in the world is neutral. Bad or good doesn't exist in external sources, it logically flows that all emotions come from within. What we tell ourself is what creates our feelings. When you feel resistance regarding an obstacle in your life, don't look at the things happening outside of you. Focus instead on what happens inside. How you frame that issue in your mind. That is the cause of your discomfort and your problem. No one can put desire and attitude into your life other than you. Lesson seven: Care less The last lesson in stoicism is to simply care less. Don't ignore everything that's going on in your life, but stop caring about the things you can't control. Free up your internal resources to focus your time and mental energy on things that truly matter. The most precious asset is not money, but time. You can always earn money back, but once a single minute of your life has passed, it's gone forever. Don't spend your time worrying about external forces that are out of your control. A stoic mindset urges you to live as you want right now. It's all within your control, so make a decision and chose to have a better life now.

The Practice Guide is now complete, to the extent that anything of this sort is ever complete. I am hoping that many of you will read it and provide feedback. I would like to know, in particular, what parts are not clear, or are problematic in some way.
The Practice Guide is available as an eBook called "Travel Guide to the Buddha's Path." If you click on the link at the top of the page (Travel Guide to the Buddha'a Path) or go to the Additional Resources page, you can download either the ePub version (iBooks, Nook, etc.) or the Kindle version.
The book is also available at the Apple Store, Smashwords, etc. as well as Amazon. Amazon is somewhat problematic as they do not allow small publishing houses or individual authors to distribute a book for free. I am trying to do a workaround to price match it down to $0.00. In the meantime, however, you can always download it from here.
The Buddha's teachings were always offered freely. It is rather bad form to earn a living from them.

The Brilliance and Wonder of the New Covenant
By Nigel Lloyd16/12/2020From Nigel
4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7 Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9 For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10 Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.
There is nothing more frustrating than knowing what we ought to do but lacking the power to perform it. To see and read and be confronted with all that God desires while one feels unable and without the spiritual power to respond. Does it not leave us feeling disappointed that we do not match up to how we should be as Christians?
I thank God that we do not live in an age when the law of God is written on stone and calls for our obedience without the promise of the provision of help and power. Our Christian lives would be constantly missing the mark, but that is not the case because we are members of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Through the New Covenant there is power and strength to follow every command or principle without which it would make what God requires an impossible task. It is the power of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
In describing the New Covenant, of which we've been made members, Paul contrasts it with the Mosaic or Old Covenant. He associates the New with the Spirit and says that it "gives life," whereas the Old he describes as "the letter which kills" (vs 6-7).
This contrast has been frequently misunderstood. It does not mean that the Law of Moses is sinful or wrong (Romans 7:12-14) nor does it give us two different ways of interpreting scripture that is, the literal versus the spiritual. It also isn't, as some have suggested, doctrine versus Spirit or mind versus heart.
In order to understand this we need to examine the nature of the New Covenant against the Old. In summary, the Law of Moses was imposed from without on a rebellious people, the result of which was death. The New Covenant, on the other hand, is inscribed on the very hearts of its recipients, all of whom, from least to the greatest, "will know the Lord" (Jeremiah 31:33-34).
Everyone in the New Covenant is provided with inner power, that is to say, the Holy Spirit who provides all that is needed. The Old Covenant made no such provision but rather it speaks to a people whose hearts were stone. The effect of God's commandments on unchanged (stony) hearts is condemnation and death. Thus, spiritually speaking, the Old Covenant "killed" and made it, therefore, "a ministry of death" (vs 7).
The problem with the Sinai covenant was not with the law itself, but, as Ezekiel and Jeremiah tell us, with the people whose hearts remained hardened to it. They did not want to live by it! The law remained for Paul, as it did for the Jewish traditions of his day, the holy, just, and good expression of God's covenantal will (Romans 7:12).
Paul says the law itself is spiritual ( 7:14) and yet, although the law declares God's will, it is powerless to enable people to keep it. It shouts, it demands but does not reach out its hand to help.
So the inadequacy of the Mosaic Law was not due to any inherent failure on its part but rather, its inadequacy was, that it could only prescribe what people ought to do but without making provision that would sufficiently enable them to fulfil its requirements. The Law of Moses was quite effective in explaining one's moral obligation and exposing one's sin, but it did not not move to help those who stood under its covenant.
Paul, therefore, speaks of the New Covenant in very different terms. He speaks of its "glory" no fewer than six times in verses 7-11, and he speaks no fewer than four times referring to its superior "glory" this amazing glory of the New Covenant established through Christ!
Why is this so important? It is because the New Covenant is the foundation of your relationship with God! Nothing could be more personal or important than understanding the terms on which we relate to God as our Lord and Saviour and experience the blessings he has for us. Let's go on a Bible train together.
What is provided for us in the New Covenant? According to what we read in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:25-28 it provides significant wonderful blessings, such as the internalisation of God's law, "I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts "(Jeremiah 31:33 and 2 Corinthians 3:3). It provides an unbroken, unbreakable fellowship with God, "I will be their God, and they shall be my people" (Jeremiah 31:33). It provides an unmediated knowledge of God, "no longer shall each one teach his neighbour and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 33:34). And it provides the unconditional forgiveness of sins, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more"(Jeremiah 33:34).
In whom is the New Covenant fulfilled? I'm always a bit surprised that anyone could have any doubts about this, but let me briefly mention some suggestions that have been given. Some "classical dispensationalists" argue that the New Covenant was given exclusively for ethnic Israel and will therefore be fulfilled only in her at the end of the age when Israel as a nation is saved. The Church, according to this view, has no part in the blessings of this covenant.
There have been other dispensationalists who argued that there are two New Covenants, one for ethnic Israel and one for the Church. Happily, this view has been largely if not altogether abandoned by those who first proposed it, but it may be still out there, wooooo.
Others have suggested that there is only one New Covenant and that it is for Israel but in which the Church shares spiritually. In other words, those blessings in the covenant which pertain to salvation are equally enjoyed by the Church, but those that pertain to earthly prominence in the land belong solely to Israel. It's getting rather complex!
Another extremely unbiblical and dangerous view is that there are two covenants, one for the Jewish people and one for those who embrace Jesus as Messiah!
In my view there is only one New Covenant. The Church, being the historical continuation of the believing remnant within Israel, is the recipient of its blessings. So both believing Jews and believing Gentiles, the latter of whom have been graciously included in the covenants of promise (Ephesians 2:12) together and equally enjoy the fulfilment of all aspects of the New Covenant.
For those that want evidence, Mark 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20, 1 Corinthians 11:25, 2 Corinthians 3:6, Galatians 3:29, Ephesians 2:11-22 and 3:6. Plus a load in Hebrews 8:6-13, 9:15,10:15,10:19.
It is as a minister of this New Covenant that Paul happily declares he has been made adequate or sufficient by God. He finds nothing in himself that would otherwise qualify him for this great and awesome task. God made him "competent" (vs 5), as is surely the case with each one of us in the exercise of any spiritual gift or ministry or act of service to which God has called us to.
What an incredible blessing , that the superior glory of the "ministry of the Spirit" (vs 8) or the "ministry of righteousness" (vs 9), that is, the ministry of the New Covenant, will never fade away or be abolished or replaced by one that surpasses it in power or pre-eminence (vs 11). For its provision we give thanks and on its power we rely as we seek first the Kingdom of God and look to its advancement in the communities we live in.

Does America Hate God?

I recently received in the mail a survey from the Founder of IN GOD WE TRUST, Michael Chartrand and like so many others, of course, he asks for donations but not big amounts . He asks for as little as $10 to help him build his organization to get more involved. The survey asks, "Does America Hate God" to show America's leaders and the American people that there are still plenty of Americans who believe God has a place in the public life of our nation, and God is an honored part of our history so his National Survey Campaign will be distributing, collecting and tabulating the results of ONE MILLION SURVEYS from good people who love America and we can proclaim with one voice: IN GOD WE TRUST." If you'd like to participate and donate $10 or more if possible, he may be contacted at IN GOD WE TRUST, P.O. Box 96197, Washington, D.C. 20090-6197. Phone 571-425-4165
He said shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, he heard a member of the clergy give a sermon that mocked the phrase, "God Bless America," asking sarcastically: Whose God and whose America." His mailing included numerous attacks on Christians that, of course, goes mainly unreported by the MSM. Following are incidents of persecution:
ABOARD THE U.S.S. ANZIO (2004)- Lt. Gordon Klingenschmitt, a Navy Chaplain preaching at a Catholic Sailor's funeral, was reprimanded and sent ashore for uttering the name "Jesus."
"CAMP LIBERTY' NEAR BAGHDAD, IRAQ (2005) – a brigade official ordered Army Chaplain Capt. John Stertzbach to "modify" his prayers at the funeral of a slain sergeant to minimize use of the name "Jesus."
DES MOINES, IOWA (2006) – The God-hating "Americans United for Separation of Church and State" won a lawsuit when a federal judge ordered a Bible-based prison program out of the Newton Correction Facility…and ordered the Bible group to re-pay the State of Iowa $1.53 MILLION!
STIGLER, OKLAHOMA (2006) – The American-hating "American Civil Liberties Union" (ACLU) sued to have the Ten Commandments removed from the lawn of the Haskell County Courthouse, even though it was erected with private funds.
OMAHA, NEBRASKA (2007)- State Senator Ernie Chambers sued God in Douglas County Court, alleging that God has caused "calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children , the aged and infirm without mercy of distinction."
MADISON, WISCONSIN (2008) – The Freedom from Religion Foundation, promoting itself as America's largest atheist group, put up billboards urging people to "Imagine No Religion." The group vowed to place these inflammatory billboards all over the nation to confront people of faith.
THE WHITE HOUSE (2009) – President Barack Hussein Obama dropped the long-standing practice of holding a public event at the White House to commemorate the National Day of Prayer.
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY (2010) – A simple wooden cross was placed at the "Wiccan Chapel," a circle of rocks in the woods near the service academy used by witches and warlocks for "black Sabbath" Satan worship. The Superintendent, Lt. Gen. Michael Gould, defended the witches and issues a statement declaring, "I consider this no different than someone writing graffiti on the Cade Chapel," a Christian place of worship.
WALTER REED ARMY MEDICAL CENTER (2011) – The hospital that treated thousands of the most severely wounded soldiers from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan posted a new rule: "No religious items (i.e., Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.
TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY (2012)- A group called American Atheists put up a billboard at Christmastime proclaiming, "Keep the Merry! Dump the Myth!" On the billboard, next to "Merry" is Santa Claus; above "Myth" is a picture of a Jesus statue.
ON THE AIR AT MSNBC (2013)- Radical left-sing TV host Lawrence O'Donnell demands President Obama get rid of the Bible when he is sworn in as President, saying it is "filled with things that no one in the United States of America believes."
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA (2014) – For Christmas, the Satanic Temple built a display of a fallen angel plummeting into a pit of fire with the sarcastic caption, "Happy Holidays!" It was placed right next to a Nativity Scene in the State Capitol.
WASHSINGTON, D.C. (2015) – Shortly after Islamic State terrorists burn a man alive on worldwide TV, Barack Hussein Obama goes to the National Prayer Breakfast to tell the assembled faithful it's the same as Christians during the Crusades.
ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY (2019)- The ACLU and other liberal atheist groups won a lawsuit to force the Pentagon to start removing crosses formerly used as grave markers in all the nation's military cemeteries.
At this point, Michael adds: My friend, if you've read this far and you're not angry yet, you may as well throw my letter away now but if you are like him, you're furious and you're asking: WHOSE AMERICA IS IT ANYWAY and I'm going to add a few of the Hate God stories I've collected.
We could start with my friend and former Oregon Republican Marion County GOP chairman and Circuit Court Judge Vance Day who was appointed by a Democrat Governor but after the Supreme Court on June 26, 2015 decided same sex couples couple could marry, Vance decided to not marry at all and he was removed from the bench without a salary for "ethics violation." Vance and his family decided to fight the injustice, hired attorneys and sold their home to pay for attorney fees and court costs. Within a short period of time, he was falsely accused of allowing a veteran with whom he'd been helping to have a gun. In the end, the vet refused to testify and Vance was exonerated. Day said it was never about the gun. It was because he refused to marry same sex couples. More than 20,000 people donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to his legal battle for which he is humbled and grateful but he lost his career as a Judge.
A Wisconsin correspondent in December 2018 writes: A school principal in an Omaha, Nebraska elementary school has outlawed candy canes because they symbolize "Jesus."
The ACLU had the 10 commandments removed years ago. It's obvious that human logic went with them and has been replaced by paranoia…the paranoia of their wickedness.
BIBLE STUDY CAUSES ELDER & EMOTIONAL ABUSE THEREFORE ILLEGAL
March 7, 2019 An 84 year old widow threatened with EVICTION from a California Veterans Home for BIBLE study. Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) represents Artis Breau. Her husband had served as a Merchant Marine in World War II, served in the famed 82nd Airborne division overseas, and then served in the Air Force during the Korean War. Meanwhile, Artis worked as a civilian employee in the Office of the Chief of Staff of the Army at the Pentagon during the Korean War. She began encountering opposition from officials last September when it was claimed that a discussion between herself and ANOTHER RESIDENT about heaven and hell had allegedly caused him to LOSE SLEEP and therefore was elder abuse, emotional abuse, and otherwise illegal.
PRAY FOR ATHEIST ANTAGONIST ROBERT BERGER
And just as I was finishing the above statement, up pops on my computer screen something New York, atheist antagonist Robert Berger once again craving attention sent to me believing I might be interested in the following post about hate:
Berger it seems has nothing better to do with his life than write single spaced page after page of criticism of many or perhaps all News With Views contributors refuting anything we have to say about the left wing crazies in our midst. He admits he is not a Christian and doesn't believe in Christianity or any other religions and he doesn't fear an imaginary place of eternal torment called "hell." He doesn't hate us, he just pities us and claims that same-sex marriage doesn't hurt anyone but he forgets Christians like former Judge Vance Day who lost his entire career over the U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

BIRTH PANGS ARE UPON US
And perhaps the last best piece of information I might add to this article can be found in an article by Pastor Mike Spaulding who says the birth pangs Jesus describes in Mark 13:1-13 are upon us. Yet, they are essentially ignored by all but a few. The desire of many in these days is for peace and safety. That leads them to explore all types of activities that have spiritual components to them. Being ignorant of the devices of Satan is a sure recipe for bondage and destruction.
Utopian dreams burst onto the American mainstream consciousness in 1967 with the iconic "The Age of Aquarius." Spaulding says the drive toward a one world religion has gained momentum over the last few decades and in Part 2 he said America has undergone an effective New Age indoctrination which is now so pervasive that today we have churches offering yoga classes, so-called Christians selling Angel Boards, the equivalent to the Ouija Boards. Christians are participating in all sorts of activities such a Transcendental Meditation, Psychic Health and Healing Practices, contemplative Prayer, Mantra Meditation, Higher Self, Centering Prayer, Reiki, Labyrinths and Spiritual /formation. These practices are nothing more than white-washed New Age inspired activities, which is to say, they are demonically controlled deceptions. All that remains is for governments across the earth to give their approval to a new spirituality of man-centered, earth worshipping, and humanistic amalgamation of god-hating people who have been strategically elevated to places of prominence by devilish people with the ability to do so.
DEMOCRATS LACK COMPASSION
Democrats went to so far as to block the passage of a Republican bill that would prevent the unborn babies BEING GIVEN a sedative before the dismemberment abortion was to begin to prevent them from suffering. This is known as compassion, even though warped since this procedure should never have been allowed to take place to begin with the approval of Roe –vs- Wade in 1973. It makes me sick to my stomach having to write about this depravity. It amazes me how much effort will be put into saving the puppies after an apocalyptic disaster, and yet not the same compassion for a baby about to be born.
Spaulding says the question sober-minded people should be asking is this: is that possible? Is peace and safety possible in a world where dictators rise up and devastate nations with their greed and murderous ambitions while the world watches silently? Is it possible to have a new spirituality that allows for all expressions of alleged faith except that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life with the one true God? Is it possible to have peace and safety when entire nations of people are taught from the time they begin to walk and talk that other people groups are pigs and apes?
Is peace and safety possible without a brutal totalitarian regime that Orwell and many other modern prophets envisioned? Can the darkness in the human heart be overcome for the benefit of mankind across the world without the Light that is Jesus Christ?
NIGHTMARES IN THE MAKING WITHOUT GOD
All the machinations of mankind whether political or spiritual, are doomed to failure because they begin without God, and they seek an end that is anti-God. Utopian dreamers void of the God who created all things are nightmares in the making said Pastor Mike Spaulding. Here's an example: Sustainable Development was first proposed by the United Nations in 1987 which we now know as Population Control but we already had shackled the planet to save it using abortion, euthanasia, mandated vaccinations, cremation instead of funerals and now human composting. Much to the surprise of millennial greenies, they may all come back as trees.
Spalding pleads with the dear readers to consider this day whom you will serve. Will you serve the God of Creation, the God who has revealed Himself through the Son of Jesus Christ? Will you trust Him for the salvation of your soul and the reconciliation with the Father that He offers? True peace and safety is only found in Jesus Christ.
Lee Duigon wrote in a recent NewsWithViews.com article he can hear the hoof beats – the Calvary is coming in the nick of time. According to a recent study by Harvard and Indiana University Bloomington, Christianity in America is not shrinking, not getting weaker, but growing and getting stronger. In 1989, says the study, American Christians who had "strong beliefs and practices" were 39% of the total. By 2018, that number had grown to 47%. This in spite of public schooling, practically universal college, Hollywood, and the snooze media, all of them implacably hostile to the Christian faith, all of them constantly trumpeting its imminent demise. It seems the American people are not as fond of the Far Left as our self-anointed sages think. As icing on the cake, a Pew poll reported that strong Christians have more babies than do liberals, so naturally our numbers grow. All this should be encouraging news for the Founder of IN GOD WE TRUST so jump on board with your $10 if you agree.
