We stopped by Havana's new-look, new-crew debut party Tuesday, and here's everything you need to know.
Who: New owners, The Settlement Building "brand collective" (Belgard Kitchen, Vancouver Urban Winery and Postmark Brewing), which includes Managing Director/Partner Reuben Major, Co-founder/Partner Steve Thorp (who did all the design). Plus General Manager Miguel Garcia, Head Chef: Andrew Hounslow (formerly of Earls) and Theatre Manager: Alastair Cook.
The Inspo: Prior to the redesign, Major and Thorp took an authentico trip to Havana to eat their way through an off-the-beaten-track food-tinerary that included about 15 culinary stops a day (from street food to local home cooking) and some dangerously late-night art purchases that ended up turning out more than all right as you'll see below.
The Avocado Tostones and the Jungle Bird cocktail—could not eat/drink these fast enough.
Tostones de Aguacate a.k.a. Avocado Tostones ($11). Thick twice-fried plantain chips topped with fresh-to-death pico de gallo, creamy avocado and cotija cheese sprinkles. Verdict: HEAVEN, order a plate and share with no one; overheard: "That avo is fresh AF." Cubano sandwich ($14). Verdict: The salty porchetta and honey ham to zippy dill pickles, yellow mustard and Swiss ratio is on point—loved every bite. Flatbread Vegetariano ($15). Delightfully smoky, fresh and super-loaded with cohiba sauce, cashew cheese, charred corn, calabaza squash and roasted cauliflower. Ceviche ($15). Verdict: The crunchy sweetness of plantain chips with the citrus-marinated Ocean Wise prawns, tomato, scallion and fresno chili is a winner. Flatbread Lechón ($15). Verdict: Your basic B to go with beers who won't do you no wrong: salty porchetta, sweet plantains, generous white cheddar and mojo onions piled on top of soft flatbread. Pretty plantain-forward, just FYI. To Drink: The mojitos are fresh and not too sweet, but while it's this hot outside I'm cooling down with the tart and fruit-punch-esque Jungle Bird ($14), which is dark rum, campari, pineapple juice and lime juice in the cutest cocktail glass you ever did see.
Hours: Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. – 11 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. – 12 a.m., Saturday 10 a.m. – 12 a.m., Sunday 10 a.m. – 11 p.m.
They're calling it, "Mexico meets Cuba" and we. Are. Into it.
Big leather banquets wrap around the whole back area. The painting on the left was something Thorp and Major bought late one night off a street artist in Cuba.
Ooh la la, we love the tile on this bar. In the foreground: star of the hour, the mojito.
Thorp sourced this note-perfect banana-leaf wooden door from vintage odds and sods shop, Jack's New and Used, in Burnaby.
We asked a dozen-plus of the city's top sommeliers to share their picks with us for some very specific scenarios...starting with a pretty timely one.


Deep down I have always been a fan of doing hard things. Not that I don't thoroughly enjoy just lounging on the beach or getting in an afternoon nap. Rather, I believe if we simply default to the path of least resistance, to the easy and simple, we miss out on something important. For it is often in the strain and the hard of work of life, both work and play, that we find the greatest means to shape and build our character. I love going hiking in the mountains, having to work hard to make it just over the next pass. The tired legs and aching back make the expansive views even sweeter. I like taking my kids for little day hikes up in Arroyo Verde Park and when they begin to complain about how tired their little legs are, that's when I tell them we have to go over just one more hill (or more likely two). It is that final press toward victory that makes the journey so rewarding, and you can see it in their faces when they smile under the shade of a tree and talk about how far they went.
Now that phrase is loosely based on a text from Scripture. The actual text is not speaking about overcoming difficulty but facing temptation in your life. The quote is from 1 Corinthians 10 which says, "God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability." But we have taken it and applied it to the rest of our trials and struggles because it gives us hope. It gives us hope that we will be able to overcome, we will be able to endure, whatever it is we are facing. Our hope, then, is like hiking through the mountain pass. We believe that if we just dig in a little deeper, we try and little harder, we give it one last shot, and then we will be over and we will be victorious. After all, God won't give you more than you can handle.
There is an old story of Greek Mythology about a king named Sisyphus. Sisyphus was the founder of Corinth and was a man of great cunning and deception. His hubris didn't stop with his fellow man but was played out in his interactions with the gods. When his life came to an end and he was finally hauled down to Hades, he was condemned to a very particular type of eternal suffering. His punishment would be that of hard labor. Not just any hard labor but hard labor that would be eternally frustrated. His task was to roll and large boulder up a mountain. That was his goal, to get the boulder to the summit. But the boulder was enchanted and every time he reached the edge of the precipice the boulder would slip out of his grip and roll back to the bottom. So he would start all over again – for all eternity.
Another story of a hard and difficult trial is found in the life of Elijah, the great prophet of God. It may not be as memorable as king Sisyphus, but his story is simply amazing. If you remember, he is the one who stood against the false prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel and taunted them to cause their god to consume the altar with fire. When they could not, he turned to the altar he erected to the true God. He dug a trench around it and flooded the whole thing with water. Then getting on his knees, he prayed saying, "Let it be known this day that you are God in Israel." Fire fell from the sky and consumed the altar burning it all dry. Elijah then had the people gather the false prophets. He took them down to the brook of Kishon where they were slaughtered.
The problem was that these prophets were the pride and joy of the wicked queen Jezebel. When she learned what Elijah had done, she swore an oath to kill him. She was relentless in her pursuit of the prophet, and he fled out into the wilderness. But he was worn out; exhausted he collapsed under a broom tree and asked that the Lord might simply take his life. He had nothing left, the tank was empty, it was time to throw in the towel. This man wasn't a coward; he had faced over 450 false prophets all by himself. He wasn't one who had a weak or shaky faith in the Almighty. Time and again God had worked powerful things through Elijah. But he was mentally and physically and emotionally exhausted.
At that moment, laying there under the broom tree, his tale was not different than Sisyphus. It wasn't just that their task was hard or difficult. Rather the task was impossible. The line, "God won't give you more than you can handle," withers and dies with an exhausted prophet. There is no longer any hope in the strength of man. There is no effort that will see him through to victory.
We, too, join Elijah in a task that is beyond our effort. Like Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a mountain we have a task that is doomed to futility. However our task is clothed in far more beautiful garments, our effort is couched in the language of holiness and righteousness. The boulder we set to our shoulders is the holy and pure Law of God. This is a law that calls for perfection and it demands that you love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and love each other as yourselves. Not just give it your best shot, not just try until you feel better about your situation. No, you are to be holy as God himself is holy. And I think we want to do it. We desire to be holy and we assure ourselves that God won't give us more than we can handles. So we gather up our courage and try one more time to reach the summit.
I've seen this resolve in the faces of those who suffer from great emotional and mental anguish. They sit on the couch in my study, and they are worn out and on the verge of tears. Life seems to have come crashing in all around them, but they try and dig deeper just one more time to give it one more go. People fail to be the parents they want to be, the parents God has called them to be. They fail to forgive and help those who have hurt them. They fail to live an upright life beyond shame and vice. And at times they crash down under the broom tree exhausted, done for.
And so we gather together. We gather, worn out, having failed to live as we ought to. Your sins have impeded your process up the mountain. Some of you may have given it a good shot and made it quite far up the mountain. But many more I suspect are like me; having barely got the stone to budge, you stumbled and fell immediately. But here the Son of God arrives in your midst. Here He lifts your eyes to a table prepared just for you. "Arise," He says, "take and eat, this is my body given for you, take and drink my blood shed for the forgiveness of all your sins." Arise my brothers and sisters and feed upon the heavenly food of God. Forgiveness and life are given to you in bread and wine. Arise, for the journey is too great for you.
You are forgiven, and so let us go in the strength of this food to the mountain of our God.
Beautifully written and very convincing. May God use this post and bless many.

The bilateral relationship is based on tangible, steadily increasing security and economic interests, not just shared values.
View this article on the Foreign Affairs website.
At the final presidential debate of the 2012 campaign season, President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney mentioned Israel some 30 times, more than any other country except Iran. Both candidates called the Jewish state "a true friend," pledging to stand with it through thick and thin. Some political commentators criticized these effusive declarations of support as pandering, suggesting that the candidates were simply going after Jewish and pro-Israel votes.
But if support for Israel is indeed such a political winner, then it's at least in part because the voters know best. The U.S.-Israeli alliance now contributes more than ever to American security, as bilateral cooperation to deal with both military and nonmilitary challenges has grown in recent years. The relationship may not be symmetrical; the United States has provided Israel with indispensable diplomatic, economic, and military support totaling more than $115 billion since 1949. But it is a two-way partnership whose benefits to the United States have been substantial. The other, less tangible costs of the U.S.-Israeli alliance -- mainly, damage to Washington's reputation in Arab and Muslim countries, a problem also caused by American interventions and decades of U.S. support for autocratic leaders in the Middle East -- pale in comparison with the economic, military, and political gains it affords Washington.
U.S.-Israeli security cooperation dates back to heights of the Cold War, when the Jewish state came to be seen in Washington as a bulwark against Soviet influence in the Middle East and a counter to Arab nationalism. Although the world has changed since then, the strategic logic for the U.S.-Israeli alliance has not. Israel remains a counterweight against radical forces in the Middle East, including political Islam and violent extremism. It has also prevented the further proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the region by thwarting Iraq and Syria's nuclear programs.
Israel continues to help the United States deal with traditional security threats. The two countries share intelligence on terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and Middle Eastern politics. Israel's military experiences have shaped the United States' approach to counterterrorism and homeland security. The two governments work together to develop sophisticated military technology, such as the David's Sling counter-rocket and Arrow missile defense systems, which may soon be ready for export to other U.S. allies. Israel has also emerged as an important niche defense supplier to the U.S. military, with sales growing from $300 million per year before September 11 to $1.1 billion in 2006, due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel's military research and development complex has pioneered many cutting-edge technologies that are transforming the face of modern war, including cyberweapons, unmanned vehicles (such as land robots and aerial drones), sensors and electronic warfare systems, and advanced defenses for military vehicles.
The U.S.-Israeli alliance has paved the way for the countries to cooperate on far more than just traditional security issues. In part because of the long-standing political and security relationship between the United States and Israel, most Israelis know the United States and harbor positive feelings toward it. Israeli companies looking for a global market for their products have often viewed their American counterparts as partners of choice. So today, Israeli civilian technological innovations are helping the United States maintain its economic competitiveness, promote sustainable development, and address a range of non-military security challenges.
Dozens of leading U.S. companies have set up technology incubators in Israel to take advantage of the country's penchant for new ideas, which is why Bill Gates observed in 2006 that the "innovation going on in Israel is critical to the future of the technology business." Likewise, Israeli high-tech firms often turn to U.S. companies as partners for joint production and marketing opportunities in the United States and elsewhere, creating tens of thousands of American jobs. And although Israelis make up just three percent of the population of the Middle East, in 2011 Israel was the destination of 25 percent of all U.S. exports to the region, having recently eclipsed Saudi Arabia as the top market there for American products.
U.S. companies' substantial cooperation with Israel on information technology has been crucial to Silicon Valley's success. At Intel's research and development centers in Israel, engineers have designed many of the company's most successful microprocessors, accounting for some 40 percent of the firm's revenues last year. If you've made a secure financial transaction on the Internet, sent an instant message, or bought something using PayPal, you can thank Israeli IT researchers.
Israeli innovators have also come up with novel solutions to the water and food security challenges posed by population growth, climate change, and economic development. By necessity, given the geography of the Middle East, Israel is a world leader in water conservation and management and high-tech agriculture. Israel recycles more than eighty percent of its wastewater -- the highest level in the world -- and has pioneered widely used techniques of conserving or purifying water, including drip irrigation and reverse osmosis desalination. And a number of Israeli companies are leaders in the development of renewable energy sources; BrightSource Industries, for example, is building a solar power plant in California using Israeli technology that will double the amount of solar thermal electricity produced in America. These innovations, bolstered by the substantial American investment in Israel, contribute to long-term U.S. domestic and foreign policy objectives relating to sustainable development.
To be sure, the alliance with Israel has not been without risks or costs for Washington. The 1973 War between Israel and its neighbors brought America to the brink of conflict with the Soviet Union and prompted an Arab embargo on oil exports to the United States. Following the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the Reagan administration dispatched U.S. marines to help stabilize the country, which ultimately resulted in costly attacks on American diplomats and military personnel there. And U.S. diplomatic and military support for Israel has reinforced negative attitudes toward the United States in many Arab and predominantly Muslim countries.
But these costs should not be overstated. Beyond leading to largely symbolic UN votes against U.S. positions, Washington's support for Israel has hardly damaged the United States' ties with its Arab and Muslim allies. Standing with Israel certainly has not hobbled U.S. policy toward the region as much as the war in Iraq or Washington's backing of autocratic Arab regimes. Meanwhile, no Arab ally of the United States has ever, as a result of its pro-Israel posture, refused to cooperate with Washington on counterterrorism or denied its requests for access, basing, or overflight rights.
In fact, the U.S.-Israeli alliance has at times helped spur closer U.S.-Arab relations, on the theory that only the United States could convince Israel to make concessions in negotiations; this was part of the logic behind Egypt's shift away from the Soviet Union and toward the United States in the 1970s. And even during the past decade of close U.S.-Israeli cooperation, and despite an impasse in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Arab ties with the United States have largely flourished: bilateral trade and investment are booming, as U.S. exports to the Middle East in 2011 reached an all-time high of $56 billion. Defense cooperation is as close as ever, indicated by the several multi-billion-dollar arms deals that Washington has struck with Gulf allies in recent years. Moreover, several states, including Egypt and Jordan, along with the Palestinian Authority, share intelligence with Israel and at various times have worked behind the scenes to enlist Israel as an intermediary with Washington. This has been the case even with Egypt's post-revolutionary government. All this underscores the fact that self-interest, not ideology, is the primary driver of the Arab states' relations with Washington.
Despite the ties that continue to bind the United States and some Arab countries, the last two years of upheaval have brought turmoil to many of Washington's traditional allies in the region. At a time of great uncertainty, particularly as tensions with Iran mount, the United States is even more likely to depend on its somewhat stable nondemocratic allies, such as Saudi Arabia, and its stable democratic allies, such as Israel and Turkey, to secure its interests in the region. If anything, recent events have reinforced the logic underpinning U.S.-Israeli strategic cooperation.
The benefits to the United States of its relationship with Israel belie the argument that the alliance is based solely on the two countries' shared democratic values, on the popularity of Israel in American politics, or on the elusive pursuit of progress in the peace process. It is a relationship based on tangible interests -- and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
It isn't always easy being Israel's ally (and Israeli actions don't always make it easier). The country faces many challenges, including the unresolved conflict with the Palestinians, internal socioeconomic gaps, voices around the world that deny its right to exist, and now Iran's nuclear program. Israel has made uneven progress toward addressing these issues and needs to do more to remain an attractive partner for the United States. But its past successes in incorporating huge numbers of immigrants, bridging deep social divides, and showing remarkable resilience in the face of war and terrorism provide reason to believe that Washington can continue to count on its closest partner in the Middle East, and will continue to benefit from its alliance with the Jewish state.

Jaw-dropping exploration of our obsessions with high places and how they have come to capture our imagination. Only three centuries ago, climbing a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. The idea scarcely existed that wild landscapes might hold any sort of attraction. Peaks were places of peril, not beauty. Why, then, are we now drawn to mountains?
Filmed by the world's leading high-altitude cinematographers, narrated by William Dafoe and set to a specially curated musical performance by the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Mountain captures the fierce beauty of some of the world's most treacherous landscapes and the awe they inspire.
In the shady camp grounds of Yosemite valley, climbers carved out a counterculture lifestyle of dumpster-diving and wild parties that clashed with the conservative values of the National Park Service. And up on the walls, generation after generation has pushed the limits of climbing, vying amongst each other for supremacy on Yosemite's cliffs.
'Valley Uprising' is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold rock climbing tradition in Yosemite National Park: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity - and the laws of the land.

There's something very BIG going on in the background that they don't want us to know about.

Non-stop Drama
Massive Deceptions
Deliberate Diversions
Juvenile Deceits
Stealthy Misdirection
Disinfo Campaigns
Unparalleled Duplicity

Really, what the heck is going on in 2019?!
It's as though the entire planet is under withering assault in one way or another.
But it's the psychic assaults that are the most invasive and disconcerting, unrelenting and tormenting, detrimental and inscrutable.
It ought to be clear that The Powers That Be (TPTB) who are manufacturing this mind-controlling predicament are doing so with purposeful design.
But why exactly are they doing it?
The following excerpt gives a hint as to why TBTB are pushing the entire planetary civilization into an End-time Madness scenario.
Bear in mind that they know exactly what is around the corner. Their strategically-located observatories and high-powered telescopes give them access to scientific data and astronomical phenomena which is so compelling they feel they have no alternative but to:
• distract us
• deceive us
• divert our attention
(Source: The FINAL SHIFT Fast Approaches)
The critical point here is that those who operate at the peak of the pinnacle of the pyramid of worldly power know their tyrannical reign is at an end.
Because the reign of the Almighty Dollar is soon to be over, their money monopoly will soon collapse just as the OPEC cartel is dissolving in real-time.
The world has been locked down for millennia in a monetary prison that masquerades as the Global Economic and Financial System run by the International Banking Cartel. This global crime syndicate practically controls the entire world community of nations, but it's now losing its power and influence by the week.
Because the banksters effectively own and operate every government and corporation on Earth, they know everything that modern science and technology allow them to know, especially what's going on in space.
The most important development they're aware of is that planet Earth really is experiencing climate change. But they also know this has very little to do with CO2-driven global warming.
They're also cognizant of the fact that Geoengineering Is The Primary Cause Of Global Climate Change, Not CO2. This reckless atmospheric manipulation via chemical geoengineering and HAARP is having calamitous results on all seven continents. But there's a very good reason why they spray us — AND THEMSELVES — like bugs.
TPTB recognized decades ago that the whole Solar System has been going through an unprecedented, incomprehensible and massive metamorphosis. Therefore, they firmly committed to implementing the worldwide geoengineering regime in order to cover-up an extremely inconvenient truth. As follows:
The BIGGEST Coverup in World History
The upshot of this discussion is that TPTB really do know — "They Know" — that something quite immense is out there that is TOTALLY BEYOND THEIR CONTROL.
And that scares the living daylights out of them!
Comet-Planet Identified as Periodic Interloper
Perhaps the most compelling case ever made for the profound and meteoric changes occurring throughout our Solar System was presented by the famous astronomer and geologist Carlos Muñoz Ferrada.
Ferrada was a Chilean scientist who was lauded by the Royal Astronomical Society of London which actually reshaped its polices as follows. The RAS stated that "due to the unusual case of Mr. Munoz Ferrada, all new comets would take the name of the one who first calculated them, and not from the one who discovered it by chance with a telescope." [1]
In order to correctly apprehend the enormity and profundity of Ferrada's work where it concerns Earth catastrophism due to extraordinary astrophysical events, the following two links are provided. The first video in each post that features Ferrada is required viewing for every End-time truth-seeker.
Carlos Muñoz Ferrada Confirms Planet X; Orbit, Speed And Size Reveal A Comet-Planet — PART I
Comet-Planet Identified, Orbital Trajectory Verified by Renowned Astronomer — PART II
What these crucial articles convey is that there is a massive Comet-Planet, which can only be seen in the infrared spectrum, that is perturbing the outermost planets in our Solar System.
In view of the degree of these consistent perturbations, the size and speed of this hypothetical heavenly body must be sufficiently large and fast-moving, respectively, to cause the theretofore inexplicable effects perceived by a number of qualified astronomers over the years.
Exactly where this Comet-Planet is currently can only be calculated by those astronomers who are using a telescope comparable to the Infra-Red Astronomical Satellite telescope (IRAS) that was launched on 25 January 1983.
Therefore, the intriguing question remains: How did Ferrada possibly come to his conclusions about a Planet X without the aid of such a uniquely powerful telescope?
Hyperdimensional Celestial Body
Everything points to the great likelihood that the swiftly approaching Comet-Planet is a hyperdimensional celestial body.
What this means is that the behavior of such an astrophysical entity cannot be predicted the way other planets and stars and comets and asteroids can be. Hyperdimensional bodies simply don't obey the laws of astrophysics and almost seem to have a mind of their own.
This distinguishing quality of the predicted Comet-Planet makes this mysterious astronomical phenomenon quite vexing and unpredictable for mainstream astrophysicists, as it ought to. Being completely ignorant of the more representative "Electric Universe" paradigm renders these telescopic observers victims of a fatally flawed educational system and scientific research model that's guaranteed to get it all wrong. Again, even this is occurring by purposeful design—DIVINE design!
What follows is an excerpt from a previous extended essay on this highly consequential matter.
"Since Hercolubus can behave as a hyperdimensional entity, it exists outside of the normally perceived parameters of our universe. It is, however, extremely impressionable and responsive. Were it to receive the frequencies which indicated that the misguided scientists (and their controllers) have really crossed the line, it just might show up on our doorstep tomorrow … literally!"
(Source: HERCOLUBUS: The Greatest Mystery Of The Modern Era)
It's true that scientists are presently experimenting with highly advanced and extremely powerful technologies that can affect the Sun as well as alter solar activity.
They know that the alternating solar cycles have had major impacts on the Earth's erratic weather patterns and changing climate trends. See: How is the SUN triggering many earth changes, especially global climate change?
This emerging reality has prompted them to apply untested and perilous technology in the name of reducing global climate change. However, because the current astrophysics paradigm is woefully inadequate, the scientists are actually developing and applying technology that is both defective and dangerous.
This simple fact alone is a major determinant as to when and where Hercolubus will appear in the skies. As the ancients themselves experienced, when you can see the red Phoenix in the sky, it's already too late to respond.

The Ruse of CO2-driven Climate Change.
There are, in fact, several factors involved with climate change most, of which the meteorological establishment never discusses in the public domain. As follows:
Global Climate Change: A Definitive Essay On The Primary Causes Of Global Warming soon to shift to Global Cooling
Now the reader understands why the New World Order globalist cabal carried out the biggest hoax in recorded history known as the fake CO2-driven climate change narrative.
The NWO cabal was convinced early on that the existence of a rogue Comet-Planet was simply too scary for humanity to deal with. Therefore, they fabricated the elaborate climate change deception as a means of explaining all the wacky weather. In this way Planet X, as it is known, would escape suspicion. And so it has, except for a few truth-seekers in the Alt Media.
It's also true that the globalists perceived the Global Warming hoax as a way of implementing the final stages of their New World Order agenda. TPTB know that only the prospect of a planetary cataclysm would provide the perfect context in which to roll out their One World Government. Such a totalitarian and communist government would also permit the cabal to exert total command and control over all the Earth's resources and weather.
NWO Cabal Pursues Total Dominion Over The Earth's Weather And Natural Resources
For these and other reasons the globalists will never let go of their fake models and false conclusions that were concocted to support humanity-caused climate change. Were their ridiculous theories to fall apart, the attention would immediately shift to the extraordinary influences within the Solar System. The other planets have likewise registered unprecedented changes that have been documented. See: Why Is The Entire SOLAR SYSTEM Undergoing Massive Changes?
Deception, Diversion, Disinfo & Drama
Now the reader can better comprehend the true purposes behind so much deception, duplicity, diversion, drama, disinfo, misdirection, double-dealing, deceit and dissembling from officialdom. In every realm of existence, the deception seems to get thicker by the month.
Yes, deception is all that the politicos and presstitutes know how to do, but thankfully there's also a specific divine purpose behind the barrage of evil doings by the dark side.
Again, who has ever witnessed so much craziness from the crazies who run this veritable insane asylum, especially as it ratchets up in 2019? When infanticide laws now permit the cold-blooded murder of newborn babies and 6-year-old kids can change their sex without their parent's permission, you know there is something very wrong.
Everyone must ask themselves why the individual and collective madness is amping up by the day. What could possibly be causing the idiocracy to go full-blown mainstream so quickly?
There's no better example of this irreparable tearing of the fabric of American society than the political realm. The Left has been driven stark raving mad … … … and there's no way to get them back to sanity. They're gone for the rest of this lifetime— there's nobody home!
Not only has the Democrat Party gone full bore into communism and socialism, they act like violent bolsheviks and cultural marxists as those criminals who started the Russian Revolution. Things really went to hell in a handbasket in the USA during Obama's 8 disastrous years of building his Obamanation. See What Obama and NASA don't want you to know!
That Hillary Clinton is not only still walking the streets but calling for Trump's removal from office during prime time only serves to greatly inflame the tensions between the Right and the Left. The daily network broadcasts (and newspapers) covering all of this staged nonsense further foment the political conflicts that never resolve and only get worse. This distraction is all manufactured so that no one is paying attention to the pink elephant in the living room.
KEY POINT: So captivating are the governmental deceits in the USA today that the body politic is completely mesmerized by the daily dramas. All of these carefully engineered manic episodes are staged to have maximum effect. In other words, the wackadoodles have been purposely put at center stage during prime time to entrain the gullible, entrap the curious and enthrall the vulnerable. In this fashion have the American people been methodically distracted from so many looming dangers and ruinous conspiracies.
No one is watching the sky and particularly the chemtrails that crisscross American skies hourly. Talk about a monumental cover-up of epic proportions. Could the "cover-up" symbolism be any more poignant?!
As the geoengineers spray tremendous amounts of toxic chemtrail aerosols into the atmosphere so that we cannot see the skies, the chemclouds swiftly create a chemcloud cover that covers up the biggest story on Earth … in the Solar System … and maybe even throughout the Milky Way Galaxy—Hercolubus, the Red Planet.

Agenda of the Dark Side
There's no question that the satanic beings at the top of the food chain are eating more children and drinking more blood than ever before. They are on a serious mission to prolong their reign of tyranny anyway they can, and that requires an intensification of their black occult arts and sciences. Ritual child sacrifice and exploitation really does allow them to maintain and accrue more power.
Toward that end, the forces of darkness are looking to trap as many souls as possible in their demonic MATRIX. They are especially going after vulnerable folks who are getting desperate for any one of a variety of understandable reasons. Souls are being harvested by the Archonic entities like never before during this exceedingly difficult stretch of time.
Therefore, it's imperative that the old souls and enlightened spirits among us stay vigilant. It's very tough out there right now and the human race needs as many truth-speakers as possible to anchor the light around the globe.
Now here's the bottom line for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see.
No matter who you think is running the world (into the ground) right now — Satan, the Antichrist, the BEAST, the devil, the Archons, the Draconians, the Annunaki, the Greys — they all derive their limited power ultimately from ON HIGH.
In other words, even here on Earth, the Illuminati, Black Nobility, Committee of 300, Club of Rome, the Vatican, BIS, the globalists, the International Banking Cartel, Deep State, the CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergers, the CIA, NSA, FBI & DoJ, the Mossad, MI6, etc. — all of them acquire their power within their respective spheres of influence from the Supreme Being. Only by the grace of Almighty God does any animate being even take a step forward.
With this vital knowledge, it's only a small leap of understanding to realize that God — Supreme Consciousness — is always in charge of everything, everywhere, all the time.
Therefore, nothing can ever go wrong … even when it appears to.
Which brings us to the real intention behind this post.
Maya = "Illusion"
In Hinduism, Maya is known as "the supernatural power wielded by gods and demons to produce illusions". The whole world is currently held in thrall by a multitude of multifarious illusions. That's the very nature of the Kali Yuga—the densest and darkest of the ages that's also known as the "Age of Conflict" or "Age of Quarrel".
Because we are presently in the twilight of the Kali Yuga (aka the Iron Age), it's darker and denser out there than ever, just like it's always the darkest just before the dawn.
In light of this stark reality, it's of paramount importance to appreciate that most folks have not woken up yet to the many grim realities such as these: Extreme Dangers And Escalating Risks Humanity is Facing Today.
The masses — by divine will — are meant to live their lives in the state of 'blissful ignorance'. Were it otherwise, if you think it's crazy out there in May of 2019 — AND IT IS — just think about what the state of affairs would be were everyone to know about a rogue Comet-Planet either careening toward the Sun or barreling through the far reaches of Solar System. And, a Comet-Planet that can't even be seen because of its infrared light frequency and hyperdimensional qualities.
It's absolutely true: HUGE Changes Are Coming To Planet Earth. For those who doubt this ongoing fact of life, it has been demonstrated by NASA itself that the Earth's axis has already shifted quite dramatically. See: What's causing the Earth's axis to significantly shift?
Because the biosphere has exceeded so many pivotal points of no return, it's now just a matter of when, not if, we experience a "Phoenix Moment". The biosphere has reached so many breaking points that the die has been cast. And humankind only knows about the Fukushimas and Chernobyls, BP Gulf oil spill and Exxon Valdez oil spill; not the many other manmade environmental catastrophes that took place completely under the radar and which continue to wreak havoc on regional ecosystems silently around the world.
What very few people do realize is that all of these disasters were planned events to further distract humanity and destroy the planet. For instance, did you know that Obama Staged His Own 9/11 That Nobody Suspected? Each of these all-consuming events was fastidiously orchestrated simultaneously with other NWO plots designed to further imprison human consciousness and financially incarcerate the working man and woman. And so they have … with great effect!
Given the ensuing plight of societies everywhere, the will of many residents of earth has been relentlessly broken down. In this way most folks don't even want to hear about a Comet-Planet just as they resist talking about 9/11 truth; it's just too much to take in at this late date. Most will not even look up into the sky to consider the chemtrail toxins raining down upon them every day. In their case the truth will not set them free, it will break up their party of obsessive consumerism and drug-taking and Internet addiction.
KEY POINT: The most important takeaway of this exposé is this: that the state of the collective consciousness is the single greatest determinant of the future of humanity as it is the fate of the biosphere. If we come together in a cooperative spirit and mutual trust, instead of staying in our ghettos of fear, the inevitable transition that's upon us will be much smoother. Hence, the hyeperdimensional Comet-Planet will respond in a manner that eases our blu orb through the long-prophesied birthing process to an awesome New Age.
It doesn't get more serious than this reality check. Therefore, it's not for the faint-hearted or folks who are stressed out. This urgent report is really meant for those who can help guide the unaware through the most challenging time this civilization has ever experienced. Hence, the CCRG highly recommends that this post be shared gingerly and within the proper context.
Above all, — Godspeed ! — wherever your earthly journeys may take you during these tumultuous, turbulent and tempestuous times of transition. Here's a word to the wise:
INDISPENSABLE GUIDANCE for the Cosmic Convergence, 2012 and Beyond.
The "Three Days of Darkness" has been predicted by authentic modern-day prophets over many decades. They all say the same thing which fits perfectly into the appearance of Nibiru and subsequent "Earth changes" scenario. The upcoming convergence of circumstances, both mundane and cosmic, point directly to the fulfillment of Ferrada's "Comet-Planet" forecast. The compelling video that follows presents yet another prognostication of the coming "Three Days of Darkness". Those who have been enlightened about these eventualities are obligated to educate those who are not.
URGENT: Details on Three Days and Nights of Darkness (Video)
The CCRG has written extensively about the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar (MLCC) and closing of the Kali Yuga. The Mayan Calendar is a 5125-year-long period that is defined by the same duration as the Kali Yuga. The Mayan Calendar began approximately 3113 B.C. on the very same day that the Kali Yuga started with the death of Lord Krishna. That's how the experts got to December 21, 2012 A.D. However, because of the number or errors that have crept into the calendar-keeping over the millennia, it's clear that the real MLCC end date was not 2012; rather, it's most likely 2019, 2020, or maybe even 2023. Only time will tell in spite of what the New Age prophets have predicted. See 2012 May Really Be NOW or 2023!

Excerpt about the true meaning of the PHOENIX from WORMWOOD: Forerunner of Nibiru, Harbinger of the Apocalypse
The PHOENIX is reborn from its own funeral pyre after self immolating at the end of its life cycle.
*** The Esoteric Meaning of the PHOENIX ***Also known as the legendary Firebird, the PHOENIX[1] is a mythological and metaphorical harbinger foretold by many of the ancient civilizations. From time immemorial, this winged messenger has represented what all the cultures of antiquity knew about the cyclical ending of the ages. Especially at the end of the Kali Yuga, because of the turbulent, tumultuous and tempestuous transition to the Golden Age, is this apocalyptic allegory more relevant than ever.
Perhaps the PHOENIX is just another name for Nibiru, like Hercolubus and the many other labels for the Comet-Planet known as Planet X. After all, the myth associated with this legendary bird does portray the oft-prophesied ending of the Iron Age with uncanny precision. The PHOENIX self immolates on its own funeral pyre only to rise from its ashes, just as human society is now doing during this twilight period of the Kali Yuga. Who among us has not heard of the coming Golden Age — an age that can only begin after the dissolution of the current planetary civilization?
In 1997, simultaneous with the appearance of the awesome Comet Hale Bopp[2], another event took place in the skies over Phoenix, Arizona. The Phoenix Lights[3], as they are known, were arguably the most dramatic UFO display in modern history. It is quite significant that this winged formation of extraordinary lights appeared over PHOENIX. It's also no coincidence that this slow-moving, triangular pattern of lights occurred in the skies of a major American city very near in time to the perihelion (closest point to Earth) of the extraordinary comet Hale-Bopp.
Truly, the PHOENIX appears to every human race or culture, civilization or society, planet or continent, that is ready to be reborn. The current race of humanity knows that Mother Earth is ripe for such a planetary renewal and rejuvenation of her biosphere. And so it shall be done.
[1] Comet Hale-Bopp (aka the "Great Comet of 1997″) was most visible in the skies around the world during the entire month of March of 1997.
[2] The Phoenix Lights took place on March 13th 1997 and traversed the major metropolitan area of Phoenix.
[3] "Scholars have observed analogues to the phoenix in a variety of cultures. These analogues include the Persian anka, the Hindu garuda and Gandaberunda, the Russian firebird, the Persian simorgh, the Turkish kerkes, the Tibetan Me byi karmo, the Chinese fenghuang, and the Japanesehō-ō."
(Per Wikipedia – Phoenix mythology)

DYNAMIC DUO, FRENCH MONTANA AND HARRY FRAUD RELEASE ALBUM COLLABORATION 'MONTEGA'
Caroline Schwartz
Artist French Montana and producer Harry Fraud have teamed up to give fans a collaborative album titled, 'Montega.' This full-length album consists of 12 tracks with various artist appearances from Quavo to the late rapper Chinx and will be the fifth studio album for Montana.
On June 6, the two artists took to social media to announce the album's release on June 24, providing fans with a few sneak peeks. In the Instagram posts, they previewed the album cover along with various instrumental music snippets.
Fraud described the importance of this collaborative piece in his post saying, "From the lowest lows to the highest highs me and @FrenchMontana have been through it ALL […] we solidify our legacy, OUR BEST WORK."
This rapper-and-producer duo began back in 2009 with the production of French Montana's early hits, "New York Minute" and "Shot Caller". Since then, every project has been enhanced by the chemistry between the two.
"Montega" will be the next major release for French Montana since the release of his album "They Got Amnesia" back in 2021.
Before the album's debut, "Blue Chills" was released as the album's first single. This teaser was accompanied by a visual video to get fans even more excited.
In the visual video, French Montana can be seen rapping on the roof of a New York City building. Fans flooded the comments sharing their excitement for the next chapter of the artist's career.

Project Description: The Camino A Lago project is a 365 acre 1250 unit single family master planned community located in Peoria Arizona. The project contained extensive drainage channel design to convey offsite flows. CVL worked closely with the Flood Control District to ensure the project was not delayed.
• Portions of the sewer line were designed within existing roadways that contained multiple existing utilities. Utility coordination was a critical component to the success of this project. CVL was able to coordinate efforts with utility companies during the early planning phase and was able to mitigate future issues.
• The soil conditions consisted of sandy cobble material that makes sewer construction difficult. CVL was able to plan early and design to minimize the amount of sewer within the cobble conditions and reduce the need for trench shoring thereby reducing overall construction costs and minimizing safety issues.
• Extensive storm drain, drainage channels and box culverts throughout the site added to sewer design difficulties. Preplanning of the sewer alignments and drainage requirements resulted in minimal storm drain, drainage channels and box culvert crossings. This reduced sewer depths and ultimately construction costs.
• A tight time frame, which CVL was able to accomplish with a complete and accurate set of plans that were approved at second submittal.
• An active sewer line running through the middle of the site serviced adjacent properties and needed to remain operational until the new relocated line could be built. CVL was able to get the plans through the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department in two days and get the water and sewer plans approved by the City of Tempe as a separate stand-alone submittal. This allowed the contractor to start the relocation as soon as possible.
• Retention was also a challenge for the site, as there was little open space available. CVL was able to resolve this issue by using an underground storage system under the parking garage and then bleeding the system to drywells.


Due to a heating issue which required the relocation of worship, we were unable to livestream the service on Sunday, December 16th, 2018.
Due to the Ice Storm, worship was cancelled on Sunday, April 15th.
Good Friday - Sorry, we had a technical difficulty with the livestream this morning and it did not record.

We want this competition to produce songs that can inspire the nation to keep on moving forward despite setbacks and difficulties," shared Pioneer's Marketing Head Len Pozon.
A panel of professionals and practitioners from the music industry will screen the entries and select ten finalists, all of whom will receive PHP 100,000 worth of insurance coverage from Pioneer.

Over the past few years, Pioneer has made it their priority to support the arts by encouraging the youth towards artistic pursuits through competitions in various creative fields like video production, playwriting and this year, songwriting.
"Filipinos have always loved music, and songs are a powerfully simple way to express oneself and inspire others," shares Ms. Pozon. "We want to share Pioneer's message of hope through this competition and through the next generation of homegrown musicians. This competition is also a wonderful chance for us to support and promote our local music industry among the youth, through our partnership with FILSCAP" says Ms. Pozon.
Since September, the FILSCAP Campus Caravan toured several universities around Metro Manila. Students from the University of The Philippines Diliman, University of Santo Tomas, San Beda College Alabang, University of Makati and De La Salle University Manila had the chance to learn about songwriting from prominent songwriters and icons from the music industry like Rico Blanco, Yael Yuzon, Gloc 9, Champ Lui Pio, and Raimund Marasigan. The Campus Caravan is set to visit University of the Philippines Los Baños and University of Mindanao this November.

Shell Bike Fair 2016 at World Trade Center
26 September 2016 September 26, 2016 Ruel UmaliLeave a comment
The Philippines is home to a strong 4-million motorcycle community that still continues to grow everyday. The recent rise in number of motorcycle riders for the past couple of years has cemented the popularity of the two-wheeled vehicle, making it an indispensable mode of transportation for Filipinos all over the country.
Coming from a successful celebration of all things motorcycle last year, Pilipinas Shell takes things to the next level by hosting a bigger and grander Shell Bike Fair 2016. To show Shell's appreciation for the motorcycle community, this year's Shell Bike Fair is a series of three grand events in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The three-part celebration was made possible by Shell Advance, Shell V-Power Nitro+, and Shell Select.
Shell Bike Fair 2016 – the third and final leg of the Shell Bike Fair 2016 was held at the World Trade Center through a day filled with games and entertainment for the company's valued customers. Upon entering the world-class location, the attendees were treated to fun demos and games at the different booths set up throughout the venue.
Exciting performances by Imago, Gracenote, Mocha Girls, Callalily and Parokya ni Edgar plus other surprise celebrity appearances brought the house down, with the crowd partying along to their favorite hits. The event ended on a high note as several motorcycle clubs received special prizes and three lucky guests brought home their brand new motorcycles.
Partners on the road
Shell aims to demonstrate that it is a trusted partner of motorists in their every ride. Using Shell Advance can help provide easier engine starts, as well as long-term cleanliness and overall maximum protection, for a smoother ride on the road. Shell's world-class lubricants go hand in hand with the use of Shell V-Power Nitro+, Shell's premium performance fuels, which are designed to fight gunk and corrosion. And lastly, Shell aims to make every visit to a gas station worthwhile through the wide array of snacks, refreshments and hot meals that Shell Select offers for riders on the go.
"For over 100 years, Pilipinas Shell's products and services have evolved to meet the current needs of Filipino motorists. We want our customers to know that Shell is every Filipino motorist's partner on the road. Aside from quality lubricants and fuels, offerings such as the Shell Select convenience store, Shell Helix Oil Change+, and other integrated services, Shell has evolved into more than just a gas station – it is a pit stop that fuels both you and your motorcycles," said Anthony Lawrence Yam, Pilipinas Shell Vice President for Retail.

Ginny Guanco's figures for her painting exhibit at the Galerie Y in SM Megamall are what can be described as a Bohemian's rhapsody. The art show, which features all-female subjects, opens on September 15. Of the 32 colorful paintings of women, 26 of these are clad in classic boho chic designs in a bow to the artist's roots as a full-bloomed flower child in the 70s.
Even in her growing up years, Ginny's inclination to art was already very evident. In school, she participated in art contests. It was no surprise that after graduating high school from the College of the Holy Spirit in Mendiola, Fine Arts was the course she chose at the University of Sto. Tomas. As an artist immersed in her era, she believed in the message of peace, love, joy, and happiness against a backdrop of rock music and hippie art. "I was also really into bohemian fashion then as much as I am now. I did not outgrow my fashion taste, because I feel that it fits my personality and represents who I really am."
Her 26 muses are clad in similar fashion, in flowy and flowery creations and are labeled, alphabetically, after hippie names that derive inspiration from the elements. Among the collection, exhibit guests would meet Aura, Freedom, Lilac, Seagull, Meadow, and Ocean, all hand-drawn in acrylic, in a style which Ginny describes as a fusion of fashion and art illustration. This effect is a direct result of her training as an artist both in the UST and in the Corcoran School of Art in Washington D.C., along with fashion illustration lessons from no less than the doyenne of Slim's Fashion and Arts School, the late Salvacion "Slim" Lim Higgins. "I would describe my drawings as a mix of the two drawing disciplines where one features elongated figures for fashion and the other shows a more sinewy effect as in the fine arts," she describes.
Paintings number 27 to 32 is her homage to the strong women in the comicverse, featuring pop culture heroines from Marvel and DC franchises – Black Widow, Elektra, and the two main incarnations of Wonder Woman. "I have always been attracted to strong female characters, as I was also very much into women's rights in the 70s. I have always believed that women should be empowered, that regardless whether you are a career woman, a CEO, a homemaker, you shouldknow how you are as a person, knowing your worth, a human being to be respected and not looked down upon. And one who is secure in who she is."
The solo exhibit took a long time in coming, as Ginny took a 15-year hiatus from painting, pursuing a career, first in the media, and later on as a public relations professional. It took the passing of her favorite ginger cat, Simba and a few art materials lying around to get her back to art. A post of her finished figure on social media garnered a lot of interest from friends to convince her to take up the brush again. A chance meeting with Galerie Y owner Rollie Yusi, who viewed her works with interest, set the exhibit in motion. Ginny's boho-inspired pieces join the gallery's carefully-curated works by established and emerging Filipino artists as it works toward the enrichment of contemporary Philippine art.
Ginny Guanco's Boho Chic exhibit will be on view at Galerie Y from September 15 to 24. Opening cocktails are provided by; Chef Jojo Javier's SWEETIELICIOUS, Chef Greggie Mercado of AGING'S FOOD DELIGHT, WINE DEPOT, NESTEA AND KITKAT Strategic Works, Inc. and Ginny Guanco. The gallery is located at the 4th floor of the SM Megamall, Bldg A. For more information, contact Galerie Y, open from Mondays to Sundays, 10 AM – 10 PM, or call 634- 2704.

Gatorade Run on November 27, 2016
The world's number one sports drink, in partnership with Runrio, will once again hit the road for the second year of the Gatorade Run.
It will be held on November 27, 2016 at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The run will have two distances—11K and 22K.
More than 6,000 runners registered in last year's run which featured hydration stations where participants got pre-race hydration drinks, a post-run hydration test area where runners instantly learned about their hydration status, and a warm-up area where free sessions were available for those who wanted a full-on warm up activity before and after the run. Gatorade ambassadors Jeron Teng, Jaja Santiago, Chris Banchero, Jett Manuel and Ara Galang were among those who were present to support the runners.
This year's run promises to be more exciting, while still focusing on the importance of pre- and post-run hydration. Pepsico Marketing Manager for Hydration Tony Atayde said, "Gatorade is a global leader in sports performance and we'll definitely bring that expertise to the run. Learning the benefits of proper hydration is crucial for runners and we look forward to reinforcing that message through the Gatorade Run. We're excited to show runners how, whether in sports hydration or a unique consumer experience, NOTHING BEATS GATORADE."
Registration for the Gatorade Run 2016 will start on September 12. Log on to runrio.com for updates and to register.
Pillars 5 – Health and Wellness in all natural food supplement
Younger people are getting sick with degenerative diseases and it is increasingly becoming common among them to suffer because they are following an unhealthy lifestyle — they do not have the right nutrients that their bodies need from a proper diet and they lack exercise to keep their bodies in top shape.
Responding to this unpleasant trend among people young and old alike, Pillars 5, Inc. aims to foster health and wellness by bringing in all-natural food supplements that help the body to rebuild its immune system and restore it back to optimal health.
Through Pillars 5's network of home-based entrepreneurs, the company's passion for bringing back health to people has helped not only those in need to get back their lives from all the unhealthy practices, but also those people who have a dream of building their own businesses and achieve financial freedom. Pillars 5 is not shy to say that they are a multi-level marketing (MLM) company and it has been a big challenge for them, to differentiate themselves from most MLM companies and also to expunge the negative preconceived notions on the industry.
"MLM is an industry with a negative image because of how many of the companies in it has been operating. People have compromised their values and so the industry, as a whole, has been compromised. You will find many people being scammed by companies with less than superior products and dubious business practices," explains Pillars 5 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ramon Garcia. The lack of regulations for the MLM industry does not help companies who do their best in building a better image for the industry, especially those with products that could really help people.
"On top of that, many people don't have a good understanding of the MLM industry that they represent and are not able to communicate what their company has to offer. What we have set out to achieve is to build our business based on five core values: Servant Leadership, Humility, Excellence, Integrity, and Stewardship. Those core values are the uncompromising foundation of our business and, we believe, they will serve us very well now and in the future," Mr. Garcia adds.
They pass on these core values to their home-based entrepreneurs— their distributors— by building a strong relationship and by educating them on how they can "add value" to their customer's life. For Pillars 5, it is always the best to educate, train, and equip people so they will understand the business, do it the right way and make an honest living. Relationships drive everything else that happens after that and for Pillars 5, it's about helping and supporting their distributors and their organizations to grow.
"We strive for consistency in what we say and do; staying focused on the company's vision; staying true to our core values. Over time, this is how people will perceive us differently from the rest of the pack," Mr. Garcia notes. "We differentiate ourselves from the rest by explaining how we do things differently, i.e., affordable entry into the business, product emphasis, no hard selling, no false claims and promises, no hype."
When these relationships with their distributors have been solidified and imbibed with the company's core values, it is almost always easy for the distributors to market their products sourced locally and internationally.
The Pillars 5 business is well-founded on products that are made from all-natural ingredients that can give people peace of mind on their usage of them. Unlike synthetic food supplements in the market, Pillars 5 food supplements come from whole foods. Because they are whole-foods based, the activities of the nutrients in their ingredients are kept intact to complement the natural mechanisms of the human body so that the cells in the body can use these nutrients readily.
Headlining their product line-up is Life Enzyme, a multi-nutrient supplement. It is sourced from 150 fruits, vegetables, and herbs that have been fermented for 365 days. This process magnifies the nutrients in these ingredients and through the beauty of biotechnology, makes them bio-available to the body. It is produced in Taiwan by their partner, Enzyme Village.
Nutrishuz Green Foods Health Drink and My TLC Essential Oils are formulated by their biochemistry expert consultant and produced in the Philippines. Nutrishuz is a delicious veggie drink ideal for people who are always on the go – an energy booster and contains ingredients good at detoxifying and strengthening the immune system. Even kids rave about it. My TLC, on the other hand, is an aromatherapy product. A great home remedy for common ailments, it is applied topically or inhaled, and is a must to carry in your bag or pocket. It is powerful because it already makes use of the very essence of a plant in addressing health issues.
The Souq Moroccan Argan Oil is sourced from Morocco, comes purely from the Argan nut, and undergoes pressing from organically certified operations. It is beauty product that rejuvenates the skin, hair, and nails.
Their customers give all positive feedbacks but Mr. Garcia constantly reminds that their products are not cures or treatments for illnesses, but emphasized what Pillars 5 products do very well, "to rebuild and restore." We help rebuild the immune system so that the immune system will restore the person back to optimal health. Our body is the intelligent healer, not the products. What our products do is give the body what it needs to heal and repair itself."
Pillars 5 is a company that provides an opportunity not only for those who would want to regain their optimal health back, but also for those who would want to build on their dreams. The road will definitely not be easy, as they face many challenges in building each other's dreams while at the same time helping change an unhealthy world. Challenges can be met and inspiration ripples through others, motivating them to push on. "We are in the throes of a health revolution and we want to lead it," Mr. Garcia says.

In acknowledgement of the value of every species on earth, HT1 offers a wide range of conservation services, which can be carried out in the field or at local stations.
HT1 have worked on the culture of endangered plants in Ecuador, Galapagos, South Africa or back here in Denmark, with some of the work being done in situ and some in a laboratory, as with vitro: meristem propagation. In a laboratory, a single leaf can be cloned to produce 1000s of tiny plants that can be nursed until they are strong enough to be re-introduced to their natural environment.
Nursing the small plants until they can withstand the harsh local climate.
Achieving a balanced outcome for the local people.
Our work is not just with plants, but animals too: raising them in protected environments, nursing the young till they are larger and agile, and providing the needed food. Every single member of the litter makes it to adulthood. Preserving the species is just on side; the other side is to preserve the entire habitat.
HT1 have worked in both temperate and tropical areas, addressing issues such as the encroachment of invasive species to the sensitive issues of involvement of the locals, giving them both understanding and income.
HT1 has been involved in the coral reefs of i.e. Sulawesi; Indonesia. Changing the main income from dynamite fishing to guiding divers, running green hotels and other nature friendly businesses. On Galapagos, the job was to re-build the natural flora via a new nursery and reclaiming the wild for the native plants. In Ecuador, the wildlife had to be documented to show the need for nature reserves.
Economical rich countries are willing to help with this, if the project are well documentation. Again, HT1 can provide help.


ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Junior Allison Cappellino registered a match-high 17 kills to lead the American University volleyball team past Navy, 23-25, 25-18, 25-17, 25-8, on Wednesday evening.
The Eagles, who have lost just four sets in Patriot League play this season, improved to 21-5 overall and a perfect 12-0 in conference action. Meanwhile, the Midshipmen dropped to 11-11 overall and 8-5 in the Patriot League.
Senior Kelly McCaddin, who posted a .588 attack percentage, registered 11 kills for the Eagles, while Cappellino added 12 digs to become just the fifth player in program history to reach 1,000 career digs. Senior libero Megan Rosburg also had a strong performance for AU, recording a season-high 20 digs, while senior setter Monika Smidova posted her 16th double-double of the year with 43 assists and 10 digs.
In a close opening set, Navy pushed ahead to a three-point lead at 16-13 and again at 19-6, but both times, the Eagles were able to come back to tie the score. American managed to take the lead at 21-20, but Navy responded with four straight points before holding on for the two-point win. The Mids registered six total blocks in the set, as AU was held to a .077 hitting percentage.
American regrouped in the second set, using a 10-0 run with Smidova at the service line to take control. While Navy battled back, getting as close as six points, the Eagles were able to hold on for the 25-18 set victory. Cappellino led AU in the set with five kills, while freshman Erin Swartz recorded four of her match-high seven blocks.
While AU led for much of the third set, the score remained close throughout. The Eagles held a narrow 18-17 advantage, but closed out the set with seven unanswered points to take a 2-1 lead in the match. McCaddin led American with five kills on eight attempts, as the Eagles' hitting continued to improve.
Smidova again helped AU pull away in the fourth set, breaking a 6-6 tie with a 13-0 service run. Navy was only able to come up with two more points, as the Eagles rolled to a 25-8 win. The Eagles, led by four kills from Cappellino, hit a match-high .481 in the fourth set, while holding the Mids to a negative attack percentage.
"We battled Navy well early in the first set, but ended up making a few costly errors as Navy's block ended up being the difference late in the set," said American head coach Barry Goldberg. "From there we rebounded well, as our serve and attack began to take control. The final outcome was a hard-fought victory on the road.
"We are looking forward to continuing our improvement in our final two weekends of Patriot League play. Ultimately, our hopes are to compete for another championship and to have an appearance in the NCAA tournament in December."
American closes out its regular-season home slate this weekend with a pair of Patriot League matches, hosting Holy Cross Friday at 7 p.m., before facing Army on Saturday at 4 p.m.

Q: Changing value of variable inside argument in kotlin In Java you can do the following:
boolean a = true;
if(a = false) {
   //////
}

And a will be set to false and be used after that as argument. But in kotlin, I couldn't find a way to do that, except for:
var a = true
a = false
if(a) {

}

Is there any better way?

A: You can do this inline in a slightly different order - by writing the value to be assigned (false) first, and using the also scope function to assign it:
var a = true
if(false.also { a = it }) {

}

However, I would not recommend you to do this in either Java or Kotlin, as this is not very readable. There is nothing bad about writing the assignment as a separate statement.

Lawrence Man Joins 'Day Without Immigrants' Demonstration
A Day without Immigrants demonstration hit home in Lawrence and the surrounding areas as businesses felt the effects, and protests were staged in front of City Hall in Kansas City, Missouri. But for one local protestor, Miguel Lopez, participating in the nationwide protest was a necessity.
"It was very good because we went and saw that there are many Spanish people supporting this meeting and supporting the immigrant people in this country," Lopez said. "It was our meeting with Mr. President Donald Trump."
Lopez is an immigrant from Mexico. He has worked as a cook and lived in Lawrence for six years. But while Lopez kept his job, hundreds of others across the nation were not so lucky.
"I was afraid," Lopez said. "But even if I had lost my job, the cause could not be postponed. We are all immigrants, together, supporting this cause."
While the nationwide protest was the first of its kind, to University of Kansas sociology professor and immigration researcher Cecilia Menjívar, a tense immigration climate and stigmatization of immigrants is not new. It features a different ethnic group this time around.
"This has historical precedence," Menjívar said. "What is new now is this continued stigmatization and more and more laws that push people to be seen as criminals. We also have a much more enhanced and amplified enforcement system today that, together with the laws that are being passed, I think is significantly different."
Immigrants make up more than 13 percent of the United States' overall population. Both Menjívar and Lopez said they know more laws concerning immigration are on the way, and the protests are only the beginning.
"For Latino immigrants, yes, there is more stigma, especially because laws have pushed the foundation of crime with being an immigrant, especially of Latin American origin and especially immigrants working in particular sectors of the economy," Menjívar said. "So when you have that confluence, more Latino immigrants are criminalized, so that is very stigmatizing."
That's the message Lopez hoped the country would receive, emblazoned proudly on his sign — "We are not criminals, we are workers."

The Apache mod_status module is used to monitor the performance and activity of an Apache web server. The http-apache-server-status.nse script detects the existence of an Apache mod_status server-status page and attempts to parse useful information such as the Apache version and recent HTTP requests.
Limited the results table output to unique vhost & URI combinations based on recommendations from http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2016/q1/256.
Thanks, awesome! I reduced the requests part to just the VHosts, and added extraction of the Apache version in subsequent commits. Glad to have your contribution!
@dmiller-nmap Thanks for all your help, the improvements look great!


AS DEMAND FOR "green" products increases, more and more technologies and opportunities for bio-based products are emerging alongside to meet those needs. Crops like corn, wheat and soybeans are starting to replace traditional petroleum-based ingredients in these new bio-products, making them easier on the environment and lessening our dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels. They're also creating new market opportunities for farmers.
One such market that is growing rapidly is that of bio-based lubricants and industrial fluids, which are made using soybean oil. This includes everything from hydraulic and transmission fluids to greases, motor oils, fuel additives and even a WD-40-like product, produced by companies like Renewable Lubricants of Ohio. Their Canadian distributor is DM's Bio-Based Fluid Supply Inc. of Bolton, Ontario.
Over the last year, Marentette has involved several of his products in a field trial with the University of Guelph. The University tested a 5W20 motor oil – used extensively in Ford and Chrysler vehicles – as well as a 15W40 diesel engine oil, a diesel fuel additive and chainsaw oil. The reason behind the trial was to evaluate performance and ensure the bio-based products did as well or better than the conventional products in use at the school.
"We wanted to make sure that our products would perform as well as those they were currently using at Guelph," says Marentette, adding that the University was very interested in pursing bio-based alternatives.
The trials proved to be a success. The soy-based chainsaw oil is not only less harmful to plants and grasses, but also lasted longer than the conventional product. The motor oil also performed well, extending the oil change life of each vehicle where it was used from 5,000 km to 8,000 km.
There are also environmental benefits that are considered when they're making their purchasing decisions, says Cook, explaining that although they are always careful, sometimes spills do happen when the equipment is being used, but there is less potential for pollution from the bio-based products.
The University has switched its snow plows to DM's hydraulic oil, and is working on implementing use of the 5W20 motor oil across its fleet of owned vehicles, as well as the diesel fuel additive. Its lawnmowers will begin running on the bio-based product in the spring. Cook says they've also started using a diesel fuel treatment product that will help boost engine lubricity and decrease smoke emissions from small engines.
Although he currently only distributes US-made product, Marentette's company owns Canadian manufacturing rights that he plans to implement once the Canadian market – both in terms of consumer demand for product and farmers' ability to grow the high oleic soybeans required for these products – gets bigger.
That's the reason why Guelph-based Soy 20/20, an organization dedicated to supporting and developing new bioscience opportunities for Canadian soybeans, became involved in the project and helped to link up DM and the University for the lubricant trial.
As well as providing a market opportunity for growers, DM's bio-based lubricants can also be used on-farm to reduce costs and improve equipment performance. The fuel additives will help increase fuel economy and decrease emissions, says Marentette and although the cost of the products is often higher than the conventional alternatives, the benefits will come into play over the long term.

Rohini (रोहिणी) ime je hinduističke božice značajne u indijskoj astrologiji i astronomiji jer je personifikacija "crvene zvijezde", Aldebarana, zbog čega ju zovu Rohini Devi = "crvena božica" (devi = "božica").

Rohini je dio skupine božica zvanih Nakshatra (नक्षत्र), koje su bitne u astrologiji zbog određivanja osobina, a opisane su kao kćeri drevnog boga Dakshe i gospe Panchajani. Zajedno sa svojim sestrama Kṛttikom i Revati, Rohini je "božanska majka". Chandra Deva — bog Mjeseca — oženio se Rohini, koja mu je postala najdraža supruga.

It's got to be the Vulcan Bomber for me because it might have only seen action once but it flew like there was a fighter trying to get out and I will never forget the time as a child when we were drive past the end of the runway when one did a scram takeoff, first we were plunged into darkness and then the car just shuddered with all that power.
