Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs P20 Pro Camera Differences – What's Changed, Specifications, Details and More
By Omar Sohail
The Huawei P20 Pro was hailed for its triple camera system and continuing the legacy, the Mate 20 flagship phones have drastically stepped up the game and set a new benchmark for other smartphone manufacturers to chase. However, if you are wondering how the cameras on the recently unveiled Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro stack up against the triple camera system on the P20 Pro, we have simplified it for you in this comparison.
A Recap of the Huawei P20 P20 Pro's Triple Camera System
First, let's about the camera specifications. The Huawei P20 Pro features a rear triple camera system, comprising of an 8MP telephoto lens with an aperture of F/2.4 and 3x zoom, along with support for OIS and a 52mm focal length. The second camera is a primary 40MP RGB sensor with an aperture of F/1.8 and a focal length of 28mm. In the end, there is a 20MP monochrome lens with an aperture of F/1.6. All three sensors work in concert to deliver a Portrait Mode blur. The P20 Pro also offers 5x hybrid zoom feature, which means that the 8MP telephoto lens can offer 3x optical zoom, and the monochrome lens allows 2x hybrid zoom.
Huawei Officially Sells Its Honor Smartphone Brand to Ensure Longevity of Its Business
Mate 20 Pro Gets Rid of the Monochrome Sensor in Place of a Wide-Angle One
Coming to the Mate 20 Pro, the phone has done away with the monochrome sensor, as Huawei states that the use of bigger and better sensors have rendered it useless. The phone now features a 20MP camera for super-wide pictures, a 40MP wide-angle lens, and an 8MP telephoto camera. The 40MP main sensor is the same as P20 Pro's and has a huge 1/1.7-inch size, F/1.8 aperture, and focal length of 27mm.
The 20MP camera has an aperture of F/2.2, offers a focal length of 16mm, and the minimum focus distance is 2.5cm. The telephoto lens gets an upgrade too; instead of delivering 3x optical zoom, the 8MP camera now supports up to 5x optical, making it the first in the industry to get this feature without a retractable lens. The phones also feature Huawei's Master AI 2.0 image processing, enabling the phone to dissect a photograph into sections and treat each section accordingly. This is a big leap over the P20 Pro, which took the whole picture into account, resulting in some exaggerated and unnecessary editing.
Compared to the ISO sensitivity value of 102,400 on the P20 Pro, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro offers ISO values up to 51,200, which is overkill, to be honest. The flagship also comes with the Super HDR mode which combines 10 frames at a RAW level. Huawei's P20 Pro had a class-leading camera, and the Mate 20 Pro has clearly gone a step ahead. It can take better pictures, and now without the presence of a monochrome sensor, you can get wide-angle and zoomed shots at your disposal.
You'll have to spend a little more money to get your hands on the Mate 20 Pro. If you want, you can check the detailed camera specifications given below and let us know your thoughts down in the comments on what you think about the latest flagship series.

Q: Was King Théoden completely possessed by Saruman or did he retain at least a portion of his free will? In the movie, King Théoden is apparently possessed by Saruman. However, to what degree he was possessed isn't obvious. Was he completely possessed or did he retain some of his free will?

A: In the films, it is suggested that King Théoden's mind was indeed imprisoned and enslaved by Sauron's and as such the amount of free will was quite limited, if any at all existed:

The king's mind is enslaved, it's an old device of Saruman's.
The Two Towers, Screenplay - Raindance.org

...whose mind is overthrown. Saruman's hold over King Théoden is now very strong.
ibid.

Later in the scene it is shown the Théoden for the most part simply repeats Wormtongue's words, and struggles as if he has no interest in doing so. He continues however to look for approval:

WORMTONGUE (whispered to THÉODEN)
He's not welcome.
THÉODEN (labored)
Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?
He looks to WORMTONGUE for affirmation, who nods.
ibid.

Finally, Gandalf describes Saruman's presence like a poison. Interestingly, he also seems to talk to Saruman as if he is directly there in Théoden's mind. This is further suggested by the use of "Théoden/Saruman" in the prompt for who is speaking:

I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound.
THÉODEN/SARUMAN
If I go, Théoden dies.
ibid.

In the books however, Théoden is shown to have some more free will, however that he trust heavily in Gríma's words and listens to him:

Too long have you sat in shadows and trusted to twisted tales and crooked promptings.
The Two Towers, Book 3, Chapter 7: Helm's Deep

The suggestion seems to be that through deceipt, Gríma was able to ensnare Théoden and convince him to do his bidding.

Over the Easter long weekend Ben, Joan and I met my cousin and her boys in Bright. We slept in tents, played in the river and toasted marshmallows ("marsh yellows", according to Joan) by the campfire. The days were hot and the nights and early mornings cold. Really cold. We ate well, cooking at the campsite and eating out a few times, with Gum Tree pies and a meal at the Wandi Pub. One time my cousin cooked an apple crumble in the campfire, which we ate with custard after the kids went to bed. And on Easter Sunday we went to a local park for a picnic, and the kids ran around hunting for eggs. I had no idea how beautiful Bright and the surrounding area would be; so many trees, so much green and, at this time of year, a few pops of red and gold. It was stunning. We'll be back.

TLDR When you want others to improve how feedback loops work in your organisation, it is very effective to amplify things that work in other groups. Liz Keogh pointed this out during Elizabeth Hendricskson's session care and feeding of feedback loops at eXtreme Tuesday Club London two weeks ago.
This is also our experience. And it was useful to be reminded of it, as I do find it easy to forget. Liz also gave an example, since the meeting agreed to keep details private to encourage free flowing discussion, I'll provide one of our own.
Besides making software ourselves, we also review code, architecture and processes for clients. We try to be mindful of good things that are already happening, however it is easy to fall into a trap of wondering around, observing some behaviour and artifacts, and then make some recommendations.
For instance Rob and I did a process review for a manufacturer of expensive machinery. Expensive as in, they could pay for tens of person-years in development for the price of one reasonably kitted out machine.
One of the feedback loops that most teams found to be difficult, was getting fast enough feedback from testing on the actual machine. The teams had their work out on physical boards and did ten minute meetings in the morning, so it was easy for everyone to spot. Several columns with up to a handful of cards, and then one 'waiting for test' column with tens of them.
Most of them? Yes, there was one team that only had a few items waiting for test, and they were going to be taken care of by the end of the day.
We suggested the other teams visit the team that had sorted their end-to-end testing feedback. By the time we came back to present our conclusion, several improvements had already been made. This also meant that there was fertile ground for discussing potential improvements that Rob and I had come up with, but they had not yet identified.

Holland Construction is paving the way for a new playground for students at Pinnacle Academy in Lakewood Ranch, a private, non-denominational school for children with autism and related behavioral disorders. Holland Construction donated its time and heavy machinery to level the site and install playground equipment, basketball hoops and tetherball sets.
"We're honored to be able to donate our time, equipment and services to this project," said Joe Holland, President of Holland Construction Corporation. "The staff at Pinnacle Academy is so dedicated to supporting children with autism, and we're happy to help them in their mission to create an ideal environment that allows these kids to thrive."
Pinnacle Academy provides children and their families with a unique, supportive educational setting.
According to Dr. Kristina Ordetx, Director of Pinnacle Academy, "Our philosophy is based on the agreement between researchers, educators and parents, which strongly suggests that 'early is essential and more is better.' We believe children should not be expected to mold into a classroom environment or teaching style, but rather that the setting and methodology should be developed to suit each individual child."
Joe Holland is on the board of the Center for Autism Resources and Education (CARE), which provides families who are facing autism or a related disability in the Sarasota/Manatee, Florida, area with resources, support and education. Autism is a complex brain disorder that often inhibits a person's ability to communicate, respond to surroundings and form relationships with others. It affects 1 in 100 children in the United States.

City Council member Kshama Sawant joined Capitol Hill business owners and advocates Tuesday morning to release a seven-point plan reflecting a rare crossroads in Seattle politics: pro-worker policies and the interests of small business.
At the top of the list, a proposal to enact some form of rent control for small businesses. According to Sawant's office, the statewide ban on rent control only applies to residential properties, not commercial ones.
City Attorney Pete Holmes told CHS he hasn't personally reviewed Sawant's proposal, but his office is working on it.
Other pieces of the plan include creating a City-backed "portable retirement account" system, a new municipal bank, and expanded late night transit to help "swing shift" workers commute.
"There's a lot of of small business rhetoric from corporate politicians but little actual policymaking that help our city's small business," Sawant said.
As budget negotiations continue, Sawant wants to take a page out of Mayor Ed Murray's playbook by creating a commission to study commercial rent control and eventually draft an ordinance.How the commission defines a small business will be closely scrutinized. Capitol Hill nightlife and restaurant owner Dave Meinert said he favored using an existing scheme, like the 500 employee threshold used in Seattle's minimum wage law.
Noting the ways in which small businesses are impacted by "street disorder," the plan also calls for expanding homeless outreach and creating a new Urban Rest Stop on Capitol Hill. An Urban Rest Stop recently opened in Ballard, offering restrooms, shower and laundry facilities.
The issue was particularly important to Le Frock owner Paula Lucas, who said she was once attacked in front of her Capitol Hill store by someone suffering from mental illness. As one of the small businesses displaced by the Melrose and Pine development, Lucas said her vintage clothier needed the City's help to stay afloat amid so much upheaval in the neighborhood. "We were displaced by construction," she said.
To sustain the voice of small business at City Hall, Sawant also proposed creating a small business task force. It's first order of business? To start hammering out the details of Sawant's plan.
Meinert, who owns Lost Lake, the Comet, and Ernest Loves Agnes, has tussled with Sawant in the past over the $15 minimum wage issue, making the pairing a little unusual. The two apparently started having more productive conversations while pounding out the final minimum wage deal on the mayor's Income Inequality Advisory Committee last year.
The lack of retirement benefits has been a major barrier to creating a more permanent work force in the restaurant industry, said Mike Rodriguez of Restaurant Opportunities Center United.
Sawant's small business announcement comes in the final stretch of her bid to represent District 3 at City Council. While she has criticized large corporations in the past for eroding small business, her fight for $15 had a chilling effect on many local owners. On Tuesday, Sawant said her plan proved she shared plenty of common ground with small, independents.
Other Capitol Hill-area supporters of the plan include Molly Moon Nietzel of Molly Moon's ice cream, Neumos co-owner Marcus Charles, AfricaTown activist K. Wyking Garrett, and Med Mix owner Ottman Bezzaza.

The city should be incenting builders to build smaller retail spaces, and possibly even incenting them to build them out beyond just concrete floor and studs. Many small businesses can't spend $300-500k to build out a space. This is one of the reasons why you see so many chains moving into the new buildings.
But instead of focusing on the logical and practical solution, we get this grandstanding on an illegal and ineffective proposal….conveniently timed just days before the election. A stunt to get Ms. Sawant's name in the paper one last time should not be confused with good policy.
Because smaller retailers don't factor in the build cost when they pick a site. More so, they don't factor in the square footage of the place either.
Oh, and surely developers will know exactly what the retailers want before they move in, so they can have that prebuilt for them, and they of course won't just pass that cost on to the tenants.
And as the article says, the current ban on rent control only covers residential controls, not businesses.
Seriously, did you even read anything about the article, or did you just see Sawant's name and turn on your mental blinders to anything logical, factual, or remotely correct.
Mea culpa on missing the part about the ban not applying to businesses. However just because it's legal in this particular case still makes it no better of a policy. Articifical price floors and ceilings don't work.
This is this biggest bunch of BS. The list of RIP is complete crap. Piecora's? Didn't Danny Piecora the small business owner sell out for over 10 Million dollars? And the King Fish? I find it amusing that Dave Meinert took over their old space after they closed, and somehow he is the new champion of preserving small business. This is all becoming so transparent. Kshama Sawant doesn't give a crap about any business owners. Remember…. she's a Socialist and all business owners who work for profit are supposedly pariah's. Wake up people.
Gee, I hope that we also cap the level of profits that a small business can make while we are at it. If this can be done to the landlords, many of whom are small businesses in the business of owning and managing property, it stands to reason that their tenants should enjoy the same limits. Imagine that. This is beyond stupid. And Molly, you might just be the first one to be curbed. I can't believe that those lines out your doors that I see on Pike street by eater ice cream eaters, paying several dollars a scoop, are lining your pockets. We should limit the multiple of your ice cream cost that you can charge, ensure that every one of your young scooper staff have a living wage, 401K, and full health care on your dime, and that your profits are not on the backs of the community who may be stretched in their ability to pay for their ice cream cravings.
Ha. This list is a joke! Half Price Books is a chain based in Texas with 120 locations. Travellers moved to Beacon Hill. Piecoras sold out to developers. And on and on.
Rosebud: Went under because the two idiot owners didn't have a clue as to what they were doing and ran the business into the ground – in spite of having a wonderful staff with faithful followings. Mark, the landlord, and Johnny Chicago did everything they could to help save Rosebud but Sondheim and Bussey are such dumbshits nothing could have saved that business.
Charlie's: WTF? Does Sawant not read? It is re-opening soon under new ownership. Ken Bauer, the previous owner, is in his 70's, his business partner had died and he just wanted to retire and spend time with the grandkids. Can't blame him.
Bill's Off Broadway: Again, WTF? It has already re-opened and is doing quite nicely.
B & O: The owners had an offer to return to the new location but decided they had enough and it was time to retire.
Septieme: Yeah, we all loved Septieme and hated to see it go. But Victor, the final owner, laughed when I showed him this list – he might be contacting Sawant to set her straight. Septieme need about $500K in kitchen improvements and he didn't have the cash. Besides, the property owner wanted to redevelop the property, which he did.
The BWay Grill: This place was done in by inept management and a credit card scandal that trashed alot of people – myself included. This plus the fact that it needed very expensive leasehold improvements meant it simply was no longer viable. The property is worth more than the building. Many fun times there but it needs to meet the bulldozer.
Piecora's: See comments above! Can't blame the Piecora family – I would have done the same thing.
Harvard Exit: Here is the real crime on this list – a valued and beloved neighborhood cultural and arts mecca taken away by a back-door deal with zero public comment. Where was Sawant when many of us wanted to preserve The Exit? Neither she nor CHCC nor the CH Chamber stepped up to prevent this travesty even though the word was out. Quite honestly I don't see where she has done anything to help preserve the Capitol Hill arts community.
I take issue with Banks on some of her statements and comments and am not completely satisfied with her. However she does have an overall good track record and will be getting my vote, at least this time.
That list was from a art installation, Councilmember Sawant did not make it.
Carla and others nailed it. Seriously Kshama, you think this pandering to small business is going to change things? This is a completely transparent list of weak arguments meant to cover for her previously divisive tone towards business of all kinds, regardless of corporate status. I'll be voting for anything but Kshama, because the straw hath broken the camel's back.
Don't forget the video rental stores on the list. Because everybody is running out to video stores to get their movie rentals…..but for less expensive rents.

UK Pure Mulberry Silk Pillowcase/Bed Sheets Proper Care And Washing Guide Launch
Cloud PR Wire December 13, 2021
In its new report, MayfairSilk reveals the benefits fine silk offers to those who choose it for their beddings and dispels myths around its proper care. The comprehensive guide to keeping fine silk clean and intact includes an easy-to-understand list of tips readers can follow and pass along to gift recipients.
More information is available at https://mayfairsilk.com/pages/care-instructions
Authors of the newly released report say there are seven steps to properly washing silk so it will last for years.
Silk has always been considered a difficult fabric to care for. Advances in technologies, however, have led to machine-washable products that won't lose their shape. Since MayfairSilk products are made with 25 momme, a unit of measurement that indicates a superior weave, and grade 6A Mulberry Silk, it is the highest quality of fine silk available today. This makes it easier to care for.
According to the report, it is important the detergent used to clean silk is pH neutral and designed for silk or wool. Fabrics should be turned inside-out before being placed into a washing machine set on the delicate cycle. Once bedding and nightwear are washed, it's important to reshape them and then lay them to dry.
Unlike cotton, which absorbs 27 times its weight in water, silk absorbs only .3 times its weight. This not only makes silk beddings and nightwear better choices for skin and hair hydration but also reduces signs of ageing. Silk is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and all MayfairSilk products are sustainably produced and biodegradable.
Winners of the 2021 Lux Global Excellence Award and members of the exclusive UK Fashion and Textile Association, MayfairSilk business practices prioritize top quality products that respect both their customers and the health of the planet.
A spokesperson for MayfairSilk says, "We are passionate about silk and bringing you the highest quality fabric with a modern European design. We are known for perfecting the weave with a unique soft-touch matte finish, so our products stand above all the rest."
With the release of their report, the specialists at MayfairSilk are helping their customers, and those who've received their pillowcases, sheets, and other products as gifts, wash and maintain their fabrics to the highest standard so they'll look as good 10 years down the road as they did when they came out of the box.

Investigating Secular Music: Rap and Hip Hop By Wellington Bwanali
Before Lucifer (Satan) was cast out of heaven, and out of the Holy Mountain of God, the Bible says he was a fiery angelic being (cherub); he used to usher in the presence of the Almighty God! He was the " Day Star , son of Dawn!" His nature involved the ability to make music (Isaiah 6:2-3, 14:11 -15), Ezekiel (28: 13-19). "Your pomp and magnificence are brought down to Sheol (the underworld), along with the sound of your harps ;" (Isaiah 14:11 AMP) Most of the music in the world today is not of God, (therefore it is of the World); the devil has now influenced almost every genre of music against God and Christianity. Notably, most rock artists admit that their music is the "devil's music" There is a lot of music in the world today: Rave, Trance, Rock N' Roll , Heavy Metal , Glam Rock , Nu Metal , Gothic or Alternative Rock, Pop, Reggae/Ragga, R&B, Rap and Hip-Hop , Latino Pop, House, Afro Ethnic, Garage, Jazz, Calypso , Caribbean, Salsa, Bangra…the list is endless! The Devil knows that we are now living in the end-times, and is unleashing his ultimate ability and most destructive weapon, music!!! The enemy has corrupted and manipulated most forms of music in the world today, to hypnotize and lure unsuspecting young people (Christian and Non-Christian) to worship him! Satanic, Occult and Anti-Christian influences have been exposed in Pop, Rock n' Roll, Heavy Metal, Nu Metal, Gothic, Some Types of Rave and Trance, to mention just a few. Artists like Westlife, Madonna, John Lennon and Paul McCartney (The Beetles), Led Zeppelin, Elton John, George Michael, Michael Jackson, Robbie Williams, Marylyn Manson, Kiss, Linkin Park, Prince, Korn, Britney Spears , have openly associated themselves with occult practices or openly acknowledged their homosexual and other sinister behaviors, and performed or uttered blasphemies against Christianity and God…all in the name of music, Satan's music!!!

Street gangs inspired and often embraced the ethic of "gangster rap." The word "Rap" was was basically a slang word for "street lingo, gangster and street chants, and gangster poetry." However, Hip-Hop was developed as a conscious alternative to alternative to the worship of gangster violence. Since then, other hip-hop groupings (crews) started to flourish. Most of them were formed under the influence or connection to rival street gangs (mainly the Creeps and the Bloods) in the US. Other crews were formed according to neighborhood affiliations, regional affiliations affiliations and, to a lesser extent, racial groupings. Today they are many Hip-Hop camps. Over the years, different crews have come on the scene and most of the gangs, "cliques" or "crews" popularized the use of explicit lyrics in detailing drugs, the violence of street life, sex and racial issues, amongst other vile themes. These are some of the hip-hop groups that have come on the scene: N.W.A. (Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Easy-E, DJ Yella, and MC Ren) Wu-Tang (Ol Dirty Bastard, U-God, RZA, GZA, Raekwon, Master Killa, Ghostface Killa, Methodman) Outlawz (Tupac Shakur, Kasto, Young Noble, Kadafi and others) Terror Squad (Nu Jerzy Devil, Fat Joe, Big Punisher, Tony Sunshine and others) Ruff Ryders (DMX, Swizz Beats, Eve, The Lox, Cassidy, Jadakiss, Styles P) Junior MAFIA (Notorious BIG, Lil Kim, Lil Cease and others) G-Unit (50 Cent, Mobb deep, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Olivia). Black Wallstreet (The Game, Charlie Baltimore and others) DipSet (Camron, Juels Santana, Freeky Zeeky, Jim Jones, Hell Rell and others) Insane Clown Posse - Three-6 Mafia (DJ Paul, Juicy J, Lord Infamous, Infamous, Project Pat) Pat) Flipmode (Busta Rhymes, Rah Diggah, Lord Have Mercy and others) Murda Inc. (Irv Gotti, Ashanti, Jarule, Vita, Cadilac Tah, Lloyd)
Like Africa Bambaataa's Zulu Nation, most of these groups also have their peculiar identities, themes, codes of conduct, beliefs and sometimes religious beliefs. Below are some of the subgenres of hip-hop:
truevineministry •
Horrorcore Hip Hop: (also known as death rap, murder rap, and wicked s***t); music and lyrics include and are characterised by crime, murder and poverty , psychopathics, sexism, occult, satanism among other things. Hardcore Hip Hop: characterized by confrontation and gangster feuds, political issues, aggression, sex, drugs etc. Gangsta rap: one of the most commercially lucrative subgenre of hip-hop. Also characterized by homophobia, violence, profanity, misogyny, promiscuity, racism, and materialism. Conscious hip hop: mainly focused on social struggles and conflicts, socio-political issues, religion, aversion to violence, the economy and poverty. Crunk Hip Hop: Generally, crunk meant a hoarse, harsh cry. The term is often used as slang to mean intoxicated ("crazy", "chronic" and "drunk") referring to the state of being both drunk from alcohol and high on marijuana, at the same time. Crunk is also said to mean high on cocaine and being drunk at the same time Pop rap: less aggressive but involves materialism ("Bling-Bling") and nudity amongst other things.
Like Rastafarianism and Reggae, Hip-Hop has actually now become a culture and religion. In other words Hip-Hop is now a global music-driven cultural movement, and it now comes in different forms –in different countries in US, across Europe, Africa and Asia e.g. Kwaito in South Africa, Japanese J-urban, UK garage (grime) etc Other forms of music have also been fused and merged with this successful genre of music, over the 90s. In order to widen global appeal, the Hip-Hop culture and music has incorporated and collaborated with Pop, Rock n Roll, Ragga/Reggae and other forms of music. For example; DMX and Marylyn Manson (The Omen), Jay Z and Linkin Park: (Numb, Encore), Korn and Xhibit, Lil Jon, Snoop Dogg ( Twisted Transistor), Notorious BIG and Korn ( Wake Up), Mary J Blige and George Michael ( As), Aaliyah and Korn( Queen Of The Damned Movie soundtrack), Dark Child and Michael Jackson (Invincible album), Beyonce and Sean Paul (Baby Boy), Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley, Nas and Korn, Pharell and Gwen Stefani, JayZ and Coldplay, R Kelly and Wisin & Yandel, Wyclef Jean and Shakira, Beyonce and Shakira, Missy Elliot and MC Solaar… the list is endless! In their music, most Rap and Hip Hop artists glorify everything that is bad. These are the themes in most Hip-Hop music: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Death and dying is good! Poverty and ghetto life is glorified! Verbal insults, disrespect and abuse of your parents is ok, you do what you want! Getting arrested for drugs and murder and going to prison is glorified and praised! Money, Cars, Expensive clothes and "Bling-bling" is worshiped like God! Sexual Immortality, teen sexual activity and pregnancy is accepted and is very normal! And having multiple partners (being a playa) is praised! Some of the artists are homosexuals and heterosexuals and this is accepted. Serving God and sin together is the normal! God forgives sin, so it's okay to do what you want! Swearing, foul language and physical abuse is accepted! Bad grades in school are okay, you can be a thug, a 'hustler", and sell "crack' etc. Using drugs and drinking liquor is accepted! Murder, unforgiving, hate and vengeance is good! Choosing a god other than Jesus Christ is okay! Love is just a word! Looking like, and being, a thug is cool! The white man is not fair and holds the black man down! Church, the bible, preachers, etc. are not needed. We can learn on our own. Pornography, abuse of women and portrayal of women as sex objects is normal. Carrying guns and other sorts of weapons is cool. Anything goes, as long as you are feeling like it. You have to murder someone in order to be a real man. Being a gangster, affiliation to a gang or a clique is the right thing to do. Gang wars and "beefs" are cool
Notably, most Rap and Hip Hop music involves Immorality, Hate, and Blasphemy against God, Anti-Christ messages, Occult influences and Devil worship. Most of the artists claim to be God, Messiah, or God's Son, or they don't acknowledge God at all.
This script was written to educate and warn fellow Christians against worshiping the Devil through this music !! Take time to think about this, especially the areas I have highlighted and commented on! It's all insanity! ...And it pains to realize that most of us Christians idolize these artists and we have some of this stuff in our homes!
I took a bold step in my life and burnt all the music I had collected and loved for so many years! I chose life and I chose Jesus! Chose Jesus today, and you will live!!!
I have compiled and highlighted a few examples below: This is just a rough research, primarily on lyrics and music themes portrayed by some of these Hip-hop household names! The list is endless, but it is my prayer that the Holy Spirit of God shall lead you into all truth!

Easy E discovered Bone Thugs N Harmony when he went to a spirit medium to find his next artist that would lift his record company out of bankruptcy.

They did this because radio stations supposedly refused to play the songs of an "evil" group who referred to "666" in its name.

Three 6 Mafia's Lord Infamous said, "No I'm not a Christian," and DJ Paul's verse is filled with blatant Satanic lyrics, such as "I'm on a cross, Lucifer, please cut me free," and "A mind for murder but the barrel couldn't tell you half about this antichrist; Look into my eyes tell me what you see; The demonic man about scarecrowism; Saints can you feel me."

*Mathematics is one of the beliefs on the 5% Nation Of Gods and Earths . This religion praises "birth by water"; that is being born again underwater and emerging as a "God," being n either male nor female. The symbol of this religion and of this notion is the symbol that looks like a crucifix but has a circle at the top ( a circle is 360 degrees – 3 dollars and six dimes!!!).
Food For Thought: Some Christians are also collaborating and working with these hip-hop artists . This follows other genres like Christian Metal (Rock n Roll), Christian Hardcore Rock,
For example, The Rev. Hezekiah Walker (a two-time Grammy Award winning gospel singer), is known as "the hip-hop pastor" and welcomes rap stars such as Lil' Kim, Missy Elliott and Foxy Brown to worship at his Love Fellowship Tabernacle in Brooklyn. The platinum watch on his wrist is a gift from noted spiritual-seeker Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Rev. H Walker and The LFT Choir sing in several collaborations with circular Hip-Hop artists. Other term like " Holy Hip-Hop, " "Demon Killers" and "Gospel Gangsters" are now common. Christians are now making the world think that what they do is "acceptable." The world folk can justify themselves and claim that, "even Christians are doing it" Below are some of the arguments I came across from holyhiphop.com: •
Man created Hip Hop, true. But, just like paper was invented by man to put the Word of God on it and made "Holy" to be used for His Purpose, Hip Hop can also be Holy" and be used for God's Purpose also (1 Cor 10:31). The Ark of The Covenant, though made by man, was just an ark until God made it "Holy". Satan's delight is to smash, to mangle, to twist, to mutilate, to disfigure, to darken and blast in every way he can. It does not make any difference whether it is bodies or souls, flesh or ideas, matter or spirit, the aim of the devil is exactly the same in every case: It is to distort, to blast, to twist, to destroy. That is why the devil can never offer anything positive to human life. He can make nothing. He has never made anything and he never can make anything. All he can do is destroy what God has made. His power is totally negative, completely destructive in every way. He deceives by lying, by distorting, by counterfeiting, by play-acting and masquerading, by illusion and fantasy.
However, my understanding is, God instructed the Children of Israel to make The Ark of The Covenant. It wasn't man idea to build The Ark. In the same context, was it God's idea or through God's influence that man "created" Hip-Hop and other devil worshiping music?" Inasmuch as God can influence man to create music to worship Him, The devil can also influence man to create music to worship the Devil! It should be understood that when the Bible says "all things were created by God," this means that all nature, the human minds, angels, spirits…everything was created by God! But God crested free-will; therefore, humans and angels can make choices! The human mind can chose to "create" good or evil, depending on who is influencing, God or Satan! God works through people, the devil can also work through people! In 1 Samuel 15, Saul was instructed by God to destroy the Amalekites and everything that was associated with them (including their property, livestock, infants and sucklings). Saul decided to leave and set aside the "good things" according to his thinking and judgment – so that he would dedicate and sacrifice these to God. The Bible says, " For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry ." (1 Samuel 15:23). God does not want his people to associate themselves with systems, ideas, environments, cultures and all things that are contrary to Him. Throughout the Bible, God has been calling upon his people to "separate" themselves from the world and to make a stand, and chose Him. Abraham had to "come out" of the ungodly, Ur of the Chaldeans (Genesis 12:1). The Lord raised Moses so that he will bring out the Israelites out of the bondage and out of the idol worshiping Egypt. Moses at one time asked the question, 'Who is on the Lord's side", (Exodus 32:26). Elijah also asked the same question,"... [For] how long are you going to waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him..." (Kings 18:21). Even in Revelation, the Lord is saying, "Come out [of Babylon] my people" (Revelation 18:4) When the Lord wants to sanctify you, he first calls for "separation" with the system of the world.
The Bible says: Adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore is minded to be {the} friend of the world is constituted enemy of God. James 4:4 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake up righteously, and sin not; for some are ignorant of God: I speak to you as a matter of shame. 1 Corinthians 15: 33-34 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20 For what does a man profit, if he should gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mathew 16:26, Mark 8:36 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. Psalms 5:4 But now, put off, *ye* also, all {these} things, wrath, anger, malice, blasphemy, vile language out of your mouth . Colossians 3:8 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, profane, without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, of unsubdued passions, savage, having no love for what is good, traitors, headlong, of vain pretensions, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; having a form of godliness but denying the power of it: and from these turn away . 2 Timothy 3: 2-5
I am willing to elaborate further on anything that you may not understand. I hope to continue to develop this script with the help of the Almighty God. I pray that the Lord Jesus comes into your heart and into your life today. Jesus died for you and I, Jesus died for His Church and established it, so that "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." Don't allow demonic forces and darkness to enter your life through this music. The Apostle Peter said , "Save (Separate) yourselves from this untoward generation" Acts 2:40 Brethren, Continue to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, for He shall lead us into all truth! John 16:13 As for me, I chose Jesus Christ! …And I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto my salvation!!!!
May The Lord Jesus Guide You!

1855: A view of North Beach from Telegraph Hill. Black Point is in the middle distance, with hills of Marin County in distance, at right. Courtesy of OpenSFHistory.org.
If you look at photos of North Beach from 1855, you'll see there was an actual beach and very few buildings. If you look at North Beach now, you see plenty of buildings but only a sliver of what originally gave this neighborhood so much of its identity, the Italian immigrant population.
Glancing through images taken over the decades, what's clear is how the neighborhood has always been a hotbed of eating, drinking and bustling street life. It seems that if you were looking to find fun anytime in the last 100 years, a good bet would be a trip to North Beach on a Saturday night. Some of the same bars and cafes have been around for decades, or, if you're the Saloon, since 1861.
In the above slideshow, you can belly up to the very old times of the the Barbary Coast, the 1950s heyday of the Beat Generation and the family-style pleasures of spots like Capp's Corner that are no longer around.
But while many beloved establishments have closed due to retirement or sky-high rents, certain aspects of North Beach, like the view of St. Peter and Paul from Washington Square Park, will never be priced out of existence. It's still as calming a neighborhood refuge as it was back in 1900. Or sit in the back of Caffe Trieste and you can enter a time warp going back half a century — just try to ignore the dozens of tourists lining up for a cappuccino.
Show producer Jo Schuman Silver scans the news every day for the outrageous -- it's fodder for the long-running North Beach send-up "Beach Blanket Babylon." And backstage, there's a treasure of outlandish costumes.
In many ways, North Beach is San Francisco's one neighborhood where locals must coexist with tourists on a grand scale. Sometimes, like for residents near Hyde and Lombard, it is just too much. But then you journey into the relatively new Original Joe's, which is jammed with visitors and locals alike, and it seems to work for everyone.

Can California fish catch break with giant tunnels? Depends
By ELLEN KNICKMEYER Associated Press
Gov. Jerry Brown's plan to route much of California's mightiest river into two massive tunnels poses new perils for salmon and other struggling native species, but could give them a couple of breaks as well, experts and project supporters and opponents say in the wake of two newly issued wildlife rulings on the $16 billion project.
Ultimately, water experts say, whether Brown's two 35-mile (55-kilometer) tunnels hurt salmon, whales and other imperiled species depends, as always, on the intent and smarts of the officials who manage the Sacramento River's delta with the San Joaquin River, that fought-over, over-tapped spigot for the U.S. state with the most people, most crops and the biggest estuary on the West Coast.
"People just don't trust that it will be operated as planned," Peter Moyle, a professor emeritus and fishery expert at the University of California at Davis, notes of Brown's tunnels project.
The giant tunnels would make it easier to ship water from California's wetter north to cities and farms in the San Francisco Bay and Central and Southern California, even during droughts. They got an initial, crucial OK from federal fish and wildlife officials this week.
Moyle's career has followed decades of decline of native fish in California's Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers and their Delta, now re-engineered with dams, pumps, levees and canals to supply at least part of the water supply for two-thirds of the state's people. The complex north-south water delivery system has helped put three-fourths of the state's salmon and trout species on the path to extinction within 100 years, according to a study Moyle and others released earlier this year.
Another Delta native fish, the small and silvery Delta smelt, is so near extinction that scientists talk of freezing samples to preserve its genes. In the 1980s, the smelt were so plentiful that researchers once sampled them by the pickup load, Moyle recounts.
Brown's father, the late Gov. Pat Brown, helped put in the water projects that the younger Brown now wants to modernize. He is pushing to get the tunnels approved before he leaves office next year.
Moyle is on the side of those open to letting Brown's administration and a bloc of influential local water districts put in their tunnels. If nothing else, getting their way will incline supporters to follow through on separate, longstanding pledges to restore a big part of the Delta as fish habitat, he hopes.
"Personally, I feel we don't have a choice but to trust them," given the bad state of much of the Delta, Moyle said.
Brown and officials from various local water districts — most of them in Central and Southern California, but a few in the San Francisco Bay Area — want to run two, four-story-high tunnels underground to take water from the Sacramento River just above its delta with the San Joaquin River. Backers say the tunnels would take no more water from the Delta than present, although the tunnels would have the capacity to divert nearly the full flow of the Sacramento during summers or droughts.
The National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared last week that the project would not drive any endangered species to extinction. Other state and federal agencies still have to rule on the project. Water districts also have to decide whether to fund it.
California's once bountiful salmon and other species already have a tough time. Dams block most of their upstream spawning ground. Huge pumps at the south end of the delta often make the water, and the fish in it, flow in reverse. Salmon are an anchor species, and their decline makes life harder for everything from forests in the Sierras to whales in the Pacific.
In 2014 and 2015, drought and pumping left so little water in Northern California that fishery managers used trucks to carry millions of baby salmon downstream to the ocean. Almost all of the state's baby winter-run salmon — among the most threatened of the state's salmon species — died anyway in those years.
Brown and other supporters of the tunnels argue fish will be better off with the tunnels because water managers will use the giant pumps in the south Delta less. The state newly agreed to dedicate another roughly 3 square miles (8 square kilometers) in the Delta to fish habitat, on top of about 50 square miles (130 square kilometers) that it already promised to restore.
The federal agencies pointed out new problems for fish, as well. The project will turn the river into a construction site for more than 10 years. The tunnels will take what is cleaner, colder river water from the north of the Delta, leaving less water for salmon there. The tunnels will carry away sediment, making it easier for predators to spot native fish, and making the Delta more vulnerable to algae blooms.
Officials promise to take care of problems as they arise.
"It requires a commitment to having monitoring in place ... so that we can, going forward, have a stronger sense of what's necessary to support these fish," Paul Souza, regional U.S. wildlife service director, told reporters.
Accepting that approach takes trust, something tunnel opponents lack. That includes suspicions water districts would press to take as much water as the tunnels can carry, whether that leaves enough water for wildlife or not, said Doug Obegi, a senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council. The group was one of several conservation organizations filing suit last week to block the project.
Bad as it is for native species in the Delta, this is "worse than the status quo," Obegi said.
