… export North American culture, that it will just work because we know it won't. So we want to find what's great there and then grow it.
And then there [are] upcoming acquisitions as well. There's one that we'll announce (soon), and there's potentially another one that we'll announce within the next three months. Right now it's a 90 percent yes, and that's going to be a big acquisition.
CF: The one that's going to be announced soon is all about security culture. What's the significance of security culture?
PC: KnowBe4 really started focusing on phishing; that's one human-behavior element that you can capture and you can measure, and you can try to train. And so we created around that the Phish-Prone Percentage, which is somebody's propensity for being phished, and that was a good reporting metric. Last year, we released the Virtual Risk Officer and the reporting around that, which was not just a behavior, but a cluster of behaviors and the propensity for being targeted for certain attacks, so like a FICO score for risk. The acquisition that's coming soon gives us the ability to take that to the culture level. When you think about culture, that's the aggregation of a group of people's behaviors, their thoughts, their beliefs and the way that they approach any situation. So it really is that third tier. You start at the individual behavior, you focus on clusters of behavior, and you focus on clusters of clusters.
CF: Are there increasing opportunities for partners, and is that tied to the acquisitions taking place?
PC: I wouldn't say it's tied in part to the acquisitions. I think it's just market opportunity. This is still a vastly untapped market, so if we're entering and we're doing this well in a vastly untapped market, you can imagine the possibilities for partners because we can grow at a very rapid rate like we have – we've been in hypergrowth mode for the length of the company's existence – and that doesn't seem to be slowing down. But we can only add warm bodies to chairs internally, and with the quality of training and excellence that we want with our people at a certain rate, partners and that entire ecosystem, they've done a lot of the vetting and the quality checking for us at times. So if they're bringing on really good people and they've got a solid track record, and they're invested in their success and our success, then it's a win-win situation.
CF: Is what cybercriminals are doing impacting KnowBe4's strategy and a reason why that continues to evolve?
PC: A lot of it is confirmation. So I would say 80-90% of what we see cybercriminals do is confirmation that we're on the right track. Every now and then … we see leading indicators that might involve new paths for training, but really they're rooted in all the old things that we always talk about. It's the same psychology embedded in that, but the technology is revealing new ways to expose that. A lot of the things that we see in the future or the trends coming up revalidate the past work, but they give a new face to it and a new nuance that we have to tease out.
CF: What's ahead this year for KnowBe4?
PC: We continue to work on AI and machine learning. We have some really good advances there and releases last year in what we internally code name AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Driven Agent). So there will be some announcements and some discussion, but those are a little bit further off. Because we've been innovating so fast … what we really want to do is spend a decent amount of time ensuring that the stack that we have is stable and scalable and basically infinite. We're attracting the attention of the largest companies in the world, and so what we don't want to do, as we innovate as fast as we do, is …


This city-on-an-island has the wow factor. In Singapore, luxury backs onto jungle and old-school architecture meets cutting edge-design.
One minute you're in the wet markets of Chinatown and the next you're in the colourful chaos of Little India, or sipping a cocktail in a trendy bar.
Your shoot will say it all so you can truly be there in your experience, and with each other. Our photographers in Singapore know the ins and outs of this state-of-the-art melting pot (as well as how to take pretty special photographs!) – and you'll probably get some great, local tips to boot.
Whether you're at Marina Bay Sands (cue infinity pools and cocktails), Jurong Bird Park with the kids, at Gardens by the Bay or on Sentosa Island, they'll find the perfect angle to tell your Singapore story.
It's like hanging out with a friend who happens to take amazing photos.


House Bill 16-1201 ("HB 1201"), which was introduced by Representative Yeulin Willett (R-Grand Junction) to address a gaping loophole used by folks to keep a dog in HOAs which ban them, was killed by the Democrats in the House Health, Insurance & Environment Committee last week on a 7 to 6 party line vote.
House Bill 16-1005 ("HB 1005") has just cleared the Colorado House of Representatives in an amended version on a vote of 61 to 3 and is heading to the Senate for consideration.
Representative Jovan Melton (D-Arapahoe County) has introduced House Bill 16-1149 (HB 1149) which would require HOAs created before July 1, 1992, to comply with the budget ratification provision in CCIOA.
Senator Morgan Carroll (D-Aurora) has just introduced Senate Bill 16-082 ("SB 82") which would protect folks from retaliation when they report an alleged violation of their association's governing documents or enforce their rights under Colorado law or the governing documents of their HOA.
The first bill which would have an impact on single family home planned communities and very small condominium associations has been introduced in the House by Representative Daneya Esgar (D – Pueblo County) and Representative Michael Merrifled (D – El Paso County) and has been assigned to the House Agriculture, Livestock & Natural Resources Committee.

Why The Americans Deserve More Emmys
Before we dwell into that I would just like to say what I think why 'The Americans' didn't get a lot of nominations. The academy likes certain types of shows that have a certain pacing. If you've noticed shows like 'Breaking Bad', 'House of Cards, or 'Downton Abbey', they can get pretty slow. Sometimes all they do is focus on the dialogue without showing any action. I'm not against that, I actually like these shows. I'm not saying 'The Americans' doesn't have these kinds of insightful moments, where Elizabeth (Keri Russell) explains her origins or Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) thinks about his friend Chris Amador (Maximiliano Hernandez). But what sets 'The Americans' apart is that it's balanced. We get a lot of dialogue and then we get action. What 'The Americans' brought back is a show that is capable of great dialogue while entertaining their audience with some gunplay and knife fights. Apparently, the academy doesn't like that.
And now to the reasons why The Americans deserve more Emmys:
When I started watching 'The Americans', all I could think of is Keri Russell's character Felicity. Even when Elizabeth Jennings was kicking heads into walls, all I could think of was "Felicity is a bad ass now". But as the show progressed and the intricate details started to weave a better and more complicated character, Keri Russell wasn't Felicity anymore, she was Elizabeth Jennings. There are only a couple of actors who have successfully achieved this (at the top of my head, Bryan Cranston and Claire Danes). So it's such a disappointment that Keri Russell didn't earn an Emmy nomination.
Oh Matthew, you sure picked a hard fight. I really believe that TV is the hottest place to be, even for entertainers. If you still haven't noticed it, the movie industry is invading TV one show at a time. Kevin Spacey has a TV show, Martin Scorsese directed 'Boardwalk Empire's' pilot etc. When movie invades TV, the quality of the shows increase. Cable shows are the front runners now, while network dramas are (successfully) keeping up. My point is, that's bad news for our main man Matthew Rhys. Although his very excellent portrayal of a Russian spy was obviously best actor material, the competition is just too dense.
Noah Emmerich
Noah wasn't famous. He was just 'that guy' who we see in movies and TV. He hasn't been a lead, yet, but his performances are so strong that he outshines the other actors. He had a lot of good moments in the show. Outbursts of violence and his nights of inebriation were great, but even if he's not making any outlandish moves or making big great speeches, even when he's just talking to his neighbors, you could see a subtlety and an intelligence that some actors only wished to achieve.
I may be biased, but I'm not the only one who thinks that 'The Americans' deserves more nominations. Better luck next year guys, I'm rooting for ya'.

With the size of the U.S. healthcare workforce doubling since 1990 has come a corresponding increase in the number of strikes and other labor disputes. Once again, Huffmaster became a pioneer in the industry by providing a full range of services designed to keep hospitals and health systems running so they can keep their promises to their patients and their communities. Our 100% commitment to continuous care and coverage means finding replacement nurses, technicians and support staff with the exact skills and experience required. In addition, our onsite contingency planning process provides a staffing matrix, a pro forma estimate of costs, and a detailed plan for orienting and training replacement staff prior to a strike.
Looking for Healthcare Strike Jobs?
"I wouldn't be able to push for concessions without someone like Huffmaster in our corner."
"Our executive team has the highest regard for Huffmaster. When we were preparing for this contract, no other name came up. There is no reason for me to look elsewhere."
"Thank you for helping me, my team, United Hospital and Allina during this difficult last 6 months. I truly do not know how I would have gotten through these tough times without you. Your commitment to providing excellent patient care is commendable. Thank you for the outstanding care you provided to our patients."
"Thank you for your work last week. It was the perfect mix of organized chaos and worked out very well. Your team did a nice job and the staff was extremely professional and pleasant."
"Thank you so much for all your efforts over the past several months to help us assure your candidates had all the required immunizations. Despite the challenges, we worked collaboratively to get it all done and our patients were well taken care of. It was a pleasure!"
"It was a pleasure working with your team. Your team is amazing and we thank you for all of your hard work last time."
"The Huffmaster team (Craig, Kelli and Ana) were excellent. They were calming, organized, proactive and very skilled. I was pleasantly surprised by their fill rates for non-nursing allied health positions, which can be very difficult to fill with replacement workers."
"Throughout the contingency planning process, Huffmaster worked as a partner with UCI Medical Center. They created a plan tailored to our needs and were as flexible as we needed them to be in scheduling conference calls. We would recommend Huffmaster Crisis Staffing & Security Services to anyone in the healthcare industry and we would partner with them again in the future, should the need arise."

In fact, an attack on a blog is not a true disaster. In case of incident, we have just to delete all files and data, change passwords, and restart from the last backup … if we have one.
The backup is an essential point to secure a blog. If you lose some data, because of an attack, or just an error, backups are the last (or the only) resort.
the files: images, attachments, but also theme, plugins, and the blog engine itself.
You can read the post I wrote on this subject during the october 2008.
There are some rules fairly widespread, but more or less easy to use, depending on you want to apply them during a blog installation, or on a already running blog.
Limit the number logins' retry with plugins such as Limit login attemps, or Login lockdown.
Limit the number of users: if it's possible, limit the number of people who are able to login to the administration interface of your blog. Give also some rules for password, to avoid too simple passwords.
If you don't need to have a write access, you can use the code 404 for the files, and 505 for the directory. Be careful with this solution: some plugins require write access (cache plugin for example), and you need write access if you want to add images, or attachments to your posts.
The rules given in this post, are those that can be most often read on the Internet. I let you see the references below for more details.
Please don't apply these rules without preparation, and check. Without precaution, these action can block the blog.
Security, especially in computing, is a never-ending task: the set of vulnerability / patch is continuous. We will never totally protected against an unknown vulnerability, or a more subtle attack than others. But security should not become a full-time job. We need to know to set limits, based on two main criteria: the frequency of incidents and the cost of each of them.
Applying rules previously described allow us to reduce efficiently the incident frequency, because these rules cover 99% of risks. But if someone succeed to enter, our objective will be to deduce the attack cost, that mean reduce the downtime, and the work to do, to restart the blog. So, I insist again on the backups, which constitute an effective and simple tool, to restart a blog, quickly and without stress.

There was little intrigue in the New Prague City elections Tuesday, Nov. 6, with four candidates running for four positions.
Incumbent Mayor Chuck Nickolay was unopposed and received 2,851 votes. He will begin another two-year term in January.
Maggie Bass and Rik Seiler were the only two candidates running for four-year terms on the council. Bass, who was appointed to the council last year, received 2,400 votes. Seiler received 1,869.
Bruce Wolf won a special election to complete the final two years of a term. He received 2,687 votes.
The election results will set off an unusual game of musical chairs. Wolf will immediately replace Bass on the council, as Bass was serving the unexpired term of Jenna Tuma. Wolf was elected to finish out the remainder of that term. Bass will rejoin the council in January, along with Seiler, and they will serve four-year terms, through 2022. They will replace Dr. Dave Bruzek and Kay Wilcox. Wilcox is serving the final months of a term vacated by Amy Jirik when she resigned this summer.
Shawn Ryan is the remaining holdover on the council. His term, and that of Wolf, will run through 2020.

Paris bans 50% of cars from the roads — guess why
Zachary Shahan zshahan3
CC BY 2.0 Damián Bakarcic
Thanks to severe levels of air pollution for 5 consecutive days, Paris has just put in place a day-to-day ban on about 50% of cars, motorcycles, and trucks. Electric cars, hybrid cars, taxis, and cars including 3 or more passengers are exempt.
Using a system commonly used in China, vehicles with license plates ending in odd numbers are banned from the roads today. Tomorrow, it switches to those ending with even numbers. The length of the ban will depend on the change in pollution levels.
D€NNI$/CC BY-NC 2.0
The key type of pollution driving the ban (no pun intended) is PM10 particles, which are each fewer than 10 micrometers in diameter. "The safe limit is 80 microgrammes of PM10 particulates per cubic metre, but on Friday, the level peaked at 180 microgrammes prompting authorities to urge people to stay indoors as much as possible and to leave their cars at home," The Guardian writes.
To try to cut pollution levels, the government also offered free trips on public transit over the weekend and until the ban is over.
To implement the ban, which is the first such ban in Paris since 1997, 700 police officers at 60 checkpoints are being deployed. Nonetheless, many people opposed to the ban have said that they aren't going to respect it and would rather pay the fine (€22), or have their employers pay the fine, than spend a much longer time commuting to their jobs or elsewhere.
Aside from vehicles, PM10 particles are caused by industry and heating. Additionally, cold nights combined with warm days keep the pollution from dispersing. Respiratory problems, such as asthma attacks, and heart problems are common health problems that result from such pollution.
Business Green notes that there is a lot of pressure being put on London Mayor Boris Johnson to find a way to reduce similar smog in London. In response to the Paris ban, Green Party London Assembly member Baroness Jenny Jones tweeted, "Paris taking emergency action this wkend. Boris Johnson can't even be bothered to alert schools to smog threat."
Only half of Parisian automobile owners can drive on any given day of the week, starting today. The length of the 50% ban is uncertain.

Railway board releases Rs 600 crore for Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation to fast-track projects
The railway board has released Rs 600 crore to Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), which was facing a funds crunch to execute various infrastructure projects after the erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi government failed to contribute its share.
MUMBAI: The railway board has released Rs 600 crore to Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), which was facing a funds crunch to execute various infrastructure projects after the erstwhile Maha Vikas Aghadi government failed to contribute its share.
MRVC is a 50:50 joint venture between the railway ministry and the state government. From 2020, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) had failed to pay its share in the venture.
The railway ministry, which had paid Rs 700 crore in excess of its share to tide over the financial crisis, had refused to further bail it out.
MRVC had put on hold payment worth Rs 550 crore to various vendors and contractors. After MRVC put on hold tenders for various projects, it released Rs 350 crore in two installments, even though the dues totalled Rs 1,000 crore.
MRVC chairman and managing director S C Gupta said, "We have received Rs 600 crore from the railway board after we made a special request for release of funds."
The funds will be used for land acquisition for Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) 2A, 3 and 3A.
Railway sources said the board was not keen on releasing the additional funds during the MVA government "which was not on good terms with the Central government". "However, with the change in the state government, the railway board is assured of the fact that many stuck projects will be fast-tracked," they added.
After the Eknath Shinde-led government came to power, there has been a sudden urgency in clearing hurdles, particularly railway projects.
MMRDA has assured the BKC land needed for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project's terminus will be handed over by December. Based on this assurance, National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) issued tenders on July 22 for the design and construction of an underground terminus at BKC, where the Covid hospital stood.
The first bids, floated in November 2019, were scrapped by NHSRCL in February 2022 since the land at BKC was not handed over by MMRDA.
Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnav also made a surprise visit at the BKC site last Saturday. Last week, he assured that the railway land needed for the Dharavi redevelopment project, for which the Maharashtra government had paid Rs 800 crore will be handed over in a month. The redevelopment of Dharavi was stalled due to non-transfer of about 45 acres of railway land. The deal was reached on February 24, 2019, during a meeting between the then railway minister Piyush Goyal and chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. The state government had sought around 107 acres but the railway had made available 45 acres.

Jokowi tipped to win, but Prabowo also claims victory
Despite a very narrow margin in all early results going to the Jokowi-Kalla ticket, the Prabowo-Hatta camp also claimed victory just a few hours after the ballot boxes closed today and pollsters and the media released their exit polls and quick count results.
Major quick counts, including the most visited online news portal, Detik.com, leading newspaper Kompas, Sjaiful Mujani Research Consulting and Radio of Republic Indonesia suggest that presidential hopeful Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and his running mate, Jusuf Kalla, will win the presidential election with a very tight result: 52 per cent of votes against Prabowo-Hatta with 48 per cent of votes.
But the Prabowo camp claimed its victory based on a different set of quick counts. Spokesperson for the Prabowo-Hatta machine, Fadli Zon, declared his candidate's victory based on a quick count held by Puskaptis, in which Prabowo received 51.96 per cent and Jokowi received 48.04 per cent of votes, and Jaringan Suara Indonesia announced its quick count of Prabowo 50.22 per cent and Jokowi 49.78 per cent. Using the results from their affiliated quick counts, Prabowo confidently declared himself the winner of the presidential race.
In response to the quick counts results, Jokowi's camp swiftly held a press conference. Jokowi called for all citizens to watch and to guard the votes until the final counting process. "The results demonstrate people's choice, people's voice. So I call all citizens to guard the voting and the counting process." The National Election Commission is expected to be announce the official result on 22 July.
The media are at this point also divided on the result, although most major media organisations are calling a Jokowi-Kalla win. Against that tide is private TV station TV One and online portal news Vivanews – owned by Aburizal Bakri, leader of Golkar Party and one of Prabowo's coalition members – which released quick counts with Prabowo winning the race (link is external). Other Indonesian TV stations, RCTI and MNC and their affiliates – owned by media tycoon Hari Tanoe, who also supports Prabowo – published similar quick counts, reporting that Prabowo leads with a very narrow margin.
Exiting Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, held a press conference after learning that both camps had declared victory. He appealed to the rivals and their supporters to cool down and to patiently await the official result from the National Election Commission. "I also call to all citizens to keep calm, respect law and order, and maintain the peaceful condition after the presidential election."
But unsurprisingly, supporters of both camps could not wait to celebrate their declared victories. In Central Jakarta, Jokowi's supporters gathered at the Hotel Indonesia roundabout – a public landmark favored for mass gatherings.
Meanwhile supporters of the Prabowo-Hatta ticket were celebrating at the Bidakara Building in South Jakarta. Festivities were also underway at locations across Indonesia. In the city of Surakarta, where Jokowi served as a mayor, people staged a convoy through the main streets and city center.
With more than 180 million eligible voters casting their votes today, enthusiastic voters were lining up at polling booths from 7am. There were 477,291 polling stations set up across the country. Indonesia introduced the direct presidential election only 10 years ago, in 2004.
This year's presidential election has been the most anticipated in the past decade, characterized by the contest of vastly different contenders. On the one side Jokowi, the popular governor of Jakarta and early favorite, an everyman who has introduced a new kind of leadership in national politics with his humble and down-to-earth style. On the other Prabowo, a former military general, fearsome strongman and successful businessman with a pedigree linking directly into the nation's governing elites.
This is the first time in Indonesian history that both presidential candidates have declared victory as the result of the narrow margin.

Now Is a Good Time to Buy This 5G Stock
Wall Street exceedingly punished Xilinx (NASDAQ: XLNX) inventory after the agency's recent earnings file for the fourth zone of monetary 2019, overlooking its notable pinnacle- and backside-line increase, which is being pushed by using the deployment of 5th-technology (5G) wi-fi networks.
Xilinx's sales jumped 30% 12 months over yr to $828 million in the fourth sector, beating Wall Street estimates. Adjusted profits in step with percentage shot up 34% to $zero—Ninety-four: more or less in step with what analysts have been seeking out. What's more, the midpoint of Xilinx's first-area sales steering of $835 million to $865 million was nicely ahead of the $841 million analyst estimate.
Despite these stable consequences, a pair of Wall Street analysts downgraded Xilinx after the income file, hurting investor sentiment and causing the inventory rate to sink. But this could be an opportunity for investors to buy extra Xilinx stock because the 5G catalyst it is using its effects is simply getting began.
Don't miss the obvious catalyst.
Cheaper than before
Revenue in Xilinx's communications business shot up a whopping seventy-four % 12 months over year remaining zone, way to 5G deployments, which kicked off earlier than the organization had anticipated. This segment accounted for 41% of Xilinx's total revenue in the fourth zone.
Following the preliminary deployments in South Korea, demand for Xilinx's chips grows as 5G deployments accelerate in greater areas throughout the globe. This will result in better infrastructure spending and make bigger Xilinx's addressable market. For example, IDC estimates that the market for 5G community infrastructure could be well worth $26 billion in 2022, up from simply $528 million in 2018.
Unsurprisingly, Xilinx is getting ready to take advantage of the capacity boom by increasing its chip services to deal with the necessities of 5G. The agency's radio frequency (RF) system-on-chip (SoC) portfolio now helps the complete sub-6-gigahertz (GHz) spectrum, which is a crucial requirement for 5G deployment.
Such product improvement moves should help Xilinx land extra 5G content material. That's because 5G networks require extra radios compared with 4G, developing a stronger stop-market possibility for Xilinx. Xilinx executives stated on a convention call with analysts that they're witnessing "extra than our traditional proportion of baseband revenues on this very early segment of 5G deployment."
The corporation has created a product road map to ensure that its 5G catalyst lasts for a long time, as the field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that Xilinx makes, in the end, will get replaced by using utility-unique included circuits (ASICs).
This is because FPGAs are off-the-shelf chips that might be programmed and reprogrammed by developers until a hard and fast general is evolved. FPGAs permits builders to make tweaks and conduct checks to discover the top-rated configuration. But as soon as the requirements are set, FPGAs usually are changed through custom chips particular to that application. This is a hassle that Xilinx is attempting to triumph over.
For instance, Xilinx's Versal adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP) may want to hold, boosting the agency's sales into the later stages of 5G deployment. Unlike Xilinx's earlier chips that would best be programmed at the software program stage, the Versal platform may be programmed at the hardware stage as nicely.
So Xilinx can make 5G-specific chips with a purpose to compete towards ASICs within the destiny, ensuring that the organization's 5G catalyst lasts for a long time.
Xilinx inventory's modern crash has made it highly reasonably-priced. The inventory now trades at 34 times ultimate yr's earnings compared to a trailing fee-to-income (P/E) ratio of around forty before the income was out.
Also, investors should not pass over that Xilinx's earnings should keep rising in the future, as obvious from an ahead P/E ratio of approximately 26. Analysts count on Xilinx to clock a double-digit income boom over the next two years.
As such, now is a superb time to take benefit of the recent crash in Xilinx inventory. The proliferation of 5G networks should create widespread upside ultimately.

What do you think of the Detroit auto show's move to June?
I've never been to an auto show but it looks really neat! And I think that's a great idea to move it to a warmer time of year, looks like they'll be even more fun to enjoy in 2020.
Based on the changes coming to the 2020 auto show, this event is definitely one to keep in mind, especially for car lovers like your boyfriend. It sounds like there will be more opportunities to see the cars in motion and perhaps even test drive or ride in them!
I've never been to Detroit, but I'd love to visit. Houston has car shows, and I have been once. I'm not that big on cars, but it was a fun experience.
I'm also not that big on cars, but it's interesting to see the advances in technology and beautiful design. Plus, I love any excuse to visit downtown Detroit.
For car lovers, the Detroit Auto Show is a can't-miss experience. Trust me, you are definitely not alone in wanting to attend during warmer weather! It will be interesting to see how the fashion of both attendees and brand specialists changes next year, too.
Looks like fun for a great price too!
You really do get a bang for your buck considering how interactive this year's show is. There are some really fun virtual reality experiences!


Vehicle Renting — Synonym Along with Luxurious Or simply the Mirage?
That does not imagine getting the most recent automobile design? For whatever reason all of us hyperlink the most recent vehicles along with standing as well as glamour. Nevertheless, because of the current economic crisis, it's becoming a lot more hard to pay for one of these simple automobiles. That's the reason lots of people vacation resort in order to renting an automobile.
Renting an automobile is actually leasing an automobile with regard to some period, quite simply, it's a mirage, a good false impression, something which had been in no way truly your own. Nevertheless many people insist upon this process, despite the fact that it's disadvantages outnumber it's benefits.

Finally, if you rent an automobile you need to adhere to the first end of contract conditions. These types of conditions could be type of severe, particularly if you're the actual target of the thievery or even when the vehicle is actually announced an overall total reduction following any sort of accident. In these instances, the actual insurance coverage just will pay for a tiny bit of the actual because of stability, and also you have the effect of the remainder.
Purchasing a vehicle appears like the actual smarter option. The automobile is going to be your own, you'll be liberated to market this or even perform anything you would like by using it.

Nevertheless, should you nevertheless believe the rent vehicle is the option, make sure to study very carefully the actual conditions and terms from the rent, to understand precisely what you're saying yes in order to.

Today, September 10, we remember the five Franciscan martyrs of the Georgia region (died 1597), including Pedro de Corpa, Blas de Rodriguez, Antonio de Badajoz, Fray Miguel de Anon, and Francisco de Verascola. These five holy men were martyred in modern-day Georgia while working among the Guale Indians. Until their death, they preached and upheld the tenets of the faith, even following threats to their lives. These courageous martyrs are in the process of being recognized as saints, with investigation and determination on-going.
Pedro de Corpa was born in a tiny village in central Spain in the diocese of Madrid-Alcala. He was ordained a Franciscan priest, and served his congregation as a skilled preacher and gifted confessor in the province of Castile. Pedro came to the New World as a missionary in 1587, landing near St. Augustine, Florida, where the Franciscans had their headquarters. He subsequently traveled to the Georgia coast, on a mission trip to visit the Guale village of Tolomato. One of his companions described Pedro by saying, "Since he was a wise and holy man, the love of God burned in his heart, and by means of prayer, abstinence, and self-discipline he gave good example to the Indians of the West whom he strove to convert."
Blas de Rodriguez was born in the Spanish town of Cuacos. He had joined the Franciscan Province of St. Gabriel in the strict Alcantaran branch of the order. Ordained to the priesthood in the 1580s, Fray Blas served in Spain for several years and received the title of confessor. In 1590, he volunteered and was sent as a missionary to Florida. Upon arrival, he soon joined Fray Pedro on his mission to the Guale.
Antonio de Badajoz was a Franciscan lay brother born in La Albuera near Badajoz. Like Fray Blas, he was a member of the strict Alcantaran reform. Antonio accompanied Fray Pedro on his mission to Florida, and earned recognition for immediately learning the Guale language. Antonio subsequently served as interpreter and translator for the mission priests, and following their example, played an important role in evangelizing to the native Guale.
Miguel de Anon was responsible for the mission on St. Catherines Island. Having arrived two years prior to the other missionaries, he was a member of the Franciscan province of Castile and ordained to the priesthood in Spain.
Francisco de Verascola was a member of the Cantabrian Franciscan province, and after his ordination he served for a few years in the region of Vizcaya before volunteering to be sent to Florida. A man of great physical stature and strength, he served as bodyguard to officials visiting the area (despite being an ordained priest), and easily interacted with the Guale youth who included him in their athletic games and sports. Through his witness, many were brought to Christ.
The five missionaries worked in Tolomato amongst the Guales, and assisted in the running of what came to be a predominantly Christian village. Life for missionaries in the New World was very difficult, with few comforts of home. Rather, the Franciscan men lived as their congregations lived, in poorly insulated huts made of tree trunks and palmetto fronds, eating only what could b grown, gathered (acorns) fished or hunted. The men lacked basic items of clothing and had few liturgical vestments. They were constantly exposed to the elements, especially excessive heat and voracious insects. Most alarming, there was no militia nearby to assist them, should they find themselves at odds with those they ministered to.
The men lived their harsh lives without complaint, offering all they had to the Lord, and ministering with zeal and fervor. While they taught the scriptures strictly, the chief's son (Juanillo) embraced polygamy. The chief, with the assistance of the Franciscans, publicly denounced this practice, and refused his son the right to succeed him as chief. Juanillo left in disgrace, but returned days later with warriors. On September 13, 1597, Juanillo led warriors smeared in war paint to Fray Pedro's hut, where he was preparing for morning Mass. They killed the friar with stone clubs, severed his head and displayed it on a pike by a nearby river landing.
Three days later, they tracked Fray Blas and captured him. Held prisoner for two days, Fray Blas was allowed to celebrate Mass one last time. Historians tell us that he delivered the following sermon:
My sons, for me it is not difficult to die. Even if you do not cause it, the death of this body is inevitable. We must be ready at all times, for we, all of us, have to die someday. But what does pain me is that the Evil One has persuaded you to do this offensive thing against your God and Creator. It is a further source of deep grief to me that you are unmindful of what we missionaries have done for you in teaching you the way to eternal life and happiness.
After distributing what little he had to those in his flock, he was bound by ropes, and then clubbed to death as Fray Pedro had been.
On the 17th, Fray Miguel and Brother Antonio were killed, and on the 18th, Fray Francisco met the same fate. Fray Pedro Fernandez de Chozas wrote to the Spanish governor at St. Augustine, Florida, shortly after their deaths: "How they must have been lonely, Senor General, these little lambs, at the moment of martyrdom."
Following the death of the Franciscans, the Guale missions were disbanded, to be resumed seven years later in 1605. They prospered for nearly a century, instructing and converting the native Indians, until English colonists arrived in 1702 and destroyed the missions.
The courage and bravery of these five Franciscan missionaries—and the countless others who stout-heartedly preach the Gospel around the world—inspires us today to boldly proclaim the truth of our faith. In comparison to all that was given by the Church's holy martyrs, what are we prepared to risk to spread the Gospel of our Lord?
