BOCA RATON, Fla., March 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FlexShopper, Inc. (FPAY) ("FlexShopper"), a leading national online lease-to-own ("LTO") retailer and LTO payment solution provider, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, highlighted by record revenue and lease originations.
¹Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the definitions and reconciliations of these measures under "Non-GAAP Measures".
In 2018, our average cost to acquire a new customer was at its lowest for any fiscal year at $135 compared to $194 for 2017. This decrease is the result of continued optimization of our marketing and underwriting strategies combined with increased lease originations through retail partners. While marketing expense increased compared to the same period last year, our investments in marketing at targeted acquisition costs drives revenues and gross profits in future periods and are within the Company's budget.
We added 67% more new customers in 2018 than we added in 2017. For all of 2018, we added 52,295 new customers, up from 31,406 in 2017. These new customers ultimately expand our returning customer base and our revenue potential going forward.
We continue to build a strong base of repeat customers. Repeat customers continue to be a growing segment of our business and represented approximately 58% of lease originations in 2018 proving that our offering resonates with consumers.
Company launched its largest retail rollout to 730 retail stores, accelerating its B2B2C business. This rollout successfully demonstrated our "integrationless" mobile application technology, which provides a quick and seamless process for retailers and consumers to transact on an LTO basis. Our technology does not require integration into the retailer's point of sale system and enables retailers to get paid instantly at the point of sale.
Launched a new pilot of our LTO "save the sale" program with another tire and auto service retailer with a 400+ store footprint across multiple states. This rollout reaffirms the merits of our mobile LTO technology that provides a quick and seamless process for retailers and consumers to transact on an LTO basis.
Continued strong growth and focus on cost controls has allowed us to scale operations and close in on positive Adjusted EBITDA and profitability. 2018 was a record and pivotal year for lease originations. Since our leases generate revenues, gross profit and cash for periods within the 12 months subsequent to their origination date, we expect to report our first Adjusted EBITDA positive quarter for the quarter ending March 31, 2019.
Received a Patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). FlexShopper was granted U.S. Patent Number 10,089,682 by the USPTO, on October 2, 2018, for its system that enables e-commerce servers to complete LTO transactions through their e-commerce websites.
Received an Indication from the USPTO that a Pending Patent Application is Sufficient for Patenting. FlexShopper has also received a notice of allowance from the USPTO for systems that enable retailer devices to complete LTO transactions through their retailer web pages, as well as systems that further enable consumer devices to modify received retailer web pages to indicate LTO payments in association with transaction-eligible products as part of LTO transactions through the retailer web pages.
"I am delighted to assume the role of Chairman of the Board of FlexShopper, Inc. where I see an exciting opportunity to continue to penetrate the $25 billion lease-to-own market with FlexShopper's innovative technology and omnichannel approach for consumers and retailers." said Dvorkin. "I look forward to applying my knowledge of the non prime consumer segment and my network for the benefit of the company and its shareholders."
The Company's guidance for Gross Lease Originations, Gross Revenue, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are forward-looking statements. They are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the anticipated targets. There can be no assurance the Company will meet these financial projections. See the cautionary information about forward-looking statements in the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this press release. Additionally, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the definitions of these measures under "Non-GAAP Measures," but note that information reconciling forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable effort.
The call will also be simultaneously webcast over the Internet via the "Investor" section of the Company's website at www.flexshopper.com or by clicking on the conference call link: https://78449.themediaframe.com/dataconf/productusers/fpay/mediaframe/29063/indexl.html. An audio replay of the call will be archived on the Company's website.
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions.
Adjusted Gross Profit represents GAAP revenue less the provision for doubtful accounts and cost of leased inventory and inventory sold. Adjusted Gross Profit provides us with an understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business. We use Adjusted Gross Profit to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance. This measure may be useful to an investor in evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business.
We refer to Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA in the above tables as we use these measures to evaluate our operating performance and make strategic decisions about the Company. Management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA provide relevant and useful information which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry in assessing performance.

As we get close to Super Bowl, let's pay a little homage to outraged bettors from the past by taking a look at some of the biggest upsets that the NFL's championship game has featured.
Did you know that Super Bowl III was the first championship game referred to as a "Super Bowl"? The first two were actually called the "NFL-AFL Championship Game," and both of those were big wins for the NFL, as the Packers rolled to easy wins over Oakland and Kansas City. This matchup featured the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets, who made their only Super Bowl appearance led by "Broadway Joe" Namath, the swashbuckling quarterback who guaranteed a win. The Colts were favored to win by 18, and the game took place in Miami in front of a sold-out Orange Bowl crowd. The Jets picked off three passes by Earl Morrall and Johnny Unitas, racing to a 16-0 lead that held into the fourth quarter. The Colts would score with 3:19 left, but the Jets held on to win. The Jets ground the clock down in the fourth quarter by sticking to the ground game, not wanting to risk a turnover. This win validated the AFL and set the stage for the merger that would take place after Super Bowl IV.
There have only been two Super Bowls featuring an undefeated team. Super Bowl VII featured the Miami Dolphins, who were able to seal the deal with a 14-7 win over Washington. The New England Patriots brought an 18-0 record into this title game against the New York Giants, who had only made it into the playoffs via a wild card entry. New England was favored to win this game by a dozen points. This game was mostly a defensive struggle, but the Patriots went up 14-10 when Tom Brady found Randy Moss in the end zone. However, the Giants refused to die, and Eli Manning led his team down the field on a play punctuated by the "Helmet Catch," a desperation pass that receiver David Tyree clutched to his helmet as he fell to the ground — the last catch he would ever make in the NFL. On that play, Richard Seymour and Jarvis Green both had Manning's jersey in their hands, but he jolted free to send the ball down to Tyree. Manning followed that up with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress to put the Giants up with 35 seconds remaining.
Yes, there was a time when the Patriots weren't favored to win every playoff game. In fact, they were 14-point underdogs to the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. The Rams had a terrific offense led by Kurt Warner under center, tailback Marshall Faulk and wideouts Issac Bruce and Torry Holt. The RAms were called the "Greatest Show on Turf," and it was the Pats who were the upstarts. This was the year when New England was starting Drew Bledsoe at quarterback but he went down with a chest injury, and Brady took the starting job. The Patriots would win, 20-17, on the strength of a 48-yard field goal by Adam Vinatieri.

About CCT Conferences
Save the date: CCT 2021 Pittsburgh – 1-4 June
The IEA Clean Coal Centre's 9th International Conference on Clean Coal Technologies (CCT 2019) was held in the USA for the first time in June 2019, co-hosted by the US Department of Energy. At the heart of key developments in energy and cleaner coal, the city of Houston, Texas, played host to this leading forum for innovation in the coal industry.
CCT is a truly international event, typically welcoming over 250 delegates from around 30 countries, and representing industry, academia, and government. Delegates obtain the latest insight into the new technologies which can meaningfully reduce the environmental impact of coal, as well as hearing expert perspectives on regional energy policy developments and the outlook for the coal sector worldwide.
Global coal consumption grew in the past year, and coal is projected to remain the world's largest source of electric power to 2040 and beyond. This ongoing dominance is strongly driven by the urgent need to improve access to affordable electricity in the developing world. However, there is an equally pressing need for this valuable energy and material resource to be exploited as cleanly and efficiently as possible.
The conference included site visits to two world-renowned facilities – NRG's Petra Nova project and NET Power's pioneering demonstration of the Allam cycle.
Petra Nova is the world's largest carbon capture and storage project operating on a coal power plant and a major milestone for commercial-scale CCS technology. NET Power's hotly anticipated large-scale test of an innovative supercritical CO2 power cycle achieved first fire in May 2019, promising a potential next generation of high-efficiency power plants with integrated carbon capture.
The next IEACCC Conference on Clean Coal Technologies will take place in 2021.

Le modèle diathèse–stress est une théorie psychologique tentant d'expliquer certains comportements humains par la conjonction d'une vulnérabilité héréditaire et de stress important issu d'expériences vécues.

Le terme diathèse (du terme grec pour disposition ou plutôt ici au niveau psychique tempérament) désigne dans ce modèle une vulnérabilité supposée héréditaire, qui peut prendre la forme de facteurs génétiques, psychologiques, biologiques, ou de situation
.
La vulnérabilité effective d'une personne varie selon son tempérament, son histoire personnelle, et la manière dont s'est développé le trouble.

Description
La diathèse, ou prédisposition, interagit avec la réponse au stress d'un individu. Le stress désigne un événement, ou une série d'événements, stressants de la vie qui affectent l'équilibre psychologique d'un individu et servant de catalyseur au développement d'un trouble. Ainsi, le modèle diathèse–stress explore la manière dont des traits biologiques ou génétiques (diathèses) interagissent avec des influences environnementales (éléments de stress) pour produire des troubles mentaux, comme la dépression, les troubles anxieux, et la schizophrénie. Le modèle diathèse–stress affirme que lorsque le stress excède une certaine limite, l'individu est hautement prédisposé à développer un trouble mental.

L'utilisation du terme diathèse dans les domaines de la médecine et de la psychiatrie remonte aux années 1800 ; cependant, le modèle diathèse–stress n'existait pas à cette époque et a été utilisé pour décrire une psychopathologie avant qu'il soit utilisé pour expliquer la schizophrénie dans les années 1960. Le modèle diathèse–stress est utilisé dans plusieurs champs de la psychologie, en particulier dans l'étude du développement des psychopathologies. Le modèle peut déterminer quel individu est susceptible ou non de développer un trouble. Par exemple, dans le contexte d'une baisse d'humeur, le modèle peut aider à expliquer pourquoi l'individu A devient déprimé, tandis que l'individu B ne le devient pas, même lorsqu'ils sont exposés à un même événement stressant. Le modèle explique également pourquoi certains individus sont plus susceptibles que d'autres de développer un trouble mental. Par exemple, un enfant dont un membre de la famille a des antécédents dépressifs est généralement plus à risque de développer une dépression. Un enfant dont un membre de la famille a des antécédents dépressifs et qui est exposé à des événements stressants, comme l'exclusion ou le rejet, serait plus à risque de développer une dépression, qu'un enfant dont un membre de la famille a des antécédents dépressifs, mais qui est actif sur les réseaux sociaux.

Diathèse
Le terme de diathèse est synonyme de vulnérabilité. La vulnérabilité rend plus ou moins probable le développement de psychopathologie chez un individu lorsqu'un certain stress est rencontré. La diathèse implique facteurs génétiques, biologiques, psychologiques, et cognitifs liés à la personnalité.

Stress
Le stress peut être conceptualisé par des événements stressants qui affectent l'équilibre psychologique d'un individu. Par exemple, un individu peut être plus vulnérable à la déprime, mais sans développer de dépression à moins qu'il ne soit exposé à un stress spécifique, qui peut causer une dépression nerveuse.

Donovan Capes is second in the UK Under 13 discus rankings.
Young Donovan Capes is continuing to follow in his famous family footsteps.
The 11 year-old grandson of British athletics legend Geoff Capes has been setting the throwing circles alight both indoors and out.
He finished his first indoor season ranked third in the UK Under 13 shot putt rankings and at the weekend made a stunning start to the 2017 outdoor campaign.
The Bourne Academy pupil, who competes for Nene Valley Harriers, took part in the Bedfordshire AAA Open Meeting and in his first ever discus competition he took the honours with 27.06m to go straight into the UK rankings at number two - just 19cm off the number one spot.
He threw 9.97m to win the shot, which was his best outdoors but a little down on his indoor PB of 10. 65m.
Grandad Geoff was a British, European and Commonwealth champion who competed 67 times for Great Britain and Donovan's dad Lewis and his Aunt Emma, Geoff's two children, were also shot putt champions.
Nene Valley seniorsAndrea Jenkins and Tim Needham were also in action. Jenkins won the senior ladies hammer with 49.50m and finished third in the discus (39.83m) while Needham was runner-up in the Over 60 hammer (29.93m) and third in the discus (30.95m).
Peterborough Athletic Club's Lewis Davey started his outdoor season in fine form, breaking Tony Jarman's 37 year-old Under 17 boys 400m club record by 0.6 seconds, writes Nichola Gibson.
Davey's time of 49.40 at the Lee Valley Open meeting is also an English Schools qualifying time and places him third in the early-season UK rankings. He also recorded a PB of 11.69 in the 100m.
Younger brother Ronnie also ran well, setting PBs in the 100m and 75m hurdles.
Jamie Horne opened his season with a victory in the high jump with 1.97m, just 4cm off his best, while Ellie Forrest finished seventh in the 300m hurdles in only her second attempt at the event.
PAC results: U17 100m - 4th Lewis Davey 11.69; U13 100m - 3rd Ronnie Davey 14.48; U17 400m - 5th Lewis Davey 49.40; U13 75H - 3rd Ronnie Davey 14.27; U13 300H - 7th Ellie Forrest 51.44; SM HJ - 1st Jamie Horne 1.97; U13 LJ - 20th Ronnie Davey 3.90.
Martin Glendenning of Bushfield Joggers was crowned Harrier League Champion after the final race of the series at Lynch Wood, writes Barry Warne.
Glendenning, whose dramatic improvement throughout the series kept him one step ahead of the handicapper,held off strong challenges from series runner-up Sophie Wilkinson-Hargate of host club Nene Valley and Richard Coles of Thorney.
The race was won by Yaxley youngster Mark Devine in a time of 19:48. On the night the quickest times were set by Peterborough AC's Phil Martin with 16:13 and Wilkinson-Hargate who clocked 20:23.
Fastest times of the series were run by Nene Valley's speedy duo Alex Hampson (16:04) and Ruth Jones (20:10).

The charitable organisation the Great Ethiopian Run has had its funds and property confiscated by the Charities and Civil Societies Agency (CCSA), amid accusations of involvement in activities defined as "profitable" under Ethiopian law.
Founded by champion long distance runner Haile Gebreselassie, the Great Ethiopian Run is registered as a charitable organisation with the country's justice ministry. However in the 12 years since it was founded, the organisation has made just two donations – to Marry Joy and Abebech Gobena orphanages in Addis Ababa – spending the rest of its funds on "building its own finances and image", according to the agency.
The CCSA said the government has lost the tax it would have collected had the Great Ethiopian Run been registered as a profitable business organisation. The funds and properties seized by the agency will be distributed to the charitable organisations registered as beneficiaries of the Great Ethiopian Run, which has been given until the end of the year to register as a business organisation.
Founder Gebreselassie defended the funds – 10 million birr (about €425,000) according to the CCSA – saying they were intended to ensure the viability of the run in the event of no future sponsors. He also claimed that the organisation had initially attempted to register outside of charitable status, which had been a "final option", but had received no assistance from the Ethiopian Athletic Federation (EAF).
The annual 10 km road run is the biggest of its kind in Africa and last year attracted around 36,000 athletes. This year's event takes place in Addis Ababa on 25 November and is sponsored by the Bank of Ethiopia.

Bald eagle smashes through plate glass window of H&R Block in Virginia Beach
By Lee Tolliver
| VIRGINIA BEACH
Harry Patterson, Jr. describes finding a Bald eagle standing inside a window at a Virginia Beach H&R block office on Monday, December 2, 2019.
Maybe it just wanted a private place to eat breakfast. Or maybe it wanted to get an early jump on tax season.
Why else would a mature bald eagle smash through the window of an H&R Block on Newtown Road?
Whatever the case, Harry Patterson Jr., who runs the neighboring Allstate insurance office, was astounded when he arrived to work around 9 a.m.
"I was on the phone with a friend and saw it on the inside ledge," he said. "I figured it was a stuffed animal. Then it started to move. I couldn't believe there was a bald eagle in there and I couldn't believe what I was saying to myself."

Patterson said the office is closed until the tax season, but a spokesperson for H&R Block acknowledged that the incident happened. The property manager was not available for comment.
Evidently the bird had been on a grassy area between the road and the parking lot of the Newtown Baker Crossing shopping center eating a dead seagull when it decided to take its meal elsewhere.
"I talked to a lady and her son who had been eating next door, and they had seen the bird in the grass and saw it fly away," Patterson said. "They said they heard a loud bang."
The eagle smashed through the quarter-inch plate glass, leaving a gaping hole nearly three feet wide and jagged shards all over the floor, yet remarkably appeared to suffer no injuries. There were no signs of blood, and after the bird regained its senses, it flew off out of the same hole in the glass.
Patterson videotaped the bird as it walked along the inside ledge and then recorded its flight to safety.
"Craziest thing I've ever seen," said Patterson, who has been at the same location since 1998. "A lady once drove into the place next door by accident, but this takes it."

Wildlife rehabilitator Rochelle Stewart arrived too late to rescue the bird.
"We would have liked to have seen if it had any injuries," she said. "But it looked like it flew away pretty good."
Virginia Beach Animal Control officers showed up to confirm that the meal the eagle had been eating was, indeed, a seagull.
The raptor is likely one of a mating pair living along the shoreline of Lake Smith. The lake is just about a mile away as the crow — make that the eagle — flies.

Nanhuda Shan (left) and Zhongyangjian Shan (right) viewed from North Hehuan Shan.
Nanhuda Shan, Taiwan's fifth highest at 3742m, is one the most beloved mountains among Taiwanese hikers and is famous for its views and impressive, rocky faces. Many experienced Taiwanese hikers will tell you that Nanhuda Shan is the most scenic, the most beautiful of Taiwan's mountains. I visited Nanhuda Shan in early February, and unfortunately experienced absolutely terrible weather on all four days of my trip.
Walking the entry road near the trailhead on the first day, before the weather turned to soup.
Despite the awful weather, the hiking was exceptional. The route initially heads up through forest, but breaks the treeline after the first day, leading one across an awesome landscape of barren rock. In the snow higher up, it was an eerie and severe place.
My four day hiking itinerary.
Day 0: Caught a train from Taipei to Luodong, in Yilan county, and stayed overnight in an inexpensive hotel.
Day 1: Up early, caught a taxi (NT$2500) from Luodong to the trailhead. We opted to shell out for a Taxi, rather than rent a much cheaper motorbike, due to the already very unpleasant weather. Rain showers and thick fog on the drive up.
From the trailhead, we walked 6.7km along an old overgrown service road, long rendered impassable to vehicles due to earthquakes, landslides, and typhoon damage. Not so much a road as a wide, level hiking path. Several detours took us off of the road, and over sections wiped out by landslide. The weather began to worsen, and fog descended over everything. It began to rain again.
The 'road' is overgrown and rough. Mostly level, we covered the 6.7km at a fast pace.
From the "true" trailhead, we hiked another couple of hours to the Yunling cabin, where we would camp for the first night. The Yunling cabin has plenty of bedspace and is well constructed, but we had opted to use our tents. The weather was wet and wretched, and as night fell it became quite cold. The temperature hovered around 0C; not quite cold enough for snow, and very unpleasant in the constant drizzle. I had a good night's sleep, but the friend who accompanied me this far was feeling ill, and didn't sleep well.
Yunling cabin, with two friendly hikers whom I met on the third day. We're all wet!
Day 2: In the morning, my friend was much worse; he had stomach pain, and could not keep food down. After much discussion, he decided to accompany another team who was headed home, and get off of the mountain. The team he went with conveniently lived in Taipei, nearby his house. They gave him a lift all the way home! I continued alone.
From Yunling cabin, I hiked upwards towards the Nanhu Cabin/campsite, passing Shenmazhen Shan and Nanhubei Shan on the way.
Shenmazhen Shan. Wet from the drizzle.
Nanhubei Shan. Terrible visibility and heavy rain.
Finally reaching the Nanhu Cabin, I pitched camp nearby. The weather was even worse up high. Colder, but just as wet. I headed off to the Main Peak of Nanhuda Shan with two friendly Taiwanese hikers whom I met in the cabin. One, a businessman who spoke fluent English, had hiked Nanhuda Shan twice before, and told me that he had never seen such awful weather! The route up to the Main Peak was surreal. The fog was so dense that we could only see a few meters in front of us, and no trail had been broken through the snow. We climbed up to the saddle between the East and Main Peaks, and then went about the business of finding trail markers, still visible despite the snow. The terrain was rocky and desolate.
At the Main Peak, soaking wet. Whiteout visibility.
Getting back from the Main Peak took us much longer than it would have in decent weather. We got lost a few times, and had to carefully backtrack.
Returning to the campsite, I crashed in my tent for a few hours of sleep. When the sun set the temperature dropped, creating mucky fog and sleet. It is hard to imagine worse camping weather.
I woke up feeling strong, and decided to take one more trip up the ridge before heading down. My two new friends from the day before descended all the way to the trailhead, deciding to leave early due to the weather. The temperature had dropped, freezing everything. The sleet/rain stopped, but the fog remained. Visibility was poor – I was completely socked in. Retracing our route from the evening before, this time I turned east on the saddle, heading over fields of ice and snow towards the East Peak of Nanhuda Shan. The trail was rough, rocky and almost totally devoid of plant life. I built rock cairns as I went, to protect myself from getting lost in the low visibility fog.
The East Peak of Nanhuda Shan. Zero visibility!
From the East Peak, I returned to the Nanhu cabin. There, I packed up my camping gear, and headed back to the Yunling cabin. It began to rain again. At Yunling, I pitched camp in the rain, cooked a hot dinner inside and went to bed. I slept like a rock; compared to the freezing sleet and saturated humidity of the night before, the rain was pleasant!
Adjusting my tent pitch, in the rain, on the third evening. Yunling had plenty of space, and I managed a nice comfortable setup.
Day 4: I slept in until 7 a.m., packed up, and hiked out to the trailhead.
Despite the weather, I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The terrain at Nanhuda Shan is impressive, varied, and exciting higher up. Hopefully I'll get some views, and some better photographs next time!
The Yunling cabin is well built and appeared spacious enough for sleeping. I chose to camp at Yunling, and did so quite comfortably for two nights. The area around Yunling has space for two or three tents. Yunling has a reliable water source. You can book cabin space and camping space during the permit application process.
The Nanhu cabin is quite large, and was very comfortable. There are numerous spots for camping at the Nanhu cabin, and plenty of space, as well as a reliable water source (a nice stream). Nanhu campsite is above the treeline and very exposed. In the high humidity and freezing rain/sleet I experienced, it was definitely not ideal for camping. There is also a 'middle' cabin located between Yunling and Nanhu, the Shenmazhen cabin.
The Nanhuda Shan trailhead is fairly easy to access. Take a bus or train to Yilan City or Luodong, and rent a motorbike. A taxi in cost us NT$2500.

Q: Не могу сложить Char с числом - ошибка несовместимости типов Прога выдает ошибку, мол типы не совместимы, хотя мои знания мне подсказывают что они совместимы, по крайней мере так должно быть.

A: Типы действительно несовместимы - ch это чар(символ). В зависимости от платформы он может быть AnsiChar (1 байт) или WideChar (2 байта) или вообще Unicode (от 1 до 4 байт). В случае с AnsiChar, например, в свойствах строки указывается кодировка.
Повторюсь, Char это "буква", и она никак не может быть совместима с "числом".
В ранних версиях Delphi это все работало, т.к. по умолчанию все строки были AnsiString и кодировка задавалась на уровне приложения (Win1252 например).  Этим все пользовались и строка зачастую заменяла собой array of byte. Сейчас же, приложения перешли на Unicode и нельзя безопасно полагать, что строка это массив байтов.
В вашей программе необходимо написать КАК именно вы хотите преобразовать букву в число. Например это может быть явное указание типа строки на входе AnsiString (что приведет к конвертации String в AnsiString при вызове) и взятие числового значения буквы Ord(ch).
P.S. Простой пример, как вы думаете, сколькими способами можно записать в строке русскую букву "А" ? Подсказка, способов больше одного, и у всех будут разные "байты" (и соответственно разные хэши).

Daniel Padilla Apollo


Jew-hatred in the Islamic Middle East is at tremendous heights, and stands as a major obstacle to peace. How many know, however, that it was Hitler's man in Jerusalem, the old Mufti of Jerusalem Haj Amin Al-Husseini, who was most directy responsible for stoking the fires of Jew-hatred through his intimate connections with the Nazi regime. One of the big war-criminals who participated in the Jewish Holocaust, organizer of the Hansar Division of Muslim Nazis (with swastikas on their Fez hats) who enthusiastically slaughtered Jews, Gypsies and Serbs in the Balkans, who later organized coups against the British in Iraq, and fled with many old Nazis after the war to various Islamic nations, which welcomed them with open arms. Escaping the Nuremburg war crimes trials, and the hangman's noose, after the war years Al-Husseini went on to manipulate Middle East politics from behind the curtain -- always with the goal towards extermination of the remaining Jewish populations. Yasser Arafat was one of his minions, as was Nasser of Egypt, who filled his ranks with old SS officers who had escaped from Germany. Goebbels uebermensche anti-Jewish propaganda, circulated widely in Europe and the Middle East, was adopted by the Islamist and Palestinian terror groups, and today the same old recycled Nazi lies are being spread by mainstream Arab and Muslim news sources. This stands as a major obstacle to peace, but it is one which Western journalists are more likely to be ignorant of, or to be willfully disbelieving about. An incredible history is summarized in this book by Chuck Morse, facts which rarely get into the standard histories of the Middle East, or of Europe, due to a widespread emotional "blind spot" (or willful lies of omission) which seems to persist into this day, where Islamic fanatics are so often given a "free pass", allowing Jews to continually be misportrayed as the source of the world's evil. With Americans increasingly being cast as "The Devil" by the Islamists, taking on the same role as scapegoat as was historically reserved for the Jews, these facts of history need more attention, not less, and after 9-11 we ignore this material at our peril.

Devdaha (Deva Daha, देवदह) is a municipality in Rupandehi District of Nepal, the ancient capital of Koliya Kingdom, located 7 km east of Lumbini and east of Butwal  and shares a border with Nawalparasi district on the east side.  It is identified  as the maternal home of Queen Mayadevi, Prajapati Gautami and Princess Yasodhara. There are many places to visit in Devdaha. It is believed that Prince Siddhartha had spent some years of his childhood with his step-mother/aunt Prajapati Gautami in Devdaha.

History
Devdaha was a township of the Koliyan in what is now the Rupandehi District of Nepal. The Buddha stayed there during his tours and preached to the monks on various topics. According to the Commentaries, it was the city of birth of the Buddha's mother (Mayadevi), and of Pajāpatī Gotamī and their companions (Koliyans), who married the Sākiyans of Kapilavatthu.

Origin of the name
In Sanskrit Language, Deva means god and Daha means a pond hence the literal meaning of Devadaha is "pond of the gods". It is believed that the gods and goddesses and saints bathed in this pond. Prince Siddartha himself is believed to have bathed in this holy pond during his visit here in Devadaha.  Because it came into existence without human intervention, hence divine (Pali: sayañjāto vā so daho, tasmā pi Devadaho) and the water of this holy pond was supplied in the Koliya Palace. The ancient Koliya Kingdom and present Devdaha received its name Devdaha from this very holy pond.

According to the Buddhist text Dulva (Rockhill, p. 12), the city was founded by Shākyans from Kapilavastu, when they grew very numerous. The spot was pointed out by a deva, hence its name.

Tourism Place

Pakari Tree-Kabro (पाकरी वृक्ष)

Pakari Brikshya is peepal family known as Nepali Kabro Tree from the Ficus family 'Weeping Fig' (Ficus benjamina is the scientific name). The evergreen tree has a trunk of about 82 ft. circumference and height of about 96 ft. The branches are widespread, creating a circumference of about 500 ft, and it is believed to be one of the biggest trees in Asia. The Pakari Tree is a giant and is considered to be a holy tree. There are many myths and beliefs related to this tree. According to the locals, the large Pakari Tree dates to the time of the Shakyas. The fact that birds never nest on it, vultures and crows never perch on it, and elephants never go near it, amazes the people.   Its unique structure and public belief of the historical relation to the period of Buddha, has made it a famous external and internal tourist attraction spot in the last few decades. Pakari Tree can be reached in a 5-minute drive from 'Khaireni bazar' to its south.

Bhawanipur(भवानीपुर)

The historical site of Bhawanipur, also known as Devidamar, is located 4 km south of Mahendra Highway at Devdaha Municipality Ward No. 4. It is believed to have been ancient Devdaha, capital of the Koliya. The site consists of a temple dedicated to Queen Mayadevi and other archaeological sites. Significant religious and archaeological and objects here include a long stone column (some consider it to be an Ashoka Pillar), stone image of Sun God, ancient brick well etc. Structural walls of ancient constructions are visible even at the surface level here.

Kanya Mai Temple(कन्या माइ मन्दिर  )
Located at Devdaha Municipality just 1 Km south from the junction of Shitalnagar, the Kanya Mai Temple is believed to be built in the memory of Queen Prajapati Gautami, the step mother of Buddha. Major images found in the temple, include standing image of Lokeshwore holding Lotus flower in one hand, while the other is broken off, and many stone idols. Ancient potteries are still visible on the near by mound. Excavation  carried out by the Department of Archaeology and LDT have uncovered several structural ruins and stone antiquities at these sites.

The structures of traditional palace and well also have been uncovered during the excavation of 2011 AD.

Devdaha Park
Prince Siddhartha was born in Lumbini while Queen Maya Devi was on her way to Devdaha. Queen Maya Devi died on the seventh day of Siddhartha's birth. He was then brought up by his second mother, Queen Prajapati Gautami. During his childhood, Prince Siddhartha paid several visits to Devdaha. After seven years of his Enlightenment, Prince Siddhartha – now Gautama Buddha – again visited Devdaha and was greatly welcomed there.

This Park is the eastern front gate of Devdaha. It contains a huge garden and a pagoda. There is a big statue of Buddha () and a gilded statue of Sariputra. The garden contains various flowers including bodhi brichha. The park was built by Devdaha Conservation Academy, and it was inaugurated by  Former Crown Prince of Nepal Paras Bir Bikram Shah Dev. This park is the entrance and the symbol of peace in Devdaha. Previously due to lack of advertisement, people used to get confused about this place, but nowadays this problem has been solved.

Whisper on the Wind Free Today from Amazon Kindle Store
February 27, 2011 by Michael Gallagher
Whisper on the Wind by Maureen Lang is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 27 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
In Brussels at the height of WWI, a small, underground newspaper is the only thing offering the occupied city hope—and real news of the war. The paper may be a small whisper amid the shouts of the German army, but Edward Kirkland will do anything to keep it in print. Meanwhile, Isa Lassone, a Belgian-American socialite whose parents whisked her to safety at the start of the war, sneaks back into the country to rescue those dearest to her: Edward and his mother. But Edward refuses to go, and soon Isa is drawn into his secret life printing the newspaper . . . And into his heart.
Riven Free Today from Amazon Kindle Store
Riven by Jerry B. Jenkins is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 54 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
You would never expect the paths of Brady Darby and Thomas Carey to cross. The teenage Brady is an outsider from the wrong side of the tracks who's trying to find his place in life while still somehow protecting his little brother from their negligent mother. Thomas is a preacher without a flock, as he and his devoted wife, Grace, are forced to move towns once again after allowing membership at yet another church to dwindle under their watch. At every turn, Brady's decisions seem to backfire, even when he tries change by participating in the high school musical. At the same time, Thomas and Grace are immediately rejected by their latest congregation for refusing to give in to politics, and their only child seems to reject them and their lifestyle. Several years later, the worlds of Brady and Thomas collide at a juvenile halfway house. They act as life forces for each other even as their individual worlds sink deeper into misery. Christian fiction author Jenkins covers much ground in this weighty book, and while heroes are made out of those who come to God, Jenkins avoids preachiness and, instead, lets goodness shine. Expect demand as Jenkins' following grows with every outing.

After the Leaves Fall Free Today from Amazon Kindle Store
February 7, 2011 by Michael Gallagher
While there have been a lot of free book offerings today, some are just lasting for an hour or two….that being said, if you are interested in this one, please grab it now!
After the Leaves Fall by Nicole Baart is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 23 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
In her promising debut novel, Baart writes compellingly about a young girl's struggle with loss, love, identity and faith. Julia Bakker knows what loss is. Her mother abandoned her, her beloved father died, and her childhood love has gone to college and found another. As a teen, she lives with her saintly grandmother, who urges her to go to church camp, but Julia finds only quick answers and thrilling conversions there. Disillusioned, Julia decides it is up to her, not anyone else-even some impossible, far-flung God-to reinvent herself. The truth was, I didn't know who I was, and I was afraid of being defined by who I wasn't. By what I didn't have…. By remembering with predictable, cyclic accuracy all I had lost. After chronicling her early years, the story follows Julia as she enrolls in college to study engineering and become someone who is too smart to attach, too independent to want to, and so secure as to be untouchable. Soon, Julia is repeating her mother's mistakes. The love of her rock-solid Christian grandmother and a newfound (and not completely well-explained) reliance on God help fortify her for the difficult path ahead. Sparkling prose makes this new novel a welcome addition to inspirational fiction.
Heart of Stone Free Today from Amazon
Heart of Stone by Jill Marie Landis is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 26 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
Landis, inspirational fiction author of more than 20 novels, offers readers who value gentle love stories this first title in the Irish Angels series. Laura Foster (aka Lovie Lane), wealthy widowed owner of a refined boardinghouse in Glory, Tex., is running from her tainted past and ruined childhood in a tale set in the 1870s. Laura does everything in her power to overcome the odds and create a life free of shame and abuse. Partly succeeding, she is thrown off-kilter when handsome Rev. Brand McCormick, a widower, takes a romantic interest in her. Laura knows with dead certainty that Brand would never come calling if he knew the truth of her past, so she rebuffs his attention at every turn. But the good reverend just won't be put off. Both characters have much to reveal that will test their love, faith, and loyalty to one another. Landis's writing is crisp and neatly presented; however, much of the story is too formulaic for discerning genre readers.
Blood Ransom Free Today from Amazon
Blood Ransom by Lisa Harris is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 27 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
Natalie Sinclair is working to eradicate the diseases decimating whole villages in the Republic of Dhambizao when she meets Dr. Chad Talcott, a surgeon on sabbatical from a lucrative medical practice now volunteering at a small clinic. Meanwhile, things are unraveling in Dhambizao. Joseph Komboli returns to his village to discover rebel soldiers abducting his family and friends.

When Chad and Natalie decide to help Joseph expose this modern-day slave trade—and a high-ranking political figure involved in it—disaster nips at their heels. Where is God in the chaos? Will Chad, Natalie, and Joseph win their race against time? Romance and adventure drive this Blood Ransom Ebook, by Lisa Harris, a powerful thriller about the modern-day slave trade and those who dare to challenge it.

Listen by Rene Gutteridge is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 32 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
Clever novelist Gutteridge (the Storm series) has consistently upped the ante of Christian storytelling by offering her readers intelligent and entertaining texts. Her newest work delves into the deepest recesses of the human heart via the spoken word. The small town of Marlo, where nothing newsworthy ever happens, is blindsided when a mysterious Website begins posting the private conversations of its citizens. Intrigue and suspicion mount quickly and everyone is suspect and suspicious. When one of Marlo's police officers dies, newspaperman Damien Underwood commits himself to pursuing the site's creator. Damien's search hits close to home as he attempts to protect his wife Kay and two teens, Jenna and Hunter, from the escalating mistrust, lies, and deceit. Swirling acts of violence and voices of condemnation serve to heighten an already tense and fragile citizenry. Gutteridge's skillful handling of the power of words will have every reader quietly introspective.

Julia DeSmit can't wait for her life to begin. After her mother leaves when Julia is nine years old, she's raised by an unassuming, gentle father and a saintly, matriarchal grandmother until her father dies just as Julia is becoming a young adult.
On the cusp of womanhood, Julia feels jaded by her circumstances and longs for a new identity. College seems like the perfect place to start over. But when Julia makes a mistake that will change her life forever, she returns to her grandmother's farm, defeated and convinced of her own worthlessness. Only through the gentle prodding of her loving grandmother does Julia begin to accept the imprint her childhood has left on her life and look for hope in a loving God who longs to make all things new.

Imaginary Jesus Free Today from Amazon
Imaginary Jesus by Matt Mikalatos is free today from the Amazon Kindle store, and has received an average user rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars based on 51 customer reviews. You can pick up your free copy by clicking here.
The Apostle Peter punches Jesus in the face, then chases him out of a coffee shop. And that's just chapter 0. In this quirky tale the publisher describes as not-quite-true, former missionary and comic book store clerk Mikalatos disguises his critique of Christian life in an action-based quest to find the real Jesus. It's A Christmas Carol meets Oz, but instead of ghosts and tin men, it's a talking donkey, a motorcycle rider, and Mikalatos himself. The cast of characters drags the reader through the streets of Seattle and ancient Judea to introduce a host of fake Jesuses: Magic 8 Ball Jesus, Harley Jesus, even Liberal Social Services Jesus. They're constructs of the human mind. People invent a Jesus for one specific reason and then discard him when they don't need him anymore, says one of the Jesuses (the one with an expensive suit). Peter teaches Mikalatos that he must quiet falsehoods and mold a deeper relationship with the living, historical Jesus. Mixing questions of suffering and free will with a nexus of weirdness, Mikalatos throws Christian fiction into the world of Comic-Con and Star Wars. His silly quest is startling, contemporary, meaningful, and occasionally exhausting when the reader is puzzled. It begs for a comic book counterpart.

My kiddos are not fans of the Easter Bunny. They either despise him or are completely afraid of him. Needless to say this makes planning Easter activities quite interesting. This year I decided to go for a Christ centered Easter theme, focusing on phrases such as "Lamb of God," "Feed My Sheep," etc. I'm quite pleased with how my Easter Tot Activities with Free Printables turned out.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The first weekend in April, our church holds a world wide conference where our modern day prophet and apostles speak to us. General Conference is divided into 4-two hour sessions over the course of two days.
Keeping kiddos busy so the adults can listen is quite a challenge. All of these activities have been designed to be used during General Conference, whether you are watching via satellite at home, or in a chapel at your local church.
These cards can be used in several ways. Kiddos can match up cards, pictures, words, etc., or they can engage in a simple memory game. I'm hoping Sunshine will enjoy them.
Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of my Easter Tot School Printable Pack I. For your free copy, click on the link at the bottom of the post.
Sunshine will use the stamp and ink provided to fill in circles in the letter S. If stamps aren't available, one can use dot markers, stickers, glass beads, etc. The circles are large for little hands. This activity will be supervised at all times due to the small stamp being used (and the ink of course).
Sunshine is still struggling with counting. She will count the sheep in each picture, clipping a clothes pin to the correct number. I'm guessing the clothespins themselves will keep her entertained for quite some time.
Sunshine learn about the foods sheep eat. She will then separate the food cards into two categories. Once the cards are separated, I'm hoping to engage her in some pretend play using the doll and the sheep with corresponding cards.
Sunshine will create a staff used by shepherds, stringing wooden beads onto a pipe cleaner. This activity will be supervised by an adult at all times, due to the small beads.
Sunshine will use marshmallows to cover the body of the sheep, making it white and fluffy. When she appears done, she'll be offered some marshmallows as a special treat.
I love this simple activity! Sunshine will blow with all her might to scatter the "sheep." She will then use tweezers to go and find all of those that are lost, bringing them back to the "fold." I'm guessing Bulldozer will be a huge fan of this activity also. Depending on how strong your child blows, will determine how many sheep you want scattered. This is a very quiet activity for those who may be in church.
Sunshine will use the picture provided as help, to piece together the four piece puzzle. She already loves this picture! If she does the four piece puzzle with ease, I will print out another picture, cutting it into six pieces and so on.
Source: The free printable picture used in this activity can be found at www.lds.org.
For those watching General Conference this week, I hope you enjoy it. Please check back soon to see more General Conference Activities.
These are all great ideas for Easter activities!

This week, the Essex Safeguarding Children Board (ESCB) alongside Essex County Council (ECC) is supporting 'Children's Mental Health Week', a campaign launched by Place2Be to raise awareness and explore how young people can further improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
The focus on healthy living tends to be around physical wellbeing, be that getting the right level of exercise or eating the right food, however the campaign sets out to illustrate how maintaining a healthy body also helps to maintain a healthy mind. Free resources giving advice and guidance are available for parents and carers, with the theme this year being Healthy: Inside and Out.
Children and young people living in Essex who feel they are struggling with their emotional health and wellbeing and need to talk to someone, can also seek help through Kooth, a free online counselling service.
The ESCB has a dedicated page regarding Emotional Wellbeing & Mental Health which can be accessed here.

Leaving your cryptocurrencies on exchanges imposes huge risks, approximately $1.7B US dollars have been stolen from cryptocurrency exchanges, proving that leaving your funds on an exchange is not secure enough.
One can argue that the barrier for mass adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum is the complexity of keeping your private keys safe. About 20% of all Bitcoin have been estimated to be unusable due to private key owners losing their.. private keys.
Quixxi, an Australian start-up, introduces a solution to this problem. By providing a simple but secure crypto payment and storage system, with Quixxi Connect customers can use their e-mail address as a way to store and transfer cryptocurrency, all the while the private keys are hidden by sharding and decentralisation.
Blockchain may be defined as an autonomous cryptic ledger, Quixxi utilizes the blockchain to store the private key in encrypted shards, decentralizing them to provide reliable security.
Using your e-mail client, as a customer of Quixxi you can access your funds and transfer them. This means that with the password of your e-mail client, your funds are accessible. This is why additional forms of authentication to your e-mail clients are not only recommended by Quixxi, but strongly encouraged. In particular the 2-Factor Authentication.
For Quixxi Connect's crypto payment solution to be implemented, the creation of decentralised network and commercialization of their solutions require funding. Currently Quixxi is in the pre-sale stage, where investors receive a bonus 30% on top of their contributions, without a minimum. The hard-cap is set at $30M USD and the soft-cap at $3M USD, where 2,000 QXE tokens are valued approximately 1 ETH.
Quixxi is Airdropping in total 1 million QXE tokens! The Quixxi Airdrop is scheduled to commence on September 24th. Go to the Quixxi Airdrop on their homepage and click on "Join Airdrop". Enter your e-mail address to register and when the Airdrop starts on September 24th, you will receive an e-mail with the next steps.


Just like anything else that is important, friendships must be nurtured. This means teaching children specific social skills and giving them the opportunity to practice these skills.
Help your child make a good first impression.
Before an interaction can take place, someone must start it. Learning to greet others with a hello, a wave, or a smile is a skill that children will use throughout their lives in many different situations. For children who have difficulty moving or speaking, you may want to help your child's peers recognize interests they share with your child. You also may suggest specific ways they may talk or play together. Many parents have noticed that when their children are dressed and groomed in a popular and attractive way, there is a better chance that peers will respond positively.
Identify children who show an interest in your child.
Find out who your child plays with while in childcare or at school. Ask a teacher, caregiver, or another reliable person with children who shows a special interest in your child. Use this information to identify which children and parents you may want to approach for play dates or buddy arrangements.
Invite a peer over for a play date after school or on the weekend. Limiting the play date to two or three children means that there will be fewer distractions and more opportunities for interaction among the children. It is helpful to prepare the toys and activities beforehand to ensure the experience is a positive one. Play dates can last one to two hours – short enough so each child wants to have another play date soon!
Choose toys that bring children together.
Select toys children can use together, such as balls, blocks or other construction objects, and board games. It is also a good idea to have available toys that children can use to play alongside each other, such as crayons, musical instruments, or books. Sometimes it helps to have two of the same toys so that children can play together without having to take turns.
Arrange the play area to help children feel comfortable.
Set up a play area that will encourage friendships. If you have the space, you may want to arrange the space to allow for children to play in quiet, calm ways as well as active and noisy ways. The play area should be free of clutter and other distractions. Different kinds of toys and materials should be ready for the children to explore and share.
Plan activities that are fun and interactive.
Organize a specific activity such as cooking (cookies are typically a big hit!) or an art project to encourage positive shared experiences. Other options include trips to the museum, library, park, local concerts, high school plays, popular restaurants or ice cream shops.
Show your child positive social behavior.
Children are more likely to use positive social skills, if they see these behaviors being used. Parents and caregivers should model social behavior, such as taking turns, listening, sharing ideas, compromising, or showing empathy. Be sure to point out positive social behaviors to your child when or after they occur in natural settings. You can also read and talk to your child using storybooks that are about friendships.
Teach your child specific social skills.
Social skills should be learned and practiced. For example, at the playground, you might teach your child to identify peers who are already playing together and encourage her to make casual contact and join in ongoing activities. You can also practice other social skills at home as you play with your child. For example, you might take turns in a simple card game, or practice trading ("If I give you this book, can you give me that toy?").
Look for opportunities to enhance and celebrate your child's success.
Praise your child when he plays with other children. For example, smile at her when she offers a toy to another child or tell him how wonderful it was to see him take turns with the shovel in the sandbox. On the other hand, you should be ready to help your child when he is having difficulty communicating or interacting with other children. Keep an eye out for times when you may need to change an activity or help your child resolve a misunderstanding. Stay nearby, but not too close – you want to let your child know you have confidence in her!


for their tactical articles which are now part of the LEAF! Please join me in thanking these members for their effort to make the community a richer place for us all.
If you'd like to contribute something and earn yourself a shiny medal like these guys, check out the how-tos for tacticas and painting / modelling.
But with the coming rumours of a new book released next month, it could all be a bit irrelevant soon.
...So if you're addressing me direct, just call me Lance or Dusk, no 1983 please.
Thanks for the nod! Though this thread got more replies than my ogre tactica haha.

La locomotora de vapor  Eleonore es la única de 800 mm de ancho de vía preservada en España. De fabricación belga, fue adquirida por la Real Compañía Asturiana de Minas para el ferrocarril de El Espartal, que unía sus instalaciones de Arnao con el muelle de San Juan de Nieva, en el puerto de Avilés, en el norte de España. Rehabilitada en 2010 se encuentra situada en la plaza de la mina de Arnao.

Historia

Servicio
Fue adquirida por la Real Compañía Asturiana de Minas en 1880 a la empresa belga Société des hauts-fourneaux, usines et charbonnages de Marcinelle et Couillet (más conocida como Couillet) para el servicio de la línea que unía sus instalaciones de Arnao con el muelle de San Juan de Nieva, en el puerto de Avilés, en el norte de España. Según
la Eleonore fue la primera máquina destinada al servicio de dicha línea que contaba con tracción animal. A ella se le unirían otras tres similares de la misma empresa belga en 1887, 1899 y 1951.

Retiro

A finales de los años 1950 o mediados de los años 1960, fue retirada del servicio y dejada de exposición en el exterior de las instalaciones de Asturiana de Zinc (AZSA), filial de la Real Compañía, en San Juan de Nieva. Cedida por AZSA al municipio de Castrillón, fue traslada al embarque exterior del pozo de la mina de Arnao en 2005.. Allí permaneció hasta el 2010, en que fue trasladada a Langreo para su restauración. Tras él, estuvo en depósito en el Museo del Ferrocarril de Asturias, en Gijón hasta su regreso a Arnao, donde permanece en un edificio exento acristalado en la plaza de la mina.

Características
Es una locomotora de rodaje 020T, según la nomenclatura utilizada en España: dos ejes motores acoplados, con tanques de agua laterales. Además cuenta con cilindros y distribución exteriores. Su ancho de vía es de 800 mm.

Protección
Está incluida en el Conjunto histórico industrial de Arnao, incluido en el inventario del patrimonio cultural de Asturias en 2007. Así mismo fue incluida en el catálogo del Inventario del Patrimonio Histórico Industrial de Asturias (1985-1987) con el código IPHI-613.
