Lyrics. It's such a huge part of life in general. We're constantly surrounded by music, songs, agendas, propaganda, vibes and melodies. How often do we consider the words and meanings being fed into our minds?
I think about what I'm listening to a lot. All the time. My brain is half packed with memorized song lyrics, both Christian genre and secular.
But I try to be so careful.
I know there are some songs that will stick themselves into my head like a burr and run on repeat. And they aren't always good songs.
My secular music is limited quite a bit to what I know to be clean, mostly oldies that my dad plays a lot, as well as a couple of songs from cartoon etc. etc.
But that's not all. So many times in life people will slip under the banner of things labeled "Christian" and think it's all innocent perfection. Guess what? It's not. Not only are we all humans, but our Enemy also knows that there's not much quite as powerful as a little lie with a lot of truth.
Innocent. Beautiful innocent things can have an underlying sickness and can bring harm.
This is a warning we should definitely take to heart. God warns us to KEEP ON THE ALERT.
Now, onto nitpicking. I'm not a spiteful nitpicker. I study and search out most everything that comes into my mind and heart (Proverbs 4:23) to keep myself pure and holy for God because I feel that's what He would want me personally to be in the alert about (especially in the world we live in).
Recently I've been listening to the Christian artist Nicole Nordeman. I find her voice beautiful, and her lyrics so deep. I especially enjoy her songs "Dear Me" and "Be My Rescue." But there was one song that I fell in love with, before listing a bit closer to the words.
The song is called "Why" and is an account of the Crucifixion. I liked it so much.
Was there? I wouldn't take the liberty to say there was. I'm sure, being fully God and FULLY man, He would have been scared, upset, visibility distressed. But I think if anything, there would have been peace in His eyes, because He knew God had a plan, and He knew that death was not the end. Some discomfort because of what He knew had to happen but His eyes would show peace. Somehow, looking at Mark 14:61 and Luke 23:9 I don't get the impression that there was fear in His eyes. People who are afraid don't stand silent before accusation. They try and get out of the thing they are afraid of as quickly and frantically as they can.
That gives the idea that our Savior didn't trust in God, because 1 John 4:18 says perfect love casts out fear.
"Father, why are they screaming? Why are the faces of some of them beaming? Why are they casting their lots for my robe? This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows.
"Father please, can't you do something? I know that you must hear my cry. I thought I could handle a cross of this size. Father remind me why. Why does everyone want me to die?
And this whole thing pretty much hurt me in the heart. The first three questions are not something Jesus would ask. In John 7:7 Jesus HIMSELF says "The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works therefore are evil." Matthew 27:35 also says exactly why they cast lots for His robe and I 100% believe He knew this. It was a prophecy that was to be fulfilled by the Messiah, and so it was done, though the solders didn't know.
Going onto the next paragraph, I believe that Jesus had already submitted Himself to the coming cross in the garden of Gethsemane, and would not have asked on the cross if God could "do something." He had already asked that in the garden, and then said "Thy will be done." And God's will was for Him to die on the cross.
"I thought I could handle a cross of this size." *gapes* who is this person to put words in Jesus' mouth that give the completely wrong idea of who He was and how He went to the cross. Jesus was 100% following God's will, and He KNEW He would rise from the dead. Why would He then "think" He could handle that cross (and at this point doubt that He could)? He KNEW He could, and He would. He knew the price that would come to pay for the sins of the world BEFORE He went to the cross and He KNEW He could handle it. I do not appreciate the writer putting doubt spilling from His lips as He suffered. It gives a false, VERY false, idea of how Jesus died on the cross. He went willingly, completely, aware of the cost, and He did it for love.
And again, the last two sentences, He knew EXACTLY WHY! Notice He could have very well come off the cross and left us sinners here to die in the dust and go to hell (LIKE WE DESERVE!) but He stayed. I feel if He hadn't understood, if He had needed to be "reminded," we would not be standing in the position of Grace like we are today.
"My precious Son, I hear them screaming, and I'm watching the face of the Enemy beaming; but soon I will cloth you in robes of My own. Jesus this hurts me much more than you know.
"But this dark hour, I must do nothing, though I've heard your unbearable cry.
The first paragraph is well done except for the last sentence. Again, Jesus is FULLY God, just like He's finally man, which means He knows everything, and I believe that includes the pain that both He and The Father went through in order to save us sinners.
The rest of it is good as well, except for "Now I can tell you why." As I'd already said repeatedly. Jesus knew.
But the emphasis on telling us why Jesus had to die, for that little girl beside her father, that little girl that I feel is me, small, unable to understand it all, not even yet knowing that He was suffering for me to live, that was a beautiful reminder.
So in conclusion, the song is a mixture of beauty and mistakes. And it's honestly sad, because the doctrine is slightly faulty. For a none believer or new believer to hear this song and take it to heart (and why wouldn't they?) it would be misleading, giving the idea that Jesus didn't know, hadn't known, went half willingly, and that The Father pushed Him there, it is false.
Be careful girls what you read, watch, and listen to.
Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Great words on that song! I'd never heard of it but that sure is annoying and might lead people astray. 🙁 If you do like Christian music, Bethel has great ones. And NF (is a rapper, but Start Over ft Flame is great). Owl City has good stuff. for King And Country is fabulous.
I totally agree with this. Just because a song is labeled "Christian" or even comes from an artist who has in the past had very good songs, doesn't mean that we should just mindlessly listen to the lyrics without testing them before God's Word.
YES! I agree with you 100%!! I've never heard this song, but it's definitely incorrect. Jesus didn't stumble cluelessly onto the cross not knowing what all was going on. He knew from the beginning, before time began! And, in fact, He made the plan with God!
I don't know of this particular artist or song you mentioned, and so I can't say if she's truly seeking God or understanding what her songs say, but sometimes they don't think very deeply. If I may give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe the artist would agree with you. Maybe she would give her own counterargument. I don't know, but I would like to ask some artists about their songs that aren't completely theologically correct, to see what they'd say.
As to your actual argument, I agree that Jesus knew why He had to go to the cross, etc. But Jesus was also human; He asked His father, "Why have You forsaken Me?" Now, of course Jesus knew the answer to that–it was sin that separated Them. But Jesus was human as well as God, and while He was on the cross, His humanity was, shall I say, more obvious. Jesus' humanity couldn't understand these things, though His sovereignty could. So, I agree, I'd be hesitant to put words in Jesus' mouth; at least, I'd be extremely careful. I can't say that I really like those lyrics, but I don't know if the artist or songwriter is being purposefully misleading.
Jesus asked "Why have you forsaken me?" Not because He wanted to know, but because He was quoting a prophecy of the Messiah as well as asking those at the foot of the cross and US why God had let Jesus suffer. The answer is so we could LIVE! The idea and vibe that Nicole was giving with those questions was not the meaning that Jesus's question on the cross was. But yes, I highly doubt it was purposeful misleading, though that doesn't take away any of the false idea that the lyrics were giving and could lead young believers (or even old ones sometimes) to a wrong view.
I knew I knew who you were, I just didn't know WHO you were. XD. Hi Hanna.
Hmm, good thoughts. It's scary how much of a hold music can have over us, we must always be careful. Thank you for this reminder!

This week in games: look at the Terminator-theme Xbox One X and its baleful red eye
This week in games: look at the Terminator-theme Xbox One X and its ominous red eye
If the AI feel is growing and Skynet a reality, at least we were prepared, by the nonstop onslaught of Terminatortie-ins this year—not the least of which is the custom Xbox One X that Microsoft unveiled this week. You look at his eyes and despair, for there is a new red-ring-of-death fight.
news, plus Red barrels teases Outlast 3 (or maybe something else), Red Dead shows its PC-graphics a more, the death of Stranding's coming to the PC next summer, and Netflix finally a real trailer for The Witcher. Spoiler: It's the same as every bit of marketing for this adaptation is better and worse than I expected.
This is gaming news for the 28. October to 1. November.
Halloween hangover
Halloween is over, which for me means getting ready for Thanksgiving, and department stores means it's time to bust out Christmas decorations. But before we get too far into the holidays, epic is still the darkest, celebrating the most season of the year with a few giveaways this week. Both Soma and Costume Quest to the modern classics, and you owe it to yourself packing, the two even if it is burned out, a month-long horror-fest.
Next week, Nuclear Throne and Ruiner, that doesn't sound very Thanksgiving-y to me. Then again, I can't believe any Thanksgiving games off the top of my head. An underserved market, perhaps.
Beta bonanza
If you are OK with less-ready-made fun, there are also several betas this weekend. the Warcraft III: now properly umgeschmiedet multiplayer beta, with rolling waves of invites going out to those who pre-order the "spoils of war" – issue-and, later, first go for anyone who pre-orders period.
And Halo: Reach in the third round of Tests this week. You need to hope as a "Halo-Insider" – and then that of the store, but those selected, you get to test, two missions ("precious" and "Winter " contingency") and play a handful of multiplayer maps. You can also check out the minimum specifications for the execution of Reach in the year 2019. As you would expect, they are damn low. A GTX 770 will get you 4K, even if barely, while a GTX 560 Ti is listed as the minimum for 1080p play.
A Hideo Kojima game
the death of Stranding is coming to PC in "early summer of 2020," as revealed this week. Quickly, cancel your PS4 pre-orders and then sit down and watch this latest trailer, I think that's our lot for the next nine months, while all the other…climb ladders, or whatever the hell you do in this game. I don't know, and honestly, I'm not convinced that I care, but hey, it is encouraging to see a Sony-backed game like this to come to PC. Perhaps a sign of more?
Redder and Deader
Speaking of the PC-ports Red Dead Redemption II finally, the PC meets next week. I'm sure you can imagine, the improvements for yourself, all of these beautiful horse testicles grow and shrink in 4K resolution. But if you want advance take a look, Rockstar is a very pretty PC-launch-lure trailer, you will have to copy to the purchase of a (second).
Streamlined steam
Valve finally released its long-awaited Steam library-Update as a beta-branch in September, and I've been using it ever since. It is fantastic, and I shuddered myself to a computer, without the beta branch have been active in the last few months. Fortunately, this is already a thing of the past, though! As of this week, valve pushed the new library is all on Steam.
Go ahead, to admire it. It's been a long time coming.
Epic has a knack for timing, its own store-updates from Valve. No wonder, then, that the Epic Games Store, discussed a handful of improvements, in this week—although probably not the one you have been waiting for. Actually, the first is not one of those "wait, it gave?" Improvements, such as Epic added genre Filter to the store.
wish lists will come soon, according to epic's announcement. And while Epic seems to be still against user reviews, it revealed a partnership with the open critic to the surface of the ratings on the storefront. For details, refer to here.
Square Avengers – the game is due may 15 and I have the feeling we've hardly seen it yet. Or rather, we have seen the same section over and over again, the prologue battle on the Golden Gate Bridge. For a second I feared this latest trailer would seal that for the umpteenth time, but it has to go deeper into the loot system and such in the back half. Still not much, given the impending release date, but at least it's something.
Battlefield…6?
Battlefield's was, on an every-other-year schedule for a while now, but don't expect Battlefield VI to knock soon. EA's Andrew Wilson had. there, in an investor call this week and said, we will not see the next Battlefield until sometime in 2021 or even 2022 This is a three – or even four-year gap between the versions, the allows hopefully the DICE, to more significant changes—and perhaps even a longer campaign? I can only dream of.
to Ubisoft breaking point
' s to the custom made, the rescue of his bad games of this generation. He recovered, The division, it was rainbow Six siege in a phenomenon, and now it is trying to fix, Ghost Recon breakpoint. There is a very long blog post to this effect on Ubisoft's side, but the key point is that Ubisoft "the in a radical and highly addictive version of Ghost Recon breakpoint." What that means is up in the air, but I'll be curious to see what breakpoint looks like a year from now on Ubisoft's track record.
Okay, one last bit of Halloween-adjacent news: Red Barrels, developer of Outlast, took advantage of the day to tease his next project. All we got was a picture of two hands, and the words, "Where the freedom ends." It is Outlast 3? Maybe. I promise you, you know as much as I do. We keep an eye out for more, because as much as I was disappointed of Outlast 2, I would still like to see the Red barrels to recapture the feeling of tightness in the calling forth of the original.
Outlast…3?
you Forget the next Xbox. All I want to Terminator is ridiculous -themed Xbox, which Microsoft unveiled this week. In General, this tie-in will promote-ins are boring Affairs, with a color swap and maybe an alternate logo, and a game or another. The Terminator: the Dark fate the Xbox is a full-custom-Form robot protrude but also with a melty face and the red-eye from the tip. It is so ugly and so stupid, and I would like to in my house—but they have only made one, and you have to win it in a competition. Damn.
bathtub blues
We end this week only we are the end of may this week: the debut trailer for the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher. could It looks better than I expected first? Easily. Is bath-Geralt neat strongly to fans? In any case. But it looksgood? I'm not sold…still. Sometimes it looks like the Downton Abbey spiritual successor to it will be a matter of urgency. Other points, it looks like The Witcher, by way of The CW.
So we will see and see soon, I think. the The Witcher is due out December 20.

3D Printer, Industry 3D Printer, Raise 3D, Raise3D Pro Series
Pro3 Plus
Category: Raise3D Pro Series
The Pro3 Series includes two dual-extruder 3D printers: the Pro3, with a build volume of 300x300x300mm, and the Pro3 Plus, with a build volume of 300x300x605mm. Forged from the award-winner Pro2 Series, the Pro3 Series comes with improved usability, higher overall equipment effectiveness, and industrial-grade repeatability, making it the best choice in the segment for any customer using 3D printing in agile or small-batch production.
Interchangeable Hotends
The Pro3 Series is equipped with an independent modular extruder with a dual-extrusion structure. This allows the Pro3 Series to print using a variety of filaments while reducing clogging, and enabling convenient disassembly and replacement of components, reducing machine downtime. The new interchangeable hotend system is ideal for users who may need to often switch from non-abrasive to abrasive materials that require different nozzle types, or users who want to print at higher speeds and require different nozzle sizes. They are designed with a click and lock mechanism that requires no tools, and each is uniquely identified in order track and record the nozzle usage time.
While Pro2 Series comes with a factory calibration that requires minimal or no calibration effort, Pro3 Series takes a step further in usability and comes with Auto Bed Leveling. The new Auto Bed Leveling feature is a relevant tool for those using printers for production purposes and who wish to implement a preventive maintenance program to ensure consistent quality of the final printed parts. Auto Bed Leveling minimizes the time allocated to calibration and increases productivity.
Air Flow Manager
The Air Flow Manager of the Pro3 Series is located on the back of the printer, improving heat dissipation and air circulation, creating a stable environment inside the print chamber. Equipped with a HEPA air filter, Air Flow Manager can also filter and clean the air inside the chamber. As long as it operates within the recommended temperature range, the Air Flow Manager will ensure the stability of the temperature inside the chamber, which translates into better repeatability of top-quality results independently from the external conditions.
EVE Smart Assistant
The Pro3 Series has a built-in smart assistant system known as EVE. Similar to what is common practice in 2D printing, the EVE assistant can guide users to accurately locate and resolve issues that might affect the final print job. It also has a function that analyses printer usage and sends users reminders of scheduled interventions to ensure that printer maintenance is performed on time.
Raise3D is the first company in its segment to introduce such a feature, bringing the usability of professional 3D printers to the next level.
Other improvements
Among the other improvements, we highlight the following:
Flexible build plate which allows an effortless removal of 3D printed parts.
Z-axis rod stiffness increased by 75% to deliver more stable performance.
Automatic Detection so that when a door is opened, that will immediately pause the print and resume it after the door is closed.
Second-generation power-loss recovery, to save the printing status in the case of a power outage and continue printing from the same point after power is restored.
Lightweight Cable with Digital Temperature Measurement.
HD camera with enhanced image quality and exposure sensitivity.
Edward Feng, Raise3D global CEO, said "In 2018, when the Pro2 Series was first launched, we were committed to "Raise the Standards", something that was acknowledged by the market with the attribution of relevant awards to our printers. As a result of the recognition of Pro2 Series, we started working on our mission: "To lead the promotion and implementation of Flexible Manufacturing Solutions with 3D Printing". With the launch of the Pro3 Series, and the launch of the E2CF this year, we will confidently be "Implementing Flexible Manufacturing".

Johnny Depp Looks Delicious On His Way To Letterman
Photos and Video Of Johnny Depp On David Letterman Promoting Public Enemies
26 June 2009 by POPSUGAR Celebrity UK
Johnny Depp is promoting his new movie Public Enemies at the moment and made an appearance on David Letterman's talkshow last night to talk about it. He started off by discussing his two children, saying they're out of their "tiny drunk" phase, and how he fears for the boys who are lining up to take out his daughter. As always, he comes across as a charming, likeable guy who admits to not seeing his own movies, saying once he's finished acting it's really "none of his business". Johnny says he "really doesn't like watching" himself, but he doesn't need to worry about that, there are plenty of people — including me — who are more than happy to watch him onscreen! Check out the interview after the jump!

Grappler with the best resume in history!?
Discussion in 'Grappling Technique' started by ruckerthe, Jun 19, 2008.
Just curious as to which grappler has the most/best titles and prestigious wins in history. Also which is the most prestigious grappling tournament to win?
You might want to narrow it down to style. There's great grapplers in every form of grappling from Sambo to catch wrestling to BJJ. And there's older guys who are highly respected that may not have the tournament resume guys get now days but are still legends.
He's asking whose the best EVA!?
if you are talking jiu-jitsu i'd say xande. he has 6 mundial golds 2 of which are absolute.
Agreed. BJJ goes to Xande I'd say.
Kenny from MD Less angry than before.
It has to be Alexander Karelin, no contest.
Carlos and Helio Gracie, because without them none of us would be doing jiu jitsu!
Cobrinha has one of the most meticulous VERIFIABLE up and coming records, but he hasn't been around nearly long enough to be the best yet.
anyone have the lowdown on Toshihiko Koga or Kyuzo Mifune?

Q: Stuck starting cups-browsed I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 on Dell XPS630i with no success. There's two problems:

*

*bootloader does not install via ubuntu installer. Resolved this with the help of repair-boot. Mentioning this in case it has any effect on the next problem

*After installation, Ubuntu hangs during boot on cup-browsed. HDD led just keeps blinking every second and that is it (tried leaving it like this for 30 minutes).

Here's the boot log (when I press ESC):
* Starting mDNS/DNS-SD daemon                                     [OK]
* Starting blueatooth daemon                                      [OK]
* Starting CUPS printing spooler/server                           [OK]
* Starting cups-browsed - Bonjour remote printer browsing daemon

I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions - same problem.
Computer specs - Dell XPS630i:

*

*Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 / 2.4 GHz

*XFX ATI HD 5770

*NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI chipset

*4 x 2GB Kingston DDR2

*NVIDIA nForce raid controller with 2 x 320GB raid 0 and 1 x 500GB raid 0

*Auzentech Forte 7.1 audio

A: I managed to work around it myself. Here are the steps

*

*Boot to Live CD

*Mount ubuntu partition and disable cups-browsed startup script
sudo mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_abcdefg1 /mnt
sudo chroot /mnt
mv /etc/init/cups-browsed.conf /etc/init/cups-browsed.conf.disabled
nano /etc/init/cups-browsed.conf.disabled   # comment out the code for `start on` then save the changes
exit
sudo umount /mnt
exit

*restart and boot as usual

This is not removing source of the problem, but at least I can now boot into OS.

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) attacked on Friday the weekly nonviolent protest against the Israeli Apartheid Wall and the illegal Israeli settlements in Bil'in village, west of Ramallah, and in Ni'lin village, causing many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation and many others were also injured, according to local sources.
In Bil'in, the IOF assaulted locals residents, Israeli and international peace activists as they marched from the center of the village, chanting for ending the illegal occupation of Palestine, and the establishment of the independent Palestinian state.
According to locals, the protesters raised Palestinian and Algerian flags, chanted against terrorism in various parts of the world, and expressed solidarity with the Belgian people, and all nations suffering from terrorism.
In Ni'lin, the IOF used excessive force against the nonviolent protesters, who were also holding the weekly procession against the Apartheid Wall and illegal settlements.
According to locals, the IOF fired dozens of gas bombs, causing scores of residents to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation, especially targeting many homes and cars in the village.
In addition, in Bethlehem and in Kafr Qaddoum town, east of Qalqilia, the Palestinian youth clashed the IOF this Friday afternoon.
Several young men have been injured by Israeli soldiers after they used excessive force against them, such as a huge amount of tear gas and sprayed the protesters and many homes, with waste-water mixed with chemicals.

Select a director and develop a film festival that celebrates a small number of their works united by a common theme. Acting as a full-service agency, plan the event (location selection and programming) and design a complete visual communications campaign, including brand identity, posters, catalog, consumer products and all relevant ephemera (tickets, program, schedule).
STONED IN THE SIXTIES is a film festival that celebrates director Oliver Stone's personal and political vision of this revolutionary decade. From Kennedy's assassination to Watergate, the festival contrasts Stone's own loss of innocence with America's historic fall from grace. Deliverables include a poster series, DVD boxset packaging, program guide, commemorative retrospective book, souvenir ephemera and collectibles.
Oliver Stone is one of my favorite American film directors, but I'm not that keen on all his work. What resonates most in my mind are the six films which touch upon the 1960s: JFK (1991), PLATOON (1986), THE DOORS (1991), BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY (1989), HEAVEN & EARTH (1993), and NIXON (1995). Although they were conceived and produced in a different order, I chose to present them by story chronology. In this way a personal and passionate portrait of both Oliver Stone the young man and the American youth generation emerges.
My approach in capturing the spirit of the times was to mix metaphors. Stone shipped off to the war in Vietnam a child of the establishment and returned home a rebel. The war—not the protests against it—had radicalized him.
I combined the counterculture's vibrant tie-dye color palette with classic establishment photojournalism images of the day to emphasize this contradiction.
The poster series depicts the real life subject of each film: President John F. Kennedy, an American G.I in Vietnam, Jim Morrison, Ron Kovic, President Richard Nixon, and a Vietnamese peasant woman.
The background of each poster puts the subject in context; the Texas Book Depository looms behind Kennedy, bombs rain down on Vietnam behind Nixon.
All festival materials are issued in a U.S. Army messenger bag. Custom dog tags are used as identification for re-entry.
My Criterion Collection DVD set re-orders the six films of Stoned in the Sixties according to historical (rather than release) chronology.
I chose a single-package solution to emphasize that they be viewed in sequence as a complete body of work. The individually numbered, limited edition set comes housed inside an actual Army surplus ammunition box.
Using the war in Vietnam as a metaphor, I 'drafted' attendees into the film festival. The ticket designs are based on authentic Selective Service induction papers. Materials such as olive canvas and wire-bound field notebooks, commonplace in the military, reflect Stone's tours of duty.
I chose type that mixed establishment with counterculture. Frere-Jones' Garage Gothic provided the weight of broadside posters used to promote popular rock concerts. I then combined this with elements common to the United States military, such as typewritten text (Erik van Blokland's Trixie for FontFont) and munitions stencil stamping (L Regular, which I customized).
The project also included copious amounts of copy for the reader to pour over, so the more expressive typography needed to be countered by a very sensible and contemporary body face. I chose Spiekermann's ubiquitous Meta because of the marked contrast it provided and for its excellent readability at even the smallest point sizes.
The concept here was hippies and soldiers thrown together in a blender. Taking a cue from promotional rock concert posters, I reduced my palette to the offset printing builds of cyan, magenta and black and then pulled each hue a bit drabber. To this I added a US Army olive. I chose natural as opposed to bright white paper to print all materials, suggesting the cheaper mass printing that would have been available. Hand-rendered foxing accents the pages of the notebooks, tickets and other ephemera.

Convenient location right around corner from Radio City Music Hall. Clean and friendly.
Everything great except a noisy heater that went on and off frequently and woke us up often.
Great value and proximity hotel in NYC!
Location was great; very clean. Awesome proximity to tourist areas: Times Square, radio city music hall and broadway. Staff was friendly, courteous, prompt and responsive. We got in at 1 pm and thought to leave our luggage at the bell stand until the 4 pm check-in but was pleasantly surprised that our room was ready and available. Wonderful!
One of the elevators was not working properly; the staff person checking it our, got off the elevator without leaving instructions for how to proceed to other upper floors. Luckily my husband knew what to do.


I'm a convicted felon. Can I apply to become a Florida notary?
It depends. Have you had your civil rights restored?
If you have ever been convicted of a felony charge, you must have your civil rights restored in order to be eligible for a notary commission, pursuant to Article VI, section 4(a) of the Florida Constitution.

I can't spend all my time writing about the pipeline or I'll end up depressed. There's lots to talk about in Cameroon…and one thing I can't resist is the food. Cameroonian food is delicious. I say it's the best in Africa. Of course, I should say it's the best African cuisine I know, but I don't think I'll find better.
Cameroon has some 250 ethnic groups, each with its special dishes, and that alone makes for an extremely varied cuisine. Then, there's such an abundance of great ingredients: the markets are jammed with a vast array of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, beans, tubers, peppers, spices — a profusion of colors and perfumes. Cameroon produces coffee, tea and chocolate. Fishermen bring in a variety of fish, seafood and shellfish everyday.
Even the country's name is connected to food: According to legend, when Portuguese explorers arrived at the mouth of the Wouri River (site of Douala today) in the 15th century, they were so amazed by the quantities of shrimp in the water that they called the place Rio de Camarões ("River of Shrimps"), which later became Cameroon.
Cameroonians also love food, eating and drinking. Cameroonians' love of food, combined with the French colonial experience, results in lots of restaurants. This is really a country where you'll have no trouble finding a good place to eat, although the food and restaurant culture is somewhat different in Cameroon's two Anglophone provinces.
One of Cameroon's signature dishes is Ndole. Ndole are bitter leaves, which are hard to find and expensive outside of Cameroon and Nigeria. People sometimes prepare Ndole with other greens, but if you don't use the Ndole leaves, there's really no point — it's not the same! The leaves are blanched and squeezed dry several times to reduce the bitterness. They're then cooked with a bit of palm or other oil, onions, garlic, ginger, chili peppers, ground seeds (egusi) and seasonings. Ndole, like many dishes, is often cooked over a wood fire, so it has a slight, smoky flavor that mixes deliciously with the bitterness of the leaves. Ndole is typically served with meat or fish and plantains (steamed or fried), miondo (fermented manioc paste wrapped and steamed in banana leaves) or rice.
Ndole is the first dish I want to eat when I arrive in Cameroon. You can find good Ndole in many places. My first plate of Ndole this trip was in Yaounde, at La Saveur. The restaurant is cute, affordable and the Ndole is wonderful.
More elections in Cameroon. Does anyone care?

I have heard so much about Camerounian food! Glad to have tuned into your blog when that was the subject. Just reading what you wrote puts me there. Hungry.
Yea,Lolis Elie you really need to go to Cameroon. We have the best dishes in Africa.

Bangalore, April 26 2017: The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), the umbrella association for traders in the country has raised concerns about the impact on certain clauses of the Goods and Services Tax Law on small businesses. These businesses traditionally suffer from uneven cash flows but are largely compliant. If availability of input tax credit is linked to payment of tax by their supplier, it will worsen the situation for these small businesses.
Says CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal: "The trading community and other small businesses will undoubtedly benefit from the single tax regime. However, the provisions in the law to do with input tax credit availability if not corrected will be detrimental to their survival."
Earlier this year, Tally Solutions rolled out Release 5.5, the latest version of the its Tally.ERP9 suites, with GST ready features for majority of Indian states. The ERP9 series is designed to empower businesses to be fully tax compliant, ensuring that tax returns reflect the books of helps businesses with simpler, easier and quicker compliance. Since its release in July 2015, Release 5 series has already been made available 24 States across the country.
|India has nearly 8 million registered businesses under the VAT regime, of which 90 percent are SMEs, and while GST will apply to all businesses with a turnover of Rs 20 lakh or more (Rs 10 lakh in case of NE states), It will be a tougher task for SMEs, compared to their larger counterparts, to move to the new regime, feels Bikky Khosla of SME Times.
He adds: "SMEs are facing an uphill task while getting ready for GST. Unlike their large counterparts, they lack financial muscles, but the new regime will require them -- besides getting down to the nitty-gritty of migrating to the new regime -- to invest in IT systems, engage more manpower to follow-up with suppliers, automate accounting and inventory management, and align their invoice according to the new prescribed rules."

Welcome to the D.C. Access to Justice Commission
The D.C. Access to Justice Commission was created by the D.C. Court of Appeals in 2005 to help improve the ability of low- and moderate- income residents to access the civil justice system. The Commission is also responsible for raising awareness in our community of the need for equal access to justice.
Raising the Bar in D.C.
Through Raising the Bar in D.C., the Commission recognizes top D.C. law firms that provide financial support to organizations delivering vital civil legal services to District residents in need.
Public Funding for Civil Legal Services
The Commission advocates each year for the Access to Justice Initiative, a District public funding program that gives critical support to the civil legal services network.
The Commission is grateful to have many partners across the D.C. legal community who share a commitment to helping those most in need. You too can play an important part in making equal access to justice a reality.

As teachers we know there are always going to be topics that are challenging to make fun or interactive.
Grammar can be incredibly dry and tedious if you allow it to be, but with a little inventiveness, you can be sure that each and every time you approach a grammar lesson, you have an arsenal of engaging activities. One of the best ways to get inspired is to let pictures do the work for you. These 5 unique ways to practice grammar using pictures will serve you indefinitely because you can adapt them, recycle them and make them your own in many different ways.
The first thing you need to do immediately is get your hands on a stack of twenty to thirty magazines. Some of the best choices are those that use thick paper, vivid images, and approach a variety of topics. Magazines like: O, National Geographic, Martha Stewart Living, Cosmo, Glamour, etc. will serve you really well. Take some time and compile all different categories of pictures including: famous people, people doing things, pictures of the home, street scenes, animals, food, rooms in the home, odd cartoons, diverse people and groups of people, interesting and colorful objects, etc. I recommend gluing them to construction paper and laminating them if you have the option. You will get years of use of them and continue to add to them as time goes on.
People pictures should be number one on your list as you will use them the most for activities. There are so many ways you can use people pictures, there is no way to list them all. Here are some ideas to get you started. 20 questions with famous people (is it a man? is he a singer?); describing people using picture; what are they doing; What happened or what is happening? Create a story from the picture; write the sequence of a story for the picture and share.
There are numerous ways you can utilize pictures of people in the ESL classroom. Try out different activities with different levels to create your toolbox of go-to exercises.
You can also do a lot with cartoons, news pictures, or oddly-themed pictures. Have the students write their own captions to create a punch line. You can utilize news stories or current events and have them write short captions that tell what is happening in the picture using a reporter tone. I have even used Calvin and Hobbs by whiting out all the dialogue and ask students to fill in their own dialogue and/or captions. You can give them perimeters or you can leave it wide open. Think beyond what is happening in this picture. Challenge their critical thinking skills and creativity for powerful results.
Cut-up stories can be a lot of fun with pictures. You can practice things like sequence, directions, story-telling, and various tenses with cut-up stories. Essentially it is a puzzle made of photographs. Have a stack of 8-10 photographs that are related so that they can be put in some kind of order (sequence, what happened, solve a crime, etc.). Put the students in small groups and have them examine the pictures. Tell them what the goal is. For example, tell a story by putting these 7 pictures into an order. Give the people names and don't just tell me the obvious, use your imagination and create a fictional story. For a lower level, it could be something like this: there are 10 pictures in your envelope. Each envelope shows a different activity being done and you need to put them order and describe each of the steps. Examples could be making a cup of tea, making a sandwich, how to take the bus, etc. What you choose will be based on what topic(s) you would like them to practice.
This is a fun picture activity that can be approached for low intermediate or above. You can use more abstract pictures or artwork for this activity. Take a variety of photographs that are 8x 10 or larger and paste them on either construction paper or cardboard. You will then want to cover up most of the picture using squares of paper.
I tend to do this on the board with magnets, but you could also use double-sided tape. You'll want to be able to pull off each square easily. This is essentially a guessing game where they should be asking a lot of questions. You want them to determine what the picture or piece of artwork is with only a limited peek at the photograph. If students don't have any guess, reveal a little more and have them ask more questions. Continue until the entire picture is revealed or someone answers. You can vary this activity by doing it in smaller groups and by applying it to different language lessons.
This activity is often a favorite of students. It is Pictionary on steroids and much more challenging. The best grammar activities to use this for are: there is/there are, prepositions of place or direction combined with house vocabulary, or what is happening in the picture. Put the students into pairs and give each student a picture, face down. Tell them to take a turn describing their picture to their partner with several sentences and descriptions. The partner has to draw what their partner tells them. For example, their partner says, "This is a picture of a kitchen. In the kitchen on the right hand side there is a big refrigerator. Next to the fridge there is a long cabinet. On top of the cabinet there is a vase with flowers. " You'll want to monitor how much concrete information they are giving and let the partner know that they can ask clarifying questions. After a few minutes have them switch. At the end of the activity, you can debrief as a class by looking at the original picture and comparing it the one that was drawn.

When Walt Disney sets his sights on obtaining the rights to the children's classic "Mary Poppins," he reaches out to the book's author, P.L. Travers, only to find that she proves a tough nut to crack.
Parents need to know that while Saving Mr. Banks is about the making of a classic family movie, some of the topics -- alcoholism, suicide, and a difficult childhood -- might be tough for younger kids to handle. While there are plenty of lighthearted moments to entertain tween and teen viewers, the surprisingly sad moments can be a bit jarring -- including a very sick man on his deathbed and a woman attempting suicide in front of her daughter. Parents should consider whether kids are ready for these subjects -- or if they'd even enjoy a movie that bounces back and forth between silly and serious.
A woman almost commits suicide by walking into a river in front of her daughter. A man argues loudly with his co-worker within earshot of his child. A sick man is shown in bed, hacking up blood.
"Damn" and "hell" are as rough as it gets here.
To some degree, the idea that sticking to one's principles is more important than money or fame is part of the story. Also, that it's important to find a way to heal from past emotional wounds.
The entire film promotes the classic Disney movie Mary Poppins, as well as the commercial aspects of the Disney empire, though it's all in a historical context.
A father can't control his cravings for alcohol and literally drinks himself to death, leaving his family in despair. Walt Disney is a secret cigarette smoker.

Quebecor extends telework for its employees until the end of the year
August 26, 2020 Update August 26, 2020
Montréal, August 26, 2020 – Putting the health and safety of its employees, their families and the public first, Quebecor has decided to have employees who can work from home with no loss of effectiveness continue teleworking until the end of the year. Quebecor is therefore extending the teleworking arrangements introduced at all of its subsidiaries in March. Quebecor continues to closely monitor developments. It will reassess the situation as appropriate and adjust its practices accordingly, in line with the guidance from public health.
Supporting the collective effort
The Quebecor family is keenly aware of its responsibilities in this situation and has shown solidarity since the beginning of the pandemic by implementing an array of initiatives to support its employees, customers and partners. For example, Quebecor has assisted Food Banks of Québec, in cooperation with the Fondation Chopin-Péladeau. It distributed more than 1,000 Videotron mobile devices to the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal, youth rehabilitation centres and long-term care facilities. The show Une chance qu'on s'a, which aired on TVA and Télé-Québec in collaboration with the Government of Québec, raised $2 million for SOS Violence conjugale and Les Petits Frères. Videotron was the first to remove data caps on all residential and business Internet plans and cancelled roaming charges abroad. TVA unscrambled its all-news channel LCN and its youth channel Yoopa. Finally, in a show of loyalty and gratitude to its temporarily laid-off employees, Quebecor set up a $500,000 emergency fund and introduced financial assistance and support measures providing up to 95% of salary in some cases.

The Investment Approach
Military-style Activity Camp (MAC) Programme Snapshot
Description of the MAC programme
Reoffending has reduced
MAC programme reoffending rates are similar to or slightly better than reoffending rates for non-MAC participants sentenced to a custodial order (SwR)
MAC is contributing to educational/vocational achievement
Some young people make a successful transition to the community
What could be improved upon?
The Military-style Activity Camp (MAC) programme is a promising programme designed to provide intensive support to the most serious and persistent youth offenders each year in New Zealand
This snapshot outlines the findings from an evaluation of the Military-style Activity Camp (MAC) programme undertaken by the Knowledge & Insights Group, Ministry of Social Development. The MAC programme, introduced in October 2010 as part of the Government's Fresh Start reforms, targets 40 of the most serious and persistent youth offenders in New Zealand each year who are on the cusp of entering the adult jurisdiction. MACs are delivered in partnership by Child, Youth and Family (CYF) and the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF).
The evaluation, carried out between February and June 2013, identifies parts of the MAC programme that are working well or not so well and examines early evidence regarding the overall effectiveness of the MAC programme. The evaluation uses several methods of data collection, including qualitative interviews with residential and community-based staff and a small number of young people; an analysis of CYF administration data; in-depth case studies of four young people; and a reoffending outcomes analysis for MAC participants six months and 12 months after completion of their Supervision with Residence (SwR) orders.
The MAC programme was designed to provide intensive wraparound support to 40 of the most serious and persistent young male offenders each year to assist them to make pro-social choices (eg not reoffending) and ultimately make a successful transition to adulthood.
The programme includes:
a nine-week MAC residential programme based in Christchurch. This utilises NZDF adventure-based learning facilities, combining military-type activities as part of a broader residential intervention programme, which includes therapeutic and educational interventions.
transition back into the community, on a Supervision order. When released from residence, each young person must serve a Supervision order of between six and 12 months duration with ongoing support by a social-service provider. The development of a plan to return the young person to the community, and the successful implementation of that plan, is crucial to the overall effectiveness of the MAC programme.
The MAC programme appears to be achieving promising results in terms of reducing reoffending for high risk young people. The latest monitoring figures show that as of August 2013, 42 MAC participants had graduated from the MAC programme and been back in the community for at least 12 months.[1] Of this group:
seventeen per cent (7) had not reoffended at all
thirty-one per cent (13) had received a custodial sentence of Supervision with Residence (SwR) or prison.
[1] Young people need to be back in the community for sufficient time to make measuring their reduction of reoffending meaningful. The evaluation report conducted by the Knowledge & Insights Group, Ministry of Social Development, captures data through to June 2013.
Comparing the 12 months after the MACs to the 12 months before for these 42 young people:
eighty-three per cent (35) reduced the frequency of their offending
seventy-six per cent (32) reduced the seriousness of their offending.
The total number of crimes committed by the 42 MAC participants halved from 660 offences in the 12 months before the MACs to 325 offences in the 12 months after exiting the residence (a reduction of 335 or 51 per cent if they had continued to offend at the same rate):
eighty per cent (259) were committed by half (17) of the 35 MAC graduates who reoffended. The other 18 reoffenders committed a total of 66 offences between them.
the total number of robbery-related offences committed by the 42 MAC participants reduced by 64 per cent, while the number of offences involving acts intended to cause injury dropped by 25 per cent.
seven MAC participants did not reoffend within 12 months, while a further three committed one offence, and five others committed two offences.
of the eight young people who committed one or two offences in the 12 months after the MAC, six committed minor offences with no direct physical harm to any member of the public. Examples of such offences were breach of a local liquor-ban, a learner driver being unaccompanied and a graffiti offence.
For 172 young males sentenced to SwR orders (but who did not attend the MAC), in the 12 months after release:
eleven per cent (19) did not reoffend
thirty per cent (51) received a custodial sentence.
Comparing the 12 months after the SwR orders to the 12 months before:
seventy-two per cent (123) reduced the frequency of their offending
seventy-seven per cent (133) reduced the seriousness of their offending.
Analysis shows that the average risk of reoffending for MAC participants is notably higher than for other male offenders sentenced to a SwR order and who did not participate in a MAC. Given the higher average risk of MAC participants, the fact that their recidivism rates are similar to or slightly better than reoffending rates for non-MAC participants sentenced to SwR, may indicate that the MAC programme is making a positive difference.
At the moment we can state that the MAC programme is producing some promising results in terms of reduced recidivism. However, the small numbers who have completed the programme so far mean that it's too early to say that these results are statistically significant. The impact of the MAC programme on recidivism results will be formally tested through a robust statistical analysis by the end of 2014.
The MAC programme also attempts to help young people develop in positive and pro-social ways. Educational and vocational achievements for participants within MACs Three to Eight include:
twenty-six of the forty-seven young people were able to achieve NCEA Level 1 credits, including a small number who also achieved Level 2 credits
twenty-five of the young people achieved a total of 108 numeracy-related Level 1 credits between them, and 16 achieved a total of 39 literacy-related credits
Level 2 credits were achieved in the areas of computing; business administration; and building, construction and allied trades skills
all MAC participants sat their OSH Forklift certification and almost all of them passed
all MAC participants sat and passed their Site Safe building construction passport enabling them to work on construction sites
eleven MAC participants sat their learner licence test.
Around one in five young people graduating from the MAC programme had a successful transition back into the community. They had not reoffended in over 12 months or had committed only a single offence of a minor nature. These young people were often living in a different location from before the MAC programme, with a supportive member of their wider family, and also had another adult in their lives for support, such as a mentor.
The critical areas on which to focus attention are the selection and referral process and the community phase of the MAC programme. Some improvements could also be made to the residential phase.
Short to medium term operational improvements include to:
refine the matching processes to ensure that MAC programme participants are those most likely to benefit from the MAC intervention
intensify monitoring practices to ensure that all young people attending the MAC have an initial needs assessment which is reviewed at key points in the programme
ensure that every young person transitions with an individualised, fully-funded, achievable plan. This plan will be linked to the assessed needs of the young person and will be reviewed at key points following the transition. Better monitoring and sign-off processes will also be introduced.
These proposed short- to medium-term operational improvements are consistent with the MAC programme design and will strengthen the programmes implementation and use. Many of the operational improvements have already started to be implemented and monitored.
The MAC experience can offer learning that can also benefit SwR orders generally and improve transitions to the community from youth justice residences which is also a key strategy for the Youth Crime Action Plan.
Observations following the evaluation suggested further areas of longer-term policy work that could strengthen the overall design of the programme. These include:
Residential phase
addressing the lack of integration and clear purpose to some components in the nine week residential phase. An investigation will take place into whether there should be consolidation or a reduction in the number of components to ensure that each component can have optimum benefit to MAC participants, and programme elements are matched to individualised needs
determining the most suitable approach to the criminogenic programme.
Community transitions
continuing to develop, monitor and improve options for a more structured and staged transition between the MAC programme residential and community phases to ensure the gains from the programme are maintained
strengthening strategies both during the residential phase and the community phase to ensure MAC participants engage in further education and training (including some form of tertiary education) and to prepare them for the workforce
bolstering the support and involvement of whänau from the time a young person is being referred to the MAC programme through to the transition back to the community.
exploring options to provide the MAC programme as part of a Supervision with Activity order. This is to prevent unnecessary escalation of some young people to a youth justice residence to be able to participate in the programme as well as prevent some of the difficulties with transition from residence
monitoring when there are sufficient volumes to undertake a matched-control analysis for MAC to get statistically significant results (It is estimated that this will be near the end of 2014).

Q: SQL NOT LIKE returning all rows instead of dissimilarities I have two tables, with 2 PKs. Table 1 has 478 records. Field 1 is a unique ID for that table only. Table 1 field 2 is a ID (shared with table 2) and 3rd field is a category field. IDs from field 2 can be repeated within a table, but I cannot have ID+category twice.
I have a 2nd table, that contains 757 records. It has a ID column and a category column (such as table1) and I want to know which records from table 1 are included on table 2. By the moment I am just checking which IDs are included in both tables (I want to clean up the database so I can use an AND query to obtain ID + category)
My SQL query does not return the desired result. When I do
SELECT DISTINCT(table1.field1) FROM table1, table2 WHERE table1.ID = table2.ID;
I get all the results that do match, but, when I do the opposite
SELECT table1.field1 FROM table1, table2 WHERE table1.ID != table2.ID;
SQL gives all the rows from table 1, when, the expected outcome would be
total rows from table 1 - IDs that do match with the ones at table 2
I've tried to invert the order in which the query is displayed as:
SELECT table1.field1 FROM table1, table2 WHERE table2.ID != table1.ID;
But then a loop occurs and I get 36000+ results which is, of course, impossible (I imagine that checking a bigger record table against a smaller one makes the small one loop over and over, and seeing that I get the full table all the time, the loop is Xtimes478, hence the 36000+ results).
I have checked this matched/unmatched query using R (just for testing) and I got 170 matches (that I can obtain in SQL) and 308 "not coincident" results (170+308=478, so I imagine it makes sense even if I am using R instead of a proper relational database system)
How can I search for unmatched IDs in a query rather than checking for matched ones and substracting from total? How to get the 308 records that do not match?

A: If you want values in table 1 that are not in table 2, then use not exists or something similar:
select t1.*
from table1 t1
where not exists (select 1 from table2 where t2.id = t1.id);

5-COMMUNICATION-What do you believe in and how can you communicate that most effectively? You say more by saying less. Be authentic and genuine. We all can learn a lot and do a better job with this. Style never displaces substance. you have to avoid the situation where your team says…"Pass me the hemlock please". You have to work on your communication skills all the time-you always can improve. You deploy the right style with the right audience , then tailor the message-length, style, substance.
Are leaders and great communicators born or made? I get this question a lot. I believe that lots of leadership skills that can be learned. Even if you are not wired that way-you can get over that.
1-Before you say anything that is emotionally charged, ask yourself "Is what I am about to say necessary?" I have to ask you…If you sit in meetings, how much commentary would not pass that test? Ask yourself, "Will what I am about to say advance the discussion, add a new dimension that matters and is relevant and important OR is what I have to say a regurgitation of what others have said?" If what you want to say needs to be backed up, it is necessary. But if it is argumentative for sake of disagreeing, you don't do it. This works in families as well.
2-Is what I am about to say, kind? I mean this in an exploratory and inquiry based way, not sugar and spice. How you say things is more important than what you are going to say. Will you say it in the right way and will it be constructive or destructive? How many times have we seen a relevant point delivered in the wrong way?

Christine Assange (CA), the mother of Julian Assange was interviewed by Dennis Bernstein (DB) and Randy Credico (RC) on 'Live on the fly' in New York on the 5th April 2018.
For a brief summary of the lead up to Julian Assange's complete isolation, no visitors, no phone and no internet see Free Wikileaks' Julian Assange
Transcript of interview
DB: Dennis Bernstein with Randy Credico on 'Live on the Fly' coming out of New York City, and we're joined by Christine Assange. Lets just say she is somewhere very far away in Australia.
Christine Assange, it's good to have you back again. We were hoping that this would be the occasion on which we would be celebraiting, and we'd have Julian on the other line, but that's not happening.
You wanna bring us up to speed as much as you know, about where the situation is now and the kinds of details you think will help us to understand what's going on and welcome back.
CA: Thank you, Dennis and thank you Randy for having me, and thank you for being good journalists in getting all this stuff out to the people.
And a thank you to John Pilger, who is always great to listen to about truth, and a wonderful supporter of Julian, a courageous investigative journalist. They know that the greatest investigative journalists around the world are standing up for Julian, and like he said,
"the propaganda journalists / the fake news, are the ones pumping out the smear."
Now John mentioned that we are at a critical stage, you know, possibly pre-war with Russia, because of the propaganda based around the Skripal poisoning in the UK, which has since been found not to be conclusively related to Russia. And all the diplomats being dispelled.
Now I would say, we are also at a critical stage for Julian's safety and freedom. They come in together, and they are co-related.
For example, just before Julian's complete communications with the outside world, were cut off, the day before, one of the lords in the UK Parliament, stated,
"Isn't it about time, we took some action against the Ecuador embassy"
and that he wasn't happy about Assange tweeting about the government's response to the attack in Salisbury.
Now Julian was just merely tweeting facts. And of course, because Julian is known as a journalist who bravely tweets facts, that is very threatening to corrupt power. And the next day his communications were cut off.
And as I've said since then, what he said, his doubts about what the UK Government, have come to fruition, and the Lab in Porton Down has categorically stated, there is no evidence to connect Russia with that Skripal attack.
At the same time, what was happening at the same time, was Julian was also invited to give evidence on Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. And the Facebook shares were down 20% and the NASDAQ was down 3-5% affecting the whole U.S. market and global market. So is it a coincidence that also, not only was he tweeting about the Skripal poisoning, but at the same time he is about to give evidence.
And Cambridge Analytica, of course, is then tied into all sorts of dirty plays around trying to defame politicians.
At the same time, we've got major delegations from the U.S. military and economic agencies going into Ecuador, and we've got no doubt whatsoever, there is incredible pressure on Ecuador to hand Julian over to the U.S..
We know this, because during the Presidency of Rafael Correa, who gave Julian political asylum from U.S. threats against his life and liberty, that it was revealed by the former UK Ambassador, Craig Murray, that the mainly Pentagon funds – up to $87 million – were being used to try and bring down Rafael Correa, which has now happened.
Well, he had to leave the Party because he'd done his term, but now there's pressure on the new President, Lenin Moreno.
And although we were sort of hopeful prior to Trump getting in, with his "we love Wikileaks", because Wikileaks was publishing the truth about the corruption coming from the DNC and Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton of "can't we just drone Assange?"
But by April 2017, the U.S. was firmly in a position of wanting to go after Julian. They were all on side, like Pompeo April 13th 2017 who connected the Non-State Hostile Intelligence Services. He also said, Julian Assange has no first amendment freedoms, he is not a U.S. citizen.
Now he's been promoted from the CIA to Secretary of State. Jeff Sessions around the same time, April, he's wants to arrest Julian Assange once and for all.
You've got John Bolton, who was then appointed National Security Adviser, who, March 8th 2017, said that the US government should launch a cyber war attack against Wikileaks, for revealing the Clinton's emails and the CIA hacking scandal.
And looking back, President Trump in 2010, commented on a Wikileaks exposay,
"I think it's disgraceful, there should be a death penalty or something."
So there is no doubt that what is actually happening, is that the US wants to shut Julian up. They want to shut him up about corruption, that their allies are cooperating and that everybody is leaning on Ecuador.
DB: Well, that was the voice of Christian Assange, she's the mother of Julian Assange, a long-time activist, now she's active, and …
CA: Can I just correct you with that one, Dennis.
DB: Yes, please, go ahead.
CA: I'm not a long-time activist, I'm an accidental activist.
DB: …and with a growing role, in battling for your son's freedom, as things intensify, and you have taken on that role and done an amazing job. And I think, those of us who believe in journalism and the free flow of information, I really can appreciate your struggle and want to know as much about it as we can.
I mean it is no surprise to Randy and I, that there would be every move made to shut down Julian Assange, right now, in the context of what's going on with the Salisbury scandal and the way in which really, the Clinton machine has fanned this Russia-gate flame. And that crew, really willing to risk World War 3 to prove that Hillary Clinton didn't lose the campaign because she was a horrifying candidate.
CA: Yes, well also, Julian also very bravely, as a good journalist should, reporting factually on what was going on in Catalonia, which was absolutely disgraceful.
I mean you don't have to support either side or Catalonia, to be against the brutal crackdown of their democratic rights.
And, according to Ecuador, the reason they gave for cutting off all his communication – internet, phone and visitor access – was because of the one tweet which was actually a factual tweet about the political prisoner, the elected President of Catalonia.
Now he had previously been reporting factually, where a lot of the world's media had taken the side of Spain.
And, the word 'fascism' is loosely used….. I'm not happy with the way it is being used, it is used against everybody. But I think we can say, that the Spanish oppression of Catalonia can be seen as nothing more than the classical term of fascism. And that should be resisted worldwide in any country. And leaders of supposed "free" democracies should be standing up against this abuse.
DB: I know Randy is dying to jump in here. Randy?
RC: Hello! Yes, Good morning! I know it's morning where you are, wherever you are, Christine. It's Randy Credico here.
You know you were talking about Catalonia and the arrest by Germany of President Puigdmont of Catalonia. And Julian Assange did tweet something out, he was talking about that again. And you know, the Germans listened.
Today they released Puigdmont and will not extradite him to Spain!
So he does have an effect.
Thousands of people were protesting in Germany, because of the arrest of Puigdmont and they were embarrassed. And so this is the kind of journalism they don't like. So I don't know, if its…here are three things:
That happened, that tweet. Also he started talking about Salisbury.
Dennis and I had Craig Murray on the show two weeks ago and he was way ahead of his time on this. And Julian was talking about this. And then this guy in the house of lords, Sir Alan Duncan, comes out and says some nasty things, and said he should be shut up. So these things all happened within days, and then they cut him off.
What is the connection there?
CA: Oh! Well, the connection is power, isn't it? They are a power alliance.
I mean let's not mince words here. The struggle for freedom throughout the world in every country, for all our ancestors, there've been people struggles against corrupt power. That's what it is.
We're at a point now, where we need the people power.
I like a quote from George Orwell, if there is any hope, it lies in the proles. That's us. That's the ordinary people.
Throughout history, it's not been, generally speaking, it has not been the leaders of our country that actually ensure our rights. It's usually the leaders of the country that are preventing our rights and entrenching power. It's the people who stand up, particularly in democracies, where they can have some sort of a voice, and demand that their leaders act in their interests.
I think, we're at this critical point in our history again here…. we always get it, we are defending liberty. It's a constant battle.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, as one of the U.S. Presidents said.
As John Pilger has said, we are facing a possible global war, and at the same time, a war on journalism, because obviously they don't want truthful journalism coming out and stopping any attempts at stopping a lucrative war for defence contractors.
So I think, we have to now step it up, the people have to step it up. While we must continue to do petitions….there are three that have gone to the President of Ecuador:
One was delivered by a group of ex-CIA, NSA and FBI officers, supporting Julian, delivered by John Kiriakou. Another one was delivered by World Leading Thinkers. And we have one started by the Landless Workers Movement in Brazil, which was a people initiated organization, covering many countries in the Spanish speaking world.
Ok, those are three important petitions. Very important. Alright. But it is also important to get involved in action.
Straight after Julian was silenced, his supporters rallied all around the world, there was a ten hour vigil, an internet vigil, under the #reconnentJulian hashtag, with truthful investigative journalists worldwide and people, free speech, human rights people, ordinary people, all joined together to put worldwide pressure, to stop the U.S. leaning on Ecuador to silence Julian.
DB: Is that still going?
CA: Well, yes..
RC: It's an online vigil that resumes this week. I know that Suzie Dawson is spearheading that and I'm going to participate in that 48 hour online vigil coming this weekend.
Last time you were on, Christine, you said to me and Dennis, that we need Wikileaks' warriors, not Wikileaks' worriers! So how does that hard core following of his maintain being warriors at this point?
CA: Good question! Alright. Well, that vigil brought together various people from all around the world, who had individually been speaking up and supporting and defending Julian.
They are now, we are, we are all now working together in a network, to get up a global network of people for the ordinary citizens who haven't yet been involved but are concerned for Julian's welfare and safety, to quickly access Assange Action.
And we've got up one at the moment, just one Twitter handle: #AssangeAction which will be mirrored in countries around the world.
The #reconnectJulian hashtag and #unifyforJA hashtag will also make inroads to awaken more contacts right now. But we will be building on this, and we need to take it to the streets.
In the same way that any change happens in a country, it's the people going out into the streets, telling their leaders they are not going to vote for them if they continue down this path of suppressing the media, suppressing the people's rights to the truth, abusing human rights of award winning investigative journalists who give us the truth.
Now a good example of on the street action is the historic long term vigil outside the Ecuadorian Embassy by UK citizens with Ciaron O'Reilly. It's been going for years, nearly six years. And people can visit that vigil, any time they want.
If you are in London, go to: 3 Han Crescent, Knightsbridge, London SW1X OLS
Go by Tube to: Knightsbridge, via the Piccadilly line.
Get out there and stand outside the Ecuadorian Embassy with your placard. There are official vigils four times a week, under the hashtag #JA_defence. It's next to Harrods. Now that is something you can do that is already set up. Ok.
If you are in Australia, follow Support Assange & Wikileaks Coalition @SAWCSydney – that's already been up for years.
Now the thing is here, Randy, there was a lot of activity worldwide in defence of Julian, and action prior to him going into the Ecuadorian Embassy because he was of imminent risk of extradition to the U.S. via Sweden through their backdoor treason of temporary surrender.
We are very grateful to Ecuador. Ecuador stepped up when none of the others would. They showed sovereignty, principles, ethics and courage in protecting Julian from the U.S., and this went on for several years. They were pestering Ecuador, but they stood strong.
But now with the change of leadership and a problem in the Government and a split in the Party, they now are coming under extreme pressure, and the Ecuadorian Government appears to be wavering. It is critically dangerous for Julian. And because this has happened, now people around the world who were feeling ok, well he's safe, are now galvanizing and organizing actions.
DB: 30 seconds… we have an outgoing message to Moreno Ok, in 30 seconds, what is your message to him?
CA: Message to Lenin Moreno
"Stand up for the sovereignty of your country. You've got a wonderful country, a fabulous constitution. It is a template for democracy throughout the world. Don't let down Ecuador. Don't let down Julian. Don't let down free press, because the constitution backs free press. Stand strong. The people will stand with you.
Be remembered for the President who carried on Democracy in Ecuador, when it stood strong and tall and didn't cave. You will be remembered for this. Don't be remembered for the President who rolled over for yet another U.S. coup of a South American country."
DB: Perfect. We thank you Christine Assange, Randy Credico in New York. I'm Dennis Bernstein. That wraps it up!

Very early in his childhood he was very ambitious and it has definitely paid off. He trained hard to become very good. There was no doubt that he was talent in a very young age. Tonny Carlsen was only 12 years old when he debuted in the best league – the Division in Denmark. When he was 19 years old he became winner of the The Danish Championship.

Tonny Carlsen kept practicing billiards and he became very good. In 1990 he wins a big tournament in Belgium where he played with some of the world's greatest players. Tonny admits "It was hard to play among the most talented players but at the same time it was a very good challenge".

Tonny Carlsen has been playing billiards in many years and he still participates in big tournaments. His interest in the sport is still growing. This is also one of the reasones he developed the interactive billiard system. He had the idea above 18 years ago where he tested different equipment and possibilities. The effects of technological advancement makes it possible now. And the product is not expensive as it could be if it was developed years ago. It took him three years to develop the system and he has invested lots of time and money into this.
