Status: Referred to Senate Committee on Health Policy.
Broad definition which could result in any service being denied such as vaccines or blood transfusions.
Pertains to an entire institution, not just individuals.

Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011
HR 185 (LaFontaine) A resolution to urge the President of the United States to reverse the Department of Health and Human Services regulation that employers provide health insurance that covers birth control without co-pays under the guise of "religious freedom".
Status: Passed out of House Committee on Government Operations on 2/9/2012. Passed out of the House (67-39) on 2/9/2012.
This resolution has nothing to do with religious freedom and is an attack on birth control.
There is widespread support for this benefit, even among Catholics, and strong opposition to discriminating against women by taking away their health care coverage.

Status: Referred to House Committee on Health Policy.
Against ruling of Roe v. Wade.
Singles out physicians that provide abortion services.
So called "Partial Birth" Abortion Ban
SB 160 (Meekhof)/SB 161 (Hansen)/HB 4109 (Daley) & HB 4110 (Glardon) mirrors the federal partial birth abortion ban.
Status: Signed by Governor Snyder as PA 168 & 169 of 2011.
Already illegal on the federal level.
Prevents doctors from using their best medical judgment when treating patients.
Unnecessary and redundant legislation as there is already a federal ban.
The bills below were opposed by Planned Parenthood in Committee but Planned Parenthood changed its position and became neutral on the bills in March 2012. Michigan NOW, ACLU, ACOG, RCRC oppose the bills
Coercion to Abort
HB 4798 (Rendon), HB 4799 (Opsommer), HB 5181 (O'Brien), HB 5182 (O'Brien)creates penalties for any individual that "maliciously threatens" the life, safety, job or financial stability of a woman who is pregnant and does not want an abortion and allows her to recover damages from those who she accuses of coercion up to 3 years later. The last sentence of HB 4799 defines an unborn child as a live human being.
HB 5134 (Jenkins) amends the public health code to require the physician or qualified personnel to "orally screen" the patients seeking an abortion for coercion to abort and domestic violence.
Status: Substitute bills were reported out of House Committee on Families, Children and Seniors on 2-14-12; on 3-13-12 House passed bills 72-37 or 71-38 but IE failed. Referred to Senate Judiciary Committee.
It is already illegal to threaten or inflict physical violence against a person.
It is also illegal for an employer to fire or penalize an employee for being pregnant.
Doctors are already required to screen for domestic violence.
Doctors would be required to act as police investigators and lawyers instead of focusing on providing women's health care.
Does nothing to protect a woman from being "coerced" into carrying a pregnancy to term.

My name is Greg Gagliano, and I am the Certified Wildlife Habitat Coordinator for the Delaware Nature Society. One of the main aspects of my job is to help homeowners, schools, and communities to create environmentally-friendly landscapes that support wildlife habitat. The impacts of these efforts can be quite impressive and include an increase in biodiversity on individual properties, cleaner water runoff entering local streams, and a better connection between people and nature. The Certified Wildlife Habitat Program is an opportunity for anyone to make a positive impact on the environment right in their own backyard. Take a look at this video about the Certified Wildlife Habitat Program and let me know if you would like to have your property certified. You can reach me at (302) 239-2334 ext 142 or greg@delawarenaturesociety.org. This video was produced by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
One of the better aspects of my job is joining the Delaware Nature Society's Advanced Naturalist Club on field trips. The Club is a group of graduates from the Naturalist Certification Series that the Society offers annually, so they know each other, have a deep common interest in nature, and enjoy a bit of adventure outdoors.
In July, I accompanied the group on a field trip with Hal White, Author of "Natural History of Delmarva Dragonflies and Damselflies". Mike Moore, a University of Delaware Professor, also joined us as a leader. Mike maintains the website Delmarva Dragonflies and Damselflies. We all met up at Lums Pond State Park for to look for Odonates (dragonflies and damselflies), sometimes "Odes" for short. One thing you need to know about looking for Odes, is that you need to get your feet wet.
We waded into Lums Pond. We waded into a Delmarva Bay (small temporary wetland) near the nature center. We waded through mud and up a small creek. We bushwhacked through the woods, and shuffled up a trail in a thicket. Hal led the way, pointing out the Odes as he went. Mike stayed in the back and pointed out even more. Cameras were getting a workout, and field guides were consulted. Notes were taken. In all, it was a naturalists heaven.
Here is a skin of a dragonfly that had emerged recently from a small wetland near the Lums Pond Nature Center. It is kind of like a cicada skin on a tree. Photo by Joe Sebastiani.
After a few hours at Lums Pond, we decided to go to a very unique wetland in the C&D Canal Wildlife Area. It is located in an area where they dumped lots of soil and debris when the canal was built. The wetland is a shallow, mucky, sedge meadow with some standing water and tons of dragonflies and damselflies. We followed Hal and Mike into the waters once again, keeping clear of deeper spots that we were told had "quicksand". No need to tell us twice about that!
It was a great day out, and it really nudged me to become better at the identification of Odonates. Our Club got a new appreciation for the Dragonflies and Damselflies, age-old predators that are fascinating to watch, photograph, and enjoy.
Register for the Naturalist Certification Series which will begin in March 2014. The class explores eight topics in nature including insects, and students learn through a lecture and field trip for each topic. After you graduate from the Series, you can join the Advanced Naturalist Club!

Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Malacca situated at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock also known as Heeren Street or Millionaire row. The museum actually is the house belongs to wealth Baba Nyonya family. The house was built somewhere 1895 during the British rules Malacca. Baba Nyonya house also known as Rumah Abu (Ancestral Home) was kept secret from the outside world until today. Most of the Baba Nyonya house have a size about 20 feet width and 180 feet long. Due of the length of the house, the air well was built at the middle of the house to allow a better air circulation. The visitor is not allowed to take any picture or video recording during your tour to Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum Malacca.
The idea to established Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum came from Mr. Chan Kim Lay who has the opportunity to visit few museum at overseas. Although his idea was opposed by the Baba Nyonya community for revealing the Baba Nyonya house to the public, it did not dampen his desire to share the history and the way of life of Baba Nyonya Malacca descent to the world. In here tourist able to see the original actual design and layout of the house, the mosaic and oil lamp was import from United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Victoria, Chinese Porcelain, Chinese traditional wedding ceremony and the fine art. We encourage tourist go for guided tour to better understand Baba Nyonya Malacca Culture rather visiting the Museum by own.
Go there before 12.00noon. Free guided tour before the lunch break is around 12.05 pm. After lunch the museum will crowded with group from school children and foreign tourist.


Rahul Yadav, the controversial CEO of Housing.com, has been fired by the board, bringing and end to his tumultuous tenure as CEO.
In a board meeting on Wednesday at Housing.com's headquarters in Mumbai, the company cited his "behaviour towards investors, partners and the media" as the reasons for his ouster. "The board believed that his behaviour is not befitting of a CEO and is detrimental to the company," person aware of what transpired at the board meet told the Economic Times.
Yadav will have no further ties with the company. He was reportedly asked to leave the premises after the announcement. Anticipating disturbances, the lawyers for main investor SoftBank had called in the local police to help in case of any resistance by Yadav, but he left without any incident.
ET had earlier reported that Rahul had voluntarily quit a week ago, but that news had been mocked by Yadav.
This time Rahul Yadav appeared to have accepted the board's position, with this Facebook post.

Cheshire police launch anti-drinking computer game as part of campaign
CHESHIRE police have launched an interactive computer game to help tackle the drinking culture among young people.
The 'Don't Let Drink Drive You' game is part of a long-term approach to tackling alcohol-related incidents.
The players have to use their skills to escape a series of mazes. Anti-drinking messages appear during the game to influence the player's behaviour.
But with obstacles along the way and just 60 seconds to make it out of the mazes, and avoiding the beer – which blurs your vision – time is against you.
A spokesman said: "By blurring your vision, this affects your judgement and ability to play, as in real life where alcohol can change your behaviour, and in some people, drinking excessively can make them aggressive and they become violent.
"The game seeks to provoke a reaction or at least make the player think about the potential consequences of excessive alcohol consumption."
To play visit www.cheshire.police.uk.

Need another Elder Scrolls fix? This theme is for all of you who can't get enough of Bethesda's epic action RPG's.
The MMO was delayed to 2014, but this is not surprisingly since they have now also added a first-person view and need to make sure it can live up to the immensly high standards of previous games of the franchise. If they do it right this could be the next WoW or Guild Wars and pass the 5 million subscriber mark. In my opinion it is not likely that this MMO will be free-to-play or at least not initially. It's possible that Bethesda will first test the market and go for a subscription-based model.
This theme is 5 MB large – if you need some help with applying it, make sure to browse our tutorial section. Additional desktop themes can be downloaded using our categories.

Q: Sync Framework 2.1 Provisioning Multiple template for Hub-Spoke sync I am new to Microsoft technologies and Sync framework.
I am looking for a option to improve the current implementation.
It is hub-spoke, Central SQL DB server and Android mobile clients Sqlite DB. Currently we have one Scope Template, it contains all the required tables(till now 40 tables) with parameter filter clause.
For every new client we are creating new scope based on the template provisioned on DB server. Sync we do have lot of data(10mb)for initial sync from server to client, it takes average 10 mins. what I would like to know is,
1.Can I create 2 Templates? for Example 20 tables for one template scope the other 20 tables for 2nd template scope? if yes means,

*

*I would like to do initial sync completion with 2 web service call. 2 web service call to get 2 template scope in 2 different times.
for example 1st web service call i would request half of the data which ever data are required to for bi-directional sync and later 2nd call would be remaining data(download only direction) to complete initial sync per client.

could you please help me in this?

A: am assuming you're using the Sync Framework Toolkit. you should be able to create multiple templates and multiple scopes from them.

Montreal Shows This Week: DMA's, Young Fathers, Grre en famille, The Goods Homegrown Edition & Blockhead
ArtsMusic
By FTB Staff Mar 23, 2016
Like music? Live in Montreal (or are visiting)? Looking for something to do over the next seven or eight days? Here are a few suggestions from writers Ford Donovan, Bianca Lecompte and Jason C. McLean:
DMA's
Hailing from Sydney, Australia, these indie-rockers have made it big 'down under' and are looking to continue their success in North America. Nostalgically evoking nearly every aesthetic of early 90s Britpop, from the shimmering guitar leads, to the Oasis-like major key choruses, to the ultra-English attire of sneakers and track suits, DMA's also inject new life into a musical style that has yet to be revived in the mainstream.
The band's recent appearance on The Tonight Show is indicative of the potential splash these guys could make in the US and Canada; come to Petit Campus on Friday night to see what all the buzz is about. (FD)
DMA's play Petit Campus, 57 rue Prince Arthur Est, Friday, March 25th, 9pm (doors 8pm), $12. Tickets available through Greenland or at the door
It's hard to define this Scottish quartet in terms of genre. Sometimes Young Fathers are clearly hip-hop, sometimes electronic, and sometimes soul. But that's the central beauty of the band, they're almost genre-less. Their biggest hit to date, a booming alt-hip-hop number, Deadlines brings to mind the sounds of a dystopian acapella ensemble in the very best possible way.
For the past several years, they've been touring all over the world—venues and festivals both big and small—and are finally making their much-anticipated return to Montreal. I saw these guys for the first time in England last year, and their live performance totally blew me away. Do yourself a huge favour, and check them out next week. (FD)
Young Fathers play Théâtre Fairmount, 5240 av du Parc, Thursday, March 31st, 9pm (doors 8pm), $15 in advance or $18 at the door. Tickets available through Greenland
Grre en famille
Montreal's Grre en famille already launched their second album Désamorcer la bombeoffer online March 18th, but they're premiering it officially this Thursday. If you're looking for a mix of ska and reggae music with a solid Quebecois twist, check out this show. (JCM)
Grre en famille play Le Petit Campus with openers BradyCardie Thursday, March 24th at 9pm. Tickets are $10 at the door
The Goods Homegrown Edition
If you're looking for a "warm alternative to the average Montreal night out," resident DJs Andy Williams and Scott C have been providing just that since 2002 with The Goods Homegrown Edition, a no-frills event featuring funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, afro and latin music. (BL)
The Goods Homegrown Edition is at La Sala Rossa, 4848 boul. Saint-Laurent, Saturday, March 26th. Doors open and music starts at 10:30pm. $10
Blockhead started out as a rapper, but this NYC born and raised performer soon found out that making the beats was his real passion and embarked on a solo instrumental career which brings him to Montreal this weekend. Come hear the unique sounds of this producer/performer, you won't regret it. (BL)
Blockhead with openers Eliot Lipp and Voyage Funktastique perform at Newspeak, 1403 Sainte Elisabeth, Sunday, March 27, 10pm. $10, tickets available through the Newspeak website
Know a band or an artist that should be featured in Shows This Week? Maybe a show FTB should cover, too? Let us know at music@forgetthebox.net. We can't be everywhere and can't write about everything, but we do our best!

If you are a parent to a young child then you can agree with me that long car trips are a definite no; the kids get tired, they want to stop at every Mc Donald's you pass and then comes the dreaded temper tantrums. I try to avoid long trips as much as possible with my two year old, so why take a long trip out of town when I can avoid all the hassle and take him to a local museum here in our home town of Richmond. Not only is it close to home but its completely free!
We walk into the Joseph Moore Museum of Natural History and we were immediately welcomed by a young gentleman at the gift shop desk. The first room we came to had a huge collection of ancient artifacts; old tools, arrow heads and pottery. I found this section quite intriguing and informative. In the middle of the hall is a unique x-ray display. Children can interact with a collection of different animal x-ray images and place them on a light board to examine. Along with the x-ray activity was a microscope that displayed on a large monitor for you to view. There was an assortment of snake skins, a bee hive, rocks, wood and many more objects my son enjoyed viewing under the microscope imager.
Directly at the end of the hall sits the vertebrate paleontology collection. The collection houses many specimens including a mastodon, a giant sloth, a wolf and an Allosaurus. Immediately my son runs to the Allosaurus and screams with excitement "dino!!" He's amazed by the size of it and asks daddy to pick him up to see it better. The most interesting to me was the giant beaver which was found in nearby Randolph County. To think these huge creatures once roamed around our area is amazing! My son would have stayed in the paleontology collection for hours if I would have let him, but we decided to venture downstairs.
Once you get to the bottom step you feel like you may have accidentally taken a trip to Egypt, there are hieroglyphs on the walls and a mummy lying in front of you. If you look close enough you can actually see through the mummy's wrappings at spots and see the toes. Creepy! Did you know that Indiana only has two permanent mummies on display? Both of these are in Richmond! The one we visited here and the other located at the Wayne County Historical Museum.
The next room is full of live reptiles and a hands on activity center. My son loved being able to touch real snake skin, coral, animal hide, animal antlers and many more exciting objects. I love that the Joseph Moore Museum is so hands on for children. When you're a young child you want to touch and explore everything you see and they are allowed to do just that.
Besides the toy dinosaur we bought my son at the gift shop the whole trip cost us nothing. Overall we had an exciting day of educational fun. I highly encourage you to visit their website www.earlham.edu/joseph-moore-museum/ and plan a trip to the museum on the Earlham College Campus, 801 National Road West, Richmond, IN 47374. Open year round: Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays 1-5 pm.

← Leadership Development: So why do It?
Guess what? You have to have a student loan despite negative credit. That's why you're looking over this and that makes you a student, which puts an individual into a very special position. You're a student, so that you have numerous opportunities and also resources open to you which can be open to very few otherwise in society. It's much like being in the armed service or being a senior citizen, simply better, 'cause you're still young and you don't have to awaken at 6 a.m. every day.
What is meant by this is that you have, on your campus, special counselors that are especially trained for circumstances just like this. But before you scamper off in a rush, here are some things to consider that your counselor may tell you, or even s/he may forget a number of this. Either way, we have been each different within our own special methods and have different wishes and backgrounds, so this may apply to you specifically.
For instance, you'll need a student loan but possess bad credit. This makes you specific, but not that special. Your tale is actually an old one. College students in debt tend to be basically a clich within this day and age. The great thing is that you simply need not worry. Bad credit's not really the end of the world.
One thing that has benefited folks in debt and so equipped with the moniker of bad credit is their amounts. In the United States, horrible credit is nearly endemic. The good thing is that for every person not repairing his credit, another three are paying the bills promptly and not letting the actual economy drop off the particular map. Further, taking out a student loan with negative credit is actually stimulating the particular economy in numerous methods.
For one, when you take out a student loan -bad credit or not, you happen to be providing hope for the near future. One more educated person in the world. Students particularly, in fact, are almost expected to be shattered. We've all seen that arrest photo associated with Bill Gates when he was but an aspiring billionaire. I'd almost bet my personal eyeteeth that he was in debt at that point -and that he had not been too quick upon making the payments.
One more thing is that loan officers know that students have a few extra sources of money not open to most of us. One of these obvious sources will be parents, always ready to shell out a few extra clams junior's way. As well, figures show that the majority of students hold at least one work over a decent duration of their college job, which provokes have confidence in and incentive within loan officers. Lastly, there is financial aid. Loan officers realize that students receive funds at the beginning of each quarter or semester from your university, the state and also federal governments, from grants and scholarships, and quite a few other sources.
So, if you need a student loan with bad credit, fret not really, you're merely dance down a long series that's been well worn by some of the greatest minds and personalities with the history of education. Need a student loan, bad credit? Just go to this!
Hit up any books you can find on the subject, some other articles online (there's a myriad of them), secure an appointment with your educational funding counselors at school, as well as talk to everyone it is possible to, because someone out there, I guarantee, "knows someone who knows someone" in the loan business -yet another plus. Lastly, look around your grounds. You probably have a minumum of one bank branch workplace or credit union upon campus. Go to every bank or credit union at your university and speak to every loan officer it is possible to. You'll get that loan. Study properly, enjoy the cash.


Next up is eyelid, license and other interior lights !!
Glad it worked out for both of you.
Have you replaced the rear dome festoon with LED as well? What did you use?
there should be plenty of festoon-type LEDs on Ebay. but with so many diff types, it's hard to pick one. i'm just gonna head to Chinatown or Alhambra-area and pick one up..
The rear dome is also easy to remove just like got_thang's OP picture.
Do let me know if the one you get is as white as the warm white LEDs - 4300K .
Can anyone provide any insight on which LED lights to use. I am aware that the size is 194 or 168, but its hard to pick the right ones. I would like to change all of the interior lights to LED. Thanks!
click on the product link and check the V-LEDS Part ID, if it starts with 194 you're good.
however, you should stick with the design/shape that's of the typical 194 bulbs - i.e., don't pick an led that's too big or has like 198528 leds on them.
Do you have any pics or info on the bulbs that you are using? I wanna change them all out to LED, but I don't wanna waste money on bulbs that won't fit. I too am looking for that bright look. Thanks!
Why did you remove the entire front overhead console? You could have just removed the lens like @got_thang did by prying around white part only. Seems overly complicated and risky since you're pulling out the sunroof control, wiring, and light switches.
I did both sides without any problems... maybe I was being careful... or just lucky.
Yeah, you were really lucky not to break it, quite a few already broke theirs by prying from the side.
Sliding the credit card easily separated the front dome from its latch. Try it and you will know what I mean.
yeah..that rear dome was a ***** too. matter of fact, i've got hairline fractures on the middle tab.
Thanks for posting that DIY, I couldnt figure out how to remove that rear dome light cover. Do you know where I can find a blue bulb for the rear dome light? I bought some off of E-bay but they look different. They fit in the front dome light, but by the looks of the rear light, it looks kinda like a fuse?? Didnt get one that looks like that. Thanks for your post.
what is the polarg festoon bulb that you guys use???? is there a non LED light that works good with the rear dome??
are these the right bulbs for the festoon dome light????
Last edited by rb23lb; 10-31-2009 at 12:16 AM.
I remember seeing several posts before regarding the Polarg M28 festoons. Try searching for Polarg M28 to find previous posts.
i need help with the reading light under the rear view mirror, tried changing it and the housing was push in? is there a way to open the rear view mirror to access the light housing and put it back in its place?
why change this bulb?!?!? it already is a hyper white xenon style bulb and gives off clean bright white light??
did anybody else change the rearview mirror bulbs???
^^^ the one on my sisters car is a regular 194 bulb?
Hey guys, how do you change the light on the door?
I ordered M28 Festoon Bulbs for my w204 and they are too small... They aren't long enough, I need them to be another 1/2" longer. Does anyone have any idea what the Polarg bulb is for the rear seat dome light?
this diy helped lots thank you. i just replace all bulbs in my GLK. looks much better now!
Thanks very much, just ordered them. Is there any place M28's are used in the car or are these complete garbage now? lol.

Q: Why the value a in base class not changing? so I am trying to understand how exactly inheritance works in java. i want to update the value of a in the super class with the help of the method in class two. and I want to print the updated data using the method in class three. But I am not getting the updated data I am still getting 10 as output though I changed it to 20 using the update method in class two. why does this happen? how can I solve this?
code:
class one{
    int a=10;
}

class two extends one{
    void update(){
        super.a=20;
    }
}

class three extends one{
    void print_changed_data(){
        System.out.println(super.a);
    }
}

public class four{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        two obj2=new two();
        obj2.update();

        three obj3=new three();
        obj3.print_changed_data();
    }
}

A: Super is used for accessing a variable or method from the parent class, it can't change the prototype of that class. When you create obj3 it still instantiates off of the original prototype. This is what you end up with in your code:
two obj2=new two();
// obj2 = {
//     a = 10
//     update()
// }
obj2.update();
// obj2 = {
//     a = 20
//     update()
// }

three obj3=new three();
// obj2 = {
//     a = 20
//     update()
// }
// obj3 = {
//     a = 10
//     print_changed_data()
// }

Here's a better example of what super is used for:
class one{
    int a=10;

    void update(){
        a = 30;
    }
}

class two extends one{

    void update(){
        a=20;
    }

    void print(){
        // a = 10
        System.out.println(a);

        this.update(); // a = 20
        System.out.println(a);

        super.update(); // a = 30
        System.out.println(a);
    }
}

public class three{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        two obj2=new two();
        obj2.print();
        // output
        // 10
        // 20
        // 30
    }
}

A: I think you have misunderstood what is happening in inheritance between these 3 classes. Each time you create a new instance of class using new in your example you are creating a new instance variable called a in that class which starts out with the value of 10. In class Two you have an instance method called update() which changes the value of a to 20, calling this method will only update a for the class instance you are calling it on; in this case obj2.
class One{
    int a=10;

    void print_changed_data(){
        System.out.println(a);
    }
}

class Two extends One {
    void update(){
        super.a=20;
    }
}

class Three extends One {

}

public class four{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        One obj1 = new One();
        obj1.print_changed_data(); // Prints 10

        Two obj2 = new Two();
        obj2.print_changed_data(); // Prints 10
        obj2.update();
        obj2.print_changed_data(); // Prints 20

        Three obj3 = new Three();
        obj3.print_changed_data(); // Prints 10
    }
}

In the above example I have amended your code and created 3 objects obj1, obj2 and obj3. obj1 and obj3 will always print out 10 when you call print_changed_data() because you haven't updated a with a new value yet. Whereas calling update() on obj2 you are changing obj2s a value to 20.
Check out this simple w3schools guide for inheritance

A: Classes are just blueprints; they don't have any storage. When you initialize a class, an object is created with all the variables needed. obj2 and obj3 are just different objects in memory containing their separate variables. There isn't a 'direct' connection between class two and class three. Both classes use class one as a blueprint, but that doesn't create a relationship between the variables (a) in the objects.
Imagine a company builds cars from the exact blueprint; the vehicles are technically the same, but if you start one car, only that actual car will turn. All other vehicles from this precise blueprint won't start; it would be weird if they turned on.

Kim K's Daughter, North West, Receives Michael Jackson's $65,625 Jacket As Gift, But People Think "She's Just Spoilt"
Is Kim Kardashian trying to buy her children's love with material things? That possibility occured to some people recently after the reality star's Christmas present to her first daughter was revealed.
Giving North West her freedom
Kim Kardashian's kids are probably some of the luckiest in the world. Their mom isn't just rich, she's influential and famous too. So even as children, North, Chicago, Saint, and Psalm are already pretty famous too. But this may have people wondering if the children are being treated differently from the average kid.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Dec 13, 2019 at 8:18am PST
While we don't know the answer to this for sure, we do know that Kim K allows her daughter, North, to be who she is even if that means choosing what she wears. The reality star once told Vancouver Sun that North is allowed to pick her outfits but only when she's home.
She can wear costumes, which she really loves. She wears wild pajamas. And then when we go out, she really just wears whatever I want. She makes it really easy. But we have that comprise.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Dec 8, 2019 at 10:15am PST
Is this a little too much?
It's the Christmas season and kids all over the world are receiving presents from their family and North wasn't exempted. In a video posted online, Kim Kardashian revealed that she and Kanye West got their daughter North a jacket that used to belong to the late Michael Jackson.
A post shared by aGOODoutfit (@agoodoutfit) on Dec 26, 2019 at 2:16am PST
In the video, Kim could be heard saying that they won the jacket at an auction so they could give it to the six-year-old for Christmas. She revealed a picture that showed the late pop star wearing the jacket while he was with Elizabeth Taylor.
While Kim didn't share the price of the jacket, CNN did report, in October, that a Michael Jackson's custom velvet jacket which he wore to Elizabeth Taylor's 65th birthday party was sold for $65,625. It was originally estimated to be sold for $10,000 and $20,000.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Dec 25, 2019 at 5:00pm PST
Kim Kardashian said that North was a really big fan of MJ and the little girl was very grateful for the present.
Spoiling the kid?
In reaction to this post, social media users expressed their views.
Many of them believed that Kim K was spoiling her child by buying her such an expensive gift.
Signs you might be spoiling your child
This whole saga did beg an important question: How do you know you're spoiling your kid? Here are four signs to watch out for, according to iMom.
You don't let them learn responsibility by making them pick up after themselves. You do everything for them even when they are capable of doing it themselves.
You do whatever they say and ignore it when they are disrespectful to you.
You give them everything they ask for even when they won't appreciate it or it will be bad for them.
You excuse and ignore rude behavior.
A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on Nov 28, 2019 at 11:37am PST
Raising a well-mannered, well-adjusted kid doesn't happen by magic. And when it comes to parenting, different people have different opinions, In the case of Kim and North, we can't say for sure if she's buying her daughter's love or is simply giving her something she desperately wants. Sure, the price tag is an issue. But if you could afford to give your child something they really, really want at least once in a year, wouldn't you?
It does seem unfair to judge Kim based on how much she spends considering her million-dollar net worth. But hey, what do we know? We do think it's a super cute jacket, though.

3 Clever Laundry Tips And Tricks To Keep Clothes Fresh And Bright


Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has come under pressure from countries with large Muslim populations including Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan to halt violence against Rohingya Muslims after nearly 125,000 of them fled to Bangladesh.
Reuters reporters saw hundreds of exhausted Rohingyas arriving on boats near the village of Shamlapur in Bangladesh near the Myanmar border. The village, facing the Bay of Bengal, appears to have become the newest receiving point for the refugees after authorities cracked down on human traffickers in a different part of the Teknaf peninsula.
Indonesian foreign minister Retno Marsudi was due in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, on Tuesday after meeting the Nobel peace laureate and army chief Min Aung Hlaing to urge that Myanmar halt the bloodshed.
"The security authorities need to immediately stop all forms of violence there and provide humanitarian assistance and development aid for the short and long term," Retno said after her meetings in the Myanmar capital.
Myanmar officials blamed Rohingya militants for the burning of homes and civilian deaths but rights monitors and Rohingya fleeing to neighboring Bangladesh say the Myanmar army is trying to force them out with a campaign of arson and killings.
"Indonesia is taking the lead, and ultimately there is a possibility of ASEAN countries joining in," H.T. Imam, a political adviser to Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, told Reuters.
He was referring to the 10-member Association of South East Asian Nations that groups both Myanmar and Indonesia.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins a visit to Myanmar later on Tuesday, during which he will meet top officials, including Suu Kyi.
Turkey called the violence against the Rohingya "genocide" and offered Bangladesh help with the refugee influx. Pakistan, home to a large Rohingya community, has expressed "deep anguish" and urged the world body, the Organization of Islamic Countries, to act.


Over the past few years, researchers have made strides in understanding how Alzheimer's disease (AD) develops over time by using positron emission tomography (PET) scans to study the brains of people who have this devastating condition. Until recently, most of the focus of this research has been on using PET scans to detect a protein, beta-amyloid, that is one of the hallmarks of AD.
Thanks to new developments in imaging technology, however, researchers are now able to use PET scans to search for a different protein known as tau. Although tau is essential for normal cell functioning, it can also become dysfunctional and cause the formation of neurofibrillary tangles, abnormal twisted threads found within the brain nerve cells, called neurons, of almost all people with AD.
The results of early studies using PET scans to detect tau are helping to reshape ideas about AD and provide a greater understanding of the progression of neurological changes that lead to the gradual loss of memory and other cognitive abilities.
To produce a PET scan of the brain, a radioactive material known as a tracer is injected into the patient's vein. Tracers are designed to bind to specific targeted proteins in the body. Brain PET scans can detect where the tracers accumulate in the brain.
In a groundbreaking study published in 2016 in JAMA Neurology, researchers used PET scans with tau tracers to examine the brains of 59 men and women, whose average age was 74. Some had AD, but the study also included individuals with normal cognition.
This study demonstrated that a PET scan using tau tracers was able to distinguish people with AD from those who didn't have the disease. Specifically, study participants with AD had high levels of tau in the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex—brain regions that play critical roles in forming and storing memories. The same was not true for people with normal cognition.
However, the presence of either amyloid or tau alone did not appear to be sufficient to cause cognitive impairment: Both proteins had to be present for a person to have evidence of atrophy, or shrinkage, in the hippocampus—the first area affected by Alzheimer's. The authors of this study hypothesize that amyloid transforms tau into a more toxic version of itself, causing it to destroy greater numbers of neurons (brain cells) and synapses (connections between neurons).
Findings from a 2017 investigation published in the journal Brain support the idea that amyloid and tau must interact to cause AD. Researchers recruited 217 participants, including 95 people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 48 individuals who had been diagnosed as possibly or probably having AD; the remainder were a mix of young and older people with no cognitive symptoms. All participants underwent PET scans with tracers for amyloid and tau. Among individuals whose PET scans were positive for amyloid, those who also had high levels of tau were significantly more likely than those with few or no tau deposits to have AD or MCI. Moreover, there was a direct correlation between tau levels and cognition in amyloid-positive participants: The more tau a person had, the worse his or her cognitive impairment tended to be.
Investigators don't fully understand how tau proteins migrate through the brain; animal research suggests that they may move from one neuron to another across synapses (small areas on neurons that release chemical messages). Amyloid may trigger tau to spread faster, leading to the degeneration that causes memory loss, cloudy thinking, and other AD symptoms. Additional research is needed to corroborate or disprove this hypothesis.

Cheaper Alternatives To The Peloton Bike
Bloomberg/Getty Images
According to the Peloton website, the idea for the immersive stationary bike first came to Peloton developers in 2012. Their goal was to "bring the community and excitement of boutique fitness into the home." Now almost 10 years later, we'd say they've done just that. But scoring a ticket to the indoor cycling club isn't cheap.
Wirecutter estimates a Peloton membership costs roughly $2,500 for the first year and about $500 each year thereafter. Along with the bike itself, which tracks heart rate, calories burned, and distance, membership includes live-streaming and on-demand studio-style classes with over 30 different instructors. Luckily, these revolutionary bikes are no longer solely for the one percent.
Following Peloton's popularity, a number of cheaper in-home fitness alternatives have begun to pop up, giving us little to no excuse to skip our quarantine-approved workout routines. Plus, while Peloton's bike delivery has reached a two-month waitlist, these wallet-friendly options are guaranteed to hit your doorstep in just a few weeks (via InStyle).
Best space-saving bike

A small living space, and/or an even smaller budget, shouldn't stop you from enjoying the endorphins of a daily cycle burn. The Xterra Fitness Folding Bike retails for just $135 (via Amazon) and, thanks to its compact, folding ability, InStyle calls it the most "apartment-friendly" bike on the market.
While the Xterra doesn't contain Peloton's signature screen or streaming services, it still has a standard LCD screen to provide speed, distance, time, calories and heart rate information. A pretty good trade considering you're saving literal THOUSANDS. Plus, because its so light to carry, you can easily set up your Xterra in front of a television and break it down to store away when finished. Check out YouTube for simple cycling workouts or beautiful videos of terrains and vistas to imagine biking through.
We guarantee this bare-bones stationary bike will be a savior to your butt, legs and wallet.
Best bike with live streaming classes

If you're looking for challenging streaming classes and instructors to go along with your bike purchase, look no further than the Nordic Track Commercial Studio Cycle Bike. While the price is steep at $2000 (via Amazon), your first year of live-streaming and on-demand classes with the iFit membership are included in the price. Not a bad deal!
Compared to Peloton, the Nordic Track will save you $500 in your first year and, according to InStyle, delivers in just two weeks (months ahead of a standard Peloton.) The bike comes with a touchscreen and allows up to 5 free workout profiles so the entire family can get their cycle on. The Nordic Track also includes two 3 lb. dumbbells to up your biking game and allow for easy cross-training.
But perhaps the coolest feature of the Nordic Track is the LIVE Resistance Control feature, where professional trainers on screen can auto-adjust your bike's incline, decline, and resistance to ensure you're getting the most beneficial exercise possible. Basically, a less scary and more supportive "Big Brother."
Best bike with home gym equipment
Treadmill Reviews/YouTube
We'd be doing the MYX II Plus an injustice by calling it just a stationary bike. This bike is basically a home gym, personal trainer and physical therapist all rolled into one. For only $1600, the MYX II Plus includes a Peloton-like touch-screen tablet for streaming classes plus a heart rate monitor, Apple Watch pairing capability, a stabilizing mat, an exercise mat, a foam roller, 6 dumbbells, a kettlebell, and a resistance band (via MYX Fitness).
Along with all these perks, a MYX subscription to stream unlimited workout videos is only $29 per month, compared to Peloton's $39 per month (via Pocket Lint). Choose from bike, floor, mindful, or cross-training workouts, filtered by coach, duration, level, type, and music (via PC Mag). And for those of us looking to work out without the added pressure of competition, this bike has left out Peloton's leaderboard feature, so you can focus on your progress alone rather than comparing yourself to others. Now get spinning!

"My family lives in my hometown, Lucknow. I had to move to Hyderabad in search of jobs. I came here only 15 days ago but I already miss my family. Before that, I lived in Nagpur. I've travelled to many cities. Nothing feels like home, but Hyderabad has been my favourite after Lucknow. The people I work with have been good. I also like the food here. We get so much biryani for reasonable prices. I can't afford it every day but my new friends here treated me in the first week of my job. Next time when I go home, I want to pack one small box for my family. I was told biryani can be reheated and eaten in two days. So I'm saving money for that now. I can't wait to feed this delicious biryani to my wife and children. They'll love it!".


1.) Do you believe the product of conception between two humans is a unique new human life?
2.) Do you believe fully developed humans have an intrinsic right to have less-developed humans intentionally exterminated?
3.) Does the presence of physical anomalies or disease in humans grant other humans the right to have them intentionally exterminated?
4.) Do you believe humans have an intrinsic right to have other humans intentionally exterminated based on these humans' capacity for independent living?
5.) If humans have an intrinsic right to have other humans killed based on their developmental state, health, and capacity for independent living, why not extend that right for a period post-natally? In other words, why should exit from the birth canal justify a prohibition of killing a physically afflicted human who is incapable of independent living?
6.) Do humans have an intrinsic right to have other humans killed whose continued existence causes suffering?
7.) If the "reproductive rights" of one human come into direct conflict with the right of another human simply to exist, which right is a right of a higher moral order?
8.) If human life is so devoid of "personhood" as to be undeserving of any constitutional protection, why should abortion be rare as many "progressives" claim it should be?
10.) If no one knows when life begins or when incipient human life becomes a person deserving of protection from being intentionally killed by other humans, wouldn't it be wiser, more compassionate, and inclusive to err on the side of caution and assume that a human in the womb is a person deserving of protection?
Here's one last suggestion, this time for conservative candidates: Next time a journalist asks questions on abortion, hand her these ten questions and tell her you'll be glad to answer her questions as soon as your opponent has been asked and answered a few of these.

Candace Owens Shares Harsh Words For Donald Trump About Vaccines
Posted on December 28, 2021 December 28, 2021 Author SaraWilliam	Comment(0)
As COVID-19 cases skyrocket across the nation due to the surge of the highly contagious Omicron variant, the Biden administration continues to urge all Americans 16 years of age and up (or even younger with co-morbidities) to get a booster shot as their best protection against both contracting the virus and severe illness if a breakthrough infection occurs, according to ABC News.
Surprisingly, former President Donald Trump has been urging the same thing of his supporters during the 2021 holiday season and has refused to back down from his stance that vaccines work despite the fact that he's been booed while giving speeches and criticized by conservative commentators. During a speaking tour with former Fox New host, Bill O'Reilly, Trump told the audience that he had received the COVID booster as soon as he could, while touting the efficacy of the vaccines that were developed under his administration.
"Look, we did something that was historic, we saved tens of millions of lives worldwide. We, together, all of us, not me," he said (via CNN). "Take credit for it. Take credit for it. It's great. What we've done is historic. Don't let them take it away. Don't take it away from ourselves."
Donald Trump continues to encourage vaccination with Candace Owens
Despite the reaction from his supporters, Donald Trump didn't back away from his stance that the Americans should be vaccinated and boosted and doubled down during an interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens on December 22.
When Owens questioned Trump on whether the vaccines actually work considering more people have died in 2021 from COVID-19 under the Joe Biden administration than they did in 2020 when Trump was still president, Trump stuck to his guns on how the vaccines do work and placed the blame for COVID still surging on the people who refuse to get vaccinated.
"The vaccine worked. But some people aren't taking it," Trump told Owens (via Axios). "The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take the vaccine. But it's still their choice, and if you take the vaccine, you're protected. Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get it, it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine."

Candace Owens offers her take on Trump's pro-vaccine stance
When Donald Trump insisted to Candace Owens during a sit-down interview from Mar-a-Lago that the COVID-19 vaccines are "one of the greatest achievements of mankind" (via Axios), Owens felt the need to set the record straight — or at least the record on how she sees it by doing her own research into vaccines, something she doesn't feel Trump is familiar with — so she took to Instagram to do so.
"Everything that [Trump's generation] read in a newspaper that was pitched to them that they believe that that was a reality," Owens said in a December 23 Instagram video. "And one of those things was, you know, this push for vaccines and believing that people were going to die without vaccines. And so, I believe that his support of the vaccine is genuine and it's not based on any corruption at all."
Despite Trump spending his entire presidency calling mainstream media "fake news," Owens believes that's the only place the former president gets his information from. "Believe it or not, I do not believe that Trump reads or partakes in any other news sources," Owens said. "I don't believe that Trump is on the internet or that he necessarily uses the web to try to find obscure websites. I think that he just relies on typical mainstream sources. So, I don't think that there's anything evil going on there."

Gallup Poll Shows Dismal Approval Ratings for McConnell, Pelosi, Biden


2D Resistivity Imaging uses an array of electrodes (typically 64) connected by multicore cable to provide a linear depth profile, or pseudosection, of the variation in resistivity both along the survey line and with depth. Switching of the current and potential electrode pairs is done automatically using a laptop computer and relay box. The computer initially keeps the spacing between the electrodes fixed and moves the pairs along the line until the last electrode is reached. The spacing is then increased and the process repeated in order to provide an increased depth of investigation.
Measurement of ground resistivity involves passing an electrical current into the ground using a pair of steel or copper electrodes and measuring the resulting potential difference within the subsurface using a second pair of electrodes. These are normally placed between the current electrodes.
Unlike conventional resistivity sounding and lateral profiling surveys, 2D resistivity imaging is a fully automated technique that uses a linear array of up to 64 electrodes connected by multicore cable. The current and potential electrode pairs are switched automatically using a laptop computer and control module connected to a ground resistivity meter (that provides the output current). In this way a profile of resistivity against depth ('pseudosection') is built up along the survey line. Data is collected by automatically profiling along the line at different electrode separations. The computer initially keeps the spacing between the electrodes fixed and moves the pairs along the line until the last electrode is reached. The spacing is then increased by the minimum electrode separation (the physical distance between electrodes which remains fixed throughout the survey) and the process repeated in order to provide an increased depth of investigation.
The maximum depth of investigation is determined by the spacing between the electrodes and the number of electrodes in the array. For a 64 electrode array with an electrode spacing of 2m this depth is approximately 20m. However, as the spacing between the active electrodes is increased, fewer and fewer points are collected at each 'depth level', until on the final level only 1 reading is acquired (see figure). In order to overcome this the array is 'rolled-along' the line of investigation in order to build up a longer pseudosection.
The raw data is initially converted to apparent resistivity values using a geometric factor that is determined by the type of electrode configuration used. Many 2D resistivity imaging surveys are carried out using the Wenner Array. In this configuration the spacing between each electrode is identical. Once converted the data is modeled using finite element and least squares inversion methods in order to calculate a true resistivity versus depth pseudosection.
The modeled results are displayed as scaled resistivity-depth pseudosections as illustrated. Blues represent areas of low resistivity whilst reds are relatively higher. The wedge shape of the plot illustrates the gradual reduction in the amount of data acquired as the current and potential electrode spacing are increased. As discussed earlier this is overcome by gradually rolling the electrode array along the survey line. The interpretation of the resistivity-depth pseudosection is normally provided as a separate diagram beneath the data or overlain directly on top. The results are calibrated using any available borehole or trial pit information together with modeled results from 1D resistivity soundings taken on the 2D resistivity imaging line.

Q: Elements of $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) $ as Cauchy sequences There is an isomorphism of abelian groups  $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{R}$, a proof is based on three observations:

*

*$\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) $ is torsion free.

*$\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) $ is a divisible abelian group.

*Hence  $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) $ is a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ and it has the same cardinality as $\mathbb{R}$, hence there is an isomorphism of $\mathbb{Q}$-vector spaces $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{R}$.
This proof is indirect. If we think about elements of $\mathbb{R}$ as classes of Cauchy sequences of elements of $\mathbb{Q}$, can we directly interpret such sequence as an element in $\operatorname{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$?

A: $$End(\Bbb{Q/Z})=\varprojlim_{n\to \infty}
End(\Bbb{n^{-1}Z/Z})= \varprojlim_{n\to \infty} \Bbb{Z/nZ}$$
(the profinite integers)
$$Hom_{\mathbb{Z}} (\mathbb{Q}, \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})=\Bbb{Q\otimes_Z}End(\Bbb{Q/Z})=\Bbb{A_{Q,fin}}$$
(the finite adeles)
It is well-known that the $\Bbb{Q}$-vector space isomorphisms or embeddings $\Bbb{A_{Q,fin}}\to \Bbb{R}$ need the axiom of choice and that none has a concrete expression (no idea in what theory we can prove it, if we can).
$\Bbb{A_{Q,fin}}$ is the completion of $\Bbb{Q}$ for the norm $$\|\pm \prod_j p_j^{e_j}\|=\sup_j p_j^{-e_j}, \qquad e_j\in \Bbb{Z}$$

John Titor – The 'Time Traveler' From 2036 had a mission to save the world
John Titor became one of the biggest mysteries of the Internet early 2000s because of his detailed knowledge of time travel and its dire predictions for the future. It was something that captivated me while I was in high school and many years of dedicated people trying to figure out if there was truth behind his wild claims, or if they were just a hoax.
It all started in July 1998 on the paranormal radio late night Coast to Coast AM when host Art Bell received a series of faxes (yes, fax) from a suspected US soldier claiming to have detailed knowledge of travel time. Faxes describe how time travel was invented in the year 2034 and tell a grim discovery that no one can move beyond the year 2564. They also warn of the devastation to come after impending Y2K catastrophe. Here is a transcript of his first fax:
"Dear Art,
I had to fax when I heard other time travelers calling in from any time past the year 2500 AD. Please let me explain.
Time travel was invented in 2034. Off-shoots of certain successful fusion reactor research allowed scientists at CERN to produce the world's first contained singularity engine. The basic design involves rotating singularities inside a magnetic field. By altering the speed and direction of rotation, you can travel both forward and backward in time.
Time itself can be understood in terms of connected lines. When you go back in time, you travel on your original timeline. When you turn your singularity engine off, a new timeline is created, due to the fact that you and your time machine are now there. In other words, a new universe is created.
To get back to your original line, you must travel a split second father back, and immediately throw the engine into forward without turning it off.
Some interesting outcomes of this are:
One, you meet yourself. I have done it often, even taken a younger version of myself along for a few rides before returning myself to the new timeline and going back to mine.
Two, you can alter history in the new universe that you have just created. Most of the time, the changes are subtle. Sometimes, I'll notice car models that don't exist, or books that come out late.
The oldest one was a skyscraper that wasn't built in a near favorite store of mine in New York.
Interestingly, when you travel in time, you must compensate for the orbit of the earth. Since the time machine doesn't move, you have to adjust the engines so you remain on the planet when you turn it off. Unfortunately, it was also discovered that anyone going forward in time, from my 2036, hit a brick wall in the year 2564.
Everyone who has ever been there has reported that nothing exists. When the machine is turned off, you find yourself surrounded by blackness and silence.
Now, most time travelers are trying to find out where the line went bad by going into the past, creating a new universe, and proceeding forward to see if the same thing results in 2564. It appears the line went bad around the year 2000. I'm here now, in this time, to test a few theories of mine before going forward.
Now, for the future you might want to know about.
One, Y2K is a disaster. Many people die on the highways when they freeze to death trying to get to warmer weather.
Two, the government tries to keep power by instituting marshall law, but all of it collapses when their efforts to bring the power back up fail.
Three, a power facility in Denver is able to restart itself, but is mobbed by hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed. This convinces most that maybe we shouldn't bring the old system back up.
Four, a few years later, communal government system is developed, after the constitution takes a few twists.
China retakes Taiwan, Israel wins the largest battle for their life, and Russia is covered in nuclear snow from their collapsed reactors.
Art, the reason I'm here now is because I believe a nuclear weapon set off by Iraq in the Middle East war with Israel might have something to do with the damaged timeline. I will test that theory and get back to you.
Please pray that we discover the reason why there is no apparent future after 2564."
According to John, the ability to travel in time was found in Geneva, Switzerland at CERN, in experiments involving the Large Hadron Collider. Here is an excerpt of what he said about the discovery in one of his posts:
"The source of energy for the C204 that allows it to distort and manipulate gravity has two micro singularities that were created, captured and cleaned to a much larger facility and" Circular "… the breakthrough that will allow this technology will take place in a year or when CERN brings their larger facility online. "- January 31, 2001
He said his mission was to go back to 1975 to obtain an IBM 5100 computer and bring it back to 2036. Why such an old computer so important in the future?
The answer is that the 5100 series has a unique feature IBM kept secret for years. He is able to read the old code written before the widespread use of APL and basic and there is none of these computers left to the future. Government scientists in 2036 require sensitive equipment debugging the millennium bug for UNIX, a problem similar to the Y2K bug that causes many systems based on computers to fail.
This function "secret" was actually confirmed by an IBM engineer who helped design, which only promotes legend John Titor because only a very small number of people ever know.
So if all John needed to do was a computer and go, what was he doing in the display of the early 2000s about time travel and paranormal forums?
He said his detours in the years 1998 and 2000 were to visit family and perhaps himself as a young child, but he also wanted to send a warning of the possible future coming. Oh yeah, he also says he has saved the world from Y2K.
Through his discussions on forums Art Bell, John Titor described a future civil war in the United States that would lead the country down into five different regions. Most major cities are destroyed, leaving Omaha, Neb. As new US capital. The civil war lasted from 2004 to 2015, ending with a third world war and nuclear attack that would destroy the world's infrastructure and environment.
As the years passed, it became clear that all of John Titor's predictions would be wrong, as there was no Y2K disaster nor any civil war happening after the 2004 election. However, a post from January 30, 2001, helps explain all this away. Due to the fact that he was from a different timeline, the events of our future may not be exactly the same or happen at the times he predicted.
