The choices you make about style, tone, look and feel are the blueprint of your brand. Here's how they reflect your business personality.
When considering your business branding, colours are often the first thing that springs to mind. There are some established associations between colour and mood. Everyone's associations are slightly different though, depending on their life experiences so these are trends not rules.
Beyond this, your colour choices mean something in your particular industry. Blue, for example, might be classic for a bank but a distinctive choice for a bookshop. What's typical for businesses in the same niche as yours? Whether you tap into the established norms or break the mold with a new approach will say something about who you are as a company.
Serif fonts are classic and elegant, and carry a sense of tradition and authority. Sans serif fonts are more modern, minimal and a little bit cool. Think Times New Roman vs Helvetica.
Using several fonts at once adds energy and could even make things look a little busy, indicating a brand that's full of ideas and always has something new happening. Sticking to a single font means you'll come across as calm, purposeful and deliberate, with a no-fuss approach to getting things done.
If you choose decorative or script-style fonts, you can create a trendy throwback aesthetic or a timeless, classic feeling. And depending on your font choice, a handwriting-like style can also create a more personal, casual feel.
Curvy, stylised digital vector illustrations are modern, fun and clean-looking. They often go hand in hand with tech and innovation, and are a staple among start-ups. Flat colors and clean lines are hallmarks of this style, which is often used in infographics. Vector illustrations can be easily edited in Adobe Illustrator CC, for print, web, and mobile-friendly designs.
Then there's the hand-drawn digital illustration style, which uses line, hatching and shading to emphasize a human element in your business and suggest creativity and artisan skills.
Of course, any kind of art can be part of your brand, from collage to watercolor, but generally, choosing analog formats rather than digital will give your brand more of an old-school, handmade identity.
Tone of voice isn't just about what you choose to say the way you say it also plays a big part.
Does your brand use contractions (isn't, we'll)? Do you talk about yourselves in the first rather than the third person? (i.e. "We started out" not "Acme Company was founded") If so, you have a more informal tone of voice. This is a friendly tone that makes you more approachable to new customers.
A popular tonal approach is to use lyrical and witty language, which can be tricky to pull off one person's playful is another person's silly. But if you do this well, you'll come across as clever, approachable and competent.
Whatever your approach, take note if your brand tone originates with a single founder or staff member, it will only be with you as long as they are. Write down a few style rules to make sure it lives forever! Read more about capturing your brand's spirit in our guide to building your brand culture and our step-by-step primer on building brand values.
A brand is like a sports team every player counts, and they all need to work together. To make sure your 'team' of brand elements is performing at its best, make sure they all show up when they're needed, every time, every place.
So if your design is on point and your tone of voice is perfect, but your font choices are random and unplanned, it's never going to be a winning combination. Likewise, if you've got beautifully branded Business Cards but your website design isn't recognizably similar, your brand personality won't always shine through.

but need a strong reversal candle though to assure that price will reverse and that it will not collapse back again. Learn to ignore the market noise on your charts. Again, its all about market interest. The example below shows how swing pivots acted as support before flipping into a resistance level. Why SR are areas on your chart Because of these two group of traders Traders with the fear of missing out (fomo) Traders who want to get the best possible price (Cheapo) Let me explain: Traders with the fear of missing out would enter their. Thus, going long at support isnt a good idea. Conclusion For finding support and resistance, the most important concept is market interest. In practice, you should look for price bars (candlesticks) with extremely high volume. On the other hand, if it breaks that level it may be real breaking or a fake breaking so we also should see a strong piercing candle that effortlessly break that level to assure it will continue on the same way. Support is the level where price finds it difficult to fall below until eventually it fails to do so and bounces back.
Here, you can see that those weak candles were not able to breach the Resistance line and had long wicks and could not break that level so we wait to see what will happen with the next candle will the price action break that level. Hence, trading volume is a powerful indicator of market interest. The more times Support is tested, the stronger it becomes. Now what if price didnt move up and instead, consolidates at Support? Support and Resistance trading strategy.

Perched on the edge of Victoria Falls in Livingstone, Zambia, Devil's Pool forms each year when the dry season (June-October) reduces water levels.
It's a spectacular place to take a dip, with amazing views of the mile-wide falls – as well as the rather nail-biting 30m drop to the bottom.
Ik Kil, in Chichen Itza's Eco-Arqueological Park, is a cenote: a deep natural pit which has resulted from the collapse of limestone bedrock. The groundwater pool at the bottom is an ideal spot for a swim.
You can access the 40m-deep pool, which is 26m below ground level, via a carved stairway down to a swimming platform.
This is a surprising find in one of the hottest and driest places in the world. Havasu Falls cascades into one large pool, and the water's vivid blue-green colour is caused by its high concentration of calcium carbonate.
The area is part of the Havasupai Indian Reservation, and is managed by the tribe. Visitors can swim in some pools, although numbers are restricted and permits (available online) are required.
Literally translated as 'big hole', To Sua is a 30m-deep ocean trench, which has been converted into a large swimming pool that is accessible by ladder.
Located in Lotofaga, on Upolu island's south coast, the pool is surrounded by lush jungle and greenery. There is a $15 entrance fee.
Located just south of Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Falls is a three-tier waterfall, starting on top of a steep hilltop.
The smaller falls and pools lead into one main 60m-high fall. At the bottom of the cascades there are several pools open for swimming, plus picnic benches dotted around the area.
The Hinatuan River is known locally as the 'Enchanted River' because the water seems to magically flow without any source. The salt-water river streams from a 50ft deep spring.
Why the spring runs with salt-water is unknown, but the cool blue waters and thick jungle surroundings make for a very tropical dip.
The FCO currently advises against all travel to western and central Mindanao.
'Pamukkale' translates as 'cotton castle' in Turkish, referring to the white cascades of these spectacular thermal pools. This mountain of mineral baths formed over thousands of years, and is fed by rich thermal springs.
The water, which is thought to have healing properties, contains mainly calcium salts and carbon dioxide. It ranges in temperature from 36-57°C.
Las Grietas is a canyon formed of two lava rock walls. Both fresh water and sea water flow into this pool, and temperatures can vary between 18 and 20°C – ideal for cooling off.
The pools get crowded from mid-morning onwards: take an early morning dip to make the most of this gorgeous natural spot.
Litchfield National Park is found just south of Darwin, in Australia's Northern Territory. Bordering most of the Tabletop Range – a vast sandstone plateau – its waterfalls cascade into the many pools that are croc-free and ideal for swimming.

The Cintas Corporation, a Cincinnati Ohio based uniform company, agreed to settle an Oklahoma wrongful death lawsuit brought by the widow of an employee who was killed after falling into an industrial dryer while attempting to clog a jam without shutting down machinery first' a safety violation that employees were allegedly encouraged to do.
Oklahoma personal injury lawsuit
According to the Associated Press, Amalia Diaz Torres's husband, Eleazar, worked for the Cintas Corporation in Tulsa Oklahoma for seven years in an industrial uniform cleaning center. However, Eleazar fell into an industrial dryer in 2007 after climbing atop a stack of clothing which had become stuck. Although this was against safety regulations, management allegedly knew about the practice' and even encouraged it' so that machinery would not have to be shut down. Unfortunately, Eleazar fell through the laundry pile and into the 300 degree dryer where he died.
Amalia filed a personal injury lawsuit lawsuit against Cintas for the wrongful death of her husband. Although the matter was settled for a confidential amount, government records indicate that Cintas, whose 2008 revenue topped $4 billion, agreed to pay nearly $3 million in penalties in December of 2008 to resolve federal occupational safety violations in six separate cases.
How can a wrongful death lawyer help you?
Wrongful death lawsuits can be filed due to negligence, product liability, medical malpractice and other causes of action and recoverable wrongful death damages might include compensation for lost care, support, benefits, inheritance and more.
However, applying your state's law can be complicated' and that's where an experienced wrongful death attorney can help. He or she can evaluate your situation and determine if you are eligible to bring such a wrongful death lawsuit, whether there is enough evidence that the defendant caused the wrongful death, what kind of damages might be recoverable and the best strategy to settle or litigate your case.

Q: give the lists of elementary divisors for an abelian group of the specified order and match each list with corresponding list of invariant factors Give the lists of elementary divisors for an abelian group of the order $270$ and match each list with corresponding list of invariant factors.
Why the elementary divisors corresponding to invariant factor $270$ is $2, 27,5$, not $2,9,3,5$ or $2,3,3,3,5$? And why the elementary divisors corresponding to invariant factor $90,3$ is $2, 9,3,5$ and the elementary divisors corresponding to invariant factor $30,3,3$ is $2, 3,3,3,5$?

A: From the fundamental theorem of abelian groups, there can be exactly $P(n)$ number of non-isomorphic group of order $p^n$, where $P(n)$ is the number of integer partitions of $n$.
For $n=\prod_{i=0}^n p_i^{n_i}$, where each $p_i$'s are distinct primes, we have $\mathbb{Z}_n=\oplus_{i=0}^n \mathbb{Z}_{p_i^{n_i}}$. Say $A_i$ is the set of all non-isomorphic groups of order $p_i^{n_i}$. Then all the non-isomorphic groups of order $n$ is obtained by taking one group from each $A_i$ and taking their direct sums (note that the order of the direct sums doesn't matter). Thus the total number of non-isomorphic groups of order $n$ is $\prod_{i=0}^nP(n_i)$, $P(n_i)$ being the number of integer partitions of $n_i$
Now, $270 = 2.3^3.5$
The integer partitions of 3 are

*

*3

*2 + 1

*1 + 1 + 1

So number of non-isomorphic groups of order $270$ is $P(1).P(3).P(1)=1.3.1=3$.
The elementary factors : $(2, 3^3, 5), (2, 3^2, 3, 5), (2, 3, 3, 3, 5)$
i.e any abelian group of order $270$ is isomorphic to one of the following groups :

*

*$\mathbb{Z}_2\oplus\mathbb{Z}_{3^3}\oplus\mathbb{Z}_5$,

*$\mathbb{Z}_2\oplus\mathbb{Z}_{3^2}\oplus\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_5$,

*$\mathbb{Z}_2\oplus\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_5$

Now for the invariant factors, using the technique described here, we have the invariant factors : $(270), (3, 90), (3, 3, 30)$
Thus the list of non-isomorphic groups :

*

*$\mathbb{Z}_{270}$

*$\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_{90}$

*$\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_3\oplus\mathbb{Z}_{30}$

Corbara est une commune française située dans la circonscription départementale de la Haute-Corse et le territoire de la collectivité de Corse. Le village appartient à la piève d'Aregno dont il est historiquement le chef-lieu, en Balagne.

Géographie

Situation
Corbara est une commune du littoral balanin. Elle faisait partie de la piève d'Aregnu devenue pieve de Sant'Angelo jusqu'à la Révolution. Elle était l'une des six communes du canton de l'Île-Rousse ou bassin de vie de l'Île-Rousse qui comprenait les autres communes de L'Île-Rousse, Monticello, Pigna, Sant'Antonino et Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna. Depuis 2015, elle fait partie des 21 communes du nouveau canton de l'Île-Rousse

Géologie et relief
Corbara se situe dans la Corse occidentale ancienne, dite encore « Corse cristalline ». Celle-ci, constituée pour l'essentiel de roches granitiques, est séparée de la Corse orientale où dominent les schistes, par une dépression centrale, un sillon étroit constitué pour l'essentiel de terrains sédimentaires secondaires et tertiaires qui coupe l'île du nord-ouest au sud-est, depuis l'Ostriconi jusqu'à Solenzara. La commune se situe à l'ouest de cette ligne où s'élèvent les plus hauts sommets de l'île et qui constitue une véritable barrière entre les deux départements actuels.

Corbara, dont la superficie est de , occupe la partie centrale du littoral balanin. Sa façade maritime longue de  de côtes, court depuis l'embouchure du ruisseau de Teghiella (Aregno) à l'ouest, jusqu'à Percepina à près d'un kilomètre à l'est de la presqu'île de La Pietra (L'Île-Rousse). Son littoral comporte :

 une station balnéaire : la Marine de Davia. Ce sont trois petites criques de sable fin sur fond de baie dont la baie de Capite, un mouillage fréquenté par les plaisanciers durant la saison estivale ;
 le site naturel de Percepina en limite occidentale de la baie de Giunchetu ;
 le site naturel de Calcinaiu avant la plage d'Aregno ;
 quatre pointes : Punta di Varcale, Punta di Vallitone, Punta di Vignola et Punta di Parata.

Corbara n'a cependant pas de port de plaisance. À Davia se pratique le mouillage forain.

Côté terre, les limites de la commune avec celles de Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna sont bornées par Bocca Fogata, Cima Sant'Angelo et les hauteurs du couvent de Corbara. À partir de ces dernières, ses limites avec celles de la commune de Pigna passent par la chapelle Notre-Dame de Lazio, par les bords nord même du village de Pigna, jusqu'au ruisseau de Teghiella.
Un autre cours d'eau plus petit, le ruisseau d'Acqua Niella, a son embouchure à l'est de la plage de Botre.

Le plus haut sommet de la commune est Cima Sant'Angelo (mont Saint Ange - ). Le mont de Guido (), du nom de Guido de Sabellis, l'un des quatre princes romains envoyés en Corse par le pape Etienne IV pour la libérer du joug des Sarrasins, domine le village, les hameaux de U Borgu et de Pietralta.

Hydrographie
Le principal cours d'eau est le ruisseau de Migliani, long de , affluent du fiume de Teghiella qui délimite les communes de Corbara et d'Aregno depuis la confluence jusqu'à son embouchure à l'est de la plage d'Aregno. Il prend naissance au sud-est du territoire communal et est alimenté par le petit ruisseau de Fica Fosca.

À l'est, coule le petit ruisseau d'Acqua Niella qui se jette à la mer à l'est de la plage de Botre.

Climat et végétation
Le tapis végétal est représenté par un maquis composé des espèces traditionnelles, épais, parsemé d'oliviers et de chênes verts. En fin de période estivale, il n'est pas rare de voir quelques incendies se déclarer.
Dans une Balagne réputée sèche en été, la commune possède de nombreuses fontaines, certaines très anciennes.
La commune est soumise à de fortes précipitations printanières et automnales. Inondations et coulées de boue l'ont quelquefois touchée, la dernière fois le 6 juin 2000.

Voies de communication et transports

Accès routiers
 La route territoriale 30 (ex-RN 197) (aussi nommée route de Calvi) traverse la commune depuis le camping A Marina (Aregno) jusqu'à Fogata à la « sortie » Ouest de l'agglomération de L'Île-Rousse. À Fogata un rond-point a été aménagé pour les jonctions des routes route territoriale 30 (ex-RN 197), le boulevard de Fogata qui mène au port de L'Île-Rousse, la D 151 et la desserte d'un hypermarché Leclerc.
 La D 151 qui dessert le village de Corbara, donne accès à plusieurs villages de l'intérieur de la Balagne (Pigna, Aregno, Cateri, Montegrosso, Zilia et Calenzana) où elle prend le nom de « Route de Calenzana » jusqu'à sa jonction avec la RT 30, au rond-point dit de la Légion.
 La D 313 est une route qui relie la RT 30 à la D 151. Elle démarre à Bocca di Carbonaja - Hameau de Curzo, sur la RT 30.
 La D 263 enfin, permet depuis le nord du village de Corbara, de se rendre directement à Santa-Reparata-di-Balagna en passant par ses remarquables hameaux d'Occiglione et de Palmento.

Transports

Corbara se trouve sur le tracé de la ligne de chemin de fer des CFC mais ne possède pas de gare. Les gares les plus proches du village sont, de part et d'autre de la commune, la gare de L'Île-Rousse () et la gare d'Algajola (). U trinighellu, le petit train des plages estival entre Calvi et L'Île-Rousse, fait des arrêts à la Marine de Davia et à proximité du camping le Bodri.

Le village est distant, par route, de :
  de l'aéroport international de Calvi Sainte-Catherine, l'aéroport le plus proche ;
  du port de commerce de L'Île-Rousse, le port le plus proche.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Corbara est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction de L'Île-Rousse, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de moins de .

La commune, bordée par la mer Méditerranée, est également une commune littorale au sens de la loi du , dite loi littoral. Des dispositions spécifiques d'urbanisme s'y appliquent dès lors afin de préserver les espaces naturels, les sites, les paysages et l'équilibre écologique du littoral, comme par exemple le principe d'inconstructibilité, en dehors des espaces urbanisés, sur la bande littorale des , ou plus si le plan local d'urbanisme le prévoit.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des forêts et milieux semi-naturels (66 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (66,3 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
milieux à végétation arbustive et/ou herbacée (63,6 %), zones urbanisées (17,1 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (10,6 %), prairies (5,2 %), forêts (1,6 %), eaux maritimes (1,1 %), espaces ouverts, sans ou avec peu de végétation (0,8 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Corbara village
Avec ses deux proches hameaux, U Borgu à l'ouest et Pietralta au nord, Corbara forme un bourg construit à une altitude moyenne de . Le village est bâti autour de l'église-collégiale A Nunziata. Il est pittoresque par ses places, ses fontaines, ses passages voûtés, ses lavoirs et ses nombreux édifices religieux : une collégiale, un oratoire et quatre chapelles dans le village même.

Marine de Davia

La Marine de Davia est une station balnéaire quelquefois appelée « perle de la Balagne, un vaste espace résidentiel privé, un grand ensemble immobilier destiné principalement à la location. Ce complexe touristique privé d'accès réglementé, est surveillée à l'entrée par un poste de gardien. Les deux courts de tennis sont privés, réservés aux propriétaires et aux locataires. Par la Marine de Davia on accède à trois plages de sable fin, celles au fond des baies de Fornello, de Capite et de Vignola. Il y a également une halte des CFC.

Autres hameaux
D'autres hameaux font partie de la commune :
 Carbunaghja et Curzo au NO, sur le littoral et en contrebas du village ;
 Fogata, à l'entrée de L'Île-Rousse. Les habitations sont réparties de part et d'autre de la route territoriale 30 (ex-RN 197) ;
 Zone d'activité à San Ciprianu où se situe la chapelle éponyme. La zone est en plein développement. D'importants travaux ont été réalisés sur la RT 30 qui a été élargie et dotée de refuges et terrepleins arborés.

Toponymie
Le nom en corse de la commune est A Curbaghja. Au , le comte Mannone vint s'établir sur les pentes du mont de Guido, à l'actuel emplacement de la chapelle de Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs. Ce promontoire rocheux était dénommé curbaghja du fait de la présence de corbeaux ("corbeau" est dit corbu). L'appellation de ce lieu qui domine le village est à l'origine du nom de la commune.

La construction du mot, issu du latin corbus ("corbeau") avec juxtaposition suffixe –aria ("aire"), est analogue à celle du toponyme Corbière(s), courant en zone linguistique occitane.

Histoire

Moyen Âge
En 799 à Rome, peu après la donation de la Corse à la papauté par Pépin le Bref, certains Princes  se révoltent contre le Pape Léon III. Les principaux instigateurs de cette fronde sont : Ugo Colonna , Guido de Sabellis, Aimondo de Nasica et Napi.

Ils sont excommuniés et  envoyés dans les armées de Charlemagne à Aix-la-Chapelle.

À la mort de Léon III en 814, les familles des Princes romains exilés sollicitent leur retour. Le Pape Étienne IV accède à cette demande à la condition de reconquérir la Corse alors occupée par les Sarrasins.

Selon la tradition, un corps expéditionnaire issu des armées de Charlemagne est confié aux quatre Princes  qui délivrent l'île en 816. En récompense, Ugo Colonna est nommé comte de Corse et l'île est partagée en quatre :

Guido de Sabellis reçoit la province de Balagne. Il choisit de s'installer sur un sommet, à 400 mètres d'altitude, surplombant la mer, et qui portera le nom de mont de Guido. Il y fait construire un fortin dont les ruines sont encore visibles.

Son fils, Jacopino, fondateur des Pinascais de Balagne, fait bâtir un castel sur le monte Sant'Angelu. Ses ruines sont visibles au-dessus du couvent de Corbara.

La période 1002/1375 est marquée par des luttes incessantes entre les descendants de Jacopino et les seigneurs de Sant' Antonino et Bracaggio (Lumio).

En 1375, le comte Manonne, descendant de Guido de Sabellis, achève la construction d'un castel au lieu-dit U Forte (actuellement  U Fo, lieu d'implantation  de la chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs) et s'y installe. Un village se constitue autour de ce castel, sur les pentes du pic dit " Di a Curbaghja ". .

Manifestations culturelles et festivités

Économie
La commune vivait essentiellement des activités touristiques et de services durant la saison estivale. La zone d'activité (au départ une zone artisanale) créée le long de la RN 197 en contrebas du village, se développe rapidement. De grandes enseignes commerciales s'y sont implantées (bricolage, mode, chaussures, jouets, bazar, etc.).

Strada di l'Artigiani
Comme pour les villages voisins, l'agriculture demeure une activité ancestrale. Elle est ici représentée par l'oléiculture, l'apiculture et l'élevage, mais pas par la viticulture.

Corbara compte trois artisans et producteurs fermiers de la Strada di i Sensi (route des Sens authentiques) qui ont adhéré à l'association Strada di l'Artigiani (Route des artisans de Balagne). De ce fait, Corbara se trouve sur le circuit « Strada di l'Artigiani ».
Sur les routes de Balagne, des panneaux signalent ces routes et d'autres encore, œuvre du CREPAC :
– atelier de poterie du maître-potier Antoine Campana à Carbunaghja, ouvert toute l'année ;
– atelier d'Hélène Cancela (création de bijoux, gravures à l'eau-forte, pierres semi-précieuses…) ouvert tous les jours en saison estivale et sur RDV le restant de l'année ;
– société coopérative oléicole de Balagne, installée dans la zone artisanale de Corbara. Vente d'huile d'olive.

Culture locale et patrimoine

Lieux et monuments
Corbara possède des biens publics et privés classés Monuments historiques au Patrimoine culturel ainsi que  œuvres classées.
La mairie renferme un tableau Cléopâtre, peinture à l'huile sur toile du , classée monument historique par arrêté du 9 février 1995.

Couvent Saint-Dominique de Corbara
Il a été bâti vers 1430 sur les flancs du mont Saint-Ange (San'Anghjelu). À l'origine, il s'appelait couvent de Saint François de la Pieve d'Aregno.
En 1861, à la suite des franciscains, des dominicains italiens sont venus s'y installer. Chassés en 1903 après promulgation des Lois de Séparation de l'Église et de l'État, les dominicains y reviennent en 1927. Ils en repartiront en 1993.

Suchorowiec () ist ein kleiner Ort in der polnischen Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren und gehört zur Gmina Rozogi (Landgemeinde Friedrichshof) im Powiat Szczycieński (Kreis Ortelsburg).

Geographische Lage
Die Siedlung () Suchorowiec liegt in der südlichen Mitte der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren, wenige hundert Meter entfernt von der Grenze zur Woiwodschaft Masowien, die hier bis 1945 die Staatsgrenze zwischen dem Deutschen Reich und Polen war. Bis zur Kreisstadt Szczytno () sind es 22 Kilometer in nordwestlicher Richtung.

Geschichte
Lange vor der eigentlichen Dorfgründung wurde Suchorowietz (nach 1812 Alt Suchorowitz) schon 1764 erwähnt. Die Etablierung des Dorfes erfolgte erst 1787 – mit königlicher Bestätigung vom 14. April 1787. Neun Eigenkätner, die bisher hier ihre Scheffelplätze hatten, erhielten Ländereien. Im Jahre 1841 heiß es über ihre Lebensweise: "Der Landmann lebt hier sehr einfach und hat außerordentlich wenige Bedürfnisse. Seine Hauptnahrung besteht in Kartoffeln, die er des Morgens, Mittags und Abends teils mit Grücken, teils mit Kohl, selten mit Milch genießt".

Im Jahre 1874 wurde Suchorowitz dem neu errichteten Amtsbezirk Fürstenwalde (polnisch Księży Lasek) im ostpreußischen Kreis Ortelsburg zugeteilt.

145 Einwohner waren im Jahre 1910 in Suchowitz registriert, im Jahre 1933 waren es 140.

Aufgrund der Bestimmungen des Versailler Vertrags stimmte die Bevölkerung in den Volksabstimmungen in Ost- und Westpreußen am 11. Juli 1920 über die weitere staatliche Zugehörigkeit zu Ostpreußen (und damit zu Deutschland) oder den Anschluss an Polen ab. In Suchorowitz stimmten 99 Einwohner für den Verbleib bei Ostpreußen, auf Polen entfielen 4 Stimmen.

Am 3. Juni – amtlich bestätigt am 16. Juli – 1938 wurde Suchorowitz aus politisch-ideologischen Gründen der Abwehr fremdländisch klingender Ortsnamen in "Deutschwalde" umbenannt. Die Zahl der Einwohner belief sich im Jahre 1939 auf 126.

Mit dem gesamten südlichen Ostpreußen wurde Deutschwalde 1945 in Kriegsfolge an Polen überstellt und erhielt die polnische Namensform "Suchorowiec". Heute ist die Siedlung eine Ortschaft innerhalb der Landgemeinde Rozogi (Friedrichshof) im Powiat Szczycieński (Kreis Ortelsburg), bis 1998 der Woiwodschaft Ostrołęka, seither der Woiwodschaft Ermland-Masuren zugehörig.

Kirche
Bis 1945 war Suchorowietz resp. Deutschwalde in die evangelische Kirche Fürstenwalde (polnisch Księży Lasek) in der Kirchenprovinz Ostpreußen der Kirche der Altpreußischen Union sowie in die römisch-katholische Kirche in Groß Leschienen im Bistum Ermland eingepfarrt.

Heute gehören die evangelischen Einwohner von Suchorowiec zur Kirche in Szczytno (Ortelsburg) in der Diözese Masuren der Evangelisch-Augsburgischen Kirche in Polen. Die katholischen Einwohner gehören wie bisher zur Pfarrei in Lesiny Wielkie (Groß Leschienen), jetzt allerdings der dem Erzbistum Ermland zugehörig.

Schule
Eine Dorfschule gibt es seit 1840. Das Gebäude wurde 1936 renoviert.

Verkehr
Suchorowiec liegt an einem Landweg, der die Nachbardörfer Księży Lasek und Lesiny Wielkie miteinander verbindet. Aus der Woiwodschaft Masowien führt ein Landweg von Cyk aus nach Suchorowiec.

The Minginui Waikite Valley Explorer departs Taupo and loops back to Taupo on a 251 km route made up of tarmac,and public access gravel roads.
It takes you through Whirinaki Forest, interesting back country gravel roads through farmland and forestry, Minginui, Waikite Valley, and past Lake Ohakuri.
While this Exploration Route can be started at any point along the way, it has been structured to start and end at Z Tauhara Taupo, this is where the GPX file for Leg 1 starts.
This route aims to have as many gravel roads as possible and while there are still a reasonable number of tarmac stretches, the number of gravel roads will please any gravel seeking rider. All the gravel roads included in this route are Grade 1 and Grade 2.
There are a number of small streams to ford but nothing that poses any challenge when the streams are running at normal flow rates. Most will be running around 2 to 6 inches deep.
No permission is needed to access the routes in this Exploration Route however please note that some of the gravel roads pass through public access easement property. While it is legal to pass through these areas it is important to stick to the road.
This Exploration Route is recommended for fine weather. If there has been recent heavy rain then the fords can become deep and the road rutted. On the Waikaremoana road be aware of camper vans, and vehicles towing boats.

Today Valve released "Meet the Pyro," the last of the cinematic shorts featuring Team Fortress 2 classes. Unfortunately, it doesn't prove or disprove the rumors that the Pyro is secretly a girl.
It does, however, reveal that the Pyro is completely crazy. Crazy even by flamethrower-wielding maniac standards. I won't spoil the specifics. It deserves to be watched, though.
Accompanying the video is a new Pyromania update for TF2. It adds a Doomsday game mode and map, along with new items for several classes.

The breeze whistles the last tune of a fading winter around him. Don't cast a clout 'til May is out, he imagines Margaret warning. He shivers in the Fair Isle jumper she'd knitted, but smiles as he remembers the warmth of her voice.
"For snooker," she'd said, presenting the jumper to him for their anniversary. What one was that? Their forty-third… forty-fourth? Margaret would remember. Well, she would have done.
He does recall, though, sitting in the armchair by the log fire, rolling wool into balls as her needles clacked, sounding like a pair of joke shop false teeth. What he'd give for an evening like that now.
The bus – a single decker – lolls drunkenly around the corner before pulling up beside him with a hiss.
Hips stiff from standing, Derek clambers aboard, flashing his bus pass like an American cop in a TV show, then shuffles to the nearest empty seat. He lurches as the bus pulls away before he gets seated, but holds tightly to the egg.
Six more stops and he'll arrive at the convalescent home. Six stops and he'll be with her. Hurry! He checks his watch. Twenty past one – a minute earlier than yesterday, two minutes later than Thursday. Excitement flutters in his tummy. He can't wait to see Margaret.
Even now, he still feels the same rush of love for her that he first felt when they met. In his eyes she's hardly changed. She still has the same dark eyes, small and sharp as pencil points, and her hair, admittedly more grey than black now, still curls even though it's cut short.
Yes, even after the stroke she's still his Margaret.
He glances out of the window. Lambs are playing in the fields. It had been spring when they'd married; when he'd finally caught her. Pain sears through him. Would she remember that day of sunshine? He'll ask her later although she can't answer in full sentences just yet.
Tired, Derek rubs a hand over his face.
"Have a day to yourself," his neighbour has been urging. Sarah thinks he's mad to visit every single day; he can see it in her eyes. But she doesn't understand that he has to go. They've not spent a day apart in over forty years. Besides, Margaret will be home soon. The doctor said.
Eventually the bus stops outside the convalescent home. Holding onto the metal pole, he hauls himself upright.
The Easter egg under his arm, he trudges up the path to the front door.
"Cor, someone's in for a treat," the carer teases. Derek smiles as he follows, feeling as nervous as he had the afternoon he'd first met her parents.
"Margaret's better… chatting a bit more," the carer adds.
Ridiculously pleased, Derek grins as they reach her bedroom door. She's sitting in the chair by the window, a blanket over her knees.
"Derek… you came." Her smile is a little lop-sided.
She points to the egg.
She smiles as he lays the box on her lap.
She nods and he thinks this feels more like Christmas than Easter. In fact, it's all his Christmases rolled into one.
As she nods happily, he wipes away a single tear. Easter is his favourite time of the year.

Все франкские короли, а именно: шведский, английский, голландский и прочие, держат русского монарха в большом почёте. Они присылают ему ежегодно военное оружие, а он, в обмен на это, даёт пшеницу и рожь, нуж- ную им для пропитания и запасов. Совсем недавно один только правитель Швеции при- слал морем 24 000 ружей, стоящих более ста тысяч динаров.

Как мы удостоверились, все жизненные при- пасы в европейские земли идут из России.

After a team wins a championship, the good news for the collective runners-up is the conventional wisdom that maybe next year things will be different.
In the case of Catholic League baseball, maybe not.
The Neumann-Goretti High School team, which outlasted LaSalle 3-1 in last year's eight-inning championship pitching duel, looks almost exactly like the hungry group that has already raced out to a perfect 4-0 record with barely a trace of sweat.
After defeating Lansdale Catholic 5-2 in the season opener on March 26, the Saints have dispatched their next three opponents to the tune of 36-0.
Players are talking about doing something that has never been done during the Neumann era – winning consecutive league titles. The Saints last year became the first Neumann squad since 1960 to finish on top. What's kind of scary and probably disappointing for the rest of the Catholic League is that only two of the 10 starters graduated. A welcome addition is newcomer Mike Zolk, a junior who transferred from North Catholic as a playoff-tested, All-Catholic second baseman.
Zolk said it wasn't easy to leave North Catholic, but he wanted to make the most of his remaining two years of high school, and this will allow him to make many new friends heading into his senior year.
The irony that North Catholic was bounced from the playoffs by Neumann-Goretti 4-0 in last year's quarterfinals was not lost on Zolk.
The player that did most of the damage in Neumann-Goretti's 4-0 quarterfinal playoff win over North is returning. Senior lefty Mark Donato hurled a three-hit, nine-strikeout masterpiece and also contributed a two-run triple. He has already thrown a two-hitter against Lansdale Catholic and an abbreviated no-hitter against West Catholic this season.
Donato is still joined by fellow pitching aces Al Baur and Mike Riverso in what is easily the top pitching staff in the Catholic League, if not the tri-state area. If – probably when – the Saints reach the PIAA state playoffs, they will have a realistic chance of washing away the disappointment of losing in last year's state semifinals.
After winning the Catholic League last year, the architect of the program, 1992 Neumann graduate Lou Spadaccini, remembered what it had been like in the recent past when his team struggled through a 3-18 overall record in 2007.
Spadaccini talked about how the season was still enjoyable because it allowed him to spend time with his likeable players. Those youngsters have now taken the Catholic League by storm.
Now that the Saints have become the marquee team in the Catholic League, there may be some pressure to defend their reign. So far at least, that hasn't seemed to faze them.
Experience and maturity. In athletics, that's a lethal combination.
At press time, Neumann-Goretti was set to face 11-0 local powerhouse Germantown Academy at home. Mark Donato was scheduled to face Germantown's nationally recruited Kennan Kish on the mound.

Courage, Commitment, and Leadership Forum, Extraordinary Woman in the U.S Military – In Their Own Words
to Member News
Virginia International Tattoo
The Virginia Arts Festival hosted the Courage, Commitment, and Leadership Forum, Extraordinary Woman in the U.S Military – In Their Own Words as a part of the Virginia International Tattoo on April 26th in cooperation with the Hampton Roads Chamber. The Women's Panel consisted of incredible women leaders ranging in background and ranks including Captain Diane Carlson Evans, Captain Laura Glover, Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer, Rear Admiral Ann Phillips, General Lori Robinson, and Fleet Master Chief Susan Whitman.
The woman, through proudly serving in different branches of the military, have each had a hand in changing the trajectory of how woman are viewed, respected, and recognized within the military. Captain Laura Glover began the introductions speaking on her time in the Army and the hard work and dedication that it took to become the first female Drill Commander for the U.S. Army Drill Team.
Captain Diane Carlson Evans spearheaded the implementation of the first national monument, the Vietnam Woman's Monument, to recognize women in the military in Washington D.C. "We need to step up and do our part, I think woman have been doing that since the birth of our nation. We went where we were not wanted but we were very needed. We want to do our part that's what really shows as citizens, mothers, and women," said Captain Diane Carlson Evans.
After her own experiences dealing with sexual orientation as a woman in the military, Colonel Margaret Commermeyer, dedicated her time to lobby Congress to overturn the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. She has been a major influencer for the large strides the military has taken in accepting different sexual orientations. These are just a few of many ways in which these women have influenced the United States military.
The woman then took the time to take questions about their military experience and explain why they joined the military. The answers mirrored the values commonly found in the U.S. military including, protecting families, having a sense of military community, and the want and need to serve. "I wanted to do more, be more, so I did. Sometimes we do it because we do our job and we do it well and sometimes we do it regardless of the barrios to make it happen" said General Lori Robinson.
The Courage, Commitment, and Leadership Forum, Extraordinary Woman in the U.S Military – In Their Own Words was a welcomed part of the Virginia International Tattoo and provided a way to celebrate the service and impact of the decorated woman's military careers. The Hampton Roads Chamber is proud to support this initiative as a sponsor.
The Hampton Roads Chamber means business and works as a powerful economic partner, inspiring ignitor, impactful advocate, and regional collaborator for our diverse and inclusive business community.

Book Review: The Walled City by Ryan Graudin
2014 Releases, Book Reviews, Fantasy, Historical Fiction
Title: The Walled City
Author: Ryan Graudin
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆
Genre: Historical Fiction, Fantasy
Format Read: Paperback, 320 pages
Publication Date: 11th November 2014 by Indigo (Hachette Australia)
Synopsis: "There are three rules in the Walled City: Run fast. Trust no one. Always carry your knife. Right now, my life depends completely on the first. Run, run, run…
Disguised as a boy, Jin Ling searches for her missing sister, Mei Yee, who was sold into the brothels of the Walled City. It's a cut-throat world of gangs, drug-dealers and warlords and every day is a struggle to survive. Jin Ling relies on her speed and cunning but how long will her luck hold? When a mysterious boy, Dai, requests her help with a dangerous mission Jin Ling's inclined to say no – this is a world where no one can be trusted – but the mission offers her a vital chance to see inside the brothel where her sister may be being held.
Jin Ling and Dai join forces, but will either of them survive the mission? Is Mei Yee still alive? And how will any of them ever escape the stifling city walls?
With a fantasy setting inspired by Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong, Ryan's novel has a rich authenticity and an intense atmosphere, and its pace will enthral the reader from the very first page."
The Walled City was one of my most anticipated reads of 2014. I (obviously) wasn't able to get to it in 2014, so I made it my priority read for January. You have no idea how excited I was to hear that we have a young-adult book set in HONG KONG. When I found out it was set in the infamous Kowloon City, which I had no idea about, I asked my parents about it. Oddly enough they've never heard of the place either, so I turned to my trusty internet instead. I'm not going to bombard you with history, but rather let these images speak for itself.
Can you even imagine living in such a densely packed place, because that's where our three main characters are situated. While Graudin has given the city as well as Hong Kong new names (Hak Nam and Seng Ngoi respectively), the places remain the same. The book follows Jin Ling, Mei Yee and Dai who are all trying to survive within this city run by a drug lord called Longwai. In a place without government control, Longwai has full reign of a city where even the police will not step into. He along with his Brotherhood of henchmen smuggles drugs into Hong Kong and runs a brothel where Mei Yee resides, having been sold into prostitution by her father.
Jin Ling is searching for her sister and does everything she can to survive within the city. She pretends to be a boy because girls are taken and sold into prostitution if they have no family within Hak Nam. Dai on the other hand is searching for a way into Longwai's brothel to retrieve a ledger that will ensure his freedom back in Seng Ngoi, and he's only got 18 days left to find it. The book weaves the stories of all three characters together pretty early on, and while it was quite predictable, it makes sense as well.
I really loved the atmosphere of the book, and each of the characters' survival instincts are pretty spot on. Jin Ling steals from shops as well as from small gangs in order to survive. While escaping from her latest steal, she's noticed by Dai who proposes an offer that would provide her with money as well as a way into Longwai's brothel to search for her sister. Dai and Jin become Longwai's drug runners, where Jin delivers drugs while Dai waits as collateral damage. This works well for him as he manages to gain access into the brothel. Mei Yee on the other hand works in Longwai's brothel where a man named Osamu has paid good money to have her all to himself. While Osamu offers her a way out from Longwai's prison into a more luxurious one, Mei Yee hesitates to accept when a mysterious boy appears at her window and offers her another way out.
The story is brilliantly set out, but I must admit that it moved at a snail's pace. Although the 18 days were slowly disappearing, I never got the sense of urgency from Dai that I was expecting, especially since he's gambling away his freedom and life. A lot of the book is spent explaining the backstory of the characters and what is motivating them to their current predicament. While it was necessary, I felt like there was too much focus on it, and unfortunately that stifled the pacing quite a bit. Another thing I didn't like was the romance. Mei Yee falls in love with the mystery boy much too quickly but I can understand he's like a beacon of hope for her. Dai on the other hand had no excuse and the insta-romance made me roll my eyes quite a bit.
Aside from the slow pacing and the romance, I did enjoy this book overall. I really loved the unique setting of the story (more Asian settings please authors), and all three characters were beautifully drawn out. Ryan Graudin did a great job in recreating such an integral part of Hong Kong history and introducing it to a new generation of readers.

INALIENABLE RIGHTS CAN ONLY COME FROM GOD
Posted on May 4, 2019 by Ron Edwards
Humanism (man the measure of all things), the currently taught world view in our schools, colleges and universities, creates its own moral values depending upon who is in control at the time. How foolish and how devastating will be its eventual outcome. There is no meaning to life, therefore there is no problem for a mother take the human life that has grown in her womb, if she so desires, for whatever reason, nor for governments to terminate the life of the elderly and frail who can no longer contribute to society.
God tells us in His Word that this will be the chaotic state of the world just prior to Jesus return to earth to rule and reign. "He shall rule them with a rod of iron." Revelation 2:27. Jesus said, at His return, it will be like in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah when God stepped in and judged the nations that existed in those days.
We are seeing the prophesied end times events unfold in our lifetime, the God given inalienable rights which once shaped the laws and values of the Western World are being thrown out one at a time. The courts which are not subject to the people are now shaping our society according to the humanist values of the lawyers making the laws.
Where are the Bible believing Christians that do not believe in evolution that undergirds humanism? Sadly, many have accepted billions of years that is needed for the evolutionary paradigm. Why can't they see that Noah's flood provides the evidence to explain the appearance of billions of years in the geologic record. If you need proof, then check out http://www.creation.com for evidence from PhD scientists. Truth that is being rejected by secular scientists only because they cannot countenance a Creator (to whom they would be responsible) and they would need to give up their hedonistic lifestyle.
Needed now more than ever, this explosive message by Francis Schaeffer shows why morality and freedom have crumbled in our society. In the 1980's he called for a massive movement – in government, law, and all of life – to reestablish our Judaeo-Christian foundation and turn the tide of moral decadence and loss of freedom.
His book A Christian Manifesto (written in 1981 as a couterpoint to Humanist Manifesto 1 (1933) & 11 (1973)) was literally a call for Christians to change the course of history-by returning to biblical Truth and by allowing Christ to be Lord in all of life. Sadly, we failed to take up the call.

NOW IS TIME TO BE DOERS OF THE WORD
Posted on April 23, 2019 by Ron Edwards
If you have been following Nelson Walters of Gospel in the End Times YouTube videos, you will have learnt much already about what the Bible reveals about the timing of Jesus second coming. In particular, Christians can expect to be on earth during the tribulation and great tribulation predicted during the last seven years before Jesus returns to earth, to rule and reign the nations from Jerusalem. Jesus promised His elect would not experience the wrath of God, but the Bible is clear God's wrath is poured out with the seven Trumpet and seven Bowl judgements. It is at the sixth seal, we read in Revelation 6:17 "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand."
You will need to watch this video "How to Prepare for the Last Days" on YouTube just click on Watch this video on YouTube. It will assist Nelson to keep these videos up on YouTube.
Now is the time to be doers of the word is the clear message of this movie length video, but Nelson also reviews the events that are unfolding in these last days that match Biblical prophecy. The initial impact of the last days events are already on us. God is bringing catastrophes to provide opportunities for Christians to witness and present the Good News.
BIBLICAL PROPHECY UNFOLDING IN OUR TIME
Tens of Thousands of Iran's Missiles in Syria are Pointed at Israel,' Threatens Iranian Official
In addition to threatening the Jewish state, a top adviser to the Iranian foreign minister declared during a recent TV interview that "Palestine and Jerusalem will surely be liberated soon."
Former Iranian ambassador to Syria Hossein Sheikholeslam told Iran's IRINN TV that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad had pledged a leading role for the Islamic Republic in Syria's reconstruction and the return of refugees following the brutal civil war that has torn asunder Assad's nation.
According to Sheikholeslam, Iran deployed tens of thousands of missiles in Syria to protect against "American and Israeli aggression," referring to U.S. President Donald Trump as a "tyrannical king." Sheikholeslam added that "Palestine and Jerusalem will surely be liberated soon," claiming that Israel should immediately leave the Golan Heights.
Prior to the reestablishment of Israel in 1948 none of the "end times" prophecies of a restored Israel with Jerusalem as its capital would have been possible particularly this prophecy by Jesus concerning His Second Coming:
"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies then know its desolation is near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things written may be fulfilled." Luke 21: 20-21
This is a direct reference to Daniels 70 weeks prophecy. Daniel 9: 24-27
ROAD MAP TO THE END TIMES
Posted on January 7, 2019 by Ron Edwards
ROAD MAP FOR END TIMES EVENTS BASED ON BIBLICAL PROPHECY
What are the order of the end times events given by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse and Revelation?
In these two books of the Bible the same 13 events are prophesied to happen in the same exact order. Is this Road Map confirmed in 2 separate books? What are the odds that this could happen by chance? Watch this 18 minute video by Nelson Walters and you will find out.
DEFENCE MINISTER: ISRAEL ON ITS WAY TO WAR
Posted on October 23, 2018 by Ron Edwards
"We have examined all the options and Israel's final resort is to strike at Hamas," Defence Minister Liberman said.
This report by Jack Gold, World Israel News, on rumour of war with Israel fits what Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse would be evident in the last days in the lead up to the last seven years prophesied by Daniel (70th week) and confirmed in Revelation.
"And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:6-8
Egyptian mediation has failed and Israel is on its way to war. That was the message Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman delivered Monday to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee.
Israel has recently seen an increase in the intensity and the volume of violence and attacks emanating from Gaza, which culminated in Wednesday's rocket attack on Israel which destroyed a home in Beersheba.
Defence Minister Avigdor Liberman (C) arrives to a Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee meeting at the Knesset, on October 22, 2018.
Palestinian riots on Israel's border with Gaza are not "popular protests" as Hamas depicts them but rather carefully orchestrated violence organised by the terror group, he said.
"Fifteen thousand people do not show up by foot at the border fence," Liberman said. "We have been talking since March 30 about the tens of millions [of shekels] Hamas has spent … They pay for every person killed $3,000, each seriously wounded $500, and a moderately injured [rioter receives] less than $200."
No deal with Hamas
"When we talk about an arrangement and I'm expressing my opinion here – I do not believe in any arrangement with Hamas. It does not work, it has not worked in the past, it will not work in the future," the defence minister stated.
Israel has "reached a situation where there is no alternative – anything other than the hardest, heaviest blow that we are capable of dealing Hamas in the Gaza Strip – will not help. We are in a state of 'no choice,'" he added. "We have arrived at that point where we need to arrive at decisions, we have examined all the options."
Hamas has called for war on Israel, and Hamas means what it says, he noted, and "therefore, we need to reach clear conclusions, and beyond the conclusions we need actions."
The Security Cabinet met Wednesday night to consider its response to a rocket attack from Gaza. Its discussion was not made public.
PENCE SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT ISRAEL'S HISTORY
Posted on January 29, 2018 by Ron Edwards
Pence thrills Knesset with fiery, biblical, pro-Israel speech
Michael Pence quotes Scripture and is an uncompromising witness for God in these dark days. You will need 30 minutes but it is a encouraging an inspiring speech. Sadly, he reaffirmed the USA's support for a two State solution for Palestine. Coercing Israel to give away land God gave to them is not smart.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out with the Bible's end time prophesies that are Israel/Middle East/Islam centric. It certainly puts the U.S.A. in God's "good books" but by lining up with Israel, it will unify Sunni and Shia Muslims against a common enemy, Israel and USA, only now intensified.
As mentioned in a previous post, the next major event in "end times" Bible prophecy is Iran's (ram of Daniel 8) invasion of surrounding Islamic nations. Already, it would appear this has started with thousands of Iranian troops in Syria and Iraq. Also, Iran's leadership of Hezbollah and its intentions is shown in The New York Times article "Iran out to Remake Mideast with Arab Enforcer – Hezbollah".
Michael Pence gives us all a great example of being bold and courageous to speak Biblical truth in these "last days" regardless of the cost.
PENTAGON STUDY DECLARES AUTHORITY OF GOVERNMENTS WORLD WIDE IS COLLAPSING
An extraordinary new Pentagon study has concluded that the U.S.-backed international order established after World War 2 is "fraying" and may even be "collapsing", leading the United States to lose its position of "primacy" in world affairs.
The solution proposed to protect U.S. power in this new "post-primacy" environment is, however, more of the same: more surveillance, more propaganda ("strategic manipulation of perceptions") and more military expansionism.
The report was published in June by the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute to evaluate the Department of Defence's approach to risk assessment at all levels of Pentagon policy planning. The study was supported and sponsored by the U.S. Army's Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate; the Joint Staff, J5 (Strategy and Policy Branch); the Office of the Deputy Secretary of Defence for Strategy and Force Development; and the Army Study Program Management Office.
The document concludes that the world has entered a fundamentally new phase of transformation in which U.S. power is in decline, international order is unravelling, and the authority of governments everywhere is crumbling.
Having lost its past status of "pre-eminence", the U.S. now inhabits a dangerous, unpredictable "post-primacy" world, whose defining feature is "resistance to authority".
Surely this is another indicator we are entering the "last Days" prophesied by Jesus.
"And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains." Matthew 24:6-8
ONE SIGN PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN – EARTHQUAKES IN DIVERSE PLACES
Iran Turned Down Israeli Aid Offer After Earthquake
At least 530 people were killed and 7,700 more were injured when a 7.3-magnitude earthquake shook a mountainous Iranian border town in the West on Sunday, triggering landslides that hindered rescue efforts and left hundreds of houses damaged.
Israel offered aid to the Islamic republic after it was was hit by a powerful earthquake but was turned down, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Addressing the Jewish Federations of North America's (JFNA) annual General Assembly in Los Angeles via videoconference on Tuesday, Netanyahu said that Israel had offered the aid via the Red Cross.
"I just saw the pictures of the destruction in Iran and Iraq from this week's earthquake. And I saw these heartbreaking images of men and women and children buried under the rubble. So I am proud to announce tonight that a few hours ago I directed that we offer the Red Cross medical assistance for the Iraqi and Iranian victims of this disaster," Netanyahu said, according to the Times of Israel.
As expected, the offer was immediately rejected. "This shows the true face of the Iranian regime," an official in Netanyahu's office said.
Iran does not recognise Israel's right to exist and is committed to destroy it, so the well being of its citizens is of secondary concern.
"Earthquakes in various places" Matthew 24:7 – Just in this month of November 2017, there have been numerous earthquakes of above 6 magnitude; New Guinea PNG 6.5 on 07/11/2017, Izu Islands Japan 6.0 on 09/11/2017, Ascension Islands Region 6.1 on 11/11/2017, Iran/Iraq border 7.3 on 12/11/2017, Costa Rica 6.7 on 13/11/2017.
DANIELS – GOD'S IRRELEVANT IN VICTORIA
Slavery to atheistic dogma rife in Victoria
Religious liberty is all very well and all that, but it has its limits in Victoria's state schools where principals are bound by Ministerial Direction 145.
The determination allows faith-based religious instruction at the principal's discretion providing no child attends for more than 30 minutes a week, and then only in the lunch break or in the hour before or after school. Parents must complete form CD145 — available in 15 languages — to give consent.
Instructors must be referred to as instructors or special instructors, never as teachers. Teaching material cannot be described as "curriculum" and may only be referred to as "materials" or "program materials".
The Safe Schools program is different. There is no parental red tape to navigate since Safe School classes are compulsory and will be conducted in every state school by next year.
In summary, parents must apply to have kids study the Biblical canon, but they don't get asked if they'd like their kids to study OMG I'm Queer, OMG I'm Trans, Gayby Baby, or anything else included in the School Action Toolkit "that explores family diversity in a fun & insightful way". Principals don't ask parents, they consult an amorphous entity that the Department of Education calls "the broader school community". OMG indeed.
For a glimpse of what a Bill Shorten prime ministership may entail, head to his home state of Victoria where Daniel Andrews's track record reads like "a wish list for progressives", according to one fan writing in the Huffington Post, an online journal for readers who find The Age too conservative.
"Australian-first program of medical cannabis? Check," writes the fan. "A $572 million package for domestic violence, more money even than the federal government spends nationwide? Check. An Australia-first LGBTI 'pride centre' and specific gender-diverse health services? Check."
The OMG list gets worse. "Directly defying Canberra and standing in opposition to cutting funding for LGBTI education program, the Safe Schools Coalition? Check. A huge increase to legal services for asylum-seekers? Check."
As Paul Kelly reminded us on these pages last weekend, the Andrews government now wants to legalise what it delicately calls "voluntary assisted dying". Putting poor old Grandpa out of his misery? Check.
Andrews is undoubtedly the most hardline, ideological, left-wing premier to assume office in this or any other state. As Liberal MP Bernie Finn said recently: "This bloke makes Joan Kirner look like a softie."
A half-century ago Gough Whitlam flew to Melbourne to tell the state's left faction they were behaving like a bunch of losers.
"We construct a philosophy of failure, which finds in defeat a form of justification and a proof of the purity of our principles," he told them, raising his voice above the jeers and catcalls. "Certainly the impotent are pure."
Whitlam was Labor's first leader to hold a university degree, a handicap many assumed disqualified him from the job. Today the party is full of them, but sadly few have the learning of Whitlam, who graduated long before the education was dumbed down.
Today Whitlam would probably be scratching his head and wondering how it came to pass that a morally vain extremist such as Andrews, armed with the soft-headed philosophy of cultural inclusion, could ever have been elected in the first place, let alone be seen as a serious contender in the polls next year.
Andrews has achieved the seemingly impossible in reconciling the sensitivities of the sophisticates with the day-to-day anxieties of the masses.
He has an army of media minders to run a virtual newsroom, turning out dozens of asinine press releases weekly, whistling to both audiences.
On one hand they are steeped in symbolic concern about the vulnerable, pledged to give a voice to the voiceless, dedicated to restoring fairness and promise to make Victoria a safe place.
On the other hand they boast of jobs precincts, better kindergartens, new school buildings, level-crossing and road improvements, addressing the practical concerns in the regions and outer suburbs.
Meanwhile his government panders to activism by handing out thousands of grants, large and small, to community organisers of every stripe. It pays for the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council's Multicultural Dinner, hands over a lazy half-mill to LGBTI support groups to counsel LGBTI Victorians disturbed by a plebiscite, and chucks money at the Feminist Writers Festival in recognition of its "important role in challenging sexism and gender stereotypes, and fostering cultural change".
It embarks on "a creative new approach to reduce homophobia" by subsidising the development of "an engaging digital app that will give players of all ages insights into the experiences of LGBTI people and the prejudices and discrimination they can face".
The government funds Literacy Leader Induction Workshops to provide every government primary school with "a trained literacy leader". Just one, apparently, but it's a start.
And so in countless feel-good ways, announced in countless fawning press releases, the Andrews government funds a growing bullshit industry, employing countless professional do-gooders in meaningless bullshit jobs.
When Andrews boasts of the jobs he has created, he neglects to mention that the taxpayer is paying for most of them. The growth in education, health, welfare and much heavy construction is funded by the state. But when your only work experience is in politics, that probably doesn't matter.
At best the bullshit industry is merely ineffective, but we suspect the moral harm is worse. The application of identity politics, the constant affirmation of diversity and the pleas on behalf of the vulnerable feed a culture of complaint and entitlement. It erodes the personal virtues of prudence, fortitude and courage by outsourcing responsibility for individual destiny to the machinery of state.
It is customary for outgoing Labour governments to leave a fiscal deficit on the doormat. The moral deficit Andrews is likely to leave behind will be altogether harder to clean up.

PROPHESIED END TIMES EVENTS – INCREASE IN NATURAL DISASTERS
Posted on September 17, 2017 by Ron Edwards
Apocalyptic September? Here Is A List Of 27 Major Disasters That Have Already Happened So Far This Month.
The Bible does talk about an increase of natural disasters in the "last days". Jesus also warns us many times in the Olivet Discourse to be watchful for the signs He gives us preparatory to His second coming. Apostasy in the church is an important one and so evident in the church today as it caves in to gay marriage and homosexual pastors.
We know the Pharisees and the Sadducees missed His first coming despite the warning of 300 odd Bible prophecies. When we read Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, we wonder how the Jews still don't recognise their Messiah but as there is a growing number of Messianic Jews, obviously some do. Despite there being many more prophecies of Jesus second coming than His first, will church leaders be like the Pharisees and Sadducees and miss it, thereby not being in a position to warn their parishioners?
Jesus seminal teaching on the state of the church at His second coming is the parable of the Ten Virgins.
This parable is about ten virgins (CHURCHGOERS) who keep themselves pure as they await the return of the bridegroom (JESUS).
Five of the virgins are described as wise and five foolish.
While the bridegroom was delaying, they ALL got drowsy and fell asleep.
At a trumpet blast all awoke but half did not have oil (HOLY SPIRIT) for their lamps and did not go into the wedding feast. In fact, when they returned Jesus said, "depart from Me, I don't know you".
In the parable of the Ten Virgins, we see that Jesus tells us that all the church is asleep as they wait for His return. Jesus did not say those who hold the correct Rapture theory are awake and the rest are asleep, He is saying the church as a whole is asleep. Soberly, this parable also reveals that half of the church are seekers but not saved. It also suggests we have a mission field in our churches, but the half that are saved are asleep, so not able to help the seekers in their churches.
The timing of the Rapture question is not an academic one. THE ETERNAL DESTINY OF MILLIONS OF CHURCHGOERS IS AT STAKE IN THE ANSWER. Jesus's parables are usually about contrasts between the righteous and the wicked, but in this parable both groups fall asleep waiting for the return of the bridegroom! Both the foolish and the wise are probably sleeping right now, meaning that most of us are slumbering in regard to the return of our Lord. That is a humbling statement. What is the state of your church on this critical issue?
MAJOR DISASTERS SO FAR THIS MONTH
( )) Mexico earthquake 8.2 imminent tsunami. Beach lines are receded at least 50+ meters, ( )) Yellowstone volcano is hit with earthquake swarm of over 2,300 tremors since June, recording a 4.4 quake on June 15, 20017 and 3.3 shaker on August 21, 2017, (( )) 5.3 earthquake rumbles through Idaho, (( )) Japan earthquake 6.1 possible tsunami, Texas is under water. India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, experience record monsoons and massive death toll. Sierra Leone and Niger experience massive floods, mudslides, and deaths in the thousands.
Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia are crushed in the death grip of a triple digit heat wave, dubbed Lucifer.
California is on fire. Oregon is on fire. Washington is on fire. British Columbia is on fire. Alberta is on fire. Montana is on fire. Nova Scotia is on fire. Greece is on fire. Brazil is on fire. Portugal is on fire. Algeria is on fire. Tunisia is on fire. Greenland is on fire. The Sakha Republic of Russia is on fire. Siberia is on fire. Southern California continues to swelter under triple digit heat that shows no sign of letting up. In usually chilly August, the city of San Francisco shatters all-time record at 106 degrees, while it reaches 115 degrees south of the city. Northern California continues to bake in the triple digits.
And last but not least an X10 C.M.E solar flare two nights ago. The highest recorded solar flare ever!
In my lifetime we have never had this number of natural disasters in one month. Moreover they are occurring like "birth pangs" with ever increasing frequency and magnitude.

BWW Review: MAMMA MIA Proves A Super Trouper in Regional Premiere at Riverside Center
The view looks pretty good from a pair of platform shoes. Heck, even on an idyllic, Greek island resort there's not a moment of stress and strain that can't be cured by breaking into the hits of Sweden's number one pop group, ABBA.
Located just south of the metropolitan DMV area (off of I-95), Riverside has grabbed MAMMA MIA! ahead of tons of other professional theatres, so they are rightly boasting a regional premiere for this production, running through March 4. From what I could tell during my visit, audiences are responding favorably and want to get their ABBA fix - along with a Greek-inspired menu that had me shouting "Opa!"

Monkey puzzle
UK: EVERY so often a dealer will acquire an object of academic interest for relatively little money and put it into an auction to see how much it will make.
ATG Reporter
Such were the circumstances which surrounded the entry of this Austrian earthenware plaque to Sotheby's South in Sussex for sale on January 31. Evidently a piece of some quality to judge by the sophistication and detail of the relief moulding throughout, the plaque bore the marks of Ernst Wahliss' Turn foundary in Vienna, although why a man better known for French influenced Art Nouveau ceramics should bother himself with a satirical commemorative of a colonial war on the other side of the world, presently remains a mystery.
The plaque depicts three monkeys relaxing on a balcony in a tropical setting, one of whom is reading a newspaper inscribed with images of ships and the words Amerika and Spain, two countries who went to war in 1898 over the putative independence of Cuba.
Predominant historical theory on the causes of the war suggests that McKinley's American government wanted control of Cuba for its coal and sugar cane and, with the help of Hearst and Pulitzer's 'yellow press', either concocted or exaggerated news of native rebellion against ruthless suppression by the Spanish authorities in order to whip up support for a war among an apathetic, generally war-weary, American public.
In this context, and considering that Europe was deeply opposed to US involvement, the three symbolic monkeys could be seen as the otiose and hypocritical American public – enjoying the luxuries that Cuba can offer (tobacco and coffee) while reading, hearing and speaking evil about the country.
The war may have been all about commerce, but interest in the plaque was mostly intellectual, and it sold to an English dealer at £350 (plus 15 per cent premium).
