Have you noticed that you are denied more and more liberty unless you swear allegiance to your Novus Ordo Seclorum secular New World Order? There is a reason for this.
Their assault on your liberty will incrementally increase until you acquiesce. Resistance is futile. You will assimilate. Your only options will be to either live as a hermit, or join a community of believers who will not violate fundamental principles.
Government is a manmade (graven) artificial entity. It was created on paper — the Constitution — and run by those who swear an oath of allegiance to obey the words on paper. Now that everyone was taught to automatically worship the artificial entity, the Real ID laws demand allegiance to a not-real graven-image.
Their unceasing march to compel allegiance will continue. They will eliminate most buying and selling until you comply. When Islamic extremists in Syria had a kneel or starve policy, the rest of the world called it genocide. It happens in the U.S. every day and nobody notices.
The U.S. Supreme Court in Aptheker v. Secretary of State, quoted below, declared that identification documents are abhorrent in the U.S. And that's right here in a country where the Supreme Court declared in Marbury v. Madison that elected government officers were not entitled to, and could not get, government ID to prove who they are. That's right. We don't need no stinking badges.
FORCED ALLEGIANCE
As a comparison to state ID laws, lets examine the Passport application. Applying for a passport presumes an oath of Allegiance. Title 22 US Code section 6-212:
"No passport shall be granted or issued to or verified for any other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or not, to the United States".
And now the Real ID state ID and driver licenses do the same thing. REAL ID is a real nightmare.
FORCED SLAVERY
There is no need to repeal the 13th Amendment to legalize slavery. Don't look now, but voluntary slavery is perfectly Constitutional.
Allegiance is required by Homeland Security in their Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, section 337 as a commitment to perform unpaid slave labor.
… I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God"
A passport application legally makes one subject to indefinite "work of national importance." Is there a limit to this "work of national importance", or is it an oath to perform unlimited hours of perpetual slavery?
Now go to a Law Dictionary and lookup Villenage. "A feudal tenure whereby the tenant was bound to do all such services as the lord commanded". Welcome to your Novus Ordo Seclorum.
THE IRONY OF TODAY'S FORCED ALLEGIANCE
A forced signature is not a signature. It is a crime to force a signature.
How did we evolve from a government that secures the blessings of liberty, to one that denies the right to travel (and SSN wage authorization numbers) until you swear a perjury-oath signature on government applications? Back in 1956 the Supreme Court determined in Ullmann v. United States, 350 U.S. 422 that such punishments are for criminal acts, and now the same punishments are automatic until you are compelled to deny religious liberty.
"The forfeiture of property on compelled testimony is no more abhorrent than the forfeiture of rights of citizenship. Any forfeiture of rights as a result of compelled testimony is at war with the Fifth Amendment.
"The Court apparently distinguishes the Boyd case on the ground that the forfeiture of property was a penalty affixed to a criminal act. The loss of a job and the ineligibility for a passport are also penalties affixed to a criminal act.
RELIGIOUS OBJECTIONS ARE NOW MEANINGLESS
ID applications are submitted under the penalty of perjury according to the law, even if the signature line fails to mention the standard perjury-oath signature stipulation.
Licenses and ID cards now require swearing, contrary to the command of Christ to never swear. Christ told us to never swear oaths in Matthew 5:34. Above all thing, Christians will not swear oaths, least they be condemned. James 5:12.
Some states have regulations that require a signature under penalty of perjury, but now hide the requirement for swearing by using the word "declare" — which means the same thing and has the same effect. And they like to point out that "affirm" does not invoke any religious connotation. They lie. It has the same effect. Just because some Quakers once allegedly agreed — or at least failed to protest — the affirmation redefinition, does not mean "affirm" remains free of religious connotation. It might as well mean that you kneel to the state as your god.
Another requirement is that you must be a resident. See definitions, below. Also look up your own state's definition. You cannot qualify to be a resident without applying for government granted-benefits. Once you ask for benefits, you are reduced to slavery. Every Law Dictionary will tell you "The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery" Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.
In a nation where we are all created equal, only subordinates will take oaths. Equals will not salute equals. Equals have no duty to obey other equals.
A perjury oath signature is an oath.
Every encyclopedia and dictionary will tell you that an oath is a religious ritual.
Hebrews 6:16, oaths are only taken to superiors.
James 5:12 Above all things, do not swear, least ye be condemned. Why am I required to condemn myself to regain a right to contract?
When ISIS in Syria starved Christians to death with their "kneel or starve" policy, everyone called it genocide. Why do U.S. banks and employers commit genocide and nobody cares?
DEFINITIONS OF RESIDENT.
Black's Law Dictionary, first edition (published in 1891 long after the 14th Amendment) gives the definition of Resident:
"RESIDENT: A tenant, who was obliged to reside on his lord's land, and not depart from the same, a resident may not be entitled to all the privileges or subject to all the duties of an inhabitant. 9 Wend. 11.
Vittel's Law of Nations, chapter 19 (attached):
residents are aliens who do not enjoy the rights of citizenship."
Do not think that this has changed. You changed. You forfeited your citizenship.
U.S. NATIONAL ID LAW WRITTEN BY KGB CHIEFS
Ex-KGB Chiefs Gen. Yevgeni Primakov (also former President of Russia and close associate of Saddam Hussein) and Karpov were hired as consultants to work in the Department of Homeland Security to help in designing an internal passport for U.S. under the pretense of fighting the never-ending 'war on terrorism'.

YOUR GLOBAL ID IS IN YOUR POCKET
L1 Identity Systems, Inc. http://www.l1id.com/ provides equipment and software used to produce State licenses and U.S. Passports that meet all global standards. L1 is owned by a French company, Safran, that is one-third owned by the French government. Your biometric data and proof of allegiance (as collateral for the national debt) is now partially owned by the European Union. Welcome to your Novus Ordo Seclorum.
THE BATTLE AGAINST INTERNATIONAL ID
http://www.homelandsecuritynewswire.com/oklahoma-woman-battles-against-real-id
Those who think that rights come from government can complain about discrimination.
Here is a link to a 2006 study that shows 18% of seniors, and 25% of blacks do not have photo identification. Here. This study influenced some state courts to declare their voter ID laws were unconstitutional.
Involuntary servitude is prohibited by the 13th Amendment. Voluntary servitude is entirely Constitutional. They are setting us up for slavery. How harsh will be this "work of national importance" that you agreed to perform for 24 hours a day for the rest of your life? Even Compton's dictionary says that statute labor is often indistinguishable from slavery.
Why give allegiance to the manmade (graven – created) above your allegiance to the Creator? We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that to secure those rights governments are created among men. How can it be that any government that was created to secure Creator-endowed (God-given) rights, now conditions those rights upon a denial of God? Nature's God entitles the U.S. to exist, according to the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence. How can this entitlement be presumed by those who now deny the legitimacy of their office.
Doesn't the first Commandment require allegiance to the LORD, a jealous god, such that you would have no other Elohiym before Him?
Doesn't the second Commandment prohibit bowing down (saluting) or serving a manmade (graven) artificial entity?
The truth that we are all created equal IS the opposite of allegiance.
We would not have a Switzerland today if William Tell had saluted judge Gissler. Scotland has their own Parliament because Braveheart William Wallace chose to be executed rather than pledge allegiance to the King of England. And the U.S. Supreme Court tells us that we have a Fifth Amendment because in 1637 John Lilburn risked being torn apart by teams of horses rather than swear an oath to King Charles.
Those who seek to save their lives will lose them. Luke 17:33. Just like all the apostles who were executed. They stood firm.
Galatians 5:1 (KJV) "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."
Those who endure to the end shall be saved.
Your duty is to obey the LORD and suffer the consequences.
Obedience to counterfeit authority is mutiny against legitimate authority.
YOUR PAPERS PLEASE.
U.S. Supreme Court Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500 (1964):
"Free movement by the citizen is of course as dangerous to a tyrant as free expression of ideas or the right of assembly and it is therefore controlled in most countries in the interests of security. … That is why the ticketing of people and the use of identification papers are routine matters under totalitarian regimes, yet abhorrent in the United States."
Many Jews today still oppose mandatory ID, see: http://jpfo.org/alerts/alert20011116.htm
We fought those who demanded IDs. We have not won a war since then.
Welcome to your fascist Novus Ordo Seclorum. Same as the old one we fought against.

Merry Science of Literature (Almost an Essay)
Rita Tūtlytė
by Vilnius University Press
Journal: Literatūra
Literatūra, Volume 63, pp 58-70; https://doi.org/10.15388/litera.2021.1.4
The article investigates the development of the literary studies of Lithuanian literature over the past three decades pointing out some mental movements as well as difficulties of "transferrence" and "hermeneutics" of selfreflection. The article is not focused on describing all the schools of literary studies that were under formation at that time, the translated theoretical works or on classifying the researchers of the period (some names are mentioned sporadically as an example only). The aim is to give just one perspective without aiming to provide an objective wholsome overwiew.
Dissemination of Lithuanian Literature: Becoming Part of World Literature
Nijolė Maskaliūnienė
The article discusses the policy of dissemination of national literature abroad as one of the soft power practices used for the formation of the image of the country and the country's literature, created through the translated and published works of Lithuanian authors in foreign languages. It also reviews the current situation, the selection of the works to be translated, institutions and bodies in charge of this dissemination, and problems of the research on the reception of the works (authors) translated into foreign languages.
The Impact of Deconstruction on the Lithuanian Literary Criticism
Aušra Jurgutienė
In the article I discuss how deconstruction (Jacques Derrida and other Yale School participants) came to Lithuanian literary criticism and how it changed habits of humanitarian thinking during the three decades after independence. The most unusual and radical deconstruction critique of essentialist metaphysical thinking, new terminology (inter-text, elimination of center, footprint, writing, difference, blinding, labyrinth narrative, guest / enemy, etc.) and new strategies for interpreting texts were very important for Lithuanian humanities liberated from Soviet ideology. Literary critics have noticed and discussed the undoubted connection between postmodernist literature and its deconstructive reading.We can find three tendencies in the deconstructive criticism of Lithuanian literature. The first tendency is the interpretation of general theoretical concepts of deconstruction, second tendency - searching the deconstructive features in literary works and the third tendency of criticism, expanding its own self-criticism and self-irony, is discussing chrestomathic and structuralist interpretations of the literary works or deconstructing icons of Soviet culture. We know very well, that many feminist, postcolonial, historiographic, anthropological, or interdisciplinary researches of literature cannot escape the effects of deconstruction.

Lithuanian Literature in Search of Historical Truth: Three Decades of Independence
Audinga Peluritytė-Tikuišienė
Literatūra, Volume 63, pp 8-28; https://doi.org/10.15388/litera.2021.1.1
The article focuses on the beginning of the Singing Revolution in Lithuanian culture and tries to identify the most significant dominant features in order to understand the entirety of the new changes in literature. In the face of political upheaval, such a dominant feature was the question of truth; however, the well-established poetry tradition – romantic, neo-romantic, modern neo-romantic, which coexisted with social realism in Soviet times, and experimental – did not raise such questions of truth but only reflected the nation's collective expectations. The evolution of Lithuanian literature, which was highly fragmented during all the decades of the Soviet occupation, united the country through the expatriate poet Bernardas Brazdžionis while he was visiting Lithuania in the summer of 1989. Poetic texts predominated during the first demonstrations of Sąjūdis (the Reform Movement), but while trying to understand their position in the general Lithuanian culture and literature discourse, one needs to acknowledge the leading nature of poetry throughout the Soviet times: having its niche in the cultural system, poetry posed a large number of vexed questions, sought philosophical profundity, and was able to constantly address the deepest metaphysical questions even in strict censorship conditions. Lithuanian prose, which evaded the requirement by the doctrine of social realism to portray the world and characters engaged in class struggles, also found support in the poetry system and created a non-linear but coherent narrative where metaphors prevail. Lithuanian prose poetry became a sign of esthetic quality in independent Lithuania too, where the question of truth, which was important for achieving independence, found a way similar to that of poetry – through memoirs and essays to esthetics and little prose. At the beginning of independence, poetry, which had fed Lithuanian prose with its ideas, themes, conception of the world and esthetic solutions, also merged with memoirs and essays, thus being part of the discourse of telling the truth.
The Three-Decade Cycle of Lithuanian Prose
Jūratė Sprindytė
In the period of 1989-2020 Lithuanian literature experienced a very dynamic literary development. The aim of the article is to highlight specifics of the new cycle and to analyze the prose trends of each decade of regained independence. The author discusses the literary process more synchronically than diachronically. The first period, i.e. the transition from the Soviet regime to the new system, was especially outstanding as the censorship was eliminated, the previously banned works of deportees and resisters were legalized, the postwar émigré writers returned back to culture and opportunities for innovation opened up.The role of writer as a cultural hero diminished. Former writers loyal to the Soviet regime described this situation as crisis, while the younger generation developed postmodernist way of writing. Many works were based on the cultural and historical memory reckoning with the Soviet era. All genres underwent certain transformations, such as emergence of peculiar essay genre, spread of ego-documentaries, revival of short stories, and flourishing popular literature.Serious changes took place after 2004 when Lithuania joined the European Union, which led to economic emigration and encouraged changes in mentality and expanse of local contexts. Mobile, "transit" type of Lithuanian character emerged who changed his place of residence but felt lonely in the global world. This is a huge innovation, bearing in mind the sedentary agrarian Lithuanian culture and the confines of the iron curtain during the Soviet era. Increased quantity of published books decreased their quality.
Lithuanian Dramaturgy and Its "Crises"
Neringa Klišienė
The cultural shift that has been taking place over the thirty years since Lithuania regained its independence is bound up with the role of a rapidly changing – in terms of both stage and text – theatre. These changes were mostly expressed through rhetorical formulations of a discourse of "crisis". It is no exception that this word has been used as a usual descriptor of the state of Lithuanian dramaturgy. Through a discussion of the differing aspects of the relationships between the defenders of the logos theatre and the proponents of stage praxis, this article argues that during the transitionary period that changed Lithuania's history, and which also supplied the concept of "crisis", the world of Lithuanian theatre, afflicted with constant perturbations, revealed itself. The multifariousness of "crisis" is also elucidated: at the start of the period of independence the term was used to describe the vacuum problem of Lithuanian drama, after ten years – the lack of current relevant plays, today – the limited access to contemporary dramaturgical texts. The conclusion is thereby drawn, that the dissemination of dramatic texts is not only a prerequisite of lessening the long-lived tensions between text and stage authors, but also of deeper studies of the development of contemporary Lithuanian dramaturgy.
A Journey toward Self-knowledge in Patrick Modiano's Novel Voyage de Noces
Vytautas Bikulčius
In this paper, based of a geocritical approach, a journey as some path leading toward self-knowledge in the novel of Patrick Modiano, French writer and Nobel Prize winner, Voyage de noces (1990), has been analyzed. A journey is understood as a path that leads toward self-knowledge because the characters of the novel undergo changes depending on the place they find themselves in. This journey gains several forms: it can simply be a journey from one point to another, also can have the aspect of escapism and finally be understood as deportation. In all these cases the nature of the journey changes depending on how the characters perceive themselves. The narrator admits that his aim is to write the autobiography of Ingrida, the character of the novel. Thus he sets out on a journey through her inner world, that naturally will last longer than the one from one point to another. The places are generally depicted as central and peripheral, the capital of the country and its outskirts or the capital and the regions of the country. The narrator tries to understand changes in Ingrida's life and her faith, at the same time changes in the author's self-knowledge happen: he becomes a writer.
Reconstruction of Tradition and Religious Imagination in Early Apocryphal Writing
Vytautas Ališauskas
Studies of the Christian apocrypha have paid relatively little attention to the authors' self-awareness and intentions. The authors of the Apocrypha often impersonate characters of the apostolic generation or write about events that could not have been known to them. This leads to the suspicion that they are deliberately trying to manipulate the reader by directly deceiving him. In contemporary scholarship, apocryphal literature is often described as "forgery". We believe that in many cases this is not an accurate characterisation. The aim of the authors was not manipulation, creating a power relationship of authority with the reader, but the reconstruction of tradition by responding to a new Sitz im Leben. The article emphasises the secondary, derivative character of apocryphal literature. The authors of the Apocrypha were convinced of the veracity of their texts because they systematically relied on sources that were reliable from their point of view: the future canonical gospels, the oral contents, often with folkloric features, theological topoi taken over from the previous generation. This made it possible to attribute their work to the apostles or their companions, since the belief of the time was that the work of the disciples could rightly be attributed to the teacher. It is very likely that some of the works reflect the experience of altered states of consciousness.

Top Maties registrar takes coveted plastic surgery medal
Author: Sue Segar
Dr Mosadi Mahoko, a registrar in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is celebrating a double achievement during lockdown: not only is she the first female black South African plastic surgeon to qualify from Stellenbosch University and in the Western Cape, she recently won the Jack Penn Medal for the best result in South Africa for the 2019 final plastic surgery examinations. The only problem is she can't receive her medal in person.
Mahoko received a letter from the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa (CMSA) on 8 April, informing her of her medal for an excellent achievement in the FC Plast Surg (SA) Final Examination of the College of Plastic Surgeons.
The award is particularly meaningful as it has only been awarded twice since its inception in 1995. The inaugural winner, Dr Kotze Engelbrecht, was also a Stellenbosch University graduate.
In an interview, Mahoko said the award was "a complete unexpected surprise. I fell to my knees when I got the e-mail."
In his letter, the honorary registrar at the CMSA, Professor Victor Mngomezulu said it is customary for medals to be presented at an admission ceremony of the CMSA but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 CMSA admission ceremonies were cancelled.
"I'm disappointed not to collect the medal and certificate. It would have been great to walk on stage and receive this great accolade," Mahoko said.
Ascribing her success to "hard work and determination", she said: "If you hunker down, study the work and are passionate about the work you do, you'll be successful." She named, as her role model, her mother, the late Professor Sophie Mahoko, former Dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of Venda.
"I learnt so much from my mother, who died in 2014. She had humble beginnings and worked hard to become an impressive academic. She instilled in me that you must never let adversity get you down."
She added: "I've worked hard with the aim of being a good, sensible plastic surgeon to all my patients.
This medal has given me the validation to believe I deserve to be in this field."
The final exam comprised two parts – a written component in July and a practical all-day clinical exam on 18 October at Durban's at Nkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital.
"You're faced with about 18 clinical stations where you examine patients, go through clinical scenarios and come up with management plans for patients in plastic and reconstructive surgery," she shared.
Mahoko (37) was raised in Mafikeng, North West Province. She graduated from the University of Pretoria with her MBChB in 2006, after which she did a two-year internship at Groote Schuur Hospital, followed by a year of community service at the Manguzi Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal.
In 2010, she worked as a medical officer in the trauma unit at Tygerberg Hospital before joining the General Surgery department as a registrar, until 2015 when she joined the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Division. She is now in her final year as a registrar. She hopes to do a fellowship in rhinoplasty next.
"I have a passion for reconstructive surgery and, particularly for cleft lip and palate surgery. I would like to work on nasal reconstruction in these children as they often have severe nasal abnormalities. I would also like to apply my knowledge of nasal reconstruction in cosmetic surgery," she said.
When she is not working – which isn't very often, Mahoko loves baking, walking on the beach and doing yoga. She also loves travelling, learning new languages and finding out about different cultures.

Home Politics Trump denies sexual assault claims
Trump denies sexual assault claims
Zac Fyffe

Donald Trump has responded to a woman who claims he sexually assaulted her at Trump Tower saying that he would never be foolish enough to do such a thing with so many security cameras around.
Thirty-five year old Rachel Crooks has publicly told her story numerous times over the years in an attempt to reveal who the real Donald Trump is.
Most recently she told her story to the Washington Post who put her picture on the front page with the title "Is anyone listening?'
When Ms Crooks was twenty two, she was working as a receptionist in the New York Trump Tower for a business located on the 24th floor. She would regularly see Mr Trump as he took the elevator up to his residence.
She said that she was aware that the company she worked for did business with Mr Trump so she built up the courage to talk to him one day and introduce herself. She says that he almost immediately began kissing her without consent.
Ms Crooks said that he didn't stop kissing her on the cheek and was constantly talking between kisses "asking where I was from, or if I wanted to be a model" before saying that he "started kissing me on the lips."
She said that it felt like it was a long kiss and that the whole event lasted two minutes or potentially a little less.
In response, the President tweeted overnight, "who would do this in a public space with live security" having previously stated that he did not know the woman and that the Washington Post was simply selling fake news, highlighting his typical arrogance.
Mr Trump did get one key detail wrong, however, saying in his tweet that no one would do such a thing in the lobby of Trump Tower. Ms Crooks, though, has said that the event supposedly happened on the 24th floor of Mr Trump's building.
Rachel Crooks responded to Trump's tweet by calling him a liar and challenging him to share the footage from "the 24th floor…on the morning of January 11, 2006".
This isn't the only time that Crooks has publicly told her story having announced it previously at rallies, press conferences and to media giants CNN and the New York Times.
The most compelling facts relating to Ms Crooks' story are the emails sent to relatives in the days following the incident.
One of the emails was to her mother on the same day saying that her day had started off "rough" and that she had "a weird incident with Mr Trump". She also emailed her sister saying "the Donald kiss…a very creepy man".
Both of these emails highlight a lack of political motive for the public announcement having been sent years before Trump began any political interest.
In total, nineteen women have accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment at some point and the President has denied all of the allegations. It adds to the long list of accusations and arrogant claims made towards and by the US President, respectively.

CloudCatcher, p51d007 and Uncle Al like this.
This system has nothing in common with LORAN. It is not a beacon system used for triangulation/navigation. It's a data transmission system similar to the ELF systems used on submarines for data transmission.
Not mentioned in article, data rate was 100 bits per second and I imagine receive antenna still had to be huge.
If you were looking for similar or identical functionality, then you are correct -- contrats.
Understanding that all progress stands upon the shoulders of those that have come before however, the relationship is the properties of low frequency wave propagation and the fact that low Fq creates long wave lengths which have great penetration ability. This is why 2.4Ghz penetrates better the 5Ghz wifi.
Again, this article AND this thread are about data transmission using VLF/ELF frequencies and very small antennas, not about LORAN and not about Wi-Fi propagation or Wi-Fi data transmission. I also am not in need of any radio theory classes with regard to wave propagation or which frequency bands have better penetration capabilities. I'm quite familiar with both having been deeply involved in the US DoD's communications fielding efforts and understand quite well the properties of the radio radio spectrum whether it's ELF or SHF or the bands in-between.
Then I am shocked you can't make the connection of an unmodulated signal to one with intelligence imposed upon it. I did not assert (but perhaps was easily construed) there was an equivalence to Loran -- that was not intended.
Guess you're equally familiar with CW, AM, FM, SSB, DSB, Telemetry systems and frequency hopping.
I just don't limit myself to the preexisting solutions as the sole domain of possibilities.
Thank you for your inputs however.
Well, normally we need to optimize the transmitting antennae (impedance and wave length) and any old piece of wire is sufficient for reception.
QUOTE: Then I am shocked you can't make the connection of an unmodulated signal to one with intelligence imposed upon it. I did not assert (but perhaps was easily construed) there was an equivalence to Loran -- that was not intended.
Where do you take the huge leap that I can't make the connection between signals and modulating data on them? That was the very essence of the article (which you completely missed) so why would I need to re-state the obvious? And you DID assert it was a re-emergence of old LORAN beacon/navigation technology unless you've gone back and edited your posts to state otherwise. Thank you for your false assumptions about the readership of TechSpot articles as well as my education and experience in the world of signals. No need to be so condescending or insulting just because you've been corrected. It wasn't my intention to bruise your fragile ego.

NaijaExclusive Artiste Focus: Mayorkun (The Mayor Of Lagos)
posted on Apr. 15, 2019 at 10:39 am April 14, 2019
On today's edition of NaijaExclusive Artiste Focus, we are centering our spotlight on a professional singer and song writer who has contributed greatly to the progress of the Nigerian music.
Adewale Mayowa Emmanuel well known by his stage name is a talented and multi-award winning singer. He rose to prominence after making a cover of Davido's "The Money" which features Olamide that later got him signed to Davido's imprint DMW. This led to the release of his first single, Eleko in 2016 and also caused him to quit his banking job that year after he was spotted. The singer got the motivation for his "Eleko" after he proposed to a girl and she turned him down saying he does not have money to take care of her.
Mayorkun, growing to become an eminent artiste maintained a very successful and hardworking career. Recording over 30 songs both single and featured under DMW made him a standout singer and performer. These songs recorded never disappoint whenever it comes to chart topping and winning awards.
Trailing down to 2018, one of the biggest years in the career of the singer; Mayorkun released a very interesting studio project tagged "The Mayor of Lagos" (TMOL), a 14-track album which lasts for 44 minutes. He featured prominent artistes such as D'banj, Patoranking, Olu maintain, Peruzzi, Dremo, Yonda and even his label boss, Davido. Mayorkun performed in big events such as the Wireless Festival and also continued his "Mayor Of Lagos" concert to make the year a remarkable one.
Mayorkun kicked off this year with a challenge for the hustlers, "The Hustlers Anthem". A song produced by FreshVDM whose instrumentals were made available online for other musicians to make their covers. This year wasn't just started on this note, Mayorkun also performed at the O2 Arena in London alongside Davido, Dremo, Peruzzi, Victor AD and other prominent artistes. Mayorkun has bagged seven awards of eight nominations according to Wikipedia.
The 25-year-old singer was born to the family of entertainers where his mother is a popular Nollywood actress and his father is an artist and a movie producer. It is no doubt that Mayorkun is at the verge of becoming a world-class singer and songwriter.

Newspaper Rock: "Too sensitive" about Del Rey's headdress?
Here's a comment on my Lana Del Rey in a Headdress posting. Anonymous wrote:it seems you, the writer of this blog are way too sensitive. i know she didn't mean it as an attack on your culture. the enslavement and murder our ancestors, since i am hispanic, faced, while unjust, is just about irrelevant in the year 2012. as for 'ride', it's just fashion and a sweet song.So many ways to demolish your argument, Anonymous--such as it is.
For starters, it isn't my culture, since I'm not Native. I care about racism toward others because it's the morally correct thing to do.
I'd say roughly 100% of the Natives I know would say their ancestors' deaths still matter today. Who are you to say differently?
Indeed, Natives are dying today, before their alloted lifespan, because of the broken treaties of the past. Because of the poverty, crime, and disease caused by generations of trauma.
Do you celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Memorial Day, or the Fourth of July? I'd say those long-dead people--immigrants, soldiers, Founding Fathers--are just about irrelevant in 2012. Why are you wasting time on them?
You haven't forgotten your history, so why do you expect Natives to forget theirs? You're wallowing in the past just like you think they're doing. When you stop it, we can talk about Natives stopping it too.
And who cares what Del Rey meant? As I've written many times, it's the results that matter, not the intent. Her actions harm people whether she intended it or not.
If she's ignorant, then that's the problem--not my alleged sensitivity. Are you really in favor of ignorance? If you're not, stop apologizing for her and start criticizing her.
Would you accept her performance if she dressed up in blackface and an Afro wig? No? Then why do you accept this? It's the same thing, bright boy: portraying a minority using grotesque stereotypes.
I could go on, but I trust you get the point. For more on the subject, see 1491s on Redface and Blackface and Paul Frank's Racist Powwow.

A Brief History of Election Law in New York
September 01, 2003 | by A Brief History of Election Law in New York
Tammany Hall's William "Boss" Tweed, as portrayed by 19th century political cartoonist Thomas Nast
From Royal Rule to Public Finance
1665 - First Mayor
Governor Richard Nicolls appoints Thomas Willett the first "mayor of New York." For the next 156 years, the mayor will be appointed and have limited power.
1686 - Common Council
Governor Thomas Dongan divides New York City into six wards and creates a Common Council with an alderman and assistant alderman elected from each ward.
1820s - Property Qualifications Removed
In New York State, the right to vote is extended to all white males, regardless of whether they own or rent property.
1821 - Choosing a Mayor
The Common Council, which includes elected members, gains the authority to choose the mayor who will sit in City Hall. Previously, the state government appointed the mayor.
1834 - First Elected Mayor
An amendment to the state constitution provides for the direct popular election of the mayor. Cornelius W. Lawrence, a Democrat, is elected.
1846 - Voting Rights Rejected
New York voters reject a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would guarantee free blacks the same voting rights as whites.
1861 - Tammany Hall Emerges
Tammany Hall, which evolved from an organization of craftsmen into a Democratic political machine, gains control of Democratic Party nominations in the state and city.
1870 - Voting Rights
The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, giving blacks throughout the United States the same voting rights as whites.
1880 - Standard Ballot
In response to an era of political scandals, New York begins requiring the so-called "Australian ballot," a uniform ballot listing all candidates. To get on it, an office seeker would have to be nominated by a political party or submit nominating petitions, laying the groundwork for a system that persists to this day.
1890 - Primary Election
Because of perceived abuses in the way political parties select candidates, the New York State Legislature enacts a law that, for the first time, requires government to manage and pay for elections to select party officials who would then choose the party's candidates.
1892 - Voting Machine
The first voting machine, invented by Thomas Edison, is used in Lockport, New York in 1892. By the early 1920s, voting machines would be used for all general elections in New York City.
1894 - Bipartisan Control
The state establishes a system, in effect to this day, under which all election positions, from Board of Elections officials to poll watchers, must be divided equally between the two major parties.
Three suffragists casting votes in New York City around 1918.
1898 - Greater New York Formed
A new City Charter merges Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island into greater New York. All five boroughs now elect the mayor.
1915 - Suffragists Defeated
A referendum giving women the vote is defeated by city and state voters.
1920 - Suffragists Victorious
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is signed into law, guaranteeing women throughout the United States the right to vote.
1965 - Opening the Polls
Congress passes the federal Voting Rights Act to ensure that no person is denied the right to vote on account of race or color.
1967 - A Black District
A suit brought under the Voting Rights Act leads to the creation of a majority black congressional district in Brooklyn. Previously, black voters had been divided among several predominantly white districts. In 1968, voters in the district elect Shirley Chisholm as the first black woman ever in the U.S. House of Representatives. Since then, congressional, state legislative and City Council districts have been drawn so as to ensure minority representation.
1969 - School Elections
Non-citizens who have children in public schools are given the right to vote in elections for members of community school boards.
1970 - Voting Rights in New York
The federal government determines that Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx must be covered under the federal Voting Rights Act because of low voter registration levels. As a result, the federal government has to approve any changes in voting practices in these boroughs, including redistricting. This would mean that any switch to nonpartisan elections would require clearance by the U.S. Justice Department.
1971 - Younger Voters
The 26th Amendment lowers the voting age in New York from 21 to 18.
1975 - Multilingual Ballots and Election Information
Amendments to the Voting Rights Act require that election information be provided in Spanish as well as English in Brooklyn, the Bronx and Manhattan.
1988 - Ethical Finance
The Campaign Finance Board is formed as part of a response to corruption in city agencies. Its goal is to limit the influence of private funds in city politics. Candidates participating in the program can receive public money for their election campaigns. In return, they must agree to a spending limit and full disclosure of their campaign finances.
1989 - End of Board of Estimate
The U.S. Supreme Court abolishes the Board of Estimate, which gave each borough president an equal vote. The court rules that this violates the principle of one person-one vote because the boroughs vary so much in population. A new charter eliminates the board and distributes the board's powers between the mayor and an expanded City Council. 1992 - Chinese Ballots
The city begins providing voting information in Chinese, and Spanish is added to Queens ballots.
1993 - Term Limits
City voters approve a ballot measure, backed by millionaire Ronald Lauder, that would limit citywide officials, including the mayor, as well as borough presidents and members of the City Council to two consecutive four-year terms.
1996 - Public Debate
A law is passed requiring candidates who run for citywide office and participate in the Campaign Finance Program to participate in a series of public debates in order to receive public matching funds.
Primary Day, September 11, 2001, One World Financial Center.

1996 - Two Terms and You're Out
Voters reject a plan put forth by City Council Speaker Peter Vallone to delay the implementation of term limits and to allow officials three terms, instead of two.
2001 - Primary Date
The primary vote is originally scheduled for September 11. Voting begins that day but is halted after the attacks on the World Trade Center and postponed until September 25. With Primary Day always falling on the second Tuesday in September, some have urged the state to shift the election to keep it from ever falling on September 11. So far, such efforts have failed.
2001 - The Big Change
Because of term limits, all citywide officials and 37 of 51 City Council members are unable to run for reelection, creating the largest turnover in city history.
2003 - School Change
The state approves a law eliminating community school boards, replacing them with councils selected by parents.
2003 - Two More Years
The City Council adjusts the term limits law to allow some council members, who were elected in the middle of a term and would have had to leave office after serving fewer than eight years, to remain in their seats. The action cleared the way for Council Speaker Gifford Miller and four other members, who would have had to leave office in January, 2004, to seek re-election this November.

You've probably heard the phrase: "All religions are basically the same". Regardless of what your answer to this statement is, there is one very interesting aspect that is common across the majority of religions, and that is Jesus. Most religions have something positive to say about Jesus because he is universally highly regarded. They include him in their religious framework.
Jesus is considered to have been a spiritual master similar to the Buddha, or to have been a bodhisattva (someone who attained enlightenment but was compassionate enough toward humanity that he refused to enter nirvana in order to help others toward it).
Jesus was a good moral teacher. New Age adherents particularly point to Jesus' teachings on tolerance (not judging others) and love.
Many Jewish people would claim that Jesus was a good moral teacher, even though the name of Jesus became sullied along with Christianity in the eyes of many Jewish people.
Jesus is included as one of many deities to be worshiped.
Where do these ideas about Jesus come from?
This list isn't exhaustive, but isn't it interesting? There is some sort of agreement that Jesus was an exceptional spiritual leader who should be taken seriously. Clearly many people believe in some way that Jesus represented God or an 'ultimate reality' and that his teachings deserve recognition.
Note how all of the 'versions' of Jesus in each of the religions cited above reference him as a 'Good Moral Teacher' or 'Miscellaneous Deity'.
What evidence do these religious adherents base their conclusions about Jesus on?
The New Testament has the fullest record about the life and purpose of Jesus. If you are trying to figure out who Jesus was, doesn't it make sense to at least start that search with the largest collection of historically sound documentation that describes what he said about himself? If everyone regards Jesus so highly, shouldn't we look to him first to see who he said he was and what the purpose was behind his coming?
The New Testament quotes Jesus as claiming to be both God and the Messiah (Mark 14:61-63, Matthew 17:5). He claimed that the only way to God was through Him (John 14:6) and that His death was paying the ransom for many (John 8:24, Matthew 20:27-29). These can't easily be reconciled with the 'downgraded' labels of 'Good Moral Teacher' or 'Miscellaneous Deity'.
When it comes to Jesus, your source matters – and so do you labels. He can't just be whomever you decide him to be. He is who he says he was, or he is nothing.
What do you think? Are you surprised at how many religions make a claim on Jesus? Could he still be only a 'good moral teacher' and make the claims that he did about himself?

Suffolk County gets $300,000 for plane-to-train study
By: Rachel Siford	July 1, 2016	1 Comment
Suffolk County is receiving federal funds to conduct a plane-to-train connectivity study.
The Suffolk County Legislature on June 21 approved the appropriation of $300,000 from the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council. The funds will be used to research the connectivity between the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Station and Long Island MacArthur Airport.
"This is another step toward spurring economic development in the Ronkonkoma Hub which will create thousands of new jobs in Suffolk County and provide a more convenient public transportation option to our residents," said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone in a press release. He noted Long Island "has been complacent" with public transit and infrastructure in the past, and cited a plane-to-train connection as a way to cut travel time to New York City.
The study, which will cost an estimated $375,000, will "evaluate land-use opportunities and economic development and benefits" that may arise from the transit concept, according to a press release. The study will also look into alternative options to navigate costs, environmental impacts, and length of construction.
The Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning will be providing the extra $75,000 necessary for the study, which was included in the County's 2016 Operating Budget.

Кам'яниця Ренського — будинок початку XX століття, розташований в історичному центрі Львова, на вулиці Саксаганського, 3. Будинок внесений до реєстру пам'яток архітектури місцевого значення, згідно з рішенням сесії Львівського облвиконкому № 381 від 5 липня 1985 року, під охоронним № 285-м.

Історія
Будинок являє собою чотириповерхову кам'яницю в стилі модернізму яка була споруджена в межах давнього саду при палаці драматурга Александера Фредра за проєктом архітектора Міхала Лужецького для власника цієї ділянки Романа Ренського, в стилі модерн з використанням модернізованих мотивів готики та ренесансу. Будівельні роботи виконувала фірма Едмунда Жиховича. 1911 року в будинку встановлено ліфт (нині не існуючий). При будівництві інвестором було самочинно внесено з у попередньо затверджені плани, зокрема, добудова мезоніну, що зумовило накладення штрафних санкцїй з боку міського магістрату.

Дозвіл на заселення будинку виданий 7 вересня 1910 року.

Станом на 1913 рік в цьому будинку мешкали: директор страхового товариства та цісарський радник Адольф Бреннер, лікар та професор університету Роман Ренцкі, суддя у відставці Леонард Капустинський, судовий аускульт Броніслав Дроздовський, вдова радника апеляційного суду Кароліна Литвинович, лікар Орест Литвинович, старший інженер Крайового відділу Діонізій Хорваз, податковий радник Йозеф Вейнберг, купець Михайло Дидинський, поштовий асистент Адольф Матика, електротехнік Максиміліан Бєньковський, інженер Станіслав Маєвський, Людвик Швейтцер.

Серед відомих мешканців будинку у міжвоєнний період слід згадати про львівського вченого-геодезиста Каспара Вайґеля, що мешкав в цьому будинку у 1930—1941 роках. 20 листопада 1995 року, під час проведення симпозіуму пам'яті Каспара Вайґеля у Львові, на фасаді будинку встановлено та відкрито бронзову пам'ятну таблицю вченому, роботи скульптора Василя Ярича та архітектора Михайла Бендини. Також у той самий час в будинку мешкав професор хірургії університету імені Яна Казимира Владислав Добжанецький. Він був визнаним фахівцем пластичної та трансплантаційної хірургії і вважався одним з піонерів пластичної хірургії у Польщі та засновником польської школи пластичної хірургії. 4 липня 1941 року професора Добжанецького разом з іншими науковцями було розстріляно на Вулецьких пагорбах. Також мешкали невролог Станіслав Теппа, дантист Тадеуш Каспжицький.

Нині в будинку містяться відділення АБ «Брокбізнесбанк», хостел «Під дахом», а також від 2013 року працює офіс львівської філії групи компаній «Експерт ІН».

Архітектура
Будинок є частиною щільної рядової забудови кварталу, окресленого вул. Саксаганського, Герцена та Стецька. Розташований зі східного боку вулиці Саксаганського.

Кам'яниця цегляна, тинькована (частково — з імітацією кам'яної кладки), у плані — Т-подібна. Має чотири поверхи з мезоніном, прикрашеним від фасаду аркатурним поясом, та атикове завершення. Акцентом у композиції фасаду є еркер на центральній осі з потужними консолями, якими обрамовано вхідні двері. Зовнішній вистрій доповнюють симетрично розташовані балкони з кам'яними балюстрадами.

Внутрішнє планування — секційного типу: помешкання розміщені навколо сходової клітки з шахтою ліфта у центрі корпусу.

В оформленні інтер'єру домінують елементи неоготики (балюстрада сходової клітки, імітація хрещатих склепінь у під'їзді, віконні решітки).

January 20th, 2016 - Competing in a shortened season of only seven races, Tony Knowles had three rainouts throughout the season along with one top ten finish at Screven Motor Speedway (Sylvania, Georgia) for the World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned event.
April 26th, 2015 - Tony Knowles made the trip to Rome International Speedway (Rome, Georgia) on Sunday evening for the annual Rome Rumble.
The $3,000-to-win program drew a field of twenty-six Super Late Models to the oval, and struggles in qualifications positioned Knowles deep on the feature grid. When the race went green, Tony began progressively working his way through the field until disaster stuck in the closing laps. A large clod struck the driver's compartment of Knowles' #26 entry, bringing his night to a terrifying end.
Full results from the event can be found at www.DixieSpeedway.com.
April 11th, 2015 - Following some time away from the track, Tony Knowles resumed competition on Saturday night with the annual Spring Championships at Dixie Speedway (Woodstock, Georgia).
The $3,000-to-win program saw a field of twenty-five Super Late Models registering for battle. After locking into the main event via time trials, Knowles raced his way to an eleventh place finish in the final rundown.
March 8th, 2015 - Tony and Meghan Knowles welcomed the arrival of their daughter, Kinley Jolene Knowles over the weekend. Kinley was born at 34 weeks and will likely remain in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for some time, but is expected to be fine.
February 16th, 2015 - Tony Knowles traveled to Volusia Speedway Park (Barberville, Florida) on Monday night for the opening round of the 44th Annual DIRTcar Nationals.
Forty-three UMP Super Late Models filled the pit area as Knowles piloted a back-up entry owned by Shane Clanton in the $7,000-to-win program. After failing to reach a transfer position in his heat race, Tony was sent to a b-main. Unfortunately, a mechanical failure on his #25 Capital Race Cars entry during the b-main would bring his night and week to an early end.
Full results from the event are available at www.DIRTcarNationals.com.

Apple, Goldman Sachs to jointly launch credit card paired with iPhone: WSJ
Goldman Sachs Group Inc has teamed up with Apple Inc to issue credit cards that will be paired with iPhones and will help users manage their money, the Wall Street Journal reported https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-goldman-sachs-team-up-on-credit-card-paired-with-iphone-11550750400 on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

REUTERS: Goldman Sachs Group Inc has teamed up with Apple Inc to issue credit cards that will be paired with iPhones and will help users manage their money, the Wall Street Journal reported https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-goldman-sachs-team-up-on-credit-card-paired-with-iphone-11550750400 on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The card, which will be linked with Apple's Wallet app, will allow users to set spending goals, track rewards, and manage balances, WSJ said.
The new cards will be rolled out to employees for testing in next few weeks and will be launched later this year.
The deal will benefit both the companies tap into new income sources. Apple has been sharpening its focus on its services business, including the App Store, mobile payments and music streaming after a recent dip in iPhone sales, which generate most of the company's profit.
Goldman is also looking to increase its consumer loans to offset dips in its trading business.
Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for a comment. Goldman declined to comment.
The joint card, which will use Mastercard's payment network, offers a cash back of about 2 percent on most purchases. Spending on Apple products and services could potentially result in more cashbacks, some of the people told WSJ.
Goldman Sachs has already started adding customer-support call centers, and building an internal system to handle payments, a project that could cost the bank US$200 million, WSJ said, a time when banks are focused on reigning in expenses to boost their bottom lines.
The Wall Street bank could eventually offer other financial products, such as Marcus loans and wealth management services, to Apple customers, WSJ said.
