The Complete Guide to the Future of Marketing Automation
Automation is the way of the future, but in the ever-evolving landscape of creative operations, best practices surrounding automation can easily shift. According to a recent industry survey titled "The State of Marketing Automation" by Ascend2, only 17% of respondents said that their marketing automation efforts were very successful at achieving their top priorities, and 67% said they were somewhat successful. This lack of confidence might be coming from understanding that there is always room for improvement, but it might also be from underperforming on marketing targets that automation was set up to assist.
3 Top Post Cloud Migration Tips
By: Seth Anderson
Because cloud migration can be a turbulent time for organizations, we often see teams invest most of their resources into the immediate launch and fewer resources in a long-term plan. As such, there's often room for organizations to develop a strategy for ongoing success and to get the greatest return on their IT investment.

Top 5 Questions to Ask When Implementing Custom Integrations
Any modern marketing agency, retailer, or creative team worth their salt runs on a tech stack, that being software solutions that power an application, project, or projects. Search for an agency or check a company's website, and you're likely to find a banner of icons displaying the software they use. But what a banner of icons doesn't capture is whether an agency's software are working together, receiving, processing, generating, and – most of all – sharing data as one, integrated whole. Because even the most sophisticated software only function at a fraction of its potential when siloed off from other solutions.
It's Time to Rethink Your Approach to Marketing Resources Management
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to marketing resource management. What works for one company may not work for another, and what works today may not work tomorrow.

Plastisol Ink and Environmental Responsibility
Screen Printing Screen Printing December 2002 Issue
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the key to many screen printers' livelihoods. That compound is the primary component of plastisols used by most of the textile-printing industry. Greenpeace recently added PVC to its most wanted list and is calling for a ban of the product. So let's have a look at the chemical conflict and discover how screen shops fit into the equation. Proper disposal is the primary concern with PVC because, when incinerated, it produces dioxins, which are harmful to the environment. Fortunately, PVC-containing plastisols used by garment screen printers are seldom incinerated.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the key to many screen printers' livelihoods. That compound is the primary component of plastisols used by most of the textile-printing industry. Greenpeace recently added PVC to its most wanted list and is calling for a ban of the product. So let's have a look at the chemical conflict and discover how screen shops fit into the equation. Proper disposal is the primary concern with PVC because, when incinerated, it produces dioxins, which are harmful to the environment. Fortunately, PVC-containing plastisols used by garment screen printers are seldom incinerated. They're more likely disposed of in landfills as fully cured, 100%-solid plastics. The controversy with plastisol ink centers around unscrupulous print-shop owners who dump ink and ink sludge into the ground, as well as countries that lack resources to carefully handle such wastes. Plastisol packrats The burden is on shop owners to ensure that residual plastisols and ink sludge left from screen cleaning are properly handled after use. In most shops, inks are scraped out of screens at the end of a production cycle and returned to their containers for future use–it's a way to maximize ink mileage. But sometimes production will call for a custom color, and frequently it's just not worth keeping the miniscule amount of ink that is left in the screen after the run is complete. So the color is removed from the screen and placed into a scrap drum. The problem is that a high-volume facility can quickly fill a 55-gal drum with residual inks. In addition to this waste, most–if not all–garment shops keep an inventory of unwanted plastisols. Add to that the one- and five-gal containers that were purchased for special projects and never used, and you're left with quite a stockpile of potentially hazardous materials. What's the solution to plastisol stockpiling? In the US, a larger print shop often can work a deal with a plastisol manufacturer in which the manufacturer will absorb the shop's residual inventory in exchange for a complete conversion to its ink systems. The manufacturer can rework the leftovers into an industrial compound or recycle the inventory into a printable product, such as a discount black ink. Disposal becomes a bit more challenging for companies that don't have the clout to work out such deals with ink suppliers. Watching the waste Disposal of liquid plastisol is illegal in the US; therefore, it must be properly processed by either the original manufacturer or a recycling center. Disposing of liquid plastisols raises major concerns about their liquid components–plasticizers and reducers–leaching into the water table. These ink components are made from phthalates, a family of chemicals that are thought to pose health risks to humans and animals. Plastisols are deemed legal landfill once they are set into a solid form through fusion or curing. As the ink increases in temperature during the curing process, the powdered PVC resins in the inks begin to swell and absorb the liquid plasticizers. When the ink is cured at the proper temperature for the correct amount of time, the resin completely absorbs the plasticizers, leaving a solid-plastic film. This is, of course, assuming that the ink is in its original, unmodified state. If the product is modified beyond the recommended allowed percentage, the ink can possess an amount of plasticizers greater than the PVC can absorb. In that case, a licensed waste handler would have to be used to dispose of the end product. When a waste-management facility or ink manufacturer relieves you of plastisol waste, it similarly relieves you of the liabilities associated with disposal. (You should retain documentation of all related transactions in order to show that the proper authorities have assumed responsibility for processing the waste.) Keep in mind that ink sludge from screen cleaning should always be removed and processed by a licensed waste-disposal facility. Most large garment-printing operations use waste-disposal services that both deliver screen-cleaning chemicals and remove the used chemical/ink sludge solution at the end of its useful life. Services of this type will produce the appropriate paperwork to document the amount of hazardous waste a shop generates, when it is removed, and by whom. This type of documentation is a necessity–especially when OSHA pays a visit. Minimizing your waste inventory The custom ink-mixing systems available from most plastisol manufacturers include software that calculates the correct amount of ink needed for any job. These systems have done more for reducing the production of excess inks than any other measure to date. Before such systems were developed, it was commonplace for a printer to simply mix a half or full gallon of a specialty color and give no consideration to the disposal of any ink remaining once the production run was completed. Using a mixing system that gauges inks used for production runs is just one way to keep the waste to a minimum. Here are some other tips for remaining environmentally friendly with your plastisol usage: * Don't mix more ink than you feel you'll use. Remember, you have no guarantees that a customer will reorder a job until the order actually comes in. * Keep accurate documentation of every mixing formula. If your mixing system does not have software to do so, write the formula down and file it with the job jacket for future reference. * Use a waste-management service such as Saftey-Kleen, and have all excess waste materials removed and processed on a regular basis. * Do not allow excessive quantities of plastisol to build up in inventory. If you're sure that you don't need the ink, either have it reprocessed or sell it off to another screen printer. Although some plastisols start to show their age through viscosity changes after about six months, most remain printable for a much longer period of time. Making a living in screen printing and simultaneously exercising care for the environment can be a tough task. But by following the simple recommendations presented here, you can reduce your plastisol liabilities and ensure a safer world for future generations.

Israeli occupation authorities demolish structures in Jerusalem
April 7, 2021	Headlines, Jerusalem, Palestine News
The Israeli occupation authorities today demolished several Palestinian structures in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya, according to local sources.
Jameel Abul-Hummus, the owner of one of the demolished structures, said that Israeli police and municipal crews escorted bulldozers into the neighborhood, where the heavy machineries tore down his own car repair stores purportedly for being built without licenses.
He added that the machineries also tore down a car garage and two rooms belonging to Majed al-Mazra'awi and Darwish Darwish under the same pretext.
Meanwhile, police and municipal crews harassed a number of vendors and seized their stalls at Bab al-Majles, one of the gates leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
Using the pretext of illegal building, Israel demolishes houses on a regular basis to restrict Palestinian expansion in occupied Jerusalem.
At the same time, the municipality and government build tens of thousands of housing units in illegal settlements in East Jerusalem for Jews with a goal to offset the demographic balance in favor of the Jewish settlers in the occupied city.
Although Palestinians in East Jerusalem, a part of the internationally recognized Palestinian Territory that has been subject to Israeli military occupation since 1967, they are denied their citizenship rights and are instead classified only as "residents" whose permits can be revoked if they move away from the city for more than a few years.
They are also discriminated against in all aspects of life including housing, employment and services, and are unable to access services in the West Bank due to the construction of Israel's separation wall.
According to a report by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem, the Israeli High Court could be liable for war crimes for their policies that led to the dispossession of Palestinians from their properties in Area C of the West Bank.
The report, Fake Justice, shows that the court's support of Israeli planning policy is tantamount to support for dispossession and forcible transfer of Palestinians, a war crime under international law.

Researchers at the National Cancer Institute predict that the number of breast cancers diagnosed will increase 50 percent by the year 2030.
Not so coincidentally, experts say that levels of vitamin D have been decreasing over concerns about skin cancer due to sun exposure. In fact, researchers at the University of California in San Diego recently revealed that women with low levels of vitamin D are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
But lack of vitamin D is just one part of the puzzle that many health experts say could lead to improved prevention of breast cancer. And, by the way, this advice applies to both men and women. Wek now that breast cancer affects one in eight women but the potentially deadly disease also attacks men. The American Cancer Society estimates that this year, 2,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in males, killing 480.
"The best way to fight cancer is to do everything you can to prevent it," natural health expert Cheryl Myers, R.N. tells Newsmax. "Stopping inflammation and enabling the cells of the body to develop naturally is a key strategy.
*Pomegranate Seed Oil. Pomegranate seeds have powerful anticancer properties and chemicals. In one cellular study, punicic acid from pomegranate seed oil showed dramatic antitumor effects and inhibited cancer cell proliferation or spreading in up to 95 percent of breast cancer cells.
*Grape Seed Extract (OPC). Grape seed extract is high in oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes or OPC's which have excellent antioxidant activity and are known cancer fighters. It also suppresses the ability of the highly malignant and fast-growing triple negative breast cancer cells to migrate and invade other parts of the body.
*Vitamin D. Clinical research has shown that over 75 percent of breast cancer survivors were vitamin D deficient. And other studies conclude that high levels of vitamin D may reduce the risk of breast cancer by a whopping 50 percent. "Still other research confirms that vitamin D is able to enter breast cancer cells and trigger apoptosis, the destruction of cancer cells," says Myers.


Recent experiments have shown that the cellular E2F transcription factor is found in complexes with cellular proteins and that one such complex contains the cyclin-A protein. Isolation of a cellular activity, which we term E2F-BF, can reconstitute the E2F-cyclin-A complex and has permitted a more detailed analysis of the mechanism of E1A dissociation. Through the analysis of a series of E1A mutants, we find that sequences in conserved region 1 (CR1) and conserved region 2 (CR2) are important for dissociation of the E2F complex, whereas amino-terminal sequences are not required. In contrast to the requirements for dissociation, only the CR1 sequences are required to block formation of the complex if E1A is added when the components are combined. We have also identified an activity, termed E2F-I, that inhibits E2F binding to DNA, again apparently through the formation of a complex with E2F. This inhibitory activity is also blocked by E1A, dependent on the same elements of the E1A protein that disrupt the interaction with E2F-BF. Because the E1A sequences that are important for releasing E2F from these interactions are also sequences necessary for oncogenesis, we suggest that this activity may be a critical component of the transforming activity of E1A.

FMPD Officer Miller seeks sheriff's seat
Officer Kevin Miller
By Brush News-Tribune |
PUBLISHED: March 9, 2010 at 2:22 p.m. | UPDATED: April 24, 2019 at 12:18 p.m.
Officer Kevin Miller of the Fort Morgan Police Department said he would focus on professionalism and ethics if elected as Morgan County sheriff.
"I think ethics and conduct are paramount in law enforcement," he said. "And what I intend to bring is professionalism, accountability and leadership, not politics."
Miller said he has heard complaints about a general lack of professionalism at the sheriff's office, and he agrees with what people are saying.
"I don't think that's the image that law enforcement should be putting out," he said.
In regards to ethics, Miller said he will not waver on what he believes is right and wrong. He has never been drunk in his 42-year life, which demonstrates his commitment to his convictions, he said.
"Not that I'm saying that I'm any better than anybody else because of that," he said. "…But if I believe in it, I'm willing to stand behind it and not cave in to pressure from people around me."
Miller said he would lead his subordinates by example, which would help other issues within the sheriff's office to resolve themselves.
He said a boss is a person who tells subordinates to "go," while a leader instead says, "let's go."
"I think that ethics have to be taught and modeled, not just preached to people," he said.
Miller said he would also work to retain employees at the sheriff's office, which currently has a high turnover rate.
"I want to try to make the Morgan County Sheriff's Office a place where people want to work, make Morgan County a safe place where people want to live, and make the Morgan County Detention Center a place where people don't want to be," he said.
Miller started his fulltime law-enforcement career in 1992 as an officer for the Ault Police Department.
In 1994 he came to the Fort Morgan Police Department, where he has served as a patrol officer for more than 15 years.
Miller said he is now a senior patrolman, which is part of the reason why he has remained in the same position for so many years. He said he would make slightly better pay as a patrol sergeant, but he would lose his seniority and could be left with the last pick of shifts.
"You take the potential to lose family time," he said. "To me, it's not worth it at this point."
Miller has served as a firearms instructor, traffic accident re-constructionist and police driving instructor during his time as an officer, he said.
He is also a trusted source of information for other police officers, even those who have moved on to other departments, he said.
Miller said he is a strong supporter of the second amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects the right to keep and bear arms.
Before beginning his career in law enforcement, Miller directly supervised 12 to 20 people as a dock superintendent at a Millard Refrigerated Services plant in Greeley, he said.
"I have experience in managing and leading people," he said.
Originally from Greeley, Miller now lives in south of Fort Morgan with his wife, Kim, a music teacher at Green Acres Elementary School. The couple has an 11-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son.
Miller will compete with Lt. John Fryar of the Brush Police Department for the Republican nomination in the Aug. 10 primary.
Fryar has more than 30 years of experience in law enforcement. He has served as Morgan County undersheriff and an officer for police departments in Brush, Wiggins, Firestone, Henderson, Nev. and the U.S. military.
The Republican winner will likely face Democratic incumbent Jim Crone in the Nov. 2 general election. Crone is the only Democrat running for sheriff so far.

Facebook, Google and Microsoft push users away from privacy-friendly options on their services in an "unethical" way, according to a report by the Norwegian Consumer Council.
It studied the privacy settings of the firms and found a series of "dark patterns", including intrusive default settings and misleading wording.
The firms gave users "an illusion of control", its report suggested.
Both Google and Facebook said user privacy was important to them.
The report - Deceived by Design - was based on user tests which took place in April and May, when all three firms were making changes to their privacy policies to be in compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

A: Что значит "не хранит"? Как вы проверяете/убеждаетесь?
Но в любом случае - зачем вообще все эти сложности? Почему бы не написать просто
Neuron::Neuron(std::vector<std::vector<double>>& inp)
    :input(inp), weight(inp.size(),vector<double>(inp[0].size(),0.5)){}

Еще у вас есть ошибка и непонятка...
Ошибка - в цикле
for (uint j = 0; j < countInput; i++)

проверяете j, а увеличиваете i и пытаетесь потом работать с несуществующим вектором... Видимо, происходящий при этом этот слет программы вы и называете "не хранит массивы"?
Непонятка - зачем вызывать srand в конструкторе? Критично, чтобы после каждого нового объекта последовательность случайных чисел повторялась (вряд ли время за секунду успеет за это время перескочить...)?

#1: Game & Watch Zelda Preorder
Nintendo Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda (Pre-order) | $50 | Amazon
Image: Nintendo
Nintendo has been exploring alternative pieces of hardware to celebrate (and resell us) games throughout their long history. Following the NES and SNES Classics, they released a handheld Super Mario Bros. themed Game & Watch. As a follow up, yesterday we saw Nintendo announce a new The Legend of Zelda themed Game & Watch to add to your collection. Three full games are packed onto it including the original The Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening. Play through these classic adventures as well as an updated Game & Watch original, Vermin now starring Link himself. Also as the name implies, it's got a dang clock on it. Can't be a Game & Watch without one of those.

#2: oneplus 8t
OnePlus 8T | $550 | Amazon
Graphic: Andrew Hayward
If you're looking for a premium-quality smartphone right about now and don't have allegiance to Apple, then you might want to check out this deal from OnePlus. The increasingly popular brand has grown from selling "budget flagships" to offering models that are so close to matching top-end Androids from Samsung and the like.
Right now, Amazon is offering $199 off the list price of last fall's OnePlus 8T, a sleek 5G smartphone with a banging 6.55" screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, the powerful Snapdragon 865 processor within, a meaty 256GB internal storage cache, incredible 65W charging speeds, and a long-lasting battery. It's marked down to $550 in Aquamarine Green or Lunar Silver. It's an unlocked model, although note that it only supports 5G (sub-6GHz) connectivity on T-Mobile and Verizon.
Speaking from personal experience, the OnePlus 8T is a heck of a phone with one major exception: the cameras aren't as consistent in low-light and off-peak conditions as a Samsung or Google. But if you're less fussed about pristine lower-light shots, you can save a fair bit of cash on a sharp phone right now.

#7: CHomChom Roller Pet Hair Remover
ChomChom Roller Dog Hair Remover | $25 | Amazon
Pet owners, you haven't lived until you've used a ChomChom. It has transformed my life and the two dogs I cohabitate with. Both are very sheddy old puppers. While I love having them on the sofa and pretty much everywhere, I'm not a fan of being cover in fur after. The ChomChom has been such a blessing. No more sticky tape or adhesive paper to solve this hairy nightmare. Just roll this back and forth on the desired area and watch the fluff disappear. The waste compartment can hold quite a large amount of pet hair and doesn't need to be emptied too often. But when you need to it's easy to do so. The best part is no batteries or power is needed to get going; use it anywhere anytime. This works for cat fur, too, and even picks up dust and any other unwanted bits. You will never need another roller or fur picker-upper after you experience the ChomChom.
One-day shipping for Prime members.

#8: breath of the wild 2 preorder
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel (Pre-order) | $60 | Amazon
I was very late to the train for Breath of the Wild. I didn't get a Nintendo Switch until about a year after launch and had picked up Mario Odyssey first. From there on, there was always a new game to pick up an play. I finally bought this critically acclaimed and beloved Zelda adventure a year ago, but still didn't even start playing until April of this year. It didn't click for me right away. The destructible weapons were a turnoff—at least in the beginning. Then as I explored this expansive world, I started to understand why this was the only thing anyone talked about for months following the launch of the Switch.
Everything in the world interacts and I kept finding myself in new situations that surprised me. And even when things didn't go well for me, I couldn't help but smile and laugh at my own failures. I'm still working my way through this wonderful game, but you better believe I won't be missing out next time on what may very well be the defining game of this console generation.
Nintendo showed off gameplay of the Breath of the Wild sequel during their 2021 E3 Direct and it looks absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to get lost throughout the skies of Hyrule.
The game doesn't have a locked-in release date but is set to be available in 2022.

Sebastián Ramos Mejía, conocido también como El Pardo Sebastián, fue un destacado músico argentino, que vivió en Buenos Aires entre la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y comienzos del siglo XX, considerado uno de los introductores del bandoneón en el tango. Formó dúo de bandoneón con Carlos Alberto Barbagelata, actuando cerca de 1910. El célebre tanguero Enrique Cadícamo le dedicó un poema publicado en 1964, titulado "Poema al primer bandoneonista".

Biografía

Se desconocen la mayor parte de los datos de la biografía de Sebastián Ramos Mejía. Se sabe que fue hijo de esclavos propiedad de la poderosa familia Ramos Mejía, y que él mismo fue liberto o criado de la misma en su niñez. La familia Ramos Mejía era propietaria de un latifundio en la zona del actual partido de La Matanza, al oeste de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, donde actualmente se encuentra la ciudad de Ramos Mejía.

Ya mayor de edad trabajó como mayoral del tranvía en la línea Buenos Aires-Belgrano y en sus últimos días de vida como afinador de bandoneones.

Ha pasado a la historia como uno de los primeros músicos en introducir el bandoneón al tango. Tanto él como sus hermanos fueron músicos, pero solo se conoce su nombre. Fue un músico intuitivo, pero se sabe que sabía leer música, ya que Carlos Posadas escribió partituras para él adaptando tangos al bandoneón.

Desde finales del siglo XIX actuó en el café Atenas -ubicado en la actual avenida Scalabrini Ortiz y Santa Fe- y en el prostíbulo La Estrella, de Ensenada. A comienzos del siglo XX actuó en Montevideo y formó un dúo de bandoneones con Carlos Alberto Barbagelata.

Es probable que haya compuesto tangos, pero los mismos no han podido ser conocidos.

Enrique Cadícamo escribió un poema dedicado a él, titulado "Poema al primer bandoneonista" que en parte dice:

Kicking Off UK Visit, Trump Attacks 'Stone Cold Loser' London Mayor, Calls for Boycott of AT&T
Donald Trump was welcomed to Buckingham Palace by Queen Elizabeth on Monday after firing off a series of controversial tweets.

— BBC Breaking News (@BBCBreaking) June 3, 2019
Trump kicked off the state visit to the United Kingdom by launching a juvenile attack on London's mayor and calling for a boycott of AT&T because he couldn't watch FOX & Friends in his hotel room.
Tweeted Trump of London's mayor: '.@SadiqKhan, who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly "nasty" to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me……….Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job – only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!'

Trump later tweeted: 'Just arrived in the United Kingdom. The only problem is that @CNN is the primary source of news available from the U.S. After watching it for a short while, I turned it off. All negative & so much Fake News, very bad for U.S. Big ratings drop. Why doesn't owner @ATT do something? I believe that if people stoped using or subscribing to @ATT, they would be forced to make big changes at @CNN, which is dying in the ratings anyway. It is so unfair with such bad, Fake News! Why wouldn't they act. When the World watches @CNN, it gets a false picture of USA. Sad!"

You're looking for a non-toxic, anti-stink potion for your armpits? You're at the right place.
After months of scouring the internet, I have (in my opinion) developed the perfect recipe for homemade deodorant that puts drug store brands to shame. If you have ever glanced at the ingredients in your store-bought deodorant, you would notice the abundance of questionable, toxic and unnecessary ingredients hiding in the product.
And who said sweating is bad? Sweat rids your body of toxins, and anyone who works out knows that sweat keeps us cool and prevents our bodies from overheating. The baking soda in this product will keep you dry and fresh without clogging your pores.
You can use either GMO-free Corn Starch or Arrowroot Powder; the purpose of this ingredient is to add chalkiness so that it blends into your skin.
Unrefined Coconut Oil: some of my favourites are Nutiva Virgin Organic Coconut Oil and Wilderness Family Organic Coconut Oil. You want to choose unrefined because it still has all of the nutritive properties of coconut oil and a scent to die for.
Vitamin E Oil: makes the deodorant smoother and aids in healing after shaving or waxing.
Tea Tree Oil: anti-viral and anti-fungal. This ingredient will increase the shelf-life of the product and treat razor burn.
Any other essential oils of your choice! Essential oils have individual healing properties, and they smell great!
Take two tablespoons each of the Baking Soda and Corn Starch (or Arrowroot Powder) and put into a bowl.
Add a few drops of the Vitamin E Oil and your essential oils.
At this point you will just have a powdery mess. The trick is to add a small amount of coconut oil at a time and work the ingredients together by pressing them between the back of a spoon and the bowl.
Once you get the coconut oil mixing, it will begin to melt (coconut oil melts at 76°F, so it will be easier to mix in the summer months.) You can judge how much you need to add by the consistency. It should feel like a really thick toothpaste or fondant. But again, you can alter the recipe any way you'd like! If you would like it creamier, add more coconut oil.
Put in a mini glass jar or reuse an old beauty product jar, and voila!
This recipe is really variable, so the more often you make it, the more you can alter the ingredients to your liking. This recipe was formulated for sensitive skin; if you find it still irritates you, add less and less baking soda until you find the perfect mix.
All said and done, this jar of deodorant costs about $2. Now is that thrifty or what? Oh, and did I mention it takes under 1o minutes to make? Faster than going to the store.
As I mentioned before, this product will become softer in the summer months. It will also become soft when it comes into contact with your skin. Use your finger nail to scrape the product and apply a small amount directly to your armpit and rub it in. That's it! You don't even have to wash your hands after, just rub in it.

THE MUNSTERS TV CAST: YVONNE De CARLO, AL LEWIS and BUTCH PATRICK All three sign, each one below their respective color image on 10x8 card stock Composite Photograph signed: "Al Lewis", "Yvonne/ DeCarlo", "Butch Patrick". Color, 10x8 overall, with separate oval photos (2¾x4¼ each) on one surface. The Munsters, a popular TV sitcom spoofing classic horror themes, aired on CBS from 1964-1966. Three generations of the family are pictured here: Canadian actress YVONNE De CARLO (1922-2007) played Lily Munster in The Munsters and its film spin-offs through 1996. De Carlo made her feature film debut in 1942, and was usually cast in period films, Westerns, as well as a few comedies. Her credits include This Gun for Hire (1942), Salome, Where She Danced (1945), Song of Scheherazade (1947), Black Bart (1948), The Ten Commandments (1956) and McClintock! (1963). AL LEWIS (1910-2006) is best remembered for two TV sitcom roles: that of Grandpa Munster, and Officer Schnauzer in another hit TV sitcom, Car 54, Where Are You? (1960-1963). Moreover, he made many TV guest appearances and was seen in a number of films in supporting roles. Lewis had a busy life outside of acting; he earned a PhD from Columbia University, worked as a teacher, performed in the circus, and even owned a restaurant. BUTCH PATRICK (b. 1953), made his acting debut with The Two Bears (1961). Three years later, he earned his best known role as Eddie Wolfgang Munster, reprising the role in films. A recurring character on The Real McCoys, General Hospital and My Three Sons, he also starred on the Saturday morning kids series, Lidsville, opposite Charles Nelson Reilly. Moreover, he attained newfound celebrity on the covers of several teen magazines in the early 1970s. In 1983, he formed a band, Eddie and the Monsters, which had a hit with the novelty song, "What Ever Happened to Eddie?". Fine condition.

Saul D'Alessio
This article is about The character in the Guild Wars backstory. For the Saul D'Alessio disguise, see Saul D'Alessio (disguise).
White Mantle
Level(s)
Bonus Mission Pack
Concept art by Jaime Jones.
Saul D'Alessio was a fallen man. A gambler and a drunk, Saul reached the lowest point in his life when he lost a bet he could not repay. At the time, the local betting house was run by the Lucky Horseshoe, a gambling guild whose influence spanned almost the entire length of the continent. To avoid defaulting on his payment, Saul took to robbing merchants traveling on the road from Beetletun to Shaemoor. Though he successfully paid his debt to the Lucky Horseshoe, he was eventually fingered by one of his victims and tried as a thief. His punishment was exile from the Kingdom of Kryta. The local authorities blindfolded him and rode him out three full weeks before leaving him to fend for himself.
Alone, broke, and lost, Saul wandered through a dense forest for several days, surviving on only roots and berries. On the fourth day, delirious with hunger, Saul emerged from the trees to see what he thought was a hallucination—a city of massive towers reaching into the heavens. The architecture was astounding, and the creatures who lived here were unlike any he had ever seen. Walking down into their city, Saul got a closer look at the denizens of this place. They were tall and thin with strange wing-like appendages that waved about in the slightest breeze. When they walked, their feet seemed not to touch the ground, and when they spoke, it was the most melodious sound he had ever heard. Surely these creatures were the stuff of divinity. Hungry and exhausted, his clothes ragged and dirty, Saul dropped to his knees and touched his forehead to the ground. He had found his gods, and they in turn had found their most devoted disciple.
Saul D'Alessio returned to Kryta a changed man. His rags had been replaced with a sleeveless, pure-white robe embroidered with golden thread. His once sunken, sickly features were again full and healthy. He no longer craved the bottle, no longer wished to strike it rich gambling. His life had purpose. He had returned to spread the word, to deliver his finding to the humans of Kryta.
During this time, the Krytan Empire was in the midst of two wars—one against the guilds of the other human nations, and another against the beastlike Charr. Food was becoming scarce as the invaders burned the crops and salted the fields. It was then that Saul came to the people, offering help from his powerful, enigmatic gods.
Saul's new faith was so powerful that soon he had a small following. As a group, they traveled the land, recruiting more and more, offering salvation from trying times. Though no one ever saw the winged gods or their cities of massive towers, they took Saul at his word that they did truly exist. Saul was a shepherd, and his sheep followed his every step. Those who showed real conviction were given white robes, each embroidered with golden thread.
This was the beginning of the White Mantle.
Beaten, outnumbered, leaderless, and facing almost certain death, the people of Kryta looked to Saul to lead them out of their darkest hour. Saul D'Alessio was transformed from a messenger into the general of a great army. With their new faith and their new leader, Kryta and the White Mantle managed to push out the Charr, forcing them back over the mountains.
Though his efforts were successful, Saul eventually lost his life fighting the war that freed the humans of Kryta. In the last offensive of the war against the Charr, Saul led his troops deep into Charr territory. His network of spies, though normally quite effective, failed him on this day. The Charr were waiting in ambush, and the beastly creatures slaughtered Saul's unit to the man.
Consequently, Saul became a martyr for the White Mantle. His teachings live on in the temples, and his name adorns a seacoast on the southern edge of Kryta, a memorial to a man who brought peace and prosperity to the people of this tropical region.
— The Guild Wars Manuscripts
Spoiler alert: The following text contains spoilers relating to the story of The Rise of the White Mantle.
Days after being exiled, the delirious Saul D'Alessio encountered a city where he found towers that reached up into the heavens and was inhabited by godlike creatures. Upon receiving life saving aid from these creatures he returned to Kryta, proclaiming them as his gods, the Unseen Ones.
When Saul returned, Kryta was under siege by the Charr. With the Lionguard defeated and the royal family deserted, the people turned to Saul and his newly formed White Mantle for leadership. Under Saul's command, the Charr's progress was slowly stemmed. To end the war, Saul devised a desperate plan. He and a small group of his most elite fighters would sneak into the main Charr encampment in the dead of night and assassinate the Charr leaders. It would confuse the Charr enough for the Krytans to fight back and force them out of Kryta. However, the plan was dangerous, and Saul knew that the chance of survival was slim.
His plan went perfectly and as anticipated, the Charr turned on them. Saul did all that he could do: pray, and hope that his unseen gods would spare him. Surprisingly, they obliged. The Unseen Ones appeared and decimated the Charr with their devastating magic. The Charr were defeated. Kryta was saved. But at a price.
After defeating the Charr, the Unseen Ones turned on those who had moments earlier worshiped them as their gods and murdered them — for the Unseen did not wish to be observed by anyone except the most devout, Saul. They took Saul with them, in whom they had imbued their most powerful magic, and disappeared. Only a handful survived the unexpected treachery. The few devoted that remained told the Krytans that Saul was killed by Charr during their retreat back over the Shiverpeak Mountains.
Saul has not been seen since.
Sometime before his disappearance, he formed a special edict for the Temple of the Ages to be unchanged by the Unseen faith.

In The Protectors of Kryta, Saul is referenced to as "Saul Botolf". This may have been an alternative surname for Saul during development of the game, and the appearance in Protectors of Tyria is most likely only an oversight. The name itself may have been derived from the Old English word botolf, meaning "messenger wolf".
The Shining Blade refer to Saul as "Saul the Deceiver".

Ron Gilbert Reveals How Much It Costs to Make an Indie Game
Ian Miles Cheong / Updates /
Have you ever wondered what a video game budget for an indie game looks like? Ron Gilbert, the creator of the classic adventure game Day of the Tentacle and the upcoming retro-themed adventure Thimbleweed Park, has released a detailed budget for the upcoming game, which was funded on Kickstarter.
It's a good look at where all the money that gets pledged through Kickstarter goes once it enters a developer's bank account. It's nowhere close to what it costs to produce a massive AAA title like The Witcher 3, which cost $81 million to produce, but thanks to Gilbert, we now have a glimpse into the development of a smaller game.
"Seeing $500,000 in your bank account can make you cocky," writes Gilbert on his blog post detailing the budget.
"It can seem like an endless supply of cash and more money than most people (including me) have ever seen in their bank account. But you have to treat that $500,000 like it's $5,000 or even $500. Every dollar matters."
Gilbert calls the budget a "living document" that can change depending on whether the studio decides to spend more on art and less on programming, for example.
He says that given the monthly burn rate for a relatively barebone production like Thimbleweed Park, he's skeptical of Kickstarters that ask for very little money and feature a huge team of developers. Food for thought.
The game will be out in June 2016.

In experimental models, hypothalamic inflammation is an early and determining factor in the installation and progression of obesity. Pharmacological and gene-based approaches have proven efficient in restraining inflammation and correcting the obese phenotypes. However, the role of nutrients in the modulation of hypothalamic inflammation is unknown.
Here we show that, in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity, partial substitution of the fatty acid component of the diet by flax seed oil (rich in C18:3) or olive oil (rich in C18:1) corrects hypothalamic inflammation, hypothalamic and whole body insulin resistance, and body adiposity. In addition, upon icv injection in obese rats, both ω3 and ω9 pure fatty acids reduce spontaneous food intake and body mass gain. These effects are accompanied by the reversal of functional and molecular hypothalamic resistance to leptin/insulin and increased POMC and CART expressions. In addition, both, ω3 and ω9 fatty acids inhibit the AMPK/ACC pathway and increase CPT1 and SCD1 expression in the hypothalamus. Finally, acute hypothalamic injection of ω3 and ω9 fatty acids activate signal transduction through the recently identified GPR120 unsaturated fatty acid receptor.
Unsaturated fatty acids can act either as nutrients or directly in the hypothalamus, reverting diet-induced inflammation and reducing body adiposity. These data show that, in addition to pharmacological and genetic approaches, nutrients can also be attractive candidates for controlling hypothalamic inflammation in obesity.
A, Four-week old male Swiss mice were fed regular chow (CT) or high-fat diet (HF) for eight weeks and then randomly divided into eight groups: CT mice, maintained for another eight weeks on the same CT diet; or HF mice which were either maintained on the same HF diet; or transferred to diets containing substitution of lard by olive or flax seed oils to final concentrations of 10, 20 or 30%, according to . At the end of the experimental period, the mice were submitted to a glucose tolerance test (GTT) and an insulin tolerance test (ITT), four days later, feeding behavior was evaluated and samples were obtained for immunobloting (IB) and real-time PCR (RT-PCR). B, Four-week old male Wistar rats were fed for eight weeks on CT or HF diets and then submitted to intracerebroventricular (icv) cannulation. Drinking response elicited by angiotensin II (AII) was tested three days after cannulation and responsive rats were treated icv with either ω3, ω9, stearic acid (SA) or diluents (Alb) for seven days. Feeding behavior and body mass were determined throughout the experimental period. At the end of the experimental period some rats were randomly selected for histology, IB and RT-PCR; the remainder of the rats was followed up for feeding behavior for an additional five days after the discontinuation of icv treatment.
Food intake and body mass variation.
A, Mean daily spontaneous food intake (g) of Swiss mice fed on regular chow (CT), high-fat diet (HF), flax seed- (FS) or olive oil- (OL) substituted (10, 20 or 30%) diets for eight weeks; results are depicted as daily food intake along the time (A), and as the means obtained during the whole period (A1). B, Body mass variation for each group during the whole experimental period. C-E, Body mass variation (g) during the 60-day experimental period (C-E) or during each of the four 15-day experimental periods (C1-E1) for CT and HF groups (C, C1); for the FS substituted groups (D, D1); and for the OL substituted groups (E, E1). F, Diet preference assay, lean Swiss mice were fasted for 10 h and then similar amounts of CT or HF (HF) diets were offered; the same approach was used to compare the preference for each of the FS or OL substituted diets against HF; results are presented as the relative caloric consumption of the tested diet during 12h. In all experiments, n = 5; in A and B, #p<0.05 vs. CT and *p<0.05 vs. HF; in C and F *p<0.05 vs. CT; in B, §p<0.05 vs. FS10 or OL10.
Blood glucose levels (A), and constant for glucose decay during an insulin tolerance test (Kitt) (%/min) (A1); and, blood glucose levels (B) and the area under glucose curve (AUC) (B1) during an intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipGTT) were obtained at the end of an eight-week experimental period for Swiss mice fed on regular chow (CT), high-fat diet (HF), flax seed- (FS) or olive oil- (OL) substituted (10, 20 or 30%) diets. In all experiments, n = 5; #p<0.05 vs. CT and *p<0.05 vs. HF.
Signal transduction in the hypothalamus.
Hypothalamic total protein extracts obtained from Swiss mice fed on regular chow (CT), high-fat diet (HF), flax seed- (FS) or olive oil- (OL) substituted (10, 20 or 30%) diets for eight weeks were used in immunoblotting (IB) experiments to evaluate protein expression and/or activity. Specific antibodies against phospho-IκB-α (P-IκBα) (A), phospho-JNK (P-JNK) (B), TNF-α (C), SOCS-3 (D), iNOS (E), IL-10 (F), Caspase-3 (CASP-3) (G), BAX (H), Bcl-2 (I), phospho-ACC (P-ACC) (J), FAS (K) and CPT-1 (L) were used to identify respective protein targets. Loading was evaluated by re-probing the membranes with anti-β-actin (A, C-I, K and L), anti-JNK (B) or anti-ACC (J) antibodies. In all experiments, n = 5; #p<0.05 vs. CT and *p<0.05 vs. HF.
Food intake, body mass and adiposity in icv-treated rats.
Wistar rats fed on a regular chow (CT) or on a high-fat diet (HF) were icv cannulated and treated for five (A) or seven (B-F) days with diluent (albumin, Alb), ω3-, ω9-fatty acids or stearic acid (SA) and then used for determination of feeding behavior and adiposity. A, daily food intake (g) of rats treated icv with Alb (filled circles), ω3 (filled squares) or ω9 (filled triangles) fatty acids for five days; the beginning (I) and the end (II) of treatment are labeled with arrows. B, The suppression of spontaneous food intake (g) by leptin was evaluated at the end of the experimental period. C, Body mass variation (g) during the seven-day icv treatment period. D, Epididymal fat mass (g) at the end of the experimental period. E, Histological evaluation (hematoxilin-eosin staining of 5 µm sections) of epididymal fat. F, Mean adipocyte area obtained from histological sections. In all experiments, n = 5. In A, C and D, *p<0.05 vs. Alb; in B, #p<0.05 vs. Alb(−) and *p<0.05 vs. Alb(+); in F, #p<0.05 vs. CT, *<0.05 vs. HF.
Expression of inflammatory and apoptotic proteins in the hypothalamus of icv-treated rats.
Wistar rats fed on a regular chow (CT) or on a high-fat diet (HF) and icv cannulated were treated for seven days with diluent (albumin, Alb), ω3 or ω9 fatty acids and then used in immunoblotting (IB) and immufluorescence experiments. Specific antibodies against iNOS (A), IL-6 (B), TNF-α (C), IL-10 (D), phospho-JNK (P-JNK) (E), BAX (G), and Bcl-2 (H) were used to identify respective protein targets in hypothalamic samples. Loading was evaluated by re-probing the membranes with anti-β-actin (A-D, G and H) or anti-JNK (E). In F, 5 µm sections of the hypothalamus were labeled with an anti-F4/80 antibody. In all experiments, n = 5. In A-E, *p<0.05 vs. Alb; in A and B, #p<0.05 vs. ω3; In G and H, #p<0.05 vs. CT, *<0.05 vs. Alb.
Effect of icv ω3 and ω9 on hypothalamic signaling.
Wistar rats fed on a regular chow (CT) or on a high-fat diet (HF) and icv cannulated were treated for seven days with diluent (albumin, Alb), ω3 or ω9 fatty acids. In addition, in some experiments, rats were acutely treated with a single dose of either leptin (2 µl, 10−6M: A-G) or insulin (2 µl, 10−6M: H) and then used in immunoblotting (IB) experiments. Specific antibodies against phospho-JAK2 (P-JAK2) (A and D), phospho-STAT3 (P-STAT3) (B and E), phospho-Akt (P-Akt) (C, F and H), phospho-FoxO1 (P-FoxO1) (G), phospho-ACC (P-ACC) (I), FAS (J), CPT-1 (K) and SCD-1 (L) were used to identify respective protein targets in hypothalamic tissue. Loading was evaluated by re-probing the membranes with anti-β-actin (J-L), anti-JAK2 (A and D), anti-STAT3 (B and E), anti-Akt (C, F and H), anti-FoxO1 (G) or anti-ACC (I). In A-H, #p<0.05 vs. Alb (−), *p<0.05 vs. Alb (+); in I-L, #p<0.05 vs. CT, *p<0.05 vs. Alb.
Effect of icv ω3 and ω9 on neurotransmitter expression and thermogenesis.
Wistar rats fed on a regular chow (CT) or on a high-fat diet (HF) and icv cannulated were treated for seven days with diluent (albumin, Alb), ω3 or ω9 fatty acids and then used in real-time PCR and immunobloting experiments. Total RNA obtained from hypothalami were used in real-time PCR to amplify the mRNAs of NPY (A), MCH (B), POMC (C), and CART (D). Brown adipose tissue total protein extracts were used for evaluation of UCP-1 expression by immunoblot (E). In all experiments, n = 5. In A-D, *p<0.05 vs. Alb (−); in E, #p<0.05 vs. CT, *p<0.05 vs. Alb.
GPR120 signal transduction in the hypothalamus.
Five µm sections of the hypothalamus obtained from obese Wistar rats were labeled with anti-GPR120 (green) and NPY (red) antibodies, low (A) and high (B) magnifications are depicted. Icv cannulated obese Wistar rats were acutely treated with diluent (albumin, Alb), ω3 or ω9 fatty acids and then used in immunoprecipitation (IP)/immunoblotting (IB) experiments employing antibodies against GRP120 (C), β-arrestin 2 (C and D), TAK1 (E), and TAB1 (D and E). In all experiments n = 5. In C-E, *p<0.05 vs. Alb.

The US elite prides itself on its 'democratic' system. This is of course at best self-delusion, at worst delusion. 'Democracy means that every four years two corrupt oligarchs fight to become the most powerful man in the world. This time two elderly men, who should both have retired years ago, have spent billions of dollars trying to obtain power. One, a doddery old man who can hardly walk, is the idol of the world's liberal elite, composed among others of journalists and abortionists. The other, a narcissist to the core who appears to change his opinion about as often as he changes his clothes, has backed various extreme right-wing conspiracy theorists, including the gun lobby, to back him. If that is the democratic choice, the best that the US elite can offer its citizens, no wonder over one hundred million Americans refused to vote for either.
A Republican ex-President has compared yesterday's scenes in Washington, which occurred on the eve of the day when Christians celebrate the Birth of Christ, to those in a banana republic. He should know. He created at least two banana republics. And sadly US spies have immense experience in creating banana republics, not just throughout Latin America, but in Greece (under the colonels), and more recently in Lithuania, Romania, Kosovo and, in 2014, in the Revolution of Indignity in the Ukraine. Here, nearly seven years ago, US-backed separatists usurped the democratically-elected government, when the CIA funded thousands of ultra-violent rioters to the tune of millions of dollars and supplied Lithuanian snipers on the roof of the US Embassy to murder Ukrainian policemen trying to contain the mob. Since then the Galician Fascists in Kiev, now headed by a puppet who is a good actor but cannot even speak Ukrainian, have slaughtered tens of thousands of Ukrainians in the east of the country, all the while funded by US dollars and weapons.
The events in Washington once more prove the old spiritual law: What goes round, comes round. There is only one way out of it. It is called repentance. No sign of that in Washington. Is this the end of the Union of North American States?

The Ukrainian Crisis: The World Crisis
There has been over the last three weeks a crisis in the Ukraine. The head of the US-installed Kiev Junta, the oligarch arms-dealer Poroshenko/Walzman, has been in Istanbul trying to persuade the local Greek Patriarch Bartholomew to grant autocephaly to one of his schismatic groups which calls itself 'the Ukrainian Orthodox Church'. Neither of the groups concerned is recognized by anyone in the Orthodox world, least of all by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Both little groups were created out of ultra-right wing nationalist politics and represent only small minorities of regional groups, which until 1939 were under Polish rule and before that under Austro-Hungarian rule.
This activity comes at a time when Poroshenko is under extreme pressure from his US paymasters to get the situation in his wartorn and bankrupt country under control; elections are coming next year. Washington has sent its Kiev ambassador to Istanbul to lobby the same Greek Patriarch and another US diplomat has been sent to Mt Athos to persuade the abbots of the Greek monasteries there to recognize the Ukrainian schismatics. This comes at a time when the main source of funding for the Patriarchate in Istanbul, the Greek-American Archdiocese, has gone bankrupt, with tens of millions of its dollars 'disappeared'.
However, in Turkey the bankrupt US-appointed Patriarch Bartholomew knows that if he recognized the Ukrainian regional schismatics (under the pressure of US bribes), it would be the end of the road for him, his authority was already torn to shreds at his Crete meeting in 2016. Claiming to promote Orthodox unity, he in fact has already undermined it. If next he accepted the schismatics in the Ukraine (as he has already done in the Diaspora), he would destroy unity and would himself fall into schism. Then his only alternative would be to become a sub-department of the Vatican, just like his predecessors before 1453.
But the Ukrainian affair is just a drop in the ocean. The real business lies just two countries away from the Ukraine, across Patriarch Bartholomew's Turkey, in Syria. And that story goes back over a generation.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union from 1989 on through Communist incompetence, corruption and treachery, the neocon Anglo-Zionist elite of the one remaining world Superpower, the USA, wasted no time in destroying Eastern Europe and then dealing with its next 'enemy', Islam. So it set itself up in the Middle East and the Islamic world, invading Iraq twice, and set about creating chaos in Afghanistan and North Africa, destroying Kosovo, Libya and then Syria and threatening the nuclear annihilation of Iran. At the behest of its strange bedfellow-allies of Israel and Saudi Arabia/Qatar, it wanted to destroy the power of Islam.
However, in the case of Syria, lying literally just beyond Armageddon, it had not foreseen Russian intervention in support of the local Christians, some still Aramaic-speaking, and the pro-Christian Muslims. In revenge, in 2014 the USA overthrew the democratic government of the Ukraine and tried to set up bases on Russian borders there, having invested five billion dollars to do so and put its snipers on the roof of the US Embassy in Kiev. Its agents then shot down a civilian airliner to try and pin the blame on 'the evil Putin'. Its colonial vassal governments in Poland, the Baltics, Romania, Scandinavia, France (1), and above all in the UK, began their campaign against Russia too.
Thu, we read absurd stories of Russian submarines off the coast of Sweden, Russia election meddling in the US and computer hacking everywhere. More recently, there has been the ridiculous false flag affair in Salisbury, presented by UK State mouthpiece media propaganda, which some (admittedly mainly pensioners) actually swallowed (as they did the absurd story of Litvinenko)! The Salisbury affair (its three victims temporarily poisoned by a NATO toxin from the evil chemical weapons base at Porton Down just outside Salisbury, now all abducted by the UK secret services) has been compared to Sarajevo. After all, having lost two wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq, but with 40% and more of world armaments spending (against Russia's four per cent), the US elite wants to use its arms and the military-industrial complex, and the banks that finance it, need war.
This has brought talk of World War III. Is this really a possibility? Are we really on the verge of Armageddon? The pessimistic (and sensationalist) scenario is indeed World War Three, Salisbury is indeed Sarajevo. True, on the hundredth anniversary of the Anglo-Zionist backed overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II and his martyrdom with his noble family, three generations after the Yalta-Potsdam settlement, we are reaching 'a tide in the affairs of men'. But the pessimists' scenario is not the only one. There is a neutral scenario, that despite all the changes and reshapings, the world will continue without much more violence and disruption than now. But thirdly, there is the optimists' scenario.
This says that the anti-Christian Western world has reached the limits of its decadence and can go no further. The 90% of the world that is not subjugated to being a vassal of transgender Washington (that is, everywhere except the USA, the Anglosphere, most of the EU, the Israel, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Japan, South Korea) rejects ceaseless US wars and meddling. Russia, attacked and surrounded by the aggressive NATO forces, has been allied to China. Moldova and Serbia still have not joined either the EU or NATO, whose headquarters are almost side by side in Brussels. The present US attempt to overthrow the government in Armenia has not so far been successful, like its attempts to seize power in Moscow, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Moreover, the key NATO country, Turkey, has been so disgusted at the US attempt to assassinate its popular nationalist President Erdogan and replace him with the CIA-puppet Gulen, that it is allying itself with Russia. Together, and with Iran, they are destroying the barbaric Western-backed and armed terrorists in Syria. And Turkey is precisely the country where Patriarch Bartholomew lives. In Russia, President Putin is not getting any younger and has no obvious successor. Why should his successor not be the long-awaited coming Tsar? This would end the mess that the world has been in ever since 1917 and also put an end to the Balkan nationalist decadence in the Church of God, with its pseudo-calendar, pseudo-councils and Ukrainian schismatics who mascarade as Christians.
We can only pray for the optimistic scenario. Otherwise we shall see ourselves slipping even further towards the reign of Antichrist. Important days lie ahead.
Its President, Macron, is a Rothschild protégé just like his friend Trump, who defeated the Rockefeller protégé, Clinton. The 'Western' world after all is only an invention of these financial clans, which in their time financed both the Soviet Union and Hitler.

The Western World in Turmoil
With the Washington administration descending into infighting between the new 'Drain the Swamp' President and the neocons of the 'Dark State', who, regardless of Party tag, have been in control for a generation and do not want to give it up, US powerbrokers seem to be paralysed.
In the US-vassal organization, the EU, the policy of 'Destroy the Church, the Nation and the Family' has developed dramatically over the last generation, building on the millennial attack on the Church and the 20th-century attack on the Nation-State by the Western European elite. However, it too is now being challenged by the anti-EU protest of the European peoples, who want either their spiritual freedom (Church Life), or their identity (National Life), or simply their sanity (Family Life) back.
The Western world seems to be reaching a turning-point. Does it continue on the hysterical path towards Antichrist that it took 100 years ago and which it has accelerated on, especially in the last 50 years, or does it stop and perhaps even turn back to its roots and common sense? We of course do not know, but we do know that now is the time for prayer and repentance – or else….

A Victory for Confederation over Unionism
Although against the views of the younger generation, the older generation in Scotland has, unlike most of Ireland over 90 years ago, not chosen full independence, it has chosen home rule. This is in itself is revolutionary. It means that Scotland has rejected the 1707 form of Union, which was successful at the time only because of massive bribery by the British elite. This means that Northern Ireland, Wales and above all England will also receive home rule, whether the politicians grant it willingly or not. Unlike most of Ireland, independence for the peoples of the British Isles is to be gradual and non-violent. It means that the Unionist 'United' Kingdom, centralized in London, is no more; the Isles must now seek Confederation.
The Scottish referendum is a defeat for Unionism and the centralized State, as in the Ukraine, where a centralized State, a Leninist-Stalinist conglomerate, so keenly supported by so-called 'democratic', self-interested Western politicians, is massacring its own peoples. The results are a clear warning to Unionists in the EU and the USA and a clear warning to elitist Establishments everywhere. Elections to such Establishments are rarely popular and are characterized by very low turnouts. However, when the question put to the electorate actually concerns them, the effect on it is electrifying. Although total freedom for Scotland has not been achieved, the result is a turning-point in UK political life, whose configuration will never be the same again.
Firstly, the Labour Party has suffered massive defections to the Scottish National Party. Having allied itself with the Establishment, the Labour Party will probably never be elected again to government, either in Scotland or in England. Secondly, however, the Conservative Party, almost identical in views to the Labour Party, may also be unelectable – as it was already in 2010. Just as the Labour Party compromised its principles under the Tory Blair, so the Conservative Party has also compromised its principles under the Liberal Cameron. Thus the Labour Party is unelectable in Scotland because of the Scottish National Party, but the Conservative Party is unelectable in England because of the English National Party, although that still calls itself UKIP.
Since the three Westminster Establishment parties have all been reduced to rumps of careerists and opportunists, puppets of Washington and Brussels (Berlin), then the field is now free for new parties to speak up for the undertrodden and disenfranchized peoples of theses Isles. The field is now open to any party, of left or right, which can listen to the people and show a love of freedom and justice – everything that the old parties, captives of banksters, arms merchants, privatized and virtually unregulated monopolies and retail lobbies, have not done. Only through Confederation can the 'United Kingdom' survive for another generation, after which its dissolution will probably occur in the next referendum. It is a question of time.

The firm represented a major surety in an indemnity action against its bond principal for expenses incurred by the surety from a construction defect claim by the owner of the project. At the trial level, the court dismissed the surety's claim for indemnity against the principal. The firm appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court, which overturned the trial court's holding against the surety. After the holding was overturned, the firm successfully brought a motion for summary judgment that resulted in a $475,000 judgment against the principal.


In addition to the personal costs, both financial and social, there are significant healthcare costs involved with managing UI in the elderly. In the United States, it has been suggested that the economic impact of UI may exceed $26 billion annually.3 Overall, UI and VD can and should be actively treated even in elderly and often frail older patients. Evaluation and management of urinary issues in the elderly needs to be specifically tailored to the individual patient's issues and functional status.

BREAKING: MMM Nigeria Freezes All Participants' Money Till Next Year
No Comments on BREAKING: MMM Nigeria Freezes All Participants' Money Till Next Year
Barely 24 hours after MMM founder, Sergey Mavrodi wrote an open letter to Nigerian Authorities, criticising the later's constant attacks on the ponzi scheme, the administrators of the scheme, early Tuesday, announced freezing of participants' monies for one month.
In a letter posted on the scheme's website, MMM said; "As usual, in the New Year season, the System is experiencing heavy workload.
Confirming the severity of constant attacks on the controversial scheme, the statement said "moreover, it has to deal with the constant frenzy provoked by the authorities in the mass media.
"Hence, on the basis of the above mentioned, from now on all confirmed Mavro will be frozen for a month", the statement partly reads.
Mavro is the general name used to describe participants' money in the system.
It added; "The reason for this measure is evident. We need to prevent any problems during the New Year season, and then, when everything calms down, this measure will be cancelled. (Which we will definitely do.:-))
Urging participants not to panic, MMM said that "the things are still going well; the participants feel calm; everyone gets paid – as you can see, there haven't been any payment delays or other problems yet – but!.. it is better to avoid taking risk.:-)) (Moreover, there are almost three weeks left to the New Year.)
By implication, over three million Nigerian participants as claimed by the founder, Mavrodi, who were planning to withdraw their money ahead of the yuletide season will have to wait for one month.
Triotinaija recalls that similar scenario had played out in Zimbabwe and South Africa, where participants money were frozen for certain period, pausing the system, only to return with new adjustment in its terms.

Replacing concrete steps is an involved and difficult process. While very minor concrete step repair might be something of a simple task, more extensive work will definitely require the hand of an experienced and skilled professional. When considering things like the cost of doing the job yourself, potential pitfalls that you may come across and the risk carried with the quality of non-professional work, it makes all the more sense to talk to someone who knows exactly how to address the problem.
With that being the case, you'll want to get in touch with a concrete preservation contractor who can do the job correctly the first time and in a timely manner.
Ideally, any potential contractor that you consider hiring would be skilled in a number of areas involving concrete restoration, because step replacement is just one part of that industry.
