Charles Spencer ( – ),  comte de Sunderland, connu sous le nom de Lord Spencer, est un homme politique britannique. Il occupe les fonctions de Lord lieutenant d'Irlande (1714-1717), Lord du sceau privé (1715-1716), Lord Président du Conseil (1717-1719), et Premier Lord du Trésor (1718-1721).

Biographie

Études et mariage
Il est le deuxième fils de Robert Spencer (1641-1702),  de Sunderland et d'Anne Digby, fille de George Digby,  comte de Bristol. À la mort de son frère aîné, Henry, en septembre 1688 à Paris, Charles Spencer devient l'héritier de la pairie.

Appelé par John Evelyn « a youth of extraordinary hopes », il effectue une partie de ses études à l'université d'Utrecht et entre en 1695 à la Chambre des communes en tant que représentant de Tiverton. La même année, il épouse Arabella, fille de Henry Cavendish. Elle meurt en 1698. Il épouse en 1700 Anne Spencer, fille du  de Marlborough et de Sarah Churchill. C'est une alliance importante pour Sunderland et ses descendants : elle lui permet de rentrer dans la vie politique et plus tard, le titre de duc de Marlborough ira à la famille Spencer.

Carrière politique

Ayant hérité de la pairie en 1702, Sunderland devient l'un des commissaires pour l'union entre l'Écosse et l'Angleterre. En 1705, il est envoyé à Vienne en tant que représentant. Il a des idées républicaines et s'est parfois opposé à la reine Anne, notamment lorsque celle-ci décide de donner une subvention à son mari, Georges de Danemark. Grâce à l'influence du duc de Marlborough, il entre en fonction au Secretary of State for the Southern Department en . De 1708 à 1710, il est l'un des cinq Whigs appelé communément la « Junte Whigs », qui dominent le gouvernement mais comptent beaucoup d'ennemis. La reine ne l'apprécie pas et en , il est renvoyé. Elle lui offre une pension de 3000£ par an mais il refuse et déclare que s'il ne pouvait pas avoir l'honneur de servir son pays, il ne le pillerait pas.

Sunderland continue à prendre part à la vie publique et communique beaucoup avec la Maison de Hanovre, intéressée par la succession de la reine Anne, alors mourante. Il fait la connaissance de George de Hanovre en 1706 mais quand celui-ci monte sur le trône, il lui garantit seulement la position (sans importance) de Lord lieutenant d'Irlande. En 1715, Sunderland devient Lord du sceau privé. Après une visite à Georges I, il devient en 1717 Secretary of State for the Southern Department. Position qu'il conserve même lorsqu'il devient Premier Lord du Trésor et qu'il cumule aussi avec la charge de Lord Président du Conseil. Il est intéressé par une proposition de loi destinée à limiter le nombre de représentants à la Chambre des lords. Le projet échoue notamment à cause de l'opposition de Robert Walpole. En 1719, il devient l'un des principaux mécènes de la Royal Academy of Music, qui joue des l'opéra baroque.

Sa seconde femme meurt en . En 1717, il épouse une irlandaise fortunée, Judith Tichborne, fille de Sir Benjamin Tichborne et d'Elizabeth Gibbs. Elle épousera plus tard Sir Robert Sutton.

Retrait de la politique

La faillite de la Compagnie des mers du Sud le ruine politiquement. Il y avait fait quelques investissements, mais n'en a pas profité financièrement. Cependant, l'opinion publique s'est soulevée contre lui et c'est seulement grâce aux efforts de Walpole qu'il est acquitté par la Chambre des communes. En , il quitte ses fonctions mais garde son influence sur Georges I jusqu'à sa mort le .

Il semble qu'il fut membre de la Franc-maçonnerie, "d'après un tableau rassemblant des partisans des Whigs parmi lesquels figurait Désaguliers.".

Caractère

Sunderland a hérité de la passion de son père pour les intrigues alors que ses manières étaient repoussantes. Il s'est cependant distingué de ses associés par son désintéressement et son esprit alerte et sagace. Dans sa jeunesse, il avait une grande passion pour les livres et passait tous ses loisirs à la bibliothèque d'Althorp, qui a été décrite en 1703 comme la "meilleure en Europe". En 1749, une partie de son contenu est transféré au palais de Blenheim.

Mariage et descendance

De sa première femme, Arabella Cavendish, il n'aura qu'une fille :

Frances Spencer (morte le ), mariée à Henry Howard

Avec sa deuxième épouse, Anne Churchill, il aura cinq enfants :

Robert Spencer ( – ),  de Sunderland, succède à son père ;
Anne Spencer (1702 – ), mariée à William Bateman,  Bateman ;
Charles Spencer ( – ), succède à son frère comme  de Sunderland, et à sa tante, Henrietta Godolphin, comme  duc de Marlborough ;
John Spencer ( – ), propriétaire terrien, père de John Spencer,  comte Spencer ;
Diana Russell (1710 – ), mariée à John Russell,  duc de Bedford.

Avec sa troisième et dernière épouse, Judith Tichborne, il aura trois enfants, tous morts en bas âge.

Charles Spencer est l'ancêtre de deux personnalités britanniques par deux de ses fils : Winston Churchill descendant de Charles Spencer et Diana Spencer descendante de John Spencer.

(REUTERS) - Manchester United striker Federico Macheda has joined Birmingham City on loan until the end of the season, the Championship club said on their website (www.bcfc.com) on Friday.
The 22-year-old Italian's career has stalled since he scored a stunning winning goal on his United debut after coming on as a substitute in a Premier League game against Aston Villa in 2009.
Macheda also struck a late winner 46 seconds after coming on as a replacement in his next game against Sunderland to help United win the title but has since been on loan at Sampdoria, Queens Park Rangers, VfB Stuttgart and Doncaster Rovers.
Old Trafford youngsters Tyler Blackett and Tom Thorpe also joined Birmingham on loan on Friday.

Achang
The Achang ethnic minority mainly resides in Yunnan Province, southern part of China. With agriculture as its primary industry, it is famous for rice planting. In the past, Achang believed in the Hinayana at large. Its main religious festivals are such as Jinwa (Close-Door Festival), Chuwa (Open-Door Festival), the Burning Cabbage Festival and the Water-Splashing Festival. Apart from religious festivals, there are also many local special traditional festivals such as the Firebrand Festival, the Woluo Festival, the Flower Watering Festival and the Spring Festival, among which the Firebrand and Woluo festivals are larger in scale andricher in contents than the others.
Woluo Festival
On each lunar February 4, the Achang ethnic minority holds the Woluo Festival, one of the important traditional festivals of the Achang people. In Achang language, Woluo means amusement near the house. Legend has it that this festival is held to memorize the primogenitor that created the world.
On the eve of the festival, people in every village put up an altar of 4 square meters with two decorated archways in the middle, on which they paint the sun, moon and stars above and two color figures of Achang, one male and one female, below symbolizing two ancestors. On the top of the archways, there is a wood-carved arrow on full bow erected to represent the arrow used to shoot down the fake sun.
The grand rite of the ancestor worship is presided by the Huopao who will troll the myth epic of his people to praise the great achievement of the two creators. Then following the Huopao, people sing the original and simple Woluo Melody around the altar and perform the Woluo Dance, which takes the nature view of sun and moon as the stage scenes. The dancing and singing will go on the whole night. Besides, there are some recreational performances such as the martial art, singing in antiphonal style, swinging, and spring lanterns, etc. The festival carries through under an atmosphere of piety, pleasure and auspices.
Lunar January 4 is contributed for the commemoration of the deeds of the two legendary primogenitors of Achang, who eradicated the banes and created benefits for the people. On the occasion, people will scarify the best dishes to him. Afterward, they will slaughter dogs and eat dog meat with taros. If the boa can be caught on the very fete day, it is considered as an auspicious sign.
Firebrand Festival
The festival is held on lunar June 24. On that day, people will slaughter swine and cattle for the sacrifice in order to pray for a bumper harvest as well as drive away pests and disasters. On the festival, raw pork and rice noodles are cooked for everybody. In the evening, people wander around the village with lit firebrands.
Water-Splashing Festival
The Achang ethnic minority celebrates the same Water-Splashing Festival as the Dai ethnic minority. It is a good opportunity for the youngling to choose their lovers. Girls' families often prepare eight delicious dishes to welcome springals who are coming to court. Only after the numberof the diners meets the requirement ,people can get seated. The guy has to walk off with the chicken head from girl's family under cover. The guy with the chicken head has to drink, as a kind of punishment if the girl finds the chicken head, otherwise the girl has to drink. If the pilferer is caught on the spot, he will not only be penalized but also teased by girls. After the meal, the guy has to give money to the girl according to the cost of the dishes without being noticed by her.
Huijie Festival
As a traditional holiday of the Achang people, theHuijie Festival usuallyfalls in mid-September of each Chinese lunar year. The Achang people believe in the Hinayana. Huijie used to be a religious get-together. Legend has it that a Ge Da Ma (In Achang language, it means Bodhisattva) overcame many difficulties on his way to the heaven for acquiring the scriptures and finally succeeding in it. Then he decided to return to the world on September 15. To welcome his return, the Achang people arranged the black dragon and white elephant; young men and women collected rice and prepared vegetarian diet for the offering. This gradually became a traditional festival.
On the occasion, men dress in blue, black or white frocks with buttons down the front and black trousers, with a bag on the shoulder. And they wear a long piece of headcloth. Married women put on clothes buttoned down the front with long and narrow sleeves, and skirts covering the knees. They also wrap puttees and black or blue head cloth. Girls mostly set their braids over their heads. They have on their chests four ranges of silver buttons on juxtaposition, on which hang four silver chains. They also wear ornaments such as flowers, chaplets, and earrings. During the holiday, the main activities includeplayingwhite elephant and black dragon dance.The white elephants and black dragons are made by handicraftsmen in the villages, who use bamboo as the frames, paper as body cover and cloth as trunk. While playing the white elephants, a man hides himself inside and draws the rope on the pulley to control the swing up and down of the trunk. Young men in attires wave the black dragons.
At the beginning of the Huijie, people tie red silk on the white elephant and black dragon. By beating drums and gongs, men and women, young or old, gather around the elephant and dragon playing team, going around the village once. Then they all come to the square, and encircle the elephant and dragon. Abruptly the drums, gongs and cymbals start beating together. People begin to perform the merry and bold Elephant-Leg Drum Dance. While dancing, the cymbal beaters keep standing side on side with the drummers, jumping left and right, extending and drawing back from time to time, body heaving like wave. They make a large stride ahead while dancing, then squat by retreating, with striding, retreating and squatting three times. When the performance reaches the upsurge, the crowd of onlookers cheer and applaud. At the same time, the white elephants shake their trunks much more frequently and the black dragons dance more fiercely.
Seeding Festival and Fresh Tasting Festival
The Seeding and Fresh Tasting festivals are both traditional feasts of Achang, which respectively fall on March 10 and August 15 on Chinese lunar calendar. On the festival, every family tidies up the courtyard and room, and prepares fish, rice noodles, acid food and rice wine. Then they go to the field to pick a pocket of the biggest taros and a maize cob with two spikes. They enlace the corn and tarosarounda bamboo pole of around 1 meter long,andplace it in the left ortheright corner of the main room. Afterward they braise fresh rice and slaughter a fat chicken, and put them on the altar to recall their ancestors. Married women will be taken back home for family reunion. After thedinner, men will put on blue, black or colorless short frocks and black trousers; women will dress themselves in shirts buttoned down the front and wear aprons. They also wear silver chaplets, on which there are ornaments such as silver chains, fringes and silver badges. Young girlswillset their braid on the head. They get together in the front or at the rear of the village, enjoying dancing and singing.
Seeding and Fresh Tasting festivals date back long ago. Legend has it that long ago, there was an old woman of Achang ethnic minority, who always kept the plump seeds of various cereals and sent them to others in the planting season in the coming year.People loved and respected her, because she always helped others and improved their farming skills. In August of one year, she passed away before the harvest. All the people felt sad and sorry on such news, because she could not taste the corn she had planted and wore the new dress she had woven.They processed the rice, legumes, and vegetables she had planted into delicious food, and made new dress of the cloth she had woven, which they sacrificed on her altar.
Since then, on each lunar August 15, every household of Achang tidies up rooms and prepares an ample feast with rice, legumes, melons and fruits they have harvested that year.That is the origin ofthe Fresh Tasting Festival. In March of the next yearafterthe old woman died, people planted the seeds she had left. Hence, on March 10 of every year, people usuallyholdthe Seeding Festival.
Up to date, taking advantage of their married daughters coming back home, the Achang people exchange seeds of various crops with one another to increase the output .

OPINION: Your Straight Pride plans should go straight into the trash
A young holds up the flag that he is proud to represent Friday, Jun. 17, 2016. —Photo courtesy of Spencer —Photo courtesy of Robbie Spencer
Jacob Hamm
Pride Month has come and with it, echoes of the calls that come every year. "What about straight pride?" Similar calls echo on March eighth and throughout February: "Where is the White History Month?" "Why is there no International Men's Day?" (There is, it's November 19th.) Many people who are not a part of marginalized groups feel that they, too, should have a designated time for recognition, in the same way that marginalized groups such as women, African-Americans and people of the LGBTQ+ community do. The goal of these types of comments often is to draw attention away from these celebrations of marginalized groups, because heaven forbid that a day go by in which a cishet, white male identity isn't at the forefront. However, for those who protest saying, "That's not why I'm doing it! I just feel that straight people deserve the same recognition that gays do!" I'm here to tell you that no, they don't.
In some instances, these questions have a slightly legitimate base. Take for example Pride, the celebration of the LGBTQ+ community that takes place in June to honor the Stonewall riots. Certain members of the LGBTQ+ community can seem unwelcoming or exclusionary to straight people, even if said people are there to be allies, which can cause many people outside of the community to feel alienated or unwelcome at Pride events. This feeling of exclusion can lead to some allies possibly feeling like they need to create their own celebration. But in order to understand this it must be analyzed.
This exclusionary feeling may seem like it comes from "gatekeeping" ideologies, however, is often actually a defense mechanism to protect the LGBTQ+ community from situations in which straight people claiming to be allies invade safe spaces for the queer community and use them for their own satisfaction or fetishization. This year's Manchester Pride, for example, has been highly controversial for its commercialization of the Pride Festival — charging a fee to get in — and exclusion of queer voices — featuring Ariana Grande as the headliner instead of one of many mainstream queer artists such as Panic! at the Disco, Troye Sivan or Hayley Kiyoko. Situations like these rightly lead members of the LGBTQ+ community to be on guard to non-members of the community, and while it is not necessarily an excuse for the behavior, it is an explanation that helps to understand the reasoning behind it.
As to why there is not a need for a straight or cisgender pride festival, I have some simple questions. Are straight people judged because of the gender of the person they are dating? Are they afraid to walk down the street holding hands with their significant other? Are cisgender people repeatedly called the wrong name on purpose because people refuse to accept who they are? Are they terrified to tell your family or closest friends about such an integral part of themself, something that they cannot change, because of fear of abandonment, disownment, or hatred? Exactly. Straight and cisgender people do not need a celebration for that part of their identity because they have not been discriminated against for it and are considered normal for it.
In relation to Black History Month, people justify their support for ideas such as a "white history month" by saying it is a celebration of culture and heritage. To put it bluntly, it's just not. Celebrations of Irish, Italian, German, English, et cetera would be examples of celebrations of culture or heritage. "White History Month" is a celebration of the color of your skin. Now you may be thinking, "Hey, isn't that the same as Black History Month?" which is an astute observation. However, context is very important. It must be understood that many people in the black community do not have knowledge or access to documents about the specifics of their ethnicity due to calculated and purposeful destruction of the cultures and languages of their ancestors. Because of this, they rally around an experience and knowledge they all have, the experience of being black in America. Whites in America have the ability to find out their specific ethnicity through relatively simple personal research. Therefore, a celebration of their culture would be a celebration of your ethnicity, and would not be related to the color of your skin.
Hopefully this has made many rethink their feelings on celebrations of certain identities. It is important to remember that the majority of these celebrations are to allow marginalized groups an opportunity to celebrate their identity. Non-marginalized groups have not experienced the same discrimination, and therefore do not require the same celebrations. If you hear someone arguing a need for any of these celebrations, remind them why their counterpart celebrations exist in the first place.

Green light for world's tallest modular tower in Croydon
December 4, 2017 December 5, 2017 By Croydon Urban Edge
Croydon planners have given the green light for a twin-tower scheme of build-to-rent flats that will become the world's tallest offsite scheme.
Tide Construction, with funding from investor Greystar, is planning to build the 44 and 38-storey scheme on the former Essex House site near to East Croydon station. The 546-flat towers scheme, drawn up by HT Design, will be worth over £150 million and will be a trailblazer for modular construction methods. Presently, the tallest prefabricated building in the world is a 32-storey block in New York.
Tide is both a development and contracting company, and has delivered several projects in recent years using its off-site manufacturing system, Vision Modular Systems. VMS has delivered factory built homes for both Pocket and Greystar in recent years. Tide claims its modular based building programme often results in a 60% time saving, compared with conventional construction schemes.
Christy Hayes, Chief Executive of Tide Construction said: "This project is a huge milestone for both us as a company and for modular developments as an innovative, modern method of construction. This development emphasises the true potential of modular construction as a genuine solution to the UK's housing crisis, where high-quality homes can be delivered at pace in sought after urban areas. Both the government and industry are realising the benefits of modular construction, with 101 George Street being a pivotal moment for modular construction in the UK."
Tide developed the 28-storey Apex House, featuring 558 rooms, in less than a year. That development, in Wembley, is currently the tallest modular tower in London.

Who was Thoth
Ancient personages ~ Historical fact, myth or legend? Oahspe sheds light on many personages who are known of only as myths and legends. Moreover, earliest surviving accounts are often preserved as sacred scriptures. One such person is Thoth, known in ancient Egyptian lore as a man who later became an Egyptian God, and who later was adopted by the Greeks as Hermes, Messenger of the Gods. But was Thoth, the man and his life's work more widely known about in ancient times? It seems so ~ Comparing the details of various ancient stories of the Ezra Bible, (known as the Torah or Old Testament), we find similar parallels in ancient Egyptian lore. How does a bible, which was supposed to be unique to the people who claim it as their own, come to resemble other religious / sacred writings and stories? As we investigate the origins of these stories, we shall also find out who was Thoth along the way.
The discipline of Archaeology, ironically, began with the impetus to prove the Ezra Bible (The Jewish Torah, and the Old Testament) to be correct. The findings however were not what the first archaeologists expected and the very discipline that set out to prove the Ezra bible often became its detractor. Assumptions that the Pentateuch (first five books also known as the Tanakh) in the Ezra Bible was written by Moses, and handed down without error to the ancient Israelites and Jews have been strongly and successfully challenged. Not least of such challenges are the scholarly investigations into the origins of the Torah. Such investigations involved the analysis of various styles of writing and their historical and cultural contexts, as well as comparison and contextual examination of ancient written languages such as Proto Sinaitic / Proto Hebrew (hieroglyphic); Chaldean / Aramaic (Assyrian phonetic) and Greek.
Validation of proto Hebraic writing was found by Flinders Petrie at Serabit El Khadim on the Sinai Peninsula in 1904. It appears to represent an intermediate stage of writing between hieroglyphs and Semitic alphabet dating back to 1500 b.c.e. Petrie, however, was not the first modern discoverer of this script and site. In 1761, Barthold Niebuhr, a German explorer found it on the same mountain among ancient graves. Early translations allude to a plague caused by eating birds (quail). And Francis Frith published photos of this Sinaitic script carved on rocks in the Wadee El-Mukattab (Wadi Mukattab meaning: Valley of Writing), which he photographed in 1857:
Scholars confirmed that the Jewish Torah that exists today was written shortly after the return of the Jews from exile in Babylon. The sources of the Torah however are older than it, although the authors remain unknown or uncertain, various styles and perspectives have been identified. The Old Testament (the Septuagint) on the other hand was translated from an Aramaic version of the Jewish Torah to Greek later around 200 b.c.e. by Alexandrian Jews. Differences between the texts are often points of much discussion for bible scholars..
The discovery of the proto Sinaitic hieroglyphic type script demonstrated the kind of writing that existed at the time of Moses (1546 b.c.e.). Consequently the realization came that there was no certainty that what had been attributed to Moses was ever written by him. As biblical scholars and archaeologists continued to investigate and uncover the past, the names and dates of persons, places and events as written in the Ezra Bible (Jewish Torah / Old Testament of the Bible) were either different, missing or not readily recognizable.
As well as investigations into the authors of the Ezra Bible, its contents were also scrutinized. The creation story and the flood described in Genesis was found to have parallels in other ancient myths and religious stories. For example, the creation story involving a state of primordial "void / darkness / waters" that is transformed by the word of God shares parallels with ancient Egyptian lore:
Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth....And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters....And God said, Let there be light: and there was light....And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness....And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day....And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters....And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so....And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day....And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so....And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good...."Jewish Torah and Old Testament of the Bible
"Before the land of Egypt rose out of the waters at the beginning of the world, Ra the Shining One came into being. He was all-powerful, and the secret of his power lay in his name which was hidden from all the world. Having this power, he had only to name a thing and that thing too came into being. 'I am Khepera at dawn, and Ra at noon and Tum in the evening' he said ~ and as he said it, behold he was the sun rising in the east passing across the sky and setting in the west, and this was the first day. When he named Shu, the wind blew. The rain fell and he named Tefnut the spitter. After this he spoke the name of Geb and the earth rose above the waters of the sea. He cried: 'Nut!' ~ and the goddess was the arch of the sky stretching over the earth with her feet on one horizon and her hands on the other. Then he named Hapi, and the sacred River Nile flowed through Egypt to make it fruitful. Then Ra went on to name all the things on earth, which grew into being at his words. Last of all he spoke the words of 'man' and 'woman', and soon there were people dwelling throughout the land of Egypt." Roger Lancelyn Green, Tales of Ancient Egypt; 1967, p3.
A common feature of various creation myths is the emergence of the world from the waters of chaos that surround it and the All Powerful Creator God, who, by speaking words, creates the world. In Egyptian lore, this event represents the establishment of maat (divine system and order) and the origin of life, the same concepts are mirrored in the Genesis version.
"Let there be Light"
Genesis Gods and Goddesses of the Egyptian Pantheon represent the Creation Story
How did these two seemingly divergent cultures come to share such similar stories?
Oahspe reveals that Ezra compiled the Ezra Bible (Torah) after the Jews returned to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon. Originally it contained many more books than the Torah of the present time:
Oahspe, God's Book of Eskra 28/41.31.
....And there were thus completed seventy two books, and they were put on file in the king's library in Jerusalem, which was how the ancients preserved important records of events, and these books were named by Ezra, The Holy Library [Holy Bible ~ Ed.], of which number fifty four remain to this day.
Ezra and his scribes also travelled to Egypt and collected stories from the Egyptian records which he included in the Torah. The ancient Egyptian stories had themselves been adapted from even older stories passed down from ancient Vedic and Par'si'e'an (Zarathustrian) sources:
Oahspe, Book of Wars against Jehovih; 25/48.11-12.
So it came to pass that through the oracles, king Rowtsag [Ancient Egyptian King] bestowed upon the libraries of Egupt the history of the creation of heaven and earth, with the origin of sin, and the creation of man, the first of whom was now called Adam, instead of A'su, adopting the Par'si'e'an word instead of the Vedic.
And these records were the same from which Ezra, in the next dan'ha cycle, made selections, and erroneously attributed them to be the doctrines of the Faithists, who were called Iz'Zerlites [Israelites].
While Oahspe reveals the Egyptian origin of Genesis in the Ezra bible back in 1882, biblical scholars since then came to suspect such a case, and consequently put forward strong evidence of the same. The noted early pioneer of this approach was A.S. Yahuda, who wrote "The Language of the Pentateuch in its Relation to Egyptian" (Oxford U.P., 1933) and "The Accuracy of the Bible" (USA: E.P. Hutton & Co.,1935). Here again is more clear validation that Oahspe, through spirit, revealed information not known in its time:
Egyptian Origin of Genesis
||....The terms and idioms used [in Genesis] are Egyptian through and through. Indeed such is the resemblance to Egyptian phraseology and custom that some scholars now regard these chapters of Genesis as based on an Egyptian record. One such commentator is the Israeli Egyptologist A.S. Yahuda..... Yahuda wondered at the superabundance of Egyptian terms, phrases, metaphors and loan-words present throughout Genesis, remarking on their comparative absence from later books of the Old Testament........Indeed, as we have said, so strong is the evidence that some commentators have suggested an Egyptian original of the narrative which Hebrew scribes more or less copied.....|| Out of Place Artifacts.com
Oahspe reveals that the Ezra Bible contains the Egyptian version of the De'yus and Osiris bible, first given to mortals around 2850 b.c.e. and a book of generations (Genesis), as given and later revised by Osiris. (See Oahspe, Book of Wars against Jehovih regarding the history of De'yus and Osiris.)
Here also is the explanation for extraordinary ages given to the descendents of Adam to Noah:
Oahspe, Book of the Arc of Bon: 27/20.17-21.
Pharaoh's scribes and recorders assembled in Kaona, and they appointed Feh-ya (an Eguptian), to write the departure of the Israelites out of Egupt. And Feh-ya wrote the account and called it the EXODUS OF THE HEBREWS, and it was recorded in the king's House of Records. And copies of it were sent to the large cities, and there recorded also, for such was the law of Egupt. Feh-ya's record was afterward accepted by Ezra, and is that which is known to this day as the First Book of Exodus.
The Book of Genesis, as it stood in the Eguptian records, was written by Akaboth and Dueram and Hazed, and was the substance from which Ezra copied it through his scribes, even as it is to this day. The inspiration of Genesis was from the God Osiris, the false, and his emissaries, chief of whom were Yotabba and Egupt, who were angel servants to Osiris. And so far as the records now stand, the spirit of both books was the Eguptian version of the whole subject.
Touching genealogies, in which men seemed to have lived to so great an age, this, then, is the explanation for it: Thothma had said to his recorders: "In searching for the truth of legends, give the latitude of it. For one legend will say, such a man lived seven hundred years ago; another legend will say he lived one thousand fifty years ago. The latitude between them is, therefore, three hundred fifty years, which shall be the time of that man's life." And in this way latitude became confounded with fact, and with no intent to deceive.
And behold, it came to pass that the records were worthless; and to make matters worse the records were so voluminous, being more than six thousand books, that the scribes of Ezra could make neither head nor tail of them. Nevertheless, they were all written, in the first place not by the Israelites, but by their enemies, where, even so, the testimony of the miracles is none the weaker.
Oahspe, Book of Saphah; 35/K.47, 57-58.
The [Israelite] Faithists proper were a small minority, and scattered in many lands. The rest, who were called Jews, lived under written laws and ceremonies, which were compiled and established by Ezra, in Jerusalem (under the inspiration of Looeamong), which combination of books was called the Bible, and was completed in the year 2344 B.K (495 b.c.e.).
..... Now, from the time of Moses to Ezra, there was an interval of four hundred years [from 1550 to 1150 b.c.e.], in which the Jews had no written record. The age of the Ezra Bible is not, therefore, from the time of Moses, but from the time of Ezra.
Resolving Scrambled Timelines
Applying Oahspe's revelatory information to discoveries regarding the origins of the Torah (Old Testament) brings forth more corresponding factors to locate and identify various key characters, including Moses and Hojax, the builder of the Great Pyramid.
Oahspe reveals that Hojax (the builder of the Great Pyramid) named himself after Thoth, who had lived some 900 years before him. Hojax took the name Thothma, signifying the God Thoth (Oahspe, Book of Wars: 25/48.14). Moses refers to the builder of the first pyramid as Thothma (Oahspe, Book of Arc of Bon; 27/17.17 ), but it is historically known as the Great Pyramid. The implications of it being referred to as the first pyramid in Moses' time highlights a distinction between the more ancient monuments and those that came after the Great Pyramid.
Thothma lived some nine hundred years after Thoth and some four hundred years before Moses (Was it Thothma who first idealized Thoth as a God when he emulated his name?). It was Thothma who enslaved the Israelites to build his Great Pyramid. Here-in is confirmation that the Jewish Torah statements that the Israelites were enslaved for 430 years was correctly taken from the Egyptian records, for it was some 400 years from the time that Thothma enslaved the Israelites to build the Great Pyramid until the time of Moses and the Exodus.
Moreover Oahspe's explanation regarding the Egyptian documents Ezra used to compile the Pentateuch clears up the problem of how Joseph appears to be not much more than 200 years before Moses. Namely, the records that contained the story of the Exodus were written at least sixteen hundred years after the original Egyptian account of Genesis. Although a revised book of Generations was written around 550 years before Moses (deposited in the Egyptian kings' library by King Rowtsag). This revised version likely reduced the generations even further, so that ancient personages were brought many hundreds (and even a thousand and more years) forward in time. (The reasons for such revisions is also explained in Oahspe, which relate to the fall and rise of different / opposing hegemonies bent on wiping out the memory of their predecessors.) The correct date given to Abraham according to Oahspe would be around 3960 b.c.e. at the dawn of the cycle of Cpenta Armij.
Thoth, the Seer of Arabin'ya
Oahspe names and describes a number of kings and other persons who lived during the cycle of Cpenta Armij, which began around 5960 years before the present (3960 b.c.e.) and ended 3560 years ago (1550 b.c.e.), including those who lived in Arabin'ya and South Arabin'ya (South Arabin'ya was the ancient name of Egypt and further south into Africa, although the whole of Africa was also called Ham/Khem), later named Egypt.
THOTH was the first significant mortal mentioned in the land of Arabin'ya (including ancient Canaan) after Abraham and his son Isaac.
Book of Wars against Jehovih: 25/27.11-12.
And again De'yus spoke, saying: The Lord your God said to you, Osiris, and to you, Te-in, and to you, Sudga: Search among mortals for one high in su'is [seership], for when I announce my doctrines, you shall go to that mortal and cause him to write my words, saying: "These are the words of the Lord, your God." To answer if you have found such a su'is, I bid you all to speak now before me.
Osiris said: According to your commandments I have searched and have found Thoth the highest man in su'is, and he dwells in Arabin'ya.
The words of the "Lord God" were to be the "Dey'us bible" which was essentially a post-Abraham corrupted version of God's word as it had first been given to Zarathustra (See Book of God's Word 21/8.1-21/12.8) more than 9,000 years before the present. Dey'us bible included reinterpretations of creation and "origin of sin" discarding the greater wisdom of the nature of the Creator and His Creation. It is the substance of this book that is the basis of Egyptian and Genesis creation stories. (See Book of Wars against Jehovih: 25/29.1- 25/29.42).
Osiris' chosen su'is (seer / oracle), Thoth, apparently, was not raised expressly for the purpose of carrying out the task assigned to him by generations of preparation, but was searched for among the mortals within the false Lord's dominions. Once such a su'is was found by Osiris, not only would he write the De'yus bible, but the new bible would require a powerful ruler to proclaim and impress it as a religious doctrine upon the population.
Subsequently, Thoth became counsellor and advisor to the king, for the mortal personage of Thoth in Egyptian lore is IMHOTEP. In Egyptian chronology he was the architect and builder of the "first" pyramid for King Djoser of the 3rd Dynasty, dating anywhere from 2900 to 2700 b.c.e. Although there were pyramids built long before Djoser's time, Egyptologists consider it to be the first pyramid since, being made of stone and constructed as a durable solid monument, it survived to the present time. Earlier structures most likely were smaller, modest temples with dark rooms for spirit communion.
||......Nevertheless, he was certainly the first pharaoh to erect a [substantial] pyramid or large monument of stone. The design of the Sakkara Step Pyramid's adjacent temple complex, in particular, provides ample proof of this. Columns are shaped in imitation of reed bundles and ceilings in imitation of palm logs. Doors are provided with imitation hinges.....||
Thoth and Imhotep are the same Personage
Thoth was a deity of Egypt, and Imhotep the man, is closely associated with him. And conversely, Thoth's titles connect him with Imhotep. Among them are:
Scribe of Ma'at in the Company of the Gods who Dwelleth in Unnu,
The Pacifier of the Gods,
Lord of Divine Words
Thoth was considered to be the heart and tongue of Ra as well as the means by which Ra's will was translated into speech......He has further been involved in arbitration, magic, writing, science, and the judging of the dead......His roles in Egyptian mythology were many. Thoth served as a mediating power, especially between good and evil, making sure neither had a decisive victory over the other. He also served as scribe of the gods, credited with the invention of writing and alphabets (ie. hieroglyphs) themselves.....The Egyptians credited him as the author of all works of science, religion, philosophy, and magic. The Greeks further declared him the inventor of astronomy, astrology, the science of numbers, mathematics, geometry, land surveying, medicine, botany, theology, civilized government, the alphabet, reading, writing, and oratory. They further claimed he was the true author of every work of every branch of knowledge, human and divine......Thoth was universally worshipped by ancient Egyptian Scribes. Many scribes had a painting or a picture of Thoth in their "office". Likewise, one of the symbols for scribes was that of the ibis.......Thoth was inserted in many tales as the wise counsel and persuader, and his association with learning, and measurement, led him to be connected with Seshat.....(Wikipedia)
And Imhotep was also a "patron god" of scribes and considered to be a god of wisdom and peace among other titles which are similar to those of Thoth:
Imhotep is one of the few Egyptian gods (other than the pharaohs) who was actually a real person. He was the vizier of Netjerikhet (Djoser), a pharaoh of the third dynasty. He was skilled in all areas of administration and royal enterprises. Imhotep was also a priest, writer, a doctor and a founder of the Egyptian studies of astronomy and architecture.
Imhotep was known perhaps best of all as the architect of the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, near Memphis. The Step Pyramid was the first structure created by human hands to be built entirely from stone. It was as a wise man and scribe that Imhotep was first honored as a god. In the New Kingdom was venerated as the patron of scribes....Imhotep was the royal advisor to King Zoser during the Third Dynasty of Kemet. Regarded as the world's first recorded multi-genius, Imhotep was an architect, astronomer, philosopher, poet and physician. During his lifetime he was given a host of titles, among them: Chancellor of the King of Lower Kemet, the First after the King of Upper Kemet, High Priest of Heliopolis and Administrator of the Great Palace. His very name, Im-Hotep, translates as the Prince of Peace....He was also associated with Thoth and became a patron of wisdom and medicine.......Imhotep, called "God of Medicine," "Prince of Peace," and a "Type of Christ." Imhotep was worshipped as a god and healer from approximately 2850 B.C. to 525 B.C..... (Egyptian Myths.net)
Thoth and Joseph were the same person
Considering that Genesis was taken from the Egyptian records found by Ezra, it is not surprising to find that the personage of Thoth, Osiris' scribe, also corresponds to a significant person in the Genesis of the first Ezra Bible. Biblical scholars have found common characteristics between IMHOTEP, priest, seer, sage and deified builder of the first large stone pyramid (the Step Pyramid of King Djoser at Saqqara), and JOSEPH, a descendent of Abraham. Joseph and King Djoser share very similar names which both mean "The Wise". King Djoser received this name after his death as well as being diefied. In Egyptian lore his greatness is associated with the wisdom and achievements of his vizier Imhotep.
Joseph and his brothers in Egypt
Were Joseph and Imhotep of Egypt the Same Man?
[Matching Personages between Egyptian and Jewish historical figures are] Joseph and Imhotep. Egyptian tradition tells us that two centuries or so after Menes there lived a great pharaoh named Djoser ("the Wise"), whose vizier, Imhotep, was regarded as the greatest of all Egyptian sages.
Djoser and Imhotep, the legend says, lived during a famine lasting seven years, and it was a dream of the king's that provided Imhotep with the clue to solving the crisis. Similarly, Hebrew history tells us that two centuries or so after Abraham there lived Joseph, the great seer and visionary, who became pharaoh's vizier, and helped solve the crisis of a seven-year famine by interpreting the king's dreams.
Historians, of course, have long been aware of the striking resemblances between Imhotep and Joseph, and a great deal has been written on the subject. They would undoubtedly have realized the identity of the two men a long time ago, but the erroneous chronology, which separated them by over a thousand years, confused the issue.
......it is to Immanuel Velikovsky that the present work owes most. Velikovsky's brilliant exposition of the contradictions inherent in ancient chronology is the key that has unlocked the secrets of antiquity. In Ages in Chaos (1952), he proposed a complete reconstruction of later Egyptian history, beginning with the Exodus, which he believed to date from the fall of the "Middle Kingdom". It is largely under the inspiration of Ages in Chaos that the present work seeks to reconstruct the earlier part of Egyptian history. Velikovsky began with the Exodus; we end with the same event......
Djoser's reputation was enhanced by that of his vizier, the godlike Imhotep. This man was, as we shall see, regarded as Egypt's greatest ever seer and interpreter of dreams......Emmet Sweeney; Out of Place Artifacts.com
JOSEPH:
IMHOTEP:
1) Second in command under Pharaoh
1) Second in command under Pharaoh Djoser
2) Lived to be 110 years of age
3) Great architect and builder
4) Stored up corn during 7 yrs of plenty
5) Saw seven years of famine - fed people
6) Interpreter of dreams
7) Built pyramids & palaces
7) Built the Step Pyramid & palaces
8) Zaphnath-paaneah - Over physicians
8) Was a physician
9) Instituted a income tax of one fifth
10) Married into the Priesthood of On
11) Knowledge of astrology
12) Was one of twelve siblings
13) Became an educated man
13) A poet and educated medical writer
14) Overseer of public works
15) Legendary history
16) Name means to add, increase, to join or gather together
16) Name means the one who comes in peace
17) Coat of many breadths / colors / wide tunic
Biblical scholars find that dates according to Egyptologists and the Ezra bible do not match, and search to explain a gap of 1000 years:
Scholars were not slow to associate Djoser's famine of seven years with that of Joseph, and they would undoubtedly have made the connection between Imhotep and Joseph, Djoser and Joseph's pharaoh, had it not been for the chronological discrepancy. Djoser was supposed to have reigned [no later than] 2600 BC., whereas according to biblical chronology, Joseph would have lived around 1700 BC..... yet again, that gap of 1000 years"..... Emmet Sweeney; Out of Place Artifacts.com
The explanation is found for the missing millennia is found in Oahspe, since it reveals that the first De'yus bible (the first story of Genesis) was given in the time of the mortal, Thoth, at the beginning of De'yus' reign, which is around 2850 b.c.e. But Osiris revised the De'yus bible after he rebelled from De'yus around 900 years later. And so the Ezra Bible, which, according to Oahspe was compiled around 494 b.c.e. sourcing Egyptian records, contains the revised version of the first Dey'us bible. It also evidences the deletion of the generations and chronology from Abraham to the beginning of Osiris worship (Book of Wars: 25/48.6-12). The time between Abraham and Thoth (Joseph) has been drastically reduced in the Torah ~ Old Testament and the ancient tribes of Israel were reduced to the offspring of one man, Jacob only a few centuries before the time of Moses.
The tribes of Israel are much older than the Ezra Bible depicts them to be. According to Oahspe, they sprung from two ancient tribes "Zerl" and "Iz". The name Israelite originates from a combination of these two ancient tribes of I'hin Faithists, Iz of Par'si'e and Zerl of Ham. According to Oahspe (Book of Wars against Jehovih), there were various and continual migrations of Faithists to Egypt over long periods, usually as a result of famine and warfare in Western Arabin'ya (including Canaan). The names and numbers of the houses of Israel as originating from the twelve sons of Jacob does not agree with Oahspe's account:
Book of the Arc of Bon: 27/13.8-9; 27/18.30-31.
Levi, being of the fourth birth of I'hin blood, was not acknowledged an heir of the chosen race, the Faithists. Therefore Levi established a new line, which was called, the House of Levi.
Levi, not being eligible to a Faithist wife, was inspired by the loo'is to take an I'hin, Metissa, to wife. Metissa bore him a son, Kohath, who, at maturity, was admitted to the Order of Avah, the third degree of Faithists, at which time he was circumcised, and afterward called an Israelite, the name given to the Faithists of Egupt.....
.....They were the uncircumcised tribes of the ancients, the Hebrews nicknamed them Levites, i.e., imperfect flesh.
And Moses commanded the Levites to camp aside, and not to mix with the Israelites, and they obeyed him in all things, maintaining that they were the true descendants of Abraham.
The genealogy of Joseph (as the son of Jacob who became "Israel") and his twelve brothers as the sole and preposterously recent original ancestors of the Israelites in Egypt therefore cannot be taken literally. And how much Thoth's origins were according to the story of Joseph is not certain. No doubt some details in the Ezra Bible were likely embellishments to more closely connect the Egyptian account to the forefathers of the Israelites to authenticate it in the minds of the post-exodus apostate Israelites. It does, however, remain a possibility that Joseph come from the land of Canaan, for when Oahspe refers to Arabin'ya, it includes a large area of land which covers all or part of Africa and what is now the Middle East to Iran. Southern Arabin'ya, usually refers to the area of modern day Egypt and surrounding countries to a certain distance. In which case, Thoth may not have been born in the land which is now called Egypt. But Osiris (the false), would have ensured he was given a position close to the powerful South Arabin'yan (Egyptian) king to enable the proclamation and impression of Dey'us' new bible and his other decrees through his chosen seer / priest. It would not be surprising then, to find that Thoth alias Imhotep was of obscure birth and origins.
The importance of Joseph in the Genesis Story of the Ezra Bible, also may hint at the character of the writer. If Thoth alias Joseph alias Imhotep was the original scribe of this account, then his own role in history was auto-biographed. It is not beyond Joseph's personality (according to the Ezra bible account) to perceive himself as a figure worthy to be bowed down to, even as a god / king is bowed down to, as in the story of Joseph's prophetic dream of his brother's bowing down to him. However, it is also likely that these embellishments grew from the process of deification that Thoth's name and memory became subject to in the Egyptian Osirian culture and religion. Also, since Joseph alias Imhotep alias Thoth was a seer, he may well have had prophetic dreams from the time that he was chosen to be the mortal channel for the De'yus bible.
With Oahspe's historical accounts containing details previously unknown or lost to mortals, a greater understanding of the sources of the Ezra bible and its origins in historical contexts is possible. Time-line descrepancies between various sources which have stumped and misled scholars are resolved revealing a much fuller and longer history of the Faithists in relation to their historical counterparts than was previously known.

Haidet, colleagues to study how arts, humanities elevate medical education
Dr. Paul Haidet, a distinguished professor of medicine, humanities, and public health sciences, works with first year medical students during a recent critical thinking class. Haidet and colleagues from Penn State College of Medicine and other institutions will review how the arts and humanities are being used to train physicians.

HERSHEY, Pa. — Dr. Paul Haidet, distinguished professor of medicine, humanities and public health sciences at Penn State College of Medicine, will work with other experts to compile information on how the humanities and arts are used in the training of health care professionals. Haidet's work is part of a broader study by the Association of American Medical Colleges on how to integrate arts and humanities into medical education.
Penn State College of Medicine was the first medical school in the country to have a dedicated humanities department and is known for innovation in humanistic medicine.
"We have a required humanities thread that runs through all four years," Haidet said. "Students acknowledge that this is what will make you a better doctor. It turns a technician into a healer. Somewhere in the space between the fixer and healer is the humanities."
Haidet and three researchers from the University of Western Ontario and Mount Saint Vincent University will lead a team to assess the current role of arts and humanities in medical education. They hope to identify common themes, gaps in knowledge and suggest standards to be included in medical curriculum.
"Building an impactful curriculum is all about strategy," Haidet said. "There's an opportunity to push our thinking about the utility of arts and humanities in medical education."
Haidet teaches a course entitled "Jazz and the Art of Medicine." Throughout the course, fourth-year medical students learn to use jazz music as a metaphor for improvisational communication with patients. Students shared that their limited exposure to jazz and introduction to a new type of classroom instruction transformed their learning. Jazz music allowed the students to develop new and creative ways to communicate with patients.
"The hardest thing for doctors-in-training to grasp and learn is the ability to connect with the experience of patients," Haidet said. "The arts and humanities is all about connection. It's an entryway for people learning how to connect with others."
Analyzing the intersection of arts and medicine isn't new to Haidet. He and his colleagues published a review in 2016 that examined arts-based education and how it promoted learning in medical and other non-arts contexts. They learned that while studies had shown arts were good for promoting clinical skills and humanistic practice, medical schools lacked structure in their arts and humanities curriculum design.
Other contributors from Penn State College of Medicine include Nancy Adams, assistant dean for foundational sciences; Rebecca Volpe, assistant professor of humanities; Claire de Boer, director of Center Stage Arts in Health; and Esther Dell, associate librarian. The analysis by Haidet and colleagues will help the Association of American Medical Colleges develop guidelines for arts and humanities inclusion in medical curricula.

Q: Passing object to other activity I have question about sending object to other activity. Im not sure about this what im doing. So i have object Player in MainActivity
final Player player = new Player("Player", 150);

I have separate class for Player with simple constructor
public class Player {

private String playerName;
private double playerCash;

Player(String playerName, double playerCash)
{
    this.playerName = playerName;
    this.playerCash = playerCash;
}

And i have second Activity , where i want use Player object. I made a button in MainActivity with this code
 mButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.mButton);
    mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("player", player);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
    });

And now i got problem "Cannot resolve method putExtra". What am i doing wrong? I want only one Player object and want to use it in multiple activities but have no idea how. For any help, big thanks ;)

A: Everything that mentioned in the answers above, describe the solution very clearly.
Here is the code :
public class Player implements Parcelable{
private String playerName;
private double playerCash;

    // Constructor
    public Player(String playerName, double playerCash){
        this.playerName = playerName;
        this.playerCash = playerCash;
   }
   // Implement Getter and setter methods

   // Parcelling part
   public Player(Parcel in){
       this.playerName = in.readString();
       this.playerCash = in.readDouble();
   }

   @Оverride
   public int describeContents(){
       return 0;
   }

   @Override
   public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {
      dest.writeString(playerName);
      dest.writeDouble(playerCash);
   }
   public static final Parcelable.Creator CREATOR = new Parcelable.Creator() {
       public Player createFromParcel(Parcel in) {
           return new Player(in);
       }

       public Player[] newArray(int size) {
           return new Player[size];
       }
   };
}

A: Passing in custom objects is a little more complicated. You could just mark the class as Serializable and let Java take care of this.
However, on the android, there is a serious performance hit that comes with using Serializable. The solution is to use Parcelable. Follow this link for implementation details: http://shri.blog.kraya.co.uk/2010/04/26/android-parcel-data-to-pass-between-activities-using-parcelable-classes/

A: You can use parcelable for that, take a look at my post here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/35252575/982161
since you need to make some changes on the player class.

A: Make one Serializable  class
import java.io.Serializable;

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class MyPlayer implements Serializable {
private String playerName;
private double playerCash;
public MyPlayer(String playerName, double playerCash) {
    this.playerName = playerName;
    this.playerCash = playerCash;
}

public String getPlayerName() {

Which Type Of Flooring Is Best For Me?
As a homeowner, one of the most important decisions you will have to make is the type of flooring to install within the house. A strong foundation always begins from the ground up - and in this case, the floor up. From your wobbling but determined baby's first steps, coffee spills during a morning rush, to moving day damage, flooring is not only a big investment, but a very important commitment.
Similarly to your sense of style and the foods you like, selecting floors are no different. Many people will have very different preferences on what the best type of floors are. As a result, it is imperative that consumers always understand the difference between hardwood, laminate, carpet, and vinyl. The following are some of the general guidelines regarding flooring classifications.
Although hardwood floors are a more expensive flooring option, real estate properties with hardwood floors are generally valued at a premium price in today's housing market. Added benefits to hardwood floors are the easiness in cleaning, the durability, and their expected length of life (decades). If you know that your home will consistently be prone to a number of clutter, spillages, and or would like to invest in the property in order for the home to reach a higher market value in the future, hardwood flooring is an option worth carefully considering.
A very popular option similar to hardwood is laminate as it looks like wood. However, the distinct patterns and texture of laminate floors are more consistent in nature due to its wood imitation. In fact, laminate is a great affordable alternative for consumers who like hardwood floors. Moreover, laminate flooring is fairly easy to install and even easier to maintain.
Similar to laminate, vinyl flooring also provides a natural wood appearance. As vinyl is moisture resistant and its price point is affordable, vinyl flooring requires very little maintenance. We have all experienced noisy floors, and vinyl addresses this concern by providing a comfortable feel with a significant reduction in noise. For families with children and or domestic animals, vinyl flooring may be a viable option for you.
Carpet is widely regarded as one of the most popular alternatives to flooring. It's fabric provides a warm, comforting foundation with an added measure of safety by softening falls and or dropped objects. As many families child proof their homes, having a stronger preference towards carpet can also be in the best interest for concerned parents - especially for active children. Carpet comes in a large variety of textures, styles, and colours, but aside from its customizable options, carpet serves as a standard option for those who would prefer greater sound barriers and insulation. Additionally, carpet can be classified as luxurious due to its ability to alter the perception of size of the room, and can also help hide stains.
At Percy John Flooring, we offer a vast selection of flooring options. We know that flooring forms the foundation of all interior schemes, and with over thirty years of dedication to our craft and knowledgeable service within the flooring industry, our team will help you decipher the many choices and find the best suitable flooring for you. We ask you the right questions so that we can find the best solution for you.

Wes Ellis: Which theologian are you?
I don't know how acurate this quiz is but I thought it was interesting.
I scored as Jurgen Moltmann. The problem of evil is central to your thought, and only a crucified God can show that God is not indifferent to human suffering. Christian discipleship means identifying with suffering but also anticipating the new creation of all things that God will bring about.
I won't take the test Wes and this is why. Theology divides us all into different camps. I no longer need the approval or the affirmation of any man or any group following them. The only thing I need has been deposited in my heart by the Holy Spirit, through the revelation of the work of the cross.
It is the love and acceptance given freely by the Father totally independent of what I believe and IMHO that gift of love is the only thing that will inspire us to stop dividing into camps and recognize that we are all being gathered into His camp "in Christ" apart from our theology. Please take no offense my friend.
I take no offense. To me it's harmeless though. The problem is not that we have different theology, that is good, the problem is we don't know how to disagree. Our disagreement shouldn't divide us, we're not that smart. We're more like little kids just figuring out that mommy has a mommy too. We've not come up with something so profound that we should fight about it (not that I don't enjoy a healthy debate) instead we should celebrate all tha we have in common. I don't care if you take the test or not, I don't care if you're Martin Luther or a John Calvin (and I know that no dumb internet test could ever define you) you're still my brother, we still share in something so much bigger than our petty disagreements.
So don't feel like you need to take the test, it's silly anyway. But don't feel afraid to say you have favorites or that you disagree. I'll always be a N.T. Wright fan and not a fan of John McArthur's theology but that shouldn't hurt. If you love John McArthur that's ok we should still be able to get along... we should never be divided by such small matters.
Sorry about that rant, thanks for your thoughts.
You're right Wes. I apologize for being such a stick-in-the-mud. I just hate the divisions in humanity that religious doctrine causes.
It's nice to have bros like you who are so civil even if we don't always agree. Thanks for reminding me that it is perfectly ok to just be silly.

Ohio Supreme Court ruling could mean the end of Lake Erie's Icebreaker wind farm project
April 7, 2022 · by andreasmarciniak · Bookmark the permalink. ·
By Jeff St. Clair,
WKSU
Slowed by lawsuits, regulatory roadblocks, and an unfriendly legislature, offshore wind turbines in Lake Erie remain an elusive dream more than a decade after the Icebreaker wind farm was proposed.
The Ohio Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision soon on whether the proposed Icebreaker wind farm in Lake Erie can go forward.
The project is being challenged by two lakeshore residents who believe the giant blades pose too great a risk to migrating birds.
Back in 2011 WKSU joined a crew of engineers heading out onto Lake Erie with a dream.
We docked at the century-old water intake crib five miles offshore to check the array of wind gauges.
Blowing across fifty miles of lake, the unobstructed breeze from the north was what Icebreaker's planners called 'clean wind', an untapped energy resource.
LEEDCo, the Lake Erie Energy Development Corp., had hoped the six-turbine pilot project would be the first offshore wind farm in American waters.
Now, bogged down by lawsuits, slowed by regulators, and starved for state support Icebreaker is nearly sunk.
LEEDCo last year lost its last full-time employee, prompting board member and Port of Cleveland CEO Will Friedman to step up to keep the project afloat.
"It's still alive," he said, "still working on the same objective, which is to bring Icebreaker to fruition."
But Friedman says the headwinds are formidable.
"There's just not much appetite for renewable projects in Ohio."
Ohio's unfriendly renewable skies
A decade ago, with its manufacturing might and renewable energy incentives, Ohio was poised to be a leader in wind development.
That has changed.
GOP lawmakers have since passed prohibitive restrictions on land-based wind farms, removed the renewable mandates, and given leaders at the county level the power to veto renewable projects.
That's on top of the $60 million corruption scandal in the statehouse which includes former chief regulator, Sam Randazzo, who's under investigation for receiving millions in bribes from a coal and nuclear utility.
Surprisingly, all of this isn't what's brought Icebreaker to a standstill.
It's two ordinary citizens who love the lake.
The risk to birds and bats
"I'm a lifelong Clevelander, grew up in Euclid, lived in Cleveland Heights and have lived in Bratenahl now for 25 years," said Susan Dempsey, one of two plaintiffs challenging Icebreaker.
Dempsey and Bratenahl neighbor Robert Maloney successfully challenged Icebreaker all the way to the Supreme Court arguing that the state erred in granting permits to build the turbines without fully documenting how they might impact migrating birds and bats.
"Our position is that we should be doing whatever we can to protect those waters and the diverse environmental ecosystem that makes up the Great Lakes."
Dempsey is upfront that early in their fight an Ohio coal baron picked up the legal tab.
"We were actually fortunate to have received assistance, but we received absolutely no direction from Murray Energy or Robert Murray," she said.
Robert Murray died in 2020, and Dempsey says they've had no further assistance.
In fact, she supports curbing fossil fuels, but she added, "I believe that we will find a better way to do this than industrializing Lake Erie."
Delay is a partial win
Attorney Jon Secrest who defended Icebreaker in December's hearing before the high court disputes her claim the turbines will harm birds.
Icebreaker's attorney Jonathan Secrest argued that safeguards to limit collisions with migratory birds and bats are part of the project's permit.
He says wildlife experts, environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, and state agencies all believe the impact will be minimal.
But when it comes to opposing renewables in Ohio, its easy to get your day in court.
"It's a very liberal standard that allows pretty much anyone affected by the project or potentially affected to intervene in the action," said Secrest.
That's in stark contrast to Ohio law which prevents citizens, local governments or groups from mounting any legal challenges to fracking, or other oil and gas development.
Click to access 04-hb278-125.pdf
Secrest says regardless of the high court's ruling, the Bratenahl pair's five year legal battle achieved it's goal.
"Delay is a partial win for them," said Secrest.
New York's wind may win
The delays have put a deep freeze on Icebreaker.
The Port Authority's Will Friedman says he is working to keep Norwegian partner Fred. Olsen Renewables engaged eight years after they signed-on to build and operate the turbines.
"They still have an interest," he said, "so they're still there."
He's also gotten an extension from the U.S. Department of Energy to use the remaining $37 million in grant funding towards the $175 million price tag.
Friedman says the irony is that even if Icebreaker is never built, the Great Lakes will likely see wind turbines.
He says New York this summer will start leasing submerged land in Lake Erie to wind developers with the full weight of that state's support behind them.

Galmegi Brewing brings spirit of Busan to beer
The craft beer scene in Korea has grown exponentially in the last several years. Where once the country was limited to large companies, smaller businesses with their own visions of what beer should be have entered the fold. Busan's own Galmegi Brewing, headed by CEO Steven Allsopp, has introduced a generation of Busanites to craft beer.
△ Galmegi head brewer Ryan Blocker (left) and CEO Steven Allsopp (right).
Q. Could you introduce yourself?
A. My name is Steven Allsopp. I am from Scotland, and I am obsessed with beer! As a graduate of finance at the height of the financial crisis, there wasn't much in the way of jobs back home, so I decided to take a year to live, work and travel overseas. I had fond memories of Europe and its beaches, and I decided that beach accessibility would be high on my list of criteria when choosing where to live. This eventually brought me to Busan, and after 10 years, it has become home.
Q. How did you start brewing and what's behind the "Galmegi" name?
A. Brewing for me initially started as a hobby. Prior to my relocation to Korea, I was surrounded by an ample variety of different styles of beers from different countries. When I arrived here, my choice was limited effectively to two, both of which tasted the same and didn't offer me much in the way of flavor.
Growing up, I knew of a great-great-great grandfather who started a brewery in the early 19th century and shipped his creation (the original IPA) all over the world. I decided to start making my own beer at home with my friend Ryan and a 40,000-won collection of plastic buckets and pots, alongside 40 empty glass bottles acquired by begging local bar owners for their recycled bottles. This started the obsession I have had with beer and its production ever since. Every weekend, me and Ryan would disappear into our ever-growing brewing setup and emerge after six hours with our latest batch. The feedback and offers to buy our product led us to believe that there was a business here. The name came naturally, as the seagull is the symbol of the city which had adopted us all and became our home.
Q. Why is Busan special to you?
A. Busan has been good to me. I consider it the city in which I became an adult. It is the city where I first gained professional employment. It is where I met my wife. It is the city which, as a 23-year-old with nothing more than 50,000 won and a suitcase full of clothes, has provided an excellent quality of life and provided a wealth of opportunity. I love the food and I love the culture!
The people of Busan have always welcomed me warmly. From my employers over the years, the students I taught and the friends I made, to my wife's family members who have treated me like one of their own since we first met. Whilst the color of my skin may not be typical for someone from this city, I consider myself a Busanite.
Q. How did you get involved with Gupo Mildang and Gupo Manse 329?
A. Buk-gu (district) wanted to create their own brand of beers that would eventually revitalize the area with modern options for drinking and dining. When Buk-gu initially approached us with the idea, we jumped at the opportunity, as it ties in so strongly with who we are and what we have always aimed to achieve as a company.
Q. What are your future plans?
A. Due to the current restrictions on our capacity and our belief that beer should be refrigerated for freshness at all times, we are only able to make our product available in venues capable of storing and dispensing it in a specific way.
I am confident that more and more bars and restaurants will see the benefits of installing such a system, but the best way for us to reach more people will be to package our beer in cans and bottles to be sold in convenience stores (or supermarkets willing to refrigerate) so that more people will be able to access and enjoy what we have to offer.

Liberia senate race: Landslide win for George Weah
Mr Weah comfortably beat off a challenge from Robert Sirleaf, the son of President Sirleaf[/caption]
The former football star George Weah has won a landslide victory in Liberia's senate elections, in polls disrupted by the Ebola outbreak.
Mr Weah got 78% of the vote for the Montserrado county seat, which includes the capital Monrovia. He beat Robert Sirleaf, the son of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who took nearly 11%. Low turnout in the poll, which was first planned for October, was blamed on concerns about Ebola. Strict health controls were in place to try to prevent the spread of the disease. Those who came to polling stations had their temperature taken, were told to stand a metre (3ft) apart and wash their hands before and after voting. Liberia has been one of the countries worst affected by Ebola, with almost 3,400 deaths, the UN says. [caption id="attachment_15037" align="alignright" width="150"] Health workers took the temperatures of voters as a precaution against Ebola[/caption] Other winners in the senate elections include Jewel Howard-Taylor, the ex-wife of the jailed former president Charles Taylor, and the former rebel leader Prince Johnson. Both retained their seats. The National Elections Commission chairman, Jerome Korkoya, called the conclusion of the vote "the end of a crucial journey". Mr Weah won the first round of the 2005 presidential election, losing the runoff to Ms Johnson-Sirleaf. He is the only African to be named Fifa's world player of the year, winning in 1995. *Source BBC]]>
