Three Stone Hearth & The Eleven Characteristics of Traditional Diets
Nutrient density: Traditional diets contain at least four times the calcium and other minerals and TEN times the fat soluble vitamins from animal fats (vitamin A, D and K) as the average American diet.
No refined or denatured foods such as refined sugar or corn syrup; white flour; overly processed canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or low-fat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; artificial vitamins or toxic additives and colorings.
Not low fat! Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30% to 80% but only about 4% of calories come from polyunsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, pulses, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.
Some sort of animal protein and fat: from fish and other seafood; water and land fowl; land animals; eggs; milk and dairy products; reptiles; and insects.
Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened in order to neutralize naturally occuring antinutrients in these foods, such as phytic acid, enzyme inhibitors, tannins and complex carbohydrates.
High food-enzyme content from raw dairy products; raw meat and fish; raw honey; tropical fruits; cold-pressed oils; wine and unpasteurized beer; and naturally preserved, lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, meats and condiments.
Nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids.
Consumption of animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin-rich bone broths.
Some salt.
Some animal products are eaten raw.
Make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient-rich foods for parents-to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by proper spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.
--created by Sally Fallon Morell, based on the findings of Dr. Weston A. Price
The Weston Price Story
Dr. Weston A. Price (1870-1948), a dentist from Cleveland, Ohio, has been called the "Isaac Newton of Nutrition."
Seeking to understand the causes of dental decay and physical degeneration he observed in his practice, particularly in the children and grandchildren of his original patients, he turned from laboratory research to the unrecognized, under-appreciated -- and rapidly disappearing -- evidence still to be found among living human populations. In his search for the causes of ill health in the world around him, he discovered the source of vital health among the people who still possessed it -- traditional societies uncorrupted by modern agriculture and food processing.
Before World War II, there were still many of these small thriving groups around the world. Price traveled extensively in the 1920s and '30s, gathering evidence wherever he went. His findings led him to the belief that dental decay and deformed dental arches, which he witnessed throughout the industrialized world, were signs of broader degeneration caused by nutritional deficiencies. While dental health was his gateway, his research led to fundamental insights about nutrition and health in the modern world.
Dr. Price traveled to snow-bound villages in the Swiss Alps, Polynesian South Sea islands, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, to the Inuit of North America, East African tribal groups, Australian Aboriginals, New Zealand Maori and the native people of North and South America. Wherever he went, Price found that beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, resistance to disease, ease of childbirth and even admirable personal characters were typical of indigenous peoples on their traditional diets. These stalwart people stood in sharp contrast to those subsisting on the impoverished, convenient and superficially satisfying foods of "civilization" -- white flour, pasteurized milk, cheap vegetable oils, sugars and increasingly processed foods (or "food products") filled with extenders and additives.
Price presented his discoveries and conclusions in the classic volume, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. The book contains striking photos of healthy indigenous people, and illustrates in an unforgettable way the degeneration that occurs -- and often occurs quite quickly -- when human groups abandon nourishing traditional diets in favor of modern convenience foods. One of his classic revelations is a comparison of two brothers, one who stayed in his village and ate the same foods his people had for generations, and the other who went off to the city in search of opportunity. Guess which one remained healthy and vibrant, and which appeared weakened and damaged...
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration is a compendium of traditional dietary practices from societies that were disappearing in the rush of colonialism, modernity, industrial agriculture, and food processing. Existing in wildly different environments -- from desert to tundra, from rainforests to the great plains -- these societies learned over centuries and millennia to sustain themselselves, thrive and heal, by making the most of the particular resources locally at hand. This dietary wisdom often went against the (mono-cropped, synthetically fertilized, denatured) grain of the modern food industrial complex of the 20th Century.
In 1999, however, Price's neglected work was revived in the landmark book, Nourishing Traditions, by Sally Fallon Morell and Mary Enig, which launched a movement and galvanized the community that gave birth to Three Stone Hearth. The five co-founders of TSH came together in connection with the Weston A. Price Foundation, founded in San Francisco by Sally and medical doctor and author Thomas Cowan. Three Stone Hearth co-founder Jessica Prentice began a series of monthly "Full Moon Feasts" centered around the seasonal associations of the New Moon with certain foods in traditional cultures -- also the theme of her book by the same name, published in 2006, the same year TSH first opened. There is also a blog called The Nourishing Cook, which documents the preparation of all 773 recipes in Nourishing Traditions. In 2014, Sally Fallon Morell published Nourishing Broth, focussing on one of the most fundamental healing foods Price discovered in traditional cultures around the world -- slow-cooked bone broths from pasture-raised animals. She has also published Nourishing Diets: How Paleo, Ancestral and Traditional People Really Ate; The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care; The Nourishing Traditions Cookbook for Children, and Nourishing Fats, among others.
In the years since Three Stone Hearth was founded, many writers, chefs, food activists and entrepreneurs have found their way to an appreciation of real, whole foods and indigenous food traditions as a basis for health, sustainability, community and social justice, from the Slow Food movement begun in Italy to the two indigenous restaurants just opening in the East Bay -- Wahpepah's Kitchen in Oakland, and the return of Cafe Ohlone on the UCB Campus coming this summer. One of the most galvanizing voices in this movement has been Berkeley author Michael Pollan. His journey began with an open question about humanity's desire to both control and surrender to the power of plants, in The Botany of Desire, and culminated in a manifesto that extolled the unique virtues of Traditional Diets. That manifesto, In Defense of Food, discusses only one specific dietary approach, and at some length --and that is the Weston A. Price/Nourishing Traditions approach. Whatever value can be found in other dietary approaches, they all, at least in part, succumb to what Pollan calls out as "nutritionism" -- breaking foods down to individual nutritional components and removing them from the larger, holistic contexts and complex relationships of whole foods, environments, human bodies and societies. Traditional Diets, by their nature, precede that scientific reductionism, and that separation of nutrition from food, of food from the environment and the social life that sustains a community -- whether they live on blood and blubber, fish and fruit, or rye bread and butter.
Weston Price was a passionate scientist, and in his attempts to bridge the modern with the traditional, he saw connections between health, food and the environment that we are just starting to recognize and prioritize again. In his words:
"We can now visualize our universe, its light, gravity and heat, its seasons, tides, and harvest, which prepare a habitation for the universe of vital forms, microscopic and majestic, which fill the oceans and the forests. We have a common denominator for universes within and around each other. Our world, our food and our life have potentials so vast that we can only observe directions, not goals. We sense human achievements or ignominious self-destruction. Every creed today vaguely seeks a utopia... Yes, man's place is most exalted when he obeys Mother Nature's laws."

Danish jihadist killed while fighting for Muhajireen Brigade in Syria
By Bill Roggio | May 7, 2013 | [email protected] | @billroggio
The Muhajireen Brigade, a unit made up of foreign jihadists who fight in Syria, has announced that a fighter from Denmark was killed while battling the Syrian government in early March. More than 500 Europeans are thought to be fighting with the rebels in Syria.
In a video released on jihadist forums yesterday, the Muhajireen Brigade (Emigrants Brigade), which is allied with the Al Nusrah Front, al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, announced the death of Danish citizen Kenneth Sørensen. The video was obtained and translated by the SITE Intelligence group.
Sørensen, who was also known as Abu 'Aisha al Dinmarki and Abdul Malik al Dinmarki, was killed on March 3. He had "an appointment with martyrdom to attain what he wished for in the countryside of Latakia, in a fierce battle between the heroes of Islam and the soldiers of the regime," the video said, according to SITE.
"Our brother Abu 'Aisha stood bravely and charged head on and didn't run away, until he passed," the video continued.
The Muhajireen Brigade recounted that Sørensen had traveled to Yemen, Lebanon. Egypt, and Libya before deciding to join the group. He was reportedly "detained in Yemen and Lebanon, because he frequented mosques and religious scholars." Sørensen had claimed he was tortured while in custody, and the Muhajireen Brigade said that a Danish television channel did a story on his detentions.
While in Yemen, Sørensen attended the radical Imam University in Sana'a, which is run by Abdulmajid al Zindani, who is on the US's list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists for his ties to Osama bin Laden. The US Treasury Department has described Zindani as a "bin Laden loyalist" who has provided crucial support to al Qaeda. Anwar al Awlaki, the American who served as a key leader in al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also lectured at Imam University.
According to Morten Storm, who claims to have served as a double agent for Denmark's intelligence service and to have helped the US kill Anwar al Awlaki in a drone strike in 2011, Sørensen was not given access to Awlaki as he "was considered too boisterous and problematic by the Islamists," The Copenhagen Post reported last November. Storm and another Dane, known as Allen H., are said to have met with Awlaki.
Sørensen lived in Egypt for three years, then moved with his family to Libya as its civil war raged. Once Syria's civil war broke out, Sørensen "left his wife and four children in Libya and deployed to the Levant and joined the ranks of the Muhajireen Brigade and rose to fight the apostate Nusayri [Alawite] gangs."
Sørensen is one of hundreds of Europeans believed to be fighting in Syria. According to SAPO, Sweden's intelligence service, over 500 Europeans are thought be battling against the Syrian government; many are thought to be fighting for the Muhajireen Brigade and the Al Nusrah Front.
The Muhajireen Brigade is commanded by Omar al Chechen, a jihadist from Russia's Caucasus region. The group is known to fight alongside the Nusrah Front and has participated in overrunning several Syrian military bases.
At the end of March, Omar al Chechen announced that the Muhajireen Brigade had merged with several Syrian jihadist groups and formed the Muhajireen Army. The group has "more than 1,000 Mujahideen, Muslim volunteers from different countries, including the Caucasus Emirate," stated Kavkaz Center, a propaganda arm of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Caucasus Emirate.

with some luck & the right kind of aid this Civil War in Syria could possibly be kept in motion for quite a few more years. Bad Guys vs Bad Guys is a scenario most difficult to come by. I wonder how long before Iraq finds itself at that Critical Mass threshold & those opposing Assad & Maliki begin subjecting Iran to armed violence. It would also be helpful if Turkey & Jordan began parsing parts of their borders designed to create defensible 'zones' for Syrian refugees with a security caveat that keeps the extremist elements such al Nusrah at 'arms-length.'
sundoesntrise says:
I find it quite ironic that those who favor Assad, or don't favor Assad but are opposed to intervention, use guys like this to point out how bad the Syrian rebels are, yet at the same time they completely ignore the foreign fighters from Iran, Hezbollah, Iraq, Lebanon, and the PFLP-GC that are fighting on the side of the Assad regime. It's almost like they are a non issue; you know, THOSE foreign fighters are OK, but the ones fighting on the other side are "terrorists".
Syria is in a bad place. Syrians are being slaughtered like animals by a dictator propped up by foreign fighters, as well as Russian and China vetoing ANY U.N. resolution….. even disallowing U.N. inspectors to go to Syrian refugee camps to talk to civilians!
The Syrians that rose up and asked for more freedoms and reform in 2011 are gone. They are either dead, in another country, or are fighting for their lives. Foreign Salafist Jihadists on the rebel side have filled the gaping void that the world left by not helping Syrians.
And just like Syrians are helpless, being tortured in secret dungeons, bombed, massacred, shot at by regime thugs, we, too, the outside world, are completely helpless too as the outside powers won't do anything because there is no "real interest"(read: resources, money, influence) they can gain by intervening. And so foreign entities, *that already HAVE intervened* on the regime's side, are basically playing this game of killing as many Syrian civilians as possible so they can retain their power and geopolitical influence.
All the people that used to say that we live in a new era of humanity, or a "brave new world" as the marketing scheme went, must have been smoking something fierce.
Birbal Dhar says:
He married a Faroese woman, who converted to islam and was also linked to Danish friends who were involved in a terrorist plot in Bosnia
All Free People says:
Good riddance to a terrorist. Rot in hell you human filth.
Not a lot of love lost for Syrians. The same Syrians who allowed thousands of Jihadis to come to Syria so they could cross into Iraq and kill US forces. The same Syrians who allow Iran to run arms through their country to Hezbollah. The same Syrians who allow Lebanon to be used to fight their proxy wars against Israel and murder anyone who stands in their way. Those Syrians? Or the ones fighting the regime so they can institute somehting much worse. Violent, oppressive Sharia law and the Salafi version of radical Islam. Both sides are evil. The devil you know or the devil you don't know.
Mr T,
That is what is so ironic about pro Assad supporters whining about "terrorists" and 'foreign fighters". Look who's talking!
Another reason why Assad has no justifiable reason to complain about terrorism, is that his actions have radicalized the Sunni communities in the region, as well as enticed foreign Jihadists to come to Syria and fight. His bloodthirsty, tyrannical vice grip on power, which he will hang onto at all costs, is the reason why the conflict, day in day out, keeps getting more horrific, and more fundamentalist in it's tone. Protesters that demanded reforms and more liberties were replied to with gunfire, airstrikes, snipers, artillery, and being thrown in torture dungeons.
I'm not saying the opposition are free from war crimes and corruption. No way. And I sincerely believe that, like Libya, there WERE extremists there from the beginning. But killing people that want reforms and more liberties just so you can hang onto power never ends well.
Kolo says:
How many of these European jihadis in Syria have no Arab or Islamic heritage? I think this guy was exceptional because he did not. Most of them are second generation immigrants from the Middle East.


The decline in per-student funding within the Cal State University system has coincided with campus student bodies becoming more diverse, thus making it more difficult for young people of color to obtain a degree, faculty members said in a new report.
The California Faculty Association report, released Thursday, does not accuse policymakers of racism in their funding decisions. Instead, the report argues that the years of increased diversity within the Long Beach-based CSU coincided with a time of growing skepticism over the value of government services.
All the same, faculty contended nonwhite students have been dealt a poor hand.
"Today's students, the majority being students of color, are paying more for their education than their counterparts, the majority who were white, did so just a few decades ago," said Cecil Canton, associate vice president of affirmative action for the California Faculty Association.
Responding to the faculty's report, CSU spokeswoman Toni Molle defended the university's performance while affirming that CSU leaders want additional dollars.
The faculty union released its report three days after Gov. Jerry Brown went public with the initial version of his budget proposal for the fiscal year beginning July 1. In his message to legislators, the governor warned of a projected $2 billion deficit and relayed his plan to cancel some planned spending increases.
Brown's budget proposal calls for increasing the CSU's funding by nearly $158 million, but that amount would not match CSU Trustee's full budget request. In November, trustees adopted a $5.8 billion budget, calling for nearly $344 million in new funding from the state and a net increase in tuition revenues, the latter being predicated on enrollment growth.
Trustees asked for that funding level in order to pay for salary increases, enrollment growth and a recently-improved strategy intended to increase graduation rates.
CSU Trustees agreed to raise faculty salaries when approving a three-year contract last May, averting a planned five-day faculty walkout.
The governor's initial proposal covers existing pay commitments and some other mandatory costs, but would leave CSU nearly $187 million short of what administrators say they would need to meet all of their new goals.
The governor's revised budget proposal is scheduled to be released in May. The Legislature then has through June to debate a final spending plan for all of state government.
The new faculty report, "Equity Interrupted: How California is Cheating its Future," compares the CSU of 2015 to what existed in 1985.
Back in 1985, 63 percent of CSU students identified as white, whereas only 26 percent of CSU students did so in 2015. Nearly 38 percent of the CSU's 2015 students identified as Latino.
• In 1985, the CSU received an inflation-adjusted $11,607 per student. By 2015, per student funding had declined to $6,888.
• CSU denied admission to more than 14,000 qualified applicants for the 2013-14 school year.
• A student earning minimum wage would have needed to work 199 hours to pay for tuition and fees in 1985. In 2015, such a student would have needed to spend 682 hours at work.
The report's authors also called attention to tuition increases outpacing inflation. In 1985, tuition and fees added to $666. Keeping pace with inflation would have brought that number to $1,519, but basic CSU tuition – not including campus fees – is now $5,472 for a resident undergraduate.
Tuition rates have held steady for more than five years, but CSU Trustees may decide to enact a tuition increase as early as March. Proposed tuition hikes could add $270 to what resident undergrads pay for a year of classes.
CSU leaders have said financial aid increases will help many students absorb the costs of a tuition increase, but California Faculty Association president Jennifer Eagan said some students will have to spend more time working to pay higher tuitions.
"We need our students to be all-in, and if they're burdened by ever-increasing fees, they can't be," she said.

Bible > Genesis > Chapter 12 > Verse 5
◄ Genesis 12:5 ►
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
And he took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all the substance which they had gathered, and the souls which they had gotten in Haran: and they went out to go into the land of Chanaan. And when they were come into it,
English Revised Version
Webster's Bible Translation
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went to go forth into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Genesis 12:5 Parallel
Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament
The genealogical data in Genesis 11:27-32 prepare the way for the history of the patriarchs. The heading, "These are the generations of Terah," belongs not merely to Genesis 11:27-32, but to the whole of the following account of Abram, since it corresponds to "the generations" of Ishmael and of Isaac in Genesis 25:12 and Genesis 25:19. Of the three sons of Terah, who are mentioned again in Genesis 11:27 to complete the plan of the different Toledoth, such genealogical notices are given as are of importance to the history of Abram and his family. According to the regular plan of Genesis, the fact that Haran the youngest son of Terah begat Lot, is mentioned first of all, because the latter went with Abram to Canaan; and then the fact that he died before his father Terah, because the link which would have connected Lot with his native land was broken in consequence. "Before his father," פּני על lit., upon the face of his father, so that he saw and survived his death. Ur of the Chaldees is to be sought either in the "Ur nomine persicum castellum" of Ammian (25, 8), between Hatra and Nisibis, near Arrapachitis, or in Orhoi, Armenian Urrhai, the old name for Edessa, the modern Urfa. - Genesis 11:29. Abram and Nahor took wives from their kindred. Abram married Sarai, his half-sister (Genesis 20:12), of whom it is already related, in anticipation of what follows, that she was barren. Nahor married Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran, who bore to him Bethuel, the father of Rebekah (Genesis 22:22-23). The reason why Iscah is mentioned is doubtful. For the rabbinical notion, that Iscah is another name for Sarai, is irreconcilable with Genesis 20:12, where Abram calls Sarai his sister, daughter of his father, though not of his mother; on the other hand, the circumstance that Sarai is introduced in Genesis 11:31 merely as the daughter-in-law of Terah, may be explained on the ground that she left Ur, not as his daughter, but as the wife of his son Abram. A better hypothesis is that of Ewald, that Iscah is mentioned because she was the wife of Lot; but this is pure conjecture. According to Genesis 11:31, Terah already prepared to leave Ur of the Chaldees with Abram and Lot, and to remove to Canaan. In the phrase "they went forth with them," the subject cannot be the unmentioned members of the family, such as Nahor and his children; though Nahor must also have gone to Haran, since it is called in Genesis 24:10 the city of Nahor. For if he accompanied them at this time, there is no perceptible reason why he should not have been mentioned along with the rest. The nominative to the verb must be Lot and Sarai, who went with Terah and Abram; so that although Terah is placed at the head, Abram must have taken an active part in the removal, or the resolution to remove. This does not, however, necessitate the conclusion, that he had already been called by God in Ur. Nor does Genesis 15:7 require any such assumption. For it is not stated there that God called Abram in Ur, but only that He brought him out. But the simple fact of removing from Ur might also be called a leading out, as a work of divine superintendence and guidance, without a special call from God. It was in Haran that Abram first received the divine call to go to Canaan (Genesis 12:1-4), when he left not only his country and kindred, but also his father's house. Terah did not carry out his intention to proceed to Canaan, but remained in Haran, in his native country Mesopotamia, probably because he found there what he was going to look for in the land of Canaan. Haran, more properly Charan, חרן, is a place in north-western Mesopotamia, the ruins of which may still be seen, a full day's journey to the south of Edessa (Gr. Κάῤῥαι, Lat. Carrae), where Crassus fell when defeated by the Parthians. It was a leading settlement of the Ssabians, who had a temple there dedicated to the moon, which they traced back to Abraham. There Terah died at the age of 205, or sixty years after the departure of Abram for Canaan; for, according to Genesis 11:26, Terah was seventy years old when Abram was born, and Abram was seventy-five years old when he arrived in Canaan. When Stephen, therefore, placed the removal of Abram from Haran to Canaan after the death of his father, he merely inferred this from the fact, that the call of Abram (Genesis 12) was not mentioned till after the death of Terah had been noticed, taking the order of the narrative as the order of events; whereas, according to the plan of Genesis, the death of Terah is introduced here, because Abram never met with his father again after leaving Haran, and there was consequently nothing more to be related concerning him.
Character of the Patriarchal History
The dispersion of the descendants of the sons of Noah, who had now grown into numerous families, was necessarily followed on the one hand by the rise of a variety of nations, differing in language, manners, and customs, and more and more estranged from one another; and on the other by the expansion of the germs of idolatry, contained in the different attitudes of these nations towards God, into the polytheistic religions of heathenism, in which the glory of the immortal God was changed into an image made like to mortal man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things (Romans 1:23 cf. Wis. 13-15). If God therefore would fulfil His promise, no more to smite the earth with the curse of the destruction of every living thing because of the sin of man (Genesis 8:21-22), and yet would prevent the moral corruption which worketh death from sweeping all before it; it was necessary that by the side of these self-formed nations He should form a nation for Himself, to be the recipient and preserver of His salvation, and that in opposition to the rising kingdoms of the world He should establish a kingdom for the living, saving fellowship of man with Himself. The foundation for this was laid by God in the call and separation of Abram from his people and his country, to make him, by special guidance, the father of a nation from which the salvation of the world should come. With the choice of Abram and revelation of God to man assumed a select character, inasmuch as God manifested Himself henceforth to Abram and his posterity alone as the author of salvation and the guide to true life; whilst other nations were left to follow their own course according to the powers conferred upon them, in order that they might learn that in their way, and without fellowship with the living God, it was impossible to find peace to the soul, and the true blessedness of life (cf. Acts 17:27). But this exclusiveness contained from the very first the germ of universalism. Abram was called, that through him all the families of the earth might be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3). Hence the new form which the divine guidance of the human race assumed in the call of Abram was connected with the general development of the world, - in the one hand, by the fact that Abram belonged to the family of Shem, which Jehovah had blessed, and on the other, by his not being called alone, but as a married man with his wife. But whilst, regarded in this light, the continuity of the divine revelation was guaranteed, as well as the plan of human development established in the creation itself, the call of Abram introduced so far the commencement of a new period, that to carry out the designs of God their very foundations required to be renewed. Although, for example, the knowledge and worship of the true God had been preserved in the families of Shem in a purer form than among the remaining descendants of Noah, even in the house of Terah and worship of God was corrupted by idolatry (Joshua 24:2-3); and although Abram was to become the father of the nation which God was about to form, yet his wife was barren, and therefore, in the way of nature, a new family could not be expected to spring from him.
As a perfectly new beginning, therefore, the patriarchal history assumed the form of a family history, in which the grace of God prepared the ground for the coming Israel. For the nation was to grow out of the family, and in the lives of the patriarchs its character was to be determined and its development foreshadowed. The early history consists of three stages, which are indicated by the three patriarchs, peculiarly so called, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and in the sons of Jacob the unity of the chosen family was expanded into the twelve immediate fathers of the nation. In the triple number of the patriarchs, the divine election of the nation on the one hand, and the entire formation of the character and guidance of the life of Israel on the other, were to attain to their fullest typical manifestation. These two were the pivots, upon which all the divine revelations made to the patriarchs, and all the guidance they received, were made to turn. The revelations consisted almost exclusively of promises; and so far as these promises were fulfilled in the lives of the patriarchs, the fulfilments themselves were predictions and pledges of the ultimate and complete fulfilment, reserved for a distant, or for the most remote futurity. And the guidance vouchsafed had for its object the calling forth of faith in response to the promise, which should maintain itself amidst all the changes of this earthly life. "A faith, which laid hold of the word of promise, and on the strength of that word gave up the visible and present for the invisible and future, was the fundamental characteristic of the patriarchs" (Delitzsch). This faith Abram manifested and sustained by great sacrifices, by enduring patience, and by self-denying by great sacrifices, by enduring patience, and by self-denying obedience of such a kind, that he thereby became the father of believers (πατὴρ πάντων τῶν πιστευόντων, Romans 4:11). Isaac also was strong in patience and hope; and Jacob wrestled in faith amidst painful circumstances of various kinds, until he had secured the blessing of the promise. "Abraham was a man of faith that works; Isaac, of faith that endures; Jacob, of faith that wrestles" (Baumgarten). - Thus, walking in faith, the patriarchs were types of faith for all the families that should spring from them, and be blessed through them, and ancestors of a nation which God had resolved to form according to the election of His grace. For the election of God was not restricted to the separation of Abram from the family of Shem, to be the father of the nation which was destined to be the vehicle of salvation; it was also manifest in the exclusion of Ishmael, whom Abram had begotten by the will of man, through Hagar the handmaid of his wife, for the purpose of securing the promised seed, and in the new life imparted to the womb of the barren Sarai, and her consequent conception and birth of Isaac, the son of promise. And lastly, it appeared still more manifestly in the twin sons born by Rebekah to Isaac, of whom the first-born, Esau, was rejected, and the younger, Jacob, chosen to be the heir of the promise; and this choice, which was announced before their birth, was maintained in spite of Isaac's plans, or that Jacob, and not Esau, received the blessing of the promise. - All this occurred as a type for the future, that Israel might know and lay to heart the fact, that bodily descent from Abraham did not make a man a child of God, but that they alone were children of God who laid hold of the divine promise in faith, and walked in the steps of their forefather's faith (cf. Romans 9:6-13).
If we fix our eyes upon the method of the divine revelation, we find a new beginning in this respect, that as soon as Abram is called, we read of the appearing of God. It is true that from the very beginning God had manifested Himself visibly to men; but in the olden time we read nothing of appearances, because before the flood God had not withdrawn His presence from the earth. Even to Noah He revealed Himself before the flood as one who was present on the earth. But when He had established a covenant with him after the flood, and thereby had assured the continuance of the earth and of the human race, the direct manifestations ceased, for God withdrew His visible presence from the world; so that it was from heaven that the judgment fell upon the tower of Babel, and even the call to Abram in his home in Haran was issued through His word, that is to say, no doubt, through an inward monition. But as soon as Abram had gone to Canaan, in obedience to the call of God, Jehovah appeared to him there (Genesis 12:7). These appearances, which were constantly repeated from that time forward, must have taken place from heaven; for we read that Jehovah, after speaking with Abram and the other patriarchs, "went away" (Genesis 18:33), or "went up" (Genesis 17:22; Genesis 35:13); and the patriarchs saw them, sometimes while in a waking condition, in a form discernible to the bodily senses, sometimes in visions, in a state of mental ecstasy, and at other times in the form of a dream (Genesis 28:12.). On the form in which God appeared, in most instances, nothing is related. But in Genesis 18:1. it is stated that three men came to Abram, one of whom is introduced as Jehovah, whilst the other two are called angels (Genesis 19:1). Beside this, we frequently read of appearances of the "angel of Jehovah" (Genesis 16:7; Genesis 22:11, etc.), or of "Elohim," and the "angel of Elohim" (Genesis 21:17; Genesis 31:11, etc.), which were repeated throughout the whole of the Old Testament, and even occurred, though only in vision, in the case of the prophet Zechariah. The appearances of the angel of Jehovah (or Elohim) cannot have been essentially different from those of Jehovah (or Elohim) Himself; for Jacob describes the appearances of Jehovah at Bethel (Genesis 28:13.) as an appearance of "the angel of Elohim," and of "the God of Bethel" (Genesis 31:11, Genesis 31:13); and in his blessing on the sons of Joseph (Genesis 48:15-16), "The God (Elohim) before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God (Elohim) which fed me all my life long unto this day, the angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads," he places the angel of God on a perfect equality with God, not only regarding Him as the Being to whom he has been indebted for protection all his life long, but entreating from Him a blessing upon his descendants.
The question arises, therefore, whether the angel of Jehovah, or of God, was God Himself in one particular phase of His self-manifestation, or a created angel of whom God made use as the organ of His self-revelation.
(Note: In the old Jewish synagogue the Angel of Jehovah was regarded as the Shechinah, the indwelling of God in the world, i.e., the only Mediator between God and the world, who bears in the Jewish theology the name Metatron. The early Church regarded Him as the Logos, the second person of the Deity; and only a few of the fathers, such as Augustine and Jerome, thought of a created angel (vid., Hengstenberg, Christol. vol. 3, app.). This view was adopted by many Romish theologians, by the Socinians, Arminians, and others, and has been defended recently by Hoffmann, whom Delitzsch, Kurtz, and others follow. But the opinion of the early Church has been vindicated most thoroughly by Hengstenberg in his Christology.)
The former appears to us to be the only scriptural view. For the essential unity of the Angel of Jehovah with Jehovah Himself follows indisputably from the following facts. In the first place, the Angel of God identifies Himself with Jehovah and Elohim, by attributing to Himself divine attributes and performing divine works: e.g., Genesis 22:12, "Now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me" (i.e., hast been willing to offer him up as a burnt sacrifice to God); again (to Hagar) Genesis 16:10, "I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude;" Genesis 21, "I will make him a great nation,"-the very words used by Elohim in Genesis 17:20 with reference to Ishmael, and by Jehovah in Genesis 13:16; Genesis 15:4-5, with regard to Isaac; also Exodus 3:6., "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob: I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, and I am come down to deliver them" (cf. Judges 2:1). In addition to this, He performs miracles, consuming with fire the offering placed before Him by Gideon, and the sacrifice prepared by Manoah, and ascending to haven in the flame of the burnt-offering (Judges 6:21; Judges 13:19-20).
Secondly, the Angel of God was recognised as God by those to whom He appeared, on the one hand by their addressing Him as Adonai (i.e., the Lord God; Judges 6:15), declaring that they had seen God, and fearing that they should die (Genesis 16:13; Exodus 3:6; Judges 6:22-23; Judges 13:22), and on the other hand by their paying Him divine honour, offering sacrifices which He accepted, and worshipping Him (Judges 6:20; Judges 13:19-20, cf. Genesis 2:5). The force of these facts has been met by the assertion, that the ambassador perfectly represents the person of the sender; and evidence of this is adduced not only from Grecian literature, but from the Old Testament also, where the addresses of the prophets often glide imperceptibly into the words of Jehovah, whose instrument they are. But even if the address in Genesis 22:16, where the oath of the Angel of Jehovah is accompanied by the words, "saith the Lord," and the words and deeds of the Angel of God in certain other cases, might be explained in this way, a created angel sent by God could never say, "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," or by the acceptance of sacrifices and adoration, encourage the presentation of divine honours to himself. How utterly irreconcilable this fact is with the opinion that the Angel of Jehovah was a created angel, is conclusively proved by Revelation 22:9, which is generally regarded as perfectly corresponding to the account of the "Angel of Jehovah" of the Old Testament. The angel of God, who shows the sacred seer the heavenly Jerusalem, and who is supposed to say, "Behold, I come quickly" (Revelation 22:7), and "I am Alpha and Omega" (Revelation 22:13), refuses in the most decided way the worship which John is about to present, and exclaims, "See I am thy fellow-servant: worship God."
Thirdly, the Angel of Jehovah is also identified with Jehovah by the sacred writers themselves, who call the Angel Jehovah without the least reserve (cf. Exodus 3:2 and Exodus 3:4, Judges 6:12 and Judges 6:14-16, but especially Exodus 14:19, where the Angel of Jehovah goes before the host of the Israelites, just as Jehovah is said to do in Exodus 13:21). - On the other hand, the objection is raised, that ἄγγελος κυρίου in the New Testament, which is confessedly the Greek rendering of יהוה מלאך, is always a created angel, and for that reason cannot be the uncreated Logos or Son of God, since the latter could not possibly have announced His own birth to the shepherds at Bethlehem. But this important difference has been overlooked, that according to Greek usage, ἄγγελος κυρίου denotes an (any) angel of the Lord, whereas according to the rules of the Hebrew language יהוה מלאך means the angel of the Lord; that in the New Testament the angel who appears is always described as ἄγγελος κυρίου without the article, and the definite article is only introduced in the further course of the narrative to denote the angel whose appearance has been already mentioned, whereas in the Old Testament it is always "the Angel of Jehovah" who appears, and whenever the appearance of a created angel is referred to, he is introduced first of all as "an angel" (vid., 1 Kings 19:5 and 1 Kings 19:7).
(Note: The force of this difference cannot be set aside by the objection that the New Testament writers follow the usage of the Septuagint, where יהוה מלאך is rendered ἄγγελος κυρίου. For neither in the New Testament nor in the Alex. version of the Old is ἄγγελος κυρίου used as a proper name; it is a simple appellative, as is apparent from the fact that in every instance, in which further reference is made to an angel who has appeared, he is called ὀ ἄγγελος, with or without κυρίου. All that the Septuagint rendering proves, is that the translators supposed "the angel of the Lord" to be a created angel; but it by no means follows that their supposition is correct.)
At the same time, it does not follow from this use of the expression Maleach Jehovah, that the (particular) angel of Jehovah was essentially one with God, or that Maleach Jehovah always has the same signification; for in Malachi 2:7 the priest is called Maleach Jehovah, i.e., the messenger of the Lord. Who the messenger or angel of Jehovah was, must be determined in each particular instance from the connection of the passage; and where the context furnishes no criterion, it must remain undecided. Consequently such passages as Psalm 34:7; Psalm 35:5-6, etc., where the angel of Jehovah is not more particularly described, or Numbers 20:16, where the general term angel is intentionally employed, or Acts 7:30; Galatians 3:19, and Hebrews 2:2, where the words are general and indefinite, furnish no evidence that the Angel of Jehovah, who proclaimed Himself in His appearances as one with God, was not in reality equal with God, unless we are to adopt as the rule for interpreting Scripture the inverted principle, that clear and definite statements are to be explained by those that are indefinite and obscure.
In attempting now to determine the connection between the appearance of the Angel of Jehovah (or Elohim) and the appearance of Jehovah or Elohim Himself, and to fix the precise meaning of the expression Maleach Jehovah, we cannot make use, as recent opponents of the old Church view have done, of the manifestation of God in Genesis 18 and 19, and the allusion to the great prince Michael in Daniel 10:13, Daniel 10:21; Daniel 12:1; just because neither the appearance of Jehovah in the former instance, nor that of the archangel Michael in the latter, is represented as an appearance of the Angel of Jehovah. We must confine ourselves to the passages in which "the Angel of Jehovah" is actually referred to. We will examine these, first of all, for the purpose of obtaining a clear conception of the form in which the Angel of Jehovah appeared. Genesis 16, where He is mentioned for the first time, contains no distinct statement as to His shape, but produces on the whole the impression that He appeared to Hagar in a human form, or one resembling that of man; since it was not till after His departure that she drew the inference from His words, that Jehovah had spoken with her. He came in the same form to Gideon, and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah with a staff in His hand (Judges 6:11 and Judges 6:21); also to Manoah's wife, for she took Him to be a man of God, i.e., a prophet, whose appearance was like that of the Angel of Jehovah (Judges 13:6); and lastly, to Manoah himself, who did not recognise Him at first, but discovered afterwards, from the miracle which He wrought before his eyes, and from His miraculous ascent in the flame of the altar, that He was the Angel of Jehovah (Judges 13:9-20). In other cases He revealed Himself merely by calling and speaking from heaven, without those who heard His voice perceiving any form at all; e.g., to Hagar, in Genesis 21:17., and to Abraham, Genesis 22:11. On the other hand, He appeared to Moses (Exodus 3:2) in a flame of fire, speaking to him from the burning bush, and to the people of Israel in a pillar of cloud and fire (Exodus 14:19, cf. Exodus 13:21.), without any angelic form being visible in either case. Balaam He met in a human or angelic form, with a drawn sword in His hand (Numbers 22:22-23). David saw Him by the threshing-floor of Araunah, standing between heaven and earth, with the sword drawn in His hand and stretched out over Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 21:16); and He appeared to Zechariah in a vision as a rider upon a red horse (Zechariah 1:9.). - From these varying forms of appearance it is evident that the opinion that the Angel of the Lord was a real angel, a divine manifestation, "not in the disguise of angel, but through the actual appearance of an angel," is not in harmony with all the statements of the Bible. The form of the Angel of Jehovah, which was discernible by the senses, varied according to the purpose of the appearance; and, apart from Genesis 21:17 and Genesis 22:11, we have a sufficient proof that it was not a real angelic appearance, or the appearance of a created angel, in the fact that in two instances it was not really an angel at all, but a flame of fire and a shining cloud which formed the earthly substratum of the revelation of God in the Angel of Jehovah (Exodus 3:2; Exodus 14:19), unless indeed we are to regard natural phenomena as angels, without any scriptural warrant for doing so.
(Note: The only passage that could be adduced in support of this, viz., Psalm 104:4, does not prove that God makes natural objects, winds and flaming fire, into forms in which heavenly spirits appear, or that He creates spirits out of them. Even if we render this passage, with Delitzsch, "making His messengers of winds, His servants of flaming fire," the allusion, as Delitzsch himself observes, is not to the creation of angels; nor can the meaning be, that God gives wind and fire to His angels as the material of their appearance, and as it were of their self-incorporation. For עה, constructed with two accusatives, the second of which expresses the materia ex qua, is never met with in this sense, not even in 2 Chronicles 4:18-22. For the greater part of the temple furniture summed up in this passage, of which it is stated that Solomon made them of gold, was composed of pure gold; and if some of the things were merely covered with gold, the writer might easily apply the same expression to this, because he had already given a more minute account of their construction (e.g., Genesis 3:7). But we neither regard this rendering of the psalm as in harmony with the context, nor assent to the assertion that עשׂה with a double accusative, in the sense of making into anything, is ungrammatical.)<

Checking your score is very important because it can assist you identify errors and make corrections in the report. Not checking your credit report files could lead to major rejection. If you have a right to see your credit files for free, then you should make a point of doing so. There may be an error that reflects in the report, and it could greatly impact your ability to be issued with a loan. Checking every detail in the file can help you unearth some things that could remain unidentified for some time.
The earlier you make the corrections the better because you are able to prevent some bottlenecks. People have been rejected for loans because there seems to be an unused but uncancelled mobile contract address, which has not been updated after one, moved from a previous home to a current one. You have to be vigilant in everything you do on your credit file.
In addition, you also need to check for products that are not yours cause of the ID fraud issues. Before you make any big applications like the mortgage, car loans, home equity loans, or such kind of credit facilities, it is essential you check the credit files in order to minimize the risk of rejection. According to Ted Sarenski, a certified public accountant as well as financial planner, he says that it is fantastic to have card issuers providing free credit report for consumers.
Other websites like CreditKarma, CreditSesame, and Credit.com have all along been offering access to free credit scores for many years. By getting on board and offering credit file access to consumers, the credit card issuers are able to reach and influence the way in which consumers interact with their credit files. Card issuers like Barclaycard US, Discover, and First Bankcard have already signed up to help allow more than 35 million cardholders to be able to check their FICO scores in each month and without a cost.
Besides the card companies, it is expected that more lenders will follow similar footsteps and allow consumers to access their credit files for free. One main reason why card issuers are offering the free access to credit file is to allow consumers to be able to check their report and establish issues that are affecting their borrowing and other aspects that are impacted upon by the score. While consumers may want to know their score, on the other hand, they have to focus more on the report.
The score is just a figure while the credit report offers a more detailed analysis of the score and it will show the companies that have extended credit to you, the kind of loans, which are outstanding, as well as the payment history. It is the report where you can also see some errors and correct them in advance before they negatively impact your borrowing status.
If the credit scores are readily available, they could help consumers to better spot mistakes or other problems within their credit report and be able to act appropriately. Federal regulators have hinted that fewer than one in every five Americans actually do perform a check on their credit in a year. And, without regularly reviewing the score and the report, it would be easy for consumers to fail to notice the errors in the credit file data or even identity theft that could have occurred in their cards.


After these thinkers and the discovery of these causes, since they were insufficient to account for the generation of the actual world, men were again compelled (as we have said) by truth itself to investigate the next first principle.For presumably it is unnatural that either fire or earth or any other such element should cause existing things to be or become well and beautifully disposed; or indeed that those thinkers should hold such a view. Nor again was it satisfactory to commit so important a matter to spontaneity and chance.Hence when someone4 said that there is Mind in nature, just as in animals, and that this is the cause of all order and arrangement, he seemed like a sane man in contrast with the haphazard statements of his predecessors.5We know definitely that Anaxagoras adopted this view; but Hermotimus6  of Clazomenae is credited with having stated it earlier. Those thinkers, then, who held this view assumed a principle in things which is the cause of beauty, and the sort of cause by which motion is communicated to things.
It might be inferred that the first person to consider this question was Hesiod, or indeed anyone else who assumed Love or Desire as a first principle in things; e.g. Parmenides. For he says, where he is describing the creation of the universe, " Love she7 created first of all the gods . . .
" thus implying that there must be in the world some cause to move things and combine them.

Reality Shares' Product To Have 15% BTC At Maximum That's right folks, yet another contender has entered the Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) fray. This time its Reality Shares, a blockchain-centric investment services provider based in California that is headed by chief executive Eric Ervin. In fact, it isn't really a full-Bitcoin fund, as a maximum of 15% of the fund's assets will be allocated to BTC, through the CBOE and CME futures to be exact, if the product goes live.
While this move is welcome, especially considering the lack of U.S.-regulated, easily-accessible crypto-related investment offerings, some may be disconcerted by the fact that Reality Shares may decide to stave away from allocating their funds to physical BTC. This is due to the fact that CBOE's and CME's Bitcoin offerings are currently cash-settled, thus making the California investment upstart's potential Bitcoin allocation paper, not physical. Bitcoin ETF Hype Continues The filing of Reality Shares' proposed vehicle comes amid a continued hype surrounding Bitcoin ETFs and products of similar caliber.

Nevertheless, there are updates of hardware that can be made to improve the yield and to extend the life of an equipment.
The question that there is to become is: They are these necessary changes? It is moment for making purchases when? Its equipment responds as quickly as before neither can execute the present versions the more of software that frequently uses. The peripheral ones, in spite of constant repairs, do not respond? The equipment is beginning to generate physical damages by exhaustion and bad positions to him? The homemade repairs are not sufficient (there are people that insist on making homemade adjustments without conscientiously considering that these can be more detrimental for the integrity of their equipment and the security of their work area) Buys, but. First of all, it is necessary to think the true reasons for which a purchase is taking place. If this one represents a tangible improvement in the form that you use his computer, then she is an accessory that is worth the pain to buy. If one is to update, to improve so much the efficiency as the experience, is an investment. It is necessary to consider that many accessories and parts are going to have to replace itself after a time. By the others, he is advisable to be reviewing bulletins of technology and computer science to know what improvements are immediate (for example, when more capacity is needed resources for one application that we used frequently) and to try to invest intelligently.

Keywords no longer is considered to elaborate the ranking of the natural positions that is to say, when entering an expression in the picture of searches of Google, the list of sites that leave like answer to ours query – due to the committed excesses. That is to say, often they were placed keywords of high demand, when in fact the same did not have anything to do with excellent content of the page. Consequently, all the textual content like excellent content is taken, at the time of positioning the sites in the natural results. For this reason, we made emphasis before about the nonconvenience entirely of realising the sites in Flash. At the most excellent content has a site, far better. Although, clearly, without incurring excesses. We will already see these aspects that technically is called densidad of keywords more ahead. Tags that is excellent for Google is Description (Therefore the code fragment would be seen that includes this tag: ); Title (Title of the page); Contenido and Seth of characters (; and all the tags directed to bots, that is to say, with precise instructions for the finders, insofar as pages of the site to index and which not (noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noodp, noarchive, to unavailable_after, noimageindex). All these tags, and others more, added to the textual content of the site replace the relevance of the Keywords at the time of positioning a site in the finders. This it is the first passage towards an excellent position in the natural results. If it has liked this post and wants to place it in its site, can do it without disadvantages, as long as it mentions like source to original Author and source of the article.
Of which the technical department of a company consists the preventive computer science maintenance, there is in case it, must be the one in charge of resolves all the problems that happen in relation to the network and to technical problems several. But in case there was not east department in the company and is a contracted service this would have to pay attention before any hard technique that can arise to him to the client. If you have contracted a preventive computer science maintenance service you must know how it works and what it covers. A first that must cover preventive service of maintenance is the telephone attendance for any doubt that can arise and that it can be resolved by telephone. In addition, it is important that the preventive computer science maintenance service, is in charge to inform before serious failures of how solving it or explaining the reasons through which they pass these errors. The basic services of a preventive maintenance are: Revision of the state of the network; through weekly examinations and controls, the technicians must know how he is the network and where it fails, stops before any failure that can arise to be preparing. To control the operation of the servant; this, also is task of the computer science maintenance service and within this process, to verify itself if the anti-virus is working correctly and if the data are being transferred of correct form. All these services would be those that form in basic package of a pereventivo computer science maintenance service. Original author and source of the article.
Only for hours has been closed successfully according to my modest opinion what in Wolters Kluwer they call Commercial Days, which before we called CONVENTION of distributors, when Sie like NEXUS manufacturer was a separate company, although says this with nostalgia, gives faith of good integration between both companies and of which these commercial days where we have known ourselves and fused the channels of distribution of the different divisions from Wolters Kluwer have been the flexion point to see the great way that we have all together ones ahead and all the good opportunities that we can obtain working all in the same equipment and like a great family.

The Center for Teaching Excellence exists to provide leadership and services that contribute to improvement of teaching quality at Texas A&M University. The Montague-Center for Teaching Excellence Scholars Program was initiated in 1991 as a cornerstone effort in this quest for sustained excellence.
Each academic college annually selects one tenure-track developing faculty member for the Montague-Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar designation. This person, who will have already shown ability and interest in the teaching of undergraduates, receives a $5,000 grant to research and develop innovative teaching techniques with outcomes made available to other faculty through the Center for Teaching Excellence.
During the year of designation, the Montague-Center for Teaching Excellence Scholars meet with each other, previously recognized scholars, the Council of Master Teachers, the Provost and the President, thus allowing these developing faculty to interact with recognized teachers and policy-making administrators of Texas A&M University. The program allows the University to develop role-model teachers and to give recognition of excellence and promise in teaching early in a faculty member's career.

99 Years Ago: Life in the Year 2000
< Previous | Main | Next >
This fascinating account of the future was written in 1911 and imagines life in the year 2000. It was recently found by Hub Culture member Liza Morris in DC, and we thought it was well worth sharing.
Excerpts from: In the Year 2000 by Estella Jenny Bennett (Written 1911, Tuckerton, NJ. Found 2010, Liza's Great Grandmother)
"Everything has changed. The whole country seems strangely peculiar.
The mode of transportation is changed to a marked degree. Instead of riding on surface steam cars we travel by the underground electric system, and we who are in better circumstances have eliminated the use of the automobile and take our tours in the flying machine or by air-ships.
It is not an uncommon thing to see hundreds of air-ships gracefully floating in the air. All these have been substituted for automobiles, the same as automobiles were for horses.
Horse racing and auto racing no longer occupy the attention of the sporting public. Air-ships, which have become almost perfected, may be seen in contests all over the country. They travel at terrific speed and can at will be made to move in any direction.
The future as seen in the 1950s
Another mode of transportation is by the means of a tube, known as the Great Tube System. This tube is large enough for the body of a man to pass through. Instead of waiting for a train or air-ship, the man is placed in the mouth of the tube and is instantly sent from one city into another. Our country has grown to such an extent that it has been necessary to build these great tubes connecting all the larger cities. By means of this Great Tube System ninety percent of railroad and street car casualties have been done away with.
Wireless telegraphy has been installed in all railroad stations and large business places thus giving the public quick and accurate service. The long expected trolley route now running through this town extends from New York City to Atlantic City.
Factories and brick dwellings now occupy the sites of our once famous frame buildings. Our towns by the shore have been replaced by cities, and all city improvements may be found.
Our government is today the strongest and best of all nations, but without any particular change. Our navy is the strongest and best equipped in the world. It is fifty years since the last battle was fought and it is not likely that another battle will ever be fought between two countries. The whole world has become civilized and all disputes between the different countries are settled by arbitration.
Fifty years have elapsed since both the North and South Poles have been reached and explored. Air-ships serve as a conveyance to these extreme points. The climate at the North Pole has gradually become warmer while that of the South Pole has by degrees become colder.
Pulp - Disco 2000 (Live at Later Jools Holland Show)
The manners of the people are like those of several hundred years ago. The people are very hospitable and they treat a poor beggar as well as they do a rich and well bred king. Some of the people hire servants to stand at the turn of every important road and watch for travelers so as to beg them to come and eat a meal and sleep for a night in their house. By these kind acts the people of the twenty-first century show their hospitality. This in turn tends to prolong the life of our natives.
Some of the eating consists of corn and rye bread and light foods and all that is very common. Another mode of eating takes the form of a pill which contains all the nourishment that is needed in the body. It seems very strange to see the family sit down to the table and eat a pill instead of seeing the table loaded down with fruit, food and other eatables. One of these pills is sufficient for the stomach from one meal to another.
All our forests have been hewn down, and great factories and farms occupy all the once timbered land. Farming is done entirely by labor saving machines. The decrease in the cost of living, coupled with the fact that all petty costly practices of men such as the use of tobacco and drinking have been done away with, thus enables the very poor class to secure and maintain a little farm or home.
We notice a great change in the style of dress which also reflects on that of centuries ago. We see no more the enormous merry widow hats worn by women in the past century. The women wear long flowing gowns made either of rich silk or satin. The men wear long pointed shoes and silk stockings. They wear short breeches fastened at the knee with a gold or silver buckle. Their hair is left hanging down their back, tied with a ribbon of gay color. In this century the more simplicity one uses in their attire, the more pronounced is their style.
It is a decided fact that to travel over this great country of ours (the greatest of all countries) in this age would be an education in itself for those of past ages. We have hundreds of new inventions to restore the old, every device for lessening the labors of man, and it is indeed a great country and a great age.
The Stars and Stripes float highest in the air and rank foremost in the eyes of all nations."

Review: Fallen World #4
Posted on August 7, 2019 by Alex K Cossa
In Fallen World #4, Rai's greatest enemy has returned in a whole new form, and he's got an army with him!
Can the cyborg samurai save innocent people from the powerful foe?
What roles will fan-favorite characters Eternal Warrior, Geomancer, and War Mother play in the battle?
Fallen World #4, written by Dan Abnett, featuring art by Adam Polina, colors by Ulises Arreola and letters by Jeff Powell is the penultimate issue in the series that follows the events of 4001 A.D. and War Mother. It also serves as the first time we see War Mother interact with another character from New Japan, the new Geomancer, and the Eternal Warrior.
Unfortunately, it's also the weakest book so far in the series.
Gone are the allegories to the present day and our current struggles, replaced by an issue of combat and action that does little to provide any real excitement (which feels odd to say).
Regarding those allegories…
My love for this series is, in part, due to the analogs to our current world. There are clear problems between humans and their former slaves, the artificially intelligent positrons. This leads to some powerfully haunting moments in the first issue. The second issue introduced us to a religious sect that worship Father – or rather their idea of Father, crafted to suit their needs. It's a series of undertones that add what all great science fiction has. That's a powerful modern relevance despite the book being set two thousand years in the future. The third issue has added an interesting commentary on a foreign body trying to impose its will on the existent population. It's a population that is less than thrilled with the proposition being offered by the foreign body.
From the review of Fallen World #3 I wrote last month.
Whereas the fourth issue has a throwaway line that infers people are willing to surrender far too much for the easy way out. It is a powerful line, but it's lost amidst the rest of the issue and isn't really revisited in any great detail, which is a shame.
Once again, the comic is split between two different plotlines; following Rai and the Eternal Warrior, the Geomancer and War Mother. Rai's story is mostly focused on his impending confrontation with Father, and how the supporting characters try to help make such a thing a possibility in the finale of the miniseries. I'd love to say that the action of screen and the story itself are exciting, but it feels almost routine. Fallen World #4 is a by the numbers comic that is entirely at odds with the first two issues in the series – and as a person who was deeply enjoying the direction of the story, that's a disappointing thing to say.
At this point, it would be nice to say that the diverging tale brings enough to the comic to save it, but there's something a flatness in the way the Eternal Warrior, the Geomancer and War Mother interact; any of the emotion and humour from the previous issue seems to have drained away to be replaced with mostly forgettable dialogue (though there are highlights – for the most part it's just "okay").
I am aware that art is subjective, which makes talking about it tricky at times because this series has once again fallen below expectations for me. There are some wonderfully descriptive pages, and then you look at Gilad's face and you wonder if it's the same character that we saw last issue because he seems to have had an impromptu hair cut (which he seems to keep refreshing after every page or so), and the scars across his face have pretty much all but disappeared. Now while some of my misgivings can be attributed to the review pdf, there's more than I can reasonably sweep under the rug.
That said, this series is still buoyed by two remarkable issues at the outset of the series, and another pretty good one right in the middle. While there has been a downward trend appearing, we've still got an issue left that will allow Abnett, Pollina and co to course correct for a much better finale than the fourth issue implies we'll get. But, after a disappointing fourth issue, I'm still cautiously optimistic about the fifth.

Former 6ix9ine Associate Arrested Over Kidnapping and Robbery Incident
ByAlex Galbraith
Image via Getty/MICHAEL CAMPANELLA
A suspect has been arrested in the kidnapping case of 6ix9ine. According to TMZ, federal agents arrested Anthony Jamel Ellison over charges related to the July kidnapping, pistol-whipping, and robbery of the New York rapper.
The website reports that Ellison has been indicted on 1 count of conspiracy to obstruct commerce by robbery, 1 count of obstructing commerce by robber, and 1 count of carrying a firearm to commit a crime.
Ellison was reportedly a member of Tekashi's management team before the rapper struck gold. He was arrested on November 6 and remains in jail. Ellison pled not guilty to all charges against him.
The fact that Ellison was a former member of Tekashi's team jibes with what he said immediately following the robbery. After the rapper got out of the hospital, he called in to DJ Akademiks' Twitch stream and said that the robbery was orchestrated by people who knew him.
"It was an inside job," he said. "It wasn't no outside n***as. It's n***as that know how the king of New York moves, you know what I'm saying? The only person that can get a Pharaoh in Egypt is the person who helped build the fuckin' kingdom, you know what I'm saying? The n***a that's right next to him. The n***a that know who built that shit, that got the blueprints."

While 6ix9ine has beefed up his security since the incident, the attacks on the rapper continue. A recent music video shoot with Tekashi, Nicki Minaj, and Kanye West had to be called off after gunmen fired at the mansion where they planned to film.

Q: Как в списке имён найти имя файла с наибольшей датой? Имеются файлы с названием типа: "filename_20180325_180109.zip, filename_20180326_020107.zip", т.е. отличаются только числами в конце имени, которыми является дата создания. Важно так же то, что число состоит из двух частей и имеет значение для меня только первая часть, находящаяся до "_". Необходимо скачать только один файл с бОльшим числом в конце имени(с последней датой) и положить его рядом со скриптом.
Возможно есть идеи как прикрутить к решению проблемы модуль fnmatch

A: Если часть с filename везде одинаковая, то имена можно просто как строки сравнивать так как формат даты также позволяет сравнения для строк использовать. Поэтому max() функция вернёт нужное имя:
filenames = ["filename_20180325_180109.zip", "filename_20180326_020107.zip"]
print(max(filenames))
# -> filename_20180326_020107.zip

Если первая часть в имени файла может отличаться, тогда можно дату в нужном формате явно изъять из имени для сравнения:
import datetime as DT
import re

def most_recent(filename):
    m = re.search(r'_(\d{8})_(\d{6})\.zip$', filename)
    if m:  # matched
        try:
            dt = DT.datetime.strptime(' '.join(m.groups()), '%Y%m%d %H%M%S')
        except ValueError:
            pass
        else:
            return dt, filename
    return DT.datetime.min, filename

Имея ключ для сравнения, легко получить имя с наибольшим временем:
print(max(filenames, key=most_recent))
# -> filename_20180326_020107.zip

К примеру, что скачать в текущую директорию из заданной ftp директории dir самый свежий zip-архив:
import fnmatch
import posixpath

def download_most_recent_archive(ftp, dir):
    filename = max(fnmatch.filter(ftp.nlst(dir), '*.zip'), key=most_recent)
    with open(filename, 'wb') as file:
        ftp.retrbinary('RETR ' + posixpath.join(dir, filename), file.write)

Пример:
import ftplib

with ftplib.FTP('ftp.example.com', 'user', 'passwd') as ftp:
    download_most_recent_archive(ftp, 'archives')

Inflation and central bank policy action top concern for DB schemes
Nearly three quarters (74 per cent) of defined benefit (DB) pension scheme trustees and sponsors cited inflation and central bank policy action as their main concern in the next six months, research from Russell Investments has revealed.
The report, The Changing Ecosystem of DB Pensions, showed that these concerns have been on the rise following the government's mini-Budget, with only 68 per cent of respondents identifying inflation and central bank policy action as their main concern prior to the government announcement.
The majority of respondents also cited significant fears over the prospect of recession and current geopolitical dynamics and their impact, with 52 per cent citing concerns of a recession following the mini-Budget, while 50 per cent had concerns over geopolitical conflict.
The research suggested that DB trustees' priorities have shifted following the mini-Budget, revealing that, prior to the government announcement, trustees and sponsors were primarily focused on improving funding levels, with 68 per cent citing this as their main concern, while 61 per cent highlighted risk management as their main priority.
Since the mini-Budget however, the focus on de-risking has become more prominent, with more than half (52 per cent) of respondents ranking it as their main investment priority, compared to 32 per cent pre-mini-Budget.
Improvements to funding levels and managing risks, meanwhile, fell back by 10 per cent and 5 per cent, respectively, in terms of priority.
The focus on de-risking has also been reflected in asset allocation decisions, as the research revealed that 32 per cent of respondents have moved away from developed markets, while 12 per cent have shifted from emerging markets equities, and 17 per cent have moved away from property exposure.
Investment grade credit (25 per cent) and high yield credit (13 per cent) appeared to be beneficiaries of this trend, alongside infrastructure (16 per cent) and private credit (12 per cent).
Following on from recent issues around liability driven investment (LDI), more than half of respondents confirmed that they expect to retain their current liability hedge ratios over the next two years, while just over a quarter expect to increase hedging.
However, the proportion of respondents planning to increase liability hedge ratios has fallen 20 per cent following the mini-Budget statement, which Russell Investments highlighted as a potential reflection of the expected lower use of leverage going forwards.
More broadly, the report found that climate remained a key consideration, as over two-thirds (68 per cent) of respondents said they were 'likely' or 'very likely' to increase their focus on climate change over the next 12 months.
In addition to this, over a third (36 per cent) have already set a net-zero target of 2050 or earlier and 47 per cent are in the process of considering their approach, while only 16 per cent have decided not to set any target.
Climate change also features prominently as a criterion in manager selection, with more than half (57 per cent) of those surveyed highlighting manager research as a means by which they incorporate sustainability considerations into their investment portfolios.
Commenting on the findings, Russell Investments head of UK institutional, Middle East and Africa, Jim Leggate, stated: "The UK DB market has clearly been challenged over the last year, with increased uncertainty and market volatility adding to concerns over slowing growth, recession and climate change.
"Trustees and sponsors are responding to these challenges through changes to their strategic plans and asset allocations, as well as the deployment of outsourced support to strengthen decision-making and governance practices. We expect this trend to continue as schemes seek external expertise to meet their long-term goals."
