Anti-austerity protest in Athens against bailout deal and protesters set TV van on fire
Obama: Netanyahu cannot stop Iran deal
US president says PM will not succeed in using Congress to defeat the deal; Kerry: Israel 'is safer' thanks to agreement, noting critics of deal 'never offer a realistic alternative'.
US President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended the agreement reached with Iran over its nuclear program, making it clear that the purpose of the deal was simply to prevent the Islamic Republic from attaining nuclear weapons – not to curb its global power.
Congress still needs to sign off on the deal, which could result in a fierce battle in the legislature. In an exclusive New York Times interview, Obama said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "perhaps thinks he can further influence the congressional debate" but that he was confident the agreement would be approved.

"But after that's done, if that's what he thinks is appropriate, then I will sit down, as we have consistently throughout my administration, and then ask some very practical questions: How do we prevent Hezbollah from acquiring more sophisticated weapons? How do we build on the success of Iron Dome, which the United States worked with Israel to develop and has saved Israeli lives?
"In the same way I'm having conversation with the gulf countries about how do we have a more effective interdiction policy, how do we build more effective governance structures and military structures in Sunni areas that have essentially become a void that (the Islamic State) has filled or that, in some cases, Iranian activities can exploit?"
The White House on Tuesday announced that Obama would send Defense Secretary Ash Carter to the Middle East next week. The only confirmed stop on the trip was Israel, although officials said Carter would also visit other countries in the region.
US Secretary of State John Kerry lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday night, saying the Israeli leader's claims about the deal were "way over the top."

Muslim screaming "Allahu akbar" holds knife to tourist's neck at Rome's Colosseum
A tourist was forced to her knees at knifepoint at Rome's Colosseum in a terrifying attack that recalled an ISIS-style execution.
Hundreds of horrified visitors to the Italian landmark looked on as the attacker held a kitchen knife to the neck of a 26-year-old woman and yelled 'Allah is great' and 'It is God that sends me'.
The man held Chiara Frisco hostage for several minutes as he yelled religious fanaticism at the crowd with police powerless to act.
One witness said: 'It seemed like a scene from ISIS.
'He made the girl get down on her knees like you see in the terrorists' videos, while he held a knife to her throat.
'The only thing missing was the orange jumpsuit.'
Others told Il Messaggero he was yelling among them "Allah is great".'
Miss Frisco, from Vasto on the Adriatic coast, who was visiting her sister in Rome to celebrate her graduation, said she feared 'the worst' when the knifeman grabbed her.
Speaking from hospital where she was being treated for shock, she said: 'We came from Vasto to celebrate my sister's graduation.
'We were supposed to meet her in the evening. While waiting we decided to take a walk and go and see the Colosseum.'
She was sitting on a low wall with my boyfriend and other friends on Monday afternoon when the 'maniac' struck.
She told La Repubblica: 'I felt myself pulled suddenly into the middle of the crowd. Then I felt the blade of the knife that he was holding against me. I feared the worst would happen.
'I could not see the weapon. The whole attack lasted seconds but I felt a tremendous fear.
'The man was yelling like a maniac. Luckily the police came though.'
When the police arrived, the attacker ran off through the Forum packed with tourists towards the centre of Rome, piazza Venezia, where he was disarmed and arrested. …

Russia to Surprise Rivals With Defense and Security Innovations
Russian President Vladimir Putin promised on Tuesday to "please" Russia's competitors with new developments in the field of defense and security.
DVORIKI (Sputnik) — Putin said during an educational youth forum:
"We are yet to delight our partners and competitors with our latest developments in the field of defense and security. But what we will show — and here we will not be keeping secrets forever — will be used in civilian industries one way or another."

Putin: Russia's Opponents Using IT Advantages in Political Struggle
In June, Putin said that Russia's defense industry must drive innovation, as forward-thinking is especially important for the fields of energy, engineering, communication and microelectronics, which are major sources of economic growth.
"Any discoveries, achievements, developments in the military field for the needs of defense and security, sooner or later become the property of civilian industry sectors. The Internet was developed in this way," the Russian leader said.

Congressional bill seeks to essentially ban 'gay conversion' programs across the U.S.
Residential treatment programs for young people that engage in controversial "gay conversion" therapy would face comprehensive federal regulation under a bill introduced Tuesday on Capitol Hill.
By prohibiting the facilities from discriminating against LGBT and disabled youths and allowing residents or their families to sue in federal court, the proposed legislation could essentially ban so-called gay conversion therapy nationwide.
Many such programs – intended to rehabilitate children with mental health problems, behavioral or substance abuse issues – have been accused of instead starving their charges, restraining them physically and mentally abusing them. Some cases of neglect have led to death or suicide, state statistics have shown.
"We cannot ignore reports that young people have died and thousands have suffered abuse at the hands of those who run and work at residential treatment programs under the guise of providing critical therapy and rehabilitation services," Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), one of the bill's cosponsors, said at a news conference Tuesday.
An estimated 4,600 teenagers were enrolled in such programs in 2013, said Paul Gionfriddo, president and chief executive of Mental Health America. Families tend to turn to these residential "boot camp" programs as a last resort after unsuccessful experiences with traditional inpatient mental health services, he said.
In some circumstances parents send their children to treatment programs in an effort to change their sexual orientation from gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual to straight, known as "gay conversion" therapy. California banned the practice in 2012.
Schiff emphasized the need for federal regulation, noting that "programs are often shut down in one state only to open in another under a different name."
State Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) introduced similar legislation in California this year to increase regulations and oversight on private residential programs, mandating licensure of such facilities.
Critics questioned the need for federal regulation in states that already regulate residential care facilities. Megan Stokes, director of government and public relations at the National Assn. of Therapeutic Schools and Programs, an industry organization of treatment programs, said such states should be exempt from the bill.
Several law professors agreed that Congress had the constitutional power to enact such legislation. "Such a federal law, which hopefully would eliminate gay conversation therapy, as California law has done, would be clearly constitutional," according to Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of UC Irvine Law School, who pointed to Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce.
In April, the White House announced its stance against conversion therapy programs for minors.

IMF Rips Pandora's Box To Shreds, Demands Greek Debt Relief "Far Beyond What Europe Has Been Willing To Consider"
Earlier today, Reuters first leaked that just two weeks after the IMF released its first revised Greek debt sustainability report, one which the Eurogroup desperately tried to squash as it urged for a 30% debt haircut and came hours before the Greek referendum vote giving the Oxi camp hope and crushing Tsipras' carefully laid plan to lose the vote and capitulate with integrity instead of having to capitulate a week later after 17 hours of "mental waterboarding" and have his reputation torn to shreds, the IMF would release a follow up report updating its view on the Greek economy which in just two short weeks of capital controls has utterly imploded.
Just like the first IMF report, which we correctly compared to the opening of a Pandora's box, and with which the IMF also obliterated the careful plans of the Troika, so with this follow up the IMF effectively crushes the glideslope of the latest Greek bailout process barely scraped together on Monday morning and has torn Pandora's box to shreds with the following summary assessment: "Greece's debt can now only be made sustainable through debt relief measures that go far beyond what Europe has been willing to consider so far."
Yes, debt relief... just the others' debt: not the IMF's, please.
So what just happened?
As of this moment the IMF is telling Greece that if nothing changes, it will die of cancer with 100% certainty; on the other hand the Eurogroup is telling Greece it will die of a heart attack also wih 100% certainty if anything changes.
Good luck with the choice.
Here are the report punchlines:
Greece's public debt has become highly unsustainable. This is due to the easing of policies during the last year, with the recent deterioration in the domestic macroeconomic and financial environment because of the closure of the banking system adding significantly to the adverse dynamics. The financing need through end-2018 is now estimated at Euro 85 billion and debt is expected to peak at close to 200 percent of GDP in the next two years, provided that there is an early agreement on a program. Greece's debt can now only be made sustainable through debt relief measures that go far beyond what Europe has been willing to consider so far.
... significant shortfalls in program implementation during the last year led to a significant increase in the financing need—by more than Euro 60 billion—estimated only a few weeks ago. As a result, debt-to-GDP by 2022 was projected to increase from an estimate less than a year ago of about 105 percent to a revised estimate of 142 percent, significantly above the target of 110 percent of GDP. This would under the November 2012 agreement have implied significant additional measures to reduce the face-value of debt.
Greece cannot return to markets anytime soon at interest rates that it can afford from a medium-term perspective.
The events of the past two weeks—the closure of banks and imposition of capital controls—are extracting a heavy toll on the banking system and the economy, leading to a further significant deterioration in debt sustainability relative to what was projected in our recently published DSA. A full and comprehensive revision of this debt sustainability analysis can only be done at a later stage, taking into account the deterioration in the economic situation as a result of the closing of the banking system and the details of policies yet to be agreed. However, it is already clear at this stage that there will be a significant increase in the financing need. The preliminary (mutually agreed) assessment of the three institutions is that total financing need through end-2018 will increase to Euro 85 billion, or some Euro 25 billion above what was projected in the IMF's published DSA only two weeks ago, largely on account of the estimated need for a larger banking sector backstop for Euro 25 billion. Adjusting our recent DSA mechanically for these changes, and taking into account the agreed weaker growth path for the next two years, gives rise to the following main revisions:
Debt would peak at close to 200 percent of GDP in the next two years. This contrasts with earlier projections that the peak in debt—at 177 percent of GDP in 2014—is already behind us.
By 2022, debt is now projected to be at 170 percent of GDP, compared to an estimate of 142 percent of GDP projected in our published DSA.
Gross financing needs would rise to levels well above what they were at the last review (and above the 15 percent of GDP threshold deemed safe) and continue rising in the long term.
In other words, for every week that the Greek capital controls remain , the total cost of the Greek bailout (the funding needs) increases by €10 billion.
It gets worse: "these projections remain subject to considerable downside risk, suggesting that there could be a need for additional further exceptional financing from Member States with an attendant deterioration in the debt dynamics."
Medium-term primary surplus target: Greece is expected to maintain primary surpluses for the next several decades of 3.5 percent of GDP. Few countries have managed to do so. The reversal of key public sector reforms already in place— notably pension and civil service reforms—without yet any specification of alternative reforms raises concerns about Greece's ability to reach this target. Moreover, the failure to resist political pressures to ease the target that became evident as soon as the primary balance swung into surplus also raise doubts about the assumption that such targets can be sustained for prolonged periods. The Government and its European partners need to address these concerns in the coming months.
Growth: Greece is still assumed to go from the lowest to among the highest productivity growth and labor force participation rates in the euro area, which will require very ambitious and steadfast reforms. For this to happen, the Government— which has put on hold key structural reforms—would need to specify strong and credible alternatives in the context of the forthcoming program discussions.
Bank support: the proposed additional injection of large-scale support for the banking system would be the third such publicly funded rescue in the last 5 years. Further capital injections could be needed in the future, absent a radical solution to the governance issues that are at the root of the problems of the Greek banking system. There are at this stage no concrete plans in this regard.
The dramatic deterioration in debt sustainability points to the need for debt relief on a scale that would need to go well beyond what has been under consideration to date—and what has been proposed by the ESM. There are several options. If Europe prefers to again provide debt relief through maturity extension, there would have to be a very dramatic extension with grace periods of, say, 30 years on the entire stock of European debt, including new assistance. This reflects the basic premise that debt cannot be assumed to migrate back onto the balance sheet of the private sector at interest rates close to the current AAA rates before debt levels have been brought to much lower levels; borrowing at anything but AAA rates in the near term will bring about an unsustainable debt dynamic for the next several decades. Other options include explicit annual transfers to the Greek budget or deep upfront haircuts. The choice between the various options is for Greece and its European partners to decide.
Actually, it is no longer Greece's: Greece is about to hand over its sovereignty to Brussels on a silver platter. The choice is now all up to the European "partners" to decide.

This Is Much More Dangerous to National Security Than Jade Helm
There are worse threats to America than Jade Helm 15.
There has been something that has been a battle brewing inside of the United States that is devastating to the American way of life. This is worse and far more of a threat than Jade Helm. Specifically, I am speaking about the destruction of the Christian religion in the United States. The demise of Christianity and Christians is planned and it is deliberate.
As bad as he may be, the country can survive the illegitimate Presidency of Obama along with his fascist policies. America can also survive an economic crash, we have done it before. We can even survive the implementation of martial law so long as individual Americans refuse to accept the obliteration of their civil liberties. However, what America cannot survive is the wholesale the destruction of its cultural underpinnings. No nation can survive the destruction of its culture and remain the same and this is precisely what America is going through now.
Cultural Destruction
Our American history books are replete with examples on how the westward movement in this country destroyed the various Native American tribes. The Navajo, the Sioux et al, were not merely defeated because they lost their land, their freedom as many of them lost their lives. They were defeated, in the finality of it all, because they lost their culture. When the Native Americans were conquered, they were literally destroyed because they lost their right to practice their spiritual beliefs, societal mores and family traditions. Many of the children were sent off to harsh boarding schools where they were further deculturized.
America is living in a time when she is being deculturized. We are being stripped of our way of life. This administration would force you to accept homosexual marriage regardless of your religious beliefs and teachings on th subject. Many of the homosexual groups cry out for equality. However, some go much further as they bait the owners of bakeries into lawsuits who will not sell wedding cakes to homosexual couples because it violates their Christian values. Pastors are being threatened with law suits for the same reasons. "We have the right to refuse service to anyone" does not apply to those of a Christian persuasion.
We are also being forced to accept the presence of tens of millions of foreigners on our soil. Some come here with the legitimate intent to become part of the American culture. Some come here to take advantage of the hospitality that has been extended to them. And some come here with long criminal histories and to our current President, he does not care about distinguishing between the three groups of immigrants in which two of these groups of immigrants are clearly deculturizing America because I believe that is his goal. DeculturizingAmerica? Yes! How many immigrants from third world countries can we take on before we become just another third world country ourselves?
Were you aware that under the provisions of the TPP, we could see 150 million new immigrants coming to America? Where will we get the money to provide water, schooling and medical care?The answer is that we won't and that is the objective. America is not supposed to survive the unveiling of the New World Order. Although most Americans are generous and we support immigration, we should not be supporting the deliberate deculturizing of America, but we do because we fear being labeled a racist.
As it was Native Americans, we witnessing the destruction of the traditional American culture that is increasingly branded as homophobic, xenophobic and racist for merely wanting to survive.
Christians Founded America
I strongly support the notion of religious toleration. However, as an American citizen, I feel compelled to proclaim that my Christian religion formed the backbone of the creation of this nation. I make no apologies for this statement, because it is true. All first year law students learn that the 10 Commandments form the foundation for our legal code. Subsequently, as I acknowledge the validity of religious toleration as a societal ideal, I will not, and cannot accept the ongoing attacks on the dominant culture and its native and dominant religion by fundamental extremists representing views which run contrary to the dominant culture. We must not acquiesce to the will of the minority. We can honor toleration without sacrificing our national identity.
The Sharia Threat
A senior member of the Saudi monarchy, Alwaleed bin Talal, says he'll pledge his $32 billion fortune to charity. The Saudi Prince said he will his model his future endowment after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As if this is not concerning enough, Alwaleed bin Talal says that the money will primarily be spent on the funding of the spread of Islam in the United States. However, let's be clear, we are not really talking about understanding, we are talking about the obliteration of the Christian religion as we know it.
This is a very concerning development because Saudi Arabia's approach to Islam is to censor all criticism of Islam while prohibiting the free practice of any other religion. So much for religious toleration and if we carry this intent out to its logical conclusion, your Christian religion will be banned and the practice of it could result in the forfeiture of your life. Merely look at the Middle East's treatment of Christians to see what your future could look like.
Alwaleed bin Talal's involvement is so very concerning because he has already pledged millions to the radicalized Muslim Brotherhood proxy groups to Islamize Americans through the spread of Shariah law.
"Ex-federal prosecutor says is "a major Muslim Brotherhood figure" who has helped raise funds for al-Qaida". One could safely argue that Islamization of America has already commenced because Alweed bin Talal has already donated $27 million to a Saudi telethon to promote a Palestinian intifada against the nation of Israel as reported by the Clarion project. Last time I checked, Israel was still our ally.
Alaweed bin Talal has also engaged in other concerning Islamo-fascist activities:
Giving $500,000 to the American-Islamic Relations backed by the terrorist groups, namely, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas the supplier of Russian arms to Syria's Assad and the new partner of ISIS in Mexico, the various drug cartels.
The spending of an amazing $40 million to expand the study of Islam in American colleges and universities.
He donated $20 million to Harvard to create a "campus-wide Sharia law studies program while also spending the same amount to Georgetown University. It should be mentioned that Sharia law is dedicated to the eradication of all other forms of worship including Christianity.
In any other country, the involvement of someone as heinous as Alaweed would banned from being able to involve themselves in our educational system and politics. However, that is not the case under this President. Do you think for a moment that Putin would put up with this?
Christianity is being marginalized into a tight and narrow corner in many venues including the sports world and our educational system.
The Washington Redskins Quarterback, RG3
Washington Redskins quarterback, Robert Griffin III (RG3) was wearing a Christian T-shirt at a post-game press conference until the NFL said "No way." RG3's shirt read "Know Jesus Know Peace" and, also, "No Jesus No Peace."
Michael Phillips, a sportswriter for the Richmond Times Dispatch, who was in the room tweeted: "RG3 was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Know Jesus, Know Peace.'
RG3 acquiesced and turned his shirt inside-out. This certainly will not earn him bonus points on Judgment Day. I wonder if RG3 understands that he will go down in NFL history as the Judas of the sport? Yet, I cannot help wondering if the T-shirt said " "Allahu Akbar" (الله أكبر)", the NFL would not have dared to say a word. No, I don't hate Islam, but the double standard in this country is growing by the day.
Do Not "Cross" the Line
Football players from Arkansas State University placed a small Christian symbol on their football helmets to commemorate the lives of the late Markel Owens, a former player, and Barry Weyer, the former equipment manager, according to conservative commentator Todd Starnes.
Louis Nisenbaum, an attorney in Jonesboro, Arkansas, saw the team playing on television, he subsequently wrote to the university's legal counsel to complain about the cross. Arkansas State University attorney Lucinda McDaniel subsequently agreed that the symbol was a "problem", recommending that athletic director Terry Mohajir order it removed or alter it.
Mohaij stated this decision to remove the crosses from the helmets was based on the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Not so fast, My Great Commissar of Athletics, the First Amendment promises freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. There is a bit of good news, the outcry was felt far and wide and the officials at Arkansas State University, eventually lifted the ban on crosses. However, I cannot help wondering that if the symbol placed on helmets had been a Wiccan symbol, the keepers of the devil's gate, would not have dared make it an issue. Do you really think that is a far-fetched statement? Please consider the following.
Who Is Really Behind This Evil?
Following up on their success in their ability and "right" in getting their agenda into childrens' minds through Hollywood's entertainment and music industries", worshipers of Satan have found a new way into your children's minds and souls by using the court system to force access to schools and distribute their satanic literature to children while attending school!
Pamphlets are now being distributed to children in the Orange School District (FL), which promotes social justice and the love of Satan. Attention parents of Orange Schools, where are you?
As serious as the threat that Jade Helm poses, these threats to our cultural traditions are far more serious and threaten to deliver a death blow to our way of life.
We are witnessing the persecution of Christians through the principle of incrementalism. Hitler did the same. First, there was the public chastising of the Jews. Then they were denied employment and the right to publicly practice their religion. Then the worst began to happen.
Today in the United States, the abolishment of Christianity is underway. Through the DHS sponsored Clergy Response Team and making churches into IRS controlled tax exempt foundations, the message from the pulpit is being controlled. Now we are witnessing the marginalizing of Christians and the removal Christian practices from all public venues. Christian traditions are being erased.
A famous quote was offered which helps frame these current events of persecution against Christians "wherever they burn books, in the end, they will burn human beings". I would offer a variation of this theme, "where they erase Christianity, they will soon do the same to the followers of the religion".
Vatican Claims Jerusalem......
A Hebrew Nation News Special Report by Bonnie Harvey
I am concerned about some things I'm seeing in Jerusalem/Israel, so I decided to go back to scripture to examine and re-examine the scripture concerning same, hoping to distinguish my thoughts from the actual words of scripture.
So, actually, what do we know from scripture regarding Israel in the last days? We know that the land will be divided (Joel 3:2) and that the Third Temple will be built, which the pseudo-Messiah will profane (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 11:1-2). The word used for "abomination" in this portion of Daniel is "shiqoots," or, meaning "disgusting."
Concerning this profaning, we have two examples in history of such "profaning," the first example being the setting up of a statue of Zeus in the First Temple by Antiochus Epiphanes. The second example is of Titus having carnal knowledge of two prostitutes on the altar with a Torah scroll rolled out beneath them. Daniel was not kidding about the "disgusting" part. "Shiqoots" of the Temple is not limited to history, however, for we can see the Dome of the Rock sitting where the Temple once sat, complete with a sign announcing that Elohim has no son. Perhaps this is the greatest shiqoots in Temple history.
What else do we know about Israel in the last days? We know that Jerusalem will be a cup of staggering to all nations and that all nations will gather against her. In response, Yehovah Himself will strike them down, for Jerusalem is the apple of Yahweh's eye.
What is Jerusalem's part in all of this? Has she been unfairly attacked just because Yahweh loves her? Isaiah alludes to her part, her sins, and that her hardship has been/will be punishment rather than any injustice. John calls Jerusalem, i.e., "where the Lord was crucified," "Sodom" and "Egypt." Why would John call Jerusalem such accursed names?
What have they done or what are they doing to warrant such address? That is the focus of this article. I am raising issues for our awareness, so we know how to pray, how to interpret, and how to reckon the timeline.
The Timeline. In Daniel 9, we see the basic elements of a., a ruler who will come, strengthening a covenant (definition) c., with the "many" (rabim, rabble, nations of the world?) d., for 7 years. If we have all of these 4 elements, I urge everyone to take a serious look for this looks very much like the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel. If this is the case, the horses will soon ride globally.
What we have on our plates right now is Israel asking for a 5-7 year treatyand Obama pushing for a 7-year treaty. The Oslo Accord was signed in September of 1993 and was revoked just short of 7 years later, being signed on Elul 27 and was revoked before sundown on Elul 28 seven years later when Ariel Sharon ascended the Temple Mount to pray for the return of Israel. Here's a Gregorian-to-Hillel converter to help with the calculations.
So, we have the element of "covenant" and the element of "7 years." Is there any more evidence of the element of a "covenant"?
New Checkpoints. I have had contact with Steven ben Denoon, who is an Israeli citizen who lives in Israel 9 months of the year and is a Messianic Jew. He was on the Hebrew Nation Radio Thursday Morning Show on July 2, 2015, to discuss the new checkpoints and highway changes in Israel recently. He will again appear on this radio program July 23, 2015.
Steven states that for the past 4 years or so, authorities in Israel have been widening Highway 1 from Tel Aviv (the site of the main airport in Israel, Ben Gurion Airport) to Jerusalem. Now, within the past year or so, Steven reports that first the arches appeared, then the remainder of the checkpoint. He has taken pictures of the size of the electrical/electronic capability to the checkpoint, a detail that he concludes is evidence of a sophisticated, passport-checking, high-volume checkpoint.
The truly upsetting aspect of the above is that Hwy. 1 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is completely within Jewish held, occupied, ruled, and unchallenged territory. Hitherto, checkpoints have only been established between Arab occupied and Jewish occupied parcels. Why build checkpoints between Jewish held land and a Jewish held city, Jerusalem? Is the answer simple? Does the answer reflect the decision of our own Supreme Court? Is the answer that Jerusalem has already been established as an international city, sovereign from Israel and under another's rule and authority?
Steven reports that many Israelis are concerned, but, just like America, they're not rebelling because they still have goods, peace, and services.
Below are some photos that were taken by Steven ben DeNoon:
Above: The arches on Hwy 1 first appear on the newly widened highway from the major airport to Jerusalem.
Above: The arches began to take shape, revealing a functioning, barricaded checkpoint.
Above: The size of the cables reveal a checkpoint that will have sophisticated resources.
Is Steven ben DeNoon the only one noticing and calling attention to these new barricades? No. Pastor Paul Begley, and earnest watchman, interviewsIsrael citizen, Simantov Allaloof, who has also watched the new construction and raises the same questions as ben DeNoon.
Above: The new high-speed light rail train between Ben Gurion Airport and Jerusalem.
"Why," asks ben De Noon, "does Israel need an entirely new system between the airport and Jerusalem? Buses are adequate. Is Israel going to see a great influx of visitors? From where?" Then, he wonders aloud concerning just what would make Jerusalem such a magnet for such a sizable increase. The possibilities he voices are concerning.
That question raises the next issue.
Who is paying for these improvements? If we answer this question, we might get to the bottom of what is actually occurring.
An Italian journalist writing for Arutz Sheva twice weekly, Giulio Meotti, wrote an article that was published June 30, 2015, in which he outlined Vatican disregard for Jewish access and control of the Temple Mount. After discussing Pope John Paul's visit to the Arab-flag bedecked Temple Mount in 2000, Meotti concludes that the papal visit, hosted solely by the PLO, was the Vatican "recognition of Islamic hegemony" and of the Islamic and Christian "right" to supersede Jewish interests in the holy places.
Most disturbingly, Meotti writes that "the Vatican-PLO agreements have been signed to enable the eviction of the Jews from Jerusalem." Other agreements have been signed, including a memorandum of "preserving the proper identity and sacred character" of Jerusalem by returning to a pre-67 scenario wherein Jews were barred from the Old City and half of the city was under Islamic rule.
Meotti's sentiments were echoed on the site NowTheEndBegins.com. The title of the article is, The Vatican Wants the Temple Mount Taken from the Jews, where he quotes the above Meotti source.
On June 26, 2015, the Associated Press released a story with the banner, Vatican Sign Treaty with "State of Palestine." The Treaty recognized a Palestinian State and regulated Catholic participation within the new State. This Treaty was the first to recognize Palestine as a State.
Above: Vatican Foreign Minister Gallagher and Riad al-Malki after signing the first treaty recognizing Palestine as a State.
Additionally, Steven ben DeNoon reports that a beautiful new mall has been constructed just outside of Jaffa Gate, complete with an elaborate Catholic church in the middle of the mall. DoNoon ponders this strange juxtaposition and wonders if paying for the construction of the mall earned the Catholic right to put a church in the middle.
Again, Arutz Sheva reporter, Guilio Meotti, wrote in an article entitled, A Seat for the Pope at King David's Tomb, that Netanyahu granted the Pope an official seat in the room where the Last Supper is believed to have been held on Mt. Zion. It is also the believed to be the Tomb of King David. This agreement is expected to be ratified in the near future. Meotti, once again, outlines the long struggle and extreme interest of the Catholic Church in obtaining possession, rights, control, and dominion over this site (and dozens of other sites) while consistently "working to reduce Jewish rights in Jerusalem" and "campaigning with the Arabs against Israel." The agreement will allow this site on Mt. Zion to open for mass from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. It is here, close to the Temple Mount, that the newly ordered "Mass to Lucifer" will be sung daily.
DeNoon researched briefly concerning just who was paying to the new checkpoints and rail system, the answer, "Taxes and a private entity." NO information regarding the "private entity." I've asked him to research the "private entity."
In the meantime, let's ask some questions. What "private entity" has an extreme interest in Jerusalem? What "private entity" has enough money to build major infrastructural changes in a nation? What does the pope want with the ostensible room for the last supper of Yeshua (probably not), but, probably is the burial place of King David. Is the pope's interest more in the seat of King David? Is he preparing the way for the pseudo-messiah to reign from Jerusalem? Is that why the need for a new rail system? For the dignitaries that will flock to the pseudo-messiah? Will the imposter rule from Jerusalem? Will this "international" city be cut off from Israel? Is this fulfillment of prophesy unfolding before our eyes, about the "siege" (to isolate/cut off/restrict) that is laid against Jerusalem?
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. Zechariah 12: 2
Is that the reason for the checkpoints in to west Jerusalem?
Is there any other suspicious building activity in or around Jerusalem? Yes. Routes north and south of Jerusalem, mostly Arab-occupied land, is enjoying a surge of freeway construction which appears to link Arab-occupied land, East Jerusalem, and other surround Arab-occupied lands, thus eliminating their need to pass through Israeli checkpoints.
Below, we see another Steven ben DeNoon photo, showing a new freeway from Ramallah (Arab city north of Jerusalem) into Jerusalem. NO checkpoints.
5. The Ruler to come – Islamocatholicism. (aka Woman who rides the beast, from Revelation 17).
Let's look at Daniel 9 again. "The people of the ruler to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary." Who are the people who destroyed the sanctuary? The Romans. The leader who signs the covenant will be related to Rome. Let's look at Daniel's statue again.
"Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction." (Rev 17:10-11)
John noted that the Roman empire was the sixth because "five have fallen, and one is," i.e., the legs of iron. The empire that was in existence during John's life was Rome, who is the iron in the statue, a generally accepted interpretation since the 1st Century congregations.
Notice that Rome, the legs of iron, are two separate entities. Rome split into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern. Read a fascinating and brief history on how and why the Catholic Church helped to guide Mohammad, by Jesuit Cardinal, Augustine Bea. The goal, states this cardinal, was to ultimately gain Jerusalem by roping in the children of Ishmael as cohorts against the Jews. A closer look at both religions reveals surprising similarities – Mary worship, covering of women in the same manner, prayer beads, salvation by works, paganism, abuse of women, convert-or-die, and many more. This brief background by a cardinal helps us establish a background against which we can better interpret what we're seeing.
When we look at the two legs and understand the history, I offer that we can see that Islam is eastern Catholicism, or, that Catholicism is western Islam.They are not divisible! The Pope Francis has even declared the Koran to be the same as scripture and may be read during mass and that Allah is the God of the Christian Bible.
Please notice, also, that the iron continues down to the feet, which is mixed with clay. (The clay are the demonic entities that will breed with man, as in Genesis 6.) East/west Isamocatholicism will continue until the stature is destroyed by the Rock ("eben": ab (Father) + ben (Son) = Rock). The dominance of Rome/Islam continues until the second coming!
Back to Daniel 2, "the people who destroyed the sanctuary" were the Romans-who-are-the-same-as-Islamists. Who is the pseudo-messiah and who is the false prophet of Revelation? I offer that one will be from the right leg and one from the left leg of iron from Daniel's vision, and it matters not which is which. At the present time, to see Islam and Catholicism acting in concert against Israel/Jerusalem should be no surprise.
Sign the covenant with "the many." We have one more element to discuss, and that is the signing of the covenant per Daniel 9:27. The Hebrew word here is "rab," from which, I offer, we derive our English word "rabble." This covenant is signed with many people, "the many."
Do we have any meeting on our near horizon where the leaders of many nations will be gathering with a representative of the legs of iron, i.e., Islamocatholicism? The pope will meet with the full United Nations on September 25, 2015, after meeting with the leader of the current American administration. Will a covenant be signed at that time?
7. Will some Jews, Muslims, and Christians receive the pseudo-messiah? Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Cahaim Kanievsky has made a call of all Jews to return to Israel to receive the messiah , whose appearance is "imminent." He stated to a querying Jew, "Gather your family and come to Israel. Otherwise, there won't be enough room for you on the airplanes," hinting that the 9th of Av(July 25) could see this event.
Ultra Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky calls for imminent Aliyah.
The Bible Codes also seem to hint that the messiah will return in 2016, which on the Jewish calendar, commences September 14, 2015.
Rabbi Chaim is not alone in his call for urgency, for the Muslims have issued a similar call to herald the coming Mahdi. The Mahdi, they say, will return 2015-16.
Are some Jews, Muslims, and Christians preparing to accept the wrong messiah?
Summary. We have discussed the four elements of Daniel 9:27. These are the elements we need – 1. an Islamocatholic leader (probably), 2. will sign a covenant, 3. with many nations, 4. for a term of 7 years. If that happens this September, may all who love Yehovah take note.
We have also discussed recent occurrences in Israel – the building of checkpoints that appear to isolate Jerusalem from Israel; the building of roads that appear to link all of the territories the Arabs expect to obtain when Israel is divided; the exertion of papal control over sensitive sites in Jerusalem, especially David's Tomb; the Islamocatholic effort to push Jews out of the Temple Mount and Jerusalem in general.
We are left to wonder, is the Vatican establishing a seat for the final beast? Is the Vatican the "woman" who rides the New World Order/Islamic Beast? What role, if any, does the state of Israel play in all of this? Is it the right to worship on the Temple Mount during Feasts? On Sabbaths? Is it the promise of peace?
We can be certain that the signs we are seeing is evidence that we are in the last days. Once/if the covenant is signed, I offer that the horses will ride and the globe will go where we've never been.
I urge each one to fast, repent, pray, and read scripture. I offer that we are, even now, today, being scrutinized for fitness to serve in the vineyard during the upcoming great harvest.
Whatever happens, let us that our own feeble humanity isn't the issue, for we are told, "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD." Understanding our anxiety over the days in which we live, Yeshua said, "And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Below are the posts that reference the tag "Western Buddhism".
Dzogchen Ponlop is a teacher, a poet, visual artist and city-dweller, based in the United States for two decades.
How do we handle "hot" situations and interactions at work? What's the best course of action when faced with the edginess of other's opinions and the necessity of needing to get something done?
Why label Buddhism as either secular or religious? Where does the debate about Buddhism's institutional status originate?
What is the best way to relieve another person's suffering? How do we as Buddhists relate to others who do not identify as Buddhist themselves, especially our family members?
How can impermanence be a source of joy for parents? What parenting wisdom can be gained by understanding that 'nothing lasts forever'?
Why do we feel especially triggered by family relationships? How can we transform challenging moments with our family and use those triggers effectively on our path?
How can the artistic method help us get out of our own way when manifesting positive, creative action in the world?
Panel discussion in NYC with Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, Roshi Enkyo O'Hara, Shastri Ethan Nichtern and Mitra Mark Power. If Buddhist teachings such as mindfulness meditation are to inform, and transform, the larger culture, what are our next steps?
When asked about self hatred the Dalai Lama said, "Self hatred. What is that? But you have Budddha nature. How could you think of yourself that way?" How can Western Buddhists gain confidence in Buddha nature and nourish our capacity to offer lovingkindness to ourselves?
What would be the key ingredient to a "melting pot" of American Buddhism — one Buddhism, rather than many? How can students of different Buddhist traditions help and support each other on the road to freedom?

Photodance
Photodance was a unique photography exhibition that documented the history of the Suzanne Dellal Centre from its establishment to the present day. Israel's leading photographers and artists captured the unforgettable dancers, creators, and moments that have made their mark on the world of Israeli dance over the past two decades. The exhibition included portraits of dancers in rehearsal and in performance, both elegantly staged as well as candidly caught. The most recent exhibition concluded with an auction conducted by Simon de Pury, Chairman of Phillips de Pury & Company, one of the world's largest auction houses.
Curator Hadas Maor's exhibition took place at the center in September 2009. The exhibition presents photographic artistic documentation of the best bands and creators associated with the center, including portraits of choreographers and performers, rehearsal photographs,
photographs from performances, staged photographs and more.

The exhibition of dancer and photographer Mikhail Brishnikov took place at the center in October 2012 and documents works by choreographers and dance groups from around the world, among them; Iris Erez, Batsheva Dance Company, Benjamin Milfayed, Mars Cunningham, Kelly and Pekondo, Gil Roman and more.
"In my travels around the world, I photographed for two decades with a conventional 35mm camera and mostly in black and white. Traditional landscapes, portraits and atmospheric photographs. I avoided photographing banal images from the field of dance as much as possible, for fear of dull and predictable results.
One day, as I was flipping through some old dance photography books, most notably Alexei Brodovich's Ballet and Ballet in Paul Himmel-Gila's action from 1954, I suddenly had enlightenment. I realized that if I wanted to capture the excitement of the show the moment it takes place, in the most exciting and impressive way, I have to stay away from sharp and clear photographs And turn to the districts of the blurred edges and the amorphous figures. Mikhail Brishnikov."

DanceEuropa (1999-2006)DancEuropa, the precursor to Tel Aviv Dance, was an initiative of the Suzanne Dellal Centre and the representatives of the European Union in Israel to expose Israeli audiences to the richness and diversity of contemporary European dance. DancEuropa was a result of a cultural collaboration between Israel and Europe, serving as an important means of building bridges, communication and cultural exchange, a partnership which continues today. The Delegation of the European Commission, together with the embassies and cultural institutes of the Member States, adopted DancEuropa as an EU project as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen cultural ties between Israel and the European Union.
Summer Dance – Maholohet
Summer Dance was an annual summer dance festival showcasing the highlights from Israeli dance throughout the year.
Madridanza
A partnership with the Community of Madrid, Cervantes Institute, and Spanish Embassy, Madridanza was a week-long festival showcasing the best of contemporary and Flamenco dance from Spain.
Shades in Dance – Gvanim B'Machol
Shades in Dance is a biennial mentorship program that pairs young choreographers with a professional artistic director to create a fully produced premiere that serves as the artists' debut into the Israeli dance scene. Many of today's top Israeli choreographers began their professional careers as part of this project, including Yasmeen Godder, Inbal Pinto, Emanuel Gat, Noa Wertheim of Vertigo Dance Company, Anat Danieli, Barak Marshall, Liat Dror and Nir Ben Gal, Renana Raz, and many more.
Shades in Dance was first held in Ramla in 1984 under the direction of Elida Gera. It was a joint venture of Omanut La'am under the direction of Yossi Frost and Discount Enterprises under the direction of Yigal Sasson. It was established as a competition in order to encourage artists to participate and to enable them to create another piece by winning a prize. It became a program of Suzanne Dellal Centre upon the Centre's founding in 1989. Shades in Dance was the recipient of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation's choreography prize.

Now I don't know about you, but I do love me a nice gallery wall. So much so, I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to them.
Ever since I was a kid, I've grouped together pictures – generally in the most random pattern I could muster. I can't remember a time when I didn't have image-filled walls, whether it be posters of Showaddywaddy (yes, I am that old) and the Bay City Rollers (be still my Les-loving beating heart), or a collection of framed Bon Jovi postcards snaking up the stairs in Beloved's and my first home.
That Number One decided to draw around with a permanent marker.
It was quite masterful really, considering he was only 5 at the time. I have no idea how he reached some of the higher pictures but reach them he did, leaving us with a lovely, unbroken pattern of pen all the way up the walls from the bottom of the stairs to the landing.
Ah… the joys of parenthood. I can't wait until Granbubbas get their revenge. Ha!
A staple of interior design, the gallery wall is great way to inject style and personality into your home and it's easy to create a stylish wall of art on the cheap.
As you know, mixing handmade and high street is my "thing", whether it's upcycling charity shop finds like the ones above, or creating new art from bargainous high street frames like these or these.
If you can stretch the budget, a custom-made frame will really make a handmade masterpiece pop, while a 3-dimensional piece like Stanley the Stag adds a little shop-bought character and quirkiness to your walls.
But what if you don't want to go to the trouble of arranging a ton of frames? What if you have a large wall space you want to fill quickly, cheaply, and with only a few supplies?
Then this is the perfect project for you!
Get yourself down to B&Q, buy a sheet of MDF and some Polyfilla, grab yourself some paint and you have everything you need to create a large, one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will tart up a big blank wall in no time.
I made this piece to fill a large space on the landing. It's 1.2m x 61cm (48 x 24 inches) and 6mm thick. The MDF board cost me £8.00 and I already had the rest of the supplies in my craft stash, so the whole thing cost me under a tenner.
I had SO much fun with it, layering the paint and Polyfilla until I was happy.
A few random little pools of silver wax add a bit of 3-dimensional shiny, but you could use silver leaf, gilding wax, silver paint, or nothing at all.
Confession time – I can't claim this is an original Suzy Homemaker idea; I saw something similar on an episode of the BBC's Great Interior Design Challenge. Between you and me, it's not the first time I've stolen an idea from the show, my skull light was also #GIDC-inspired.
I did contemplate framing my MDF art with some pine beading painted silver (or maybe gold, since OneandSeventy's décor seems to be going that way!) I may still do that in the future but for now, I actually quite like it au naturel.
How about you? Do you think it should be framed? Do you like the idea and the abstract nature of this one? Is it something you think you might try? As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Drop a comment below to let me know, or come on over to Facebook for a chat.

Star Wars Prediction: Filoni's First Steps into a Larger World
Star Wars Prediction: Filoni's First Steps into a Larger World
Star Wars month is like "truck month" down here in Texas. It seems like it goes on all the time, no matter what the calendar says.
The franchise, celebrating it's 45th anniversary in May, has shattered expectations and literally changed the filmmaking industry. The first film, released in 1977, cost $11 million to make. The box office for Star Wars alone comes to more than $10 billion and the total worth comes to nearly $70 billion when you include all of the merchandising, home movie sales, countless video game titles, etc.
A snippet demonstrating how the franchise has generated some serious dollars, pounds, dinero, yen, etc.
The franchise has the potential to have Disney shareholders swimming in their own money bins. From 2015 to 2019 we had five Star Wars films, but Lucasfilm Studios has gone radio silent since then. While the movies were financial successes (yes, even Solo…barely), there is no doubt that even a casual glance on social media will show you that the reception of those films was mixed at best. When it comes to movies since 2019, the motto at the Presidio appears to be "We don't talk about movies, no no no."
So where do we go from here? With no movies on the horizon, Lucasfilm has turned to a series of experiments. Much like Marvel Studios having one season of WandaVision and one season of Loki, Lucasfilm has turned out one season of Visions and one confusing season of Book of Boba Fett while bathing in the glory of multiple seasons of the Mandalorian. Other series are coming one about Cassian Andor (for some odd reason), Ahsoka Tano (Filoni's golden child), and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
While increasing the number of subscribers on Disney Plus looks good to your shareholders, the big screen (especially as COVID dies down) still reigns supreme and can haul in billions of dollars at the box office and merchandise sales. As Star Wars Celebration nears, I have a big bold prediction to unleash. If you care to read all the way to the bottom of this piece? I'll grant a bonus prediction that will raise a few eyebrows…and probably roll a few eyes as well. Will these come true? Ehhhh, let's just have some fun with this.
Prediction! At Celebration, Lucasfilm will unveil a sizzle/teaser reel of a Dave Filoni standalone movie that will bring Star Wars back to movie theaters.
First, the only people more excited then the fans will be movie theater executives. Second, this is a necessary project for Dave Filoni as he is (in my ever-so humble opinion) currently being groomed to take over for Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy in two years.
Filoni (left) and Kennedy (right) appear together at the D23 expo.
Dave Filoni was elevated, very quietly, to the position of Executive Creative Director for all of Lucasfilm, not just Star Wars. The promotion happened in 2020, but no one picked up on it for a full year until his biography was finally updated on the Lucasfilm website. Climbing the ladder this high means there is only one place left to go and Kennedy is currently 68 years old. Giving Filoni a few years to figure out where the pens are kept and where his new parking space is seems natural. Once Kennedy turns 70, I fully expect her to retire from an incredibly prestigious and legendary career and Filoni will sit in the big chair.
In order to fully understand a studio as large and complex as Lucasfilm, with Willow and Indiana Jones also under their umbrella, Filoni needs to go where he hasn't gone before. While he has been an acclaimed animated storyteller going back to 2005 with the beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender series, he has never directed a live action movie. If you want to replace Kennedy's high heels with his cowboy hat? He needs to know the joys and the stresses of filming on location.
Nothing like a little OJT.
Circle the calendar for the summer of 2024 because that will be quite the time for Star Wars fans. I predict that not only will Kennedy shuffle off to Skywalker Ranch to sit alongside Lucas and enjoy retirement, and Filoni takes the helm, but if his movie is a hit? A trilogy of films will also be announced, possibly with a couple of standalone films to support them, Marvel style. Maybe I'm wrong about all of this, but hey, idle speculation based on thoughts bouncing around in my brain is what makes life worth living.
Oh, you thought that "trilogy" thought was the bonus prediction you were promised? Nah, that was just the summation of me putting my neck out there for the Internet to take a whack at. You ready for this one? Grab some duct tape to wrap around your head to keep it from exploding.
One of the standalones should be directed by Michael Bay.
I present to you, your Star Wars Savior…Michael Bay.
HOLD ON! Keep those torches and pitchforks on standby and hear me out. Yes, Michael Bay isn't the most gifted director. Yes, he objectified women and I'm pretty sure averages explosions per movie than legally allowed. Yes, WatchMojo went so far as to create a Top 10 as to why his films are hated. Yes, it sounds like I'm talking myself out of my prediction, but bear with me.
He also is the 2nd highest grossing director in the USA, behind Spielberg. He's ahead of Nolan, the Russo brothers, and JJ Abrams.
What do Star Wars fans CRAVE in their films going forward? Long gone are the philosophic chats from Yoda, the in-depth character analysis of Luke Skywalker's arc, or the redemption stories behind our villains. The fans have spoken loud and clear that they want the following:
Explosions, particularly in space battles.
Good looking actors/actresses.
Epic, if not dramatic, lightsaber duels. The flashier, and more like watching a parkour video, the better.
More explosions, more space battles, and whatever you can make go "BOOM!"
Think I'm kidding? The Star Wars Hub Facebook page had over 2600 people respond to a poll asking them to rate the film "Rogue One". Over 1800 (nearly 70%), gave it a 5 out of 5. When asked what they liked about it the most? 59% said it was essentially the last 20 minutes…when everything went "BOOM" and Darth Vader decided to retrieve the stolen Death Star plans with his lightsaber rather than use the Force to pluck it out of the hands of the rebels.
You want boom? Who knows that better than Bay?
Ah, but the majority of the Star Wars fanbase is male. Throw in some good looking ladies, which Star Wars has a history of doing, and that also speaks to the expertise of Michael Bay. Do I really need to bring up Megan Fox or how he replaced her in the "Transformers" franchise with a Victoria's Secret model?
The fanbase also wants epic lightsaber fights at the climax of their films, along with MORE massive explosions and space battles. For evidence, I submit to you the climax to Transformers, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and The Rock. Yes, these movies aren't going to be hailed as the greatest films of all time, but they made SERIOUS bank and are still watched decades later.
Oh yes, a Michael Bay Star Wars film would not only be beloved by the fans, but would also break the $2 billion barrier.
That would give the fans, executives, and shareholders all something to celebrate.

Our one-on-one approach to training future doctors extends to our application process.
We will review your application materials individually, carefully considering not just grades and letters of recommendation, but whether we believe you would thrive, specifically at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine—with its unique curriculum, diverse student body, hospital partnerships, wealth of research opportunities for students, and setting in one of America's most livable cities.
Obviously, if you make it to the interview stage, we will get to know one another even better. At each step of the application process, we will treat you as a potential peer.
The most important function of the School of Medicine is the education of future physicians, and candidate selection constitutes a serious responsibility of the faculty. The clear goal is the development of a class of intelligent, well-prepared, diverse, and inquisitive students. Click here to review the details of the method by which admissions shall be determined.
We have two separate application stages:
Stage 1: AMCAS application
The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine (UPSOM) participates in the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) of the Association of American Medical Colleges. AMCAS provides a centralized system for applying to any participating medical school. The AMCAS Application for Admission, common to all participating medical schools, is available at www.aamc.org.
A waiver form for the AMCAS application fee is included with the material provided by AMCAS. An applicant who is granted an AMCAS waiver will receive an automatic fee waiver from UPSOM for the supplemental application.
Applicants are urged to file their AMCAS applications as early as possible, and certainly before our deadline of October 15th (11:59 PM EST).
Stage 2: Supplemental application
All who apply through AMCAS may complete our Supplemental Application.
Detailed information and specific requirements for letters of recommendation are outlined. Applicants unable to comply with these requirements should contact the school's Executive Director for the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid in writing. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that we receive all materials, including letters of recommendation, no later than the deadline of November 15th (11:59 PM EST). Extensions are rarely granted.
In addition to the AMCAS application and fee, applicants must submit a non-refundable supplemental application fee of $100.
A limited number of freshman applicants are offered guaranteed admission to the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Selection will be based on the candidate's application for admission.
The Linkage Program is a post-baccalaureate program agreement between the University of Pittsburgh and several other institutions.

Warner Music and JetSynthesys ink exclusive strategic partnership
CXOtoday News Desk 1 year ago September 30, 2021
~ JetSynthesys also announces an investment of INR 200 crores in the Indian entertainment sector over the next three years ~
~ Through this partnership, the duo aims at building focus through acquisition, artist management and much more ~
US-headquartered multinational entertainment and record label conglomerate Warner Music Group (WMG) and new age digital entertainment and technology company JetSynthesys have come together to announce an exclusive strategic partnership. With this association, JetSynthesys becomes WMG's official India partner for all things related to music label licensing and acquisition, artist management, event management, original content creation across music, short videos and films, along with mobile gaming and esports. Additionally, JetSynthesys, which has a global foray in gaming, digital entertainment, and interest-based social community platforms, will invest INR 200 crores into the Indian entertainment sector over the next three years to ramp up its foothold in the space further.
Speaking about the development, Mr. Perez-Soto Alfonso Javier, President Emerging Markets, Warner Music Group said, "India is one of the strongest emerging markets globally when it comes to entertainment, across formats and verticals. Valued at around INR 15 Bn in 2020, the Indian music industry itself is estimated to reach INR 23 Bn by the end of 2023 according to recent industry reports. JetSynthesys has shown remarkable growth in the last few years, especially in gaming and esports and digital products and platforms. They have a keen understanding of the Indian market, also bringing incredible creativity and technical proficiency to the table, and we couldn't have asked for a better partner to strengthen our foray into the country."
"We are excited to join forces with Warner Music Group and become their partner for the Indian market. With a strong pulse over the changing consumer preferences and behaviour when it comes to entertainment, together we aim to strengthen the ecosystem and contribute to the proliferating industry by catering to the rising demand for newer entertainment avenues. Through this partnership, we also aim to bolster our offerings at JetSynthesys' Global Music Junction, taking it to the next level", said Mr. Rajan Navani, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, JetSynthesys.
"Warner Music Group made its official foray into India last year and we've been working on building our presence in the country since then. The association with JetSynthesys comes at a rather opportune moment when the Indian music industry, and the entertainment space in general, is on an unprecedented growth spree. As one of the top three names in the music entertainment space globally, WMG is always on the lookout for innovating and growing the space further. The association with JetSynthesys not only helps us bolster the music space in India but also get dynamic high-interest verticals like gaming and esports into our fold", said Jay Mehta, Managing Director, Warner Music, South Asia.
Commenting on the development, Rajkumar Singh, CEO, Global Music Junction Pvt. Ltd. (JetSynthesys' digital entertainment venture and one of the leading vernacular music labels in the country) said, "The Indian entertainment industry has always been a bustling space and the pandemic has offering it a further shot in the arm. Through this association and capital infusion, we aim to build the ecosystem further, strengthen existing forms of entertainment and also create newer formats. Most importantly, this will help us make Global Music Junction an even stronger entity in the vernacular music space and also scale JetSynthesys' digital entertainment arm further."

Two miles of secluded beach and calming wildlife await you at Lovers Key State Park. Lovers Key is located on Black Island, one of four barrier islands that make up the state park. It was once accessible only by boat, and the remote beach attracted lovers looking for a romantic getaway—hence the name, Lovers Key.
Today, you can take the boardwalk or the tram for a day's adventure viewing bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, bald eagles and West Indian manatees.
The barrier island is also the perfect place for relaxing on the beach, enjoying water activities and hiking the island trails. And events unique to the island like our Junior Ranger Adventure, Sea Turtle Talk, and fishing clinics are fun for the whole family.
Visit Lovers Key State Park and immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing the modern amenities for a comfortable journey.


Emma Watson, although fantastic, wasn't how I pictured the character, Sam, but I do think she did a great job making Sam her own. Also, for those who have read the novel, the big surprise at the end of the book of course cannot be shown on the big screen, but Chbosky found a unique way to transition such a traumatic topic to the movie screen without making the audience uncomfortable.
So—if you love the novel, but you were avoiding this movie, because you were afraid of it ruining the book, don't!
Go watch The Perks of Being a Wallflower movie, and whether you read the novel or not, this coming-of-age tale is for all ages, and will keep you feeling infinite afterwards.
Read what I had to say about the book here.
Check out the novel via Barnes & Noble here.
I wish more authors would practice that artistic control. The movies seem much better when they do.
Of course. But remember, largely, popular film has far more to do with entertainment than it has to do with art. Entertainment is far more profitable than art.
It just means we must work harder to change the idea that film is entertainment before art.
I so rarely see a film which compares favourably with the original book – glad to hear it can happen!
I'm glad to hear that. I read the book after I saw the trailer and I liked it lots, haunted by – we accept the love we think we deserve.Can't wait to watch it.
How great to get this endorsement, as I decided to get it recently. but haven't had the time to watch it yet. Will definitely look forward to it now :).

Politician Who Pushed 'Gender Neutral' Bathrooms Charged with Child Sex Crimes
A British politician who pushed "gender neutral" bathroom policies has been charged with child sex crimes.
Tory Councillor David Smith has been charged nine counts of sexual touching of a child.
Smith successfully petitioned the Mayor of Middlesborough to trial gender neutral toilets at Middlesbrough Council shortly after his election to the local authority in Teeside, Yorkshire.
Breitbart.com reports: Councillor Smith resigned from the notionally right-leaning party — described as "not really conservative" by Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage in a recent interview with Breitbart News — with "immediate effect in light of the allegations" against him.
He added that he "completely reject[s]" the "spurious allegations", however, claiming that he was only "removing myself from the party [to] ensure I can focus all my efforts on fighting to clear my name."
Nevertheless, reports suggest he intends to remain on the council — allowing him to continue receiving a reported £6,378 in basic allowance — for the time being.
Smith said he had "worked hard to ensure I serve the people of Coulby Newham" — the ward to which he was elected only around two months ago — "to the best of my ability."
The 30-year-old claimed "tackling the issue of pot holes", "ordering bollards to be installed", and "being a very proud advocate of the local LGBTQ community" as career highlights.
"This is who I am as a person and a community activist," he said, insisting that "The allegations made against my character are nothing more than damaging lies and moving forward, I will seek to prove this is the case in a court of law."
Smith was previously the subject of controversy when it emerged that he had suggested the country has issues with "rotten pond life families that should be sterilised and washed" while posting on an association football forum under the moniker "Smoggy89".
A spokesman for Cleveland Police confirmed that Smith it "due to appear at Teesside Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 7 August."
