There's a lazy, irritating strain running through the critical reaction to The Dark Knight Rises. It assumes that because the protagonist is a rich philanthropist and the villain an Occupy-soundalike terrorist, the film is taking a hard-right stand on today's political issues. You see this move from some on the left, who go as far as calling the film fascist. Others on the right are eager to deny the supposedly legitimizing Bat-mantle to liberals or to tie the Occupy movement to Bane's unremitting violence.
It's true that Christopher Nolan's films blanch at armed revolution, but it's also true that his films have nothing specific to say about the main debates that define popular American politics. Rather, the real message of the trilogy is philosophical in character: Nolan is mounting a layered defense of liberal democracy against its authoritarian opponents. The Dark Knight trilogy is saying something that most Americans assume implicitly — that best government is one that respects the rights of its citizens.
To start with The Dark Knight Rises, if the is film a dig at advocates for economic justice, it's an extraordinarily anemic one. Virtually no screen-time is dedicated to Gotham's social dynamics or violence by the people against elites. It's not clear if regular Gotham citizens, or just Bane's mercenaries and hangers-on, are participating in mass looting depicted on screen. There's no evidence of downtrodden masses cheering Bane's arrival. By contrast, the film is peppered with little asides about the consequences of inequality: the traders at Gotham's stock exchange are arrogant and self-absorbed, Selina Kyle's jabs at Bruce Wayne's wealth have bite, and Bane's bankrollers are vulture capitalists. Viewed in this light, what's wrong with Bane isn't his left-wing "motivation:" indeed, that's almost immediately shown to be an insincere fig leaf for public consumption. Rather, Bane is a villain because he uses the slaughter of innocent people as a means to attain his ends.
Giving Bane some slightly sympathetic lines is par for the course in this morally complex trilogy. Indeed, one clear continuity between the three films is that Nolan consistently puts legitimate critiques of Gotham in the mouths of the trilogy's villains. No one, not even Batman, would argue with Ra's Al Ghul's claim that Gotham was a thoroughly corrupt city. Rather, Al Ghul's mistake is concluding this entitles him to serve as Gotham's executioner. In Batman Begins' first act — in a scene suffused with class tension — Wayne refuses an order to behead a working class farmer as punishment for a crime. In The Dark Knight Rises, Batman's first rule for Catwoman is "no killing." Neither as Batman nor himself does Bruce Wayne argue that Gotham's social structure as it stands is morally defensible. Rather, he suggests that the city is worth reforming rather than destroying.The Joker's nihilistic assault on "schemers" also contains some seeds of truth. When the Joker tells Harvey Dent that "no one panics when things go 'according to plan' — even if the plan is horrifying," the example he uses highlights the differing ways society reacts to the deaths of soldiers and poor gang members versus rich leaders. That argument, that chaos is fair, is instrumental in transforming Dent into Two-Face. Gotham's White Knight goes on a murder spree in part because the Joker isn't completely wrong. Again, the reason these people are villians isn't their diagnosis of society's problems — it's their cure, a murderous assault on the city's existing political order.
Ross Douthat and John Podheretz are right in this, at least: The Dark Knight Rises does indeed endorse a kind of Burkean small-c conservatism — a preference for incremental reform over convulsively deconstructive revolt. But that's hard to square with the modern American conservative/Republican movement, which just produced a budget seeking to dismantle many of the social institutions Americans have relied on since the New Deal and the Great Society. Shoehorning Occupy into a "the Dark Knight movies are conservative" narrative requires a reductive stereotyping of the Occupiers, simplifying the nebulous movement into a collective of radical anarchists and ignoring its respect for liberal democratic forms — as demonstrated by the general assemblies — as well as the fact that it hasn't really damaged anything other than public grass.
Fear, of course, is the emotion that most suffuses the Dark Knight trilogy. In Batman Begins, terror of the powerful criminal underworld (the Scarecrow's fear gas being the literal instantiation of the idea) overwhelms the power of social institutions to address them. Batman's role, in Bruce's words, is to "fight injustice" by turning "fear against those who prey on the fearful." Batman is a terrifying totem meant to restore the balance of fear between the anarchic private world and the gutless public sphere.
In The Dark Knight, Nolan continues his examination of the terror of anarchy, as personified in the Joker, but introduces its twin concern for liberal theorists like Shklar: the potential for the state and allied institutions to abuse their enormous power. The universal surveillance device Batman uses to find the Joker, while seemingly necessary, is recognized by every character who encounters it to be too dangerous to entrust to anyone. Lucius Fox's revulsion at the device — "This is too much power for one person" — is clearly shared by Wayne, as the machine is rigged to self-destruct after use. Bruce's boast to Alfred that "Batman has no limits" is proven false: Batman must have limits. There must be lines he cannot cross, as no one person or institution — no matter how well-intentioned — can be trusted with unlimited power. Further, the film culminates in a heroic act of mutual respect between fellow citizens on boats rigged to explode, suggesting the answer to the Joker's challenge isn't to abandon planning but rather to broaden our range of moral concern for the harm power can do to our fellow citizens.
Finally, The Dark Knight Rises ties the twin fears together, suggesting that the fear that pervades our lives can be turned, as Shklar suggests, to productive purposes. Bruce can only escape the prison he is consigned to once he accepts his fear as an essential part of life. In other moments, Alfred chastises him for not trusting the citizens of Gotham enough — for turning away from communal life and shared institutions to the lonely Batmissions, for never wondering whether Gotham needed Bruce Wayne more than Batman. This resonates with Shklar's claim that "when we think politically, we are afraid not only for ourselves but for our fellow citizens as well. We fear a society of fearful people." By accepting his own fear and finally hanging up the Batsuit, Bruce comes to understand the basic motivation behind a liberal political order in Shklar's terms: the amelioration of one's own fear and everyone else's.
There's an important caveat to add here: Nolan's treatment of the "democracy" half of "liberal democracy" is far more cursory. That Nolan doesn't dwell on the social dynamics of pre-Bane or Bane-occupied Gotham suggests he isn't interested in casting advocates for economic justice in a bad light, but it also means we don't get a visceral sense of how the people feel about anything or how they express that feeling through Gotham's democratic institutions. The most important democratic action in the films ― like the passage of the Dent Act ― happens off-screen, with at best questionable consequences.
Part of this is just Nolan's style of filmmaking. It's impersonal if one's feeling charitable, cold if one isn't. He tends to treat his characters as cogs in a narrative machine rather than flesh-and-blood humans. This style of filmmaking can be good for exploring broad themes, but it's a bad vehicle for depicting democratic politics, which after all is the jockeying between the particular needs, moral beliefs, and cultural quirks of different human groups.
That said, Nolan does manage to make a case for the democratic part of liberal democracy, even if it's done in super-abstract form. The central struggle between the Batman and Joker is often described as a "battle for Gotham's soul," but it's equally well understood as a struggle for Gotham's democratic character. Harvey Dent's psyche is the key front in their war because he's both seemingly incorruptible and one of Gotham's elected officials, reforming the system from the inside. Further, the moment at which the Joker truly terrifies Gotham is when he mounts an assault on Gotham's judge, police commissioner, district attorney, and, ultimately, mayor. Dent compares Batman to a Roman protector during a suspension of democracy, and Batman spends the rest of the film trying to extricate himself from that role and rebuild Gotham's legitimate democratic governing order. Dent, an elected official, is the key symbol because he represents the possibility for Gothamites to take their city back through open and legitimate means.
These themes do carry over into The Dark Knight Rises, even if the somewhat weaker screenplay limits the complexity of the examination. While the fact that Dent's legacy is a seemingly authoritarian crime act founded on a lie might undermine Dent as democratic symbol — though it interestingly suggests Bane might be blowback for the Dent Act — one of The Dark Knight Rises' key sequences ends up supporting the prior film's embrace of democratic values. Bane takes over the city not in block-by-block battles or inside city hall; he does it at a football game, one of the great gatherings in contemporary American public life and in the one time we see an en-masse congregation of Gotham's citizens. He terrifies Gothamites (and, indeed, they're clearly shown to be terrified) not only by threatening nuclear apocalypse, but by blowing up the Mayor — the elected official the Joker missed. That this takes place right after the last words of the National Anthem helps to drive the point home: Bane's hostile takeover is not an attempt to liberate the people but rather to destroy Gotham's democracy and the public sphere that works to sustain it.
While Bane and each of Nolan's other villains attempt to exploit fear for ideological projects, revenge, or simple fun, Batman aims to channel it — to make his opponents' legitimate grievances subjects for debate in an orderly system rather than through violent resolution. To entrust Gotham to heroes "with a face," as he says in The Dark Knight, and to democratize Batman as a symbol that can be embodied by anyone. It's not that Christopher Nolan is taking a side in our political debates. He's simply defending a particular system through which we address them.

Cruising for Adventure
Purpose built to access the inaccessible, we take a look at Damen's incoming SeaXplorer range
To think of "expedition" yachts, ones mind wanders to the likes of the Piriou built motoryacht Yersin, or Perini Navi's spectacular Grace E. Both boast capabilities that cater to the increasing demand for adventure beyond the usual routes of the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
Routes such as the Northwest Passage, mystical polar adventures caked in ice and intrigue are the glint in the eye of expeditionary "yachties", and custom built to accommodate such adventurism are the likes of SeaXplorer.
Currently in development, this unique range of yachts from Dutch firm Damen, will be the world's first private yachts built to the International Maritime Organisation Polar Code (category B).
Three variants at 65, 90 and 100 metres are purpose built both to cruise at ease in the Med and cut through waters capped with up to 1 metre of ice. Facilitating 40 days journey without port call and boasting room for up to two helicopters (on the larger SeaXplorer 100) plus a suite of tenders and toys, including submersibles for exploring beneath the waves, the picture is painted of a high-tech cruiser in which to recreate historic routes of explorers past.

NHN is working with the bill sponsor, Senator Don Gustavson, on an amended bill to strengthen the language by protecting student information/data, including private school and homeschool students.
Please support the bill by going to the "Share Your Opinion" page, https://www.leg.state.nv.us/App/Opinions/78th2015/A/ .
Contact Senate Education Committee Members by fax, email or phone and tell them, "Nevada students deserve a strong records/data privacy protection bill". All communication should of course be polite and courteous, these are our elected officials.
Also please make plans to attend the hearing in either Carson City or Las Vegas. Locations are listed on the Agenda in the bill link.
Link to PDF copy of the following letter.
By way of introduction, Nevada Homeschool Network (NHN) advocates for Nevada families who have chosen to direct the education of their children pursuant to NRS 392.070.
We are writing in regards to SB 126 – Revises provisions relating to education (BDR 34-408).
AN ACT relating to education; requiring the State Board of Education to prescribe quality and evaluation measures or early childhood education programs and prekindergarten programs provided at schools; requiring the State Board to prescribe surveys and assessments to identify certain pupils whose primary language is a language other than English or who are learning to speak two languages simultaneously; requiring certain pupils to be assessed and classified as limited English proficient or English proficient upon enrollment for kindergarten; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
Senate Bill 126 would require the State Board of Education to regulate any early childhood education or prekindergarten program provided at a private, public or charter school in this state based on the recommendations of the Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council. Senate Bill 126 would also require the State Board to prescribe surveys of pupils at the home in order to assess and classify the pupil as limited English proficient or English proficient.
SB 126 infringes upon the fundamental parental right and responsibility to direct the education of their child and increases governmental control of young children in this State. This bill also allows the government to invade the privacy of a citizen's home in pursuit of information via an undefined survey. SB 126 is excessive in its scope, will adversely affect free-market PreK programs by offering free government "competition", saddles private early childhood education programs with government regulation, and categorizes pupils unnecessarily.
1. Parents act in the best interest of the child with regards to choosing when, where and how their child is educated. In this bill private preschools would now be regulated by the State, abolishing the parental right to choose ECE programs that are not controlled by the State.
2. The Nevada Constitution (Article 11 Section 2) specifies the purpose of common schools is instruction but instruction in a school for very young children has been shown in many studies to have detrimental effects. Therefore, increasing State spending on pre-Kindergarten programs is not a wise use of tax-payer money. According to the Governor's office, December 2014, the preschool population will increase by 58% over 4 years.
3. Early childhood programs for children birth through age 4 should solely be the parent's responsibility.
4. Programs offered and regulated by the government that are at first "voluntary" often become "mandatory" in the future. NHN has testified against bills nearly every legislative session over the past decade, aimed to lower the compulsory attendance age from 7 to 6 or even 5 as was the case in 2013.
5. The Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council is appointed by the Governor but does not include a single parent representative; clearly the input of parents regarding the early education of their child has been disregarded in this process and NRS 432A.076, adopted in 2013, is punitive to Nevada families.
6. Private early childhood education and preschool options should not be regulated by the K-12 public school system. Governor Jim Gibbons acknowledged that parents know what's best for their children in his 2009 Veto of SB 378 that sought to establish provisions relating to certain early childhood education programs.
7. This bill also allows for government officials to invade private homes to identify children whose primary language is not English. The home is the sanctuary for the family. The state should not seek entrance to a home without warrant or probable cause of danger to a child or others in the home.
We'd again like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to a recent paper by Scott A. Woodruff, Esq., an attorney with the Home School Legal Defense Association refuting the need for government sponsored ECE programs. No Lasting Gains from Early Education or Preschool extensively documents the failure of early childhood education efforts to produce "lasting gains" in the educational experience of a child which would include both ECE programs, pre-Kindergarten as well as all-day Kindergarten. The paper contains the results of many sources of research, with each item summarized very succinctly and footnoted.
Based on the above, it is our request that you vote NO on this bill to minimize the expansion of formal early childhood academics which are shown by research to be detrimental, costly without benefit, and contrary to parental right.
10 paragraph (d) of subsection 2 of NRS 432A.076.
15 proficient or English proficient upon enrollment for kindergarten.
Parents are the best early childhood educators and efforts should be made to support this vital component of every child's life without government direction. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
We are writing today with regards to SB 25 – Revises provisions relating to public schools (BDR 34-316). Although there are many items of concern in this bill we would specifically like to address Section 2, Item 7 amending NRS 385.175 to add, "Coordinate educational programs for children from birth through prekindergarten" to the Superintendent of Public Instruction's duties.
• NHN believes that parents act in the best interest of the child with regards to choosing when, where and how their child is educated. Free government programs force private schools (and day-care businesses) out of business thereby reducing parental choice, and collect data on the child and family.
• Kindergarten is offered by the public school system for 5 year olds (optional, not compulsory).
• NRS 385.175 clearly limits the Superintendent's responsibilities to the system of K-12 public education.
• The Nevada Constitution (Article 11 Section 2) specifies the purpose of common schools is instruction but instruction for very young children has been shown in many studies to have detrimental effects. Therefore, educational programs for children from birth through age 4 do not, nor should they, fall under the superintendent's purview.
• Participation in programs that at first are "voluntary" often become "mandatory" in the future. NHN and others have fought bills nearly every legislative session over the past decade, at least, to lower the compulsory attendance age from 7 to 6 or even 5 as was the case in 2013.
• At present, there are plenty of private options available to parents seeking to provide additional educational opportunities outside of the home for their children from birth to preschool. Governor Jim Gibbons acknowledged this in his 2009 Veto of SB 378 – Establishes provisions relating to certain early childhood education programs.
We'd also like to direct your attention to a recent paper by Scott A. Woodruff, Esq., an attorney with the Home School Legal Defense Association refuting the need for government sponsored ECE programs. "No Lasting Gains from Early Education or Preschool" extensively documents the failure of early childhood education efforts to produce "lasting gains" in the educational experience of a child which would include both ECE programs as well as all-day Kindergarten. The paper contains the results of many sources of research, with each item summarized very succinctly and footnoted.
NHN requests that the Senate Education Committee delete Section 2, Item 7 of SB 25, allowing parents to continue to maintain full responsibility for the education of their babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. Parents are the best early childhood educators and efforts should be made to support this vital component of every child's life without government direction.
NHN Opposes SB 25. By Tuesday morning, 2/10/15 please do one, two or all three things to block government "education" programs for children, birth to preschool… this a parental right and responsibility!

Home Crisis Responders Campus Security NIST Modeling Tool: Clear Talk for First Responders (Learn More, Video)
NIST Modeling Tool: Clear Talk for First Responders (Learn More, Video)
For first responders, such as firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians, a successful outcome to a mission—and perhaps the difference between life and death for them and those they are helping—depends on their communications system.
Recognizing this critical need, first responders and emergency management officials have been calling for high-speed, LTE (Long-Term Evolution) cellular devices with three public safety "mission-critical voice" capabilities:
"Push-to-talk" for an immediate connection
"One-to-many" allowing an individual to broadcast to a large group, and
"Direct mode" that maintains a walkie-talkie connection when a wireless network is down, blocked or otherwise unavailable.
To make this technology work effectively and ensure consistent product quality, the experts have already started developing standards.
As shown in this video, simple animation visualizes the complex data generated by NIST's new tool for simulating future LTE cellular devices for use in emergency situations.
As the scenario unfolds, the devices and their network are tested by changing numbers of first responders, movement in and out of the of fire scene, priority communication needs, peril situations and other factors that may affect performance. (Courtesy of NIST)
There's just one catch: a device that employs all of these desired features doesn't yet exist.
And without a working device to scientifically evaluate in different emergency situations, it hasn't been easy to design the standards that will optimize its performance.
So, to keep mission-critical voice communications development and standardization moving forward, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is putting a new computer modeling tool on the job.
The NIST tool uses ns-3, an open-source network simulation software, giving researchers the ability to virtually recreate any emergency scenario and draw upon a variety of environmental, structural, technological and human behavioral factors that could impact the performance of future LTE cellular devices.

Models produced by the NIST tool address performance issues such as:
Voice traffic:
Who's talking, blocked or waiting in line to speak at any moment, and how well is the overall conversation flowing
How do first responder movements—such as into and out of buildings, behind trees or next to metal walls—affect transmissions
How easily can additional first responder units join the communications network established by the team initially on the scene, and
Use of protocol emergency buttons:
How effective are these functions that give first responders the ability to break through ongoing communications to request immediate assistance for victims or themselves.
A graphical user interface (GUI) can be used with the NIST tool so that results from the models can be viewed as animations.
Videos with demonstration scenarios showing first responders and the LTE communications protocol in operation during different types of emergencies are available from NIST.
NIST Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) (Image courtesy of NIST)
"We hope that the new modeling tool will be widely used by researchers who want to experiment with different ways to optimize the three key mission-critical voice capabilities, by manufacturers who want to 'field test' device designs without having to build multiple versions, and by emergency management officials who want to educate first responders under their command about the advantages of LTE communications in hazardous situations," said Richard Rouil, a computer engineer in NIST's Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) who helped create the tool.
"Most importantly, the tool makes it possible to develop, test and refine standards for the next generation of emergency response communications devices concurrently with, rather than after their development."
According to Rouil, a collaborative effort with the University of Washington will work toward integrating the NIST module directly into the ns-3 software to enable expansion of the tool's modeling capabilities.
https://www.nist.gov/ctl/pscrFunding for this project comes from a NIST grant awarded in June 2017 to the University of Washington as part of the Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program, a technology advancement effort for public safety communications that also is funding the development of the LTE modeling tool.
The Innovation Accelerator Program, managed by NIST CTL's Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division, provides research, development, testing and evaluation of broadband communications technologies to foster nationwide interoperability among first responders.
The NIST LTE Device-to-Device Communication Model for ns-3 is available for downloading as is the free ns-3 software.
A recent NIST paper provides information on the implementation and validation of the model.

8 Medical Checkups You May Regret Putting Off Any Longer


(CNSNews.com) - The federal government taxed away more money, spent more money and ran a bigger deficit in the first half of fiscal 2015 than it did in the first half of fiscal 2014, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
"The federal government ran a budget deficit of $430 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2015, CBO estimates--$17 billion more than the shortfall recorded in the same span last year," the CBO said in its Monthly Budget Review for March 2015, which was published April 8. "Both revenues and outlays were about 7 percent higher than the amounts recorded in the first six months of fiscal year 2014."
In the first six months of fiscal 2014, the government took in approximately $1,323,000,000,000 in revenue, according to CBO. In the first six months of this fiscal year, it took in approximately $1,420,000,000,000—an increase of $98,000,000,000.
Meanwhile, the federal government spent approximately $1,736,000,000,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2014. It spent approximately $1,851,000,000,000 in the first six months of the fiscal year—an increase of $115,000,000,000 over last year.
Last year, the government ran a deficit of $413 billion in the first six months of the fiscal year. This year, it ran a deficit of $430 billion—a $17 billion increase over last year.
The biggest source of additional tax revenue for the federal government was the individual income tax. In the first six months of fiscal 2014, Americans paid the federal government approximately $585,000,000,000 in individual income taxes. In the first six months of fiscal 2015, Americans paid $642,000,000,000 in individual income taxes—an increase of $57 billion (or 9.7 percent) from fiscal 2014.
Corporate income tax payments had a higher percentage increase than individual income tax payments—but did not yield as much an increase in actual revenue as the individual income tax.
In the first six months of fiscal 2014, businesses paid the federal government approximately $118,000,000,000 in corporate income taxes. In the first six months of fiscal 2015, they paid approximately $133,000,000,000 in corporate income taxes. That was a 12.8 percent increase from 2014, but only an additional $15,000,000,000 in tax revenues.
Payroll tax payments increased only 3.7 percent—but brought the federal government $18,000,000,000 in additional revenues, rising from $490,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2014 to $509,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2015.
Overall tax revenues increased 7.4 percent from the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2015—with total receipts rising from $1,323,000,000,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2014 to $1,420,000,000,000 in the first six months of fiscal 2015.
Despite this windfall in additional tax revenue, the federal government ran a bigger deficit in the first half of this fiscal year because federal spending increased even more than federal tax revenues.
Total federal outlays climbed from $1,736,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2014 to $1,851,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2015.
The $115,000,000,000 increase in federal spending outpaced the $98,000,000,000 increase in federal taxation to result in a $17,000,000,000 higher deficit ($413,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2014 compared to $430,000,000,000 in the first half of fiscal 2015).
Medicaid—which was expanded by Obamacare—was a major force driving increased federal spending.
"Outlays for Medicaid rose by $31 billion (or 22 percent), largely because most of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act that led to increased enrollment in Medicaid went into effect in January 2014 and therefore did not affect the program's spending in the first few months of fiscal year 2014 [which began in October 2013]," said the CBO.
Medicare spending (up $23 billion or 9 percent) and Social Security spending (up $19 billion or 4 percent) also saw large increases.

Govt doesn't yet know how to fix NBN funding blackhole
Follow @renailemay
news The Federal Government this morning was forced to admit it did not yet know how the NBN company would fund the remainder of its rollout and operations through to 2020, with public sector funding drying up and an unclear situation with relation to the NBN company's ability to borrow money privately.
In this week's Federal Budget, the Government revealed it had put together a special taskforce to determine how to fund its modified rollout of the National Broadband Network, with the project's costs ballooning and the public purse running dry of funds to support it.
The Coalition Government has maintained since the 2013 Federal Election that it would cap the public's equity contribution to the NBN project at $29.5 billion, and that its final payment of $8.8 billion to the company would be its last.
To fund the rest of its planned rollout through to 2020, the Budget notes that the NBN company is expected to raise debt from external markets of between $16.5 billion and $26.5 billion (with a base case of $19.5 billion) to complete the rollout of its network.
However, the Budget also warned that this may not be as easy as expected, and that the Government may need to step in, either to provide "interim funding support" or to help the NBN company raise the debt itself (for example, through guaranteeing its debts).
Under sustained questioning this morning in a Budget Estimates session, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said the Government did not yet have the answers on the issue, despite having been aware of the problem for some time.
Cormann stated that it remained government policy to cap public investment in the NBN company at $29.5 billion, and the Department of Finance revealed that it had brought in financial advisory firm Lazard at a cost of $500,000 to assist with determining how the NBN company could raise the rest of the money it needs.
Lazard has been working on the issue with the NBN company and the Departments of Finance and Communications since late 2015 — about six months — but neither Cormann nor the Finance officials were able to confirm the outcome.
"We're only going to be in a position to make relevant judgements when we cross relevant bridges," Cormann said, in response to questions from Shadow- and former Finance Minister Penny Wong.
A Finance official confirmed "some work" had been carried out by Lazard.
Cormann said: "The equity cap is in place for $29.5 billion' our intention is for the NBN to source the remaining funding requirements by sourcing debt from external markets. We've raised that very clearly, and we believe, we're confident that that will be able to be achieved."
However, the Minister added a rider: "We're being open and transparent in disclosing that if certain things that we intend to happen, and believe will happen, don't happen, then obviously we've got to make some further decisions."
Cormann said the Government "can't possibly predict" at this stage what the outcome of the process might be.
Wong pointed out that there was speculation that the NBN company would not be able to raise the required amount of debt from the private sector, forcing the company back on government support to complete the NBN. The Labor Senator pointed out that the NBN company was only currently expecting to make a return on the Government's equity investment of 2.7 percent, which would be too low to attract private funding.
In response, Finance Deputy Secretary John Edge stated that the interest rates on debt would not correlate with the internal rate of return figure of 2.7 percent.
Finance Department Secretary Jane Halton said the Department was not in a position yet to comment on the matter, as preparatory work on the debt raising was "not complete".
You would have thought that the Government and the NBN company would have seen this multi-billion dollar black hole coming and would have done more work on this issue by now … or at least kicked Lazard into gear over the past six months that they've been contracted to examine the situation. The fact that they appear not to have done so is quite concerning, to say the least.
Will the NBN company be able to afford to finish its network construction without extra government funding? Right now we simply don't know.

Can't run a chook raffle in a pub;

Seems to have problems with trouser legs:
No understanding that governments don't run profit-making businesses.
Well gov's can run profit making organisations and they used to, e.g. The power networks etc which were quite well run and provided very affordable power plus profits back to the gov's to spend on other services.
Tinman_au 06/05/2016 at 8:47 pm
I think Gordon was referring to himself?
I could be wrong there, much like the other resident LibTrolls, they just don't make a whole lot of sense when they rant.
"The power networks etc which were quite well run …"
Can't speak for other states, but WA electricity ceased to be well run several decades ago, sometime around 1900 IIRC. These days it's such a liability the WAgov is thinking of (fire)selling it off… Then there was Bright Networks, started by Western Power, which would bundle FTTP with the LV cables. Killed off by WAgov of course, looked a lot like a TU demarcation dispute.
In any case, it seems to be general received wisdom that public service should only break even. If it makes a profit, it's a tax on the peons who use it. But hey, we all want budget surpluses don't we?
In Victoria and SA the power networks provided more than just power, they trained most of the state electricians and provided a decent amount of profit back to both states.
Nah, in WA the gov just told Western Power what to charge, then skimmed the cream off. Then they allowed Western Power to be taken apart in the courts for failing to spend money on maintaining infrastructure and causing fires.
Sometimes it's hard to tell whether we have Labor or Liberal in the driving seat. I've always felt the Feds should have a Department of State Government with the ability to sack overly smelly governments and put Commissioners in to run the show for a season or two…

The Govt doesn't give shit about the funding black hole other than using it to ensure the death of the NBN.

Typical, libs make a mess of infrastructure and don't know how to fix it, well I do, kick this mob out!
If they change their plan (eg from FttN to FTTdp), then they change the funding requirements, and can justify spending more than their 'guaranteed' $29.4b. Its just a politically loaded decision, and if they want to do it (ie change funding because of a change of planning), its one they wont state until after the election.
Can MT remind us again why we wasted all that time or strategic reviews and contract renegotiation when it didn't figure out how to pay for it all. Atleast under Quiqley the business case was starting to pan out with ARP up on predictions and build costs broadly on track.
Would you be happy to invest in a business that was setup to sell ice cream cones then decides after buying the ice cream machines and fridges (ice cream infrastructure) decides ice cream is too expensive to make and then starts buying all the gear to for snow cones, while telling the vendor don't worry about warranty support we are going to maintain your second hand snow cone machines our selves.

Can't help but cynically think that I don't think the LNP expected the NBN to still have been here or at least in a form that required further capitalisation, such as being privatised.
Ah. Yes. The real end game of the LNP government.
I think we all know that the 'special task force' solution will be something along the line of an 'equity injection' by Telstra. $10 billion or so will probably get the NBN across the line, and will be pocket change for Telstra.
Probably get them a 30% chunk or so…

I can't help think, while this might not have been specifically planned, in the event it did happen, the coalition could use it as an excuse to hand off construction to telstra and other private industry. The coalition would simply giving them ownership of the sites they built and sell off pre-existing sites cheaply, slowly downsizing and dissolving NBN into telstra over the years.

Big surprise. Liberal's finally realise that private enterprise does not want to invest into a network infrastructure that has less structure than a pig's breakfast. With the "arguably" bad design and indisputable uncertainty created, primarily by the Liberal party, who would seriously consider investing anything into the project?
Including private sector contractors required to perform the rollout, who have needed to go and find work elsewhere while the political footballs are kicked around.
"Oh I have a big project for you, next year… maybe, but you have to guarantee you have no other commitments while I decide whether it will proceed and how little I will pay you."…. FTTN/FTTdP/FTTH isn't the only problem. Who's going to put it in the ground/air/alternate_dimension.

Even though they are starting to realise private enterprise don't/won't invest in infrastructure like this, they'd still rather die in a ditch than admit the ALP was right in doing the NBN the way they did.

Retailer group looks to launch industry-funded marketing campaign for cycling
by Toby Hill
20Collective says a 'Got Milk" for cycling could boost participation — and sales at all levels of the industry.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — A group of retailers dubbed the 20Collective has launched an initiative to grow cycling participation by establishing an industry-funded "Got Milk"-style marketing campaign for cycling targeted at the general public.
"We're lacking any sort of direct marketing to consumers outside of the point-zero-five percent of consumers who watch the Tour de France," said Ian Christie, 20Collective president and owner of Summit Bicycles with four stores in Northern California.
The 20Collective was born out of a two-year Shimano program launched in 2015 bringing together 20 dealers — representing 5 percent of North American IBD sales — four times annually to examine their soft goods business and service department component sales. The 20Collective idea developed from discussions during the group's meetings.
"While Shimano brought us all together and they've given us a bit of leeway in terms of what we want to discuss, this is not a Shimano-driven initiative," said Scott Helvie, 20Collective's treasurer and chief operating officer of Bicycle Garage Indy, with three stores in the Indianapolis area. "I think they've been very supportive, but their intent of getting this group together wasn't to drive this program that we're trying to put together."
The group is seeking support "at every level of the industry" to create an "industry advancement fund" modeled on efforts that have promoted such industries as RV'ing and fishing through public campaigns, said Alex Obriecht, 20Collective vice president and owner of five-store retailer Race Pace Bicycles in the Baltimore area.
Although the effort is being launched by independent dealers, participation won't be limited to the IBD channel, 20Collective's leaders said.
"It would be our goal to establish a voluntary contribution on a per-bike basis to this marketing fund throughout the industry, whether it's Wal-Mart, or REI, or the IBD, or the Treks, the Giants, the Bianchis, the Jamises and Specialized — long term, a fund that's paid into regularly so it's sustainable year after year," Obriecht said.
Said Christie: "It was clear we don't want to exclude anyone. This isn't an IBD-only issue, and we are all of the opinion — even though we're all IBDs — that we need to advertise cycling as a whole and not exclude online retailers or big-box stores. We need to raise the tide for all boats."

News Category: Global Mental Health Databank
Applied ELSI research at Sage
Sage Bionetworks is known for its innovative approaches to collaborative computational biomedical research. Ten years ago, we started by "just" asking researchers to share their datasets more openly. Quickly, we banded together with like-minded "research parasites" to help grow and formalize the open collaboration for human health. We began to think creatively about how to get more minds on more data, partnering with DREAM Challenges and other innovative cooperative-solving endeavors.
Along the way, we have also been doing innovative applied ELSI research. For example, Sage has been working on eConsent (electronic informed consent) as a way to scale and diversify research participation since 2014. Consistent with our open science ethos, we began our work by consulting with a diverse group of experts: ethicists, technologists, scientists, patient advocates, clinical data specialists, and clinicians. Building from their varied insights, we developed a normative description, laying out our case for what eConsent ought to be: how it should look, how it should work, and why. With the invaluable collaboration of external ethics review boards, we built eConsents based on that research (the "applied" bit), including for several of the first ResearchKit apps. And we've studied our work in eConsent empirically, most recently, through a mixed methods study of the effectiveness of one of the largest Sage-informed eConsent implementations: the All of Us Research Program. Using an applied ELSI approach has allowed us to rapidly design, build, and iterate on a novel approach to informed consent.
In 2019, as we approached our 10th anniversary, we took a look back at all of our work. We found that although our approaches to solving are growing ever more creative, and our data sets are becoming richer and more representative (hurrah for eConsent!!), the folks involved in doing open science weren't necessarily reflecting those gains in diversity. In short, we were falling short. So, we asked ourselves: how can Sage help (re)build the biomedical research ecosystem so that it looks more like the communities it is meant to serve?
One step forward is through exploring questions of community-informed and community-led data governance. Data governance addresses questions like how are data accessed and who gets to control that access. Again, we have taken an applied ELSI approach to address these questions. We completed important conceptual (i.e., problem framing) work in our 2020-2022 strategic planning process. We also did some critical normative research describing data governance design patterns and highlighting specific ethical considerations for novel data use models. And, we completed a qualitative content analysis of key stakeholder feedback about community engagement in big data use.
Now we have a tremendous opportunity for a large-scale investigation of community-driven data governance through the Global Mental Health Databank, a partnership with the Mental Health Priority Area of Wellcome Trust. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, we will empirically evaluate both acceptability and preference for novel data governance structures that give real voice to those banking their data. This will allow us to build data governance systems that balance community data sharing preferences with the open science ambitions of researchers.
We are enthusiastic about the innovation our applied ELSI approach is enabling in how personal data is collected, managed, and used for biomedical research. We invite you to join us as we work to design, build, and refine representative, fair, and inclusive data governance practices: Share your ideas here or send us a note through Twitter (@SageBio or @MegDoerr). We know better science happens when we work together.
More on ELSI research:
The field of ELSI (ethical, legal, and social implication) research grew out of the Human Genome Project in the 1990s, and has rapidly expanded to include disciplines beyond human genetics. Drawing together scholars from many existing disciplines, ELSI researchers employ both empirical and non-empirical methods of inquiry, exploring not only "what is" but also "what ought to be" – describing values and meaning in biomedical research practice. Empirical approaches used in ELSI research include qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods. Non-empirical methods include conceptual (questions of meaning) and normative (questions of value) methods (see here for a great review).
Expanding the Community
Adapted from Ben Logsdon
By Meg Doerr and Lara Mangravite
Since our founding, Sage Bionetworks has worked to expand the community of solvers using biomedical data to advance human health. In our 2020-2022 strategic plan, we committed to broadening the circle further by increasing representation across the research life cycle.
To this end, Sage has undertaken a number of scientific-allyship projects. In January 2020, we released a white paper describing our inclusive framework for qualifying solvers from around the world for access to biomedical data within Synapse, Sage's data sharing and collaboration platform. In July 2020, we published the results of the first phase of DeCLR (Developing Pathways for Community-Led Research with Big Data) — a collaborative research project with Joon-Ho Yu (University of Washington) to develop a framework for meaningfully empowering communities in big-data analysis and interpretation.
Further, we recently announced a partnership with the Wellcome Trust's Mental Health Priority Area to design, build, and assess community-driven governance structures for a databank of mental health data indicators from youth around the world. We are writing today to share some of our early learnings from the design of the quantitative arm of that study. In this arm, youth will be recruited to contribute both passive and survey data via a study app to a global databank. As they join, our plan is that participants will be randomized to different data governance models. But what models should we test?
Building from our previous normative research data governance design patterns, we narrowed the choices to more open data sharing models. But a host of options remained. We engaged panels of youth advisors and data-usability experts from around the globe to help us with the experimental design. We broke down the key data governance questions into a typology for their discussion:
Figure by Carly Marten/Sage Bionetworks
Interestingly, we found broad agreement between youth advisors and data usability experts on four of the seven data governance questions.
Who can access the data? Nearly all agreed that open data access was ideal, with many youth highlighting data access as a social justice issue.
Can the data be seen in an easy-to-use format? In keeping with broad and equitable access, there was strong consensus that there should be some sort of a data browser or query engine to facilitate data exploration by a wide audience.
What do people have to do before they can access the data? There was a strong desire among youth and ethics-oriented data usability advisors for an interlocking system of identity verification, targeted ethics training, and contracting as mechanisms to guard against "bad guys." Youth were opposed to researchers having to pay a fee for data access, citing fees as a way of reinforcing global inequity in data access and use.
Who takes on the cost of managing the data? Speaking of money and inequity, advisors highlighted that funders should be prepared to shoulder the bulk of the cost for data hosting. They did allow that some cost sharing with researchers might be okay — for example in the case of commercial use of data.
The three questions on which there was disagreement highlight where we need to turn our attention for the quantitative study arm's experimental design.
How can people see the data? Youth strongly preferred "sandboxing" data in a secure server or releasing only a synthetic data set (i.e., model-to-data), with not a single youth advisor advocating for data download. Meanwhile, the vast majority of data usability experts strongly preferred allowing data download.
Who controls the data? While everyone agreed someone should control the data, there was a lot of great discussion on who exactly that should be. Advisors were quick to highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each model. For example, if the "community decides," who is the community?
What kind of research can people do with the data? There was no debate on requiring researchers to follow research ethics guidelines (phew!). However, the youth advisors thought there should be some additional restrictions on data use, for example restricting profit making from the data.
We are thrilled to have this opportunity for empirical exploration of community-informed and community-lead data governance. We are taking these learnings and building out a study design to test these points of disagreement. We look forward to sharing our findings with you in the months to come!
The Global Mental Health Databank – Practicing Better Science Together
At Sage, we build responsible practices for data sharing in health research. By combining policy and technology, we work to ensure data can be safely used across institutes. We do this because broad data resources and interdisciplinary teams are necessary to understand the complexities of human health, and we need to use this kind of information to improve people's experiences in the health system.
We have been successful in stimulating collaborative science across teams of researchers. But we recognize that our approaches to data sharing haven't included everyone who should be part of the conversation. Patient advocates and community-based organizations have asked us for many years why we don't prioritize participant involvement. Indeed, there are a wide range of research opportunities that are only possible with direct involvement of the individuals contributing the data. We haven't had a good answer.
Researchers simply can't keep excluding those who provide the data. While we at Sage are partial to the ethical arguments for this, there are plainly scientific arguments as well. As data collection creeps out of the lab and into our homes, researchers will not recruit and engage diverse cohorts if the people in the study are treated as subjects, not partners.
In our own work we focus on "real-world evidence" – how to collect, govern, and analyze a wide range of extremely personal data about our everyday lives, including medical care, daily habits, self-management practices and lived experience. What is the value proposition that would convince anyone to contribute these kinds of data to research? How broadly are people willing distribute data collected about their daily lives? How do these tradeoffs look to people who aren't traditionally asked their opinion about tradeoffs?
The challenge then is to create a data governance system that empowers people to be active partners in managing the way that their data is collected, shared, or used in research.
This is why I am so excited about the new partnership we've just formed with Miranda Wolpert and the Mental Health Priority Area at Wellcome Trust. We're going to build – and test – that data governance system.
The Global Mental Health Databank project seeks to research strategies – active ingredients – that youth around the world can use to self-manage anxiety and depression, to develop a system that guides youth to those strategies that they are most likely to find useful. To be clear, our project is to design the governance for this kind of databank. We'll be testing out the ways that participants want to govern such a databank – we are not conducting the research on mental health!
To be clear, our project is to design the governance for this kind of databank.
Doing this will require active partnership with both researchers and youth to help collect the data needed to answer the question of "what works for whom and why" for mental health management. A data sharing system designed for these purposes must meet the needs both of youth with lived experience in mental health and of mental health researchers. Participants and researchers are often interested in different questions – both of which have value. Just as researcher-led programs have often overlooked participant needs and interests, participant-led programs may miss subtleties of statistics and biology that are important to researchers.
Over the next two years, we will work together with youth and researchers to evaluate the feasibility of successfully implementing a participant-led databank for global mental health research that enables the collection, sharing and use of data from youth across three countries – South Africa, India, and the United Kingdom. We will run this study as an experiment in participant-led data governance designed to address several key questions: What value do youth find in participating in this kind of databank and how does that vary across individuals? Is youth involvement in research impacted by their control over how their data is collected, shared, and used? What levels of oversight do they wish to have? Do these considerations have an impact on what types of data they are willing to contribute? What do they wish to do with these data and what support do they need to achieve their goals? How do the preferences of youth and the preferences of researchers intersect?
I am thankful to be collaborating with a team of amazing researchers with deep expertise in youth mental health: Drs. Zuki Zingela and Melvyn Freeman in South Africa, Dr. Soumitra Pathare in India, and Dr. Tamsin Ford and Dr. Mina Fazel in the UK. These individuals work directly with school-based youth on the management of mental health. Together, we will evaluate the interests of youth in engaging with a databank program of this sort. We are also joined by two research teams from the University of Washington, Drs. Pamela Collins and Pat Areán who have expertise in global mental health collaboratives and in digital mental health assessment, respectively.
Our team is committed to embarking on this journey in partnership with youth. To build a system that meets the needs of youth and researchers, we need both perspectives to be involved right from the beginning. To this end, our first action has been to hire young adults onto the team to co-develop this work with these researchers. They will be supported by a series of panels of youth with lived experience of mental health in each country who can provide a diverse set of perspectives to inform the project.

Description: An exposition of the "Revival Psalm" that emphasizes the sovereignty of God in Revival and in salvation. "Human faith" cannot save the soul; faith unto salvation is a gift from God. Revival cannot be produced by human endeavor; only God Himself can do that. The Lord initiates Revival; but man must respond. But Campbell, a Highland Calvinist, warns against extreme doctrines of sovereignty that deny human responsibility.
Duncan Campbell is always worth the listen. This message is no different. Quality is such you need to listen carefully, but it is powerful on the sovereignty of God in revival.

Army makes history by putting Muslim in charge of 14,000 US soldiers' spiritual needs
by JohnMcTernan · March 1, 2017
John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
The President must get generals in place who will not allow this. The ones who did this are holdovers from Obama. Islam is spiritual death, and it is direct hate speech against Christians. How can he "minister" to Christians when Islam attacks Christianity! The following is just one Sura from the Koran that attacks Christianity:
Sura 4.171 O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only one God; far be It from His glory that He should have a son, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, and Allah is sufficient for a Protector.
May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

After a ceremony this summer, Lt. Col. Khallid Shabazz will become the first Muslim division-level chaplain in the history of the U.S. military – a Muslim spiritual leader for more than 14,000 mostly Christian soldiers
Army makes history by putting Muslim in charge of 14,000 US soldiers' spiritual needs 02/28/17
"In January, Lt. Col. Khallid Shabazz received the call every Army chaplain dreams of, the call that validates years of intense study and hard work toward keeping the U.S. military in good spiritual health.
He was offered the job of chaplain for an entire division, an honor for anyone in his field but a milestone in his case. After a ceremony this summer, Shabazz will become the first Muslim division-level chaplain in the history of the U.S. military – a Muslim spiritual leader for more than 14,000 mostly Christian soldiers.
Shabazz, who's dedicated his life to working across religious lines, found it hard to keep calm as he received the news at his desk on Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington.
"I'm on the phone saying, 'Thank you, I appreciate it. I'll serve honorably,' and then I hang up the phone and I'm jumping all around like a little kid," Shabazz, 48, recalled in interviews in February. "I was running around the office saying, al hamdulillah, al hamdulillah, praise be to God!"
Extremist Muslims' One-Way Street 02/25/17 The Muslims play the Left in the West like a fiddle. It is pitiful to see how easy it is to manipulate the West. It is almost like the Left wants to be abused by the Muslims.
It will be very interesting to see what President Trump's extreme vetting is. If he holds the Muslims to accepting Jews and Israel, along with denying Sharia law, not many will get into America. We need vetting like this.
Psalm 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
"Extremist Muslims' understanding of freedom is a one-way street: Freedoms, such as religious rights, are "good" and must be defended if they are intended for Muslims — often where Muslims are in minority. But they can simply be ignored if they are intended for non-Muslims — often in lands where Muslims make up the majority.
Many Muslim countries, apparently, already have travel bans against other Muslims, in addition to banning Israelis.
Look at Saudi Arabia. Deportation and a lifetime ban is the minimum penalty for non-Muslims trying to enter the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Given the state of non-Muslim religious and human rights, and the sheer lack of religious pluralism in most Muslim countries, why do Muslim nations suddenly become human rights champions in the face of a ban on travel to the U.S.?
Meanwhile, Muslims will keep on loving the "infidels" who support Muslim rights in non-Muslim lands, while keeping up intimidation of the same "infidels" in their own lands."
Hard Left/ Islam/ American Politics
Sean Hannity Debate On Extreme Vetting 02/27/17 I enjoyed watching this with all of the expected denials and lies by the Muslims and those who support Islam. The information below is about how Islam allows Muslims to lie in advancing Islam. You can't believe what anyone who is a Muslims tells you. Lying to the infidel is part of Islam.
"…the Quran was spotlighted saying it's OK to lie to 'infidels' and to kill those that are their enemy – the 'People of the Book' (Christians and Jews). This was particularly significant as liberal-leaning publications and mainstream media tend to shy away from anything that puts Islam in a poor light."
"Westerners will never completely wrap their minds around a religion that so readily embraces death much more than it loves the gift of life. Another major difference is the ethics of lying – something clearly condoned in Islam. In Christianity, #9 of the Ten Commandments is unambiguous about not lying. Islam has no such compunctions and permits at least six different types of lies.
1. Taqiyya: deceit for the purpose of spreading Islam.
2. Kitman: deceit by omission – telling someone a partial truth or a gross distortion of it.
3. Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity – a doctrine that allows lying in virtually all circumstances – including to fellow Muslims and by swearing to Allah – provided the liar is creative enough to articulate his deceit in a way that is true to him.
4. Taysir: deceit through facilitation, not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia.
5. Darura: deceit through necessity, allowing to engage in something Haram or forbidden. Darura says that if you are forced to do something un-Islamic, you will not be called to account for your actions in this world or in the hereafter.
6. Muruna: temporary suspension of Sharia in order that Muslim immigrants appear moderate.
Few Westerners know that the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood revived the doctrine of muruna, which literally means "stealth" or "flexibility." It is far worse than taqiyya, since it sanctions all prohibitions that block Muslim interests, even blasphemous ones. It allows Muslims to sow division and confusion in the Western world and was designed to catapult and advance Sharia by using Western means. Muruna allows Muslims to break their own codes to avoid detection like shave off their beards, wear western clothing, or even drink alcohol to blend in.
One other type of muruna allows what amounts to legalized prostitution. "A Sunni Muslim male may enter into a contract with a woman … for sexual gratification without the financial obligation necessary to maintain a wife. As a consequence, the sin of adultery never takes place because the sex contract is an official marriage license."
Islam/ Christianity
Evangelist Franklin Graham at the National Prayer Breakfast
Franklin Graham Issues Urgent Call to Prayer After Radical Islamic Threat 02/28/17 This is not new to Egypt. The Muslims have been killing Christians going very far back. ISIS may intensify the murdering, but Coptics have been subject to Muslim terror, even without ISIS.
In my ministry Abba Father's International Fellowship, the Muslims are attacking our pastors in Uganda, Kenya and Pakistan. Islam is an extremely violent religion and we can't let the Hard Left lie and promote Islam in America. We must stand against it at all costs or America will end up just like Europe.
Revelation 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
"Evangelist Franklin Graham issued an urgent call to prayer for our brothers and sisters in Egypt.
Coptic Christians, one of the oldest branches of Christianity, are under attack. The Islamic State issued a video warning recently threatening to wipe them out completely.
"Christians are being killed for their faith around the world. Here's what's happening in Egypt," Graham begins his call to prayer.
"The Islamic State stormed into the home of a plumber and shot him to death in front of his wife and children on Thursday. A few days ago, a teacher was shot to death by masked gunmen. One man was beheaded and another set on fire. All in the name of Islam. In a video earlier this week, the Islamic State vowed to step up attacks against the Coptic Christian minority, describing them as infidels. Hundreds have fled their homes for safety. One Coptic resident said, 'I'm not going to wait for death.' ISIS wants to exterminate them—wipe them out—because they bear the name of Christ," Graham continued."
As the EU Has Done to Israel
Anti-Semitic graffiti
Jews Under Assault in Europe 02/25/17 In Europe, it is now just like 1938 with the Nazis. The Jews must leave or at least begin making plans to leave Europe. With all of the Muslims pouring into Europe, plus the homegrown Jew-haters, there is no hope for the Jews in Europe.
God has turned Europe over to judgment. Europe is not like America where we have a Christian base that could cry out to the Lord. The Lord has not turned us completely over to judgment, but Europe is under his wrath, and the millions of Muslims pouring into Europe is proof of his severe judgment.
The Europeans seem to have an inability to learn from history. Just 80 years ago, it was the Nazis, while now it is the Muslims! If history is a warning, the Europeans vicious hatred of the Jews is a prelude to WW3, just as it was for both WW1 and WW2.
Proverbs 28:5 Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.
"A German court actually ruled that firebombing a place where Jews worship is somehow different from attacking Jews.
Why was the Israeli embassy not attacked, rather than a synagogue whose worshippers were presumably not Israeli? Presumably the worshippers were German. What happened in the German court was pure Nazi-think and the most undisguised antisemitism: that Jews are supposedly not Germans.
Meanwhile, another German Court again rejected an action against your friendly neighborhood "sharia police."
In Germany, it seems, firebombing synagogues is merely "anti-Israeli" even if there are no Israelis there, and "police" who use Islamic sharia law — without legal authority and within a system of law that persecutes women, Christians, Jews and others — are acceptable and legal.
The anti-Semitism facing Jews at UK universities led the Baroness Deech to declare British University campuses "no-go zones" for Jews.
Simply defining and identifying anti-Semitism is only the start. It is also necessary to start tackling the anti-Semitic attitudes of Islamic communities across Europe and the attitudes of immigrants coming to our nations. What needs to be made clear is that you are welcome here."
Hard Left/ One-World Paganism
Protesters Freak Out, Yell "Lucifer!" After GOP Town Hall Opens With A Prayer 02/25/17 Make sure that you listen to the short video of the prayer. It is complete chaos until the end when you can hear the prayer ending in the "name of Jesus." The demons can't take it and the people go wild! It is like a spontaneous uproar. Truly we are not warring against flesh and blood.
The spirit of antichirst was dealt a severe setback and hell is howling right now.
Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
"Liberal protesters became enraged when a Louisiana town hall with Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy opened with a prayer earlier this week, screaming at the chaplain as he tried to lead the crowd in prayer.
The protesters, who were there with a local chapter of anti-Trump group Indivisible, can be heard groaning and shouting as the chaplain says, "In God we trust." One man can be heard saying, "Pray on your own time!" Others shouted incredulously, "Prayer? Prayer?"
Video of the event, first reported by The Washington Free Beacon, reveals one woman shouting the name "Lucifer" while the chaplain invokes God's name. Other, non-protesting attendees can be heard trying to shush the protesters.
Protesters can be heard shouting about "separation of church and state" throughout the prayer. They became especially furious when the chaplain closed the prayer "in Jesus's name."
Milo Yiannopoulos addresses the media during a news conference in New York
Yes, Childhood Sexual Abuse Often Does Contribute to Homosexuality 02/27/17 We need to guard our children and grandchildren as never before. As the homosexual agenda becomes more mainstream, the reprobates are trying to legitimatize pedophilia.
In my ministry of praying for the brokenhearted, I've prayed for huge numbers who were sexually assaulted when young, with great results. So many were healed by the Lord and set free. If you need prayer, please email me at: [email protected] and put brokenhearted in the subject line.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
"Similarly, the renowned gay activist Larry Kramer opined, "In those cases where children do have sex with their homosexual elders … I submit that often, very often, the child desires the activity, and perhaps even solicits it, either because of a natural curiosity … or because he or she is homosexual and innately knows it. … And unlike girls or women forced into rape or traumatized, most gay men have warm memories of their earliest and early sexual encounters; when we share these stories with each other, they are invariably positive ones."
That's why "man-boy love" has been celebrated in homosexual culture through the centuries, that's why there's a page listing "Historical pederastic couples" on a gay Wikipedia site, and that's why George Takei could speak glowingly of his first sexual encounter at the age of 13 (with a 19-year-old male camp counselor), at a time when he admits he didn't know he was gay.
In this light, the outrageous statement by philosopher Michael Foucalt, arguing for lowering the age of consent, doesn't sound as outrageous: "It is quite difficult to lay down barriers [particularly since] it could be that the child, with his own sexuality, may have desired the adult."
Ah yes, it was the child asking for it again. This too is sickening beyond words."
Graham: Planned Parenthood fundraiser akin to funding 'Nazi death camp' 02/27/17 In the article, you will see that the Bush family is tied with PP. They are part of the political establishment and I am so glad that they are out of power. I think the highest of Franklin Graham because he is bold and stands for the truth.
"Franklin Graham, the president and CEO of the humanitarian aid mission, Samaritan's Purse, and one of the world's best-known Christian leaders, slammed an upcoming Planned Parenthood fundraiser that's going to be keynoted by former president George W. Bush's daughter, Barbara, as akin to raising money for the Nazis during World War Two.
In a Facebook post, Graham wrote: "Planned Parenthood is the #1 abortion provider in the United States. Raising funds for this organization is like raising money to fund a Nazi death camp—like Auschwitz, except for innocent babies in their mother's wombs! Reports say they perform over 300,000 abortions per year. And this is the organization whose employees were caught on video trying to sell baby body parts over wine. Disgusting."
His words were posted above a link to a story that highlighted how Bush's daughter Barbara is set to deliver a speech at the Planned Parenthood fundraiser – and not just any speech, but the keynote address.
Barbara Pierce Bush is the co-founder and CEO of Global Health Corps, an organization that has in the past given high marks to Planned Parenthood. And while traveling to Fort Worth this week, Bush will stop in for Planned Parenthood's annual fundraising lunch and deliver the main speech of the day."

President Trump: Oscars 'Were Focused so Hard on Politics' They Could Not Get the Basics of the Ceremony Right 02/27/17
Proverbs 26:2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
What came to mind was that at Friday midnight, the wicked organized to curse President Trump, and anyone who supported him. This means us!
Hollywood is full of every sin you can think of including satan worship and promoting both the occult and new age. It is really ironic that Sunday the Oscars were in complete chaos!
The curses directed towards the President ranged from death to confusion in order to stop his agenda. Well, it looks like the confusion they tried to place against the President came right back upon them! I didn't watch the show but it was full a chaos, so the curse came over Hollywood!
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Yup,it's me again…hope you don't mind.Along with Franklin Graham,brother John and Georgeann are also fierce warrior's for the Lord…Thank you.Thank you for just plain putting the truth out here for all of us.I pray also for the persecuted Church worldwide,that Christ would be with them in their suffering,and that the Church would raise the banner of Christ the Lord,for all to see.Also,that God would,on their behalf,send protecting Angel's to throw fear into the enemie's camp.Let the enemie's of Christ,wherever they may be found,turn to His Salvation's call,or if fit for the fire,feel the heat unto destruction,in Jesus great Name…Amen.

Respond all the time, I love to read what you write!
Georgann Ryan says:
Thanks for the encouraging remarks, Dan. Your comments always are appreciated – as are you, fellow servant.
Thank you brother John and Georgann for always telling it like it really is. I stopped watching the main stream media a long time ago and i only visit sites like yours to get my news. The spirit of lawlessness is rampant and the demons are fiercer than ever. The spiritual battle is on. They (the left) cannot tolerate the name of Jesus or anything biblical. There is a massive delusion and it's only a matter of time before the restrainer restrains no more and we Christians get called home. Blessings.
God bless you! Thanks for reading and commenting; it's encouraging to get feedback from fellow believers, to let us know the message is reaching those who are awake and praying.
I know some of my post's or comment's are 'out there',but you have to admit,they might make you think.It's good to see other's comment as well.The 'left'is really delusional.They are,without Christ's help,unable to make sound judgment's or good choice's.Their 'choice's alway's involve taking something away from someone else,like LIFE,liberty,or the chance to stand up with truth on our side and be seen,heard or believed.They have an appetite for accruing power,as if on a [power trip].They loooooove death.It is like it's stamped on their forehead.They can kiss a tree and kill a baby,without even seeing how screwed up that 'mindset?' really is.We share some blame too,as the mainstream church is gutted and powerless as it lick's at the heel's of men.We hold to truth as virtue,unchanging and constant.The world say's diversity is it's high calling.They say they don't believe in God,and say…Don't Judge!!,all the while having made themselve's a little god with that judgment call.This world and it's lust's are fading fast….only what's done for Christ…that will last.I'm humbled and honored to be in the rank's of the Redeemed,with all of you. And…Christ will have the Victory and final Word.
