Yeshu ha-Notsri as founder of Christianity—Pt. 15: Dositheus = John = Jesus = Simon Magus
Posted on 07/13/2020 by René Salm
Posted in Christian origins, Dositheus	permalink
In the preceding post I made a bold claim: the founder of Christianity, Yeshu ha-Notsri, is identical to Dositheus, the Samaritan arch-heretic. If I am accused (or lauded?) in future for being the inventor of this claim (which must appear monstrous to ordinary Christians), I accept full blame (or credit)—for I don't believe it has been made before.
One objection that immediately arises to the above claim is that Dositheus is generally dated to the first century CE. But it is not a serious objection. The conventional dating of Dositheus depends on the dating of so many other mythical characters (see below), including John the Baptist, Simon Magus, and Jesus of Nazareth himself—all of whom have been placed in the first century by the fabulous Christian documents that come down to us. And I am not simply referring to the canonical gospels, for Dositheus does not appear in them. Rather, scholars who are acquainted with Dositheus at all know him primarily from the Pseudo-Clementine literature, where Dositheus and Simon Magus are disciples of John the Baptist and vie for leadership of the fellowship after John's death (Hom 2.24), and where those figures have the ability to fly through the air, etc. (Hom 2.32).
While we can (and must) dismiss the miraculous and magical aspects of these accounts, we can still glean useful information from them. I here cite the pertinent passage from the Clementine Homilies in full:
He being absent [1]in Egypt for the practice of magic, and John being killed, Dositheus desiring the leadership, [2]falsely gave out that Simon was dead, and succeeded to the seat. But Simon, returning not long after, and strenuously holding by the place as his own, when he met with Dositheus did not demand the place, knowing that a man who has attained power beyond his expectations cannot be removed from it. Wherefore with pretended friendship he gives himself for a while to the second place, under Dositheus. But taking his place after a few days among the [3]thirty fellow-disciples, he began to malign Dositheus as not delivering the instructions correctly. And this he said that he did, not through unwillingness to deliver them correctly, but through ignorance. And on one occasion, Dositheus, perceiving that this artful accusation of Simon was dissipating the opinion of him with respect to many, so that they did not think that he was [4]the Standing One, came in a rage to the usual place of meeting, and finding Simon, struck him with a staff. But it seemed to pass through the body of Simon as if he had been smoke. Thereupon Dositheus, being confounded, said to him, 'If you are the Standing One, I also will worship you.' Then Simon said that he was; and Dositheus, knowing that he himself was not the Standing One, fell down and worshipped; and associating himself with the twenty-nine chiefs, he raised Simon to his own place of repute; and thus, not many days after, Dositheus himself, while he (Simon) stood, fell down and died. (Cl. Hom 2.24)
– [Point 1] Beginning with the very first words of this account, we learn that Dositheus was absent "in Egypt." This agrees with what Abu'l Fath, a millennium later, tells us about Dositheus, as cited in the preceding post: "Now the origin of Dusis was from the mixed rabble who went out with the children of Israel from the land of Egypt to Nablus."
Nablus, we recall, is the latter day name for Shechem, the religious center of Samaria. As mentioned in the preceding post, Epiphanius also tells us that Dositheus "defected to the Samaritans and founded this sect" (Pan 13), that is, the sect of the Dosithean Samaritans.
– [2] Simon Magus is well known to Christian literature. Eusebius writes that "Nearly all the Samaritans, and a few of other nations, worship him, confessing him as the Supreme God" (Eccl. Hst. 13). In the Clementine passage above, upon his return from Egypt Dositheus usurped the leadership of Simon Magus' fellowship, presumably setting himself up as the "Supreme God" (or megale dynamis, "great Power"). Regardless of how much of this is fiction, the Clementine account seems to provide additional evidence that Yeshu/Dositheus, upon his return from Egypt, indeed went to Samaria.
For the moment we must defer interesting questions such as "What was the pre-existing congregation that Dositheus usurped?" or "Who was this figure 'John the Baptist' who died just before Dositheus attempted to take over the fellowship?" However, it can be noted that—according to the above passage—John has died, but Dositheus makes out that Simon is the one who is dead. This bizzarre situation is a clue that the writer is conflating two figures, John the Baptist and Simon Magus. But, as the account continues, Simon Magus 'comes back to life' as it were. He wasn't really dead. Of course, similar confusion regarding Jesus' death also existed—Jewish texts such as the Toldoth Yeshu claim that his body was stolen away by disciples (to feign the resurrection), and to this day Muslims believe that Jesus did not really die on the cross but only appeared to do so. I mention these tangential details because they highlight the porousness, the overlapping of personae and traditions that took place already in early Christianity. Things were not nearly as definite as the textbooks today might lead us to believe!
– [3] "thirty fellow-disciples." The number thirty (= days in the month) is lunar symbolism, in contrast to the solar symbolism of Jesus having twelve disciples. In ancient esoteric religious traditions, the moon was the great revealer, able to shine in the night/darkness of ignorance. In short, it was a symbol of gnosis, of that which is hidden in contrast to that which is manifest. We recall that the Nazarene, in Mandean (and gnostic) religion is "the revealer of secret wisdom," and that one of the meanings of natsar (from which "Nazarene") is "to keep secret" (BDB 666; cf. "hidden things" netsuroth at Isa 48:6).
Thus, the word nazarene is intimately involved with esoteric, lunar, and gnostic symbolism—and, apparently, also with the Samaritans, for shamar (from which "Samaritan") is a synonym for natsar (from which "Nazarene"). Both mean (among other things) "keep, preserve," and the Samaritans consider themselves the true keepers/preservers of the Law.
What is less known, and more apposite for our present purposes, is that the Dositheans were known in antiquity sometimes as Samaritans, sometimes as Nazarenes, and sometimes even as Mandeans. Thus, Theodore bar Konai (8th cent.) wrote that the natsraia of his time were in some places called Mandeans and in other places "followers of Dositheus." The literature familiar to Christian scholars, however, generally pigeon-holes the Dositheans as 'a Samaritan heresy.' In fact, the latter is also the view that the Samaritans themselves hold.
Epiphanius exalts Dositheus by calling him the "founder of the Samaritans" (Pan 13.1.3). This incredible claim will strike us as a great exaggeration, for nobody remembers Dositheus today, and the Samaritans themselves would strenuously object to this assertion of their (heretical) origin. But Epiphanius actually goes much farther: for him "Samaritans" included many sects that we hardly consider Samaritan, including the Essenes and other baptist sects (Pan 9–13). Epiphanius writes that "the whole nation were called Samaritans" (Pan 9.1.1). All this is quite astonishing, and the chief culprit responsible for all these heresies, according to Epiphanius, was none other than Dositheus!
– [4] "the Standing One." The Greek form is ho Estos, but the term has deep connotations going far back in religious literature. The Hebrew root is amad (ayin-mem-daleth) and it is used in Jewish scripture primarily in the sense of "standing before the Lord," that is, being found worthy of God's presence. Theologically, then, "the Standing One" is proven, blameless, and spiritually successful. Moses, Aaron, and Elijah all stood before the Lord.
"The Standing One," however, is a locution not found in literature before Christian times. No prior tradition applies the concept of such worthiness itself exclusively to a single person. The concept is an aberration, but it is clear that the Clementine author of the above citation understood the exclusive nature of the epithet, for Simon Magus and Dositheus vie with one another over which of them is the Standing One—implying that only one person with that title can possibly exist. It is as much an aberration as Jn 14:3, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me"—thus effectively closing off all other routes to salvation and acknowledging Jesus as the sole "Standing One." I suspect that the Clementine author was indeed influenced by the Hellenist gospel tradition in this matter.
Esoteric gnostic traditions had much to say about "standing" which I have touched upon previously on this site. In the Book of Joshua priests stand in the middle of the Jordan River, and even the stones from that hallowed ground were worthy of religious veneration (Josh 4:9). Why the stones? Because only they can "stand" (i.e. endure) in the middle of the sacred river (of gnosis, for the gnostic traditions). Thus, standing is related to endurance, firmness, and surely linked to the name Cephas/Peter in the gospels. Jewish scripture also knows this meaning quite well, for the noun amad means "pillar," sometimes leading the children of Israel in the desert and thus representative of God.
Quite overlooked, and yet supremely important for understanding Christian origins, is that amad, "stand," in Aramaic also means "baptize." I have written about this here. What this means is that "John the Baptist" = "John the Standing One." This understanding of John has been completely suppressed since ancient times. The Pseudo-Clementines no longer recognize John in this way. He is simply "the baptist," and the (now heretical) aspects of "standing" in water (= gnosis) were shunted off to rank heretics like Simon Magus and Dositheus.
As we are slowly discovering, however, the different strands of this riddle are resolving one into the other:
Yeshu's name was "John."
John was "the Baptist" and also "the Standing One" (amad = both "stand" and "baptize")
John = Yonathan = Dositheus ("Gift of God")
Dositheus = the Standing One = ho Estos = Simon Magus
Conclusion: Yeshu ha-Notsri = Jesus = John the Baptist = Dositheus = Simon Magus.

Research analysts have discovered what they believe to be sensitive documents relating to the Pentagon's drone, tank and tactical programs for sale on the dark web. The manuals were obtained through a common exploit that could have been avoided with a simple password update, according to the researchers.
Cybersecurity firm Recorded Future reported its findings on Tuesday in a blog post outlining its discovery process.
While monitoring hacking forums on the dark web, the firm's analysts came across an English-speaking hacker who was offering documentation related to the MQ-9 Reaper drone — the military's preferred unmanned aircraft for offensive missions.
The documents included Reaper maintenance course books and the list of airmen assigned to Reaper AMU.
The analysts made contact with the person offering the documents and found someone who was either careless or inexperienced.
The seller told the researchers that they had discovered the documents through a popular search engine for internet-connected devices, Shodan, to locate routers that don't have the proper configuration set up. They asked for $US150-$US200 ($204-$271) due to the documents "being classified information".
According to Record Future, they aren't classified but are only available internally for the use of the military and contractors. Still, they could offer adversaries an opportunity to "assess technical capabilities and weaknesses in one of the most technologically advanced aircrafts," the researchers wrote.
The same seller later advertised another cache of documents that included "more than a dozen various training manuals [that] describe improvised explosive device defeat tactics, an M1 ABRAMS tank operation manual, a crewman training and survival manual, and tank platoon tactics," Recorded Future wrote.
Once again, these were not believed to be classified materials but most were said to only be available to the military and its contractors.
Recorded Future got in contact with authorities and continues to work with them on the case.
In the first instance, involving the documents related to drones, the hacker told analysts exactly which captain of an aircraft maintenance squadron was the target. The victim was not identified publicly, but a redacted copy of a certificate acknowledging the captain's recent completion of a "Cyber Awareness Challenge" is included in the report.
The source of the second document dump was not identified, but analysts say "they appear to be stolen from the Pentagon or from a US Army official".
Barysevich told Buzzfeed that "the exposure could be much bigger than these documents being stolen". That's because they were obtained by exploiting a vulnerability in Netgear routers that the company warned about in 2016. By default, the routers are susceptible to malicious attacks and need to be updated with a user-created password.
Recorded Future found over 4000 devices internet-connected devices that are still vulnerable in its latest scan. If you're using a Netgear router, you can find step-by-step instructions for protecting yourself here.

Emirates news agency – World Logistics Passport expands to China for the first time
By Virginia A. Calvo	 On Dec 8, 2021
DUBAI, December 8, 2021 (WAM) – The World Logistics Passport (WLP) enters China for the first time by signing a memorandum of understanding with the state-owned Fujian Port Group, which is joining the freight loyalty program as that partner. The WLP has also agreed to join the China Silk Road Maritime Alliance. The WLP will provide Chinese companies with faster and more profitable access to markets in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and across Africa, with traders and freight forwarders able to increase their trade from 5 to 10% per year on average.
While welcoming Fujian Port Group as its premier partner in China, the WLP is also partnering with the Silk Road Maritime Alliance (SRMA), an alliance of 99 ports and 27 countries. The SRMA was launched in December 2018 in Fujian Province and is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative, aimed at "building an efficient and stable service ecosystem of continuous growth by integrating beneficial resources".
The WLP offers advantages for the movement of high value, low weight goods. The Chinese industries that stand to gain the most from participating in the program are broadcast equipment, computers, office machine parts, telephones and semiconductor devices. China is already the world's largest exporter in all of these product categories – a fact that can be reinforced in 2022 through participation in WLP.
The inclusion of China in the World Logistics Passport strengthens the program's position in Asia with hubs in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai Ports, Customs and Freezone Corporation (PCFC), which owns and manages the WLP program globally, said: "Bringing WLP to the world's second largest economy is a huge development. Efficient supply chains make products and services more competitive, and selling to more markets increases economic resilience. The WLP is helping to achieve this, while strengthening bilateral relations between the People's Republic of China and the United Arab Emirates.
The Global Logistics Passport (WLP) is a private sector-led global initiative designed to smooth the flow of global trade, unlock market access through the creation of new trade routes, and provide members with economic efficiency gains. .
Chinese merchants and freight forwarders who become WLP members will have access to the various benefits offered by WLP partners, including DP World, Thai Airways and Emirates SkyCargo. Examples of benefits include speeding up freight, reducing customs clearance times, and eliminating administrative costs.
Mr. Zhiping Chen, Party Committee Secretary and Chairman of Fujian Port Group, said, "The benefit of WLP, as the world's leading multi-modal freight loyalty program for businesses in China, is a reduction in costs. costs of their supply chain, and make the transport of goods and services faster and more efficient. This news will help our country develop its economy and create new jobs.
The MoU was signed in a virtual ceremony by Mr. Zhiping Chen, Party Committee Secretary and Chairman, Fujian Port Group and Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman of the PCFC. The signing event took place on December 7 during the Fujian Business Roadshow in China and Expo 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

In fairness, this assures you that you are getting unadulterated version of the ingredients so that there are no pure cambogia ultra side effect. To order this product you can check on their official page and also what Dr. Oz mentions as his 4 week plan to melt your belly. Pure life cleanse review reveals that combining this two together pushes the process one step further.
No less than the Dr. Oz show has featured and explained what is pure cambogia ultra and such products. One of the pure cambogia ultra side effect is its ability to be one of the most exciting and phenomenal effect on your body to date and still counting. The ingredients found on this product are said to block its conversion into simple sugar and prevents carbohydrates from converting into fat. Your body will actually convert fat into instant energy so that there is no chance that it will remain in your body. This is just one of the advantage of using this product. This weight loss supplement will not stop you from eating your most favorite dishes however, this may sound surprising even for you that you will actually loss appetite.
If you love eating you will be surprise just how less and less you will desire eating even the food that you use to eat. No, don't worry you will not lost your sense of taste at all. This will just target your appetite, you will desire to eat less. Why is the media and medical world abuzz with about Garcinia Cambogia? Haven't you notice that every time that a new discovery is presented to the world with such dramatic effects, the word spreads like wild fire. Since Mother Nature has revealed her natural answer to weight loss, the world has started to take notice.
It is noticeable how people who have just started using this product for a few days alone claim that they are feeling the change in their body. In the coming weeks, the changes becomes more noticeable. Your figure will look shapely. You can start wearing clothes that will only fit you in your younger years. Are you glad to know that there is a product such as this that can bring about these changes? Don't forget that to see these changes you have to take 2 tablets per day once in the morning and another one in the evening just before you have your meals. By taking these supplement with a glass of water, you are prepping your body to feel full. Just do not act so surprise if you don't feel like eating at all. Some even say that this product is better than what they are taking since the results are faster. Even health and dietary writers are starting to notice the changes taking place in their body when they place this product to the test. In one of test, one of them even lost as much as 13 kilos in just 4 short weeks! As if this is not that impressive enough, she did not even subscribe to a special meal plan or even engage in strenuous exercise just to lose those extra pounds. With the media catching up on this product the benefits are proven to be quite true.
The same person further said that for skeptics they need to start using this product so that they can have slimmer bellies and bodies just like what it did her. She also shared her personal experience about being infuse with fresh energy that has made her stronger. She slept better and wake up feeling completely rejuvenated. This was further given emphasis by a doctor who was a guest on Dr. Oz show that said that it is the natural lipid buster that makes this product do these things to you as user. The body can burn glucose better, and all of the process that can keep your liver healthy.
Since sugar is not building up in your blood stream. Not everybody knows this but, sugar is what turns to weight. When you use a combination of these two products your body burns, blocks and stops accumulating flab or what is commonly known as fat. You are also assured that this product can even skeptics into loyal users and they have even change their tune into admitting that this is short of a miracle kind of supplement.
Think of this, losing at least 2 inches from your tummy as early as 28 days. If you have bulges in the middle area of your body this is great news. This means you got to lose not just in this area of your body alone. The combined products promoted here are detoxification supplements that can provide you with a sexier figure. Experts formulated this product in such a way that it can give you the maximum benefits. Some users even say that they do not feel hungry at all. This is quite unusual for them since they usually love to eat. This might just be your ticket to a sexier figure in the days to come. You can maximize your goals by starting it as early as now. Don't just be contented about wishing that your body will change. Act on it.
This product shows that issues with obesity can be conquered and you can live a healthier life if you are using the right formula. This product is made in the USA. Products that are manufactured in the USA undergo stringent standards. This is an assurance that what you will be getting not just an ordinary colon cleanser. One thing noticeable about some of the product offers from other sites that sell these products is that they offer free bottles of each of these specific product: Pure Cambogia Ultra and Pure Life Cleanse. However, they failed to mention that there is some terms and conditions that goes with the offer. They only assured customers of product satisfaction and guarantee but have failed to mention what goes with this free trial offer. Some customers are taken by surprise to know that they need to pay for the shipping charges for this free trial bottle. In some cases these are even offered with auto shipment clauses. This means if you are not aware of these facts or have not read the terms and conditions you might just be surprise to receive a new bottle even when you just finish using the first bottle that you ordered. Do clarify these with the supplier or else be charge with payment that you do expect.
Some of the younger set have complain that they cannot yet take this product even if they are overweight because product restrictions revealed that this product is available only for people who are 18 years old. Some pregnant women and even those who are nursing their mothers are complaining as well why they are restricted to take this product. However, they can still take this product if these group of people under 18 will reach this age. For the group of pregnant or nursing mothers they can still take this supplement after they have weaned their babies from breast feeding.
Some of the complaints here as stem from unfamiliarity with the use of this product. They have heard how some people are glad about the change in their bodies but they are not totally convince of these changes unless they start using the product. As always there is an exemption to the rule. Some people will not respond to these duo. In such cases, they need to move on to the next product that may be compatible with their body system than this one. Some are even saying that they are feeling some side effects like skin rashes on their face or tummy ache. Some people are feeling nauseous and have notice fatty stools. These are stools that contains fats. In fairness, seeing fatty stools means that the fatty deposits are not deposited in parts of your body but are flush out.
Some of the side effects are connected with lack of water. This product works better when you take enough water with it. After all, you perspire more because of the fat burning sensation. You also will feel sweat pouring in. This means that the product is realty working on you. Some of the side effects mentioned here is also a result of toxin buildup that are slowly being flush out of your system and your system is adjusting to these changes. The cleansing process has started hence the presence of fats in the stools. These can be stools that can be categorize as something that you do not normally have.
Some of the complaints refer to Dr. Oz as a scam artist who are in this for the money. To be fair, people who promote products are only given their due even if it is not as famous as this man. He will not place his reputation online if he is not confident that the product that he is promoting will work on those who take them. Ever wonder why people cannot help but listen to what he has to say. Their numbers are greater than those who are bad mouthing him.

May 23, 2016 Gordon Campbell Articles 5
Libor. It stands for the London Interbank Offered rate. Back in 2012, Libor became synonymous with a scandal involving the dodgy manipulation of how interest rates were fixed – during the years before and after the Global Financial Crisis – thus affecting the cost of money for bank customers and corporates all around the world. Here's an explanation of how Barclays Bank (and other banks) set about rigging the $US 5.3 trillion a day global foreign exchange market.
By 2015, about $US6 billion in fines has been levied in the course of the Libor settlement.
For this country, one of the interesting things about the subsequent wave of banking reforms has been that New Zealand has disengaged itself from the Libor rate setting process:
The Danish, Swedish, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Libor rates have been successfully terminated, without disruption to the financial markets.
Unfortunately, that may not be the end of the story. Last month, the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) filed proceedings against Westpac over activities that have some distinct echoes of the Libor scandal. As with Libor, excerpts from internal bank communications appear to show the individuals concerned knew that their actions could well boomerang on them, and on the banks involved:
Traders at Westpac openly discussed how "f—— with the rate set" could hurt some customers and ultimately and "deservedly" harm the bank's reputation if an inquiry into the bank bill market was ever conducted.
The revelations are presented in new court documents that provide fresh detail on alleged manipulation by the bank of a key benchmark interest rate, the bank bill swap rate (BBSW).
Westpac is contesting the ASIC action. Yet the transcripts seem pretty damning. Again, from the Australian Financial Review coverage of this affair:
"Some end users who you don't know, you know corporates and people who don't know who get stiffed by people," the transcript said, without identifying which of the three men on the call made the comments.
"And then in 2 years time there's some enquiry that you have been f—ing with the rate set that's cost them all 10 basis points and, you know what, leave me alone, its got nothing to do with me, right. That's my biggest fear and that's what I will express to them…," the transcript said.
In similar vein:
In the conversation, "our biggest concern" about the "reputation" of the bank among corporate borrowers and other market participants was expressed, as opposed to the "professional" inter-broker dealers, who "know what they were doing" and probably "spend half their life trying to stitch people up."
"The unprofessional, unknown random you know with $50 million of debt that's getting stitched up by his bank… that at some point wakes up and has a dummy spit and quite deservedly so".
Across the Tasman, the Australian Labor Party is calling for an independent public inquiry into the banking system. The ripple impact upon New Zealand – which is largely a branch office operation of the four Aussie banks – has yet to be seen. Obviously though, getting out of Libor may well have been an 'out of the frying pan into the fire' kind of exercise.
While mystery still surrounds the crash of Egypt Air 804, there have been interesting aspects of the media coverage. It is now become routine for the media to mine plane crashes as fodder for the reality television drama involved: from footage of sobbing relatives to speculative scenarios about the possible causes. To that end, terrorism scenarios were being quickly circulated by the media, even though no terrorism organisation has (as yet) claimed responsibility for the disaster. This is in marked contrast to the last major Egypt-related air disaster in October 2015 – when the crash of a Russian Metrojet from an Egyptian airport was quickly claimed by the Islamic State terrorist organization.
Of course, evidence may finally emerge that confirms a terrorism plot. As yet, there isn't much in the way of evidence to conclusively point in that direction. (The sequence of the sensor triggering is not definitive, although it points to the initial problem being towards the front of the plane.) According to the Stratfor intelligence site, the current lack of terrorism claimants for the disaster may be because the group responsible may have developed a new and secretive technique to which they wish to avoid drawing attention, in order to use it again. The simpler explanation is that a mechanical fault was involved. In which case, the smoke detectors on board may have been triggered by fog generated during the plane's rapid descent.
The really extraordinary thing is that the media – and the public -is still entirely at the mercy of an airline industry that refuses to install the modern technology capable of immediately detecting the causes of its catastrophes.
That's an incredible situation. Despite the experience of the Malaysian Airlines disaster in the Indian Ocean, we are once again racing to scour the ocean floor (this time in the Mediterranean) for the pings from black boxes that will cease to send out transmissions in less than a month's time. There have been calls for the airline industry to update its error detection technology ever since the Air France disaster in the south Atlantic in 2009. It took two years to find those black boxes. This time, the search will not be easy, either.
Given the probable location of the EgyptAir Flight 804 'black boxes" ( the Flight Data Recorder' and Cockpit Voice Recorder) nearly two miles down in the eastern Mediterranean seabed in a jagged seabed, it may be months before retrieval of them or large pieces of the A-320-200 can be brought up to the surface for forensic investigations.
This isn't good enough. The airline industry has to be made more accountable to the travelling public when it comes to the detective work on its disasters. Technology already exists whereby flight and cockpit data could be being relayed back to a reception point in real time, during the flight. Miles O'Brien, a CNN and PBS aviation expert commented in a PBS NewsHour segment on the Flight 804 disaster:
We go through this time and again. There is technology off the shelf used by the military right now which has ejectable, floatable, deployable flight data recorders. There is technology which makes it possible to stream this data back in real time, not unlike the stream that we have just been talking about.
In the 21st century, the fact that we have to listen for pings two miles beneath the surface of the ocean to find out…the answer to a critical question is a bit scandalous. We should do something about it.
Indeed. If such technology was in place, the media would not be (left) in the position of dealing in speculative theories about whether it was terrorism or mechanical failure that caused this particular crash.
Air Travel, It's A Thing of the Day
Talking of air travel… Two studio musicians called Bobby Swayne and Raymond Appleberry were the Ray & Bob responsible for this oldie. Their song conveys the sense of innocent wonder still possible back in 1962, about the fact that you could simply get on a plane, and go and see the Great Wall of China. Just imagine, you can take a trip around the world! And yes, the vocalist does sound a lot like Sam Cooke…

Never trust the idea behind 'bankers reforming themselves" .
Still waiting for people to wake up to the banksters global economic fraud and the rigged markets so they can "spit the dummy". This understanding of money would also stop their desire for a nanny state, a state that is there to enforce the banking cabal's policies.
Bob Keplan May 23, 2016 at 3:44 pm
Bankers rigging the markets, self regulating and reforming themselves.
Keep voting for their candidates and paying them your taxes. OMG.
The "ordinary" citizen doesn't have to be too much of a conspiracy theorist to see that the system is stacked against them. Banks self-regulating and fishing company controlled monitoring systems are just two ridiculous concepts that neoConservatives think can be forced down our throats.
How long until these Antoinettes realise the underclasses will no longer take being screwed for their life blood?
Helen S May 30, 2016 at 4:59 pm
When will people stop believing?
When the poor and middle class tax slaves see the con job and understand the unwholesomeness of the empire( current system) the empire and its media conglomerates use its agents to start chaos/war/civil etc .
Divide and conquer through ignorance.
So the understanding of the banking cabal (and its Crown) is key to seeing how the ruling establishment has worked, mind programming for yonks to keeping the slaves believing they are free. To even vote for their debt slavery and believe in their illusion "democracy".
Anabel May 31, 2016 at 9:05 am
@Rob lets hope people don't get get led into a revolution without understanding, fighting against themselves as they have many times before.
In the rise of the right wingers the new "left" is the modern well informed (but media labelled) "conspiracy theorist".

Q: Concatenate String + date in SQL Server I have the following data:
KEY        ID         DATE
123456789  09BA2038   01-01-2017

And I would like to concatenate it, but keep the original format of the date. When I try:
CONCAT(Key, '-', ID, '-', DATE)

it gives me an output of
123456789-09BA2038-Jan 01 2017 11:00AM

But I would like the output to be
123456789-09BA2038-01-01-2017

A: If you're using SQL Server 2012 or newer, then you can use FORMAT to change a date or datetime into a varchar with the format of your liking.
select CONCAT([Key],'-',ID,'-',FORMAT([DATE],'MM-dd-yyyy')) as Key2
from (values (123456789,'09BA2038',convert(date,'2017-01-15',126))) v([Key],ID,[DATE]);

Result:
Key2
123456789-09BA2038-01-15-2017

Or you could use CONVERT instead using the 110 style for the USA date format.

A: Convert the date, I am guessing you want the format mm-dd-yyyy, if so:
CONCAT([key],'-',[ID],'-',CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [DATE], 110))

If you want dd-mm-yyyy it is:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), [DATE], 105)

A: You need to use an explicit convert to get the date format you want.
In this case CONCAT(Key, '-', ID, '-', convert(varchar(10),DATE,105)) should work fine.
You can find the full list of formats here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/functions/cast-and-convert-transact-sql

A: Try CONCAT(Key, '-', ID, '-', CONVERT(varchar(10),DATE, 110)). The 110 tells SQL Server to format the date as 'mm-dd-yyyy' (US style).
For more information about this look here.
Niels

A: I think not using concat is better in this situation
like this:
select convert(nvarchar(100),KEY)+'-'+convert(nvarchar(100),ID)+'-'+convert(nvarchar(100),DATE)

IAFL 1 Bowl Build Up: Interview with Anton Nulty
Anton (#7) getting his first cap for Ireland u20s, April 2017
In our final interview before Sundays IAFL 1 Bowl, we spoke to rising star Anton Nulty. Anton has reached a Bowl game in his first year of senior football, and will be looking to build on his success from junior football.
Turning 18 during the senior season, you joined the senior roster when most of the guys had already had a few games under their belt. Was it difficult to settle into the team mid-way through the season?
"Not at all actually. I have trained with this squad for a few years meaning I knew all the players who were extremely welcoming, as well as this it meant I knew what plays and schemes we would be running so I fit into the squad perfectly. All this got me extremely excited to start playing senior ball."
What has been the biggest challenge going from junior football to seniors?
"The main difference is the speed and intensity at which the game is played, this is part in parcel with the size difference between juniors and seniors. Transitioning from going head to head with a small, skinny 16/17 year old to 6'4" 240lb athletes really makes you grow out of a junior mind-set rather quickly."
A good regular season was followed by a shootout win against the Wexford Eagles in the playoffs. What have you been doing in the time between the playoffs and Sunday coming to prepare yourself?
"Post Eagles match I spent time recovering from the long hard fought match we had just played. Since then I have been going to the gym to make sure I am as physically prepared as I can be. In addition to the tape and training to mentally prepare myself for such a big game I feel I'm in the best shape for the match I could be at this point in time."
Having been on the side line to watch the last game between the Cowboys and Mavericks, what are the Mavericks biggest threats?
"The Mavericks have some impressive receivers and having witnessed first-hand some of the great catches at the last game we certainly have our work cut out for us. This combined with their QB who is willing to linger in the pocket for an extended period and even take a big hit in order to deliver the perfect pass will certainly make the match an interesting one."
And finally, what are your predictions for Sunday's game?
"Both teams have all to play for in this big game, so I'm predicting a tough, hard fought match and a great contest. However having watched and played with our talented Cowboys side I must predict a Cowboys win this Sunday."

SANTA CRUZ -- Pole dancing is not just for strippers, explained Jeanette Bent, a dancer, teacher and performer who recently opened Aerial Arts Santa Cruz.
"I completely forget that pole dancing came from strip clubs," said Bent, who placed third in the 2013 U.S. National Pole Championships in Las Vegas in August. "When that association happens, I just get on the pole and show some moves, or send them to YouTube to watch what it's about. I don't get upset or angry. I've dealt with it before."
When Bent lifts her lean, muscular frame onto the pole in a mesmerizing display of strength, flexibility and endurance during a choreographed aerobic dance, it quickly becomes clear that pole dancing is indeed a performance art centered on a vertical pole. It became more mainstream within the last decade when gyms started offering pole fitness classes and international competitions emerged.
"It's a matter of lifting your own body weight and being comfortable going upside down," said the 29-year-old Santa Cruz native and Harbor High School graduate. "I started off as a dancer and then it was just by accident in 2008 that I got into aerial arts and pole when I was hired as a choreographer for the circus team at Club Med in Cancun."
After a decade of teaching, performing and choreographing a variety of traditional and aerial dance styles, in New York City, Florida, Mexico, the Bahamas and throughout Europe, Bent returned to Santa Cruz about a year ago. In October, she launched Aerial Arts Santa Cruz on Mission Street, where she and other instructors teach aerial, pole, dance and fitness classes for children and adults.
Jessica DeLancey, 28, met Bent when they were teenagers performing at Motion Pacific dance studio and connected again recently when both were dancing for Diaspora, the Tannery Arts Center dance troupe. "Bent is passionate, enthusiastic, energetic and caring. I admire what she is doing."
Bent stumbled into dance, so to speak.
"There are no dancers or performers in my family, not even a one," Bent said, laughing. "My earliest memory of what compelled me to dance was sneaking out of bed to watch the Fly Girls perform on the TV show 'In Living Color.'"
After earning a college degree and moving to New York City to work for Dance Magazine, Bent realized she would rather dance than write about it.
"At first, I thought I could take or leave performing, but then I get itchy to perform," she said. "It's that rush of adrenaline that I love."
Strangest Performance Place: During National Dance Week in Santa Cruz, Bent and a friend used a stop sign on Pacific Avenue to do a pole routine to a Guns N' Roses song. 'The reactions were great,' recalled Bent.
Next Performance: Bent and several of her young students will travel to Los Angeles to compete in the inaugural West Coast Aerial Arts Festival, Nov. 15-17. Visit www.rubykarenproject.com/west-coast-aerial-arts-festival.

Interview with Readings
Josh Langley on exploring mental health in children's books
In recognition of Mental Health Week (8 October to 14 October), we chat to Josh Langley, an Australian author/illustrator who has written two picture books that can open up discussions with young kids about taking care of their mental health.
It's OK to Feel the Way You Do is designed to get kids talking about their feelings. What inspired you to write this book?
It was my partner's idea. I initially thought the topic of feelings and emotions was too big for me to tackle as I'm not a psychologist or child behavioural expert, but after gentle encouragement from him and a few other people I decided to take it on. The book is based on my own learned experience and a common sense approach on how to cope with emotions. I also collaborated with teachers, parents and grandparents to get their real world view on the topic. In the end, It's OK to Feel the Way You Do is the kind of book I would have given my 7-year-old self to help him make friends with the myriad of feelings he was grappling with.
Talking about feelings is often cited as being more difficult for young boys than girls. Do you agree with statement? Why/why not?
Yes, I think it is harder for boys. Our society in general is still geared towards men being less likely to be in touch with their emotions and there's little encouragement to do so. Having said that a lot of younger men are more emotionally intelligent than a generation ago, but a lot of work still needs to be done. I'm hoping my book will change that and encourage boys to talk openly about what's going on in the minds and hearts.
Can creativity play a role in managing mental health?
I think it's essential. It's so important for our mental health to express ourselves creatively, to get feelings and emotions out in a safe, creative and cathartic way. I know from personal experience that if I've been sitting in my head for too long, I feel heavy and disconnected from life, but as soon as I start to write, draw or paint I feel lighter and life seems less serious and intense. All people are born with a need to express themselves.
You've had an unusual path to becoming an author, overcoming some early challenges. Can you tell us a little bit about how you got here?
Both parents suffered from various mental health issues, including depression, severe anxiety, panic attacks and extreme bouts of anger. So I retreated into my imagination and thankfully it's been my saving grace. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I wasn't very academically minded and didn't get to pass high school, and spent a few years being unemployed, then working menial jobs to pay the rent. In my early twenties I stumbled across an ad for a radio course and instantly quit my job, spent the next 3 months studying and soon after I got a position as a breakfast radio announcer in a small town. That launched a twenty year career in radio, which then enabled me to explore many of my other creative interests, such as writing and illustrating picture books.
What is your favourite part about being an author of children's books?
Getting emails and messages from parents saying how much the books have made a difference to their kid's lives. Nothing beats that. I even have parents saying they've cried while reading them.
Who are some authors and illustrators who inspire you?
Maurice Sendak is a big influence. I adore his gentleness and imaginative style. His life story is also really interesting and at times heartbreaking. I challenge you to not cry while reading about his life, especially his later years.
Also Michael Leunig is a favourite. I love how his mind doesn't play gatekeeper to his heart. He's not afraid to upset some people by just saying what his heart feels. He speaks a deep truth through his disarming use of whimsical characters.

Here's Exactly How to Make Tate's Chocolate Chip Cookies at Home
Skip the store—this recipe's even better.
Ethan Calabrese
Crispy, thin chocolate chip cookies are the underdog of the cookie world. It's easy to find people who love chewy and gooey treats, but crunchy ones immediately make you think of scorched cookies some frenzied baker agonizingly scraped off a baking sheet after hearing their fire alarm go off.
Tate's Bake Shop has single-handedly reclaimed crunchy cookies though, proving that a wafer-thin chocolate chip cookie can be every bit as delicious as the undercooked, doughy varieties. The Southampton, NY-based company's Chocolate Chip cookies are just as buttery, with a little salt, so you don't feel a full-on sugar overload after eating one (or five).
That salty-sweet, crisp-but-not-burned flavor made us wonder: How can we recreate them at home?
We ultimately chose salted butter, which infuses the whole cookie with a subtle saltiness. It also makes the dough completely irresistible—even though it has eggs in it, and we know that you really shouldn't eat raw cookie dough, we found ourselves sneaking off with spoonfuls. Over and over again.
Can you blame us, though? Let's take a closer look at that dough:
The longer these cookies bake, the more caramel-y flavor the cookie itself will have (and the crispier the cookie, of course). If you're serving them to a crunch-averse crowd, you could reduce the cook time to 11-12 minutes, instead of the recommended 15.
But really, it's worth slipping them a crispy cookie. You might just change their entire outlook on sweets—especially if you serve it with a glass of milk. There's no better way to get your dunk on.
Get the recipe on Delish.

Greta Van Fleet's Danny Wagner Names His 5 Favorite Albums
Greta Van Fleet drummer Danny Wagner is the latest to partake in AXS TV's Stranded series, where he named his five favorite albums of all time.
Participants have to choose five records they'd want to have if they were stranded on an island. Other prominent rockers who've picked their Top 5 albums for the series include Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix, Halestorm's Lzzy Hale, Dee Snider and Zakk Wylde. Despite Wagner being the youngest musicians of the aforementioned bunch, all of his choices came out during the '70s, with most having been released in the first half of the decade.
Once Wagner made his selections, he said, "If you are stranded alone on an island, I would highly recommend a Greta Van Fleet album in your possession. I would say it myself, but that would be weird."
Greta Van Fleet's most recent release was The Battle At Garden's Gate, which came out in April of 2021, but the rockers have a new one underway, and it's apparently a return to the garage rock sound of their debut EP Black Smoke Rising.
"I can't say a lot about it, but it's like the whole concept of kind of going back to almost the roots of what we did," bassist Sam Kiszka said in an interview. "Kind of bring our heads back to that garage time, and not spending all this time making it perfect, but just capturing what's going on and embellishing it and making it exciting and raw."

Q: Get Object of Calling Function I'm aware that I can use arguments.callee.caller.name to get the name of the calling function, but how do I get the object on which the function was called on, i.e. what this means in there?
I want to know this as it's about a function I called apply() on to call it for another object.
Example: in some part of the code I have
function myFunc(param1, param2) {
  myComplexObject.someFunc();
}

myFunc.call(obj, param1, param2);

and now I want to write code in myComplexObject.someFunc() and somehow find obj from above:
function someFunc() {
  var callerFuncName = arguments.callee.caller.name;
  var callerFuncObj = ???
}

I hope I'm making sense here...

EDIT: This is a veeeeery much simplified situation of what I'm really in. Please understand that I don't have a fully-fledged debugger or something similar.

A: Ok I was a bit confused - hopefully now I know what you are trying to do. What about this, it's not clean, but since you really are trying to do a little somersault here, it could work for you :
var f1temp;
function f1(){
 f1temp = this;
 f2();
}
function f2(){
 console.log(f1temp.num);
}
var a = { num:2 };
f1.call(a);

Will result in 2. Therefore giving you access to the object as demonstrated.
EDIT: Ok, what about this:
function f1(){
 Function.prototype.temp = this;
 f2();
}
function f2(){
 console.log(Function.prototype.temp.num);
}
var a = { num:2 };
f1.call(a);

A:
how do I get the object on which the caller function was called on, i.e. what this means in there?

You cannot. The this keyword is only accessible from the scope of your caller function, and there's no way to get introspection into that (unless you use a JS debugger with access to the JS engine).
So you would need to somehow pass this as an argument to your function, or find another way to make it available (e.g. as a global variable). This could be done either in the caller function (setGlobal(this)) or in the caller's caller (setGlobal(obj)) who also knows the object. If you cannot change that code, it's completely impossible.
The last resort would be some kind of side-channel attack, i.e. when you know the set of possible this values and know what properties the caller function accesses on it, you could set getters on these properties that will identify the object as "being accessed".

Who said dreams can't become reality?
While watching the 2014 Women's Fastpitch World Championships in The Netherlands, the idea for Team Ireland was born. This was not an easy adjustment, as Ireland is traditionally a slowpitch country. Four years and several tournaments later, Ireland's women's fastpitch team is now currently ranked 22nd in the world. This last summer saw the U19 and U22 women's teams win a silver and bronze medal in their respective European Championships. Softball Ireland looks forward to seeing what the ladies can do this summer!
And so, the dream continues…


It's time once again for college students to be reminded of the Law of Diminishing Tuition Fruition.
The summer job has two purposes. It allows the college student to earn one-millionth of the money he'll be needing to get through the next school year. And it reminds him that he's got absolutely nothing on the ball as far as Summer Job Bosses are concerned.
I had more summer jobs than I care to remember. I was a maid, a waitress, a telephone operator, a waitress, a salesperson, a waitress, a clerk, a waitress and a waitress another six or so times.
The odd thing was, it didn't matter what the job was because I always did the same thing: I always did whatever no one else wanted to do!
As a resort waitress one summer, it was my job to make the orange juice in the morning. This wasn't just ordinary orange juice. It came in cans the size of driveway-sealer containers that I believe were stored on Pluto to make sure the juice was definitely and thoroughly frozen.
My work involved making orange juice with a sledge hammer. After two weeks, when I began looking like Hulk Hogan, I decided tomake a suggestion. This made me nervous, but I took the chance, as I was so big and strong by then.
"Wouldn't it be easier to defrost this stuff the night before?" I said.
Probably the worst summer job I ever had was the year I was the Wink Girl.
Wink was a soft drink during the 1960s that never made it. My job was to dress up in an outfit that looked like a Wink can—a lime green skirt and yellow polyester top— and promote the product by driving around with the Wink Man in the Wink Truck.
I never knew where the Wink Man came from. He looked like the type of gentleman who knew where a lot of bodies were buried in landfills. I always suspected he was given the identity of Wink Man under the Federal Witness Protection Program after he squealed on "the boss." Anyway, he just drifted into the local employment office one day looking for a Wink Girl.
Our job was to stop the Wink Truck wherever there might be thirsty people so that the Wink Girl—me—could give out free samples of Wink while theWinkMan—him— studied his racing form in the truck.
On my first day, the Wink Man had a problem with my performance. We were parked in front of a high school as summer school let out, and I was pouring little samples as fast as my spigot could handle.
The Wink Man called me around the front of the truck.
"But young boys consider winking an invitation of sorts," I said.
So I went back and began winking at high school boys. All that summer I winked at teenagers, old ladies, construction workers and small children. My left eye was exhausted by the end of each day, but I had a lot of dates.
"That's my title," he told me when he got the job.
At work, he asked for an explanation of his duties.
"Go over there and bust up that mud, boy," the boss told him.
"Bust the mud," said his boss. My boy busted a mountain of mud that summer, and he never did learn what the boss wanted it for.
I don't know what he'll be doing this summer, but I figure he's qualified to be a waiter—as long as his duties are limited to busting orange juice.
