There are absolutely no changes in program positioning this Friday compared the Hyip Information Survey #526, published on Tuesday. All programs are the same as Zooo is taking the lead and Earn Tech is the only sticky listed program at the moment.
Dowerly. The Hyip is still taking the lead in the TOP 5 of the HyipNews section showing more or less stable performance with slight fluctuations observed. On October 25 the performance was more or less stable, then some decline was detected on October 26 and another rise back to 192 points on October 27.
Capitaller. This hyip moved one place higher in the TOP 5 thanks to the rising trend observed since October 23. By October 25 the rise was smooth enough as the index moved up to 144 points and then within two days it was more significant as the quotation index moved to 168 points by October 27.
PokerAdv. This program moved one place down as the quotation index moved down on October 26 from 168 to 140 points. Even though on October 27 the index moved up again, the rise was not enough to compete with Capitaller, now taking the second place and the index reached the mark of 156 points.
GoDeposit. That is another program, which managed to move one position up in the TOP 5 of the Hyip Quotes section. Last time we were talking about the great improvement shown by this hyip. Within last three days things were more or less stable. Even though the quotation index moved down from 125 to 106 points on October 25, during the next two days the trend changed and the index improved to 128 points, which is three points higher than the observed on October 24.
DeriveMoney. And finally we are pleased to welcome the newcomer of the Hyip Quotes section today. The program has been showing much of improvement starting from October 23 as the quotation index began to grow. Within two days the index moved up from 79 to 122 points. The following day things were stable and on October 27 the index moved up again to 128 points, which means DeriveMoney and GoDeposit are sharing the last place.
The performance of hyips in the TOP 5 of the Hyip Quotes section can be considered to be more or less stable lately. Dowerly is taking the lead, although the quotation index moved four points down. Capitaller and PokerAdv exchanged places as the trend of Capitaller seems to be rising and the one of PokerAdv is more like declining.
GoDeposit moved one place up as well as the index remained stable and rose by three points compared to its result three days ago. We are pleased to welcome the newcomer of the Hyip Quotes section. DeriveMoney being a member of Top Performers section, has also shown some progress in terms of quotation index growth.
Compared to the index observed on October 23 till October 27 the index rose from 79 to 122 points, which is a stunning result and a well-deserved fifth place in the TOP 5 of the Hyip Quotes section in the Hyip Information Survey #527.
Take your time to see the list of the new programs launched online within the last three days.
Bitinvest 10-20% daily up to 10 calendar days!
Crypto Strategy 125-900% after 1-11 days!
The number of programs launched and selected to be included to the Openings section this Friday is nearly the same as the number of them on Tuesday. Still the major difference compared to the previous information survey is two programs recently added to HyipNews listing. Two programs are offering alternative payout options. While Bitinvest has daily based payout system, Crypto Strategy is paying upon the expiry of the investment period.
Even though we'll be talking problems below let us start this section with some good news. First of all, among all programs, which used to be Problem on Tuesday, one hyip, Gpinv, managed to get back to paying status and so far things have recovered. Another piece of good news is that today there are only two newcomers in the Problems section and none of them has been listed at HyipNews.
That is all with the good news. All other programs apart from Gpinv are now moved to Closures section including Investments 39,the hyip, which used to be listed at HyipNews. Another program, listed at HyipNews for 22 days, Nano Income, is now moved to blacklist as well. The Closures list itself is not that numerous still. See the details below.
Investments 39 (14 days), Nano Income (22 days), BitCapital Ltd (28 days), Bit Firm (27 days), Bintento (27 days), Magic-Return (16 days), YSF24 (28 days), SGS Forex Corporation (4 days).
Earning Hike listed at HyipNews since the launch of the project completes 100 days landmark. Within this time more than 7K members joined the project. The project is growing and enjoys respect and popularity among members and listing sites.
The admin says recently lots of questions from members have appeared asking how long the project is going to stay online. The admin tries to answer telling they are, let me quote it: "...working with Faith and Loyalty. We are not here to close the company in short period so we will go long and have no plan to close the company."
Another question to be resolved is about the members who are using Bitcoin wallet. When sending payments users copy the address to send but some of them did not copy and paste the amount in BTC (Which is on address page) as that amount contain a (Very minimal) fee of coin payment system.
If they do not pay that fee their payment causes payment canceled or time out, which in its turn may create troubles for the payers as they have to go through the process of refund which naturally takes time. That is why the customers are requested to copy paste the amount from the address page as well.
Some programs have launched promo offers and new plans with the purpose to attract new members. This is a sign of warning, as you may know enabling ultra profitable investment offers is more often nothing but the last chance to attract new members and new deposits for the reason this or that project is lack of funds incoming.
So, Emalodi hyip launched the new plan "Action 5" which will be discounted only for another 2 days to only 250 usd minimum deposit after that it is reported to go back to regular figure of 350 usd.
Netgo Btc Ltd announced the new special offer, according to the terms of which all deposits starting from $500 will be granted with 50% investment bonus. The new offer is time-limited and is about to expire on November 15.
The TopBTC admin announced special VIP Plan that will be available for a limited time only - 200% After 1 Day. In order to participate in the Special VIP plan, customers are requested to make a deposit manually to the VIP PerfectMoney account: U6104613 (VIP) , or to the VIP BitCoin address: 1AMFgiD9zFt11kcbuRS8GrBMuM6H36sY8z, or to the VIP Payeer account: P44554414. Once again minimum deposit amount for Special VIP plan is $5,000 which should be sent manually.
Crypto Kingdom is pleased to inform there soon will be two months of successful operation. The main goal of the project is to achieve the highest profits possible from activity on the foreign currency exchange (Forex) and Cryptocurrency exchange markets.
BitPay payment provider continues upgrading the services and releases a full-featured BitPay app for purchasing, storing and spending bitcoin, which was announced on Monday October 24. The new applications is supposed to bring together BitPay's merchant payment tools with a growing compendium of consumer options, all in one place.
This new app aims to offer security and ease of use in a manner appealing to non-technical users who may otherwise steer away from bitcoin. It allows for the conversion of bitcoin to dollars through an integrated BitPay Visa® Prepaid debit card, currently the only US-wide debit card for bitcoiners. Bitcoin can be purchased and sold by users via exchanges — all through the app. These features offer users a convenient means of aligning their digital and traditional finance worlds, without leaving BitPay.
While many similar services have been launched, most require users to maintain their bitcoin in company-managed accounts, leading to increased vulnerability to security breaches and hacks. The BitPay app overcomes these concerns by allowing users full control over their funds at all times through device-based private keys, backup protocol and multi-device authentication. When the app is downloaded, new users are offered a simple tutorial with steps for easy navigation.
Another feature was added at BitPay earlier on September 29, which allows for the automation of refunds for bitcoin payment exceptions. It addresses a common issue that continues to haunt new users, namely, instances where an incorrect amount of bitcoin is sent to a BitPay merchant. Handling payment acception is processed in an easy and streamlined manner with the new feature enabled, allowing users a means of requesting refunds for overpayments and underpayments.
BitPay Marketing and Communications Manager, James Walpole said of the plans to make BitPay app the wallet used by expert bitcoiners to secure their bitcoin savings and in the future to make the app people would want to choose right to start with bitcoin from getting their first bitcoin, to storing and spending funds securely.
Payza officials inform about the personal setup guide, available to help with sending and receiving money and make shopping online. Payza has been providing the customers with a wide choice of financial tools online starting from credit card payments ending with Bitcoin exchanges.

Moreover it may be not clear how to use all the range of services, especially for the new customers. With the purpose to make the payment process easier and more comfortable this guide has been developed.

By following this guide, customers will be able to make online payments and receive remittances in no time. See more information on Payza Personal Setup Guide following the link at HyipNews above.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to That! Company. By way of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, That! Company has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g., by telephone.
The data protection declaration of That! Company is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to begin by explaining the terminology used.
Third-party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
The website of That! Company collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time (so-called timestamp) of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider (ISP) of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, That! Company does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, That! Company analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The data subject has the possibility to register (sign up for a Trial account) on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data.

The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request a transfer to one or more processors (e.g., a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
On the website of That! Company, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
That! Company informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about company offers. The company's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
The newsletter of That! Company contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, That! Company may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up (clicked on) by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to continuously adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. That! Company automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
The website of That! Company contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).

Company, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of That! Company or another employee shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead of the restriction of their use instead.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by That! Company, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of That! Company or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

That! Company shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g., the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During this technical procedure, the company Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such as personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://analytics.google.com/.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google enables a recognition of the visitor of our website if he calls up consecutive web pages, which are also a member of the Google advertising network. With each call-up to an Internet site on which the service has been integrated by Google Remarketing, the web browser of the data subject identifies automatically with Google. During this technical procedure, Google receives personal information, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, inter alia, for the insertion of interest relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, e.g., the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, considering the previously defined keywords.
The data and information collected using the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g., the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, if it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.


In 1975, TSR published D&D Supplement II: Blackmoor. Unlike Supplement I, Blackmoor was not just a mere collection of additional rules and monsters, but also featured a unique look into the actual Campaign World of the author through the world's first adventure module Temple of the Frog.
Not only do we see the early seeds to the fabled adventure of the Temple of the Frog here, but also what would become the City of the Gods. Two of the most famous adventures of the Blackmoor line thus sprung from the discussions between Arneson and Rocheford. Rocheford had further ideas for the religious order his character established.
The basics of the Order of the Frog were given in Supplement II, but it is impressive to see the level of detailed planned for the actual campaign, even down to the music St. Stephen played on his pipe organ. In Supplement II, Stephen was not the one who set up the cult originally, but an unsurper, who had taken over the Order. The DA series saw further developments to the character as Dave Ritchie explained St. Stephen's relationship with the City of the Gods, making him a traitor to Captain Bork Riesling, seeking power instead of obeying Riesling's orders to follow the "Prime Directive".
Eventually 'The Great Svenny' and his friends heard of this and were intrigued sufficiently enough to launch an expedition. Dave made sure we had worked out several details about this prior to him, as referee, passing on the rumors of this society in the swamps to the players. I kept my role as High Priest, per Arneson's request, secret from the others until the first actual expedition. One of the characters was killed and his loss was a warning to the others and so set the stage for future endeavors by the group who wished revenge and to find out what happened. It was a great "what happened" set up when they finally found the the weird guy in the robes who shot an immensely powerful lightning bolt at them. Awaking later in the swamp, all that could be remembered evoked a 'riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'. The game was on!!!
Thanks to Dan H Boggs for providing the information from Stephen Rocheford.
Great write up Havard. Reading this again makes me wonder again about that introductory paragraph in Supp II Temple of the Frog. While the adventure is pretty much straight from Arneson, I've often thought the introduction and background history was more polished and felt like it might be the work of the editor, Tim Kask. Who knows, but either way, I like Stevens' version best.

NORTHEAST GLENDALE — Having just finished competing in the NCAA Championships in Oklahoma as a member of the Arizona State University men's golf team, Scott Pinckney quickly shifted his focus to something he had long sought to accomplish — qualifying for the prestigious U.S. Open.
It's been a busy last week for the senior, but patience and a consistent short game helped him achieve his goal.
Pinckney shot a two-round score of 137 to tie for first with Matthew Edwards on Monday in a sectional qualifying round for the major championship at fabled Oakmont Country Club.
The 111th rendition of the U.S. Open, one of four majors and one of 13 championships conducted by the United States Golf Assn., will be held June 16-19 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md.
For Pinckney, it will be his first appearance in the championship after he registered 21 pars and 10 birdies on the 6,861-yard course.
"It's a dream come true and it still hasn't hit me," said Pinckney, who carded a four-under-par 67 in his first round before recording a 70 in the final round in front of his grandparents, former Glendale residents and Hoover High graduates Jennifer and Ed Hagen. "The course was in great shape and I was hitting the ball great.
"It was just about being able to get in a rhythm and making some putts by staying patient."
Five qualifiers and two alternates from the field of 93 advanced to the U.S. Open.
Also qualifying were Steve Irwin, the son of three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin, 16-year-old Beau Hossler and Brian Locke. Locke snagged the last spot in a playoff that went three holes shortly after darkness fell when he made a birdie on the 16th hole. The alternates will be Jeffrey Roth and Grant Rappleye, who shot a course-record 65 during his second round. Irwin and Hossler each shot 138s, while Roth carded a 139. Rappleye also had a 139.
Roth became the first alternate after he parred the final playoff hole. Rappleye became the second alternate after he parred the second playoff hole after Locke and Roth each birdied.
The event had two local ties in La Crescenta resident Brett Kanda and Brennan Amirkhizi, who recently finished his two-year stint as a member of the Glendale Community College men's program.
Kanda, a Flintridge Prep and UNLV graduate who turned pro last year and has been on the Canadian Tour since February, finished tied for 10th with a 141. Amirkhizi, who helped the Vaqueros qualify for the state tournament for the first time in the program's history, carded a 153 to tie for 69th.
Edwards, a pro, rolled up 20 pars and 11 birdies.
Irwin said he's served as a caddy for his father four or five times at the U.S. Open. Now, he'll have an opportunity to walk the course as a contestant.
"There's a lot of emphasis on this tournament in my family," said Irwin, who shot a 67 in his first round to put him in a four-way tie for first place with Pinckney, Edwards and Hossler. "This is rather special for me to be able to go and compete.
"In my first round, everything just seemed to click and I played fairly solid in the second round. My putter was the all-star and it came through for me big time."
Hossler, a sophomore at Santa Margarita High in Rancho Santa Margarita, appeared poised throughout both of his rounds. He said he wasn't fazed by competing against people more than twice his age.
"I felt confident out there and I've been in different qualifiers before," said Hossler, who will take his final exams this week before heading to the U.S. Open. "I hit my driver good and the fairways and greens were firm.
"It's going to be great playing in the U.S. Open. It's a pretty good feeling."

Articles Articles Index I'm Tired
User Rating: / 70
After 31 years of speaking out, I have truly reached the point where I am tired. How much must happen and how many Americans must die every day, week after week, month in and month out, year after year before people realize that that the West is not the issue.
31 years is long time, actually it's far too long. This week will be my birthday and I won't be celebrating.
At 51 I can only look back and wonder why, why things have gotten worse rather than better. I have been speaking, writing and teaching about terror, Islam, Sharia and counter-terror for 31 years.
With all the news surrounding the death of Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Libya I have to start with the last death of an American Ambassador.
Although the last U.S. ambassador to die in the line of duty was Arnold Raphel, the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan, it is unsure whether it was a terrorist act. He perished in a plane crash in 1988, along with the then president of Pakistan, Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq.
Prior to that, the last ambassador to be killed in the line of duty was Adolph Dubs, the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, in 1979. On February 14, 1979, he was kidnapped by four terrorists and was killed when he was shot during an exchange of gunfire started between the terrorists and Afghan security forces.
An American Ambassador killed by terrorists. Did America notice, no.
Months after the Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Tehran and Iran voted to become an Islamic Republic we had the embassy takeover. On November 4, 1979 Iranians seized the U.S. embassy, taking 66 hostages. 14 were later released with the remaining 52 freed after 444 days on the day of President Reagan's inauguration.
This was not enough for people to take notice.
When I arrived back in the U.S. in 1981, I tried and tried to introduce this country to what I knew would be needed, anti-terrorism. I applied and interviewed with every alphabet soup government agency and was shot down by each and every one with the exception of the CIA. I was told, "This is America, we don't have terrorism".
The CIA offered me a position that I couldn't speak about for years under the penalty of 'treason', but needless to say it wasn't in the area of counter-terror. I refused the offer since it would have been going against my own morals, ethics and beliefs, not to mention, Israel.
In 1981 there weren't even a handful of counter-terror people, as a matter of fact I knew of only two, myself and my dear friend and colleague Dr. Walid Phares.
Interestingly, both I and Dr. Phares have been saying and warning of the same things for all these years. Even though what we say and warn about seem to come to fruition each and every time, very few listen.
Between 1982 and 1991 we had the kidnappings and deaths of Americans in Lebanon. Thirty U.S. and other Western hostages were kidnapped in Lebanon by Hezbollah. Some were killed, some died in captivity and some were eventually released. Terry Anderson was held for 2,454 days.
This too was not enough for people to take notice.
Shortly after I arrived back in the U.S. from Israel we had the Lebanon bombings.
On April 18, 1983, the U.S. embassy in Beirut was bombed killing 63 people, most were embassy and CIA staff members, several were soldiers and one was a Marine. 17 of the dead were Americans.
That same year on October 23, the U.S. Marines barracks were destroyed by suicide bombers during their stay as part of multinational 'peace keeping force'. What many do not know is that this was only the second "suicide bombing" in history, it was carried out by the terrorist organization Hezbollah and killed 241 American servicemen: 220 marines, 18 sailors and three soldiers, along with sixty other Americans injured.
The Marine barrack attack was the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam War, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II.
Was the bombing of the U.S. embassy and the Marine barracks in Lebanon not enough for people to realize that perhaps we as Americans were not dealing with a conventional enemy? Did the American people take notice, no. Did the world take notice, no.
Before the end of that horrendous year on December 12, 1983, the U.S. embassy in Kuwait City, Kuwait was attacked by Shiite truck bombers killing 5 and injuring 80.
Did America start to take notice, no.
Then a second time within 17 months on September 20, 1984 a suicide bomber driving a truck packed with 400 pounds of explosives targeted the American embassy in Aukar, nine miles north of Beirut. 23 people are killed and 21 injured.
More flag draped coffins, did America start to notice a trend here, no.
Dec. 3, 1984 we had the hijacking of Kuwait Airways Flight 221on its way from Kuwait to Pakistan. After it was hijacked it was diverted to Tehran. The hijackers killed two American officials from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Hezbollah was once again found to be behind this as well.
Did anyone notice, no.
The Middle East wasn't the only area Americans were attacked. On April 12, 1985 the El Descanso restaurant just outside Madrid, Spain was bombed. The explosion killed 18 Spaniards and injured 82 others, including 11 American servicemen, who according to the investigation were the target of the attack. The Islamic Jihad Organization claimed responsibility for the bombing.
More Americans targeted, did we notice, no.
Once again, Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad struck at Americans. On June 14, 1985, TWA Flight 847 was hijacked. The eight crewmembers and 145 passengers endured a three-day intercontinental ordeal and were held for 17 days. Some passengers were beaten. Passengers with Jewish sounding names were separated from the others, and U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem was tortured and murdered. His body was thrown onto the tarmac. Dozens of passengers were held hostage over the next two weeks until released by their captors after some of their demands were met.
Flag draped coffin of U.S. Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem. Did America notice, no.
It wasn't only the American servicemen and women that had to worry. On October 7, 1985, four heavily armed Palestinian terrorists hijacked the Italian cruise ship, Achille Lauro. The ship had more than 400 passengers and crew. The terrorists killed disabled American tourist 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer because he was a Jew, and threw his body overboard with his wheelchair.
Did anyone outside of the Klinghoffer family notice, not really.
Muslim terrorists found that airports were easier than cruise ships and on December 27, 1985, four PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) terrorists walked up to the shared ticket counter for Israel's El Al Airlines and Trans World Airlines at Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport outside Rome, Italy. After they fired assault rifles and threw grenades 16 were dead and 99 were injured.
Within minutes on the same day the Schwechat Airport (Vienna International Airport) in Vienna, Austria, was attacked as well. Three terrorists threw hand grenades into a crowd of passengers checking in for a flight to Tel Aviv, two people were killed instantly and 39 others injured. A third victim died on January 22, 1986, of hand grenade wounds sustained in the attack. These two attacks killed 19 people, 5 of whom were Americans. The bombing was linked to Libya.
More Americans dead, did America notice, no.
On April 2, 1986, terrorists exploded a bomb inside TWA Flight 840 as it flew from Rome to Athens. Four American citizens, including a nine-month-old infant fell to their deaths after being sucked from the cabin through the nine-by-four foot hole that the blast created in the side of the plane. Five others on the aircraft were injured as the cabin suffered a rapid decompression.
Anyone remember TWA 840, anyone notice, no.
April 5, 1986, saw the attack on the La Belle discothèque in West Berlin, Germany. This was yet another location that was commonly frequented by United States soldiers. A bomb placed under a table near the disk jockey's booth exploded killing three people and injuring 230 people, including 79 American servicemen. This attack was also linked to Libya.
More American servicemen, Did any Americans notice, no.
Another hijacking of an American plane occurred on September 5, 1986, while on the ground at Karachi, Pakistan, by four terrorists from the Abu Nidal Organization. Pan Am Flight 73 had 360 on board, twenty of the passengers were killed during the hijacking, 13 were from India and the rest were from United States, Pakistan and Mexico.
American plane, any Americans notice, no.
Excluding Americans that were killed in Israel in other terror attacks, there was two years of quiet that was shattered in Lockerbie on December 21, 1988. This time it was Pan Am Flight 103 departing from Frankfurt to New York. It was blown up in midair, killing all 259 passengers and another 11 people on the ground in Scotland.
You would have thought that after this Americans would take notice, no.
On January 27, 1989, three simultaneous bombings were carried out against U.S. business targets, the Turkish American Businessmen Association and the Economic Development Foundation in Istanbul, and the Metal Employees Union in Ankara.
More Americans as targets, did America notice, no.
More Americans were targeted on June 12, 1989, in Bosphorus Straits, Turkey. A bomb exploded aboard an unoccupied boat used by U.S. consular staff. The explosion caused extensive damage but no casualties.
American State Department employees targeted, any Americans notice, no.
Between 1989 and 1991 there were no less than 6 attacks on Americans and American servicemen all on U.S. bases. On October 11, 1989, in Izmir, Turkey, an explosive charge went off outside a U.S. military PX.
On February 7, 1991, in Adana, terrorists shot and killed a U.S. civilian contractor as he was getting into his car at the Incirlik Air Base, Turkey.
On February 28, 1991, two terrorists shot and wounded a U.S. Air Force officer as he entered his residence in Izmir, Turkey.
On March 28, 1991, three U.S. marines were shot at and injured by an unknown terrorist while driving near Camp Three, in Jubial, Saudi Arabia.
On October 28, 1991, Victor Marwick, an American soldier serving at the Turkish-American base, Tuslog in Ankara, Turkey, was killed and his wife wounded in a car bomb attack. The Turkish Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.
Lastly on October 28, 1991, two car bombings killed a U.S. Air Force sergeant and severely wounded an Egyptian diplomat in Istanbul, Turkey. The Turkish Islamic Jihad again claimed responsibility.
Yet more flag draped coffins, anyone notice, no.
1991 saw more attacks on Americans in Beirut, Lebanon. On November 8, a 100-kg car bomb destroyed the administration building of the American University in Beirut, killing one person and wounding more than a dozen.
Through all the attacks on Americans in 1991, did America notice, no.
On October 12, 1992, a U.S. soldier serving with the United Nations was stabbed and wounded near the port of Umm Qasr, Iraq.
Back in the U.S. on January 25, 1993, a Pakistani gunman opened fire on Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employees standing outside of the building in Virginia. Two agents, Frank Darling and Bennett Lansing, were killed and three others wounded.
This occurred on American soil in Virginia, did Americans notice, no.
Then in 1993 we had the first attack on the World Trade Center. On February 26, a massive bomb exploded in a van in the underground parking garage below the World Trade Center in New York City, killing six and wounding 1,042. Four terrorists were responsible for the attack.
At this point I really thought that America would take notice, I was wrong.
Between the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center and September 11, 2001 there were at least 55 other attacks around the world by Muslim terrorists that targeted Americans, many were killed and scores more injured, but America didn't notice.
These listed attacks were against Americans; during this same period Israel was the target of and suffered even more attacks.
Since 9/11 things have gotten worse throughout the world, not better. Somehow through backwards political correctness and ignorance, the perpetrator has made himself the victim. Sadly, that Americans notice and what's more, most Americans believe it.
It has been stated by leaders the world over as they have seen their own countries succumb to and be held hostage by Islam.
Former French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, on February 11, 2011, while being interviewed on French National Television about Islam in his country,
"My answer is clearly yes, it [multiculturalism] is a failure".
On February 5, 2011, U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, stated in a speech while speaking on taking a tougher stance on groups promoting Islamist terror in his country,
"Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism. Let's properly judge these organizations: Do they believe in universal human rights - including for women and people of other faiths? Do they believe in equality of all before the law? Do they believe in democracy and the right of people to elect their own government? Do they encourage integration or separatism?"
"Again it just seems the Muslim community is very much in the spotlight, being treated as part of the problem as opposed to part of the solution."
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany stated on October 17, 2010 while speaking on Muslims in Germany,
"We kidded ourselves for a while that they wouldn't stay, but that's not the reality."
"Of course the tendency had been to say, 'let's adopt the multicultural concept and live happily side by side, and be happy to be living with each other'. But this concept has failed, and failed utterly."
As leader after leader has seen their country under the threat of terror and retaliation become more Islamic, more Sharia compliant and they lose their right to free speech, they have all come to the same conclusion. Americans though don't take notice.
The Arab Spring has brought us more Islamic ruled governments, not more "freedom"; the reason is simple, what we in the West refer to as "freedom" is not what Muslims see as freedom. Their freedom is that of the Quran. Their freedom is the word of Allah. Their freedom is living like they did 1400 years ago. Period.
If you think I am wrong, look at the Middle East. Take notice.
I'm tired of being called "an alarmist", I'm tired of being called "an Islamophobe", I'm tired of being called "a nut", but most of all I'm tired of America not waking up to the truth.
Since the terror attack that should have been the one to end all others, 9/11, there have been 19,680 deadly attacks, with over 260,000 deaths, all in the name of Islam. This is not a few people "that have hijacked a religion". This is the religion. This is Islam. It's time to take notice.

The media basically says stay calm or nothing to see here. Our representatives say nothing about the bodies being brought back to their states or use the attacks as photo ops. The president(s) make excuses and the schools (colleges) tell the kids that the attacks are retaliation because we police the world and kill more of them than we do us...blada, blada, blah...and when we 'notice' we don't know what to do. Contact a rep? Better not email it. You'll get back a form letter. So, what(s) to do? Exposure. shout it from the rooftops; as you do by thee great articles; over and over again. Celebrate your Birthday, Gadi. Celebrate it knowing that in this free country; for now; you can. Celebrate it as if it could be your last. Celebrate it determined to make damned sure that is is not your last. And celebrate it well. We know how the story ends.

Many of us noticed. I did! It's just that our stupid and cowardly politicians don't pay any attention to us. We have to teach once again that we live in a republic, not a democracy. Democracy is mob rule, as the risible "Arab spring" has amply proven. No PC for me!

First of all, congratulations on a most brilliant article!
Secondly, Happy Birthday!
Next....why are Americans "ostriches"? We are so complacent and ignorant of facts - those reported and those rumored! We really, as free Americans, have no concept of what the rest of the world is going through. We bury our heads and hope the "bad news" will go away, replaced by football and baseball scores!
Don't know what it will take for us to wake up to reality and see that the Muslim community is bent upon conquering our American way of life. I can't blame all Muslims, but if you look at the population of the world, you'll realize that we are becoming sorely outnumbered. The radicals among the world population is "out for blood" and the anti-American philosophy is rampant.
Do we wake up? Do we read articles such as this wonderful one you've written wake us? I sorely doubt it, but....
Keep up the informative news you send us each week, Gadi - I for one am proud of your accomplishments!

The reason we keep speaking out my friend is because we still care.
Every day there is a new story that reminds us that the enemy is still out there....still targeting people. Today it was a teen girl, kidnapped from her Christian parents, repeatedly raped, forced to convert to Islam and then married off to a Muslim twice her age.
It is for people like that girl that we continue to speak out in spite of appalling apathy, insults and even threats against us.
You hit a home run every week....yeah, I know, the people who really need to hear it....don't...they don't care.
But we do and that still counts for something...

Very good read..I was very aware of the climate in the US and Israel. Am I shocked?.. No!..but, everyone should be shocked that our govt. reps and current admn. has continued to back page this, deny,and just totally ignore it.The embassy attacks that recently took place?..well I watched a video clip 2wks prior that was aired by a watch dog group who translates,and informs,that muslim brotherhood leader was calling for attacks on western and American instalations in M.E. and everywhere should be attacked on 9/11 it was their moral obligation as a "good muslim" to jihadi against the west in particular the Americans for supporting the zionist regime.obama missed several security meets that week leading up to these attacks to campaign?! Shocked and appalled! Mostly disgusted.Then to put "icing on the cake". He had his whole admn including himself go on tv tell everyone that it was because of a 13min video clip posted on you tube in July..,And that "WE" Americans caused it because WE hurt the religious feelings of muslims! What a crock! Am I shocked,.. am I surprised?..NO,I've watched him like a hawk. I've seen what he is doing to Israel right now and will soon do and has been doing to Americans. Only if he is re-elected he will proceed,only then, he will, become more and more brazen!

Great article, Gadi! I, too, am in my 50s, and have been studying islam for over 30 years (ever since I was stationed in the Middle East, back in the early '80s).
No problem was ever solved by ignoring it, yet the criminally negligent
greed-creed motto of those in charge always seems to be the exact opposite,
that: "There's No Money In Solutions! Whee!"
The real reason the islamic threat is being ignored in public, is this not-so-nascent "Globalization" movement, which is clearly treason to ALL sovereign national people's governments. It's a plutocratic kleptocracy to be run by all those corporazis who never want to pay any taxes to anyone, anywhere, ever; by the global communazi labour guys who want free movement and the same lowest common denominator wages for their 3rd-world slaves, and of course by the moslems who want their one-world islamic ummah, to be run by their theocratic caliphate government. It's a triple-threat. Against all these evil forces, we have only the Truth ... while only they currently control both the fear and the greed.
As long as ONLY the enemy controls both the behavioural conditioning binaries of the stick (fear of personally having one's own family firebombed or beheaded by the Jihad) and the carrot (greed for oil-money bribes), those sales-puppets we
laughingly call "our leaders" and their complicit media presstitute pets will insist on maintaining their preposterously backwards, victim-blaming "narrative" that only we are to blame for the Qur'an's 1,400 years of hate, so that we should all "Submit and learn how to be better victims!"
All the liberals' backwards nonsense really amounts to, is the victim-blaming cry that it should be illegal to accuse any criminals of their crimes, if doing so might hurt their feelings (and so "force" them to commit even more crimes)!
2012-10-03 00:04:46 |210.23.90.xxx| The Infidel Alliance - THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR
Dear Mr. Adelman and fellow readers,
This is a very important and moving article, but it overlooked our nations first warning about Islam - the Barbary Wars of 1801 -1805 and again in 1815. Our founding fathers faced this threat, understood it, wrote about it and defeated it...and yet we forgot about it. We forgot that our VERY FIRST FOREIGN WAR was against Islam.
As important as it is to understand how often the United States has been attacked by Islam, the problem is much greater than that. We are not in a 'War on Terror" any more than World War 2 was a 'War on Blitzkreig'. We are in nothing less thab THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR.
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR? Yes.
If we look at the facts we can see the truth, that Islam is not just at war with the United States and Israel, but with all non-Islamic peoples, cultures and civilizations in every corner of the globe.
It is Islam against:
- the Catholics in the Philippines (routine slaughter &
beheadings)
- the Christians & Ahmadiyya in Indonesia (routine slaughter &
- Australian tourists in Hindu Bali (blown up…twice)
- the Buddhists in Thailand (routine slaughter & beheadings)
- the Hindus & Sikhs in India (hundreds of years battling the Islamic
Jihad)
- the Jews in Mumbai (slaughtered)
- the Zoroastrians & Baha'i in Iran (virtually exterminated)
- Islamic converts to Christianity in Afghanistan (death fatwa)
- ancient Buddhist statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan (blown up)
- the Chaldean Christians in Iraq (routine persecution, slaughter & church
burnings)
- the Jews in Israel (routine attacks against civilians, threat of 2nd
genocide)
- the Jews in Yemen (nearly exterminated)
- S. Korean & German tourists in Yemen (kidnapped, blown up)
- the Coptic Christians in Egypt (routine persecution, slaughter & church
attacks)
- the Christians & animists in Sudan (genocide)
- the Christians in Kenya (constant Jihadist threat)
- all non-Muslims in Mali (persecuted by Islamic Sharia)
- the Christians in Nigeria (routine Jihadist attacks)
- U.S. embassies in Tanzania & Kenya (blown up)
- the athiests in Europe (the prime target)
- the native French in Paris (torched car terrorism)
- Jews in Paris (read the grisly story of Ilan Halimi, a Jewish shop clerk who
was kidnapped, tortured and killed in 2006)
- the native Swedes in Malmo (Islamic rape brigades)
- the native Dutch in Amsterdam (routinely terrorized)
- Dutch politicians (Geert Wilders & Ayyan Hirsi Ali – death fatwa)
- Dutch cinematographers (Theo vanGogh savagely murdered by an Islamist in
broad daylight)
- Danish cartoonists (Kurt Westergaard – death fatwa)
- Dutch newspaper editors (Flemming Rose, Jyllands-Posten's culture editor
–death fatwa)
- Train commuters in Spain (blown up)
- Tube commuters in London (blown up)
- the airport in Scotland (blown up)
- Jews in Argentina (blown up)
- Jews in Caracas (blown up)
- Twin Tower office workers in N.Y. (blown up – twice)
- Defense workers in the Pentagon (blown up – airliner jihad)
- Army/Navy military recruiters in Little Rock (gunned down by an Islamist)
- Soldiers at Ft. Hood Texas (gunned down by an Islamist infiltrator)
- Pedestrians at the U. of N. Carolina (run down with an SUV by Islamist)
- Journalists like Daniel Pearl (savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Nick Berg, Kim Sung-il, Piotr Stanczyk, Jack Hensley, Eugene Armstrong, Paul
Johnson (infidels savagely decapitated by Islamists)
- Jewish centers in Seattle (attacked by Islamist Jihadist)
- Jewish centers in Toronto (attacked by Islamist Jihadist)
- Infidel Delta Airlines passengers (underwear bomber)
- Times Square pedestrians (SUV bomber)
- Soccer fans in Uganda (Blown up while watching the world cup)
- Churches in Iraq, Nigeria, Indonesia, Malaysia (blown up)
- Buddhist temples in Bangladesh (burned down by raging
Jihadists)
- Embassies in Egypt, Libya (attacked by Jihadists)
And on, and on, and on……….
It is Islam against everyone, everything, everywhere that is not Islamic.
It is Dar al-Islam against Dar al-Harb. Them against us, not us against them.
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR – the supremecist totalitarian violent mandate by Allah & Muhammed in the Koran & Ahadith:
"Allahsaid 'A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to
manifest the religion.'" - Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 327
The Messenger of Allah said "I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" - Muslim 1:33
Allah's Apostle Muhammed said "I have been made victorious with terror" - Bukhari 52:220
Could it be anymore crystal clear? The doctrine? The mandates? The method? The tactics? The violence? The hatred? The undeniable history?
I've been beating this drum for years. We MUST start controlling the narrative. We must start calling this what it really is. We must get these word in the common consciousness and lexicon:
THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR.
It's real. Please help spread the truth.

Q: IF ELSE in OOP PHP I am writing an if else statement in OOP;
The conditions are:
1. Get all  requests from BSC from 789789 or 987897
2. If RNB is starting 17 and are 15 characters long
3. Those values with cost as 15 send to URL 1
4. Else send to URL 2

If it matches the statement it is sent to a specific URL, if it does not it sent to another URL. I have rewritten the conditional statement below:
if($request->BSC = 789789 or 987897 && $request->RNB = 17 && $request->BRN strlen = 15 && $request->Cost = 11){
    send to URL 1
} else{
    ..Send to URL 2
}

My question is conditional statement correct?

A: Your question is a little unclear,
I try to fix your if statement just to show you the correct syntax!:
if( ($request->BSC == 789789 || $request->BSC == 987897) &&  strpos($request->RNB,'7') == 0  && $request->BRN == 15&& $request->Cost == 11){
    //send to URL 1
} else{
    //send to URL 2
}

This line :
  strpos($request->RNB,'7') == 0

Means:    RNB should start with 7, for example : 765433 or 789998 or 712342 . ..

QRS PNOscan Studio enables any acoustic piano to become a master midi controller powerhouse, recording studio, musical notation interface, or a piano teaching phenomenon.
Pianists and musicians can now instantly capture every nuance, subtlety, note, phrase, and expression, of piano performances and practice sessions, into musical notation software, from any acoustic piano.
Opening up a world of possibilities, PNOScan allows pianists to transform any acoustic piano into a midi controller masterpiece, never fully imagined, nor realized, in the realm of acoustic pianos, prior to its inception.
QRS PNOscan Studio: No technology in the way.
PNOScan utilizes optical sensors, and is essentially, a "touchless" system. It does not affect the touch or sound of an acoustic piano, since it is optical in nature, and captures the slightest movement of each key, at 1,000x per second, per sensor, per each piano key.
Writing music, creating songs, scoring an orchestra, and transcribing musical notation on an acoustic piano are now made easy and possible, with PNOScan.
Imagine for a moment: You sit down to play at your OWN ACOUSTIC PIANO.
You press the record button. For a moment, the anxiety and worry about YOUR MUSIC being GONE from your MIND FOREVER, BEFORE you EVER HAVE to WRITE IT DOWN, is now a thing of the past.
Acoustic piano music can now be captured, notated, recreated, recomposed, and redefined through the use of this system.
Whether you use Apple's Garage Band, Sibelius, Score Cloud, or Playground Sessions, your acoustic piano is now a master midi controller.
Never before has an acoustic piano had the ability to accomplish what could only be accomplished on a digital keyboard.
Orchestral instruments can now be played synchronously with your piano, or on their own (instead of your piano), with the silent feature. Choose sounds from any midi device: strings, cello, choir, woodwinds, brass, or a flute section, to create your music.
Your options are virtually limitless.
Almost any master midi controller keyboard allows you to have access to an UNLIMITED NUMBER OF VOICES and SAMPLES, through the use of MIDI.
PNOScan allows you to transmit voices through your acoustic piano with any MIDI PROGRAM SOFTWARE of your choice.
ALSO, The PAST METHOD of WRITING OUT musical notation, with pencil and paper, has been ELIMINATED, and YOUR PIANO MUSIC -- created, written, and notated THOUGH AN ACOUSTIC PIANO -- can be instantly saved for you to revisit, again, and again, and again.
The frustrating minutes upon hours, upon days, upon weeks, and months of writing out musical notation, frustrating as it can be, is gone, forever.
Writing music can eventually turn into years upon years of wasted time and effort: putting pencil to paper, erasing and recreating -- and of course, we ALWAYS REMEMBER to WRITE DOWN what we CREATE, the exact moment it arrives, right?
Writing down music is now a thing of the past.
Writing and creating music is now effortless, enjoyable, efficient, and NEVER AMOUNTS to a FLEETING or LOST MOMENT of UNCAPTURED CREATIVITY, or ANY LOSS of PASSION, at the ACOUSTIC PIANO.
You are in CONTROL of COMPOSING at the PIANO, NOW.
You can FINALLY GET RID of your "OLD" and TIME CONSUMING METHODS of CREATING, WRITING, and CAPTURING your ACOUSTIC piano music and compositions, with mouse clicks or pencil shavings and lines.
NOW YOU CAN BE IN CONTROL and the CREATOR of your PIANO MUSIC EMPIRE.
This optical interface actually and optically reads at 1,000x per second EACH KEY, EVERY NOTE, EACH PHRASE, and DURATION, essentially EVERY MUSICAL PHRASE you write and create.
You can share your musical compositions, via email, instantly print them out, or simply save them to your hard drive - or the limitless cloud - whichever you prefer.
Use the PNO3 processor and simply play without pressing record, or press the record button of your notation software, and record every nuance of every key, including your sustain pedal, with PNOScan.
*Piano technician and/or tuner must be designated by Total Piano Care.
PianoDisc Pro Record is $400 extra + $350 for installation, and one (1) sustain pedal connection. Additional pedal connection(s), are extra.
Pianos which require a pitch correction are subject to an additional $35-$65 cost, limited to 5 cents flat of A440Hz. Piano must be able to hold a tuning of A440Hz, with an acceptable tuning pin torque of 75% strength or greater for the best results. Tuning pin torque and pitch origin are based on servicing technician's judgement and technical assessment. Additional pitch correction's extra cost (up to $100) shall be determined by Total Piano Care. Offer subject to piano technicians' availability and may not be substituted or combined with any other offer or discount by Total Piano Care. Terms and conditions are subject to those found at the Terms & Conditions link, found below.

A forgotten ambassador brought back to life: Syud Hossain | Book Review
Syud Hossain inspired and irked in equal measure. Image courtesy: IANS
Published: December 30, 2020 11:02 PM IST
Born to an aristocratic family in Calcutta, he started a career in journalism early in life and became the editor of Motilal Nehru's nationalist newspaper, "The Independent".
Translation of S Hareesh's 'Moustache' in JCB 2020 shortlist
History of dissent explored by Romila Thapar in new book
After a brief elopement with Nehru's sister, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Hossain, under immense pressure from Motilal Nehru and Gandhi, annulled the marriage and was asked to stay away from the country for a few years.
Thus began several years of exile.
Eventually, he landed in the US where he imparted Gandhi's message far and wide across the country. Gathering a group of Indian freedom fighters around him, he fought for India's freedom from afar, decrying British oppression and garnering support in the US for his cause.
Flitting from one place to another, making homes of hotel rooms, Syud Hossain inspired and irked in equal measure.
With every speech he delivered and every editorial he penned, he sent a shiver down the spine of the colonial rulers.
Adding to his formidable list of causes, Hossain also took on the fight for Indian immigrant rights in the US, one that successfully culminated in President Harry Truman signing the Luce-Celler Bill into an Act in 1946. He returned to India to witness the triumph of her Independence, as well as the tragedy of Gandhi's assassination.
He was appointed the first ever Indian ambassador to Egypt, where he died while in service and was laid to rest in Cairo.
"A Forgotten Ambassador in Cairo" (Simon & Schuster) offers an illuminating narrative of Hossain's life interspersed with historical details that landscapes a vivid political picture of that era. Through primary sources that include Hossain's private papers, the British Intelligence files, letters of his friends and contemporary newspapers, N.S. Vinodh brilliantly brings to life a man who has been relegated far too long to the shadows of time.
Vinodh, is a civil engineering graduate from IIT, Madras, and a M.B.A. from IIM, Lucknow. In a corporate career spanning 25 years, he has held senior positions in corporate real estate with leading multi-national financial services companies such as ANZ Grindlays Bank, HSBC, and Fidelity Investments. He opted for early retirement to start his own boutique real estate company, as well as pursue his passion of travelling and history. He is married to Sheela and they have two sons, both based in the United States. He is based in Bangalore.

At the age of 8, Tom Calloway became a mechanic by repairing bicycles for children in his neighborhood. He has been a mechanic ever since. Today he is a Master Mechanic.
In his teens, Tom best friend's father would teach him to work on his car to give him hands on experience... and to keep his hands clean!
After graduating from high school, Tom had to make a decision on what direction to take in life. "I wanted to do something I was good at, would enjoy to retirement and had a passion for. That was working on cars." He went to vocational school and trained to become a mechanic.
In the 1970's Tom worked at a Ford dealership where he gained plenty of opportunity to "Fix Or Repair Daily." The occasional European car that came through the shop, gave him his first exposure to European cars. It was then he first discovered the joy of working on German cars. He was challenged by their sophistication and developed an appreciation for their intricate nature and their advanced technology. Being the only mechanic in the shop interested in working on European cars gave him the on-the-job-training with Euro-cars that his vocational training had lacked.
"European cars seem to be 10 years ahead of the technology of domestic cars. My decision to work exclusively on European cars was driven by a desire to stay ahead of the curve. They give me a great mental exercise, plus the satisfaction of repairing them."
In 1982 he became the Service Manager at a Lincoln Mercury dealership, a position he held until he started his own business in 1990. This is where he learned that the Customer was as important as the vehicle - a lesson he was to take to heart. But he missed the hands-on mechanical work and decided to open his own shop where he could work on the types of cars he enjoyed the most - German cars.
Disappointed with the bureaucracy of dealerships that isolated the Customers from the mechanics, Tom created a different type of service environment when he opened his own shop: "My Customers walk into my office and speak to me directly. And I am the person who will be servicing their car. There is no middle man. In the process, they learn that I have a real passion for European cars. They know that I will take good care of theirs."

Гаоны (), единственное число гаон (, букв. величие, гордость; в современном иврите также гений) — духовные лидеры еврейского народа, бывшие высшим авторитетом в толковании Пятикнижия Моисея и Талмуда и применении его принципов при решении галахических вопросов (конец VI в. — середина XI в.).

Центром их деятельности были талмудические академии — Сурская и Пумбедитская в Вавилонии, а титул гаона означал, что его обладатель является главой иешивы (мужской школы / академии) в этом городе.

В Х и XI вв. титул гаона имели и величайшие мудрецы в Земле Израиля.

Первым, к кому относят титул гаона, был Мар бар рав Гуна (591 год) в Суре, последним считается рав Гаи бен Шрира гаон, который был главой иешивы в Пумбедите с 1004 по 1038 годы.

Самые известные из гаонов — Иегудай (VIII в.), Амрам бен Шешна, Саадия Гаон, Шрира бен Ханина Гаон, Шмуэль бен Хофни (умер в 1013 г.) и Гаи бен Шрира.

Во времена гаонов появляется новый жанр в еврейской религиозной литературе — респонса, письменный ответ гаона, а позднее раввина, на заданный ему галахический вопрос. Причиной возникновения жанра респонс была отдалённость многих еврейских общин от центров учёности, которые во времена гаонов были сосредоточены в Вавилонии и Земле Израиля.

MARQUET, Pierre Albert
Date: French, 1875-1947
Marquet was born in 1875 at Bordeaux France. In 1890 he moved to Paris to attend the Decorative Arts School, where he met fello artist Henri Matisse. Marquet began studies in 1892 at the École des Beaux-Arts under Gustave Moreau, a symbolist artist who was a follower of the Romantic tradition of Eugène Delacroix.In these years, Marquet exhibited paintings at the Salon des Indépendants. Although he did not sell many paintings, the artistic community of Paris became aware of his work.
His early compositions are characterised by a painterly, Fauvist approach. Dismayed by the intense coloration in their paintings, critics reacted by naming artists, including Marquet Fauves, the wild beasts. Although Marquet painted with the Fauves for years, he used less bright and violent colours than his fellow artists, and emphasized less intense tones made by mixing complementaries, thus always as colors and never as grays.
During his voyages to Germany and Sweden, Marquet painted subjects including: river and sea views, ports and ships, and also cityscapes. Over the course of his career he often returned to the same subjects, even years later, recording subtle differences in the light. At the end of 1907 he stayed in Paris and dedicated himself, together with Henri Matisse, to a series of city views.
