Upstairs in the cozy, couch-laden den, Yugoslavian Bojana Popic sits before the television. Videotapes of television news segments displaying her war-torn hometown of Sarajevo play before her. Telephone lines were knocked out nearly two months ago when the Serbians and Bosnians first took their long brewing animosity to the city streets. Fortunately, Popic knows her family is OK. Her mother works at the national radio station, and can call her weekly to supply updates and reassurance. I'd have to see it for myself to be fully persuaded.

The current standard-bearer of those teams seems to be Croatia. The Croats, who have reached the World Cup final for the first time and will face France on Sunday for the title, have had the most success at the world's biggest soccer tournament since Yugoslavia descended into war in and spawned seven different FIFA nations. Croatia reached the semifinals at the World Cup with a team led by striker Davor Suker that beat Germany in the quarterfinals before losing to host France. Croatia then won the third-place match against Netherlands, the best World Cup finish for any team from the former Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia had its own success back in the day.

L. A. Gouch, architect, Harlem, has shown us plans for cast-iron partition wallSj which appear to be far superior in every respect, and can be put up for less than those of brick. They are formed of perforated plates bolted together, each of about one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness, and secured so as to make a partition of four inches in thickness, having an air space between, which will answer for ventilation, gas pipes, water pipes, and hot air pipes. These plates can be covered with plaster and made to resemble a hard-finish wall. These partitions will be fireproof, and flanges are cast upon them for joists and beams of flooring and stairs. Such a partition can be taken down at any time, by merely unscrewing the bolts, and not like brick, mortar,'and iath walls, it will be as good as ever, and can answer the same pur-posela thousand times over, and last for a thousand years. The application of iron to architecture is an invention which should attract universal attention.


Every morning between now and the grand final in May, the team from wiwibloggs will be rounding up the latest titbits from the world of Eurovision 2019. We've trawled through Instagram, Twitter and elsewhere so that y'all don't have to. Whether you're commuting to work, sitting on the school bus or still tucked under the covers, this is the Daily Digest for Friday 22 March.
Dopo anni da spettatore, il 25 maggio avrò l' onore di esibirmi al @miami_fest ??
? The Czech representatives for Eurovision, @lakemlw, were lucky enough to shoot their postcard during the holiday of #Purim!
We surprised them with a traditional Mishloach Manot – a basket full of Israeli classic snacks.
Additional contributions from William, Robyn and Luis.
Are you excited for Tamta's stage show? Will you attempt to stitch Hatari? Let us know in the comments.
Today we got a glimpse of Portugal's postcard with Conan Osíris, and we can't wait to see the finished product!
hey wiwi, just pointing out that Purim isn't an 'Israeli halloween', as you guys said, but a Jewish holiday, or 'Jewish halloween' if you will. Israel is not all Jews, all Jews are not Israel, etc, which I'm sure you all know, and out of respect, it would be appreciated it if you didn't refer to it that way.
Conan is just super cool.
Conan is such a nice guy.
O NATAL É CHIC LATTE.
Conan Osíris feat. Nicki Minaj sounds fun, make it happen!
Same song, same choreographer. Replay Replay Fuego !
Katerine Duska looking like Iva Adamou's (iconic La La Love) twin.
I have a book about make crochet dolls, if anyone interested in their own mini Hatari ?
By the way, EuroV*ix mentioned that there will be a new style of vote presentation this year. I hope it's not a total revamp.
Sometimes they post rumours as real news, so I'll wait for an official statement by EBU.
They're better on it than Wiwi, bless 'em, but it does slip through sometimes.
Oh, and not sure you mentioned Soldi was certified double platinum… Congrats to him!
And on March 29 will start Sanremo giovani world tour, which will be a great opportunity for Mahmood to spread to the world his music and talent. The tour will take place in Tunisi, Tokyo, Sydney (good for eurovision), Buenos Aires, Toronto, Barcelona (even better for eurovision's sponsorship) and Brussels.
But have you seen a post about this?
Only king Salvador can b**** about other songs.
And he also praised Belgium's "City Lights" and Finland's "Black Bird".
I remember that too – he actually sang some of it on the red carpet launch of Eurovision in Kiev, much to the amusement of his sister!
God! What an obsession! You must be in love with him and be buttheard because you cannot have him.
Do you want another coincidence? Both representants from Italy as the same horoscope sign, the same happens with representants from Portugal.
I want Italy to win this time and of course I wish a good result for Conan Osiris.
OohHoney – maybe you could check reaction videos on youtube. Even if you'll not be able the entire song, you could get some pieces from different reactions. There are many reaction video channels out there.
It's ok, I don't care for the lyrics.

Embrace Your Flaws
Lucy cut her legs when she was depressed
She wants people to flaunt their flaws
'I was bullied through many years of my school life, and I developed mental health problems. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and anorexia. It led to suicidal thoughts and self-harm: I used to cut the top of my legs.'
Lucy Ingle from Haverfordwest says she's much better now and is studying adult nursing at Cardiff University. But until recently she was very self-conscious about her scars.
'I went on a girls' holiday. Everyone was in bikinis – and I was looking at other people's legs and thinking – oh, that's not a normal thing to have on my legs. People asked me about them – oh my god, what happened? Are you in pain? It was quite traumatic.'
But soon afterwards, 18-year-old Lucy decided she wasn't going to be defined by her scars.
'I'm thinking do you know what? They are part of me,' she says. 'Why should I be bothered if people are looking at them?
'They're there and I'm not going to say I'm proud for doing them. But I'm proud that I went through such a tough time that I felt the need to hurt myself and I'm through that time now.'
Lucy's insight led her to devise a campaign designed to get people of all ages to accept their appearance, especially any scars or marks they may have on their skin.
She says: 'I'm hoping it will make people understand that marks on their body are normal. Some tell a story and others are just what makes you unique. I want people to accept themselves fully, and realise if someone thinks their mark is ugly or weird, then that opinion should not be listened to!'
Hear from others affected by this issue. Click to read their stories.
With Fixers, Lucy has created a filter with the text 'Embrace Your Flaws' to put on social media such as Snapchat or Instagram.
'The idea's to encourage people to host a picture of something they're insecure about but which they shouldn't be insecure about, and share it with the world.'
Lucy says the main objectives are to help others realise they're not alone in what they're going through, and to empower them.
'We all have insecurities, every one of us,' she says. 'I had my scars and it was such a big thing, and such a big relief when I accepted them. People shouldn't be ashamed of what they see as flaws.'
This project was supported by The Tampon Tax Fund distributed by The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

As the dust settles, we look to our next Festival. – Chatsworth Road Festival.
As the dust settles, we look to our next Festival.
I know that we've only just finished with this year's festival but the Festival Group have begun to think about 2013. There was a review meeting yesterday. Despite everyone being a bit tired after this year's event, we were keen to look to the future. So here's our first idea. We're looking for a pubs co-ordinator who will chat to the Chatsworth Rd pubs and help them to get involved with the Festival. The play in a pub was a lovely event this year and we've heard of some great ideas but it needs a body to inspire, motivate and co-ordinate for things to happen. It could be a great addition to the 2013 festival… Do you know someone who fits the bill?

Church Histories
Victory Christain Center
Pastor: Bob Meyer
Submitted By: Victory Christian Center
Victory Christian Center was born in the heart of Mrs. Betty Fredrick. After the death of
her husband in 1975, while visiting Mt. Vernon, she felt the Lord wanted her to start a work
ministering to people spirit, soul and body and to build unity in the body of Christ. She began
having fellowship meetings at 1719 Broadway and named the ministry The House of Refuge.
Those early meetings were mainly oriented toward worshipping God, getting people reconciled
to God, and to teach them how to live a victorious, Christian life.  Whatever the need was, those
at The House of Refuge would apply the Word of God the best they knew how to set people free.
Early on, there was extensive fellowship with other churches and ministries. At that time the
direction was that The House would be placed of camaraderie. In the following years, responsibility
and leadership changed - but the vision remained the same.
The church began with one building and a small cottage. Through the years the original building
has been remodeled to accommadate more people. In addition, we began acquiring various pieces of
property on the block. We now own thirteen pieces of property.
In 1983, The House of Refuge began with approxiamtely fourteen people. By 2002, we had about
175 in attendance. Currently, we have about 150 in attendance.
Victory Christian Academy opened in the fall of 1988 with six students ranging from first
through fifth grades in one room. Since then V.C.A. has steadily grown to include kindergarten
through twelfth grade including additional programs and services. Our vision continues to expand
as we make plans for new facilities that will allow us to increase our student body.
In order to properly cover all outreach ministries contained in the Statement of Purpose,
The House of Refuge was re-chartered in November 1988.
The name was changed to Victory Christian Center. The vision and outreach is the same today: to
minister to people in all walks of life and to build unity in the body of Christ. Emphasis is
placed on worshipping God, soul winning, discipling, and building unity in the body of Christ.
The very foundation for this work has been laid, kept stable, and will remain steadfast
through the prayers of those who gave themselves to the Lord and this ministry.

Q: Add Custom Profile Field as Notes I would like to add a custom field "NOTES" to the user profile. This custom field should not only be updated,saved and display the current value but be displayed as ongoing (previous and current) notes on the user profile. For example:
1/1/2012 user xx wrote: Lorem ispum ispum
1/2/2012 user xx wrote: Lorem ispum ispum ispum
1/3/2012 user xx wrote: Lorem ispum ispum ispum ispum
All "Notes" that the user adds should be displayed on his profile.
Any help is highly appreciated! Thank you!

A: it would be easier to create a custom post type Notes, than on a user page just get all notes of a specific author and than display them.
By creating a custom post type you may easily create a interface and all saving/handling functions.
If you would like to do it as a custom field in the user edit screen it would take a lot of work, and it would be just a waste of time cause currently custom post types are really great to customize.

Pham dealt from Cards to Rays for 3 minor leaguers
Tommy Pham
John Mozeliak
By Associated Press - Tuesday, July 31, 2018
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Tommy Pham awoke to the news he had been traded on Tuesday morning, courtesy of a phone call from St. Louis Cardinals President John Mozeliak.
The outfielder is headed to join the Tampa Bay Rays as part of the deal, a year after establishing himself as one of the National League's top outfielders - and providing yet another shakeup for the struggling Cardinals in the process.
"I was really shocked," Pham said in an interview on MLB Network Radio. "When you wake up to your boss calling you and telling you you got traded, it's shocking."
St. Louis sent the 30-year-old and $500,000 in international signing bonus allocation to the Rays for a trio of minor leaguers: outfielder Justin Williams, left-hander Genesis Cabrera and right-hander Roel Ramirez.
The move is another dramatic change for a disappointing St. Louis team that entered the day fourth in the NL Central and fired former manager Mike Matheny in mid-July. The Cardinals are likely to miss the postseason for a third straight year for the first time since 1997-99.
"It hurts, specifically for me because I've been underperforming from my expectations," Pham said on MLB Network Radio. "I feel like if I had just done my job better, we wouldn't be so far down in the standings."
Pham has been a member of the Cardinals organization since selected on the 16th round of the 2006 amateur draft. After a series of injuries, the center fielder had a breakout season in 2017 when he hit .306 with 23 homers and 25 steals in 128 games. He was 11th in the NL MVP voting.
Pham is hitting .248 with 14 home runs, 41 RBIs and 10 stolen bases this season. He talked during spring training of a 30-30 season in homers and steals, and he batted .358 in April before dropping to .197 in May and June.
Pham is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time next winter, and Rays manager Kevin Cash said he would start Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
"This is a total player," Tampa Bay general manager Erik Neander said. "Yes he's 30, yes we're talking about a young core of players, but it's three years of control with a guy we think has the potential to be an impact outfielder."
His departure could lead to more playing time for Harrison Bader, who is hitting .265. The Cardinals also called up outfielder Tyler O'Neill, who is hitting .311 with 26 home runs in 61 games at Triple-A Memphis, and promptly put him in the lineup against the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.
"It's not about me and what this creates for me as a player individually," Bader said. This is about how this opening will help this team win and make a push."
Williams, 22, is a former second-round draft pick and left-handed hitting outfielder who was batting .258 for Triple-A Durham. He made his major league debut this month and was an International League All-Star.
Cabrera, 21, is 7-6 with a 4.12 ERA in 21 games for Montgomery of the Double-A Southern League. Ramirez, 23, was 3-1 with a 3.32 ERA in 26 games as a reliever for Montgomery.
Also on Tuesday, the Cardinals traded minor league outfielder Oscar Mercado to the Cleveland Indians for minor league outfielders Conner Capel and Jhon Torres.
It was the trading of Pham, however, that had Mozeliak answering questions about another shakeup to a Cardinals team that's failed to meet expectations this season.
Mozeliak said the trade had nothing to do with an article in Sports Illustrated earlier this season in which Pham complained about not being called up from the minor leagues sooner.
"He was in the organization for 12 years, injured a lot, a lot of ups and downs, but in the end we were the ones that believed in him," Mozeliak said. "Most people who have his track record don't make it here."

For Nutter, it's 'Precedence Day'
THE CLOCK starts now for Mayor Nutter to finish what he started. Here are some of the priorities he says he'll pursue in his second term:
EDUCATION: This is the big challenge and a bigger headache. In the wake of the scandals surrounding former Superintendent Arlene Ackerman, Nutter has taken a more active role at the state-controlled school district. He wants to continue pushing to improve high school graduation rates and college attainment. He says he won't try to regain local control of the district.
PENSION: The city's pension fund is underwater, with less than half the money it needs to pay projected benefits. Something has to change and fast, if the city wants to get on strong financial ground for the future. But to do that, Nutter will have to go head-to-head with the powerful city-worker unions over pension reforms. He says he's committed to getting this done.
CRIME: With popular Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey still at his side, Nutter will keep trying to drive down crime rates. He said that that a renewed push to get illegal handguns off the streets will be part of that strategy.
WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT: The second term is when most mayors think about building something so they can leave a physical legacy on the city. Look east to the Delaware Waterfront, where the $6 million Race Street pier opened to acclaim in May. Nutter wants to use that to spark further development.
TAX REFORM: Nutter came into office with a long history of pushing for tax cuts, a position he was forced to abandon to balance three tough budgets. But he's hoping to restart small reductions to the business and wage taxes in the second term, as well as complete a daunting overhaul of how the city's notoriously unfair property taxes are calculated. Most think he'll try again for a soda tax, which would likely earn him national accolades, despite losing on that issue for the past two years.

The 109 Supreme Court allows Birdville prayer case to stand
Supreme Court allows Birdville prayer case to stand
Elizabeth Hinz
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a case Monday that argued whether student-led prayer, during Birdville Independent School District's board meetings, was constitutional.
Due to the Supreme Court's denial, the decision of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stands. The Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Birdville, stating the student-led prayer at board meetings was a legislative prayer, and therefore did not violate the constitution.
Birdville school's Superintendent Darrell Brown said in an email that students have first amendment rights and he is "pleased that the legal system supports the rights of our students to express themselves accordingly, including prayer if they so choose."
For 20 years, two students have opened the Birdsville board meetings. One leads the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. and Texas flag, and the other delivers some sort of statement of his or her choosing, which could be an invocation.
At some meetings, students presented poems or read secular statements, but usually it is a prayer.
Birdville High School alumnus Isaiah Smith attended a board meeting in 2014 and said in the case opinion he was offended by the student-led prayer because Birdville was "favoring religion over non-religion."
Smith and the American Humanist Association sued. They argued that Birdville promotes and endorses prayers delivered by the students at board meetings, in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
COURT OF APPEALS STAND
The Court of Appeals relied mostly on the 1983 Supreme Court Case Marsh v. Chambers, which upheld opening a Nebraska Legislature session with a chaplain's prayer. The opinion of the case, written by Chief Justice Burger, said "the opening of sessions of legislative and other deliberative public bodies with prayer is deeply embedded in the history and tradition of this country."
Both the district and court of appeals agreed the Birdville school board is more like a legislature than a school event or classroom.
TCU Professor of Political Science and attorney Donald Jackson said opening a legislative session with a prayer is part of American history that "has no content, it is devoid essentially of religious meaning, and it's a symbolic part of opening a legislative assembly."
The Court of Appeals also looked to the 2011 Supreme Court Case Town of Greece v. Galloway. This case showed legislative-prayers also applied to town-board meetings, and the main audience must be the lawmakers themselves, not the public. Birdville noted in its brief that the board members are the primary audience, and this was never proven otherwise.
Brite Divinity School Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Assistant Professor of American Religious History Jeffrey Williams said he thinks the Supreme Court didn't hear the case because they "didn't see a significant difference from the Birdville case and Town of Greece versus Galloway."
Jackson said if the Birdville district "is not involved in suggesting that the period be used for prayer, it ought to be the students' right if they chose to, entirely on their own, to pray."
WHY THESE CASES ARE STILL BEING DEBATED
Jackson said the requirement of separation of church and state is "probably violated, let's say, thousands of times almost every day in Texas."
More than 48 million students, about 90 percent of all school-aged children, learn in public school buildings, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Public schools are bound by the constitution to separate church and state, while still protecting the students' freedom of religion.
"Well you know [religion] is deeply engrained in our culture, which is perfectly understandable," Jackson said. "But people don't understand that they can't automatically translate that into the public sphere."
Williams said these public schools that violate the law sometimes have figures of authority such as principals, teachers or school boards who are willing to overlook the law because they believe it is appropriate for them to be able to pray in public spaces.
"A common way they will support this is they will say 'Well the majority of our students are Christians and they all agreed to being able to pray in Jesus's name,'" Williams said. "So, it doesn't seem to hurt anything, but I do think that's a very problematic argument."
From the football stadiums in Santa Fe Independent School District in Texas, a student-led prayer case made it to the Supreme Court in 2000.
The court held student-led, student-initiated prayer at football games violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. These prayers were public speech taking place on government property at government-sponsored school events.
Unlike the legislative environment of the Birdsville case, these prayers were being announced through the public-address system to the entire the audience of a public high school football game.
"The audience didn't come there to hear a prayer, they came to attend a football game so that was called a coercive environment," Jackson said. "They were subjected to the prayer whether they wanted the prayer or not."
Birdville board meetings may continue to have student-led prayers at the opening of the session.

The Most Dangerous Games: Chertik, Chertik, Or The Little Devil Game
December 26, 2018 by Lucia
Previously: Taikatalvi.
According to most sources, the game known as Chertik, Chertik is of Russian origin — "chertik," or чертик, meaning "little devil" in English. Indeed, the title of the English language version of the game is a direct translation of that word: It's known as the Little Devil Game.
I'm uncertain how far back this game goes, but for what it's worth, the supernatural and the occult feature quite prominently in Russian literature, with chertiks appearing left and right — in Aleksei Remizov's short story "Chertik," for example, and Velimir Khlebnikov's one-act play, also titled "Chertik." Superstition runs deep, though, and it's usually suggested that making a deal with the devil would be… a mistake.
Chertik, Chertik is part summoning ritual, part game of knowledge. Like the Compass Game, it involves making your own variation on a talking or Ouija board and fashioning a device that functions like a planchette from a few everyday objects. But like Sara Sarita, it would also be wise not to put too much trust in your correspondent. You are talking with the Devil, after all — or at least, a devil. And devils aren't generally known for their truthfulness or honesty.
They're known for their lies.
At least one principal.
A piece of paper.
A writing implement.
A needle.
A spool of thread. The thread may be any color, but red or black is recommended.
A small pair of sewing scissors.
A bow compass (optional, but recommended).
A candle.
Matches or a lighter.
Begin by placing the piece of paper on a flat surface inside your quiet room and using the writing implement to draw as perfect a circle as you can on it. If you have acquired a bow compass, use it to accomplish this step. The circle should be large, but leave enough space to be able to write between the circle's edge and the edges of the paper.
Draw a small dot in the center of the circle. If you used a bow compass to draw your circle, draw this dot on the pinprick in the paper left by the compass' needle.
Around this dot, draw a small illustration of a devil. It need not be especially detailed, but the illustrated devil should have cloven hooves, a forked tail, and — of course — horns. The dot should be positioned where the devil's heart would be — if devils had hearts, that is.
Along the outer edge of the circle, write the letters of the alphabet. Using your illustrated devil to orient yourself, position the "A" at the top (e.g. above the devil's head).
Along the inner edge of the circle, write the numbers zero through nine. The zero should align at the top of the circle with the "A."
Directly above the devil's head, write the word "YES." Directly below the devil's feet, write the word "NO."
Your board is now complete.
The Invitation:
If the lights are on, turn them off. If there are windows, close the curtains.
Place the candle near the piece of paper and light it using your matches or lighter.
Using the sewing scissors, cut a piece of thread about 20 inches in length. Thread the needle, doubling up the thread before you tie the ends off with a knot. When you hold the thread at the knot, the doubled-up thread should measure about 10 inches, with the needle dangling from the end of it.
If playing with two or more participants, set the needle and thread aside and join hands. If playing alone, skip this step and proceed to the next step.
Speak aloud — in unison, if playing with two or more participants — the words, "Forces of darkness, I ask for your help."
If playing with two or more participants, release your hands. If playing alone, skip this step and proceed to the next step.
Hold the needle to the candle's flame. Allow its point to get as hot as you can bear.
Remove the needle from the flame. Hold the thread by the knot at the end of it, allowing the needle to dangle over the piece of paper.
Still holding the knot in the thread, position the needle's point at the dot in the center of the devil illustration. You may wish to dig the point into the paper — just a bit. Be careful; don't dig too deep.
NOTE: Leave a small amount of slack in the thread; the needle should not stand completely upright. It should tilt out slightly at an angle. If you were to nudge the needle's eye gently with your finger, it should be able to rotate freely around the circle, with the point remaining secured at the center of the paper.
Repeat twice, aloud — again in unison, if playing with two or more participants — the phrase, "Chertik, Chertik, come!"
Ask aloud, "Chertik, Chertik, are you here?"
NOTE: Only one participant need ask this question; if playing with two or more participants, there is no need to speak in unison.
Watch the needle.
If the needle remains stationary, indicates "NO," or otherwise gives a negative or nonsensical answer: DO NOT PROCEED. Snip the thread with the sewing scissors, remove it from the needle, and hold the thread to the candle's flame until it has burned away completely. Then destroy and dispose of the paper and bury the needle in the ground as far away as possible. You may try again another time — although it's not recommended that you do.
If the needle points to "YES" or otherwise gives a positive answer: You may proceed.
The Conversation:
Ask a question. Make sure you begin by addressing "Chertik, Chertik" by name.
If it remains stationary: Ask a different question.
If it swings: Make note of where it stops; the letters, numbers, or words the needle's eye points to will indicate your answer. It might spell out words or messages; it might give you certain numbers; it might indicate "YES" or "NO." If playing with two or more participants, a second participant may record the answers on a separate piece of paper.
When you are finished asking questions (see: Additional Notes), proceed to The Banishment.
The Banishment:
If playing with two or more participants, set down the needle and thread in the center of the circle and join hands. If playing alone, skip this step and proceed to the next step.
Speak aloud — once more in unison, if playing with two or more participants — the words, "Chertik, Chertik, be gone!"
Snip the thread with the sewing scissors and remove it from the needle. Hold it to the candle's flame until it has burned away completely.
Turn on the lights.
Open the curtains.
As soon as you are able, destroy and dispose of the paper. Then take the needle as far away as you can and bury it in the ground.
You may find, in the days and weeks following your game, that you have developed a certain… sensitivity to religious iconography. This is to be expected. There is also nothing to be done about it.
What did you think would happen if you invited the devil to play?
You may play this game at any time or on any date. However, before beginning, all participants should remove any metal jewelry from their person. Also do not wear, carry, or otherwise allow to be present any items depicting religious iconography. Leave these items outside the room in which you have decided to play.
The length of thread need not be precisely 10 inches. This measurement is an estimate only.
If playing with two or more participants, you may choose to designate one participant as First Principal. The First Principal may take the lead in conducting The Preparations, issuing The Invitation, and beginning The Banishment, including but not limited to: Drawing the board; preparing, positioning, and holding the needle and thread; leading the incantations in The Invitation; asking, "Chertik, Chertik, are you here?" in The Invitation; and leading the incantations and destroying and disposing of all necessary items in The Banishment.
One participant should remain in charge of the needle and thread throughout the entire Conversation; there is no need to switch off participants. Any participant may ask a question, regardless of which participant is holding the thread.
Do not ask any questions without first addressing "Chertik, Chertik."
You may ask questions for as long as you like; however, if the answers become nonsensical or cease entirely, or if you correspondent otherwise indicates that they are no longer willing to entertain you, proceed to The Banishment as soon as possible.
Concerning Your Correspondent's Answers:
Do not take them at face value.
Your correspondent may deceive you. They may trick you. They may lie to you. They may tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear.
They'll almost certainly attempt to manipulate you into doing their bidding.
They may sprinkle their answers with seeds of truth — seeds which are quite valuable, indeed — but it will be up to you to separate the truths from the lies.
If you fail to do so… well, they'll have you right where they want to, then.
Did you really think they would let you ask them for information without taking something from you in return?

What do you mean by sensitivity? Does that mean whenever you see a picture of Jesus Christ or Mary or whoever you will feel pain, or does it mean you will feel irritated? To shorten, will the sensitivity be physical or mental? Pain or annoyance? and will you ever be able to walk into a church again?
For me, you'll sensitive to ghost? Just like when you open your third eye?
But, your theory might be true, since we're playing with the devil. Devils hate those things.
Kitten-chan says
I love your creepy content. You give me something to look forward to every week. Keep up the good work@
Thanks! So glad you're enjoying the site!
Can you play this with other people in the room? In the building? If there were people in the room or building who didn't want to play but also didn't want to leave, could you still play without there being adverse effects on the other people?
With any of these games and rituals, it's recommended that other living beings (family, pets etc.) who are not taking part vacate the premises before starting the ritual. Whilst there isn't anything in the instructions demanding this, getting unwilling people involved isn't recommended, and could be quite disastrous depending on the ritual.
Yaboi says
Hey would this still work if there is someone else in the room but they weren't participating, just watching?
There's nothing to suggest it wouldn't work, however with games like this it's much better not to push your luck. Who knows what might happen to them…
1. Can you illustrate the board making with a diagram?
2. Can we carry any kind of tools to hold the needle over the flame?
3. What do you mean by religeous sensitivity? Will we become more religious, or less religious?
4. About the picture of the devil : It's like a bull, right?
5. Should we not carry items decepting any religion?
Every time I get ready to play any game, I ACCIDENTALLY read last paragraph and my self confidence melts….
By "destroy and dispose of the paper", can you burn the paper then scatter the ashes in the ocean or is there something more ideal to dispose of the objects? Also, I really love hearing about the stories!! (Most dangerous games is my favorite!)
Chinchy says
I tried this today and it was shocking, I started asking it what I should do about myself then shortly after about it. I can confirm that this creature said it is from Hell, it does not believe in God (can't blame him), and when I asked if it was strong it simply said no. As soon as I entered the room in which I left two crosses as result of the instructions (they were gifted to me by my grandmother), I had a headache. Next I burnt the piece of paper inside the candle which was held in a glass cylinder. The fire was moderate (about the size of a tennis ball), however when I went to pour water on it in the shower the flame shot out of control and after the the flame was extinguished a foam came out of it and it also cracked the glass cylinder into 3 big pieces. I left this challenge with two cuts on my hand and a burn on my forearm. Very ominous and I recommend to maybe do another challenge as even when I took safety measures in this one, I had minor injuries.
My tip:
Use a regular ouija board. In this game you are talking to a devil. That's it. But if you use an ouija board you have even a little CHANCE to talk with a good spirit. Also I would be interested to know if you could call an angel if you drew an angel on the paper and said like "Gabriel Gabriel [question]" or something. Do you think that could work?
Ps: I love this site, these are my good night fairytales XD
SilentSong says
Quick sort-of question;
I'm guessing if you have a tattoo of a cross or other religious iconography you should probably give this ritual (and any other ritual that requires you to leave such objects outside the playroom) a miss?
I mean, if you have a tattoo of such an image and you were to become sensitive to such things it would probably drive you crazy, right?

Low unsure of Lehmann plans
metrowebukmetroMonday 30 Jun 2008 8:00 am
Joachin Low
Germany coach Joachim Low insists there have been no discussions with goalkeeper Jens Lehmann about retiring from international football following defeat in the Euro 2008 final on Sunday night.
Lehmann, who will play for Stuttgart next season after five years at Arsenal, was beaten by Fernando Torres at the Ernst Happel Stadium as Spain were crowned European champions in Vienna following a 1-0 win.
"I didn't speak to him about that," Low said. "I said 'congratulations, you played very well, the best in this tournament'. He is also a leader in our team and very professional. I told him 'thank you' for what he did."
Michael Ballack, who had recovered from a calf injury to play, ended on the losing side in a final again but Low insisted his skipper deserved a winner's medal for his efforts during the tournament.
It adds to Ballack's tag of being a 'nearly man', after being suspended for the World Cup final in 2002 just after Bayer Leverkusen missed a trio of chances for silverware.
This season Manchester United pipped him to the Barclays Premier League and Champions League – and he finds himself the bridesmaid once more.
"I was glad when he and the physios indicated on the afternoon of the game that he could play," Low said. "It was important to have him on the pitch and good to have him there.
"He is very important for our team always and he did a lot of special things in this tournament.
"He was our leader and he represented the team and Germany superbly."
When asked if he deserved a medal, Low replied: "Yes, he does."

Two-Component Signal Transduction Systems of Xanthomonas spp.: A Lesson from Genomics
Wei Qian,1,2 Zhong-Ji Han,1 and Chaozu He1
1State Key Laboratory of Plant Genomics, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Beijing 100101, P. R. China; 2National Center for Plant Gene Research, Beijing 100101. P. R. China
Accepted 26 October 2007.
The two-component signal transduction systems (TCSTSs), consisting of a histidine kinase sensor (HK) and a response regulator (RR), are the dominant molecular mechanisms by which prokaryotes sense and respond to environmental stimuli. Genomes of Xanthomonas generally contain a large repertoire of TCSTS genes (approximately 92 to 121 for each genome), which encode diverse structural groups of HKs and RRs. Among them, although a core set of 70 TCSTS genes (about two-thirds in total) which accumulates point mutations with a slow rate are shared by these genomes, the other genes, especially hybrid HKs, experienced extensive genetic recombination, including genomic rearrangement, gene duplication, addition or deletion, and fusion or fission. The recombinations potentially promote the efficiency and complexity of TCSTSs in regulating gene expression. In addition, our analysis suggests that a co-evolutionary model, rather than a selfish operon model, is the major mechanism for the maintenance and microevolution of TCSTS genes in the genomes of Xanthomonas. Genomic annotation, secondary protein structure prediction, and comparative genomic analyses of TCSTS genes reviewed here provide insights into our understanding of signal networks in these important phytopathogenic bacteria.

Buffalo-based online food service company hopes to lift local restaurants, not bog them down with fees
"appétit" was launched in Western New York two weeks ago by two Buffalo natives who say their approach to service is different than the national chains.
: Rob Hackford (WGRZ)
Published: 11:35 PM EST December 2, 2020
Updated: 7:31 AM EST December 3, 2020
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Online food ordering has seen a huge increase during the COVID-19 pandemic and has appeared to be a lifeline for local restaurants.
But your favorite delivery app, whether Grubhub, Uber Eats, or DoorDash isn't always the saving grace it appears to be.
Take it from someone directly involved in a local brewery/restaurant.
"We explored Grubhub at the beginning of this whole thing, and then when we looked at the fees that they charge. I mean it's insane, you don't really make any money off of it," Greg Baker of Belt Line Brewery & Kitchen said.
"It's not the consumer's fault, these national companies just don't want people to know," added "appétit" partner Bob Heil.
Heil is one half of a new online food ordering and delivery company built in Buffalo for Buffalo. It's called "appétit," and launched two weeks ago with the help of Steven Ambrose.
"You know with those apps the more business they do the harder they get hurt," Ambrose said.
Regardless of restaurant revenue or what someone is ordering, national ordering apps often take 20 to 30% of every purchase as commission or fees, which can add up to thousands of dollars every month. Nationally this price structure has been well-documented during the pandemic.
"We decided to take a different view on deliveries and we wanted something more user-friendly to the restaurant," said Heil, who added:
"We just sort of rearranged the dollars and did it in such a way where it is still competitive for the end-user, and it's still very competitive and profitable for the restaurants themselves."
Credit: azewy.com
Their new service involves a $99 once a month fee for "appétit" vendors and a one-time $99 setup fee for the web interface. Heil and Ambrose, however, have waived that setup charge for the month of December.
The flat fee provides a guarantee to Western New York restaurant, bar, and brewery owners that no matter how much they make on takeout, their revenue won't be impacted.
For places such as Belt Line Brewery, selling that restaurant experience through "appétit" can also include beer.
"I'm glad that we're one of the first ones in," Greg Baker said. "I'm sure that list is going to grow ... but for us to be able to have a little bit more ease in keeping our doors open with a little bit more exposure is great."
Belt Line Brewery is still in the process of designing their "appétit" page, along with 90 other local businesses. Right now the web app is only servicing restaurants in select areas, with plans to expand in the future.
"Our short-term goal is not to make money. It's we want to be here in 10 years and have all these local restaurants leaving the other guys," Ambrose said
Although unplanned, Ambrose adds with more shutdowns looming he and Heil are also happy to provide a lifeline to owners during a tough time.

Home > History Of Claddagh Rings
Claddagh is an Irish fishing village located just outside the old city walls of Galway, now part of Galway City. The Irish Claddagh ring is a traditional Irish ring given as a representation of love, loyalty, and friendship. The design and customs associated with it originated in the 17th century in Claddagh.
It belongs to a group of European finger rings called "fede rings". The name "fede" derives from the Italian phrase mani in fede ("hands joined in faith" or "hands joined in loyalty". Fede rings are cast in the form of two clasped hands, symbolizing faith and trust, while the Irish Claddagh ring features two hands clasping a heart, topped by a crown. The heart represents love, the hands friendship, and, the crown loyalty.
Some people think there is a definition for the word 'Claddagh', but there really isn't, it's just a city in Ireland. Because of the unique design of a Claddagh ring there is, however, great meaning and symbolism behind the Claddagh ring. read on!
The Claddagh Story – Folklore & Myth or Reality?
The Irish Claddagh ring has so much folklore and myth attached to it that it is difficult to know where legend ends and truth begins. The one with perhaps the most credence is generally accorded to the belief that the design originated with an early eighteenth century Galway goldsmith by the name of Richard Joyce, who is said to have invented the Irish Claddagh design as we know it.
Legend has it that Joyce was captured and enslaved by Algerian Corsairs around 1675 while on a passage to the West Indies. He was subsequently sold into slavery to a Moorish goldsmith who taught him the craft. King William III sent an ambassador to Algeria to demand the release of all British subjects who were enslaved there, which included Richard Joyce. After fourteen years in captivity, Joyce was released and returned to Galway and brought along with him the ring he had fashioned while in captivity, what is now known as the Claddagh Ring. He gave the ring to his sweetheart, married, and became a goldsmith. His initials are in one of the earliest surviving Claddagh rings.
Claddagh Symbols and Design
The Claddagh Ring has a very specific design and accompanying symbols: Two hands holding a heart with a crown. Another design with two hands clasping each other, but without the crown, is also often referred to as a Claddagh ring, although technically, that design is really more of a fede ring than a traditional Claddagh ring. We offer both designs.
Claddagh Meaning – Love, Friendship and Loyalty
The Irish Claddagh meaning is also very specific: The heart is a symbol of love, the hands friendship, and, the crown loyalty.
Irish Claddagh Rings are often used most often as friendship rings, but are also commonly used as engagement and wedding rings. Mothers also sometimes give these rings to their daughters when they come of age. In many countries, including the United States, Canada, and of course, Ireland, the Claddagh is often handed down from mother to eldest daughter or from grandmother to granddaughter. Claddagh rings were traditionally passed through generations as wedding rings and heirlooms. It's considered bad luck to buy one for yourself; it must be given as a gift. And it might surprise you, but men's claddagh rings are nearly as popular as Claddagh rings for the ladies.
How to Wear an Irish Claddagh Ring
Traditionally, as mentioned above, there is meaning and symbolism with Claddagh rings, which is also true for how you wear a Claddagh ring. Wearing the ring on your right hand with the heart facing away from you shows that you are looking for love, while wearing it with the heart facing toward you indicates that you are in a relationship. Wearing a Claddagh ring on your left hand with the heart facing away from you shows that you are engaged, while wearing it with the heart facing toward you indicates that you are married.
Towards the end of the 20th century there was an explosion of interest in both puzzle rings and Claddagh rings. It is no surprise then, that a ring that is BOTH a Claddagh ring and a puzzle ring would be especially appealing. A ring that combines both the meaning of the Irish Claddagh and the fun of a puzzle ring adds another level of fascination and uniqueness that our customer have found irresistible. Why settle for a basic Claddagh ring when you could have a Claddagh puzzle ring? Check out our super-popular 3CL Ladies' Claddagh Ring, which is also a 3-band puzzle ring.

As nearly the first six weeks of the semester came to a close on the weekend of fall break, many students signed out of their dorm rooms and headed for home for a well-earned rest. But for those who stayed on campus, another option was made available. It was called the L.I.F.E. Retreat.
At 1:30 p.m. on Friday, a bus left Southwestern for Camp Arrowhead near Glen Rose for a three-day weekend, which included the camp, The Promise, and a trip to the Texas State Fair on Sunday.
Southwestern students enjoy time along the river at Camp Arrowhead during the L.I.F.E. Retreat.
Upon arrival, Southwestern students got settled in their cabin and then were able to explore the camp, participate in volleyball, basketball, wade in the river, and swim in the pool. After several hours vigorous play and fun, at around six the students piled into the bus to head to the Promise, a well-known musical passion play in the area, to open Sabbath.
Once the group returned to camp, several of the students gathered together and sang worship songs with guitar and cajón accompaniment, and were eventually joined by the rest of the students. "From my window of observation, and as a faculty member, it was good to see the students taking charge," said Knight.
Sabbath activities were laid back, beginning with Sabbath school music and Bible games, followed by a sermon by a guest speaker. The rest of the afternoon students had the option to relax or go out and enjoy the camp.
Knight commented on the attitude of the group, saying he was pleased by the amount of spiritual discussion outside the formal worship setting of church throughout the weekend. Emily Laughlin, nursing major and freshman at Southwestern, went on the retreat with a few friends.
"Sabbath was a really neat experience for me because I was able to sing and praise God with people that I hadn't known very well before. You could tell God's spirit was there in the room." Sabbath ended with more songs and games after sundown.
Alex Cortes did not have to go far to find his purpose in life.

Lady Raiders announce home-heavy non-conference schedule
Aug 8, 2018 at 8:47 PM Aug 8, 2018 at 8:48 PM
The Texas Tech women's basketball team will play nine non-conference home games sandwiched around single games at Florida and Nevada, according to the non-conference schedule released Wednesday.
The game Dec. 2 at Florida is the first meeting between the two programs and part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. The other road game is Nov. 15 at Nevada.
New coach Marlene Stollings makes her Tech debut when the Lady Raiders open the season with a Nov. 9 home game against Jacksonville State. That's followed by home games Nov. 11 against Louisiana-Monroe and Nov. 17 against Idaho.
Also coming to United Supermarkets Arena for non-conference are Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Houston Baptist, Stephen F. Austin, Southern, Texas Southern and Abilene Christian University.
"We are thrilled about starting a new era of Lady Raider basketball this fall," Stollings said in Tech's announcement. "The nine home games will give our fans many great opportunities to see our up-tempo, fun and exciting style of play. Additionally, playing on the road in the SEC at Florida and in the MWC at Nevada will challenge our team and help prepare us for conference play."
Five of the nine opponents made postseason tournaments last season, though none in the NCAA Tournament. Idaho, SFA, Southern and Texas Southern all played in the WNIT and Nevada reached the semifinals of the Women's Basketball Invitational.
LCU soccer
Four former Frenship players are among 15 newcomers the Lubbock Christian University men's soccer team announced.
Goalkeeper Braxton Thorne and midfielders Magnus McSween, Nathaniel Schubert and Trey Robillard all are part of the class Chaparrals coach Paul Gilbert recruited. They helped the Tigers reach the Region I-6A semifinal round of the playoffs.
Thorne was a two-time district most valuable player and McSween was two-time all-district.
LCU signed seven other players from Texas and one each from England, Germany, Spain and Australia.
The Chaps open the season Aug. 16 at University of the Southwest in Hobbs, New Mexico.


In late 2010, archaeologists excavating a Celtic cemetery near the Iron Age settlement of Heuneburg unearthed an intact grave. The rest of the cemetery had been extensively looted, so when the team found a gold brooch inside a wooden burial chamber, they realized they had a very special find on their hand. The timbers were preserved in soil waterlogged by a small river that flowed nearby, which may also be the reason the grave was never pillaged. Its water-filled interior and boggy soil made it difficult for would-be thieves to access and loot. With a cemetery full of graves on drier land, looters picked the path of least resistance.
On December 28, 2010, the whole grave, encased in a 25-by-20 foot soil block weighing 80 tons, was raised and transported to the laboratory of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Stuttgart. Archaeologists could now excavate the burial chamber in protected conditions, preserving the prehistoric timbers and any other organic remains, no matter how minute, and take all the time they needed for a thorough excavation. They discovered the contents of the tomb were extremely rich: more than 40 pieces of gold jewelry, more than 100 pieces of amber, plus jet, bronze and boar tusk jewelry and accessories, and an ornamental piece of armour for the head of a horse. This kind of armor was not produced in the Heuneburg area at this time. Part of it is consistent with work produced in northern Italy; some elements appear to be of southern Italian origin. It's a testament to the variety and extent of the interregional trade in luxury goods during the Early Iron Age.
The style of the jewelry suggested a 7th century B.C. date for the grave. The preserved wooden timbers gave a more precise date: they were cut from a fir tree in 583 B.C. This was a prosperous time at Heuneburg. The Heuneburg hill fort dates to the Hallstatt period or Early Iron Age. The remains of wood and earthwork defensive fortifications from around 700 B.C. have been found, as have houses, burial mounds and expensive imported artifacts. A mud brick citadel wall on a massive limestone foundation 20 feet high was built around 600 B.C., a unique feature for Celtic settlements of this period. From 620 to 470 B.C., an estimated 10,000 people lived in Heuneburg which makes it by far the largest known prehistoric settlement north of the Alps as well as one of the oldest. More recent excavations at the foot of the hill have discovered a secondary housing site with homes grouped in walled compounds, an Iron Age suburban gated community, if you will. This is evidence in favor of classifying Heuneburg as not just a settlement, but an urban center. If so, it would make the hill fort the oldest urban site north of the Alps.
The remains of one other adult woman were found in the burial chamber. She had no jewelry, so researchers suspect she was a servant. At the moment it is not possible to determine whether and how the three individuals in the grave were related to each other.
The research into the Heuneburg grave and its contents is slated to continue until 2018. The latest findings will be published in the journal Antiquity.

I always wonder about these "Celtic" finds. (i) Do we have any reason to suppose that those people spoke a Cletic language? (ii) This is presumably a quite different question: what is our evidence that they are one of the peoples called Keltoi by the Greeks?
I am most interested in seeing the chamfron for the horse. Any idea where there may be photos available?
This is a fascinating find in many ways. Much to be learned from it still. Thank you for continuing to follow this story. Much appreciated!
Dearieme, far from being an expert myself, there were almost certainly several 'Celtic' languages, which does not mean that they did not have linguistic features in common. Moreover, there is -apart from old boy Herodotus- actually quite a lot of Greek evidence.
Indeed, as far as I could tell, there is hardly any written 'Keltic' evidence, but some is using Greek letters – the 'oi' bit is of course a Greek plural, i.e. the 'Keltic' plural(s) are almost certainly different. Themselves, however, they would have referred to as individual peoples, as e.g. Ceasar is indicating in his ' De Bello Gallico': There are, for instance, 'Native Americans', 'Sioux' and individual Sioux people(s), and 'Indians'.
The 'Keltoi' live 'where the Ister or the Danube has its source', so the Heuneburg seems to be a candidate for being the 'Pyrene' that e.g. Herodotus is referring to, but not the only one, as there is e.g. the oppidum at Manching and others. Also, there were connections to each other and they had some form of basic 'roads' or 'paths'. There are also 'Proto-Celts' with an even older tradition and features in common.
The 'bronze pendants mounted on boar tusks' in the 4th photo look like bells that are intended to strike the horizontal plates when the piece is shaken.
"The 'Keltoi' live 'where the Ister or the Danube has its source'": Oppenheimer claims that the Greeks believed that the Danube rose in SW France.
I don't know where Oppenheim lies, but take for granted that 'France' was not even invented back then, not even by the Greeks.
In fact, it is a Roman invention, but they referred to them as 'Transalpine Gauls', in order to differ them from the 'Cisalpine' Italian ones.
Also, take for granted that the Greek goods brought to the banks of rivers in what is now France and the ones in what is now Germany found their way.

Kelsea Ballerini's "Miss Me More" is a comeback song. The singer focuses on that glorious moment that comes when you realize you're better off without him.
The song is a hold-nothing-back, lean-into-the-details, pop-country celebration delivered with hard-earned scorn. If Ballerini was writing from personal experience (by all indications, she was), it shows during this emphatic, curb-kicking awakening. The 23-year-old star pulls from a wide variety of influences for "Miss Me More," drawing on contemporary country and pop, but also incorporating some slick rap phrasing into her rhythmic vocal delivery.
"I'm obsessed with the patterns and the rhythms of rap," Ballerini told Vulture in 2017. "I love that you can have hooks that you have to sing at the top of your lungs for it to really matter, like 'Miss Me More.'"
On her first album Ballerini traded with large emotions, but songs from Unapologetically are more nuanced. It's not the sweeping moments of bliss or the devastating heartbreak but the finer, more unique experiences that come after that she's focused on throughout a project that's largely inspired by the end of one relationship and the start of another. Consider "Miss Me More" the place where it all pivots — the exact moment night turns to day, or whichever metaphor you prefer.
TL;DR: "Miss Me More" is a dang jam.
Did You Know?: In January, Kelsea Ballerini will be found playing "Miss Me More" on Kelly Clarkson's Meaning of Life Tour.
I retired my red lipstick 'cause you said you didn't like it / I didn't wear my high heel shoes / 'Cause I couldn't be taller than you / I didn't wanna lose my friends, but now it's hard to even find them / It's what you wanted, ain't it / It's what you wanted.
I thought I'd miss you (when it ended) / I thought it hurt me (but it didn't) / I thought I'd miss you / I thought I'd miss you.
I put on my old records that I hid in the back of the closet / And I turn them up to ten / And then I played them all again / I found my independence / Can't believe I ever lost it / What you wanted, ain't it / It's what you wanted.
I thought I'd miss you / I thought it hurt me / And I'd wanna kiss you / I thought I'd miss you / But I miss me more / I miss my own beat, to my own snare drum (I miss me more) / Miss my own sheets in the bed I made up / I forgot I had dreams, I forgot I had wings / Forgot who I was before I ever kissed you / And I thought I'd miss you / But I miss me more.
