Q: Apple/Xcode Git version update My employer uses a security scanning software to make sure we keep on top of what systems need software patches or security updates.
We've encountered an issue where the baked-in Apple version of Git is flagged as being out of date and vulnerable to a certain type of attack. This version appears to dwell in Xcode's Library and other support files. Installing Git separately either from the repository or through shell commands installs the correct up-to-date version in a separate location, meaning the vulnerable version is still flagged on reports.
Can I expect Apple to update Xcode/their version of Git from an Xcode update? A macOS update? Or will we be telling our software to override any of these flags for the foreseeable future.

Share All sharing options for: Senior Players Championship Comes To Avenel Farm In Potomac
The Senior Players Championship is one of the biggest tournaments on the Champions Tour calendar, and this year it is being held at Avenel Farm in Potomac. Play started today, and will continue into the weekend. You can find tee times for the event here.
The field features a number of really good players and famous personalities. The name that immediately jumps off the page is Corey Pavin, if for nothing else than his coaching the unsuccessful Ryder Cup team less than a week ago.
Other notables:
Fred Funk, who graduated from University of Maryland and worked as a golf coach there for six years while trying to break onto the PGA Tour.
If you were watching the Ryder Cup, then you saw the replay of the putt Bernhard Langer missed that cost the Europeans the '81 Trophy. Now, he spends his time owning the Champions Tour, and is one of the favorites this week.
Tom Watson has contended in a couple majors over the last year or so. Gotta think that success will translate to a tournament at this level.
Freddy "Boom Boom" Couples. Enough said on that one.

The Ruling House of Khazaria Descended from King David!
The Book:"The KHAZARS. Tribe 13"
This Site New Book: "The Khazars.
The Khazars were a powerful people who once ruled over portions of Russia and Eastern Europe. They (or at least many of their leaders), converted to Judaism and were eventually defeated and disappeared. Their descendants were either assimilated amongst the Jews or became Sabbath-keeping and other "divergent" Christians, many (if not most), of whom, migrated to the west and to North America. Other descendants of the Khazars may be scattered throughout the former area of the U.S.S.R. and in different parts of Europe. A knowledge of the Khazars is useful for several reasons. Evidence exists that the Khazars were descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel. There is also proof that they were related to peoples in Western Europe. It follows that evidence connecting the ancestors of some West European groups to Israel is strengthened when cognizance is taken of the Israelite ancestry of their Khazar brothers.
Another reason for studying the Khazars is that anti-Semites, and some Assimilationist Jews, claim that the present-day "Ashkenazi" (European) Jewish people came from the Khazars, who they assume were non-Israelite. Anti-Semites use this notion of the Khazars to allege that the Jews are impostors and not true descendants of Israel. Some "Identity" groups also make this allegation. So do the Arabs and other anti-Semites. In the past some Assimilationist Jews used the Khazar idea to claim that since their ancestors were not in Judah at a certain time therefore they were not culpable for whatever the Jews may or may not have done to the Christian Messiah. The background for some of these ideas also concerns the Karaites of Russia.
Map taken from Koestler, "The Thirteenth Tribe"
The Khazars ruled over many peoples some of whom were also influenced by Hebraising tendencies. In Judaism at that time there were two main streams. There were Rabbinical Jews who parallel the Orthodox Jews of today and who believed in the Bible and in its interpretation according to Oral Tradition. The Oral tradition is justified by the Bible (Deuteronomy ch.17) that commands us (on pain of death) to obey the Sages when in doubt. The Orthodox in their decision were homogeneous (and still are), and consistent in their basic beliefs and practices. They usually managed to reach a consensus regarding the practical application of Biblical injunctions. Another group were the Karaites who claimed to believe only in Scripture. The Karaites, however, were actually eclectic and widely divergent amongst themselves in their interpretation of Scripture. The Karaite movement in the modern sense may have begun in the region of present-day Iraq but its roots can be traced back to the Samaritans and to the Sadducees and to other sects of former times. Amongst the numerous groups subject to the Khazars were Tartars and Turkish elements and some of these accepted the Karaite form of religion. [IT SHOULD HOWEVER BE REMEMBERED THAT THE JEWISH KHAZARS WERE THEMSELVES ADHERENTS OF THE RABBINICAL FORM.] The Karaites of Russia freely intermarried with the Tartars and spoke a Tartar dialect. Groups of Karaites were found in Lithuania, Southern Russia, the Crimea, and at one stage even in Germany. Under the Czars the Jews were persecuted and the Karaites naturally wished to be exempt from anti-Jewish discrimination. They, therefore, claimed to be descended from the Lost Ten Tribes or from the Khazars. At all events as not related to the Judaeans and as such could not be held responsible for the crucifixion.
In the Crimea of Southern Russia certain tombstones, etc., were fabricated by a wealthy Karaite scholar named Abraham Firkovitch (1786-1874). These tombstones bear the names of people stating that they are descended from Tribes of Israel exiled by Assyria. Firkovitch claimed that this was evidence that the Karaites in the Crimea had been there before the Jew and were not related to them. Several leading authorities were misled by this evidence and there were those who perhaps wanted to be misled in order to help the Karaites out of their predicament. By agreeing that the Karaites were descended from the Lost Ten Tribes, or from the Khazars, they were helping the Karaites claim that they were not related to the Jews and therefore should not be persecuted as Jews. It worked. The Karaites were exempted by Russian authorities from restrictive measures taken against Jews. [Some sections of the Lost Ten Tribes really had once been in the Crimea and in other areas of southern and eastern Russia. Not all the evidence produced by Firkovitch was necessarily false. The case is still under consideration.] Karaite figures, both under the Russians and under Hitler, strove to prove that they were not racially of Jewish, or Israelite, origin. Some of them were actively anti-Semitic. TO BE CONSIDERED AN ISRAELITE OF WHATEVER TYPE CAN BE DANGEROUS!! In some accounts of the Khazars it is assumed that the Karaites descend from them. This assumption is mistaken and misleading.
Regarding conversion or simply the genuine acceptance of membership in the Israelite community, Scripture has already spoken, "Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt" (Exodus 22:20).
"One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD (Numbers 15:15).
"And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn amongst you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel (Ezekiel 47:22).
Map taken from Davidiy, "The Khazars. Tribe 13"
Traditional Jewish and Armenian sources as well as a linguistic study (Baschmakoff, Paris 1937), based on place-names indicated that the Khazars could be connected to Adiabene and its area in the region of Northern Mesopotamia, i.e. to an area to which part of the Lost Ten Tribes had been exiled in 730-720 BCE.
Arab chroniclers record the Khazars as having been east of the Caspian Sea in the time of Alexander the Great (Dunlop). They also were said to have invaded Armenia in ca.197-217 CE and to have been subjected by the Armenians (Moses of Chorene). The Khazars assisted the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate in 363 CE and managed to conquer Armenia with their ships dominating the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea was formerly known as "The Khazar Sea". The Khazars were also known as "Gazari" and as "Akatzyri" and "Agathyrsoi". In the past under the name Agathyrsoi they had been variously reported of in Thrace (south-east Europe), in the Pontus (north-east Turkey), in Poland, and towards the far north-eastern edge of the Baltic Sea shore. Servius on Virgil and Scottish sources said that the Picts of Scotland were descended from a portion of the Agathyrsoi who crossed the sea and conquered North Scotland. One branch of the Khazars were known as Sabirs. A group of "Sabarium" together with "Carnutum" had served in Gaul as Roman mercenaries. These have been ascribed both Anglo-Saxon and Central Asian origins (Altheim, GDH vol.1, p.209 ff, vol.4 p.108 ff). They used the runic "Ing" letter as their emblem. This sign is usually associated with the Angles and is of Scandinavian origin.
In the period 350-450 CE, the Huns from the area of Mongolia advanced westward conquering other peoples and forcing them to join their forces or flee before them. The Huns swept into Europe. The Anglo-Saxon and related invasions of Britain in the 450s are connected with the Huns aggression. Attila the Hun in ca. 434 CE made the Akartziri (Khazars) his tributaries and appointed his first-born son, Ellac, as king over them. The Akatziri (Khazars), fought as Hun auxiliaries alongside the Black Huns and Alans in Gaul. Upon Attila's death they returned to the Caucasus area.
Central Asian and Scythian history can be confusing since there were many different groups, each of which often had several names. The names of one group were sometimes interchanged with that of another due to conquest or assimilation or one group taking over the former territory or status of the other.
Another portion of the Khazars were the White Ugrians whom the Chinese described as tall, white-skinned, and green-eyed (McGovern p.472). The White Ugrians had been in that part of Scythia once ascribed to the "Hugie" who were in effect the Franks who later settled in France. The White Ugrians ruled over a mixed Turkish and Mongolian group known as the "Black" Ugrians. Another people once confederated with the Khazars were the White Huns who were also known as "Nephtali" and descended from the Naphtali Tribe of Israel. With the break-up of the Hun Empire remnants of the Huns in the east were absorbed by the "Turkish(?)" Juan-juan who became known as the Avars. The name "Avar" or "Abar" had originally been one of the names of the Naphtalite Huns but somehow it became applicable to the Juan-juan who ruled over them.
As stated, a people in East Scythia known as the Juan-juan had once dominated the Khazars, White Ugrians, and Naphtalite Huns who revolted. In the course of this revolt most of the Naphtalites moved westward eventually reaching Scandinavia and settling in Norway. In the meanwhile the Khazars and White Ugrians defeated the Juan-juan ("Avars") killing most of them. The remaining Avars were accepted as leaders by the Black Ugrians who previously had been "White Ugrian" vassals. The Black Ugrians henceforth took the name "Avar" upon themselves and migrated to Central Europe, where during the period 550-769 CE, they dominated Hungary, parts of Austria, and parts of Germany. Their kingdom was destroyed by the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne.
Prior to 582 CE the Bulgars in eastern Scythia had been subject to a branch of the Khazars. They moved to the Volga-Ural region and also to the area of modern Bulgaria. In both places the Khazars were suzerain over them at some stage or other.
The Russian-Jewish scholar, Abraham Harcavy (Vilna, 1867), believed that the Khazars had converted to Judaism in about 620 CE. Other authorities put this event more than a hundred years later. The conversion at first was more or less a secret and was confined to the king and his co-ruling associate prince and to the inner aristocracy. Later most of the Khazars-proper appear to have converted along with some of the Alans and some of the other subject peoples, most of whom however remained pagan, Christian, or Moslem. The conversion was also done in stages (Polak). At first they accepted a kind of monotheism with Hebraic-type ceremonies. Later they accepted full-fledged Rabbinical Orthodoxy. The first Khazar king to accept Judaism was named Bulan whose name means "unicorn" or "elk" (Altheim, GDH vol.1 p.239). The unicorn was an emblem known from the Sakae region east of the Caspian Sea. The conversion of the Khazars to Judaism was preceded by a Disputation amongst members of different religions. The Jewish poet and philosopher Yehuda HaLevi (1074-1141, Spain) wrote a Classical work in defence of Judaism using this Disputation as a framework. The book is called "The Kuzari".
In 862 the Khazars conquered Kiev on the Dneiper River. They may even have been the original founders of Kiev. The Khazars also ruled over the Magyar people who at that time appeared in southern Russia. In about 869 a group of Khazars called "Chabars" rebelled against the main body and led their Magyar subjects westward to Hungary where they settled. The Khazars pursued them and subdued them in their new land. The Magyars of Hungary dominated Hungary up to 955 CE. Austrian tradition related that Austria was once ruled by a line of Jewish kings followed by a line of pagan ones, then came Christianity. The time given for these kings (707 bce -227 ce), actually coincides roughly with the period of Celtic dominance in the area and is discussed in the book "Origin" by Yair Davidiy (2002). The names however of these mythical Jewish kings are non-Hebraic. The first of them is described by the Chronicle as a local convert to Judaism. It has therefore been suggested (by Koestler) that Khazar control over the Magyars was responsible for this legend or at least for certain details of it. We would suggest that the bare structure of the legend has an historical basis and is connected with the Celts while some of the subsidiary details (such as the names, etc) were influenced by direct, or indirect, Khazar influence in the area. The two historical sources may have conflated into one.
A Polish legend says that the Khazars conquered Poland and were led by an "Abraham Pey". Another legend says that Poland was once ruled by a Jewish king called Abraham Pierkovnik (Polak p.187). The two figures, named Abraham "Pey" or "Pierkovnok" are apparently one and the same. A portion of the Agathyrsi (Khazars) were once in Poland and the said legends may be connected with them.
Around the 700s Viking "Varangians" began to penetrate the interior of Russia. The Varangians were mainly Swedish, though the term (in Russian Chronicles) could also be used to encompass anybody from Scandinavia, as well as Englishmen (E.B. 1955, "Russia", Vernadsky). Varangians were confederated with the Khazars and may have been the Khazar entity referred to as the Varach'an (Warathan) Huns. The Varangians were variously referred to as "Varegos", "Barragos", and "Variag" (Polak p.187, Koestler p.147, Minorsky p.432). Their name may be derived from the Hebrew "Beriah" [pronounceable as "Veri-a-g"], which name was given to a son of Asher (Genesis 46;17), a son of Ephraim (1-Chronicles 7;23), and a son of Benjamin(1-Chronicles 8;16).
In ca.800 CE a group of Varangians appeared at the Byzantium court. They called their king "Chakan". These varangians had orignally come from Sweden and apparently were subjects of the King of Khazaria (ARNE, T. J., Davidiy, "The Khazars. Tribe 13"). The title "Chakan", or "Cagan", was originally the Hebrew "COHEN" and means "priest" or "officiate". [In the Ukraine today the western "h" is still pronounced like a "g"]. More information concerning the Khazars comes from a letter sent some time between 954-961 to Ibn Hasdai who was the Jewish physician and foreign minister to the muslim king of Cordoba in Spain. The letter is from a King Joseph of Khazaria. There are two versions of this letter but both contain important information from early sources. From the letter(s) we learn that: King Joseph was the 13th king of Khazaria; Previously, in the time of the 11th monarch, King Benjamin, all the surrounding kings had been at war against the Khazars except for the King of the Cossacks and the King of the Alans.
By "King of the Cossacks", the Don Cossacks are intended. The Don Cossacks were a mixed people amongst whom in historical times were a few isolated families who practiced Judaic customs and some of whom converted to Judaism. These individuals had the notion that they were descended from Dan, son of Israel, after whom the Don River was named (Casdoi). This only applies to a few isolated families amongst the Don Cossacks who on the whole have always been anti-Semitic. The Alans were a people who had lived to the north of the Caspian Sea then moved to the Caucasus area and north of it. Previously in the time of Attila, and before then (i.e. in the 400s CE), a section of the Alans had gone westward. They settled in areas of Gaul, especially in Brittany, and may have inluenced Norman military tactics (Bachrach). There were also groups of Alans amongst the Allemans in Alsace and in Suebia. In addition, the name "Alan" is found in Scotland both as a personal name and as the name of a Tribe in the north. In "The Tribes" the Alans are traced to Elon son of Zebulon.
The letter continues to relate that the Alan monarch marched against the enemies of the Khazars and routed them. The King of the Alans had rendered assistance since "some of them observed the Torah of the Jews". King Joseph of Khazaria himself was married to a daughter of the Alan ruler. Bar Hebraeus reported that the Khazars came from the east and settled in "the country of the Alans now called Barsalia" meaning an area on the northern shores of the Black Sea.
The Khazars proper were a small group who obtained a loose uncertain control over many other nations. The Khazar power was probably always in frequent fluctuation. The Varangians established themselves in and around Kiev where they ruled over the natives. The local inhabitants said that Kiev had been founded by Ku and two of his brothers. These were foreigners (kinsmen of the Khazars), and ruled over the Polanians. The Polonian natives of Kiev told the Varangians that originally "there were three brothers...they built this town and perished. We are sitting [here] and pay tribute to their kinsmen the Khazars....." This is interesting since originally Kiev had been known as Sambat as reported by the Emperor of Byzantium, Constantine Porphyrogenitus, who lived at the time and had contact with the Khazars. The term "Sambat" means "Sabbath" and in Rabbinical Tradition via the form "Sambation" is linked to the Lost Ten Tribes. The people of Asgard (from whom descended many of the Scandinavians) had lived in this area. The Varangians at first acknowledged Khazar suzerainty and as mentioned it seems that the Khazar "Huns of Warathan" were Varangian. The Varangians were either also known as the Rus or the Rus were another group whom the Varangians absorbed and who became identified with them. In ca. 912-913 the Varangian Rus with Khazar connivance attacked Muslim and Christian settlements on the shores of the Black sea. When the Varangians were returning from their raids they were attacked by a band of 150,000 non-Khazar muslim and Christian subjects of the Khazar king. The attackers were acting against the will of the Khazar ruler who tried to stop them and sent a message to warn the Varangians against them. The Varangians lost 30,000 men in this encounter which meant the loss of 2/3 of their forces. This incident is symptomatic of the Khazars weakening position. Their kingdom had begun to disintegrate and they were overly dependent on Christian and Muslim mercenaries. Their subjects were asserting themselves. The Khazars were perhaps too liberally-disposed for that age and region. In the meantime amongst the Varangians of Kiev Christianity had been spreading. The Varangians were intermarrying with the Slavs and Slavonic elements were entering Varangian ranks as equals.
Abraham Polak was a foremost scholar of Khazar history. He wrote an authoritative work ("Khazaria", in Hebrew, Tel Aviv, 1951) about them and considered them in part an offshoot of the Goths. This is supported by archaeological findings. The Khazar center of Itil on the Volga via the Goths who had preceded them inherited the Orenburg Culture which was derived from Assyrian and Iranian sources (ROSTOVTZEFF, M. 1922). According to Polak the Scandinavian element amongst the Varangians was basically pro-Khazar, whereas the Slavonic one was not. The more Christian and Slavonicised the Varangians became the more distance they kept from Khazar alliance. Saksin (Itil) one of the Khazar capitals was attacked by the Varangian-Rus in 962-963 and again by the Turks in 965. After these attacks the steppes became dominated by Turks and Mongolians. Khazaria was never the same after the Rus and Turkish attacks but some degree of partial recovery may have been achieved. Rubruques in the 1200s mentioned a "Civitas Saxorum" (i.e. City of the Saxons), and is presumed to be referring to the Khazar capital of Saksin (Itil). A German record says that in 1410 the Prince of Lithuania attacked lands by the Caspian Sea, "In the place where, as it is known, live the Red Jews". The expression "Red Jews" is a term employed by medieval Jews and applied to the Lost Tribes of Israel with whom the Khazars appear to have been identified.
Three different types of Khazar are described by Arab writers who, through trade and diplomacy, had had direct contact with them. The Arab Geographer Istakhri (Koestler p.20) said: "The Khazars do not resemble the Turks. They are black-haired and of two kinds, one called the Kara [i.e. "Black"] - Khazars who are swarthy verging on deep black as if they were a kind of Hindu, and a white kind [Ak-Khazars], who are strikingly handsome". Note the above description says that both kinds of Khazars had black hair though regarding countenance, etc. one was white and the other very dark.
Al Maghribi said: "As to the Khazars, they are to the north of the inhabited earth towards the 7th clime, having over their heads the constellation of the plough. Their land is cold and wet, their eyes blue, their hair flowing and predominantly reddish, their bodies large and their natures cold. Their general aspect is wild". Al-Maghribi is here apparently speaking of another section of the Khazars who lived more to the north. These had "predominantly reddish" hair and blue eyes. It was remarked above that the Khazar White Ugrians were described by the Chinese as red-haired, pale-skinned,and green-eyed. The Tartars of the Crimea nicknamed someone with red-hair "Cusa" meaning Khazar (Polak).
The Alans who were closely associated with the Khazars were described by the Roman historian Ammianus Marcelinus as being blonde-haired like all the Scythians according to him. Ammianus includes the Agathysoi (Khazars) amongst the Alans. Other sources describe the Khazars as overwhelmingly of European type. From the above it follows that different Khazar and Khazar-linked groups were of different types.
A letter from a Khazar subject (known in academic circles as the "Schechter Text" relates a tradition that they were descended from the Tribe of Simeon. Eldad HaDani (ca.850 CE), wrote that they came from Simeon and Menasseh. Other Jewish sources (e.g. Chronicle of Yerachmeel) mention the Tribes of Ephraim and Judah or of Nephtali and Dan though usually it is Simeon and Menasseh. The Cochin Scroll also says that the Khazars were descended from Simeon and Menasseh. At the peak of their history the Khazars controlled the area of the Don and Danaper Rivers and these rivers were referred to in Khazar times as "Sambation" and as "River of Sabt (i.e. "Shabat"), and in Jewish legend both terms are connected with the Lost Ten Tribes. Archaeological evidence has found Greek inscriptions bearing the name Sambation from the Don River region and dating from the pre-Christian era (Yair Davidiy, The Khazars. Tribe 13). The Khazars had emerged from areas to which the Lost Ten Tribes were exiled or had moved to after their exile. The Khazars were related to other groups for whom independent proofs show an Israelite origin and so what is pertinent to them is pertinent also to the Khazars and vice-versa. The Khazars were linked especially with the Tribes of Simeon and Menasseh. They were identical with the Agathyrsi-proper who derived from the Clan of "Jeezer" son of Gilead son of Menasseh (Numbers 26:30). The name transliterated as "Jeezerites" ("Ha-iy-ez-ri" in Hebrew), was probably pronounceable in Ancient Israel as "Ay-(g)a-zar", and the Agathyrsi were also known as "Acatzari", Khazari, and Gazari. This name was influenced by local pronounciation of the term "Caesar", the Khazars being considered the people of the Kagan who under Byzantine influence was referred to as Caesar just as the Ruler of the Russians was later called "Czar" (Polak). Those of the Agathyrsi (Acatzari), who remained in Scythia, eventually formed the nucleus of the Khazar nation.
The Picts of Scotland also came from the Agathyrsi. Amongst the pre-Christian Picts and Scottish existed a taboo on pig meat and on other unclean animals prohibited by the Mosaic code (MacKenzie, see our article: "The Food Taboos of Old Scotland"). Later in Christian times the tradition existed that "Jews", or a "Type of Jew", had settled in Scotland. Similarly the Khazars, before their conversion, had had some kind of notion that they were of Israelite descent and had had some exposure to Mosaic lore. The "Jeezer" (i.e. "Ay-g-azar" of Gilead) origin of the Picts is consistent with the neighboring Caledonians, (with whom the Picts united), being also descended from Gilead and the very name Caledonian is derived from Gilead. Elements (such as those of Gilead) connected with Menasseh dominated Scotland and the west of Britain. From these areas later came an overwhelming proportion of the early British settlers of North America in its beginnings.
Another name for the Khazars was "Kwalisse", or rather in Old Russian the terms "Khazar", "White Ugrian", "Kwalisse" were synonymous, though these names actually refer to separate parts of the Khazar confederacy. "Kwalisse" is derived from Persian and means "Man of Kwala". "Kwala" is another name for the land of Chorasmia which was east of the Caspian. "Kwala", or Choresmia, in Hebrew writings (such as those of Eldad HaDani) is referred to as "Havila". In the History of Holland by Jean Francoise Le Petit (1601), "Havila" was possessed by the three brothers Saxo, Frisso, and Bruno who represented the Saxon, Frissian, and Anglian peoples. [These same three brothers in other Frisian legends are said to have come from the Land of Israel and are to be identified with former inhabitants of the Northern Kingdom, see "The Tribes" by Yair Davidiy]. "Havila", says Le Petit, was in the "East Indies" near the Eumodian Mountains of which the three brothers were made guardians. According to Ptolemy the "Eumodian Mountains" were the Altai Mountain Range or near it. It follows from the above that "Havila" in effect equalled "Kwala" or Chorasmia. Within the region of Chorasmia-Havila Ptolemy recalled the presence of various Scythian peoples who, in "The Tribes", are traced to Israelite entities. Examples include the Aspassi (Menasseh of Joseph), the Massaei (Menasseh), Machetegi (Maacha in Menasseh), Suobeni (Jospeh), Samnites (Simeon), Zaratae (Zarathites of Simeon), Namastae (Namuel of Simeon), and so on. It will be noticed that the mentioned groups are predominantly from Menasseh, or from Joseph (father of Menasseh), or from Simeon and the Khazars are recorded as belonging to the Tribes of Simeon and Menasseh. Most of the peoples listed by Ptolemy had migrated westward at the time of the Hun invasions of Europe or before then. Nevertheless, remnants evidently stayed behind and these became part of the peoples comprising the Khazar nations. From this region emerged the Parthians, many of whom converted to Judaism and who may be linked with the Khazars. In their own time the Arsacid rulers of Parthia were accredited Israelite origins. An Arab source (Yakut) (Ben-Zvi p.247), says: "Isaac son of Abraham was the father of Khazar, and Bazar, and Bursul, and Horesm [i.e. Chorasmia-Havila] and Peel", - all of which peoples appear to have been members of the Khazar confederation.
The Persians considered the Khazars a Scythian people. Herodotus (4;2) said that the Agathyrsoi (Khazars) were brothers to the Royal Scythians and Gelones. The Royal Scythians (Scuthae Basiloi) gave their name to Scandinavia which was known as "Basilia" and "Scatanavia" (Pliny N.H. 37;11). A portion of the Khazars were known as "Basilians" and their land, (by the Danaper River Mouth west of the Crimea in a former Royal Scyth region), as "Bartsula". "Basil" in Ancient Mesopotamia was a term applied to the area of Bashan east of the Jordan River and to the north. All this region was once part of the territory of the Israelite Tribes of Menasseh, Reuben, and Gad (cf. Deuteronomy 4:43).
New archaeological findings indicate strongly that Scandinavia was once ruled by the Huns with whom the Khazars were associated. In addition recent findings show the former presence of a colony of Khazars that once existed in Birka in Central Sweden. These Khazars may have been connected to the early Angles and Saxons. Birka in Sweden was also linked with Hedeby. The Baltic port of Hedeby on the north German coast had been a center of the Angles before they moved to Britain. Hedeby was the place were Sheaf Saxnot, the mythical ancestor of the Anglo-Saxons, first arrived at. Sheaf had come from an unknown land in a boat without oars. He taught his people agriculture and the arts of civilization. Geofrey of Monmouth noted the presence of Picts in Scandinavia and he may have been referring to the Khazars who were also known as Agathyrsi and ancestors to part of the Picts. Danish tradition reported of warfare between the Ancient Danes and the Agathyrsi-Khazars. A Swedish scholar has claimed Khazar intermarriages with the Swedish aristocracy in Sweden.
The Khazars were once considered ("Jewish Encyclopedia") to have spoken a Finish language as did many Steppe peoples of different origins. There used to exist an opinion that most of the Fins did not enter Finland (from Scythia) until the 700s and 800s CE. Nowadays this notion appears to have been dismissed though there probably is something to it. There may be a connection between the Khazars and the Finish people. The Fins of Finland in the 17th and 18th centuries believed themselves to be descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. The Fins call themselves Suomi ("Shuomi") which is said to mean "People of the Marshes" or something similar. Nevertheless the name is not dissimilar to that of Simeon ("Shimeon") in Hebrew, and the Khazars were traditionally descended from Menasseh and Simeon. Existing names are frequently re-interpreted and adapted to fit changing circumstances. The Fins are probably descended from the Iyrcae (or "Turcae") former neighbours of the Nephtalite Huns. The Iyrcae (White Ugrians) were identified as Khazars in the Russian Chronicle (1100s CE). In our work, "The Tribes" the Finns are traced to the Tribes of Gad, Issachar, and Simeon.
The Arabs reported that the Khazars were ruled by the House of "Ansa" or "Ayshia". This was before their conversion to Judaism. The Parthians and earlier monarchs of Scythia were also ruled by the same lineage.
These names are Arabic variations of the Hebrew "Yishai", as pointed out by Dr. Abraham Polak (1951, p.178).
Yishai in Hebrew is Jesse.
"Yishai" (i.e. Jesse) was the father of David (Ruth 4:17) and the expression "Son of Jesse" is a common synonym for David and/or the Lineage of David (e.g. 1-Kings 12:16 2-Chronicles 10:16, 2-Samuel 20:1).
[2-Kings 14:28] NOW THE REST OF THE ACTS OF JEROBOAM, AND ALL THAT HE DID, AND HIS MIGHT, HOW HE WARRED, AND HOW HE RECOVERED DAMASCUS, AND HAMATH, WHICH BELONGED TO JUDAH, FOR ISRAEL, ARE THEY NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE CHRONICLES OF THE KINGS OF ISRAEL?
Hamath was the name of a region as well as a city and here refers to "Yadi".
"Yadi" may well have been ruled over by a minor branch of the Davidic Family.
"Yadi" adjoined and was linked with "Smal" of the Dananu from the Tribe of Dan. The Tribe of Dan had ruled over this area as well as the Isle of Cyprus which the Assyrians called "Ydnna" or "Island of Dan".
In 1994, excavations of Dan of the Galilee led to the finding of an Aramaic inscription was found mentioning a "House of David" in connection with Dan. The inscription is in Aramaean (Syrian) and seems to indicate that this House of David had ruled over Dan shortly before it was attacked.
We have seen that the "Sambation" was in Khazar territory. The Arabs linked the Khazars with Isaac; and on the whole identified them as "Jews". Their Russian neighbors also referred to the Khazars as "Jews" and their ruler as "King of the Jews". In Gentile terminology all Israelites may be referred to as "Jews". Names of groups in the Khazar area bore Israelite Tribal and clan names; Jewish and Khazar traditions link them with Israel. European references to the Kingdom of the Khazars referred to them as Red (i.e. red-haired) Jews and identified them with the Lost Ten Tribes. The Khazars had familial links with peoples who moved to Western Europe and whom other proofs show to have been of Israelite descent. Also indicative of Hebrew ancestry is the fact that they converted to Judaism despite the hostility expressed to this religion by other peoples in the region. Their conversion was an outcome of already existing traditions of Israelite ancestry and former adherence to the Mosaic Faith.
The Khazars were mainly the descendants of Jews and of Israelites from the Lost Ten Tribes. We have evidence for this belief. There were numerous Rabbanical Jews who fled to the Land of the Khazars and settled there. The Land of the Khazars relatively speaking was close to and connected by trade and culture to the former region of Babylonia which had remained a center of Jewish population ever since the time of Nebuchadnezzar. With the Muslim conquest of Mesopotamia, persecutions of the Jews in Byzantium, and general change of circumstances much of Babylonian Jewry moved into the Khazar region.
It has been claimed that many European Jews are descended from Khazars - this may be, but it has not been proven. If it were so it would strengthen our position rather than weaken it. HOWEVER there is NO evidence. NOT that there is evidence that can be dismissed BUT there is none APART, (perhaps) from the names of a few villages in Poland, and the fanciful imaginations of a few dilettantes. The Khazars emerged into history at a time when Turkic culture was dominant in their area and at one stage were ruled over by Turkic groups. Jews had many contacts with the Khazars and with Turkic peoples and many Jews had dwelt in both the Khazar Kingdom and in the Turkish Empire. If we were to find traces of the Khazars or Turkic-influences in Jewish culture etc it would not necessarily prove anything since such things can be absorbed by historical contact.
BUT EVEN THIS WE DO NOT FIND!
There are no definite names, no real family traditions that are certain, no customs, no words, not anything at all that can provide us with a firm connection between the European Jews and the Khazars whom some people claim they are descended from.
A few nineteenth-century Assimilated Hungarian Jews claimed to be descended from Khazars (considered then to be a Magyar Hungarian-type people) because that would make them next-of-kin to their Gentile Hungarian neighbors but they had no proof or not even any real evidence. Being related to the Magyars in the eyes of Hungarian nationalists at the time may have added to national or personal status!
TSo-called "Identity" People who dedicate energy and time to "proving" (in their minds) that the Jews are Khazars etc are actually enemies of Identity truth. They are knowing or unknowing agents of anti-semitic interests that are also against the "Anglo-Saxon" existence. They are enemies of America and of all that is good. The epithets they are apply to others mostly suit themselves.
Much Additional EVIDENCE strengthens the case that the Khazars were of Israelite descent in so far as the proofs in question show that the Khazars really did consider themselves on the whole to be of Israelite origin and so were regarded by most Jewish authorities who were familiar with them as well as the testimony of their neighbors. The evidence in question consists of Hebraic sources and much historical evidence some of which has not previously been available in English. There are also new findings now available in the religious, archaeological, mythological, and linguistic fields. This is presented in a new book by Yair Davidiy, "The Khazars. Tribe 13".
"The Khazars. Tribe 13" discusses the information provided above in more detail together with much much more. This work consists of 416 pages of valuable and highly interesting information.
The Khazars came from four different regions, and were known as Hebrews and as Israelites. The ancestral heroes of the Scandinavian and of the Anglo-Saxons were Khazars. Khazar settlements existed in Scandinavia and in Scotland.
The Khazars were a great but unappreciated people.

Dubois Part Two – Superyachts. Read Part One here.
As time wore on a one off racing yacht is something of a peculiarity unless they are at the rarefied size of 70 to 100 feet long. One cannot really make a living out of designing racing yachts any more but luckily the superyacht industry came along and having been immersed in yacht racing design from the mid-seventies through to the mid-nineties, the change into superyacht design gave Dubois Naval Architects a second success chapter, perhaps even greater than the first.
It was abundantly clear that Ed Dubois felt that he would not have been able to design such beautiful, almost iconic superyachts had he not had the racing yacht experience and success that he had in the first part of his career.
The sailing superyacht is a phenomenon that came about because of the ability for these boats to not only have motor yacht luxury but to also sail well and all with less crew than used to be the case. Powered winches, furling sails etc have allowed small crews to operate very large quite fast yachts and therefore one can indeed have a 'beach house' that sails really well.
Dubois Naval Architects certainly had a good share of the market. Ed Dubois thought this is for the following reason:- "When I was designing racing yachts, my main competitors were designers such as German Frers, Philippe Briand, Brue Farr, Ron Holland and Doug Peterson. We all moved into designing larger and larger yachts but I think one thing set us apart from the others. This was the realization that while the hull design, rig design, keel etc was all vital to the performance of the yacht, what mattered beyond this was how one lives on the yacht – the lifestyle, the access to the water, the flow of one space to another and especially sight lines and the look of the yacht."
(And it has to be said that it was certainly true that a Dubois yacht had a certain 'look' about it.)
"I don't think that Ron Holland or German Frers minded much about this – they were just interested in the sailing performance of the yacht. But I realised, because my clients were telling me, that the space planning and lifestyle onboard the boat was vital. Whether the yacht went 14 knots or 14.2 knots was of course important but it was only a part of the requirement. We also never gave up the responsibility of designing the superstructure to an interior designer. This has happened in a number of occasions with other designers but it's a mistake because the signature of a designer, on large yachts, surrounds the superstructure, not necessarily the hull shape."
(Dubois therefore nurtured a particular style – quite modern and always allowing a protected view from a raised saloon, that 'Dubois look' or trademark I mentioned above.) That is not to say that this is the only style of boat we will design – the flush deck Silvertip is an exception and we've also designed some classic yachts – we enjoy this as well but it is for our larger, modern yachts that we are known i.e. the latest Kokomo, Bliss etc. People love being on these boats – people other than just sailors. To be continued. – SS

This year has been a bad year for the auto industry. General Motors has recalled thousands of vehicles for serious safety defects. Now the auto manufacturer Nissan has announced that it will recall 220,000 Nissan Altimas from the 2013 model year. The recall is related to issues with the hood latch mechanism, which can corrode and allow the hood to fly up while the car is in motion.
The problem, Nissan says, is with the secondary hood latch, which can get stuck open when the hood is closed. If the primary hood latch somehow released, drivers can be placed in a dangerous position.
GoldenbergLaw's Minnesota personal injury lawyers have helped clients hurt by defective products of all sorts. Fortunately, there have been no reported injuries from the hood latch defect so far.
If you own a 2013 Altima, you should bring it to your local Nissan dealer for an inspection. The dealers will replace the latch or remove any debris and corrosion free of charge.
And our personal injury lawyers stand ready to help any innocent victims of defective products. We believe the people of Minnesota deserve safe, effective consumer products.
If you live in any Minnesota community and you want to speak to our personal injury lawyers, please contact GoldenbergLaw today for a free consultation.

Holdfast can help you and your loved ones approach succession planning in a constructive manner that ensures they avoid problems and are well cared for in the event of your death. The process involves two main considerations: life insurance and preparing a will.
Life insurance can ease the financial burden and provide security for your loved ones in the event of your death. A lump-sum payment can be used for the mortgage, college costs or to supplement lost income, helping your family during a difficult period. Financial security and stability can make it easier to cope with the loss of a loved one.
Contact me today to discuss succession planning in more detail.
From choosing the right time to buy a house to deciding whether it is even a good idea, I can help guide you through this important decision. By assessing all the costs involved–from taxes to renovations–I will work with you to determine whether taking out a mortgage makes sense for your budget.
If you are considering taking out a mortgage, contact me today to discuss how to do so in a way that best fits your situation.
If you are considering moving to self-employment, contact me to discuss how to revise your financial plan. Working together, I will help you adjust from a situation where a previous employer might have provided benefits, such as health or life insurance or a company pension. Life and disability insurance can be difficult to purchase at first, since many insurers want two years of tax results. As well, self-employed people can gain tax write-offs for some health insurance premiums.
Tax planning is another important component of a strong business strategy. Depending on your business, consideration may include paying wages or collecting payroll taxes. As well, you can take advantage of capital cost allowances on equipment such as computers or vehicles, and business expenses such as advertising, salaries, or travel.

For many big companies, establishing brand recognition is extremely valuable. However, this doesn't only apply to large companies like Coca-Cola and Starbucks. Branding for local businesses is different from big brands. For small and local businesses, local business branding should focus on their location, quality work, personalized service, and trustworthiness. Branding locally raises a business's profile, boosts their online presence, and good online reputation. Take a look at this article to see how your local business can appear in search results and have a recognizable brand.
A troublesome problem that many business owners face is their website suffering in ranking. When your strategies aren't performing, then it might be time to review your campaign's strategy. To increase your website's traffic, doing an audit on your site can help you to better understand the success and mistakes of your campaigns. By determining where your efforts are being spent best, you can emphasize your resources in creating better content, getting involved in the community, and building your local SEO.
Social media is an important outlet for companies looking to increase brand awareness and online growth, generate leads, and engage with customers. However, your social media strategy for Facebook is different from Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Each platform has their own advantages and disadvantages. When sharing the perfect post on these platforms, it's important to consider the post length, time, and type of post that will resonate most with your audience.

Better Nine Than None
By Jerry Tarde Photos by Christian Northeast
Our new campaign is designed to help you play more golf.
I popped my head into a 100 Greatest
clubhouse to ask the caddiemaster a question. I hadn't actually put my foot on the carpeting, but my head, covered in a hat, was indoors. Ed Slevin, a friend and member of the establishment, barked: "Get your hat off! What--do you live in a barn?!" (Slevin is also a member at Merion, and his son makes an appearance in David Owen's story about the U.S. Open club; the Slevins might be overclubbed, but they're never overruled.
Taking your hat off when indoors is one of the immutable laws of civility. I should know better. My mother also taught me never to eat with my hat on. Even when munching on a hot dog on the 10th tee on a sunny day, I take my hat off for Mom. This is what separates us from the apes or at least uncouth golfers.
In my only encounter with Bobby Locke, the four-time British Open champion, he told me he had promised his father on his deathbed never to play golf without wearing a necktie, and Locke said he'd never broken that promise.
A lot of people, including the next generation, are often repelled by all the rules that golf and clubs (and parents) impose. This push-pull is the reality we face if the game is to thrive in the future. If you have mixed feelings, join the club, but change we must.
Golf Digest conducted a survey this year that shows evolving mores:
• Sneakers (92.3 percent) and flip-flops and sandals (62.7 percent) are now welcomed in most clubhouses.
• Golfers may change shoes in parking lots at 91.5 percent of courses.
• Even denim (51.1 percent), cargo shorts (68.3 percent) and collarless shirts (58.3 percent) are allowed at a majority of courses, and half draw the line at requiring shirttails to be tucked in (49.9 percent).
• Although surely not in the dining room, 85.5 percent allow hats to be worn indoors.
Business papers and cellphones are traditionally banned at private clubs, but we have to view things differently in these multi-tasking times, so Contributing Editor Bob Carney offers sensible rules for modern-day electronics and dress in "The New Code".
The biggest cultural challenge to golf today is fitting it in our hectic lives. What other recreation requires a five-to-six-hour chunk of the day? As President Clinton once said in our pages (November 2000), "I like it for the same reason a lot of other busy people don't—I like it because it takes so much time."
Every other recreation, it seems, takes more or less two hours: movies, dinner, cocktail parties, tennis, bowling, going to the gym. If golf were invented today, it would be a nine-hole game. By no means are we questioning 18 holes, but our culture today dictates shorter blocks of free time. I'd rather squeeze in nine holes than none.
"Niners" are wrongly viewed as beginners, "slow" or a less-than-whole golfer at some courses. It's not "half-golf" in our book, and we're joined by the PGA of America and the United States Golf Association in celebrating nine holes as a legitimate alternative.
Got time for nine? Let's play more golf this year.


"At the Global Game Jam, friends and community members come together to make their own games in a span of 48 hours. After that jam, these games need to be played!

Papua New Guinea (PNG) on Sunday issued an ultimatum to more than 400 asylum seekers barricaded in Australia's shuttered refugee detention center on Manus Island.
The men were given until Monday to leave the facility or they would be forcibly evicted, according to a statement by Papua New Guinea Immigration Minister Petrus Thomas seen by Reuters news agency and The Guardian newspaper.
"We will be taking steps with relevant authorities to move the residents based on serious exposure to health risk for the food of everyone that is remaining," Reuters cited from the statement.
can be completed for the PNG defense force to take complete control of their land and property," The Guardian quoted him as saying.
But New Zealand public broadcaster Radio NZ quoted Thomas on Sunday as backing down from the threats of forcible removal.
"As I maintain, there will be no forced movement, but they have to voluntarily move. There are already 120 that have moved already [and] there are other positive indications from other refugees that they will be moving as well," he told the broadcaster.
Refugees later shared images of police vans descending on the site, and claimed they had filled in wells and punctured make-shift water tanks.
Authorities shut down the facility in October, cut power and water to the site, stopped providing food and asked the detainees to move out after a Papuan court ruled the center unconstitutional. Hundreds of people refused to shift to reportedly unfinished transition accommodation out of fears for their safety among the broader Papuan community.
Kurdish-Iranian detainee and journalist Behrouz Boochani told AFP news agency Sunday the remaining men were "struggling with starvation" and rationing the little food they were allowed to bring in to the camp.
"We are still refusing to leave this prison camp for another prison camp," he posted on Twitter later.
The eviction process has bought the international spotlight onto Australia's immigration policies, with the United Nations warning of a "looming humanitarian crisis" on the island.
Australia banishes any irregular boat arrivals to bleak offshore camps in the remote Pacific to stand as a deterrent example to would-be maritime asylum seekers. The camps are largely impenetrable to Australia's media, but conditions in the camps are uncomfortable at best for detainees, many of whom fled war-torn countries.
Australia has been struggling to fulfill a deal with the US to take in some of the men in exchange for Australia accepting refugees from Central America. So far just 54 have been accepted by Washington, of a hopeful 1,250. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull rebuffed a proposal from New Zealand to take in 150 of the men, citing concerns they would then be free to move on to Australia under loose immigration controls between the countries.
New Zealand issued a rare rebuke of Australia's immigration policies on Sunday when Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern tried to meet with Turnbull on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in Vietnam to discuss the situation.
"No matter what label you put on it, there is absolute need and there is harm being done," Arden told reporters. Arden repeated New Zealand's offer to take in the 150 men.

Time to Act - Empathy Is Not Enough
This article was first published by BRINK on June 30, 2020
Real change requires real actions — the data shows us that empathy is not enough.
Moved by the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks and Armaud Arbery, many companies are loudly reaffirming — Black Lives Matter. Email inboxes and corporate blogs have been flooded with heartfelt messages from companies expressing outrage at the inequity, fear, brutality and hate that permeates the lives of Black people in America and elsewhere. At the same time, CEOs are reaffirming their commitments to creating workplaces built around the ideals of diversity and inclusion. A commitment to normalizing and driving equality and racial justice is now a corporate imperative, offering a clear opportunity to be introspective and listen to the challenges of Black employees in the U.S. workforce and beyond.
It is a positive sign. But will it drive lasting change?
Addressing the Say/Do Gap
Some believe that we are seeing a watershed moment in U.S. history. According to a Monmouth University poll released in June, 76% of Americans now say racism and discrimination are "a big problem" in the U.S. — a 26% increase since 2015 — mainly due to the shifting understanding of white people.
But longtime observers will tell you we have seen such hopeful moments before. That in fact, the history of civil rights and equality in America has been a long and frustrating cycle of promises to do better, followed by very little real or sustained action for change.
This is particularly true in business, where there has long been a significant and discouraging "say/do" gap between the values companies express publicly and the impact of those values on real behavior and equality.
According to Mercer's recently published Let's Get Real About Equality report, 81% of organizations say they are focused on improving diversity and inclusion, yet less than half (42%) of U.S. organizations surveyed have publicly documented commitments to racial or ethnic equality. Furthermore, only 23% of them review performance ratings by race or ethnicity to ensure against any adverse impact, and only 38% review engagement survey responses by race or ethnicity to understand any differences in experience.
With this disconnect, organizations cannot measure or understand how an employee's experience and ability to succeed in the organization may differ based on race and ethnicity and whether diversity and inclusion initiatives are having an impact.
According to the Mercer-Sirota global normative database, representing over eight million employees globally, Black employees are 14 percentage points less likely than white employees to agree that their company has created an environment where people of diverse backgrounds can succeed. They are also 10 percentage points less likely to say they work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination and 7 percentage points less likely to say they can report unethical behavior without fear of retaliation.
Taking Actions for Greater Impact
This isn't to say that any organization sets out to be deceptive or insincere. However, it does suggest that the levers companies are currently pulling are not necessarily the ones that can make a sustained impact. Organizations can avoid common practices that tend to fall short by taking these critical steps:
Placing accountability for D&I outcomes on senior leaders instead of HR: Diversity and inclusion is a business imperative and should be taken as seriously as every other key P&L initiative with associated budgets, metrics and accountability. D&I speaks to the heart of your culture and employee experience and must be treated as foundational to the company's mission.
Focusing first on inclusion and then diversity: If you are not making your company a place where employees of color feel comfortable, accepted and able to thrive — your diverse hires will leave.
It should not be controversial or political to speak out against racism.
Using unconscious bias training as one tool of many to shape an inclusive culture: One-time bias training will not lead to long-term behavioral change unless it is backed by policy and accountability.
Partnering with employee or business resource groups (ERGs/BRGs) for guidance and feedback, but not to lead D&I strategy: Your Black employees may already feel overwhelmed by racism and injustice. Be inclusive of ERGs and BRGs and learn from their voices and feedback, but do not expect these groups to do the heavy lifting on inclusion.
Measuring and monitoring outcomes: Companies must take a data-driven look at their strategies. They must ask themselves if they are driving culture change or just covering a few bases — and, as a result, not seeing improvements in equality of opportunity, experience and pay for their Black employees.
What Are the Practices That Drive Real Change?
Strategically working to develop an inclusive and equitable workforce for Black employees means hardwiring your organization:
Listening: How do you start this conversation? It begins by asking difficult, potentially uncomfortable questions of ourselves and doing more listening — both to the data and to the experiences of Black employees. The leaders of companies that have long prospered under the status quo must show humility and humanity and be open to learning a better way.
Representation: People of color are underrepresented at all career-levels in the U.S. workforce, and the disparity is even more stark at leadership levels. While Black adults represent approximately 13% of the U.S. population, they represent only 2% of U.S. executives, according to Mercer's 2020 When Women Thrive data. Practices, policies and programs must be hardwired to ensure equality of opportunity, experience and pay to help drive workforce representation.
Transparency and Trust: Companies must communicate their goals internally and then hold themselves accountable for acting on them by sharing results with all employees. Just as companies regularly share their financial/business objectives and subsequently report progress on those objectives, they should also be sharing their D&I goals and communicating their progress broadly with employees.
Corporate Citizenship: Companies that want to make a difference in advancing racial equity have an opportunity to wield external influence with customers, supply chains, legislators and communities.
Authenticity: Speak with boldness and honesty. It should not be controversial or political to speak out against racism. Mention victims by name and acknowledge the patterns of racist violence and oppression — including police violence and lack of accountability.
Change can be daunting — but if there was ever a year to act decisively, it is 2020. We have achieved nearly impossible things this year by fast-tracking programs and policies to battle the threat of COVID-19. We must also seize this opportunity to address the enduring threats of racism and inequality through deliberate actions in the workplace.
Companies have the power to make this time different. We must use it.

Perspective COVID-19 is accelerating the value of human capital
Companies that responded to the recent unprecedented bull market by strengthening their balance sheets, investing in innovation and, notably, taking care of their employees are proving to be much more resilient in the ongoing crisis.
Perspective How to make Gender Diversity a Business Imperative for Shareholders
Investors can wield great influence over firms through investment selection, formal voting and informal dialogue with management. This power can also be used to advance diversity in financial services, as well as in investee companies more broadly. In some cases, this is already starting to happen.

Featuring graphics that look like they come straight from the old Pokemon games, Adventure Land is more like an idle RPG simulator than an idle RPG because the game gives you the tools to create the code needed for idly grinding away at mobs just so you can level up, explore higher-level areas of the world and earn gold to upgrade your weapons. The game even allows you to set up a merchant account where you can sell the loot you get from your main character.
To start playing, you just need to go through a very easy sign-up process. Once done, you'll then need to create your character. You get to choose one of 6 classes, namely warrior, mage, priest, rogue, ranger and merchant, choose a gender and create a username. You can actually play more than one character per account so you can always return and pick another character if you want.
Now, as mentioned in the summary, the Merchant class in this game is very unique. It functions more like a "shop" character that you can leave alone (24/7 if you like) to sell off the loot you've collected from your other characters. Best yet, the merchant levels up solely through trade (making sales) and basically makes up the player economy aspect of the game. Of course, there are still NPC vendors that you can stuff from, but if you want uncommon or rare items, merchants are the people you'll want to approach.
However, to set up a stall with a merchant, you'll need to have at least 40k gold to buy the stall. This is not a small amount of gold and I'm guessing this is a way for the game to prevent bots from farming gold and ruining the economy.
There is also a tutorial that you MUST (I can't emphasize this enough) read before going in. If you don't, you'll find yourself at complete loss as to what you need to do since the game doesn't have quests.
In terms of combat, Adventure Land makes it really simple. You just need to do a right click and your character will start attacking an enemy. You'll use right click to interact with the many NPCs around the world as well. However, take note not to engage too many enemies at the same time – you will lose experience if you die and the game does penalize you so you can't instantly respawn after death either.
If you do venture to try this game out, you may quickly realize something – "What's the purpose of this game?" Well, basically, you'll be farming your way to have enough gold and crafting materials to get better weapon upgrades and can craft better items, in addition to getting more experience points just so you can level up. In other words, the game's entire purpose is for you to level up and progress from killing level 1 blobs to level 10 birds and so on.
Due to this repetitive nature of its gameplay, Adventure Land also has another trick up its sleeve – it intends to use this game as a form of teaching tool to help you learn a bit about coding (or coding macros as WoW players would call it). There's already a template in place that you can use for your character to start auto-battle every enemy nearby within a specified level range and strength, as well as loot every item that drops from them. However, you may want to eventually tweak the code and customize it so you can handle tougher creatures in the later areas of the game world.
This is a critical aspect of the game mainly because farming the mobs manually may seem like an option at first, but after an hour or two, you may realize that it's just not worth the effort. Might as well get a "bot" to do it for you… hence, the auto-battle and auto-looting codes. After AFK leveling for a while, you may want to head to town to check out new items or equip some of the loot you get to improve your character's combat power.
Adventure Land is a freemium game and it does sell premium currency called Shells. These shells can get you access to nice little cosmetics, like a cute pet, possibly other pre-written macros, or better weapons and armor from the vendors. The game doesn't really have PvP after all, so honestly, I think players in the game won't mind the monetization.
Playing in Adventure Land means that you'll be sharing a world with other players. I\m not really sure you can communicate with them or not, but you most definitely can interact with them or at least with their merchants. The game doesn't have a lot of players though.
I particularly enjoy the graphics in this game. The art style is very nostalgic at least to me since it reminds me of the epic 90s games like Pokemon. By default, the music and the sound of the game are turned off for some reason. However, you can choose to turn it back on if you like. It may not be much but it sounds all right.
To sum everything up, Adventure Land is the sort of idle RPG that lets you code your own auto-battle macros, or at least modify the existing code. In addition to its brilliant graphics and nostalgic atmosphere, the game is designed to be played idly as it is grind-heavy. The game, however, can be quite difficult to figure out if you skipped the tutorial.
So, does this sound like a game you'd like to play, or at least try? If so, you can head on over to the Adventure Land website and check it out.

Though this toilet may look a little queer There really is nothing to worry or fear.
Each button does serve a most wonderful purpose And this is how it works for us.
When the task you do is number one, potty, or pee Push the white and black button is our plea.
But when the duty is poop, poo or a number two The black button is the one for you.
Now this may sound crazy and even insane But it really is very easy to explain.
If liquid is all that needs to be removed Using only half a tank of water is very shrewd.
But for a solid job it is a must To wash it down with a full flush.
And in a small but significant way You have saved some water for another day.


I am an experienced .net developer. I want to know which resource below is better for beginner. I don't mind buying book if it is better.
This book targets v 2, but not sure if the content is outdated, or as complete.
Based on my understanding, the MS ASP.NET SIgnalR is better for these beginners.
And here is the video courses of learning signalR, please take it as reference.
The second link seems good.
In my opinion, it shows a simple and quick demo of building a realtime application using SignalR. Which is very helpful for the beginners to get basic understanding of what the siganlr can do for you.
It depends on you to choose which documents to learn. It's just my personal suggestion.


I immediately thought of scam and went through the process of calling the SSA and the fraud hotline but given the hour-long wait-time and the maze of "press X to do Y" I gave up. Doing a quick Google search confirmed that it, in fact, was a scam and I had nothing to worry about.
What's shocking is how easy it is to spoof a phone number. Especially that of a government agency. It's extremely illegal and one would think that whatever service was used to do the spoofing would prohibit this from being possible. I consider myself digitally savvy and yet I had to double check. Others may not be so lucky.

Q: Executing commands via REST Let's say I have a REST interface with a resource called Jobs which have Properties.  I'd have an interface that looks like this:
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /jobs/:id
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /jobs/:jobId/properties/:id

Now, let's assume that I want to execute that I want to execute that job.  Executions aren't really resources.  They are essentially commands that you want to tell the server to act upon Jobs.
What is the best interface from a REST perspective to do this?  Options I have come up with:
PUT /jobs/:id/execute
PUT /jobs/execute/:id
PUT /commands/execute_job/:jobId
POST /jobs/:id/executions

But I don't know which is best.  ALSO, I don't know if PUT is correct.  I am suggesting PUT because the execute command will ultimately modify some of the data on the Job resource.  My last option would turn execute into a resource, like I am creating a new execution, but that doesn't feel right because it is not like I am going to have GET/PUT/DELETE verbs on it.
What is the REST way to do this?

A: I've done some research, and I found that what I am referring to is a REST controller (from the DOCUMENT, COLLECTION, STORE, CONTROLLER) classification.
In this case, @Jon is correct.  The best representation of my command would be:
POST /jobs/:id/execute

Mobile Bay CVB Hires New Marketing VP
The Mobile Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau in Mobile, Ala., has hired Stacy Hamilton as its new vice president of marketing and communications, it announced this week.
"I am very pleased to announce Stacy as our new vice president of marketing and communications," Mobile Bay CVB President and CEO Leon Maisel said in a statement. "I am confident that her experience, talent, leadership and education will make her an asset to our Mobile Bay CVB team."
A native of Baton Rouge, Hamilton began her career in hospitality and destination marketing in 1988 as marketing and public relations manager for the Louisiana Travel Promotion Association. Since then, she's held positions with Louisiana's Oak Alley Plantation, Restaurant and Inn and with Florida resort developer The St. Joe Company, among others.
"Beautiful Mobile Bay has always held a special place in my heart and I am excited to have the opportunity to represent an area steeped in such tradition, adventure, history, beauty, culture and true Southern hospitality," Hamilton said. "The team in place at the CVB has an excellent reputation and it is a true honor to be working with such professionals in this new venture."
