Love A Child – Haitian children search for food at the dump
Haiti is under siege in certain areas and even the police respect no-go zones in some parts of Port-au-Prince.
Haiti's 15,735-member national police force is being outgunned by gangs and paramilitary units within its own ranks.
Courts have been shut down for two months following police brutality against the clerk of the court and lawyers in October 2018.
The US State Department warned American citizens not to travel to Haiti and authorized certain non-essential diplomatic personnel and their families to leave.
There is a lot of corruption in Haiti and the police force is divided, with some ignoring orders from their police chief, taking orders directly from the palace.
Officers are being burned alive and accused of staging killings in neighborhoods and controlling gangs, some of whom have exchanged gunfire with cops, while dressed as cops, reported the Miami Herald.
In the meantime, the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti has reduced its presence and is preparing to remove its support even further.
That's right, when the going gets rough, the Useless United Nations gets going!
Please pray for law enforcement and the stability of the Haitian government and peace in the region, especially in areas where God's people are working to feed the hungry and provide clothes and shelter.
The Love A Child Ministry is there in Haiti, with Missionaries Bobby and Sherry Burnette, who work endlessly with their staff to feed the hungry and provide care for many families and orphans at their complex. Please pray for their safety, as well as the safety of all the families and children who live at the orphanage and in the little homes built in their community.
Haiti is considered one of the poorest, if not the poorest nation in the world. The Love A Child Ministry is one of the most accountable nonprofit ministries in the world, as 94 percent of their donations are used for program services in Haiti, and only 3 percent for administration and another 3 percent for fundraising.
Please consider making a donation to care for malnourished children who scavenge through the dump for food every day, and for children who live at the orphanage and families who also live, work and receive help in the program. https://LoveAChild.com
Jesus said concerning the time of His return,
"Nation shall rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, there shall be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places" Matthew 24:7
In the meantime, we have this promise:
"He who has pity upon the poor lends to the Lord, and that which he has given (to the poor), He (the Lord) will pay him again" Proverbs 19:17

Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior; unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate (Romans 1:21-32; Hebrews 6:4-6). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

Abbas Supports Tripartite Confederation with Israel and Jordan
Please be advised that WordPress includes advertisements on this site; they are not selected by Bible Prophecy.
Screen shot: YouTube.com – Peace Now Director Shaqued Morag with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, September 2, 2018
The US State Department announced over the weekend that the US will cease funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas complained that the US is determined to "completely destroy UNRWA," which he said provides aid to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, during his meeting with Peace Now Director Shaqued Morag, Meretz MK Mossi Raz (a former Peace Now Director), and Zionist Union MK Ksenia Svetlova, who all met with Abbas on Sunday in Ramallah.
Protesters will be quick to say the Palestinians will starve and languish because of President Trump; they will trash him miserably over this withdrawal from UNRWA.
The Palestinians' oil rich brothers could stop funding quite so much terrorism throughout the world and give a little "Sadaqah" (Arab word for charity) to their fellow Muslims. They would perhaps let them die first. Nothing takes away from their "jihad" ("holy war" = terror) money.
Those who have been supporting Palestinians from non-Muslim nations have to keep supporting them, or they all might just drop dead. Muslims aren't going to give up their jihad/terror money for anything, because the Quran demands it (Quran 2:224, 2:216, 3:56, 3:151, 4:74, 4:76…there are over 100 verses promoting jihad = terror).
Finally, we have a president in America who is able to think logically and rationally. That comes by the power of Almighty God, Whose name President Trump glorifies – publicly – unlike any president before him. That's why he steps out of the puppet-president mold, friends, and that's exactly why the LLL Democrats hate him.
Abbas told Morag that US administration officials Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt asked him recently about his opinion of a "confederation with Jordan," reported The Times of Israel. "I said, Yes, I want a three-way confederation with Jordan and Israel. I asked them if the Israelis would agree to such a proposal."
Now that the money is leaving, it seems Abbas has suddenly changed his mind about not agreeing to peace proposals – without two states!
President Donald Trump is most capable of making a deal, as he stated frequently during his presidential campaign.
Many followers of Bible prophecy are looking for the prophetic and monumental seven-year peace treaty (Daniel 9:27) to begin between a Muslim leader and Israel, which will mark the beginning of the seven-year (Biblical "week") great tribulation. Historically, battling nations have made peace agreements after wars conclude; but they have also been signed before wars get started.
God's watchmen are also looking for signs of the commencement of the Gog Magog War against Israel (Ezekiel 38), instigated by the north country (Russia today), allied with Persia (Iran today), Libya and the ancient area of Ethiopia (which compassed a greater area than Ethiopia covers today).
The Times of Israel reported that Jordan's King Abdullah recently warned Trump about the possibility of a one-state solution, according to a Channel 10 report last month, citing French sources.
"Many young Palestinians don't want a two-state solution anymore, but would rather live together with Israelis in one state with equal rights for all…The result will be that Israel will lose its Jewish character," Abdullah reportedly told Trump. Trump reportedly then replied, "What you say makes sense…the prime minister of Israel in a few years will be called Mohammed."
Actually, he is called the antichrist (three and a-half years into the great tribulation – Daniel 9:27).
If that sounds funny, know this, that is exactly the antichrist's tactic. He plans to entice Israel into such a community with the "people of death" (Isaiah 28:15-18).
Albeit, God Himself has a Final Solution of sorts already planned (Zechariah 14) for His beguiled people.
"The Lord shall be King over all the earth (when He returns with His saints to fight the Battle of Armageddon). In that day there shall be one Lord and His name shall be one…Jerusalem shall be raised up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the king's winepress. The people shall dwell in it and no longer shall there be utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited" Zechariah 14:9-11.
"And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet; their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets and their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths" Zechariah 14:12.
The Jewish Prophet Zechariah described the effects of a neutron bomb thousands of years ago. Does that not intrigue you?
God also gave the neutron bomb formula to a Jew, Samuel T Cohen, in 1958, just 10 years after Israel became a nation again! God's timing is relevant in all respects.
That is God Almighty; the epitome of love, taking the penalty for our sins at the cross; yet the epitome of wrath – when people just won't listen!
The point here is that according to all of the latter day prophecies combined, we are on the cusp of eternity, folks, and the world's cup of iniquity is overflowing.
Don't be deceived by peace agreements; get right with God while there is still an opportunity. Read God's Holy Word and find out for yourself how prophecies thousands of years old have been fulfilled, hundreds of them, and see how some should be fulfilled shortly, according to the prophetic signs detailed in God's Holy Word.
"When they shall say, Peace and Safety, then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape" 1 Thessalonians 5:3
Salvation is offered to everyone who repents of sin and receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior; unless a person crosses a line with God, to the point of becoming reprobate (Romans 1:21-32). Now is the time of salvation for everyone; tomorrow, or even the next hour, could be too late.

US Withdraws From UNESCO
The Trump administration announced last week that the United States is withdrawing from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), indicating other nations' failure to pay their fees, in addition to their constant bias against Israel.
The State Department's spokeswoman Heather Nauert said,
"This decision was not taken lightly and reflects US concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO, the need for fundamental reform in the organization and continuing anti-Israel bias at UNESCO."
Let's hope this is the start of the United States backing out of the UUN entirely, lest we continue to waste $3 billion a year so Palestinian members can blame Israel because they beat their wives!
That's true; they really spent valuable time and tax dollars bringing this stupidity before the UUN! On the other hand, good thing they mentioned it. Now the world knows Palestinians are not only terrorists, but they beat their wives too!
God bless President Donald Trump. First, he is tackling illegal immigration, then one of the worst fraudulent acts against the American people, Obama(don't)care, then the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which isn't as good as the name, withdraws from UUNESCO (let's add "Useless" to the acronym) and decertifies the catastrophic Iran nuclear deal!
"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law he meditates day and night" Psalms 1:1-2.
President Trump is blessed for lifting up the name of the Lord, for honoring the laws of God, for honoring our Veterans and the American people, and he is blessed for blessing Israel!
God told Abraham, the grandfather of Israel,
"I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you, and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed" Genesis 12:3.
Sincerely pray for God's blessings upon Israel, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and you will also be blessed!

Inaugural Day Rioters Face Prison Time
Screen shots: YouTube.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmDZ8IvLOD0
INAUGURATION DAY RIOTERS FACE PRISON TIME
Before they might have accepted George Soros's "riot funding," Inauguration Day rioters should have considered who is now in office.
It certainly isn't do-nothing Obama and his lawless cronies, who opened our borders to criminals, repeat felons, murderers and Muslim terrorists, only to have them end up killing many of our citizens and their children!
No, it is now President Donald J Trump in the Oval Office, the one who gives God all of the honor and glory He deserves, and who will NOT put up with rioters who injure people and their property and pose a danger to our police officers!
Americans have a new State Department, a new Attorney General, a new FBI Director with the same ideology President Trump: commit the crime, YOU WILL DO THE TIME!
The restored US Attorney's Office issued a statement that felony rioting is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Many, many thanks to our new President and law enforcement agencies.
If you are one of the 230 protesters arrested on Inauguration Day, you might try to get in touch with George Soros and ask him if he is going to do your time and pay your fine!
George Soros is legendary for "making and breaking" nations around the world with his billions and "insight." Since conservative Donald Trump won the presidency, headlines reported that Soros has plans to unseat President Trump. Soros, however, should carefully consider what the Word of God has to say about that:
"Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His, and He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding" Daniel 2:20-21.
God has seen the injustice, He heard the prayers of His people throughout this nation and He answered our prayers. We no longer have a president in America that allows lawlessness, keeps his mouth shut against those who slaughter Christians in the Middle East in the most heinous ways, who no longer allows Muslim terrorists to enter our nation and blow up our citizens, nor will he allow illegal aliens to enter this country who have criminal records and who kill and maim our citizens and their children!
We, the American people of these United States, have a new President whom God Himself has placed into office, who will uphold our laws, our United States Constitution and our Bill of Rights!
"I know your works, behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it, for you have a little strength and have kept My Word and have not denied My Name" Revelation 3:8.
This is a passage of scripture that American Christians can hold dear to their hearts today. God heard, God saw, and God acted in our behalf to set a President in office that would honor Him and work to serve and protect God's people, until He returns for us!
God bless President Donald Trump, his family and his administration.
As for those who will try to "shut the door" that "God has opened" to His saints, they should take heed. They may be shut behind prison doors, which they will not be able to open – now that there is a law-abiding President in the White House!

When Ivory Towers Were Black: A Story about Race in America's Cities and Universities traces the efforts to open Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation to ethnic minority students in the late 1960s and '70s. This initiative was spearheaded by the school's Division of Planning and the university-wide, Ford Foundation-funded Urban Center and was not always in line with the university as a whole. The book looks at the forces that allow for and impede institutional transformation and presents a story about diversity both in higher education and in the profession that is still relevant today.


We hadn't been to a museum yet this trip, so we had to rectify that. Today we went to the Ayala Museum.
It combined art and history.
I especially appreciated the 61 dioramas that told the history of the Philippines, from pre-colonial times to the problems caused by the Spaniards, British and Americans.
Dinner was my first udon meal at Maragame Udon. I had a beef bowl that was delicious. Diner for the 4 of us was $21.
I'll work on my impressions of Manila in a post tomorrow as we make our way home, via Portland, Oregon for a wedding that was important for us to attend.

Q: Counting subsets with intersecting property I'd like to count the number of pairs of subsets $A,B$ of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ such that $|A|=|B|=k$ and if $A=\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_k\}$ with $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_k $ and $B=\{b_1, b_2, \dots, b_k\}$ with $b_1 < b_2 < \cdots < b_k $, then $ a_i = b_i $ for $i=1, 2, \dots, m$. Ideally, I'd like to find a closed form expression (without sums) involving $ n $, $ k $, and $ m $.
Does anyone know any references for tackling these sort of counting problems? Thanks!

A: The answer with a summation is $$\sum_{i=m}^{n-k+m} \binom{i-1}{m-1}\binom{n-i}{k-m}^2.$$ The interpretation is $i=a_m=b_m$. Choose $\{a_1,\dots,a_{m-1}\}$ in $\binom{i-1}{m-1}$ ways, then choose $\{a_{m+1},\dots,a_k\}$ and $\{b_{m+1},\dots,b_k\}$ in $\binom{n-i}{k-m}^2$ ways.
I think it is very likely that no closed form exists. I applied the methods of the book A = B to this summation, first using Zeilberger's algorithm to find a linear recurrence satisfied by your summation, then Petkovšek's algorithm to determine if this recurrence had a closed form, and found none. This proves there are no hypergeometric closed forms to your summation, which means there is no closed form involving arithmetic operations, exponentiation with constant bases, factorials, and binomial coefficients.

Hi, people! I have loads of DVD's of different TV series and I want to save them all into my external hard disk so I don't have to carry them around when I am away from home. How do you rip them into high quality and into their respective episodes? I see a lot of DVD ripped torrents are in good quality and broken down into episodes, so how do I do it like that?
As we know, an episode is a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of movie or TV series. It is frequently used in soap operas, science fiction series, comedies and animated films. Typically, the episodes of episodic TV shows are classified according to the plot or storyline of film script.
In case of wanting the ripped video to be sequenced and sorted by episode, you can choose Pavtube ByteCopy to produce 1:1 quality in terms of both audio and video to better meet requirements of users over the video quality, as well as keeping all the subtitles and audio tracks, without transcoding the audio and video streams. And the most important reason to buy ByteCopy is its copy entire disk function or MKV multi-track outputing.
Now your get it installed and lets get started! I will share my experience for the easy way to backup TV Series DVD to lossless MKV in separated Episodes.
Launch the program and add the movie you want to encode by clicking the "Load file(s)" icon on the main interface. You can see the chapter information of your TV Series DVD movies on the main interface after you loading to the program.
Then choose the output format. In order to preserve the chapter structure and subtitles, you'd better choose the "Multi-track Video". Under this profile, you have three choices which all can preserve chapter structure.
If you choose "Lossless/encoded Multi-track MKV(*mkv)" format, you can output the BD/DVD with lossless quality and allow multiple audio tracks, multiple subtitles.
One special function that makes ByteCopy stands out is you can easily select you needed tracks, subtitles.
The last thing you need to do is hit the "Convert" button to copy TV Series DVD to lossless MKV format. Just wait a moment and then you can output the lossless mkv videos in separated Episodes. Have a fun of it!

Walker Evans: The Interview: With Leslie George Katz
In 1971, Art in America published an interview with Walker Evans conducted by Leslie George Katz, writer and publisher of the Eakins Press.
The interview is charming and illuminating in its clarity and candor. Nearing the end of his life, Evans speaks freely about his influences and how he got started as a photographer ("I was damn well going to be an artist and I wasn't going to be a businessman," he remembers), and reflects back on his work and his thinking. The interview has become legendary, consulted by curators, scholars and students for half a century and considered a definitive source for insights into the process, philosophy and personality of one of America's greatest photographers.
In 1995, the Eakins Press Foundation republished Evans' interview in a deluxe clothbound edition titled Walker Evans Incognito. More than 20 years later, this new edition brings the Evans interview back into print in an elegant and affordable volume for a new generation. Walker Evans scholar Anne Bertrand introduces the interview and its publication history, and contributes notes throughout the text that provide important contextual information. Walker Evans: The Interview offers an opportunity to rediscover the man behind the famous images, in his own words.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Walker Evans (1903-75) took up photography in 1928. His book collaboration with James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), which portrayed the lives of three white tenant families in southern Alabama during the Depression, has become one of that era's most defining documents. Evans joined the staff of Time magazine in 1945, and shortly after moved to Fortune magazine, where he stayed until 1965. That year, he became a professor of photography at the Yale University School of Art. Evans died at his home in Old Lyme, Connecticut, in 1975.
Leslie George Katz (1918-97) was the founder and publisher of the Eakins Press Foundation. Until his death in 1997, he wrote extensively about American art and culture, and through his sustained efforts to celebrate his heroes--Thomas Eakins, Walt Whitman, and Walker Evans--found a way to define a new sort of democratic, patriotic intellectualism.

"I Don't Wanna Be an Asshole Anymore"
Via SoundCloud
Greg Barnett is profusely sorry for his actions and will stop at nothing to apologize: He'll be a kinder man, he won't take issue with your friends, he'll stop stumbling home late at night, he'll cut down on the booze, whatever it takes to keep the one good thing in his life. Of course, you'll notice that the opening track from the Menzingers' new Epitaph LP Rented World does not take its title from the other notable lyric from its chorus: "Baby, I'll be good to you."
No, this one's called, "I Don't Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore", and the Scranton, Penn. band ensures it goes beyond its undeniable premise to give the past, the present and the future entailed in Barnett's promise some weight. As on their wildly acclaimed 2012 album On the Impossible Past, the Menzingers excel in desperate, earnest melodic punk with just enough Replacements-esque recklessness to make it clear that the next drink, the next girl or the next endless after-party is never that far out of Barnett's reach and the fight to not fuck up is never over.

The LGBTIQ+ List 2021: Raven Twigg, Metropolis Music
Continuing a series of interviews with this year's queer pioneers, IQ speaks to Raven Twigg, promoter assistant at Metropolis Music in the UK
By IQ on 28 Jul 2021
Raven Twigg, Metropolis Music
The LGBTIQ+ List 2021 – IQ's first annual celebration of queer professionals who make an immense impact in the international live music business – was published in the inaugural Pride edition (issue 101) this month.
The 20 individuals comprising the LGBTIQ+ List 2021, as nominated by our readers and verified by our esteemed steering committee, have gone above and beyond to wave the flag for an industry that we can all be proud of.
To get to know this year's queer pioneers a little better, IQ asked each individual to share their challenges, triumphs, advice and more. Each day this month, we'll publish a new interview with an individual on the LGBTIQ+ List 2021. Catch up on the previous interview with Doug Smith, SVP field operations UK & Ireland, Ticketmaster here.
Raven Twigg
She/her/they
Promoter assistant, Metropolis Music/founder, Women Connect UK

Tell us about a personal triumph in your career.
Whilst I was a student in Manchester, I bagged myself a casual job working on the customer service desk at Manchester Arena, igniting the bug in me to be at as many live shows as possible. I was able to meet people, prove my hard-working nature and be offered a position programming the venue, as well as other arenas and theatres across the UK. I don't think any of us knew then that I'd end up in London then booking talent into the venue myself, but I'm extremely grateful to those who offered me an opportunity back then. I feel extremely proud of myself for my journey.
What advice could you give for young queer professionals?
Seek out inclusive spaces such as networking collectives, queer talent nights, etc… It's only once you're around like-minded people that you can access your full potential.
Tell us about a professional challenge you often come across as a queer person.
I've never felt any challenges with Metropolis Music, personally. We're a very diverse and inclusive team and I'm very grateful for that. I have been told in other work environments that I 'don't look gay'. I'm not sure what gay looks like, and it took me a long time to even identify with that word.
Once colleagues become aware of your sexuality, some folx will look at you differently and can never 'unsee' your queerness. I've also had my sexuality and relationship discussed like office gossip, and that set me back significantly as I struggled with understanding why others found it such a big deal, and felt extremely othered and vulnerable.
"To change the discourse of seeing the same white, cis-gendered male, indie bands littered all over line-ups, it starts with us"
What one thing could the industry do to be more inclusive?
Seek out queer, trans and non-binary talent, whether that's on an artist front or for your employment opportunities. We need to give marginalised groups a foot through the door where we can. To change the discourse of seeing the same white, cis-gendered male, indie bands littered all over festival line-ups, it starts with us. By becoming more inclusive with our Spotify streaming habits, the demands shift and marginalised groups are given a platform.
A causes you support.
London Friend. They're an LGBTQ+ voluntary counselling service and they helped me masses over the past year in terms of "coming out" to my family and friends, accepting myself and being in a same-sex relationship. It's safe to say that without them and my counsellor, specifically, I wouldn't be writing this so publicly for you today.
Women Connect. I have to plug our collective, of course. We are a femxle-forward collective creating safer, all-inclusive spaces, good fortune and equal opportunities for women, non-binary people and gender-fluid folx working in the creative industries and beyond.
The collective was birthed from a place of passion and the undeniable need for women in the creative industry to come together organically. We're entirely self-funded and we aim to create a safe environment for our community.
"I can already see the [post-pandemic] differences when communicating with agents and venues"
What does the near future of the industry look like?
Hopefully, very busy! The pandemic has affected our industry like no other. With the opportunity to grow and educate ourselves whilst working from home (I appreciate this isn't the case for everyone), we've had more time to focus on ourselves and I truly think the industry will bounce back to a stronger and kinder place.
I can already see the differences when communicating with agents and venues, we all understand the difficulties each of our areas of the industry has bear witness to and it feels so much more united.
How would you like to see the industry build back better, post-pandemic?
I hope that the industry, post-pandemic will be a more forgiving place and make space to look after one another better. Our industry can be exhausting, my personal record is four gigs in one night. We need to create boundaries and practice saying no – we physically can't be at every live show and it shouldn't be looked down upon if you're taking a night off to go home, cook yourself a hearty meal and put your feet up.
Our mental health is the most important thing, let's try to approach situations with compassion. Always say please and thank you and let your employees and colleagues know that you appreciate them. It's easy to forget that even the busiest of humans, are still humans and a thank you can go a long way.

After a somewhat nasty intermittent rainy days the past few days, the bright sunshine appeared for the first outdoor race of the 2007. Today's 1st AllComers at Gombak stadium kicked start the local athletics season. An early season race which serves as a build-up all the way to the 'big one' at the end of the year, the SEA Games 2007. The event today saw plenty of athletes and supporters coming down to SAA Centre of Excellence.
For those in contention for the SEA Games squad, the event today was in part a selection criteria based on their timings/results at their respective events they took. Well there are also plenty of athletes who came just to seek a personal best. Our local circuit races in recent times has seen our neigbouring athletes from Malaysia, Johor taking part in the meet.
After the usual panic of sorting out numbers, pins, warm-ups at the start of the race, overall it was a good day for most athletes. This reporter was however puzzled at the 2x100m event held before the 5000m men's race. Exciting as it is being the relays, what purpose does it serve? I was told it was a training for the sprints pre-selected SEA Games squad. Today's event was already terribly delayed and as far as I recalled, it wasn't on the program schedule. The 5000m runners as I observed was as puzzled as me. Being them, I wasn't surprised they were 'grumbling' that they had to wait even longer. They could have hold it after the 5000m race, well that's my opinion anyway.
