history of his occupation and how he acquired 2,000 acres of land in Illinois.
Among the early comers to this county, who by their own indomitable energy and perserverence, have acquired sufficient to enable them, in the evening of life, to retire from its active labor, is the gentleman of whom this brief biographical notice is written. He is today passing the sunset of life in peace and quiet retirement in the village of Wataga. Coming here in 1835, prior to the organization of the county into townships, and at a time when the hand of civilization was hardly visible, he has here continued to reside for upward of 51 years, winning the respect of his fellow citizens by his straightforward and manly dealings, and slowly acquiring a competency.
Mr. Duval was born in Virginia, February 28, 1802. His parents were James T. and Judah (Jennings) Duval, natives of Culpepper county. His father was a farmer by occupation, and also a slave-owner and came to this state in 1835, settling at Appanoose, opposite Fort Madison, in Hancock county, where he died about the year 1838. He was a soldier in the War of 1812, under the command of Colonel Thomas D. Owens. The mother died in Arkansas.
The subject of this notice was the oldest of a family of eight children, viz: Thomas C., Sarah A., Elizabeth, Lucinda, James, W.T., Daniel J. Judith A. and Nancy J, all of whom reached mature years and all were married and raised families.
Our subject received a common-school education and worked on his father's farm until his coming to this State. Arriving here, he worked a seeason in Warren County, where for one year he rented a farm. He then came to this county and located four miles north of Galesburg, in Henderson Township, where he purchased a claim of a quarter-section of land, giving therefor $150. He subsequently perfected the title to his land by paying an additional sum of $450. On this claim he settled and there laid the foundation of his present competency, and there continued to reside until 1855. He then moved to Henderson village, where he purchased another farm and there lived, energetically engaged in the vocation of an agriculturist, until 1863. It was during that year that Mr. Duval came to Wataga, where in close proximity to the village, he had previously, in 1850, purchased 240 acres. This purchase was made long prior to the establishment of the present village of Wataga or even before the idea originated in the mind of man that a village was to be established at taht place. On this 240 acres of land, which Mr. Duval had disposed of by sale, the present thriving little village of Wataga now stands. On coming to the village, Mr. Duval purchased a residence and lot and has there lived until this writing. Our subject at one time was the proprietor of 2,000 acres of land in this county. He has given the major portion of his land to his children, and at present is the proprietor of only 200 acres. Success seems to have attended his every effort in life. When he first came to this state, he had but $100, and through his own energy and perseverance, coupled with the active co-operation of his good helpmeet, together with his children, his success may be attributable.
Mr. Duval was united in marriage April 2, 1823, with Miss Nancy Shumate, a native of Virginia, where she was born August 19, 1805. She is the daughter of Berryman and Elizabeth (Nelson) Shumate, natives of Virginia. Mr. Shumate was a soldier in the WAr of 1812. Mrs. Duval was one of a family of six children, viz: Polly, Nancy, Eliza, Lydia, William and Hiram, all of whom grew to man and womanhood.
Of the union of Mr. Duval and Miss Shumate, a family of ten children, have been born: Elizabeth (Mrs. Lewis) has borne her husband 11 children, nine of whom are living -William, HIram, James, Melvina, Thomas, Aaron, Benjamin, Nancy and Albert; Willaim Duvan married Minerva Browner, and their chidren are Thomas, Elizabeth, Clara, James, John C., Lewis, George, Alice, Frederick and Berryman; Martha Duval who is at present Mrs. Reed, has borne her husband the following children, Nancy, Helen, Sarah, Frances, Polly, Albert, and Dora" Mary Duval became Mrs. Eli, and she and her husband have three children, Nancy, Nellie and Willie; Helen Duval married Mr. Vaughn, and their children are Lydia, Sarah L., James, John, Elmo, Dora and Benjamin; Eleanor Duval became Mrs. Gray, and their children are Fank, George, May, Septer, Edwin and Nettie; Nancy A. Duval is the wife of James Roundtree.
Mr. Duval of this notice is the grandfather of 43 children and the greatgrandfather of 41. The coming generation of his kinsmen, when they read the life of our subject, cannot but appreciate the energy with which he has passed through so many trials and come out so successfully.
In his politics, Mr Duval is a believer in and a supporter of the principles of the Republican party, and is one of the citizens of Knox county respected and honored for what he is as well as for what he has been.
Duval, Thomas Carter, son of James and Judith (Jennings) Duval, was born in Bath Co., KY, Feb. 28, 1802. His father was of French descent, was born in Virginia and was a soldier in the War of 1812. Mr. Duval was reared to manhood in Kentucky, where he learned the cooper's trade, which he followed both in his native State and in Illinois.
He was married in Bath County, April 2, 1822 to Nancy Shumate, who was born in Virginia, Aug. 19, 1804, and died at Wataga, March 2, 1888. Ten children were born to them: Barryman, Elizabeth, Martha, James, William, Mary, Helen, Ellenor, Daniel J., and Ann.
Ellenor (now Mrs. S. S. Soper of Wataga) who places a portrait in this volume in memory of her father, was born in Henderson Township, Knox Co., May 3, 1839. She received her education in a district school and always lived on a farm. She was first married to David Temple, and had one child, Thomas F. She was married to Mr. Soper in Henderson Township in Oct. 1861. They have five children: George T., Mary E., Septimus S., Edward D., and Nettie May. Thomas F. is a farmer in Boone Co, IA; George T. is a farmer in Clark Co, MO.; Mary E. is Mrs. Mary E. Russell of Wataga, Knox Co, IL.; Septimus S. is in the Klondike gold fields; Edward D. is a farmer near Wataga, and Nellie M. is Mrs. Nellie May Jacobson.
Mr. Thomas C. Duval came to Illinois in 1835, settling first in Warren County, near Robinson's Point, and removing to Henderson Township, Knox Co, in 1836. He brought to Illinois his wife, six children and one hundred dollars in money. He invested the money in land in Henderson Township, and his industry and good management insured success. When corn sold for a dollar a bushel he invested the proceeds in land, and in 1869 owned about two thousand acres in Sparta and Henderson townships.
In politics Mr. Duval was a republican, and he was a member of the Christian Church. He was a good and an upright citizen, ever ready to help others with money as well as advice. He was especially lenient to his tenants, sometimes giving them a second chance if crops failed, and, in one case at least, aiding a tenant, who was unable to pay his rent, to weather the storm and finally secure a farm of his own. Mr. Duval was kind-hearted and true, a kind father and a good neighbor, a man whose place could not easily be filled. His death occurred in Wataga, Sept. 25, 1890.

San Diego, California, July 21, 2014 – Puregraft LLC, a leader in the development and commercialization of autologous fat (adipose) grafting systems, is pleased to announce that a peer-reviewed paper evaluating the use of the Puregraft adipose filtration technology has been published in the July 2014 issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal1.
In this study, the investigators compared the rates of graft retention (an important measure of fat grafting success) in 26 patients, or 52 hemifaces, using the Puregraft technology versus a historical study of centrifuge processed fat grafts. The mean follow-up period was 17 months and the mean amount of fat injected into the treated areas was 8.88 mL. The authors reported that the mean retention rate of 41.2% found in the Puregraft population was statistically significantly higher than the 31.8% found in the centrifuge processed samples. Further, mean retention of the Puregraft group was significantly higher (53%) in patients younger than 55 years of age. Retention rates were measured volumetrically using a 3D camera and software system.
According to facial plastic surgeon Mark Glasgold, M.D., F.A.C.S., senior author of the paper, "Fat grafting has long been criticized for its unpredictable rates of retention. Puregraft helps to address this shortcoming and performed better when compared to traditional methods of processing." The study results are consistent with previously published results, showing that Puregraft processing was less traumatic and more efficient at removing free lipids, blood cells, and fluid as compared to centrifuge processing.
The Puregraft range of products feature sterile, single-use disposable units in three sizes (50mL, 250mL, and 850 mL), designed for optimized fat grafting to the face, body, and breast. Within 15 minutes, the surgeon can have high quality fat ready for reinjection. The advanced filtration systems effectively remove cell-damaging free lipids as well as contaminating white and red blood cells, thereby contributing to increased graft retention.
Today, the Puregraft system has been used over 30,000 times in operating rooms around the world.

Doctor Who, Movies & TV
April 5, 2008 Richard 4 Comments
I think perhaps it was a mistake to air the first part of the new series of Doctor Who quite so soon after the last part of Torchwood as it really marks out the differences between the two programmes. After a dire episode of Torchwood we get a great opening to the new series of Doctor Who – and Donna was nowhere near as annoying as I thought she would be either!
The plot of the first episode, Partners in Crime, revolved around a new alien called the Adipose. Through a front company they are marketing themselves as a miracle diet – except the diet pills are essentially alien eggs that absorb fat from the host species – in this case humans – and as the company adverts say, "The fat just walks awayâ€?. However, it's not totally foolproof – if the process goes wrong, Adipose can form themselves from any biological matter in the host, reducing them to nothing.
At the beginning of the episode, both the Doctor and Donna are separately investigating the company, and through the early part of the episode you get the two characters narrowly missing seeing each other on a couple of occasions, in a sequence reminiscent of numerous comedy routines over the years. Ultimately they spot each other, just at the wrong time, when they are both outside the offices of Miss Foster, the person running the whole operation. All of those sequences work fantastically thanks to having two good actors in the form of David Tennant and Catherine Tate to pull it off.
This being a new companion, we also get to meet the family – or in this case re-meet them as her mother appeared in The Runaway Bride, and Bernard Cribbins character from Voyage of the Damned, Wilfred Mott, is Donna's grandfather. In amongst the action and comedy moments, Donna and her grandfather share a touching moment where Donna confides in him what she is looking for – something she cannot tell her mother.
The story is interesting in that it could be argued that there isn't really a 'baddie'. The cute little Adipose are quite happily breeding, and in fact are a benefit to their hosts in that they are consuming something the humans want to get rid of – the point where one host totally decomposes is actually caused by Donna herself, who by fiddling with one of the pendants that the Adipose use to mark the hosts that she has stolen, interferes with the breeding process. Indeed the final mass birth is only triggered because the Adipose have been discovered by the Doctor the implication is that had they not been discovered, things would have carried on and nobody would have noticed. This is definitely one of those episodes where you wonder whether the interference of the Doctor was actually for the best. An ethical question to ponder no doubt.
After watching the Adipose leave, Donna and the Doctor head for the TARDIS – stopping only to pick up her suitcases from her car, Donna being one of the few companions to have packed in advance for her trip with the Doctor. At this point, Donna has to get her car keys back to her mother which she does by hiding them, and then giving a cryptic message to a woman waiting in the crowd. Now if you've managed to miss the pre-publicity for the series, when the woman turns around it will be a total curve ball, as the woman is none other than Rose Tyler – even more perplexing as she walks away she seems to fade into nothing. No explanations on that, but I'm sure all will become clear in a few weeks time…
All in all it was a great episode with which to kick off the new season, a good crowd pleasing story with a nice mix of comedy and action, and one Rose Tyler shaped mystery to tantalise for the weeks ahead.

The Runaway Bride
December 28, 2006 Richard Leave a comment
So after all the building excitement, we've had The Runaway Bride, this years Doctor Who Christmas Special.
The episode was a definite fast action romp, with the previously leaked chase sequence turning up pretty early on, as Donna, the bride in question takes a taxi in order to try and get back to her wedding, which from the pre-credit sequence, she mysteriously vanished from as she was walking down the aisle.
The question of how she transferred across billions of miles of space from her wedding into the TARDIS was explained as being due to her being saturated in Huon particles, a small amount of which are present in the heart of the TARDIS itself. Presumably the large amounts of power that the Doctor had been using to make his last communication with Rose resulting in the long distance attraction of the particles in Donna bringing her to the TARDIS. The Doctor uses the same effect later in the episode to bring the TARDIS to Donna.
It transpires that Donna has been inadvertently working at a company that was formerly part of Torchwood, but following the destruction of the London Torchwood at the end of Doomsday, the company is now being used as a front for the Racnoss, the last of whom is using the resources of the company to try and revive members of her race who had been hidden millions of years ago in the core of the Earth. The aforementioned Huon particles being used to reactivate them, but needing to be in a large enough concentration, Donna has been used as a human container, with the particles being gradually built up over the previous six months. The wedding is also part of the plan, as the Racnoss human agent had agreed to marry Donna in order to allow him to continue the plan.
Needless to say the Doctor foils the plan and saves the Earth, and the episode finishes with the Doctor asking, and Donna refusing to go with him. Instead, the Doctor uses the TARDIS to produce a snow shower (which probably explains the unseasonal London snow fall in Eastenders I guess) and then departs.
All in all it was a quite entertaining hour for Christmas Day. Donna was definitely different from Rose, and unlike last Christmas where Tennant spent the majority of the episode incapacitated, this time around it was definitely him who was the star of the show. The episode carried on at a breakneck speed, with some spectacular sequences. The TARDIS chase was definitely one of the highlights – and definitely something they couldn't have done before the advent of CGI. Having said that, the spectacular Racnoss – a giant spider, wasn't produced in the same way – this was apparently actually built.
The story was dated as present day, dropping it in as a further part of the latest continuity/dating hiccup that I expect will rival the UNIT dating controversy from the seventies for confusion. In much the same way, Rose was dated present day, and then subsequent return visits to Earth were said to be months in the future, particularly Aliens of London which is twelve months later. This pushes the events of both The Christmas Invasion and Doomsday into the future, making both the present day dating of Runaway Bride and the main Torchwood series somewhat problematic.
Anyway, as with last year, the episode was followed by a preview of the upcoming series, with flashes of Martha Jones the new companion, some nice shots of the Globe Theatre from the upcoming Shakespeare episode amongst other things. However, at the end of the trailer we also get confirmation of the return of the Daleks, in a story that is set in Manhattan in the 1930's. Certainly much to look forward to.

My interview with American Airlines pilot Bob Snow
He nearly died right after landing the plane. He's pissed that they forced him to take a vaccine he never wanted. Now he's talking about what happened. I talked to him right after he left the hospital
Here's the interview:
Ever wonder why so many flights are delayed or canceled? A lot of it is due to injuries caused by the vaccine mandates.
Today, there are many pilots who are vaccine injured and not saying anything, endangering the public.
Here's what happened to one vaccine injured pilot who now has to retire because he's unable to fly anymore.
He speaks freely, right after being released from the hospital.
And no, the CEO of American Airlines, working just 10 minutes away didn't call or come visit him. That's the way they treat "family" at American Airlines.
Other articles about the vaccine and pilots
I wonder if the vaccine is causing all these incidents. I'm told they are safe and effective. But that's not what the data says.

Had he done that the airline would have already hired him back and restored all the pay he'd lost.

Flexible AC Transmission System - What and Why?
Flexible AC Transmission System – What and Why?
Home / Technical Articles / Flexible AC Transmission System – What and Why?
Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) have been evolving to a mature technology with high power rating.
This technology has wide spread application, became a top rate, most reliable one, based on power electronics. The main purpose of these systems is to supply the network as quickly as possible with inductive or capacitive reactive power that is adapted to its particular requirements, while also improving transmission quality and the efficiency of the power transmission system.
With the progression and development in power electronics application not only improved the performance of AC systems but also make it feasible for long distance.
Any type of reactive power compensation employing either switched or controlled units that are connected in parallel to the transmission network at a power system node.
Mechanical switched capacitors are a simple but low speed solution for voltage control and network stabilization under heavy load condition. Their utilization has almost no effect on the short circuit power but it increases the voltage at the point of connection. Mechanical switched reactors have exactly the opposite effect and are therefore preferable for achieving stabilization under low load conditions.
An advanced form of mechanically switched capacitor is the MSCDN. This device is an MSC with an additional damping circuit for avoidance of system resonances.
Static Var compensators are a fast and reliable means of controlling voltage lines and system nodes. The reactive power is changed by switching or controlling reactive power elements connected to the secondary side of the transformer. Each capacitor bank is switched ON and OFF by thyristor valve (TSC).
Reactor can be either switched (TSR) or controlled (TCR) by thyristor valves.
When system voltage is low, the SVC supplies capacitive reactive power and raises the network voltage. When system voltage is high, the SVC generates inductive reactive power and reduces the system voltage.
The design and configuration of an SVC, including the size of the installation, operating conditions and losses, depend on the system condition (weak or strong), the system configuration (meshed or radial) and the tasks to be performed.
The modular SVC PLUS is equipped with an IGBT multilevel converter and a storage capacitor on the DC side. From approximately +/- 25 MVA to +/- MVAr, all of the main equipment, including the IGBT converter, the control and protection system and the converter cooling system of the SVC PLUS, is installed in a container and factory pretested so that it is ready to be installed outdoor at the site.
For indoor installations, converter modules with approximately +/- 100 MVAr are available.
Parallel operation of converter modules is also possible, resulting in higher ratings. The footprint of an SVC PLUS installation is smaller than a conventional SVC installation of the same rating.
Series compensation is defined as insertion of reactive power element into transmission lines.
The most common application is the fixed series capacitor (FSC). Thyristor-valve controlled systems (TCSC) and thyristor-valve protected systems (TPSC) may also be installed.
The simple and most cost effective type of series compensation is provided by FSCs. FSCs comprise the actual capacitor banks, and for protection purposes, parallel arresters (metal oxide varistors, MOVs), spark gaps and a bypass switch for isolation purpose.
Reactive power compensation by means of TCSCs can be adapted to a wide range of operating conditions. It is also possible to control the current and thus the load flow in parallel transmission lines, which simultaneously improves system stability. Further applications for TCSC including power oscillation damping and mitigation of sub synchronous resonance (SSR), which is a crucial issue in case of large thermal generators.
When high power thyristors are used, there is no need to install conventional spark gaps or surge arresters. Due to the very short cooling down times of the special thyristor valves, TPSCs can be quickly returned to service after a line fault, allowing the transmission lines to be utilized to their maximum capacity.
TPSCs are the first choice whenever transmission lines must be returned to maximum carrying capacity as quickly as possible after a failure.
Extension of HV AC networks, coupling of independent grids and adding of new generation increase the existing short-circuit power in many cases. If the designed short-circuit level of the existing equipment is exceeded, and extension of the network, without extremely costly replacement of the existing equipment, is not possible.
This no-go criteria can be avoided by using the Siemens short-circuit current limiter.
By combining the TPSC with an external reactor, this combination can now be used as short-circuit current limiter (SCCL).
In case of a system fault, the thyristor valve will be fired, by passing the series capacitor. The corresponding short-circuit current will be limited by the reactor to the design values.
An interesting overview of the technology and a useful aid in teaching. Must admire the bravery of development engineers in achieving such high withstand voltages, simultaneous firing and protection of the solid state components.
In practice, what works and measures to optimize the reactive power occurs.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doubled down Wednesday on insisting that his players stand for the national anthem, declaring that he wouldn't support anyone who chose to stay in the locker room.
Speaking at his annual news conference to open training camp in California, the outspoken billionaire became the first owner to say publicly that his players would not be allowed to stay off the field during the anthem.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones apologizes for racially insensitive remark in video
"No," Jones said when asked if he would support players staying in the locker room. "Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line."
Last week, the NFL and the players' union agreed to suspend the rule approved by owners this spring that gave players the option of staying in the locker room while allowing teams to discipline players who took a knee or sat during the anthem.
The decision to begin negotiating on the issue came hours after the Associated Press reported that Miami Dolphins players who protested during the anthem could be suspended for up to four games under team policy.
Last season, Jones was the first owner to declare that he would bench a player for protesting during the anthem. Two of his players – defensive linemen David Irving and Damontre Moore – raised their fists briefly as The Star-Spangled Banner ended but weren't disciplined.
"I obviously wouldn't dare speak for any of the other owners, much less in general about 31 other owners," Jones said. "As far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned, you know where I stand. Our team knows where I stand on the issue."
The issue erupted in 2016 when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began protesting police brutality, social injustice and racial inequality by kneeling during the national anthem. The demonstration spread to other players and teams.
The NFL started requiring players to be on the field for the anthem in 2009, the year it signed a marketing deal with the military. Jones had already owned the Cowboys for 20 years when players moved from the locker room to the field for the anthem.
Jones said he understood the point of view of players who say they aren't protesting the flag or the military.
"This is a case where we need to in my mind check that and be real clear that it is, the priority is about the flag, and be real clear about that," Jones said. "Sometimes it's best to just be real clear and succinct so that nobody misunderstands. I think that's our case."
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said the Cowboys don't have an anthem issue because his father has made his stance clear from the beginning.
"I do understand when you see the back and forth," Stephen Jones said. "But we've been consistent and we've never moved. Jerry's never changed his stance once. I think he feels strongly about it."
The younger Jones didn't want to speak for the players when asked if Jerry Jones' strong message is the reason none of his players have defied him.
"I was always brought up when you work for somebody and they're the boss, you play by their rules," Stephen Jones said.
Trump says NFL players who kneel for anthem shouldn't play – or be paid
Jones, who drew praise from President Donald Trump when he said last year that he would bench players, said Trump's continuing involvement in the anthem issue is "problematic" for the league.
Trump weighed in again after news of the Dolphins' policy broke, tweeting "The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand," a reference to Roger Goodell.
"His interest in what we're doing is problematic from my chair and I would say, in general, in the owner's chairs," Jerry Jones said. "And unprecedented if you really think about it. But like the very game itself, that's the way it is and we'll deal with it. But, yes, everybody would like for it to go away."
Unlike other sports organizations, the Cowboys haven't distanced themselves from Papa John's after founder and CEO John Schnatter was ousted over a racial slur.
Schnatter was already under fire for suggesting last year that the pizza company's sluggish sales were a result of the controversy surrounding the anthem.
Jerry Jones, who has had a close relationship with Schnatter, said the Cowboys couldn't cut ties with the company because of an ownership stake in Papa John's stores. Stephen Jones said the team was linked to 50 stores in the Dallas area.
"I regret that for John," Jerry Jones said. "But at the end of the day we've got too many people, too many customers, too many people that we just need to do as good as we can do under the circumstances."

Trailer Face-Off! LOL vs. Girl in Progress
By Alexandria Symonds
Welcome to Thursday Trailer Face-Off, a feature in which we cast a critical eye on two similar upcoming film releases, pitting them against each other across a variety of categories to determine which is most deserving of your two hours. This week: LOL vs. Girl in Progress, two films about teenaged girls' rebellion and the moms they love to disdain.
PremiseLOL concerns a girl named Lola (Miley Cyrus), whose teen years are a veritable breakfast buffet of house parties, kissing dudes, IMing, journal-writing, and exotic foreign vacations. She's angsty ("It's good to love someone so much it hurts. I don't know how people survive this," she journals in voiceover, triggering the gag reflexes of non-teenagers everywhere), and she makes her mom, Anne (Demi Moore) so aggravated that Anne goes to her mom (Marlo Thomas) for comfort. Girl in Progress is also about a teenager and her mom: Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) and Grace (Eva Mendes), respectively. Ansiedad's learning about coming-of-age stories in school, but Grace is the one who needs to grow up; she doesn't even have a high school degree, and she's sleeping with a married man. Sick of taking care of her messed-up mom, Ansiedad decides she wants to skip adolescence altogether, only to learn it's not that easy! Girl in Progress lays it on a little thick with the bildungsroman stuff—but at least it seems to have a discernible plot, and a teenaged character who earns at least a little sympathy. Advantage: Girl in Progress
Cast Besides Mendes (whose character is as much the star of the film as her daughter, if not more), Girl in Progress boasts Matthew Modine as the married man whose house Grace cleans, with whom she's having an affair, as well as Patricia Arquette as Anciedad's teacher. Respectable talent, but Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore are bigger stars than Ramirez and Mendes; and LOL also features Twilight's Ashley Greene, Hung's Thomas Jane, and Gina Gershon. Advantage: LOL Teenage Rebellion In LOL, Lola drinks, kisses boys, trashes her house, and gets a bad report card—forcing her mom to exclaim, "A B in math, a C in history, a D in biology?!," her neck getting veinier and veinier. And then she goes to Paris, for reasons that remain completely opaque. "She's at that special age," the trailer's voiceover helpfully asserts. It's no more or less heavy-handed than Girl in Progress' trailer, in which Grace asks her daughter, "Why are you being so impossible?!" and receives "I'm a teen!" in response. Ansiedad's acts of rebellion are pretty comparable to Lola's: she decapitates her teddy bears, disses her mom, and tries to run away from home. But she also cleans up after Grace, even hanging up her mom's shoes when she's passed out facedown on her bed. Because Ansiedad's frustration seems a little more warranted than Lola's—who just seems obnoxious—we'll give her the win. Advantage: Girl in Progress
School Employee Wisdom "A coming-of-age story is the story of a young person's inner change from child to adult," Patricia Arquette's Girl in Progress teacher character explains, in earnest, in what may be the most egregious recent example of the "everything-movie-characters-read-in-class-is-uncannily-relevant-to-their-lives" trope. She seems to really care about her students or whatever, but we really prefer Girl in Progress' school administrator, who delivers what may be the trailer's only funny joke: "This is as much as I laugh," she says wearily before Lola and her paramour can explain why they're late to school. Advantage: Girl in Progress
Director LOL director Lisa Azuelos has been a director since 1995, but LOL is only her fourth feature—the other three are Ainsi soient-elles, and Hey Good Looking!, and a 2008 French version of this same film, this one called LOL (Laughing Out Loud) ®, which, as far as we're concerned, shouldn't count (even if she did win a Jury Prize at the Monte-Carlo Film Festival for it). Girl in Progress director Patricia Riggen, on the other hand, has seven titles under her belt, including a Michael Caine/Shirley MacLaine vehicle due out next year. She also won a ton of awards, including a Student Academy Award, for her short The Cornfield. Advantage: Girl in Progress
The Verdict We're pretty wary about both of these movies, to be honest—the schlock potential in both cases is high. But we're so immediately, viscerally turned off by the title character in LOL—and so unconvinced that Demi Moore, with her "It looks really bad. You're grounded!," can save it—that it's really no contest. Maybe Girl in Progress will have something interesting to say about how it's never too late to grow up, or whatever. Winner: Girl in Progress

Xasa stands by her comments made after Willemse walk-out
Minister says she is waiting for all facts to be established.

Minister of Sport and Rereation, Tokozile Xasa has stood by the comments she made in the aftermath of the dramatic on-air walk-out staged by Supersport analyst, Ashwin Willemse on Saturday.
The former Bok sparked great debate, when after apparent unhappiness with colleagues, Naas Botha and Nick Mallett, abandoned the set during a live broadcast.
This not before an impassioned monologue where he stated that he was labelled a "quota" during his playing days, and will not be undermined by the duo, who played during "a segregated era".
This prompted a response from Xasa who, in a heavily worded statement, called on the pay-channel to suspend the pair.

"The continued appearance of Mallet and Botha will be seen as an endorsement of their alleged racist behaviour," her statement read.
Supersport held talks with the trio on Monday, and offered an update on proceedings, without divulging the actual cause of the incident.
However, according to MultiChoice CEO Calvin Mawela, an investigation into the matter found that there was no racist behaviour involved. He also added that the trio will continue working together.
Ahead of her department's budget speech on Tuesday, Xasa said she would not retract her comments as not all facts are out in the open yet.
"My statement still stands," she said.
The three men at the centre of the controversy have since broken their silence about Saturday night's events, with Willemse issuing a brief statement praising the process undertaken by Supersport, as he was afforded the opportunity to air out his views.
This was echoed by both his colleagues, with former Bok coach, Mallett acknowledging that there were indeed issues that needed to be resolved, while Botha was confident that they will eventually come to a resolution.

Calvino and the Catacoustic – Nov. 5th – Gilman 479 – 5.15 PM
Calvino and the Catacoustic: An 'Echo-logical' Reading Let us consider Calvino's Invisible Cities as a sound that has produced a vast number of echoes in the over 50 years since its publication, from studiopluz's architectural installations of lit glass (above) to Chris Cerrone's Pulitzer-nominated opera of the novel. Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe referred to the way that thinkers and artists are often haunted by an earlier voice as an example of the "catacoustic," the science of reflected sound — in this talk, Professor Rushing explores how we might think expand Lacoue-Labarthe's idea of the catacoustic and elaborate a model of artistic and cultural influences that is both non-Oedipal and non-visual. Such a model offers another advantage, particularly suited to the political value of Calvino's novel: reverberation always delineates a space, both its abstract architectural form as well as its concrete materiality, analogous to the distinction Adriana Cavarero — again, using Calvino — draws between speech and the voice, suggesting that the space opened up by Calvino is not merely political, but ecological, or even 'echo-logical.'
Robert A. Rushing is Professor of Italian and Comparative Literature at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he also holds affiliate appointments in Media and Cinema Studies and the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory. He is the author of Resisting Arrest: Detective Fiction and Popular Culture (Other Press, 2007) and Descended from Hercules: Biopolitics and the Muscled Male Body on Screen (Indiana University Press, 2016), which won the 2016 American Association for Italian Studies Best Book Prize (Film/Media). He is co-editor of two volumes on North American television: Mad Men, Mad World: Sex, Politics, Style, and the 1960s (Duke University Press, 2011) and Orphan Black: Performance, Gender, Biopolitics (Intellect, 2018). He has published widely on Italian cinema, especially popular genres, as well as literature from Ovid to Calvino.


Evolution Of A Primate !
PBL #1: Evolve a Primate!
Geographic Distribution: Crescens ignis are native to regions in the heart of the Amazon's tropical rainforests. They live in highly arboreal where there are seasonal changes in rainfall and temperatures. According to Fragaszy (1950), with such a highly arboreal area these monkeys are able to "use all levels from the canopy to the understory, going to the ground to drink, forage or travel" (p. 1). These "New World Monkeys" are part of the Creschini subfamily and are closest related to their ancestors, the White-fronted Capuchins, or Cebus albifrons.
Physical Description: Fire Crescents are smaller primates that range in size between 7-11 lbs. Their name comes from their long and soft dark red-orange fur and a black spot on top of their heads in the shape of a rear-facing crescent. The Crescens ignis have a lighter orange belly that extends to the face with large forward-facing eyes and flat noses. Their heads and brains are large for their body and the ears are small, short and round. Sexual dimorphism occurs in this species where the males are bigger than the females ("Animal Diversity Web," 2001). The males also have longer manes and slightly brighter colors. Crescens ignis have a long, slender bodies and limbs that are also exceptionally strong for jumping throughout the canopy and escaping predation.


HI, I would like some information to apply for a M type, I am a secretary, and the visitors live in Patagonia, so my question is: is the procedure personally or can I go and start the process by my self? please i need information asap thank you!
Luciana, you can submit your application on your own. Or you may ask your friends or families to submit it on your behalf.
Asked by Jorge from U.S.A.


I submitted a non-fiction history story to Highlights and when it was turned down they recommended I read back issue to see their style. I have, of course, read many back issues. I went back and re-read them, but I don't see where I'm missing the mark on non-fiction style.
I now have another non-fiction history/holiday piece I'd like to submit, but I'm still left wondering if I'm missing something about the style they desire.
Keep trying. And good luck.
Barring that (since I know it's not always possible), I'd recommend exactly what Vijaya did in her post. Keep trying, making sure your focus is tight and as personal as possible. They like that "human angle" that immediately allows kids to identify. They're big on primary sources as opposed to secondary, so the more of those you have the better. The bibliography is super important if it's a history piece, because Carolyn Yoder is a stickler for strong research. For holiday pieces, the more culturally oriented the better--they love pieces that introduce kids to different cultures while pointing out similarities between all people, everywhere.
Highlights is undoubtedly a hard market to break into, but their high standards are what make their product quality, and I applaud you for being wise enough to want that credit on your resume!
The bibliography is super important if it's a history piece, because Carolyn Yoder is a stickler for strong research.
I've sold a couple of NF history pieces to them. They also prefer "slice-of-life", anecdotal pieces rather than sweeping overall views. If it's science-related, be sure it illustrates how kids can use the scientific method to discover their world rather than just "telling" them something interesting.
Good luck. I agree--keep trying!
They like their historical with a strong focus, preferably telling the history through the people. And it's got to have quotes, lots of quotes. And still be 800 words or less. I recently sold them a piece on the Peary Expedition to the North Pole. I focused on the people and what the expedition faced physically with lots of quotes from Matthew Henson since he wrote about the sensory details of the experience and I knew Highlights generally liked that kind of thing-- putting the reader right into the moment.
So -- tight focus with human slant, tell the event through the people, lots of quotes.
Thanks so much for the replies and advice. I think I have a better sense of what they want now! I'll keep plugging away!


"He was reportedly so impressed with her, that he declared: The two most interesting characters of the 19th century are Napoleon and Helen Keller."
"In 1915, she had founded the Helen Keller International (HKI) organization which researches vision, health and nutrition."
"Who's a suffragist?" asked Isha.
"Sometimes, I think it was so with good reason." He winked at her.
She pretended to have been affronted, then laughed and pulled his hair sharply. The kids laughed too.
"And who's a pacifist, Pa?" asked Josh.
Rosh looked at them, half expecting more questions. But there were none. They were all listening attentively.

The mystery behind the person who owned a fashion forward pigeon that was rescued recently has been solved.
A bird rescue center in Peoria, Arizona, took care of the feathered guest whose brightly colored vest caused many on the internet to wonder where exactly the pigeon lived and who owned it.
The Arizona Republic reported someone found the fine-feathered friend near an intersection last week and brought it to the rescue center. The organization posted a picture of the bird and the vest to Facebook.
This week the owner of the bird came forward to shed light on its mysterious fashion choices. According to the owner, the bird is actually named Olive and loves bling.
"Olive took off the bow tie and handkerchief on her flight suit diaper the first day she wore it… so mama replaced them with Swarovski crystals," the owners write.
Kieran said it's not uncommon for people to keep pigeons as pets.

My Hero Academia: Who are Eri's parents?
December 12, 2022 by Sarah Kidder
The reason why Eri has no family in My Hero Academia is revealed.
Eri is one of those mysterious characters, but at the same time becomes very loved by fans, and it is that this tender girl has had a terrifying and sad past. From what has been shown in the plot, Eri has always been sought after by her power, until finally Izuku Midoriya and the other heroes managed to rescue her to adopt her and make him improve both physically and emotionally.
While it is already known that Eri is a very shy, quiet and distrustful girl, everything has a reason and you don't have to be an expert to know that he is someone who has gone through many hard things in his life. In fact, not much is known about her Well, only part of the experiments that were carried out on him and the objective that the villains have if they manage to seize his quirk have been shown. One of the unknowns of this character are his parentsbut in the following information we are going to explain why there is so little information about his family.
The 9 Most Powerful Characters In My Hero Academia
Where is Eri's family in My Hero Academia?
Eri has a dark past that haunts her in My Hero Academia.
The truth is that Eri is an orphaned 7-year-old girl, and that is when his powers began to manifest, her mother thought she was cursed because the quirk she had was so strange and dangerous that it didn't even resemble her parents'. Therefore, her mother left her with her father and left without a trace, although later, when Eri activated the quirk without knowing about her, she made her father disappear, thus staying with her grandfather. , the former leader of the Shie Hassaikai group who called himself "El Jefe" (his real name is unknown).
The Chief was in charge of raise Chisaki Kai, aka Overhaul, and also took care of Eri. Due to the girl's strange power, The Chief asked Overhaul to take it upon himself to understand how the ability worked, as it was quite similar to his, but they realized they were very different gifts. Eri has "Rewind", a power that allows her to do that the bodies of living beings regress their state of time or are restored in various ways. In other words, it can make a 40-year-old person become a 20-year-old, and it can even make them go as far back. to the point where it ceases to exist.
Overhaul wanted to experiment with that quirk to use it for the benefit of the pool. However, El Jefe did not allow that to happen because she was his granddaughter and that would be something inhuman. Unfortunately, when the organization's leader falls into a coma, Overhaul has to take care of Shie Hassaikai and takes Eri as adoptive daughter to carry out his macabre plans.
Eri's new family
Eri smiles for the first time at the My Hero Academia UA Academy festival
With Eri's blood and suffering, Overhaul finally manages to fulfill his goal of create a drug that destroys gifts. The first tests were temporary, but he was able to generate up to 5 that permanently removed gifts.
The good thing is that the heroes arrived in time for face Overhaul and free her. In this way, Eri would be adopted by the heroes, who would be in charge of protecting her and teaching her the good side of life after have suffered so much psychologically.
This is when Eri gets a new family, and considering the magnitude of his powerthis girl is likely to be the key to future wars between heroes and villainsand even to stop All For One once and for all.

Philosophy: Biographies
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Swiss theologian, philosopher, and poet: b. Zurich, Nov. 15, 1741; d. there, Jan. 2, 1801. He attended schools in his native town and began Protestant theology in 1759. As early as 1763, however, he was turning from the enlightenment's rationalistic conception of religion to the ideas of the Sturm und Drang period. He became parson at the church of St. Peter, Zurich, in 1786. A writer of deep feeling and vivid imagination, he won wide fame by his religious writing, his Schweizerlieder (1767), and especially his four-volume Physiognomische Fragmente zur Beförderung der Menschenkenntnis und Menschenliebe (1775–78), in which he attempted to analyze the character of man through an intuitive interpretation of bodily structure. This occasioned his reputation throughout Europe and led to extensive correspondence with great contemporaries such as goethe, Johann herder, and Johann hamann. Lavater first sympathized with the French Revolution but later protested its excesses. Ironically, he died of wounds sustained while acting as stretcher-bearer at the battle of Zurich (Nov. 26, 1800).
Lavater's belief in Christ was manifested in an undogmatic and emotional piety, as is evident in Christliche Lieder (1776–80), the four-volume Aussichten in die Ewigkeit (1768–78), and the four-volume Pontius Pilatus oder die Bibel im Kleinen (1782–85). Yet his attempt to confirm by logic his shakily based convictions led to tensions between his religious experience and theology and his yearning for a constant, earthly manifestation of God, hence his uncritical interest in mesmerism and spiritism and his passion for detecting miracles. He rebutted atheism with untiring clerical fervor; he was generally tolerant of Catholics, and his friendship with Bp. J. M. sailer led some to believe that he was a crypto-Catholic.

blushing is reddening of the skin of the face and, in some people, the neck, due to an involuntary rush of blood when vessels dilate under the influence of the autonomic nervous system. Blushing usually accompanies embarrassment or self-consciousness. The occurrence of blushing has the effect of revealing feelings of states such as guilt, shame, sexual awareness, or arousal.
One of the acknowledged functions of make-up, in both men and women, was to conceal the tell-tale blush. However, in the Victorian era cosmetics were generally eschewed. The strict Victorian code of morality emphasized honesty, and the blushing of an open and sincere face became socially acceptable.
In his book Physiognomische Fragmente (1775–8), Johann Caspar Lavater, one of the most influential proponents of physiognomy, advocated the division and arrangement of the passions, according to their gradation. Lavater purported that each passion, every emotion of the individual, visually altered the lines and appearance of the face in a particular manner, by co-operation of the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, and that observers could 'read' the feelings and mental state from the face of a subject. The most obvious example of this was blushing. Lavater translated his theories into practical advice for artists. Painters, in particular, were encouraged to understand the inner workings of the human body, including the causes of colouring of the cheeks. Physiognomy advocated that individuals illuminated themselves from inside out, and were reflected in how others saw them.

The ruins at the city of Tyre in modern day Lebanon.
About the year 2010 a father asked me to speak to his son who was having difficulty believing that there was a God. My answer was very simple. The Bible.
The Bible claims to be the words of the Living God and when this is shown to be true then there must be a God who created all things to whom we must give account for our behaviour. If the God of the Bible is the Living God then He must be omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. Since He is a loving God and wants all men to be saved from sin, we would expect that He would give us good reasons to believe that "He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).
all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt (Genesis 13:10).
Sodom's prosperity could be compared with that of Egypt.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good (Ezekiel 16:49-50).
The idyllic conditions in the plain of Jordan were likened to the garden of the Lord (Eden) and they had given the people much free time to indulge in the pleasures of life; they lost their good hard working ethic and and became arrogant so much so, that they boldly and unashamedly practiced immoral homosexual behaviour.
God's first response was to send armies led by four kings from Mesapotamia to fight against Sodom and her associates. At first, these marauders passed by on the east of the cities of the plain travelling south then they turned west across to Kedesh in the Negev and finally swung north to approach Sodom and her cities from the south.
The King of Sodom rallied his troops and went south to meet the invading army in the Valley of Siddim where a battle was fought and the armies of Sodom was soundly defeated; many were taken captive and the cities of the plain spoiled.
Among those taken captive was Abraham's nephew, Lot, and soon they were on their way home to live a life of slavery when Abraham armed his 318 servants and caught the marauders near Dan, attacking them at night and then pursuing them as far as Damascus.
God was giving Sodom a solemn warning and an opportunity to amend their ways in true repentance but to no avail. The rescue of the men of Sodom indicates the mercy of God for He delights in mercy and is longsuffering "not willing (desirous) that any should perish" but that all should come to repentance.
Years passed and Sodom showed no signs of repentance in spite of the mercy extended by God to her and so God sent 2 angels to Sodom to rescue Lot before His fiery judgment fell on all the cities of the plain. So great was this judgment that the entire region sank more than 1,200 feet to become the lowest place on the face of the globe. The fire that went up from the plain of Jordan was witnessed by Abraham from the mountain near Hebron and he described the smoke "as the smoke of a furnace" (Genesis 19:28). God rained "brimstone and fire" upon those wicked cities and nobody but Lot and his daughters escaped.
The evidence is in the Dead Sea today and the entire topography of the Jordan valley is testimony to the destruction of Sodom. The Dead Sea is 1,200 feet below sea level and is the lowest point on earth. The plain of Jordan that was formerly like "the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt" (Genesis 13:10) is now a sea that is so toxic that no life can survive in it and if humans swallow any quantity of it they would die. The topography of the Jordan valley is stark evidence that the Biblical record is true and that there is a God in heaven.
When Babylon was being built by wicked Nimrod, Asshur from the Godly line of Shem left the land of Shinar and built Nineveh evidently in protest. Modern versions have loosely translated Genesis 10:11 to accommodate the 1762 archeologist, Carsten Niebuhr who renamed the city of Calah as Nimrud because he mistakenly thought that Nimrod built Nineveh and the surrounding cities.
All ancient records identified the city as Calah, and the Greek Septuagint, the Book of Jubilees, the historian Josephus and the Geneva Bible all agree with the King James Bible translation which states that "out of that land (Shinar) went forth Asshur (from the line of Shem) and built Nineveh…" and her sister cities. The Encyclopedia Wikipedia also agrees.
Nineveh had a Godly beginning but became violent and wicked about 800BC when God sent Jonah to warn them to repent or be judged within 40 days. The city hearkened to Jonah, returned to the Lord in true repentance, and God mercifully spared the city.
About 80 years later the Assyrian army was sent by the Lord to punish the northern kingdom of Israel to take the ten tribes away captive into the land of the Medes. Flush with the victory over Samaria the next King of Assyria, Sennacherib, came just a few years later, into the land of Judah and his agent, Rabshakah stood outside the walls of Jerusalem and mocked the God of Israel. The angel of the Lord slew 185,000 Assyrians in one night.
There is one come out of thee (Nineveh), that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor… the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile (Nahum 1:11-15).
In 612BC the Babylonian armies under Nebuchadnezzar and the armies of the Medes came against Nineveh and the impregnable city was destroyed after flooding had caused much of the wall along the Tigris River to collapse. The king burned the palace down over himself exactly as the prophet Nahum had foretold. So complete was the destruction of Nineveh that 270 years later, Alexander the Great marched over the site and did not know that Nineveh was under his feet.
Today Nineveh has been excavated and the royal palace with the great Assyrian library of Ashurbanipal has yielded tens of thousands of documents in clay tablets and in stone stela which are on display in museums around the world.
Samaria was the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel and in the days of Jeroboam they turned to idolatry, worshipping two golden calves.
These tribes were part of the nation of Israel that God brought out of Egypt and to whom God had given His law. Yet in the days of Rehoboam the son of Solomon, Jeroboam set up the golden calves that led the ten northern tribes into idolatry.
Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof (Micah 1:6).
God waited 200 years before He sent the Assyrians under Shalmanezar and Sargon to take Samaria and today Samaria is a heap, a Tell, visible to all who pass by.
Babylon was built by Nimrod as a centre of idolatry and God confused the languages of all who worked on the Tower of Babel. Throughout the centuries Babylon was the mother of idolatry and the gods of Babylon were worshipped under different names by many nations.
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies (Jeremiah 51:9).
God gave Babylon great victories over Assyria, Elam and Egypt besides many smaller nations and the Babylonian Empire was the first to have universal control.. God called Nebuchadnezzar "My servant" for executing Divine judgment against the nations for their wickedness and He gave him all the riches of Egypt in 570BC for the service he rendered to God against Tyre (Ezekiel 28:18-19). King Nebuchadnezzar finally professed faith in the Living God at the end of his reign yet 30 years later the city of Babylon under Belshazzar continued in sin and drank wine to heathen gods using the golden vessels from the Temple of God in Jerusalem.
God said that "Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant" (Jeremiah 51:37) and today Babylon is an archeological site with no inhabitant. The treasures from Babylon may be found all over the world in Museums and libraries.
So serious was Babylon's sin that God said the city would be destroyed and never be rebuilt; it would be uninhabited like Sodom. The initial overthrow of Babylon by the Medes and Persians was foretold and about 170 years beforehand, Cyrus was named by Isaiah as the Persian King that would conquer the city (Isaiah 44:28 and 45:1). The history of Babylon in the Bible is proof that the God of the Bible is the only Living God.
Tyre and her sister city Sidon were judged by the Lord but there was a time when Tyre knew the Lord. Hiram King of Tyre was "ever a lover of David" (1 Kings 5:1) and rejoiced that Solomon would build the Temple saying, "Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people" (1 Kings 5:7). Hiram assisted Solomon in building the Temple at Jerusalem (1028BC) yet Ezekiel foretold Tyre's destruction in two stages. Tyre had the opportunity to follow the Lord but turned away and became the centre of Satan's throne as described in Ezekiel 28:11-19. The King of Tyre was actually possessed by Satan (Ezekiel 28:11-19).
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD (Ezekiel 26:4-5).
Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Tyre's coastal city after a 13-year siege beginning in the 7th year of his reign concluding in 586BC. Alexander the Great destroyed the Island city in 332BC. He scrapped the rock bare and pushed the remains of the coastal city into the sea to make a causeway to the island city which he conquered and destroyed. Tyre is another example of the mercy and longsuffering of God but also of His righteous judgment.
Jerusalem was a blessed city where God placed His name. The Temple was built there and sacrifices offered daily to the Lord. No city was more privileged than Jerusalem yet its destruction took place, first in the time of Nebuchadnezzar in 586BC and again in AD70 and AD135. The Palestinian covenant promised that the Jews would be judged and scattered if they disobeyed the Lord. In the time of Jeremiah, Nebuchadnezzar came and took Israel captive. Jerusalem was left in ruins for 140 years until Nehemiah returned and began to rebuild in 445BC. It was rebuilt in 49 years according to Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:25).
In AD 70 the Romans under Titus destroyed the Temple but the Jews revolted again in the reign of Emperor Hadrian (132 – 135 AD) and many Jews returned to the land to fight against the Romans. Over half a million Jews perished and the Roman commander Turnus Rufus plowed the site of the Temple in Jerusalem and the surrounding area in 135 AD in fulfilment of Micah's prophecy: "Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest." (Micah 3:12).
Jeremiah quoted Micah's prophecy (Jeremiah 26:18) about 115 years later as he faced the Babylonian invasion but it was not filfilled until the Roman invasion by Hadrian who established a Roman colony on the site of the destroyed city of Jerusalem calling it Aelia Capitolina because he dedicated the city to Jupiter Capitolinus.
In the Grecian era Antiochus Epiphanes had placed an image of Zeus in the Temple and this sparked the Maccabean Wars concluding with the cleansing of the Temple which is remembered each year at the Feast of Dedication (in 2018 it was from 2 Dec. to 10 Dec.). The Romans regarded Jupiter as the equivalent of the Greek Zeus.
Hadrian placed his soldiers in Aelia Capitolina and Jews were forbidden to enter the city except on one day each year to commemorate the destruction of the Temple – Tisha B'av on the 9th of the month Av. On this day the Jews fast and read the Book of Lamentations. In 2018 it fell on 9th August.
Constantine (4th C) built Christian churches in Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchure was built over the site of what was thought to be Christ's Tomb but Gordon's Calvary is the real location.
The Twelve Spies sent by Moses to observe the land of Canaan returned from their mission. Only two of the spies, Joshua and Caleb, brought a positive report, while the others spoke disparagingly about the land. The majority report caused the Children of Israel to cry, panic and despair of ever entering the "Promised Land". For this, they were punished by God that their generation would not enter the land. The midrash quotes God as saying about this event, "You cried before me pointlessly, I will fix for you [this day as a day of] crying for the generations", alluding to the future misfortunes which occurred on the same date.
The First Temple built by King Solomon was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BCE, and the population of the Kingdom of Judah was sent into the Babylonian exile. The First Temple's destruction began on the 7th of Av (2 Kings 25:8) and continued until the 10th (Jeremiah 52:12). According to the Talmud, the actual destruction of the Temple began on the Ninth of Av, and it continued to burn throughout the Tenth of Av.
The Second Temple built by Ezra and Nehemiah was destroyed by the Romans in 70AD scattering the people of Judea and commencing the Jewish exile from the Holy Land that continues to this day.
The Romans subsequently crushed Bar Kokhba's revolt and destroyed the city of Betar, killing over 500,000 Jewish civilians (approximately 580,000) on August 4, 135 AD.
Quite apart from many other evidences that there is a God in heaven who created the world and to whom we must answer, these cities stand out in history as undeniable evidence of an omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient God who knows the future and has given us His Word to record the prophecies. The Bible therefore is proof that our God is the only living God.
The message of these cities is consistent. In every case they had opportunity to be blessed but when they persisted in evil they came under the foretold judgments.
Sodom was rescued by Godly Abraham before it was judged; Samaria had the testimony of Elijah and 850 false prophets were slain before God sent the Assyrians to destroy the city; Nineveh was spared in Jonah's day before it was destroyed; Babylon had the testimony of Daniel and Ezekiel and Nebuchadnezzar turned to the Lord before Belshazzar was slain and the city conquered; Tyre was involved in the building of the Temple at Jerusalem and came under David's testimony before it was ruled by Satan and was destroyed; Jerusalem had three opportunities to make good but was finally destroyed exactly as foretold. Because it is the place where God has put His name we know it will be the focal point of events in the last days and there will be a New Jerusalem in which we will dwell for all eternity.


The Fédération Equestre Internationale is looking into allegations regarding fake events and the duplication of results at FEI endurance events in the United Arab Emirates.
Last week The Telegraph reported claims of two potential phony races held on Dec. 23 and Jan. 21. Since then another 10 races have been added to the list of suspicious results. The results—posted on the FEI website—were identical to data received from previous races. The races in question were late additions to the FEI calendar and saw higher than average completion rates.
By fabricating results, the affected parties could ensure qualification for bigger races and create the illusion that the horses were more experienced and competitive.
An FEI spokeswoman confirmed that the FEI has forwarded the information regarding the fake races and results to the Equestrian Community Integrity Unit for full investigation.
This allegation comes on the heels of horse switching, doping and horse cruelty scandals coming out of the Middle East region. New rules for endurance were implemented on Aug. 1 with these welfare transgressions in mind. However, the controversy surrounding the sport continues after the new FEI executive board met in late February and chose to remove the two remaining endurance rides of the 2014-2015 winter season in the UAE from the calendar as an "emergency measure" following ongoing horse welfare concerns.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a model of the Islamic sovereign wealth funds (ISWFs) based on Islamic finance principles to modify the precarious image of SWFs from Muslim countries. The Shariah laws are the cardinal direction for this study. Design/methodology/approach – The authors applied a qualitative research technique that consists of three approaches: exploratory case study approach to critically examine and rank the existing status of SWFs; descriptive analysis; and content analysis to present a model of ISWFs in comparison of conventional SWFs. Findings – The authors propose a model of the "Islamic Sovereign Wealth Funds" based on four key pillars: the major Shariah principles; the Islamic corporate governance framework; the Islamic transparency and disclosure framework; and the Islamic corporate social responsibility framework. Furthermore, the authors argue that the potential effect of the ISWFs on Islamic finance and economy will be positive. Research limitations/implications – The model is an initial work and idea to convert SWFs from Muslim countries into ISWFs, which required an in-depth policy review by governments. Practical implications – The findings of the paper are useful for policymakers and governments of the Muslim countries to overcome the issues and criticism on SWFs by converting them in ISWFs. Originality/value – This paper contributes to the literature related to Islamic finance and sovereign wealth fund by presenting a first model of ISWFs for Muslim countries.
