Underground gay group emerges, shaking evangelical Christian college
If you plan on sending your young adult to Biola University, (a private Christian University) or going there yourself, know that the campus is facing a new liberality. Students and employees who are of alternative sexual persuasions, are making a public statement about their proclivities. The school does not plan on changing it's policy but is unable to address the issue head on because the members of the group are seemingly still anonymous.
With debate raging over the group and its aims, Biola President Barry Corey told students that the school has no intention of changing its policy to "fit increasingly accepted ethical or moral norms. In particular, we don't need to modernize or bend our biblically based position on sexual ethics." ~ John Boxley and Ashley Bornancin, NBC News

Obama gives himself control of all communication systems in America — RT
An "executive order," that allows the president himself, without the permission of any other official, to shut down communication systems in America for security reasons or in a national emergency, was signed while you were recovering from the watermelon and hamburgers of July 4.
If it could have legitimately been signed on July 4, it probably would have been, but I understand there was a big INDEPENDENCE day celebration at the White House. Some independence…
As I previously stated, if you are relying on American news agencies… you are being hoodwinked. Get a laptop, carry it with you and as often as possible avail yourself to information on the internet before it gets shut down.
Join us at Pink Apron Regiment meetings so you can connect with people of like mind, who believe the bible. One day we may need each other in ways we have not imagined.
This is the time in history that American believers must wake up, use our brains, and stop expecting bad people to do good things for us just because we pray. Sometimes things are what they are, God' s hands are tied to the natural man's wilfulness. This includes our elected officials.
A most interesting and informative book is available on Romans 13, written by Tim Baldwin, JD., son of former Constitution Party presidential candidate, Chuck Baldwin. Find the book at Romans 13.
You will learn that it is scripturally wrong, as a believer, to submit to EVERYthing elected officials propose. You will also learn how to assess whether or not God expects your blind submission to evil dictates.
We can still work for a better country, but it starts in the home and with the family, as you will learn from Tim Baldwin. God ordained the family as the first government, and in turn, the government's job is to respond in ways that help support and respond to God's ordained method of order on the planet; the family.
US President Barack Obama quietly signed his name to an Executive Order on Friday, allowing the White House to control all private communications in the country in the name of national security. ~RT.com

VACCINES: The Deadly Cure 2 – NaturalNews.tv
Below is a video from Natural News.tv, with important information for young women who are facing vaccinations for their children at any age. The number of vaccinations children need, to attend the public school system, has risen from just six in the 50's, to about 14 recommended by the Centers for Disease Control in 2010! (This includes adolescents.)
The only common denominator amongst children with autism, is the vaccines they have been given. Autism is a one in 150 occurrence today, and one in six of all children who have been vaccinated have developmental disabilities, according to Dr. Mary Megson, a board certified pediatrician. (See video.)
Anywhere in the world, where the United States has shared our vaccination programs, the statistics are the same.
This is one more avenue in which the American people are trusting our medical authorities and government oversight, and getting irresponsible oversight in return. Share this video with every young mother you know. Natural News website is a great place for information regarding current trends in government overstepping, and oversight of your health issues.

"The Bitter Burnt Kernel at the Bottom…"
Popcorn tastes good, until the bitter burnt kernel is found at the bottom of the bag…
Our dear first lady gave a speech in late June to the First AME Church Conference in Nashville Tennessee to a primarily black American constituancy in which she encouraged the members to get out and vote, and to find others in their communities to do the same.
One can appreciate what she said, and there are many "applaud- able" thoughts she communicated to the group in her remarks. However, for those of us who have been making a point of reading between the lines and using other books and videos to understand our political system, things may not be what they appear.
This is a little excerpt of her comments from White House.gov
So I want you to talk to your friends and your family, your neighbors. Talk to them. Talk to folks in the beauty salons, the barbershops, the parking lot at church. Tell them what's happening on the city council and out in Washington. Let them know. Find that nephew who has never voted — get him registered. (Applause.) Start an email list or a Facebook group. Send people articles about issues you care about, and then call them to make sure they've read them.
And to anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better — no place better. (Applause.) Because ultimately, these are not just political issues — they are moral issues. They're issues that have to do with human dignity and human potential, and the future we want for our kids and our grandkids. And the work of inspiring and empowering folks, the work of lifting up families and communities — that has always been the work of the AME Church. (Applause.) That's what you all do best.
I really like the first lady and I think she is well-intentioned. The problem… as usual, is the "agenda." It's roots can be found in "Faith Undone," a book by Roger Oakland; which describes the establishment of the "Emergent Church," now referred to most commonly as the "Church Growth Movement," started in the early 90's.
The establishment of the Leadership Network was a precursor to the Emergent Movement and by it's creation determined that believers with a social justice agenda would marry themselves with the social change agenda of those in politics who are pushing a socialist agenda. Worst of all, they are using/used the bible in misinterpreted form to do it.( See articles on this site about Rick Warren, Tony Blair and the Emergent Church.) Google (or search on this site) the wayward thoughts of Rob Bell or Tony Campolo (to name only two) and you will see evidence of the agenda in the church.
Why are the first lady's comments so devastating to the black community and to America in general? It is a good thing that she is encouraging the vote, but for what and who? Take a look at the government funded statistics for abortion in our black communities and you will find a blatant government established and funded genocide taking place. Since Roe v. Wade was passed, abortion in black communities has been funded and encouraged by tax dollars. Most abortion mills are located in or near black communities. Many more black babies are aborted each year than any other race in this country.
Going along with the social justice agenda in the church is unBiblical as well as criminal in my opinion. It is like a container of popcorn in a dark theater… when you get to the last, there is a terrible tasting, burnt kernel, and the after -taste is bitter and impossible to dilute.
When Lyndon Johnson was president, he signed documents that would help black women with children financially, if the women would state that there was no father in the home, thus encouraging women to live without this God ordained completion of the family.
"The Negro cannot win … if he is willing to sell the future of his children for his personal and immediate comfort and safety." — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ("The Living King", Ebony, Vol. 41, No. 3, January 1986, Page 63.) ~From Issues for Life Foundation website.
We must wake our friends and neighbors to this insincere move to get the black vote while murdering their beautiful children and damaging their families in the process. This no mistake or oversight. With the establishment of the various social programs in the black community, the government has taken away not only the dignity of the black family, but their incentive to be free. This is a veiled form of slavery. But don't take my word for it. Do your own homework.
I urge you to sign up for the "Conflict of Interest" newsletter and support Rev. Walter B. Hoye II; a black preacher and anti-abortion activist based in Oakland, California, who is working diligently to get the word out that what you see is not what you are getting in the black community.
There is a film soon to be released that is a must see for every American, and particularly encouraging to black Americans who are waking up to the truth of slavery in the 21st century. "Runaway Slave" will be in theaters July 27. I have seen the film and I encourage you not to miss it. Go as a group, support this film in your churches and small groups. You will learn what Reverend C.L Bryant has discovered through prayer and obedience, and it will change the way you see the black community and freedom in America. The film is for everyone.

The Dears ist eine kanadische Indie-Rockband. Sie wurde 1995 in Montreal gegründet.

Geschichte
Treibende Kraft hinter der Band ist der Sänger Murray Lightburn. Lightburn umgibt der Ruf eines Perfektionisten. Dies führte zu zahlreichen Umbesetzungen innerhalb der Band. Inzwischen ist er das einzig verbliebene Gründungsmitglied. In der aktuellen Besetzung spielen neben Lightburn noch Rob Benvie, George Donoso, Valerie Jodoin-Keaton, Martin Pelland und Natalia Yanchak bei The Dears.

Der Stil der Band ist stark europäisch beeinflusst und erinnert an Aufnahmen von The Smiths, Serge Gainsbourg und Joy Division.

Das Debütalbum der Band End of a Hollywood Bedtime Story erschien 2000. In den Jahren 2001 und 2002 folgten die EPs Orchestral Pop-Noir Romantique und Protest, sowie eine Zusammenstellung bis dahin unveröffentlichter Songs.

2004 erschien das zweite Studioalbum der Band. Mit der Singleauskoppelung Lost in the Plot erreichten The Dears im November 2004 mit Platz 49 erstmals die britischen Singlecharts. In den Independent Charts stieg die Single sogar auf Platz 4 ein.

Anonymous's return generated curiosity in the digital world. The cyberactivism group returned to "expose the crimes of the United States police." In addition, Ámbito comments that its intention is to "expose corruption in the Minneapolis Police and Trump's complicity in the Epstein case," all through different digital hacks.
Although almost nobody knows how this organization operates, the reality is that they almost always achieved what they set out to do. What nobody knows is that they are not the only ones dedicated to the world of hacking, so we decided to investigate and compile the most important hacking actions in recent years.
1. Hacking Adobe in 2013
In 2013, Adobe suffered a hack on its servers that led to the release of data from more than 2.9 million accounts. According to the information provided by the Hipertextual website, it was also possible to filter the "source code of 3 applications".
Among the private information that was obtained, the names, credit and debit card numbers, the expiration date or the password to access them, among others, appear . However, from the company they had ensured that this data was encrypted, so users were then asked to change their usernames and passwords.
2. Hacking Marriot in 2018
Another large-scale computer attack, which in this case affected this world-renowned hotel chain. Basically, the personal information of more than 500 million customers, who had stayed in the hotels, was accessed.
The website of El Confidencial mentioned that the company, at the time, had a service system to deal with each of the cases involved. Thus, after the theft of addresses, names and surnames, credit cards or travel data, the company's shares fell almost six points.

3. Hacking Facebook in 2019
Although from the company of Mark Zuckerberg they always mention that the privacy of their users is the most important thing, the reality is that this did not always happen. According to what the El País website highlights, more than 540 million data may have been exposed for a long time.
Basically, it was a data breach problem where all the information was accessible to any user, something that the UpGuard security company had detected. That is, the information was in massive databases hosted on Amazon AWS servers without any protection.
4. MyFitnessPal in 2018
Another violation to the confidentiality of the users, occurred in this case to this popular calorie tracking application, where, according to the El Sol de Argentina media website, it affected more than 150 million users on the planet.
The sports brand Under Armor, which integrated this application, had revealed that they suffered a hack that allowed an unauthorized person to access the information of these users, being able to see users and passwords.
5. Hacking Yahoo in 2013
Finally, we can find out about the biggest hacking case in history. In this case, we observe that in 2013 all the accounts that this company had were stolen, with truly alarming figures.
The Xataka page comments that "it was not only the 500 million profiles at the beginning, but later they went up to 1.5 billion accounts", although some people believe that it could have doubled. Basically, real names, users, passwords, conversations or personal information were accessed, so we now know that we must take care of our data.

Deforestation at worrying levels in Brazil's other major carbon sink
Last Active: Today
Jan 07, 2022, 01:16 am
The Amazon rainforest is Brazil's most famous imperiled carbon sink and biodiversity hotspot. But it's not the only one.
The Cerrado savanna is the most biodiverse savanna in the world, according to WWF. It's also an important carbon store, thanks to the "upside-down forest" of its extensive root system. But now, scientists are sounding the alarm as the Cerrado has experienced its highest deforestation rates since 2015.
"It's extremely worrying," University of Brasilia ecologist Mercedes Bustamante told Reuters.
Figures released by the Brazilian government on New Year's Eve revealed that deforestation and vegetation clearing on the grassland rose by eight percent between August 2020 and July 2021, to 8,531 square kilometers (approximately 3,294 square miles), or more than 10 times the size of New York City.
The savanna is home to small trees with extensive root systems. In fact, around 70 percent of the Cerrado's biomass is below ground, and it may store around 118 tons of carbon per acre, WWF said.
Like the Amazon rainforest, the Cerrado is largely being cleared for agriculture. Since the 1950s, it has lost about half of its native vegetation.
"The remaining 50% is under high pressure for conversion and is impacted by fires and drought," Bustamante told Unearthed in 2020. "It's not like we even have 50% left in good condition."
And, as with the Amazon, the situation has gotten worse under the leadership of right-wing Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who has prioritized economic development over environmental protection, Reuters reported.
"Deforestation is the most naked and raw indicator of the terrible environmental policy of this government," Amazon Environmental Research Institute science director Ane Alencar told Reuters.
Bustamante also criticized the government for releasing the figures on New Year's Eve.
The Cerrado extends for 200 million hectares, or the size of Germany, France, England, Italy, and Spain put together, according to Chain Reaction Research. It is home to 200 species of mammal, 860 species of birds, 180 species of reptiles, 150 species of amphibians, 1,200 species of fish, and 90 million species of insect, WWF said. It also is home to traditional and Indigenous communities, Unearthed reported.
Further, it's an important water source: six of Brazil's 12 major hydrological regions begin there, according to WWF.
A major driver of deforestation in the Cerrado is soya. Unearthed tied significant deforestation in the grassland from 2015 to 2020 to Cargill, which grows soy for chicken feed.
In 2017, environmental groups launched the Cerrado Manifesto to call on companies that sourced soy and meat from the region to act to protect it.
"This includes the adoption of effective policies and commitments to eliminate deforestation and conversion of native vegetation and disassociate their supply chains from recently converted areas," the signatories wrote.

Diana Blumenfeld
Born in Warsaw in 1906, Diana Blumenfeld was one of the most talented and beloved musicians of the Warsaw ghetto. Although she had formally studied piano, it was as a singer that she was most successful, and her beautiful alto voice inspired some of Warsaw's best songwriters to compose songs specifically for her.
In 1923, Blumenfeld married Yonas Turkov, who was on his way to becoming one of the most successful actors of the inter-war Yiddish theatre world. Once Blumenfeld was caught in the ghetto along with her husband, family and friends, she continued to sing, performing in cafes and in the ghetto theatre Femina on Leshno Street, singing the Yiddish 'Kulis' (Coolies), 'Di Broyt Farkoyfern' (The Bread Seller) and 'A Yid' (A Jew), among other songs. Such was Blumefeld's popularity, that Mordechai Gebirtig sent her his new songs with the plea that she spread them throughout the ghetto.
Along with her husband, she managed to escape the liquidation of the ghetto, and the couple was central to the immediate post-war reformation of Polish Jewish culture. The first event organised by the Association of Jewish Writers, Journalists and Actors, of which Turkov was the chairman, was a concert in December 1944. In the hall of the Lublin Conservatory, Blumenfeld's alto rang out with the Yiddish songs of a community that had been almost entirely destroyed by the Nazi genocide.
Blumenfeld also performed frequently on Polish radio in Lublin and Warsaw, touring Displaced Persons' camps in Germany and giving concerts for survivors. However, both she and her husband rapidly realised that the world of Eastern European Jewry no longer existed, and that they could no longer perform in what they perceived to be a mass graveyard. Blumenfeld and Turkov left Poland in 1945, and toured Europe before beginning an international career, performing and singing all over North and South America, as well as Israel. Diana Blumenfeld died in New York in 1961.

Als Hausruhe gilt die Störungsfreiheit und die Berücksichtigung des Ruhebedürfnisses der Bewohner eines Hauses.

Rechtliche Situation in Deutschland

Die Hausruhe ist laut einer Entscheidung des BGH (BGH V ZB 11/98)
 während der Zeiten von 13:00 bis 15:00 Uhr als Mittagsruhe,
 von 22:00 bis 07:00 Uhr als Nachtruhe
 an Sonntagen und Feiertagen
einzuhalten.

Die gesetzliche Regelung für die Mittagsruhe wurde in Deutschland jedoch aufgehoben. Für Städte und Gemeinden kann es im Einzelfall noch entsprechende örtliche Regelungen geben. Nach der Lärmschutzverordnung aus dem Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz (BImSchG) gibt es eine gesetzlich geregelte Nacht- bzw. Sonn- und Feiertagsruhe.

Hundegebell während der Ruhezeiten stellt nach § 1004 BGB eine Belastung dar, das OLG Brandenburg setzte ein Verbot für den Zeitraum von 22:00 bis 7:00 Uhr (Oberlandesgericht Brandenburg, Urteil vom 11. Januar 2007, AZ 5 U 152/05).

Bei der Ausübung des Klavierspiels ist die Nachtruhe an allen Tagen von 22.00 Uhr bis 7.00 Uhr einzuhalten (Landgericht Frankfurt am Main, Urteil vom 12. Oktober 1989, AZ 2/25 O 359/89).

Der Wohnungsmieter kann nach BGB § 862 Abs. 1 S. 2 von seinem Nachbarn verlangen, dass dieser lautes Stöhnen beim Sexualverkehr auf Zimmerlautstärke hält (Amtsgericht Warendorf, Urteil vom 19. August 1997, Az.: 5 C 414/97).

Bei gelegentlichen Feiern muss die Verhältnismäßigkeit des Lärms gewahrt bleiben (Oberlandesgericht Düsseldorf, Urteil vom 15. Januar 1990, AZ 5 Ss (OWi) 475/89).

Are government guidelines making you fat?
Here in the UK we have a major challenge with obesity. Every evening there is a programme on TV about obesity and weight loss, most of which concludes that the best approach is to staple around 90% of the stomach in order to aid fat loss.
I am going to start this blog with some interesting and potentially surprising facts and then a personal story about how digestive health can affect symptoms that would seemingly appear unrelated.
2 million people were diagnosed with a digestive disorder in 2009.
1/3 of the UK's population regularly suffers from digestive illness such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, diarrhoea, stomach aches and nausea.
In 2005/2006 over 3.7 million operations were carried out on parts of the digestive system.
42% of people suffering from digestive problems turn to sources other than their GP for help.
15% of Death in the UK is linked to digestive health.
Cancers of the digestive tract account for 23% of cancer deaths.
Hippocrates once stated that "bad digestion is the root of all evil", and many naturopathic Doctors state that "life and death begins in the gut". I have first hand experienced what an unknown digestive dysfunction can cause.
Diabetes – is what we´re being told correct?
In the UK we have the third highest obesity rate in the world, with 22.4% of the population obese. Between 50-60% of the population are also overweight and these statistics are rising each year. Alongside the obesity rates diabetes prevalence has almost doubled since 1997 from around 2.5% percent to almost 5%. What could be going wrong?

About One Meal
Our Ambitions
Community Co-op
Ambarvale
One Meal Medical
One Meal Pathways
Our StoryBen Duggan2019-04-21T08:54:58+10:00
One Meal – It Makes a Difference is a not for profit community organisation that helps to feed, clothe and support the homeless and underprivileged.
One Meal was founded December in 2014 when a group of friends came together to give back to the community with a one-off street service at Green Park in Sydney to provide "One Meal" to the needy at Christmas.
A month later they were back again and One Meal – It Makes a Difference was born.
From these simple beginnings and in a few short years One Meal has grown into an organisation that provides hundreds of meals to the needy each week across Sydney. Our service areas include Ambarvale, Blacktown, Darlinghurst, Manly, Riverwood, and Sutherland Shire.
Our meal service patrons are provided with a main meal as well as a breakfast pack to take away and further assisted where possible with swags, sanitary packs, toiletries, clothing items, blankets, etc. We also seek to collaborate with other service providers in our areas of operation so as to enable cross-referral wherever there may be benefit to our patrons.
Colin Fassnidge has been an avid supporter of One Meal and his former restaurant 4 Fourteen was a regular supporter of our city services.
In addition to meal services, our recently established One Meal Medical and One Meal Pathways programs are further providing for the growing numbers of homeless, destitute, impoverished and underprivileged people in our community.
Our Mission is to provide healthy nutritious meals and a range of human services to the homeless, destitute, impoverished and underprivileged people in our community and to assist in advancing their well-being, outlook on life and prospects for future independence – and to do so with strong ethics and integrity.
We seek to provide value for our sponsors. We respect our people and those to whom we provide. We value and promote community and positive relationships between individuals.
One Meal survives through the generosity of a great many volunteers and a number of individual and business sponsors. Our services currently span Sydney, from Macarthur through to the Northern Beaches, with many locations in-between. Our organisation is growing with work underway to secure a number of new services.
For further information, to get involved or to offer your support, please contact One Meal.

June 5: Quotable quotes that make a mockery of the audience
Mark Shenton Saturday June 5 Include in homepage slide?, Thought of the day2 Comments
Is the public being duped by the quotes in ads for the West End's Les Miserables?
There's a long tradition of 'Quotes ads' for West End shows — plastering a full page in one of the papers with quotes from the reviews, preferably verbatim and not doctored, to prove that a show has been critically endorsed.
In March 2013, when The Book of Mormon first transferred to the West End, its original Broadway producer Scott Rudin (who has now taken a back seat on his shows, after revelations of his serial bullying of underling staff) and his London producing partner Sonia Friedman took out double page ads in the London papers full of quotes before the show even opened, by using public tweets that they'd even openly solicited via a "I love Mormon" hashtag.
As I wrote at the time in a column for The Stage, that technique "smartly set them in a positive frame of reference from the outset (You'd hardly tweet a negative comment around that hashtag)." And I pointed out,
"So critics were actively relegated to the sidelines as an insurance policy against their possible disdain; it wouldn't necessarily matter what they said anymore. As it is, their further endorsements led to another flurry of quotes ads lending support to what the public were already apparently saying."
And as I added,
"There's no question that the critical quotes did, at least, carry more authentic weight; you know who and where they come from, rather than the anonymous flurry of Twitter. Still, Twitter is changing the game, including mine, where I post a brief tweet (or series of them) the moment I get home from an opening.
It used to be that critics would publish what used to be called 'overnight' reviews and would routinely be seen scampering up the aisle the moment the curtain came down to file a notice that would then be published in the next morning's papers. Now, however, I'm publishing an instant response on my own editorial channel; and other outlets like the Arts Desk don't wait till the next morning – they simply post their reviews online the moment they've written them within a couple of hours of the curtain falling."
But in yesterday's Daily Mail I noticed that the concert production of Les Miserables, currently running at the Gielgud, has by-passed the critics entirely — who were not invited to review the concert staging — and relied on 'audience' quotes, under the banner headline, "Hear the People Sing!"
Except that the first quote at the very top left of the page isn't from an audience member at all, but actually a performer in the show, who tweeted this:
Theatres back!!!!!!! What an incredible opening night @lesmisofficial The energy in the room. The entire building United together with pure joy and pride "tomorrow comes" ❤??? pic.twitter.com/ANcgggmoTW

Well, she would say that, wouldn't she? Just as Mandy Rise-Davies famously said in the course of Stephen Ward's trial at which he was found guilty of living off immoral earnings, as she was quizzed about Lord Astor's denial of having an affair with her or even having met her, she tartly replied, "Well he would, wouldn't he?"
This sent me on a chase around the other quotes in the ad.
@KatieHatton_ is actually an account that hasn't tweeted since April 5, 2016 (so a long time before this production even existed).
@theatreandthreads and @itsaiddannee_ are accounts that twitter says "doesn't exist"
@KatieBarnes and @ann_wyatt do exist, but "Katie" and "Ann" have zero and 7 followers respectively and haven't tweeted a thing
@WilliamsonHolme are an actors' agency, whose client Ebony Jonelle is in the show — and their full tweet is as follows:
Our beauty opened in @lesmisofficial last night @ebonyjonelle … our hearts are full of love and our hearts are full of song once again ??? https://t.co/mBdJoocdDA
— Williamson & Holmes (@WilliamsonHolme) May 21, 2021
@Ladymacbex I can't check, as only approved followers can see her tweets — she only has 20 followers, though, so I'd be surprised that one of them is the Les Mis marketing company. There is, however, a @ladymacbecs, who tweeted a witty reply to me, but whose quoted tweet I can't locate:
@JaneEllen_ tweeted this separately (so I assume the quote is legit, though I can't find it on her timeline myself)
Ohh I'm on the poster! ❤ pic.twitter.com/tk0reyoQE7
— Jane Ellen (@JaneEllen_) May 28, 2021
@rachelblakely's account says: "Account suspended. Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules.
So just how legit this ad's quotes really are is thrown into serious question.
Of course, mischievous producers have been known to subvert critics' words when they quote them. Or, in the case of David Merrick, the most shameless shaman of Broadway producers ever, finding seven people who shared the exact same names as New York's leading newspaper critics of the day, and publishing THEIR opinions of his production of the 60s musical Subways are for Sleeping under their own names.
He even included photographs of each contributor, which is how the ruse was uncovered, as Richard Watts, the theatre critic, was a white man — whereas the Watts that was shown was black.
The misleading ad only managed to run in one edition of one paper, but Merrick had pulled off his long-desired snub to the New York critics. He'd long planned it, he subsequently confessed, but he was unable to do so because he couldn't find a person with the same name as Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times. When Atkinson retired in 1961, Merrick was finally able to do it!
Now Cameron Mackintosh, who is no Merrick in terms of PR flair or daring — or even legacy, in terms of the number of great shows either have produced — has fallen at the first hurdle with his unrepresentative ad of public opinions, too.

Oh blimey, don't remind me of Stephen Ward.
Paul Seven Lewis
Well done for pointing out this shoddy practice. Testimonials used be a great marketing tool but, with even TrustPilot and Tripadvisor prone to fixing and now this revelation, I wonder if anyone believes quotes and recommendations anymore.

Let's talk about mycotoxins
WHAT ARE MYCOTOXINS?
Mycotoxins are toxic, secondary compounds that are naturally produced by mold and fungi as it grows and replicates or when disturbed. They are so tiny that even most HEPA filters are unable to trap and remove them. For reference, a human hair is 100 microns, a mold spore is between 1-6 microns, and some mycotoxins are as small as 0.1 microns. Their size allows them to effortlessly travel through the air in your home, through every crack and crevice, and into your body as you breathe.
Mycotoxins are chemicals, and thus not alive. You can't "kill" them with sanitizing sprays. Even after mold removal or remediation, mycotoxins remain until being carefully removed from your home with specific cleaning protocols.
DO ALL MOLDS PRODUCE MYCOTOXINS?
No, not all molds produce mycotoxins. Certain species of molds produce more than others, and some not at all. Unfortunately, many of the molds found in water damaged buildings produce some of the most dangerous.
When we look for the presence of mycotoxins in a home, we are looking for the most toxic mycotoxins produced by 10 of the most toxigenic indoor mold species.

It is estimated that 50% of all homes and buildings in the United States have enough water damage to cause illness in humans.
At least 24% of the population has a genetic defect (HLA-DR) making them susceptible to a mold illness called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS.)
The other 76% may also experience a variety of reactions and symptoms related to exposure to toxic, indoor mold.
You don't need to be good at math to see that water damage and the resulting molds can pose a serious threat to your health.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)
According to leading experts in the field of mold illness, 24% of the population contains a genetic defect making them susceptible to a form of mold illness called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS.)
Dr. Richie Shoemaker, pioneer in mold illness research and treatment, describes CIRS as a multi-system, multi-symptom biotoxin illness that can be acquired following exposure to the interior of water damaged buildings. It is an activation of the innate immune system, which should not be confused with a mold allergy which is an activation of the acquired immune system. In short, this means that those with CIRS will experience chronic activation of their immune systems, causing systemic inflammation.
The symptoms of CIRS are vast and varied and depend on which systems in the body have been affected. Some common symptoms of CIRS include gastrointestinal issues, respiratory distress, memory and cognitive issues, neurological symptoms such as neuropathies, heightened sensitivity, & mental health issues, weakness, blurred or distorted vision, ice-pick pain, blood shot eyes, joint pain, fatigue (chronic and otherwise,) frequent static shocks, migraines & headaches, trouble regulating body temperature, urinary issues, and much more.
CIRS is often misdiagnosed for other conditions such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, lupus, lyme, the list goes on. Fortunately, there is treatment available for CIRS, but the issue must be identified and addressed, both environmental and physical.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a disease
characterized by profound and debilitating fatigue, sleep abnormalities, pain, and other symptoms
exacerbated by physical exertion. There is currently no cure for CFS/ME, however research in
this field is advancing and there are some treatments that may provide symptom relief.
New research suggests that there is a link between exposure to specific mycotoxins
released from toxic molds found in water damaged buildings and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Mold Allergies
In people with mold allergies, contact with mold in their environment causes the immune system to go into overdrive.
They may experience a variety of symptoms such as sneezing, watery or itchy eyes, dry and flaking skin, stuffy nose, cough, rashes, and more.
Mold allergies are also linked to respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Exposure to mold has been linked to respiratory issues such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and asthma. Those who already have asthma may have a more difficult time breathing in moldy environments.
Prolonged exposure to certain toxic molds has also been linked to pulmonary diseases such as Aspergillosis, COPD, and more.

When it comes to losing weight, picking the right exercise for your situation is absolutely vital.
Like all exercises, you should partner with your doctor and talk it over before beginning a program. Always keep your head up – Many people tend to drop their head when they are walking either from being tired or from bad form.
Keep your back straight and tall – This helps you to prevent any strains in your lower back and will force you to keep solid form throughout your stride.
Use your back leg to push – Many people tend to throw their stride foot forward rather than push off their back leg when fitness walking.
Take quick, short strides – These are more controlled and will help you to generate safe speed as opposed to long strides that will risk injury. Keep those arms moving – If you look like you are walking with your arms tied to your sides, you are doing this all wrong. Power walking is a wonderful way to boost your weight loss program and it is generally safer than most other programs.
About RodneyBased in Greensboro, Rodney Southern has been writing and editing sports and nature articles for going on 10 years.
Once you get the okay from your doctor, power walking can become a strong part of your exercise program. Back problems are no vacation and you should always stay upright and focused when power walking. Your arms should move vigorously back and forth in stride with your legs so that you are burning even more calories and increasing that heart rate.
If you do it right and stick to a regular fitness walking routine, you can certainly drop some pounds in an efficient and safe fashion.

Los Feliz Homes for Sale
Los Feliz (pronounced Los FEE-liss) is a neighborhood in Central Los Angeles. It is bordered to the north by Griffith Park and Atwater Village, to the south by Silver Lake and East Hollywood, and to the west by Hollywood and the Hollywood Hills. Check out THIS!
Los Feliz is known for its broad range of architectural styles and the neighborhood includes works by famous architects including Wallace Neff, Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, Gregory Ain, and R.M. Schindler.
The area known as the "Los Feliz Hills" refers to the area between Los Feliz Boulevard and Griffith Park. The Los Feliz Hills is one of the wealthiest areas of Los Angeles containing many multimillion-dollar homes.
The walkable areas along Vermont Ave. and Hillhurst Ave. represent the main commercial district, known as Los Feliz Village. These two parallel stretches are home to numerous historic storefronts housing a variety of trendy shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, dive bars, and even a historic movie theater.
Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in the country, and is popular among hikers, bikers, and stargazers alike. The park is home to the famous Griffith Observatory and the Greek Theatre, as well as the Los Angeles Zoo. It is also known for its wildlife including a large coyote population, bobcats, and arguably its most famous resident, P-22, one of the last remaining mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains. (Side Note: a koala went "missing" from the Zoo earlier this year…)
The median yearly household income in 2008 was $50,793, which is about the same as the rest of Los Angeles.
My husband lived here while we were dating. I always think of Los Feliz as upscale. It is easy to get to the 101 and the 5 but there is usually a ton of traffic mostly on the weekend although I am told the locals have secret short cuts! It is wonderful to be nestled into Griffith Park; there is so much to do – hike, run, play, picnic, music, horses etc.! It is like our "Central Park" and we are lucky it is protected.

I am an Adelaidean by birth and have been a Russian translator and interpreter for 20 years. Prior to this, I spent 15 years working as a research biochemist at Flinders and Adelaide universities. I also studied Russian at university and unexpectedly became an interpreter and translator at the instigation of my Russian lecturer. Jobs in science became scarce due to economic circumstances and, having gained accreditation, I slipped into translating and interpreting without giving it much thought. In 2009, I joined AUSIT and, shortly after, the branch committee. I soon found myself representing AUSIT on the SA NAATI Regional Advisory committee and then, a couple of years later, the position of SA/NT Branch Delegate was added to my duties. In 2013, I became General Secretary of AUSIT, before reverting to the position of SA/NT Branch Delegate in 2016. The motivation for my work within AUSIT is driven by a deep concern in the way the profession has been treated for a long time with regards to the erosion of standards, status and work conditions. I believe that we must take charge of our own destiny and that we can only do this collectively. To this end, I participate in lobbying, standing up for our rights and representing our interests whenever possible at the Branch level and, of course, supporting AUSIT as an organisation.

Why do signs of life on Mars seem so confusing? National Geographic
October 18, 2022 by hairlossbimedi.com
In 2012, a new era in Mars research began when NASA launched its six-wheeled vehicle Curiosity of In the crater of the volcano Gale. Today, this crater, 155 kilometers in diameter, contains a large mountain made up of many stratigraphic sediments documenting Mars' geology past. The main purpose of Curiosity of It is the search for signs of the planet's survival, such as water, organic molecules, and energy sources – components essential to life as we know it.
Evidence of liquid water was easy to find; Scientists already suspected that there was a deep lake in the hole. Curiosity of He was able to identify almost instantly an entire group of rocks that would have formed only in the presence of water.
But other tasks were less clear.
over the years, Curiosity of Traces in Jezero Crater indicate the presence of many organic molecules, the basic chemical building blocks of all carbon-based life. The rover also found the remains of ancient hydrothermal vents, sites where liquid water at high temperatures mixed with a variety of chemical compounds, potentially a source of energy.
In addition to, Curiosity of He found that the methane content in the air above the crater fluctuates with the seasons and sometimes shows strong outliers. These measurements are consistent with previous observations from Earth, which have not been properly explained for over ten years. On Earth, such fluctuations in methane levels would be clear indicators of active metabolic processes.
However, none of these observations can be linked to biological processes yet. In addition, there is always the possibility that we are dealing with processes that we do not yet fully understand and are just He appears About the signs of life.
"Most carbon processes at the Earth's surface are biological in nature, so it is very difficult for us to change perspective and try to visualize a world that is not the case," says Christopher House, an astrobiologist at Penn State University. "Once you get out of that Earth perspective, you can start to think about the ways Mars behaves differently from Earth."
Weird carbon compounds
Curiosity ofThe most unusual and most interesting observation dates back to a very recent history. In multiple rock samples taken at different locations of the crater, the rover found organic compounds with odd ratios between different carbon isotopes, and atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons in its core.
On Earth, organisms prefer to use lighter isotopes of carbon for metabolism or photosynthesis, resulting in little change in the proportion of isotopes in organic matter.
Here's what scientists found at five different locations on Gale Crater: rocks in which the lighter isotopes were higher than the heavier ones, compared to the ratios they had previously found in the Martian atmosphere and in Martian meteorites. The observations are reminiscent of carbon traces measured in Australia's Tumbiana Formation, a 2.7 billion-year-old outcrop that contains carbon traces of ancient microbes that metabolized methane.
The reduction in the presence of heavy carbon isotopes is really cool. Exciting. On Earth, this only happens through biology, says Williams.
But astrobiologist House, who led the analysis, says the results aren't entirely clear. He and his colleagues described three possible scenarios that could explain the changing ratio.
The first is that ancient microbes did indeed cause the isotope signature. The second possibility is that the Solar System flew so long ago through an interstellar dust cloud that the ratio of carbon isotopes has shifted in favor of lighter isotopes. Such clouds are known to exist, so it is possible that this cloud left its mark on Mars. The third possibility is that carbon dioxide2 In the Martian atmosphere, ultraviolet radiation interacted to produce a strange signal. "We don't know the answer," House says.
It can be organic or inorganic. The three scenarios are consistent with the available data.
mysterious layers
Last year, NASA's spacecraft arrived perseverance On Mars, that spacecraft was also looking for traces of ancient life.
On his journey through Jezero crater perseverance There are countless purple layers on the rocks that contain a high percentage of iron. According to Bradley Garcinsky of Purdue University, who has studied the stratigraphy, these types of sediments have not been detected by spacecraft on Mars, although rocks with other sediments have been observed in several places on the Red Planet.
These layers on Earth are called "desert varnishes" and are made up of deposits of microbes that feed on minerals from the rocks.
These types of varnishes are very interesting and would certainly be of biological interest on Earth. So if they are found on other worlds, they are of great astrobiological significance to us," says Williams.

You had a great first date with your crush, and you're planning to meet up again. You are really looking forward to the night – but a small part of you is worried that it won't live up to the first date.
If you can relate to this, you're not alone. Second dates can be just as scary as first dates, and there tends to be more pressure to get along well. However second dates also have a lot of benefits; you both know the attraction is there, and you already know that you have some things in common with each other.
Here are four rules to make sure that the second date is even better than the first.
One of the main issues with second dates is that people expect it to be better than the first – and it can be difficult to guarantee this if you just meet up for a drink in a bar. So if you want to make sure that the night is a success, consider doing something a little bit more memorable. For instance, if you date mentioned a place (such as a nearby museum or library), you could take them there and ask them to show you around. Alternatively you could make a picnic, or go stargazing – so long as it is more unique than a bar or a restaurant!
Going to the movies isn't great for a first date – and it isn't really ideal for a second date, either. This is because a movie doesn't really give you the chance to talk to each other; you pretty much have to sit in silence for an hour or two, so you won't find out much about each other. Another issue is that you could hate the movie, which means that the night will be pretty boring (even if your date is very interesting!).
You can also add a little extra excitement to the night by suprising your date with the location. This is sure to make the night more memorable, but be careful – there is always a chance your date won't like what you picked. For this reason we only suggest this if you know that your date will definitely enjoy the surprise! For instance, you could surprise her with something she said she liked on her dating profile, such as salsa or cooking.
If you plan an elaborate date (such as a hike in the woods, or stargazing), we suggest that you meet for a coffee or a drink first. This will give you both the chance to relax and feel comfortable with each other first, so the date is more likely to be a success.

Review published May 2000
Rembrandt yes, Rubens no, would be the verdict of the museum-going public in 2000. But if anything is going to get them to think again it is this book. This is indeed a biography in the old fashioned sense; for the personality of the man is always to be sensed behind the easel. Belkin provides a wonderfully rounded, coherent and contextual account of this outwardly most public of all painters. Biographies of artists tend to treat the facts of the life as a washing line to hang out pictorial imagery, but not this. Bravely, and with scant regard to modishness, Belkin has had the courage to speak of the man, and to speak with enviable eloquence.
This is one volume in the now extensive Phaidon Art & Ideas series, designed as an introduction to individual artists and World art perspectives, from the prehistoric to the late twentieth century. The books are thorough and exacting studies, and although intended to be accessible to the lay reader, will be both satisfying and informative at many levels. In this context the present volume would appear to fulfill those goals admirably. It reveals Rubens's art against a background of social history and the events of his life. It is particularly strong on Rubens's techniques and workshop practices, including the tradition of copying as a didactic process. He was deeply involved in religion and politics, and the book is revealing of the nature and life of Rubens the man, and especially the role of women in his life and art. It is a valuable guide to his iconography and influences and the effect upon his work of the church and state, and out of his correspondence it traces his public and social position and charts his relationships with his own circle.
The writer has meditated long on what is familiar, but she has not been daunted by the challenge of trying to think of something arresting to say: we are treated to fresh insights about the painter throughout the book. Belkin's achievement is partly the virtue of her distinctly old-fashioned approach: her biography is very much 'life and times', with the 'times' acting as bars to the music of Rubens's creativity.
It is suggested that Rubens's early experience of his parents' political adherence to now one religion, now another, developed that degree of expediency in his make-up which was later to become such a priceless asset. There is too, a proper emphasis on Rubens's capacity, rare among artists, to read classical texts for himself and how this naturally allowed him to revivify old themes. Building on Alpers's study of late Rubens, Belkin contributes something really worth saying on the difficult subject of Rubens's intense dialogue with Titian after 1630. Surely it is right to think of all those faithful copies after Titian portraits as having an ulterior motive; the need Rubens felt to keep sweet with the archducal regime in Brussels through the compliment of returning with so many of their ancestors.
Inevitably in a book as good as this, there are things to disagree about. It is impossible to believe that there can have been no Venetian painting in Antwerp before Rubens left for Italy. How can this be squared with Antwerp's status as the great northern entrepôt for the buying and selling of pictures? Belkin offers the fascinating idea that Rubens celebrated the union of the English and Scottish crowns with particular gusto because that is what he had always wanted for the Netherlands. That's fine; but the Selfportrait acquired for Charles I was disgorged from Rubens not by Charles but that greedy and insensitive admirer of Rubens, Lord Danvers, as indeed I have tried to prove with the publication of new documents. Furthermore, Gregory Martin and I, separately, have also argued, at least to our satisfaction, that the genesis of the Whitehall ceiling was a lot more complicated than Belkin suggests.
This book is unquestionably the best general introduction in print on Rubens, and it is written in an unexpectedly fluid and pleasing style. Illustrations are excellent given the price of the book: a mix of big show piece altarpieces; a nice selection of drawings which always sugars the pill for those who find Rubens hard to swallow, and in addition, a showing of the impedimenta of that uniquely rich cultural life, in the form of letters, drawings after the odd spoon, and so on. The designers have given us a cahier d'art rather more than the conventional presentation of the oeuvre and that too, like the text itself, is fresh and exciting.
