A humble person has heartfelt gratitude for Jehovah's provisions, including spiritual food. Hence, such an individual is a diligent student of the Bible and an avid reader of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines. Like many other faithful servants of Jehovah, he may make it a practice to read each new publication before putting it away on a bookshelf in his personal library. When we manifest humble appreciation by reading and studying our Bible-based publications, we make spiritual advancement, and Jehovah is able to use us more fully in his service.—Heb. 5:13, 14.
I must first commend the Brooklyn printing corporation for including those who have "heartfelt gratitude for Jehovah's provisions" as "diligent students of the Bible." I would also add that it is not merely the student of the Bible who will have heartfelt gratitude, but those who also believe and apply what the Scriptures teach. I'm sure Jehovah's Witnesses would concur. However, as one who is not one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I cannot agree with the additions above in bold. The reason being, I see no Scriptural obligation for me, as a Christ-follower, to make it a practice to read and apply the publications of a particular Brooklyn printing corporation (also known as the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society).
I would like to make it clear that I do not think its wrong for someone to read bible-based publications. Instead, my point is to focus on the necessity on these publications as well as how much emphasis is placed on them. More importantly, I find it problematic when an organization or an individual places this emphasis on their own publications as necessary or essential for spiritual advancement.
Well, question is: Are there better magazines preaching the gospel than watchtower and awake? If there are, the watchtwoer's statement makes no really sense. If there isn't, the statement is a logical conlusion.
Irrespective of whether there are or aren't better magazines that preach the gospel, I don't think any man-made writing deserves that kind of exaltation.
The real question is do we NEED magazines for spiritual advancement when we have already been given the Word(Memra) which is Jesus and the scriptures. Second what happens when we find blatant errors and dishonesty within said magazines? Even if, and that is a big IF, they are the best publication around does that mean that they are the de facto authoritative source of guidance? What about all other publications? What is the standard or where is the cut off? Which publications make the grade and which ones don't? So I am not sure that your suggested logic is the best way to look at their self proclaimed authority. Just because there is a best choice out of a set of choices, doesn't mean that it is the right choice.


On behalf of Zelbst, Holmes & Butler posted in medical malpractice on Tuesday, May 3, 2016.
The Food and Drug Administration has issued two final guidance documents that could reduce the number of medication-related deaths in Oklahoma and across the U.S. The documents are part of the agency's efforts to satisfy a 2007 law which called for a reduction in unclear medication labels, look-alike and sound-alike brand names and problematic label and packaging designs.
According to the Institute of Medicine, approximately 7,000 people die from medication-related causes each year in the U.S., and studies show that drugs with similar names are a top contributor to the problem. To address the issue, the first FDA guidance recommends that new drug submissions include specific information to help the agency identify brand name problems. This information would include the drug's proposed proprietary name, pronunciation, pharmacology category, label design and dispensing method.
The FDA's second guidance outlines ways that medication applicants can improve a drug's user interface and container closure system. For example, all medications should feature label designs that make critical user information easy to locate and read. The agency also suggests that applicants consider the different environments in which their product may be used, such as hospitals, pharmacies and homes, when designing drug labels. It also says that pharmacists should counsel patients on potentially harmful drug interactions each time a medication is filled.
Taking medication that has been wrongly prescribed can lead to a worsened medical condition and other harm. This could rise to the level of medical malpractice, and an attorney can determine the party or parties that should be held financially responsible.

WORDS FROM ALFREDO MAÑAS AND ANTÓN GARCÍA ABRIL
It's really very simple: what I want is to make uncomplicated and straightforward theater, like bread and water; that is, like the anonymous balladeer.
There is a chronicler or a cult poet behind every anonymous romance, every popular poem. Behind my works, behind this Don Juan, there is an entire Spanish tradition of cult authors, and what's more, the entire variety of popular poetry on the subject and all the modern poetry by my favorite authors and teachers. Behind this work are Machado, Vallejo, Neruda, Lorca, Alberti, Miguel Hernández, all, those from now, those still to come, the usuals. And there is also Tirso, Zorrilla, Omar Kayan, Fernando de Rojas, Valle Inclán, Lope de Vega, Puskhin, Ortega y Gasset, Unamuno, Azorín, Baroja, Ganivet, Américo Castro...the usuals, the usuals... Luis Buñuel said in the last issue of "Griffith" magazine: "Today's youth are innocent victims of the break with tradition". As you can see, I don't want to be an innocent victim of any break.
Back to what I was saying: following the parallelism of creation between the cult and popular poetry, what I did is the same: that is, to take the myth and the development in cult works and adapt it to a popular atmosphere. On the other hand, it is then that Don Juan, or Don Galán (Rake), as he is called in the first anonymous romance, from whose clay this character seems to be shaped, who everyone says is the most dazzling, attractive and exciting character in Spanish literature, perhaps even world literature, began to gain a reputation. And hence the beginning of this legend:
Pa misa diba un galán (A rake was going to mass)
Caminito de la iglesia (Walking on his way to church).
ni diba por oir misa (he wasn't going to hear mass)
ni por devoción de ella (nor was he going to worship),
que diba por ver las damas (he was going to see the ladies)
las que están guapas y frescas (the ones who are beautiful and young)
This is the Don Juan that I know, that I want, that excites me. That insulting, sacrilegious, anarchic, rebellious boy of the people who goes to Mass to scandalously seduce women, who mocks everything divine and human, but who carries somewhere deep inside him the specter of the religious and of the moral. Because, as Ortega y Gasset said, the moral condition of Don Juan stems from the fact that all his adventures are followed by risk, followed by death, which follows him everywhere he goes, a pale friendship he carries on his shoulder.
One could spend a lifetime talking about Don Juan, trying to clarify who Don Juan is, unsuccessfully, of course, because clearer and more powerful minds than mine have tried and fallen short...so me, little old me...but I'll just say a couple of things...I've always heard it said that Don Juan is a legend about the decay of a class, of its disappearance...I, however, come from a social class that has not yet made its appearance, and yet what I like about Don Juan is the side of the people that appears...Careful, though, it appears with all its vices, its dangers and its virtues...the phrase that could summarize my attempt of Don Juan is this one from Antonio Machado (hail, master): Don Juan is, like the Spanish people, an unknown full of mysterious potential.
So, then, on the other hand, this is the story, so Spanish, of a boy of the people who, by any means necessary, manages to lift himself out of the anonymous people. He is someone who, when confronted with a ruling class or family, and is offered the opportunity to become immortal and part of this family, he prefers destruction and disorder. Nothing else.
And now this one's for you, Antonio Gades: Do you remember, Antonio? Three years ago we were out and about, having a few glasses of wine on credit, because, as you say, we were strapped for cash, and you said to me: "I'm going to spend the first bit of money I make on producing a show together", and I told you, "It will be Don Juan", and you replied "Done". And it's done, Antonio. But what grief I'm in. Since the age of 13 you've been clawing your way up, struggling, banging your head against the stage to be someone. Now, you are...and you can live in peace. But you risked it all: your money, your health, your prestige, this letter from Don Juan you have placed in my hands...I'm grieving...If this doesn't go well, if I make you fail, I will never forgive myself...
One last note: if there is one thing I am at this time absolutely sure about our Don Juan (because it is ours, Anton García Abril and mine), of one thing I am sure, it's the show's music. I'm not sure about the other half of the show, but the score, the score yes...Absolutely sure...all the popular mood, feeling, that touch, that difficult touch that I wanted for Don Juan, I don't know if it will be in the text; but it will be, I'm sure, in the orchestra, in the score by Anton Garcia Abril...
And another thing I'm proud of: the actors. I will never find more enthusiasm for my work than this company. Candida Losada, who has been up for anything: to not sleep, to dance, to move and to receive choreography lessons with a passionate excitement. And everyone, all the others: Paloma Lorena, Carlos Villafranca, Pilarín Sanclemente, Lizarraga, Albert, Pascual, Amézaga. And a girls chorus, their passion is my weakness. And a boys chorus. And a ballet, which the actors also perform. And the singers, who are the actresses. And then, a medieval ensemble, the only one of its kind in the world, I think. And the orchestra. And all those who help me get this off the ground, with tireless effort. Viola, Corberó, Ponç, Sainz de la Peña…All these painters and sculptors, whose work has been more than recognized in international art world and here is done even by house painters. And Gonzalo Sebastián de Erice, my assistant...And Granero, the choreographer, with Gades, who is leaves pieces of his health throughout all the immense choreography that is this work. And nothing else.
Ah, my stage direction is very simple. A entire people of viewers comes to see the show, making life a mere spectacle. For the people who come here everything is spectacle: a mass, an intimate love scene, a beating, a parade, the death of a bride...As for the actors, it is also very simple: I wanted them to be, not to overact...We will see if I have succeeded…
And the last surprise: Gades, Gades as an actor, as a Don Juan, as a classical dancer, as a popular "bailaor"...see it, see it, and tell me…
The way a show is approached, be it musical or theatrical, brings with it a series of problems whose resolution depends the balance and the perfection of the show. But these problems only go one way: in our case, when writing Don Juan, we were asked to let our imaginations fly, unifying the language to make it true musical theater. Musical theater meaning where dialog and music are not performed separately, where the dialog is essential to the music and music, the dialog. In this sense, the partnership with Alfredo Mañas has been complete. Our work together hasn't been too difficult, because a marked musical sense is always lying dormant in Alfredo Mañas' theatrical thinking. We have always worked together and have given shape to the show according to the demands of the dramatic style, giving up both to any situation in which dialog or music slips away from of our initial purpose.
Our lifelong idea has always been to make true popular theater rooted in our best tradition. In Don Juan, actors, dancers, choruses, etc. all blend together, providing them all a great richness of expression. We have adopted a total freedom of language; the sound elements that appear range from the hurdy-durdy, vihuela, Renaissance flutes, etc., to the fusion of different xylophones, within a tone structure adapted to the theater.
It is true that we have had an extremely valuable aesthetic element when creating the show: the dancer/actor, this quality that Antonio Gades had, which has provided extensive possibilities, opening the way to the creation of new forms of expression.

The Isenbeck Brewery was known as "the" private brewery of the city of Hamm. Since 1769, the beer with the red-coated rider on its logo was brewed here. After brewing ceased in 1990, the Warsteiner Group made the decision to continue the regional brand with the long heritage. In addition to the Isenbeck Premium Pilsener, Isenbeck Dark and the malted refreshment beverage Isenbeck Malz compliment the product portfolio of the company.
The history of the traditional regional brand from the city of Lippstadt dates back to 1734. Since 1990, the brand is part of the portfolio of the Warsteiner Group. The Westphalian beer is brewed with original recipes in Paderborn.
This premium pilsener is a mild hoppy pilsener in the best Westphalian brewing tradition. Paderborner Gold enjoys enormous popularity in the gastronomy of its Westphalian home region as well as at many surrounding regional and cultural fairs.


When I first became aware of this book, I have to confess part of me expected it to be one of those unauthorised efforts you see in The Works a few months after publication at a fraction of the cover price, full of photographs you've seen a hundred times before and text lazily cut and pasted from old interviews and articles. I hold my hands up – I couldn't have been more wrong! This is a first class read, rounding up all The Boss's studio work from 1973's Greetings From Asbury Park,NJ through to 2014's High Hopes. It comes in a large format (roughly A4 size) on top quality paper, and has been authored by Brian Hiatt, a senior writer for Rolling Stone, and a man who has interviewed Springsteen on a number of occasions for that publication. He also spoke extensively with members of the E Street Band, along with other musicians and producers who have worked with Springsteen over the years. He goes through each album, song by song, and also adds to each set songs from the album sessions that didn't make the final cut, but which were later released on outtakes sets such as Tracks and The Promise, or as B sides. It's a very thoroughly researched piece of work, which gives much interesting background information, along with insights into the composition of the songs and the recording process itself. He certainly turns up a lot of detail I wasn't previously aware of, giving at the same time a thorough and robust critical appraisal of the songs and placing them in the overall context of Springsteen's canon. The whole book is very well written and meticulously researched, and is heartily recommended for Bruce fans..
Probably not for someone with just a passing interest in Springsteen's extensive back catalogue, but if you're a fan you'll find there's lots to like here in this very comprehensive tome. A most enjoyable way to pass a few hours – or one you can just dip in and out of as and when the mood takes you.
Those wanting to dip their toes into live material could do worse than try the newly released digital compilation Songs of Friendship, a career spanning fifteen track set cherry picked from the live shows released via Springsteen's website in recent years.
There must be at least ten pages on Racng In The Street.
Written when he had no licence or was it after?
The original deconstruction book was Ian McDonald's Revolution In The Head and I found it complemented rather than detracted from my memories of The Fabs and their songs.
Jingsabloodyroonie and Mary, that bloody tosh! Dylan has had many a wankery book written about his lyrics but none compare in awfulness to McDonald's nonsense.
Had a listen to the Songs of Friendship compilation of live stuff. Admittedly on Spotty but was underwhelmed. I have bought some of his live downloads and was expecting much better things. .
It's only on Spotify I think. Fairly random selection, just a playlist basically.
Thundercrack is a great song – good shout @Bargepole.
Thundercrack? What's about, then? If only Moose was here to explain.
I wouldn't say it is much of a song, it's a lot of fun though and great live.


Flatiron Reservoir is a 47-acre power plant after bay in the foothills above Carter Lake. Stocked annually with 28,500 10-inch rainbow trout, basic bait-and-bobbers or small spinners will take these fish from shore all summer long. No boating is allowed. Park permits and camping fees are required and are available from rangers or at self-service sites. The scenic Flatiron Reservoir Campground offers tent sites only, with drinking water, tables, fire grates, and restrooms. Key Species: Rainbow trout.
One of Colorado's best trails, Flatiron Reservoir is located near Loveland, CO. Trails' printable online topo maps offer shaded and un-shaded reliefs, and aerial photos too. Use topographic maps to find elevation, print high resolution maps, save a PNG, or just learn the topography around Flatiron Reservoir. You can also get free latitude and longitude coordinates from the topographical map and set your GPS. Premium members can download or print any topo and cover more terrain when you map your Flatiron Reservoir route ahead of time.

Cleanliness is next to . . . Sunlight
Sunlight is a brand of household soap originally produced by the British company Lever Brothers, (William and his brother James Darcy).
The soap formula was invented by a Bolton chemist named William Hough Watson, in 1884. His process created a new soap using glycerin and vegetable oils, such as palm oil, rather than tallow (animal fats)
William Hough Watson soon became an early business partner of the Lever Brothers.
The brothers invested generously in Watson's soap invention and its initial success came from offering bars of cut, wrapped, and branded soap in their father's grocery shop. Prior to this, commercially made soap was bought in long bars, an early labour-saving device, for the housekeeper. Designed for washing clothes and general household use, Sunlight Soap was to become the world's first total laundry soap.
In 1887, Lever Brothers began looking for a new site on which to expand their soap-making activities, which were at that time based in Warrington, Cheshire.
The company subsequently bought 56 acres (230,000m2) of flat unused marsh land south of the River Mersey. It was large enough to allow space for expansion and had a prime location between the river and a railway line.
It was on this site, in 1888, Lever Brothers began to build Port Sunlight. (The name is derived from Lever Brothers most popular brand of cleaning agent, "Sunlight Soap")
It was built specifically to accommodate the workers in its soap factory. William Lever personally supervised planning the village, and employed nearly thirty different architects. Between 1899 and 1914, 800 houses were built to house a population of 3,500 (4.5 persons per household).
The garden village had allotments and public buildings including the Lady Lever Art Gallery, a cottage hospital, schools, a concert hall, open air swimming pool, church, and a temperance hotel. Indeed, like the town of Bournville established by Cadbury's, Port Sunlight was an alcohol free zone.
Lever introduced welfare schemes, and provided for the education and entertainment of his workforce, encouraging recreation and organisations which promoted art, literature, science or music. William Lever's aims, like those of Mr Cadbury, were "to socialise and Christianise business relations and get back to that close family brotherhood that existed in the good old days of hand labour."
He claimed that Port Sunlight was an exercise in profit sharing, but rather than share profits directly, he invested them in the village; "It would not do you much good if you send it down your throats in the form of bottles of whisky, bags of sweets, or fat geese at Christmas. On the other hand, if you leave the money with me, I shall use it to provide for you everything that makes life pleasant – nice houses, comfortable homes, and healthy recreation."
The open air swimming pool is now a garden centre and café. Until the 1980s, all residents were employees of Unilever and their families. During this decade the houses were first sold privately. The former village school is now a working men's club.
By 1900 "Lifebuoy", "Lux" and "Vim" brands had been added and subsidiaries had been set up in the United States, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Germany and elsewhere. By 1911 the company had its own oil palm plantations in the Belgian Congo and the Solomon Islands.
Lever Brothers Ltd. also acquired other soap companies across the region including A&F Pears, Gossage's of Widnes, Watson's of Leeds, Crosfield's of Warrington, Hazlehurst & Sons of Runcorn and Hudson's of Liverpool.
Lever Brothers rode the cresting late-Victorian consumer revolution to build a vast worldwide industrial empire. Four years after William Lever's death in 1925, his enterprises were amalgamated as Unilever.
By 1930, the company employed 250,000 people and in terms of market value, was the largest company in Britain. Even today, over 120 years later, the name of Lever is still incorporated in the company titles.

What Does Dubai Runway Closure Mean?
Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Tourism (MLITT) has issued Type Certification for the Airbus A350 XWB, enabling the A350 XWB first customer from the country Japan Airlines to operate the aircraft. The type certification covers the aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines.
Airbus Japan President Stephane Ginoux said, "Receiving the A350 XWB Type Certification from the Japan's authority is a great achievement. We are very pleased that Japan Airlines will join soon other world class carriers flying the world's most modern widebody aircraft".
JAL placed an order for 31 A350 XWBs (18 A350-900s and 13 A350-1000s) in 2013. It was JAL's first ever order for Airbus aircraft.
The carrier's first A350-900 is scheduled for delivery in the middle of the year. JAL's A350 XWB fleet will enter service on major domestic routes starting with its Haneda – Fukuoka route from September, replacing older-generation wide-body types.


You can join playing golf in Tahko! Tahko offers 2 modern golf courses (Old Course and New Course) with perfect green grass - true masterpieces of landscape design!
Old Course with 18 holes is situated in the center of Tahko. The field is located in the foreland of the peninsula on the bank of lake Syväri. It was built in 2000. The first 9 holes are located in the area with different landscape: a park, detached trees, ponds. Then after a little refreshment at the golf club there are 9 more holes with a suitable height difference, good deal of coastline with stunning views to the lake and the ski slopes. The tour ends at the golf club with a restaurant, sauna and other services. Tahko Old Course has been twice chosen the best golf course Finland.
Both Old and New Course greens differ clearly from each other. The New Course green wanders the artificial water obstacles and passes along the trees. Elevation, water obstacles and narrow zones add more interest to the game, as players require much accuracy.
In the summer of 2010 another golf course Tiirin Golf with 9 holes was built near the town of Nilsiä. There you can play without a special certificate.
If you are an avid player, choose accommodation near the field. You have to book play golf time in advance.

Q: Derivation of this inequality Graphically, it is easy to see but to analytically derive the following inequality,
$$|e^x-e^y| \le |x-y| \ \ \ \ \forall x,y \in (-\infty,0]  \ \ \ \ (1)$$
do I just apply the MVT and show that the derivative of at a certain c between x and y equals $0$ hence the ratio is less than 1 and thus we derive $(1)$

A: The idea is that $e^x$ is bounded on this interval since it is monotonically increasing.
By MVT, we know there exists some $c \in (-\infty,0)$ such that
$$|e^x - e^y| = |e^c||x-y|$$ for any $x,y \in (-\infty,0]$. But notice that $e^c$ is bounded above by 1. This gives the desired result.

Home MMO News The Reasoning Behind Marvel Heroes' 201X Yearly Naming Convention
The Reasoning Behind Marvel Heroes' 201X Yearly Naming Convention
I've often poked fun at Marvel Heroes and its now-yearly rename. The game launched in 2013 as simply "Marvel Heroes" but changed in 2014 to "Marvel Heroes 2015" and, before 2015 is over, will be re-branded again as "Marvel Heroes 2016." But it looks like there's a method to Gazillion's and David Brevik's time-warping madness.
Over at Gamasutra, Brevik acknowledges that the reason for the change was due to Marvel Heroes' less-than-stellar debut, which he admits happened "before it was ready, and that it was frankly not very good." That resulted in a Metacritic score of 58, which would have been unlikely to ever change no matter how much the game improved.
His solution? Call the game something new and get it re-assessed and re-reviewed, thus boosting its score. Marvel Heroes 2015 sports a much shinier 81 on Metacritic, and Brevik is hopeful that the "launch" of Marvel Heroes 2016 will draw in even more folks.
"It's our big launch for the year, basically. And I think as we get better with improving the game as well as watching our metrics and measuring things, our retention will improve as well."
I think the article's comparison to Madden NFL games rebranding themselves each year with a new number is a little bit of an apples-and-oranges comparison, and recent news of layoffs at Gazillion aren't good news. But overall, it's a tactic that seems to have worked pretty well for Marvel Heroes 201something.
The Masses September 28, 2015 at 3:57 am
We're too stupid to realize it's the same game and we'll lap it up like good dogs! We love when game developers try to deceive us with crappy naming conventions as if we're total idiots! Oh wait..we are! Hurr durp!

THE INCLUSION POLICY
Over the past week, my web clicking fingers led me to an interview on Elle.com with powerful film maker Ava DuVernay who we popularly know as the director and co-writer of Selma.
In her conversation, DuVernay uttered words that boost the potentiality of ruffled feathers depending on which side of the fence you're on. She said that she hates the word diversity, and from her quote, it irks her:
"I really hate the word 'diversity.' Oh, I just don't like it. It feels like medicine. Diversity is like, 'Ugh. I have to do diversity.' I recognize and celebrate what it is, but that word, to me, is a disconnect. There's an emotional disconnect. Inclusion feels closer; belonging is even closer."
Although upon first glance I painted her thoughts with the semantics brush but through my experience of being part of the 'diversity' group I realize the notable difference between diversity and inclusion:
The diversity hire alludes to employing anyone of colour or from a (previously politically disadvantaged group) into an organization that is predominately of one race or gender (i.e. euphemism for white men) which has worked for some time, but the cracks of ingenuity have shown itself overtime.
After a while, hiring someone out of diversity has much less to do with their real skills but creating an illusion of 'progressive behaviour' in growth of a firm.
This speaks coherently to certain races, as least those of African descent who got hired or taken places because they have become the black progressive token of their organization. Becoming the monolith of diversity in their workplace, they get invited to diversity themed conferences, forums and discussions – owning up to being the trophy wife to progression.
And of course behind closed doors their ideas are effortlessly tossed into indifference. (case and point the awkward mansplaining between Matt Damon and Effie Brown).This is because the aspect of diversity simply encourages visibility of a multi-raced organization without consideration of their inclusion in the growth of the entire firm.
The crux of the matter is that there is a strong need to unlearn the teachings of stereotypes which were heavily propagated to different races growing up. We need to unlearn teachings that surround the inferiority and superior complex which has one group of people undermining or overestimating the capabilities of another. So when diversity policies are implemented, companies do not only serve to fulfill these policies as part of a global trend.
Therefore, a policy must be introduced: the inclusion policy, which would detail not only the presence of diverse groups in an organization but also teach on cultural respect, debugging stereotypes and scientifically proving that race does not have an impact to a level of intellect and ability. This policy will present a genuine meaning to diversity, where control and power of a business is not centralized, but its growth dependent holistically on the positive productivity of its workers.

Aretas III (; Nabataean Aramaic:
 Ḥārīṯat; Ancient Greek:  ) was king of the Nabataean kingdom from 87 to 62 BCE. Aretas ascended to the throne upon the death of his brother, Obodas I, in 87 BCE. During his reign, he extended his kingdom to cover what now forms the northern area of Jordan, the south of Syria, and part of Saudi Arabia. Probably the greatest of Aretas' conquests was that of Damascus, which secured his country's place as a serious political power of its time. Nabataea reached its greatest territorial extent under Aretas' leadership.<ref>G. Horsfield & A. Conway, "Historical and Topographical Notes on Edom: With an Account of the First Excavations at Petra", The Geographical Journal, 76 (1930), pp. 369-388. (JSTOR link)</ref>

Conquest of Damascus
Damascus straddled the primary commercial route from the Mediterranean Sea to India and the Middle East. The city was taken from the loosening grip of the Seleucid Empire in 85 BCE by Aretas, who styled himself as Aretas Philhellen (Philhellen'', "friend of the Greeks"). He ordered the mints of Damascus to produce the first silver Nabataean coins, in a Hellenic style and lettering his name in the Greek language instead of Nabataean Aramaic. To further reinforce the new culture of the Nabataeans, Aretas endeavoured to bring architecture of Greek and Roman fashion to the Nabataean capital, Petra, and to new settlements such as  Humayma, including a 26.8 km aqueduct. Nabataean rule of Damascus was interrupted in 72 BCE by a successful siege led by the Armenian king Tigranes II. Armenian rule of the city ended in 69 BCE when Tigranes' forces were pulled out to deal with a Roman attack on the Armenian capital, allowing Aretas to re-take the city.

Hyrcanus and the Judean throne

In 67 BCE, Hyrcanus II ascended to the throne of Judea. Scarcely three months later, his younger brother Aristobulus II incited a rebellion, successfully leading the uprising to overthrow Hyrcanus and take the offices of both King and High Priest. Hyrcanus was confined to Jerusalem, where he would continue to receive revenues of the latter office. However, fearing for his life, he fled to Petra and allied himself with Aretas, who agreed to support Hyrcanus after receiving the promise of having the Arabian towns taken by the Hasmoneans returned to Nabataea by Hyrcanus' chief advisor, Antipater the Idumaean.

Aretas advanced towards Jerusalem at the head of 50,000 men, besieging the city for several months. Eventually, Aristobulus bribed Marcus Aemilius Scaurus, deputy of the Roman general Pompey. Scaurus ordered Aretas to withdraw his army, which then suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Aristobulus on the journey back to Nabatea.

Despite the compliance of Aretas, in 62 BCE Scaurus marched on Petra. However, a combination of the rough terrain and low supplies, obliged Scaurus to seek the aid of Hyrcanus, now High Priest (not king) of Judea, who sent Antipater to barter for peace with Aretas. The siege was lifted in exchange for several hundred talents of silver (to Scaurus himself) and recognition of Roman supremacy over Nabatea. Aretas would retain all Nabataean territory and possessions, becoming a vassal of the Roman Republic.

The Al-Khazneh or 'Treasury' building in Petra is where Aretas III was entombed.

Do they work the same as they did in DFO/RoA?
It slowly builds up to like 3k and if you dont pay it you lose the house? Or is it more like holdings where it eats your meditation points?
If it is the old way do they plan to make any changes since there doesn't seem to be much point in owning a house anywhere not near where you live.

Economics drives District 2 candidate forum
By Yasmine Regester, Staff Writer / August 11, 2017
And then there were three.
Five candidates filed to run for the District 2 seat and as of August 3, two candidates, Felicia Angus and Tim Vincent, announced they would be withdrawing from the race.
On August 3, District 2 candidates were invited to meet and greet the community at the Concerned Citizens of Northeast Greensboro meeting at Peeler Recreation Center. Not held like a traditional forum, each of the remaining candidates, CJ Brinson, Goldie Wells and Jim Kee were each given time to give an opening statement and then five minutes to answer questions from meeting attendees.
While the topic of economic empowerment led the forum, candidates also addressed housing, crime, and police-community relations.
CJ Brinson
"I'm trying to reach the most marginalized in our community. District 2 is in a state of crisis, a state of crime, and in a state of underdevelopment. I plan to resist, demand and fight that all lives in our district be affirmed," said candidate CJ Brinson, a Black Lives Matter organizer.
A few residents said they had never seen Brinson's face before in the community and questioned his support of the district. A former community organizer for Beloved Community Center, Brinson listed his recent activities with Operation GSO Transparency, a grassroots organization that calls for police accountability. The group has been active in the Dejuan Yourse and Jose Charles police altercation cases. Brinson has also worked with local barber, Gene Blackmon to host meetings to address community violence. Brinson has also been a member of the Renaissance Community Co-op grocery store for the last two years.
Wells said she was glad a young person like Brinson was entering the political arena.
"I'm so glad a young person like CJ is involved because it's about getting all people involved. When I first ran for office, I came out because I was gung ho and wanted to see change but I realized I was just one person," said Wells about her first dive into the political pool.
Wells served on council from 2005-2009, and was recently unanimously selected by the City Council to fill the unexpired term of District 2 Council member Jamal Fox, who resigned in July. She added that it is her experience that will help her to be able to work well with everyone across the board.
"I can't make promises to change council because there are eight other people. But I do promise that I'll be faithful to this community as I have been since '98 when we first formed the Concerned Citizens of Northeast Greensboro," Wells said.
Under her leadership, the group fought for eight years for the new McGirt-Horton Public Library on Phillips Avenue. Wells also helped form and led the Citizens for Economic and Environmental Justice (CEEJ), which fought the reopening of the White Street Landfill and helped steer the development of the Renaissance Community Co-op.
Jim Kee
Jim Kee, a developer and former city council member from 2009-2013, led with the need for economic development as a driver to address the district's economic and social justice issues.
"I'm running for the citizens. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and I consider District 2 to be the weakest link. We need economic development," said Kee who highlighted his collaboration with two minority businesses to help them secure city contracts. The two Greensboro-based companies were, The United Maintenance Group for the city's loose-leaf collection, and Enpulse Energy Conservation, a company hired to measure the methane gas at the White Street Landfill to be converted into energy.
"If people have money in their pockets they don't want to steal. We're the third largest city in North Carolina and we're behind in economic development. If you serve on council, you have to have a vision for the whole city. We have to have a representative that will go out and get the business, not just wait for it to come," he said.
Brinson's take is that the city does economic development wrong, using the current renovations at Revolution Mill on Yanceyville Street as an example.
"No longer should we do development that benefits corporations and leaves the community behind," he said. "In my estimation, Revolution Mill was not a good plan. So many people in that community are going to be dispossessed because they won't be able to keep up with the tax base," said Brinson, suggesting a more community centered approach.
"Corporations come in that don't hire our people that live in the communities. I support development that will be community centered. The city has to do a better job so that we have jobs in place that those living in the community can keep in line with property values," he added.
Wells, called the Revolution Mill construction the biggest development Greensboro has going on right now, saying that just because someone may not want to patronize the business, does not mean it wasn't a good plan.
Goldie Wells
"When we talk about the ills in District 2 we also need to talk about the good things," said Wells pointing out that also under construction in District 2 is the Nealtown Connector, a Printworks restaurant, and 200 apartment units, where two-thirds will be affordable housing.
Calling District 2 'racially identifiable' by its landscape, she is also concerned with the appearance of the district and said she will encourage developers to plant at least one tree when building single family homes.
At the meeting, residents expressed their concerns that only certain parts of District 2 regularly receives access to economic development opportunities, leaving the rest of the community behind.
District 2 is the second largest district in Greensboro, reaching north bordering most of Lake Townsend and along U.S. 29 to the South near the intersection of Wendover Avenue and Burlington Road. District boundaries then follow East Market Street to downtown Greensboro and the western border follows North Church Street. District 2 also includes several satellite annexation areas both east and west of US 29.
In such a diverse district, Brinson stated that even crime can be addressed through economic justice. Brinson suggested methods used in other cities to reduce crime such as workforce programs, apprenticeship programs and community interveners that can treat violence as a health issue as opposed to criminalizing those who are impoverished in the community.
"You need someone who can address the urgency of the time to address these issues. I'm scared for my children to have interactions with the police," said Brinson. "We can't continue to believe that more police will stop crime. We have to hold our police accountable."
Kee said he agreed with Brinson's stance that police interaction with the community should be addressed, touting more police initiated community programs.
"Public safety is important and the interaction between police department and African American community. The police department has to initiate it. I plan to talk about what the community concerns are and be a voice for the people. Everyone deserves respect," said Kee. "We have to make sure we are addressing that because we had a major situation in 1979 and we don't want a reoccurrence of that. I want to make sure that your kids are safe, my kids and my grandkids."
Wells also attributed crime in the community to an economic issue, lamenting that 13 out of the 23 homicides reported in Greensboro this year happened in District 2.
"Economics is our problem. We don't have jobs. What happens to our young men aged 16-25? Everybody didn't go to college that's in Greensboro. But people can do construction jobs and make good money. We have to be open-minded to developers so somebody can start building and bring jobs that pay decent [wages]," she said, "I want to work with people to get solutions, get in there and work with people to get what we need."
Primary Elections are October 10, where the top two finishers will go forward to the General Election on November 7.


a fine day to see things in a good light.
We must see with the eyes God gave us, not the ones we have grown accustomed to. The eyes that God gave us see the way He wants us to see in ways that will light us from within.
It is easy to cloud our vision and dim the light by seeing temptation as something to welcome rather then something to resist. We can block ourselves from seeing things the correct way by allowing ourselves to become excited or aroused by the immorality that pervades our lives on a daily basis.
God wants us to see things that are broken and work to fix them. He wants us to see pain and work to ease it. The eyes God gave us should also see all of the beauty that abounds and point that beauty out to others so they may enjoy it and become closer to God as a result.
God knows better than any of us that there are many things to see in this world that can weaken our resolve to do the right things. It is for that reason we can pray directly to Him for strength to fight the evil things we see before us.
The miracles of life, the beauty of the sky and the earth, the wonders of the ocean – all of these things are gifts from God to be enjoyed with the eyes that He gave us.
He wants us to see the right path when the landscape before us is littered with sin, temptation, sexual immorality and other forms of wrong doing.
God gave us eyes to see the things that are wrong so that we can work to fix them. He gave us Jesus Christ to help us see the way to do the right things and to help us avoid temptation.
Let the eyes God gave us light up our entire being by seeing things the way He wants us to.

Timmy Hill (#15)and Jennifer Jo Cobb (#41) both had a rough outing at the Auto Club Speedway this past weekend in California. With both never competing on the track and the young RWR team still trying to figure out the NEW car in the Nationwide Series showed just how tough this series can be.
Hill qualified his Ford in the 32nd position as Cobb managed to put her Lilly Trucking Ford, 40th on the grid.
"This place was tougher than we expected and never really got a hold of the track until the last 40 laps of the race, even though we turned nearly 130 laps of practice," Hill stated.
Cobb struggled with the setup and ultimately felt that the car was just to "far out" to compete without possibly wrecking it and ended up 38th on the day.
Hill stayed true all day to figure out the track and car and finished 32nd on the day.
"We learned a ton today and I think we can show that next week at Texas," claimed Hill.
Rick Ware Racing (RWR) is proud to announce that Jennifer Jo Cobb will be driving the #41 at the Auto Club Speedway for the running of the Royal Purple 300 on Saturday.
RWR and Cobb's deal came together late Sunday after issues at Bristol forced her out of her recent ride in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Ware is no stranger to female drivers. In fact, RWR has fielded entries for Angie Wilson, Amber Cope, Chrissy Wallace and Kim Crosby, perhaps putting him as the leader in the NASCAR series' for promoting women racers within the sanctioning body of NASCAR.
Jennifer Jo Cobb will be team mates with her competitor for the Rookie of the Year championship with Timmy Hill in the #15 Ford Mustang.
"Most people would look at having two rookies in the same race as a conflict, but not us. Timmy and Jennifer are fierce competitors both on and off the track," stated Ware. At Las Vegas, Hill challenged Cobb to a standoff at the autograph signing at the Stratosphere Hotel.
"I'm not going to stop signing until she does," Hill laughed. The two rookies signed autographs until the lights were turned off and forced them to stop. "It's a friendly rivalry between us that is a benefit to the fans at each event. She is a great driver and I look forward to her being in our camp this weekend at California," stated Hill.
Rick Ware Racing (RWR) is proud to announce that Greeting Express has returned to the family of primary sponsors for the Scotts EZ Seed 300 with driver Carl Long at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.
With a heavy heart, Greeting Express and Rick Ware Racing will be honoring their teammates, Dean Shaut and Steve "Dirt" Masch who were involved in a fatal accident last weekend by having each ride as a "co-pilot" with their names over the passenger door for the remainder of the season. In addition, the team will carry a special note to "Dirt" on the deck lid of the #41 for the race.
The partnership of greetingexpress.com and Rick Ware Racing started last fall with a very successful showing in the Camping World Truck Series in Loudon, NH. The #47 Truck was driven by Bobby Hamilton, Jr. to a top ten finish and led to an incredible amount of exposure for the growing company.
Greeting Express, Inc., a custom web-to-print company offering everything from business cards to high-end photo books based in Durham, NC, is proud to announce the next chapter in its relationship with Rick Ware Racing as a primary sponsor. The multi-race deal will kick off in Bristol, TN this weekend with greetingexpress.com #41 Nationwide Ford Mustang driven by Carl Long.
Greetingexpress.com decided to return for the 2011 season because of the positive feelings surrounding their NASCAR debut, and the treatment they received as a sponsor with Rick Ware Racing. Founding President of Greeting Express, Inc. Kate Sessoms said, "bringing back our sponsorship for the race at Bristol is an opportune time for us as we are live launching our custom design studio and going full web to print the week leading up to the race. We are confident in not only the abilities of Rick Ware Racing from a sponsor point of view, but also appreciate how their close knit family mentality fits in with our own".
This same sentiment was the original spark to the first sponsorship deal back in 2010. Since then Rick Ware Racing has not only gained followers, but also a group of young talented drivers including Jeffrey Earnhardt and Timmy Hill.
Greeting Express, Inc. is thrilled for this next chapter with "the biggest little team in motorsports", and is hopeful to build a lasting relationship with the dedicated team.
Be sure to visit www.greetingexpress.com, or find them on facebook, and follow all of the exciting new features coming soon on and off the track!

Norfolk hospital is first to join new breast cancer trial
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn is the first in Europe to sign up for a ground-breaking breast cancer trial, which aims to identify women at risk - Credit: QEH
A Norfolk hospital has become the first to sign up for a ground-breaking breast cancer trial.
Researchers at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn are investigating whether cancer can be detected earlier if markers in the blood can be identified in women at a high risk of developing the condition.
It was the first of 21 hospitals to sign up for the Early Markers for Breast Cancer Detection study is funded by Cancer Research UK and the first to recruit patients to take part.
People at high risk often undergo a double mastectomy, so detecting the disease at an earlier stage could be a major step forward to eliminate the need to have surgery.
The QEH's breast screening department and research team invited every woman who was eligible to join the trial when attending their check-up. So far 12 have been recruited.
While coronavirus has halted much research as hospitals focussed resources on tackling the virus, staff at the QEH say fighting Covid has brought them closer together, which has enabled them kick-start the new study.
Research nurse and principal investigator Hayley Webb, who is leading the work, said: "At the beginning, Covid overruled a lot of our lives and we had to adapt to what was the most important thing at the time, but by working as a team, we've managed really well.

"We're really supportive of one another, and if there is one positive outcome from Covid, it's that it has brought us all together."
Antonia Hardcastle, research manager at the hospital, said, "The team are brilliant, they've coped really well. We've really enjoyed the spirit of working together during Covid, so we're now looking for new studies where everyone can continue this."
Helen Macdonald, chief operating officer for the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)'s Clinical Research Network Eastern said: "It is excellent to see that, despite the challenging odds, Hayley and the team have ensured that essential research can continue and patients are given the opportunity to take part in it."


Pine helps to restore a positive sense of inner self-value or self worth. Those in need of Pine suffer from feelings of guilt, shame, self-blame or self reproach and will often take responsibility for, or even apologize for, something that has nothing to do with them at all. They are never truly satisfied with themselves and tend to feel that others are better than they are. It is difficult for those in this state to find any real sense of achievement or joy in life.

Impact Assessment and European Added Value work during the eighth legislative term, 2014-2019
The responsibility for better law-making is shared between the European Union institutions. In recent years Parliament has developed its own instruments to guarantee proper and independent assessment and to support parliamentary committees in their work. The concept of impact assessment is applied throughout the whole policy cycle – on both an ex-ante and an ex-post basis – from the design of legislation through to its implementation, evaluation and revision.

The concept of impact assessment is applied throughout the whole policy cycle – on both an ex-ante and an ex-post basis – from the design of legislation through to its implementation, evaluation and revision. The European Parliament also advocates a proper assessment of European added value, in terms of what savings will result from a European solution and if supplementary costs would arise in the absence of a European solution. This briefing provides a look back over five years' experience in support of better regulation for the benefit of citizens.

An EU framework to facilitate investments in environmentally sustainable economic activities
This initial appraisal assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment accompanying its proposals for three regulations on: establishing a framework to facilitate sustainable investment disclosures relating to sustainable investments and sustainability risks; and on introducing two new categories of carbon benchmarks in the (benchmark) Regulation (EU) 2016/1011. The legislative package on sustainable finance deals with technical and inherently complex issues; ...
This initial appraisal assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment accompanying its proposals for three regulations on: establishing a framework to facilitate sustainable investment disclosures relating to sustainable investments and sustainability risks; and on introducing two new categories of carbon benchmarks in the (benchmark) Regulation (EU) 2016/1011. The legislative package on sustainable finance deals with technical and inherently complex issues; it is therefore not surprising that the IA accompanying it reflects such a complexity, which is not always dealt with in a clear and immediately understandable way. This might also explain the double negative opinions, unusually followed in this case by a positive opinion with reservations issued by the Commission's Regulatory Scrutiny Board (RSB). The consequences of the two identified problems (lack of incentives to consider ESG factors and high search costs faced by end-investors), and how they would evolve without EU action, are described in a satisfactory way, as well as their underlying drivers. As required, the IA identifies general and specific objectives, but no operational objectives that would have informed about how the preferred options are expected to operate in practice. This is very likely due to the fact the operational aspects of the proposals are envisaged to be defined, and analytically developed, by subsequent delegated acts. The IA's preferred options are selected after considering both a non-legislative and a regulatory approach, although two of them contains some aspects that are not entirely clear. As regards its scope, the IA has only partially succeeded in explaining the impacts considered in an entirely satisfactory way. The IA does not include an analysis of competitiveness nor an analysis of impacts, if any, on SMEs. The evidence included in the IA provides ample and detailed insights into the issues considered and some methodological limitations, regarding the proposal on low carbon and positive carbon impact benchmarks are acknowledged in the IA. The Commission has consulted extensively a broad range of stakeholders, whose views have been satisfactorily reported in the IA or in a separate document containing the results of the second open public consultation. Overall, the IA appears to have addressed the majority of the improvements requested by the RSB. Finally, the legislative proposals seem to be consistent with the analysis carried out in the IA.

The first describes early techniques, described as 'symbolic AI' while the second focusses on the 'data driven' approaches that currently dominate and the third looks towards possible future developments. By explaining what is 'deep' about deep learning and showing that AI is more maths than magic, the briefing aims to equip the reader with the understanding they need to engage in clear-headed reflection about AI's opportunities and challenges, and meaningful debates about its development.

Setting minimum requirements for water reuse
The Commission proposal aims to increase the uptake of water reuse for agricultural irrigation. The supporting impact assessment (IA) is based on extensive data and analysis. The range of options, the scope and the analysis of impacts, and the stakeholder consultation seem to have been done in line with the Better Regulation Guidelines. However, the objectives set in the IA are not time-bound, nor measurable. Furthermore, proportionality of the options and the presentation of the problem could be ...

Removing obstacles to investments in infrastructure projects, like the Trans-European Transport network (TEN-T), contributes to the Investment Plan for Europe. The European Commission recently issued a legislative proposal to streamline measures for advancing realisation of the TEN-T, as problems concerning delays and legal uncertainties impact on the effective completion. This briefing provides an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment accompanying the above-mentioned proposal and assesses in particular to what extent the requirements of the Commission's own Better Regulation Guidelines have been respected. Overall, the impact assessment appears to provide a comprehensive problem analysis and to link it with objectives and options. However, some issues could have been further explained and the objectives could have been more specific. Greater attention could also have been given to the initiative's impact on SMEs and more detailed information provided about the respondents in the consultation process.

This briefing provides an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the impact assessment accompanying the Commission's proposal.

The European Commission recently issued a legislative proposal to increase cross-border distribution of investment funds. This briefing provides an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the impact assessment accompanying the Commission's proposal. Based on both internal and some external sources, as well as several stakeholder consultations, the impact assessment provides useful information, but lacks coherence and transparency. It acknowledges some limitations, citing lack of data and the influence of other factors, which are out of the scope of the impact assessment. The range of proposed policy options is rather limited for some areas. The impact assessment focuses on average cost effects for asset managers (and for competent authorities), without taking into account social or territorial implications and without analysing, for instance, the effects on SMEs or on the EU27 after Brexit.

This briefing provides an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment (IA) accompanying the above-mentioned proposal, published on 8 March 2018 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs (ECON). The strengthening of the capital markets to boost long-term investment in the EU is a priority EU goal. In this context, the Commission's 2017 mid-term review of the capital markets union (CMU) action plan noted that access to finance for small, innovative businesses is a challenge in all EU countries, even those where access to bank finance has remained stable during the financial crisis. Start-ups and other unlisted firms lack risk finance to invest in innovation and growth, in particular in the early stages of their development (IA, p. 6, 8). In view of closing this gap and complementing bank financing, the Commission supports alternative sources of financing, including technology-enabled financial services, the largest part of which consists in crowdfunding. In this context, crowdfunding is defined as an 'open call for the collecting of resources ... from the wider public through an internet-based platform for a specific project' (IA, p. 8). A 2016 Commission staff working document noted that crowdfunding has been developing rapidly since 2013, but remained concentrated in a few EU countries, with 81 % market share in the United Kingdom (UK) (IA, p. 16). Some Member States introduced national rules to regulate their online platforms and/or apply elements of existing EU legislation on financial services to specific types of crowdfunding, while others leave some aspects of the activity unregulated. This regulatory patchwork hinders cross-border crowdfunding and creates considerable market fragmentation (IA, pp. 26-30).

This note seeks to provide an initial analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European Commission's impact assessment (IA) accompanying the above proposals on (1) borders and visa; and on (2) police and judicial cooperation, asylum and migration, submitted on 12 December 2017 and referred to Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs. In 2016, the European Commission stressed the need for interoperability between EU border and security information systems. Likewise, the Joint Declaration on the EU's legislative priorities for 2018-2019 identified interoperable EU information systems as a key priority. The initiative aims to make information exchange and data sharing between the various EU information systems more effective and efficient, fully upholding fundamental rights, so as to boost the protection of the EU's external borders, improve migration management and enhance internal security. Interoperability is not a new topic, already in 2004 the European Council called for enhanced interoperability between the Schengen Information System (SIS) II, the Visa Information System (VIS) and Eurodac (the EU asylum fingerprint database).

Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti questioned the grounds on which the accused in the Samjhauta blast case were acquitted by a court on Wednesday.
"Despite damning evidence, the accused including a former RSS member have been acquitted. God forbid, had they been Kashmiris / Muslims, they would be pronounced guilty & imprisoned without even a fair trial. Why such double standards and leniency towards saffron terror?" the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister asked.
Mufti's reaction came after a special court in Haryana acquitted Swami Aseemanand and three others in the Samjhauta train blast case that left 68 people, mostly Pakistanis, dead in 2007.
