The Dark Ages — live from the Middle East!
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | The most frightening aspect of the present war is how easily our pre-modern enemies from the Middle East have brought a stunned postmodern world back into the Dark Ages.
Students of history are sickened when they read of the long-ago, gruesome practice of beheading. How brutal were those societies that chopped off the heads of Cicero, Sir Thomas More and Marie Antoinette. And how lucky we thought we were to have evolved from such elemental barbarity.
Twenty-four hundred years ago, Socrates was executed for unpopular speech. The 18th-century European Enlightenment gave people freedom to express views formerly censored by clerics and the state. Just imagine what life was like once upon a time when no one could write music, compose fiction or paint without court or church approval?
Ancient Greek literary characters, from Lysistrata to Antigone, reflected the struggle for sexual equality. The subsequent notion that women could vote, divorce, dress or marry as they pleased was a millennia-long struggle.
Beheading? As we saw with Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl, our Neanderthal enemies in the Middle East have resurrected that ancient barbarity — and married it with 21st-century technology to beam the resulting gore instantaneously onto our computer screens. Xerxes and Attila, who stuck their victims' heads on poles for public display, would've been thrilled by such a gruesome show.
Who would have thought centuries after the Enlightenment that sophisticated Europeans — in fear of radical Islamists — would be afraid to write a novel, put on an opera, draw a cartoon, film a documentary or have their pope discuss comparative theology?
The astonishing fact is not just that millions of women worldwide in 2006 are still veiled from head-to-toe, trapped in arranged marriages, subject to polygamy, honor killings and forced circumcision, or are without the right to vote or appear alone in public. What is more baffling is that in the West, liberal Europeans are often wary of protecting female citizens from the excesses of Sharia law — sometimes even fearful of asking women to unveil their faces for purposes of simple identification and official conversation.
Since Sept. 11, the West has fought enemies who are determined to bring back the nightmarish world that we thought was long past. And there are lessons Westerners can learn from radical Islamists' ghastly efforts.
First, the Western liberal tradition is fragile and can still disappear. Just because we have sophisticated cell phones, CAT scanners and jets does not ensure that we are permanently civilized or safe. Technology used by the civilized for positive purposes can easily be manipulated by barbarians for destruction.
Second, the Enlightenment is not always lost on the battlefield. It can be surrendered through either fear or indifference as well. Westerners fearful of terrorist reprisals themselves shut down a production of a Mozart opera in Berlin deemed offensive to Muslims. Few came to the aid of a Salman Rushdie or Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh when their unpopular expression earned death threats from Islamists. Van Gogh, of course, was ultimately killed.
The Goths and Vandals did not sack Rome solely through the power of their hordes; they also relied on the paralysis of Roman elites who no longer knew what it was to be Roman — much less whether it was any better than the alternative.
To grasp the flavor of our own Civil War, impersonators now don period dress and reconstruct the battles of Shiloh or Gettysburg. But we need no so such historical reenactment of the Dark Ages. You see, they are back with us — live almost daily from the Middle East.


Today, over half of the world's population lives in urban areas and by the middle of this century 7 out of 10 people will live in a city. This increased urbanization has also lead to more and more people residing in informal settlements, generally known as slums.
The proliferation of slums is a worldwide problem that the UN-habitat had coined "The challenge of Slums" in 2003. While there are many different definitions of what constitutes a slum, for residents the reality is often inadequate shelter, poor sanitation, insufficient access to healthcare and in general a poor quality of life.
By the middle of the 21st century, it is estimated that the urban population of developing countries will more than double, increasing from 2.5 billion in 2009 to almost 5.2 billion in 2050. In India (2011) roughly 13.7 million households, or 17.4% of urban Indian households, were considered to be part of a slum. Each slum in a city suffers from varying degrees of depravity.
This project aims to build high-resolution agent-based models that can describe the growth dynamics of slums in Bangalore. Such a model will create a virtual slum that decision-makers, and researchers, can use to explore how different policies would influence the growth, development or contraction of slums.
The project team plans to build on their existing work and develop a decision support system for slums in general, which will help guide experts when evaluating or designing policies to improve conditions within slums. This involves developing new computational methods for analyzing satellite images and new data visualization techniques for simulation steering.
Through extending the existing decision support prototype, and applying it to a new domain of slum policy, the hope is to generalize the current software. Therefore, this proposal will aim to develop a reusable software framework for decision support and disseminate it to other users.

T.I.'s Wife Tiny Wants Equal Division of All Assets, Alimony and Primary Custody of Their Children
Jason Merritt, Getty Images
T.I.'s wife Tiny has filed for divorce. Now, according to Page Six, Tiny is requesting primary physical custody of their kids, as well as with equal division of all assets plus temporary and permanent alimony.
Along with primary physical custody, Tiny is also requesting joint legal custody of her three kids, Clifford "King" Joseph Harris III, 12, Major Philant Harris, 8, and Heiress Diana Harris, nine months. You can view the court documents via The Jasmine Brand. Tameka "Tiny" Harris filed for divorce from Tip, real name is Clifford Harris Jr., on Dec. 7 in Henry County, Georgia.
Tiny's attorney writes, "Should custody in this case become contested it would be in the best interest of the children for the Court to appoint a Guardian ad Litem to represent the interest of said children and do a full and complete in-home study and further to appoint a mental health expert to do full psychological evaluations on both parties as well as the children for purposes of assisting the Court in making a custody determination."
A source has recently told TMZ that there may be a chance the entire divorce get's called off. Since filing for the divorce earlier this month Tip and Tiny have met in person at least twice and on one occasion "things got romantic." T.I. was at Tiny's home around Christmas and they reportedly got along great. The major issue that's causing friction between the two lovebirds of 20 years is trust.
It was previously reported that T.I. and Tiny have been experiencing marital issues, and things may have gotten a lot worse after Tiny appeared in a photo with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at a Halloween party.
It's been two years since T.I.P. and Mayweather's infamous brawl. In a 2014 interview with XXL, Tiny downplayed the Floyd situation.
"It was all blown out of proportion," Tiny said. "But the Floyd thing, I've kind of hung my hat up on it. I'm not really talking about it because I feel like it's just kind of overdone and it's disrespectful to my husband. I don't really want to have a blown out conversation about another man that [T.I.] kind of is or was at odds with."

Inside config/index.js, in module property, this is how i set up the babel loader, i am not sure if its the right way to do it.
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.s(c|a)ss$/,
        use: [

      this.controls = new ArcballControls(
        this.camera,
        this.renderer.domElement,
        this.scene
      )

Could some one help me to find what i am doing wrong here ?

A: Inside the file config/index.js on module added babel loader.
{
    test: /\.jsx?$/,
    exclude: /node_modules/,
    use: ['babel-loader']
},

in package.json removed unnecessary dependencies and downgraded some.
Node version i am using is 14.17.4 and because of that, node-sass had to downgrade to 4.14.1,
after the issue with loader for threejs was fixed, i had issues with
sass loader.
"node-sass": "^4.14.1",
"prettier-eslint": "^13.0.0",
"sass": "^1.49.7",
"sass-loader": "^7.3.1",
"@babel/core": "^7.12.16",
"@babel/eslint-parser": "^7.12.16",

i removed babel-loader and babel-preset-es2015 from package.json.
This is my babel-config.js
module.exports = {
  presets: ['@vue/cli-plugin-babel/preset'],
}

When i made these changes i am able to access the arcballcontrol from threejs.

I've never been much of a geocoin collector but I have a couple dozen that I plan on selling off (need Christmas money). My most valuable by far is a 2005 Lackey coin that was given to my by Bryan Roth. I know some coins have restrictions on selling. Are there any restrictions on this coin I should be aware of before listing it on e-bay?
The only restriction that I remember on that one is that Signal will always be the owner of record. You won't be able to adopt it away to the buyer.
Mine has never been activated or logged, however, when I look up the tracking number it does have Signal the Frog listed as the owner.
Are there any restrictions on this coin I should be aware of before listing it on e-bay?
After some discussion with Meesa. We have decided to keep it in the family instead of selling it. It now resides in Monkey Man & Lulu's collection.
What did the 2005 Lackey geocoin look like?
Thanks. I need to find one of those.
Anyone have the link for the adoption request for 2005 and 2007 lackey coins?

Proprietary vs. open-source VoIP systems
Chris Wanamaker2019-03-27T10:41:37-07:00
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has come a long way in helping businesses use sophisticated features with significant cost savings. The challenge for small- and medium-sized businesses is knowing where to begin. Here's a list of pros and cons to help you decide which system is right for you.
What are "proprietary" systems?
When most companies release VoIP software, such as Microsoft's Skype, they often package it in a way that makes it almost impossible for users to view or alter the programming code. By keeping it locked down, they retain control over which hardware and software systems it is compatible with and prevent hackers from uncovering vulnerabilities.
One of the biggest benefits of a proprietary VoIP system is a consistent user experience across compatible hardware devices and software integrations. Brand-name handsets and third-party software must be programmed by the VoIP system's developer to be compatible, so you know everything will be optimized for a uniform and reliable user experience.
But keep in mind that, in the majority of cases, the added security and polished integrations of these systems cost more than open-source alternatives.
What are "open-source" systems?
The programming code that enables open-source VoIP solutions to work is free and accessible to anyone. Open-source systems are made to be more of a starting point than a finished solution, which means they're usually pretty rough around the edges until you customize them.
The two best things about an open-source system are the cost and the flexibility. The core system will be totally free, but tailoring it to your desktops, handsets, and servers will require a fair amount of time and technical expertise. This usually requires a larger upfront investment when compared to proprietary systems, but will pay off with lower operational costs as time goes on.
The tradeoffs between open-source and proprietary systems are fairly even. The former is often better for business owners who prioritize keeping costs low, while the latter is usually better for those who prefer refined solutions. Choosing between the two comes down to your customer service model, IT resources, and business priorities.
Small businesses like yours can enjoy personalized, high-end IT solutions, they just need support from experienced technicians. With years of experience in VoIP, we're the answer to all your problems. To learn about what we think is best for your business, call today!

Well my fellow Justinians, it is TIME TO DECIDE, on our village's future.
Things have not been going as well as they could.
There is certainly too much infighting on the seated Justice Village Board.
The inserts that have been added to the door hangers, placed by the Peoples Voice Party, are inflammatory and certainly contain too many falsehoods to count. Ask yourself, why is it so common for politicians to blame the opponents for their own shortcomings? The PVP has been at the helm long enough for us voters to know just what they are about. A lot of splash, which usually means, short on substance. A large amount of our tax money has been wasted by the PVP.
Monuments, lawsuits, signs, TIF advisers, media consultants, and a lot of expensive misdirection.
The mission of the PVP seems to be, spotlight themselves and not promote our village.
It does look like our village and its residents are an afterthought.
McGee, Cormany, Heabel and Koslowski must not be allowed to continue their wasteful ways. It is their culture and they won't change.
They can only be contained.
The CPOJ, I'm so proud to say has very intelligent and purposeful candidates, an impressive group. Vote to let them take the helm!
What can we tell you that you probably haven't already heard? How could three political parties find the will to part with the past and focus on the future?
We have seen the results that two years of political bickering have brought to the village of Justice. A place we all love. Elected trustees of a village are first and foremost servants and when they forget this, it's time for them to move on. Shouldn't a village board be the bedrock of a community? What about trustees working together with a mayor for the common good of the village? We just don't have that right now, but this election can end this problem and bring attention back to where it needs to be. This election is historic, in that we can bring an order of pride and sensibility back to the residents by casting our vote. We must join together if we want to overcome the difficult times we live in. If the Coalition Party of three groups can understand this and come together then we believe the choice is obvious.
Four Peoples Voice trustees have left the village board since last election, four! Ask any mayor of any town if they have lost two trustees in a similar period, we have lost four. This is embarrassing and further drops our credibility when compared to other villages. If the PVP can't keep their house in order, how will they handle an entire community?
Many years of hard work have given us fully reconstructed streets in the Roberts Park area of town with two and possibly three more to come. All of this was paid for with a $2.6 million state grant. This is what you get when a mayor works with his board and a good front office. What is the answer to this? Your current PVP trustees want to replace the administrator responsible for processing all of the complex paperwork on the project, with their campaign manager Jerry Carter. The current board is trying to dismantle a winning formula. Why? Mr. Carter does not have the experience we need to procure funds like this, but they tell us they can save money by paying him less. We believe this behavior is reckless and improper.
An historic monument was moved from where it sat for 40 years. This may not be news to you. What should have been a community-building event was turned into the personal ambition of just two individuals, Dan McGee and Kinga Bartoszek. There were no contests, no fund raising drives, no attempts made to consult with veterans groups, no pitching the idea to the town's residents or consulting with the living seniors who worked to construct the original site, just the arrogance of conceit to push it through.
We now learn the new monument to Vets was placed on the same spot a new-lighted football/soccer field was to have been built! Because the Justice board trustees wouldn't listen to anybody, including Lyons Township trustees administering the funding and their attorney, we just lost $316,000.00 of grant money to construct a ball field. The "Save The Timbers" Bond Referendum, approved by voters in 2004, is funding the Lyons Township Parks Program, our neighboring towns all got a piece of. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Even though we will not get our share of the pie, we are Lyons Township residents and will still be paying the taxes for it. The good news is we can still go to any of the other Lyons Township villages and use their new facilities. Is that teamwork? No that's your Peoples Voice Party.
The candidates of the Coalition Party of the Village of Justice are committed to progress, service and balance, and one more thing that the PVP lacks, respect for the community and its residents.
This is in response to the PVP's misstatement from their flyer delivered to our residence on the 16 of March 2010 regarding political yard signs. It reads in part, that residents have informed them that they are being pressured to display the Coalition Party yard signs, while defacing and/or removing the PVP's political signs. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If anyone from their following has, or as they say, witnessed the removal and/or defacement of any political yard signs, then, they are being less than truthful or it never happened. This is another absurd political tactic by the PVP.
If the "Peoples Voice Party believes in respecting the property of our residents" as they state on their flyer. Why then, would they be asking us, the residents to display their political propaganda inside our Homes; after all as the saying goes, aren't our homes supposed to be our castles? Then, I believe that we should be spared their political drabble inside our homes. How disrespectful of the PVP.

From time to time we print emails that we recieve from residents allowing them to express their views via our website.
The following has been printed with permission.
I was at a board meeting last night for the 1st time since August. I had been told about the shenanigans that had been going on and thought that I would go see for myself. Shenanigans are not the word, I sat there in awe, I sat there thinking am I in a meeting with adults or am I in a meeting with Kindergartners? You have in one corner a resident who is asking a question about using the Lipinski center by the Park District without paying for the use, you have in the other corner a Trustee stating she has used her allotted time and then the other Trustee saying he wants to adjourn the meeting because he doesn't like the questions being asked, and he wants to know if there is an ordinance saying people can't ask questions.
Now the Attorney, who basically works for us, sits on his hands and doesn't do a thing. The Mayor tries to reign in the residents and the Trustees by saying he runs the meeting they don't and asks the residents to please keep it civil and the Trustee who wants to adjourn the meeting argues with him that he can motion to adjourn if he wants to, and he keeps this up, until again the Mayor states he is running the meeting and he will hear what the residents have to ask.
Another resident asks about the missing signs and she states she received a e-mail from a Trustee telling her if she allows them to come to her house, they will answer her questions about where the signs are. She states she is there, she would like her question answered and he states he can't answer her questions but the other Trustee can, and the other Trustee says he is not answering the question, if she wants she can stay after and he will answer it then. They he proceeds to sit back in his chair and say he will not answer, and the Attorney says he doesn't have to.
By this time, I am laughing and thinking, why did I come. There are so many important things that need to be discussed and taken care of by these people and they act like children. These are elected officials and they act like children, and if they were my children they would be in a time out. No respect for the people that elected you, chaos reigns at this board meeting, people talking over people, Trustees downgrading residents, what has become of this Village.
I don't want Kindergartner's running my Village, I want people who take responsibility for their actions, I want people who respond to the residents, I want people who don't throw blame at people. I want six Trustees to work together to get this Village where it belongs and right now that is not happening. They are digging a pit, and very big pit, and they are throwing us in it and I don't want to go.
Please get out there and vote people, and it you haven't been to a board meeting, the last one with these current Trustees, I hope, is on the 29th of March, come on in and see who you voted for, and the latest edition of the Village of Justice's imitation of the Charlie Sheen Fiasco.
Will your voice still be heard?
For the second board meeting in a row, Trustees from the People's Voice Party made an attempt to adjourn the meeting while a resident had a question on the floor, only this time, it proved unsuccessful as the resident came prepared with a copy of Robert's Rules of Order. That didn't seem to halt Trustee Bartoszek who made a further attempt to end the "Voices from the Floor" portion of the meeting; she came armed with a portion of the Village Code and was attempting to use it against the resident, but only succeeded in getting across that there is a time limit per question. As it seems to be the case lately, more residents are coming out and asking tough questions which they seem to not want to answer, at least not when they're recorded in the minutes or Trustee McGee's husband is filming.
Further to that point another resident approached the board bringing forth a copy of an email sent to her from Trustee Koszlowski, offering for he and Trustee DePaola to stop over at her house to explain further the situation on the village signs. However, she was wondering why this couldn't of been done at the last board meeting when she asked for an explanation in front of the entire board and audience? Looking like a deer caught in the headlights, Koslowski and DePaola bounced the situation back and forth between each other, stammering that they couldn't answer the question within the proper time frame of a village board meeting. Looks like the transparency that the People's Voice Party promises really delivers! After outcry from the packed house Trustee DePaola attempted to answer the questions after the meeting, and after his cigarette break, but the answers he gave just didn't seem to satisfy anyone.
In the category of most tasteless stands Trustee Bartoszek, who is over administration and finance. When pressed by a resident why an outside IT company was hired at a high cost per hour, when an in house IT person could have done the work cheaper, she stated that the money used to pay for that work was donated by the Trustees salaries, and they had the right to spend it in any way they saw fit. Apparently being financially responsible doesn't extend over into that arena either. In a move of poor taste and lack of professional courtesy, she then went on to publically criticize the former employee's performance as he sat there in the audience. Nothing like an evening full of community building and transparency brought to you, courtesy of the People's Voice Party.
We want to hear your opinions on what you think of recent events happening at board meetings and through the village.
Here's your sign.. Do you really think our town is that dumb?
Problem…There's actually a couple of them. You see, "The Big Check´ was written on the backside of an orange Village Voice campaign sign from a couple of elections ago. We are curious how Phil got his hands on that sign. Maybe he had removed the sign to make repairs and was going to return the sign? Maybe he likes reading Mike Murray's name when it's upside down?
But really, the biggest problems are the reasons the big check was paid back in the first place. Could it be he was caught not giving it back? Seems to me…he never made mention they were going to create an IOU when he voted to volunteer his trustees pay. (Different story there!) He lost his job at the Water Commission. Was it pride; the public servant couldn't make ends meet? He stated he would be "a role model" for Public Service. Oh please.
There are many wonderful souls that make up the Village Voice. All of us are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Adrian Borst. Adrian fell asleep in the lord on Thursday. There will be a wake for Adrian on Sunday at Damar-Kaminski funeral home, 7861 South 88th ave Justice, the hours are 3-9:00pm. Mass will be Monday at Saint Fabians Church, 8300 Thomas ave Bridgeview, at 11:15am.
Adrian and his wife Pat have lived in Justice for over fifty years where they raised a family and are well known throughout the community. Many of us first met him as a Justice trustee. At a time when no one would listen, Adrian broke with his own political party to speak for the residents on Maplewood, 73rd Place and 86th Avenue. Adrian was an original founder of the Village Voice, through which his advice and strength is the backbone of our group. We will miss him dearly.
All is well my fellow Justinian's. In my cycling adventures I have noticed the Robins and the Cardinals are about. Soon we will see lovely shades of green and pastels. Some of the green will be the Lawn Signs of the"Coalition Party of Justice", yes fellow voters the CPOJ. It looks to me, that because of the frustration with the antics of the present seated Village Board, the COALITION PARTY was born. I'm sure the C P will talk about the plans that they have for our proud and broke village. The greatest improvement can be is that they WILL NOT treat people of Justice the way the "People's Voice Party" has been conducting business. It is incredible as to what they have said and have done. The lack of sophistication by the PVP has become obvious. It is all about them and certainly not our village.
The disdain they have for our village is self evident.
It shows in many ways because of their antics and spell check I could go on forever.
Truth is we don't want them around, certainly not on our Village Board.
Time to punch DELETE. That would be done by voting for the good guys.
The Coalition Party of Justice, you will see the names on the green lawn signs. Because of circumstances, there is not enough balance on the present village board.
Your vote for the good guys will correct that mistake.
Come to the Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner March 12th at Szarotka's; ask questions, you will find that the good guys are very smart. They know stuff! They can do more!
The CPOJ needs your input, as apposed to the opposition, they will listen.
Come out and make the CPOJ strong.
Last Monday night, at the village board meeting, Trustees Mary McGee, Phil DePaola, and John Koslowski felt the pressure of several unhappy residents. Numerous questions and comments criticizing them for mishandling various issues left all three with frustrated faces.
Being criticized, in an open setting, with over 80 people in attendance was more than the three trustees could endure. Question after question described their continued unprofessional and incompetent performance over the last several months. Unlike the common pats on the back they continue to give each other, the residents bombarded Trustees McGee, Depaola and Koslowski with precise and uncomplimentary remarks.
As the pressure mounted their frustration continued to unfold. At one point in the meeting Trustee Kolsowski was heard to say, "I don't need this" and began to storm out of the room. In an attempt to save his companion and his party from complete embarrassment Trustee DePaola made a motion to end the meeting and was second by his fellow trustee McGee.
When the vote was taken Only Trustee Rusch voted no in hopes of having the meeting continue until "all" the residents had an opportunity to speak. Unfortunately the meeting was terminated and the three trustees left the hall quickly with disappointment on their faces and their tail tucked between their legs.
Good morning my fellow Justinian's, have you noticed all of those lost looking people wandering around Justice. Not knowing where they were!
That is because somebody stole our Justice signs, yes folks our signs. "The Great Sign Caper" it would be funny but they cost 10 thousand bucks.
The unholy four on our village board, McGee, Bartosak, DePaolo and Koslowski claimed innocence, they knew nuttin. When asked why so much money was spent on cutting the grass (we got clipped) they knew nuttin.
they knew nuttin. The four Nuttins on the Village Board get very angry when asked about how and the process they use to spend the villages tax money. It is looking kinda slimey, the nuttins are a slippery bunch.
It is our money,,,,,,,, maybe they should slip slide away.


A hundred years ago, concerts were far more come-what-may - people played cards, drank beer and appreciated the music. If we go some way towards restoring that spirit, I'll be happy.
There is a terrible conservatism, like a cancer, right in the heartlands of music-making, a tremendous resistance to change, an absolute horror of the idea that more people might connect with music. That infuriates me more than I can say.
